We all know texting and cell phone use is dangerous while driving. So, we pass laws that make it a violation. These laws didn't do didly! Surveys conducted before and after bans on cell phones and texting show no reduction in their use. Absent confiscating a driver's vehicle for a violation, there isn't much that can be done. In other words, cell phone use and texting is so important to so many drivers, mostly the younger drivers, that they will risk getting caught, and worse yet, risk a serious crash, before they will not use a cell phone or text while driving.
Car crashes are the leading cause of teen deaths. Nearly 5,500 people in the US were killed in distracted driving crashes in 2009. Secretary of Transportation, Ray LaHood, released statistics from a poll in 2011 that showed 63 percent of drivers under 30 acknowledged using a hand-held cell phone while behind the wheel. Thirty percent admitted to texting while driving. LaHood said teens are especially vulnerable because of their inexperience at driving, and often peer pressure increases distracted driving practices by teens.
What is even more disturbing is that only 30 percent of those drivers under 30 years old felt it was dangerous to use a hand-held phone while driving, according to a poll conducted by Consumer Reports. So, what we have is a dangerous distracted driving practice by drivers that don't even think it's dangerous. What a recipe for disaster!
Risk-taking is somewhat inherent in all of us, and is usually more prevalent in youth. I guess we get smarter as we get older - at least we seem to understand risky behavior better. Now, if we know that we are undertaking a risk, or engaging in risky behavior, we are more careful than if we are doing something without risk. If we try walking (or running) across a busy street, we are more cautious than if we are walking down the sidewalk. If we drive on Auto Route 401 through the middle of Toronto, which happens to be the busiest highway in North America, we pay a lot more attention to our driving than if we are on a residential street with little or no other traffic, because we understand the different degree of danger highway 401 presents versus the quiet residential street.
The point is, if we perceive something is dangerous, we exercise more attention and care to what we are doing. If we engage in something that is risky but do not perceive it as risky, then we fail to pay the attention required to hopefully succeed in getting past the risk without death or injury.
So, what is the next step we, as a state or nation, should take relative to dealing with distracted driving, and more particularly, texting and cellphone use while driving? I don't have the answer, and neither do our lawmakers. However, one person seemed to have an idea that might work. His proposal was this. If, as experts say, cell phone use and using electronic devices like texting are as dangerous as drunk driving, why not make the penalties similar to drunk driving. That would be a lot stiffer than the current sanctions of fines of $100 (cell phone use) and $150 (texting) and only two points on your license.

Looks like Jim Carrey's co-workers are seeing through his hypocrisy on his latest movie:
The rest of the article is here.Chloe Grace Moretz Blasts Jim Carrey's Stand Against 'Kick-Ass 2'
Jim Carrey's morally driven decision to drop out of the publicity campaign for "Kick-Ass 2" is becoming a lonely stand especially when it comes to his cast mates.
Chloe Grace Moretz, the sixteen-year-old actress who plays Hit Girl in the upcoming film, has made it clear she doesn't put much stock in Carrey's feelings about the film's violence.
"It's a movie," Moretz recently told a reporter. "If you are going to believe and be affected by an action film, you shouldn't go to see 'Pocahontas' because you are going to think you are a Disney princess."
Looking forward to this one as I enjoyed the first Kick Ass.

I've never heard more beautiful music in the sanctuary of First Baptist Church of Jacksonville. The orchestra, choir, and congregation were led by Rev. Andy Bumpus in a most reverent and meaningful worship experience. I've been singing in church since I was a Sunbeam, and I've been blessed to know many dedicated music ministers, but I can honestly say that Andy is the most talented of them all. He writes music; he arranges musical scores for both choir and orchestra; he's a soloist with the civic chorale; he is a brilliant conductor; he plays a variety of instruments at the professional level; and he has taught novices to play instruments so that they could participate in worship. The really amazing thing, though, is that he's so humble that many people in our own church do not realize the depth and quality of his talents. His concern is to be faithful with his spiritual gifts, not to be the center of attention. As churches continue to blur the line between worship and entertainment, Andy is an example of humility to all of us. If possible, his wife Betsy serves even further under the radar. She's in the background providing food for socials and funerals, folding clothes for tornado victims, sending messages of encouragement, singing in the choir and even filling in on the saxophone when needed.
As beautiful as last Sunday's service was, it was also quite sad since it was the last time that Andy will lead worship for us. He and Betsy have joyfully given of themselves to our congregation for 7 years, and they will be sorely missed. His position may be filled, but they will never be replaced.
I was in New Orleans a few months back and saw a man literally standing on his soapbox preaching loudly into a microphone to a largely uninterested stream of pedestrians. Bourbon Street has no shortage of street performers vying for the attention of the crowds, and this guy was definitely losing the competition. I have no reason to doubt his sincerity or question his motives in what he was doing. Like telemarketing, it must achieve the desired effect sometimes or people wouldn't do it. About a block away a group of around fifteen young musicians was serenading a packed crowd with a fabulous blending all kinds of instruments. Their skill and dedication were admirable, and much appreciated by those of us who stopped and listened. I couldn't help but wonder which performance was more pleasing to God. The Bible tells us that life is made up of things that are clean, things that are unclean, and things that are holy. I think it is possible that offering up a gift of talent that has been honed into its highest expression might just fall into the holy category. Screaming judgment at strangers doesn't strike me as quite so appealing.
C. S. Lewis describes humans as amphibians – half spirit and half animal. As spirits we belong to the eternal world and as animals we inhabit time. It's a creative structure that requires us to be in a constant state of rebalancing. Fortunately, God made it pleasant for us to tend to our physical needs. It feels good to eat when we're hungry or sleep when we're tired. Of course when these basic functions get out of balance, the result is misery – just ask anyone with eating issues or insomnia. Being out of balance spiritually can cause even more distress. In Romans 5, we read that our spiritual condition is a trait of our human condition and that God solved the problem of humanity with humanity --- through the Incarnation. Our free will affects our spiritual state and physical state in much the same way, but God offers rescue. We are not so much cowering before a harsh judge as receiving a father's warm welcome into restoration and balance. Grace. It really is amazing.
No, not the Atlanta one. This Fulton County is "the top of Ohio" as the tee shirts proudly display and the trip was a birthday gift for my 50th last November from my friend Lin Veasey. Even I think it's a bit odd that someone would give this gift without ever hearing the recipient mention an interest in such an event, but in fact, some of my fondest childhood memories are of attending the Alabama State Fair with my grandfather. I've been looking forward to the trip for months and it exceeded all my high hopes of reliving a time long gone. I wouldn't have been surprised to see Pa taking a pass from heaven to join me in the adventure.
Where to start? Of course there is the food. I set aside my generally healthy eating habits and seized the fried moment. For the record, fried cheese curd is surprisingly delicious. I spent hours happily browsing the judged exhibits of canned goods, quilts, artwork, flowers, and livestock. In case you didn't know, baby goats are just about the cutest thing going. From the grandstand I watched harness racing and farm boys driving tractors really fast. It seems that everyone in town had a volunteer role in making the fair a success.
The most memorable event, though, was something I had never seen before at a fair. Each year, every couple in the county that has been married for at least 50 years is honored at a reception. The longest married couple is seated in the place of honor up front, and they actually get crowns! This year the prize marriage had been in place since 1943. The tent was packed with golden anniversary couples including Lin's delightful parents, John and Eunice. This wasn't John's only recognition as he also took home the top division horseshoes championship trophy for the 4th consecutive year.
It was refreshing to be reminded of how much can be accomplished by a community that works together. While attending St. James Lutheran Church with Lin's family, I listened to the epistle reading which included a familiar passage from Romans 13, "Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law...You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Love expressed through friendship is truly one of the great blessings of life.
I saw him in the Dallas airport while waiting to board my flight to Portland, OR. He looked like one of my college students with his somewhat rumpled, thoughtfully mismatched clothes and his baseball cap on backwards. I filed him under "too much energy" and returned to Caleb's Crossing, a book about a missionary working with Native Americans in Massachusetts. He was the last person to board the plane where he took his assigned seat right next to me. He cheerfully introduced himself as "Christian" and thus began a three hour church service in the air. He had just graduated from college with a degree in psychology and had taken a job with no salary working as a missionary to Native Americans in Oklahoma. I commented on the appropriateness of his name, and he said that when he was young he hated it and refused to answer to anything but "Opie." We shared our experiences of faith and the questions and ideas that we have about God. At one point he spontaneously broke into a prayer over me. Before we disembarked he gave me two CDs. One contained a sermon delivered by Heidi Baker, a pentecostal missionary to Africa and the other was a collection of rap music with Christian lyrics. I can honestly say that it's unlikely that I would have ever come across either of those things without a chance encounter with a Christian on a journey. I was captivated by Mrs. Baker's account of God's miracles among the orphans that she cares for in Mozambique. As for the rap, well, I'm still learning to appreciate that.
We all know that there are no atheists in foxholes. I was on vacation when I saw the church sign with the updated ruling. Maybe it's just that wars don't seem to involve foxholes anymore, or maybe this church felt the original version was too subtle so they decided to amp it up a bit. Oddly enough, the sign actually could be read as an advertisement for atheism. Think about it. It's like saying, "There are no boys in my club" or "There are no seeds in that watermelon." If one is a boy or a seed, then there's no need to worry about finding oneself in the aforementioned club or watermelon since the rule forbids them being there. So, if I want to say out of Hell, and who doesn't, then I should be an atheist since there are none of them in Hell. Right? Of course, this church meant no such thing, but I made a note of the sign to use in class the next time I teach existential and universal quantifiers. (Sorry, I fell out of church lady mode into math professor mode there for a minute. I was about to draw a Venn diagram!)
Actually, this church has an attitude that is very similar to that of an atheist. The church boldly assumes the role of God in pronouncing its verdict. The atheist boldly proclaims the certainty that God does not exist. The church should know better.
The Bible is very clear about where judgement and vengence belong. It also describes the temperament we should have in approaching God, and the mindset we should adopt in our relations with others. I would run from a church with such blatant disregard for these central teachings. Maybe I'm overreacting and the church just thought it was an attention getter. Maybe they didn't know if "foxholes" was one word or two. But I think the Christianity that we reflect is noticed, and we should humble ourselves before God as a preface to any announcement that we decide to proclaim to the world.

Several players decided to commit to SEC schools during the weekend. Here's the update.
DT Tevin Lawson - Denham Springs (La.) High School
Lawson expected to commit to LSU when he arrived on campus during the weekend.
"I knew I was going to LSU," he told ESPN.com. "I want to represent the state of Louisiana."
OL K.J. Malone – Cedar Creek High School in Ruston, La.
Malone is the son of Hall of Fame basketball player Karl Malone. K.J. Malone figures to be a key part of LSU's offense in the future.
DE Michael Patterson – Winnfield (La.) Senior High School
Patterson committed after watching LSU's spring practice session Saturday.
"To be on the field and look at these guys makes me hungrier to get here and get on the field," Patterson told TigerBait.com.
LSU has nine commitments for the class of 2013.
South Carolina
DE Alfy Hill - Los Angeles Valley Community College
The Shallotte, N.C., native signed with Alabama in 2010 before being ruled academically ineligible. He briefly attended East Carolina before deciding to enroll in junior college.
Hill then decided to commit to North Carolina State before South Carolina convinced him to return to the SEC.
"It feels great," he told PalmettoSports.com. "It's just three hours from my house."
LB Gerald Turner – Goose Creek (S.C.) High School
Turner became South Carolina's third commitment for the class of 2013 when he chose the Gamecocks over Clemson and North Carolina. Turner told Sporting News:
"I feel like I can bring South Carolina's defense to another level with my speed and quickness and I know I may be a little bit undersized, but they are used to playing with an undersized player – like Eric Norwood."
DB Taurean Ferguson – Jonesboro (Ga.) High School
Ferguson, who also had offers from Ole Miss, Cincinnati and Wake Forest, saw the best of both worlds at Vanderbilt.
"I picked Vanderbilt because I looked at it as four years to set myself up for the next 40 years," Ferguson told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I'm going there for the education and sports."
Ferguson is Vanderbilt's fifth commitment for the class of 2013.

|United States
Advertising Age (or AdAge) is a magazine, delivering news, analysis and data on marketing and media. The magazine was started as a broadsheet newspaper in Chicago in 1930. Today, its content appears in a print weekly distributed around the world and on many electronic platforms, including:
www.adage.com, daily e-mail newsletters called Ad Age Daily, Ad Age's Mediaworks and Ad Age Digital; weekly newsletters such as Madison & Vine (about branded entertainment) and Ad Age China; podcasts called Why It Matters and various videos.
www.adage.com also features a bookstore and a number of blogs, some created by the publication's editorial team, others, such as Small Agency Diary are created by members of the Ad Age community. Among its notable columnists is Simon Dumenco as the "Media Guy".
AdAge's parent company also publishes Creativity, about the creative process, which has its own website,
www.creativity-online.com, featuring what its editors believe to be the best video, print and interactive ads. The site
www.adcritic.com was acquired by The Ad Age Group in March 2002, and

The editorial component of AdAge is based in New York City. Its parent company, Detroit-based Crain Communications, is a privately held publishing company with more than 30 magazines, including TelevisionWeek, Creativity, Crain's New York Business, Crain's Chicago Business, Crain's Detroit Business, Crain's Cleveland Business, and Automotive News. The corporate and circulation component of TelevisionWeek, as with all of the Crain publications, is based at Crain's headquarters in Downtown Detroit.

The eLab online panel is an opt-in, informed consent, privacy protected "subject pool" for the Web-based research experiments and surveys conducted by
resident/affiliated faculty and post-doctoral fellows at Vanderbilt University.
A few times a year, we invite our Panel members to participate in eLab's online experiments and surveys. These cutting-edge research projects may cover a
wide variety of academic research topics such as how consumers like you behave and react in online settings.
Your participation is vital. As an eLab panel member, you will not only contribute to the creation of new knowledge, but can also influence how
companies actually do business with you.
You must be 18 years or older to join the eLab panel. Membership is available to both domestic and international participants.
Every month eLab holds a random drawing for a cash prize of $250 or more. As a registered panelist, you are eligible for the drawing. Your chance of winning
increases as you participate in our experiments and surveys. Drawings are held the last day of every month. The lucky winners
receive their checks within about 6-8 weeks of the drawing date. Prizes must be claimed within 2 weeks of notification and require completion of a W-9 form
(for U.S. tax residents) or completion of a "Prize Statment" form (for non-U.S. tax residents) which we must provide to the IRS in accordance with
U.S. tax law and university policy. Non-U.S. tax residents will also be contacted by the international tax office to provide further information to facilitate
processing of payments.
Each study completion will add an additional chance in the monthly drawings with one exception - the "Three Strikes" rule. If you choose to not participate in
three consecutive experiments or surveys that we invite you to join, your number of chances in the monthly drawings will be reset back to zero. If set to zero,
you can begin to earn chances again by participating in our research, when you are selected. You can check the current number of chances you have earned by
viewing your profile.
Additionally, if you choose to participate in an eLab experiment or survey, you are also eligible for separate drawings for cash prizes of $100 or more or, in
some cases, for direct compensation. Please note that everyone who participates in this experiment or survey has the same chance of winning in these special drawings,
regardless of how many monthly drawing chances they have earned.Prizes/compensation for each experiment must be claimed within 2 weeks of notification and require
completion of a W-9 form (for U.S. tax residents) or a "Prize Statement" form (for non-U.S. tax residents) which we must provide to the IRS in accordance
with U.S. tax law and university policy. Non-U.S. tax residents will also be contacted by the international tax office to provide further information to facilitate
processing of payments. Any experiment prizes/compensation which remain unclaimed 2 weeks after notification may be awarded to another eligible panelist where applicable.
All payments are issued as a U.S. bank check via mail. We are aware that non-U.S. panelists may incur a processing fee from their bank to cash these checks, but this
is the only option currently available to us that facilitates university regulations. Please also note that payments to non-U.S. tax residents are subject to withholdings
as per U.S. tax laws.
Although the IRS does not require a W-9 to be submitted until compensation reaches $600, Vanderbilt University cannot determine when that limit is reached across all
its departments without certain information being provided to tie that information together. As such,
policy is that this information must be provided by legal U.S. tax residents regardless of the amount of compensation.
In the case of non-U.S. tax residents, the IRS requires that they be identified and appropriate withholdings applied to payments.
All panelist information is confidential, and used for academic research
purposes only, in strict accordance with the eLab Privacy Policy and
Vanderbilt University Institutional Review Board standards.
eLab panel members have complete control over their profiles and participation in the panel through the use of the eLab Panel
registration pages. You may edit your panel profile information at any time and you may permanently opt-out of the eLab panel at any time.
Selection for experiments is based upon current research needs and specified study demographics, however we run a large number of studies with
a wide range of demographic requirements. You may not see an invitation immediately, but that doesn't mean we've forgotten you! Just by virtue
of being an eLab panelist, you continue to be eligible for our monthly prize drawings, regardless of whether or not you have been invited to
any experiments.
Because of the fickle nature of bulk emailing, legitimate, opt-in services such as eLab are sometimes identified improperly as suspected
spammers. If you want to make sure you receive invitations from us, there are several ways to identify us
as a legitimate email source.
Please bear in mind that we will not ever contact you about anything which does not pertain to Vanderbilt-sponsored or affiliated research.
All of our studies fuel higher education initiatives, not for-profit ventures (see: How is my information used?).

Detecting dark matter
The kind of matter and energy we can see and touch – whether it is in the form of atoms and molecules, or heat and light, only forms a tiny proportion of the content of the Universe, only about 5%. Over a quarter is dark matter, which is totally invisible but whose gravitational attraction can be detected; while over two thirds is dark energy, a force that pushes the Universe to expand ever faster.

The Quinnipiac Chamber of Commerce's Holiday House Tour, scheduled for Saturday from 10 a.m., to 4 p.m., is a great chance to peek inside six spectacular homes in North Haven and Wallingford and help two worthy causes at the same time.
The event is sponsored by Fish Window Cleaning, and the houses are sponsored and will be decorated and hosted by several area businesses, including Prudential Connecticut Realty, Quinnipiac Bank, Calcagni Realty/Attorney Lars Edeen, H. Pearce Real Estate, Keller Williams Realty, Harriman Real Estate, Patti Stern of PJ & Company Home Styling, LLC, and Boardman Silversmiths to name a few.
Some agencies will also have the assistance of home stagers/interior designers. Wallingford Flower Shoppe and Forget Me Not Flowers in North Haven will be providing floral arrangements and Home Depot, Lowe's and Kinamor Manufacturing will also be donating items.
Event co-chair Dee Nesti said that about 10 years ago the chamber staged a tulip house tour in the spring. She said this year they decided to do a holiday-themed tour to give local real estate agencies a chance to show off their decorating skills.
"All of the interior of the homes will be beautifully decorated," Nesti said. They range from historic, beautiful homes to grand mansions. We reached out to major real estate agencies and their decotraors and designers are each taking a home – they do the decorating."
The admission price of $20 for all six houses is a great deal, Nesti noted, and the money raised will benefit the chamber, which is a nonprofit.
In addition, a portion of the proceeds will be a scholarship to an art student at one of these high schools: Choate Rosemary, Sheehan, Lyman Hall or North Haven. The chamber asked the art departments at the schools if students would draw the homes and they were inundated with works of art. Nesti said there were so many great portraits of the homes submitted that they will be displayed at Wallingford Library.
The six incredible homes that will be decorated for the holidays are:
- 24 Academy St, Wallingford (The Samuel Lewis Home),
- 6 Stoney Brook Rd, Wallingford,
- 1 Wheatfield Rd, Wallingford,
- 777 Mount Carmel Rd, North Haven,
- 1 Old Tavern Rd, North Haven (The Rising Sun Tavern) and
- 410 Williams Road, Wallingford
On the day of the tour, you can start at any one of the homes (a list of addresses will accompany your tickets). When you get to your first home, you will be greeted by a representative of the sponsoring real estate agency and receive a program for the event. At each home, you will receive a stamp on your program and at the end of the day if you have visited all homes you will be entered into a drawing for a weekend away in New England (place TBD)!
The Wallingford Historical Society will be open that day as well, and will be offering refreshments and tours, Nesti said.
For more information, contact the Quinnipiac Chamber of Commerce at (203) 269-9891. Tickets are $20 per person and are available at the
Quinnipiac Chamber of Commerce _office located at 100 So. Turnpike Road in Wallingford, and the Real Estate Agencies listed above.

The sailing place we went through was called East Islands Excursions (http://www.eastwindcats.com/.) I'm going to plug them because that was the highlight of the trip. For $60 per person you go out on a 4-hour sail; have all the free rum drinks you want (yes, I said free), along with lunch; visit two snorkeling spots, where you can view some coral reefs; and stop at a desert island to explore the beach or go swimming. The staff was very friendly and funny, and it was a great time. On the sail you can also see the Virgin Islands and St. Martin off in the distance. I highly suggest this place as a top to-do on your list.
The sailing place is located in the city of Fajardo, which is about an hour or so east of San Juan. You can rent a car, and they do have a shuttle that picks you up and drops you back at the hotel for $20 a person. If you drive out there, beware the traffic in and out of San Juan. Try leaving in the early morning or late evening. Traffic in and outside of San Juan is horrible.

The full-day trip on the 62' sailing catamaran for $55 per person is a great deal. For $12 more, a van picked us up at our hotel at 8:15am on the dot. We then drove for an hour and a half to the east side of the island, picking up more passengers along the way. The driver was a certified tour guide and he gave an informative commentary on the countryside and mountains-–this is a great way to see some more of the island without renting a car! As a special treat, he even took us off the main road to a cave where archaeologists are reputed to have found some of the oldest remains of the Taíno Indians, the native inhabitants of Puerto Rico.
We arrived at the boat by 10:00am (make reservations ahead of time just to make sure you have a spot) and were soon sailing out to sea. The boat was filled with all kinds of people, natives and tourists, children and adults, making it a safe choice for beginners. After marveling at the view of the El Yunque mountains and the Fajardo coast, we soon anchored at a gorgeous "desert island," where we donned our snorkeling equipment (provided by East Wind), listened to a quick instructional lecture, and were soon swimming with the fish. The beach was lovely too, and some people sunbathed instead. But snorkeling is tiring and everyone got hungry-–good thing too because the lunch buffet was all-you-can-eat and delicious! Sandwiches, pasta salad, and watermelon just hit the spot. The virgin pina coladas tasted incredible and I certainly took advantage of the open bar, drinking about 10 of them over the course of the trip.
The next stop was a deeper reef, where we saw a wider variety of coral and fish, especially blue tanners and parrot fish. Two other snorkeling boats showed up too, so there were a lot of people in the water. The waterslide was great fun once I got tired of snorkeling, but when it was time to begin the sail back to Puerto del Rey, I was ready to leave and we were back at the port by 3:30pm.
This trip is wonderful and I would highly recommend it, especially to beginners. The crew is friendly and knowledgeable, the food delicious, the snorkeling fun. Be sure to bring a towel, sunscreen, and sunglasses. The boat sells underwater cameras, but I would suggest buying your own before you come. And if you start feeling seasick, look to the horizon and breathe deeply.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The option to choose a color is a great feature. What I loved most was the ability to change the format. You can add or remove a course with no problems. Also, if you have more to write in the allotted space...DON'T worry! Divas' will fix it and make it work!!"
"I purchased the washed damsk menu cards and I was very impressed with their quality .The menu cards were a perfect addition to my invitation and escort cads.My entire experience with Paper Diva was wonderful in terms of how nice and patient customer service was. Thank you. Mrs.K"
"I was surprised at how absolutely beautiful these menu cards turned out! The amethyst color was even better in person. It will go perfectly with my wine-themed wedding! The fonts we chose were gorgeous, and the designers were very helpful with their input. This was one of my favorite wedding purchases!! Thank you, also for your amazing customer service!"

I apologise now if I seem a bit dippy but I'm new to all of this
I recently bought an iPhone in the USA which is locked to the AT&T network. My plan was to bring it back to the UK and get it unlocked for O2 pay-as-you-go, however, the iPhone I got is a week 50 so as you all probably know there isn't an unlock available yet
My question is, if I got the TurboSIM, would this unlock the SIM so that I could use it on O2 pay-as-you-go? And also, would it make the phone fully functional and would there be problems with the bootloader 4.6?
Thanks in advance

A still from Katy Perry's "Unconditionally" music video.
Photo: Capitol Records
Katy Perry really is growing up, y'all! In a stark contrast to her bubblegum Candyfornia image of yesteryear, KP has released the music video for "Unconditionally," the second official single off of her Prism album, and it's super mature and gorgeous (just like her!). Where the lyric video for the track was really stripped down and bare, the full-fledged music video is more about beautiful, rich imagery and symbolism which Katy revealed in her MTV First with Iggy Azalea was meant to express that abstract phenomenon of falling in love—and apparently unconditional love also comes with a swagged out closet of designer goods, so sign us up! We were fortunate enough to catch up with Katy's long-time trusted stylist Johnny Wujek to pick his brain about the ogle-worthy wardrobe and its inspiration.

Fare thee well, Calgary. What an internal landmark you now represent.. See you again someday, I'm sure of that. Although the 2 hour customs aero port line of torture & panic didn't leave the best taste as the last experience.. Get employees in those booths, people. Wtf was that? #thedorm #finito! #bittersweet #likemostthings
#thedorm Picture wrap means making goodie bags for the crew, just sad not everyone was there on the last day. :( those that didn't get one, I sowy. You are JUST as loved & appreciated!! Especially sound department. Fuck you guys rule.
We've had #RIPSarah on our slates from the start. So tragic. The Jonesy movement is a MUST. Keep our crews SAFE. Such a shame someone had to die for people to wake up. What else is new though... No more cutting corners, producers. Or you'll be cutting checks for more legal battles over the lives you've risked. #RIPsarah

Quick History: Mies van der Rohe and the Brno Chair
Working with his colleague Lilly Reich, he designed the Villa Tugendhat with an open plan, spaces defined by pale velvet curtains and partitions made of exotic hardwoods. One central partition, called the onyx wall (image 9), was cut so as to best display the natural variegation of the material (which is not actually onyx, but calcium carbonate.) Mies and Reich had workshopped this approach to interior architecture in the pavilion they designed for the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona.
It was for the Barcelona pavilion that the duo debuted the famous chairs that came to be known as the Barcelona chairs. They used these chairs in the Tugendhat house, and also designed cantilevered steel chairs that are now known as the Brno chairs.
The authorship of the Brno chair is somewhat up for grabs. Although Mies is typically credited with their design, Knoll's Albert Pheiffer points out that "Mies did not fully develop any contemporary furniture successfully before or after his collaboration with Reich." In 1930, when Mies became head of the Bauhaus, Reich was appointed a master of furniture design there. So it seems likely that the chairs were largely Reich's design, though of course they were created in the context of her collaboration with Mies, and of the Tugendhat commission.
The other issue of authorship is the tricky history of cantilevered chairs in general. The Dutch architect Mart Stam seems to have been the first to design a cantilevered chair out of tubular steel (image 10). His design apparently inspired Marcel Breuer's famous Wassily chair and Mies's various cantilevered chairs, including the Brno. In fact, Breuer and Stam went to court to determine who had ownership over the patent for the cantilevered chair, and Stam won. It's a little confusing, because the Breuer chair is typically dated to 1925, while the Stam chair is dated to 1926 … but who am I to argue with the German court?
In the photos of the Villa Tugendhat you can see Barcelona chairs and Brno chairs in various materials throughout, some with and some without arm rests (images 1-8).
In 1938, just a few years after the completion of the home, the Tugendhats, who were Jewish, fled Czechoslovakia for Switzerland. The government confiscated the house shortly thereafter, and still owns it; it is now a museum. The same year, 1938, Mies left Germany for the US. Reich stayed in Berlin. She was sent to a concentration camp in 1943 and remained there until the end of the war. She died in 1947.

I love Villa Tugendhat, it really showed that modernism could be luxurious.
I believe Villa Tugendhat was the inspiration for the house described in Simon Mawer's The Glass Room.
Good article, but a correction is necessary:
Brno Chairs always have arms. There are two types: Those with tubular arms/frames, and the latter type with flat-bar arms/frames.
There's an earlier cantilevered chair that he is credited with called the MR Chair - Those came with and without arms, in Dining proportions as depicted in pix 1, 5, 6 & 8 above at the tables and desks - and in lounge proportions in pix 2 & 8 in the living room - as well as adjustable and fixed chaise lounges.
Thanks bepsf, you're totally right. The Brno chair is only visible in pix 1, 3 & 4. The other chairs are MR (with more rounded forms) and Barcelona.
I'd just like to add a bit about modernism in Czechoslovakia during the First Republic (what the era between WWI and WWII was called).
Czechs embraced modernism in a big way, from art, to architecture and all forms of design (one of the biggest and earliest of Picasso's collectors was Czech for example).
With respect to architecture, there is an area in Prague, Pod Baba, where there are beautiful architect-designed modernist villas. These all originally featured architect-designed furniture, most of it custom-made for the individual house.
This is the best English summary I have been able to find of it --
Haven't been able to find any only sources of original interior shots, but I have seen some, and they are fascinating.
Just want to add that if anyone is interested in exploring this (maybe before a trip to Prague), there is a great book available that is in English:
Also, this article explains the role of Bata in the development of modernism in the First Republic, and provides a context for the Villa Tugenhat:
More shots of the Baba Estate in Prague (from the blog's author: "i'd never seen so many modernist houses in such a small area. hogs heaven.")
You know what would be helpful in these history articles? Some pronunciation help. I can't be the only one who doesn't know how to say Brno :)
Yay–Brno, my hometown! I love seeing that the Villa made it into the limelight. I had the opportunity to take a tour when I was back visiting and distinctly remember the amount of detail Van der Rohe went through to make the project impactful. He took seasons into account, and aligned the house so that the winter sun would hit the Onyx wall and illuminate the otherwise darker part of the room (since the wall was somewhat translucent). Brilliant & gorgeous.
@akay— in Czech, every letter is pronounced and nothing is silent. The closest guide to pronunciation I can recommend is Spanish (primarily for the vowels and rolling of the r's). So in this case, Brno would be like saying Brr-no
"which is not actually onyx, but calcium carbonate." Otherwise known as marble.
@akay, and now that you have mastered the pronunciation of Brno try saying "sprcha".
sprcha 'spurcha'?
sprcha 'spurcha'?
sprcha 'spurcha'?
I enjoyed Mawer's book this summer - and a wonderful diversion it is.

An amusement attendant is responsible for the operation of rides, maintenance and safety inspection of rides at theme parks and attractions. It is a popular choice as a seasonal or part-time job. Attendants can work together or alone to operate a ride, but will interact with people of all ages who attend the attraction or ride. They may also run booths, which range from selling concessions to managing small games and prizes.
Sokanu matches you to one of over 500 careers by analyzing your personality, interests, and needs in life. Take the free assessment now to see your top career recommendations!
The duties of an amusement attendant will vary depending upon the type of ride, attraction or booth. Some attendants are trained to work at only one location for the entire shift, while others may be trained to work at several or all locations at the park.
Some general duties that an attendant has are:
Attendants may also use the following tools and equipment:
Attendants must be comfortable with interacting with strangers. A clear speaking voice is required for patrons who may be inattentive or hard of hearing. In addition, an attendant must have excellent hearing skills to pick up the speech of different people that may be arriving from different parts of the country or even the world. There is a lot of customer interaction, and an attendant must be able to deal with an unruly patron should the situation arise. Sometimes attendants will operate a booth or ride together, and cooperation is needed in order to run the operation smoothly. Attendants should be able to handle stress well as amusement parks tend to get busy, especially during vacation times.
They must be able to stand for long periods of time and will often interact with customers. An energetic and outgoing person is usually the best for this job. Occasionally attendants may be asked to carry heavy objects such as sporting equipment, or perform physical activities to operate rides or handle materials. Walking may be required for travelling between locations on the job. There is a lot of sound and noise, which may be distracting, and attendants usually have to stay outside for long periods of time. There are irregular office hours and weekend work.
There are no specific guidelines for this position. Typically, a high school diploma or equivalent is enough to become an amusement attendant. Most of the required skills will be learned in job training, usually provided by another employee.
However, there are opportunities for special interests at certain theme parks. Some courses that may be useful to take include business, hospitality, theater arts, and photography. Most of these courses can be taken at local junior or four-year colleges, as well as at local community centers.
Amusement attendants are found at major theme parks around the country, such as Six Flags, Disneyland, Disneyworld, Legoland, Orlando Studios, Seaworld. They are also found at recreational facilities such as ski resorts or water parks.
These places are usually packed with patrons, making for a very busy workplace. There is also a lot of staff to accommodate for patrons and their special needs, as well as directing and managing large crowds.
Amusement attendants typically receive a little bit higher than minimum wage, around $7-$10 dollars an hour, which leads to roughly $18,000-$20,000 a year. Keep in mind that this salary will vary if the job is seasonal. Some theme parks are open all year, while others are only open during certain seasons, such as the winter or summer. Attendants who are specialists, such as theme park photographers or performers, have the potential to earn more than the standard wage. However, this is a very rare case.

If you get the breakdowns, how do you go about submitting to them?
Most of them say submit electronically...So should I....
1. Contact my agent that I freelance with and tell them that I noticed a role that would be good for me.
2. Email casting directors directly if I find their email on imdbpro?
3. Hard copy submission if the audition date is at least 4-7 days away?
|Al Pacino
I guess any of those, but none of them are likely to work. No. 1 might piss off your agent. No. 2 will probably piss the CDs off. And by the time you get the breakdown, the audition slots have probably already been determined.
|Marlon Brando
Hard copies will get shredded by major CDs.
Emailing them will piss the CDs off. They RARELY give out their emails for a good reason. If they do, then it's an email they ONLY check in their FREE time. Note: FREE time, something they don't always have.
|Jack Nicholson
You can email an agent that you're freelancing with IF you have something worthwhile to add.
Hey - I saw that breakdown for BLAH BLAH that John Smith is casting. I thought I would be pretty good for the role of Joe. John Smith knows me pretty well, I took his on-camera class last month and he gave me great feedback.
Those are the kinds of emails agents don't mind.
If you just say "Hey I saw this breakdown and I'm right for it", then you're doing their job and they're going to get annoyed.
|Harrison Ford
Are you referring to breakdowns you see on public casting sites, or breakdowns that are not open to the public that you obtain privately through another source?
"If you can dream, you can do. Making it happen is up to you!"
|Marlon Brando
Yeah, are you getting illegally obtained breakdowns? Or are you only looking at the crappy ones that the public sees?
|Sean Penn
They may be illegal. who is to tell, I don;t know...but yes the good ones
|Marlon Brando
Because the CDs ONLY release those to agents and only those agents who are allowed to see them can submit electronically.
With pirated breakdowns, you either use them as expensive toilet paper or you go to their offices IN PERSON as soon as you get the breakdown and be prepared to get A LOT of "GTFO of my office!"
Also, are you actually in a real market? No LA or NY CD is going to respond to someone from Wyoming.
|Al Pacino
How do you get them? A hardcopy pdf at the end of the day or the next day? Too late for TV. For films, you have to get the CD's address and then usually somehow get on a studio lot.
|Johnny Depp
So basically what all you guys are saying is that its pointless to get the illegal breakdowns and submit to them. I know a bunch of actors that do this, some spend a lot of ca$h for them too.
I guess it can't hurt to check 'em out just to know what's casting and who's casting what though.
|Russell Crowe
I was getting the "good" breaks via e-mail until dude got popped by the popo for it last summer. another guy I've known personally for years did time in county for doing the same thing. That said, if you got a good source, generally it's e-mail first thing in the morning. then you use mobile mailbox to have it messengered to the casting offices same day. I think mobile mailbox is still around..and, no, I don't feel bad about it. Those actors access dudes financially rape you every time you want to upload your reel..even their shitty iphone app is overpriced. Fuck 'em. I need to work.
|Marlon Brando
What you do with pirated breakdowns is as soon as you get them, you actually go to the CD's office and give your stuff to the actual CD, NOT the assistant who works the front desk and is usually ordered to shred any unsolicited headshots. You'll get a lot of "GTFO out of my office", but some might be nice enough to let you audition. You better bring it if they let you!
But the difficulty with going to their office is it's either on a studio lot or the listed address is the CSA mailbox which they hardly check. Only a actually give out their real address, but if you know it, you can try.
|Marlon Brando
*Only a few actually give out their real addresses.
Would love to know more thoughts on this
|Marlon Brando
Another way of using pirated breakdowns is if you do get them, you can also use it in better targeting CD workshops. Say you get them in the morning and see something by Jeff Greenberg for Modern Family that is totally right for you. An lo and behold, Jeff happens to be doing a casting director workshop later that night. Now is your chance to wow him and maybe he might bring you in. DON'T go to the workshop and say "I heard you're casting this role..." Pretend you don't know and just do a good job.
Another way I use them, is if I see something and I recently got a 4 or 5 from the same CD, I tell my agent that I've gotten 4s and 5s from that CD. BE SURE TO CHECK IF YOUR AGENT IS COOL WITH THIS! SOME AGENTS AREN'T!

Foldable toolkits for optimizing your work space
Lifehacker has written an interesting article about foldable toolkits that are available for better organizing work benches and the like. They are not just handy for keeping things neat but they force the user to keep their most important tools most easily accessible. The article basically goes over the main benefits and features of these boxes.
According to the article, they are great if you live somewhere there isn't alot of space. They can also be great if your need to be able to get your hands on your most handy tools from anywhere. They enable you to also carry them everywhere as the box is so portable. They unfold at will any place and at any time.
However, it's more than just a tool box that's really portable. It folds out to become a work bench as well. You can actually create a bench top with it to be able to put your work on. In addition, as the tools are displayed in front of you in the box, you have easy access to them while you work away.
The article provides a forewarning to would be buyers as well. Apparently, the box is highly customizable. It requires the user to put it together and customize to their requirements. It sounds like it's definitely one for the technically minded and those who can work though these kinds of problems effectively.
Gmail solves the reply all email length issue
Another article in Lifehacker this week presents one of Google gmails newest features. It solves the problem of getting into email threads that become too long because other people in the thread continuously use the 'reply all' button. Eventually, people in the group email start having their own back and forth replies. After a while some of the thread or worse a lot of it can become irrelevant to you. Despite this, and very annoyingly, you'll still recieve the emails going back and forth.
Gmail has a feature that deals with this. Funnily enough, its not a new one. It's their email mute button. It's been around for a long time but goes under the radar a lot. Life hackers post is meant to be a timely and helpful reminder about this aspect of Gmail.
They finish with another reminder that the same can be achieved in outlook. All you have to do is hit the 'ignore' button and all will be resolved.
A great way to improve computer security
Lifehacker has a post near the top of their recent posts at the moment about using NFC tags to improve computer security. We thought we'd summarize it for you as we think it's a handy tick.
Near field communication or NFC is a nifty computer trick. It can do a number of handy things. One of them is to lock and unsecure the computer. Essentially, you get a tag and a scanner is hooked up to the computer. When you swipe it the computer password can be automaically entered and bam your computer is secure while you go off and do something. When you come back to do your work all you need to do is reswipe and hit enter and off to work again. This saves you from having to switch the computer off and reboot it just to go to the toilet while your at the library or somewhere similar.
Setting it up is pretty technical. Thankfully, Lifehacker have provided an install video which may be viewed here. It requires you to use some tools. These are an Arduino Leonardo and and NFC shield, tags and a iron that solders wires.
Yes, it may seem obvious, why couldn't I simply enter the password and reenter manually? Well this one is for the truly geeky at heart. Some people just love the idea of swiping quicly to lock and unlock automatically. It's also recommended by the author is a great way of learning how to put together gadgetry with a soldering iron and the tools mentioned herein. Again, check out the video here.

As to be expected.
Is there anything I can do?
Just try and stay out of the nurses' way, dear.
10 a.m.:
How we doing, Kate, coming along?
Coming along? Why, do you have somewhere to be? Maybe you'd like to run out and play a game of squash like your grandfather did while your father was being born?
Sorry, I didn't mean to …
No, seriously, if you have to be somewhere we can put this off until you get back, no bother, really.
You, you're being sarcastic … aren't you?

All seats will be assigned after Sept. 1 through our new Select-A-Seat process. Please see information below on that new process.
Select-a-Seat Information
Butler Men's Basketball season ticket holders will have a new option available for seat selection at Hinkle Fieldhouse for the 2013-2014 season. In early fall, we will host our first season ticket holder "Select-a-Seat" event. Through this new program, fans will be assigned a day and time, based on their Priority Point total PER SEAT, to come to Hinkle Fieldhouse and select their seat location for the 2013-2014 season. This process allows fans the freedom to look at different available seating options and choose the seats that best suit their needs, while adhering to the Priority Points System. Similar seat selection events are used prominently throughout college athletics. We believe that this method of seat selection is the most authentic and transparent use of the Priority Points System and also grants fans more freedom than ever in choosing great seats in Hinkle Fieldhouse.
In mid-September, fans will receive notification of their assigned date and time to come to Hinkle Fieldhouse and select seats for the 2013-2014 season. Over two weeks in late September/early October, fans will come to Hinkle Fieldhouse at their assigned time and select seats. Available seats will be clearly labeled. Fans who are unable to attend at their assigned time will be allowed to send a substitute in their place or give written notification that specifies their seating preferences. At the fan's assigned selection time, the Butler Athletic administration will assign seats to the fan as close to their written preferences as possible.
Seating Options
Below is a seating chart for men's basketball games at Hinkle Fieldhouse. We offer four different category of seats – courtside, lower level, upper level and "High 5". For season ticket orders, our courtside and lower level seats are in very high demand and will likely have more requests than seats by the September 1 deadline. We encourage any fan to contact the following staff members for questions about Priority Point totals for the desired locations:
Courtside – Associate AD Mike Freeman at 317-940-6452
Lower Level – Ticket Manager Matt Harris at 317-940-DOGS
Away Games
Butler does not generally receive an allotment of tickets for away games. Unless otherwise publicized, we will not typically have an away game sale for our alumni or general public. We encourage you to contact the host school for any availability they may have.
