- Deckard Cain(src)
Cydaea, the Maiden of Lust was a powerful demon, and a favorite lieutenant and concubine of Azmodan. She is also a member of the Sin Lieutenants.
Cydaea was a consort of the Lord of Sin himself and one of his dreaded sin lieutenants. Like the Maiden of Anguish, Andariel, Cydaea held dominion over a flock of succubi, calling them her "daughters".
When Azmodan launched his assault on Bastion's Keep, Cydaea remained behind. However, when a band of heroes led by Tyrael thwarted the demonic incursion, Azmodan called upon his consort to defend the vile Sin Hearts that powered his legions from within Arreat Crater.
However, like many other minions of Sin, Cydaea proved unable to stop the heroes. She was slain in the depths of Arreat Crater, along with the sin hearts she was supposed to protect.[1]
In-gameEditCydaea appears as a minor boss in the Arreat Crater of Act III in Diablo III, appearing when the Nephalem destroys the Siegebreaker Assault Beast and proceeds to make progress towards the Heart of Sin. Cydaea will taunt the heroes seductively during their journey through the crater, dangling from a string of silk.
The player fights her twice, both times when a Sin Heart is within heroes' reach. Both battles take place at a C-shaped arena, starting as soon as player approaches the Heart. The first battle is more like a gear-check, as she retreats immediately after receiving 50% damage, leaving the matter to her daughters and ghoul thralls.
The second and final battle at the Heart of the Cursed is more complicated. Cydaea is the fastest boss in game, and often runs away from the player, forcing them to fight her spiderlings instead. She uses the following abilities:
- Poison Spit: a three-missile ranged attack dealing low Poison damage.
- Impaling Limb: a melee attack, dealing average Physical damage.
- Spiderling Pit: creates a pool of toxins on the ground which lasts for 15-30 seconds. From this pool, Spiderlings pour through, attacking the heroes, and the toxin itself is dealing low Poison damage every second. The Spiderlings are Cydaea's main weapon, as they block path and deal slightly damaging, but quick and very numerous attacks. Each Pit spawns Spiderlings at increasing rate. The last Spiderling from each Pit drops a guaranteed Health Globe upon death. As they have very low health, AoE damage and fair amount of Life per Kill are advised to deal with them.
- Net Toss: Cydaea covers a 10-yard range area with a web that slows players' movement by 60%. This web holds for 15 seconds.
- Silkweb: Cydaea retreats to the ceiling for 20 seconds, getting out of the heroes' reach. While she is up there, she can only use her Spiderling Pit ability, but that one has no cooldown.
- Power from Pain: as her health drops, Cydaea recharges all of her cooldowns at increasing rate, while her taunting phrases become more and more threatening (as opposed to originally mocking ones).
On Torment difficulty, she has a soft 4 minute enrage timer. Once it expires, she loses a cooldown of her Spiderling Pit and Net Toss abilities, overwhelming the players with the endless swarm of minions if not killed quickly. [1]
Note: Due to mechanics of her fight, it is actually the easiest boss in game for builds that rely on gaining power from killing blows (Archon, Grave Injustice, Dominance, Rampage etc.).
- Cydaea was originally called the "Mistress of Pain."[2] The character was removed during development, but was added back in due to positive reviews from the fanbase. Her title was changed because it would link her to Duriel instead of Azmodan.[citation needed]
- Cydaea's namesake and physical form harken to the Mistress of Torment and nerubians respectively, both of Warcraft.
- During Blizzcon '09, the Costume Contest was won by Lorraine Torres, dressed as Cydaea[3]
- She was voiced by Claudia Black.
- Her master's name is a variation of Asmodeus, who happens to be a demon of lust. This would also explain why her character serves to be the Lord of Sin's consort.
- Her concept is also similar to that of Jorogumo, the Japanese "Whore Spider" spirits of folklore.
- She has been considered as a playable character for Heroes of the Storm.[4]

9:30am Monday 7th July 2014
By David Pritchard
MICHAEL Appleton officially starts work at Oxford United today, with the man who made the appointment comparing him to Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers.
The new head coach will meet the players for the first time this morning to end a whirlwind few days at the club.
The move to sack Gary Waddock and bring in the former Portsmouth and Blackburn boss on Friday took everyone by surprise.
It was part of a shake-up at boardroom level with the arrival of Darryl Eales as chairman and Mark Ashton as chief executive.
Ashton has known Appleton for more than a decade and sees similarities between the 38-year-old and the previous manager he hired, during his time at Watford.
He said: "I look for a specific DNA in managers and coaches.
"The last manager I appointed was a gentleman called Brendan Rodgers.
"He was a coach at Chelsea who no-one had heard of at that point, but I saw something in Brendan and he has exceeded everyone's expectations.
"If Michael gets anywhere near that we'll have all done very well.
"I see that hunger, determination and professionalism and he has been educated in that way."
Appleton will need to hit the ground running, with the season less than five weeks away and United's first pre-season game, at Farnborough, this Saturday.
He will be the fourth person picking the side in less than six months, with caretaker manager Mickey Lewis and Waddock following on from Chris Wilder's exit in January.
United are in need of some stability, with Appleton in a similar position.
He will be remembered by many for stints at Blackpool and Blackburn, which both lasted just over two months, following on from a year at a financially troubled Portsmouth.
Ashton believes Appleton has been unfortunate and is confident this will not be a short-term arrangement.
He said: "Michael's taken on some challenging roles.
"His words to me were 'yes the next club I go to is vitally important, but more important are the people'.
"With myself, Darryl and Ian (Lenagan) he sees stability and he's adamant he wants to be somewhere he is successful for a long period of time, so we think the fit is right."
The pair first met at West Brom, when Appleton was a player and Ashton, a former goalkeeper at the Hawthorns, was running the club's centre of excellence.
When injury cut short the midfielder's career, the club offered him the chance to work in the coaching system.
Ashton said: "What was clear was as a player he was a natural leader.
"We brought him in and he started with the under 13s and progressed through to assistant manager to Roy Hodgson.
"He was educated in a way of working with a group of people who allow the first team head coach to focus on purely winning football matches.
"He understands that and hence we felt the fit was perfect."

Simon Cowell
Television personality###Owner, SYCO Entertainment
- Birthday7th Oct, 59
- Birth PlaceUnited Kingdom
- Marital statusSingle
"Known to millions as the surly British judge on American Idol, Simon Cowell is known for his harsh criticism of would-be pop stars.
He started his career at EMI Music Publishing, where he worked his way up from the assistant to becoming an A&R representative to a record producer. After two unsuccessful attempts to launch his own label, Cowell began working as an A&R consultant for BMG. Powell went on to sign a number of successful bands for the label and pioneered some of the biggest selling hits in the industry, including bands 'Five' and 'Westlife'. He also started working on other music-based projects like the extremely popular British show Pop Idol, which reincarnated in America as American Idol. He earned a staggering $52 million in a single year in 2006, thanks to the global success of the show. Simon had now become a celebrity in his own right, serving as a judge on both the UK and US version of Pop Idol. His sardonic and straight-talking style has earned him various nicknames, including Mr Nasty and Judge Dread. The entertainment mogul is also credited with a number of other competitive reality TV series like America's Got Talent, American Inventor and The X Factor. Cowell is currently appearing on the US version of the 'X-Factor' amid controversy that he allegedly 'sacked' Cheryl Cole as a judge on the show due to her accent. Apart from having a great ear for hits and knack of spotting future stars, Simon Cowell also has great affinity for his cars which include the likes of Ferrari, Bentley, Mini Cooper and a Rolls Royce Phantom.
I do a couple of hundred press-ups a day but I haven't been to a gym in years
I don't think I can do this anymore
I have always hated celebrities lecturing people on politics. So forgive me. But I am passionate about this country. I am equally passionate about the potential of the people who live here
I think that by ignoring the show you're ignoring the audience who put you there
If you've got a big mouth and you're controversial, you're going to get attention
My attitude is, if someone's going to criticize me, tell me to my face
"If your lifeguard duties were as good as your singing, a lot of people would be drowning.
Not everybody is perfect, and I don't think we should be looking for perfect people
If you've got a big mouth and you're controversial, you're going to get attention.
You've got quite a good voice, the problem I have is this looks to me like 10 years ago
The end of the animal trade would leave more time to trap or beat to death pop star wannabes
Very simple. I'm putting up the money, and I also have ears
You know Paula, who I couldn't look at the beginning of the series... I love her to death now. I hate to admit it but I do
If I tape an 11-hour day, guess which parts end up on air. Not the bits when I'm pleasant, but the parts when I'm obnoxious.
Did you know?
- Cowell is a supporter of the Conservative political party.
- Simon dropped out of school at the age of 16.
- One of the favourite brand of cigarettes he likes is Kool.
- He recognises 'Christina Aguilera' Beautiful as best pop song ever made
- Simon has attended near about 16 schools because of bad behaviour

Simon Cowell Yachts (1)
Slipstream yacht
Simon Cowell spent his 2010 summer vacations relaxing in the super-yacht Slipstream, now known as Silverdream. Simon chartered the yacht for an estimated $900,000, which also provided him with a private chef. Manufactured by one of the prestigious luxury yachtmakers, CMN Shipyards, it was launched in 2009 and features awad winning Andrew Winch designs.
Features: Largest of all the CMN's yachts, Slipstream's sun deck has got a completely new look with spa, sun pads, bar with barbecue and alfresco dining area all placed conveniently making it great for partying and dining. With over 500 square meter of living room and 200 meters of exterior deck area, the yacht has plenty of space to lounge around. Furthermore, the yacht comes equipped with a roof-thumping hi-fi sound and video system that also has video on demand as well as a satellite communications center. Other than this, the 196 ft also has an observation lounge with panoramic views, gym and a sky lounge with a retractable roof.
Accomodations: Slipstream has room for accommodating up to 14 guests in it's one duplex owner's suite, one VIP cabin and five guests cabins.
Specs: At a cruising speed of 15 knots and maximum speed of 17 knots, the yacht is certainly not the fastest out there. But with a range of 5,000 nautical miles, the yacht still is your best bet for long and quite gratifying rides over the seas.
Charter Rates: However, all is not lost for those who do not have a cash cow (read American Idol) like Cowell at their disposal. The 60 metre (196 ft) motor yacht can also be had for a sum of $450,000 for a week minus some of the luxuries.

Simon Cowell Hobbies (3)
Spying on his neighbours
Music mogul Simon Cowell admittedly has a strange hobby; spying on his neighbors.He developed this peculiar habit after watching the 1979 movie 10, in which actor Dudley Moore's character snoops on a nearby resident. Cowell has even installed a telescope in the kitchen of his spanking new Los Angeles mansion. Once Simon says that 'It's great fun. I just like to keep an eye on what is happening'
Eating Out
Simon has proudly admitted to his love of eating out and considers the huge kitchens in his luxurious mansions as 'irrelevant'. As a result he takes to the world's finest restaurants while globetrotting for business. His favorite haunts in London are the Ivy, Mr Chow, the Wolseley, Scalini's in Knightsbridge and Cipriani. When working out from his secondary residence at LA, he prefers to eat at his favorite local restaurant, Ago, which is co-owned by Robert Din Niro and Harvey Weinstein.
Jet Skiing
Jet skiing is one of the favorite pastime of Simon Cowell. Whenever he is in the Caribbean for holidays he lets his hair down for some jet setting on water. Dressed in a pair of loose-fitting cotton shorts, sunglasses and a life jacket, Simon is having a merry time Jet skiing and catching sun at the beaches of Barbados.
Simon Cowell Autos and Cars (8)
Bentley Azure
The star owns a black shiny Bentley convertible
Ultra luxurious
Bugatti Veyron
The X Factor judge owns probably the fastest set of wheels on offer in the form of Bugatti Veyron which surely turns heads if not for its breathtaking speed then its awe-inspiring beauty
Black dashboard
Bugatti Veyron
Rolls-Royce Phantom
Few can match the luxury and opulence which a Phantom offers. In terms of comfort it's second to none. Rightly, the music magnate owns the godfather of all cars.
Classic interiors
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
Lamborghini is one car that every super rich has hence its Simon is one of the proud owner of Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. Decked in yellow color and has 5-litre V10 engine, enabling a top speed of 193mph. The star bought this car for £133k.
Luxury sports car interiors
Ferrari 458 Italia
The television executive owns a £175,000 Ferrari 458 Italia, which is eminent for being one of the finest super-cars from Ferrari. The exclusive car became Simon's adorable asset after he joined a three-year waiting list to get it. Equipped with a 4.5 liter V8 engine delivering high power ranges, the car features a top speed of 202mph and easily attains 0-62mph in mere 3.4 seconds. Italia's black shiny exteriors make a commanding on road presence while its spacious interiors offer ample space to enjoy the comfy ride
Ferrari 458 Italia
Ferrari motors
The eminent TV personality owns a three-wheeled Carver, which is rather a strange addition to the multi-millionaire's luxurious car collection comprising Bugatti Veyron and Rolls Royces. Normally spotted driving luxurious cars featuring lavish interiors and shiny exteriors, Simon Cowell's choice for going for a Silver color Carver certainly seems strange. Petite in size and odd in shape, the bizarre-looking Carver looks extremely futuristic in terms of style. The tilting three-wheeled vehicle makes use of an exclusive "Automatic balancing technology" to balance the passenger section under all sorts of conditions.
Brabus Smart convertible
The big-time host of X Factor definitely gets a kick out of driving unusual cars one must say! An interesting member of his fleet of cars is the smallest car in the world - the Brabus Smart. Colored black on black and loaded with alcantara interiors that were personally designed by the judge, the car is the first among a limited edition of 120 vehicles. With acceleration which takes it from 0-100 km/h under 9 seconds and a top speed which would shame a Honda Civic, the Smart RS-L arrives with a high quality leather interior, tinted windows, ten LED puddle-lights, a Project-Kahn leather keychain and a carbon-fiber umbrella.
Simon Cowell is looking for sale of his Brabus Smart convertible car.
1932 Ford V8 Mode B
With a fleet of cars at his disposal, Simon Cowell, judge at X Factor, seemed to make merry in his unique V8 vehicle - the 1932 Ford Hot Rod! Also called the Mode B, the car which would often be defined as a jalopy is surprisingly bright and sprightly in black and red. An extreme rarity except in auto shows, the Hot Rod was once a common sight on the roads and one of the most popular vehicles of its era. It is also one of the most sought-after collectibles of the automobile world today.
The car was specially built and customized by Galpin Auto Sports (G.A.S) based in Beverly Hills. And it has a special place in Cowell's heart as he chose to ride in it ahead of the Rolls Royce Phantom, Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Azure convertible which he also owns. In fact, he spoke of this love when he tweeted about it exclaiming that it 'glowed in the dark'! The vintage classic with its huge front grille, insect-eye like headlamps and unique body shape is sure to gather rolling eyeballs as it passes through the streets of Beverly Hills where Simon takes it out for a drive.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — German automaker Volkswagen on Wednesday flipped the on switch for a new solar park at its Tennessee assembly plant.
The 33-acre installation next to the Chattanooga plant has a capacity to produce more than 13 gigawatt hours of electricity per year. That's the equivalent of the amount of energy used by 1,200 area homes each year, according to Volkswagen.
"We are proud to power up the biggest solar park of any car manufacturer in North America today," Frank Fischer, the chairman and CEO of VW's Chattanooga operations, plant said in a release.
The new solar park will meet about 12.5 percent of the plant's electricity needs during full production, and will power all of its operations during off-peak periods. Volkswagen will consume all of the electricity produced by the park, unlike a more common arrangement where electricity is sold back to utilities.
The Chattanooga plant in 2011 became the first auto plant in the world to receive certification for Platinum Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design by the U.S. Green Building Council. The LEED certification process looks at factors including sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality and innovation in operations.
The solar park is owned and operated by Silicon Ranch, a company run by aids to former Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen, who played a key role in persuading Volkswagen to select the site for the assembly plant. VW will buy the power under a 20-year purchasing agreement.
Bredesen raised some eyebrows when he decided to invest in the venture founded by Matt Kisber and Reagan Farr, his former economic development and revenue commissioners before the Democrat left office in 2011.
Kisber, the president and CEO of Silicon Ranch, said the park signals "a new era in manufacturing."
"The scope of this solar park and the breadth of how much of the sun's energy will be harnessed here will most certainly have a powerful and lasting positive impact on both our environment and our economy," he said.
Persuading Volkswagen to build the $1 billion auto plant in Chattanooga was the crowning achievement of the Bredesen administration's economic development strategy. A subsequent focus on the green energy sector has been far more bumpy, as two companies building Tennessee plants to make a compound used in solar energy panels have recently put the brakes on production.
Hemlock Semiconductor announced last week that it was laying off 300 of 400 employees at its $1.2 billion plant in Clarksville, while Wacker Chemie announced it was delaying completion of its $1.5 billion Bradley County plant by 18 months because of high inventory and weak demand pushing down prices for silicon wafers.

How can you use your technology and social media skills to help NGOs during emergencies? All you need is a computer and Internet access.
CrisisCommons.org is a Volunteer Technical Community (VTC) made up of a growing group of technical, project manager, emergency planner and social media knowledge workers. After the earthquake in Haiti, cities around North America and the UK started CrisisCamp (Haiti) in their locations to volunteer their time to "help the helpers". They are using social media tools to crowdsource collaboration on various projects from software development to opensource mapping to social media translation – work that is new and evolving every minute. Heather, Brian, Rachel and others from CrisisCommons (Toronto) will be addressing the question how can technology and knowledge workers volunteer their skills with one click of a mouse.

When we at Insider Monkey look at stocks, we primarily do so from a value perspective. We do keep concepts like market sentiment and branding in mind, but we mostly use those factors to mentally adjust how appropriate the relative value of a stock is. Value analysis focuses on stocks trading at a low level relative to their trailing earnings (using trailing earnings as a neutral to conservative estimate of future earnings, which is what actually determines the appropriate value of a company's equity) or, in the case of some sectors or industries, the book value of the company's equity.
Of course, the theory that trailing earnings are a conservative estimate of future earnings works best when the company has been showing growth in revenue and/or earnings, so that is also something to look for. Here are five stocks from the financial sector that we think value investors should be considering:
American International Group Inc was the most widely owned stock out of the investors we track in the fourth quarter of 2012, surpassing Apple (See more of the most popular stocks among hedge funds). While the smart money likes AIG, the stock is under-owned by mutual funds, who have been slower to forget the company's troubles during the financial crisis. Currently AIG trades at only about 60% of the book value of its equity, so in theory the downside to buying the stock should be limited. We would think a P/B ratio of 0.7 to 0.8 would be more appropriate.
When we look at the most popular financial stocks among hedge funds, a number of the top slots are taken up by megabanks (find financial stocks that hedge funds love). Some of these we're not as comfortable with because their recent performances haven't been good, so the value is dependent on improvements in the financials. JPMorgan Chase , however, boasts a trailing earnings multiple of 9 and a P/B ratio of 0.9. In addition, the company seems quite healthy with a 53% increase in net income in the fourth quarter of 2012 versus a year earlier. A dividend yield of over 3% is also a plus as it serves to return cash to shareholders.
Big banks are hogging all the attention of value investors (and the anti-finance crowd), but there's a good selection of cheap regional banks as well. Regions Financial , which serves the southern and parts of the midwestern United States, has climbed to a market capitalization of over $11 billion in the last year, so it's a bona fide large cap. It trades at a significant discount to the book value of its equity with a P/B ratio of 0.8, and its earnings multiples are low in absolute terms (and only slightly above what we see at the more stable megabanks such as JPMorgan Chase).
Credit card stocks like Visa have been solid performers in the last year, but that company looks a bit pricey at 20 times forward earnings estimates. While Discover Financial Services doesn't have Visa's brand power, its P/E ratios, both on a trailing basis and for the fiscal year ending in November 2014, are both 10. With Discover being that much cheaper than its larger peer, and with revenue and earnings both up moderately in its most recent quarterly report compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year, we think it meets all the criteria for a prospective value stock.
Capital One rounds out our list of intriguing financial stocks. Capital One combines a bank holding company and a credit card business. It too carries a moderate discount to book value. Though earnings per share did decline in 2012 as the company issued shares, this looks to have been caused primarily by M&A-related charges. Even if we allow those charges to hit earnings for the year, Capital One trades at only 9 times trailing earnings; analyst expectations for growth over the next several years imply a five-year PEG ratio of 0.9.

The location is pivotal to this property. It is right in the middle of the island. There is nothing inaccessible to you. It is close enough to the action and night life while still being far enough away to be a cozy location. The view of the water and the calming sound of the canal really put you at ease. The island itself is what really hooks you. When you go to a restaurant and the bartender or waitress is very friendly, it isn't because they are pretending to get a good tip, it is because they are truly happy. The island has an energy about it that you can feel with the locals. It is very easy to slip onto island time. And the people that live and work there really do make you feel like you have been there forever. If you lived in a place like that year round you would be smiling all the time too!
The more unique feature of this home is the pool area. It is like having your own resort to yourself. The Tiki bar is the best part of the house. It has a crank lift that raises the half wall revealing the hand made Tiki bar and flat screen TV on the wall.
The location is in the center of Fort Myers Beach with easy access to all the amenities the island has to offer. Charlies Boat House is right at the end of the street and is known for the best steak around with a salad bar that has an endless assortment of options. Also, when the late afternoon comes around make sure you walk down the street to the Outrigger Tiki Bar and be there for the nightly blowing of the Conch Shell sunset tradition. Another great location for dinner is the Holiday Inn restaurant. Don't knock it till you try it. The restaurant is run by pinchers crab shack and on the weekends they usually have great live bands varying from reggae to rock. The food is amazing and the view of the beach is sublime. The Holiday Inn restaurant is a well kept secret, and if you make your way there try the grouper tacos!

Igor Movie Review
In the country of Malaria, young Igor (John Cusack) longs to be a mad scientist. Every year, the grim, gloomy nation holds a competition to see who can invent the most horrific item. The winning design is then used by King Malbert (Jay Leno) to blackmail the rest of the world into filling the kingdom's coffers. Typically, Dr. Schadenfreude (Eddie Izzard) steals the best idea -- with the help of his girlfriend Jacyln (Jennifer Coolidge) -- and takes all the glory. But this time, things are a little unusual. The best invention turns out to be Igor's: a gargantuan fiend named Eva (Molly Shannon) who fancies herself an actress. With the help of his self-made companions Brain (Sean Hayes) and Scamper (Steve Buscemi), our hero must convince the creature that she's truly evil, or lose a chance at his dream once and for all.
At first, Igor establishes some very clever macabre mythology. The "born into servitude" angle, along with the entire sidekick school and master/servant dynamic does a good job of establishing the odds against our hero. Cusack's voice fits the demands of the role perfectly, since we are supposed to see humor and warmth within this persecuted pawn's deformed façade. In fact, almost all the voice work is excellent, avoiding the stunt casting confines of the genre while providing layers of instant likeability. Everything here has a Tim Burton meets Mad Monster Party vibe, with some outlandish gallows humor thrown in for good measure (Buscemi plays an undead rabbit with a death wish, unable to kill himself -- no matter how hard he tries -- thanks to Igor's immorality potion). Add in the stylized look, and you have a weirdly idiosyncratic entertainment.
Where things go a bit wonky is in the introduction of Eva. More sideshow attraction than sinister creature, this wannabe Streep with mismatched body parts is all stereotypes and drama queen preening. Her egotistical diva-dom grows old very quickly, as does her obsession with a certain little orphan's Broadway musical. Izzard's Schadenfreude is equally irritating, the talented UK comic unable to do much with such a decidedly one note villain. Instead of being evil and intriguing, he's just pompous and rather prissy, like Lost in Space's Dr. Smith without the alliteration. His last act attempt to turn Eva evil (and thus win the contest) is so anticlimactic that you wonder what all the fuss was about. The Annie-inspired fight to the death also underperforms. It's more high concept than hilarious.
Still, by avoiding the standard anthropomorphized animals and oh-too-clever pop culture references, Igor ends up winning us over. The design elements are often breathtaking, and Leondis truly understands the narrative's goofy Goth needs. It doesn't matter that McKenna's script often feels as superficial as the TV series he's best known for (American Dad) or that not enough time is taken with the intriguing ancillary aspects of Malaria. For a format that frequently flails about aimlessly, this CG spookshow is an adventurous, amiable attraction.
Sit up str... ah, skip it.

With teachers from Colombia and India, Zoe was really struggling to pin down ONE ethnicity that may represent herself or our family. We are kind of a hodge-podge of ethnicities – but since Purim happened so recently, Zoe really wanted to make hamentashen and carry an Israeli flag around during her 'Rainbow Song' for International Day. She belted out her song and ate everything that the other kids brought in – bean cakes from China, Irish soda bread and empanadas to name just a few!

On Christmas day we stayed indoors for the most part because that warm spell was broken by the coldest snap ever! Our friends invited us to their house for a little dinner, and because Lea and Mia's mom is from Germany we felt a little bit of German Christmas in the air.

My dad has been unwell, and things have been stressful. I had to leave "my littles" behind in NYC and go ahead to Boston for a few days. Coincidentally an old friend lives nearby and offered me a room to stay in. Her company and her inspiring house kept my mind off of hospital stress; offering a reprieve from it all.
Efharis Alepedis is an old friend and a phenomenal jewelry designer. Her sister Betty Alepedis-Stoukides makes gorgeous paintings and leather jewelry from Greece – where she lives fulltime. And Effy curates all these amazing things in her home in such a sunny way, I had to photograph it all. I do love her ongoing collection of jewelry by new designers… so inspiring! The cut leather necklaces and paintings on the wall are Betty's. The sea urchins and silk worm cocoons are Effy's favorite materials to work with. And all the other pieces labeled with pencil on the wall (and cut wood necklaces and bee/honeycomb ring on the table) are work by young designers that Effy and Betty find and enjoy. One of my all time favorites is the white china plate that she hangs in her kitchen. With perfect disks cut out of it, the resulting necklace hangs next to it.
I couldn't help but include a shot of the streets and houses around her home… so 'New England' .. I felt like a kid in my old neighborhood again.

We gorged on chicken and waffles (Uncle Anthony's idea) – some fish and chips for the kids, steak sandwiches and shrimp spring rolls. Washed it all down with mango lemonade – yum! – and then on to more scooting. We are hoping that by showing them all this good food, they'll crave some more and will come back again and visit.

We took Jake and Tali uptown to see the Museum of Natural History, and then got THE MOST AMAZING PIZZA EVER at Primo Pizza 84. I'm not kidding, this vegetarian pizza is even better than the pizza I've had in Naples, Italy! Phenomenal!

- I replaced our stainless steel sink with the composite sink. It was easy to install. It is beautiful. Was able to order the color that matched my kitchen. It is very heavy duty. Does not stain and easy to keep clean. Made my kitchen look like a million bucks.

- Beautiful Sink but High Maintenance
July 11, 2014
- Bought our first sink and installed it only to find hairline cracks around the drain hole within a couple of days, took the sink out HD replaced it with another one. Put a hot pan in the sink and it left a dark ring, which finally vanished after about a month. Filled the sink with water and greasy pan to soak overnight, I now have a faded white watermark around the whole sink that has been there for 1 week, hoping it will fade. I do like a tidy home, so this irritates me every time I walk into the kitchen. I have never had to be so careful about sink in my life, I wish we would have gone with a cast iron sink because we do a lot of home cooking and this one just isn't up to the task.

- I didn't like the stainless steel sink I had; saw this sink online; then in the store and decided it was what I wanted as a replacement. Am very satisfied with it and it goes great with my countertop and back splash. Great sink at a good price!
- By: cvlady
- Wish I listened to the reviews
June 25, 2014
- We bought this sink 3 weeks ago and we thought we were one of the lucky ones. We went over the whole sink several times looking for cracks because I had read several reviews that stated the sinks have cracks. There were no cracks. Well after 3 weeks of use the sink has a crack down the right side bottom of the right basin. I wish I would have read others that had problems and purchased a different sink but I was blinded because I loved the way this sink looks. I am so disappointed with this thing. So now we either take it out after all the work my husband did putting it in and get something else or deal with it and hope it doesn't crack so deep that it's unusable. I would not recommend this sink at all.

Out of Reach
***inspired by a crazy dream, a scene in my novel, & my new obsession with 6 word lines***
ever desired someon just outta reach?
you watch them from behind glass
wanting to smash it and dive
right into an abyss of discovery
touching. tasting. exploring. nibbling. scratching. moaning.
you want them to experience something
they boast about doing to others
unsure if you have the nerve
not caring. blinded by desire. craving.
zero fucks given to lacking experience
you ready to scoop them up
have them screaming out your name
vision blurry hyperventilating sporadic body tremors
attempting reconnection with their favorite diety
walking off rookie of the year
ego on high. heart on pause.
reality reminds you what they need
it's the game of your life
not the season. not a career.
so you pull out the windex
clean the glass infront of you
hands in pockets. keep on looking
at what is out of reach.

The Five Biggest Contradictions in Fitness
Its no secret that when people contradict themselves, it has the effect of making the flaws in their actions or statements seem glaringly obvious. But what about when WE ourselves get caught contradicting ourselves by someone else?
I am looking to get a pair of knee wraps for the first time. I am a raw squatter with slightly wider than shoulder width stance. Any ideas for good priced wraps and what length?

Faced with a room full of jeering county employees afraid of losing their jobs, the Floyd County Council came up with a tentative plan Thursday night for the county's 2014 budget to stave off staff cuts.
Council president John Schellenberger said at the meeting that next week they'll look at passing a $12.3 million general fund budget to be sent to the Department of Local Government Finance — $3.6 million more than the estimated funds they'll actually receive — and give themselves about four months to figure out a way to make up the difference.
But before that idea came to the table, county employees voiced their frustration with decisions they thought led to hemorrhaging county funds.
Cheryl Mills, second deputy assessor, said among those expenditures was the decision to buy the Pineview Government Center from the New Albany-Floyd County Consolidated School Corp. for $1.5 million. It's where Thursday's meeting was held.
She said that along with other costs, the brunt of the bill shouldn't be paid by employees.
"You all have bitten off more than you chew, but the bottom line is this," Mills said. "It's not our responsibility to bail you out as the employees of the county."
Jim Wathen, At-large councilman, said the county hired 50 employees between 2010 and 2012, which also added to rising expenses. But Elizabeth Brewer, a nurse at the Floyd County jail, said wherever they were hired, they didn't go to work in the overcrowded corrections facility.
She said if the council went through with 30 percent budget cuts across every department — as suggested by Vice-President Dana Fendley — it could make working in the jail dangerous.
She said she works the jail with one other nurse as cell blocks are staffed with two corrections officers, responsible for about 60 inmates. She said she's afraid employee cuts could affect the safety of her and her colleagues.
"If you cut officers, it might be me that doesn't go home that day," Brewer said. "It might be my fellow nurse that doesn't go home that day. We didn't overspend, we didn't buy the buildings, we didn't make the decisions that you guys as a council made, but we'll pay for those mistakes."
Trish Byrd, county assessor, said morale in county offices has been on the decline for a long time. She said her employees take on a lot of extra work, haven't seen a raise in years, took a big hit with increased insurance premiums, and seeing the council buy a new building "leaves a bad taste in their mouths."
Wathen said he understands the concerns voiced by the employees and wants to do everything he can to preserve their jobs.
"We know every single person out there is an asset to Floyd County," Wathen said. "We certainly are between a rock and a hard place. We know the complaints are out there because honestly, if I was in your shoes, I'd be complaining, too. You all have been treated very bad for the last 11 years as employees."

Times West Virginian
When February rolls around, Art Malcolm and other members of the West Virginia Order of the Eastern Star buy an assortment of items, from socks and T-shirts to Valentine's Day cards — and take them to patients at the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg.
It's part of the National Salute to Veteran Patients Week, which this year occurs Sunday to Feb. 16.
"A lot of veterans come to the hospital and you'd be surprised, they don't have a lot of the things they need," said Malcolm, a Clarksburg resident and chairman of the West Virginia chapter of the Freemasonry-related fraternal organization.
"We take things like T-shirts and socks and toiletry articles, that sort of thing. That's the reason we visit and pass those out. They all seem to appreciate it when we come by and say hello. They really thank us for that."
Established in 1978 and popularized by advice columnist Ann Landers, who encouraged her readers to send Valentine's Day cards to veterans in hospitals, the National Salute to Veteran Patients will be filled with various groups dropping by the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center, said Thomas J. Gallagher, chief of voluntary service.
"The program is to pay tribute to express appreciation to veterans and to increase the role of the VA medical center and to encourage citizens to visit hospitalized veterans and become volunteers," he said. "That's the three basic tenets from the National Salute on the website," which is www.volunteer.va.gov/NationalSaluteVeteranPatients.asp.
In addition to the members of the Order of the Eastern Star, as of last week, the Liberty High School jazz band was scheduled to perform Feb. 11 — the same day that West Virginia University's Mountaineer mascot was to visit — and the Liberty High School choir was scheduled to perform the next day.

Who, in their right mind, would play "Part of Me", "Rumor Has It", "Heartbeat", "Mr. Know It All", "F**k You", "What The Hell", "Princess of China", "Ridin' Solo", or "Dancing On My Own" at their freaking wedding? Aren't weddings supposed to be about love, not getting heartbroken and cheating and all of the themes displayed in the songs above?

Weddings are multi-generational. If you want to have everyone under the age of 25 up dancing and everyone else sitting round wanting to dance but waiting for something they like then this is a great play list for you, but all the best weddings I've been to have stuck with the tried and tested classic floor fillers. Your wedding playlist CAN be too cool, but it can never be too cheesy. Stick to the music you grew up with and some songs to cater to the older guests, throw in a few contemporary songs for good measure, and everyone is guaranteed a good time. Your grandparents are NOT going to dance to S&M.
