Who: Tony Lucca
Where: Los Angeles, CA
For fans of: Keaton Simons, Curtis Peoples, Tyler Hilton, Nathan Morris, Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, Dan Fogelberg, Steely Dan
Why you should check him out: The third part of the powerful indie triumvirate, which has Curtis Peoples and Keaton Simons filling the first two spots, Tony Lucca is looking to carve out his own name just as much as Curtis and Keaton have in the past 18 months with Curtis releasing his label debut while Keaton got signed recently to the CW Network-owned CBS Records.
Tony's sound is much more understated, fusing elements of blues, jazz, soul, and a touch of bluegrass to his electric guitar driven pop/rock sound. Some have dared to compare him to Jackson Browne and Joni Mitchell but there is no denying that the styles of the two music legends and this young singer-songwriter are quite similar to each other.
Featured on this edition of The IndieLight is a great video showing fans…and future Tony Lucca fans everything you need to know about the man that is Tony Lucca.

I'm feeling refreshed after a fabulous little holiday, but when I thought about my blog, I realised I really didn't have much to tell you, seeing I hadn't been home for most of the week.
That was until our daughter designed a great thread bobbin template and made it available free on her website! I just had to share it.
I have to travel more than 20 kilometres to buy sewing bits and pieces so if I run out of bobbins I have to resort to trying to cut bits of cardboard into some sort of shape that has only a slight resemblance to what it should look like! No more! I'm sure you will just love this template as much as I do! You can find it here:
While you're there, have a look at the rest of the website. The focus is on children and making craft easy and accessible for them ... and there's going to be a fabulous children's magazine launched very soon, full of great ideas - craft, sewing, recipes, games, drama, stories, puzzles, party ideas and more! Have a look at all the fabulous decorated cakes too - they are amazing.
I will have the next block in the free Block of the Month "Apples of Gold" quilt for you on the weekend.
Happy stitching!

Blast factor is a top-down shooter controlled primarily with the two analog sticks. The left analog stick is used for movement, while the right analog stick is used to aim and shoot. As with similar games, you have a 360-degree range of fire. You also will have a repulser (bomb) that will slow down time and push enemies away from you. It also implements the use of the sixaxis very well. You simply flip the controller left or right, causing a wave to roll across the screen, shoving all enemies to one side. The controls are implemented perfectly, and once you get hang of these simple mechanics you will have very few issues completing game.
You will use these weapons to navigate the seven specimens in the basic research. Each specimen is made up of 13 cells, seven of which you need to complete. The path you take from level to level deviates between different play sessions, which is a nice touch. The path you're given is determined by on how well you complete each cell. Finish the cell without dying and under the time limit, and the game will think you're skilled and hand you a harder level next time around. But if you die a lot or take too long, the game will go easier on you.
The first six cells are standard battles, with the final cell including a boss fight. Along with the boss, there will also be other enemies that it will periodically appear and try to distract you. Although these may seem rough at first, each boss follows a certain pattern which can be learned rather easily. Throughout each cell you will pick up different upgrades to your weapons. Each upgrade has a limited amount of time to use it, and you can only use it for the cell you pick it up in.
There are also multiple kinds of enemies that will test your skills. There will be some you will need to tilt the screen to kill, some you will need to use your repulser on. There are also enemies that will increase their speed when you use tilt or the repulser. All these factors add up to an extremely hectic atmosphere, and actually adds quite a bit of strategy. It can also lead to cheap deaths, especially when enemies suddenly spawn right next to you, only giving you a split second to react.
Since Blast Factor's release, it has received an enormous expansion pack. This is as much a sequel as it is an add-on since it nearly doubles the number of levels at your disposal. This expansion pack adds the Advance research levels, which include seven new specimens, 11 new enemies, two new bosses, as well as new music, lighting and sound effects. This was a welcomed addition to a solid game, but doesn't really upgrade the gameplay itself.
There are a few negatives though when it comes to the game. The initial game only shipped with seven specimens, and although it did receive some DLC it would have been nice to see more in the beginning. In Basic Research, there is only one type of boss the entire time. His fighting style changes from time to time, but even that can get old. The DLC doesn't add much either in terms of boss fights.
One thing that really would of been nice is a little more variety when it comes to weapons. More often then not you will only be using your mini laser. It is nice to see the occasional upgrade, but those are far and few between and can not be carried over from cell to cell. It was nice that they added in the repulser and tilt, but the lack of an upgradeable main weapon that can be leveled up is a pretty glaring issue.
Blast Factor is an addicting game, but a frustrating one as well. The DLC was an attempt to fix some faults within the game, but there's a lot more that could have been upgraded. Overall, this is a pretty decent game that fans of the genre will probably want to try out. And it is a fairly easy game to gain trophies in.
PlayStation LifeStyle's Final Score
Lacks a main, upgradeable weapon.
Fast paced and addictive, but often frustrating as well.

Press Release
From: Alliance Spacesystems
Posted: Thursday, March 3, 2005
PASADENA, Calif. - Alliance Spacesystems, Inc. (ASI) was presented with the George M. Low (GML) Award, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) premier quality and performance award for prime and subcontractors at the 19th Continual Improvement and Reinventions Conference, held March 1-2, 2005.� ASI was nominated in the category of Small Business�Products by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in July of 2004. While it was ASI's development of the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) robotic arm that brought the company particular notoriety at JPL this year, ASI was evaluated on the quality, safety, customer satisfaction and technical performance of all of its NASA-related contracts and subcontracts.�
"It is a tremendous honor to receive this award," said Ren� Fradet, CEO of ASI. "We work hard at ASI to provide NASA, and all our customers, with the highest quality engineering and manufacturing possible, and it is gratifying to have that effort recognized."
Fredrick Gregory, Acting Administrator of NASA, presented the George M. Low Trophy to Fradet at a special luncheon, which concluded the Continual Improvement and Reinventions Conference.� Low believed that it was the excellence and quality of the people working on the Apollo missions that made the lunar landings possible, and, therefore, it is appropriate that the trophy takes the shape of an Apollo Command Module and has an embedded medallion which has alloyed in it a portion of an artifact flown to the moon and back on Apollo 11.�
The award's namesake, George M. Low (1926-1984), greatly contributed to the early development of NASA Space Programs during his 27 years of government service.� Low's career and achievements spanned many fields, but his accomplishments were legendary as an engineer, mathematician, scientist, NASA Director and Deputy Administrator, Chairman of the National Research Council, and President of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.� Low advanced through NASA management on the strength of his extraordinary quality-embedded achievements, making made him a role model for all who knew and worked with him.� The GML Trophy is awarded today in honor of the man who stretched the boundaries of excellence, and who motivated others to do the same through his example.� The presentation of the GML Award signifies NASA's recognition that the award recipient has demonstrated excellence and outstanding technical and managerial achievements in quality and performance.�

Learning how to swim is according to me, one of the most important and life saving classes you can enroll your child in. I really don't know why I waited so long to start them off but they are finally getting swimming lessons.
As my son is older than the girl, he is enjoying the classes more but I would not take any credit away from her, she does the exercises, jumps the jumps and tries and keeps up with her older brother to the best of her ability.
But a word of caution, start the smaller ones (below 3) only when they are ready. My children have been used to the pool at the farm so starting swimming classes was not daunting for them, but for some children it can be a traumatic and unpleasant experience.
Happy Swimming Y'all!

Lucky sigh, I am evening shine.
Dare thieves sing thanks?
Too alone at times.
Thoughts swiften over the sea:
Again to Greece.
Not first, one feeling man stands: lucky, earnest.
In late Autumn, his living all the life
in swathes, waves.
And his thoughts swiften
Again to Greece,
Toward arches
and men.

Wow, time has been passing by so quickly and we are already in August and with the August edition Beauty Box.
Unfortunately I wasn't impressed with this month's beauty box as it seems to scale down on the product quantities and its actually pretty sad looking with the box only 1/5 filled. Although there are a few premium brands included, it is still quite disappointing really...
Ioma Cell Protector Sun Screen SPF 50 PA+++, Benefit Dream Screen SPF45 PA+++, SKII Cellumination Lotion, SKII Cellumination Deep Surge, Shiseido White Lucent Eye Cream, Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream
Radical Anti-aging Restorative Moisture Cream, Ralph Lauren Sample Perfume and Sulwhasoo Perfecting Cushion (seriously, I've been getting this sample all the time).
I sure hope that next month's wouldn't be as boring as at least be like 3/4 filled and not a measly 1/5 else I would have to reconsider my subscription which I definitely don't want it to end.

Chicago's Luxury Garage Sale Hits STL For a One-Day Pop-Up Shop Downtown
Louis, Gucci and Chanel…oh my! For those with a taste for designer finds on a budget, Chicago-based consignment boutique, Luxury Garage Sale, has you covered. Created by Washington University alumna Lindsay Segal and her childhood friend Brielle Buchberg, Luxury Garage Sale is packing up its stock of gently-used designer and contemporary clothing and hitting the road for St. Louis, where it will host a one-day-only pop-up shop this Thursday, June 27 at the Collective at MX.
The shop has built quite a name for itself in Chicago, where its Wells Street boutique has spawned into several pop-up events around the Chicago area, garnering the attention of media outlets including Refinery29, Daily Candy, Lucky Magazine, Racked and NBC. The choice to venture to St. Louis was an easy one for Segal, a graduate of Fashion Design and Women's Studies at the prestigious Sam Fox School of Arts. According to Sarah Saddemi, director of business development at Luxury Garage Sale, "[Lindsay] always loved that St. Louis is determined to help cultivate a strong fashion community by supporting local designers and students hoping to break into the fashion industry," and credits Professor Jeigh Singleton for fostering her love for all things fashion.
Both avid collectors as children, the co-founders combined their love for fashion, vintage, sales and designer pieces to form the Luxury Garage Sale concept in 2011. The endeavor quickly grew to a staff of 14 and includes item research, clothing pickup, eBay sales, events and risk-free consignment. Best of all, the services are free—Luxury Garage Sale simply charges a 35-percent commission rate once the items sells.
So, how does the Luxury Garage Sale selection stack up when compared to other designer re-sellers? Simply stated, it boasts a "well-edited" collection. "The reason that Brielle and Lindsay opened the store in the first place was because they were frustrated with shopping in unorganized and overcrowded consignment shops," Saddemi explains. "When customers step into our boutique, we hope their shopping experience is enhanced by the luxury environment that Brielle and Lindsay have created."
The team plans on keeping its luxurious aesthetic alive for its first venture outside of Chicago and are eager to showcase the collection to the fashion-loving women of St. Louis. Featured designers will include Gucci, Christian Dior, Hermes, Chanel, Stella McCartney, Lanvin, Louis Vuitton, Jimmy Choo, Prada and more.
To snag a designer treasure of your own, be sure to mark your calendar for this one-day event taking place on Thursday, June 27th from 11am-7pm at the Collective at MX.
Have items you want to sell? Schedule a pick-up by emailing email@example.com, or call 312.291.9126 for more information.

Mothers - 'Mossbawn Sunlight' by Seamus Heaney and 'Not yet my mother' by Owen SheersJohn O'Donoghue
How do poets depict people who have been close to them in their lives? What kind of literary, rhetorical and grammatical features do they choose in portraying characters? How do they shape their poems to explore themes of kinship, relationship, and closeness to others? Using a mixture of textual analysis, creative writing, and sharing of work, this lesson is designed to develop reading, speaking and writing skills through teacher-led activities, pair work and individual writing activity.
To develop and adapt speaking skills and strategies in formal and informal contexts To analyse how writers' use of linguistic and literary features shapes and influences meaning To generate poems, through planning, drafting, and rewriting
Resources needed
Poetry Archive recordings of Owen Sheers reading 'Not Yet My Mother' and Seamus Heaney reading 'Mossbawn Sunlight' Whiteboard linked to the Poetry Archive website for viewing the texts of the poems Students' own photographs of family members or people who are close to them
Teaching sequence of activities
Check all students have photographs of their 'significant other'. Why are they significant? What do we mean by the term 'significant other'? Ask each student to come up with five adjectives to describe their own 'significant other'.
Poets write about their 'significant others' using a variety of means both to describe the person in a poem, and - more subtly - to evoke their relationship. This lesson will explore the ways two poets do this, and, after the class has analysed the two poems, students will write their own poem using some of the techniques uncovered in class. The teacher plays the recording of Owen Sheers reading 'Not Yet My Mother'. Students read the text of the poem as they listen to the recording. Students in pairs discuss the poem and feed back to class, focusing on: ALLITERATION, eg Yesterday I found a photo of you at seventeen, holding a horse and smiling, not yet my mother. The tight riding hat hid your hair, and your legs were still the long shins of a boy's. You held the horse by the halter, your hand a fist under its huge jaw. REPETITION, eg 'yet', 'still', 'seventeen', 'horse', 'smiling' STRUCTURE: the poem is circular, ie ends with the photo, as it opened. But by the end a paradoxical change has taken place. Teacher to check on and prompt discussion by circulating round the class. Then feedback is taken, and points noted on the whiteboard. Repeat this process for Seamus Heaney's poem, Mossbawn Sunlight: Play the recording, as students follow the text. Students then discuss the poem and feed back to class, this time focusing on alliteration, assonance and imagery. The teacher again highlights points on the whiteboard. The teacher now leads a discussion on the two poems, looking in particular for points of similarity and difference, and sums up the kinds of technique each poet uses in order to convey 'the significant other'. Students look at the photos they have brought in. They are asked to 'cluster' (mindmap) around the five adjectives they came up with at the start of the lesson, in order to create a 'verbal palette' from which to 'paint' their poem. For example: young-vulnerable-childlike-toys; cricket bat-cricket-match-summer-ball falling. For more information on clustering, see 'Meade Communications' Students write their own poems using 'clusters'.
Students read finished poems out to class, and share feedback.
Extension Activities
Students take drafts made in class and polish them for homework. Students write a short essay comparing and contrasting the two poems used in this lesson.
Further Reading
Other poems about 'significant others', including 'My Papa's Waltz' by Theodore Roethke, 'Timer' by Tony Harrison and 'Granny Is' by Valerie Bloom.

Carl Dize is grand marshal of the 2008 Urbanna Christmas Parade
by Larry S. Chowning
The Middlesex County Volunteer Fire Department's Ladies Auxiliary and the Town of Urbanna have named Carl Dize the grand marshal of the Urbanna Christmas Parade to be held on Friday, December 5, at 7 p.m.
Dize, 86, moved to Urbanna from Tangier Island in 1933 along with his parents, sister and aunt. They arrived in a 34-foot deadrise boat named "Fritter."
Dize's family had been through the August Storm of 1933 and their home had been flooded. "We left Tangier on the last day of September at 1:30 p.m. and came across the bay," he said. "When we came into Urbanna Creek the next morning, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven."
The first year in Urbanna, the Dize family lived in an old store converted into a house along Cottage Row on Taylor Avenue. The next year Dize's father and mother bought a home on Cottage Row.
"My father Melvin, Ed Pruitt, Elmer Shores, Avary Payne and Lighthouse Crockett were the ones who brought the soft-crab business to Urbanna," said Dize. "They were trying to find a way not to have to go back to Tangier after oyster season. There wasn't any crab market over here and they needed some kind of work.
"Daddy and the others went to see a Mr. Slaughter, who had a seafood house at Morattico, and they talked him into buying our crabs," he said. "A year later Boyd Hurley (of J.W. Hurley and Son Seafood in Urbanna) also got into the crab business."
Dize attended Urbanna School and Saluda High School. He joined the Coast Guard in 1941 and was in the service in Washington, D.C., when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.
While in training, his group was asked who knew how to sail a boat. Dize had grown up sailing his father's 34-foot deadrise, and when he stepped forward he was soon transferred to a 75-foot sailboat named the "Comanche."
For several months, Dize lived aboard "Comanche" patrolling the Atlantic Ocean between Chincoteague Island and Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and searching for German submarines.
Later, in French Morocco in Africa, he was on a landing craft and received a head injury during an air raid, which put him in the hospital for several months.
He survived the war, came home and learned the plumbing and heating business from H.L. (Plumber) Taylor. In 1952, he went to work at the Naval Weapons Station in Yorktown from which he retired.
He and his late wife Flo raised their family in Urbanna. They were married for 62 years. He has three children, Sue, Chipper and Cathy, five grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.
He has been a member of the Urbanna Masonic Lodge for 51 years and grew up as a member of Urbanna United Methodist Church. He also is a member of Middlesex American Legion Post 82 in Saluda.
"We are so fortunate to have Carl as our grand marshal," said Lois Jean Brooks, chairperson of the Christmas Parade. "He is a pillar of the Urbanna United Methodist Church and has been a wonderful example in life for all of us."
Town mayor Beatrice Taylor said, "The town is honored to recognize Carl Dize as the grand marshal of the Christmas Parade. He is a good citizen of our town and has served our country with pride and honor. He is the kind of person we want to represent us all."

Date story was published: Sunday, February 3, 1985
AUBURN, Ala. - As reliable as the groundhog, who stuck his head out of his hole yesterday, controversy returned to the Kentucky-Auburn game.
How clouded was UK's 49-47 overtime victory yesterday afternoon? Questions about it may continue for six more weeks.
What is known is that Kenny Walker sank two free throws with five seconds remaining in overtime to give the Wildcats their 11th victory in 19 games and improve their Southeastern Conference record to 6-4. Auburn fell to 12-7 overall and 4-6 in the SEC.
Much happened before and more than you might think possible occurred after the clutch free throws.
With only five seconds left, Auburn guard Gerald White had time to race downcourt and put up a jumper from inside the foul line. It was short, but the Tigers got off three more shots, including a baseline jumper, before the buzzer mercifully sounded.
By that time, UK coach Joe Hall had strode to the timekeeper. Once there, Hall pointed his finger at the man, a local high school principal named John Mills, complaining that the buzzer hadn't sounded until a couple of seconds after time had run out.
"I didn't use profanity," Hall said of the heated discussion. "But I was upset they didn't sound the horn."
Considering the controversies that seemed drawn to this game, the finish was fitting.
Remember three years ago when Auburn center Charles Barkley was ejected in the game's first three minutes? How about the overtime basket by Derrick Hord that was disallowed because of a timing malfunction two years ago?
Hall certainly remembered.
"Everything went through my mind," a relieved Hall said. "It's happened here before."
Immediately after the game, Mills said: "I don't know what happened."
John Lewandowski, the Auburn assistant sports information director, said that the automatic timer that sounds the horn must be reset after each blast.
"He just forget to reset it after regulation," Lewandowski said of Mills.
Walker's free throws were the only points scored in the final 2:22 of overtime.
Auburn called a timeout with five seconds to go to let Walker think.
During the break, UK equipment manager Bill Keightly stuck a bobby pin in Walker's shorts.
"I didn't know what it was," Walker said of the pin. "He said it would bring me luck."
Keightly said he found two bobby pins in a hallway of Memorial Coliseum before the game.
"I've never done anything like that before," Keightly said. "When you get as old as I am, you've got to believe in something."
Walker's free throws gave him 15 points in the game, high for the game. They also gave UK its fifth last-minute victory over Auburn this decade. Walker beat the Tigers on a last-second shot in last year's Southeastern Conference Tournament championship game.
Hord (1983), Kyle Macy (1980) and Dirk Minniefield (1980) also have broken Auburn's heart.
"This is my most discouraging loss, without a doubt," Auburn coach Sonny Smith said. "Unless we're up 15, there's always a cloud of controversy around this game. It's a shame it's not decided by the kids."
Each team had opportunities to build a lead in overtime.
An Auburn basket was disallowed in overtime when Chuck Person's jumper hit the post supporting the 45-second clock over the backboard before dropping in.
The play sparked another controversy. Auburn claimed the shot hit only the top of the backboard and should have counted.
UK said it hit the brace.
Auburn's Frank Ford missed the first shot of a one-and-one free throw with 1:24 remaining.
UK's Ed Davender had the same misfortune with 1:04 to go.
Kentucky had two chances to win it in the final 18 seconds of regulation.
Davender missed a 15-footer with Chris Morris leaping into his field of vision. That shot followed a UK timeout with 27 seconds to go.
Bret Bearup rebounded the miss and UK called another timeout with 12 seconds to go.
Given a second chance, the Cats looked inside for Walker. Roger Harden threw inside, but Walker appeared to be held and couldn't get to the pass.
"He pulled me down," Walker said of Person's defense, "just pulled me out of the play."
Morris retrieved the loose ball and dribbled out on the break. Harden tipped away Morris' fast-break pass. In the scramble for the ball, Harden was called for holding Morris just before the buzzer.
Because it was only UK's sixth team foul, no free throws were shot and the teams went into overtime.
"If Joe's mad at the timer, so am I," Smith said. "We should have had three seconds on the clock."
Hall said he thought Harden hadn't committed a foul.
Kentucky had the first chance to break the 43-43 deadlock. But the Cats were a little too patient. As in the LSU game, Harden had to let fly from 25 feet with the shot clock down to one second.
This time he missed.
At the other end, Auburn freshman Morris shot from the baseline in traffic. Winston Bennett strong-armed the rebound.
Both teams shot poorly. In the second half, Kentucky made just four of its first 12 shots. Auburn connected on six of 15.
Rebounding, an Auburn strength all season, helped the Tigers open up a 35-30 lead. Auburn made four baskets off rebounds in the first 10 minutes of the second half. Guard Frank Ford's rebound basket put Auburn up 29-28 with 14:21 remaining.
A flying left-hand-only jam by Morris raised the lead to three, 33-30, at the 11:53 mark.
Another Morris basket off a rebound gave Auburn its largest lead, 35-30, with 10:20 to go.
Richard Madison answered for Kentucky, throwing in three straight bank shots from 15 feet to get Kentucky back into it.
"That was one of the biggest keys," Smith said of Madison's shots. "They found a seam." Madison finished with 14 points and seven rebounds.
Madison had missed two shots before he started connecting. He continued to shoot after a brief on-court exchange with Walker.
"He was rushing a little," Walker said. "I told him, 'They're leaving you open. Keep shooting, keep shooting.' "
Madison had to leave the game with 4:58 remaining because of a minor knee sprain and didn't return until the overtime.
From there, the teams struggled until the final seconds.
A combination of Kentucky defense and poor Auburn shot selection was responsible for the Cats' 22-20 halftime lead.
UK alternated its defenses, playing mostly man-to-man, but also using 2-3 and matchup zones.
Auburn helped the Kentucky defense by shooting quickly and poorly in the opening 20 minutes. Auburn made just 10 of 30 shots in the half (33.3 percent).
The Tigers got only one basket in a span of nearly 10 minutes in the first half. During that time, UK outscored Auburn 11-2.
That string erased an early 8-3 Auburn lead and put the Cats ahead 14-10.
UK, which displayed the same patient offense that produced Thursday's 53-43 victory over Louisiana State, nursed that lead to the locker room.
Kentucky needed several minutes to get into its patient mode. The Cats turned the ball over four times in the first three minutes, and Auburn converted three of the mistakes into fast-break baskets.
Person, who finished the half with 11 points, hit a baseline jumper off a break to give Auburn its 8-3 lead.
Thereafter, UK cut down the turnovers, finishing the half with just seven.
Without the fast-break opportunities, Auburn's half-court offense dissolved into confusion.
Several times Person forced jumpers over the close guarding of UK's Bennett. Freshman center Jeff Moore was also quick on the trigger.
After Person's baseline shot at the 16:59 mark, the Tigers got only two more points until reserve Carey Holland rebounded a miss and put it home.
Auburn made just one of 10 shots during the span, a post-up shot by Person.
Kentucky, meanwhile, looked for Walker inside and hit the boards.
Walker had only two points during UK's 11-2 run. The Cats got two jumpers from Troy McKinley to soften the Auburn zone.
Bearup rebounded his own miss and completed a three-point play that tied the score at 10-10 at the 12:39 mark.
UK's fast break yielded layups by Madison and Walker that put the Cats ahead 14-10 with 10:06 to go.
Despite its patience, UK did not shoot much better than Auburn. The Cats made nine of 23 shots in the half (39 percent).

In a letter to Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, activist hedge fund Starboard Value has called for the breakup of Yahoo! Inc. Starboard's plan is mainly two-fold: First, sell Yahoo's remaining stake in Chinese ecommerce giant Alibaba Group Inc. and its holdings in Yahoo Japan. Secondly, merge its core display and advertising business with AOL Inc. – with AOL remaining as the surviving entity in order to avoid paying taxes on the Asian sale.
It's a clever idea but one that would mark the end of Yahoo(YHOO) as a brand. Mayer knows this. And during a conference call with investors on Tuesday, she responded strongly to Starboard — effectively telling them to 'back off.' Still, Mayer could actually use Starboard's aggressive stance to her advantage if she plays her cards right. Here's how:
Starboard's suggestion of merging with AOL (AOL) is smart and correct. Yahoo has stuck to its core business of digital advertising even though the company has been floundering on that front for a while. What it needs is a technological partner that can update its old-fashioned digital advertising platform. AOL, by contrast, has ramped up its ability to deliver compelling video and mobile advertising, and could be a good partner for Yahoo. As proof of its superior product, AOL's advertising revenues were up 20% in the second quarter this year while Yahoo's fell by 8%.
What Mayer should do is buy AOL outright.
With a $6.3 billion windfall after taxes from the sale of its shares in the recent Alibaba (BABA) IPO, Yahoo is cash rich and can afford to acquire AOL, which has a market cap of approximately $3.5 billion. The cutting edge advertising delivery platform that AOL brings to the table will not only make the purchase accretive from a profitability standpoint, but it will enable Yahoo to strengthen and preserve its core brand. That is immensely valuable and even necessary for Yahoo.
Where Mayer needs to reject Starboard's recommendations (and seems that she is willing to) is in the sale of its Alibaba stock and Asian assets. Those assets, as Starboard admits, have tremendous potential. And that's exactly why Yahoo should hold on to them. The only apparent reason for the spin off at this time would be to realize tax savings, but that should not be the driver for breaking up a well-known brand that could generate immense value for shareholders in the future if it gets its knitting right – and with AOL under its belt, Yahoo might be able to do exactly that.
The other reason for Mayer to resist Starboard's pressures to break Yahoo up is that the activist fund's primary motivation to break up Yahoo is not to save the company but to generate immediate cash for shareholders. There is nothing wrong with this, of course. Jeffrey Smith, who runs Starboard, is in the business of maximizing shareholder wealth in the short-term. But Mayer's job is to create value in the long-term, and in the Starboard version of this deal, she may have to give up the growth strategy that could be key to Yahoo's success.
Mayer, who comes from Google, has pursued the same growth strategy for Yahoo as her former employer, trying to build the company through opportunistic acquisitions. The market reaction has been less than kind, and the CEO has frequently found herself under attack by analysts, particularly on the company's $1.1 billion acquisition of blogging platform Tumblr in 2013.
However, despite the criticism, it seems that Yahoo's biggest acquisition to date was a good bet, as Mayer announced Tuesday that Tumblr will bring in more than $100 million of revenues in 2015 from sponsored advertising and a rapidly growing user base. What this implies is that Mayer is not necessarily on the wrong track, even if the process is messy and comes with risks. She should stick to her guns even if others don't share her vision.
This is a seminal moment for Mayer, who needs to show the market that she has the chops to lead Yahoo to higher profits in an uncertain time. She can do that by pursuing the acquisition of AOL while simultaneously ignoring the rest of Starboard's recommendations.
Now that would be a power move.

FRIDAY, April 30 (HealthDay News) -- Mental impairments in psychopaths are similar to those in people with damage to the frontal lobes of the brain, a new study finds.
Latest Mental Health News
Callousness and a lack of remorse and empathy are among the personality traits of psychopaths, but the exact cause of these characteristics has been the subject of debate.
In this study, Israeli researchers compared the emotional and cognitive traits and abilities of healthy people, psychopaths, patients with frontal lobe damage, and patients with damage to other areas of the brain.
The found that the pattern of impairments in the psychopaths was remarkable similar to those in patients with frontal lobe damage. This suggests that dysfunction in the frontal lobes may be the underlying cause of the behavioral problems in psychopaths, the researchers concluded.
The study appeared online April 27 in the May issue of the journal Cortex.

ha....yeah i hear you man...and back in the day she was taking out her own insecurities for sure...there were probably plenty of guys who would have jumped at the chance...back then i might have...ReplyDelete
I love this, the way you tell your stories. So, I guess I was right to be afraid to ride in cars with boys. That backseat can get a little crazy :) Oh, it's strange to see where people have ended up, isn't it? It does make for some interesting thoughts in every direction.ReplyDelete
Wouldn't we all like to have do-overs !
Thanks so much. I have to be a little reverential when I think about the backseat, though--I'm sure it's where I was conceived!
the memory of it sounds so clear the way you put it. it's amazing how certain memory stays with you no matter how much time has passed.ReplyDelete
if nothing else, you get to write about it.
'Hell hath no fury' as the saying goes. I can totally relate to your feelings in that back seat. (Nobody wants to be a second choice!)ReplyDelete
But, in her defense, she was also young and probably didn't fathom your feelings any more than you understood hers.
That's why the nature of young love (or lust) is so temporal and temperamental. We learn hard lessons there.
Another excellent write, Timoteo!

I love this piece. Someone told me, every once in a while, its great to hear your "non-poet voice"...ReplyDelete
Its great to hear your non-poet voice, Tim.

You are spot on with all of that...thanks, dude!
Thanks. I don't know if a poet can ever write with a non-poet voice, even when he's writing prose!
Ain't if funny how some just LET THEMSELVES GO...where do they go? The go to pot !
You had me, as it were, in that same back seat with you, feeling identical spurnings and soilings of my poet's heart housed in the hungry girl's body. Oh the roads we have traveled. This is a distinctive, honest, and beautifully crafted piece. I think that if we make it to the down side of the slope we assume that the bodies along the way never felt anything, that women are the only ones who feel wounded or damaged. Not true.ReplyDelete
One night coming back from a play rehearsal in high school I had been given a ride by the local mortician's son, also the student body president. I absolutely adored him. At some point I took the plunge and said, "Herbie, what would you do if I unbuttoned my blouse."
The little asshole stopped the hearse, pulled over to the side of the road, reached for me and turned me over his knee and spanked me! And not the kinky kind either. Years later it turned out he was a pedophile.
Thanks for sharing this and participating yet again. xxxj
Jenne - wow that's quite the story.ReplyDelete
Timeteo - oh yeah I remember those people from school. Your story painted a very vivid picture for me of the reason why I was glad to leave it behind and why I would never go back. Nicely done my friend.
What a story! What a strange dude! Maybe your first mistake was accepting a ride from someone who was driving a hearse! (Thanks for sharing, and your lovely comment.)
Unfortunately, it seems that things have changed for the worse for many kids in the hell holes we call our public schools.

hi tim im still around havent gone to pot lol whatever that is have a great weekend xxjenReplyDelete
Poor Elaine! She was just some crazy, mixed-up kid. That said, I've had more than my share of Elaines (except they were more like Eliases, because they were male) and yup, it does feel good to know you dodged a bullet.ReplyDelete
Another term would be "gone to seed." But I can see you haven't done that !!!
Yeah, I forgive her. At that age, we can give someone the benefit of the doubt. The adults...not so sure.
oh my, sweet memories, glad that you can still get inspired by tv news and write about your experiences to share.ReplyDelete
excellent story.
Thanks for linking.
ouch! wow! how sad! internet sure can suck though :(ReplyDelete
enjoy gooseberry day!
Interesting story that many can relate to. Lots of strange things go on in the lifes of teens, then they grow up.ReplyDelete

hi tim just called by to wish you a dreamy week xxjenReplyDelete
loved your story tim - could've read on forever and ever...just recently met a guy i was very close with once and last time i saw him was 25 years ago...but he just looked the same somehow and that brought me a bit out of balance..ReplyDelete
Oh yes...I have shared that triumph. I've come to learn some burn through their glory days very young, before they even have a sense of what is passing them by, I welcomed my own glory days years later...but that's a story for another blog ;) LOVED your share! and the fact you passed on sloppy seconds :DReplyDelete
MORNING, LBTL, MARBLES, KAYSALADY:ReplyDelete
No, we can never go back...except in our reverie.
Except at the time, it didn't occur to me to just slough it off and say it'll be fodder for writing someday! Hindsight is 20/20, but foresight is always lacking aplenty.
Thanks, dreamy lady!
For some reason, I never run into old flames...or is it that they take rigorous
measures to avoid me?
SLOPPY SECONDS... HA ! Haven't heard that one in many a moon. You are truly cool, lady!
Loved this read, Tim ... OMG! Memories of good times, vivid colours, twisted thoughts, patchouli smells, Janis, Jim ... no regrets, man, no regrets ever. Love, cat.ReplyDelete
you win! I like it when the good guys win.ReplyDelete
Wise decision indeed. Funny how you look at things years later and think how things could have gone way differently if one little decision was made another way. Great story.ReplyDelete
I, too, love it when the good guy wins. I also love your writing! Fantastic!ReplyDelete
I love the openness of your 'confession'...it speaks volumes to your memory and maturity and introspection, which I think was also there long ago it seems...ReplyDelete

Funny how we can define ourselves with a little age and experience under our belts, looking back to realize our emotions as an awkward teenager really weren't that awkward at all. In fact, I think yours were commendable. I'm a fence sitter, though Timoteo. My emotions run on both sides. On one side there is no question that she would have crushed my heart, because that embrace would have meant a lot more to me than apparently it did to her. I think there is a good chance that I would have been preparing to give her my total self, and see where it would lead. But then to see her doing the same thing with other guys...... It would have made me feel foolish, as though I wasn't "hip" or "cool" enough to go with the flow, to just use each other like machines. But then there is the other side of the fence: I would have ______ the ____ out of that girl anyway. I just never would have respected her in any way. And really, what's the difference? Because I think you lost respect for her too. But this is definitely a beautifully written story and I enjoyed it from top to bottom..... :)ReplyDelete
SHEILA, PAT, MARI,ReplyDelete
Thanks dudes!
I so appreciate your insightful comment.

In honor of Black History Month, we are daily posting key articles from the Horn Book archives about the African American experience in children's and young adult literature. Up today: Augusta Baker's "The Changing Image of the Black in Children's Literature," a speech she gave in 1974 in honor of the Horn Book's fiftieth anniversary, and an excellent summation of how far African American children's literature had come since she compiled her first bibliography on the topic in 1938. I hope you enjoy Baker's astute survey and all the valuable contributions website editors Elissa Gershowitz and Katie Bircher are uncovering, each tagged HBBlackHistoryMonth16.

After Legacy Gallery, now The Artery, XMALIA, Sheer Madness Gallery, and Grass Gallery are closing their doors.
Dozens of artists were asked to interact with the empty storefronts of North Adams embracing the city as both a canvas and vessel. The resulting festival has been making a large impact from its empty space on Main, Holden and Eagle Street thanks to a series of art exhibitions, performances, classes and workshops.
DownStreet Art collaborations often extend beyond gallery spaces, establishing themselves as active members of the art community in downtown North Adams and beyond. The mission of DownStreet Art continues to be "filling a hole in the downtown community," and the idea of community figures centrally into the art scene, in a wide variety of contexts of channels.

|[en] Delta-9 desaturase ; Genetic parameters ; Dairy Cattle
|[en] Dairy and beef products account for a large part of fat intake in human nutrition and therefore can be linked to dietary diseases. The stearoyl Coenzyme-A desaturase 9 (delta-9) gene was identified as a potential functional candidate gene affecting milk fat composition in dairy cattle. The objective of this research was to estimate the genetic parameters of delta-9 activity indicator traits and to study the relationship between delta-9 activity as described by these indicator traits and common milk production traits. A total of 126,331 test-day records were obtained from 14,259 Holstein (> 84% Holstein gene) heifers belonging to 105 herds. The studied traits were milk yield, percentages of fat and protein, content of monounsaturated fatty acids, and 3 ratios reflecting the delta-9 activity (C14:1/ C14:0; C16:1/C16:0 and C18:1/C18). The used model was a multiple-trait random regressions test-day model and included as fixed effects: herd x date of test, class of age, and month x year. Random effects were herd x year of calving, permanent environmental, additive genetic, and residual effects. The fatty acid contents were estimated by mid-infrared spectrometry. Delta-9 activity varied within year and lactation. The obtained heritability estimates of delta-9 as well as the genetic and phenotypic correlation varied also through lactation. This study suggests potential improvements of delta-9 activity and subsequently milk fat composition can be achieved by animal management but also by breeding and animal selection.

Frank Sinatra's fourth, and last, wife of 22 years, Barbara, says her husband took "about 12 showers a day and always smelled of lavender," sometimes mixed with Jack Daniels and Camel cigarettes. He was romantic, and a dangerous drunk. When she saw the gin bottle she left the room. Barbara Sinatra says her husband absolutely never apologized to anybody for anything. She ignored his infidelity, and Lady Blue Eyes loved Old Blue Eyes dearly. See the video at Daily Mail

Nebraska CNA Training
In the current economy, a person needs more than motivation and good intentions to land a job that will allow him or her to provide for their family in the long term. Anyone who has always wanted to work in an industry where you can help people achieve happier, healthier lives, it might be time to consider Nebraska CNA classes. Most CNAs find jobs in nursing homes, hospitals, walk-in clinics, or mental health facilities.
Becoming a CNA in Nebraska
In order to be placed on the Nebraska Nurse Aide Registry, an individual must:
- Be at least 16 years old
- Be able to speak and understand English
- Complete the state- approved 75 hour CNA training program and competency evaluation program within 120 days of employment or 21 hour basic resident care course for intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded
- Not have been convicted of a crime rationally related to the role of a CNA involving moral turpitude
After Completing the Training
If an individual successfully completes a CNA training program and passes both the written and skills exams, he or she does not need to submit an application to be added to the CNA registry. These individuals will automatically be added within 30 days of the registry being
Certain individuals may only be required to pass the written or skills exams in order to be added to the CNA registry and may not have to complete a CNA training program. These include:
- Individuals who are currently enrolled in nursing school. These individuals must submit:
- A cover letter requesting to be placed on the registry based on nursing school classes
- A signed copy of the student's transcripts

- A cover letter requesting to be placed on the registry based on military training
- A copy of his or her training records if the individual is still active in the military
- Abuse Inservice Documentation
- Individuals who have been trained as a nurse outside the United States. These individuals must submit:
- A cover letter requesting to be placed on the registry based on foreign nurse training
- A copy of their certificate of graduation or license translated into in English
- If applicable, proof of passing the CGFNS exam or Canadian Nurse License exam. If an individual has passed one of these exams, he or she is not required to take the Nebraska CNA exams.
- Individuals with a lapsed/inactive LPN or RN license. These individuals must submit:
- A cover letter requesting to be placed on the registry based on having a lapsed/inactive LPN or RN license. This cover letter must also indicate the last time that the individual has worked as a nurse.

Welcome to the Borrius Region, a region rich in history. Many years ago the Borrius region fought a bloody war with the Kalos region. The people of the Borrius region summoned a dark force to help them defeat their enemies; however the war ended in defeat when the king of the Kalos region unleashed the ultimate weapon. With the war over, the dark force was sealed away never to be used again. However, many years later, an evil organization known simply as "The Shadows" is bent on releasing the dark force once again. It's up to you to stop them and save the Borrius region from ultimate destruction.

If you've been watching the news lately, then you are aware that there may be a Government shutdown Sept.30th/Oct.1st., all over Obamacare. The Republican party demand that President Obama either defund it or at least delay its implementation for another year. Of course, if Obama capitulates to delaying it for one more year, we all know what will happen when that year is up: The same bull crap all over again, threats of shutting down the Federal Government.
From what I understand from watching the news, is that should the Republican party actually go through with their threat of shutting down the Government, not only would it throw the US economy into disarray and turmoil, but it would also do the same to rest of the world's economies.
The Republicans are just plain and simply evil, stupid, idiotic, greedy, murderous, elitist, misogynistic, anti-science crap spewers, who are doing nothing but taking up the oxygen of all good peoples.

I really dislike Obamacare - the idea of being forced to pay into a giant health bureaucracy, for people's mostly self-inflicted health problems.
That's a separate issue from the Republicans' tactics.
Laura, then you don't understand Obamacare. not a big surprise, most people don't. i'll make it very easy for you to get over your concern - if you decide to sign up for insurance on your own, it will not be a "giant health bureaucracy". you'll be buying your insurance from a private insurer, like Aetna or Blue Cross or whoever. Obamacare has set regulations for insurers so they cannot take advantage of policy holders. if you have health insurance through your employer you are not being forced into Obamacare. you have your insurance and you'll keep it, only with strengthened policies that favor policyholders.
if you have any other questions just ask. i am a small business owner and haven't had insurance for the past 3 years b/c it's been expensive and doesn't offer true coverage. what's available today is basically disaster insurance. that all changes come Jan. 1.
Matthew Greenberg:
Thank you very much for that clarification. I only hope the others who have replied to this discussion get a chance to read it for themselves.
amazingly, my mother and her husband are dead against Obamacare, even knowing that it will help me out tremendously. that's after my Mom begging me to get insurance for these past 3 years.
he told me a story yesterday- he was talking to a teacher who told him that her insurance was going to cost $600/month for her family under Obamacare. um, teachers get their insurance from the school district. Obamacare won't effect her at all, except to give her free, no deductible, cancer screenings and OBGYN services.
when America doesn't become a wasteland next year and people are happy with their new and improved private market insurance these Republicans are gonna have a lot of xplainin to do.
Actually my personal objection to it is that I get some very expensive drugs for off-label uses and they would likely not be covered by insurance. So I would be paying other people's medical bills and my own.
It's a giant bureaucracy which makes decisions that should be between a doctor and a patient.
But what I was saying in general is that we have a dysfunctional situation in the USA, where people make themselves ill with bad health habits like smoking, excessive drinking, eating junk food - persuaded by intense advertising. We have huge health costs from that. And if you are forced to pay other people's health bills via insurance - you can't personally opt out of this dysfunctional situation.
And you can't even get by with catastrophic insurance, which would be sensible (unless you're young).
I do understand Obamacare, but it still effectively works to entrench the current dysfunctional situation.
"It's a giant bureaucracy which makes decisions that should be between a doctor and a patient."
how so? if you sign up thru an exchange you will not be dealing with any gov't agency. you'll be buying insurance from a private insurance company. if that's the giant bureaucracy you're referring to then i'm afraid there is no alternative.
"And if you are forced to pay other people's health bills via insurance - you can't personally opt out of this dysfunctional situation."
i hate to break it to you but that's how insurance works. all forms of insurance. in this case, healthy people pay for sick people, with the understanding that at some time all people will become sick and need healthcare. for example, when i had healthcare through my employer i never used it. but i paid my premiums every month, knowing full well other people on my plan were using it and some even abusing it. that's just the nature of insurance.
Don't forget that the premiums also pay for those WITHOUT insurance and think just going to the ER is all they need.
good point. we all pay for the emergency care for the uninsured. it's a double whammy too - it's tremendously expensive and it oft causes the treated to go into bankruptcy.
Good point here. The emergency care for the uninsured. People go to the ER and give false information all the time. At my current residence and the previous one also, I have gotten bills and phone calls for people who owe for this treatment and I never had a clue who they really were. They give your phone or address (pulling it out of thin air) to avoid payment.
If we had national health care like France does this would never happen. Why do I say France and not mention a system like the one in the UK? France has the better system and the UK health care is also more expensive.
Matthew, thank you for your valuable insight.
SB, i'm glad you found it helpful. as someone who's about to benefit from the law i think it's important to point out all the misinformation that is so prevalent on this issue. if informed people disagree i'll listen to their arguments. some probably have merit. unfortunately, most are completely lost in this very substantial law.
i admit that i was for universal healthcare, but i'm starting to wonder if some unique combination of private market insurance and gov't regulations may prove to be better than what other countries have done. after all, part of what makes America unique is our blend of private v. public services. maybe the competition of the private market, combined with some basic assurances to policyholders, will make the American healthcare system better than countries with universal coverage.
for me the jury is still out, but i like what i see.
I don't know whether I will personally be better off or worse off when the Affordable Healthcare Act is fully implemented. I could see it being either. It's not easy to calculate. Plus I'm a veteran, so there is the VA to fall back on as a safety net.
But whether I'm for it or against it, is not just about me. I think the country will be better off as a whole.
Right now what the country has is inadequate, unfair, costs far more than other countries, and therefore is paying SOMEBODY far more than in other countries. There are some very rich people, getting much richer, by making the rest of us poorer, sicker, and more unsafe.

When Obama adviser David Axelrod made the millionth joke about Mitt's dog-on-the-roof debacle, his GOP counterpart, Eric Fehrnstrom, hit back with a tweet about Obama's account of eating dog meat in his memoir. Unlike the gentile John McCain campaign, says Weigel, Romney's team is not afraid to throw a few punches at the incumbent.
"The Bubble Wars: Both Obama and Romney are trying to paint the other candidate as out of touch with real Americans," by John Dickerson. The two leading presidential candidates have eerily similar strategies: They want Americans to think their opponent is a snooty elitist.

"Let loose a head-spinning statistic now and then, on how much air, sea, and ground power we could amass on the Korean peninsula while barely lifting a finger," Kaplan advises the White House. But above all, "don't get bent out of shape."

Beards were symbols of power for much of the pre-modern era, and American presidents such as Lincoln, Grant, and Van Buren sported enviable facial hair.

Thrift Store Decorating
The Dining Room
A couple weeks back I "hit the jackpot" at the thrift store and found several good deals.
I got the lantern for $3 and the berry garland (wrapped around the lantern) for something like $1.
The garland was new and still had the original $20 price tag on it!
I also got the little handled bowls in the top of my secretary (below) for $1.
I've seen several decorating ideas on-line that show the doors open on hutches, corner cabinets, etc., so I decided to try a new look and open my doors.
I added a wreath to the right side and a tea towel (with an added burlap heart) to the left.
I'm enjoying the new look my purchases and open cabinet give my dining room.
The Guest Bath
The same day I found the lantern & garland - I found a white cabinet for above the toilet in my guest bath.
The cabinet prompted a bathroom "makeover" using decorations I already had elsewhere in my house.
(It's hard to get good pictures in a tiny, windowless bathroom - but you can get an idea of the decor from these.)
To make this frame: I used a piece of chicken wire and strip of lace across the bottom.
My only purchases for this makeover were a shower curtain and rug totaling $13!
The Living Room
This project has been on my to-do list for quite some time, but I just hadn't found the "perfect frame" ---- until today!
I purchased an old oval frame from a local thrift store, and with a little paint and fabric I turned it into a fun, burlap-lined tray for my coffee table.

S-F Ranch Dining Hall Nearing Completion
February 01, 2015
Last fall, the Greater St. Louis Area Council broke ground on a new 16,000 square-foot dining hall and central commissary at S bar F Scout Ranch. Six months later, the structure has made significant progress and is on schedule to be completed in time for 2015 summer camp.
Located at Camp Famous Eagle, the dining hall will seat over 400 campers, double as a storm shelter and program shelter during inclement weather, and serve as a commissary for all four camps on The Ranch (Camp Gamble, Camp Famous Eagle, Camp Sakima and Swift Base).
Troops will continue to have the option for patrol cooking giving Scouts more options at camp. The dining hall also allows more time for programming and transforms The Ranch into a year-round program facility.
Patrol-style cooking is an important element in the Scouting program offering plenty of important lessons. However, what works for one Scout troop doesn't work for all Scout troops. Think about a brand new Scout unit that has not had enough time to learn how to cook over a camp stove. Sometimes units can't afford proper equipment. Or what about a troop that camps every single month, always using the patrol-style cooking method, that wants to take advantage of valuable program time during summer camp.
For these reasons and more, the Greater St. Louis Area Council is proud to have the ability to offer Scouts options in their summer camp experience.
Check out the timeline below to see the progress on the dining hall.
