The list of adjectives one could apply to the annual Victoria's Secret show is long: sexy, seductive, tantalizing, fabulous. But for Nadja Swarovski, head of the family dynasty, one of them sticks out: sparkling. Fair enough, as this year's show—held this past fall at New York City's Lexington Armory—utilized more than one million Swarovski Elements crystals, to adorn everything from the costumes and lingerie to the stilettos and accessories. The most staggering piece in the new catwalk lineup? A life-size bedazzled boa constrictor.
Without a doubt, the Victoria's Secret and Swarovski teams had much to celebrate. The show marked their tenth year of collaborating, with each camp continuing to inspire the other. "The design team pushes the level of creative to even greater heights with each show, and we are always thrilled to see how the crystal inspires their designs," she explains.
The show opened with Adriana Lima, one of the most famous Angels, stomping out in a barely-there suit of black lace lingerie, having birthed her second child only a few months before. (Every woman in the audience must have felt a twinge of envy, and what the gentlemen were thinking could easily be guessed.) Following Lima came several more of high fashion's sexiest females, including Karlie Kloss, Candice Swanepoel, Joan Smalls, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Cara Delevingne, in a series of looks that ranged from Old Hollywood (think 1940s gowns, lavishly embellished) to Delevingne's cutie candy striper. The show's pièce de résistance—a 10th anniversary edition of the brand's trademark wings—fanned out in glittery glory on the back of beauty Cameron Russell. The live entertainment produced star wattage of its own, with performances from Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, and Rihanna. To steal a lyric from the latter, the show shined bright like a diamond-—with a little help from Swarovski, of course.

"Sterling Business Agents/Brokers is a recognised brand name and leading business broker in Melbourne, Australia established since 1961. Over the years Sterling Business Agents/Brokers has sold literally thousands of businesses.
When you are ready to sell your business consider this: because Sterling Business Agents/Brokers has sold thousands of businesses we have therefore over the years developed thousands of valuable connections. Together with our staff we have established a comprehensive buyer database and referral system as well as forged valuable networks and relationships with other allied professionals such as, Accountants, Lawyers, Buyers Advocates, Finance Specialists, Business and Management Consultants: Who collectively work together to ensure you receive maximum price, premium service, and utmost confidentiality when selling your business.
It is commonly recognised that we live in an age of specialisation where the professional brokers approach pays dividends.
A recent survey of our sales records revealed that less than 50% of all our brokers' sales were made as a result of direct response from an advertisement on a specific business. In other words, more than half of the businesses brokered with our company would not have been sold or could have been sold for a lower price if we had relied solely on direct advertising.
Business owners who advertise their own business must therefore face significant restrictions when trying to sell. It may be that they are unable to find a buyer or alternatively if they have a readily saleable business, it is very unlikely that the best price will be achieved.
There are three main benefits in engaging Sterling Business Agents to sell your business.
1. Access to prospective purchasers.
2. A greater chance of obtaining the best price.
3. A professional approach to the marketing and selling of your business.
The majority of purchasers will always contact an active business broker where they can spend their limited time viewing a comprehensive selection of businesses.
At Sterling Business Agents/Brokers we keep a computerised database of buyers who are contacted on a regular basis and advised of new listings. This thorough approach to broker your business often results in a sale which would not otherwise have taken place.
One of the most difficult tasks of the private seller is to be sure of obtaining the best possible price for the business. Sterling Business Agents and Brokers has a knowledge of the market, the state of demand, and is in a position to assess the value more accurately than the business owner.
Many vendors are out of touch with values and may under-price their business with obvious consequences. On the other hand many business owners have a more than realistic view of their businesses value and a business which remains unsold for a long period can be a costly and frustrating experience.
Sterling Business Agents/Brokers has professional sales personnel with the necessary knowledge and skills to effect a strong sale at the maximum price. Some important areas of marketing are as follows:
(a) Purchasers:
Sterling Business Agents/Brokers will always QUALIFY a purchaser to establish their financial capabilities and ensure the potential buyer is in a position to purchase. A buyer is very reluctant to discuss personal and financial matters with a vendor who consequently can be strung along.
(b) Finance:
Many prospective purchasers are not able to arrange their own finance. Sterling Business Agents/Brokers possess the knowledge of types of finance available, the various sources and the qualifications required for each. In many cases, Sterling Business Agents/Brokers has access to finance which would not normally be available to the purchaser.
(c) Negotiations:
The importance of an experienced third party in negotiations cannot be overstressed. Sterling Business Agents/Brokers is in a position to discuss matters more openly with a buyer and can assess their limits more accurately. Sterling Business Agents/Brokers knows the market and are well armed to negotiate the case for the vendor.
(d) Advertising:
Sterling Business Agents/Brokers are experienced in writing advertisements which take advantage of the features and benefits of your business that will draw enquiry. Sterling Business Agents/Brokers know where and when to advertise to obtain maximum coverage.
(e) Inspections:
Sterling Business Agents/Brokers are on call during the day and after hours, seven days a week. It is expected of us and we are prepared for it. Buyers won't wait — if a vendor is unable to be available for inspections at any time it may be a sale lost at a price hard to repeat. There is no doubt that the owners know their business better than the broker, but very often this is not as important as knowing the buyer and being able to highlight points which are of particular importance to them.
You are probably embarking on the sale of one of your most valuable assets. We are sure that after considering the above, you will begin to realise that when there is so much at stake, it is wise to have your interests properly represented.
We welcome the opportunity of advising you in more detail on the best method of marketing for your business, and hope you will call our management without obligation for immediate and courteous service.

Three Old Dudes and a Microphone

The Beastie Boys are now in their mid-40s. They're not old old, but in the youth dominated world of rap, they are old. Ad-Rock and MCA have grey hair. Mike D doesn't exactly look like he did 20 years ago. They are basically old men compared to some of today's current stars. They released Licensed To Ill in 1986, which is the year that current chart topper Waka Flocka Flame was born. They are aware of their aging status too. Ad-Rock says "Oh, my God, just look at me/Grandpa been rapping since '83!" on the new album.
Hot Sauce Committee Part Two
The Beastie Boys' latest release is titled Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. Apparently, the original plan was to release a two part album, with Hot Sauce Committee Part One being released back in 2009, but it looks like plans have changed and Part One may or may not be released. They released a great album promo for Part Two, with an unbelievable cast and a huge list of cameos. Here's the short version, featuring the song "Make Some Noise."
The Beastie Boys have always excelled at tag team rhyming. If they put out solo albums they probably wouldn't be all that enjoyable. They sound best when they are trading bars with each other and finishing each other's lines. They've also never been the greatest lyricists, but they're entertaining and they've all had their moments of genius. Hot Sauce Committee Part Two is definitely not their strongest effort lyrically, but musically it's great. The majority of the music is played with live instruments, but you can still hear their sample/breakbeat past in the production. They always had a knack for sequencing and structuring songs with lots of little things floating in and out of the mix.
Don't Forget Their Back Catalog
My two favorite Beastie Boys albums are Paul's Boutique and Check Your Head. Paul's Boutique is amazing, simply because of the incredible amount of records they managed to sample on this album. Paul's Boutique came out at a time when sampling laws weren't fully established and it was still kind of like the wild wild west. The Dust Brothers, who also produced monster hits like Tone Loc's "Wild Thing," Young MC's "Bust a Move," and Hanson's "MMM Bop" (kind of surprising), threw a little bit of everything in here. The most amazing part is that it was all done with very limited technology. This was all turntables, tape machines, primitive samplers, and a ton of creativity. There's a great book in the 33 1/3 series about Paul's Boutique that explains a lot of the creation of this record. Check Your Head is the Beastie Boys going back to their roots as musicians and it's a weird mix of rap songs and punk songs that magically never find their way into the dreaded lands of rap-rock groups like Limp Bizkit.
Licensed To Ill has some great songs on it, but overall it's kind of got an obnoxious immaturity about it. I'm sure they'd be the first to admit this too. "Paul Revere" is pretty timeless in my opinion, but some of the other songs have not aged as well. Ill Communication and Hello Nasty were good, but I started to lose interest around this time. I never really gave any of the following albums a fair chance, but I've always liked most of what they do. They've reinvented themselves many times and it's been pretty interesting each time. They've also got a great sense of humor, as evidenced in their music videos and I can appreciate that.
Check out the Hot Sauce Committee Part Two or rediscover one of their older albums. I'll leave you with the Beastie Boys cover of Elton John's "Bennie and the Jets" featuring Biz Markie on vocals.

South Portland voters Tuesday narrowly defeated an ordinance to block tar sands oil from coming to the city. But those against having the thick oil flow through Maine's pipelines are still declaring victory. That's because the city council is holding a workshop tonight to decide whether to enact a six-month moratorium to block tar sands. As Patty Wight reports, the measure would buy time for the council to draft and vote on a permanent measure.
Tar sands opponents Tuesday lost their fight to enact a local ordinance, but they are vowing to continue the fight.
The past two months have been sleepless ones for Burt Russell. He's VP of operations at Sprague energy company. And he says the source of his insomnia was the proposed Waterfront Protection Ordinance - which, he says, was really an anti-business development ordinance.
"It limited the ability of any facility on the South Portland waterfront that carries petroleum to really make business upgrades, enhancements, even maintenance," Russell says.
Russell is not alone in this view. Business and labor groups - even members of the South Portland City Council and Planning Board - opposed the ordinance because its reach extended beyond just blocking thick tar sands oil, which is more difficult to clean up than conventional oil in the event of a spill.
Planning board member Rob Schreiber says he's perplexed that those who favored the ordinance forced a vote on the issue, creating an adversarial relationship, instead of working on the issue publicly through the City Council and Planning Board.
"Being on this side of the camp, I've talked to people about greenhouse gases and fossil fuels, and when everything's calmed down, people are open to a lot more conversation than what others may think," Schreiber says. "So I actually feel really good that something really excellent could come out of all of this."
That's exactly what supporters of the ordinance - members of the group Protect South Portland - believe. Natalie West, one of the lawyers who drafted the ordinance, declared victory on Wednesday, despite the fact the measure failed at the ballot box by about 200 votes.
"I think the great thing that Protect South Portland has been able to do is really raise the consciousness in the community and on the council of the risks of tar sands to our community."
The group has a strong ally in South Portland mayor Tom Blake, who says the City Council is holding a special workshop at 6:00 o'clock Wednesday to vote on a six-month moratorium on tar sands.
Blake told supporters Tuesday night that he believes the City Council will favor a new measure that specifically addresses the petroleum industry. "I am 100 percent convinced that tar sands in never coming to this community," he said.
The draft moratorium declares that no company on the South Portland waterfront can export petroleum products. That effectively blocks a reversal in the Portland Pipe Line that would allow tar sands oil from Canada to flow to South Portland, the final U.S. destination before export.
The president and CEO of Portland Pipe Line Corporation, Larry Wilson, says the company has no imminent plans to bring tar sands to Maine. But he says he can't promise the company will never pursue it in the future.
"Well, my friend from Sprague, Burt Russell, has a wonderful saying about that. 'It's like asking Radio Shack to commit to only sell a Commodore 64,'" Wilson says. "How would their business be today? That tactic of trying to get any company, any corporation, to say, 'I'm never going to do anything different in the future.' I don't understand who that responsible company or corporation would be that would make that sort of claim.""
Wilson says the defeat of the ordinance marks an opportunity for a genuine conversation between all interested parties. If the moratorium passes, they will have six months for that conversation to result in a mutually supported plan.

An emphatic three-length victory in the Coolmore Lexington (G3) on April 11 at Keeneland punched the Preakness ticket for Divining Rod, a dark bay son of Grade 1 winner Tapit making what will be his sixth lifetime start.
Bred in Kentucky by his owners, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Jackson, Divining Rod wasn't unveiled until late November, winning an off-the-turf maiden special weight going one mile at Laurel Park despite racing greenly.
Sent to Tampa Bay Downs for a winter campaign by trainer Arnaud Delacour, Divining Rod was third in his first try against winners to cap his 2-year-old season, and opened 2015 finishing second by a neck behind Ocean Night in the Sam F. Davis (G3) at odds of 28-1.
Divining Rod led for six furlongs before weakening to third in the Tampa Bay Derby (G2) in March, rebounding with a powerful victory over highly regarded debut winner Donworth in the Lexington.

The Food and Drug Administration has approved the first new tuberculosis drug in more than four decades.
Johnson & Johnson's Sirturo is for use with older drugs to fight a hard-to-treat strain of tuberculosis that has not responded to other medications.

We got to spend two days at Doernbecher Children's Hospital last week meeting with some of the most inspiring families and kids. You wouldn't believe the story about 7-year-old Chase who had brain surgery. What he did to give back left me speechless! (Read Chase's story HERE.) We also got to meet Nickkaya in person. We've talked with her mom, Jessica, numerous times on the show and helped get her the medical attention she needs. They drove a long way to meet us and we were so happy they did!
Because of our P1's, we raised over $200 THOUSAND dollars for the children of Portland.
Thank you! Thank You! Thank YOU!

Plastic Packaging Is Good for the Earth? Rubbish!
A New York Times' blogger argues that wasting food is worse for the environment than a bit of plastic packaging that extends its shelf life. Why? Because of the methane food produces when it decays, he says. But the argument is rubbish as composting and buying locally would solve the problem.

The Walt Disney Company
this wiki
The Walt Disney Company is the largest media and entertainment conglomerate in the world, known mainly for its family-friendly products. Founded in 1923, by brothers Walt Disney (1901-1966) and Roy O. Disney (1893-1971) as an animation studio, it has become one of the biggest Hollywood studios, and owner and licensor of eleven theme parks and several television networks, including ABC and ESPN. Mickey Mouse serves as the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company.
The company acquired the Muppets and Bear in the Big Blue House franchises in February 2004, forming The Muppets Studio, LLC (formerly Muppets Holding Company, LLC).
Early Disney/Henson attempts (1980s-1990)
In the early 1980s, Jim Henson considered purchasing the company which was then under the management team of Ron Miller and Roy E. Disney (1930-2009). The idea never went as far as negotiations, but a few years later when Michael Eisner, Frank Wells and Jeffrey Katzenberg took over, the idea was revived. Due to lack of activity with the Muppets after The Muppet Show's run, Disney decided to pass on a merger.[1]
Another aspect that made the deal unattractive for Eisner was that the Sesame Street franchise was untouchable. Joan Ganz Cooney recalled that "In the end... at the end of his life, when he was being pursued by Disney, and very close to being bought by Disney... they had tried to get control of the Sesame Street product as well as the Muppet franchise, and Jim said 'that's a deal breaker'... they should remain entirely separate... He said to me 'I intend to leave with you... in my will.' He wanted it to go on in perpetuity." [2]
Jim Henson again had a desire to sell the company to Disney in 1989, and this time Michael Eisner was more willing to buy the company without getting the rights to the Sesame Street cast (though Eisner did still want to have the rights to the Sesame Street Muppets).[3]
In 1990, Jim Henson died during the week that he was to sign the contract, and his family decided to keep the company private.
After Henson's death (1990-2004)
Many projects were planned; however due to Henson's untimely death, very few came to fruition. Among the Disney/Henson collaborations that have been seen are the 1990 special The Muppets at Walt Disney World (one of the few collaborations to be released before Henson's passing), the stage show Here Come the Muppets, and the theme park attraction/film Muppet*Vision 3D. Among the projects that were made but never shown to the public are the proposed TV series Little Mermaid's Island for Disney Channel, and a segment for The Mickey Mouse Club about puppeteering (this sequence was filmed while Jim Henson was making Muppet*Vision 3D). Also in development were several theme park attractions, including The Great Muppet Movie Ride and The Great Gonzo's Pandemonium Pizza Parlor, and a Muppet takeover of Disneyland, renaming it Muppetland, which were abandoned once the Disney/Henson deal dissolved. The Jim Henson Company also produced Mother Goose Stories, an original series for Disney Channel, which did not air until after Henson's death. Jim Henson had also pitched the series Dinosaurs, which Disney developed and released after Henson died.
Throughout the 1990s The Jim Henson Company partnered with Disney. The Walt Disney Company produced and released The Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island, the first two Muppet movies made after Jim Henson died, and for a time in the early '90s, controlled the video release rights to The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, episodes of Fraggle Rock and Muppet Babies, and other properties, released through their Buena Vista Home Entertainment label (under a label titled Jim Henson Video). In addition, Walt Disney Home Video released a number of Sesame Street videos in the UK. Muppets Tonight was also produced for the Disney-owned ABC network and Disney Channel. Disney also produced Bear in the Big Blue House with The Jim Henson Company for Disney Channel.
All the character illustrators at Walt Disney World were asked to create concept sketches to choose from for the condolence card to be presented to the Henson family from Walt Disney World. Each artist created several.
Disney acquires the Muppets (2004)
The company acquired the Muppets and Bear in the Big Blue House franchises in 2004, forming Muppets Holding Company, LLC (later retitled The Muppets Studio, LLC).
The Walt Disney Company and The Jim Henson Company announced on February 17, 2004 that they had entered into an agreement under which Disney would acquire the Muppets and Bear in the Big Blue House properties from Henson. The parties signed a binding purchase agreement, with the transaction closing in April 2004 after receiving the necessary regulatory clearances.
The transaction included all Muppet assets, including the Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo and Animal characters, the Muppet film and television library, and all associated copyrights and trademarks, as well as all the Bear in the Big Blue House characters, television library, copyrights and trademarks. The transaction did not include the Sesame Street characters, which are separately owned by Sesame Workshop, nor did it include Fraggle Rock and other franchises, which The Jim Henson Company retained. The deal also included non-exclusive production and consulting agreements under which Henson would develop potential new programming featuring the Muppets and Bear in the Big Blue House for Disney. Sesame Workshop has permission from Disney to use old Kermit segments from Sesame Street in new DVD releases, show several Kermit scenes on newer episodes, Play With Me Sesame, online, have Kermit make a cameo appearance on Elmo's World: Frogs and appear on the cover of Sesame Street DVDs such as Silly Storytime and Best of Sesame Street Spoofs!. Lionsgate got permission from Disney to use the Muppets characters on the 2010 DVD releases of Henson's Place, Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting, and Dog City: The Movie.
The Muppets Studio (2004-present)
The Muppets Studio, LLC (formerly Muppets Holding Company, LLC) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. It was formed in February 2004 after Disney acquired ownership the Muppets and Bear in the Big Blue House characters from The Jim Henson Company. The company manages the use of the Muppets characters and trademarks and serves as the production house for many Muppet projects. Since February 2006, the Muppets characters have been built and maintained by the Puppet Heap Workshop.
The Muppets Studio has been managed by Chris Curtin (2004-2005), Russell Hampton (2005-2006) and Lylle Breier (2006-present).
The first major production of The Muppets Studio was The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, a television movie that was already in development with ABC prior to Disney's purchase of the Muppets. The Muppets Studio logo became the signature on productions of the company; web series such as From the Balcony and The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora, television specials like Studio DC: Almost Live on Disney Channel, and A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa which aired on NBC. The logo was also added to home video releases by Buena Vista Home Entertainment (including The Muppet Show season box sets, Kermit's 50th Anniversary Edition DVDs, and other Muppet titles). In 2007, The Muppets Studio collaborated with Walt Disney Imagineering to create the Muppet Mobile Lab. In 2009, the company launched an official YouTube channel, a promotional Twitter feed, and an official Facebook page. In late 2009-early 2010, the Muppets were featured in the Give a Day. Get a Disney Day. campaign for Disneyland and Walt Disney World. In 2011, a new theatrical Muppet movie was released through Walt Disney Pictures, entitled The Muppets, and a sequel is currently in development. In 2012, an interactive game featuring the Muppets, The Case of the Stolen Show, debuted on the newest Disney Cruise ship, the Disney Fantasy.
Other logos;
Before The Walt Disney Company bought the Muppets, there had been a number of references in Muppet/Henson projects to Disney and its productions and characters. In recent years, such references to Disney in Muppet productions have occurred as cross-promotion. The Muppets have also been referenced and have made appearances in Disney projects as well.
- A number of songs from Disney movies have been sung on The Muppet Show, including "Never Smile at a Crocodile", "An Actor's Life For Me", "It's a Small World", "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah", and "When You Wish Upon a Star".
- In Labyrinth, a panning shot of Sarah's scrapbook reveals an image of the fox version of Robin Hood, as seen in the 1973 Disney animated film. A book version of Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" can also be seen in Sarah's room.
- On September 7, 2007, following Disney's purchase of the Muppets, a pin was released for sale only at Walt Disney World, featuring Kermit as Mickey Mouse, Miss Piggy as Minnie Mouse, Fozzie Bear as Goofy and Rizzo the Rat as Tinker Bell.
- In episode 320 of The Muppet Show, during the song "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off, after the lion sings "I like Plato and you like Pluto", Sylvester Stallone says "You can have Plato, and I'll stick with Pluto, and Mickey, and Goofy".
- A Sesame Street sketch parodying The Lion King was introduced as a "Walt Dizzy Film," with a small Warner Bros.-like logo below, and an MGM-like circle with a chicken in the spot of the studio's trademark lion.
- In The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, the "Goofy Holler" is used when the Tin Thing falls through the Wizard's trap door.
- In the Sesame Street Season 42 press kit, Baby Bear's "Monsterbook" profile lists one of his favorite songs as "Bare Necessities" from The Jungle Book.
- In The Muppets, after '80s Robot drives the Muppets wildly down the street to The Muppet Theater to start the show, their car drives past Disney's Soda Fountain and Studio Store.

Her presentation will be held at the Fetzer Center, Western Michigan University, from 8:30 to noon, followed by a networking luncheon (optional), and is co-sponsored by ONEplace@kpl and the Association of Fundraising Professional's West Michigan Chapter. Registration information is available at ONEplace or AFPWM. Put it on your calendar, invite board members and fundraising staff, and register today!
If you aren't yet familiar with Gail, she is always on the lookout for stimulating and, often, counter-intuitive fundraising ideas. Following is a summary of 'pearls' she gathered at the Association of Fundraising Professionals' International Conference in mid-March—and a taste of what you can expect at her April 28 presentation. For the complete idea, follow the link to the originator.
Monthly donors are worth gold to you. On average, they will stay for 10 YEARS. Put the ask right on your home page. The ideal monthly appeal ties a monthly ask to something specific. "$31 a month will do xxxx." (Harvey McKinnon)
You don't make more money by having more donors. The more donors you accumulate – the less profitable your fundraising program. (Penelope Burk)
Restricted asks raise more money. Period. We are holding our philanthropy back, because we are asking for unrestricted rather than restricted. (Penelope Burk)
Put your whole message in the first 150 words. The rest of your copy just backs it up. (Tom Ahern)
Write like you are an outsider to your organization. Get rid of the boring, obtuse jargon. Jargon is a flame retardant! (Tom Ahern)
Add photos while you get rid of words. Create your case or your fundraising materials with the fewest words and the best photos. (Tom Ahern)
Saying, "We can't hire any more staff" is stupid. Each additional fundraising staffer upticks gross fundraising revenue. Period. (Penelope Burk)
Money is the #1 reason fundraising staff leaves. Investing in retention of staff will make you money. Retention boosts profit. Extend young staff from 18 months to 30 months saves you money. (Burk)
31% of fundraisers who are planning to leave their jobs will leave because of an unrealistic "old school" culture of fundraising: ie, "you HAVE to bring in the $ NOW." How much more money could you raise if you took a long term, strategic approach? (Burk)
Success in business is 95% in the management of other people. But we cut staff training first whenever there is a shortfall. Training is essential. There's not enough management training in nonprofits.(Burk)
Allowing a lousy, nonperforming board member to serve out their term is, two words: "Chicken S***" (Simone Joyaux)
Try this: "With your help, all these amazing things happened. And without your help, they won't." You're selling the impact of the donor's gift. (Tom Ahern)
You choose: A case is about the opportunity you're putting in front of the donor. OR A case is about your organization's need for cash. (Ahern)
When dealing with volunteers, you are a psychologist not a fundraiser! (Laura Fredricks)
If he says, "I'm just a plain ole country boy," it really means he is a wealthy prospect! (Eli Jordfald)
Leaders will close or giveaway a program or activity that is no longer profitable and has little impact.
So were these ideas provocative? Would they challenge your status quo? Remember fundraising is changing. Donors are changing. Doing what you've always done the same old way will get you yesterday's results. Go for it! Change is good. Use this article to rattle some cages! –Gail Perry

- "She looks like him, don't she, m'lord?"
- ―Mhaegen to Eddard Stark
Barra is a minor character in Game of Thrones. The young actor or actress playing her has not been identified. She only appears in the fifth episode of the first season and the first episode of the second season. She is the bastard child of King Robert Baratheon and Mhaegen.
Barra is an infant, the bastard child of King Robert Baratheon and Mhaegen. Mhaeghen is a prostitute working for Petyr Baelish in King's Landing. Barra lives with Mhaeghen in one of his brothels.
Season 1
Lord Baelish brings Eddard Stark to see Mhaegen at his brothel. She tells him that her daughter Barra is Robert Baratheon's child, one of his many bastards. Jaime Lannister and his men ambush Eddard whilst he is leaving the brothel where Barra lives.[1]
Season 2
During a purge of the late King Robert's bastard children carried out by the Gold Cloaks, Barra is killed by Lord Janos Slynt before the eyes of her mother and several prostitutes, including Ros.[2]

Family tree
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Barra is identified as an infant with thin, dark hair. Her mother is 15 years old and her name is never mentioned. When Lord Eddard sees baby Barra he thinks of how much she resembles her half-sister, Robert's bastard daughter Mya Stone (who Robert fathered at a young age when they were fostered by Jon Arryn at the Eyrie, and who has not appeared in the TV series so far).
Cersei Lannister accuses Eddard of being drunk after a night of debauchery in the brothel, when he attacked Jaime Lannister in the street. Lord Eddard tells Robert he had only gone there to see the baby, Barra. When a dying Robert makes Eddard swear that he will protect and be a second father to his children, it is Barra, Gendry, and Mya Stone that Eddard thinks of when he takes the oath. However by telling Robert why he was at the brothel while Cersei could hear he has told Cersei of the baby's existence (but Cersei could have been informed about Barra from her spies, so it is uncertain Ned unintentionally caused the baby's death), thus she is ordered killed (the book does not reveal whether any of Robert's other bastards was killed too). It is one of the gold cloaks, Allar Deem instead of Janos Slynt himself who kills the baby, and her mother as well who tries to protect the child. When Janos Slynt is made Lord of Harrenhal, he recommends Allar Deem to replace him as commander of the gold cloaks. However, Tyrion Lannister orders that Deem be sent to the Wall with Janos Slynt. (He sends the captain of the ship that is taking them there a message that if a wave washes Deem overboard it would not be amiss).

The National Weather Service says snow is expected to spread from Mississippi across northern Alabama and Georgia and then up to the Washington, D.C. area. The winter blitz follows days of heavy rain across much of the Southeast.
Snow began falling in central Mississippi early today. Meteorologist Alan Campbell in Jackson says the heaviest snow activity in Mississippi has been along the Interstate 55 corridor.
Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant allowed state offices to remain closed until 10 a.m. Many schools systems in central Mississippi delayed opening until later in the morning.
The last time central Mississippi got at least 2 inches of snow was in February of 2010.
Winter storm warnings are in effect for parts of Alabama, Georgia and North Carolina.
About 1 to 3 inches of snow was expected in the Washington area and parts of central Maryland.

all my PPAs are gone. thats why i cant install any other updates because the repositories are unavailable.
- what should i do to bring the repositories back?
- what command lines or methods should i use?
thank you.
all my PPAs are gone. thats why i cant install any other updates because the repositories are unavailable.
thank you.
This I assume is after a distribution update? if so this is the default action but they will be still in the "Other Software" tab but marked as disabled. You get to this by the edit menu in the Ubuntu Software Centre and select software sources. And check the PPAs you want to enable.
Reload the sources. Ubuntu automatically updates the version from ie. "maverick" to "natty". If a PPA has not been updated for the new version, you will receive errors when you reload the sources. For each error go back and change "natty" back to "maverick" (or whichever version you updated from). This is usually safe as the packages generally work form version to version. Reload sources again and the PPA's should re-appear. You can wait a few weeks and try again with the newer version in case the PPA maintainer has updated his PPA.
All the source files are located at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. You will need root privileges to edit the ppa files. See if you added ppa are there as a file. If they are located there see if the content of files are commented or not. If they are not in the above location you have to manually add the ppas using

A Pitt County model is accused of stealing jewelry from her mother and then pawning it off for cash.
Tyffany Linder, 19, is charged with obtaining property by a false pretense, two counts of larceny and two counts of possession of stolen property. Deputies say her occupation is listed on the arrest report as Monster Energy Modeling.
Deputies say the woman was arrested last Wednesday and then again on Monday. She's charged with stealing jewelry from her mother and then selling the loot at Carolina Gold and Trade It.
So far deputies have recovered diamond rings, wedding bands and a gold bracelet from the pawn shop.
Linder and her boyfriend, Irving Villanueva, were arrested by deputies last Wednesday when they say the two were caught in the middle of a burglary on Elkhorn Court. That break-in led to the discovery of a man's body in a home on nearby Trails End as deputies were checking neighborhoods for any other break-ins.
It turns out the death of Michael Simmons, who had Down syndrome, was a result of natural causes.
Deputies say their investigation into last week's charges against Linder brought about the stolen jewelry and the additional counts against the woman.
Linder was booked under a $75,000 bond.

Bellows' art and personality matched the tenor of his time, touching on many of the most important social and political issues and mass spectacles of the day.
The paintings, drawings, and lithographs featured in the exhibition represent a cross section of iconic images of the modern city (boxing matches, New York street life) as well as less familiar subjects (Maine seascapes, landscapes, WWI, and family portraits). In a career cut short by death at the age of 42, George Bellows left over a thousand paintings, drawings and prints—a daring and original record of America in the early 20th century.
George Bellows was produced by The National Gallery of Art, Washington

X-FAB Expands Analog Options for 0.6 µm BiCMOS Process FamilyErfurt, Germany, March 19, 2003.
X-FAB Group, the Erfurt, Germany-based mixed-signal foundry, has advanced the development of bipolar elements in its 0.6 µm BiCMOS process family and is offering, for the first time, One Time Programmable (OTP) storage functions. These new modules provide a series of advantages for analog applications, while also being fully compatible with the existing 0.6 µm BiCMOS process.
The new XB05 bipolar module, with a maximum frequency (Fmax) of 25 GHz, provides the optimal conditions for implementing applications with 2.4 GHz signal frequency. The advantage for applications which run at frequencies lower than 2.4 GHz is a considerable reduction in power consumption. Newly available, is a MIM (Metal-Insulator-Metal) capacitor. This capacitor's linearity is very high due to lower resistance resulting from two metal layers and a high-grade insulator layer. For the very first time, small to medium-sized EPROM storage for OTP memory can be integrated into the modular 0.6 µm BiCMOS process. The typical size of such EPROMs is 256 bytes.
All newly available technology modules are fully qualified, and the design kit for these new modules is available immediately. It utilizes Agilent's RF Design Environment (RFDE), which includes Agilent's Advanced Design System (ADS) high frequency simulators.
"The new modules not only expand the high-frequency, analog characteristics and programmability of the BiCMOS technology, but they are fully compatible with the earlier XB06 technology," said Jens Kosch, CTO at X-FAB Group. "In order to best exploit its functionality, the XB05 modules are a component of the expanded XB06 design kit. The new process options along with Agilent's design tools optimize the technical options we offer to our customers."
About X-FAB
X-FAB, with headquarters in Erfurt, Germany, is a European, independent mixed-signal foundry. The company has - with X-FAB UK (Plymouth, UK) and sister company X-FAB Texas Inc. (Lubbock, Texas) - three manufacturing sites, with a combined capacity of more than 8,000 8-inch equivalent wafer starts per week. X-FAB has appr. 900 employees worldwide.

I moved my family and business to the shire six years ago as we preferred the country environment to that of a city.
Since moving here I have been frustrated by the council in my efforts to conduct my business for the whole six years.
I have been defamed, slandered and vexatiously targeted by senior staff of the council unnecessarily. I am entirely disappointed of what I see as the lack of opportunities for people in the shire, and I believe I have ideas that can improve the workability, amenity and environment of the shire.
These ideas would make the shire a better place to live, work and raise a family.
I am an electrical fitter tradesman who specialises in recycling and resource conservation. I have owned and operated businesses over the last 20 years, starting my contracting business when I was 19.
I have a young family and intentions of staying in the area and allowing my kids to grow up here.

Maybe you're catching up with old friends over cocktails, watching the play-off game, or recovering on the couch from the night before. Whatever you're up to, Sundays were made for kicking back. Turn these classic culinary duos up a notch with made-for-each-other combinations.
Cocktails & Tapas
Goat-cheese fritters. Fried plantains. Anything that's bite-sized, add it to the spread. For refreshments? Homemade sangria.
Wine & Cheese
Invite your neighborhood connoisseurs for Chardonnay with soft Brie or for Gouda with a full-bodied Cabernet.
Beer & Bites
In addition to your cheesy nachos, try candied bacon. Then bring out those salty-sweet flavors with a lambic or fruit beer.
