Derek Lam Fall 2011 Beauty Report
Derek Lam Goes Uniformly Gray and White
For his Fall 2011 collection, Derek Lam displayed uniform inspiration — literally. The clothing collection borrowed from uniforms and August Sander photographs, which in turn led the beauty team's direction. Find out more after the jump.
Hair was inspired by pulled-back styles worn by schoolgirls, minus the barrette. Lead stylist Orlando Pita created the look by blow-drying the middle section of hair straight back, then securing it with T3 360° Control hair spray. "I like to do things that look simple but take some work," he explained.
The face's focal point was a beautiful twist on a smoky eye, extending shadow past the outer edges. Lead makeup artist Tom Pecheux for Estée Lauder created the look with metallic silver and shimmery black eye shadows launching in Fall. "Everybody's going for power on the eyes," he said, "but we are looking for something not too dramatic or aggressive with the gray." Models also wore Bronze Goddess Soft Duo Bronzer below cheeks and Estée Lauder Nude Matte Lipstick, which launches later this year.
To complete the look, Jin Soon Choi for Estée Lauder applied a forthcoming Winter white nail polish, Porcelain, on short, round nails. "It's very clean and minimalistic," she said. "It's a simple and clean look."

http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle/fa … r_top.html
I don't know, I think it was a bad business decision. I would rather have her as my banker!
I understand where she is coming from. The same thing happened to me !
I've noticed in some workplaces attractive people who were the ones being promoted. Perhaps it's justice!
Hmmm, I'm sure there's more to the story. If not, I'm not too surprised. Some women just have bodies that look overly-sexy no matter what they wear.
Wow! Is it even possible to look overly sexy?
You're sexy all right, I'll give you that!
Yeah, I just meant, sexy enough to distract everyone around you consistently.
It doesn't take too much sexy to distract me!
I'd hire her in an instant! She doesn't need any experience, I'll train her!
What would you hire her for leeberttea? LOL, you probably couldn't afford her.
But in all seriousness, I would NOT hire her. I have my own interior design business and most of my clients are female. They would take one look at her and run, not walk out of my office. To those who haven't been blessed with her obvious ability for self-promotion, brains, and good looks, she represents a gigantic threat. She represents the girl their husbands fantasize about, the girl they all hated in High School, the girl they all wanted to be, or maybe didn't want to be, or maybe can never be. Either way, she would be bad for my business because she would make my customers uncomfortable, and maybe the other girls in the office as well. The general public relates in a more positive way to attractive people. This has been proven. But there is a line between the kind of attractiveness that is safe, reassuring, and comfortable, and the attractiveness that makes one feel threatened.
Maybe she should try modeling, acting, or Hooters as an alternative career choice.
she was fired bcause she wasnt sleepin with the boss!
I think she's got some "issue" going on, and that, rather than the simple thing of "happening to just be sexy", is probably what got her fired.
Someone can "just happen to be attractive (or beautiful or pretty)", and that's one issue. Then, though, there's the matter of what that person choose to wear to work. In that black-and-white outfit she has on in the picture, it's clear to see she chose a form-fitted jacket and low-necked top under it. The same white top with a neck a few inches higher and a black jacket that wasn't so form-fitting would have created a professional look without being "too sexy" for some workplaces. (She could still dress as sexy as she wants anywhere other than work, but "grown-ups" don't have a problem with dressing in some professional-looking way if that's what their workplace calls for.)
She either doesn't have the "brains" to know the difference between "inappropriate" and "appropriate", or else she is more than aware of the difference and wants/needs to go with the sexier version of outfits. Either way, she's got "some issue" that goes beyond just the outfit, itself; or the fact that she's an attractive person. Her boss was probably fed up with THAT issue.
Too revealing?
We've all seen a lot worse, in terms of "revealing". I just think this particular outfit is too tacky. She's a pretty girl. She could look a whole lot prettier in less tacky clothes. It looks like she's actually one of those former bridesmaids who "cut down the gown, and wore it later". (Only she cut it WAY down and turned it into -- what is that, anyway - a blouse? )
She reminds me of my high school vice principal, to be honest. And there was always talk of her inappropriate wardrobe.
I'll bet as a high school teacher every boy in the class would be paying attention!
Yes-she has the body to pull off these looks. Yes-she should excersise a little modesty at work. In viewing some of the photos, there were a few outfits that would be considered 'work appropriate' but more were not. It occured to me that she is very comfortable in her skin, which is not bad, and also comfortable in front of the camera, also not a bad thing. When those traits combine, it usually indicates that a person would rather be in the spotlight than anywhere else. It seems to me that she is advertising for a modeling position rather than wanting to succeed in the conservative corporate world. I am not saying that there is no place for fashion in the working industry, but that one's wardrobe should reflect the values of one's employer. Bottom line is that workplaces have dress codes and if her revealing wardrobe violated that, then she should be fired when failing to correct, otherwise there was a violation of another sort.
Is that 'before' or 'after' picture?
Sounds like a variation on "don't hate me because I'm beautiful."

text: I was wondering if it were possible to have a thread about other campgrounds around WDW. It's getting harder and harder to get into FW unless you have a reservation a year in advance or more and planning 6 months out seem impossible, so has anyone else stayed in a nice campground around WDW that they would like to share a review of in case FW is booked and you need another campground to go to, or even Universal is there a campground that is nice in that area or Sea World do they have one around in that area ? I have stayed at Tropical Palms but it's been over 15 years so does anyone have a mini review of this campground, is there any others around WDW that are nice ? TIA

I purchased the premium version of the WooCommerce Product Slider. Installed the Themes Add-on but it's not clear to me how I can create custom themes. Where can I find documentation or instructions on how to use the Themes Add-on? I also noticed there's a Filters Add-on. Any documentation on that one?
Sorry for late reply
Can you please here short instruction
simply copy any theme to add-ons themes folder with unique name and changes the slug on style.css file and add the slug on filter hook inside "wcps-addon-themes.php" file
see there is a demo theme named "theme1-addon" already added.
If you still can't figure please let me know.

Greed Monger: crafting focused mmo
My wife loves crafting in rpgs, so she zeroed in on "Greed Monger", which is all about crafting. Its funded already, but thought id post it still.
Inspired by the likes of Ultima Online, Greed Monger will bring back elements of true MMORPG Gaming since been lost in the corporate watering down of this formerly exciting genre, which many of us have been missing for years such as Non-Instanced Player Housing, Rares Dealing, Sand Box Style Skill Variety and much more.
Though Free To Play, Greed Monger will be financially supported by means of a Land Ownership System whereby players will be able to purchase Land Parcels for a price of $20 each for a maximum of 4 parcels per player (Parcel Limit Not Enforced During Kickstarter Campaign Only). These parcels of land will be used by players to build their housing which they will decorate with items they craft themselves. *(Land Parcel Ownership Conditions) If a player ever decides to leave Greed Monger, they will be able to sell their Estates through our Estate Auction Service of which we will take 15% of the final sale to transfer ownership rights to another player.
Housing/Crafting Features
-Launch Day - (Nothing in the world but Land, Animals, Monsters and Nature. You will build the world around you.)
-Non Instanced Player Owned Housing (You buy the land from us, you then build whatever will fit on it.)
-Decorate Your House However You'd Like
-Every Finished Item In Greed Monger Is Player Crafted (Everything!)
-The More Land Parcels You Own, The Bigger House You Can Build
-Greed Monger Is Free To Play
-No Global Chat, Only Person To Person Above Head Chat (It's time to bring back the sense of real community MMO's used to have!)
-Player Vs. Environment Combat
-Player Vs. Player Combat
-Fast Map Travel System (Find a map on the ground left by another player and you will fast travel to their home or shop, provided you have enough food in your pack.)
- Raid Monsters (Some controlled by the Devs)
-Full Player Driven Economy (Auction system will only be used for Estate Sales. Weapons, Armor and other items will be sold person to person only.)

Other Game Features
-Community Events
-Regularly Added Recipes and Plans For New Item Types
-Charge Players Rent To Access Your Land (For Hunting/Harvesting Rares)
-Ages Of Time and Technology will evolve with Population and Economic Growth (Evolve into the space age as a population and you may discover a means to settle new planets! All you will be allowed to take with you is what you started the game with and that's all you'll be allowed to bring back.)
-Ever Growing Housing Style Options For Each Climate.
-Multiple Climates/Landscapes Will Be Available At Launch
-Resell Your Estate For Real Money In Our Estate Auction House
-No Micro-Transactions (GM Fully Supported From Land and Estate Sales)
-No Pre-Defined Skills Trees (Learn all the skills you'd like, but you'll only be able to use a selection of combat skills at any given time.)
-Animals/Monsters Only Drop Materials To Craft Items, Not Finished Items.
You can still donate via their website http://www.greedmonger.com/
Me and my wife both did the 40.oo pledge. She's maniacal when it comes to crafting in MMO's, so this is potentially a reallly good fit for her. Salem is also an upcoming crafting type mmo too, but it has all-PVP all the time, which she has no desire whatsoever for. I can agree with her on that I guess, PvP is pretty annoying.
Becoming a Beta Backer is your way to support Greed Monger and receive an Exclusive Forum Badge and Guaranteed Beta Access alongside Kickstarter Backers. (This is not a game membership subscription replacement)

The lead developer signed this over to a couple of his passionate henchmen ~7 weeks back. Just a few days ago, it was posted on the official forums that the project is dead; money basically ran out and the developers got sick of the flack they were taking for proposing to take on something smaller in scope for funding in the meantime. Link.
This is why I don't back games by small teams anymore, the potential for failure is just too high. Luckily I didn't see this 3 years ago when it was on KS as back then I didn't have that restriction, so I would have backed it… and lost the money. They asked for $30,000 and got $90,000… 3 times what they asked for, and still wasn't enough.

I love my garden. I'm out there whenever I can, trimming flowers, pulling weeds, etc. The other day I was out working in my garden and my dog Roscoe got curious and decided to join me. I have a pile of mulch sitting off to the side and he started playing and digging inside of it. Twenty minutes later, he and I both head inside to take a little break. Without even thinking about it, I let him into the living room without being washed off first and he headed straight to the couch, dirty paws and all.
The upholstery was now filthy. The worst part yet, was that I was having company over the next day. I needed to find a way to clean the dirt off quickly. Because of the fabric used in the upholstery, I wanted to be careful not to use anything to harm the material. I first tried to use a damp towel, but that only seemed to make it worse.
Before I made the mess any worse, I decided to stop and call in the pros. I called up a local Phoenix AZ upholstery cleaning company to give me a helping hand. Thankfully, they weren't overbooked and were able to make an appointment for the same day. I was so relieved.
They came in, did their thing, and left in no time at all. What impressed me the most was that there was no sign of dirt at all! As a bonus, the area was dried and fresh within the hour. What a terrific job.
Thankfully everything had been resolved. The next step for me was to give Roscoe a bath to make sure this doesn't happen again. He doesn't like baths but he deserved one after that incident.
All in all, I'm glad my couch was able to be restored. Next time Roscoe is outside with me, I'll be sure to keep him far away from any mulch.

- "My parents didn't die, the Huntsclan took me from them."
- ―Rose realizes that she has a family
Rose's Parents[1] are Rose's seldom-seen mother and father. Not much is known about them, not even their names.
Not long after Rose and her unnamed twin were born[2], Rose was taken away from her family by the Huntsclan after her dragon birthmark was identified by the doctors. They are not seen again until the Huntsman used their safety to blackmail Rose when it becomes known she was a traitor[3], where they were seen on a video screen eating dinner. Rose cooperated, but in the end once again betrayed the Huntsman by using the Aztec Skulls to destroy the Huntclan.
In an attempt to save Rose, Jake used the Aztec Skulls to wish Rose had never been kidnapped, thus putting her in a normal life with her parents. They moved to Hong Kong shortly after and are not seen again until Jake needs her help in defeating the Dark Dragon[4].
- "Dreamscape" (first appearance, but didn't die in Rose's dream)
- "The Rotwood Files" (cameo)
- "Homecoming"
- "The Hong Kong Longs"
- Rose's parents are only seen in three episodes, and out of all those episodes, only Rose's mother had lines. It seems she's voiced by Jean Smart[citation needed], for her voice is similar to Dr. Ann Possible from Kim Possible.
- With allowance for art styles, Rose's father bears a passing resemblance to James Timothy Possible from Kim Possible.

I dated a chinese girl once and she didn't share that common trait, it got in the way quite a bit.
I heard that most Chinese women in China are Atheists.

Madonna - MDNA Tour: Reportage de fans du concert à Milan.
From Ultimate Concert Experience live from Milan :
Madonna's MDNA tour is definitely the most spectacular show she ever did. With new names on board like Michel Laprise of Cirque du Soleil, Mark Fisher (with Willie Williams on several tours of U2) and Megan Lawson (member of the fantastic Fanny Pak), Madonna is the best performer on stage of all time.
The religious theme intro going into Girl Gone Wild is really amazing with the church visuals, in the San Siro Stadium had to think of the Milan Duomo inside. (watch below)
Madonna is the Queen of Pop !

A Customer Service Representative is a person who interacts with customers to handle complaints, process orders and provide information about an organization's products and services often via multiple channels including phone, email, mail, social media or live chat.
Customer Service Representatives work for a variety of industries so their customer service duties vary depending on what industry they are employed in. For example, representatives who work for an airline may answer customers' questions about their flights and travel itineraries. Representatives who work for technology or software companies may help customers with problems with their computer or computer software. Those who work in telecommunications companies often handle issues regarding mobile phones, cable TV and internet services. It is also common for representatives to update customer or product databases and make changes to customers' accounts. Customer Service Representatives must be familiar with the products and services of the company in which they are employed.
According to bls.gov, some of the daily duties Customer Service Representatives perform are documented as follows:
Here are some common Customer Service skills required for many job postings by companies seeking Customer Service Reps:

According to the bureau of labor statistics, the demand for Customer Service Representatives is projected to grow 10% from 2014 to 2024, faster than the average for all occupations with the largest growth coming from telephone call centers, also known as customer contact centers, where growth is expected to be 39 percent from 2014 to 2024.

I got table name worksheet.
I get the output using this query in my php page.
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * , `issuedwt` - `receiptwt` AS `workloss` FROM `worksheet`")
But i need the 'workloss' field value to be inserted in mysql table.

there's several approaches
run an update statement
UPDATE mytable SET mycolumn = columna - columnb
then you need to run that stateemtn every time you change a value in columna or b for the row(s) that have just been changed
do it in the frnt end, the thing thatr captures the issuedwt` & `receiptwt from the user
but this is derived data, you can get to that value whenever you require, so storing it violates one of the fundamental principles behind relational databases. with modern day triggers and stored procedures you can reduce the risks associated with violating such principles (ie user programs call the stored procedure which behind the scenes updates the calculated value. but you are still exposed to your data being out of step if soemone makes changes to the tableI'd rather be riding on the Tiger 800 or the Norton

As mentioned before; this is derived data and should therefor not be stored in the original table.
However, you may want to store it somewhere if you need to do searches on the values (other databases would simply use a functional index for that) This is where materialized views can help; they are basically a table that holds derived data (or data that is expected to be "derived") which is maintained by triggers or stored functions. Your application writes to the underlying tables and the database updates the view with the new values automatically. This keeps your source tables free of derived data and still gives access to the derived data as if it was regular data.

apple tv
We have a home in the country and use Dish network for TV. I want to cancel that and use Netfilx all the time but we only have Internet access through the iPhone. Will Apple TV work with this? Also, we only have an E connection there, no 3 or 4G. If Apple TV will not work this way are there any ideas of getting it to work without subscribing to some other form of Internet?

"In hunting, man fulfills the demands of his own nature. It is a restorative act by which he demonstrates his elemental bond with the universe. And, it is prompted by love." (Michael McIntosh, Missouri Conservationist)
"I do not hunt for the joy of killing but for the joy of living, and for the inexpressible pleasure of mingling my life, however briefly, with that of a wild creature that I respect, admire and value." (John Madson, Out Home)
"Poets sing and hunters scale the mountains primarily for one and the same reason — the thrill to beauty. Critics write and hunters outwit their game for one and the same reason — to reduce that beauty to possession." (Aldo Leopold)
"All hunting is a kind of love affair. If you can hear a beautiful piece of music without wanting to learn it by heart; if you can see a beautiful woman without wishing to love her; if you can see a fine specimen of game without wishing to take it, you have no human heart." (Denys Finch Hatton, from Colin McKelvie's A Future for Game?)
"You have lent immortality to a beast you have killed because you loved him and wanted him forever so that you could always capture the day." (Robert Ruark, The Old Man and the Boy)
The hunting experience is steeped in a tradition of lofty rhetoric: respect for the animal, communion with nature, bonding with forebears, rite of passage, spiritual nourishment. And, of course, the guiding principle of "fair chase," which states that ethical hunting demands no "improper" advantage over the prey.
Hunting, the hunter says, maintains ecological balance by humanely culling the superfluous. If not for this noble stewardship, fawns would starve when the snow falls. More than that, hunting, according to Boone and Crockett, "conserves, protects, and perpetuates the hunted population." As if not enough, hunters feed the hungry, preserve crops and landscaping, and help protect careless drivers. Hunters are but "harvesters," like wheat farmers, practicing their craft with reverence and honor.
But the ruse is up. The truth lies in celebratory poses, mounted heads, record books, and opening day gaiety. Hunting springs not from need, but from a desire to control, master, win. And to find base thrills along the way. No higher purpose here, no grand meaning (poets, writers, and hunters?), just playtime for boys (and girls) with guns, some overgrown, some not...
From the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation:
"Q: Can I take my young child with me while I am deer hunting? A: Yes, and we highly recommend it! Just make sure the child is not hunting or assisting in any aspect of the hunt (like driving deer). Bring an extra pair of binoculars and plenty of snacks. Have a good time!"
"Young," by the way, must mean really young, for the Empire State's legal age of slaying is 12, with a bow no less. All boys are not, as writer and hunter Robert Ruark claimed, "bloodthirsty savages." That affliction, if present, is imposed by a bloodthirsty parent or other hunting mentor. Children are innately kind and compassionate, not killers at all.
From the Pennsylvania Game Commission:
"Our deer hunters have every right to be excited about the upcoming season. We're in the third year of antler restrictions for bucks and some real wall-hangers are being seen in just about every county."
In 2007, former Arkansas governor and ordained Baptist minister Mike Huckabee said this to an NRA audience: "To watch mallards come in a flock, cut their wings and land but a few feet in front of you on a cold winter day near Stuttgart, Arkansas, is just about as close to heaven as I think one can get on this Earth. And as one who believes, because of my faith, that I'm going to Heaven, I'm pretty sure there will be duck hunting in Heaven, and I can't wait." Duck hunting in heaven.
In NY, waterfowl hunting is highly regulated. No rifles, handguns, traps, snares, or nets. Machine guns and explosives, too, are prohibited. And please, leave bait and poison at home. Curiously, sink boxes - floats that conceal one's body beneath the surface - are banned, but blinds (and ponchos?) are fine. Only paraplegics and amputees can shoot from cars, and "you may not shoot crippled birds when under power." Decoys, yes, but they mustn't be live. Use calls at your leisure, but no electronics, amplifiers, or tapes.
The above rules, of course, have nothing to do with "fair chase," for I'm reasonably sure that guns, blinds, decoys, and calls are unfair to the ducks. In truth, limits exist to equitably maintain a bountiful supply for all (hunters) to enjoy. While many "traditional" hunters decry the canned hunt - where captive exotics (or pedestrian whitetails and pheasants) are offered for sacrifice - as an affront to hunting "integrity," their code of ethics, apparently, is fully reconciled with the hide-lure-fire away (one service boasts it's "as fast as you can load your gun") of waterfowl hunting. The ducks, it should be noted, have no desire to participate in this game; they are simply flying for their lives.
Catholic priest Joseph Classen, author of Hunting for God, Fishing for the Lord, calls hunting and fishing "sacred catalysts" for revelation and guidance: "Having a fishing rod, a walking stick, or a gun/bow in hand is simply a doorway to the true refreshment that comes from being immersed in the beauty of God's creation. While catching a nice fish or harvesting that big ol' buck is the icing on the cake, there are still many lessons one learns while trying to eat that cake."
"Certainly, it is not fun to watch the spark of life dwindle away from a creature's eye, knowing that one is directly responsible for its death. But at the same time there exists a satisfaction, and yes, a sense of honor in being an active, disciplined, gracious, responsible and respectful participant in the cycle of life." But then, betraying his true motives, he says, "...[God] hooked me up with a monster 6 lb 22″ bass!" And (St. Louis Post-Dispatch book review): "He's had triumphs too, like the day he used his bow to harvest a 10-point trophy buck." "Gracious, responsible, respectful"? Specious nonsense. It's a rush, and he knows it.
Worse than inanity, beyond delusion, there is a certain obscenity in claiming respect for a being you've just wantonly blown away. Wanton, because hunting for food - most hunters' default defense - is unequivocally unnecessary, making their violence gratuitous and rendering hollow any favorable comparison to factory farming. In the end, hunters hunt because they like it, all of it - the garb, the gear, the guns, the chase, the kill. Against an animal's interest in not having his "spark of life dwindle away," these jollies pale. As one indoctrinated generation gives way to the next, know this: You are neither predators, nor conservationists, nor naturalists, nor sportsmen. Just killers, for fun.

Pandora Buys A Radio Station, Songwriters' Group Calls It A 'Stunt'
Oh, well, moving on. This week, the Internet radio broadcaster Pandora made what seems like a backward move - technologically, at least. It purchased a local - let's call that a terrestrial - radio station in Rapid City, S.D. The purchase is part of an effort by Pandora to get the more favorable royalty rates that are given to terrestrial broadcasters. But as NPR's Laura Sydell reports, the move has songwriters and composers up in arms.
LAURA SYDELL, BYLINE: This is Blake Morgan.
SYDELL: Morgan's an independent musician ,and his song "Better Angels" was among a number of his tunes that got some 28,000 plays on Pandora.
: The song earned $1.62 in royalties over a 90-day period on Pandora, which is a very typical rate.
SYDELL: In case you missed that, I'll repeat it. Morgan says he got $1.62 in royalties as a songwriter. If his song was played over iHeart Radio, a streaming service owned by Clear Channel, he'd get paid even less. That's because Clear Channel, which owns hundreds of terrestrial radio stations, pays the same amount in royalties for online streaming that it does for broadcasting the same songs. Pandora attorney Christopher Harrison says that's not fair.
CHRISTOPHER HARRISON: Pandora shouldn't be discriminated against simply because we don't own a radio station.
SYDELL: So this week, Pandora purchased KXMZ, a small, adult contemporary station on the main street in Rapid City, S.D. - population 70,000 - in an effort to get the same royalty rate as broadcasters. Those rates are negotiated mostly with rights organizations like ASCAP and BMI, which represent hundreds of thousands of songwriters and music publishers. Back when royalty rates were established, playing a song on the radio was considered a free advertisement for a record. Songwriters and publishers were getting paid from record sales; hence, the lower radio rate. Paul Williams, the president of ASCAP, says broadcasters pay the same in royalties for radio and streaming because those streams account for only a tiny portion of their audience.
PAUL WILLIAMS: The fact is, they're very, very different models. Internet radio and terrestrial radio use music, and generate revenue, in very different ways.
SYDELL: Williams says Pandora's purchase of a small station in South Dakota isn't going to reduce its rates.
WILLIAMS: This is what I would refer to as a stunt - a way to do an end-run, to reduce the price of what they pay just one more, little notch.
SYDELL: It should be said that ASCAP and Pandora are already in court, battling over what the Internet radio service claims are unfair business practices. Pandora, which is the No. 1 Internet radio service, saw over $125 million in revenue last quarter, 55 percent more than the year before. But the company still isn't profitable, in part because it pays over 60 percent of its revenues to acquire music. Pandora attorney Christopher Harrison says if Pandora gets into the radio business, it should pay the same rate as Clear Channel does for iHeart Radio.
HARRISON: From our perspective, what we're trying to do is make sure that we operate at parity with our biggest competitors. And if iHeart Radio's personalized Internet radio service pays a particular rate, we think we're entitled to operate under that same rate.
SYDELL: But the future is clearly in Internet radio services like Pandora. According to a survey by the NPD Group, people under 35 spent a quarter of their time listening on the Internet, in 2012. That's up 17 percent from the year before. Time spent listening to radio went down 2 percent. At the same time, people are purchasing less music. Blake Morgan says the only way for him to make a living, in the future, is for streaming services to pay a fair rate.
: I have a new record coming out. Most people have new records coming out. These are things that we've worked on for months - if not years - and we're simply looking for a fair working wage for the music that we make.
SYDELL: Morgan had a rather public exchange with Pandora co-founder Tim Westergren. Westergren sent out emails to musicians, trying to get them behind Pandora's attempts to even the rates between terrestrial and Internet radio. Morgan wrote back to Westergren, furious.
: He cashes in a million dollars of stock every month, on the first of the month; and he's done so over the same 14-month period that recording artists like me earned $15.75.
SYDELL: That's not likely to change anytime soon. The issue of Internet radio royalty rates will most certainly wind up in court.

Situated 5 minutes south of the Kaikoura Township is the Kaikoura Golf Club, an 18 hole course of some 5352 metres (5853 yards) set in front of one of the most spectacular mountain backdrops one could wish to see.
Established in April 1911 as a 9 hole course the Kaikoura Golf Club has undergone many changes that have taken place since the first course was established early in the 20th Century.
Although the course is short in comparison to many modern day designs, don't let this mislead you into thinking it is easy. Looks can be deceiving and even the most proficient golfer will enjoy the challenges on our links course.
The irrigated fairways at face value are generously wide in most cases, but the nature of the greens, small and strategically shaped, means approach shots must be precise to ensure against getting into trouble. Once on the green you will find reading the surface contours is not easy and often the break will be other than what you perceived.
The new lake on number 13 (old number 15).
The course is well maintained by fulltime green keeping staff and features watered greens and fairways.
A range of clubs including left handed clubs are available for hire and there are also trundlers and several golf carts available for hire.
The clubhouse has bar facilities and light refreshments are available daily. Full catering can be arranged for visiting groups or clubs.
A practice fairway is also available for those wishing to refine their game.
The Kaikoura Golf Club was born on April 9, 1911 when the population of Kaikoura stood at 350. Initially 39 members formed the first season opening when the 9 hole course was then located at the South Bay Domain and criss-crossed the main highway toward what is now the Caves Restaurant.
In the year of 1935, after a lot of hard toil and a wonderful effort by the members, a new 9 hole course (along with completed clubhouse) opened at the present location near the Kowhai River. In 1958 three extra holes were added with a further three holes being added in 1960 extending the course to 5166 metres. In 1963 another landmark was reached with the first complete season of playing over 18 holes.
Increasing membership in 1966, then limited to 108, forced the club to consider a new building and location for the clubhouse. Saturday April 13 1968 saw the culmination of another tremendous achievement for the club with the opening of the new clubhouse at its present location. The course layout underwent a further change in 1977 and other more minor changes followed in later years to improve the picturesque links course.

Russia\'s Bolshoi Theatre Thursday acknowledged that the sensational resignation of its best known dance couple had affected preparations for the premiere of the first full ballet in its restored theatre. In a battle of competing forces worthy of any ballet, world renowned soloists Ivan Vasiliev and Natalya Osipova stunned the dance world this week by announcing they were to join a lesser known Saint Petersburg theatre. The blow was all the more ill-timed as it came just days ahead of the premiere Friday of a new production of \"Sleeping Beauty\", the first full ballet in the historic theatre since it reopened last month after a six-year closure. \"I am sorry that these events have come on the eve of our production of \'Sleeping Beauty\',\" the Bolshoi ballet\'s artistic director Sergei Filin told reporters. \"This has hindered us a little from concentrating on our work.\" Osipova, 25, and her real-life partner Vasiliev, 22, announced they would be joining the Mikhailovsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg, a much smaller house which has made waves recently by focusing more on contemporary ballet. They said they harboured no hard feelings about the Bolshoi but wanted more creative freedom and were finding the fabled Moscow theatre\'s repertoire limited. But their exit has shown up considerable ill-feeling between the Bolshoi Theatre and the well-financed Mikhailovsky, whose revival coincided with the appointment of businessman Vladimir Kekhman as its director in 2007. Filin said Kekhman had phoned him this week and bluntly warned that Vasiliev and Osipova would never be allowed to perform at the Bolshoi again if it made accusations against the Mikhailovsky. Rumours have also swirled in the Russian press that Osipova -- seen by many critics as among the very greatest performing ballerinas alive -- was mightily offended to have been excluded from the cast for \"Sleeping Beauty\". Filin revealed that this was a decision of Yuri Grigorovich, the legendary 84-year-old Bolshoi ballet supremo from Soviet days who has returned to revive the production. The Kommersant newspaper wrote this week that Osipova was \"clearly not one of the maitre\'s favourites\", noting that the tireless octogenarian still had the \"decisive vote\" in the casting of his productions.

Green beans as the main dish for dinner? Stay with us
Sometimes I just crave a big serving of. green beans. You too, right?
Hear me out. Green beans make one of my favorite veggie-based meals. They are loaded with vitamins, particularly C, A and harder-to-get K, and have only 30 calories a serving. But here is the real reason why I love green beans: They are a particularly filling vegetable, thanks to high fiber and a few grams of protein.
So that means that my kids can load up on green beans and add a couple of ounces of rotisserie chicken on the side for a quick dinner that doesn't have them hungry again in an hour.
We'll eat green beans tossed in a little olive oil, salt and pepper and roasted for 15 minutes at 400 degrees, or even simply steamed with a little salt and pepper as a side dish.
But if the beans are the star of the show for a meatless meal, I like a little more fanfare, and do a simple glazed vegetable dish: Cook veggies and aromatics (such as onion, garlic, spices, or ginger) in a little oil in a large saute pan, add a little liquid — soy sauce, broth, or fruit juice work well — and cover the pan to steam for a couple of minutes, and then uncover to allow the liquid to evaporate into a glaze that coats the veggies.
The strategy works for all sorts of veggies, but start with my craveworthy Garlic Green Beans to get the hang of it. Serve this bean dish with some quinoa or brown rice and you really may not miss the meat. But if you want, add small cubes of chicken or tofu to the saute pan first to cook through, or just add some leftover cooked chicken at the end.
Garlic Green Beans
This recipe takes about 15 minutes to prepare and serves 4.
3 cups green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil (or half olive oil and half sesame oil)
1/4 cup minced shallot
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (more or less according to spice preference)
2 tablespoons fresh minced ginger
6 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons honey
Heat a large saute pan, heat the oil over high heat. Meanwhile, place the minced shallot, sesame seed and red pepper flakes in a small bowl, and have the ginger and garlic prepped and ready (separately), too. Add the shallot, sesame seeds and red pepper flakes to the pan and cook until fragrant and sesame seeds are golden brown, about two minutes, stirring frequently with wooden spoon.
Lower heat to medium high and add the minced garlic and cook another minute. Add the green beans and the ginger and saute for two minutes. Add the soy sauce, honey and 2 tablespoons of water and cover to allow to steam for 2 minutes (or longer if you want softer green beans). Uncover the pan, and cook until the liquid reduces down to a glaze, coating the beans. Serve.

How come you can't go into landscape mode in Sense
Great question. I'd like to know too. This is one of the minor Sense items that really bugs me (not sure why though).
Sense won't let you. I'd recommend switching to LauncherPro. I just did this past week and wish I would have done it sooner, have my phone since it came out. I love the Incredible but I'm not really a big fan of the Sense UI. The only drawback to LauncherPro is that you lose the ability to have a fullscreen calendar widget for free. If you get LauncherPro Plus it comes with a fullscreen calendar widget or you can still with LauncherPro and download a separate widget from the marketplace.

Rhino Mask
*Originally published in conjunction with *bespoke* magazine, April, 2014*
Want to be a party animal? Look no further – rhinos make the best party-ers, truly! All you need is some plain cardboard, glue, a marker and some elastic, so you can whack it on yer head.
To make your very own, follow this link to download the PDF printable. Print it onto A4 size paper, then follow these easy instructions!
1. Print or trace onto light card. You can decorate your mask now (probably easiest if you know what patterns you want to do), or after it's assembled.
2. Cut along all solid lines, including the slots to hold the horn and ears on.
3. Score and fold along all dotted lines.
4. Bring the mask together with tabs underneath, and secure in place with tape.
5. Carefully roll the horn into a cone shape, so that the first tab sits directly over the last. Use magic tape (i.e. the type of tape you can draw on; it's also matt, so it's not as obvious as sticky tape) to hold the cone shape together.
6. For each ear, roll the base around so that the first tab sits directly over the last, and hold in place with magic tape.
7. Insert tabs of the horn into the slots and secure underneath with tape. Likewise, secure the ears in place.
8. Add some elastic for a chin strap, and you're done!
