Rihanna's Concert Hits Chicago!
Bellas, I'm still on a high from Rihanna's concert in Chicago on Wednesday! Thanks to my friends at Roc Nation, I came back from the Bali Style Summit in NYC (more to come on that soon!) — got off the plane, showered and changed into my fiercest outfit, then headed over to see Rihanna, live in concert at the United Center!
My husband is…shall we say…not so much into pop music in general. So right away I knew the perfect person to take with me. Luvvie! She was TOO excited to come too. Click here to read her review!
From the moment I got my tickets, I knew I was in for something special. Along with the tickets we were given pink wristbands for the riser section on the floor. Plush, luxurious, amazing seats for an amazing show!
The audience was abuzz with excitement. The atmosphere in the United Center was electric. Ladies and gents came out dressed to impress (and yes, as Luvvie pointed out, the high heel struggle was TOO real. Ladies, you can start with a sassy flat or a cute kitten heel if you can't walk in stilettos, don't let anyone make you feel otherwise!)
Rihanna's opening act, BOB, was bouncy and fun. I love his energy and positivity. The ladies were loving Nothing On You, and he set the crowd up with high expectations for Ms. Fenty. AND when he randomly wound up sitting right next to Luvvie during Rihanna's set, he was cool enough to take a photo with her! (I was too shy to ask myself, and trying to take pix of Rihanna and…ah well).
But hey, don't Luvvie and I look cute?
YES that is All of My Purple Life, on sale at MACCosmetics.com on June 21, y'all!! (shameless plug)!
If I had to rank myself from 1 to 10 on a scale of Rihanna fandom, before this concert I would have given myself a six. As a Caribbean woman I think of Rihanna as my island sistren, a chick I would have known and been friends with back home growing up. I don't tend to listen to a lot of pop music myself, so I can't claim an intimate knowledge of all of her songs. But Rihanna has earned her position as the artist with the most number one singles on Billboard. Even if you think you don't know many Rihanna songs, you'd be surprised at how many of her melodies are already lingering in your brain and how many of her lyrics you already know. And will wind up singing at the top of your lungs during her concert.
I encourage anyone who has complaints about the quality of Rihanna's voice during a live performance, to try to duplicate what she does. Rih Rih works the stage from one end to the other. She engages her fans by singing to them, kneeling before them, giving random high fives, and – as you'll see — running into the audience and around the whole crowd to play drums!

HOW AMAZING IS THAT, right?? We were like 10 feet away and everyone was going NUTS. In addition to her own songs, Rihanna did a Prince cover and teased a bit of The Glamorous Life right before her own Sheila E. inspired moment. I loved seeing her do her thing, especially so up close and personal!
So what songs did Rihanna deliver at her epic concert in Chicago?
Pretty much in order it was:
* Only Girl in the World
* Disturbia
* Shut Up and Drive
* Man Down (MY JAM! Rumpapapum, rumpapapum, rumpapapum….)
* Cover of Prince's "Darling Nikki"
* Hard
* California King Bed
* Hate That I Love You
* What's my Name?
* Rude Boy
* Please Don't Stop the Music
* Take a Bow
* Love the Way You Lie
* Umbrella
My camera died. I'm so sorry!
I think Pon De Replay and maybe a few other songs were in Rihanna's setlist as well. It was ALL HITS EVERYTHING. Nonstop action, nonstop fun, pyrotechnics and neon-clad dancers and sexy semi-strippers, and at the end fabulous confetti raining down on us all. Rihanna does minimal between-song banter, but the moments when Rihanna did speak to the crowd, she just seemed like a really sweet young woman who was genuinely thrilled at the love she was feeling from us all.
In Chicago outside after the show, the area by the Nivea bus became a raucous, spontaneous afterparty, complete with a dance off in a sweaty circle of scantily clad girls and boys. Walking down the street trying to find a taxi (which took FOREVER), random groups of teenage girls would burst into song as they walked or rode by in their cars. I know I'm not the only one in the Windy City who's been humming Rihanna songs all week long. She definitely delivered the goods.
When Rihanna comes to your town, I'd definitely say GO if you're looking for a highly enjoyable concert experience, the musical version of a summer blockbuster. I had an absolutely amazing time. And when you're leaving, make sure to pass by the folks who are passing out free travel size cans of classic Nivea cream! I was SO GEEKED about that!
Thanks again to Roc Nation for taking care of me in such spectacular fashion.

So glad you had fun!!!!! Rihanna is my girl. When she first arrived on the scene, I wasn't SO sure how I liked her style. But what I have come to love her so much for, is her KNOWING this (that people like me felt that way), and her "Hate it or Love it" attitude. She really is being true to herself and her style and either you hate it, or you love it. She's not going to change just because people don't like it. She's Rihanna. What you see is what you get.
Wasn't planning on going to her concert, but now you're making me reconsider! LOl….On another note, lovin' that purple lip color!!
I agree with Cosmetic Passion, I like Rihanna but wasn't planning on going to the concert but this review has me curious.
Love the lipstick!!
Sounds like you and Luvvie had a blast and you both look it too.
Your hair looks amazing.
I listen to some of her songs so thanks for this.
Will be at her concert in Barbados in August
I'll be at her concert in Barbados on august the 5th V.I.P $300.00 bds . WELL THAT IS THE LEAST VIP TICKET PURCHASE-LOLOLO BUT I GET MY DRINKS WITH THAT THO ALL NIGHT
I thought that I was not a fan until my daughter gave me her latest cd and just like you said – there were songs that I had exercised to and really enjoyed and had no clue that it was Rihanna.
Great review! I will pass on the concert and let my kids go and enjoy .
The lipglass is looking fierce -
Wow! Rihanna is so unique. I love her voice and power.
I think Rihanna has such great style. I always wondered what her concerts were like and now I am curious enough to go to one.
Loooovvvveee the lipstick color!!!! You make it look awesome, I dont know how it will look on me LOL.
Great review- her camp should hook you up with some Reb'l Fleur for a giveaway
Did you take that pic of her on the drums? If so- awesome shot!
thank you so much,
greetings. -

Yet and still, how does this speak to the quality of her voice? She rarely receives criticism on the other performing aspects that you mentioned, just her voice. And many, if not all, performers "run from one side of the stage to the other," "give random high fives," all while sounding like actual singers. Glad you enjoyed the show, but next time keep your "challenges" to yourself, please.
loved your outfit…that luvvie is a trip! she always have cackling at my computer. i keep claiming i'm not a rihanna fan but i realized the other day i have too many of her songs on my mp3 to claim that i'm not a fan LOL…well to comment on the last post..if you saw her LIVE…you got ears, if you thought she gave you your money's worth then what's the issue?
oops…me cackling
I kept going back and forth on going to the Rihanna concert. She came to Baltimore and not DC and the last time I jumped the gun and bought tickets to a show in Baltimore (SADE), then she opened one in DC. So I skipped the Rihanna show and now the more I read blogs on her concert, the angrier I get that I didn't travel to BMore to see it. Glad you had a great time! (And I'm still keeping fingers and toes crossed that she'll do a DC show sometime soon!)
I believe she performed in Trinidad a few years ago when she probably was still growing as an artiste. I am glad that you enjoyed her show and hope that she will return soon to T&T to perform again.Should she and Marchel Mantano ever do a soca song together ,THAT will be high energy.
Dad&mom -
OMG Bella! I was there too,in the seats right behind the little "lounge" area. it was so much fun and I agree people do give her a lot of slack for her voice but she sounded great live and i think everyone could enjoy it,I brung my boo and he had an enjoyable time! loved this post!!!
I must say tho, Rihanna concert in Barbados where I do live , her concert is almost sold out already , the 1st day the $500.00 luxury vvip tickets came out , all 1500 was gone just like that, and the vip which is for $300.00 all was gone as well , and they print 4000, tickets for that section, and the stand all say 5 of them are all sold out the grounds well , do not even go there , that gone too i think it will hold like well over 10,000 persons, so oh i think they got only a few tickets left over i was told as they had to extend the $300.00 vip section i'm in, now will be holding 4000 persons, so only SOME tickets now @ $300.00 are left over AS WAS ANNOUNCED

THE days of floppy disks, MS DOS, and monitors the size of small sedans have long given way to a new era of computer technology: an era where blogs, downloads, and search engines have revolutionized not only the way people communicate, but the way people live. One small country in Central America is active proof that, with the power of the internet, far-fetched ideas are a lot more feasible than one might think.
May 25th, 2007: The government of the Republic of Panama–a nation 3.5 million people strong, in the midst of a hefty real estate and tourism thrust–passed a law changing the length of a traditional tourist visa. The new law required foreign travelers to leave not once every 3 months as traditionally declared, but once every 30 days. This law elicited an uproar from the country's growing investor community who feared it would be a serious roadblock to the promotion of Panama as a retirement haven.
It became apparent over the ensuing month that the decision made by the Panamanian government lacked adequate research, principally in the possible effects on the status of Panama's expat community, both in-country and abroad. But how, with so many expats scattered all over the globe, was a single cause to be heard? And how, if presented with such a call to action, would a confident government react?
June 22nd, 2007: Enter Prima Panama, a humble real estate marketing and consulting company based out of Panama City. Acting as an advocate for those who would be personally affected by the tourist visa change, this small group made history with, what at first seemed like a futile plan: to create a short online survey examining just how important the new tourist visa law would be to its clients.
June 25th, 2007: The survey took off like a rocket. 100 completed surveys, then 300 surveys, then 700 surveys! The group's blog website saw as many as 10,000 unique visitors a day: each of whom, without a doubt, had something to say about the issue at hand. Nightly updates with photos were posted keeping readers abreast of the day's activities and readers followed them intently. Developers wrote in with desperate pleas, future investors commented with doubt, and Panamanian citizens responded with their own feelings of disgust: the results were overwhelmingly negative.
Link to the updates:
June 27th, 2007: Representing concerned individuals from over 21 countries, Prima Panama willingly became the voice for what had, up until then, been a faceless and anonymous concern. They presented "the book" and their findings to policy makers at a series of meetings and each meeting appeared to go better than the last. Because Panama is such a small country and because the numbers in their study were so sizeable, the team at Prima Panama seemed to cut themselves a path, clear and direct to the top. And impressively, those at the top actually cared about what they had to say.
June 28th, 2007: When high level administration representatives of the President of the Republic called personally to compliment them for their efforts and to ensure a quick and effective policy change, the gang at Prima Panama–along with hundreds of thousands of other Panama-philes around the world–took one giant sigh of relief. In just six short days, a law was made, information was disseminated, a market responded, results were compiled, policy makers consulted, and a change was in the works. Presto!
If, by perseverance, a sloth could make it to Noah's Arc, then the team at Prima Panama figured maybe they could lobby to change the tourist visa back to its original 90 day formula. What they didn't expect was the speed or power of their biggest ally–the world wide web. It was a story of technology and free flowing information in which people thousands of miles away were able to react to an issue in real time. And with that, in the small isthmus of Panama, a grand new voice was born.
About Prima Panama

Their efforts in statistical research regarding the area's investment boom have been one-of-a-kind and their Prima Passport program has established itself as one of the most honest and useful investment tools on the market.

When will you have cd.s in the store that you can purchase? All you have in there is sold out stuff
I'd really appreciate some info on the store. I'd really like to support the site and all, but if there is no update soon, I'm reluctantly going to have to go to Amazon or some such to see if I can locate some stuff I'd like to get that was readily available on the old site but now is not.
Have to buy it, get it shipped, and then ship it out. Need a month's leeway at least.
Even if the response is:" I have no idea when the new store will be up and fully running." Or even: "What you see is what you get with the new store. These titles are the extent of it." I could just go head with a clear conscience.
Will upcoming releases still be in the HDCD format? Like Dave's Picks and others?
Will there be a Dick's Picks bundle package of all the Dick's Picks releases, like there use to be? If so will it be out before Xmas?
Really, many of mine have that.. it displays on my tv. For example I just put in Frank Zappa Hot Rats. it displays:
Disc Artist: Frank Zappa
Disc Title: Hot Rats
Track Title: Peaches En Regalia
Track Type: CDDA
Channel Type: Stereo 44.1k 16b
this is very common but yes not all discs have it but since these are new releases I would think it would have been done since it is simple to do.
but I cannot think of a single CD I own that displays title (as contrasted to track) information when playing on a CD player, so I'm not sure any such standard exists.
Hi, I have the 3 releases of Dave's Picks. They have not been indexed properly so you cannot see track title and other info when playing in cd players. I have tested in an older Sony player and also on my Oppo 95 and both are blank. Computer playback may be displaying the info but thats not how I play cd's. Will the new releases finally have proper indexing? thank you
Anyone know when the fully stocked store is going to be up and running. Christmas is approaching. I'd love to get some stuff before the Holidays, and have those who buy for me be able to get it as well. The JGAB dual release with the booklet comes to mind, the 7 Walkers stuff, etc.
Additionally, do we know anything about the scope of the new store? I'm certainly hoping more than is there now. But more Dicks? More Jerry?
Saw a post that said mid-October was the goal, was/is that still accurate?
send me a PM and I'l put you in touch with licensing. Thanks!
I'm working on a new live music project called, "Deadhead Download". Is the word "Deadhead" trademarked by you guys? If so, how much do I have to pay you to use the term at a concert where I'll get paid 20 bucks and have 50 bucks of expenses?
Also... How much do I have to pay to use/license the "Steal your face" logo?
I am talking about commercial use, but probably will be making less than 50 bucks over the lifetime of the project...

Children's Museum of Science and Technology & UAlbany NanoCollege partner to bring national Nano exhibit to the Capital Region
CMOST's Grand Re-Opening on October 13 to feature launch of permanent interactive
display introducing young minds to the fascinating world of nanotechnology
Albany, NY – Further reinforcing Governor Andrew Cuomo's commitment to providing educational and career opportunities to young people in support of New York's globally recognized nanotechnology industry, the Children's Museum of Science and Technology (CMOST) and the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the University at Albany today announced a partnership to bring the national Nano exhibit to the Capital Region, giving children a unique opportunity to learn science, technology, engineering and math-related (STEM) principles through a fun and interactive experience.
"Guided by the unparalleled leadership and pioneering strategy of Governor Andrew Cuomo, New York is leading the world in building a nanotechnology-fueled economy that is attracting high-tech jobs, companies and investment to New York State," said CNSE Senior Vice President and CEO Dr. Alain Kaloyeros. "We are delighted to partner with CMOST, recognized by Parents magazine as one of the top 20 science centers in the nation, to bring the Nano exhibit to the region and continue stoking the fire of innovation for our next generation of scientists, which is a critical step in developing the highly skilled workforce that is essential in the nanotechnology era."
"CMOST is thrilled to feature the nationally recognized Nano exhibit as a centerpiece of our Grand Re-Opening, and grateful to the world-class College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering for their partnership in making this exhibit a reality on behalf of children who will surely benefit by being introduced to nanotechnology in an interactive, enjoyable way," said Paul Fahey, CMOST Board Chairperson. "We have seen firsthand the power of nanotechnology education and research, led by the NanoCollege, to move our economy forward and provide opportunities across the state. Now, we are pleased to introduce children to the science that is playing a critical role in their lives."
The fully interactive Nano exhibit at CMOST, which was created by the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network (NISE Network) with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), will open to the public on Saturday, October 13. It provides a firsthand experience for children and family audiences, introducing them to nanoscience and nanoengineering.
Through a series of engaging, hands-on stations and activities, visitors are able to build a giant carbon nanotube; use their "spy skills" to find examples of nano products and phenomena as part of several interactive challenges; build a stable nano future on a tippy table; spin disks to compare the effects of static electricity and gravity; and sit back and comfortably learn more about nanotechnology from books and reading boards.
This partnership on the Nano exhibit expands the ongoing programs conducted jointly by CNSE and CMOST, from Summer NanoCamps to activities held in conjunction with National NanoDays, and serves as a further impetus for future collaborations between the organizations.

Take the flowers of shyness,
The fruits of contentment,
Toots of submissiveness,
Young shoots of grief,
And leaves from the tree of truth,
The bark of civility,
And seeds of politeness.
Start grinding them in the grinder of devotion.
Add daily the tears of shame.
Put this mixture into the pan of your heart
And bake it in the oven if fondness
When ready, strain it in the strainer of the purity of the heart.
Mix with sugar of sweet words, cook it on the high flame of love.
When mixture Is ready,
Cool it with the air of fear of Allah (t)
Then use it

Production of The Color Purple puts art school in limelight |
Published Wednesday, February 13, 2013 1:14 pm |
Northwest School of the Arts production of The Color Purple is headed to the Super Bowl of high school theatre.
Mekhai Lee, portraying Mister and Keston Steele (Celie) perform a scene from The Color Purple at Northwest School of the Arts. avontre Booker and Clayton Stephenson are in the immediate background. |
NWSA is the first Charlotte-Mecklenburg school invited to the International Thespian Festival in Lincoln Neb., June 24-29. The last N.C. school to perform at the showcase was Weaver Arts Academy in Greensboro in 1980.
They invite the best of high school theatre, said Corey Mitchell, an NWSA teacher and director of The Color Purple. Thats been our goal for a long, long time.
A panel of theatre educators and professionals invite the nations best productions to the showcase at the University of Nebraska. They are judged on several criteria, including costumes, choreography and sets, with the best advancing to the main stage.
No pressure at all, Mitchell said.
Northwest is the first N.C. high school and second in the nation to receive permission from Theatrical Rights Worldwide to do a musical production of Alice Walkers play. The cast performed in September at Central Piedmont Community Colleges Halton Theater. NWSA went all out for Purple, from the costumes design to bringing in Broadway cast members as mentors. A couple of Broadway veterans with Charlotte ties singers Fantasia Barrino and Stephanie Mills were recruited to teach master classes.
Festival rules require the entire cast and crew to participate, bringing NWSAs travel bill to $131,000. Wells Fargo Foundation gave a $50,000 grant earlier this month to help cover expenses. The cast and supporters are raising the rest.
This is an unbelievable opportunity for great students with great talent, Kendall Alley, Wells Fargos Charlotte regional president told the cast at the presentation. We believe in helping people succeed by helping to get them where theyre going. Theres a goal to be made and thats to get you to Nebraska.
The entire cast, the crew, the orchestra, the costumers and technicians
were taking 92 people, Mitchell said. Im searching for people and civic organizations to talk to. I would love to talk to any of the fraternities or sororities or the Links. Any of those people, reaching out to them and talking to them about the quality of what were doing and the enormity of what were doing.
Along with preparations for the trip, Mitchell is directing multiple productions at Northwest, a magnet school that draws students from across the county. Theatre and classroom work will take up his time on campus but the thespian festival wont be far away. The cast will perform an encore performance on June 15 at Ovens Auditorium, with proceeds going to pay for transportation and lodging in Nebraska.
The cast of The Color Purple is on hold until the middle of May because we start Footloose in about a month and we have Godspell immediately after The Color Purple, he said. Its still directing a full season here at Northwest and all of the other shows we get.
For information on the play on to contribute, call Mitchell at (704) 763-6086 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mom was always ready to get up and go – anywhere – to church, shopping, or just to visit old friends. The changes appeared gradually, she was sleeping so much more, her energy and appetite had decreased and she seemed to be much less concerned with her physical appearance. Although she had just celebrated her 90th birthday, she was in good health, except for the customary difficulties that often accompany aging such as hearing and vision problems. It never once occurred to anyone in the family that mom could possibly be depressed!

While we weren't the closest of friends during our time in school, reminiscing and catching up during all our meetings helped us create a new kind of friendship. As we shared the many things we had in common, marriage, divorce, children, and a multitude of grandkids; we also promised to keep in touch after the reunion. Life does have a way of moving right along and twenty-five years later, now planning our 50th reunion, Helen and I never fulfilled our promise to stay in contact. That is until I received a call from a mutual friend, Helen was in hospice.
"Mom didn't have the usual symptoms of a urinary tract infection, no burning, no odor, no frequency but she did have a profound change in behavior, she slept all day, wouldn't get out of bed and her normal cheerful demeanor became diminished and agitated. I was so concerned that it was something much more serious."
"I have tried, I have given, I just can't take anymore. I am exhausted and feel like I am on the brink of a nervous breakdown. I have never even had one day alone in my home in 10 years."
"We are all aging, but unfortunately, I cannot say with confidence that if any one of us becomes incapacitated that a robust system is in place to protect our person and our financial assets." Senator Gordon H. Smith
Departing on a recent recent business trip I was carrying a heavy backpack and pulling two large suitcases, but it wasn't until I dropped these off at the airline counter that I felt such relief in my shoulders, arms and back. The reprieve from the bags was so significant that for the next few hours all I could think about was the metaphor for baggage and began to reflect on the bags we often carry through life.
So the first three letters got your attention – yes SEX sells – but more importantly sex can provide that much needed connection that is part of humanity. The following quote from the book Older, Wiser, Sexually Smarter encapsulates the importance of the increased need for touch especially in the Golden Years.
"I once attended a Navajo blessing ceremony, held in a tepee on the red sand of the Sonoran desert. The tepee was set up with great reverence, since to the Navajo, it symbolized the womb from which we all emerge, and the tent poles were "the bones of our grandmother." The word grandparents was spoken often and lovingly throughout the ceremony. The group's silver-haired matriarch quietly reigned over the gathering, with everyone else poised to supply her needs. It was a graceful dance of mutual care, with the elderly at the center." Author Martha Beck
The calendar may officially signal spring time while many parts of the country are still covered in snow. Nonetheless as Easter approaches, minds turn to so many bright and beautiful thoughts or as Mark Twain so eloquently put it, "It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want – oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!
Today, 14 million people identify themselves as Jewish, with approximately 40% of these individuals residing in the United States. As with all different cultures and religions, the rapidly changing demographics of the aging population with the added challenges of chronic illnesses, spiritual needs and understanding of their culture are of great importance. Today's Jewish elders, their families and caregivers are searching for meaning, purpose and community within their Jewish traditions.

Math 166
Took her for pre-calc. She teaches very fast and if you stay after class for help she's not that good. Her teaching method is really fast if your not good at math. She also thinks her class is easy and "doesn't understand why kids don't get an A" Yes, she offers extra credit every test but the extra credit is so hard that most people don't get it.
I took Vaughn for a developmental math course. She's very easy to understand and she will not move on unless you understand what she's teaching. She uses MyMathlab a lot so do the work and do her practice tests. She'll give you extra credit if you do them.
prof Vaughn is a great math teacher. I had to start from the basic 4 yrs ago. I donot like Math but she made the class very interesting.l She gives a lot of homework but that is for your development. she is always willing to help you . Very clear and and precise.
She is helpful, but wasn't clear with the homework assignments and the fact that they could boost your grade. You must be devoted to the class to actually pass it.
funny teacher. but not the greatest teaching methods. pay close attention to her methods and do the problems her way and youll be fine. for the final make sure you review all the previous homework assigned. dont even try to text or do anything with your phone during class, youll never get away with it and shell call you out
OHHH MANNN!!!! she will leave you in the dust when she is teaching you. Expects you to somewhat know it already. Class is very hard especially if it is really new. Talks too fast for people to learn. I like a professor who will go step by step to help people learn, well she does not do that for you. Just BAM! and she is done teaching the section.
Mrs. Vaughn is great!!!! I took Developmental Math with her after taking Math 4 and she really helped to grasp concepts with me. She was also very understanding of Learning Disabilities and followed the Modification plan from the Disabilities counselor very carefully. Mrs. Vaughn calls her students "Mr. so and so or Ms. so and so" which is funny.
I totally recommend her. She's funny, quick on her feet, and engages her students. She's very passionate about math and tries her best to get all of her students to pass. Do her homework and pay attention to class and you'll be just fine.
Very good and energetic teacher! my Math 60 was one the best classes I took during the semester.. I highly recommend Mrs. Vaughn
Mrs. Vaughn is energetic, funny, and spends a lot more time helping students than I would have the energy to if I were teaching. Definitely one of my favorites this year.
i looveee ms.vaughn. honestly i hate math & still do (lol) but she really does keep things interesting. & she goes off topic so much it's hilarious. she always quickly goes back tho. i would recommend her to anyone who hates math but has to do it.
she can't teach at all. she always messes up whens she does a problem. she goes way too fast. she is funny but i would not recommend her to others
I had precalc with her and she's absolutly awesome! her class is super clear and easy if you pay attention. i don't know what these people are talking about. she's ALWAYS very helpful and so much fun. you won't ever fall asleep in her class. Love her!
After taking precal and cal, I would defintely recommended finding a different teacher. Like one student said , she made material more harder than it need to be. There really great teacher out there at annandale (for mth)
Not boring but Mrs Vaughn makes the class more difficult than it should be. If you want to be frustrated and lower your GPA, you should take her class.
Mrs. Vaughn is nice and tries to be funny. Unfortunately the comprehension of the material is extremely difficult and she does not do a great job of preparing the class for the exams. The online math homework is not helpful and easily manipulated. Overall I recommend a more helpful and hands on professor.
she is awesome....totally different from boring math professors...Gives homework,lots of extra credit opportunities...awesome personality...You can tell that she loves her job!!!!
she is horrible - stay away- she made the final extremely hard- almost everyone failed
OMG i had her last semester and i can say she's the best math teacher i have ever had. she makes everything crystal clear. she has an amazing personality and her class is an easy A if you pay attention and do my math lab. i never did the optional book hw and got As on eery quiz and test.

Funny Man
BY Jeffrey Hartinger
June 20 2011 6:15 PM ET
Ian Harvie, a transgender comedian based in Los Angeles, is a lifetime comic, but he officially began his career at a small comedy club in Maine in 2002 worked his way around the country, and in 2006 he was handpicked by comedian Margaret Cho as her opening act. Over the past few years Harvie has been not only an activist but also a face for the transgender community. In addition to founding one of the first transgender-based dating sites, www.ftmlover.com, Harvie will return to his roots this summer in Portland, Maine, where he is directing the Maine Comedy Festival and Golf Tournament, which takes place August 5-7. The Advocate spoke with Harvie about his role in the LGBT community, the impact of the younger generation on the fight for gay equality, and how he uses comedy to break down the uncomfortable barriers of every day life.
The Advocate: As a transgender comedian, do you usually come out to your audience at the start of a show, or do you wait after a few jokes?
Ian Harvie: I usually make an audience wait a little bit before I spring it on them. Give them some material that I know will get them laughing and build our relationship a bit. By the time I tell them I'm trans we've already done something as intimate as laughing together. They would likely find it hard to dis me after that, at least not without feeling a little like a complete douche.
Have you ever had a negative experience from the audience due to your role in the LGBT community?
I don't accept "negative" experiences from any audience. Whenever I've felt something offbeat, weird, or dark from an audience member because of their trans/queer-phobia, I've never gotten upset with them, I've only ever said to myself, I'm going to make that fucker laugh. I do and we're good. If you can make someone truly laugh, they are yours after that.

THE YEARNING: "Jukebox Romance", the amazing debut of the british band
THE YEARNING are one of the newest groups to sign to Elefant, where we continue to help give new bands a boost, both national and international ones. They were conceived as a studio project led by Britain's Joe Moore. Many will compare THE YEARNING to bands like THE SCHOOL or CAMERA OBSCURA, and although there are aesthetic overlaps, there are also substantial differences in the way they conceive music and turn it into something very special of their own. Their sound is lighter, maybe closer to Phil Spector's wall of sound, and they give it a dreamy tone with accentuated innocence, some of their songs giving off the sense of young romance in a way that owes its debt to Irving Berlin and Brian Wilson. With the delicious voice of Maddie Dobie (only 15 years old) and the collaboration of Justyna Halas (vocals), Gordon Campbell (guitar), Mark Kiff (guitar) and Zoe Illes (cello), they are capable of evoking some of the greatest moments of Motown, somewhere between doo-wop, pop-soul and the classic sixties sound.
This makes us proud to present their first release, a 10" Mini-LP entitled "Jukebox Romance" that really shows the best of all the good things THE YEARNING have to offer: innocent, exciting, hyper-melodic songs. This Mini-LP has A-side that stars three songs extolling the wonder of sweet, young love while the B-side is focused on the more bitter aspects of relationships. So, "You Make Loving' You Easy" preciously and elegantly unfolds all the sweetness of Dusty Springfield or Blossom Dearie. "Baby Be Mine" is closer to the immediacy of THE MARVELETTES, THE PARIS SISTERS or Little Peggy March, with its small echoes of doo-wop. "The Way You Love Me" closes the "positive" trilogy with a folkier tone, but with the special charm of Skeeter Davis, Sandy Posey and Jackie DeShannon. "Boy Racer" opens the round of sad stories with a melancholy-laden air and marvelous arrangements in the tradition of the best of THE RONETTES. "Kiss You in The Summertime" accentuates the jazz and lounge tones with BEACH BOY-styled harmonies. "Don't Call Me Baby" brings things to a climatic close with its overwhelming, hyper-addictive, catchy chorus.
So we are celebrating this amazing introduction of one of our newest bands, who are ready to leave us all broken-hearted but at the same time thrilled with their unforgettable songs. Pay attention to THE YEARNING's next steps, because their future is beyond promising.

Just Relax: An Advice Column
Silky advises a woman giving a short person a reason to live, and a food-obssessive obsessed with her boyfriend's pussy cat.
By Silky Wilky*
*A note from Brie: I am not Silky Wilky. He is actually a real person, and he wrote this.
Got a burning question? Email Brie and she will email Silky, who will then solve your dating problems.
Q. Dear Silk,
For the last couple of days, this guy I've been dating has been texting me and emailing me and calling me about this three-foot long skirt steak he has been marinating—seriously, it has been a part of our daily correspondence. The thing is,he hasn't ONCE invited me over to eat this steak with him. He even was like, "I hope my cat is hungry, there is SOOO much steak in my refrigerator, and I just have no idea how I'm going to finish it." I got pissy, so I texted him back, "I hope you like cleaning up cat barf."
What gives? Is he ambiguously inviting me over for dinner with him? Is he waiting for me to invite myself over? Should I start spamming him about this duck breast I just bought from the farmer's market?
A. Dear THROWING THE CAT AROUND,
Relax; your boyfriend is just sleeping with someone else. Also, more importantly, never write an email to me with "three-foot long skirt steak" and "my cat is hungry" in it again. You saucy minx….um, I mean, you perv.
Ok, so that said, skirt steak really only needs to marinate for about an hour in the fridge. Marinating for days at a time is unnecessary with this cut of beef. Simply place the steak in a ziplock bag with the marinade and try to remove as much of the air as possible. Heat the skillet over gas to a medium heat, cook for about 5 minutes a side and, Viola! Now you have a perfect meal to share with the woman you are banging. Wait, where was I? Oh yeah- your pissy text.
Silky Wilky Abandons The Dilettante Act and Becomes A Business Man
I had my weekly drink on Tuesday with my mostly fictional neighborhood buddy Silky Wilky, who had some start-up ideas he wanted to run by me.
"I think we should go into business together," he said to open his pitch. "Wilky and Walsh. I have two brilliant ideas."
Then he flipped his feathery, Southern gentleman hair to one side of his head as if to introduce his long-limbed, fair-skinned good looks as a method of persuasion.
"What, pray tell me, is your proposal," I said to him, my eyes on the Cat Power lookalike bartender who was watching us, through lidded feline eyes, as we made our way through a quartino of wine (him) and a bourbon on the rocks (me).
Poet of the Week: Dorothy Parker
My neighborhood buddy, Silky Wilky, a Southern gentleman painter, has very opinionated thoughts on my blog, which he thinks is a waste of time, and also a bit of embarrassment. "Anyone can write a blog," he tells me. "It makes you look like an idiot."
In his opinion, I should be doing more useful things, like getting wickedly drunk with him at James, the fanciest of casual restaurants in our neighborhood, or, as he puts it, "relaxing."
It is his fault, however, that I am writing this post, because he's the one who told me that I would love Dorothy Parker.
