BaByliss Pro 30 Roller Setter
JulietIndianaOk, But Not PerfectClips are great, but my fingers still get burned while Im winding the roller in my hair. Why cant they make a roller that hss a cool place to hold onto?posted Dec 8, 2006Link to this post
ValerieSatisfied StyleThe curlers arrived quickly, in perfect condition. Mine only has one heat setting; I wish that there were two. Nevertheless, it works well on my relaxed hair(Im African American).posted Dec 1, 2006Link to this post
ClaraBabylisspro 30 Roller SetterI really love my new roller set. I originally purchased one for my daughters birthday. She loved hers so I bought one for myself. I loved that it has enough curlers to do my whole head. Im not that fond of the clips that came with it, but I use them on the larger curlers and use my old pin type for the smaller ones. There are only 15 clips and 30 curlers, dont think that makes sense. But the curlers heat up really well. In fact, the first time I used them I found that they were a little too hot to handle. I soon started wrapping the hair around them faster so that my hair protected my fingers. I really love that they are hot enough to set my curls fast and they seem to stay much longer. If you have a problem with handling hot things, you shouldnt buy these. There is no control. As for me I love them, so does my daughter.posted Jun 26, 2006Link to this post
KathyVABabylissThey just dont make hot rollers like they use to. Now days the roller itself melts.posted May 11, 2006Link to this post
JaneVery Good Hair SetterI have a set of hot rollers that are velvet coated and heat up in about 2 minutes. Theyve served me well, but Ive been looking for a set with more large size rollers and a more adequate clip to hold the roller in place. I found that in the BaByliss! Ive got plenty of larger size rollers and the clips that come with this set hold better than any Ive ever tried. Its a very good set, but be prepared to wait at least 10 minutes or more for them to fully heat up.posted Feb 17, 2006Link to this post
BsmithSalida, COGreat CurlsI purchased this product because I have very long thick curly hair and most other roller sets have only 12 rollers. I dont understand why they dont supply 30 clips instead of the 15 that come with the rollers. I purchased the Conair 10 clips to use and they work great with this product. I wish the rollers had a metal core that would retain the heat a little better, but they do a great job of softening my curls.posted Feb 11, 2006Link to this post
ChristinaCharlotte, NCDoes Not Get Hot Enough!I purchased this roller set hoping that spending the extra money meant that it was going to be great. There were different size rollers and easy to manage clips for the rollers. I unfortantly was wrong. The rollers do not get hot enough for my thick hair. Even after rollling twice back to back I did not have any curls or even waves. They did not put enough clips in the set to be able to use all of the rollers at once, bummer. I guess I will go back to using a curling iron until I find a set that will work for me.posted Feb 7, 2006Link to this post
LisaMABabyliss Pro 30I purchased this roller set for my salon, thinking it was going to be great. There lots of rollers and the clips would be easy to work with..Boy was I wrong. There arent enough clips for every roller, and the rollers werent hot enough.It basically gives wave and thats it..Nothn else.Even the small rollers werent hot enough..I got better curl with a curling iron as I had to re-curl every client that I used these rollers on..I ended up throwing them out..the setter was taking up space & collecting dust in my backroom!posted Jan 23, 2006Link to this post
TiciaIrvine, CaliforniaThese Are The Best Hot Rollers Out ThereThe best Hot Rollers I have ever used. You get 30 rollers, with different sizes. They heat up hotter then most out there, without burning your hands or hair, but hot enough to hold even the hardest to curl hair. I know because I have very long hair. I had a woman recently ask me what I use to make my long hair stay nicely curled, and I directed her to Folica.com site and these BaByliss Pro 30 Roller Setters. They are the only rollers out on the market that you can find 30 rollers in one set and they get hot enough for the curls to last.posted Jan 14, 2006Link to this post

Who cares if you don't think it's a flowchart!
People who are concerned with accuracy in terms and who believe that words mean something.
NO! They would never vote to convict Obama.
That is your opinion and it is without basis in fact. If Obama were shown to be ineligible, two things would happen. First, the moderate / center would explode. The support they gave Obama would evaporate. That means roughly 80% of the country would want the issue addressed and resolved within the law. You really think politicians are going to walk away and ignore 80% of the voters on a no brainer Constitutional issue?
It has NOTHING to do with doing multiple things and has EVERYTHING to do with wasting time on BIRTHER things. Got it? No birther issue, no birther agenda, no birther wet dream will ever produce ANY result that ousts Obama. Period. End of story. FINITO.
Funny, that is exactly how Watergate started. Nixon thought it would be nothing, that the investigation wouldn't go anywhere and what happened? He resigned in his SECOND term.
You have an agenda. You don't like me.
Not liking you is an agenda?? Not only is that false, not only do I not like or dislike you, your assumption that I have an agenda in not liking you is giving your self worth a value that is out of proportion to reality.
Generally speaking Jimmy, your arguments in most threads I have seen you participate is "this is what I think - you have to believe me." That is not a great style of debate or a way of winning people over to your side. You are free to dismiss what people say as they are free to dismiss what you say.
Your issue with the flow chart is that you are trying to present your suppositions as fact.
They are not.
Not only does JimmyZ devolve to calling eligibility "masturbation," but he also calls eligibility a "wet dream." It's not just over the top, it is WAY OVER THE TOP. And the despotic (adj. not a name) JimmyZ excuses it because he was making a point?! Really?
So the flowchart...is saying the following. First, pick one Birther issue. Let's choose the "natural born citizen stuff." And now, the question: Did it work? Meaning, did it come to prove that Obama is not a "natural born citizen" (ill defined as it is in the Constitution).
If the answer is NO, it did not prove any such thing, then we're back to the Election in 2012. That simple.
If the answer is YES, then we must impeach the president.
Jimmy, you are, once again, inaccurate in your conclusions about the consequences of a court finding Obama ineligible. Because Obama is ineligible, there is no basis for impeachment. You can't impeach an ineligible president. He will (if found to be ineligible) be arrested by law enforcement and forcibly removed from office, if he doesn't go on his own.
Hey, Clive, thanks very much for your post and your attempt at reconciliation. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed. :) I have said time and again in other threads that there was room for both strategies in the republican camp. Mr. Z has never accepted that olive branch of existence, so here we are. I've even tried to agree to disagree. He cannot do so without making me acknowledge that he is right and I am wrong. Since I don't believe I am wrong (and obviously neither does he), agreeing to disagree never happens either. I don't know why he resists the notion of agreeing to disagree. Perhaps he equates it to admitting he is wrong, which is something he is incapable of making himself do. A psychological case for the ages is our Mr. Z, for he defies all logic.
Diana Shifley said:
Jimmy - too extreme for most of us!!!!!!! It is amazing to me that some can't understand your point of view. or else they just refuse to do so. I don't totally agree with you on the those issues, but I can understand and appreciate your views.
Nice suck-up Diana. Jimmy remunerating you for this (seemingly blind) support? I might be able to appreciate his views if he were able to appreciate mine. The trouble with him is that it is always a one-way conversation. He does not appreciate the thoughts of anyone but himself. He tolerates Jonathan because Jonathan owns this site and Z gets to post his radio broadcasts as podcasts here. Otherwise, he wouldn't have any use for Jonathan either. It isn't that I don't understand Jimmy's views and opinions. Just because I understand them doesn't mean I agree with them. I disagree with his view that only his strategy will work, and no one else need bother to think anything up.
Then you don't know democrats.
Uh huh. Only you can speak for democrats? That should tell you something.
Already has.
Not on the eligibility issue, Jimmy. For someone who wants people to stay on point, you love to veer off at your discretion. The fact of the matter is that some 78% of the people in the country don't believe the eligibility issue. If (and that is a big if) it were shown to be false, do you really think the American people would stand for it? Are you that wedded to your own prophecies?
Since there would be no 80% favoring it, this question is meaningless.
That is your opinion, Jimmy. Mine is that only the 20% hard core left would support Obama. It is amazing that you say his support is eroding on other issues, but if the eligibility issue were shown to be true, you contend the support would rise. That makes no sense.
Republicans will never effect Obama's resignation.
The people will affect the resignation - just as they did with Nixon.
It is yours.
Dream on.
No, it's mostly "this is what is true. Believe me or don't, but I have given you the truth."
Yet this very thread belies that fact. You believe that only one path can lead to Obama being removed from the White House. That was your initial point. Now you note the Fast and Furious debacle may lead somewhere. So despite your own protestations to the contrary, you have already contradicted your initial "truth."
And on Nov. 7, 2012, I expect you to join Robert and Mary and some others and type a message to me: "You were right, I have to admit."
Right in what? That you believe the only way to remove Obama is through the election? YOU don't even believe that.
I think the court case, if it goes anywhere, will be wrangled in court way past the election.
So the election is not the end of the eligibility issue?
Who would have thunk that?

Time Travel Tuesday: Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume
I say all my friends, but in actual fact I knew people whose mothers expressly forbade them from reading this book. Even now, I'm not sure why exactly - none of my friends were from especially religious families, and it's not like you can keep the small matter of puberty a secret forever. Needless to say, a fair amount of lending went on. Lucky for me my mother limited her disapproval to the eye-rolling that accompanied any sighting of any Judy Blume book. Lucky, because this book is a rite of passage.
Since my original copy of Are You There God? was discarded many years ago, I recently purchased a brand new copy to reread. And by new, I mean all-new, updated, replacing-certain-references-that-tweens-today-wouldn't-understand new. And you know what? The all-new me isn't quite sure she likes the subtle changes in the updated version. I mean, I first read this book around two decades after it was originally published. To be honest, certain aspects were outdated then. Take the issue of sanitary belts. I had no clue was Blume was talking about on that one, and had to ask my mum for an explanation. Which I then refused to believe. Because ewww. In the updated version Margaret just buys regular pads like everyone else, which means that entire generations will miss out on ever knowing that sanitary belts once existed. (As well as the trip to the chemist with friends to investigate whether such things are still on sale. Which they are.)
It's not all all-new though. The lady giving the 'what every girl should know' speech at Margaret's school still acts like tampons are something the devil himself invented for women of ill-repute. And Margaret's little gang of friends still wear loafers without socks as if that somehow elevates them above the status of the girls wearing their loafers with knee socks.
But what I really noticed this time around is that this isn't just a book about getting your period. There's much more to the storyline that I'd completely forgotten. Margaret is the daughter of a Christian mother and Jewish father. Since her mother's parents didn't approve of the marriage, Margaret's parents had to elope, and decided that their family would be religion-free. Margaret will be able to choose her own religion when she grows up, but right now she's facing pressure from the outside world to belong to one or the other. Aside from all the stress about puberty, Margaret is a girl who finds religion getting in the way of her relationship with God. Which is, actually, pretty tight. After all, she talks to him on a daily basis. It's a story about growing up on every level – making choices and taking responsibility for your own actions.
Verdict: Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret is of those books that every girl should read. Preferably at the right time, which is probably that point when they're stressing out about all the exact same stuff that Margaret is. I'd also recommend it to older readers looking for a nostalgic trip down memory lane. It's pure gold.

Oh, wonderful review, and it brought back so many happy memories. I think this is my favourite Judy Blume book. I first read it when I was 10, and I do remember Margaret's mixed background - probably because I completely related to it. I also remember not understanding the 'sanitary belt' thing, and thinking it might all be revealed to me when I was older. Of course, it never was. (Er, luckily, I think!) I can't believe they've changed that - you're right!
Anyway, thank you for this brilliant review. - 9 March 2010 21:52
- Rhiana said...
Oh fantastic! I remember reading this! My Mum was a bit prudish and this was my education...only I fully expected to get a belt. I was a huge JB fan, I may have to revisit them all. Are they all updated now I wonder (thinks Forever which was hugely out of date in the eighties but still a revelation)
- 9 March 2010 22:05
- Jessica said...
Ahhh...nostalgic moment! I loved this book and also read it for the first time when I really connected with it because I was just hitting puberty myself. The funniest thing...where I got the book??...my church lending library! Very funny!
Great review. - 9 March 2010 22:53

Lovely review!
I feel like I missed out, never having read this--I wasn't that big on Judy Blume as a preteen. I hear so many good things about her books, I think I really must squeeze in a few, starting with this one :) - 10 March 2010 00:12
- nikki said...
Yes, yes a thousand times YES! AYTGIMM is best book ever about puberty for girls. Judy Blume is freaking amazing and is my hero in so many ways.
When I reviewed this book I made the same point about how much the book is really about religion as much as puberty. Something people tend to not remember.
I think the religious right's problem with the book is mostly that Margaret has a really beautiful unconventional relationship with God, which is nearly ruined when she dabbles in organized religion. - 10 March 2010 00:43
- Katie said...
I had to ask about the sanitary belt, too. My young mind was BLOWN AWAY after finding out about it.
I love Time Travel Tuesdays! - 10 March 2010 01:43
- Shweta said...
Lauren you brought back so many childhood memories. I was gifted this book when I was 12 and I shared it with my friends in school. We all loved reading it.
I agree it is the best book for girls that age. There is so much to identify with. - 10 March 2010 02:44
- Steph Su said...
I read this when I was about 14-15, so I was a little too old, but I still adore Judy Blume's books. Not sure how I feel about this whole update thing though. What does it take away from the book, that they can rewrite scenes for new audiences? Then again, what does it add? Interesting to ponder about..
- 10 March 2010 03:11
- LovesSam said...
Oh, I read this yonks ago and felt exactly the same way. The thought of having to wear a sanitary belt freaked me, I can remember saying to my mum that i'd rather flash the whole school my little boy chest than get my period and have to wear a belt with straps and stuff involved. This is a fabulous review and makes me nostalgic for the days when I anxiously waitied for my boobs to grow and wondering if Adam was looking at me. This has made me giggle so hard!
- 10 March 2010 11:46
- Stacy said...
Ahhh, great review! I remember reading it at exactly the right time AND asking my mom what sanitary belts were too!
AND, I made sure the book was in both of my daughters' hands when they were around 11 too. You're right...it's kind of a rite of passage for all girls to read this book. Somehow she just hit on so many topics in that one book...
thanks for taking me back down memory lane! - 10 March 2010 15:34
- Becky said...
Why have I never read any book by Judy Blume? I think it was because I spent my childhood in a complete fantasy world and not much has changed. This sounds like a must-purchase for the library. I can already see girls recommending it under the table where the boys can't see. I love your TTT Lauren. You're brilliant!
- 10 March 2010 17:29
- Sadako said...
Great post on a great book. I agree with you about the sanitary belt thing--I love reading Judy Blume for a little slice of what things were like back then. Like what if they changed the movie star poster in Just as long as we're together from Richard Gere to...I dunno, Leo DiCaprio or Zac Efron. Shudder.
And agree with you about the religion thing--Judy does all issues so well. - 10 March 2010 19:25
- brizmus said...
wait a sec, they actually went and CHANGED the content of the book? WHY would they do that? Totally uncool, dude.
In any case, I somehow NEVER read this book. I always heard that I HAD to read it, but I was too afraid. I didn't want to know about that kind of thing. As opposed to stressing, I lived in denial.
Still, I'm going to read it. Someday. EVen if it is already 10 years too late. - 11 March 2010 18:20

A short thread on the lkml discussed the lack of a memzero
function in the Linux kernel. Cyrill Gorcunov asked, "could anyone tell me why there is no official memzero
function (or macros) in the kernel?" Arjan van de Ven explained, "it doesn't add value.... memset
with a constant 0 is just as fast (since the compiler knows it's 0) than any wrapper around it, and the syntax around it is otherwise the same." Linux creator Linus Torvalds went on to explain:
"The reason we have '
' is not because the value we're writing is constant - that doesn't really help/change anything at all. We could have had a 'fill_page()
' that sets the value to any random byte, it's just that zero is the only value that we really care about."So the reason we have '
' is because the *size* and *alignment* is constant and known at compile time, and unlike the value you write, that actually matters. So 'memzero()
' would never really make sense as anything but a syntactic wrapper around 'memset

You'll find pesto next to other pasta sauces in the supermarket, both on the shelf and in the refrigerated pasta section.
Turn this extravagant dip into a bounty of goodness by accompanying with lots of green vegetables, such as broccoli flowerets, snow (Chinese) pea pods and green bell pepper strips. Add festive splashes of red with cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper strips and radishes.

This looks amazing, can't wait to try it.
Many thanks for your hard work

OK just had a little play with this. All looks good apart from a few errors:
1. Upgrade link does not work
2. Unless you specify index.php in the url you get an error
Things that could be added/improved:
1. Ability to edit file transfer limits.
2. Editing permissions, one generic update button, eg: make all changes in a section then update to set.
Apart from that a very impressive first release Gonna have a mess with the style sheet now though as green is not really my favourite colourLast edited by florian_fr40; 26-03-2012 at 09:07.

If I just add the url as:
http://mydomain/ts3wi/ I get an error, see attached screenshot.
I have to type url as http://mydomain/ts3wi/index.php
No biggie once it is bookmarked, but for other users loading for first time may see this as a problem.
White style for your TS3WI;
Download here.
Also a Teamspeak Blue style:

Thanks, your welcome
Also when creating a new server to 'auto select' the next available port without having to manually enter the port number would be useful.
--- Merged ---
Login works fine now without index.php in url.
No 'update available' shown if running latest version now.
I had to change the stylesheet paths for images in the blue theme as you changed file structure from gfx/ to gfx/images/.
File path images/gfx/ would have worked better, no changes to existing style sheets would have been necessary then
--- Merged ---
A bug found in 'Server View'.
If server password is set, this shows as 'No'. When you go to 'Server Edit', it shows as 'Yes'.
It would also be good to be able to see the server password that is set in plain text.Last edited by florian_fr40; 26-03-2012 at 09:09.

Best TS3 web app so far!
[bug] only 25 users get listed in the 'client list' page.
[feature] Pages where clients are listed (server groups, etc.), add 'last seen online + times logged in.

Just one comment about the new style system.
The server 'live view' now takes it's styling from the tsview.css instead of from the theme style.css. So no matter what theme is selected the background is blue!
Does not really go with the Gray theme I have just tried.
I have tried removing the styling back to the theme style.css but then the layout gets screwed. This is what I removed from the tsview.css and added back to the theme style.css:
Code:div.content { width:300px; border:1px solid #666666; background-color:#C6D2DE; }

Carolyn "Carrie" Witt wasn't a lawyer, but she was well known in the New Haven legal community.
For 17 years, she was the executive director of the New Haven County Bar Association, where she helped organize numerous bar events and programs. Witt, who had been diagnosed with cancer in 1997, passed away on Dec. 23. She was 50 and lived in Hamden. Her husband, Tom, had died just two years earlier.
"She was the straw that stirred the drink for the New Haven County Bar Association," said New Haven lawyer William F. Dow III, who had worked with Witt to organize a number of bar events over the years. "She was the backbone of that organization. She made it run. She was creative, she was upbeat, she was positive and she was persistent. And she was universally respected for those qualities."
Witt led a team of four staffers in performing the administrative functions of the 1,400-member bar organization, including the management of its $500,000 budget. Working closely with its volunteer board, Witt proposed many initiatives that sought to increase the size and scope of the organization.
One of Witt's better known initiatives was to create suburban sections for the NHCBA in Guilford, Meriden, Wallingford and other New Haven area towns. She also kept the bar association up to speed with social media efforts by creating a Facebook page and Twitter account. Most recently, she was working to make all communications in the office paperless.
"She was the heart and soul of the organization," said Sung-Ho Hwang, a New Haven immigration attorney who is president of the NHCBA. "We're trying to reinvent the association for the 21st century and she was really the spearhead for that. She got us started using technology in the bar association office, to make people less reliant on paper. She was also instrumental in really trying to get young members involved."
Law Firm Staffer
Witt was born in New York City on Jan. 12, 1962. She graduated from Greenwich High School and then from the University of Virginia, where she majored in medieval history and drama. Her first job in the legal profession was a paralegal with David Polk in New York, followed by paralegal work for the prosecutors in the Iran-Contra case in Washington, D.C.
In the early 1990s, she went to work for Wiggin and Dana, where she met her husband, who was an attorney with the firm. In addition to her position with the bar association, Witt was an avid gardener and an active member of the New Haven Junior League, serving as its president from 2002 to 2003.
"The association is a small office, and her imprint is everywhere," said Irene Jacobs, immediate past president of the New Haven County Bar Association, and a partner with Jacobs & Jacobs. Pat Kaplan, who just retired as the executive director of the New Haven Legal Assistance Association, has agreed to act as interim executive director, Jacobs said.
Witt pushed the bar group's members to give back to the community in ways that sometimes went beyond directly benefiting the legal profession, including raising $15,000 annually for a homeless shelter in New Haven. When Hurricane Sandy hit the coastal areas of southern Connecticut especially hard, Witt opened up the office for any member who needed a place to work while power outages were being restored.

Uplifting Story: Countering Penn State's Scandal
By Rich Harwood
On this Tuesday, State of the Re:Union contributor Rich Harwood of the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation shares about one young man serving as an inspiration, offering an uplifting story to counter that of the scandalous tragedy currently inundating the airwaves.
A horrid child-abuse scandal is unfolding at Penn State University, where people's integrity, care of vulnerable children, and betrayal of privilege all are at issue. Today I offer a counter-point: a short, 5-minute speech by Michigan State University's quarterback, where he speaks about privilege and responsibility. In these times, his words are uplifting and worth listening to.
I have been a fan of Kirk Cousins, MSU's quarterback, long before I heard about and then listed to his speech, where he had been given the huge honor to kick-off the Big Ten annual conference. There, he spoke before his follow Big Ten football players and coaches, among others. His speech drew widespread media attention and plaudits. He received an extended standing ovation. Here's why – and why I urge you to watch this short video.
In his speech, Kirk Cousins did not obsess about himself, his football exploits or serve as mere cheerleader for the Big Ten. Instead, he stood tall before all his peers and coaches from throughout the Big Ten and laid down a marker. Remember, Kirk Cousins is all of 23 years old.
He said that playing big-time college football is a 'privilege' because of the platform big-time football provides. He and his fellow players are treated to playing on television – a life-long dream many have held since their childhood; that kids seek them out for autographs; that they are granted opportunities to speak to young kids; and that they have the unique opportunity to come together as players to achieve something that none of them could achieve on their own. In short, each player holds a special place that is afforded to them.
But Kirk Cousins then makes this point: "But it is here in this place of privilege that danger lies."
He asserts that this danger can lead to a sense of entitlement: "The notion that I deserve to be treated special because I am privileged." For Kirk Cousins, it's just the opposite. He believes deeply that such privilege leads to a 'responsibility' – in fact, it leads to holding a greater responsibility because of the nature of the privilege and an athlete's standing in society.
For instance, he believes college football players hold a special responsibility to children. He talks simply, and thus with a beautiful eloquence, about how players can set a standard for how to treat others – that they can embody what it means to be a person of integrity – that they can show young people that excellence in the classroom is a worthy pursuit. He says that players can demonstrate that it is more important to do what is right, than what feels right.
At the end of his talk, with wisdom beyond his years, he remarks: "While I believe that we as players do not deserve the platform we've been given, we have it nonetheless. It comes with the territory of being a college football player in the Big Ten." He then offers this, "May we as players have the wisdom to handle this privilege, and the courage to fulfill the responsibility we've been given."
Perhaps folks at Penn State will watch the Kirk Cousins speech once more and remind themselves of their own privilege and responsibility to others; and they will hear the call to step forward and do what is right. Meantime, may the rest of us, in our own daily lives, listen to Kirk Cousins words, and let them be a reminder of the innate goodness in people, and that we must be vigilant in our response to the forces that weigh upon us each day.
A dynamic public speaker, Rich Harwood is a frequent keynote for foundations and national organizations. He is an expert contributor on national and syndicated media outlets including MSNBC, NPR, The Christian Science Monitor, CNN's Inside Politics, The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, Special Report with Brit Hume, C-SPAN, and many others. He is also the author of Hope Unraveled: The people\'92s retreat and our way back (2005), Make Hope Real: How we can accelerate change for the public good (2008) and numerous studies, articles and essays chronicling vital issues of our time. His most recent written work, Why We\'92re Here: The Powerful Impact of Public Broadcasters When They Turn Outward, is being published and distributed in Spring 2011. You can follow him on twitter @RichHarwood and facebook.com/richharwood.
You can read Rich's posts every Tuesday on State of the Re:Union's website.

Angus T. Jones, 'Two and a Half Men' costar, says show is 'filth'
Angus T. Jones, the "Half Man" part of "Two and a Half Men," has managed to keep a fairly low profile during the hit CBS sitcom's 10 seasons on the air. But now that Charlie Sheen has moved on, he has shockingly become the latest source of controversy for the aging series.

Gregory Sears June 1. The indictment for two counts of first degree mur¬ der came a week after Carroccia's family raised the required 10 percent for his $5 million bond. He was released from the Kane County Jail June 13. However, while the Grand Jury and Kane County Sheriff's Office investigators believe they have their man, no clear motive has been publicly released. Sheriff's Capt. Mike Anderson said investigators are still working out the details of why Carroccia would have killed Sears, who had been a close lifelong friend up until just a few few months ago. Anderson would not speculate on the exact reasons why Carroccia may have shot Sears, but from court doc¬ uments filed by the Kane County State's Attorney, it appears Carroccia and Sears may have been involved in a bizarre love triangle. Court documents allege Carroccia was jealous of Sears. That jealousy may have stemmed from Sears' recent marriage May 17. Speculation includes jealousy over a 17-year relationship Sears had with another woman up until recently, and that Carroccia may have been involved with the woman following the breakup with Sears. There has also been some specu¬ lation from Carroccia's defense attorney Stephen Komie over Sears' will, which had been revised and notarized the day of his death. In See Grand jury Page 2

Woody III
CD (Item 545106) Columbia/Wounded Bird, 1979 — Condition: New Copy
A perfect summation of the Woody Shaw genius in the 70s – bold, righteous jazz – delivered with a soaring, joyous message that's impossible to deny! By the time of this release, Shaw had matured to a point where he was easily one of the most important voices on the trumpet in his generation – a 70s player who pulled together strands of the previous generation – from Coltrane to Lee Morgan to Larry Young – all wrapped up in amazing music like this! The set's a major label date, but it's got a righteous power to rival the best indie label sessions from companies like Strata East or Muse – and the lineup features other key spiritual players of Shaw's generation – including Carter Jefferson on tenor, James Spaulding on alto and flute, Rene McLean on alto, Onaje Allen Gumbs on piano, Steve Turre on trumpet, Buster Williams on bass, and Victor Lewis on drums. Titles include the sublime "Woody III" suite, plus "Escape Velocity", "Organ Grinder", and "To Kill A Brick". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Taylor Swift and Harry Styles (Alequin/Bosch/INFDaily.com)It's on between Taylor Swift and Harry Styles.
In the wee hours of Tuesday morning, the apparent new couple was seen holding hands as they arrived at the One Direction star's Manhattan hotel. It marks their first PDA moment since they started quietly spending time together last month.
Earlier in the evening, Swift attended the Robert F. Kennedy Center's Ripple of Hope Holiday Gala at the Marriott Marquis, where she was honored by her ex-boyfriend Conor Kennedy's famous family for her commitment to social change through music. Although the evening had the potential to be awkward (hanging with the ex's family!), the 22-year-old country singer looked beautiful on the red carpet in an Oscar de la Renta gown with gold embellishments, and she later took to the stage to perform tracks from her latest album, Red.
[Related: Taylor Swift's History Of Being A 'Golden Girl']

After the gala, Swift made a quick wardrobe change into a LBD before leaving to meet Styles. He and his 1D bandmates headlined a sold-out concert at Madison Square Garden — during which one fan tossed her bra at the 18-year-old on stage! — then went to an afterparty at the Hudson Hotel, where Swift joined him. After hanging out until nearly 4:00 a.m., Swift and Styles returned to his hotel. As they exited their car in front of the hotel, Styles grabbed Swift's hand and guided her into the lobby.
Swift (Getty Images)All signs have pointed to a relationship between Swift and Styles. Last month they were spotted holding hands on "The X Factor" set, a tidbit the show's host Mario Lopez shared on his radio show. This past Sunday, "Haylor" visited Central Park with friends. They obviously weren't trying to hide during the park outing — the popular NYC tourist spot draws an average of 175,000 visitors a day.
[Related: Taylor Swift Only Has Eyes for Harry Styles in NYC's Central Park]
Expect more PDA to follow as Swift and Styles will be in New York City all week. They have a couple days off before they both are set to perform at Z100's Jingle Ball, again at Madison Square Garden, on Friday. However, knowing Swift and her relationship track record, they may also be splitsville by then. If that happens, we're sure she'll at least get a good song out of it.

Michael Jordan targeted in Georgia paternity suit; woman claims he fathered her teenage son
ATLANTA (AP) — An Atlanta woman has filed a lawsuit saying basketball Hall of Famer and Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan is the father of her 16-year-old son.
The lawsuit was filed Feb. 6 by Pamela Y. Smith, 48, in Fulton County Superior Court. It requests Jordan take a paternity test, pay child support and share medical, dental and hospital costs that are not covered by insurance.
Publicist Estee Portnoy said Jordan has no comment, and calls to several numbers listed for Smith were not returned Friday afternoon.
The lawsuit also requests the boy's last name be changed to Jordan, and for a judge to order the Georgia Department of Vital Records to issue him a new birth certificate.
Part of the lawsuit requests that any hearing or trial be conducted in closed court to protect the teen's privacy. However, Smith's publicist acknowledged that the teen posted a video to YouTube on Dec. 25, saying Jordan is his father and that he wants him to play a larger role in his life.
"Pamela had no choice but to support her son and his desire to forge a relationship with his father," Smith's publicist, April Love, said in a statement Friday. "That's why she is now speaking out and prompting Michael to do the right thing." Love says Smith and Jordan met in Chicago in the late 1980s.
According to court documents, Smith does not have an attorney and a court date is scheduled for March 12.

Recently, in Gloucestershire:
We had a MadeScapes ^ show recently, in Stroud as part of Site Festival. The plan was to install a MadeScapes ^ show and then live in it for a week or so, working at creating a Utopia on Civilisation 5. Reserves of food and drink were bought up, and tents and sleeping bags rigged up. The lads settled in for the experiment.
Then on the first night Health and Safety came and closed us down. So that was that, no Utopia for us. No Utopia for anyone.

The Trawler
My text for Trawler, a MadeScapes ^ show at Motorcade/FlashParade Gallery at BV Studios, Bedminster…
From an electro-tropical internet basecamp, the lone user trawls the webs of reference, collecting and filtering vast tracts of data into some semblance of self.
"Rather than portraying a decentred, fragmented, disembodied self, personal homepages are actually attempts at identity integration by demonstrating to others what is important to the individual"
Vincent Miller, Understanding Digital Culture, 2011
The trawler no longer seeks to accumulate material goods in order to communicate himself to the world. For the trawler, fantasy comfortably rubs shoulders with reality; the unreal is as real as everything else. A two dimensional rendering of a three dimensional object is three dimensional, and the trawler collects these, tagging them into groups, filtering them into collections: nothing is without relevance. The trawler inhabits the gaps between original thought and plagiarism, where someone else said something that loosely approximated what he was already thinking. The trawler is the latest product of an age when quotation provides the dominant creative outlet; he occupies a space where consumption of everything is faster, easier, and more affordable. In creating his personal homepage, he creates himself; he consumes himself. The Trawler self-curates and makes himself available for consumption by other users.
As his collection builds so his narrative develops, revealing his personal preferences as he curates himself into existence. Even the rejected has its place. As in life, the trawler's work is revealed in front of a live audience, his self-documented narrative – an accumulation of parts of other people's own narratives – is inextricably linked to the loops and fades of the myriad visual and audio samples he uses as his references.
Returning again to locations of interest or relevance, the trawler reinforces aspects of his persona, and as other locations fall out of favour he deletes them. In this sense, the trawler occupies a place to which it is possible to return and remove his footprints.

Founded in 1919, Hartford's Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts is one of the area's leading arts organizations, housing a number of cultural organizations, including the Hartford Symphony Orchestra and the Connecticut Forum. Bushnell is based in downtown Hartford, which boasts a dense concentration of public spaces and arts and culture organizations -- all within a 15-minute walk of each other -- including the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, the Hartford Stage Company, and the Connecticut Science Center. As part of the city's 10-year revitalization master plan, in 2008 the Bushnell Center partnered with the Greater Hartford Arts Council for phase one of iQuilt, a pedestrian network designed to weave together 45 of the city's downtown cultural assets and public spaces.
Its MICD25 grant will help support phase two of the iQuilt project, which will focus primarily on design. Expected activities include landscape design of the GreenWalk intended to connect Bushnell Park and the revitalized Connecticut River waterfront and urban design and enhancement of the existing pedestrian network, including creation of interactive public art and cultural displays and storefront cultural programming. Additional project activities will include a districtwide inventory and analysis of cultural resources and ongoing community engagement.

Yesterday I was actually quite happy to be out in the rain with my partner in crime, Kathy Mason, installing the results of a very lovely project. We were surreptitiously fixing and hiding a complete set of miniature doors and windows recently completed by the year 6 pupils from my weekly art class, into the early years garden area of their school. The idea being that the youngest members of the school might then stumble across these 'Borrowers' styled dwellings and they can be incorporated in imaginative play and also used for storytelling and outdoor lessons.
The project was a joy to work on, both for the enthusiasm of the older children to create the pieces and the anticipation of their being able to display them in such a delightful way. As these children will be leaving the school this year, they have also left a little legacy behind for their younger friends.
The process involved a session of discussion and design, considering the characters who would live behind each door. The doors were then cut out of clay according to the initial designs and embellishments added, before first firing. The children finally coloured their pieces and they were whisked away by Kathy to be fired ready for installation. The final part of the project for the older participants of this project will be some map drawing sessions of the 'secret' locations of all the pieces now that they are in situ.

Post subject: Actual costs vs. fees
Even I have posted the (always expensive) breakdown of what a race weekend costs; entry, tires, fuel, motel, etc.
But I've been doing some thinking about all the discussion of LTN being SOOO expensive. When it really comes down to it, lets figure out what they make:
Entry: $200
** well, this entry included 5 gallons of gas and oil. At best they pay $5 per gallon (mixed), so $25 of that goes straight to the gas guy. So we actually give SKUSA $175 per person. At LTN there were 7 S2's. 7x175=1125. The pay out was at least $300, $200, $100. So 1125-600= $525. So the S2 class paid SKUSA $525 TOTAL.
There is always the pit spot, $75. Which I know SKUSA does not pay Talladega for the spot, BUT Talladega obviously charges SKUSA for RENTING THE TRACK FOR 3 days (I bet it's a lot of money too.) Divide the $75 per person into the 3 days, and we basically paid $25 per day per person. I know there are many of us that happily pay $100 per person per day to rent Talladega, just for testing. By comparison, $25 a day to race is pheneomenal.
So if you consider the $75 going to pay for the track, I bet with a small crowd this DOESN'T EVEN PAY FOR THE TRACK ITSELF.
So while SKUSA is NOT paying for the spot, I bet they are having to pull from the $175 entry IN ADDITION to the $75 for renting Talladega.
If you wanted to ride for 3 days, you'd be hard pressed not to burn at least 2 sets of tires, and 5+ gallons of gas. And you always have to eat and sleep somehwere, these costs can not be "put on" SKUSA.
I guess my point here is just that everybody complains about how expensive SKUSA is. But what SKUSA charges is the least of the expenses. There's nothing they can do about the tires, fuel, motel, etc. The only thing they do for expenses is the entry. I finished 2nd, got $200 dollars, and my whole entry was paid for. IN fact my entry AND FUEL was paid for. So, if you really look at it, SKUSA paid me 5 gallons of gas to come play at Talladega for the weekend.
Writing this was highly enlightening for me. I feel much better now. I hope everybody can see that SKUSA is obviously not in it for the money, and they do a pretty good job of putting on a race. Now, if we could only figure out what took so long to post a schedule...

The cost of racing escalates from a consortium of costs, and entry fee is just a small part. I agree the cost to rent Talladega is pretty big, especially when its split between just a few people.
We compete in a SKUSA Regional Series that is run absolutely first class. But the entry fee has nothing to do with this quality. As a result we pay 3 times the price of other regional series (IKF & KART) per entry, and thats for two of us.
There are other expenses we didn't anticipate such as a bottom end rebuild every 3 races, but thats not due to SKUSA. Its just that with the inflated enty fees we could have paid for these expenses and more.
What would make more money for an organization;
20 entries at $275 each, or 125 entries at $75, and sell fuel seperately.
I get the impression that whoever is setting the entry fees feels that if the racers have enough money left over for a custom helmet paint job, they aren't paying enough money to race. Somehow, I don't think I am alone on this....

I will go back over and over reading Scott's post as many times as I can, but in the end I always ask.
"What do I care what they make?"
A promoters job is to promote an event to the point where they can afford to facilitate a race at a fair price for the competitors and with a good amount of media attention (in short words)
The cost of the entry fees was a small part of it. In addition to the WAYYYY late notice of rule postings (spec tires, spec fuel, class structure), there was also LITTLE to NO promotion of this event except for a date.
I also made sure since I had my tire program set for the year that the tire rule was open (I asked twice) and was assured it wouldn't change from the previous years (where it had been open). The fact that I would need to purchase nearly $500 in tires didn't sit well as this was something that came up only weeks before the event.
The fuel you received was 5 gallons, and knowing that I ALWAYS go through a minumum of 7 gallons at a road race venue, I would have to purchase additional fuel (at a cost which is over double what my normal fuel/oil is).
These costs are DIRECTLY related to decisions that the promoters made to be able to pay for this race, making me UNABLE to pay.
If the promoters would have provided "pre-media", early notification of the rules and "spec info", as well as sought out some race or class sponsors for this event, then maybe, just maybe the costs of going to this event (and the cost for the promoter to pay for the track) would have been much less while possibly giving the opportunity for some racers to adapt their budget accordingly in advance (not a few weeks).
Glad you feel better Scott... but I don't *grin*

Everyone realizes the promotor has to make enough to cover the expenses and I would also hope, enough to make some profit. I agree with most of what Mark said, especially on the tire thing. Virutally every RR series in the country runs open tires. We have a tire sponsorship and are very loyal to them. Having to purchase a competitors tires at full retial would have meant going out and purchasing, like Marc said another $500+ in tires. An unplanned adn undesired expense and money that would have paid for the drive and motels!!
The other thing is what was alluded to in another thread. It has becoem obvious with the last two years that this event is not as some may view it, the long track nationals for RR125s. What this is is a one-off chance for SKUSA sprint racers to go race on a long track, period. At this point and time, IMHO, the closest thing there is to a RR125 National Championship event is the Road America SuperNationals. You have entrants in that class from almost every major RR organization/series. Even an occassional top SKUSA driver. Let's face it, at this point and time, the ProMoto and SKUSA is a sprint based organization. That's their focus and their strength. It is what they shold concentrate on. Maybe in the future they can expand more into long track racing, but that is a ways off, IMHO.
A National long track series/championship is more likely to come thru efforts independent of any national organization. Effort's such as JRs or Zalud's.
