We lost a great one on Monday, and another iconic figure on Tuesday. Today's soundtrack hopes that these guys are both on a better path, if you can dig it.
Buckeye 411
After two straight seasons of the Ohio State University Marching Band wowing audiences and capturing international attention at levels never before seen thanks to their spectacular and creative shows, Buckeye fans shouldn't be surprised to see the band receive more attention. Still, OSU fans watching sports this afternoon had to be pleasantly surprised and excited to see TBDBITL featured pretty prominently in the new iPad Air commercial from Apple. As most of you probably remember from the numerous news reports during the season, two members of the OSUMB, Charlie King and Ryan Barta, came up with an idea to save the band the costs of photocopying music and drill by having all the band members use iPads. As it turned out, this idea had benefits far beyond the cost savings as the ability to look at animated versions of the drill charts, watch practice video, record video of individuals marching, and other things greatly improved the band's ability to learn drill and to refine their performances. This was the first season that the iPads were used and contrary to some media reports, only the squad leaders had them this season; the goal for next season is for every band member to have an iPad to use during the season which should lead to even more improvement in the band's performances.
It doesn't matter if you are an Apple fanboy or not, it is still cool to see TBDBITL featured in a commercial that has nothing to do with football either in terms of content or what the company involved is known for. Instead, Apple is recognizing the creativity and innovation of the OSUMB and using that to show some of the exciting ways people are figuring out how to use technology; mixing images of the band in with people using iPads while scuba diving and other things only adds to the sense of coolness at what the band did. I also love the fact that Apple didn't put the OSUMB's name on there anywhere, implying that they realize the band and its shows, such as the T-Rex formation from the Hollywood Blockbusters show, is now famous enough that no explanation is needed. I haven't heard any details yet about what form of compensation TBDBITL received from Apple for this but it is pretty cool that a major company like Apple views the band as something it wants to be associated with and that will help it sell its products; when was the last time you heard of a company who tries to have an image of being 'cool and hip' go "hey, let's associate ourselves with band nerds."
While the outcome of the Orange Bowl was a disappointment for Ohio State fans, Buckeyes everywhere should still be proud of the season the team had and what Urban Meyer is building in Columbus. Fortunately there was one aspect of the Orange Bowl that OSU fans weren't disappointed in and that was the performance of the Ohio State University Marching Band.
TBDBITL flew out of Columbus on the night of January 1st, arriving in Miami around midnight and heading to their hotel. January 2nd featured a pair of pep bands in the morning followed by a performance for the annual Buckeye Bash pep rally put on by the Ohio State Alumni Association where the band, cheerleaders, and Brutus helped to fire up a large crowd of the scarlet and grey faithful who had made the trip to Miami.
While disappointed that the football team's loss in the Big Ten championship game kept them from making the National Championship game, Buckeye fans were comforted by the fact that the football team got a berth in the Orange Bowl meaning another BCS appearance and a game against a good opponent that gave the football team a chance to earn a lot of national respect. The Orange Bowl also meant a chance for Buckeye fans to escape cold, snowy Ohio and spend a few days in January enjoying warm, sunny Miami while cheering on their beloved team. The Ohio State Marching Band will also get a chance to experience the warmer weather but this is very much a work trip for them and band members won't have very much time to relax on the beaches or live it up in the clubs and bars.
Bowl trips are always a lot of fun for the band and some of my best memories from my time as a member of TBDBITL were on bowl trips. However a bowl trip is a very different experience for a band member than it is for a fan. While there is normally some free time for band members to enjoy the bowl location, most of the trip is consumed by practices, pep rallies, parades, and other performances before the main event of the game. Following the game the band pretty much always heads straight for the airport for a red eye flight back to Columbus.
For decades Ohio State fans have known that no matter how the football team does on the field, the Ohio State University Marching Band always won at halftime. For the first 24 games of the Urban Meyer era, the football team also always did their part and OSU fans couldn't have been happier. Unfortunately that winning streak came to an end on Saturday night but while Buckeye fans were disappointed with the outcome of the football game, fans couldn't be disappointed with the pregame and halftime performances from the band.
Saturday was a long day for TBDBITL. After a morning rehearsal at Lucas Oil Stadium along with the Spartan Marching Band, the OSUMB performed at a pair of pep rallies, one put on by the OSU Alumni Society and the other put on by the Big Ten. Following the pep rallies, it was time for a trip back to Lucas Oil Stadium to get ready for pregame.
Both bands performed traditional pregame shows featuring lots of school songs to get their fans fired up for the game, the OSUMB's pregame of course culminating in a double Script Ohio. Following their individual pregame performances, the two bands joined together on the field for the National Anthem, a classy move that provided a powerful performance that has drawn lots of praise from fans at the game.
To most Ohio State fans, the OSU-Indiana game was Senior Day for the football players. However it was also Senior Day for the marching band which saw the departing fourth and fifth year band members honored at the end of the halftime show; graduating members who have been in the band less than four years did not have their name read out during the ceremony. Senior Day is always a bitter sweet day for the band members as they perform for the last time in Ohio Stadium in the uniform that they earned through with years of hard work, blood, sweat, and tears.
The fans in the stadium may have been cold and bundled up due to the lightly falling snow but the band quickly got them on their feet and cheering with the traditional pregame show. The light snow fall actually helped to accentuate the skill of the band as the band members left footprints in the snow; check out the end of the first video where following ramp you can clearly see how each band member stepped in the footprint of the member in front of them, leaving only 8 blank spaces in the snow every five yards.
The show for the Indiana game was obviously going to be the show that the band would take to Michigan and thus this highly influenced the choice of show theme. As a tradition, the band almost always takes a patriotic themed show to M*ch*g*n. This is done knowing that due to the bitterness of the rivalry, the M*ch*g*n fans are going to boo the band and in theory that will be limited with a patriotic show as even Wolverines wouldn't boo America. From my experience this generally works and the Michigan fans just have to get all their booing in during pregame. Personally I didn't mind the booing during pregame, and I know many other band members who felt the same way, as it actually fired us up as we prepared to take the field.
This year the band decided to use their patriotic show to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg and President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. After the season the band has had, expectations were obviously very high for the band and while the band could easily have gotten cheers by just playing a few patriotic tunes and forming an American flag, anyone who knows TBDBITL knows that they would never settle for such a thing. Instead, the band came up with a show that serves as a perfect cap to a phenomenal season.
After forming an '1863' on the field to music from the movie Gettysburg at the start of the show, the band quickly drew cheers as they formed a trio of soldiers marching across the field with a battle flag waving while playing "Battle Cry of Freedom". The band then transitioned to a Confederate and a Union soldier who were thinking about home to the strains of "Home, Sweet Home". Next up was "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" and a cavalry officer with sword on horseback. Perhaps the most famous speech ever given by a president was Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and as the words of that speech were read, the band played music from Gettysburg and "Taps" while forming the Lincoln Memorial. For the finale, the band was joined by the Ohio State Men's Glee Club for "The Battle Hymn of the Republic". Not content with the two animated formations they had already done, the band formed and fired a cannon and then had a Confederate and Union soldier shake hands during the finale.
This was another great show that had a bit of everything we want for an OSUMB performance: the animated formations the band has become famous for, some more modern line and block drill, props, pyrotechnics,… The music selection for the show also did a great job showing off the sound and range of the band; compare the sound of the band during the music from the movie Gettysburg and "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" to see the perfect example of the band's range. The show, like so many done over the past two seasons by TBDBITL, got a lot of attention in the media, showing up on Fox Sports, Deadspin, the UK's Daily Mail, Huffington Post, and many others.
After the game, the band performed their normal postgame concert on the field before marching up the ramp and under the stadium where the seniors were dismissed for the last time at a home game. This march back up the ramp is a very emotional moment for all the departing band members as they know that was the last time they will perform in Ohio Stadium.
A House Divided?
The band taking a Civil War themed show to M*ch*g*n is sort of appropriate as like the war, it is a bitter rivalry that divides families and friends. As much as it pains us, most of us probably have at least one friend who is a Wolverine and many of us probably know families that are split between the two schools; my grandfather actually went to M*ch*g*n and my dad cheered for the Wolverines until I went to OSU and he saw the light (somehow I always had a fondness for OSU as a photo of myself in an OSU jersey from when I was 5 proves).
It isn't my story that I wish to talk about this week; rather, it is the story of Liz McIntosh-Russell (@osumarchingmom) and her son Phil. Phil is a 5th year sousaphone player in the OSUMB who has been a three time i-dotter (September 1st, 2012 against Miami (Ohio), September 7th, 2013 against San Diego State, and November 2nd, 2012 at Purdue). So Liz of course is a proud mother of band member but there are lots of those, what makes this story interesting? Well, in addition to being the mother of a member of the OSUMB, Liz is also an alumnus of the M*ch*g*n Marching Band where she was their first ever female sousaphone player. Big Ten marching bands are traditionally quite masculine and sousaphone sections are even more so. Thus to be the first female member of the MMB was "pretty crazy" as Liz puts it; she recounted how MMB director George Cavender would stop during rehearsal and say to the trumpets "There's a girl in the tuba section!" 60 Minutes Australia even did a short piece on Liz when they were at a Michigan because as Liz puts it, "women just didn't play the big horn all that much at the time."
Being in the MMB obviously gave Liz a different perspective on the rivalry than OSU fans get. She recalled the 1978 game played in Columbus where the MMB staff decided that the band would form a script 'State' while playing the OSU fight song. The sousaphones completed the formation by marching down and crossing the 'Ts', complete with the traditional i-dotter bow. As Liz remembers, "It was NOT well received. Knowing what I know now about Script Ohio and tradition, I am surprised we made it out alive."
When it came time for Phil to decide on where to go to college, at first he was going to follow in his mother's footsteps and attend that school up North. Phil's audition for the M*ch*g*n School of Music didn't go well though and he was not admitted to the school. Phil and his mom decided to attend the OSU School of Music orientation session on a whim and while there Phil turned to his mom and said "this feels like home" and she agreed. Phil auditioned for the OSU School of Music and was accepted.
Phil's first tryout for the OSUMB did not go as well but he stuck with it, staying in Columbus the summer after his freshman year so that he could practice for tryouts more. Phil's second year of trying out was more successful and he made the band and eventually went on to become an i-dotter. Phil graduated last May with a Bachelors of Music Education and chose to take a class at OSU this fall so he could be in the band for the final year of his eligibility (a member can only be in TBDBITL for 5 years).
Despite her being in the M*ch*g*n Marching Band for a short time, she left early to join the Navy, Liz has become a complete Buckeye fan thanks to Phil's experiences as a student and musician at Ohio State. See, not only is TBDBITL highly skilled and entertaining, they also have the power to transform Wolverine fans into Buckeyes.
M*ch*g*n Week
This week is always a busy one for the band. Everyone loves to put on pep rallies and events for M*ch*g*n week and the band is flooded with requests for a pep band from all around the state. While most of these get turned down as there is just no way for the band to make all of them and still have time to do things like rehearse, eat, sleep, study, etc. There are some pep bands the band does and band members will be busy this week performing at various events; fortunately the Beat M*ch*g*n pep rallies tend to be a lot of fun for the band.
The fact that the game has been moved to the Saturday after Thanksgiving makes this week even busier and more hectic for band members. While there will be a little time to enjoy the holiday, band members shouldn't eat too much turkey because while the rest of you are sleeping or out shopping on Friday, the band will be reporting to the stadium to load buses and head north. It has been a long standing tradition of the band to honor Woody Hayes by never staying in That State Up North and thus the band normally will spend the Friday night before a game in Ann Arbor or East Lansing in a hotel in the Toledo area. As part of the trip, the band also traditionally performs a concert somewhere in the Toledo area. This year the concert will be at the Kalahari Resort in Sandusky, Ohio on Friday at 7:30pm; tickets for the concert can be ordered from the OSU Alumni Club of Erie County.
Celebrating a great senior day, and getting ready for The Game… but this was too good not to post ASAP.
For the third time this season the Ohio State University Marching Band joined the football team on the road, this time traveling to Urbana-Champaign for the game against the University of Illinois; earlier in the year the band traveled to Cal and Purdue. Like most band trips, this one was rather busy with little free time for the band members; after the approximately 4.5 hour bus trip from Columbus, the band arrived at their hotel on Friday night around 10:30 pm central time and was at the university, in full uniform, for practice the next morning shortly after 8 am. Following the game, the band boarded the buses for the trip back to Columbus making for a rather quick, tiring trip that was still longer than the day trip for the Purdue game.
For the third time this season TBDBITL performed its now famous "Hollywood Blockbusters show which has now been viewed by over 14 million people on Youtube. The popularity and impact of the show was made very apparent by the loud, enthusiastic reactions of the fans at the game and from comments on Twitter and message boards by Illini fans after the game.

US consumer confidence at highest since Feb. 2008
WASHINGTON - Americans' confidence in the economy surged last month to the highest level in nearly five years, as many were encouraged by an improving job market.
The Conference Board said Thursday that its consumer confidence index increased in October to 72.2. That's up from 70.3 in September and the highest reading since February 2008, two months into the Great Recession.
Consumers were more confident after seeing better job growth, the report noted. Hiring in July and August was stronger than first thought, and employers added a modest 114,000 jobs in September, the government reported last month.
The survey is watched closely because consumer spending drives nearly 70 per cent of economic activity. The reading is still below 90, a level that indicates a healthy economy. It last reached that level in December 2007. But the index is far above the all-time low of 25.3 touched in February 2009.
The gain in consumer confidence could be an encouraging sign for President Barack Obama, who faces re-election Tuesday at a time when the economy is the top issue for most voters.
The reported noted that consumers are more optimistic about both the economy and job market now and where it is headed in the next six months.
Consumers were "modestly more upbeat" about their finances and the outlook for the economy, said Lynn Franco, a Conference Board official. . They "appear to be in better spirits approaching the holiday season," she said.
Economists have cited some key reasons for why consumers have grown more confident in recent months. Stock prices are higher. Gasoline prices have levelled off after rising for several months. And a broad increase in home prices is likely giving would-be buyers more confidence. When prices rise, buyers don't worry so much that a home might lose value after they bought it.
Some economists question whether the higher level of confidence is sustainable. But others note that even a weak economy doesn't feel so bad to many consumers once it begins to make steady improvement.
Consumers' confidence might have been rattled by this week's Superstorm Sandy. Disruptions across U.S. industries will slow the economy temporarily, and some stores and restaurants will draw fewer customers. Some of those losses won't be made up.

Loading... The Greenlanders (1988)by Jane Smiley
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. It's as if I were reading a religious tome, or maybe one of the original Sagas, in its original, as an acolyte. Each reading session, days and nights slipping by, eking me only incrementally forward, impossible to make this story take anything but the amount of time it needs to take. It will stymy speed-readers. With only three chapters in nearly 600 pages (abstractly: "Riches", "The Devil" and "Love"), scant paragraph breaks and copy as dense as the weight of a damp Greenland winter. Smiley's novel unwinds as a single, admirably constant, thread. It will require attention and persistence. But, in short, it is worth it. Each petty squabble, each encroaching superstition, each abandoned farmstead among the vulnerable, thin band of Norse emigrants who constituted the titular Greenlanders increases the grey, windswept, taut feeling that these people are on their way to their own (undisclosed and historically mysterious) end. You can't let it go. You have to come along with it, yourself getting gritty winter-sand blown into your hair and eating sourmilk and dried bilberries and sharpening old inter-family feuds. I mean, from the outset, it's hopeless. This arrogant clutch of 14th-century farmers bring incompatible Scandinavian farming techniques and undiluted disdain for the indigenous "skraelings" (Eskimo or Inuit), who continue sleek and fleshy as the Greenlanders dwindle and starve. Epidemic after gruesome epidemic decimate the steaders. They kill amongst themselves for honor or anger or fear. The land refuses to give and each year the crops and livestock weaken more. Ships stop coming, and the Greenlanders—no trees—cannot build their own. Many of the people in the multi-generational story here are real. You can look some of them up. They happened. The place-names where they lived and worked still vaguely discernible on the land. Though they are completely vanished now, Smiley makes each of their life stories utterly plausible, such that you are confused as to where fiction stops and the surreal, remote, but *real* history of the failed colonies on Greenland begins. It is haunting and cold-feeling and bleak. It never wavers from its calculated, saga-style prose. But it can't be ignored, and draws one back night after night until the end finally comes. Life was truly hard for these folk of the 15 century in Greenland. We can only imagine the harshness of the climate and the topography. Ms. Smiley does a very good job of portraying this with the minimialist style she uses for this book. As hard as life was for these folk, they still knew how to love, laugh and have fun sometimes. They were entirely fatalistic in their responses to everything that is thrown at them - starvation, death, killings and above all else - rumours. None expected life to be easy, and knew that death is as much a part of life as anything, so they determined to make the most of what time they had. I found the characters intriguing in this story. They are dour, yes, but they also display a great deal of empathy and humour. This is a very good tale, and it certainly gives a new look at another part of our great world. Fully absorbing, almost to the point of claustrophobia. I started reading this in hardcover and raced, hypnotized, through the first 400 pages in one night. Just bought it in paperback and finished; it occurred to me that, had I written The Greenlanders, I would have (characteristically) had it all end in emptiness, just darkness and nothing. So it's a good thing I didn't write it, okay? How do I love this book? Let me count the ways. Smiley creates memorable and believable characters and a vivid sense of a place and a time; she writes in a style that calls to mind the language of Norse sagas yet is eminently readable; she interweaves stories of many different characters over several generations with wonderful pacing; and she creates a real sense of unease and even impending doom. As the title implies, the novel tells the tales of Europeans living in Greenland towards the end of their settlement there. It is not known why these settlements disappeared in the 14th and 15th centuries after lasting since the 10th century when Norwegians and Icelanders (also, presumably, originally from Norway) first arrived; theories include the coming of the Little Ice Age, increasing conflicts with the Inuit (called "skraelings" by the Greenlanders), and environmental degradation due to agriculture and the cutting down of the few trees that were there. In the novel, there is a severe shortage of wood, winters seem colder than in earlier times, and famine regularly strikes. All this is background to a saga of a people who, although they lived a long time ago in a harsh and unforgiving environment with limited technology, are not all that different from us in their feelings and behavior. The story focuses on the family and descendents of Asegeir Gunnarson: how they interact with each other and with the larger community of which they are a part. There are many tragedies, both those caused by implacable nature and those caused by human pride and hurt feelings and anger and desire and all the other emotions we are prone too. People die a lot, sometimes through dangerous activities like hunting seals, sometimes in childbirth, sometimes by murder, sometimes by disease or by starving or freezing to death. The characters are vividly portrayed, especially the ones who are in some way different, who don't quite fit the mold, the ones who don't enjoy the social realm and feel more at home in the wilderness with the plants and the animals. The people know that times are changing: they catch fewer seals and reindeer in the semiannual hunts; the winters are colder; the wood is all gone and people fight over driftwood; the land will only support sheep and not cattle; the lawspeaker no longer remembers all of the laws and takes only one day to recite them instead of the previous three days; ships from Iceland and Norway no longer arrive, and thus there are no replacements for the religious and civic leaders; people's farms (steads) can no longer support them and they have to seek work as servants to others; and more. And yet they stay and figure out ways to survive, because they have no other choice. Another aspect of this novel is the way it integrates people telling tales and sagas into the novel itself; sometimes, indeed, people tell their own stories as if they were someone else's. And the church, and priests, and a bizarre (and probably crazy) "prophet" play important roles too. As life becomes more challenging, people are more responsive to these gloomy prophecies and more willing to take revenge without the benefit of law. This is a melancholy book, the story of a dying culture and of people who cannot find happiness. But it is also full of life, full of people who jump from the page, full of people living a life that seems completely realistic although so far away. It is completely absorbing. I've had this book on my shelves since the late 1980s, and I owe my reading of it now to the enthusiastic review below by AnnieMod. This is one of my best reads of the year so far. The designation "novel" covers a big range of narrative styles - and the sagas tend to be credited there. "The Greenlanders" is a saga - it is not a story with a plot and main characters, it is the story of a place, of a nation, of a time. Characters appear and disappear, people die (even people that feel like being the main characters), people appear out of nowhere and names repeat themselves. It is like real life - you don't have people that are invincible and people do not get named conveniently (or show up only after their story is revealed). And somewhere amidst all these people is the story of the Greenland settlement at the times of the Black Death, the last years of the a previously prosperous life. The saga spans decades - in some instances years pass in a sentence; in some instances pages are spent on the same minute or hour. And in that story emerges a nation that does not exist anymore, a style of life that had disappeared anywhere else and that is on the verge of extinction. Because even if Greenland's original settlers belonged to a different nation, their almost full isolation and their way of life turns them into something new... which by the time the novel opens is already something old and dying. The details of the daily life are excruciating and at the same time you do not feel as if you are reading a history book instead of the novel you expected. Even though there are main characters emerging in the book, part of the beauty of the book is that you never know who will die or when or how. It is a very dense read - even if you want to read fast, the text slows you down with the details, the prose and the style. But in a good way - in the way in which good non-fiction slows you down when it gets technical. And still it remains a fascinating fiction. Although it is not an easy read emotionally either - deaths, hunger and human stupidity is part of the book - whatever nature does not manage to take away, humans do. The foreigners that at the beginning of the novel are a good omen and carry happiness by the end of the novel turn into the worst thing that could have happen to the community - first by just influencing it and then by effectively destroying it. It is a dying world - with the Earth going into the small Ice Age, Greenland becomes too cold and inhospitable. And yet - noone gives up - it is only the external influence that manages to break up everything. And somewhere amongst that saga are the stories - people telling stories - of heroes and real people, of their life and the life of others. And midway through the book, some of the stories are the stories of the people that tell them, the same stories we already read. And yet - they are different - because stories belong to the teller... and every time a story is told, it changes. It is a marvelous novel - but only if someone is prepared for the style and the scope. no reviews | add a review

March 5, 2014
Two seldom used WWE stars got a chance to hang out over the weekend, as Curt Hawkins and Tyson Kidd, who has been regulated to being a side character on Total Divas, were spotted in the audience at an independent wrestling show in New Jersey. The event was promoted by Pro Wrestling Syndicate, and it was a sold out crowd.
February 25, 2014
Since he has not been seen on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown in quite some time, fans are wondering if Curt Hawkins is still with WWE. He is very much still under contract to the company. He actually worked a match on WWE Superstars early in February. Hawkins is also occasionally utilized as a filler during the live events as well.
February 20, 2014
When Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder started working on the main roster in WWE, Big Daddy V was quite helpful to the two youngster. His death today prompted this message from Hawkins on Twitter, where he stated that he will never forget the kindness displayed towards him.
February 18, 2014
"Somehow that Curt Hawkins sign got a lot of air time tonight. I'm gonna have to buy that guy some beers one day as a thank you."
- Curt Hawkins on seeing his sign at Royal Rumble 2014
January 26, 2014
"If anybody had their money on Kofi Kingston tongith, they just made a lot of cash. What an upset!"
January 13, 2014
Curt Hawkins publicly defended Kassius Ohno after the former ROH star was released from the WWE developmental program this week.
November 9, 2013
Citing a desire to spend more time with his family and focus more on his technology company, Tyler Reks asked WWE to release him from his contract, and the company granted that request. The move comes a week after he and tag team partner Curt Hawkins debuted a new stripper gimmick on Smackdown.
August 21, 2012
There are talks backstage that Tyler Reks has worked his final match for WWE, even though management just recently gave him a new gimmick. He worked a tag team match with Curt Hawkins against two local wrestlers on Smackdown. The belief is that he wants to leave professional wrestling to pursue other business opportunities.

Workout Wednesday: Running eats/drinks
By georgiapeachmommy on December 04, 2013
I've had friends ask me what I use/wear when I'm running. I won't cover it all today, but I'll start with a few basics. I don't run with water. I have plenty of friends who love to run with water, but I can't...in fact, I don't drink much water at all when I do long runs. I prefer to hydrate a ton the night before (or if it's an evening run hydrate during the day). I do love Gu. I use both the gels and the chews.

Vogue's Best Dressed: Sari special
Even without any big Bollywood weddings to open 2013, a whole lot of celebrities are choosing the sari over a gown for their red carpet appearances this year.
Traditional threads - In Sabyasachi after Sabyasachi, Vidya Balan showed off her exhaustive repertoire of traditional silks six-yard staples by the Kolkata designer, even making a cotton sari look red carpet appropriate.
Sexy sheer sari - The ethnic equivalent of a glamorous evening gown is the embellished sheer sari. No wonder it's a Bollywood favourite! We had more Sabyasachis, but sheer ones this time, on Kajol, Sridevi and Jacqueline Fernandes.
Printed parade - The quirky printed sari became really popular by the end of 2012 and judging from what we've seen in the last few months, that trend is not going to die down anytime soon. Masaba's prints in particular found many fans.
Modern touches - Manish Malhotra has given his saris a younger, trendier vibe this season by using neon accents, as seen on Priyanka Chopra and Kajol at his 100 Years of Cinema Mumbai fashion week show in March. For more sari styling inspiration, watch Vogue's Trend Therapy with Anaita video. And if you liked this post, Tweet it with #VogueLovesSari

Republic of the Congo in 2000
Article Free PassArea: | 342,000 sq km (132,047 sq mi) | |
Population | (2000 est.): 2,831,000 | |
Capital: | Brazzaville | |
Head of state and government: | President Denis Sassou-Nguesso |
Efforts to stabilize affairs in the aftermath of the Republic of the Congo's civil war achieved some success during 2000. On Dec. 29, 1999, representatives of the army had signed a new truce with rebel groups that were backing either exiled former president Pascal Lissouba or longtime opposition leader Bernard Kolelas. A pledge was made to open a national dialogue. Further progress was signaled when on March 20 a delegation from the army flew into the southwestern district of Zanaga, a centre of support for Lissouba, for new talks. This defused rumours of a military invasion of the area, although another rebel leader, Frederic Bintsangou of the National Resistance Council, issued a statement calling for the withdrawal of all foreign troops before he would join the peace process. In late November the government began drafting a new constitution.
Rebuilding the oil-rich country's shattered economy after three years of civil war remained a high priority. On January 6 the national legislature approved a new budget of $1,060,000,000, an increase of 23% over the previous year. Approximately 60% of the anticipated revenues were projected to come from the petroleum sector. Much of the increase was earmarked for capital investment and for the rebuilding of infrastructure badly damaged during the war. The entire Congo-Ocean Railway was officially reopened on August 15, the 40th anniversary of independence from France. It had been closed for 23 months.

Just yesterday, we took a look at a leaked screenshot showing the UI for Microsoft's answer to Google Now and Siri slated for release on Windows 8.1: Cortana. Well, if a picture is worth a thousand words, this video must be worth at least a thousand words times 30 frames per second times 2 minutes and 21 seconds. Continue past the break to take a closer look at Cortana.. . . READ ON »
It's no secret that when it comes to digital assistants, Windows Phone is sorely lacking in comparison to Google Now and Apple's Siri—but let's not be too quick to count Microsoft out of that arena permanently. Windows 8.1 code name Blue is rumored to hit manufacturers this month and users in April, and with it we'll see Microsoft's attempts at taking on the already mature digital assistant market.
So far, we don't know much about Microsoft's Cortana digital assistant. In fact, it's not even known whether this code name will be preserved in the final shipping version. But thanks . . . READ ON »
If you're nice, you've probably lent out something of yours to someone. If you're really nice, you might have lent out a couple more things to some people. And if you're really nice, you probably need an app to track all the things you've lent out to people so you don't forget them. But you're not that nice, because otherwise you'll just give these things away. So to all the really nice folks who also happen to use a Windows Phone 8 device, there's now an app that will actually keep track of all the personal belongings that you've lent . . . READ ON »
If you have been following the Windows Phone headlines the past couple of weeks, you've definitely heard of the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK leak. Although neither the rumored digital assistant Cortana nor the OS's new Action Center are to be seen in the leaked build, there are still quite a few new additions and tweaks to the mobile platform. These include finally being able to install apps onto the SD card with Storage Sense, further UI customization options, better multitasking, and updates of core apps such as Internet Explorer, among others.

Now that the gift giving season is over and we have all (hopefully) received presents we've been wishing for, there are probably a lot of folks who've been gifted with a brand new Windows device and are wondering what exactly to do with it.

If you're using a device running either Windows 8 or RT—be it a tablet, a PC, or a hybrid—you'll probably be familiar with the tools context menu that pops up when you right click on the desktop. And in all honesty, it's not that particularly useful other than to organize your desktop. This is a shame because it wouldn't cause any harm if some more options and actions were added.
Well, XDA Senior Member pbanj thought similarly. And as a result, he developed a batch file that allows you to conveniently install extra tools to the context menu. As . . . READ ON »
Automatically adjusting the screen brightness depending on ambient light levels, also known as adaptive brightness, is a pretty standard feature on modern smartphones, tablets, PCs, and anything in between. This is most definitely the case for Windows 8 and RT devices such as the Microsoft Surface RT and Pro (check out the review here), Asus t100, and the Dell Venue 8 and 11 Pro tablets. But if you've been having issues with the pre-determined screen brightness levels of your Windows 8 device, or you're simply not satisfied with them, there's a fix that may help you out.

For Android users who have made the leap of faith to Windows 8 or RT, the limited number of available Modern UI apps can be quite a shock. But this shouldn't be a surprise, as the majority of tablets now ship with Android. This is then naturally reflected in user and developer contributions.
It seems like Microsoft's well aware of this issue, however, as they've just released Project Siena. Sienna can be seen as Microsoft's attempt to encourage app development for Windows 8 and RT.

Just one week ago, we talked about how Microsoft was contemplating axing licensing fees on its Windows Phone and Windows RT OSes in order to help spur adoption and exposure to Microsoft services and advertising. As it turns out, that's not the only big shakeup Microsoft has in mind with regards to its mobile OSes. While no details have yet been officially released, sources have revealed to The Verge that the next version of the OS will pack some major (and much needed) additions.

It's no secret that despite their previous successes in both the mobile and traditional computing spaces, Microsoft's market performance as of late has been lackluster. And while sales for all of their platforms are currently suffering to a degree, it's really only Windows Phone and Windows RT that are in serious trouble. Why have these two OSes struggled to gain any sort of traction? Part of this is due to the confusion of simply offering too many different versions. But that's not the only reason. Though they generally offer optimized performance and a great user experience, industry adoption on either seems to . . . READ ON »

Day 10 of the Michael Jackson death trial of Dr. Conrad Murray featured the conclusion of the cardiologist's audio interview with police investigators two days after Jackson's death, with Murray saying Jackson "was basically wasted" following visits to another doctor.
Murray singled out Jackson's dermatologist, Dr. Arnold Klein, saying, "[Jackson's] production team had said to me recently that his worst days in the set is when he had gone to Dr. Klein's office, which is about three times a week, and when he came back, he was basically wasted and required at least 24 hours for recovery."
MORE: First Look: Dr. Conrad Murray's Police Interview
Dr. Murray said, "I was not aware of any other medications that he was taking, but I heard that he was seeing a Dr. Klein three times a week in Beverly Hills, and he never disclosed that to me."
At the start of the trial, Murray's defense contended that Dr. Klein had addicted Jackson to the narcotic pain reliever Demerol in the weeks before his death. Earlier witnesses in the trial testified that the entertainer's speech would be slow and slurred following his visits to the dermatology clinic.
MORE: Bombshell Murray Police Recording Played for Jury
Dr. Murray's defense contends that Demerol played a role in Jackson's death, because he was unable to sleep due to withdrawal from the drug. In the audio recording, Murray said that the singer was "showing signs of a withdrawal," but he suspected it was from propofol, which he was trying to wean Jackson off of.
The prosecution is building a case to prove that Dr. Murray gave Jackson a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol at home, while the defense alleges that Jackson self-administered the lethal dose.
MORE: Jackson Trial: The Startling Slurred Recording
Earlier in the audio recording, Dr. Murray detailed events at UCLA medical center following the pronouncement of Jackson's death, specifically the moment that Jackson's mother Katherine was informed of the devastating news: "She broke down, weeping," he said. He then explained that Jackson's children were informed of the news with the help of a social worker: "They cried and cried and cried."
If convicted, the 58-year-old Murray faces a maximum of four years in jail and the loss of his medical license.

I used to make these cookies all the time using whole wheat pastry flour. Today I decided I wanted to use some other flour, so I blended rolled oats and almonds, then I used tapioca starch not only to bind the cookies but also for a nice texture. My children love to help, they make the indentation and fill the cookies with the jam. I was also in the mood to make my own jam; I used fresh blackberries with dates for a delicious sugar free version. Feel free to do your own substitutions also, you can substitute the oat flour with rice flour or millet flour.
1 cup certified gluten free oat flour (such as Bob Red Mill Gluten-Free Rolled Oats)
1 cup ground almond or almond flour (I blended almonds)
½ cup tapioca flour (I used Bob's Red Mill Tapioca Flour)
½ cup maple syrup
¼ cup coconut oil or ¼ cup applesauce
¼ tsp sea salt
blackberry jam (recipe below) Dented cookies Jam in the middle
Preheat oven 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a bowl add oat flour, ground almonds, tapioca flour, sea salt and mix well. In a smaller bowl combine coconut oil and maple syrup. Add wet ingredients to dry until well mixed, make sure they are not too wet or too dry. Add a little water if too dry or a little tapioca if too wet. Roll into to balls in the palm of your hand and place them on the cookie sheet. Using your thumb or the back of a measuring spoon, place a dent in the middle of cookie for filling with the jam. Fill the cookies with ½ tsp or more of the blackberry jam and bake for 20 minutes or until browned.
Sugar Free Blackberry Jam
1½ cup blackberries
6-8 pitted dates
1 tsp lemon juice Blackberries Jam in the pot More jam
Wash and sort the blackberries, place in a blender with the dates and lemon juice process until smooth. Transfer to a small saucepan and simmer for 20 minutes until thicken.
This looks soooo good!!! I gotta try it sometime
Thanks Nikki, please let me know how they turn out!
super cookies:)
Thanks Olga, I'm happy to have you. I love your blog!

Thanks Melissa, I'm happy you like them and you were able to come up with your very own version with success.
These are amazing. I used a gluten free mix of flours and the almond meal and strawberries for te jam. I love them! Would you mind if I re-posted on my blog?
Hello Suzi, I'm so happy you enjoyed my cookies. I certainly don't mind you reposting, would you be kind enough to give me credit. I'm also working on my gluten free vegan e-book which will have more recipes like this!
