Fashion designer John Galliano was born on November 28, 1960, in Gibraltar, Spain. After graduating from Central Saint Martins, he launched his own line. Famous for whimsical, outrageous designs, he headed the French haute couture houses Givenchy (1995-1996) and Christian Dior (1996-2011). In 2011, his career went into a tailspin when he was arrested for making anti-Semitic remarks in a Paris bar.
Dressing up. People just don't do it anymore. We have to change that.
Early Life
British fashion designer John Galliano was born in Gibraltar, Spain, on November 28, 1960. His Spanish mother and Gibraltarian father moved the family to South London when he was 6. The transition was difficult. His mother, a flamenco teacher, prided herself on the family's appearance and would dress her son in elaborate outfits, even when toting him along on the simplest of errands. Despite being teased by his sloppily dressed schoolmates, Galliano's mother instilled in him a bold and creative sensibility.
Professional Career
Galliano enrolled at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in 1981. While in school, he worked as a dresser for Britain's National Theatre, the eminent company in London, ensuring that the company's thespians looked perfect. His graduating collection in 1984, inspired by the French Revolution and entitled "Les Incroyables," was bought in its entirety by the independent London fashion boutique, Browns. Galliano soon established his own label and enjoyed the support of various financial backers. His collections were both dramatic and intricate, but within just a few years his elaborate visions were squashed by a lack of business prowess. He went bankrupt in 1990.
Galliano struggled financially for years, still producing work intermittently, until he met and gained the support of American Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and Vogue's creative director for the American edition, Andre Leon Talley. These high-powered connectors introduced him to the Portuguese fashion patron Saõ Schlumberger. To regain his footing, Schlumberger loaned him her house for a fashion show, and several top models worked for free. He designed the entire collection from one bolt of fabric. Schlumberger's adoration brought several new financiers to the fore. As a result, Galliano was appointed head designer of Givenchy in 1995, thus becoming the first British designer to head a French haute couture house. In two year's time, he moved to Christian Dior.
Galliano created some of the industry's most famous collections, including the Blanche Dubois in October 2008 (inspired by the 1951 film A Streetcar Named Desire), the Napoleon and Josephine in March 1992 (inspired by the love story of these famous historic figures) and the Princess Lucretia in October 1993 (inspired by the Russian princess). Beyond the clothing donned by his models, Galliano is known for his own dramatic final-bow-costumes, finishing his shows wearing fantastical get-ups inspired by the likes of Napoleon Bonaparte and U.S. astronauts.
Galliano was named British Designer of the Year in 1987, 1994 and 1997, and he was made a Chevalier in the French Legion of Honour in 2009, an award previously bestowed on fashion luminaries Yves Saint Laurent and Suzy Menkes.

It for sure would be cool if Elvis would win this Award.
However, as you mention Brian, McCartney seems the logical choice to win this one. And to be honest, the album he is nominated for is a very good one indeed.
Please go to the following URL:
Great News. Let's hope he wins it. Trouble is McCartney always seems to win everything he is nominated for as he always appears to collect the Award in person and that adds kudos to the show.
It for sure would be cool if Elvis would win this Award.
However, as you mention Brian, McCartney seems the logical choice to win this one. And to be honest, the album he is nominated for is a very good one indeed.
I sure hope Elvis wins. Like you guys said, McCartney being able to receive the award in person makes a big difference for t.v. Always politics.
Love Elvis...The Greatest
RIP Tommy
Would be great if it does win. As that will make sure further collections like this (instead of more greatest hits stuff like '75) will be pursued in the future.
If it does win it will actually be for rock'n'roll material instead of the usual gospel and that will be a first for Elvis. Could also be that when the SUN BOX SET is released, it too could stand a chance of being nominated for a GRAMMY. It has always seemed a trifle unfair for Elvis, the KING of Rock 'n' Roll, never to have received a Grammy for that genre. Let's hope things are about to change.
my sentiments too Brian.......very bizarre
"NO-ONE, BUT NO-ONE,IS HIS EQUAL, OR EVER WILL BE. HE WAS, AND IS SUPREME".Mick Jagger
Just heard that this Award will NOT be part of the televised broadcast. This is good news as McCartney will not turn up without a TV appearance.
That is good news and bad. Good because Elvis has a better chance of winning. Bad because if he was to win there will not be as much press about Elvis winning another "Grammpy".
Love Elvis...The Greatest
RIP Tommy
Don't be too sure about that Chris.
Look at it from both sides. It also would mean lesser publicity for McCartney in this case.
When Elvis would win, the fact he is no longer among us could just mean our man gets more attention winning this particular Grammy.
While at this, we all think it will either be McCartney or Elvis winning. So probably they both will not
I do have the Band on The Run reissue and its great, I'm a big McCartney fan and that one sure deserve it. BUT, me been an Elvis fan aside, Young Man With The Big Beat for sure its a much more complex work than Band on The Run, it is much more carefully crafted, the research, the artwork, the restoration, the remasters, the memorabilia, the liner notes, music aside, it is definetively a superior job than Band on The Run. Now musically, although Band on The Run its a classic one, there is no way you can compare it with the historic relevance of Elvis '56 masters so...
Being Elvis fans aside, I do believe Young Man has a better chance than Band on The Run, although yes, politics are a bigger matter and we know everybody loves and gets something by kissing Macca's ***. I know for sure that Paul would be happy if Elvis wins this time.

Here's how RW members rated this race (210 votes).
Date of review: July 29, 2013
In short: Overpriced scenic pan flat runIn full: Although very flat, this run is not good for a PB due to the chronic overcrowding along a narrow path and through a kiss gate in the first couple of miles (I think that it would be better to do the Up Flow year to avoid these bottlenecks).Very well organised but I feel that it is rather expensive for what it is - water only at the drinks stations (plus a banana at the end) with a hideously garish medal and no tee-shirt/goodie bag.Baggage storage looked as if it was well organised as it was separated into three vans according to number, however there was no order within each van which meant it took them over half na hour to find my bag.The scenery along the Thames however is stunning.Date of review: July 29, 2013
In short: Fantastically organised, picturesque route, PB potentialDate of review: July 29, 2013
In short: A very scenic half but not one to try for a personal best due to lots of stopping and starting at various kissing gates, bridges etc. Good fun though.Date of review: July 29, 2013
In short: Lovely run in the sun which was organised to perfection.Date of review: July 29, 2013
In short: When the race is this good, who cares about your PB?In full: First time doing this event and really enjoyed it.Pros- Excellent organisation (bus transfer, number pickup, baggage drop and just about enough portaloos!).- Scenery is superb as you make your way along the river.- Marshalls and volunteers were very encouraging and enthusiastic.- A better-than-your-normal medal at the end.Cons- As other people have stated there are a few pinch points at the start of the race, so unless you are right at the start of the wave you'll end up walking at some stage.- Watch your footing on the different surfaces, as I managed to roll my ankle by mile 3 (though at least it's more interesting than a pure road race).More waves could solve the pinch problem (though people were still going off in the wrong coloured wavse yesterday). Or a lap of the field to thin the runners out a little (though then you have to fiddle with the course)?But, don't less these minor cons put anyone off doing the race. Fantastic scenery, great route and an excellent example of why people run.I will definitely be back next year.Date of review: July 29, 2013
In short: Super Flat Half with Multi-TerrainIn full: This is a super almost billiard-table flat run across multi-terrain following the banks of the Thames from Marlow to Windsor (and vice versa alternate years). The organisation is slick, including the very convenient bus service from the finish (where you'll park your car) back to the start - I highly recommend that you use this. The usual loo queues prevail, but that's easy enough to plan around. The marshals are present along the whole course, providing great encouragement, and with the right number of water stations (increased by one due to this year's warmer weather). There is a brief section where you're on or crossing public roads, but the traffic is light and generally considerate, so this presented no issues at all. At the finish there is a great atmosphere and lots of crowd encouragement, with water, a banana and a rather nice medal for all finishers. As Half Marathons go, you couldn't ask for better scenery in the south of England except perhaps on the coast, but what you get here is scenery AND a flat course. I'll definitely do this one again next year. Date of review: July 29, 2013
In short: Great route and scenary, ideal for a 1st timerDate of review: July 29, 2013
In short: Nice scenic run, but a bit underwhelmingIn full: This would be a lovely route to run on your own, but the number of kissing gates, flights of steps, bridges and single-file paths at the beginning make it problematic for a race. Too many bottlenecks in the first 2 miles and sections where walking is unavoidable made it really hard to get into a steady pace. Date of review: July 29, 2013
In short: What a fabulous way to spend a Sunday morningIn full: Coming back from injury I wanted a race I could enjoy without pushing for a time and this was perfect. The start with the bus transport worked fantastically and the starting atmosphere was incredibly chilled. As I'm not use to running on tracks, trails and grass I found it a ittle energy zapping, so actually welcomed a few of the bottle necks. The scenery was amazing and the course was very well marshalled by lovely happy people. I would definelty take part in this race again and posted a time just outside my PB so was thrilled. If I had one small complaint, a bottle of water at the finish instead of a cup and something other than a banana for those of us who don't like them please!Date of review: July 29, 2013

Tait said the whole procedure took him three days, though he estimates that only 12 hours was spent doing the actual installing and the rest of the time was spent trying to obtain valid copies of Windows. He even managed to get the DOS versions of Doom 2 and Monkey Island to run on Windows 7 when he was done. In the 10-minute video, Tait points out changes to system settings and application compatibility as he upgrades each version:
"My parents have had a PC since I was about 5, so I have many nostalgic memories about early versions of MS-DOS and Windows," Tait said in a statement. "This is probably why I chose this project, as it gave me a chance to relive some of those memories, and finally gave me something to do with my cupboard full of old computer software."
It's rather impressive that the upgrading was so successful. I've personally always made a point to do a clean installation when I get a new version of Windows. Have you ever upgraded Windows, and if so, what was your experience?
User Comments: 10
Got something to say? Post a comment-
i dont bother upgrading, theres something about that which just doesnt feel right...if ur going to reinstall the OS, better do a clean install :P....and props to the guy for putting effort into this, was quite informative
Agreed. I have found that upgrading from Vista to 7 results in no speed/performance improvements. However, if I wipe the same system and do a clean install of 7, everything runs much more quickly.
Interesting video, wonder if its possible to do on 1 set of hardware rather than through a VM.
Awe, Windows 3.1, welcome back old friend. Had that baby running on a 486 DX2 66. Now that booted up fast.
Ah, it brings back the memories and was quite interesting. I started off with MS-DOS 3.2 and did a few DOS upgrades up to 6.22 (if my memory is correct). On Windows I went from 1.0 to 7, such fun times...
I did a 95 to 98 to 98se to ME sequence, at least I think I did... Probably didn't because at some point along the way you'd expect continual BSODs But at least I ran all 4 of those on one computer over the years.
Windows 2000 set up an account for previous Win98 user.
Anybody noticed that Windows 2.0 actually allowed *more* colour-customization than Windows 7?
Your amazing not only for your skill In putting this together but, for not snapping and killing anyone In the process.
I started out with win 3.1 and except for ME and Vista I'm still pounding away with windows..
Great job.
Nice video,quite insightful. My first windows was 95 or 98,i dont exactly remember since they looked the same to me!

As a Spartan Racer and parent of two Spartan children, I couldn't be prouder to see my son and daughter compete in a Spartan Race. I look forward to the day when we can race side by side.
Thank you Spartan Race for having the only obstacle race for Children. It means so much to me to be able to spend time training with and bond with my children while doing something I am so passionate about. And to watch my daughter finish was awesome. She had such a look of accomplishment on her face. It has been a real confidence booster for her. In this Technologically advanced day and age, you are a big help in getting people off the couch and living life. Thank you.
It means everything to me that my son ran his first Spartan Race at age 10. My son has not given himself too much credit for being in good shape, but the race has given him a complete turnaround in confidence and motivation. I am no not able to attend any Spartan Races without him coming along for the kid's race. We are currently having an argument right now on why he cannot come along to Vermont for me doing the Ultra Beast. This one is tough to explain to him but I will not let him skip any others that I am able to attend.
A family that Spartans together, stays together!!! Spartan Race Kid Race, best day care ever!!!
My son has not raced yet but he gets pissed each time we go to a race and they wont let him run cause he is only three. There will be no prouder moment for me next year to watch my little guy earn his first spartan medal at 4 yrs old!!
Watching my daughter and all the other kids compete in the kids race was amazing! It gave me hope in our future. There is so much media on obese kids, watching the little athletes give it there all showed me the future is looking bright!
So proud of my daughter Sabrina, she just ran the Spartan Race and is covered in mud head to toe and all I can do is look at her and smile!
My 13 year old ran at the Mid Atlantic. Hobie was his gladiator; that made an impression that will last a lifetime. He is a LAX star but the foot work Hobie has kept him from getting around. I know he will be training with me for his first full Spartan next year :-) Thanks for allowing him to get a taste and benefiting the Kids Fit Foundation is a sweet cherry on top of the entire thing
Instead of having a babysitter watch the kids, bring them out to the races. There's something for every age group to get involved in.

20 Eco-Friendly Gifts Under $25Simran Sethi's 20 gifts that tread lightly on the earth and are kind to your wallet.
By Simran Sethi
Eco-Organizational IdeasI dream of being an organized gal. You know, the kind who has everything pared down, properly labeled and in its right place. The recycled/recyclable plastic Jimi wallet forces me to streamline. The small wallet with detachable money clip is slim and sexy for boys and girls, but it holds just the bare essentials. I started off using it for jaunts to the tennis court and public pool, but now I can't conceive of going back to my bulky (and pricier) leather wallet. Plus, the company is committed to using lower-impact materials, avoiding sweatshop labor and manufacturing products in the United States.

Apple Unveils Pencil-Thin iPad Mini
Apple unveiled its iPad Mini on Tuesday. This smaller tablet is set to compete against the Amazon Kindle Fire and Google's Nexus 7. Apple's other product announcements, about notebook and desktop computers, demonstrate the company's technical innovation on many platforms.
Copyright © 2012 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
OK. Let's talk a little more about a small screen. Of course, Apple has dominated the tablet computer market with its iPad. The company says it's sold 100 million of them, but it's had some competition from smaller rivals - smaller screens, that is. Amazon's Kindle and Google's Nexus can easily fit in a purse, or even a jacket pocket. So, as expected, yesterday, Apple introduced a smaller version of the iPad - bigger than an iPhone, smaller than the iPad, the iPad Mini. NPR's Laura Sydell reports.
LAURA SYDELL, BYLINE: The iPad Mini has been in the rumor mill for weeks, but reporters and a select group of Apple fans finally got to see it at a theater yesterday in downtown San Jose. Apple Senior Vice President Phil Schiller flashed a picture of the Mini.
PHIL SCHILLER: I think we can tell by our excitement you know what this is. This is iPad Mini.
SYDELL: The iPad Mini is 7.9 inches at the diagonal, and 7.2 millimeters thick.
SCHILLER: To put it in context, it's as thin as a pencil. It weighs just .68 pounds. So, in context, what can you compare that to? It's as light as a pad of paper.
SYDELL: After the announcement, I picked up the new iPad Mini, and it was wafer-thin and a lot lighter than I thought it would be.
You know, I have to say, I felt like, oh, my God. It's like a cracker.
FRANK GILLETT: Yeah, yeah. It's that light. I mean, literally, you pick it up and you're, like, wow. Where's the weight?
SYDELL: That's Forrester analyst Frank Gillett. He's pretty bullish on the iPad Mini, though at $329, it's more expensive than its two biggest competitors. They would be the Google Nexus 7 and the Amazon Kindle HD, which start at 200 bucks. But Gillett thinks the Mini will sell itself.
GILLETT: It's amazing to pick up and hold or to look at. And the moment people do that, they're going to have a hard time with the choice: Do I spend the extra money or not? Some will choose not to, but I think a lot will.
SYDELL: The iPad Mini is faster than its rivals, and it's got nice features, like it can make HD videos. And Apple isn't just showing off the new iPad Mini to stuff in Christmas stockings. It's upgraded some bigger products that will need to go under the tree. Gillett's excited by the Fusion Drive for Apple's desktop, the iMac. It sounds geeky, but by combining a regular hard drive and a flash drive, Gillett says it make starting and using software on the computer faster.
GILLETT: Right now, the way we use computers, there's a lot of hesitation and stuttering. It breaks flow. When you have the flash memory stuff - and the fusion drive will bring it at a more reasonable price - then you can stay in the flow. You don't have to think about the computer. You just use it.
SYDELL: Apple also upgraded its regular iPad and introduced a thinner, lighter, faster 13-inch MacBook Pro. And Apple recently put out its new iPhone 5 and a new line of iPods. Gartner analyst Mark McGuire says there's something for everyone going into the holiday.
MARK MCGUIRE: What they're reminding everybody of is the top-to-bottom ecosystem. This is incredibly strong, and they've now replenished that ecosystem for the next several months.
SYDELL: But Apple isn't the only one replenishing. Microsoft has a new tablet coming out this week, and Google is also scheduled to release new products this week. It hasn't said what they are, but chances are good at least one of them will fit into a stocking. Laura Sydell, NPR News, San Francisco.

After spending some time yesterday working with my new iPod Touch, I knew I'd better get some expert help. My friends, Kathy Schrock and Tony Vincent, long know for their "handheld" computer expertise, have resources to help me investigate what's "out there"!
Kathy's blog lists the apps on her iPhone (she upgraded from her Touch to the iPhone) and some of them I have already downloaded using both the method of downloading directly from the Touch itself and also from the iTunes interface. I like to read the description on the computer screen to see where the directions for use (such as games) and for the user reviews. I still keep a paper list of which ones I have installed with any comments I have while working with them.
Tony Vincent's blog, Learning in Hand, also has an excellent set of resources, with tips and hints. That's my next step, check what I have downloaded and read Tony's advice.

Maverick Risk
JJ explores different ways to be unconventional in terms of exposure, weightings and asset classes. Also noted is the synonymous term coined by GMO; career risk. Going with the crowd has an element of comfort because it is better to be wrong in the same manner as everyone else than to be wrong all by yourself. Maverick Risk means being able break free of the fear of being wrong by yourself.
While I might be reading what I want to read I think this idea, in the big picture sense has been a big focus of my writing and more importantly built into client portfolios.
The way I would suggest individuals apply this Maverick Risk is to be willing to entertain allocations that most people will not use. There needs to be an assumption of being willing to spend a certain amount of time on the task.
The mainstream (you can take that as both media and most of the professionals you see on TV and read on the web) is very slow to embrace anything new; Morningstar still doesn't understand ETFs. How many investment managers come on TV recommending domestic mega cap stocks no matter what is going on in the world? How many times have you heard "this will be the year for Japan?" Probably a little less knowable but how many managers do you suppose continue to have portfolios that look a lot like SPY/IWM/EFA?
Think about the last five or ten years and what has done well and what has done poorly. Chances are that if you underweighted the same old-same old you did much better than the comfortably wrong crowd. I would refer you to Bespoke Investment Group's decade numbers for all the markets in the world. I've made the point repeatedly that as the S&P 500 was going down 24% on a price basis and the EFA was annualized out to about 3.5% per year gain there were plenty of markets that had normal decades and plenty others that had much better than normal decades.
Likewise there were some themes that might not have been mainstream five or ten years ago that have done very well and are likely to continue to do very well but broad funds don't capture them. Over the years I have written about all sorts of themes and countries that not too many people have exposure to. Everyone I've ever explored came from something else I read that seemed interesting for one reason or another, some of which I have implemented into client portfolios.
Two ideas I have mentioned a couple of times have been Mongolia and cement. Van Eck has an ETF for Mongolia in the works and if it turns out to be very heavy in resources (some combo of energy and materials) then it might make sense to add that in as a means of increasing volatility of the portfolio at such a time that more volatility is desirable. While there is no cement ETF in the works that I know of it is not impossible that there could be one but as I sit here now it is not clear to me that cement, as part of the materials sector, would be a better place to be than mining, metals or agriculture. To the extent cement is part of the infrastructure theme, of which I am a big believer, I would rather access the theme via some combo of industrials and utilities which are large exposures in the iShares Emerging Market Infrastructure ETF (EMIF) that we own for clients.
All of this plays into top down portfolio construction, at least I think it does. Most of the decisions that I've made in the portfolio over the years have been very obvious when thought of in the big picture. I've joked before about how many times are you going to read that the housing and mortgage markets in Europe and the UK are deteriorating rapidly before you take action (obviously pertains to several years ago)? If you know the track record for a sector growing larger than 20% of the SPX is very bad aren't you going to underweight it? If a country has very little debt and an abundance of something the world must have aren't you going to figure a way in?
The term Maverick Risk has not really been a front burner term in this process. When constructing a portfolio of narrow products it seems only logical that time should be spent figuring out what to avoid, it just makes the task easier. Likewise if you can isolate some very obvious themes were money is going to flow. While maybe this is Maverick Risk, I actually think of it as being less risky.

you know what, this is right. I need to take a few more risks. Gonna have to make a call tomorrow.

Good point - learning to love uncomfortable whereas everyone loves comfort. Example - Silver at 25$ entry and 43$ exit. I took so much heat for both points but stuck to the decision.
Roger, where do you find the list of countries which have 'abundance' ? One I know of is CIA world fact book. Would love to hear the options you have to learn more. - 10:49 AM

no great answer for you MN, between WSJ, SA, FT, Bloomberg, various links I see on Twitter and RSS feeds I tend to get a fair bit of info. From there if I need more i go to the central bank page for the relevant country and even Wikipeida. Sometimes I also end up at the Economist.

Agree that adding well-reasoned spice makes sense for just about every wealth program.
Some speculation for investment purposes is good. Obsessive trading compulsion is bad.
There are a few folks in our coastal plantation communities who tried to make up what they lost on their house value by active trading in the markets (as like many areas, we have free lunches to have someone shill a can't miss road to riches stock scheme - some buy into it).I suspect they reasoed that after a successful career in business or the professions, how hard could following a process of making a quick, sustainable profit with all their prior university degrees be?You can imagine the result. One unfortunate fellow lost his home, his invested wealth and his wife of thirty-some years (I have had a disagreement with my spouse about who won with his wife leaving, but that's another story).He is presently working at Home Depot.

From Market Wizard Larry Hite
"Risk is a no-fooling around game; it does not allow for mistakes. If you do not manage the risk, eventually they will carry you out."
I distinguish between investing and trading/speculating. The average successful business professional thinks successful trading is about education, or knowledge, or pedigree, or whatever and all that it is BS. It is about having a process with some "edge" and than the discipline to follow it and take small losses before they become catastrophic losses and you end up working at Home Depot or Walmart. - 2:56 PM

Maverick Risk is not a bad way of viewing contrarianism but it's not about always going against the crowd of course -- quite often the crowd is right and can move markets regardless even when wrong (at least for a time) -- it is about being suspicious of the convenient, the story that too readily confirms prejudice, the honey trap.
MikeC, exactly so -- level of education, business experience, etc are not the critical factors (although those who indulge in the politics of resentment often choose one or the other) -- what matters is the development of a process, the discipline to follow it and the pragmatism to change it as circumstance demands; a semi-decent bullsh*t detector doesn't hurt either.
I have the highest academic degrees a university can offer and the analytic discipline required to earn them has served me well but I did not make my first million by relying on them ...nor the second if it comes to that. - 6:48 PM

Hi Roger and All- Thanks for considering my blog post. No doubt Roger's willingness to embrace "maverick risk" and do things differently has been rewarding (see: MPT, CAPM, etc. isn't all BS, there is a relationship between risk and return!).
A couple of thoughts:
Roger's point is spot on-- embracing maverick risk often results in LESS risky portfolios. Especially if you define risk as permanent loss of capital or the inability to meet your goals/obligations.
RW's point about contrarianism for contrarianism's sake is also important-- in fact I considered adding it to this post but decided to address it in another separate post. Please consider this great post which was my inspiration http://dynamichedge.com/2011/01/10/are-you-a-coif/ on the danger of COIFs (Contrary Opinion Indifferent to Fact).
Thanks again for all your comments and please subscribe for email notifications of my posts at my site-- I usually will write 1-2x week. - 1:56 PM

The child was found on his father's lap. Tyler says investigators had not yet uncovered a motive for the murder-suicide.

Recipe for Protection When should cooking equipment be protected?
NFPA Journal®, November/December 2009
The protection of cooking equipment isn't a new topic, but it's one I'm often asked about when I teach seminars and consult. Many people think all cooking equipment, except that in one- and two-family dwellings, must be protected, so let me offer a bit of clarification.
September - October 2009 More elevator considerations from the latest Life Safety Code
July - August 2009 Why you need to pay particular attention to the inspection of doors
May - June 2009 Smoke dampers, story counting, and more
March - April 2009 Boning up on the 2009 edition of the Life Safety Code
January - February 2009 Fire safety for mezzanines
November - December 2008 Remember, distance requirements are specified in the Life Safety Code
NFPA CODES/STANDARDS NFPA 96: Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations NFPA 101: Life Safety Code®
Section 9.2.3 of the 2009 edition of NFPA 101®, Life Safety Code®, entitled "Commercial Cooking Equipment," refers to the 2008 edition of NFPA 96, Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations, the scope of which is to "provide the minimum fire safety requirements (preventative and operative) related to the design, installation, operation, inspection, and maintenance of all public and private cooking operations." NFPA 96 also applies to residential cooking equipment used for commercial cooking operations. However, it excludes residential cooking equipment in kitchens equipped with a fire extinguisher, as long as the facility is not an assembly occupancy, and where the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) has approved the installation.
Section 1.1.4 of NFPA 96 is particularly interesting, as it excludes residential equipment but requires AHJ approval. Section 1.2 states that "the purpose of this standard shall be to reduce the potential fire hazard of cooking operations, irrespective of the type of cooking equipment used and whether used in public or private facilities."
The Life Safety Code clarifies when protection is required and when it isn't. NFPA 96 is only mandated when Section 9.2.3 of the Life Safety Code specifically references it. Section 9.2.3 makes clear in its reference to "commercial cooking equipment" that residential-type equipment need not comply with NFPA 96. Section 3.2, "Protection from Hazards," of each occupancy chapter of the Life Safety Code then has specific references to exclude residential cooking equipment used for limited cooking or to warm food.
The occupancy chapters for assembly, mercantile, and business occupancies state that cooking equipment must be protected in accordance with Section 9.2.3, unless it is outdoor equipment, portable equipment not connected to a flue, or used only to warm food. In educational occupancies, cooking facilities must also be protected in accordance with Section 9.2.3, as must cooking facilities in detention and correctional occupancies. Domestic cooking equipment used for food warming or limited cooking in day-care occupancies need not be protected where approved by the AHJ. And domestic cooking equipment used for limited cooking or to warm food in health care and ambulatory health care occupancies need not be protected or installed in separate food preparation facilities. No special AHJ approval is specified.
The Life Safety Code's industrial and storage occupancy chapters do not mention the protection of cooking equipment, and no special provisions for the protection of residential-type cooking equipment are included in residential occupancy chapters.
The Life Safety Code recognizes that a ventilation hood and fixed extinguishing system may not be required for typical residential cooking equipment. In some occupancies, however, the AHJ may be required to approve the cooking equipment installation. And a dining area with an occupant load of 50 or more people in any occupancy is considered an assembly area and must therefore comply with the NFPA 96 requirements for assembly occupancies, although fixed protection and a ventilation system may not be required where a residential stove is installed for limited cooking or to warm food.

#8 Archie Manning, Quarterback, Ole Miss, 1971-1982
Throughout the 70's, the New Orleans Saints had precious few players they could call superstars. But one of those superstars was a red headed All-American from Drew, Mississippi.
Archie Manning was the Saints 1st pick in 1971 and the second player taken overall following an almost legendary career at Ole Miss. He had 4,753 career yards, and his 56 TDs are still a school record. All-SEC in 1969 and 1970, he was 4th in the Heisman Trophy award voting in 1969 and 3rd in 1970.
Saint's Fans will never forget Archie Manning's first NFL start against the Los Angeles Rams. Archie passed for 1 score and, as time ran out, he boot-legged it in from the 1 to give the Saints the upset 24-20. In another 24-14 upset over the eventual Super Bowl champs Dallas, he ran for 2 scores.
Unfortunately, for the rest of his career victories were few and far between. It was not until the arrival of Dick Nolan that Archie began to get much deserved respect. Nolan built upon what former coach Hank Stram had started and got some offensive tools for Archie to work with. With a formidable running game in Chuck Muncie and Tony Galbreath, a group of quality receivers in Ike Harris, Wes Chandler, and Tight End Henry Childs and an offensive line that could give some protection, Archie was named NFC MVP in 1978, and made the Pro Bowl in 1978 and 1979. In New Orleans, Archie set virtually every passing record and still holds most yards, TDs, attempts and completions in a career.
In 1982, as Archie was beginning his 11th season in New Orleans. After a 21-7 season-opener loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, Bum Phillips opted to discard a Saints icon in favor of aging NFL legend Ken Stabler. The next 4 years he played a total of 17 games between the Houston Oilers and Minnesota Vikings. After his retirement in 1985, he did Saints games on the radio for several years and still announces exhibition games from time to time on TV.
Watching Archie as a teenager playing Little League and High School football, I always held him in the highest regards. Playing on some of the worst teams in professional football, he was always a professional act. I don't remember him ever railing on the Saints or complaining. Every Sunday he remained competitive and was always the team leader. I still vividly remember him chasing a Detroit defensive lineman off the field after he had been sacked. The said Lion had supposedly attempted to step on Archie's hand.
Despite the Saints lack of success during his career, Archie still retains his sense of humor. He was color-commentating during a Saint game when the Saints managed a 2-play scoring drive. The other commentator asked if Archie had ever experienced that as a Saint..... a 2 play scoring drive. Archie did shoot back that they did manage a 3 play scoring drive once. He quickly added that the other team thought it was halftime and had left for the locker room early.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Football fans at the 33rd annual Chargers Blood Drive got a treat Tuesday with an appearance by former star linebacker Junior Seau, who is scheduled to be inducted into the team's Hall of Fame on Sunday.
The event, at the Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, benefits the San Diego Blood Bank.
Appearing with Seau in the first few hours of the blood drive were current Charger players Vincent Brown, Shaun Phillips and Mike Tolbert, and former placekickers John Carney and Rolf Benirschke.
The blood drive began in 1979 when the team and blood bank teamed in honor of Benirschke, who had two major surgeries within six days for ulcerative colitis. More than 50,000 pints of blood have been collected in the years since, according to blood bank officials.
Donors receive a Chargers Blood Drive T-shirt, which can be autographed by players from the football team.
The blood drive was scheduled to end at 6 p.m., following a fashion show featuring players and family members.

This is from "The Best Traditional Recipes of Greek Cooking". I have posted it as writted in the book, but when I made them, instead of frying them on both sides, I fried them until they were cooked on the bottom and almost set, then placed them under the grill to set the top. I used cheese kransky for the sausages (simply because I had them on hand), which worked well. I would love to try it with Greek sausages or chorizo next time. This was a very filling, tasty brunch, and it was easy to adapt to the number of servings we needed.

Recipe by Elaine
"Apricot and peach fried pies have the best flavor of any fried pie I've ever eaten. My family loves these great pies. My grandmother made this up years ago. I have made this delicious fried pie for over 40 years. Enjoy!"
Watch video tips and tricks
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup shortening
1 cup milk
8 ounces dried apricots
1 (6 ounce) package dried peaches
3/4 cup white sugar
water to cover
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
I've been making fried apricot pies ever since my mother in law showed me how 40 yrs ago. The crust was always a bit tricky but this is the most perfect crust for frying easy to make and handle and best tasting yet. The apricots we used came from the largest tree in Las Vegas..two stories high and at least4 ft around and probably a few decads old. The best apricots I have ever tasted grew on it. We cooked them down with sugar till we had a sweet thick puree for the pies. But I have to say using the dried fruit is supurb. I love this recipe and fry them in a deep fryer..wrap them in paper towels and put them in a shoe box in the frig..just like she showed me. Thank you so much for this great recipe. Its a real keeper
i tried these with apples, and they fell apart while frying. i always get these great ideas to make doughnuts or fried pies, and i always regret it because of the mess and all the greasy food. If i were you, i would rather go to the store and buy those microwaveable mini apple pies with the glaze. They are tasty, quick, and no mess! Trust me, i would choose home-made over store bought any day so this recipe has to be disappointing for me to go to store bought!

One of the recipes my Great Grandmother brought with her in a covered wagon to California was for Apricot Fried Pies. My recipe was noted that it was her Great-Great Grandmothers recipe! I have made these for years for my children and now, grandchildren. These are wonderful to take on picnics.
Excellent crust, fried up great, even good the next day. Wonder if you could use this crust for regular pies that are baked? I had my own filling...I always cut up my apricots into smaller pieces. I spray a pair of sissors with vegetable spray and cut each dried apricot into 4 pieces. Place in water to cover and simmer until falling-apart tender...then I add the sugar and other seasonings. I use minute tapioca as a thickening agent. A tablespoon or two will do great. Allow to stand at room temp until cooled and the filling will thicken.
It's too bad that I can only offer five stars; I'd love to give a lot more! I now use this particular crust for EVERYTHING. I even used it for a pot pie recipe. I have made little crust "squares", baked until brown, then spreading jam on them. Yummy for sure; the family loves them. Oh...yes, I've made this recipe as it's written, and it doesn't get any better. Thank you so much!
This recipe was great!! Crust was excellent, but I rolled my crust a little thicker and made 13 pies instead of 18...and the filling was perfect...I stuff my pies a little thicker. I also used only apricots instead of the apricot/peach mixture. I dabbed a little cold water on the inside edges and it prevented the pies from opening during the fry process. Very enjoyable!!!
My mother-in-law had the biggest apricot tree Ive ever seen in her yard in Las Vegas. It was at least 30 feet high and the trunk was hugh. Probably four feet around...they cut it down years later and put a bank where their house once stood. Vegas will never be the same! She gave me my first taste of fried pies and I was hooked. I never could make them as good as hers. She was a fantastic cook and taught me a lot. That was over 40 yrs. ago. She used a basic pie crust and fried them in an electric skillet. Mine always were pretty good but I was never satisfied with the crust. It was difficult to work with and fry. Yours is awsome. Answer to my prayers. And using the dried fruit is even better than fresh. Milk makes the crust great for frying and holds it all together giving them a great texture and flavor. I use a deep fryer and they come out crisp and not oily. I pack them in a shoe box and paper towels in the frig. Just the way she did. They don't last long. I heard these little pies originated on the covered wagon trail because they could carry dried fruit,flour and of coarse a cow. Thank you so very much for a Great recipe.
This is one of the best fried pie recipes I have ever tried. I especially like the crust, because most fried pie crust isn't flaky, and this one is. I recently made them to take on a trip, and they also travel well.

Terminal block series for DCS marshalling applications
Weidmuller's WMF 2.5 terminal block series simplifies wiring, reduces cabinet space, increases functionality, and expands wire routing and signal distribution capabilities.
Weidmuller announces the introduction of an innovative new terminal block series, the WMF 2.5 (Weidmuller Multi Function). This new series is specifically designed for the challenging demands of DCS marshalling applications– notably to simplify wiring, reduce required cabinet space, increase functionality, and expand wire routing and signal distribution capabilities. Even with the existence of alternative technologies such as remote I/O and Field bus, terminal blocks still play a crucial role in DCS marshalling. The WMF 2.5 series offers an uncomplicated connection that ensures a clear arrangement of electrical circuits and provides one of the best possible solutions for signal termination in the process and power generation industries.
The WMF 2.5 terminal block series features several new functions in a single profile, and boasts a width of just 5 mm. These new functions include feed-through, fusing and quick disconnects. The WMF 2.5 terminals incorporate advances such as an integrated shield or ground (PE) connection, and three separate jumpering channels to accommodate parallel and series jumpering. In addition to the ability to terminate each individual signal with a screw connection, the new WMF 2.5 series offers the option to use a pre-assembled cable that features Weidmuller's pluggable BLZ connectors. The connectors can be plugged directly into the bank of terminal blocks, creating a "plug-and-play" option that reduces wiring time.
Weidmuller's new WMF 2.5 terminal block series includes clearly identified, black fuse terminals that are equipped with a robust pivoting fuse holder. This feature enables quick and easy fuse replacement as the holder rotates upward, avoiding any interference with adjacent terminals. Also designed in a slim 5mm width, the new fuse terminal provides significant space-savings over existing fuse terminals of comparable electrical function. An optional LED status indicator clearly shows if the fuse is OK or needs replacement. The LED circuit is designed to produce minimal leakage current (<0.5 mA) when the fuse is blown, eliminating the potential for false status indication to the PLC or DCS.
The WMF 2.5 terminals feature Weidmuller's standard setting, vibration-proof and maintenance-free screw clamp termination technology. They are electrically rated for 600 V/25A/26-12AWG, and have UL and CSA approvals.

Charlize Theron Prepares To Wage A 'Silent War'
Charlize Theron has been having a pretty good time recently on film, showing her comedic range in "Young Adult" and diving into sci-fi and fantasy with scenery-chewing turns in "Prometheus" and "Snow White and the Huntsman."
However, according to The Hollywood Reporter, fun time is now over, as Theron is producing and may star in a deadly serious film about the life of slain war correspondent Marie Colvin.
Hey, at least she'll get to wear an eyepatch.
One of the best known and most important war correspondents of the last quarter century, Marie Colvin was renowned for her fearlessness. Reporting from behind the lines in such hot spots as Kosovo, Chechnya and Sierra Leone, Colvin lost an eye in a grenade attack in Sri Lanka carried out by troops targeting journalists. Donning an eyepatch, she returned to cover conflicts throughout the Middle East before being killed in a rocket blast in Syria last year in another attack believed to have been targeting reporters.
Besides inspiring a generation of journalists, Colvin's courage and conviction also inspired Vanity Fair author Marie Brenner to write about her life and death in a piece titled "Marie Colvin's Private War," which chronicles Colvin's struggle with post traumatic stress disorder and her three rocky marriages. And now it's caught the attention of Theron and her producing partner Basil Iwanyk, who plan to adapt the story for the big screen.
Of course, nothing is set in stone yet, but it would seem to be the perfect vehicle for Theron to flex her serious acting muscles once again. We can't wait to see her fight the good fight.

The Program also sponsors lectures and other events that are open to the public, as well as providing informal opportunities for students with interests in Latin America to interact with each other and with Program faculty. For more information, please contact Professor Andrew Fisher, Program Director, or any of our other program representatives.
