Authentic Looking, Cute, Fits Well, Lots of Fun, Mad Hatter, Unique
Best Uses:
Alice in wonderland, Costume Party, Ever After High, Just For Fun, Madeline Hatter, Trick Or Treating, Wear To School/Work
Describe Yourself:
Adventurous, Classic, Trendy
Was this a gift?:
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I bought this for my daughter who wanted to be Madeline Hatter from Ever After High. This dress look very similar to the one the doll is wearing and the top hat headband is too cute. The costume arrived in about 4 days and my 6 yr old loves it. I ordered size 5-7 and it fits perfectly. She'll have to wear leggings and a long sleeve shirt underneath to go trick or treating cause we live in Chicago and the dress is really thin. We r very happy with the costume, it is very coloful,whimsical and different.

There's nothing better in the South than sitting on the porch in the afternoon, watching the sun go down, and having a glass of wine. Or in my case a gin and tonic.
I love to transform a porch into a true outdoor room. Just because it's made for the inside doesn't mean that it can't go outdoors.
Luckily, we now have wonderful outdoor fabrics in the market that make things easier for decorating. I love to use whicker, baskets, tons of pillows, and rugs. I have even been known to bring lamps out onto porches. You can always just run it in if the rain is coming!
There's nothing more wonderful than filling a porch with tons of candles. And in Savannah, citronella candles are your friends. The bugs will carry you away! I love to plant a gardenia or two near the porch, because there's nothing better than the smell of gardenia at dusk. It's also always nice to have a potted herb garden on the porch, even it's just for running your hand through and getting a smell of the fresh herbs.
My dogs Simon and Charlie LOVE to lay out on the porch with me as well. So don't forget a nice comfy dog bed for the pets. (I love the dog beds from Harry Barker.)
One of my favorite things in the summer to do is to go antiquing and find wonderful containers that cost $5 or $10 and then fill them with annual plants. Even if at the end of the season the container is ruined, at least it's served a purpose for that season.
I like porches that are monochromatic, and getting a pop of color from the flowers that I use. And if you keep the porch monochromatic, it's easy to pop color through the season for different parties and events. I personally love to keep the porch all green, because green just seems to work outside. The best thing about outdoor living is that everything doesn't have to be perfect. Paint can be chipping off the chair, the table can be slightly rotting, or you can have mold growing on the rug; it all adds a certain Old Southern charm.
Especially here in the South, we love our giant hanging baskets- the bigger the better. Giant Boston ferns, giant baskets of ivy and impatients. And there's nothing prettier than a giant hanging basket of red geraniums and English ivy.
If you read my book, Paula Deen's Savannah Style with Brandon Branch, you will have noticed there are no ceiling fans pictured in the book except for on porches. Indoor ceiling fans are my pet peeve - I don't believe in them. I believe ceiling fans are only made for porches. With temperatures soaring into the 100's in the South, a ceiling fan is a nice bonus to an outdoor room.
So this summer get outside, get to decorating, get your hands in the dirt and have a gin and tonic on me!

Just noticed your expertize(sorry I'm a late bloomer)& just LOVE your ideas for a porch. Now if I could only get my husband & sons to build one for me to enjoy I'd be set. I also love your gardens too. My area is getting ready for the Kentucky Derby & hope they pay attention to you & Paula,they could use the help! You need to come visit & enjoy our mint juleps, & parties. Keep up the great work you both do.

Brandon, Love your ideas and the book is fabulous. My husband and I met you at A Spring Evening with Paula Deen for Bethesda and I met you again at her new home when she had 12 come and cook and have dinner for Safe House. You rode back to your house with us as we were staying at the Kehoe. Our ranch house is now built but needs your touch, come to Texas and decorate!! And if you are ever in need for a little Texas flare at one of your dinner parties, we would be glad to help you out! Take care and keep doing what you do. Sincerely Lori Lesley

Brandon,This is Mary the lady that made the table cloth and napkins for Paula in October.I'm getting ready to do some things in my home.I haven't done anything since my husband died in 2003.Is there a cataloge of Paula's furniture line?I have things that are my Mom's,his Mom's and things that belonged to greatparents and grandparents.Of course I'm gonna use them.I'm a little nervous about making the changes wanting them to be right.I wish you could be here to do it for me.There wasn't one thing in Paula's house that I didn't like.The bed they showed when she was in North Carolina (the black iron one) I just love.I thought I could use it with the antique's from the grandparents.Sorry, I could go on for ever talking about what I want to do in my house.Love and Blessings,Mary
By MARY2711 on May 11, 2011
Love your porch. I try to decorate my patio but it is mostly in the shade. and I love to be working in my yard. Last year I added a Clair de Lune garden.
By Brigitte on May 10, 2011
Brandon is fantastic and I love his style. He was on HGTV's Christmas Special with Trisha Yearwood. His special Southern Style mixed in with holiday decorations was great.And of course I have his and Paula's Savannah Style Book. I have a great front porch and I love to use Brandon's ideas to help decorate mine. I would love to meet him. Thanks, Cathy Alford

I cant wait to read more of these! I am a southern gal living in the Netherlands. I just recently moved into a small appartment with a tiny balcony. The set up gives an outdoor feel to my little livingroom/kitchen area. I love sitting here with my doors and windows open and feeling like I am outside. I think a southern touch is just what this place is asking for. Definately looking forward to more ideas.

I cant wait to read more of these. I am a southern girl who lives in the Netherlands. I have recently moved to a very small appartment with a small balcony but with the windows and door to the balcony open I have the feeling of being outdoors. I think the southern touch is just what this little place is asking for. I will be checking often for more of your wonderful ideas.

I know this isn't very polite but I think I need those two adorable babies of yours. I am 61 years old and been a widow for 10 years now. I used to have two beautiful Shit tzu's that I lost 2 years ago. They were the love of my life at the time. My husband was a High School teacher and Football Coach for 36 years before he died. He used to give my little Bogie his wrist watch when he would come home from school at nite. My little Bogie would run and hid with it and lick the salt off of it. After he died, Bogie would just get so excited if I would shake that watch. I just know that he missed his Daddy so much. Anyway, you said your babies found you a husband and I think it is time for me to finally step up to the plate and find me a friend also. So could you help me out and loan me your babies for a while. I promise I would love them just as much as you do. I think they might need their bed also, so could you please mail that too?;) All kidding aside I watch your shows all the time and when I cook something wonderful I call myself Paula. Hmm I hope that isn't identity theft is it? I do love your porch photos. I love see other things you do beside cooking which I love to watch.
By Mary Paine on May 06, 2011
Paula I Love your porch. It looks Southern elegant. Could you please stop by my house and make mine look just like yours? Im a huge fan of yours you inspire me. LOL Susan

I LOVE PORCHES !!!! just to sit out on the porch and drink my morning tea or watch the sun go down !!!

Looks Beautiful On!
By Bee
from Toronto
I bought this beautiful necklace in silver for my daughter and after seeing it on her I had to get one for myself! I like the texture of the beads with a suttle shimmer.

Classy & Elegant
By Ethel
from Ontario
I bought this necklace in the silver tone and it is beautiful, classy and elegant. The beads are small but a nice weight. I love the hand knotting in between the beads, which makes it look like a very expensive necklace. It is lovely doubled around the neck and is a perfect alternative to pearls. It fits well under a collar if you like this look and is a good layering piece too. I have bought many of Joan's small bead necklaces over the years and I must say she does them very, very well.
Lovely necklace
By Grandma
from Kingston, Ontario
I didn't make a mistake when I ordered the gold tone textured bead necklace. It blends perfectly with my real gold necklace and wearing them together creates a very interesting and beautiful look. Being gold tone it goes very well with everything you are wearing. I love it!

Elegant Necklace
By Jewelry Fanatic
I purchased this necklace in the rose gold to go with real rose gold (high gloss) earrings and rings I already owned. This necklace mixes beautifully with the real gold even though the textures are different - the result looks more interesting. I was pleasantly surprised by the weight of the beads which feels substantial but not too heavy. The small size and texture of the beads make it look elegant. This necklace is easy to put on over your head and you don't have to worry about clasps rolling around your neck - there's no clasp.I tried wrapping it around my wrist five times and it looked so rich - it drapes, nestling comfortably without rolling off your hand. (I know you can buy matching bracelets but I was concerned they may be too tight for my wrist.) So then I purchased a second necklace. Sometimes I wear the second one as a five-strand bracelet and sometimes I just wear the two necklaces together; either long or doubled. Doubling two necklaces into four strands around the neck is fantastic - so rich for evening wear. It also looks great when you tie a knot at the front - like a "y" necklace. This piece, being so versatile and easy to wear, has become one of my "go-to" options. I also like that the rose gold plating does not wear off with use. I've found this to be a problem with other rose gold plated jewelry but not with this piece. Love it!

Rosetone is lovely
By Savvy shopper
from BURLINGTON
A delicate necklace. I bought the rosetone to go with my 14kt rose gold jewellery, and I think it blends nicely. For costume jewellery, it looks very nice, and that is why I gave it 5 stars.


text: Mysterious and elaborate paper sculptures have been popping up in locations around Edinburgh's literary scene for months, and Central Stn user chrisdonia has documented the awesomeness for all to see. As of yet, nobody seems to know the identity of the artist who is gifting these works to libraries, theaters, and literary spaces across the city, but I can't imagine a more charming and marvelous thing to come across during a routine wander through the stacks! Each sculpture was made using book pages and covers, and each has a note attached with the twitter handle of the place where the sculpture was left, the words "A gift in support of libraries, books, words, ideas," and sometimes a more personalized piece of prose describing importance of the location. More photos of these wonderful sculptures can be found in the Paper Sculptures set on chrisdonia's Flickr.

Strength Beyond Stoke: Tedy & Heidi Brushi's Story
At 4 am on February 15, 2005 just days after another Super Bowl win and his first trip to the Pro Bowl, Tedy Bruschi faced his toughest opponent yet, a stroke. Working with his caregivers from Spaulding and the support of his wife Heidi and his family he made a stunning recovery.
Just over 8 months later Tedy made history as the first NFL player to return to the field following a stroke. Now as advocates for stroke awareness and an author of the best seller "Never Give Up", Tedy and Heidi have become champions both on and off the field as an inspiration to millions.
Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital and Tedy Bruschi have teamed up to create a new online resource to help people and families affected by stroke find the strength they need to improve.

Here's something you don't see everyday (thankfully).
Monica Dixon was arrested after allegedly stripping down to her underwear during a press conference outside the South Carolina capitol building yesterday. The press conference, which was intended to promote Palmetto Pride's Zero Tolerance for Litter Campaign, may have served to prove that littering is bad but walking around half naked is even worse.
So why did Dixon allegedly strip down to her underwear? Was it the weather or a form of protest? Maybe it was a wardrobe malfunction. No one really knows at this point but fortunately there IS video taken before she was escorted away by police.
At least getting strip searched back at the police station didn't very long at all.

Erysipelas is a superficial form of cellulitis typically caused by streptococci.
Erysipelas causes a shiny, painful, red, raised patch on the skin. The edges have distinct borders and do not blend into the nearby normal skin. The patch feels warm and firm to the touch. It occurs most frequently on the legs and face. People often have a high fever, chills, and a general feeling of illness (malaise).
Doctors base the diagnosis on the characteristic appearance of the rash.
Antibiotics given by mouth, such as penicillin, can cure the infection. For a severe infection, intravenous penicillin is needed. Cold packs and drugs for pain may relieve discomfort. Fungal foot infections may be an entry site for infection and may require treatment with antifungal drugs to prevent recurrence.

Police are investigating the death of a 57-year-old Chelsea man who was found bound and gagged Friday night in his apartment.
Officers were called to a building on West 22nd Street shortly before 8 p.m., where they found John Laubach unconscious and unresponsive.
Sources say Laubach's hands were tied to a bed, his hands, feet, and mouth were bound with duct tape, and there was a towel over his face.
His death has been ruled a homicide.
Neighbors described Laubach as a staple in the neighborhood who was often accompanied by a pet parrot.
"He was a nice guy that everyone noticed because he had a parrot on his shoulder," said one building resident. "He was a regular at the coffee shop all the time. He was a really nice guy and it's terrible. A murder in the neighborhood is awful."
Police were seen late Saturday removing the parrot from the building in a carrying case. Officers said it would be taken to the ASPCA.
Neighbor Juan Carlos Andaluz said he was shocked when his roommate told him the news of Laubach's death.
"He texted me that somebody died – he said 'They just killed somebody in the building,'" Andaluz said. "And I said, 'What?!' And I called him immediately because I wanted to find out who it was. Hopefully it wasn't related to a robbery or anything."
"He was well, he was happy," said another tenant. "So it was very sad getting that news when I came home."
Sources say Laubach was originally discovered by a female friend.
The medical examiner is working to determine the cause of death.
Anyone with information is being asked to call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS.

OLA flared frame woofer polarity question.
Posted 27 February 2012 - 10:58 PM
I recently refoamed some masonite OLA woofers and rebuilt the xo and don't recall reversed polarity on those. The xo in the current speakers looks just like the one in my masonite-ring OLAs. Pete identified this as the Rev 2 xo:
So are these wired wrong?

Not sure if this was a factory goof or a change in production. Both speakers were made in dec of 1969.

Is the dust cap paper or treated fabric?
It looks like what I call the Jensen design based on the motor.
Posted 05 March 2012 - 07:53 PM
Hi Pete
Here's a photo of the back. Numbers are 10 990 536 and 2202872. Dust caps were paper. I replaced them with cloth, which is somewhat porous. Thoughts?
Hi Kent
I see that there can be no guesswork about the numbers.
Very clear and durable numbers, sets a fine example of identifying part that others should also follow.
Posted 12 August 2012 - 12:55 AM
Just opened up a pair of OLA "The Advent Loudspeaker" utility cab speakers. These are not the masonite-ring type but the later all-steel flared frame type. Here's the question: The speaker terminals are marked with a red dot indicating + (I confirmed this with a battery). The xo wires are color coded red and black. In both speakers, the BLACK wires went to the positive speaker terminals.

I have a similar issue. I had gotten a metal framed woofer as a back up for my NLA's recently. I re-foamed it Friday and when I went to install it I found that the original woofers had a red dot on one terminal like you described and a red and a black wire. My spare woofer had no red dot but instead had a zero painted on the frame next to one of the terminals.
When I had re-foamed the woofers in this pair about a year ago the red wires were connected to the terminal with the red dot. What is the correct connection for the speaker with the terminal marked 0? Is the terminal marked 0 negative? Should the black wire be connected to this terminal?.
Posted 12 August 2012 - 12:49 PM
Posted 13 August 2012 - 01:36 PM
Use a battery (like a AA) to check the polarity of the speaker. With the battery + connected to the speaker + the cone should move outward. Once you determine which is the + terminal, mark it with either a red dot or a "+". Connect the red wire to the + on the woofer.
Thanks for the tip. The terminal with the zero marking was positive.

If he drops down to 154 and beats Cotto, Canelo and Floyd, I'd put him in the top 50 ATG. On paper, the records of his opposition would be superior to any other fighter in the world over the last 25 years or so.
Sergio is always going to be one of these guys that people want and expect more from, whether it be from envy, hate or the acknowledgment of his greatness. If he dominates an experienced boxer with 35 wins and no losses at the sake of missing an opportunity to fight a greener, undefeated guy with 15 wins and no losses, who has a little hype behind them, Sergio is "ducking" this other guy. If he beats up on the greener, hyped guy then he just beat up on a green "hype job" who wasn't ready to begin with. It is the same story with guys that are too good for their own good. You are damned if you do and damned if you don't. |

Five Questions, Five MinutesFor Tammuz 5764Theme: OUR QUESTIONS:1. What's your name? 2. Where do you go to school? 3. Do you think it's necessary to date only Jews? 4. Do you think it's necessary to marry a Jew? 5. How is dating Jews different form dating non-Jews? YOUR ANSWERS:1. Name withheld upon request 2. School not given.
3: Yes, because as time progresses with our lives, one never knows if the relationships we are in will carry on to the next step. 4: Yes, because when we start intermarrying, our traditions and other things like that are bound to be compromised and the Jewish people as a whole will start to decrease. 5: You can share everything and anything with a person who is Jewish. I have dated non-Jews before and it is very hard because they do not truly understand where you are coming from. 1. Name withheld upon request 2. School not given. 3: Yes, falling in love isn't instant... it happens over a period of time. 4: YES! 5: It's about being able to relate to each other on a cultural level. Judaism is such a big part of my life that a gentile person could not understand. 1. Justin 2. SUNY - Albany 3: No 4: Yes 5: As a male, it is different because the religion to raise the child in is determined by the mother, so I'd need a Jewish wife to raise my child Jewishly. 1. Jessica Danon 2. University of Judaism 3: I do feel that it is necessary to date only Jews simply because I want to marry a Jew. I also want to marry an educated person, so I wouldn't date a high school drop out either. I don't feel that it is wrong to date non-Jews if you don't plan on marrying a Jew or raising Jewish kids. It's all about a person's individual priorities. 4: In order to perpetuate the religion I believe it is necessary to marry a Jew which is what I plan. I want to raise observant Jewish children and it's nearly impossible to do that in a home in which one of the parents isn't Jewish. 5: Dating Jews is no different that dating non-Jews, unless you are a secular Jew dating a religious Jew or vice versa. There are more commonalities and more common idioms among Jews, that only another Jew would understand. One doesn't have to stop and explain every action, every word, and every object. I think it is just easier to date another Jew. Important Note though... When my parents married my father was a secular Jew and my mother a secular Protestant, now they are both shul going Jews. Not necessarily shomer shabbat and kashrut but they both go to shul and identify as Jewish. Growing up, I was not raised Jewish. I turned out a hardcore Conservative Jew, my brother a High Holiday Jew, and my sister will be somewhere in between us. Go Figure!!! 1. Jessica Friedman 2. Brandeis University 3: Yes. If you believe that marrying a Jew is important, then dating only Jews is also important. 4: Yes. While I think it is possible to have a working marriage between a Jew and a non-Jew, an important component of understanding and values that will be missing. I believe that raising Jewish children is important and this can most easily be accomplished when you are married to someone who has had the same Jewish experiences and environment as you while growing up. 5: When you date a Jew, he/she has insight into what kind of atmosphere you grew up in. A Jewish soul is different from any other soul and this difference is not easily explained. It is much easier to date someone who can understand and appreciate who you are as a Jew.

Less than two weeks.
That's how much summer remains for children in many school districts, including ours. The school tries to ease children back in with a three-day week before a three-day weekend. At the same time, many parents are easing children out of some of summer's freedoms: shifting bedtimes, making sure summer books are read, grasping at the disappearing straws of last year's routine.
And many of us are trying to "carpe aestatem": to seize the final days of summer (at least summer in the form of school break) and fit in the last expeditions, adventures and lazy days by the pool. Next year, these same children will seem different. Some won't want to ride the roller coaster with their uncool parents anymore. Some will finally be tall enough for the big water slides. It won't be this summer. It will be next summer. And as much as part of me is looking forward to "back to school," I hate the way that happens.
What's on that list for you this year? Read more…

Can Singapore engineer creativity?
September 13, 2011: 12:03 PM ETSingapore's government gets what it wants — from social policy to tourism. But its bid to enhance the nation's creative atmosphere may be a challenge more difficult any other.
By Katherine Ryder, contributor
FORTUNE -- Singapore's government has a way of getting what it wants. Fertility rates too low? The Social Development Unit organizes boat-trips to spin romance among the singles crowd. Not enough tourism? The Tourism Board spearheads the development of two casinos and undertakes construction of a massive new sports complex. Too many students studying abroad? The government sponsors Yale to open a campus in Singapore in 2013. Indeed, the Singapore government has been so successful in its social and economic engineering efforts that the World Economic Forum recently ranked the city-state second only to Switzerland in its annual global competitiveness survey.
Having mastered efficiency, Singapore's new pet project is creativity. The country has long had its eyes on Silicon Valley and over the last decade it has implemented plans to more or less recreate the California tech scene in Southeast Asia. At first, Singapore attempted to throw billions of dollars at venture capitalists and private equity firms. Then, seeing too little of that money trickling down to startups, it began funding them more directly. In its latest scheme, the government plans $50 million of direct investment in 100 companies over five years.
The effort appears to be paying off -- at least in fostering a fledging ecosystem. Every year, more risk-takers from the West pop up in Singapore with fresh ideas and the need for funding. If a foreign venture appears able to create economic value for the city-state, Singapore rolls out the red carpet and cuts the red tape.
The theory is that investment begets investment. Eduardo Saverin of Facebook, for instance, now lives and invests in Singapore. American venture capitalist Dave McClure invested in Viki, Singapore's most talked-out startup. So did Japanese-American Joi Ito, CEO of Creative Commons and the head of the MIT Media Lab, who also targets the Singapore market via his fund, Neoteny Labs. "If it weren't for the government's scheme," says Ito, "it would be harder for me to take risks." Part of the government's investment plan, for instance, partners with a local or foreign incubator and takes the bulk of the up-front risk in an 85-15 equity split, with a few stipulations like location and regional hiring.
Generous funding is important to fledgling companies. But ideas may matter even more. As Singapore's startup project matures, many wonder if such support will actually translate into truly original ideas. On this count, the city-state hasn't yet proven itself. No startup funded by the project has netted more than $30 million, according to Bernard Leong, co-founder of SG Entrepreneurs, a blog, and Chalkboard, a digital media startup. As a result, despite a few high-profile names, the talent and investor pools are still limited.
Is that simply because the initiative is still young? On the one hand, building a startup environment clearly takes time, and the fact that Singapore is known for its friendly attitude toward entrepreneurs -- particularly compared to its economic rivals in the region -- is evidence of its potential for success. Singapore is also full of business schools and expat professionals eager to prod its developers into action. Once another round of entrepreneurs starts reinvesting back in Singapore startups and mentoring up-and-comers then a community might flourish, says James Chan, a former coordinator of Singapore's government's early investment schemes who now works for Neoteny Labs. The backdrop of Asia's growth story, too, seems likely to continue to attract opportunists to the region.
On the other hand, several systemic obstacles could prevent the city-state from achieving its objective. Singapore's indigenous market is so small (the country has just 5 million inhabitants) that entrepreneurs must go global from day one. Singapore's is a society that is naturally risk averse, partly because of the government's top-down governing approach, partly because of the lack of a welfare state and partly because education is geared towards managerialism rather than entrepreneurialism. That has led both local and foreign entrepreneurs to worry that a truly innovative corps will have trouble developing there. Facebook, Google (GOOG) and Yahoo! (YHOO) continue to expand in Singapore for instance, but most of their hiring is focused on sales roles, not programmers.
Perhaps the most likely outcome is a niche investment role for "Silicon Island," even if the government continues funding tech entrepreneurs on a significant scale. That said, the beneficiaries of the effort, flush with seed money, aren't complaining. Many say their ultimate goal is to expand back to California; a few others want to catapult to Shanghai. It is unclear whether playing the role of a launch pad for foreigners is what the government had in mind with its investment scheme or a different image of the ideal Singapore startup. In any case, it will be interesting to see how it responds at the first signs of a brain drain.

Grade 8
The Rock Improv Task In this part of the project, we are interested in finding out what students like you have learned about improvising music. To improvise music means to make something up as one goes along. Improvising is one way that musicians discover melodies, which they can repeat or put together in order to create music. What I will ask you to do today is to listen to some music that was improvised, and then do some creating yourself. We'll start by using the MIDI keyboard. You shouldn't worry if you don't know how to play the piano--what we are interested in is to hear what kinds of melodies and patterns you can create. You can use just one finger to play your patterns if that is easiest for you. We are going to use only the black notes on the keyboard today. SET TIMER FOR 30 SECONDS. Why don't you take about 30 seconds to play a few notes on the keyboard in order to see how it sounds? START TIMER. AFTER 30 SECONDS: OK, let's go on. Before you begin to improvise, let's listen to the music on the tape. It is introduced with two measures of drums, followed by four measures of chords. Then you will hear a chord progression that is repeated. As you listen, pay special attention to the chord changes and the style of the music, and think about what kinds of melodies will sound good with the music. First Rock Improvisation Sample (QuickTime audio, 0:32, 1,404K). You may also download this audio clip as a compressed file as either a ZIP file (for PC's) (1,165K) or as a SIT file (for Mac's) (1,405K) to extract and play later. See player instructions. START BOOMBOX. STOP BOOMBOX AFTER MUSIC PLAYS ONE TIME. Here is an example of a saxophone player who is performing an improvisation to this music. This is just one example of how one person improvised. Your improvisation can be different in any way that you would like. Second Rock Improvisation Sample (QuickTime audio, 0:42, 1,588K). You may also download this audio clip as a compressed file as either a ZIP file (for PC's) (1,596K) or as a SIT file (for Mac's) (1,871K) to extract and play later. See player instructions. START BOOMBOX. STOP BOOMBOX AFTER MUSIC PLAYS ONE TIME. Now it's your turn to improvise! We are not worried about how well you can play the piano; we are interested in hearing what kinds of interesting patterns you can come up with, so just be creative and have fun! Your goals for the improvisation are to create music that sounds interesting and appealing, and to find a melody that you like and can play back for me. The melody that you create should be something that you think people would enjoy hearing. You may play any rhythms or combinations of patterns that match the style of the music. Remember to use just the black keys on the keyboard. The music will play for about 90 seconds, during which a chord progression will be repeated several times. This gives you a chance to try many different things and to create something you like. You will probably notice that some patterns you play will sound better to you than others. Go with what sounds best to you and what fits the music on the background tape. Try to experiment with the ideas you like and remember the things you liked best. Keep your melody short enough so that you can remember it and play it back for me. At the end of your improvisation time I will ask you to play the melody without the background music on the tape. Are you ready? You may start when the music begins. START BOOMBOX. PLAY MUSIC ONE TIME. [Student performs improvisation.] STOP BOOMBOX. SET TIMER FOR 30 SECONDS. Now that you've had a chance to improvise, I would like you to play the final melody from your improvisation. I'll give you 30 seconds to practice your melody and then I'll ask you to play it for me two times without the music on the tape. Practice your melody one final time. START TIMER. AFTER 30 SECONDS: Let's go on. Play your melody for me the first time, and then tell me when you are finished. [Student plays melody for first time.] OK, now play your melody for the last time. Make sure to play it just as you did before. [Student plays melody for second time.] Thank you very much! |
Notes: Scorers should consider the length of the student's improvisation when scoring for interest/appeal. Students who play very short improvisations that fail to show any variety or development should be penalized accordingly.

Indira Gandhi
From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Gandhi, Indira)
Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi (November 19, 1917 – October 31, 1984), daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru, became the first woman Prime Minister of India in 1966. She died while Prime Minister, assassinated by her security guards at her residence.
- We admired Dr. King. We felt his loss as our own. The tragedy rekindled memories of the great martyrs of all time who gave their lives so that men might live and grow. We thought of the great men in your own country who fell to the assassin's bullet and of Mahatma Gandhi's martyrdom here in this city, this very month, twenty-one years ago. Such events remain as wounds in the human consciousness, reminding us of battles, yet to be fought and tasks still to be accomplished. We should not mourn for men of high ideals. Rather we should rejoice that we had the privilege of having had them with us, to inspire us by their radiant personalities.

Web service
A Web service is a method of communications between two electronic devices over the World Wide Web. It is a software function provided at a network address over the web with the service always on as in the concept of utility computing.
The W3C defines a Web service as:
a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network. It has an interface described in a machine-processable format (specifically WSDL). Other systems interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP messages, typically conveyed using HTTP with an XML serialization in conjunction with other Web-related standards.[1]
The W3C also states:
We can identify two major classes of Web services:
- REST-compliant Web services, in which the primary purpose of the service is to manipulate XML representations of Web resources using a uniform set of stateless operations; and
- Arbitrary Web services, in which the service may expose an arbitrary set of operations.[2]
Web API[edit]
A web API is a development in web services where emphasis has been moving to simpler representational state transfer (REST) based communications.[3] RESTful APIs do not require XML-based web service protocols (SOAP and WSDL) to support their interfaces.
Automated design methods[edit]
Automated tools can aid in the creation of a web service. For services using WSDL, it is possible to either automatically generate WSDL for existing classes (a bottom-up model) or to generate a class skeleton given existing WSDL (a top-down model).
- A developer using a bottom-up model writes implementing classes first (in some programming language), and then uses a WSDL generating tool to expose methods from these classes as a web service. This is simpler to develop but may be harder to maintain if the original classes are subject to frequent change.[4]
- A developer using a top-down model writes the WSDL document first and then uses a code generating tool to produce the class skeleton, to be completed as necessary. This model is generally considered more difficult but can produce cleaner designs and is generally more resistant to change. As long as the message formats between sender and receiver do not change, changes in the sender and receiver themselves do not affect the web service. The technique is also referred to as contract first since the WSDL (or contract between sender and receiver) is the starting point.[5]
Web services that use markup languages[edit]
There are a number of web services that use markup languages:
- Web template
- Web Services Description Language (WSDL) from the W3C
- XML Interface for Network Services (XINS) provides a POX-style Web service specification format
- Web Services Conversation Language (WSCL)
- Web Services Flow Language (WSFL) (superseded by BPEL)
- WS-MetadataExchange
- Representational state transfer (REST) versus remote procedure call (RPC)
- XML-RPC - XML - Remote Procedure Call
Critics of non-RESTful web services often complain that they are too complex[6] and based upon large software vendors or integrators, rather than typical open source implementations.
There are also concerns about performance due to web services' use of XML as a message format and SOAP/HTTP in enveloping and transporting.[7]
Regression Testing of Web service[edit]
Functional and non-functional web service testing is done with the help of WSDL parsing and regression testing is performed by identifying the changes made thereafter. Web service regression testing needs can be categorized in three different ways, namely, changes in WSDL, changes in code, and selective re-testing of web service operations. To capture above three changes three intermediate forms of WSDL, namely, Difference WSDL (DWSDL), Unit WSDL (UWSDL), and Reduced WSDL (RWSDL), respectively can be used. These intermediate forms of WSDLs are then combined to form Combined WSDL (CWSDL) which is further used for regression testing of the web service. This will help in Automatic Web Service Change Management (AWSCM), by performing the selection of the relevant test cases to construct a reduced test suite from the old test suite. [8]

The origin of the phrase "rule of thumb" is debatable; some say it was once a man's right to beat his wife with a stick no wider in diameter than his thumb. Sadly, in some countries today women have to deal with even worse treatment.
What we mean by a microwave rule-of-thumb could be an inexact but notable relationship of one or more design parameters with performance, or it could just be an easy way to remember something that other lesser people often mix up. Obviously, you must use some discretion when you apply these rules, exact results can vary widely depending on influences you haven't considered, such as the phase of the moon.
Microwave rules of thumb have been handed down to new-hires by microwave old farts for the last century. We know there are a lot of OFs out there, so please send in your favorite rule of thumb and win a pocket knife (what OF could resist an offer like that?) We will acknowledge your contribution here (unless you prefer to remain anonymous). Attention, humor-disabled readers... any tired references to Murphy's law will never make it to this page, so please don't feel the need to share any of this boring crap with us!
We will keep compiling microwave rules of thumb on this page, in no particular order, and we don't guarantee that we will reorder the rules in the future. These rules are scattered about the web site in appropriate places as well. We try to cross reference this section with other parts of the Microwaves101 encyclopedia so you can learn more about any subject that you are interested in.

Definition of 'Productize'
To take a new service, product or product feature - that a company has provided to a single customer or a few customers on a custom basis - and turn it into a standard, fully tested, packaged, supported and marketed product. For example, a person can productize their expertise by putting it into a tangible object by creating a product based on that knowledge.
Investopedia explains 'Productize'
An idea, a process, a prototype or an area of expertise can be productized into marketable and salable products. For example, a marketer can write a "how-to" book for new entrepreneurs that would teach them how to market their business, or a web designer can create a DVD series on how to design web sites.

After four years Cahokia coach Darian Nash knows exactly what buttons to push in order to get the most out of Keenan Minor.
Nash also knows which ones not to push.
And so when Minor was held scoreless in the first half of the Comanches' Class 3A Springfield Super-Sectional against Chatham-Glenwood on Tuesday, Nash knew what to do.
Nash stoked the engine.
"Keenan is a quiet kid and he doesn't like it when you get on him,'' Nash said. "All I said to him was that it's time to start the engine. You're a senior and this is it.''
In the second half, the Chatham-Glenwood Titans were run over by the Comanches. Minor roared to life with 22 points -- including the go-ahead 3-point basket with 5:01 remaining -- as Cahokia earned its first trip to the state tournament in 28 years with a 56-48 victory.
For Minor -- who three years earlier on the same Prairie Convention Center floor tallied 24 of his 26 points in the second half in a Comanches super-sectional loss to Champaign Centennial -- the win was sweet.
"My freshman year we were in the same situation and we came up a little short. We were determined not to let it happen again,''Minor said. "To be the second team in school history to get to state makes all the hard work we put in worth it.
"None of us have ever gotten to this point before and so we're all really looking forward to this experience.''
Minor will lead Cahokia (32-3) into a Class 3A state tournament semifinal at 2 p.m. on Friday against Chicago Orr (23-2) at Carver Arena in Peoria.
For Minor, who leads the Comanches in scoring (21.7 points per game), the 2012-13 season has been one in which he's become a total player.
Somewhat shy and soft-spoken off the court, Minor has developed better ball-handling and passing skills. But what makes the 6-foot, 2-inch Minor special is his unlimited shooting range.
Minor has 98 3-point baskets for the season and leads the St. Louis-area in 3-point field goals per game (3.63). Minor has made 98 of his 149 3-point attempts (65.6 percent).
Minor hit nine 3-pointers and scored 30 points in Cahokia's 81-71 win over Althoff late in the regular season.
One person who appreciates Minor's unlimited range is former Cahokia coach Ken McBride. The Comanches head coach from 1977-90, McBride led the team to a fourth-place finish in the 1985 Class AA state tournament. McBride is a volunteer assistant this season
McBride calls Minor the best pure shooter he's ever seen.
"I get asked that question all the time by friends. But Keenan is the best high school pure-shooter I've ever seen. And I've been around for a long time,'' McBride said. "Now there are times when he disappears, but his range is just amazing. We're talking 26-28 feet range.''
Minor also is unselfish to a fault and has taken over the role as the Comanches' leader
"I think I've become more of a leader this year. I'm demanding more things rather than just standing back and waiting for things to happen. I'm trying to take control of the situation more than I have in the past,'' Minor said. "I also think I'm a smarter player.
"It's always been the little things which have held me back in the past. I've spent a lot of time on my ball-handling skills. I'm not forcing things as much.''
Nash appreciates Minor's team-oriented approach, but would like to see Minor take over a game a little earlier.
"Like from the opening tip,'' Nash said, smiling. "The other night against Chatham-Glenwood, it looked like Keenan was deferring his teammates in the first half.
"It's great to be unselfish, but he's a big part of our offense and we need him to score.''
Minor played basketball all summer with the Southwestern Illinois Jets AAU team, where one of his teammates was Belleville East senior and Illinois recruit Malcolm Hill.
"He's a great player and a very good person,' Minor said of Hill. "It was a lot of fun traveling and playing basketball all summer. But it made me realize that I have a lot of work to do if I'm going to achieve my goals.''
Minor's goal of playing college basketball is well within reach. Still waiting for his ACT scores, Minor just wants to play somewhere next year.
"Junior college, Division I, Division II, it really doesn't matter,'' Minor said. "I just want to find a school whose system is one where I fit in and will get a chance to play.
"It also has to be one where I'll be happy and be able to get a great education.''
A good weekend in Peoria should help Minors' college chances. But Minor has other priorities this weekend.
"Like I said, being the second team in school history to reach the state tournament is a great accomplishment and we're looking forward to the experience. But we're not done yet. We're going up looking to win the state title,'' Minor said. "They (Chicago Orr) I know have a couple of big guys up front, but we've got guys inside like Darius (Austin) and Vincent (Jackson) who are great athletes and play bigger than their size.
"We haven't played our best game yet. We can play better. Hopefully this weekend, we will.''

I live in Santa Cruz, California, and it is a very nice, small college town. It's pretty accessible and the city does offer many services to seniors. Fortunately, one does not have to drive on highways to get around (I hate driving). http://www.santacruzca.org/ We have both the ocean and the mountains, which is really nice. There are lots of meet-up groups and other activities going on all the time. Being next to the beach, we are a tourist town, too, so that means there are plenty of things to do. I think the trick is that people have to be proactive in joining groups, and finding people with whom they have things in common. I have noticed that people get upset or worried that they are alone, yet, there are many things to do. I guess it's just making oneself get up and get going. I have never been to Columbus, IN, although I've been through Indiana -- it's just not for me. And Las Vegas....that is pretty much the strip area where things are going on, and transportation, I thought, was awful. It's great if you have a car and love to drive, but public transportation is dismal. Plus, most of what is there for "entertainment" is mostly the casinos or shows. Outside of the strip, there's not a whole lot going on. Although they advertise a "zoo" -- believe me, it is NOT a zoo. One monkey, and a little walk-through with snakes, and some chickens they give you corn to feed, is not a zoo! It definitely is not a cultural mecca. I loved Boulder, Colorado, where I lived, and it is a really wonderful setup for a town. I live in Santa Cruz, California, now, and as a tourist town and college town on the ocean, with mountains quickly nearby, there is a lot to do. Again, one has to make themselves get involved in activities. At least here, things are close by, and near each other, and the downtown is very walkable. Sometimes I complain and think about moving, then I slap myself in the face and shout "What are you doing??" I have to remember that this town is remarkably different and unique, and sometimes even a diamond may not seem a shiny as it really is. It's all how you look at it -- in my humble opinion.... |

KINGSTON ŌĆō The University of Rhode Island is calling to arm campus police after an April 4 report of an individual with a gun locked down the Kingston campus, according to a preliminary report on the incident. The report, released Friday, identifies a series of improvements that ŌĆ£would enhance the readiness of the institution and its response to such incidents should they occur in the future.ŌĆØ
PROVIDENCEŌĆöDaniel E. Doyle, Jr., the former executive director of the Institute for International Sport (IIS), has been indicted on 18 counts of embezzlement, obtaining money under false pretenses, and forgery. Doyle has been the subject of much public scrutiny since his mishandling of $575,000 worth in state grant money, which was allocated in 2007 for new construction on the instituteŌĆÖs property and remains unfinished.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō Police are investigating an accident involving a sport utility vehicle and a RIPTA bus that occurred late Sunday morning and left a 17-year-old female with serious injuries.
NARRAGANSETT ŌĆō Robert M. Taylor, who is accused of murdering his mother, Allison M. Taylor, entered no plea to a charge of domestic murder today at the 4th District Court in Wakefield.
COVENTRY ŌĆö Coventry Head Coach Stephen McKanna cheered on his Unified Basketball team as they played their last game of the season Wednesday afternoon against Warwick Vets.
