Need a nightcap of sorts for your Christmas Day NBA action? Kevin Durant and the Thunder will try to provide it against Carmelo Anthony's Nuggets. Of course, Carmelo won't be there.
Anthony will miss his second straight game following the death of his sister in Baltimore on Tuesday. Anthony previously missed a 109-103 loss to the Spurs on Wednesday.
The Nuggets would have had a tall task before them in Oklahoma City with Carmelo — they're just 4-9 on the road, and the Thunder tend to play well before their raucous home crowd — but without Anthony, Denver might only be able to keep this one respectable. He's been great against the Thunder franchise since it was in Seattle, scoring 29.6 points per game, and that sort of production is nearly impossible to replace.
Look for Kevin Durant to have a big game. He's topped 24 points in each of his last five games, and is shooting over 50% from the field during that span.

On tap in a pint glass at the Smokehouse on 7-13-2012
Deep copper brown color; quite pretty. 1/4th inch head drops to a touch more than a skim. Seems to hold pretty well. Stringy lace - not too bad.
Decent enough hoppy aroma - pine and floral tones with some earthy citrus to draw it together. Toasty baked bread and hints of caramel. The hoppiness carries to the palate. It has the same "wet" feel and flavor I get from Centennial. Dank, prickly pine with pepperings of dry, zesty citric hops. Flavorful for the first half; the finish picks up a brash, lingering bitterness, though not quite medicinal. The malt bill interests me more; seems to have something spicy in here, like rye or cola nut. Chocolate? Dry bread and terse caramel. Medium feel made sticky with hop resin. Bitterness subsides and the finish becomes spicier.
This really isn't too bad. I probably won't drink much of it, as the beer is kind of uptight.

4.13/5 rDev +10.1%
Aroma: Heavy burnt caramel notes up front. Moderate fruity esters noted as the beer warms. Light floral hop notes in the background. Moderate pine resins as the beer is agitated.
Appearance: Deep rich ruby red pour with an off-white batter-like head. Head retention is good.
Flavor: More caramel notes up front quickly followed by firm woody and earthy hop flavors. A definite interplay between the caramel maltiness and some of the punchy resin-like hop flavors. Neither dominates and while this seems to be highly hopped it is wonderfully balanced. Finish is clean and dry with a long bitter finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with medium-high carbonation and slightly oily. There is a bit of creaminess to it as well but it doesn't appear to be too full but just provides enough character to keep your attention.
Overall impression: What a nice beer! Definitely more to it than just an American Amber. Has some characteristics of an American Barleywine but not big enough for that either. Imperial Red Ale as identified by the brewer seems appropriate. Whatever you call it, I'll have another pint. Nice job Angelo!

On-tap at Barley's Smokehouse and Brewpub, Columbus, OH
A: The beer is crystal clear dark reddish amber in color. It poured with a thin beige head that left some bubbles on the surface and a thick collar around the edge of the glass.
S: There are aromas of caramel malts and citrusy hops in the nose.
T: Like the smell, the taste is very malty and has flavors of caramel along with notes of citrusy hops. There is a light to moderate amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium- to full-bodied, a bit creamy and very smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This is a very interesting red ale—it's like a double or imperial red ale that has lots of malts and hops. It's not a beer that you can down quickly, but is instead one that is nice to sip.

Red Molly Imp pours a darker copper color. It's mostly clear and has some really nice scarlet highlights with a little light behind it. It's a sharp looking color. It's topped with a lighter tan head. It's rather modest and rises to about half a finger tall before disappearing quickly. Lacing was light and very spotty. Good looking stuff.
The nose is pretty good. It seems a little weak and understated. A little more strength would be the remedy. It is very malty up front. Smells like sweet caramel and light cocoa. It's followed by a nice hoppy scent that's a mix of citrus and floral notes. Primarily, grapefruit and orange scents are noted. There are light piney and floral notes that follow and make it interesting. Smells a little sugary on the tail. Alcohol is there, but is masked pretty well.
The flavor is a notch better than the nose and warrants a score bump. The malt base is sweet and very flavorful. Strong caramel and cocoa flavors are noted. The caramel is definitely the stronger of the two. It's a really solid anchor. Hops follow and ramp the flavor up a bit. Citrus grapefruit and orange lead the charge. There are some ancillary pine and floral notes that follow. There's a hint of bitterness, but it's mostly countered by the malt. Alcohol is there, but isn't strong or warm at all. Finishes sweet and malty with a hoppy boost.
Red Molly Imp has a medium body. Carbonation is light and soft. It's certainly smooth and easy drinking. I won't finish the growler tonight, but damage will be done. Yes, it will.
Red Molly Imp is a really nice effort from Barley's. It's very consistent with the style, and more importantly, it's damn tasty! I wouldn't mind a tad bit more in the hop department, but that's just my preference. It's an impressive beer nonetheless. Try it!

What Makes a School Resilient?
Submitted by Nadine Fiedler on Mon, 03/19/2012 - 3:24pm

Catlin Gabel sees change as opportunity
From the Winter 2011-12 Caller
By Lark P. Palma, Head of School
Resiliency is an important character trait that we nurture in our students at Catlin Gabel from their earliest years. During their time in school—both in class and in their home lives—students will encounter difficult situations and what may appear to be insurmountable obstacles. Our charge is to support them as they navigate the shoals, fostering in them the ability to get through these situations with positivity, to think creatively about how to approach and solve them, and in the end to learn from these challenges, building the skills to get back on their feet, smarter and stronger. When the next hard situation presents itself, our students will have built confidence in their ability to do what needs to be done and bounce back.
The same dynamic applies to institutions. Catlin Gabel serves as an example of a resilient school, one that has come through hard times to emerge healthier and hardier. Catlin Gabel itself grew out of crisis. Both the Catlin and Gabel schools were undergoing hard times that threatened their continued existence. The visionaries who saw the wisdom in merging the two schools created a positive solution that—although it seemed risky at the time—forged a school that benefited from the philosophies, practices, people, and long, noble histories of both the Catlin and Gabel schools. Our school today as we know it turned out healthier from this union than its founders might have imagined.
Catlin Gabel has also weathered recent crises, a case in point being the economic downturn that began in 2008. The hard times hit our families, resulting in a 38% increase in new requests for financial aid for the 2008–09 school year. That could have been a devastating moment for Catlin Gabel. Instead, we all took a deep collective breath and thought hard about how to weather this situation well. I took some tough and necessary steps to intensify our fiscal prudence, including mandatory budget cuts. I suspended our capital fundraising campaign, taking stock of how financial conditions had changed for our families and allowing our endowment the time it needed to rebound. Retaining our students and keeping our community intact was my biggest goal through this crisis.
And we did prevail. Today Catlin Gabel is stronger than it's ever been. I believe that that recovery is due in part to the character of this school. As a school that's always seen itself as a laboratory for new concepts, we are wired to see change as an opportunity, not as an obstacle. We are predisposed to changing with intention, always analyzing how we can learn and grow from the inevitable challenges of being a school that must move with the times, a school made of people who are affected by the winds that move the world.
You'll read in this Caller about how our students, counselors, teachers, alumni, and families build resiliency in and out of the classroom. These stories speak to how we stay strong as an institution, and how, along with our families, we help create the conditions that are necessary for our students' education, growth, and well-being.

Auction Fever
Auction house and appraisers since 1962, Doyle New York (once an antiques gallery) is a great resource for vintage high fashion in these recessionary times. Yes, you heard me—there are deals to be had here. If you are lucky enough to follow its auction calendar, you might come across incredible couture like Chanel dresses from 1930 or a floor-length mint-green ostrich Balenciaga opera coat, once owned by a chic Parisian Marquesa. Prices for original French couture clothes from bygone eras start at bargain-basement and go up (up meaning $42,000 for an ombré blue silk fringe Chanel dress and boa from 1926, sold to an important collection.) The house also auctions objects for the home. The summer Doyle at Home sales are one of the best ways to stock up on very good quality furniture and decoration, paintings, and carpets for a song. You can bid via telephone or online. At a sale in June, I found Baccarat hurricane lamps for $250 each; and two giant Empire-style mahogany mirrors that cost $550. Notice I said Empire-style. Original Empire would run into the thousands of dollars. "Our focus is to bring big estate properties to the client," said senior vice president Louis Webre, who, like yours truly, remembers the estate sale of Bette Davis in April 1990 (my first experience with Doyle). There in the corner of the galleries was the detritus of the screen legend's life, assembled from her last apartment in Los Angeles. Webre and I recalled the matched set of well-worn American Tourister luggage— four bags with with the monogram BD—that came in a lot with assorted garment bags; the whole lot was sold for $850. What really stood out were eleven small Patrick Kelly dresses. When Davis had grown thin from a long battle with cancer, the African-American designer, who shook up Paris ready-to-wear in the eighties with his giant-scale buttons on jersey dresses, dressed her for appearances on late-night television. "Those were teeny-weeny dresses, size 0," Webre remembered as he looked up the fashion inventory from that sale, which included Ungaro, Valentino, YSL, and, of course, Hollywood designer Nolan Miller. A box of her soft eyelashes fetched $2,000, but the highest price of $21,000 went to a drawing, signed by costume designer Edith Head, depicting Bette Davis in the fur-trimmed satin dress she wore when she uttered her famous "Fasten your seatbelts" line in All About Eve. Celebrity auctions are the big draw here. Rex Harrison had dozens of cashmere sweaters with suede elbow patches. Rock Hudson's Steinway baby grand was sold in August 1987. At Carrie Donovan's sale of May 2002, yours truly bought two pairs of her giant TV-frame tortoiseshell eyeglasses (just for the memory!), which are now headed to the new Savannah College of Art and Design costume collection. No, I didn't acquire them to recycle them for my own use. It was the one thing I bid on. (I usually do all my bidding via telephone with Jill Bowers, head of bidding services.) Joe Eula's sale in November 2006 was a blockbuster for his beautiful illustrations, many of which he kept hanging in his homes until his death. His famous sketch of Chanel in her uniform suit and hat, in profile, went for $2,500, while a great one of Loulou de la Falaise went for almost nothing. And his great pencil drawing of Jackie Onassis being fitted by Halston in a long cashmere sweater ensemble to the floor got a big price, and I recently saw it in Ralph Rucci's private office, housed on a windowsill, framed by heliotrope satin drapes. First-rate modern photographs byfs Herb Ritts, Helmut Newton, and Robert Mapplethorpe come up for auction in the semi-annual photography sale sale every spring and fall. Doyle at Home auction: July 15 Annual end of summer furniture/decor sale: August 19 The estate of Beverly Sills from her Beresford apartment, including opera-memorabilia auction: October 7
Doyle New York, 175 East 87th Street; tel: (212) 427-2730; fax: (212) 369-0892

Daily Dose - Researchers Slam Android Over Apps that Leak GPS data
Microsoft an Unlikely Champion Against Patent Trolls
A new day is dawning when Microsoft has the support of Apache, Google, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation in a patent case, but this time Microsoft is on the receiving end with i4i's claim over XML features used in Word. Even Wal-Mart came out in support of Microsoft saying that the patent system is destructive to business and innovation. A ton of other major companies submitted briefs asking the US Supreme Court to hear the case, which i4i won in the Federal Circuit Court. All of them are echoing the same point - that the US patent system isn't fair to defendants.
Google's Next Idea to Make the Web Faster
It's a pretty simple idea: Google wants to encourage an alternative to the popular JPEG image format. The search gurus unveiled a new image format based on WebM technology called WebP. Their research shows that it uses 40% less bandwidth than a JPEG image, and since images make up about 65% of the bytes transmitted in the average web page, widespread usage could result in a dramatic speed improvement on the web.
Gnew GNOME
The next version of GNOME, 2.32, is here this week with a bunch of bugfixes and a few new features. While most of the developers have moved to GNOME 3 development, this 2.x version got a nice cleanup and improvements to Empathy instant messaging. The document viewer, Evince, also got improvements and can now speak SyncTeX.

I welcome security researchers, in all cases. But I'd really like to read some comparative survey (*) - when one focuses on a single system e.g. on Android, it's easy for people to misinterpret (or to spread FUD) that the specific system is worse than others. My opinion is that all systems are more or less subject to the same (in)security levels, also because the user is always the weaker ring of the chain. For instance, the referred chinese malware is a wallpaper that reads your personal info: I mean, it's up to the user to understand that a wallpaper doesn't need GPS, connectivity and personal information access, so he shouldn't install it. It's a tough problem that has more to do with education than technology.
(*) I didn't read the whole PDF paper, but I searched for iPhone and iOS and only found a single reference in the bibliography. So I think I can safely assume it's not a comparative survey.

The making of the president's honey ale.
The president's beer recipe is going around, so we decided to try it.
Steeping whole-grain biscuit and amber malt in a mesh bag to add color.
Straining the sack of grain.
Warming the malt extract.
Javier Torre adds dried malt extract.
Hops, a flavoring and bittering agent, is added to the boiling pot.
Pouring in the honey.
After chilling the mixture, now called the "wort," the mixture is transferred to the fermenter (a big glass jug) and then the yeast is added.
It's time to taste an earlier-made batch of the president's honey ale. While a little dry, the beer has a satisfying flavor.

This is a quality thin-face climb located on The Footstool. The Bluffer is a stimulating lead with multiple cruxes. Well protected near the ground, the bolt spacing becomes more exciting up higher. Not runout or unsafe, but not a sport climb. For the chicken-hearted (like myself), it can be top-roped after leading an easy 5th class traverse (pro: small cams) to the anchors.
The Footstool is located at the base of the Southeast Face, about 100 yards to the right of the Alcove. From the Nose, it's a 15-20 minute walk mostly uphill. Just keep following the base and you can't miss it. There are a handful of difficult, bolted routes on the outer face of The Footstool. The Bluffer is the furthest right of these.

In his UFC 164 "Submission of The Night" performance last night (Sat., Aug. 31, 2013), Anthony Pettis showed that he could very well repeat history in Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) by capturing his second world title.
Check out our full UFC 164 results and play-by-play coverage right here.
"Showtime" defeated Ben Henderson for the second time, winning the rematch with a first round arm bar submission (watch full video highlights here) from their first bout at World Extreme Cagefighting's last event, WEC 53, in late 2010. Not only did "Showtime" submit "Smooth," he took the title away from him for a second time.
The newly-crowned champion did not leave unscathed, as according to Dana White at the press conference, Pettis' next move is uncertain because he popped his knee in the fight last night. It's the same knee that was giving him problems and forced him to withdraw from the "super" fight with Jose Aldo.
It does not mean we cannot glance at the options that will greet Pettis once he returns.
T.J. Grant was supposed to be in Pettis' pay-per-view (PPV) place last night at BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisc., had he not been injured and able to face Henderson. While some conspiracy theorists believe Grant was paid off by the brass to have Pettis rematch Henderson in his hometown, this assumption carries not 1 percent of proof and is more of a conspiracy that judges the UFC as its own sort of illuminati.
Grant's striking is very powerful, as we saw with his consecutive knockouts over Gray Maynard and Matt Wiman, and that could give Pettis some problems. What could give him major problems, though, is Grant's wrestling, as well as his ability to over-muscle and grind out opponents, complete with a Brazilian jiu-jitsu brown belt. Pettis' takedown defense looked good against Henderson, but one must not forget his Octagon debut, when Clay Guida frustrated him over the course of three rounds.
Say what you will about Grant's title shot and how he may not be the most popular or exciting fighter in the division, he is still a legitimate threat (read more on that here). He has never been stopped by strikes and if someone is crowned as a new champion in a specific division, he should look forward to defending that title in his division for the time being.
"Super" fights and larger than life match ups can wait.
That is the problem with the Jose Aldo matchup that Pettis -- and half of the MMA universe -- want to see.
This fight should have happened had Pettis not suffered a knee injury and despite the callout from the champion last night, "Scarface" should be concerned with the challengers at Featherweight right now, since that division is blossoming with guys like Ricardo Lamas (who desperately needs to be noticed as the next guy in line), Chad Mendes, Cub Swanson and even Frankie Edgar.
A cross-divisional title fight would be mouthwatering to say the least, but Pettis should be concentrated on the tasks at Lightweight first. So should Aldo, but Pettis has not accomplished nearly half of the accolades Aldo has in his proper division. It sucks, because we would like to finally see a "super" fight, but if the integrity of the sport depends on it, we cannot have "fun" matches just for the hell of it when contenders keep on arising.
There is a possible Henderson rematch in the near future, but for now, that makes absolutely no sense. "Bendo" has now lost to Pettis twice, and he was submitted last night, proving that he needs to work his way up as long as "Showtime" is the champion.
Would it be another great fight? Absolutely. Does it make any sense right now? Not really.
Although everyone is sick of rematches in the 155-pound division, the last man who gave Henderson a run for his money has never faced Pettis, and that is Gilbert Melendez.
With a win over Diego Sanchez at UFC 166 (even more so a stoppage victory), he should not be too far away at another crack at the title. The former Strikeforce Lightweight champion did enough to steal the split decision from Henderson in the eyes of many at UFC on Fox 7, but came up short. This would be a great fight to watch and as noted earlier, if Melendez can stop Sanchez, another title shot should come knocking.
Whenever the time comes for Pettis to take his next fight being 100 percent healthy, the options have presented themselves. It is just that the least exciting, but most deserving option seems like the right one.

Another location to find current events in Shambhala International is at The Shambhala Times.
Jun 20, 2012
The Kalapa Council will be holding a series of major conference calls with leaders of the mandala to present the plans it is putting into effect following the strategic planning discussion it opened up with the community following Shambhala Day.
The plans cover a three-fold strategy for the coming period. They involve plans for moving forward with key elements of the Sakyong's 2020 Vision; making changes within Shambhala to develop our culture and make the whole mandala more economically sustainable; and reducing or changing some of our central services in order to reduce costs.
Following the conference calls, the plans will be shared with the whole community on the Kalapa Council Blog, where many people have participated with comments, suggestions and questions -- and possibly through Shambhala Online.
Each of the leadership groups in the Three Pillars will be contacted this week with details and times for the calls.

A new Florida law has some Canadians and international drivers less than thrilled with the Sunshine State.
On Jan. 1, a law went into effect requiring all international drivers visiting Florida to get an international drivers permit so law enforcement here can translate the license.
In Canada, it will cost $25.
A Thursday web post from the Toronto Sun read: "Canada supplies more tourists to Florida than any other foreign country, and this is the thanks we get."
On Thursday afternoon, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles released a statement saying law enforcement wouldn't enforce the new law, because it "may violate the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic."
"It didn't rattle me really," Canadian Jackie Jonescu said.
Jonescu already had taken action by the time that statement was released.
Since 2000, the Kitchener, Ontario, native has spent a few months a year in St. Petersburg avoiding the cold Canadian winter.
She received an e-mail from a friend warning her of the new law.
"They told me that I can be fined if I was in an accident or if I had any kind of violation," said Jonescu.
International visitors cannot get the permit if they are already here in the U.S.
"If you're from Canada, you have to get the international driver's license in Canada," said Mark Lee of AAA.
Jonescu called the Canadian Automobile Association to get an application.
She said she doesn't really mind getting the permit, but she also agrees with the author of the Toronto Sun story.
"I've probably spent close to $100,000 in the last three months that I've been here to get established, and I would think that's a valuable contribution to this economy," Jonescu said.
"Yeah, I was a little bit ticked, but not enough to be annoyed with any, you know, I'm happy to be here," she said.
Even if being here might require a $25 permit to drive around.

The Center for Creativity
The Center for Creativity is a collaborative effort between The Allegheny Intermediate Unit and Intermediate Unit 1 (serving Washington, Greene and Fayette Counties). The initiative, generously funded by The Benedum Foundation grew out of the Intermediate Units' involvement in the burgeoning movement in the Pittsburgh region around Kids and Creativity where area organizations involved in both formal and informal education (like The Idea Foundry, CMU's Robotics Institute, Allegheny County Libraries and The Pittsburgh Technology Council) are joining forces in collaborative projects and the promotion of the Pittsburgh region as the best area in which to raise children.
The Center works to connect the region's diverse and creative resources with educators, administrators as they infuse arts and technology in creative and inventive ways into curriculum and will be the region's go-to creativity-hub for preK-12 educators.

text: OCEAN CITY, Md. - Travel Channel's "Hotel Impossible" breathes new life into old hotels across the country, and this week, the show has hit the Ocean City boardwalk...working on the 89 year old Lankford Hotel.Built in 1924, the Lankford Hotel is an old school operation, run by the same family that built it. Vernon Karst, head of maintenance and husband of one of the owner's daughters, says he did have some worries about strangers ripping up the family business."It's a little disconcerting at times," says Karst, "but all in all, I think it's becoming a positive thing."The hotel owners thought the Lankford could use a modern update, but still maintain the historic feel...they just weren't sure how to do it themselves. That's where the Hotel Impossible crew comes in. The show's resident interior designer, Blanche Garcia, says they definitely want to stay true to the Ocean City charm.Garcia told WMDT, "well, we work with Joseph Dashiell builders, which they are local, so they're a great source."Hotel Impossible is also using material from local shops, and even sampling some local eats, which WMDT's Jarred Hill thought would be his ticket into this impossibly secret renovation.Jarred: So, I know that you can't tell me a lot, but is there any way I can bribe you with anything to get any sort of information?Blanche: I do love cheese...I don't think I can let you in because I may lose my job.Jarred: What about a crab cake? we are in Maryland...Blanche: Crab cakes, I'm a little more open to that...we'll talk about it later.Jarred: I'll see what I can do."Alas, no luck. We'll just have to wait until the new season to see the final result.Hotel Impossible wraps up taping in Ocean City with a final reveal Thursday, and the new season starts in August, but the episode featuring Ocean City and the Lankford Hotel likely won't air until later in the fall.

7th Making Cities Liveable Conference 2014
Healthy – Sustainable – Resilient – Cities
The 7th Making Cities Liveable Conference was held at Mantra on Salt Beach, Kingscliff on the NSW and QLD border from the 9th – 11th July 2014.
The Conference themed "Healthy – Sustainable – Resilient – Cities" was a great success with the program including 9 keynote presenters, 60 session presenters, 4 optional workshops, 2 study tours and 18 poster presentation over the three days.
The Conference Program examined the challenges, opportunities, trends and issues currently facing sector professionals. Presentations facilitated discussion as we considered the "liveability" of our cities and towns and the changes required to build the communities of tomorrow.
The Association for Sustainability in Business Inc would like to thank all of those who participated in this year's conference; the speakers who provided very beneficial, powerful and thought-provoking presentations, the dedicated efforts of our sponsors and supporters, our Conference Chair Paula Drayton and committee members. Without the huge efforts of those involved this event would certainly not be possible.
We look forward to your involvement and support of the 2015 Conference. The destination and date will be announced in the coming weeks.
What delegates said about the 2014 Conference:
"Best conference I've been to in a while"
"The conference provided an opportunity for me to pause, reflect, plan and celebrate. I came away refreshed"
"It was very educational, inspiring and informative. There was also great access to the presenters and some amazing people in the industries affecting liveable cities."
"The organisers chose an excellent, expert group of speakers. The keynotes were informative and provocative and the presentations useful and applicable to a range of contexts."
"Good range of presentation topics covering many aspects of city development that were relevant for a broad cross-section from public and private sectors, and city and regional areas. "
"Exceeded my expectations. Fantastic."
"Such a great networking, learning, and information exchange opportunity."
The Program Committee would like to thank our 2014 keynote speakers:
- Mr Tim Bennett, Managing Director, Managed Growth Group
- Mr Steven Burgess, Principal, MRCagney Pty Ltd
- Adj. Prof Penelope Coombes, Managing Director, People for Places and Spaces
- Mr Paul Edwards, Group General Manager, Sustainability, Mirvac
- Professor Marcus Foth, Founder and Director, Urban Informatics Research Lab.

X-Factor winners Little Mix coming to Southend
9:00am Friday 16th November 2012 in Southend By David Trayner
X FACTOR winning girl group Little Mix are looking forward to seeing their "Essex Mixers" when they visit Southend.
The foursome, two of whom have connections to south Essex, will sign copies of their first book Little Mix: Ready to Fly, at the Victoria Shopping Centre next Friday.
Member Jesy Nelson, who is from Romford and whose mum Jan is a police community support officer in Canvey, said: "We're all so excited about our signing in Southend.
"I especially can't wait to return to Essex and see all our Essex Mixers."
Fans must buy a copy of the new book, which reveals the girls' style secrets and their early lives as well as charting the group's rise to fame through the ITV talent show, and collect a wristband from WHSmith in the centre tomorrow.
Member Perrie Edwards, 19, started her singing career in the Woodlands Social Club, Basildon, which is managed by her stepdad, Mark Dufty Mr Dufty, 38, said: "She's going to be over the moon to see her mates down here. Her mum Deborah is very proud of her.
"They go everywhere. Perrie loves it."
The group, which also include Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall, were the first group to win the competition.
They began X Factor as four individuals before being made into a group by mentor Tulisa Contostavlos.
The visit will be the second celebrity signing for the shopping centre in two weeks after Celebrity Juice star Keith Lemon met fans at the centre last Friday.
Centre manager Dennis Baldry said: "Following the success of the Keith Lemon signing last week, we are really looking forwards to having Little Mix at the Victoria shopping centre.
"The fact that Jesy is an Essex girl is particularly exciting, as it is always a pleasure to welcome some home grown talent.
"We are expecting the event to be a lot of fun."

The Detroit Pistons have improved quickly this season, 7-3 in February after starting the season 4-19. But that doesn't mean the club should be beating the Boston Celtics twice in the span of a week. Detroit took Boston to the house again on Sunday, capitalizing on a big second quarter and holding on to win 96-81 at the Palace.
Rajon Rondo was ejected for throwing the ball at an official, but even when he was in the game Boston struggled mightily with turnovers. The team racked 22 giveaways in 93 possessions, with Rondo leading the way with six in 28 minutes. Paul Pierce and Ray Allen had five and four apiece. That stood in stark contrast to Detroit's 14 assists, and helped the Pistons win by double-digits despite shooting just 37.8 percent from the floor.
Greg Monroe looked like the best player on the floor, and probably was. MonRobocop finished with 17 points, 10 rebounds and three assists; his line would have been better had he hit more than one of his seven free throw attempts. He's been a 77 percent free-throw shooter on the season, so this performance was uncharacteristic.
In other action:
Timberwolves 92, Sixers 91: This was one of two games in which a solid defender committed a critical, terrible foul while up by a point with seconds left. In this one, Andre Iguodala -- an All-Star largely because of his defensive prowess -- fouled a driving Kevin Love with Philly up by one, sending the big man to the line with 0.1 seconds left. Love hit both, and that's all she wrote. Ricky Rubio scored a career-high 22 points.
Cavaliers 93, Kings 92: Here's the other instance of the bad foul -- with Sacramento up one on the road, Tyreke Evans fouled a driving Kyrie Irving, sending the rookie to the line with 0.4 seconds left. Irving hit both, and the Kings' tip attempt(s) were ineffective. The Kings dropped their fifth straight and ruined a perfectly good 23-point, 11-assist, 8-rebound game from Isaiah Thomas.
Rockets 101, Jazz 85: Houston shot 51 percent. Utah shot 39 percent. The Jazz bench went 6-of-30 from the floor.
Pacers 108, Bobcats 73: Maaaaaaaaaan ...
Bucks 92, Nets 85: How do you know Brook Lopez is back? Because the Nets' starting center position only produced two rebounds.

MADISON Chippewa Indian bands in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan are asking the state Department of Natural Resources to halt plans for a wolf hunt in northern Wisconsin this fall.
Jim Zorn directs the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission, which includes 11 Chippewa bands.
Zorn says the tribe believes the hunt is biologically reckless and culturally harmful to Chippewa Indians. Zorn says the tribe thinks Wisconsin's wolf population goal of 350 is too low and could harm the species.

DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp tells the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram (http://tinyurl.com/9keubsp ) the state is drafting a response to the commission's concerns. The DNR says more than 10,000 people have applied for a wolf hunt permit so far. The rules prohibit hunts on American Indian reservations in Wisconsin.

Leatherhead till snatcher jailed
10:50am Tuesday 27th November 2012 in News By Sophia Sleigh, Chief Reporter
A 31-year-old man has been jailed for snatching money out of tills.
Nicholas English of Highgate Cottages, Fairoak Lane, Leatherhead, pleaded guilty to three till snatches where he amassed £540 from stores in Cobham, Weybridge and Horsley.
On November 16 at Guildford Crown Court, he was sentenced to 48 weeks in jail. The 90 days he had already spent on remand counted towards his sentence.
English asked for eight further offences to be taken into consideration totalling £991 from stores in Worcester Park, North Cheam and New Malden.
The offences took place during the summer 2012 where English would enter the shops and pretend to pay for a cheap item before making a grab for the notes when the cashier opened the till.
He was caught in August after committing an offence in Budgens in Horsley.
A have-a-go-hero stopped him from driving off by taking his car keys. English assaulted the man but failed to get his keys back and fled to the local train station.
Members of the public brought him back to the store where he offered to give them their money back in exchange for his car keys.
The police arrived and arrested English who spat in an officer's face.
Sutton Detective Constable Charlie Lourenco, of Sutton's Burglary & Robbery Investigation Team, was joined by Met Police officers from Kingston and Surrey Police in the investigation that led to English's conviction in court.

I work for a small development shop doing server and occasionally desktop apps for customers. We were thinking about developing a product and contacted two studios that have experience with what we like to do. One didnt get back to us. The other listed how many hours each features would take and at the end put a 15% fee for testing and 'unknown'.
While this doesn't strike me as odd, their hourly rate is. They charge $150 USD. For 160 man hours we have a bill of 24k (USD). Some programmers make that amount in 6months, this company/person wants it for one month work. Now the programmers in my studio make about $35 an hour. If we put a guy on it, it MIGHT take us 4-5months which is roughly what our bill comes to be.
But i still think its ridiculous. Is this standard? should i try to find another company? what should i do?
What he is doing is specialized however the SDK required is well document and a microsoft product (so we have faith in the documentation, but its still specialized). The company is located in california.
What are you thoughts?

A Maury County man is behind bars Wednesday, accused of pouring gasoline in his home and threatening to set it on fire with his girlfriend and three children, ages 15, 15 and 10, inside.
Kevin Daniel is charged with aggravated domestic assault and three counts of reckless endangerment.
According to Columbia police, on Tuesday night, Daniel, 37, got into an argument with his girlfriend inside his Mockingbird Drive home.
During the argument, he grabbed a gas can and poured gasoline on the wall, door and floor of his living room, pulled out a lighter and stated, "I'll show you I own this house."
His girlfriend was able to wrestle the gas can away from Daniel, throw it in the yard and call 911.
Within minutes, the street was filled with fire and police, expecting the worst.
"If someone hadn't called 911, he would have, I believe, burned her up in there," neighbor Sonya Tomlin told Nashville's News 2, adding that Daniel told her they were fighting because his girlfriend has a new boyfriend.
According to the police report, responding officers found Daniel on the couch, smelling of alcohol and gasoline.
He is taken into custody without further incident.
Neighbors told Nashville's News 2 there is a recent history of violence between the couple.
"I was scared. That house is old. [It] could set fire very easily. I'm very scared for the mother of the children over there," neighbor Tonya Davis said.
The initial reports were more volatile than the call actually turned out to be.
Firefighters said reports that Daniel had poured gas all over the house were exaggerated and the amount of gasoline was only about a small cup's worth.
Daniel remains in the Maury County jail on a $14,000 bond. He faces an August 21 court date.
Daniel was arrested earlier this month for disorderly conduct and DUI.

Springfield, Mass. - April 1, 2012 - The Springfield College softball team was swept by Wellesley College in its home opener on Sunday in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) play on Potter Field. The Blue prevailed 2-1 in 10 innings in the opener before taking the second contest, 6-1, in a game that was shortened due to rain.
The victory boosts Wellesley's record to 7-9, 3-1 in league play while the Pride fall to 8-5 2-2.
The opening game of the doubleheader was a marathon, lasting over two and a half hours and featured a pair of dominating pitchers. For Wellesley, Sarah Schwartzmeyer had a sensational performance on the mound, striking out 14 batters and scattering seven hits. Springfield's Ashley Marino, who hurled a no-hitter her last time out, finished with four strike outs as she gave up nine hits.
Neither team was able to scratch out runs until extra innings. However, both squads had prime scoring opportunities in the early going, had it not have been for the strong arms of Springfield's Kelsey Dunn and Wellesley's Abigayle Casey. Casey threw out Springfield's Amy Entel at the plate in the second inning and snuffed out a late Pride rally in the sixth, throwing Kasey Kellyout at home. Dunn kept the Blue off the scoreboard in the fourth on a great throw from left field to get pinch runner Rachael Goldenberg at the dish.
In the top of the eighth, Kimberly Cabral's soft single to left field allowed Schwartzmeyer to score ffrom third to put Wellesley up 1-0.
The Pride answered with its own run in the bottom of the eighth to force even more extra innings. After pinch runner Allison McCarthy advanced to third on a sac bunt by Tess Gagliano, Christina Leader roped a single into left to even things at one run apiece.
The ninth inning was played without a run. In the 10th, with two outs, Cabral hit a hard shot up the middle that Kelly made a terrific play to field the ball. However, she was unable to get her throw to first in time, allowing Phoebe Walsh-Costello to score from third. Schwartzmeyer closed out the Pride by striking out the side in the 10th.
In the second game, which was played in constant rain, Lauren Goldfarb started things off with a bang, sending a screaming shot over the centerfield fence for a lead off home run.
In the top of the third, Cabral drew a two-out walk and would come around to score after Jayne Ellis smashed a double into center field to make it a 2-0 game. Springfield got a run back in the bottom half of the frame. Kelly Blake turned on a pitch and scorched a solo home run to left field for her second round-tripper of the season.
Wellesley benefited from a pair of Springfield errors in the fourth to score three more runs to earn a 5-1 lead. Mariah Phillips reached on an error to lead off the inning, and after Mara Blesoff singled up the middle, the duo moved into scoring position on a sac bunt by Jennifer Migliore. Philips then scored on an error, and pinch runner Goldenberg came around to score on a wild pitch. Abby Casey, who reached on a fielder's choice, accounted for the Blue's third run of the frame as she scored on a Goldfarb ground out.
Blesoff cracked an RBI double off the left field fence in the fifth, allowing Jayne Ellis, who recorded a double earlier in the inning, to score for the game's final run. Springfield had started to mount a rally in the bottom of the sixth, scoring three runs. However, due to heavy rain, the field was deemed unplayable, thus ending the game with the score after the last completed inning, the fifth.
Jen Joseph lost for the first time this season, giving up three earned runs off five hits, while striking out three. She walked two and had a pair of wild pitches. Her counterpart, Lindsay Johnson, picked up the win after hurling five innings of four-hit ball. She struck out four, walked, three, and had two wild pitches as well.
Springfield will play again on Tuesday afternoon when it hosts Eastern Connecticut for the doubleheader beginning at 3:30 pm.

PEORIA HEIGHTS, Ill -- If you've never been to a tapas bar, Noir Tapas and Rendezvous Lounge seems to be the only one in the Peoria area.
It's a perfect place to experience the well-cooked, smaller plates intended to be shared by the entire party, even by a party of two.
"We do have a lot of couples here all the time and also big groups as well," says Manger Georgina Hill. "We do have couches that people can sit at and so forth."
The couches are surrounded by drapery in a dimly-lit atmosphere, accented by a colorfully illuminated bar and a projector showing film noir flicks.
"I think it's eclectic, kinda cool with just the music," says Lexie Palus as she sips wine next to her fiance Collin Grant. "It's just a cool atmosphere. It's kind of loungey."
What really brings back frequenting couples is the food, which inspires the sharing of both meals and dialogue.
"We've lived all over the world and these scallops are probably the best I've ever had, and the same with the mussels," Grant adds. "They're fantastic."
Alyssa Donovan joined me for the more romantic setting this week, because the other photographers aren't really my type.
Alyssa and I started with Brie Crostini topped with dates, walnuts, and honey.
A short time later, we shared Blackened Swordfish covered in pineapple mango salsa and Bacon-Wrapped Chicken and Dates.
She felt the Brie Crostini was the best, and she wanted more.
I enjoyed the swordfish and bacon-wrapped chicken much more than she, especially after not eating meat for more than a month.
What we did agree on was the Vanilla and Pistachio Gelato served with a spiced rum cream sauce for dessert.
If you ask me, the entire experience was worth the atmosphere, service, and cost: $70.58 plus tip.
"Everything is home-made here, so it's all fresh and really nice," Hill says. "We have some really good desserts, and we're also going to have a special menu on Valentine's Day as well."
Noir Tapas Rendezvous and Lounge is at 4606 North Prospect Road in Peoria Heights.
They are open from 4 PM to 11 PM and close at midnight Fridays and Saturdays.
They stay closed Sundays and Mondays, and they still have reservations for Valentine's Day.

|2009, 3rd round, 19th pick by Patriots
Cincinnati Bengals: 2013 team needs
We highlight the top three needs on offense and defense for the Cincinnati Bengals, and take a look back at their 2012 draft class.
Bengals DE Johnson receives franchise tag
The Bengals announced Friday that they placed the franchise tag on DE Michael Johnson.
Bengals name Hue Jackson RB coach
Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis named Hue Jackson the team's RB coach and special assistant to the head coach on Wednesday.
LB Brandon Joiner joins Bengals after prison term
Rookie LB Brandon Joiner has been activated by the Bengals after completing a prison term.
Bengals sign OLB Maybin
The Bengals signed former first-round OLB Aaron Maybin on Friday, the team announced.
Gruden confirms interviews, but plans to stay with Bengals
Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden confirmed he will interview for head-coaching jobs but intends to stay in Cincinnati.
Bengals' foundation solid, but questions remain
The Ravens, Steelers and Browns are in various states of flux. The Bengals, however, should be pretty stable. But there's work to be done.
Texans edge Bengals for wild-card win
Arian Foster ran for 140 yards and a TD, and the Texans used a stifling defense for a 19-13 win over the Bengals on Saturday.
Friday injury report for wild-card round
Here is the Friday injury report for the wild-card weekend, showing to what degree injured players participated in their teams' practices.
Key matchup: Texans DE J.J. Watt vs. Bengals O-line
The Bengals vs. Texans might be the least attractive matchup of wild-card weekend, but it's another chance to watch star DE J.J. Watt.

AFC North Spin cycle: Ravens rest, Browns start anew
The Ravens and Bengals are playoff-bound — and pretty well-rested, all things considered. The Browns? They're making big changes.
Dunlap's pick-six leads Bengals past Ravens
Carlos Dunlap returned an interception 14 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter Sunday, sending the Bengals to a 23-17 victory over the Ravens.
The Bengals have reached deals with two more of their unrestricted free agents, cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones and Tate.||||||| That makes five free agents on defense and six on offense or special teams that have decided to stay with Cincinnati. The Bengals' only notable signing from outside the team has been backup quarterback Josh Johnson, who will compete for the job that opened when Bruce Gradkowski signed with Pittsburgh as a free agent.
Tate already has made an impact this season with two touchdowns on kickoff returns for the New England Patriots. Now he should get more of a chance as a receiver.||||||| With Randy Moss traded to Minnesota and Deion Branch newly arrived in a deal with Seattle, the speedster whose past two seasons were ruined by knee injuries looms as a more prominent target Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Tate has started two of the Patriots four games and caught 11 passes. But he returned second-half kickoffs for a 97-yard touchdown in the season opener and a 103-yard score in the fourth game.
Tate had four catches for 36 yards and a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to begin the second half of a 38-24 win over Cincinnati on Sunday.||||||| Tate made almost no impact as a rookie last year, but he was a third-round pick in 2009 who could certainly contribute to New England's pass-happy attack. He also showed his explosiveness on special teams.
Tate is on IR with a season-ending knee injury.|||||||
Tate was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list Monday.||||||| The Patriots made a pair of other minor moves, placing rookie linebacker Tyrone McKenzie on injured reserve, tackle Mark LeVoir on the reserve/physically unable to perform list.

The cosmetology school at Kilgore College in Longview is open again after a scabies outbreak shut the school down.
The dean of the college says any student with scabies had to provide a doctors release before being allowed back in the school.
The outbreak started last week when two students got the parasite.
Classes were canceled Friday through Monday Nov. 14, while the entire cosmetology school was deep cleaned.

text: It is impossible for me to identify my artwork with one genre. The technique and style I employ reflect a constant evolution in my artistic journey, which is the foundation for the exhibit Z Mix, sponsored so graciously by Piola. I am thrilled to participate in Piola's ongoing effort to showcase cutting edge and innovative events in the literary and visual arts. With locations throughout the world, Piola brings a perfect blend of terrific food and cultural awareness to an ever-growing number of communities; it's a very dynamic and exciting project to be a part of, and it reflects my dream of a world without borders for the arts.This dream stems from the fact that Brazil holds a very special place in my heart, for it's where I studied architecture and design, and it's where my family lives. I arrived in South Florida from São Paulo in 1990, and I return frequently and remain active in the Brazilian art scene, having displayed my work in various venues such as the Salão de Artes Armando Vianna in Rio de Janeiro and in the exposition Saguão do Diário de Mogi in São Paulo, which featured exclusively my artwork. Also, I recently donated a series of canvas paintings depicting key biblical scenes to the Cathedral of São José in Severínia, São Paulo. I find myself equally involved in the local art scene in the United States. My artwork can be found in private estates, offices, and restaurants throughout the south Florida region, as well as in New York City, San Francisco, and Austin. I am also fortunate to have been featured in various media venues, such as the Sun-Sentinel, Palm Beach Post, Miami Herald, and Ocean Drive Magazine. This latest exhibit of my work at Piola represents a truly meaningful milestone in my artistic journey; I hope everyone enjoys it!
