Nail Polish Frenzy
Nail polish has always been a fun and unexpected way to accessorize an outfit. Nowadays, the cosmetics industry is pushing the preset boundaries of basic colors and using more advanced technologies and methods to create unique polish trends and effects.
Magnetic nail polishes are becoming increasingly popular. I am a huge fan of Essie nail polish, so when I stumbled across their new magnetic Repstyle Collection, I just had to try it. The collection includes some metallic and some color shades. On a first glance, these bottles seem to contain the same-old shimmer nail polish. In actuality, the bottle contains a special kind of polish that, when used in conjunction with the provided magnetic top, creates a crocodile or snakeskin pattern and appears as though the surface was a 3D texture. I own sssssexy from this collection, which comes in a deep ruby red, and the snakeskin pattern is the perfect accent for the popular one-odd-nail-out trend or a uniformly painted set of digits. Other magnetic nail polishes are available to create numerous patterns including stripes, flowers and even waves! These polishes can be found at drugstores and specialty beauty shops.
Magnetized nail polishes aren't the only out-of-the-box trends available. Other specialty nail polishes include:
- Matte formulas that create a suede-like appearance
- Natural polishes that are completely toxin free, like the brand Zoya
- The Caviar nail polish kit (which includes tiny beads and adhesive to create a unique 3D effect)
- The recently popular crackle nail polishes
- The easy on-the-go nail polish strips
The possibilities are endless!
These polish effects come in many brands and price ranges so it is easy to attain this new fashion must. The range of unique effects and abilities that nail polishes have is increasing by the season. Watch the magazines to keep up with the latest trends, try them out, and see which ones you like the best!

Secretary Arne Duncan affirms CTE in response to Harvard report
US Secretary of Education applauds Harvard report for "shining the spotlight on the critical field of career and technical education," but stresses the importance of rigor and relevance.
Harvard's "Pathways to Prosperity" and its National Impact
"CTE has been the neglected stepchild of education reform. That neglect has to stop," stated Secretary Duncan yesterday in response to the Harvard Graduate School of Education's report on the nation's failure to prepare students for college and careers.
Click here to read "Pathways to Prosperity".
Echoing Harvard's call for a "comprehensive pathways network" of greater career counseling, high quality career education and articulation programs, Duncan stresses the importance of 'CTE 2.0':
"Statewide articulation agreements must become the norm. Employers will be much more engaged in designing programs of study and promoting stackable, industry-recognized credentials. And instead of applying the RPOS framework to just a few CTE initiatives, we would like to see it applied to many more Perkins-funded CTE programs."
Read more of Duncan's remarks here.
Duncan cites firsthand experience implementing CTE reform programs in Chicago and indicates an understanding of the challenges CTE programs face, but also the critical need for expansion and support.

EDMONTON — The Edmonton Archdiocese has lost one of its finest educators and intellectuals. Providence Sister Lina Gaudette, a theologian, religious educator, certified psychologist and writer, died at the Providence Centre infirmary March 27. She was 89.
The holder of a doctorate in theology from Notre Dame University, Gaudette served on the faculty of St. Joseph Seminary from 1967 and was one of the founding faculty members of Newman Theological College in 1969.

SASKATOON — There is a place for Catholic scholarship at secular universities — and Catholic thought enriches society at large, says Dr. Joseph Boyle.
"The way in which people learn and the way in which universities contribute to the common good is by the dialectic of ideas," said Boyle, stressing the need for Catholics to speak in their own distinctive voice.
WASHINGTON — The U.S. bishops' Committee on Doctrine has concluded that a 2007 book written by Sister Elizabeth Johnson "contains misrepresentations, ambiguities and errors" related to the Catholic faith.
The committee said in a detailed 21-page statement released March 30 that the book, Quest for the Living God: Mapping Frontiers in the Theology of God, failed to take the faith of the Catholic Church as its starting point.
Basilian Father Terry Kersch is a walking enigma, previously living the life of a soldier and then another as a man of the Gospel.
"The religious life and the military life, in some fundamental ways, are not all that different," said Kersch. "In the military life, it's the mission that takes precedence and part of your identity is putting yourself at the service of an overall mission.
OTTAWA — The archbishop of Ottawa has cancelled a visit by a Mexican priest over concerns his human rights organization was too closely allied with other groups fighting to decriminalize abortion.
Father Luis Arriaga, director of the of the Miguel Pro Centre for Human Rights (PRODH), was scheduled to hold meetings and speak publicly on behalf of the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (CCODP) April 2-3.
Canadian Catholics will begin using the new English translation of the Roman Missal on the First Sunday of Advent, Nov. 27.
The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) made the announcement April 4, after receiving recognitio for all sections of the revised Missal for use in Canada.
The great accomplishments of the Western world have come at the cost of our faith, says the archbishop of Winnipeg.
"Our world has a very difficult time believing in God," Archbishop James Weisgerber told a recent Theology on Tap session.
NEW YORK — The graphic depiction of Jesus as the suffering Man of Sorrows is not a crowd pleaser but is a crowd draw, according to a Jesuit art historian.
"No one would dispute the importance of Christ's sacrificial death in Christian theology, but we are less inclined today to decorate our living rooms with bloody representations of him," said Jesuit Father Gregory Waldrop.
At Easter, 23 adults and children at St. Thomas More Parish will join the Roman Catholic Church. All of them have faith journeys poles apart that led them to the Church.
One decided to become Catholic after escaping injury when a table fell on his head. Another was intrigued by the writings of Pope Benedict. A third has been looking for the right church since she was six.
OTTAWA — Social conservative leaders have expressed disappointment Prime Minister Stephen Harper refuses to reopen debates on abortion or marriage even if the Conservatives win a majority in the May 2 election.
But one prominent social conservative says taking these issues off the public agenda is a sign of a bigger problem: No serious issues — such as health care reform, immigration or serious nation security problems - get discussed in a responsible way in elections either.

What's Up, Mormons?
Here are a few last findings from Harris and Pew, the former having to do with registered voters and the latter with likely ones. The polls are pretty close overall, Obama 53-44 (Harris) and 52-46 (Pew). White Catholics diverge radically: McCain 57-40 (Harris), Obama 47-45 (Pew). Harris has white evangelicals surprisingly close (for them): McCain 61-34; Pew has them at a more expected 68-23. Harris has Jews backing Obama 76-24 (nothing from Pew).
If there's anything really noteworthy here as we wrap up our pre-election poll-reading, it's what Harris reports on Mormons, who tend to come in for precious little attention, given their staunch Republicanism and demographic concentration in states (Idaho, Utah) where it would take a partisan sea change to make a difference in a presidential election. Anyway, Harris finds Mormons backing McCain 60-37. That seems like a pretty healthy plurality until you realize that 81 percent of Mormons voted for George W. Bush.
What's up with that? Well, at a session on Mitt Romney's presidential campaign at the American Academy of Religion, it emerged from Mormon attendees that there was a good deal of unhappiness among Mormons with the Republican Party and how Romney was treated by its evangelical base. The anecdotal evidence cited suggests that not a few Mormons have decided not to vote for the GOP nominee, and may even pull the Democratic lever.
Could such a decision make a difference? Well, both Nevada and Arizona are pretty close, and Mormons constitute six and five percent of their populations respectively. A shift of 40 points among Mormons would equal 2-3 percent of the vote in those states--which could well turn out to be the difference.

There have been some strong feelings among some Mormons regarding the treatment of Romney.
There is a really good book (available at Amazon.com, etc.) that goes into detail about the anti-Mormon bigotry during Romney's run for president. The book is titled, "A Different God? Mitt Romney, the Religiour Right and the Mormon Question."
As a Mormon, I found a considerable amount of distaste for the way many evangelicals dumped on Mormonism especially with Governor Huckabee. I find it difficult to unify with people who are trying to constantly tell me how terrible I am because of my religious perspectives. Here I thought Christ taught us to "love one another" and "be one, and if ye are not one, ye are not mine."
While Mormons have a tendency to grow in many areas of the world with averages of around 450,000 converts per year, please understand that not every Mormon is a Republican. Most Mormons don't live in the United States. Most convert Mormons maintain their original political philosophy.
But as your article states, most Mormons in the United States have a great many children. I personally have six. One of my grandparents had 88 grandchildren with great-grandparents having as many as 96 grandchildren without polygamy. While this is not always the average among Mormons, we still have more than the national average.
While I still voted for McCain this year, I find it hard to unite with those of my brothers and sisters who call themselves Christian: Baptist, Methodist, Church of Christ, etc. when a question of religion has to be an issue for the Presidency of the United States.

Lombardi is gone
The Raiders have fired their highest-ranking personnel executive. And the only major question surrounding the move is: What took them so long? Michael Lombardi had been a lame duck – think of one of Rich Gannon's passes in Super Bowl XXXVII – for months. It amazed me that he (or coach Art Shell) wasn't fired immediately late last November, when Shell launched his "fox in the hen house" tirade and it became clear the two men, who should have been… Read More »

CATEGORIES Casting, New Releases, RumorMonger, Movies, New Releases, CinematicalAs the world waits to see if M. Night Shyamalan can regain his Hollywood mojo with The Last Airbender, rumors are swirling around Hollywood that the filmmaker is already shopping his next big project and has some A-list talent attached to star.
Shyamalan, no stranger to extreme secrecy, has been quietly circulating the new script to high level studio executives to drum up interest. No details about the plot are known -- because any executive who reads it has to agree to the filmmaker's stipulations. Those include having a Shyamalan assistant present to observe the reading. Said assistant then takes the script back when the exec is finished. Talk about cloak-and-dagger ...
Heat Vision broke the news about the new script and also has the inside scoop on who might turn up in the cast should it eventually get made. Bradley Cooper, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Bruce Willis are all "loosely attached" to star according to the article. One would have to assume that the presence of those three names would be enough to capture the attention of most studio bosses -- in spite of Shyamalan's recent box-office struggles.
Shyamalan, who rose to commercial and critical success thanks to twisty-turny films like The Sixth Sense has seen his stock fall in recent years. The Last Airbender is a huge departure for the writer-director, a film focused on big-budget special effects . Maybe this change of pace was exactly what the filmmaker needed to break out of his creative rut. I suppose we'll find out in the weeks and months ahead.
What do you think? Does news of a new Shyamalan flick inspire any excitement in you or is this where you yawn and think "Oh, another ponderous mainstream film with a big 'plot twist' and little else?" Opine below.

The best Kama Sutra video, its full title is Penthouse Kama Sutra The Art of Making Love - ©1993 A*Vision Entertainment, 60 minutes. It's not a typical porno-outfit produced silly multiple-hooking-up video, not hard-core. What it is is actual Kama Sutra positions from the Vatsayana book, done in a classy way, with good looking attractive actors, in pleasant surroundings, attractively lit, & irrestibly erotic. It has about a 10-12 minute introduction to the philosophy of Kama Sutra that is a good warm-up for those partners who might be a bit shy. The voice over explains each position in the repertoire, and why it might be a good one to explore. You'll be disappointed with anything less - Penthouse really should put this out on DVD!

Over the past week the Jeremy Lin story (aka Linsanity aka bad, lazy Lin pun time aka racism ahoy) has risen from modest levels of "We will remember this as the Jeremy Lin game" to...well...outscoring Kobe and dropping the highest total for any Knick this season against the Lakers in MSG. While most of us are excited about this diamond in the rough there is still a puzzlement as to his true talent level and staying power. You never have a complete picture of an athlete after a week of play, doubly so when it is an athlete who has eluded scrutiny for so long.
After the Lakers game, I became a firm believer. You don't just drop 38 points like that with a veteran team keying in on you, tired legs or not. The Twolves game only convinced me further. 20 pts 8 ast 6 reb and 3 stl on an off-day (15 pts in one half). I know it is foolish to get worked up over gaudy single-game statistics like these. Sometimes if you're a not-so-great player you have a 1% chance any given night of dropping 40. That 1% is bound to happen sooner or later. When you talk about a streak of performances like this, however, the probabilities multiply and dwindle. I went to basketball-reference and used the Player Streak finder to search for all players since the 2006-2007 season with streaks of at least 20 ppg and 5 assists, similar to what Fivethirtyeight did recently but I watered down the requirements a bit just to get a bigger list for comparison as well as include Lin's recent game.
The worst player on that list to do it five times or more in a row is Devin Harris. He did it twice in the 2008-2009 season, the best of his career (21.3 PPG 6.9 APG). The rest of the list is comprised of Hall of Famers, perennial all-stars, and good players in prime seasons (like Harris). Going back to 2000-2001 the worst player by far to accomplish the feat was Damon Stoudemire in one of his later seasons. After him, the worst players to have a 5 game streak like this are guys like Steve Francis, Ricky Davis, Jamal Mashburn. Good company. And he is doing this to basically start his career on a team where he has been the primary ballhandler and scorer with fairly terrible offensive players getting minutes around him.
Considering JLin's probable role with this team, his PG skills and some of the special circumstances surrounding his debut, I feel like the 20 points 5 assist criteria is misdirected. The chart is dominated by scorers first and foremost. Part of what makes Lin special is his pure PG ability, which is enhanced by and enhances his scoring ability. So I ran a search for streaks of 15 points, 7 assist games, which also encapsulates Lin's recent streak but emphasizes the assists over the scoring.
Provided by Basketball-Reference.com: View Original Table
Generated 2/13/2012.
I think this gives a better idea of Lin's "range" than anything else, since his point numbers are likely to go down but his assist numbers will probably increase. Of those who have streaks of at least 5 games the worst to do it are guys like Mo Williams, Darren Collison, and Kirk Hinrich. Going back to 2001, Luke Ridnour may be the worst to do it once, but the majority of people on both lists are good-to-great guards. A run like this occurs fairly rarely unless you're one of the very best. Lesser PGs still pull it off on occasion, but very rarely more than once. I think we can consider it a small measure of skill and consistency. This particular streak has an excellent chance of continuing into the higher rankings if Lin keeps it up.
Lin may end up being at the skill level of Kirk Hinrich when all is said and done, but even a Hinrich in D'Antoni's system with these tools around him can be astounding. I think that's his floor. Now consider that Lin has done this in his very first opportunity getting playing time and with the two best offensive weapons on his team either slumping/hurt (Melo vs Nets) or not playing at all. I believe this guy is something special and is what the team has been missing to make it a contender. At minimum he's proven that he's NBA worthy and talented enough to be a starter.

'Minecraft' 1.5 Redstone Update Released, 'Minecraft' 1.5.1 Preview Snapshot Teased For Thursday
After six months of development, Mojang has finally delivered the "Minecraft" 1.5 Redstone Update, though it certainly didn't make the January 2013 release date promised at MineCon 2012 last November.
Originally revealed during a panel at MineCon 2012 last year, the "Minecraft" 1.5 Redstone Update is finally live, and available for download via the "Minecraft" launcher at this time. The latest major patch for "Minecraft" delivers a complete overhaul of the game's lighting engine, new redstone mechanics, updated Skeleton and Zombie mobs, introduces scoreboards/leaderboards, Minecraft Realms support, and loads more.
Follow Us
Dozens of preview snapshots preceded the "Minecraft" 1.5 Redstone Update, allowing players increasingly larger looks at today's official patch even as the team at Mojang worked through hundreds of bugs which have been fixed in the Redstone Update. While many feared that the "Minecraft" 1.5 Redstone Update would miss its latest launch window, after the pre-release was delayed due to continued bug issues, the patch's launch on Wednesday technically still falls within the early March 2013 time table promised by "Minecraft" programmer Jens Bergensten last month.
The "Minecraft" 1.5 Redstone Update also introduces a new ore (Nether Quartz) and several new blocks including the Dropper and Hopper minecart. "Minecraft" players will also find that the various mobs which inhabit their worlds have a newfound fear of minecart rails as well.
Even better news, for those who've been testing out the new content since the "Minecraft" 1.5 Redstone update went live last week, is that Mojang is already hard at work on "Minecraft" 1.5.1 and could release the first preview snapshot of the next "Minecraft" patch as early as Thursday.
Here's the "Minecraft" 1.5 Redstone Update change log (minus bug fixes):

Is Marilyn Vos Savant wrong on this probability question?

Hurkyl, I admire your persistence in try to explain this.
The statement presented by the author quoted in the OP is unambiguous and clearly correct, but the brief manner of presenting an incomplete statement in the second observation clearly has caused a lot of confusion.
I believe the following statement is a way to say what the original author intended to say but which avoids the confusion and likely would not have even lead to this thread having been started in the first place.
"If you roll n dice the likelihood of your getting any SPECIFIC sequence is identical to the likelihood of your getting any OTHER specific sequence, but if I don't see you roll the dice and you tell me you got a pretty random jumble of numbers, I'm going to find that easy to believe because it's quite likely that's what will happen, but if you tell me you got something like all ones, I'm going to find that pretty odd because it's unlikely. On the other hand, if I gave you a random sequence of numbers and asked you to roll that SPECIFIC sequence, I would find your getting it to be exactly as unlikely as your getting all ones."

Albion face French threat
10:00am Saturday 10th November 2012 in Albion By Brian Owen
Albion will have to beware a bit of French flair at Molineux today.
Former Rennes star Bakary Sako, who is of Malian descent, has been a star performer for Wolves this season.
Sako nominally lines up on the left side of midfield in a 4-4-2 set-up but will drift inside or act as an extra striker.
He is a big threat with his delivery at set-pieces.
Wolves boss Stale Solbakken is looking to introduce a more considered way of playing this term.
It is proving to be a bit of a culture shock after the more in-your-face approach of his predecessor Mick McCarthy.
However Solbakken reckons his side are on course and has warned they are close to getting things right at home.
He said: "We are not satisfied with two points from our last five games.
"That's a disaster for us when you look at the table and see where we were.
"But it's very important to keep this in perspective.
"I think we are going in a good way. That is maybe stupid to say after we have taken two points in five games but I feel quite comfortable we are going in the right direction.
"The home games have been about killing them off. We have had big chances that could have changed a draw into a victory."
On-loan winger Jermaine Pennant, who came off the bench in the 2-1 midweek defeat at Hull, could start today.
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake is top league goalscorer for Wolves this term with five while Sako has four to go with his five assists.
For more on how Wolves will play – plus Mike Bailey's memories of a great Albion win at Molineux – see The Argus today.

So don't drop him and handle it in the offseason. The GM knows he won't be allowed to bid on the guy, so no, he has nothing to complain about.dasein wrote:This is a little spurious. Getting the cheap player in season has more to do with other GMs not having the roster spot or cap space available than it does simply deciding not to bid. The GM who dropped the guy could complain that he did so because he was wasting (an expiring) 3M on him, yet he isn't allowed to join the new bidding at 0.5M. All of this is only relevant to expiring contracts of course.
Of course it is, and people who miss this have no one but themselves to blame.dasein wrote:If I wanted to defend the status quo, I'd start with pointing out that players who blow up unexpectedly- like SANDERS! last year- are subject to the same market limitations. You could then mention that having a little cap and open spots up your sleeve for the season is a strategic decision.
The auction system itself is a bigger deal IMO. Bird Rights would follow from that.dasein wrote:No secret that bird rights are piss-weak as is. Something else we could look at.

Well said, but still better said by an Economist leader writer, Oct 7th 2004: "Out with the long "'Short words are best', said Winston Churchill, 'and old words when short are best of all' "AND, not for the first time, he was right: short words are best. Plain they may be, but that is their strength. They are clear, sharp and to the point. You can get your tongue round them. You can spell them. Eye, brain and mouth work as one to greet them as friends, not foes. For that is what they are... "Make your point well with short words, and you will have no use for long ones. Make it not so well, and you will be glad that you kept them crisp. So, by God, will those who have to read you."Comment originally posted on December 16, 2006 11:35 AM
SPEAKING of writing, Derek Lowe, a medicinal chemist, has a post up on the awfulness of science writing.
Scientific writing is notoriously poor. Some of the problem comes from younger scientists trying to emulate what they've already been exposed to. I remember a colleague of mine in the early years of my first job who couldn't have written a report on whether it was raining and make it in under ten pages. I remember talking with this person about their draft of an internal report, which spoke about how they'd systematically investigated the various steric and electronic factors involved by varying the substituents in the distal portion of the aromatic ring in an attempt to learn the effects of these variations on a number of parameters, including oral absorption, activity at the target, clearance, and selectivity, and. . .well, it went on like that, for quite a long time.
"What are you trying to say here", I asked. "Oh, I'm just saying that we did the SAR for the 4-position of the ring", was the reply. "Then say that" was my advice. Ruthless application would have trimmed things down by about 90%, but no, it wouldn't sound like a real report then, would it?
There's a definite style to academic writing, at least in economics, that seems ponderous and awkward to journalists; at The Economist, where many of our economics writers have graduate degrees in the subject, we generally beat it out of the new staff with a cricket bat:
- Never use one word where eight will do; even better if you can stick a few dependant clauses in there.
- Using simple, anglo-saxon words makes you look simple.
- Keep your readers interested in your sentences by refusing to tell them what is happening until the last few words. Do not rest until you have hunted down and exterminated all traces of the quaint old "subject, verb, object" style. Anyone struggling with this should read mystery novels in the original German until this becomes second nature.
- Where possible, start off paragraphs with a thoroughly unnecessary observation, such as "When people are hungry, they usually seek to eat." Reference at least two papers proving same. Later, it will be necessary to prove mathematically that this is so.
- Always remember that in an economics model, everyone is part of a pulsating emergent network of interactions. Thus, it is ridiculous to speak of people doing anything; things happen as a result of unseen economic forces. Therefore, unless it is absolutely impossible, every sentence should be phrased in passive voice.
- If you come to a place where you think a semi-colon belongs, stop! Semi-colons are far too informal for an academic paper. Use a comma instead. The comma's understated elegance is appropriate for all settings.
- If you are in danger of saying anything easily comprehensible, immediately switch to calculus.
A colleague who studied under a moderately famous economist passes on his explanation for the phenomenon: "Your peer reviewers will already be going to sleep. Don't give them any reason to wake up and look for something to criticise."

Senate Saturday session includes Medicaid, immigration still on holdThursday, April 28th, 2011 by Dara Kam
As budget talks on health and human services appropriations stalled, the Senate is moving forward with its Medicaid overhaul. Senate GOP leaders have not scheduled the immigration bill for Saturday, although only two hours of notice are required to add it to the agenda.
The Senate will take up its proposal (SB 1972) on Saturday along with dozens of local bills and Senate confirmations of Gov. Rick Scott's appointees. But no word yet on whether the chamber will address immigration reform, still in flux as Senate Budget Chief J.D. Alexander, now shepherding the bill (SB 2040), weighs his options.
The House and Senate are both looking to put most of the state's 2.9 million Medicaid patients into HMO-style plans. But differences abound between the two approaches. The Senate would divide the state into 19 regions, based on state court circuits; the House proposes eight.
The chambers are far apart on immigration reform as well. The House's Arizona-style plan is on hold as the Senate considers a more moderate approach.

Final Fantasy XIV (version 2) is officially released and in full swing. Sadly, Square didn't learn anything from their previous dealing with the MMORPG genre (Final Fantasy XI) and released FFXIV as a full subscription game with absolutely no free trial for people on the fence about subscribing.
Guess we'll be waiting another decade or so before FFXIV offers a free trial of its own, huh? Doesn't look like I'm missing out on too much since I hear that the game plays like World of Warcraft but with a little less content. Well, the game has been out for a few months so I guess I'll wait and see if it gets better in any way.
Meanwhile, a new gameplay trailer for the much-anticipated Final Fantasy XV recently came out.
Seems to look a lot more like Uncharted/Tomb Raider gameplay than Kingdom Hearts as the developers said. Well, as long as the fantasy is there (e.g. swords, magic, adventure), then I guess I don't mind too much. I just hope there's no in-game player's guide like there is in Kingdom Hearts II and Birth By Sleep (do not appreciate the hand-holding crap).
Signing off,

This Little Monkey (A Modern Baby Shower for a Little Miss)
Hello my fellow party animals! I'm back to once again make good on a promise. As you might recall, I've dubbed June "Wedding Month" (for obvious reasons), but spring and summer are not just for the brides. They are for future mommies too!
As I said in my last post, my friend and coworker just recently found out she's having a baby girl! She asked me to come up with some ideas for her baby shower this August. Will I??? Of course I will! What did I come up with? I think a modern pink and brown MONKEY theme might be perfect for the new bebe.
Theme: This Little Monkey (A Modern Baby Shower for New Baby Girl!)
Color Palette: Pink and Brown with hints of Green…and MONKEYS!
Guests: about 40
Attire: Casual Chic
Top Row: brown monkey invite (ajwrappers.com); pink and green lanterns (www.save-on-crafts.com); pink chocolate-dipped marshmallows (my friend makes these!); peonies in apothecary jars (homegoods for jars)
Second Row: custom banners (www.etsy.com); table-scape; monkey candybar wrappers (ajwrappers.com)
Third Row: herb centerpieces; monkey foil balloons (www.birthdayexpress.com)
Last Row: Cowgirl Cookies (www.bakerella.com); pink and green hydrangea centerpiece; monkey kisses (ajwrappers.com); mint dessert spoons
Hopefully by now, you all know my first step when coming up with a party idea. I get to know my guest of honor. As I noted in my previous post, sometimes she and I differ in decor taste. I would hold that neither of us has "bad" taste, it's just different. But this shower is not about me, it's about her and her new addition! I talked to her briefly about what she thought she might like for her shower. She seemed to really like the pink and brown color scheme (I added the touch of green for some depth) and she was into a whole host of baby paraphernalia and animals. There was also a slew of baby items and animals that were on her "absolutely not" list. The "don't" list included pacifiers, diapers, and sonogram pictures (I wouldn't have done that anyway…it's icky). On the "do" list were onsies, duckies, rattles, diaper pins, and yes…monkeys. She also showed me pictures of some invites she might like. Most had a very clean, modern, minimalist look. I took those pieces of information (and my previous knowledge of her love for making home made items like marshmallows and pickles, and tendencies toward urban uniqueness) and came up with my little shower theme.
Let's start with the invites. I've chosen an invite that's very similar to some that she'd shown me, but incorporated my monkey theme. The best part is that AJ Wrappers has the candy bar wrapper and Hershey kiss stickers to match! And they're customized! I also found some foil monkey balloons to tie in the monkey theme. Just remember, that A FEW foil balloons go a LONG way. Too many balloons (particularly Mylar) can get circus-y…and not in a good way.
Even though a few balloons go a long way, I do love when decorations draw the eye up. An excellent way to bring the party right to the ceiling is by adding white string lights, paper pom-poms (to the right) from martha stewart, and paper lanterns. Save-on-crafts.com sells these lanterns in a variety of different sizes and colors, all for a reasonable price. This really brings the room together.
My friend really has an eye for detail. For her, I really love the table scape in the center of the inspiration board. The green apple place card holder idea is so cute! What I wasn't thrilled about on the table was the centerpiece. Tulips are very spring, and my friend's shower is going to be in the summer. I'd opt to switch out the tulip/grass combo for a green and pink hydrangea number with a large banana leaf (get it?…monkey…banana) lining the inside of the glass vase. I'm also in love with the pink peonies (or what I think are peonies…Liza? A little help?) "trapped" in the apothecary jars. Notice that the third row on the left has some bunched herbs flowing out of jelly jars for an aromatic pop of green on the table. Snip a little of that mint off and tie it around the dessert spoons (as shown in the bottom right of the board) and you've got touches of detail everywhere!
I thought a dessert table would be really great for the shower. It seems that the little miss-to-be really likes chocolate chip cookies, so why not give her an entire "bar" of sweet treats? I found the customizable banner from etsy.com. You can have it say whatever you want and place that above your table of goodies to tie in your theme. My friend is also super into the "urban homesteading" movement. She loves making things from scratch, jarring he own jams, making her own pickles, etc. etc. She makes her own marshmallows! How cute are the pink, chocolate-dipped mallows above? You can skewer them with lollipop sticks (available at craft stores) and shove them in Styrofoam (wrapped in fabric of course) for display. You can also display different chocolates, candies, lollipops, macaroons, and cakes on pretty trays and in apothecary jars and set them out on the table. In keeping with the urban homestead theme, I love the idea displayed on the board as the "cowgirl cookies." The idea behind this was to take some of the main dry ingredients for your favorite cookie and layer them in a decorative jar to hand out as favors. How ingenious!
Lastly, no party can be complete without a little personal touch. My momma-to-be has a friend in California who opened her own cookie business. I'm just wild about the precision and detail work in these cookies! My friend is crazy about the pink onsie cookies to the left. Maybe Sabrina's Sweetery can make some pink monkeys for the shower! Hopefully she'll ship out of state!
That's about it for baby shower time! Back on to weddings next time!
In the meantime, if any of you have some pictures from a great party you threw or attended…I want to know! I'd love to showcase it! Email me at email@example.com. Party on!

LOVE THIS!! I think my favorite element is the little onsie cookies. So flippin cute. Along those lines, I once went to a shower where they had a little station where all the guests decorated white bibs and onsies (in different sizes) using fabric markers. It was a fun activity and the guys even got into it. Whenever I see the baby she seems to be wearing either one of the onsies or a bib.
This was the same shower where someone asked me how far along I was (I was not pregnant) , but that's another story…..

September 6, 2004
Albany-- Monday the river flowed quickly pasted the Radium Springs Golf course, which often suffers minor flooding in heavy rains. But, just how high the water will go is still a guess game depending on how much rain we get.
"We're hoping the six or seven inches of rain that is predicted will be spread out over a 24 hour period. If not, we would need some sandbags," said Albany Public Works Director Phil Roberson.
And public works crews are packed sandbags today. In Lee County, Georgia Power lowered the Kinchafoonee Creek about two feet to stop flooding there. The creek at Leesburg is predicted to rise one foot above the flood stage by Wednesday.
We want to stress no major flooding is expected, but that could change if Frances stalls out over Georgia. Emergency officials don't expect any evacuations because flooding.

DepressionBefore the Great Depression of the 1930s any downturn in economic activity was referred to as a depression. The term recession was developed in this period to differentiate periods like the 1930s from smaller economic declines that occurred in 1910 and 1913. This leads to the simple definition of a depression as a recession that lasts longer and has a larger decline in business activity.
The DifferenceSo how can we tell the difference between a recession and a depression? A good rule of thumb for determining the difference between a recession and a depression is to look at the changes in GNP. A depression is any economic downturn where real GDP declines by more than 10 percent. A recession is an economic downturn that is less severe.
By this yardstick, the last depression in the United States was from May 1937 to June 1938, where real GDP declined by 18.2 percent. If we use this method then the Great Depression of the 1930s can be seen as two separate events: an incredibly severe depression lasting from August 1929 to March 1933 where real GDP declined by almost 33 percent, a period of recovery, then another less severe depression of 1937-38. The United States hasn't had anything even close to a depression in the post-war period. The worst recession in the last 60 years was from November 1973 to March 1975, where real GDP fell by 4.9 percent. Countries such as Finland and Indonesia have suffered depressions in recent memory using this definition.
Now you should be able to determine the difference between a recession and a depression without resorting to the poor humor of the dismal scientists.

Volunteers received new crime fighting tools Monday morning. They will use two new cars to monitor and patrol their community.
Police Chief A.C. Roper and Birmingham Mayor William Bell both say the cars will be useful in combating crime. People can expect to see the vehicles on the road by the end of the month.
The Citizens on Patrol program has been so successful, Bell wants to see it become a city-wide initiative.

Has some one created EVDRE using multiple appset?
Does EVDRE work with multiple appset? Or how the multiple appset data can be combined for single reporting such as plan , actual comparison?
Appreciate input.
Hi Sridevi,
an evdre can use just one application (specified as parameter), to work with several applications on the same report you must use several evdre, where each evdre work with a specific application.
The evdre function don't have appset as parameter, so it's impossible to work with different appset even with different evdre.
So you can create a report/inp. sched. that reads and send data on different application but not a report/inp. sched. that use more than one appset.
Kind regards
Hi Sridevi,
The EVDRE templates cannot access data from multiple appsets. The data cannot be shared within different appsets. An EVDRE can fetch data from different applications within the same appset. However, you will need separate EVDRE functions to fetch data from different applications.
Hope this helps.

Hey there Brewers fans,
My friend and I are die-hard Ryan Braun fans and we are making every effort to officially deem him The King of Swagger. We have launched what we hope will become his official website: www.kingofswagger.com
We think Braun's most intriguing characteristic is his unwavering self-confidence -- his swagger. Aside from his immense talent, we think his invincible mindset is the reason he's enjoyed so much success in his young career. Having the kind of impregnable self-confidence Braun exhibits is a characteristic everyone can benefit from; kingofswagger.com will try to spread the swagger of Braun to each of its visitors.
Check out the site when you get a chance; we update it every day. If you guys have any ideas for the site, shoot us an email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Have a happy day

I take photos of cafe food. Because I have a coffee blog. I guess that makes me a hipster. But most of the time I don't want to see photos of your food on Instagram. Unless you're somewhere really cool. Here's POHTPOF
I take photos of cafe food. Because I have a coffee blog. I guess that makes me a hipster. But most of the time I don't want to see photos of your food on Instagram. Unless you're somewhere really cool. Here's POHTPOF
Faux-spiritual fauxtivation is the new black on Instagram. I've always fancied myself a hallmarkesque writer of vaguely convincing half truths – and lets face it, that's what passes for truth these days. So I've launched an experiment that is part seeing how gullible the internet is, part fun, part outlet for my cynicism.
Will you join me? Will you be #benspired?
You can get your regular dose of #benspiration, or contribute, at the Facebook page, the instagram hashtag #benspiration, or you can follow @benspiration on instagram.
When I get sick of it I'll do a bit of a breakdown on what sort of pictures and quotes were the most popular and what that says about the instagram generation. Maybe. Or maybe I'll be so benspired I'll start believing the hype.
Here's mine. What's yours?
There's a bit of a rebuke in here for me… and my countless photos of Soph and coffee – but in my defence I use the coffee ones for my blog, and the Soph ones for the sake of having cool filtered photos of her on my computer. Maybe I should have an account just dedicated to those purposes…
There's a bit of a swear word here. So block your ears if that offends.
Do you instagram? How do you instagram?
So I've been absent from blogworld for a few days. What'd I miss?
In the real world our little family were taking our first family holiday – we had been planning to go to the Gold Coast hinterlands, right up until the car was packed, and I was printing out our wotif booking. Only to discover that some idiot had booked the accommodation for the wrong weekend. After a mad scramble around the interwebs we booked three nights in Stanthorpe at the Sommerville Valley Resort.
Soph was a bit excited en route.
Here's the view from the balcony.
Here's the view from the lounge room.
We saw the pyramids. Well, a slightly lamer Australian version…
Went to a fun jam shop where Soph charmed the storekeepers. Which was lucky.
Soph, in turn, was charmed by an ornamental peacock in our room. She couldn't get enough of it.
We added a bit to the trip with a Tour De France style experience on the way home.
And now, the craziness of college begins for another semester.
Instagram was down yesterday. Along with a bunch of other bits of the internet that are hosted on Amazon's servers.
I like Instagram (my username is nmcampbell and you can check out my profile using the nifty webstagram service), it's almost exclusively my camera app of choice for cafe reviews on thebeanstalker.com. I take a lot of photos of Soph, and a lot of photos of food. So now, when I read this McSweeney's "Open Letter to people who take pictures of food on Instagram" I feel a bit bad.
"You proceed to take various angled shots of the avocado being sliced, the blueberries getting washed, and your bearded boyfriend plucking feathers from the partridges because the Farmer's Market only sold them with feathers, because plucking out the feathers themselves would be too mean and they're the nice kind of farmers who kill with love. And now that your meal looks professional and Alexandra Gaurnaschelli would approve of it (but Scott Conant would totally get the one piece of undercooked bird) there is a great final product shot taken, complete with two Coronas because you were feeling summery."
That's me. Here are some instagram photos of our dinners last week.
Guilty as charged.
Mastergram takes properly artistic "masterpiece" photos and treats them with Instagram filters.
So this…
Becomes this…
I love instagram. It's possibly my most used iPhone app. Almost all of my cafe reviews on thebeanstalker.com use it. And why not.
But one of the downsides of instagram is its lack of web presence. You don't get a profile, you have to have the link for each photo you've uploaded from wherever you've uploaded it to (be it Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr, etc) to get to the photo's native location on the instagram server.
Instagram is rumoured to be working on a nice web interface. It's coming. So they say. But in the meantime check out this neat little 3rd party service called webstagram. All you need is the person's username and you've got a nice little instagram profile.
We spent the weekend helping out on the farm. For those who missed it – my in-laws are on a property outside Dalby that flooded twice in the last month. The flood destroyed a crop – and a bunch of stuff that was kept in storage around the place, some electrical bits and pieces in the sheds, but mercifully spared one crop and the house.
The crop that didn't fare so well presented a problem – it doesn't really have any value, and is now in the way. The good side of the flooding is that all the soil on the farm has a full water profile (which means it's wet to about ten inches or something and great for growing stuff). Farmers these days like to plant on top of the stubble of the old harvest because that provides nutrients for the new crop. To cut a long story short – the decision was made to burn the old crop (which actually didn't go so well – it didn't want to burn) before it turned out that it was actually fairly easy to take the planter through the ruined canary, planting new stuff over the top of it. The canary should shed its seeds on the field – which will then grow next winter…
Our biggest job while we were there was moving the massive centre pivot irrigator from one field to another.
Rubbernecking sounds like the kind of thing hormonal teenagers do in the back of the school bus. But no. Rubbernecking (verb) is the act of taking a squiz at something. In Brisbane, it's the verb used to describe going flood spotting. Something the police and the Premier are eager for us not to do.
But we did.
Yesterday we had a little drive into Brisbane's CBD. Here are the Instagram results.
Floating bins in the driveway of 111 Eagle St – a new development
Some fellow rubberneckers – beyond the police tape
A view of the Storey Bridge
One of the jetties at the Eagle Street Pier, the arch is the top of the pedestrian access gate
Sandbags on Queen Street
Creek Street as a Creek
Down the River from the Eagle Street Pier
I like this app a lot.
The Go-Between Bridge from the Library window
Boats doing their thing on the river
I took a walk down to the pontoon on the way home.
The walkway is pretty covered
It started getting a bit foggy
I managed to get the train home
And I reckon this sign was a little redundant
At the moment I'm sitting on level five of a building in Southbank, overlooking the river. I'm watching a truck out the window, across the river, on the Riverside Expressway. It's crawling. The same truck has been in about the same spot for the last fifteen minutes.
I'm also playing with Instagram – an iPhone photo app that I like.
And delving into the Twitter hash tag world for the first time.
These floods are amazing – and weeks of watching the rest of Queensland go underwater have instilled an odd panic in lots of people. The office is pretty bare. Lots of people have left. Rumours are flying (thanks to Sky News) about the impending closure of Brisbane's public transport system. Nobody is quite sure whether or not that's happening. Us marketers/PR people are a hardy bunch, and will no doubt be the last out of the doors.
Yesterday my sister-in-law who lives in Toowoomba walked into a shop just before the inland tsunami swept cars and utes around the streets like an over-zealous street cleaner.
My parents-in-law are bracing for a second round of flooding on their farm outside Dalby. It'll probably go higher than the last one – and doubtless do more damage.
These floods are crazy. Crazy.

It is hard not to associate your IBS symptoms with the foods that you eat. Many IBS sufferers wonder whether a food allergy may be the problem. The following information about food allergies and IBS may help you figure out what is going wrong and what you can do about it.
What is a food allergy?
A person is considered to have a food allergy when their immune system reacts to a food substance that is normally considered harmless. This immune response triggers the release of chemicals that cause a variety of symptoms. Some of these symptoms may be gastrointestinal in nature, including vomiting, diarrhea and/or abdominal pain. It is also possible that the person will experience symptoms more commonly associated with allergies, such as hives, itching, swelling of the lips, tightness in the throat, and difficulty breathing.
What is the relationship between food allergies and IBS?
Traditionally, true food allergies have been considered to be rare. However, some research suggests that reactions to certain foods may account for some IBS symptoms. More importantly, the studies suggest that by eliminating exposure to those foods, IBS symptoms will diminish. A major criticism of this research may be made in that food allergies were diagnosed in study participants based on the presence of a substance in their blood called Immunologlobulin G (IgG). IgGs are antibodies produced by the immune system to fight infection, but are not considered reliable for the purpose of diagnosing food allergies. Since the studies did show a reduction of symptoms through the use of an elimination diet, it is still worth taking a look:
- The most common foods identified as being problematic were milk, eggs, wheat, beef, pork, and lamb.
- Elimination diets resulted in a reduction of overall IBS symptoms, frequency of pain, and abdominal bloating.
- Elimination diets resulted in an improvement in quality of life, sense of control over IBS, and improved functioning of the rectum.
- Most patients showed a good ability to stick with the restricted diet.
- Patients who demonstrated better compliance to the restricted diet experienced the greater amount of improvement.
- Cheating on the diet resulted in a worsening of symptoms.
One study sought to try to discriminate among organic GI disorders, IBS and food allergies based on the symptom picture. Results indicated that IBS is more likely to involve straining, diarrhea and abdominal bloating than organic disease. Organic disease is more likely to involve loss of appetite and upper abdominal reflux difficulties. When symptoms in IBS patients were compared to those in patients with food allergies, IBS was more likely to manifest itself as pain in the lower abdomen, pain relieved by having a bowel movement, more frequent pain, and abdominal bloating.
How do you know if you have a food allergy or intolerance?
There are a variety of diagnostic tests that your doctor may recommend to determine if you have a food allergy. It is also helpful to keep a food diary to look to see if there are any patterns in terms of what you eat and the symptoms you experience. Once a food is identified as a potential allergen, an elimination diet is used to assess whether or not symptoms decrease in the absence of that particular food. If symptoms don't improve, you can slowly re-introduce the food to your diet.

Kailyn Lowry
Full name: Kailyn Lowry
Nickname: Kail
Hometown: Nazareth, Pennsylvania
Children: Isaac ("Izzy")
Baby daddy: Ex-boyfriend Jonathan "Jo" Rivera
Twitter: @KailLowry
Kailyn Lowry, a one-time high school lacrosse player who dreams of becoming a dental hygienist, is the serious and stoic teen mom of baby Isaac. After her boyfriend Jo knocked her up, Kailyn tried to hide her pregnancy from her friends and family... but it didn't take long for the secret to leak. Frequent battles with her mother left her with no place to go, so the baby daddy's family took Kailyn in and supported her throughout her pregnancy.
Kailyn and Jo didn't make it through the stress of new parenthood, so Kailyn eventually moved back in with her unsupportive mother. To stay as independent as possible, Kailyn juggles two part-time jobs and a full course load at the community college.
Nowadays, Kailyn and Jo now share custody of Isaac. Kailyn lives with her husband, Javi Marroquin, who's in the Air Force. They married in a small courthouse ceremony in late 2012, and are planning a traditional wedding for September 2013.

The city of Rock Island is closer to getting its new police station.
The current police station is more than 70 years old and can only provide half the space the department said it needs.
The city council made progress in two areas last night toward making the new station a reality.
It officially bought the land for $730,000 where the new station will be built.
It also awarded a $1.1 million contract to an architect who said he should have a rough sketch of what the building could look like within 90 days. "
It's nice to see progress being made," Police Chief Jeff VenHuizen said. "This is actual tangible results that we can see now and it means a lot to the citizens of Rock Island. Not only will they have a modern facility, but one that's better equipped to deal with the problems the city faces."
In all, the city council estimates this will be a more than $16 million project. It plans on paying for it through the city's gaming fund and bonds.

Downtown Los Angeles
FriendsWithYou's fantasy factory is tucked quietly away in DTLA, right down the street from us. They're super neighborly neighbors.
They'll help to take things way-out tonight at Summer on 7th's rooftop party — also just down the way — with a bunch of other friendlies.
Grand Park's being commandeered by the Renegade Craft Fair this weekend — the nomadic national bazaar that jumbles up a frankly hedonistic number of makers and doers for a swap meet of epic proportions. They're gonna bleed you dry and you're gonna thank them for it.
Downtown LA
The late, great Mike Kelley may have entered our world in the Midwest, but he was truly a child of Los Angeles. Featuring over 200 pieces, the broad, eponymous retrospective of Kelley's work that's been touring over the last year finally comes home this week — filling the whole of the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA with filthy felt beginning tomorrow through July 28.
"Love Me Like I'm Not Made Of Stone," from Lykke Li's forthcoming I Never Learn.
Tickets for Lykke's May 19 show at The Theatre at Ace Hotel, sponsored by Martin Guitar, go on sale tomorrow morning at 10am PST.
Downtown Los Angeles, California
The second edition of Printed Matter's LA Art Book Fair kicked off last night in The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA as the fledgling of the famed NY Art Book Fair.
Over 250 international outfits are taking part in the assembly, and the range of offerings is highly impressive. Everything is egalitarian, sharply presented and extremely tempting.
Hometown heroes Ooga Booga, KesselsKramer, and Arcana — who are making waves on the international scene — are paired with their out-of-town peers, simultaneously repping their work and acting as ambassadors.
The fair is going on until Sunday and is free to enter and enjoy, thanks to the selfless contributions of many. For more information and for the full schedule for screenings, panels, lectures and special events visit laartbookfair.net.
On January 29, we are helping to welcome art critic, essayist and academic provocateur Dave Hickey, who'll be celebrating the release of his new collect Pirates and Farmers with a talk and book signing at Grand Central Market in Downtown Los Angeles.
Dave Hickey's decades-spanning career as a cultural commentator playfully straddles the barriers between high and mass art, music and celebrity culture — a sly irreverence that's won him a fair share of both favor and controversy, not to mention a MacArthur Fellowship.

A show we've anticipated for quite some time opened nearby our new house lately. We found ourselves there with an old friend, Brian who wrote about his time there and shared it with us to share with you. How nice.
Last Thursday was the opening of "The Mothership, In Our Details are the Maps of Existence" at Dilettante in Downtown Los Angeles. I don't have a nice camera, so I used the 10-megapixel Nikon Coolpix L20 I bought as a throw-away on a trip to Prague in 2010. According to the official description, "The Mothership is a vessel that guides and carries smaller vessels … a symbol of the collective conscience form, which we, as individuals, draw creativity and inspiration from." The show, which features work from a selection of female artists, is intended as a celebration of that vessel.
A giant spider made of Swarovski Crystals greets us just inside the door. This is Eye Walker by Amanda Charchian. I ask Amanda what her piece is about, and she sighs, then responds "It's based on a Native American myth about the eye walker. It's about magic. Good magic — white magic. Sympathetic magic." When I ask Amanda if she got frustrated stringing together all the little crystals, she stares, deadpan. "No. It's a meditative process."
Next to the spider, a bunch of glitter-coated knives are stuck into the wall. This isGiving in to All My Best Qualities by Lola Rose Thompson. Lola and Amanda went to Otis around the same time; they are good friends.
Lola steals my camera to take a picture of Amanda with the glittery knives. Lola is not pictured, but she is also very good-looking.
I run into my friend Shane who tells me that "The stuff upstairs is really dope," so we go upstairs. The stuff up there is really dope.
From the balcony, I see this dude examining the piece on the floor. I go downstairs to talk to him. His name is Jack. I ask Jack about his feelings on the piece. Jack thinks for a moment and replies, "It made me feel like a jazz riff. It's a dancey piece, like a bunch of movement on the floor." The piece is called Jazz Riff #1 by Lita Albuquerque.
This is Single Camera by Alia Shawkat. Alia says it was inspired by "a really bad audition I had one time. This guy," she points to the man painted red in the upper right corner, "he hated me. He was a producer. And this woman over here is a producer, that's why she's holding 'CONTENT'."
Artist and event organizer Carly Jo Morgan stressed that she did not curate by selecting specific works. "I picked women who inspire me, gave out the theme, and let them go." Carly is herself currently a mothership.
I find Jacqueline Suskin of the Poem Store. You have seen her in the galleries and farmers' markets of Los Angeles. On the wall behind her is her piece The Poet & The Timber Baron. I ask Jacqueline to write a poem about this show. Here is what she wrote:
The Theatre at Ace Dtla will be embarking on its maiden voyage February 14 with Spiritualized at the helm — performing their landmark album Ladies and Gentlemen We are Floating in Space live with full orchestra and gospel choir.
If you missed out on the band's sold out two-night stand, you might still be in luck: nonprofit Los Angeles Conservancy — devoted to preserving the great historic places of Los Angeles — is giving away a pair of tickets to the show on February 14, along with a room at Ace, for a flawless Valentine's Day, Los Angeles style.

Neon signs, since 1935. Thanks to Biola University for sharing.
With a common commitment to the revitalization of Downtown Los Angeles' artistic and cultural vitality, we're very excited to announce that we've joined forces with our friends at L.A. Dance Project. We're so pleased to welcome such a passionate and inspiring team into our beloved Theater — a magical space we feel fits hand in glove with the company's world-renowned artistry. It's a match made in heaven.
On February 20, 21 and 22, the collective — founded by renowned choreographer and dancer Benjamin Millepied, along with founding producer Charles Fabius, composers Nico Muhly and Nicholas Britell and art consultant Matthieu Humery — will perform three works at The Theatre at Ace Hotel. The program includes U.S. premieres of Reflections choreographed by Benjamin Millepied with music by David Lang and visual concepts by Barbara Kruger, and Murder Ballads by Justin Peck with music by Bryce Dessner of The National and visual concepts by Sterling Ruby. These two works will be paired with an exclusive sneak-peek of a new piece by Hiroaki Umeda, in preparation for its upcoming premiere in Paris in March 2014.
We cannot wait to see it, and all that's sure to come.
Pre-sale tickets for L.A. Dance Project's residency at The Theatre at Ace Hotel will be available to Ace's A-list mailing list subscribers on Wednesday, January 15th, with sales to the public beginning on Thursday, January 16th. More information and tickets can be found at acehotel.com/theatre.

A corrections officer at the Lucas County Jail is now behind bars herself.
Michelle Vining, 31, was arrested Saturday afternoon. She's accused of trying to smuggle drugs into the jail.
Lucas County Sheriff Jon Tharp says her arrest follows a three-week investigation. Tharp says, at the time of her arrest, Vining was heading to work with marijuana and prescription drugs.
"It is unfortunate to see that happen to one of our own, but we have taken oath to enforce the law, abide by the Constitution of the United States, and we will do that," Tharp says. "Law enforcement people and corrections officers certainly are not above the law, and we just can't tolerate this."
Vining faces three felony charges. The sheriff says she's been relieved of duty.
A court date has not yet been set.

Five postgraduate basketball teams ranked in the top 10 nationally — as well at least seven ACC signees — will be in Waynesboro on Thursday-Saturday to participate in the Best Western Plus Caisson Shootout."Fans will see some very, very high level basketball," said Fishburne postgrad coach Ed Huckaby, whose Caisson squad enters the tournament ranked sixth nationally. "Five of the top 10 teams in the country will be here. ESPNU will be there all three days. There will be very good players, coaches and programs. At the postgrad level, it's the equivalent of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. There are some very good teams here."
Massanutten Military Academy comes in ranked No. 1 in the nation, and the team features 6-foot point guard Frank Mason, who has committed to Kansas.
