Scaling 'The Tree of Ben' / Successfully Scaled (or at least well into the lower boughs)
Remembering where Ben started, (click here) this is his first drawing at Los Gázquez, a view back to the cortijada. This is a stab at a more academic drawing, each element carefully measured and calculated, constantly cross referencing points. He found it a nightmare but I think he did pretty well.
However that afternoon…
he found a medium he really enjoyed, charcoal. It gave him a freedom he had not previously considered. It's malleability allows you to cover mistakes rapidly and move at speed. For the rest of the day we carried on with charcoal making different drawings around the building, getting into the medium.
The next day I thought it good to do specific exercises appropriate to charcoal. Now, it's a seldom considered manifestation of the brain to conceive objects via their perimeters. This usually expresses itself with us drawing a series of lines. However, what defines an object is in reality not the perimeter edges our cognitive skills perceive, but the fall of light, creating shade. So the next morning we worked on two pieces of paper, set up parallel to each other, the view point slightly different, and worked one from dark to light and the other from light to dark. To do this, one of the pieces of paper was completely blacked out with charcoal requiring Ben to draw solely with the putty rubber, considering just the fall of light and working in areas rather than lines. On the second piece of paper I only allowed Ben to apply charcoal with his fingers and only put in the shade. I think the results speak for themselves…
I love this last drawing, it says so much about the light and the hot sun here. It also reminds me of a Morandi drawing and in my opinion is a great success.
Building on the rapid improvement in Ben's work I thought the afternoon should see us giving him an even bigger challenge. I took him half way up the mountain at the back of Los Gázquez to draw the view below, La Hoya de Carrascal.
This is a very different composition, full of detail and texture. More importantly it required gesture and rhythm to make it come alive, a mixture of consideration and energy applied simultaneously. I think he did terrifically well.
I would say, considering the speed in which Ben picked up on what I was telling him, that he immediately understood and employed my suggestions and how he was free of any baggage of resistance he will be and indeed is a good artist. All he needs is to loosen up and be free with his drawing and he will be away. It was a great pleasure in having Ben and his family here at Los Gázquez. I hope it can happen again soon.

Twenty-one people have been killed in Mexico following a gun battle between suspected rival drug gangs near the US border.
Prosecutors in northern Sonora state say the fighting occurred on Thursday in a sparsely populated area about 20km from the US border.
The state attorney-general's office said in a statement that nine people were captured by police at the scene of the shootings, six of whom had been wounded in the confrontation.
Authorities at the scene found seven rifles.
Officials did not say why the gunfight had broken out, but powerful and well-armed Mexican gangs often fight for control of smuggling routes into the United States.
Prosecutor killed
In a city on another part of the US border, armed men killed an assistant attorney general for Chihuahua state and one of her bodyguards.
After being reportedly chased by armed men through the darkened streets ofCiudad Juarez, the vehicle carrying Sandra Salas Garcia and two bodyguards was riddled with bullets on Wednesday night.
Arturo Sandoval, a spokesman for the attorney-general's office, said the second bodyguard was seriously wounded.
Al Jazeera's Mariana Sanchez, reporting from Mexico City, said Salas was working for a special investigations unit which dealt with issues related to drugs in that state.
"We are seeing more and more officials getting attacked by the drug cartels. It is a way of sending a message that they don't want to be challenged."
Poll connection
Mexican authorities are on high alert since the assassination of Rodolpho Torre, a leading candidate for governor in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas, on Monday.
Felipe Calderon, the Mexican president, said the ambush was carried out by drug cartels looking to sway the vote which takes place in 12 states on Sunday.
On Thursday, unidentified men left a severed head outside the house of HectorMurgia, the favourite for mayor of Ciudad Juarez, who is running for Mexico's main opposition Institutional Revolutionary Party [PRI].
Across the country, hundreds have been killed as the drug war increases in intensity.
At least 23,000 people, mainly traffickers and police, have been killed in drug-related violence since Calderon launched an army-led offensive against drug gangs after taking office in December 2006.

John Adams: new CD of Son of Chamber Symphony & String Quartet(June 2011)
The latest John Adams release on the Nonesuch label features Son of Chamber Symphony and his recent String Quartet.
Two of John Adams's most recent works, Son of Chamber Symphony and String Quartet, have just been released on a new Nonesuch disc featuring the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) conducted by the composer and the St Lawrence String Quartet (7559 798 008).
> Buy the CD from our Online Shop
Son of Chamber Symphony has received 70 performances since its premiere in 2007, following in the footsteps of the first Chamber Symphony as one of Adams's most programmed works. Set in three movements, the first pays tribute to the dancing energy of Beethoven's scherzos, while the second pits elegiac hypermelodies against strumming accompaniments. The finale was described by the Los Angeles Times at its premiere as "one of those Adams bucking-bronco blastoffs, riveting and full of surprises".
The St Lawrence String Quartet has toured Adams's String Quartet extensively since its premiere two years ago, with over 40 performances on three continents. This is the composer's second full-length work for string quartet, but whereas John's Book of Alleged Dances also employed recorded samples, the newer quartet is for the classic acoustic line-up. The Guardian described how "it is the constant trade between the machine-like aspect and the fragile sparks of something more human that elevate the music and its players".
As well as further tours of the String Quartet, the St Lawrence players feature in the world premiere next season of Absolute Jest, a new Adams work for quartet and orchestra commissioned by the San Francisco Symphony for its Centennial Season and by Carnegie Hall. The first performance in San Francisco is conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas on 15 March 2012 as part of the American Mavericks festival. The new work then tours with the San Francisco Symphony to Chicago, Ann Arbor and New York and performances are planned by European orchestras including the London Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican in the 2012/13 season.

Easy to put together and looks gorgeous -- as if it were right off the showroom floor.
I wanted this item for awhile. I was extremely disappointed when I finally received it. The holes were not lined up and if it were not for my talented nephew (who can fix anything) I never would have gotten the thing together. Looks much cheaper than it actually cost. It fit the space I needed to fill exactly and I filled it with books, so I am keeping it. But I would not recommend it to anyone else. Someone else had obviously purchased it before me and I received their reject. The package was wrapped so badly that it was laughable.
I bought it because I thought it would fit perfectly in my hallway. However none of the pre-drilled holes were in the correct location to put the screws in. My husband finally got the screws to fit somewhat, then added the shelves. The supports for the shelves were unevenly placed and the shelves were all crooked. The overall product was a very poor quality for the price and is not useable. I am trying to send it back, but no one has returned my e-mail. Very frustrating. I have bought several items in the past with great quality. I will not likely order again from this catalog
the ends were not drilled correctly- unable to assemble very over priced for a China made piece
It is great, We were looking for a long time. The perfect piece for the space.

Utah Monitor of 'Cold Fusion' Casts Doubt on Its Validity
The New York Times
March 29, 1990
A physicist at the University of Utah says a highly publicized ''cold fusion'' experiment at the school failed to produce any evidence of a nuclear reaction when he monitored it.
The scientist, Michael H. Salamon, said last fall that he had been unable to find gamma rays when he monitored the experiment last May and June in the laboratory of Dr. B. Stanley Pons, a chemist at the unversity. Dr. Salamon gave details of his measurements in a paper being published today in the British journal Nature.
''We did not see a peep,'' said Dr. Salamon, who measured the nuclear output of cold fusion gear for five weeks. ''There was not an iota, not a sniff, of conventional fusion occurring,'' he said. ''We saw no neutrons or gamma rays that could be attributed to a fusion process.''
His findings appear to be another blow to the already widely questioned announcement last March by Dr. Pons and Dr. Martin Fleischmann of the University of Southampton in England that they had achieved nuclear fusion at room temperature in a jar of water. The report raised hopes of a revolutionary new source of energy from nuclear fusion, which powers the sun.
''It's another nail in the coffin,'' said Ronald Parker, director of the plasma fusion center at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. ''They did a very careful search for fusion effects and they came up empty.''
In Salt Lake City yesterday, Dr. Pons said most of the allegations in the paper were not true.
Dr. Pons said the physicists had ignored energy cells that were producing large amounts of heat and instead had monitored cells that were making only low amounts. He also said the monitoring equipment had been placed at an angle and had missed evidence of nuclear activity.
''They were embarrassed that a chemist had fallen into a nuclear reaction so simply,'' Dr. Pons said. ''Their outside colleagues were putting tremendous pressure on them.''
Dr. Pons also accused Nature of trying to undermine his work by publishing negative studies while ignoring supporting evidence.
Fritz G. Will, director of the state-financed National Cold Fusion Institute at the University of Utah, said small changes in experimental conditions, including humidity, could affect whether or not Dr. Pons's fusion cells produce heat. At the time Dr. Salamon checked for signs of fusion, Dr. Will said, ''experimental conditions prevailing in those experiments were not suitable to finding the phenomenon.''

How to Budget Your Money
Five Parts:Budgeting HelpTracking Your Income and ExpensesCreating Your BudgetBecoming a Budget ProMaking Your Budget Go Further
A budget is like a bra. It feels weird the first couple times, but once you get used to it, you're glad it's there. (Fellas, think "jock-strap.") In fact, a budget can help you crush your outstanding debt, get ahold of your financial future, and even make you a happier person in the process. And best of all, setting up a budget is really not that hard. It's important to get on that path to financial freedom.
Part 1 of 4: Tracking Your Income and Expenses
1Determine your overall income. Are you on a fixed salary where you know for certain how much you're taking home each week? Are you a freelancer whose salary varies each month? Having a rough idea of how much money you can expect to earn is key in creating a successful budget.
- If you are an independent contractor or freelancer, understand that what you bring home is not the same thing as what you earn. For example, you may bring home $2,500 every month, but that's pre-tax. Figure out how much you're likely to need to pay in taxes and subtract that from your monthly income to arrive at a more accurate number.
- If you are a salaried employee, don't factor in a possible tax refund into your overall income. Your monthly income should reflect only what you bring home after taxes. If you do get a tax refund, you'll get to do with it as you please; if you don't, you won't be screwed.
2Identify how you're spending money. What are the bills that you have to pay every month? Do you go out to dinner with friends every Friday night or go to the movies once a week? Looking at where your money is going will give you a better handle on tracking it. There are free Internet tools to help you tracking your money
- Break down what you're spending into categories. This will make it easier for you to see where your money is going. Often, this simple breakdown is enough to start changing habits, especially if you didn't fully know how much of your hard-earned money was going toward, say, booze or football memorabilia. Some categories you might use include:
- Home (mortgage, upkeep, insurance)
- Auto (loan, maintenance, insurance)
- Food (groceries vs. restaurant purchases)
- Utilities (Gas, electric, water)
- Health and fitness (medical, gym membership, grooming)
- Travel and vacation
- Personal (entertainment, shopping, clothes)
- Savings
- Break down what you're spending into categories. This will make it easier for you to see where your money is going. Often, this simple breakdown is enough to start changing habits, especially if you didn't fully know how much of your hard-earned money was going toward, say, booze or football memorabilia. Some categories you might use include:
3Compare your regular expenses with your paycheck amount. Do you get a negative number? If so, you are living way beyond your means. If you have money leftover, split that money up into a few groups:
- Flex money. This should be about 10-20% of your paycheck, set aside for regular expenses like that fender bender you accidentally got into staring at a pretty lady while stuck in traffic. If something you need to pay for turns out to be slightly more expensive than anticipated, your flex will have things covered.
- Savings. In an ideal world, you might save about 30% of your paycheck. In the real world, you should shoot to save about 10%, however big or small your paycheck is.[1][2] Build up enough savings for an emergency fund (about 4-6 times your regular expenses), then start saving money to invest.
- Spending money. This is whatever is leftover after you subtract flex money and savings money. It's what you'd spend on things like clothes, eating out or other fun activities. If you start to cry when you realize how little fun money you have, then you may need to learn how to lower your expenses.
Part 2 of 4: Creating Your Budget
1Set budget and financial goals. These should be short-term and long-term. It often helps to have something to be working towards to help stay on track with your budget. For example, if you want to save for a house, it helps to have that goal on your radar.
- Short-term goals include not spending more than a certain amount of money every month or saving a few hundred dollars every month. Short-term goals are often easier to reach than long-term goals.
- Long-term goals include being able to put down a mortgage payment on a home or a car, or begin meaningfully preparing for retirement. Because the fruits of our labor aren't seen immediately — they're often not seen for decades, in fact — long-term goals can be extremely hard to budget.
2Make a list of what's absolutely essential that you pay for. These include essentials like rent or mortgage, electricity and heat, food and diapers, for example. Add all these items up and see how much of your monthly income is left after you account for the bare necessities.
- If the bulk of your income is taken up by necessities, don't worry. There are always ways to tighten your belt, and also ways to make more money. The important thing is making a budget and sticking to it; this feat alone will help you start to rise above your circumstances.
- If you have some wiggle-room after accounting for your essentials, that's great news. Not everyone has that luxury. Begin thinking about how you're going to prioritize the rest of you discretionary spending.
3Begin budgeting out the rest of your discretionary spending. This part of your budget is all about identifying values. What values do you have and how do you want to spend your money to realize them? Money, after all, is a means to an end, not an end itself. Money are you going to use money to make it truly work for you?
- What sort of a person are you, and what do you like to do? The vast majority of people end up spending money on hobbies, interests, and callings. Think of this as investing. You put something in (money), and you get something out (satisfaction, experience, etc.).
- Think about what makes you really happy. Scientists are slowly beginning to understand that people who spend money on experiences are actually happier than people who spend money on possessions.[3] That's because charm of memories lasts a lot longer than the temporary charm of possessions, whose novelty wears off relatively soon.[4] Think about what experiences make you truly happy as you budget, and consider setting aside more money for travel and vacation than for material things.
4Use software to help you budget. Personal finance software is quickly becoming a new trend in finance. These programs have built-in budget making tools that can help customize your budget, along with analytics that help you project cash-flow into the future and better understand your spending habits. Personal finance software includes:
- Mint
- Quicken
- Microsoft Money
- AceMoney
- BudgetPulse
Part 3 of 4: Becoming a Budget Pro
1Don't go over budget. The first rule of budgeting, and pretty much the only one. It sounds fairly obvious, but it's easy to go over budget even when you have one in place. Be mindful of your spending habits and what your money is going towards.
2Keep a journal. In the early stages of keeping a budget, it might be helpful to keep a daily journal of your spending habits. Write out what you spend money on each day. It could be eye-opening to track some of your expenses. Keep an eye for repeated purchases which might be easily avoidable, like a trip to Starbucks for coffee every morning.
3Know the difference between luxuries and necessities. Determine what the have-to's in your budget are versus the want-to's. Make the necessities your highest priority in the budget and if there's money left over, indulge in things like going out or shopping.
- Reward yourself periodically, but never with a blowout. As mentioned earlier, money has to work for you, not the other way around. If you feel like a slave to your budget, or to money in general, you're not going to end up happy. So feel free to get that fro-yo once a month, or treat yourself to a lunch away from the kids every so often.
- At the same time, don't abuse your own rewards system to the point where it gets counterproductive. A gelato in a blue moon won't ever be a problem; but as soon as you reward yourself with big-ticket items, like $300 shoes, or a $2,000 mattress, your belt-tightening has just become a blowout. Kiss your budget goodbye.
4Reduce larger expenses. These are often the most unpleasant, but most effective ways to stay within a budget. If you take an annual vacation, consider staying home this year.
- Think about any "vices" you may have that are also pretty expensive. Cutting down on these is a good way to get more bang out of your buck and feel good about yourself while you're at it. If you smoke, look at ways you could quit. If you're a connoisseur of Courvoisier, consider cutting back.
5Leave your debit/credit card at home. When you're out for the night, it's very easy (and tempting) to leave your debit or credit card at the bar and ring up a tab. Don't! This is a very easy way to ring up a high bill that will set you way off budget.
- In fact, consider only spending cash and giving up your credit card altogether. Studies have shown that people who use cash instead of credit actually spend less money.[5][6] That's because people tend to feel the pain of parting with their money more when it's cash they spend; credit cards simply don't feel like cash, so your brain is more likely to justify the spending.
Part 4 of 4: Making Your Budget Go Further
1Cut your taxes. This usually means taking better advantage of itemized deductions when you file your taxes every year. Start keeping your receipts, especially if you're an independent contractor, and research ways get a better refund.
2Appeal your home assessment. If you're a homeowner and have sufficient evidence, you might be able to cut your real estate taxes by challenging the value that a home assessor puts on your property.
3Stay ahead of inflation. Over time, inflation raises the cost of living. A three percent rise in prices annually doubles the cost of everything within 24 years. If your income starts to rise, don't start spending it on luxuries until you've made sure that you can stay ahead of inflation.
4Don't count on windfalls. Don't factor in potential sources of revenue such as year-end bonuses or tax refunds. You only want to include guaranteed money into your budget.
5Take your money out for the week at once. If you only want to spend $250 each week, go to the ATM on Monday and take it all out then. Once you run out of the money for the week, that's it.Ad

|CunninghamTownship, MO, Nov 16, 2010
@@(November 16, 2010) In a Certificate of Recognition ceremony on November 16, 2010, Steven Gerrish, Area Specialist for USDA Rural Development announced the award of $105,000 to the Cunningham Township. Funds were used to purchase a new road grader and a used backhoe for the Cunningham Township, a service area of 260 residents. The assistance consists of a Community Facilities Disaster Grant of $105,000 for the new road grader and used backhoe. Additionally, the Cunningham Township provided $35,000 plus their used grader toward the total cost of the new road grader and used backhoe.
"With the help of competitive funds from the USDA, the Cunningham Township has been be able to purchase a new road grader and used backhoe for the township," U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill said. "The new equipment will provide improved resources to the Cunningham Township and help ensure that its roads are properly maintained."
"The Cunningham Township, in Chariton County, was able to upgrade to a new motor grader and purchase a used back hoe, because of the USDA Grant," said the Cunningham Township Board of Directors. "Cunningham Township equipment is updated with reliable equipment that will most likely last up to 15 to 20 years, without any major purchases."
"This is a great partnership effort when everyone works together for funding the purchase of a new road grader and used backhoe to help with the maintenance of roads, ditches, and culverts throughout the township," said Missouri State Director Janie Dunning. "This project mirrors USDA Rural Development's mission of being committed to the future of rural communities. I want to personally thank everyone that has worked together to make this project a reality. Special thanks are extended to our federal elected officials for making available the federal funds for these kinds of projects."

On Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo and the way the media shapes our understanding of professional athletes
This story isn't meant to be primarily about Ray Allen, though he will stand as the prominent example in an inner debate I'm having with regards to a media phenomenon.
My theory: Our views of athletes are distorted by the amount of time (and amount of friendliness with which) they speak to the media. Because Allen spent 15 minutes before every game holding court with reporters in a highly cordial manner, the theory goes, the media overreacts to his smiles and articulate nature and decides to paint him as a revered saint who wears a halo and regularly cures pre-pubescent children of diphtheria. His well-dressed image, early shot routine and well-contemplated musings on whatever topics were requested by the media became almost entirely how the media judged him. Digging deeper into Allen's moral fiber would have been difficult and perhaps even futile, so he was judged for his becoming disposition as much as Rajon Rondo was judged for his surly, one-word answers to reporters' questions. We are coming to learn recently that maybe we had both men misunderstood.
It's tough to dig up anecdotes — like Jackie MacMullan did in a 2008 Globe piece — that perhaps Allen was tough to deal with. Kevin Garnett called Allen "very strong-minded" and spoke about having lots of "debates" with him. MacMullan detailed a time when Allen and Garnett "got into it" while Kendrick Perkins and Rajon Rondo sat there thinking, "Whoa, what's this about?" Doc Rivers said Allen's mentality was the most difficult of the Big Three to change because, as someone with self-proclaimed OCD, he wanted to do things the way he always had in the past. Allen certainly wasn't the easiest teammate to deal with. According to MacMullan, he "harangue(d) Garnett about his sweater-and-tie combos, and the omnipresent Adidas logo on everything he wears" and "chastise(d) Eddie House for shooting halfcourt shots at intermission at the opposing team's basket."
Allen has always been described as a great family man, classy human and all-around nice guy. But why, then, was Garnett the only one to reach out to Allen during his free agency? Why did Keyon Dooling — who almost never says a bad word about anybody and seems more loyal to his friends than the world's best dog — sound so hostile when he followed saying "I love Ray" by noting that it sometimes seemed like Allen spent more time talking to the media than talking to his teammates? Why did Rondo have such disdain for Allen, and why did Allen have such problems with Rondo if all his other teammates now seem to love him? Allen's personality was certainly tough for teammates to handle. But is he also a politician whose facade masks some imperfections about which we don't know? Will we ever know one way or the other?
Similar questions operate inversely for Rondo. Why did we consider him so ornery for seven years when all of his teammates (with the exception of Allen) seem to love and respect him, at least now? Why did we consider him such a bad guy and difficult teammate when his best friend on the team (now that Perkins has left) is Garnett, who would despise Rondo if he were actually a bad guy and difficult teammate? Is it just because Rondo disliked talking to the media? Is it just because he did not like having 30 microphones shoved in his face and, win or lose, being forced to speak to a horde of people who might very well twist the meaning of his words?
The reasons for my theory are simple: If an athlete is happy and engaging with the press, members of the press are more likely to like him. And when members of the press like an athlete, their stories about him become complimentary. And when consumers read complimentary stories about an athlete, they begin to view the athlete as moral and good. The media shapes how the public views an athlete. This is fact.
I'm not saying Allen is a bad guy or Rondo's the next Mother Theresa. But to a certain extent, at least, we had these guys misjudged. And because we can't possibly get to know professional athletes fully, this won't be the last time we misunderstand the people we cheer for and worship.
10 Responses to "On Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo and the way the media shapes our understanding of professional athletes"
As much as I hate to admit it, the team got better without Ray Allen, as James is saying, he showed his true self and I'm sure he is regretting that decission. Boy, Jason Terry is a much better adition at this point, did you see him shoot the other night? 5 for 5 from beyond the ark, meanwhile Ray Allen has been struggling with his 3 point range, 1 for 7 and 0 for 5 the other nights.

I definitely agree, though I also think the media exacerbates the issue. To be honest, I didn't think there was much hate between Allen and Boston…watch his Miami press conference. He spent so much time talking nostalgically about Boston and how he wanted to remain part of the community. However, because the media continues to dig for quotes, occasional quotes like Keyon's "talks to media more than teammates" and KG's "don't have Ray's number" and Rondo's "number 20″ can be taken out of context. Players like Ray Allen don't sit on the computer all day long reading ESPN (or other beat writers) obsessively, so they only hear about these quotes when asked by reporters during press conferences. And of course, these reporters will only quote that one small portion–out of context–and thus hoping for some sort of comeback. It's also unlikely for players to go online and search for those articles to gain the full context of that quote.
So now you've got a constant back and forth bickering/harping that has resulted.
Have you noticed the change of tone Allen has expressed since his signing in July? It's really quite sad because he really did play a great role in the Boston community. Now, after hearing all these quotes from Boston (I think KG deleting his number was huge), he's decided to cut off ties to the city…and has decided to sell his house.
Look, I don't like that Ray signed with Miami, but I do think he felt that he wasn't respected as much as KG. I really don't think the amount of money, but more so the length of the contract, that was the deal breaker. He had consistently said that he wanted to play for 3 more years, yet Boston only offered him a 2 year contract. YET, everyone else was offered 3+ years: KG, JET, Bass, Green. I think he would have even taken lesser money for 3 years (15 million/3 years). But because Boston didn't offer such a contract, and because the Clippers pulled the offer after signing Crawford (I believe…), he really only had one contender that offered him a contract other than Boston…which was Miami. And it's just so much easier to go to a different team and sign a smaller deal than to constantly be the part of the big three to make the most sacrifices.
I really hope after all this basketball is done that the big three go back to being friends…and hopefully have their jerseys retired together. (I know…a lot of people think that Allen doesn't have a chance….though I hope the consensus is wrong…).
And i can't wait for Banner 18 to go up this year.
well that was a disorganized post…needed to just express some thoughts.

Well said…to be honest I can't stand these reactionary posters who revel in calling him simplistic names. It just just shows how shallow their thought processes are…it was a complex situation…instead of cheap name calling take the time and try to understand the situation…life isn't black and white…there are no good guys and bad guys…please guys get some gray matter…get some insight….no RA…no KG…no 2008 Finals Win or other thrilling playoffs…here's a guy who played with painful bones spurs….come on guys!

FYI…my thought process is anything but "shallow". I saw a guy, a Judas, turn his back on an organization that paid him very well, rescued him from Seattle, helped him win a title, and then he stabs his brothers in the back by joining their mortal enemy. Wake up len, there are good and bad guys and the more that comes to light it appears you are being blinded by what Judas did as a Celtic instead of what being a friend and 'brother-level' teammate turncoat he became. The Cs offered more money but more importantly 'family and a winning culture' that would have led to his jersey being in the rafters and Judas pissed all over it. Go Cs…

People are complex. The media took the cheap, easy way out in assessing both Allen and Rondo. This is what they typically do. In my experience, the best and most talented human beings are often not the most likeable or liked. Ray was selling an image and the media were buying.
I don't hate Allen. I don't know him. I'm sure he's as nice a person as the next guy. Maybe even he's an especially nice guy. But assessing him as an athlete is a different matter. What he did was vindictive and mean and cheap.

waking from sleep after 8.1 upgrade
I just bought a Lenovo U330 Touch which shipped with Windows 8. I upgraded to 8.1 and immediately things began to go wrong! Many drivers needed replacing but as they were well signposted it was a pain but not a disaster. What really hurt was the murder of the wake from sleep functionality. There is currently no way of waking the computer up from sleep mode other than a hard switch off and restart. Looking at the Lenovo web site, I can't afford to use their premium rate number for tech support!, it seems that I am not alone with this issue. I phoned Microsoft but after a tech remotely looked through my machine he gave up, promised to escalate the issue and said I would get a phone back within two hours. That has not happened so I assume Microsoft are as stumped as I am. I wonder if you can throw any light on this.

Have you tried...
Power troubleshooter; Open control panel, type "troubleshooter" in search box, click "troubleshooting".
Click on "improve power usage" under Sytem and Security.
It should look like this
You can also try this...
Copy and paste "powercfg -ENERGY", without the quotes, into an elevated command prompt.
It'll take a few minutes to run. Note where the html report file is located.
There have also been reports of networking causing such sleep/wake issues as well.

Blake Lively might have been keeping her marriage to Ryan Reynolds top secret in the weeks leading up to their hush-hush wedding ceremony, but she's not been hiding the fact that she wants to have a family.
In an interview with Allure conducted before Lively tied the knot with her Green Lantern costar, the 25-year-old admitted that she's dying to have children.
"I've always wanted a big family. Oh, I'd love 30 [children] if I could," she says.
That's a different approach than Reynolds, 35, took in his first marriage to Scarlett Johansson. That couple was looking to adopt, but it seems like Lively wanted to experience motherhood from the beginning.
Even though she hadn't announced that she and Reynolds were engaged, Lively was still bubbling with happiness at the time of this interview.
"Right now, I'm so peaceful," she says. "I've never been happier in my life. It's the choice that you have to wake up every day and say, 'There's no reason today can't be the best day of my life.' "
The Gossip Girl star also opened up about her own body insecurities, saying, "I obviously have plenty of imperfections on my body, but I'd rather have a little bit of cellulite and go do a food trip and try every ice cream place in the South." Sing it, sister.
Lively and Reynolds married Sunday in Charleston, S.C. The historic estate they used was, appropriately, a setting used in one of the most romantic movies ever made: The Notebook.

Now much to say, it does what it says. Ordered two more after the installing the first order.
Extremely easy to install. If it takes you more than 3 minutes to put up the sliding rail, please stop what you are doing and re-read the instructions. The only thing I didn't realize is that I had to cut the pane;s to fit the area (length) - which makes sense after I figured it out! That was not hard at all. They were up and ready to use in like 25 minutes total. Sturdy & love the color. We have another patio door, and am going to buy the same ones to put there. They don't look cheap at all. Shipped fast, and no defects in product.
These are cheap cheap cheap! They come with no instructions. I am a smart cookie and cannot figure out how to get all four over each other. They are made cheap. You have to put the weights on the bottom. I have now cut the bottoms of these three times and put the weight back on. They are fraying badly. I will probably be throwing these away in the next month or so. So it was a total waste of $XXX.XX.
These blinds would be good for an apartment or rental. Easy to install. No valance. No protection on the fabric for opening and closing.
Love them much better then blinds. I just wish the track would have been a little longer, so the whole door window would be exposed.
I love the look of these, but unfortunately the operation is real bad. They Velcro onto the sliding track pieces and come loose when trying to slide open or close them. They don't slide easily and each part of the track that holds separate panels gets hung up and won't slide past another one and the struggle causes the Velcro to come loose and then the panels fall off the track. I bought two sets so I would have a second set in case the panels got soiled in my rental, which is where I had them installed and the people have not even moved in yet. They will be a problem and I anticipate my new renters will complain and not only will the one installed set have to come down, the second back up set will be a waste. I might go get them from my storage and return that set due to the problems I see happening already before my renters move in. I guess drapes will be what I must do, but too bad as these do look awesome. The poor operation is the only reason I am thoroughly unhappy.
I needed something for large upstairs bedroom windows & could not decide, until I saw these. I have never seen anything like them before. Love them.

Humidity 62%
Winds 9.2mph
Humidity 62%
Winds 9.2mph
Dec 21, 2012 8:38 PM by Meteorologist Mike Rawlins
Montanans hoping for a white Christmas may get their wish after all.
For several days, forecast models have showed a couple of different scenarios that would bring light snow to Big Sky Country.
However, all the various solutions were quite different from the other, leaving us with little confidence in the weekend forecast.
Those models are in sync now and are showing three different opportunities for snow before Christmas.
A cold front will move south out of Canada allowing much colder air to move into Montana.
Light snow will develop as moisture runs over the colder airmass.
For the evening and overnight hours, the best chance for light snow will be north of a line stretching from Great Falls to Havre.
The image above shows our hi-resolution in-house computer model, indicating snow showers and light snow in our northern counties this evening.
An upper level trough just off the Pacific Coast will swing onshore, pushing moisture inland.
Combined with an upper level disturbance (shortwave) moving through Montana, light snow will develop over the Rockies and push east Saturday night into Sunday.
Light snow accumulation is expected with this band of snow at lower elevations.
The mountains and mountain passes could see as much as 6" of snow during this period.
Our in-house computer forecast model is showing a couple inches of snow possible on the Hi-Line by Sunday evening, with lesser amounts south of Highway 2.
Models indicate an area of low pressure at the surface will scoot across southern Montana/northern Wyoming on Monday.
Northerly winds will develop and light snow should develop across north central Montana.
At this time, it appears this will be a fairly quick snow event, but some locations could see a quick inch or two of accumulation by Monday evening.
Those with holiday travel plans should keep a close eye on the forecast and plan ahead.

What is the CPNE like - page 2
I have health safety to redo and then I can do the FCCA. Thank god, I've been doing this for 3 years , and it wasn't easy. Anyways I was wondering what was instore front me. What is the CPNE like. And how long does it take.... Read More
- 0Mar 14, '13 by Pixie.RN, BSN, RN, EMT-P Senior ModeratorQuote from GeauxNursingI am sorry. Are you going to continue your education somewhere else?I failed the CPNE twice. I am not going back.
- 2Mar 14, '13 by GeauxNursingQuote from LunahRNYep! Starting the application for program here in Dallas for accelerated Bsn.
I am sorry. Are you going to continue your education somewhere else?
- 0Mar 15, '13 by tnmarie, LPNI agree that is is not objective; as on article here on AN pointed out, there is really no way for "objective" clinical and this is no different. That being said, my CA and CEs were great; I couldn't honestly complain about them.
I'm going to try not to be too bitter if I fail again. I mean, I researched the program thoroughly, knew that the CPNE only had a 60% pass rate, and therefore had a pretty good idea of what I was getting into.
I haven't decided what I'm going to do if I fail the second time, career-wise. I am actually happy with being an LPN, but there is a MAJOR overage of LPNs in the area. I'm not really interested in going back to school for nursing. If I fail, I think my tentative plan is to try to get on at a SNF in the area and hope that it is more stable and will offer more hours than the private duty job that I have now. I don't have any SNF experience, but it it the best choice I can think of given my location and situation. And before anyone suggests moving to find work. I've done it. Twice. I still haven't decided if I'm going to put Ec on my resume though...
@GeauxNursing Good luck with your bridge program in Dallas!
- 0Mar 15, '13 by jessica*34Quote from tnmarieI am also testing in Albany April 19, it is my first time though... Good luck to you!!@ BerryHappy Thanks for your response. I took my CPNE in Utica in February. My boyfriend and I drove from Tennessee to New York and we had a wreck the day before I took the test. I felt well prepared and we were already an hour outside of Utica when we were rear-ended, so I went on and took the test. I didn't pass. Unfortunately I could not get a retest date in Utica so I will be taking it the second time around in Albany on April 19th. I will be flying in, the hotel is literally attached to the hospital, and the hotel offers a shuttle so I will be doing NO driving.
I frankly was not sure how to approach it the second time around. I felt very well prepared the first time: I took Sheri Taylor's online workshop and submitted care plans to her weekly, set up a sim lab in my living room and practiced with my mom as the CE, did all of the PCSs from the school and submitted them, did grid drills, read the study guide cover to cover five times and much more to prepare. I studied for over 3 months for several hours a day. I started a thread here asking for advice for how to approach it the second time, but I had already done all of those recommendations the first time around.
I only failed one lab the first time around (wound) but then I failed both PCSs on Saturday and they were both counted as adult, so it was bye-bye birdie. PCS 1 I failed for listening to lung sounds through a thin sports bra and PCS 2 I failed because I thought the pt said she had a pain scale of 1 but she said 4.
I decided to take an Ec hiatus for the rest of February (not much choice since I had to drive to NY AGAIN to pick up the BFs car). I just started studying again in March. The school will not let me submit additional PCSs so I paid to take the care plan workshop through Ec this time around to get some "supervised" reviewing in. I'm doing grid drills and practicing labs a couple of times a week while finishing my Math and studying for the NCLEX. I'm hoping I can find the motivation to read the study guide one more time before I return, but since I studied so hard the first time around, it is hard to motivate myself to do so. Your post definitely helps though!
I know what you mean about the money. I will have spent over $10,000 on just taking the CPNE. Like you, I try to see it as an investment. Pass or fail this time, I am a better nurse for taking the Ec program.
BTW, I'm kind of partial to "The Second Timer's Club" myself XD. Picking myself up after failing the CPNE the first time was one of the hardest things I've ever done so I'm certainly not ashamed of this membership.
To everyone: I do not recommend driving. I know flying is a pain, but driving is worse. It is much less safe, not to mention that it is very hard to drive home while bawling your eyes out if you fail. Thank goodness my BF was there to take up the slack!
- 0Mar 16, '13 by tnmarie, LPNThanks. Right back at you! You feel ready yet? I've heard it was a really good site to have. I dread coming to NY again WAY more than I dread the exam. I don't know if the CAs and CEs will be the same, but the ones I had in Utica were great. If you have practiced your butt off using the study guide and you listen to your CEs, it's actually a pretty easy test, IMO. Grids really are the life-saver that they say as well.
- 0Mar 16, '13 by jessica*34I wouldn't say I feel ready yet, but I am practicing my care plans and grids and mnemonics as much as I can, I think if I can keep up my studies I will be ready though!! I've ran through the labs a couple times but they are not my main focus yet, I want to feel more comfortable with the rest first.
- 0Sep 9 by Toyota LPNI did not expect that The Exelsior college likes to bully and discriminate their students by giving those CPNE exam and not giving them a chance to remediate or retest on their mistakes after the 2d fail. That's so unfair!
- 0Sep 9 by Pixie.RN, BSN, RN, EMT-P Senior ModeratorQuote from Toyota LPNThere is an appeals process outlined in your study guide if you feel that something was unfair. Did you test recently?I did not expect that The Exelsior college likes to bully and discriminate their students by giving those CPNE exam and not giving them a chance to remediate or retest on their mistakes after the 2d fail. That's so unfair!
- 0Sep 17 by Pixie.RN, BSN, RN, EMT-P Senior ModeratorQuote from MandylpnNo, you can take it 3 times. But you have two attempts to pass each element within each CPNE test as a whole.so you can only take CPNE twice? Just asking .............

Hmm... let's see. What happened today?? Nothing memorable, aside from the fact that I only said one sentence to Brandon. (<---- accomplishment.) And Danielle bitched out Stephanie. (Not my Stephanie, the little 8th grade Stephanie) So.. that made me happy. Because Tom is like a brother to me, and anyone who hurts a brother hurts me. And if she hurts him, and therefore me, then the only thing that would keep me from beating that Buffy down would be him. Because I love him. Like a brother.Yanno, in the movie Thirteen, Evie and Tracy are really close. Like.. best best best friends. And it made me think... I don't really have a best friend. One that I spend a bunch of time with and can tell absolutely anything to. I want one of those. I wonder how much they cost...Well, I'm off now. =)
Obviosuly, I haven't updaed in a while. And in that while, a lot has happened.Brandon and I shared our one month anniversary. We didn't quite make it to two.I'm still madly in love with him and can never get him out of my mind. No matter how hard I try.I have a horrible headache, I'm doing well in my classes, and I'm making many new friends. My old ones still leave me out.Sarah got 'engaged'. A lot of people think she's crazy. I do, too; no matter how much I try to be happy for her. I just can't be. But I'm not going to tell her that.I had a miserable Valentine's Day. Thought about Brandon non-stop. Especially the football game when we first met, and the magic I felt... Yeah... and here I go, crying yet again.I also rented the movie 'Thirteen', which is the best movie E-V-E-R. Rent it, love it, hell, mebbeh even buy it. Who knows?
a - act your age – 14b - boyfriend – Brandon <3c - chore you hate – ...All of 'em.d - dads name – Terry.e - essential make up item – Lip gloss. I'm addicted... to the... LIP GLOSS!!!f - favorite actor – Johnny Deppg - gold or silver - Silverh - hometown - Elkviewi - instruments you play – None, but I hope to learn guitar.j - job title – ...Does a student really have a job title? Because it's more like a chore than a job.k - kids – Eep. Don't ask meh that.l - living arrangements – I live in me house with my mom. My dad's a truck driver and is here once every month or two.m - moms name - Julian - number of people youve kissed – ...Maybe... 7? I think.o - overnight hospital stays – When I was little and I had bronchitis. p - phobia – Heights and spiders.q - quote you like – Hmm...

Growl. I think Rosemary likes Brandon....Yeah. Thats really NOT a good thing.Hehe. i <3 brandon. I'm still a little bit goofy from a drink I had a little while ago. My past week has been boring, which is why I haven't been updating. Thanksgiving was boring. But I did get in a fight for a giant Care Bear at Wal-Mart that Friday. That's about the only fun thing thats happened. Besides being with Brandon and listening to his story about how God is now a guy in Mexico named El Guapo (?) who sells burritos. Mmhmm. Oh so fun.Gods, he is awesome. <333XD Binks
Growl. I am so bored.Sittin' here listening to Jeff Foxworthy. 'Tis fun.And we finally had school today. Got to see Brandon. ^_^ Ahh, he's amazing. During Algebra, Emily and I sat there talking about how cute his ass was.Haha, I have a hawt boyfriend.In your face, Michael Jackson.
No school today. =P This sucks. I was wanting to see Brandon.Yeah, like you couldn't have guessed that. Haha.I just got out of the most refreshing shower of my life. Orgasmic. Ahh. These past few days have been great, with the exception of... well, I can't quite talk about that in here. I'm off to make a new screen name.<3 Binks
I just goy off of the phone with Brandon. I'm just so scared I'm going to fuck everything up. Maybe I'm just paranoid and having doubt about myself... But.. When I talk to him, somtimes I'll get a little shy and I won't talk and it's kind of akward. I just don't know how to act. I'm scared I'll say something horribly wrong or something.I am so happy to have him. So lucky. So so so lucky. He holds me.. he kisses me. I've never had a guy who's done that before. My relationships have either been long distance or with jerks. (DJ for example.) I mean.. Brandon is soo great. I don't think I deserve him. He's so sweet and nice and funny.. practically perfect.There's only 4 people I've really liked/loved.And, of course, I like Brandon. But.. maybe it's love.I'm scared to say it. And I'm scared that he'll be scared IF I say it. My thoughts are just so... I'm confused.<3 Binks

1. Shop sample sale boutiques.
Everyone knows that great deals can be found at sample sales, but those are only a once-every-few-months event, especially in Chicago.
Luckily, there are two sample sale companies that have actually opened up bricks-and-mortar stores. The first is Beta Boutique (2016 W. Concord Place), in Bucktown, and California-based Thread Lounge Lincoln Park (918 West Armitage Ave.). At Beta Boutique, you can find a wide range of designer samples and overstock, from national lines like Marc by Marc Jacobs, smaller indie lines like Lauren Moffatt and local lines like Orlando Espinoza. The inventory is changing constantly, and is anywhere from 40 to 90 percent off retail.
Lounge gets in new merchandise daily, and a sampling of lines includes eco-line Stewart + Brown, Citizens of Humanity and Velvet all priced at wholesale and below.
2. Sign up for mailing lists to receive email updates and mailings from stores and sites, This is often the best way to hear about deals going on at your favorite shops, both online and in-store. Local boutiques with a higher price point, like SHE Boutique (483 Central, Highland Park) and Jake (939 N. Rush St.) have extensive e-commerce sites, where you can often find sales that aren't even available in-store. A local style site called twentythirtyforty.net has an online store, with a consistently fantastic array of sale items at fifty percent off retail.
3. Know when to shop.
Several spots are offering day-specific sales. One example is Bucktown shoe store City Soles. Every Tuesday, the store discounts a line 20 percent, and the deal is available in-store and online from 10am Tuesday through 10am Wednesday. You can sign up to get e-mail notices the day before, as a reminder and to let you know what line is being featured. Another one is a locally based site, studio-808.com. Studio-808 carries accessories and clothing by some of the best local Chicago designers, and each week, they feature one item for one day at 70 percent off, for what they're calling "Recessionista Wednesday."
4. Seek out designer collaborations with stores like Target, Walmart and Urban Outfitters
Target continues to be a fantastic resource for designer pieces at unbelievable prices, with the store's GO International initiative. This month, a collection from Tracy Feith is slated to hit stores May 17. Also, perfect timing because Target is hosting its "Bullseye Bazaar" - its first pop-up retail store in the Midwest - from Thursday, May 7 - Saturday, May 9 on the ground floor of the Tribune Tower (455 N. Michigan Avenue) from 10 am - 8 pm each day. The Bullseye Bazaar is designed to be a fun and festive take on a traditional market, showcasing more than a dozen designer partners from Thomas O'Brien, Victoria Hagan and Michael Graves to Tracy Feith, Felix Rey and Erickson Beamon, including a sneak peak at upcoming spring/summer fashions not available in stores just yet!.
Norma Kamali has several great pieces for Walmart right now, all at $20 or under. And Urban Outfitters has been doing some very exciting collaborations with Independent designers, including Steven Alan, Kim Gordon and Geren Ford, and will continue to add new collections -- a great way to find indie designer style at much more affordable prices.
5. Time your shopping around holiday promotions
There are always great discounts and offers tied to holidays i.e.Mother's Day is coming up and Macy's offers free shipping and in-store discounts. End of Season - many retailers, like Gap and Banana Republic, will offer in-store sales and promotions on merchandise right before the new season arrives in the store. Check the websites or call ahead to find out what deals are available. Loehmann's birthday discount - Loehmann's on N. State Street, here in Chicago has greatly reduced designer merchandise. If you sign up for a Club Card, you are offered a birthday promotion which allows you to shop at 15% off for one day during your Birthday month.
6. Finally, Lucky's own Local Breaks!
Every month, we feature 5 stores, sites or spas in the Chicago issues of Lucky, and those spots offer Lucky readers a deal, usually 20 percent storewide or 20 percent on any single item. The June issue will be on newsstands this week, and you can save at Serpico boutique, The Dressing Room Shoes, a new Wheeling lingerie shop called Romantika Boutique and online at local jewelry designer Julie Schwanbeck's shopjules.com

A logging truck crash caused a highway intersection to close for an hour outside Anaconda.
Around 9:20 Friday morning, the driver was turning from Highway 1 onto Highway 48, heading for Deer Lodge.
Montana Highway Patrol says he took the corner too fast, causing the logging truck semi to roll onto the passenger side.
The logs spilled onto the highway and ditch.
The driver suffered a broken arm.
It is unsure if he broke it during the crash or when he unbuckled his seat belt and fell in the cab of the truck.
MHP cited the driver for careless driving.

text: Pregnant mothers and expectant grandparents scour the aisles of infant clothing well in advance of the baby's arrival, searching for the first baby outfit. Each minute piece of clothing seems more charming than the last, and it's hard to believe there will soon be a little person to fill the soft fabric. The first baby outfit really translates into a set of basic clothing items that are a must for baby's arrival. Although frilly, lacy outfits are hard to resist, they are not as practical as the good old cotton onesie! Babies spit up and have accidents, and so durable, washable fabrics are the best way to go. But being practical does not mean that you have to trade in one bit of charm. The basic rule when choosing those first baby outfits is to ensure soft and comfortable clothing. An uncomfortable baby means a fussy and unhappy one, and no apparel is worth that. Therefore, in addition to buying clothes that feel soft and appealing, it's important to make sure that there are no irritating tags or seams. By turning the outfit inside out and running your hand along all of the seams, you will know whether there are any sharp or annoying edges. Safety comes before fashion. Although most manufacturers have stopped producing infant and toddler clothing with long ties, one can still find them occasionally on the clothing racks. Long ties can get caught on toys, crib rails, etc. They can also get wrapped too tightly around baby?s fingers. Avoid them. Equally important to avoid are those pieces of clothing with extra and unnecessary items sewn on. If a baby can remove any loose object, it becomes a choking hazzard. First baby outfits should have easy access to the diaper changing area. If an entire outfit has to be removed each time the baby needs a diaper change, everyone will be unhappy. Avoid the complicated outfits with snaps only along the back. The recommended basics for the first baby outfits are:

Mitsubishi Presentation Products has introduced the X80 ColorView Projector. At 7.7 lbs., the X80 represents a step toward manufacturing LCD projectors that can reproduce the same natural color tones as other display devices like CRT monitors. Images displayed through the X80 projector with sRGB Color Mode will visually resemble the same images when displayed in a CRT-based display device or other sRGB-compliant devices.
With color reproduction being a key element in educational applications where subtle color discrepancies may cause problems, the X80 projector offers superior color handling and display features, as well as up to 1,500 ANSI lumens that can deliver high-quality images in both video and computer presentations. Mitsubishi Presentation Products, Irvine, CA, (888) 880-6351, www.mitsubishipresentations.com.
