CAFE Nova Scotia was launched in the fall of 1997. We now recognize our Chapter's beginnings at our annual Peter Wilson Dinner. The late Peter Wilson, Wilson Fuel Co. Ltd. was one of the principal founders of the Canadian Association of Family Enterprise's Nova Scotia Chapter, and is remembered and honored annually at the Peter Wilson Dinner for all he gave toward the development of family business.
CAFE is honored to have Jon Stanfield, President, Stanfield's Canada, join us as our 2015 keynote speaker. Jon is the fifth generation to head the Truro, N.S., based 156-year-old clothing manufacturer. For more details or to register for this event, click here.
Join the conversation and find the support you need in making your family business a success.
CAFE Personal Advisory Groups (PAGs) are operational in CAFE chapters across Canada. Have a look at what members in one chapter say about the experience by clicking on the video below.
Why do PAGs work so well?
Probably the most common challenge family business members face is isolation – it is often difficult to discuss problems with other family members, and those outside family business may not understand the nuances of family enterprise. Participation in a PAG helps resolve this problem by serving as your dedicated 'board of advisors'.
A PAG is a group of 8-12 CAFE members from different non-compteting family businesses who meet monthly to support each other by sharing personal, family and business experiences in a highly confidential and supportive environment. PAGs are open to all family members and CAFE Vancouver Island also provides the opportunity for advisor members to join PAGs upon satisfying some criteria.
PAGs are unique not only because of their specific focus on business family issues, but in terms of the support, mentorship and friendship they provide.

In this video, our favorite actress, Chloë Sevigny, star of HBO's Big Love, Oscar nominee and uber-stylish indie film goddess, takes you on a tour of her favorite New York neighborhood, the East Village. We've been big fans of Chloë ever since spotting her as a young actress in New York in the early 90's. When she's not off making movies or filming episodes of Big Love in LA, she makes her home in the East Village. Here she discusses some of her favorite haunts.

Metallica's long-awaited 3D movie has a title and a theatrical release date.
Today, the band posted the following news item to their official website:
"We're back with an update on that little project we told you about last year ... the Metallica 3D movie filmed in Vancouver in August of 2012. Some of you were kind enough to be a huge part of our three nights of filming and may be wondering just what the heck has been happening since then.
"Throughout the fall and first part of this year, we've been working with director Nimrod Antal and a team of editors to pull all the pieces together and so we are beyond excited to now actually have a release date and a title ... drum-roll please, Metallica Through The Never coming to theatres on August 9!
"We're also proud to announce that we will be teaming up with independent film marketing and distribution company Picturehouse to help us spread the love in theatres. Like your friends in 'Tallica, Picturehouse is truly independent, take big chances and often think outside of the box. Founder Bob Berney has overseen the releases of two of the most successful independent films ever, My Big Fat Greek Wedding and The Passion of the Christ, as well as many other cutting edge, critically acclaimed and award winning films.
"It goes without saying that we are really just getting rolling here and will have many more updates for you. And of course, we can't wait for you to see the film!!"

Gear Review
Jeff Guest
Finally I found a good Park/Powder board!
I was tired of trying to decide whether I should bring my Powder board or my Park board on those iffy days and I always seamed to bring the wrong one. I was sick of having 2 baords that I had to choose between. I have been searching for years for a good Park/Powder board and have failed many times. I was fortunate enough to be able to demo the Signal Rocker Light on a crappy hardpack day, and again on an awesome powder day and in the park on both days! I finally found what I've been looking for for so many years! The flat (no camber) area between the bindings is perfect for hardpack park runs and for floating on top of the pow on powder days. The 2 stage rocker outside the bindings ensure that those presses look legit, the butters are buttery smooth, and the tips stay up and float like a dream while riding with a centered stance in the deepest of powder days.
I'm 5'5" and 110lbs. I usually ride a 144 DC BFF in the park and a 152 Lib Tech Skate Banana in the pow. I demoed the 152 Rocker Light and it blew any other reverse camber board out of the water for responsivness, float, butters, and overall fun in all conditions! You will read in other reviews that they say the board is loose and playful, which it is for the most part, but is still resposive. They also say it is a bit unstable at high speeds which made me a little hesitant about getting the board, but after demoing it and bombing down hills, it was a little chattery, but wasn't all that bad! You can do it all with this board! Who wants to buy my Rome Reverb Rocker from me? ;)

I planted some Giant Dahlias and they have been steadily growing. I was so excited about finally seeing these beautiful flowers. However, someone broke the entire stalk off the bulb today. Is there any way to re-root a bulb plant or am I just out of luck until it grows again from the bulb? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by morpheuspa 7A--PA (My Page) on Mon, Jul 28, 14 at 23:05
Are there leaves left? If so, the dahlia will branch out and be fine--the break is above the ground. But flowering will be severely delayed. If not, it may re-sprout. Watch and wait. Water the soil only if it gets very, very dry--dahlia without leaves don't require a great deal of water and you risk rot if you over-water. |

32 He said to them, "Go and tell that fox for me, "Listen, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my work. | 32 He replied, "Go tell that fox, 'I will drive out demons and heal people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.' |

Like Them!
I really love these jeans. Most skinny jeans have too low of a rise, but these are perfect - not constantly pulling them up. They are very comfortable, too. I've gotten many compliments on them as they accentuate long legs. I wish they came in more colors!
Chattanooga, TN
Very Comfortable
I have been looking for skinny jeans that are snug without being too tight and binding. These are super soft and comfy (for skinny jeans). However, the waist is higher and the back end is not overly flattering. The high pockets give the seat of the jeans of mommy jean look. But, with most skinny jeans, I usually wear a tunic or long shirt so my backside isn't visible anyway. Will keep them because they are so comfy. I am 5'3" and 105lbs. I usually wear a petite so these are a bit long, but that can be fixed by rolling the bottoms and wearing boots. These run on the smaller end; the 4 fit me and I usually need a size 2. If you order your normal size, beware they will probably be quite snug (as skinny jeans should be)!

Why Am I Dead is a retro-style mystery game. You've recently been killed. Play as your disembodied ghost, take over control of other people in the hotel and investigate your own murder.
Use WASD to move around the hotel, press the space bar or Z to possess or de-possess people. Press E to open doors and interact with people. Use the arrow keys or W and S to select an answer if there are multiple options during a conversation.
Hey guys! Actually I've made updates to my game prior to today, but haven't edited the description. Fixed some bugs, including the problems Internet Explorer had with the preloader. Yay! I also implemented medals.
...And I also added some extra content! I had originally cut a lot of stuff out of the game, thinking no one would find it or care anyway. But the feedback I've gotten here motivated me to put some more work into the game, even if it's just a little. I want to give a huge, warm THANK YOU to everyone for your time and attention. :D
New version adds a link to a walkthrough in the pause menu, and fixes the unintentionally sadistic placement of the "Return to Main Menu" button.
Thanks to everyone for all of your feedback! I truly appreciate it. This is a really hectic weekend for me, so I've been struggling to react to your feedback as quickly as I'd like to. Thank you for your patience and support.
Uploaded a new version which fixes a bug with Morgan's dialogue and prevents the problem that some of you had with the final part of the game.
Nice game a little hard but you my friend know how to make a mystery game so suspenseful i want a second part you have the makings of a game designer hope you make a better one in the future and nice job. :P
Amazing AND has a twisted ending. I must say, this is the greatest mystery game I have played as of yet. 5/5 For damn sure.
This is clever, well written, had diverse characters, and overall awesome! Be proud of this fine piece of work. I expect to see a sequal come out of this.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAHHAHAHAAAHAHA. Yeah really , it's a great game :P.

It happens every January. Once the glitz, glam, glitter and gluttony of the holidays are over, I crave simplicity and long to surround myself with natural neutrals.
So last week when a sea tide of photos featuring undyed natural linens in a beautifully simple home flowed into my inbox, it was an oasis for my over-stimulated eyes.
I had forgotten how much I loved linen, but Richard Ostell, a respected fashion and home designer, reminded me. The shots were from his home in Westchester County, N.Y. Rough woven linens graced his tables, windows and bed like a pure sigh of relief.
I got him on the phone.
"I'm calling to talk about our mutual love of linen," I said, breaking Rule No. 1 in journalism: Never show your bias.
"I'm not a fan of superfluous detail," he said, in a British accent that oozed refinement. "I'd much rather have something plain. Linen is honest, simple, humble, durable and has an element of having been touched by human hands."
The former creative director for Liz Claiborne, Ostell now has his own furniture and product design company. His work, whether in fashion or furnishings, reflects style that doesn't scream. His home whispers, "I am here to comfort, not impress." It's a mantra more homes should adopt.
"Linen is this great-looking fabric, so why don't we use it more?" I ask.
"I'm puzzled by that, as well," he said. "Possibly because it's naturally rumpled look gave it a reputation for being too casual. It got pigeonholed, but it can be very sophisticated. I think a lot of people don't understand what they can do with it."
"I think it's the ironing," I say. "All that pressing and starching. Who has time?"
"I never iron linen," he says.
"It defeats the point of it. The rumpled look is part of its beauty. I love it right when it comes out of the dryer fluffy. I don't think people should think it looks messy. It should be left as it is.
"Appreciate the fabric's natural state," he continues. "Linen wrinkles. Pressed linen looks worse when it wrinkles. You don't want your linen to be pristine and pressed and perfect."
I let this sink in: I can get a better look with less effort. I hang up, in love with linen even more than before.
Besides permission to let my linen be rumpled, here are some other insights Ostell shared on how to live more beautifully with linen.
Best places: Ostell's duvet cover is a natural linen color, undyed and unbleached, and his linen sheets and pillowcases are white. He uses heavy linen for drapes and upholstery, including slipcovers, and lighter-weight linen for tablecloths and napkins. "You can overdo it, but most people don't use linen enough."
Keep it natural: Though he's drawn to undyed linen, colored linen is OK, he says, if the color is achieved through a natural dye. The only linen color he's opposed to is black. "It doesn't fade well."
Always at home: Pure natural linen mixes well with wood, metal, other fabrics and all decor styles, from contemporary to rustic. It has a place in every style of home, and keeps interiors from looking too cold, he says.
The class factor: Cotton and linen come from cotton and flax, respectively. Hundreds of years ago, linen was valued over cotton for its stamina, sheen and feel, but as cotton became cheaper to mass produce, linen became considered a high-maintenance (when starched and ironed) symbol of class and status. Cotton is still usually less expensive. Cotton linen is a blend, and costs less than 100 percent linen. But fabric connoisseurs prefer pure linen, which gives a more uneven thread.
A test for best: When choosing, look for Irish or Belgian linen, the world's best linens, Ostell suggests. Linen from China is often not as good, wrinkles more easily and is thin.
Resist ironing: When you buy linen in the store, it is starched, pressed and finished very highly, he said. "When you wash and dry it, it won't look that way anymore. And that's good. Leave it."
Life, like linen, is better relaxed.

SnipITs - Issue 3 2008
Welcome to the third issue of SnipITs.
With Semester 2 fast approaching, this issue will focus on some processes and services that may be useful to staff and students of the University of Newcastle.
Future issues of SnipITs will cover The Email Gateway and SPAM, and the Network Refresh Program Major Milestone.
BigPond Unmetered Downloads
Firstly, a reminder that BigPond Broadband Members can access, view and/or download any amount of content from The University of Newcastle website (http://www.newcastle.edu.au) without affecting their monthly usage total.
This is possible through a unique arrangement between our University and BigPond which recognises our website as an "unmetered" source. Note: Data accessed must be from the University site and not from a linked 3rd party site eg. Library databases.
This can be of benefit to all enrolled students accessing information including podcasts and lectures, academic staff uploading files to BlackBoard and general surfing for information on the University's website.
RHD Laptops
Following the successful distribution in Semester 1 of 350 laptops to eligible Research Higher Degree Students, IT Services is gearing up for the Semester 2 influx of commencing RHD students.
It is anticipated that up to 100 laptops (Windows and Mac) will be collected by RHD students in the first two weeks of Semester 2. Each computer has been pre-imaged in line with our Managed Operating Environment.
When a student collects a laptop, details about the installed software and the conditions of use are explained, and a member of staff provides one-on-one assistance to connect the computer to the University network. This process can take up to 20 minutes per student.
CAMS Update
Lastly, but significantly, recent improvements made to CAMS (the University's Central Account Management System) will expedite the processes involved in setting up accounts for new staff.
When HRS are provided with the necessary information, accounts for staff can be created in advance of the starting date, rather than on the actual day of commencement, providing a more timely "work ready" environment. In addition, Contract (Agency) staff are recognised as "staff", eliminating the need for the paper based Affiliate form.
Subscribe to SnipITs
Enter your details on the following webpage: http://mailman.newcastle.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/it-snipits. You will be sent email requesting confirmation.
Please pass SnipITs on to anyone in your area who may wish to subscribe.
Send your feedback on SnipITs to email@example.com.

Centering is always the most important in terms of eye appeal and I would kep that card right where it is. If Beckett happens to be at a local show and you can do an in person review go for it. Other than that you have a BGS 9.5/PSA 10 that is hiding out in a 9 holder. I say its worth as much as a 9.5 that has one 9 sub due to the centering. Great card.

I have used this site for many years now and they are adding new cards and new features, Christmas last year they added an advent calander which my children loved, I use facebook and again they have added the feature whereby you can post a card to your own wall or indeed to a friend's wall.
I really love this feature tied in with facebook as it is much nicer to send a card that will delight someone rather than just post a 'happy birthday'
The range of cards is immense and for someone just joining they will be truly spoiled for choice for people like me who have used it a numnber of years there is still the opportunity of sending new cards you can even send a present of a subscription to a friend.
I also feel it is a safe site to use there are many other sites out there but you worry about safety issues
Recently they have added notelets a much nicer way of contacting a friend rather than sending a boring e mail and remember they do not charge you more because you use it a lot so it's entirely up to you as to how much value for money you get from using the site.

"In different clinics, different issues matter, so there is no one size fits all solution," said Dohan. "For example, in a public clinic, they may have translators, but not translators that are equipped to cross cultural barriers in clinical trials."
In private practice and academic settings, clinicians are often rewarded for recruiting patients into clinical trials, but they are not rewarded more for recruiting harder to reach minority patients.
"In a private practice where you have to watch the bottom line, the likelihood is that most of the recruitment is going to pharmaceutical trials, which tend to provide more incentive and do not necessarily require minority recruitment," said Dohan.
#B77. Cancer screening in older South Asian immigrants in United States
New data among South Asian immigrants confirms that cancer screening rates are low largely due a lack of knowledge about available services and the benefits of screening.
Abhijit S. Prabhughate, a doctoral candidate at the Jane Addams College of Social Work at UIC in Chicago, said more research is needed to understand the cultural sensitivities in this population.
"South Asian-Americans are an understudied group. More than 40 percent of the South Asian immigrants in our study did not have health insurance and little is known about their risk," said Prabhughate.
Of 331 total surveyed people, 84 percent were born in India and 14 percent were born in Pakistan. Although 57 percent of them had lived in the United States for a decade or more, only 65 percent had a regular family doctor.
These immigrants were likely to not be screened for breast cancer for the following reasons: not wanting to know if one had cancer, family not wanting the individual to get tested, embarrassment, fear of losing job, language difficulties, and not knowing where to get tested.

Watch Live: Gov. Chris Christie Holds Press Conference
[Live event concluded.]
[Live event concluded.]
I hope you're sitting down, because believe it or not, another highly placed, influential Republican official has been caught with racist emails.
WASHINGTON — The deputy chief of staff to then-County Executive Scott Walker praised a racist email forwarded to her in 2010 that joked welfare recipients are "mixed in color, unemployed, lazy, can't speak English and have no frigging clue who the r [sic] Daddys [sic] are."
The email tells the story of a dog owner who asks the government for canine welfare checks because the dogs match the criteria detailed above. Kelly Rindfleisch, Walker's then-deputy chief of staff in 2010, wrote that the email was "hilarious" and "so true." The email was sent to Rindfleisch from someone outside Walker's staff.
In his news conference last week, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he had not seen aide David Wildstein (implicated in the GWB bridge-closing scandal) for "a long time."
Well, it seems this was not true.
Gov. Chris Christie was with the official who arranged the closure of local lanes leading to the George Washington Bridge on Sept. 11, 2013 — the third day of the closures, and well after they had triggered outrage from local officials beset by heavy traffic.
It isn't known what, if anything, Mr. Christie discussed with David Wildstein that day, when the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey official was among the delegation of Mr. Christie's representatives who welcomed him to the site of the World Trade Center for the commemoration of the 12th anniversary of the terrorist attacks there.
Christie spokesman Colin Reed said, "Of course, Governor Christie attended the September 11th ceremony as he has done every year since he took office. He had numerous interactions with public officials that morning, including representatives of the Port Authority. They were all there for one reason - to pay tribute to the heroes of 9/11."
Mr. Wildstein did not respond to a request for comment.
Also present with Mr. Christie that day were Bill Baroni, the authority's deputy executive director, who was helping Mr. Wildstein manage the fallout from the closures among local officials, subpoenaed documents show. Also there was David Samson, the Port Authority chairman and close Christie ally, who has said he didn't learn of the lane closures and traffic in Fort Lee, N.J., until an email from a New York port official ordered the lane closures reversed. Messrs. Samson and Baroni didn't respond to requests for comment.
Today, Chris Christie is seeing his hopes for a presidential campaign tearing apart like frayed gauze: Chris Christie: 'I Am Embarrassed'.
"It is heartbreaking to me that I wasn't told the truth," the New Jersey governor and potential 2016 presidential candidate told reporters at a 107-minute news conference in Trenton. "I'm a very loyal guy, and I expect loyalty in return, and lying to me is not an exhibition of loyalty."
"I am embarrassed and humiliated by the conduct of some of the people on my team. There is no doubt in my mind that the conduct they exhibited is completely unacceptable," he added. "It showed a lack of respect for the appropriate role of government and the people that were trusted to serve."
Christie announced he had immediately fired Bridget Kelly, a deputy chief of staff in his office who sent an email that it was "time for traffic problems in Fort Lee" at a time when Christie's campaign was seeking an endorsement from the Democratic mayor of the city. Christie said Kelly had failed to come forward to explain earlier when he challenged his staff say if they had knowledge of the lane closures.
"She was not given the opportunity to explain why she lied," Christie said.
Meanwhile, in testimony before the New Jersey Assembly Transportation Committee, close Christie ally David Wildstein repeatedly pleaded the 5th Amendment.
The latest moves in the burgeoning Bridgeghazi scandal are pretty predictable, as Gov. Chris Christie responds in classic politician's fashion by blaming someone else.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) has acknowledged that the New Jersey bridge closing scandal has reached his office.
In a statement issued Wednesday afternoon, Christie responded to the revelation that one of his close aides discussed plans to close lanes on the George Washington Bridge last year.
"What I've seen today for the first time is unacceptable," Christie said. "I am outraged and deeply saddened to learn that not only was I misled by a member of my staff, but this completely inappropriate and unsanctioned conduct was made without my knowledge."
Mmkay. We shall see. Meanwhile, Christie's (former?) pal David Wildstein is trying to get his subpoena quashed. And we all know how painful that can be.
David Wildstein, the former Port Authority of New York and New Jersey executive at the center of New Jersey bridge scandal, does not want to testify before state lawmakers on Thursday. And he's going to court to avoid it.
Wildstein filed a lawsuit in state court on Wednesday in an attempt to quash the legislature's subpoena of his testimony, according to The Bergen Record.
Like a true Republican leader, Senator Rand Paul is making excuses for his now-undeniable serial plagiarism by blaming it all on his staff.
Mr. Paul's office acknowledged that it had made mistakes, but largely sought to play down the charges of plagiarism.
"In the thousands of speeches and op-eds Senator Paul has produced, he has always presented his own ideas, opinions and conclusions," Mr. Stafford said. "Senator Paul also relies on a large number of staff and advisers to provide supporting facts and anecdotes — some of which were not clearly sourced or vetted properly."
Mr. Stafford continued: "Footnotes presenting supporting facts were not always used. Going forward, footnotes will be available on request. There have also been occasions where quotations or typesetting indentations have been left out through errors in our approval process. From here forward, quoting, footnoting and citing will be more complete."
Sen. Paul clearly knows that his plagiarism scandal isn't over yet, but he promises he won't be firing any staff members:
Mr. Paul also said he could not rule out that other examples of past plagiarism would come out, but he unequivocally added that no staff members would be fired.
Like his father Ron Paul with his racist newletters, Rand Paul put things out under his own name and is now trying to shift the blame to others. A family trait, apparently.

Apparently, being busted for an online affair and forced to resign from Congress taught Anthony Weiner that he'd need to be more careful, and use an alter ego the next time he sent pictures of his equipment to women.
So he used the name "Carlos Danger."
It was bound to happen sooner or later: An anonymous woman has claimed to the Arizona-based gossip and nudies site The Dirty that she carried on an explicit online affair with mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner — after he was busted and forced to resign from Congress for the exact same thing. "She was lured by Anthony Weiner post scandal via Facebook," wrote the site's editor Nik Ritchie yesterday. "They had a relationship for 6 months and she believed they were in love … The relationship consisted of Anthony Weiner and Anonymous sending sexually explicit pictures of each other and having sexual conversations via phone. The best part was Anthony used an alias this time thinking this would protect him. Anthony Weiner used the name 'Carlos Danger' when he would email pictures of his penis via Yahoo."
The Daily Intelligencer now has a statement from Carlos Danger's mayoral campaign that amounts to an admission.
"I said that other texts and photos were likely to come out, and today they have. As I have said in the past, these things that I did were wrong and hurtful to my wife and caused us to go through challenges in our marriage that extended past my resignation from Congress. While some things that have been posted today are true and some are not, there is no question that what I did was wrong. This behavior is behind me. I've apologized to Huma and am grateful that she has worked through these issues with me and for her forgiveness. I want to again say that I am very sorry to anyone who was on the receiving end of these messages and the disruption that this has caused. As my wife and I have said, we are focused on moving forward."
Call me Captain Obvious, but this guy has a serious problem.

Guys I'm experimenting with different 223 loads. I just got done with a batch of shells with 40gn match bullets that were really short in overall length. (Not much bullet sticking out of the brass.) I'm wondering HOW FAR my bullet HAS TO or SHOULD stick out past my brass? Anybody know? What the MINIMUM it has to go IN my brass? Thanks! Glen

So many variables... My rule of thumb is about the same amount of jacket/bullet should contact neck as the diameter of the neck. 30 Cal, about .3 inches of bullet in the brass. This is more obvious with larger calibers. Short enough that the loaded round fits in the magazine freely. For positive function of the action. No contact between the rifling and the bullet. Engraving rifling on the bullet when chambered, could make for some unexpected pressures. I have found that consistency is more important than the actual seating depth. Remember, when making more than a very minor change in a loading, it is a new load and must be verified as safe. Compression, bullet contact or reduction in space for the powder, will change the burning characteristics. Most people want to load with the bullet out as far as practical. This gives more room for powder and lots of people want to super speed their shots. But, compressed/smaller case volume and powder with the proper burning rates can and do push the same bullets about as fast. Think 30-06 and 308. And the general view is that they are more accurate (I'm not going there). I hope this has helped in your quest. Enjoy and be safe, OSOK
let no talents go unused
Maxmum overall length OAL for 40gr. V-Max 2.215" per the Lyman 49th Edition. What did they mic out at when you were done, What powder are you using, What primer and specifically what bullet? Then, What gun are you shooting these reloads in and what standard are you using to gauge the bullet depth or OAL?
People get the government they deserve.

Don't succumb to these traps.
With the first few weeks in 2012 in the history book, some of us may have already fallen back into bad habits or the email hamster routine that allows for little else other than tactical management of the next email campaign (and there is always, the next email campaign). Others may have big strategic initiatives and a laundry list of plans to evaluate for 2012. Getting them done is hard. Ignoring them is easy.
My recommendation: Have a list for big picture initiatives and blocking-and-tackling measures. Then figure out the best way and resources to accomplish both them and establish a reasonable timeline. Oh, and make sure you avoid some traps that strangle progress and end any chance for positive momentum. My list of things to avoid in 2012 is below. Avoid these and continue to navigate the path to success. Overlook them and it could be an uphill battle.
What is on your list in 2012 and do you have any tips and practices that worked in 2011 that ensured a more successful program?

At first, Naya Rivera didn't confess to planning a family with fiancé Big Sean, but now she's admitting she thinks the rapper is daddy material.
Permalink | Filed Under: Couples, Glee, Big Sean, Naya Rivera
Glee's much-talked-about 100th episode won't air until March, but Naya Rivera is already heating up the set.
The star posted a sexy behind-the-scenes photo to Instagram on Tuesday, captioning it "#Glee100." Rivera is seen in skimpy red lingerie and thigh-high black boots.
Her buzz-worthy, honey-colored locks – which she debuted at the People's Choice Awards – are gone, replaced by a burst of curly dark hair tucked under a hat.

Lea Michele seems to be taking this whole beach bum thing quite literally.
Permalink | Filed Under: Glee, Lea Michele
The year 2013 had its ups – but unfortunately it was the downs that generated the most page views on PEOPLE.com.
Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy always had a vision for how the groundbreaking FOX show would end, but when Cory Monteith died in July, that vision died with him.
Murphy revealed that ending to those close to the star when he eulogized Monteith at a private memorial service shortly after his death.
Now, five months after Monteith died from a heroin and alcohol overdose, he also shares it with the world.
"The ending of Glee is something I have never shared with anyone, but I always knew it," Murphy discloses in an excerpt of the eulogy just published in Entertainment Weekly. "At the end of season 6, Lea [Michele]'s Rachel was going to have become a big Broadway star, the role she was born to play. Finn was going to have become a teacher, settled down happily in Ohio, at peace with his choice and no longer feeling like a Lima loser."
Murphy had mapped it out so clearly that he even had the last line of dialogue written in his head: "Rachel comes back to Ohio, fulfilled and yet not, and walks into Finn's glee club. 'What are you doing here?' he would ask. 'I'm home,' she would reply. Fade out. The end."

Lea Michele is taking some time to unwind.

Dot-Marie Jones is a married woman!
The Glee star and her longtime girlfriend, Bridgett Casteen, exchanged vows at their Los Angeles home Saturday night, their rep confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.
Close friends of Jones, 49, and Casteen were invited to a holiday party at the couple's home. The duo then surprised their guests by informing them that they were actually gathered to witness their nuptials.
Lea Michele is finding comfort in those closest to her and in her music.
"My family has experienced a lot of loss in their life and they've been so wonderful in being there for me and giving me the strength I need," the Glee star told PEOPLE at the L'Oreal Women of Worth event on Tuesday.
Michele, 27, who will release the first single, Cannonball, off her debut album on Dec. 10, says the song that she recorded in August following the loss of her boyfriend Cory Monteith is "more than just a song to me. It completely helped to lift me up at a time where I needed it."

Chord Overstreet of Glee was so stunned by his celebrity crush, Sandra Bullock, that he was unable to introduce himself to her.
"I've actually never met her," Overstreet admitted on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Monday. "I saw her from a distance at one of these red carpet things and it was a little, a little bit like too scared to talk to her. She was that beautiful."
But when DeGeneres invited Overstreet, 24, to ask out the Gravity actress on camera, he jumped at the opportunity and pleaded for Bullock, 49, to answer him quickly.

While Lea Michele continues to grieve the loss of boyfriend Cory Monteith, the light at the end of her tunnel appears to be getting a little brighter.
"Lea is doing much better," a source close to the Glee star tells PEOPLE.
The days and weeks since Monteith's death in July from a lethal mix of heroin and alcohol were "so hard" for the actress, says the source, but Michele has found solace in her work both on the set of her Fox show and while shooting a video for her upcoming album over the weekend.
