Baron Davis leaves Cavaliers due to death in family
Mar 9, 2011, 12:42 PM EDT
Baron Davis has looked pretty good in his three games with the Cavaliers, scoring 18 points a game on 47.5 percent shooting (60 points better than what he did for the Clippers). He's also hitting 55.6 percent of his threes.
But now he's gone for a few games.
Davis has left the team to be with his family after the death of his grandmother, according to a tweet from Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon Journal. No date for his return has been set.
Davis came to the Cavaliers as part of a trade deadline deal where the Cavaliers got the Clippers first round pick this season for Mo Williams. Los Angeles wanted out from under Davis' contract, which motivated the deal.

Price for Baptism gown?
I posted that I am making a Baptism gown out of a wedding gown for the daughter of someone from my church. The gown was quite a challeng because of the hem. It took me 2 1/2 hours just to lay the pattern pieces out and another 2 hours just to cut the pieces. I knew I couldn't make a mistake with it.
I am finished (except for the buttons) and my total time was 8 1/2 hours. Plus, I'm making a bonnet and slip, which I'm just starting.
My biggest problem is price. A seamstress told me to start at $200 and go up from there. I also figured approximately 10 hours total and if I charge $20 per hour, that's also $200. I just feel terrible charging that much for the gown. Maybe I'm a cheap person but I would never pay that much.
Could someone offer an opinion on price here???
I can imagine how hard it feels to be in that situation.
If you are thinking you are a cheap person, then I am cheap, too.
Some people pay $200 for themselves or for their kids and it's not a problem. For me, that would be a lot. Every one has different thresholds of what they are willing to pay for things.
It sounds like you did not mention any price before the project began. How well do you know this person from your Church? Do you know the daughter, as well?
Maybe you should just let her know how many hours it took and then let her suggest a price. It's akward because if you don't really sew for a business/profession, then it is kind of like doing a favor for a friend.
You put a lot of time and care into this project. People who don't sew have little idea of how much time and thought goes into it. Make sure they are aware of the hours you spent....otherwise, they might think you spent an hour instead of 10 hours.
Hopefully, someone else will give you some other ideas of how to handle this. I've never been in this situation but just wanted to chime in with my 2 cents.
Please let us know how everything works out and post some pictures of the Baptism gown. I bet it's beautiful!
Thanks so much for responding. I just sent her back an e-mail to set up the day next week to pick up the gown. I told her that I spent 12 hours on the gown/slip/bonnet. Most places I found on the web were charging $250 and up,so I suggested $200 (that's only $16 per hour). I also said that since we didn't talk about price before, I felt bad asking so much but I had no idea how many hours it was going to take. I told her that if the $200 is too high, then we can work out something.
I know her mom casually but had never met her before until she brought me the dress.
I definately don't sew for a living and I'm not sure I would want to. It's fun when you're doing it for fun but if I HAD to do it all the itme, it might nor be as much fun anymore.
Sounds to me like you took a wise and reasonable approach.
It's probably also good that you did it through email. This will give them time to think about it before responding. They may even do a little online search and see how much professionals charge for custom baptismal gowns. They will discover that your price is more than fair.
However this turns out, you can know that this gown will be cherished and likely used for any of their future children, grandchildren, etc. That's something very special you did for this family : )
Ideally you should have given them a price up front - but, of course, you hadn't made one before.
$200 is very inexpensive for such a job, and you deserve to be paid for your time. Don't cheat yourself. Your customer should not be shocked at that price.
When I was sewing professionally my goal was to make $20/hour - and that was years ago. Of course, some jobs went more easily and some were more difficult, but I did average that.

Hands down, this is my cannot live without product (next to NARS radiant creamy concealer)! The best TM or BB on the market and absolutely worth the price. I have found that it actually has improved the condition of my skin. If you are debating it, just go try it at Sephora or the NARS counter. It's even way better than the famed Laura Mercier TM...like 100x better!

My new HG product for evening out my skin tone. I've used Revlon Colorstay foundation for years and although I love wearing makeup, I hate feeling like I'm wearing makeup which is exactly how I felt while wearing it. I also hated the smell, it smelled like paint and would sometimes give me a headache.
I have relatively good skin but I just have some redness on my cheeks that I like to cover up so I wanted to transition away from foundations and to find something that could give me some coverage. I definitely didn't want to use heavy foundations for the rest of my life so I decided to look into tinted moisturizers. A lot of people recommended this product in the shade Terre Neuve which is for fair people with pink undertones, and I could not be more happier with it. It actually provides a lot more coverage than I thought that a tinted moisturizer would and it lasts the entire day. It has great SPF (I still wear a sunscreen beneath it, but having a product with SPF in it is always nice) and really gives my skin a nice, healthy glow. I was worried about smelling like sunscreen with this but it actually has a nice lemon-y scent. The lemon-y scent does fade away quickly after application though for those who are afraid of products with fragrance in them.
I love the packaging of the product as well. Revlon Colorstay foundation seriously had the worst packaging and it would just be messy while using up way more product than I wanted. This packaging lets me control how much I want to use so I can hopefully make it last for a long time.
I wish it wasn't so freaking expensive, but the money is worth it for this product. Definitely going to keep re-purchasing it as I've finally found something that evens out my skin tone and feels light on my skin.
UPDATE 1-11-15: Still my HG. :) I love it because it's really natural looking. Looks like my skin but better.

I really wanted to like this product. But, I ended up returning it.
For comparative purposes, I'm around NC45 or C6/7 in MAC and Golden/Almondish in Bobbi Brown. In NARS, I tried both Malaga, which was more of an exact match, and Seychelles, which was a tad bit darker. The saleswoman at Sephora recommended I go with Seychelles, since I would develop more of a tan once summer hit. Seychelles did give me more of a tanned/bronze look. The problem wasn't the shade as much as the texture.
I could feel it sitting on my skin. I felt as though I was wearing a greasy mask; it was awful.This was my main reason for returning it. I have normal/combination skin. Yet, this product left my skin shiny (not a glow). Perhaps this product works better on people with dry skin.
I do feel it provided good coverage, for a tinted moisturizer. But, I found that my Prescriptives (Real Antelope) foundation does a much better job and feels like air on my skin.

Actually this is my first time for using tinted moisturizer.. i've been using BB cream so far, but then i decided to not use it anymore because of my skin problems. This product is quite good, and i'm already in love with it. It gives me a good coverage, and really smoooth!! it feels like you dont put anything on your face. the color St. Moritz matches my skin tone perfectly.. and i also like the scent, like a lemon haha. i have an oily skin during summer, but i can still use it because it doesnt make my face looks that oily..besides, there's SPF 30 too. and you just need a small pea sized so it will last for a long time.
For the price, yeah i think it's quite pricey but i dont regret buying it though..

I actually LOOOVE this tinted moisturiser. Although it is a tinted moisturiser you wouldn't expect a lot of coverage, however this gives your skin a beautiful radiant glow, it literally makes your skin look flawless. Paired with a good coverage concealer, this does wonders to your skin, plus it is so moisturising and doesn't cling to the dry patches unlike some foundations. This looks so natural, and whenever I wear it I get so many compliments on my skin. I have the shade light 0, which is a shade perfect for those with fair skin with more peachy undertones as opposed to those with yellow undertones. The shade range is brilliant, I'm sure there is a shade there for everyone. The only let down is the expensive price tag, however having owned mine for about 2months it feels like I have barely used any, so I reckon it's gonna last for a really long time. overall I must say this is my staple product that I keep in my makeup bag and I use it every single day. LOVE IT :)

Product feels fantastic and gives me a dewey look. Didn't make me break out at all, but I wish it would have had just a little more coverage. The only problem is that it is just so expensive that it stresses me out every time I use it. The packaging is great, and feels soft to the touch.

Recently bought this product and I have the shade Alaska. The colouring matches well but it does oxidize about a quarter of a shade darker. It has yellowish golden tones to it which matches my olive yet fair skin tone. The coverage is ideal for what it is a TM. More coverage than I excepted but I still use concealer for spots and dark pigmentation. It is light weight and great for girls with normal to dry skin for it is hydrating. A great summer TM with SPF.

Tried it when I was looking for a BB cream to try. Tried BB creams for MAC (to red for my golden undertone) and Bobbi Brown (to light and to dark after trying 2 shades). Came across this in Sephora. Tried Malaga and it was a perfect match. Will try Seychelles for the summer when I tan. It doesn't feel light nor heavy, more in between. The packaging is small in size, but still a small amount goes a long way; a use a little less than pea size amount. So the fact that so little does so much can make it worth the expensive cost of $42. It does make the skin look oily after a couple of hours, so use a good primer or oil free moisturizer that absorbs oil.

First let me give you a brief history of my skin: -extremely sensitive (like really, my skin turns bright red and BURNS if something it doesn't like is on my face) -hyperpigmentation (from moderate hormonal acne treatments) -dry/flaky cheeks Now, I got this product as a sample in my previous sephora order and I busted it out to try since it's getting really hot in Canada and I don't want to wear foundation anymore. Let me tell you, I didn't use primer or anything under it, just moisturizer without my SPF. When I applied it, I was so surprised how great it felt on my skin and what really blew me away was the coverage. Let me tell you darling, usually nothing can cover my hyperpigmentation (on me cheeks, around the nose) but HOLY MOTHER! It blurred it all out and I was so amazed by it! After I let it sit, I applied just a tiny bit of my MAC prolong wear concealer on my cheeks and voila, I left the house satisfied. Usually I couldn't wear my concealer-- or anything to cover my scarring without flaking, but this lasted all day. Zero flakes. Zero dry spots. I'm so content with this. I will definitely purchase the full bottle when I use every single bit of the sample left because in Canada it's super expensive ($59)

My skin has recently improved a lot and I decided to make the switch from foundation (luminous silk) to a tinted moisturiser for my everyday makeup. WOW WOW WOW This has got the be the best tinted moisturiser I have ever tried. The only downside is that it doesn't last all day and it can get a bit oily towards the end of the day (So maybe avoid this if you have oily skin). The colour range is great, coverage is amazing and the finish is just stunning. My skin looks flawless and fresh. Has spf30 so this will be perfect for the summer. Smells good. HG!!!

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
27 Aug 2014 21:08 GMT | Politics, Europe, France, Christine Lagarde, IMF
Christine Lagarde, the chief of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), has been placed under formal investigation in a corruption probe that dates back to her days as France's finance minister.
The inquiry relates to allegations that tycoon Bernard Tapie, a supporter of Conservative former president Nicolas Sarkozy, was improperly awarded $531m in arbitration to settle a dispute with the now defunct, state-owned bank Credit Lyonnais.
Largarde's lawyer Yves Repiquet told the Reuters news agency that Lagarde was this week questioned by magistrates in Paris for a fourth time under her existing status as a witness in the long-running saga.
"We are appealing it," Repiquet said by telephone, adding that his client, who was due to return to IMF headquarters in Washington later on Wednesday, had no plans to resign.
In a statement earlier in the day, Lagarde said the decision was "without basis".
"After three years of proceedings, dozens of hours of questioning, the court found from the evidence that I committed no offense, and the only allegation is that I was not sufficiently vigilant," she said.
Indications of wrongdoing
In French law, magistrates place someone under official investigation when they believe there are indications of wrongdoing, but that does not always lead to a trial.
The inquiry has already embroiled several of Sarkozy's cabinet members and France Telecom chief executive Stephane Richard, who was an aide to Lagarde when she was finance minister.
In previous rounds of questioning, Lagarde accused Richard of having used her pre-printed signature to sign off on a document facilitating the payment, local media has said.
However, Richard has stated that Lagarde was fully briefed on the matter.
Investigators are trying to determine whether Tapie's political connections played a role in the government's decision to resort to arbitration that won him the huge pay-out.
Critics have said the 2008 deal was too generous, and was symptomatic of the cozy relationship between money and power in France.
Al Jazeera's Jonah Hull, reporting from Paris, said Lgarde is going to report back to the board of the IMF in Washington and explain her situation.
"Up to now, she's been supported by the board. We're told that last year they discussed all possible outcomes of this investigation and decided that she was fit to continue to lead," he said.
"Up until today, she's only been considered a witness in this case. But now she's under formal investigation."
The offence of negligence by a person charged with public responsibility in France carries a maximum penalty of one year's imprisonment and a $20,000 fine.

Clumping bamboo
Is anyone here familiar with clumping bamboo? I thought all bamboo was invasive until someone on the MS/LA forum mentioned it last year. I did a quick search and it sounds ideal ... doesn't run, grows fast to provide screening, and the birds love it. I'm wondering how easy/difficult it'll be to find.
I found this place on google:
Bamboo Gardens of Louisiana
38124 Highway 440
Mt Hermon, LA 70450
(985) 795-2300
Don't know how far from you that is.
Here is a link that might be useful: mosobamboo
It's a ways, but you made me realize I should have googled, lol. Looks like there are a few nurseries closer in, so I'll probably start asking locally and go from there.
Found this too ... Golden Goddess ... isn't it gorgeous!
Another thing googling turned up ... a bamboo forum here. Had no idea. Haven't read anything yet, but I added it to my bookmarks.
Here is a link that might be useful: Bamboo forum
I bought some clumping bamboo from Bamboo Headquarters over the Internet. It is pretty and clumping, i.e. non-invasive. But is not that easy to find locally. And over the internet it is more expensive.
They have a big bamboo thingy in Austin, at Zilker Park every year. Google it, you would really enjoy it. They have so many varieties, it will boggle your mind.
Don't let someone well you 'clumping' bamboo that really isn't 'clumping'.
Run your fingers and thumb up and down between the nodes on the bamboo stalk. The clumping bamboo will be smooooooth! The running bamboo will have a groove, that runs the entire length, between the nodes.
Good Luck!

Jackson Browne takes the State Theatre stage on Friday.
Photo: DAVID BREWSTER• Star Tribune,
Already a few years older than the age of its average attendee, the Warped Tour marks its 20th anniversary with an all-day lineup that very much emphasizes it's for the kids. Aside from "1985" novelty hitmakers Bowling From Soup and '90s ska punks Less Than Jake, most folks over 30 probably don't recognize a single band name on the lineup. But it's actually a strong and even somewhat diverse lineup of punk, metal, rap and indie-rock, also with the Devil Wears Prada, Yellowcard, K. Flay, Saves the Day, Of Mice and Men, Every Time I Die, Cute Is What We Aim For, Beartooth, MC Chris, the Summer Set and dozens more. (11 a.m. Sun., Canterbury Park Festival Field, $35.50-$45.) Riemenschneider
Jackson Browne will surround himself with 18 acoustic guitars and a piano. The tougher choice is not which instrument to play — but which song to sing. Even though he hasn't released an album since 2008's socio-political "Time the Conqueror," the Rock Hall of Famer has a marvelous catalog to choose from for this solo acoustic show. Maybe he'll opt for material from "Late for the Sky," which will be remastered and reissued in a 30th-anniversary edition this year. Many of his best pieces are featured on this year's top-notch tribute album, "Looking Into You," interpreted by an all-star cast including Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Don Henley, Lyle Lovett, Lucinda Williams and Keb Mo. And Browne will likely give a shout-out to his Minnesota cousins and talk about his mother being from here. (8 p.m. Fri. State Theatre, $57.50-$104.) Jon Bream
First Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks announced their intentions to leave the Allman Brothers, and then Gregg Allman announced his plans to disband the group after a few October concerts in New York City. That hopefully means that Haynes may focus more on his own group, Gov't Mule, demonstrating how to put first-rate blues-rock-jazz solos into a jam band. And don't underestimate the Mule's songwriting prowess; if you need evidence, check out last year's two-disc "Shout" on which the likes of Elvis Costello, Dr. John, Grace Potter, Dave Matthews, Jim James and Steve Winwood tackle Haynes' tunes. (7:30 p.m. Fri. Minnesota Zoo, $35 & $47.50.) Bream
Having long ago scrapped the bawdy frat-boy rock that first made him a star on the Texas music circuit — and got him banned from the Basilica Block Party — Austin singer/songwriter Bob Schneider sounds more sophisticated and serious than ever on his light, folky new album "Burden of Proof," for which he enlisted the Tosca Strings for elegant accompaniment and a whole lot of heartache. Civil Wars-like duo Dawn & Hawkes open. (8:30 p.m. Fri., Varsity Theater, $20-$22.) Chris Riemenschneider
Marc Cohn has played at the Minnesota Zoo so often that he must be on a first-name basis with all the zookeepers. Well, when Cher is touring the world covering your biggest song ("Walking in Memphis"), you can stand proud. But the raspy-voiced piano man hasn't built a career on just one song. "Silver Thunderbird" and "True Companion" also received lots of radio play — at least when Cities 97 was "adult-alternative" — and Cohn is an engaging, soulful live performer. His latest recorded effort is a tune, "Too Many Angels," on the splendid, all-star Jackson Browne tribute album, "Looking Into You." (7:30 p.m. Sat. Minnesota Zoo, $47 & $59.50.) Bream
Best known as the mouthpiece of the 1990s group October Project, Mary Fahl has a full, robust voice and a sense of adventure. In 2011, she reimagined Pink Floyd tunes on "From the Dark Side of the Moon." On last year's "Love & Gravity," her fifth solo effort, she went minimalist and melancholy. (8 p.m. Sat. Dakota, $28.) Bream
Ben Watt, the less visible half of Everything But the Girl, has released his first solo album in 30 years. "Hendra" is filled with, as Rolling Stone put it, "raging peacefulness." For Watt's first U. S. solo tour, expect an evening of intimacy and sadness. The singer/keyboardist will be accompanied by guitarist Bernard Butler, formerly of Suede and producer of Duffy's blockbuster "Rockferry" album. (7 & 10 p.m. Sat. Bryant-Lake Bowl, $20.) Bream
Just a month after making its local debut at the Triple Rock, Greg Ginn's remade version of his influential Los Angeles punk band Black Flag can walk back into town with a little swagger. The young, scrappy rhythm section and Ginn's unmistakable guitar work helped make the previous show feel like more than just a tribute. Same openers as before: Cinema Cinema and Ginn's theramin-enhanced solo act the Royal We. (8:30 p.m. Sun., Amsterdam Bar & Hall, $15-$20.) Riemenschneider
A college jock turned sexplicit but sometimes tender R&B singer/rapper — with bikini babes in his videos and AutoTune all over his records — Mike Stud earned viral fame last year with his "College Humor" clip, which he made with his fellow Duke University athletes in an apparent effort to set their program's sexist reputation back even further. He's no joke, though. His debut album, "Closer," topped Pandora's music charts upon its release last week. The world is a strange and cruel place. (7 p.m. Tue., First Avenue, all ages, $17-$20.) Riemenschneider

Written After A Visit To Birds Paddock Poem by Francis Duggan
On the gum trees at Birds Paddock crested cockies squawk and call
And the magpies flute their sweetest notes as shades of darkness fall
And the kookaburras laughing, laughing all of their cares away
At Birds Paddock in Tecoma in the gloaming of the day.
To the reed beds for night shelter coot and eastern swamphen fly
And the wild duck back from feeding grounds are circling in the sky
Before coming in for landing on the waters of Birds lake
To rest and sleep and dream their dreams till first ray of daybreak.
O'er Birds Paddock in Tecoma night has spread it's darkened cloak
And the day creatures now resting and night creatures wide awoke
In the reed beds at the lake shore the shy and timid frogs croak
And I hear familiar call sound of nocturnal bird mopoke.
O'er Birds Paddock in Tecoma countless stars are twinkling bright
And I'll leave this wild life sanctuary to the shy birds of the night,
To the barn owls and the frogmouths and the mopokes and nightgars
To hunt in Tecoma gum woods in the faint light of the stars.

Series:Mahima Home India
Aired: Sunday Mar 29 2015
Title: "Clothed from the Power on High" - Part 3
"Do not profane your daughter by making her a prostitute, lest the land fall into prostitution and the land become full of depravity." Leviticus 19:29
Calcutta, India is a breeding ground for predators in the sex trade industry. It is difficult to get reliable statistics, but some estimate the number of young girls bought and sold to be in the tens of thousands. The girls are lured by promises of work and an escape from poverty, but instead are forced into horrendous abuse and bondage. Escape is nearly impossible, but people like Smita Singh and the staff at Mahima Home rescue these girls by literally removing them from the many brothels that line the streets of Calcutta.
