Towering organic sculpture to be exhibited in New York
By Stu Robarts
February 10, 2014
A tower made of organic bricks has won the Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program 2014. Hy-Fi, conceived by New York architecture firm The Living, is a circular sculpture that will be built with bricks grown from corn stalks and living root structures. It will be exhibited outside MoMA PS1 in Long Island City.
Hy-Fi uses a method of bio-design that employs reflective growing trays (which are incorporated into the final structure) as molds for organic bricks that will be grown from a mycelium mixture. They will be grown at a local manufacturing facility, David Benjamin of The Living told Gizmag.
"The bricks take about five days to grow and there will be multiple grow cycles over about two months to manufacture all of the bricks," he says. "The tower will be constructed with typical brick and mortar construction methods, aided by a precise 3D model and new augmented reality tools."
According to Benjamin, the tower will take a few weeks to construct on-site. It will be 100 percent organic and fully recyclable, with the growing trays being used for another project afterwards and the organic bricks being fully compostable
According to MoMA, Hy-Fi will create its own micro-climate by, "drawing in cool air at the bottom and pushing out hot air at the top." It is also expected to create some dramatic lighting effects due to the different angles at which light will shine on the structure and reflect off the mirrored growing trays.
"The exhibit will offer otherworldly experiences of light, views, enclosure and micro-climates, explains Benjamin. "It will also point to a future with a healthy approach to waste, energy, and carbon."
The Young Architects Program is an annual competition that gives emerging architects the chance to showcase innovative, temporary installations in the courtyard outside MoMA PS1, and provide a setting for the Warm Up Summer Music Series.
Participants are asked to submit designs that provide shade, seating and water, as well address environmental issues, such as sustainability and recycling. The event, in its 15th year, is now also held internationally with contests in Istanbul, Rome and Santiago.
Last year's winner was "Party Wall" by design studio CODA.

A story about an art installation, and what is in the comments section... more denigration and negative comments. Always negative comments.steveraxx
Mycelium growth releases carbon dioxide - somewhat misleading to jump on the "healthy carbon" wagon here I'm thinking?christopher
I think I would be a bit worried about walking inside this structure. It does look very stable. We don't know anything about the structural strength of the bricks, and if they are readily compostable what happens when it rains? Mushrooms have a habit of dissolving into liquid, after their primary function of spore dispersal has taken place.
This project would be best left as a concept, but a bit pointless otherwise, IMHO.windykites1
Corn stalks and living root structures are compressable. If the tower will be constructed with typical brick and mortar construction methods, then the mortar will be hard and inflexible. Ain't gonna work.
So it is "100 percent organic and fully recyclable." So are traditional clay bricks.
If this is an art exhibit, fine; say so. It's not a building.piperTom

Indicators... well I can't just keep turning right can I?
Hmmm, the indicator switch in the left hand switchgear on the STD1 has failed mid journey, like they sometimes do. And after all it is 25 years old, the poor thing.
The particular way it broke meant that the right hand indicators were on all the time. I was in a bit of a rush so the fastest thing to do was to pull the lower fuse in the little fuse box under the underseat tool tray*. Unfortunately this also means you lose the brake light & horn & whatever else runs through that fuse. But as a momentary solution it got me to where I had to be by the time I had to be there.
After a brief fiddle just now I've solved it for the moment by pulling the indicator relay, which is under the rear right of the tank on this variation, but the issue still remains as while the horn & brake light etc. work again with the reinsertion of the fuse, I've now got no indicators. It's the switch itself that's borked so I'll have to see if I can a) repair it, b) get a new unit to insert, or 3) replace the entire switchgear on the left hand grip** A switch repair or replacement is a bit of a pain to do due to the way the indicator toggle switch is housed within the pressed plastic unit inside, but it'll be the cheapest way to go
I can get a cheap or free L/hand switchgear. Pretty please?
Also - Please send Spanish harlots pronto, or at least Christina Ricci. This won't help with the indicators n shit, but believe me it'll help
* It's an '85 don't forget, which has relocated relays & fuses. If the fuses were still in the headlight that would be a nightmare with the RT fairing etc. I can see why people modify it to relocate the fuses on the earlier model, which I seem to recall had been done on DBDs first donor bike?
** This looks the most likely to me I must say.
Of course if I were riding this road, wouldn't need indicators -

Bash Process Substitution
In addition to the fairly common forms of input/output redirection the shell recognizes something called process substitution. Although not documented as a form of input/output redirection, its syntax and its effects are similar.
The syntax for process substitution is:
<(list) or >(list)where each list is a command or a pipeline of commands. The effect of process substitution is to make each list act like a file. This is done by giving the list a name in the file system and then substituting that name in the command line. The list is given a name either by connecting the list to named pipe or by using a file in /dev/fd (if supported by the O/S). By doing this, the command simply sees a file name and is unaware that its reading from or writing to a command pipeline.
To substitute a command pipeline for an input file the syntax is:
command ... <(list) ...To substitute a command pipeline for an output file the syntax is:
command ... >(list) ...
At first process substitution may seem rather pointless, for example you might imagine something simple like:
uniq <(sort a)to sort a file and then find the unique lines in it, but this is more commonly (and more conveniently) written as:
sort a | uniqThe power of process substitution comes when you have multiple command pipelines that you want to connect to a single command.
For example, given the two files:
# cat a e d c b a # cat b g f e d c bTo view the lines unique to each of these two unsorted files you might do something like this:
# sort a | uniq >tmp1 # sort b | uniq >tmp2 # comm -3 tmp1 tmp2 a f g # rm tmp1 tmp2With process substitution we can do all this with one line:
# comm -3 <(sort a | uniq) <(sort b | uniq) a f g
Depending on your shell settings you may get an error message similar to:
syntax error near unexpected token `('when you try to use process substitution, particularly if you try to use it within a shell script. Process substitution is not a POSIX compliant feature and so it may have to be enabled via:
set +o posixBe careful not to try something like:
if [[ $use_process_substitution -eq 1 ]]; then set +o posix comm -3 <(sort a | uniq) <(sort b | uniq) fiThe command set +o posix enables not only the execution of process substitution but the recognition of the syntax. So, in the example above the shell tries to parse the process substitution syntax before the "set" command is executed and therefore still sees the process substitution syntax as illegal.
Of course, note that all shells may not support process substitution, these examples will work with bash.

Brothers Casey and Jesse Cooper are capable illusionists. They want you to believe in the majesty of Decades, the debut album from their band, the Receiver. Their brand of indie chamber pop is airy, almost shapeless at times. Casey's breathy tenor, not unlike David Gilmour's, closely follows his melodies, floating along as an understated element in a baroque mix that includes his bass and keyboards, Jesse's drumming, French horn from Lindsay Ciulla, and the many strings of Anthony Rogers. Fortunately, the music is quite pretty, an artful post-rock with a throwback indebtedness to the Alan Parsons Project. And it might be for the best that Casey's lyrics aren't at the fore. Although not amateurish, Cooper's vague wanderings through his existential angst betray his youth. "In Tunnels" is a metaphor. "Waves" is a metaphor. "Goliath", too, is probably a metaphor. I'm not sure which giant foe Casey/David is battling here, but Columbus, Ohio's the Receiver deal primarily in broad, impressionistic sweeps, anyway. If you need delineations, hard angles, straightforward declarations, then this album isn't made for you. But, if you can let go and float along with the Cooper brothers, their Decades is a lovely little escape.

Who needs humans? Computers used to teach other computers
By Ben Coxworth
April 2, 2014
While it may be getting easier for humans to teach robots how to perform new tasks, there's still one potential problem – when a new robot is introduced to a work environment, its user may have to teach it the task over again, from scratch. That might soon no longer be the case, however. Researchers at Washington State University have devised a method by which computers can teach each other, freeing humans from having to do so.
The technique mirrors the way in which a human teacher and student would interact, and has so far been used to teach "student" computers how to play Pac-Man and StarCraft.
The algorithms utilized are based around telling the "teacher" computer – the one that already knows how to play the games – when to advise the student computer to take action, and when to let it simply learn by doing. This is a crucial component of any teacher/student relationship, as the student won't know what to do if too little advice is offered, yet they'll never truly understand what's involved in a task if they're always simply following instructions.
Lead scientist Matthew E. Taylor is currently designing a curriculum for the teacher computers that starts with relatively simple tasks, but builds up to ones that are more complex. He's also looking at incorporating principles from dog training into his technique.
Taylor acknowledges that it's sometimes possible to simply transfer the trained "brains" of one robot into another, although this sometimes doesn't work due to software or hardware conflicts. Additionally, he hopes that the technology can be used not only to let computers/robots teach one another, but also to let them teach humans.
A quick overview of his research can be seen in the video below.

Talk of stagflation has increased over the last few months. Below are the latest entries in the dialog.
Real gross domestic product grew rapidly in the first quarter of this year, but the anticipated moderation of economic growth seems now to be under way. Consumer spending, which makes up more than two-thirds of total spending, has decelerated noticeably in recent months. One source of this deceleration is higher energy prices, which have had an adverse impact on real household incomes and weighed on consumer attitudes. As had been expected, recent readings also indicate that the housing market is cooling, partly in response to increases in mortgage rates. To be sure, the data on home sales and construction have been somewhat erratic from month to month, reflecting weather conditions, statistical noise, and other factors. However, overall, housing activity has softened relative to the high levels of last summer, and the rate of house-price appreciation appears to have lessened. A slowing of the real estate market will likely have the effect of restraining other forms of household spending as well, as homeowners no longer experience increases in the equity value of their homes at the rapid pace seen in recent years.
Here is the Fed Speak translation: the economy is slowing. People are spending less and the housing market is cooling off.
Bernanke continues:
Consumer price inflation has been elevated so far this year, due in large part to increases in energy prices. Core inflation readings--that is, measures excluding the prices of food and energy--have also been higher in recent months. While monthly inflation data are volatile, core inflation measured over the past three to six months has reached a level that, if sustained, would be at or above the upper end of the range that many economists, including myself, would consider consistent with price stability and the promotion of maximum long-run growth. For example, at annual rates, core inflation as measured by the consumer price index excluding food and energy prices was 3.2 percent over the past three months and 2.8 percent over the past six months. For core inflation based on the price index for personal consumption expenditures, the corresponding three-month and six-month figures are 3.0 percent and 2.3 percent. These are unwelcome developments.
Here is the Fed Speak translation: inflation is higher than we want it to be. The markets interpreted this speech as indicating the Fed would continue raising rates. This was the event that sent the markets tumbling. I should note Bernanke's speech yesterday appeared to mollify traders concerned about the path of interest rates.
Speaking before the Economic Club of Chicago, Bernanke said inflation expectations had "fallen back somewhat" and that the impact of high energy prices on the economy has been limited. That offset worries from earlier this week when core consumer and producer price data rose above expectations.
His comments suggested the Fed may have room to pause in its two-year-long cycle of interest rate hikes in the next few months, investors said. Fed fund futures have fully priced in an interest rate hike at the Fed's next policy meeting on June 28-29.
Bernanke needs to work on his public relations abilities.
Two articles from yesterday's news highlight the growing talk of stagflation. First is this article from the LA Times:
The consumer price index, the prices consumers pay for goods and services, rose 0.4% in May, in line with expectations, the government reported Wednesday. But core consumer prices, which exclude volatile energy and food costs, increased 0.3%, above the expected 0.2%.
A day earlier, the government reported that producer prices excluding energy and food rose faster than expected last month.
The series of bad inflation news makes it all but certain, economists say, that the Fed will raise its key short-term interest rate by 0.25 percentage point to 5.25% when its policy-setting committee meets this month.
A separate Fed survey of regional economic conditions released Wednesday showed that the economy was slowing, led by declines in home sales and manufacturing, and that inflation was on the rise.
Other recent data -- including retail sales, employment and wage data from April and May -- suggest that the Fed's previous rate hikes are slowing the economy. Economists said more increases by the Fed would run the risk of inducing a recession -- and wouldn't have much effect on inflation anyway because it was largely driven by the global demand for oil.
"The economy could be facing a bout with stagflation," said Peter Morici, a University of Maryland business school professor. "My feeling is we're headed for a tragedy here."
Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, said he also viewed stagflation as a possibility as credit tightening further damps the housing market and puts a crimp on the spending of homeowners.
"The May price data provides grounds for concern on several fronts," he said.
"I think we're in for some tough times."
There is also this article from the Asia Times Online:
Core producer prices - producer prices less food and energy - rose 0.3% in May. This was consistent with the consensus of forecasters and raises the likelihood that the Fed will raise interest rates. Inflation remains above Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's target range. The only question now is how many more interest rate hikes will we get? The outlook for inflation is significantly colored by energy prices.
Gasoline prices surged in May. The average retail price of gasoline in May was $2.95 per gallon, up from $2.79 in April. Gas prices hit $2.99 per gallon on May 15 but then eased. In June gas prices are rising and will likely surge as the July 4 weekend approaches.
Until recently, strong productivity gains have permitted producers of most final goods and services to absorb higher fuel prices and wage increases without pushing up prices too much. However, May increases in both core producer and consumer prices indicate that energy price increases are spreading widely through the economy, and the hawks will have the upper hand at the June Fed meeting.
All of these stories point to the same thing. The economy is slowing and inflation is becoming a concern. Productivity gains may not be able to absorb these increases, which will force producers to pass-on the increased prices to consumers. More importantly, energy is causing the basic problems. Energy costs are like water; they seep into every economic nook and cranny. Energy is consumed from extraction of raw materials to the consumer buying an item and driving it home. It's everywhere. As energy rises, prices all along the supply chain increase.
All of this is just talk. However, more people are talking about the same thing, implying the evidence is pointing people to the same conclusion.
Update [2006-6-16 9:6:29 by bonddad]:: The following is from Fed Governor Poole of the St. Loius Fed from a speech yesterday.
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President William Poole warned Friday that rising gasoline and oil prices may be adding to inflation pressures in a way not detected by current data.
"Statistical studies to detect pass-through from recent energy price increases have failed to show significant effects in U.S. price data, but stories about widespread pass-through are becoming increasingly common," Poole said in comments delivered to a South Korean banking conference.
In other words, the official inflation meausres may be understating inflation.

Thank you so very much for making Lucy and Chris's Wedding Day so very special.
From the very first visit we all knew we had made the right choice.
Every detail was planned to perfection. The welcome was so very friendly and all our ideas and requests were met with helpfulness and a desire to please and with excellent alternative suggestions.
The preciseness of the planning was second to none and we all knew well in advance what to expect.
However, we had no idea how PERFECT it was going to be.
The day began in a very relaxed manner with us all feeling so special as we were getting ready.
And from the first guests arriving to the last ones leaving it was faultless.
The food and service was amazing and everyone commented on how very impressed they were.
Lucy, Chris, Oliver and Freddie couldn't have had a better start to the next part of their journey as a family.
So we would like to say a very big thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our happy family day so very special.
Many many thanks

Six of us enjoyed a pre-Valentine's day meal and a friends Birthday on Saturday the 13th of February. The food was all excellent and served piping hot. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. We were all very satisfied and had a very relaxed and contented afternoon.
I took my mum here for a birthday meal and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection, the service was impeccable and the decor made the dining exxperience wonderful, will definitely return, I'm considering booking here for my looming 40th birthday!
Enjoyed a lovely evening with the hubby for a Pre-Valentine's Day meal. We arrived and were shown to our seats, the staff were helpful and were quick to take our order. We ordered and our starters came, they were lovely. I had the soup which was piping hot and my hubby had the Scotch egg, he didn't want it to end. Our mains arrived, they were generous portions and we dug in straight away. We had the chilli lamb burger and the chick pea and sweet potato curry. I would definitely recommend and would definitely go back.
"Amazing Wedding Day"
Can't thank the hotel enough for making our wedding so perfect!
We got married at Hotel Van Dyk in October and from start to finish the whole day ran so smoothly with everything being just how we wanted it. I can't thank the wedding co-ordinator, Jade, who was with us throughout the day, enough for ensuring the day was just how we wanted it - really perfect in every way.
The wedding team at the hotel are amazing, both Natalie and Jade worked with us on the run up to the wedding and no question was ever too small which really put my mind at ease and helped so much in the planning process.
The wedding breakfast was amazing (one of the guests at the wedding commented on how they had been to 7 weddings this year and by far the one at Van Dyks had the best food!).
We have wonderful memories of our day which will stay with us forever and I am so pleased we chose Hotel Van Dyk for a venue.
"A Wonderful Place To Eat"
Thank you to all of our customers who provide valuable feedback on Trip Advisor, we would like to share with you a couple.
"I have lost count the number of times I have eaten at Van Dyks, and they never disappoint. The staff are friendly and the food is delicious. There is one little fault and it is little believe me. They used to have a different menu for the Bowden Restaurant with fillet steak on etc. Now they have the same menu for The Grill and The Bowden. That said I don't intend to stop going I love it there."
We are finalists in the Wedding Awards
Hotel Van Dyk have been selected has a finalist in 'The Wedding Industry Awards 2015'. We have been placed in the category 'Countryside Venue' for the East Midlands.
If successful we will then go through to the national final, with the national awards event taking place in London in January 2015.
Afternoon Tea
Today we attended at Van Dykes for afternoon tea after buying an amazon local voucher. It was great value for money and the food was excellent. There was plenty to eat and drink and I would day this was by far the best afternoon tea we have had. There was far too much food to eat all in one go, however the waitress was kind enough to wrap it up for us to take home. I would definitely recommend Van Dykes
Stayed October 2014, travelled as a couple
Our Dreams really did come true!
January 2014 saw Hotel Van Dyk launch its largest ever Wedding Promotion by giving away a complete Dream wedding package, valued at £3,995.
Promoted throughout the region, the offer was an incredible succes with over 200 entrants and record
numbers of visitors to the hotel.
Then, April arrived and the draw was made for the lucky winners.
Victoria and Peter from Worksop were drawn from the hat, a local couple who had already booked their Wedding at Hotel Van Dyk where amazed that not only had they been entered for the competition, because they had already booked their Wedding...but now they had won.
They were notified of the outcome and were both over the moon. Victoria said "This really is a 'dream' come true, were really delighted with our choice of Hotel Van Dyk as our Wedding venue and when we won the
competition our dreams became reality."
Peter commented "Its the best venue in the area, the quality of the hotel, its grounds and rooms are amazing, the wedding co-ordinators are first class, people that we could trust to delivered us a truly magical day...thanks to everyone at Hotel Van Dyk...we where so happy to hold our wedding there".
The Wedding Team at the hotel were equally as thrilled, " It gave us an opportunity to speak to over 200 Brides and Grooms and share their expectations, the lucky couple where a delight, we really enjoyed making sure they had a perfect day".

Latest Trip Advisor Reviews
Hotel Van Dyk are very pleased to share the fantastic Trip Advisor reviews that we receive. Thank you to all of our customers who have shared their experiences.
The most beautiful wedding
I didn't stay at the hotel for the wedding bu overnight, based on the rest of the hotel, I wish I had. We arrived at Van Dyk's at lunchtime, as the ceremony was at 13.30. It looks very unassuming as you turn onto the drive from the road, but the gardens & decking area are very pretty & made for some lovely photos.
The hotel itself is very stylishly decorated, and the staff are very helpful & polite, nothing was too much trouble. The wedding meal was absolutely beautiful, and I will be back to sample the normal daily menu.
The drinks are obviously pricier than normal, but that is to be expected in such a venue.
This was honestly one of the best weddings I have been to in a long time &, apart from the fabulous company, it was the effort put in by Van Dyk's & their staff that made it so special.

Cat scratch disease is an infection with Bartonella bacteria that is believed to be transmitted by cat scratches and bites.
Cat scratch disease is caused by Bartonella henselae. The disease is spread through contact with an infected cat (a bite or scratch), or contact with cat saliva on broken skin or the mucosal surfaces.
A person who has had contact with an infected cat may show common symptoms, including:
Less common symptoms may include:
If you have swollen lymph nodes and a scratch or bite from a cat, your health care provider may suspect cat scratch disease.
A physical examination may reveal an enlarged spleen.
Occasionally, an infected lymph node may form a tunnel (fistula) through the skin and drain (leak fluid).
This disease is often not found because it is hard to diagnose. However, the Bartonella henselae IFA test from the blood is an accurate way to detect the infection caused by these bacteria, but must be considered with other information from your medical history, lab tests, or biopsy.
A lymph node biopsy may also be done to look for other causes of swollen glands.
Generally, cat scratch disease is not serious. Medical treatment may not be needed. In some cases, treatment with antibiotics such as azithromycin can be helpful. Other antibiotics may be used including clarithromycin, rifampin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, or ciprofloxacin.
In AIDS patients and other people who have a weakened immune system, cat scratch disease is more serious, and treatment with antibiotics is recommended.
Children who have a normal immune system should recover fully without treatment. In people with a suppressed immune system, treatment with antibiotics usually leads to recovery.
Call your health care provider if you have enlarged lymph nodes and you have been exposed to a cat.
Avoid contact with cats to prevent the disease. If this is not possible, wash your hands thoroughly after playing with a cat, avoid scratches and bites, and avoid cat saliva to reduce your risk of infection.

David Tutera is back for a new round of event planning with his new show, David Tutera's CELEBrations, which airs Fridays on WE tv.
But besides seeing him plan glamorous parties for the likes of Taylor Armstrong, JWoww and Lil Kim, Tutera's new show also includes a glimpse into his personal life with his new partner, Joey, and baby daughter, Cielo.
RadarOnline.com got the chance to catch up with Tutera and he opened up all about his new show and the family drama going on in his life.
PHOTOS: Extravagance: 10 Most Outrageous Celebrity Proposal Engagement Photos
Radar: What are you most excited about for this new show?
Tutera: I love the fact that this season is all about celebrities. And what the viewer will love is that I am the only show, if not the first show, that's giving a viewer a sneak peek into what happens when a celebrity tries to throw an event.
Radar: Who are some of the celebrities that will be part of this season?
Tutera: So you're seeing Taylor's episode, which is a wedding, but then you're going to see Lil Kim's baby shower, and JWoww's birthday surprise party for her fiancé Roger. So there are a lot of different types of parties, which I think people really needed to see from me.
Radar: Who was the toughest celebrity to work with this season besides Armstrong?
Tutera: The common denominator across the board was the lack of understanding time. Lil Kim was five hours late to a four-hour party. You can do the math on that… that means the party was over!
Radar: The show also follows your personal life, so how is your daughter doing?
Tutera: Cielo is incredible. She just turned 13 months. She's full on fledge walking. She's spectacular!
PHOTOS: A-List Boob Jobs! The Good, The Bad And The Lopsided
Radar: You moved into your new house with your new partner and baby in April. How is the whole transition going?
Tutera: It's great. Someone said to me, "Are you bored?" I said, "What do you mean am I bored?" She said, "Well there's no drama in your life anymore. Sometimes when you extract drama, it equates to being bored." I thought, "That's a brilliant way of saying, 'You're happy.'" In this situation, my partner is so calm and opposite of me. And Cielo is so incredibly peaceful as a child that it's been really wonderful.
Radar: Are you and Joey planning on getting married?
Tutera: I like to say that there are no plans for marriage, to anyone.
Radar: How did you and Joey meet?
Tutera: My daughter's godmother, Abby. Abby's friend Maya is Joey's sister. He had just ended a relationship of eight years and I just ended a relationship of 14 years. Both of our partners had left us on the exact same day. On Jan. 1 they both walked out on both of us. So neither of us had any interest in meeting anybody because we had just been through that and were really recovering. But we had a five-week phone relationship. He lived in Arizona and I lived in California and we spoke on the phone quite often. And then we had our first blind date. He flew to California and we met. It was April of 2013.
PHOTOS: Lil' Kim Has Big Work Done On Her Face
Radar: Does Joey have plans to adopt Cielo?
Tutera: We've never talked about it.
Radar: Have you guys discussed having more kids?
Tutera: We have, yes. Every day changes with me.
Radar: Would you go the surrogacy route again?
Tutera: I don't know. I'm a big advocate for adoption. But being 48 years old and being a parent, there are two things that come with it. Patience comes with being a 48 year-old parent: You have more understanding and tolerance for having a baby. But, being 48, you're also tired. So we'll see.
PHOTOS: Best, Worst & Wackiest Fashion From Grammy Awards Through The Years
Radar: Your ex-husband Ryan Jurica is raising Cielo's fraternal twin Cedric. Have Cielo and Cedric gotten to see each other yet?
Tutera: No, they have not met. That will all unfold in time. Obviously Cielo doesn't know anything about this and she won't for a while. So I think it'll be an organic moment that happens. I have absolutely no communication with my ex. So it's impossible to do something when you can't have that communication. For me, I would still want her to be part of it, but it takes two people in that position to make it happen.
Radar: Is it hard to have the camera capture these intimate moments that are going on in your personal life?
Tutera: It would be hard for somebody who hasn't been on television. I've been on TV for over 12 years, so cameras to me are almost nonexistent. Now the reality is that Joey, who is on the show, never was used to cameras. And I have to give him credit. He is very comfortable. He picks on me; he puts my stuff out there. He calls me out on my stuff. He does that naturally, he does that even when the cameras are off. So there's a great balance between us, and there's a comfortable level with cameras.
Radar: What is the toughest personal situation that we're going to see this season?
Tutera: I was asked to do a divorce party. It's for Tanisha. I lost my s*** on it because I think it's completely inappropriate to celebrate divorce having been through a divorce. I had a really big issue with it and it's probably going to be — if they edit it the way I hope they do — the most angry you'll see me. I hated every second of it.
Radar: You have so many businesses — TV shows, wedding planning, shoes, stationary, wedding dresses, everything — what is next?
Tutera: I'm launching my men's fashion line. It's the "David Tutera Men's Collection." I also have my whole brand of "home" coming out. I have my tabletop line coming out in Walmart. I have my HSN line coming out — and a candle line that's already in T.J. Maxx.
Radar: When do you plan on retiring?
Tutera: Never. I feel like I just began.
Radar: Who is one celeb that you have not yet gotten to work with that you would like to plan a party for and why?
Tutera: There are two that I'm obsessed with and I keep putting it out there. If Lady Gaga gets married, I better freaking do her wedding. And the other one I'm really obsessed with is Jennifer Hudson.

Sweet Baby Ray's Slow Cooker Chicken

A slow cooker, also called a crock-pot, is a cooker designed to cook food with a low, steady, moist heat over a period of six to 12 hours.
It is a great appliance to use while you are at work because dinner will be prepared when you get home. Vegetables, however, should not be place in slow cooker for the same amount of time because they cook too long and become mushy. You can always cook your favorite fresh vegetable in the microwave a few minutes to save time.
This is a delicious way to cook chicken in a slow cooker. Email me and let me know what you think at email@example.com.
4 to 6 chicken breasts (frozen is okay)
1 large bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's sauce
1 tsp. cayenne pepper flakes
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 minced garlic cloves (or 1 tsp. garlic powder)
1. Mix together all ingredients except chicken.
2. Place chicken in slow cooker.
3. Pour sauce mixture over chicken.
4. Cook on low for 4-6 hours.
5. Place chicken on large plate and put cooked vegetable around chicken.
6. Garnish with a few snips of parsley. Enjoy.

The 12-Minute Total-Body Workoutby Joyce L. Vedral
The secret of this workout is "dynamic tension." By using only one set of three-pound dumbbells (hand-held weights) you create your own resistance by flexing and using dynamic tension. Thousands of women have written to me that they have achieved a tight, toned body with this 12-minute a day time investment. Perhaps the most important aspect of this book is its ability to force you to keep your workout and diet up on vacation, on business trips, and when visiting , any time you're away from home. It shows you how to eat around the most impossible home, hotel or business menu. You can do the workout with no weights while traveling by just doing the moves and using the tension.

The 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamworkby John Maxwell
Building and maintaining a successful team is no simple task. Even people who have taken their teams to the highest level in their field have difficulty recreating what accounted for their successes. Is it a strong work ethic? Is it "chemistry"? What tools can you wrap your hands around to build-or rebuild-your team? In The 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamwork, leadership expert and New York Times bestselling author John C. Maxwell shares the vital principles of team building that are necessary for success in your business,family, church, or organization. In his practical, down-to-earth style, Dr.Maxwell shows how: The Law of High Morale inspired a 50 year-old man who couldn't even swim to train for the toughest triathlon in the world. The Law of the Big Picture prompted a former U.S. president to travel cross country by bus, sleep in a basement, and do manual labor. Playing by The Law of the Scoreboard enabled one Web-based company to keep growing and making money while thousands of other Internet businesses failed. Ignoring The Law of the Price Tag caused one of the world's largest retailers to close its doors after 128 years in business. The 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamwork will empower you-whether coach or player, teacher or student, CEO or non-profit volunteer-with the "how-tos" and attitudes for building a successful team. John C.

18 Minutes: Find Your Focus, Master Distraction, and Get the Right Things Doneby Peter Bregman
Based upon his weekly Harvard Business Review columns (which is one of the most popular columns on HBR.com, receiving hundreds of thousands of unique page views a month), 18 MINUTES clearly shows how busy people can cut through all the daily clutter and distractions and find a way to focus on those key items which are truly the top priorities in our lives.

Based upon a series of short bite-sized chapters, his approach allows us to safely navigate through the constant chatter of emails, text messages, phone calls, and endless meetings that prevent us from focusing our time on those things that are truly important to us. Mixing first-person insights along with unique case studies, Bregman sprinkles his charming book with pathways which help guide us -- pathways that can get us on the right trail in 18 minutes or less.

Property Details
Condo, 1 Bedrooms, 1 Baths, 6 Sleeps
Condominium on the seawall in Galveston, Texas at the Victorian Condominium and Conference Center resort. Overlooks pool and great view of gulf. Very short walk to beach. One of the best units at the Victorian Condominum Resort and Conference center with a great ocean view and the spacious patio overlooks one of the pools. Newer furniture, two flatscreen TVs, free wireless internet, cable, linens, and no added cleaning fees. Best deal by far at the Victorian Condominiums. Note - I also have a second condominium that is very similar to this one, and so if this condominium is already reserved,and the other is still available, then I would like to send you pictures of the second condominium for your consideration.
Recent Review
Very nice condo, we were extremely pleased!
About the Owner

15 Reviews
4.5 based on 15 traveler reviews
Enjoyed the stay. The condo was excellent.
Very nice condo, we were extremely pleased!
Great Place
After the terrific cleaning crew came, the condo was nice. Owner offered no refund - only said he was sorry it had happened. Some compensation for sitting through the cleaning of the condo would have been appreciated.
Wouldn't recommend.
Great condo!
Very enjoyable!
I would suggest to any future guests, be sure to pack all house hold necessities, such as toilet tissue, paper towels, extra bath towels, etc. There was one bath towel per person in the unit, but since our stay was for 3 nights, it was necessary to run down stairs to the conveniently located laundry room and do a quick load. Also, the one roll of toilet tissue supplied was quickly depleated, but the unit is also conveniently located to a Wal-Mart literally just across the street, so there was an easy fix. This is also a nice alternative to packing all necessities.
Overall,this unit is very nice and would be perfect for a couple's get away. But for the price, it was just fine for our family of five as well.
Thanks so much!
From the Owner

In case you missed it, and I doubt you did, the Rangers re-signed Henrik Lundqvist to a massive seven-year, $59.5 million ($8.5 million cap hit) contract extension yesterday. It is a long commitment to the best goalie in the world. It's also a contract that makes him the highest paid goalie in history (not counting Roberto Luongo's contract, which was for a much longer term). The contract represents a clear message: This team is committed to winning, and is also committed to keeping their franchise players in New York for the foreseeable future. Naturally, there are a lot of pros and cons of the contract, so let's get into them.
- The contract is only a $1.7 million (approximately 25%) raise on his current deal. With the cap expected to hit $70 million next season (10% increase), the cap hit only represents 12% of next year's cap, compared to 10% now. The 2% increase is well worth it to keep Hank around. The interesting part is when you start combining goalie salaries. Martin Biron (pre-retirement) was slated to make $1.3 million, for a combined total of $8.175 million this season (12.7% of the $64.3 million cap). Next year with Hank's contract and Cam Talbot's $562,500 contract ($9 million total) is only 12.9% of the $70 million cap. The numbers actually remain the same in terms of dollars spent on goaltending.
- Hank's contract does not qualify for the cap recapture penalty. The penalty was in place to penalize back-diving contracts, like that of Brad Richards, in case the player retired before the contract expired. The clause, known as the Roberto Luongo Rule, is in place to penalize teams in ownership of contracts that receive a cap advantage (Brad Richards). Hank's contract doesn't back-dive enough to qualify, plus it's hard to argue that the Rangers received a cap benefit by making Hank the highest paid goalie in the league by 20%.
- The contract structure ($11m, $10m, $9.5m, $9m, $7.5m, $7m, $5.5m) means Hank gets most of his money ($39.5m) in those first four seasons. An early retirement (if his game goes the way of the do-do by the time he's 38) means he doesn't forfeit much money. That's smart planning by both sides.
- This is a move that shows the Rangers are in win-now mode, which should make a lot of people happy. Given the current roster structure, the assumption is that New York has until –probably– the fourth year of this extension to win a Cup. They may take a hit for it later with the cap, but this is a team that is designed to win now. Locking up Hank just ensures they remain Cup contenders.
- He's Henrik Freaking Lundqvist. Could you imagine him playing anywhere else?
- The King will be 39 years old when this contract hits its final year (40 when it expires). Naturally, the concern here is with performance as the Hank ages. The first four years shouldn't really be an issue, but once Hank turns 37 or 38, we could see a decline in his play. This is especially true since Hank plays so deep in his net and relies almost entirely on his other-worldly reflexes to stop pucks. As he ages, those reflexes could be slower.
- Hank's $8.5 million cap hit is $1.5 million higher than the next two highest paid goalies (Pekka Rinne, Tuukka Rask). Since the extension came midseason, it's clear the Rangers were the only ones at the table, but did they overpay a bit? Is Hank work a 20% increase in pay over Rinne or Rask? Where else could he have gone? The Islanders were the only realistic option (big town, no big move required, new arena, cap space). This contract really represents what Hank would get on the open market as a UFA.
- The contract does have a no-movement clause. Even if it is Hank, those are always a risky proposition.
There really isn't much downside to the contract, at least in my humble opinion. The Rangers ensured they treated their star right, giving him the money he deserves, while avoiding that dreaded eighth year. The pros outweigh the cons, and while the sixth and seventh years may be tough to watch, a Cup in those first four years will make it easier to deal with. This is a win-now move, and it's tough to really be upset with the deal.

A Sky Movies HD Christmas Channel poll that surveyed 1,000 British movie fans revealed that Johnny Depp is the celebrity they'd most like to have as their Christmas dinner guest. Depp beat out fellow A-listers like George Clooney and Tom Hanks in the poll.
"While Hanks and Clooney would both undoubtedly light up anyone's Christmas, Depp was the clear winner for U.K. film fans," said Ian Lewis, the director of Sky Movies. "He is this year's ultimate Christmas cracker."
