(1) CMS may continue payments to a facility not in substantial compliance for the periods specified in paragraph (c) of this section if the following criteria are met:
(i) The State survey agency finds that it is more appropriate to impose alternative remedies than to terminate the facility;
(iii) The facility, in the case of a Medicare SNF, or the State, in the case of a Medicaid NF, agrees to repay the Federal government payments received under this provision if corrective action is not taken in accordance with the approved plan and timetable for corrective action.
(2) CMS or the State may terminate the SNF or NF agreement before the end of the correction period if the criteria in paragraph (a)(1) of this section are not met.
(b) Cessation of payments. If termination is not sought, either by itself or along with another remedy or remedies, or any of the criteria set forth in paragraph (a)(1) of this section are not met or agreed to by either the facility or the State, the facility or State will receive no Medicare or Federal Medicaid payments, as applicable, from the last day of the survey.
(1) Non-compliance. If the conditions in paragraph (a)(1) of this section are met, CMS may continue payments to a Medicare facility or the State for a Medicaid facility with noncompliance that does not constitute immediate jeopardy for up to 6 months from the last day of the survey.
(2) Facility closure. In the case of a facility closure, the Secretary may, as the Secretary determines appropriate, continue to make payments with respect to residents of a long-term care facility that has submitted a notification of closure during the period beginning on the date such notification is submitted to CMS and ending on the date on which the resident is successfully relocated.

Jeff's videos are great, they're short and sweet while really eye opening. For a long time I was trying to figure out how to get more topspin behind my shots and thought altering my racquet specs would do the trick. That has helped, but is not a fix all. I recently watched the video Jeff put up about Novak's take back and how the strings that will make contact face more behind him. I never thought about the racquet face angle at that point in my stroke. In other video analysis, it seemed like I naturally have more of a Murray or Agassi take back, where the racquet's about half way between parallel and perp to the net when going back. But when I started focusing on turning the racquet face back more like Djo, I was really able to whip the racquet back around and saw an obvious increase in topspin.
Now, I never would have thought of this myself and I haven't seen any other free videos about this (maybe with it thrown in among other techniques, but not by itself). I wrote Jeff an email about it and other things from his videos, and he got back to me with answers to everything! Now, I don't have the $$$ to buy a lesson plan from anyone online, but if I did, I can't think of a better option than Jeff's stuff right now. FYB is pretty good, too, and the fact that Will got so much out of the Bryan Bros is awesome for a doubles lover like me. I feel like he can be a little long winded at times, but I am a visual learner.

Sen. Kerry calls for private vendor to manage USAJobs site
Friday - 10/28/2011, 9:35am EDT
By Jack Moore
Federal News Radio
Following the troubled launch of the revamped USAJobs.gov, the government's jobs portal, at least one lawmaker is now saying the Office of Personnel Management should have stuck with a contractor for the project.
OPM dropped contractor Monster Government Solutions from managing the site, and the agency set off re-developing it on its own. But after the launch of USAJobs 3.0 earlier this month, the new site was overwhelmed with traffic and users took to Facebook to air their frustrations with everything from erroneous search results to difficulty in creating new log-in information.
In a letter to Federal Chief Information Officer Steven VanRoekel, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), said he had concerns from the beginning that OPM should have sought a vendor "through a competitive bidding process" to manage the project.
And in the wake of repeated site glitches, Kerry said he is renewing his call for a private contractor to step in.
The site malfunctions "raise real questions about the decision to take this operation in-house, and in light of the poor transition and launch, I am renewing the recommendation for the administration to seek a vendor through a competitive bidding process to manage this service," Kerry wrote in the letter.
Monster.com, which previously managed the site, is headquartered in Massachusetts. But the problem with the USAJobs site glitches is "a bigger issue than a single constituent concern," Kerry said.
"There are many commercial firms with expertise and experience far beyond the federal government in designing and successfully managing online job websites and any number of them is better equipped to manage this service than the government," he added.
Earlier this week, OPM said the site bugs had been stabilized, citing some 1.8 million successful log-ins in the past two weeks and the declining number of "helpdesk" queries.
"We're being very proactive in responding, not only to people who reach out to our helpdesk, but also as people raise issues on social media," OPM's CIO Matthew Perry wrote in a site status report.
Kerry said he would like VanRoekel, as federal CIO, to "intervene, investigate and resolve the problems."

I've looked at these- desperately wanted one when I had two dogs at a time and a bride costume that fit the male. I wanted the tuxedo for the female but never find one that fits. I bought a pattern to make one but didn't get it done for her. If you make one you get more choices of fabric since the readymade costumes tend to be slick fabric.
Someday retailers will realize big dogs want to dress up too- er, at least their guardians want to dress them up.... or try....
Pros: cute
Cons: no one stocks the large sizes

Former Chief Minister did not provide proper answers: Bureau spokesperson
CHANDIGARH: The Punjab Vigilance Bureau on Sunday questioned the former Chief Minister, Amarinder Singh, in a case related to a amassing of disproportionate assets, which was registered against him recently. He has been asked to supply copies of some documents related to the case within eight weeks.
Capt. Singh who was accompanied by two of his legal counsels was questioned at the Circuit House in Patiala for almost six hours. While talking to The Hindu over the phone, he said that officers were polite and performed their duty within the parameters of decency. However, a spokesman of the Bureau later told reporters that the former Chief Minister was non-cooperative and did not provide proper answers to their questionnaire.
Capt. Singh said that the Vigilance officers posed him the same set of questions, which he had replied to during the investigations for the Ludhiana City Centre scam case, where he is among the main accused. However, it was not possible for him to provide exact figures and dates as required by the investigating team. He claimed to have promised the Bureau to provide the details at the earliest, for which he was granted eight weeks' time.
However, the former Chief Minister had another reason to be pleased as at least 27 MLAs out the Congress's tally of 40 came out to express solidarity with him.
Show of solidarity
Another group of nearly 30 former legislators and senior leaders also reached Patiala, despite advice from the state unit of the Congress leadership for the party rank and file to stay away, as the matter related to Capt. Singh's private property. Congress MLA from Talwandi Sabo, Jeet Mohinder Singh Sidhu, read out the names of 21 Congress legislators and representatives of five others, who had reached Patiala to express solidarity.
A beaming Capt. Singh expressed his gratitude towards the MLAs and workers of the party, who came out in open support despite directives from the State leadership of the party and threats from the State Government. He claimed that the Congress President, Sonia Gandhi, had also inquired about the status of the "false cases" against him.

As you may recall, last season we introduced ticket scanners, which allowed us to issue print-at-home tickets to our fans. Fans no longer have to come to the box office to pick up tickets or wait for them to arrive in the mail. You can order online and print from the comfort of your own home.
Recently, we have unveiled another digital ticketing option for our fans: Ticket Transfer. Ticket Transfer is part of our "No Ticket Left Behind" campaign and encourages fans to ensure that every seat they have purchased is filled on game day.
We know it can be a hassle to distribute tickets you cannot use due to the logistical nightmare of, not only finding someone to use them (that tends to be the easy part) but also physically delivering the hard tickets (especially on short notice). Generally, this requires making a trip to someone's home or office, waiting outside the stadium to meet them, or going to Will Call to drop them off (which forces a trip to Will Call for the recipient).
Ticket Transfer makes the delivery and pickup of tickets a simple process that can be done (by both the ticketholder and the person receiving the tickets) from the comfort of their own home.
Ticket Transfer allows ticketholders to go online, log into their online ticketing account and transfer selected seats (on a game-by-game basis) to others. It is an extremely simple process that takes less than two minutes. The only information you need for the recipient of the tickets is a name, phone number and email address.
Once you click "transfer," the recipient will receive an email allowing them to print the tickets from home (this must be done within a 24-hour period, or the tickets return to the original owner for security purposes).
How does this help? Well, aside from being a great benefit to ticketholders by making it easier for them to invite family, friends or clients to games, it also makes it easy for fans to help fill Mackay Stadium. We have all been in sports arenas and heard the attendance announced, only to look around and say "That can't be right." The reason? Unused seats. We hope that this system will mean there is No Ticket Left Behind and help fill the stands for our fans and teams.
For step-by-step instructions on how to use Ticket Transfer, please click here.
Two former Wolf Pack assistant women's basketball coaches Amanda Levens and Jackie Moore have recently joined the coaching staff at Arizona State University.
Both Moore and Levens were part of head coach Kim Gervasoni's staff at the University of Nevada and helped lead the Wolf Pack to the first postseason appearance in school history in 2006-07.
Moore returns to the coaching ranks after spending the last three years as a member of Walmart's store operations management team, while Levens returns to her alma mater after serving as the head coach at Southern Illinois-Edwardsville from 2009-12. Her teams improved in each of her four seasons as the Cougars made the transition to NCAA Division I status. Levens was named the Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year in 2012 after leading her team to a third-place finish in its first years as a full-fledged member of the league.
Former Wolf Pack basketball star Tahnee Robinson recently visited the White House as part of her involvement in First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! In Indian Country initiative.
Robinson, who also serves as an ambassador for the Nike N7 program, and fellow professional basketball player Ben Strong led a group of Native American youth through a basketball clinic last week in celebration of the one-year anniversary of the initiative.
If you haven't seen it yet, here is the public service announcement Robinson starred in as part of her support of program which aims to build a healthy future for Native American Youth:
"This is a huge honor," Moe said, of having her jersey retired. "It's a real surprise, but I have a lot of fond memories of playing at Terra Nova and am proud of the accomplishments of our team. I'm very happy for it and humbled."
Most recently, the senior point guard was named to the ESPN and MaxPreps High School All-State teams along with being selected for the third consecutive year to both the San Francisco Chronicle All Bay Area and the San Jose Mercury News All Metro teams.
Be sure to come out to cheer on Terilyn and her Nevada women's basketball teammates at Lawlor Events Center next season.
Former Wolf Pack women's basketball star Tahnee Robinson is back in Reno and will be signing autographs tomorrow (Friday, May 25) from 1-3 p.m. at the Nike Factory Outlet at the Legends in Sparks. She is serving as an athlete ambassador for Nike N7 and recently returned to Reno after playing professional basketball in Israel. She is proudly enrolled in the Northern Cheyenne Tribe in Montana and is Eastern Shoshone, Pawnee and Sioux as well.
At Nevada, Robinson became just the 10th player in school history to score 1,000 career points, doing it in just two seasons, and led the Wolf Pack to back-to-back Women's National Invitation Tournament postseason appearances. A two-time All-Western Athletic Conference first-team selection and the 2010 WAC Newcomer of the Year, Robinson ranked in the national top 10 in scoring in each of her two seasons at Nevada and finished in the Wolf Pack's career top 10 in five categories. She was a finalist for the 2011 Sullivan Award, which is annually given to the nation's top amateur athlete, and was drafted by the Connecticut Sun in the 2011 WNBA Draft, becoming just the second Native American to play at that level.
Robinson graduated last weekend with her degree in general studies and recently took the time to answer a few of our questions.
Q: What are you doing now?
A: I am doing rehab. I tore my hamstring in Israel. As soon as I can get better, I am going back to the Nike campus in Oregon to finish my training for the upcoming season.
Q: What was it like to play in Israel?
A: I loved playing in Israel. It was different. We had four Americans and four Israelis on the team and I was the oldest player on a young team. For my first year, it was a good experience. I enjoyed the people and the culture. We went to Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. It is a beautiful place to go.
Q: How have you enjoyed serving as a Nike N7 ambassador?
A: It has been amazing. Now that Nike has released the N7 summer line, I'm going to be traveling to a lot of different stores. I've gotten to meet President Obama and his wife, Michelle, and have been involved in some amazing community service campaigns like Let's Move and Big Brothers Big Sisters. I've been very fortunate.
Q: What is the biggest lesson you learned from your time at the University of Nevada?
A: I learned that you reap what you sow. Hard work pays off. Kami (Malnaa) and the other coaches were always in the gym with me. They all wanted me to succeed as much as I wanted to. If you put in the time, everything pays off in the end. Maybe not right away, but it pays off.
Q: What is the biggest different between college basketball and professional basketball?
A: Being a rookie, you have to start at the beginning again. You have to establish yourself as a good player before they take you seriously. The pace of the game is faster and more physical, and the girls are bigger. It's not a huge change, but there is definitely a difference when you move to that level.
Q: How excited are you to have finally earned your bachelor's degree?
A: School was never my favorite, but I am so thankful for all of the people who helped me get through my classes and put together my schedule. I am so happy I'm graduating. There was a few times in my life that I never thought I would be in college, let alone graduate, so it is so amazing to have it done.
Q: What is next for you?
A: After I am done with rehab, I am going to train in Oregon until September. Then I am going to Europe to play. The season starts in October and lasts until late spring.

Publishing with GitBook
Git, Markdown, Ebook
Write and publish ebooks with the GitBook software and publishing platform.
Using Markdown and Git for producing an ebook at first seems like something that would appeal only to developers and hackers. Indeed, if you are already versed in formatting README files with Markdown and you rely on Git for managing software projects, using these technologies to write and publish an ebook makes a lot of sense. However, this approach has advantages for other users, too, and the GitBook publishing platform [1] offers everything you need to get started.
How GitBook Works
The GitBook-based publishing workflow is relatively straightforward. To begin, you use the GitBook editor to create a book and format it with Markdown. Because the book is just a regular folder containing Markdown-formatted, plain-text files, you turn it into a Git repository and use Git functionality for versioning, synchronization, and collaboration with other contributors. When the book is ready, you use the GitBook editor to push the final result to the GitBook service, which then builds the ebook in several formats and makes it available for sale (Figure 1). The service also takes the burden of processing payments off your shoulders (it charges 20 percent per transaction).

"Used for my daughters first bday party invites. Very nice quality. A touch smaller in size than I'd imagined, but should have read the details more closely. overall, great purchase."
"My daughter loved this invitation for her party. At 14 she wanted something that was sophisticated but not stuffy. IT was perfect and set the tone for the decorations. The quality of tiny prints products is very good. We use them for almost all our stationery needs. Highly recommend this particular product for a teen party."
"This card is so adorable. It's exactly what my daughter wanted for her 6th birthday party invitations. But the best part was the customer service. I received the electronic proof within MINUTES of submitting my order. And the artist found a mistake that I made! After I approved the proof, I realized I left one guest off (I used their addressing and mailing services). I called them and they added it without hesitation! I just ordered my second round of Tiny Prints invitations for another party. Tiny Prints will be the only place I order from!"
"I enjoyed being able to order this card for my daughter's 5th birthday. As we passed them out to everyone they had nothing but wonderful things to say about how cute they were and how it gave her birthday that personal touch. From this card i was able to develop a design for the cake, decorations, games that my daughter is sure to love and remember. She still remembers her last birthday party which was also developed from her Kai-Lan invitation. I have recommended your company to many family and friends and enjoy the discounts offered. Thank You So Much for giving my daughters birthday That Personal Touch."
"These invites were ordered for a first birthday party for my grand daughter. Obviously the theme was 'Lady bugs". The staff at TIny Prints got the personalization done in a snap, we also ordered the THANK YOU notes, personalized with a 'thank you' from the child. Again, these invites were a HUGE success and a hit with all those attended. Not to mention a great addition to the baby book! Thanks Tiny Prints"

The move from the CFL to NFL or vice versa is seldom done in professional sports, but there have been a surprising number of cases where it has gone very well. In the NFL today, Pro Bowlers Brandon Browner and Cameron Wake both had to find success in the CFL before starring in the NFL. Browner played with the Calgary Stampeders for four seasons before signing a three-year deal with the Seahawks. He made the Pro Bowl in 2011. Wake played for the BC Lions for two years before signing a four-year deal with the Dolphins. Wake was one of the best bargains in the league for three seasons before signing an extension worth $49 million in May of 2012. Wake is a two-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro. The Bears pulled head coach Marc Trestman out of the CFL on Wednesday when they named him as Lovie Smith's replacement as head coach. Trestman coached for five years with the Montreal Alouettes. Trestman won two Grey Cup Championships with Montreal. The NFL has had success pulling coaches and players from the CFL dating back to the 1970s, though. Marv Levy and Joe Theismann started their careers north of the border. Levy led the Bills to four-straight Super Bowls and Theismann won Super Bowl XVII with the Washington Redskins. Levy and Theismann are far from the only success stories that have come out of the CFL, or headed in after a career with the NFL. Click here to see the Top 10 CFL figures with NFL ties >>

K-pop has taken the world by storm as the Korean Wave sweeps across Asia, Europe and the Americas. Now it's made its way into the Oxford English Dictionary.
Washington broadcasting station WTOP announced last Friday that the prestigious dictionary has added "K-pop" to its vocabulary list. It defines K-pop as Korean pop music, and offered as example of usage " The band has a style that mixes European music and K-pop". The lexicon showed example of the word being used as a modifier "K-pop fans", putting it under the mass noun category. Other words that made the new list include "Tiger mother" and "infomania".
Being listed in the OED is the latest sign of the Hallyu's growing popularity. Billboard has established a K-pop chart and releases rankings every week while YouTube and Facebook have launched separate pages for the music genre. Groups like Girls' Generation and TVXQ have held sold-out concerts across the world.
Having begun in 1888, the OED is one of the oldest and most used English dictionaries in the world.

Oktibbeha County School District Conservator Margie Pulley announced at the district's meeting Monday that the district has received preliminary clearance from the Mississippi Department of Education of 12 accreditation standards.
To subscribe to the E-edition, please click here.
The Oktibbeha County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved on Monday a resolution for intent to issue bonds for economic development projects in the future.
Joey Deason, the Oktibbeha County representative in the Golden Triangle Link, presented the resolution, which would see the county prepared to issue up to $5 million for future projects, if needed.
A group of protesters gathered at the Oktibbeha County Courthouse on Monday to plead for the release of death row inmate Willie Jerome Manning.
Manning faces execution at 6 p.m. today for the 1992 murders of two Mississippi State University students.
HATTIESBURG – The Starkville Academy golf team shot a 326 at the Hattiesburg Country Club on Monday to finish fourth at the AAA State Tournament.
Almost a week after game one, Starkville and Oxford met on the diamond for the final game of a best-of-three series that would place one team in the quarterfinals while the other would see its season come to a close.
Oktibbeha County School District Conservator Margie Pulley will recognize students, faculty and staff at West Oktibbeha County Elementary School and East Oktibbeha County Elementary School for awards they received in Jackson at the district's monthly meeting today at noon in the district offices.Â
Residents of Starkville will soon have the opportunity to make their voices heard on mayoral and aldermen positions. Primary elections will get under way as polls open at 7 a.m. Tuesday.
C.T. Bradford had a feeling he was going to deliver in the clutch moment for Mississippi State.
The junior outfielder didn't disappoint.
Bradford singled home a run in the bottom of the 11th inning to lift the No. 28 (Collegiate Baseball) Bulldogs to a 7-6 win over Alabama to sweep the Southeastern Conference series Sunday at Dudy Noble Field.
Mississippi State relief pitcher Jonathan Holder can be an intimidating presence on the mound with his 6-foot-2, 230-pound frame and a fastball.
When his curve ball was working like it was Sunday, it's almost not fair to opposing hitters.
Holder struck out six Alabama batters in three innings and got the win as the Bulldogs defeated the Crimson Tide 7-6 in 11 innings at Dudy Noble Field.
Mississippi is a state that according to track and field coach Steve Dudley is "very rich in tradition and athletic skill."
"In the state of Mississippi, it doesn't matter if it's 5 minutes down the road or 5 hours down the road, there is a lot of talent in the state," Dudley said.

He plays the bass, the rhythm, and lead parts all at once. The growling slack-key figures, the rolling thumb, the jazz sensibility; Peter Mulvey knows how to play guitar. All the tricks he's picked up over the years are pressed into the service of the songs with a naturalness and ease that builds without distracting. He'll be coming to Boccelli's in Bellows Falls on Saturday, April 10 in a show with proceeds benefitting The Great Falls Food Hub.
"Peter Mulvey is consistently the most original and dynamic of the US singer-songwriters to tour these shores," opines the Irish Times. "A phenomenal performer with huge energy, a quick-fire, quirky take on life, and an extraordinary guitar style-a joy to see."
Peter Mulvey grew up in Milwaukee, WI, where he played, wrote and sang in bands. After college, he traveled to Ireland, where he learned the trade of busker on the streets of Dublin. He later settled in Boston, building an audience through street and subway performing, while also immersing himself in the thriving musical community. Since the early 90's, Mulvey has recorded about a dozen albums, toured relentlessly and has carved out a distinctive niche for his darkly poetic, beautifully melodic songs and spoken word pieces. His latest disc, Notes from a Flying Machine, won him numerous 'Best of' slots on critics 2009 lists.
"Peter is an amazing artist with a strong social-justice, community-building element to his music," says show co-promoter Charlie Hunter. "So when the Great Falls Food Hub folks expressed interest in working with us on a show, it seemed like a natural fit."
A project of Post Oil Solutions, the Great Falls Food Hub's mission is to make local food accessible and affordable to everyone in our region, while providing a fair return to our farmers. Serving the counties of Windham and Windsor in Vermont, and Sullivan and Cheshire in New Hampshire, the Hub will include a licensed, commercial-sized food processing kitchen, to do value-added, incubator, commercial, and educational activities; dry, cold & frozen storage facilities, for ingredients and final products; and a distribution outlet for fresh, stored, and processed local food.

My Boxes of Fiestaware
I don't remember when my mom gave me my first set of Fiestaware dishes. It was probably somewhere in the blur of "the grad school years," although I remember spending most of those years eating every meal from a pink bowl painted to look like a kitten, including a meal I called "burrito bowl of death," which involved a frozen burrito, corn chips, cheese, and salsa, microwaved together into a steaming, noxious dinner substitute.
Now I have six complete sets of dishes, including additional Fiestaware accoutrements like a teapot and matching salt and pepper shakers, and they sit in boxes in my closet, waiting for a home.
The last place I lived, I literally slept on the floor. Now I have a bed but no kitchen. I've culled my possessions to the bare minimum, the new definition of adulthood, but I still have these boxes of Fiestaware that I carry with me from one place to another, hoping someday that I'll have a proper home in which to use them, the way Ma finally made the decision to unpack her china shepherdess in Little House on the Prairie.
Every time I move, another piece or two breaks. This happens regardless of how well I pack them, although to be fair I have never been particularly good at packing. I wrap them in towels and newspaper and hope for the best, and arrive at my new living situation with my collection a little bit smaller, like my fantasy of a fully-equipped apartment that is simultaneously affordable.
Of course, it will be easy enough for me to fill in the missing pieces through eBay or Amazon or whatever, once I get a place of my own that has both a kitchen and a bed, maybe a place that has a separate bedroom with a door that shuts, maybe a place where I can invite people over and they don't have to sit on my bed like we're still in grade school. That dream — the one where you open a door and find out that your apartment has all these other rooms you never knew about, and they're all yours? I have that dream all the time.
Someday that dream will come true. That's what I have promised myself — that one day my Fiestaware dishes and I will have a proper home, and that I will fully be able to use this gift that my mother gave me.

Awww…I just bought 4 sets of Fiestaware. I was using my roommate's dishes, but they were starting to chip and it was some random brand that couldn't be replaced. I did a lot of research and decided Fiestaware is where it's at. They are sturdy and union-made!
OK, WHAT COLOR! Seriously, we can't dream about it without knowing the colors.
I went with Corell due to the practically unbreakableness. They are light to move as well. But, it's true that because of that they feel less permanent.
@cjm I have:
Grass green
Sky blue
Dark blue
@HelloTheFuture – that sounds so pretty together. Along with cjm, my issue is what color! That's why I ended up just doing plain white dishes frmo C&B when I registered for my wedding. Part of me wants to play food psychologist and buy the color that makes you not want to eat a lot, the other part just wants ALL THE COLORS.
@ceereelyo I just have to comment here. I have all the colors. I've been collecting them for about 15 years and my mom and godmother have given me almost all of the fiesta I have. I think I'm up to almost 30 place settings. About 6 years ago, when I built my first house, I got a proper china cabinet to display them in (and keep the rest of them in the bottom). I love getting them out for company but I'm like cjm in the fact that I got Corelleware for our everyday use (just like my mom had when we were kids). I just couldn't bear the thought of my kids breaking the Fiesta. I did go with the square shaped Corelleware though so I don't feel so much like my mom.
Ugh, this is one of my weaknesses – casual dishes. I have a 12 place settings of Franciscan Ware (I do not entertain often). Then, I found an entire box of mismatched Heath at a garage sale for $5. I love Fiestaware and I'd probably buy any of it if I could find it cheap. Did I mention I live alone?
My mom also bought me Fiestaware as a gift for graduating my Masters program a few years ago and I felt ridiculous unpacking my nice plates and bowls into my dumpy first apartment!
My grandma got me four sets of Fiestaware as my masters graduation present and at first I thought it was ridiculous because there's nothing wrong with my dishes from Walmart (if you ignore that a fair amount of the set is chipped or missing) but it turned out to make my first apartment by myself feel a lot more homey and permanent.
I just got new dishes and it's SO NICE opening the cabinet and seeing matching plates and bowls instead of the weird collection of stuff that has been acquired I don't even know how since 2008.

As the gales of laughter blew past my head, I thought, Wow--this is not good news for the filmmakers. I actually felt sorry for them, which is not an emotion I was expecting to feel during the first big-screen adventure of Pepsi's multimillion-dollar woman. But there's something about Crossroads that makes me want to root for it, despite its epidemic silliness. And a large part of that something is, believe it or not, Britney Spears.
Directed by Tamra Davis of Billy Madison fame, Crossroads boasts all the energy and depth of a Once and Again episode. The movie opens on three prepubescent girls burying a box, which, according to the voiceover, contains their biggest wishes. The greatest wish, however, doesn't go in the box. "Let's be friends forever," says one girl. "We will," answer the others. Good grief, sighs the viewer. This is PG-13? Then, after a flash forward, it is: Britney as Lucy in a skimpy top and bikini briefs lap-dancing under a Madonna poster and singing into a spoon. Oh, I get it: She's your normal teen pretending to be a singer in a music video. It's just that she looked so much like Britney Spears pretending to be a singer in a music video, I got confused.
The box, of course, represents the stuff that girls put away when they enter adolescence: confidence, physical ease, the courage to go their own way. Lucy, it turns out, has become her school's book-bound valedictorian (gobs of silly), which is bad because her single dad wanted it more than she did--and besides, she never got to party. Kit (Zoë Saldana) slimmed down and was crowned most popular; her dreams go no farther than the altar. Trailer-park Mimi (Taryn Manning) is knocked up, unhooked, and desperate. The best friends have grown worlds apart, until Mimi reminds them of their pledge to dig up the wish box on graduation night. Box or no box, they would've stayed apart but for Mimi's plan to drive from Georgia to Los Angeles to audition for a recording contract.
Okay, this is seriously silly stuff--not to mention the two lovingly filmed scenes of lingerie-clad Lucy in the first ten minutes. By the time the girls hop in the convenient convertible of a dangerous dreamboat (Anson Mount) and have perfectly audible conversations speeding down the freeway with the top down, I was wishing for a Pepsi myself. It has a lot to give, you know, and I was hoping for a jolt of something closer to the real world--or, at the very least, Road Rules. (Did I mention that one of the producers of Crossroads is MTV Films?)
But right about then I started pulling for these three not-girls-not-women and their suddenly goofy consort. The silliness doesn't end. (Lucy and the girls earn what must be about a thousand dollars at...uh, a karaoke bar.) The story still feels flat and forced. But Manning's Mimi roughens her voice with the husk of hurt--and puts on some slammin' dance moves. It's fun to watch Saldana's Kit grow muscles to fill out that SuperBitch attitude. The singing-along-to-the-radio-in-a-convertible thing works its magic (though a Thelma & Louise joke went right over the heads of the young core audience).
As for Britney...well, she ducks out of the Britney persona for a tiny bit (even as she takes her career to a whole new level!). Frankly, the robot that is Britney Spears frightens me. I haven't seen her perform when her eyes didn't appear completely dead. A friend says she looks like a porn star: anonymously pretty face masked in makeup, clichéd erotic thrusts, contrived sassiness. Whenever Lucy sings into a microphone, Britney takes over. But when Lucy is Lucy being silly with her friends, she's somebody else--somebody just coming into being. I know it's odd to say that Britney seems more real when she's trying to become someone else. I know that the Britney-bot is some people's idea of the perfect woman. But Thelma and Louise didn't drive off that cliff so their daughters could be confidently (and continuously) sexy. They were looking for something sillier than that: something like room to move.
