"...[A] moving story with universal appeal, performed with enormous zest and color..." – John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune
• "...[A] moving story with universal appeal, performed with enormous zest and color..." – John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune
• "...[A] remarkably compelling and compact work... [A] persuasive immigration story told in heartfelt musical terms..." – Dennis Polkow, Newcity Stage
• "...[A]n emotional journey for the audience, especially for those who are reminded of their own story or that of a relative..."– Gisela Orozco, Hoy Chicago
• "The energy of Martinez and his fellow musicians was tremendous. ...All the songs were beautifully performed by the Vargas group and the actor-singers." – Andrew Patner, Chicago Sun-Times
Cruzar la Cara de la Luna, the world's first mariachi opera, first commissioned by Lyric general director Anthony Freud when he was with Houston Opera, is the story of "one family, two countries, one life-changing secret." Presented in April by Lyric Unlimited, the new audience development and community engagement branch of Lyric Opera. Let's look a little bit closer at Cruzar by the numbers:
• Approximately 7520 total audience members attended Cruzar la Cara de la Luna at one of 5 performances.
• Cruzar was presented at 3 venues in 3 different neighborhoods: the Civic Opera House in Chicago's Loop, Benito Juárez Academy in Pilsen on Chicago's South Side, and the Genesee Theatre in Waukegan on Chicago's North Shore.
• 42% of the Cruzar audience members at the Civic Opera House were attending their first performance at Lyric.
• 2 internationally renowned mariachi groups performed in Cruzar in Chicago: Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán and Mariachi Aztlán.
• Cruzar is the 1st Spanish-language composition performed at Lyric Opera of Chicago.
Chicago Tribune classical music critic John von Rhein summarizes: "By presenting the Midwest premiere of Cruzar la Cara de la Luna (To Cross the Face of the Moon) as the latest project of its Lyric Unlimited program, the company fulfilled several objectives. It reached out to members of the city's Mexican and Latino communities through an art form many of them had never experienced before. It promoted cross-cultural understanding. It called attention to the multicultural diversity and vitality that help to make Chicago unique among major American cities. It made potential new friends for the company while exposing Lyric regulars to a more populist form of entertainment than they are used to." BRAVO to all who made Cruzar a tremendous success!

It's not a surprise that LOC Creative Consultant Renée Fleming, barihunk Teddy Tahu Rhodes, Ryan Opera Center alumna Susanna Phillips, and the rest of the cast of A Streetcar Named Desire garnered rave reviews! But what did critics think of the design and Brad Dalton's inventive new "semi-staging," which included the Lyric Opera Orchestra onstage in place of full sets?
• "Kudos to Lyric Opera of Chicago, which is giving André Previn's A Streetcar Named Desire a four-performance run. Streetcar is a significant recent opera, and its inclusion contributes much to the tradition of programming new works in this house. While the production has been described in the press as semi-staged, the only elements absent were actual backdrops, whether painted or constructed. There were sufficient props, including tables, chairs, a bed, and other items—to create images of the Kowalski flat and the drama in one's mind. And since it was placed at the rear of the stage, the orchestra itself became part of the setting. The result gave the audience the opportunity to hear Previn's detailed score, and the layout appeared to give conductor Evan Rogister greater ability to interact with both the musicians and the principals." – James L. Zychowicz, Seen and Heard International
• "...This more ethereal, though fully costumed and acted production may be the most compelling way to present this three-act American tragedy." – Andrew Patner, Chicago Sun-Times
• "Fully costumed (excellently by Johann Stegmeir) and directed with great flair and imagination by Brad Dalton, the artful staging, though clearly minimalist with no sets, worked very well indeed, aided immensely by Duane Schuler's atmospheric lighting." – Lawrence A. Johnson, Chicago Classical Review
• "Director Dalton made a convincing, semi-abstract theater space out of the stage, using chairs, a table, a bed and Blanche's trunk as the main props, which a group of six cigarette-smoking hunks moved around to define the various scenes. Johann Stegmeir designed the costumes, including a succession of 1940s-style dresses for Fleming. The stage space, lit by Duane Schuler, became more and more surreal as Blanche's mind began to collapse and her ties to reality grew ever more tenuous." – John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune
All performances of Lyric's regular run of André Previn's A Streetcar Named Desire are currently sold out. However, Chicago audiences can still catch this stunning production at a special student night performance!

Agave syrup is produced in the Mexican States of Jalisco, Michoacán, Guanajuato and Tamaulipas, according to Mexican laws pertaining to certificate of origin, although most is produced in Jalisco.
There is a United States patent for a process that uses enzymes to hydrolyze the polyfructose extract into fructose, using an enzyme derived from Aspergillus niger (black mold).
There is some concern about the health effects of fructose, since Agave has a fructose content much higher than high-fructose corn syrup. Due to its fructose content and the fact that the glycemic index only measures glucose levels, agave syrup is notable in that its glycemic index and glycemic load are lower than many other natural sweeteners on the market..
Vegans in particular commonly use agave syrup to replace honey in recipes. It is also a very effective sweetener for cold beverages such as iced tea as, unlike sugar and honey, it dissolves readily in cold liquids.

The Thunderbirds began in 1937, when the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce expanded its role as a convention and tourism bureau. There was a need for a special events committee to venture into new fields. Five young executives were selected to lead the committee. The Phoenix Chamber of Commerce suggested that the committee become an "official" group and expand its membership. Each of the five then selected ten additional members to make up a committee of 55. The Thunderbird name was chosen because the emblem of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce was, and still is, a Thunderbird derived from American Indian symbols.
One of the early inductees was Bob Goldwater, an avid golfer. Goldwater thought it would be a great idea to sponsor a golf tournament. That first year, Goldwater sold the tickets, recruited volunteers and set up the golf course at the Phoenix Country Club. The Phoenix Open caught on, and in 79 years, has developed into one of the leading stops on the PGA TOUR. Goldwater was Tournament Chairman from 1934 through 1951 and is affectionately called the "Father of The Phoenix Open." Active Thunderbird membership is limited to 55 members. Each has demonstrated a sincere interest in sports and a dedication to community affairs. All Thunderbird activities and events are the prime responsibility of these Active Thunderbirds and are under the watchful eye of the Big Chief and Thunderbird Council. When a Thunderbird reaches the age of 45, their status changes from Active to that of Life Member. Although they are relieved of continuous duties, it is not unusual to see a Life Thunderbird lending a helping hand at The Waste Management Phoenix Open or one of the many other Thunderbird-sponsored events. To date, there are over 300 members comprising The Thunderbirds organization.
To become an active Thunderbird you must be nominated by at least two "Active Thunderbirds." Nominated persons are then voted upon by the 55 "Active" members.
Each and every year, the Waste Management Phoenix Open relies on thousands of volunteers and an abundance of community support to host a successful event. If you'd like to volunteer for the 2015 Waste Management Phoenix Open, please check back this fall to register as a volunteer.
The Thunderbirds have elected Tom King as Big Chief (president) of their organization for the 2014-2015 fiscal year.
John Bridger is the Executive Director of the organization. Bridger is responsible for the general management of the Waste Management Phoenix Open as well as directing the day-to-day operations for the Thunderbirds. Bridger is an Arkansas native and was raised in Wellton, Arizona. He is a graduate of Northern Arizona University and later went on to receive accreditation's from Northwestern University and The University of Virginia. Prior to coming to The Thunderbirds, Bridger served as executive vice president for Bank of America in Dallas, Texas, and was directly responsible for more than 425 bank centers and 4,800 banking associates.

[quote:Too Dark Park:MV8xNjQ5OTI4XzI3MjU4ODQ2XzNBRTMzMTQ2] Nice thread, and a happy Mabon to all :hf: [/quote]
Original Message
I thought I would repost this as a new thread to share with you for the Fall Equinox.
It is possible using only a standard moon almanac, the planetary correspondences of the days of the week, a supply of basic color candles, and the time to do a focused intentional mediation to do beneficial white magick.
Internally, the basic practice is essentially the same as guided mediation. When you have something that you want to accomplish in life, or you wish to defeat a bad habit or draw a new energy towards you, find a quite place and sit either cross-legged or in a chair.
First, do a basic breathing and relaxation exercise. Close your eyes, breath deeply into the bottom of your lungs, expanding your stomach, through your nose and out through your mouth by allowing your lungs to empty from the gentle fall of your stomach. Picture a golden ball of energy moving from the base of your body up to the top of your body, everywhere it goes, your body is completely relaxed and cleansed of dis-ease (an expanded version of this is an excellent healing mediation). When it reaches your head, allow yourself a few moments to feel the relaxation in your body and to get in tune with what it's telling you everywhere.
Now, clear your mind as best you can for a few moments. If you wish, you can try to hold a single-point mediation at this point, but that's only for extra centering if you are capable and you feel it necessary. At this point, you want to start to picture the things that you need to do in life to get the desired result you want. Imagine in as vivid detail as you can all the aspects of the things you need to do to get what you Will and you see yourself accomplishing them with the necessary effort and poise, nothing is holding you back at the point of action and you are fully prepared in each moment to take course that will accomplish your objective. Notice the reaction of the people around you taking note of your poise and ability, and their willingness to of their own free will without coercion or force of any kind on your part provide you what you Will to see the end you desire.
Now, of course, what does this have to do with the moon and candles? Well, I started with the hard part, which is also the only really important part, because if you are still reading this, here is where you can get a bit of help from what magicians have known for thousands of years.
Using your own judgement, pick the best phase and house of the moon to do your mediation and also to take your first practical actions on your course to achieve that which you Will. You can also pick a time when the right phase and house of the moon fall on a day of the week which is beneficial to accomplish your aim, when these fall together in synchronization, especially on a Full or New Moon, these are the power days to do spell work. You can choose the color of your candles based on the color correspondence to the planet that rules the day of the week, or to the planet that rules the astrological sign, or both. You can also include white, gray, or blue candles for the moon, I like to do this especially with New Moon magick to give my friend some extra shine.
Pick your time or times, find a spot where you are not going to be bothered, setup your candles safely, light them, and then sit relax and start with the golden ball at your feet and work your way up to what you Will to occur in life.
When you start combining this stuff with Tarot cards, herbs, incense blends, stones, potions, and ceremonial magick, that's when stuff gets really interesting, but anything beyond what I have given REALLY needs a divination beforehand to be done safely. The small ritual I have provided here is really white magick, since you are enacting beneficial change upon yourself, there isn't too much chance of anything going wrong, provided you remember not to poison your mind with the desire to control others.
Happy spellwork.

North Carlton Green House is a breutiful green project designed by Zen Architects, and is located in Melbourne, Australia. The North Carlton Green House was inspired by the clients intuitive connection with landscape and the sun, complemented by our innovative use of sustainable design principles. Plants were integrated into the building to create a living, breathing, sustainable space that is a delight to inhabit. A rooftop garden provides an urban oasis perched above the surrounding rooftops nestled in the tree tops.
Water consumption is minimized through collecting rainwater and re-using grey water in the garden. The gardens are watered by automated subsurface irrigation systems to minimize water lost through evaporation. Passive heating is provided by a two storey north facing void that allows sun to penetrate deep into the house heating thermal mass of exposed concrete floor and ceiling. Passive cooling is provided by windows located to catch breezes cooled by the courtyard plants and pond while a two storey void facilitates natural heat removal through stack effect.

This house is a prime example of green washing.
The window area is insane. This house would be freezing in winter and hot in summer. The design is inefficent with suspended voids. there would be structural steel galore. The embodied energy would be off the charts.
Green house is a good name for it. Increasing the green house effect!!!!!!!!

PRIMATES have bigger brains than they would if they conformed to the basic body plan of other mammals, and humans have bigger brains than other primates. But the larger organ uses more energy.
To pass on their genes to subsequent generations, there must be some reproductive advantage to make big brains worth the cost. In the branch of the primate family tree that leads to modern humans, this advantage has been such that brain size has more than doubled in the past 2 million years to a volume of some 1500 cubic centimetres. This steady growth in brain size made possible a steady growth in intelligence and an ever-increasing mastery of the world.
But if size mattered, argues Derek Bickerton in Language and Human Behaviour, then whatever happened to the even larger-brained Neanderthals? And why was the gradually increasing brain size of our ancestors not matched by improvements in the ...

Ian Rush was partial to the odd tap in during his record-breaking Anfield career - and he believes Daniel Sturridge possesses a similar predatory instinct inside the six-yard box.
Sturridge has showed his sharpness by slotting home two of his five goals for the club so far from close range.
He tucked a loose ball beyond David De Gea against Manchester United at Old Trafford in January before turning home Stewart Downing's cross in front of the Kop against Norwich.
His ability to ghost unmarked into the box was just one of the many traits Rush picked-out as he delivered a shining appraisal of Sturridge's first two months at Anfield.
"He has been absolutely fantastic - just what the supporters have been looking for," Rush told Liverpoolfc.com as he took time out from a Garuda Indonesia coaching clinic in Jakarta.
"He's a natural goalscorer. The goal he scored against Manchester City, there was no backlift, it was a fantastic strike.
"Before he came, the opposition focused mainly on Luis Suarez and Stevie [Gerrard] but with Sturridge, there's an added danger. He seems to gel well with Suarez and Stevie.
"He gets the tap ins as well. [In the past] we've had plenty of great shots where the ball has hit the post and come back or the keeper has saved and we've just been looking for someone to come along and tap the ball in. Sturridge does that.
"Also, his first touch is incredible in and around the box. He's very skilful and he's got a bit of pace. He can drift out to wide left, out to wide right and he can play through the middle."
In the seven games Sturridge has started alongside Suarez, their bourgeoning partnership has conjured 10 goals for Brendan Rodgers' side.
Link-up play between the duo was at its most potent when Sturridge dummied a Lucas Leiva pass into the path of the Uruguayan, who swept home Liverpool's second against Norwich at Anfield.
And Rush explained how the pair both possess a footballing intelligence that will help their partnership blossom.
"The key to a successful partnership is both players having a footballing brain because it's all about how you read each other's game," he said.
"You can practise as much as you want on the training pitch but it's about how you link during the game.
"Sturridge will read Suarez and look for a rebound from his shots. If Suarez goes out to the right, then Sturridge can come into the middle or vice versa.
"I'm looking forward to watching their partnership blossom and I hope it will develop into one of those special partnerships but only time will tell.
"It certainly won't happen overnight - they'll have to work with each other in training, day in and day out."

Add a post-meal coffee and a handmade truffle, and you'll be prepared to take in some art.
See you at supper!

Brighton, UK (PRWEB UK) 26 April 2014
Dr David Bartram from the University of Leicester said that migration can be disruptive to social ties and sense of belonging and that British people can feel excluded from local community networks, because of a reluctance to learn foreign languages and integrate. (According to a piece in The Independent on 23 April 2014 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/brits-who-migrate-to-costa-del-sol-more-unhappy-than-those-who-stay-at-home-9275308.html)
Nigel Ayres, Founder and CEO of World of Expats, says that while moving abroad does not guarantee happiness – people who plan the move and carry out as much research as possible at the outset, will settle better and be in a stronger position to enjoy their new life.
"Moving abroad can be a culture shock and it isn't the same as visiting somewhere warm and friendly as a tourist," says Nigel, "Preparation is therefore key and expats do need support. This support isn't necessarily only practical help – there are emotional issues to consider as well. But, staying in touch with friends and relatives back at home is much more easily achieved today by using technology, social media and other means."
Launched last year, World of Expats is the first all-encompassing information service which highlights everything a potential expat needs to consider before moving to another country – including buying a property, advice on education, work or culture.
"Many of the people in this latest survey are retired people – who moved to Spain 10 years ago or so – when selling your property in the UK and buying a cheaper apartment in Spain was very popular, but awareness of some of the pitfalls was not as high," says Nigel. "Since then the underlying problems with unlawful developments, the oversupply in the Spanish property market and the impact of the recession and Euro crisis on the Spanish economy have led to problems. Added to that, there are always those who face family issues, such as needing return home to help look after grandchildren or elderly relatives."
He continues: "We can't plan for every eventuality – but getting advice from professionals, regarding investments and pensions etc is key. It is also important to avoid common pitfalls by ensuring agreements are translated by an independent translator (do not rely on the vendor's translation) and taking independent advice from an English-speaking lawyer and surveyor acting only for you. They should be familiar with the area where you are buying, but be sourced to ensure they are not connected with the developer or the vendor. In addition, talking to people who already live in that country is useful too in identifying common problems."
World of Expats is a global community, providing advice to anyone thinking about living abroad, whatever their age and whatever their motivation for becoming an expat. The organisation is launching the first in a series of exhibitions aimed at potential expats and property buyers in London this November (14 and 15 at ExCeL). This will be followed by exhibitions in Birmingham (April 2015) and in three US cities next year (New York, Chicago and Houston).
"We are very excited about our World of Expats Fairs – as, for the first time ever, potential expats will be able to access all the information they need regarding their move in one place, making it possible to plan everything from start to finish," says Nigel.
The first World of Expats Fair takes place at ExCeL in London in November includes exhibitors covering the following areas:
In addition, there are a variety of workshops available, free advice on family and cultural issues and the chance to network with other potential expats and existing expats.
"I truly believe that with all these tools at their disposal, expats will make better informed decisions about their move abroad," says Nigel. "This means that, hopefully, they are well placed to make the most of the opportunities that a move abroad can offer."

Wood talks with Israel's Ambassador to the IAEA, Ehud Azoulay, left, before the agency's board of governors meeting.
JEDDAH/VIENNA/DUBAI: Saudi Arabia said Tuesday Iran's nuclear program has increased threats to the Gulf region and urged Tehran to cooperate with world powers to defuse tension after talks last month failed to achieve a breakthrough.
"For sure the Iranian nuclear program has escalated the threat level in the region ... So it is dangerous," Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal said in Jeddah after a Gulf Cooperation Council meeting.
"We hope Iran, with all kinds of threats coming from it, changes its policy to protect a region that is Iran's [as well]. I cannot imagine Iran becoming the reason for the destruction of this region because it will be the biggest loser," he added.
Talks last month between Iran and six world powers over its nuclear ambitions ended without an agreement but the sides decided to reconvene in Moscow on June 18-19 in another effort to bridge the longstanding dispute.
"This requires greater cooperation from Iran with the international group," Prince Saud said. "We hope that Iran stops its nuclear program and reassures the region's states."
Iran's state TV said Tuesday the European Union has ignored a request by Tehran for preparatory talks ahead of the Moscow talks.
The report said Iran's deputy nuclear negotiator Ali Bagheri sent two letters requesting talks to Helga Schmid, a representative for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.
Bagheri sent the letters late May and June 4, and the EU had not answered. An EU representative could not be reached immediately for comment.
Meanwhile, a senior U.S. official said Tuesday that Iran was carrying out cleanup efforts at a military site, Parchin, that the U.N. nuclear watchdog wants to visit as part of a probe into suspected atom bomb research in Iran.
Robert Wood, acting head of the U.S. mission to the International Atomic Energy Agency, also told the IAEA's 35-nation board that Iran had produced enough low-enriched uranium for several nuclear weapons if refined further to high levels.
"Iran has actually accelerated its production of low-enriched uranium," Wood said, according to a copy of his statement. "There appears no immediate peaceful need for such stockpiles or for such an acceleration of the program, and we would note that this quantity of low-enriched uranium is enough for several nuclear weapons if further enriched to higher levels."
Iran is refining uranium to 20 percent of fissile purity – well above the level required to run nuclear power plants – for what it says will be fuel for a medical research reactor.
But Western officials are worried because the 20 percent level hurdles major technical barriers to reaching the 90 percent – or bomb-grade – threshold and they believe Iran is stockpiling more material than it needs for nuclear medicine.
Also Tuesday, an adviser to Iran's supreme leader has urged world powers to formally recognize its nuclear rights to bring about a "favorable result" at talks later this month, state media reported.
Deflecting Iranian pressure in talks last month, Western countries declined to accord any such recognition, saying Tehran had no automatic right to enrich uranium because of previous violations of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Iran says that under its NPT membership, it can develop a full nuclear fuel cycle for peaceful purposes including uranium enrichment, a process that yields fuel for power stations or bombs, depending on the level of refinement.
"I hope the P5+1 group recognizes Iran's inalienable nuclear right within the framework of the NPT and refrains from sitting on the sidelines," IRNA quoted Ali Akbar Velayati, an aide to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as saying.
"By accepting Iran's right to use peaceful nuclear energy, the forthcoming talks in Moscow should reach a favorable result."
Khamenei – who has total command over Iran's nuclear policy – has publicly forbidden the development of nuclear weapons. Iran says it is enriching uranium only for civilian energy.
Western nations suspect that the Iran's higher-grade uranium enrichment is part of a clandestine program to develop the material and components needed for a capacity to produce nuclear arms.
Despite Velayati's firm line, diplomats say Iranian negotiators were forthcoming at the talks in Baghdad – in contrast to previous failed negotiations – and believe Khamenei has given them a freer hand to explore a deal.
Last week U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton indicated the meeting would be crucial because of Washington's need to see "concrete actions."
Iran has at times appeared flexible on halting higher-grade enrichment if its requirements for fuel are met.
But in recent weeks Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded the powers get tougher with Iran and insists it halts all enrichment. He has also reserved Israel's right to take military action against Iran if negotiations fail.
Velayati played down the possibility of Israeli military strikes: "They neither have the power nor the courage to do such a thing."

'We'll Miss You When We're in Heaven and You're Not'
Religious breaks in any family structure can be painful. People who find out beloved relatives have "left the faith" can feel heartbroken, even angry. In a survey earlier this year, I asked nonreligious parents whether they had "come out" to their own families, and, if so, whether they'd received support. About 28 percent of the respondents answered yes and yes: They were open about their beliefs, and most of their family members had been supportive. About 18 percent answered yes and no: They were open about their beliefs, but most relatives had been unsupportive. The highest percentage — 37 percent — said they were open about their beliefs to some, but not all, thereby gaining support from those who were able to offer it, and minimizing tension with those who were not.
It's not a bad strategy, really, considering that parents and grandparents scorned in matters of religion can be such a vocal sort. Consider these common refrains:
We just don't understand.
What did we do wrong?
How can you be a moral person and not believe in God?
Aren't you afraid of what will happen after you die?
Why do you hate God?
We're disappointed in you.
You don't know what you're talking about.
You're confused.
You're rebelling.
You're extreme.
You're unhappy.
You're wrong.
This is a crisis of faith.
This is a phase.
This must be part of God's plan.
You'll snap out of it.
You're a great person, except for this one thing.
We blame ourselves.
How can you do this to us?
It's not fair.
Even if you don't believe in God, God believes in you.
You should believe in God "just in case."
You shouldn't tell people.
You've been possessed by Satan.
We'll miss you when we're in heaven and you're not.
And the old stand-by:
We'll pray for you.
Yep, sort of covers it all, doesn't it? You've got guilt, anger, insults, incredulity, resentment, fear, disrespect and denial. Good times! The problem is that in so many families, there is no wiggle room: God means moral. God means good. God means happy. God means truth. God means heaven. And the lack of God means, well, exactly the opposite: evil, sadness, pain, ignorance and hell. With that lineup of adjectives, it's no wonder parents are so desperate to stop the backslide.
If you've heard one (or more) of the above refrains, it probably means you've bitten the bullet and shared your beliefs. And that's so very commendable, if not always pleasant. With exceptions, being honest about our lack of faith simplifies our lives and really does benefit those around us — particularly, as it turns out, our children.

25th Anniversary of '82 National Champion Women's Tennis Team
Aug. 29, 2007
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The 1982 National Champion women's tennis team will be honored at this Saturday's home football game. This year marks the 25-Year Anniversary of that memorable season for the Hoosier women's tennis team.
That group of players amassed an amazing Big Ten record of 103-1 during their careers as Hoosiers. Indiana defeated North Carolina, Texas and California en route to the National Championship.
"I'm real excited to see everyone," said current and '82 National Champion women's tennis coach Lin Loring. "This was a special group of women. Besides winning Indiana's first and only women's national title, they made Big Ten and Indiana history by going 103-1 in Big Ten play during their careers. They were simply one of the most dominant group of athletes that Indiana will ever see, in any sport."
Five of the student-athletes received All-Big Ten honors that season while two (Heather Crowe and Tracy Hoffman) earned All-American laurels. Crowe was also rewarded the Honda/Broderick Award, given to the nation's most outstanding female collegiate athlete. Loring's exceptional efforts were recognized across the country as well when he was named the National Coach of the Year. Assistant Coach, Nancy Stephenson Carrol, an '81 IU alum, helped guide the Hoosiers in that magical season after playing four years at the university. The complete list of student-athletes on the '82 National Championship team include:

The Swedish study made one thing uncomfortably clear: despite making a conscious effort to be utterly fair and unbiased, we are not. Furthermore, as long as we are human we probably never will be.
So rather than another round of hand-wringing, accept the fact and act pragmatically. The remedy for funding agencies is that if they are serious about combating sexism they should specify that the first names of authors of grant proposals appear as initials only.

This week, we had Taylor Whyte on the Cumfiesta. This blond babe was looking sexy as hell and explained that her friends had told her about it. She was looking for a good time, but we had to ask for the password first. Sure enough, Taylor flashed those tits, and we let her right on in. She had a smoking hot body and told us that she loved riding dick. Well, Juan pulled out his big cock and put Taylor to the test. But first Taylor played with that nice, tight pussy and got it all hot and wet. After that, she got down on her knees and sucked Juan's cock. Taylor was a pro at giving head, and we were very impressed. Then Juan stroked that pussy deep in all kinds of different positions, and Taylor had orgasms and loved it. But she wanted her turn too, so she got on top and rode that cock just like she said she loved doing. When Juan couldn't take it anymore, he pulled out and busted a huge load of jizz all over Taylor's pretty face. Taylor just gave the camera a smile and commented that if the cum is on her face then there is no more room to be shy. She came for the Cum Fiesta, and she definitely got it.
Oh the lovely Sara Luvv. This 19-year-old smoking hot Latina is sure to make your day. When she knocked the door, and Tony answered, we were really taken back by how beautiful this girl was. She said she wanted the Cum Fiesta really bad and showed her tits as the password. They were awesome tits, so she had no problem getting in. Once inside, Sara showed off that ass and pussy. OMG were they nice. Our mouths were drooling seeing what she had in store for us. The this sexy Latina gave an amazing blow job that made us super jealous of Tony. She was so pretty and watching her suck dick was so erotic. Tony banged that tight Latina teen pussy with a fury and had Sara cumming hard as hell. She loved his cock and couldn't wait to receive his cumload. Tony was more than happy to oblige her and pulled out to shoot his load on her gorgeous face. She took a hot shot of jizz and licked it all up.
Jmac was pretty surprised when he saw the super petite Dakota Skye show up at the door of the Cumfiesta. He really had a thing for petite chicks, and she was so damn cute. Jmac couldn't wait to pull out his cock and show her how it was the size of her forearm. Dakota showed her sweet teen tits, Jmac made sure she was 19-years-old, and she came right in. On the bed, she started licking her own titties. She had a really nice little body and was super flexible.
First thing she did was pull out his big cock and try and stuff her mouth with it. She gave Jmac a good sucking, but he couldn't wait to get in that pussy. So he just picked her up, laid her on her back, and laid into that tight snatch. Jmac lost his mind in that tight teen pussy and pounded Dakota non-stop from multiple angles until she had orgasmed several times. He was running out of steam at that point, so he decided he was gonna let one loose. From above, Dakota sucked his balls until he drained them all over her face. Then she gave the camera a big smile and a wave.
Bailey Bradshaw was a sexy blond babe that had heard about the Cumfiesta from a friend. We were more than happy when she showed up at the door. Tony made quick work of stripping down this sexy lady and showing us her hot tits, nice ass and sweet pussy. After giving that snatch and rubbing and licking, Bailey had her turn on Tony. She took his cock in her mouth and slobbed on it, as she stuffed it down her throat. Then she spread out on the couch, and Tony drilled her pussy deep and hard from multiple angles, as she fingered her asshole. Tony didn't let up until he was sure that Bailey had cum. Then he got his, pulled out, and busted his cum load all over that pretty face of hers.
Jmac greeted Katerina Kay and Sami St Clair at the door. They'd said they showed up for the Cum Fiesta, and he asked them for the password. Their beautiful tits got them right in. Once inside, Jmac planted the seed by questioning the ladies on their lesbian tendencies. It definitely worked because in no time, they were butt-ass naked licking each others pussies. These two blondes were like a dream come true. They both were really pretty and had insanely hot bodies. They went on to give Jmac a two-girl blow job. Once he was rock hard, Jmac wasted no time drilling those pussies deep and hard. The girls love it, and they both came. Jmac had his turn too and busted his load all over their pretty faces.
This week we had the sexy Latina teen Stella May on the Cumfiesta. She'd heard from a college friend who'd been that it was well worth it. Being the freak she was, in search of big cocks and hard knocks, Stella made her way the Cumfiesta door. There she showed her sweet teen tits as the password to gain entrance. Juan asked her a few questions, and this made her hot, so Stella began to fingering her hot college pussy. Stella could see Juan was getting hard through his jeans, and she jumped on the dick. She sucked Juan's cock nicely, bent over and spread her pussy for Juan to enter her from behind. He stroked her pussy deep and hard until she was orgasming and begging for his cum. Juan obliged Stella and blew a huge load of cum all over her pretty teen face. It was friggin awesome!
Cali Carter was in search of good dick and came to the right place. Her friend had told her about the Cumfiesta, so she had to come check it out for herself. She was a smoking hot blond, and when they opened the door, we knew it'd be a good episode. Immediately, Cali flashed her amazing tits as the password and was permitted entrance. She showed off that nice big booty and got straight to sucking dick. Cali was a skilled veteran and really showed it. Then she took a deep stroking from several different angles and even rode cock. No doubt, Cali was a Tiger in the sack. The sex was so intense, Cali and Bruno were dripping in sweat by the time the video was coming to a close. Speaking of which, Bruno made sure to finish off in true Cumfiesta style and bust his load all over Cali's pretty face.

A Sunday DTM drive with Jenson Button
Jason Barlow straps himself in to talk German racers and the F1 season so far with the other 'JB'
Posted: 23 May 2012
There's a great shot of Jenson Button taken the moment he's climbed out of his car after winning his first Grand Prix, back in 2005 in Hungary. Visor up, his eyes are popping with adrenalin-fuelled elation. As he settles into the driver's seat of the Mercedes DTM 'taxi', he looks across at me and the famous Button orbs are doing exactly the same thing. Very expressive eyes, has Jenson.

History Of Price Comparison Sites
Price comparison sites started as client-side add-ins to the Internet explorer and Netscape browsers and required further software to be downloaded and installed. Price comparison sites later migrated to web servers so that the service could be accessible to anyone with a browser.
During the late 1990s, as more people gained access to the internet, a wide range of shopping portals came into existence and listed retailers for particular products or services. The listed Retailers paid the website a fixed fee for appearing. These were like an online version of the Yellow Pages. With improvements in technology, a newer "breed" of shopping portals were created that brought both a change in business model, features and functionality of price comparison sites. These price comparison sites do not "aggregate" data-feeds from suppliers; they search and gather the data directly from the supplier website. This enables a more complete list of suppliers and the ability to refresh the data in real-time.
Portals and search engines created similar websites including companies that wished to benefit from the rise in internet shopping launched similar sites. Many of these types of services have since ceased.
From 1998 and 1999, various businesses developed technology that queried retailer sites for prices. Consumers could then search for a product or service, and find a list of retailers and prices for that product or service. Advertisers did not have to pay for listing, but paid for every 'click through'. Other comparison engines have also evolved to provide consumers advanced price-monitoring tools, such as price alerts and price history monitoring. Learn more about price comparison sites here.

An Iranian actress has been banned from returning to her country after a nude photo of her appeared in a French Magazine.
Golshifteh Farahani appeared alongside Leonardo di Caprio in the movie Body of Lies.
The young actress, who lives in Paris, posed for the Madame Le Figaro magazine as a protest against the violations of women's rights in Iran, The Daily Telegraph reports.
Now the Iranian government has made Farahani persona non grata. The actress received a letter signed by Iranian officials advising her not to travel back to Iran.
The actress published the photographs on her Facebook page. This caused an immediate reaction from Iran and the Middle East, some accused her of indecency while others praised her courage for taking a stand.
The publication of Farahani's nude photograph coincided with the Iranian film The Separation winning the Golden Globe for best foreign film. In reply the Iranian government closed the House of Cinema Institute in Tehran.

The Kardashians
Is Newly Divorced Kris Humphries Headed Back To Court Already?
After a legal battle of more than a year and a half, Kris Humphries just settled his divorce from ex-wife Kim Kardashian on April 19, but is the NBA baller headed back to court already?!
According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Kris's former personal assistant Tracy Paradise is suing him for terminating her contract early—and she's suing his mom Debra too!
Paradise was reportedly hired as Kris' assistant in February 2012. In September of that year, according to the lawsuit, "the Humphries required Paradise to relocate from Minnesota to New York." As a player for the Brooklyn Nets, Kris lives in New York during the basketball season. Paradise was reportedly to be paid $3,500 a month for housing on top of her $75,000 annual salary. Her responsibilities were to include, "personal training, nutrition duties, body work, household management and [many, many!] other duties including work for the Kris Humphries Foundation."
Paradise reportedly claims that her contract was unfairly terminated in September 2012, before she moved to New York, and so the Humphries owe her the remaining $37,500.
Emails attached to the lawsuit apparently showcase some unpleasant (but funny) back-and-forths between Paradise and Debra Humphries, including haggling over much travel time they'd pay for while she drove to New York from Minnesota (one day), whether they'd pay for cable in her apartment (no), and professional struggles of Kris' sister, model Kaela Humphries (um, OK).
Oh, and the lawsuit also claims that the Humphries' kept some of her stuff? "Out of sheer spite, the Humphries have unjustifiably failed … to return Paradise's personal property," the lawsuit reads. Said property includes: a mountain bike, an Ironman Coeur d'Alene finisher's mug, a Whistler mug and a Magic Bullet blender.
Ohhh well in that case, can you blame them? Those blenders are awesome.

This estate is the holder of three online coffee auction records, once when it sold for $21 dollars a pound on June 29th, 2004, again on May 30, 2006 when it sold for $50.25 a pound and in May 2007 when it sold for $130 a pound.
Mike visits the Peterson Family every year and this year was no different. This past March Mike cupped an assortment of coffees at Hacienda La Esmeralda but nothing compared to the sophistication of the Mario. Mike's on site cupping notes described this coffee as - floral [ jasmine ] and bergamot, elegant, balanced, classic, rich, full, complex, dark berries, juicy body, savory, well integrated acidity backed with full sweetness. Likewise, Klatch's Esmeralda Mario Pascua crop from 2008 received a 94 points from Ken Davids from Coffee Review.

Hey folks,
COULD we change the subject line when we change subjects? I did not
anticipate a review of prostitute services (something I am not interested
in) when I opened this message, but a continuing of the conversational
thread in the subject line.
Yes, and until 1.2 it sucked 5 cheeks of ass. There are very few
GimpToolKit apps that don't blow like a 2 Peso whore with a 4 dollar
discount. So far, only Emma, Bluefish, the latest GIMP, Pan, X-Chat, and
CodeCommander leave me without nausea.

Few Business Schools' Admissions Decisions Hinge on GMAT Integrated Reasoning Score, Survey Finds
Dec 24, 2013 | 0 comments
A majority of business school admissions officers report that an applicant's score on the GMAT's new Integrated Reasoning (IR) section is not currently an important part of their evaluation of a prospective student's overall GMAT score, according to a recent survey by Kaplan Test Prep.
In its 2013 survey of business school admissions officers, Kaplan found that 57 percent of MBA programs say that they do not place significant weight on the scores applicants submit for the GMAT's new IR section, which was launched in August 2012. However, the survey did find that more than half (51 percent) of MBA programs list a low overall GMAT score as "the biggest application killer" for prospective applicants.
GMAT test takers receive a separate score for the IR section, which means that even very strong performance on other sections of the exam can't mask poor performance on this section.
"It's not surprising that a majority of business schools are not currently placing too much importance on the Integrated Reasoning section, since it makes sense they'd want to gather performance data on a new section before fully incorporating it into their evaluation process," Lee Weiss, executive director of pre-business programs for Kaplan Test Prep, said in a statement. Weiss went on to point out that since GMAT scores are valid for five years, not all applicants in 2012 or 2013 will have submitted the Integrated Reasoning section.
Business schools may decide that IR should play a greater role in admissions decisions moving forward, Weiss added. He cautioned that even though many business schools indicate that they are not placing significant emphasis on the new section yet, prospective applicants should still prepare for the new section as seriously as they do for the Quantitative and Verbal sections. "It still matters," he stressed.
Kaplan's 2013 survey included responses from 152 admissions officers from business schools across the United States, including five of the top 10 MBA programs, as compiled by U.S. News & World Report.
