A floater is a social mastermind who wavers between members of one particular clique or between multiple cliques in general, pitting people against one another and leeching out information without seeming like a threat. A perfected floater will appear incredibly trustworthy and neutral and will play both sides, but in reality, floaters look out for themselves and do whatever possible to keep themselves alive in any given scenario.
After playing both sides, floater Janina decided to attend neither Trichelle's nor Mindy's party, so that neither clique queen would be upset with her.

bits of plasma, protein, or vitreous that are suspended in the vitreous humor (the gelly substance that fills your eye ball)Though they are normal; most people will get them eventually. They can be congential (from birth) or develop (usually as you get older) They are annoying at first, but most people learn to cope with them. They can be best seen on bright days or while looking at a uniform object, such as the sky.

A person without a set group of friends or place to belong to. They drift aAround and meet new people, usually if dating someone. But if that relationship fails, they move onto the next lucky/unlucky clique. Floaters can either work alone or with a partner, but never exist as more than two people. Floaters are usually strange, creative, troubled, and/or have an offbeat sense of humor. Floaters usually don't mind being a floater, although bouts of loneliness may strike at times. A floater is usually single and plays the field.
After breaking up with her boyfriend, Ilona the floater found a new group of friends.
"What group of friends do you sit with?"
"Oh I only sit with my best friend. I'm a floater."
"What group of friends do you sit with?"

Here in South Carolina there are several places for cats and dogs to get help, and we have Carolina Wildlife Care to take in any wildlife in trouble... yet there are many needy animals that do not fall into either of these categories and have no place to go.
Animal Control and the SPCA do not have the facilities to keep such animals, and they are routinely euthanized. Many of them have never enjoyed decent food, a warm bed, or a special snack from a loving hand.
Cotton Branch Farm is a non-profit sanctuary which will be a refuge for such animals: horses, goats, cows, pigs, llamas, donkeys, mules, emus, chickens, turkeys and peacocks -- all the critters that are now falling through the cracks!
Now, abused and neglected critters will be able to live out their lives in comfort and peace, never to face hatred, confinement, or starvation again. They deserve no less!

Sonia Sanchez, Cigarroa High School principal, submitted her retirement two years after taking over the academically struggling school and taking it out of federal sanctions.
Sanchez's retirement comes amid an investigation into potential Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills testing irregularities at her high school by the Texas Education Agency.
But Sanchez said this has nothing to do with her decision to retire, and said she, herself, filed one of the two TAKS incident reports because she was concerned with the way test booklets were distributed to students.
"I didn't handle these tests, but I reported it to the district," she said Thursday.
Sanchez, who is in her early 50s and just completed 29 years with the Laredo Independent School District, said she retired because she needed time "to stop and smell the roses." "I was tired, and wanted to rest," she said. "I can't remember the last time I didn't do anything, because I don't know what it's like to not do anything. And the TAKS can take a toll on you." Sanchez said she hopes to return in a year or two.
TEA spokeswoman DeEtta Culbertson said the agency's assessment division is reviewing two reports of possible testing irregularities at Cigarroa.
"We hope to have it reviewed within the next few weeks," Culbertson said Thursday.
While TEA received two incident forms from LISD, both related to Cigarroa High School, it received 30 TAKS incident reports from nearby United ISD, "all of which were minor in nature," Culbertson said of UISD's incident reports.
"Because we do so much testing in the spring, we do receive numerous reports of irregularities that can be anything from someone accidentally breaking a seal on test, to the miscoding of students, to destroying a test because a student threw up on it," she said.
While Sanchez submitted one report, LISD officials submitted the other report, which pertains to Sanchez's registration of five new students, which left them unable to take the TAKS.
These students were enrolling late in the year, just prior to the TAKS exams, but they didn't bring in all the proper documentation and so weren't fully registered.
They lacked immunization records, proof of residency, or a parent's signature or presence, Sanchez said.
"We understand why this happened, but it still has to be reported to the state since these students couldn't take the TAKS," said Ernesto Guajardo, LISD executive director of human resources.
Guajardo said Sanchez's retirement from the district was amicable, and said she went to his office to inquire about what type of retirement package she could receive if she retired this year or next year.
"There was very little (salary) difference," Guajardo said, which Sanchez later confirmed.
Sanchez said she hopes the state and federal government's accountability system changes soon.
"Unfortunately, TAKS has taken the joy out of teaching," Sanchez said. "This monster has taken out the freedom of teaching." Sanchez, a 1975 Nixon High School graduate, received a bachelor's degree in science from the University of Texas at Austin, a master's degree in school administration from Texas A&I-Kingsville and a doctorate in education from Texas A&M-Kinsgville in Corpus Christi.
She worked as a science teacher at Christen Middle, Nixon High and Martin High, before becoming a curriculum specialist at Cigarroa High and Heights Elementary.
She served three years as principal of Sanchez/Ochoa Elementary before being appointed to the chief post at Cigarroa High.
In addition to Sanchez, three other LISD principals retired: Rosalinda Castro (Zachry Elementary), Virginia Flores (J.C. Martin Elementary) and Yolanda Perez (Ryan Elementary).
Assistant principals retiring include Hector Gomez (D.D. Hachar Elementary), Mario Guzman (Nixon High), August Herbeck (Nixon High), Randolph Hooper (Cigarroa High) and Jose Angel Salinas (Daiches Elementary).

MCCOMB – It wasn't the type of night on the road the Starkville Academy Volunteers wanted to have during a 35-12 loss to Parklane Academy on Friday.
Parklane jumped out to a 14-3 halftime advantage and never took its foot off the gas pedal as it generated 401 yards of total offense against SA.
Joseph Clark scored on an 11-yard run for Parklane to turn a 7-0 lead into 14-0 in the second quarter.
The Volunteers cut into the lead in the second quarter with a 31-yard field goal by Johnathon Burton.
After another Burton field goal of 25 yards in the third quarter, Clark hauled in a 59-yard touchdown pass to push the lead to 21-6 with 5:53 left in the third quarter.
Parklane scored once again to extend the margin to 28-6, but Starkville Academy put up a score in the fourth quarter when quarterback Drew Pellum found Colby Runnels for a 38-yard pass. The two-point conversion run failed and the Vols had their final points.
Parklane put the game away with a touchdown with less than a minute to play in the game.
Starkville Academy gained 159 yards on the ground as a team, which was split evenly between mainly three players. Pellum had 44 yards on eight carries, while Zach Slaughter added 37 yards on four attempts and Runnels chipped in 30 yards on nine carries.
Pellum completed 9 of 18 pass attempts for 125 yards and the touchdown to Runnels. Runnels had two catches for 59 yards and Hunter Bolin added 56 yards on four catches.
Stephen Robertson, Johnathon Black and Drew Harrell were credited for having good defensive play for the Vols.
Starkville Academy, which fell to 4-4 overall and 2-2 in Class AAA-District 2, hosts Winston Academy next week for homecoming.View more articles in:

Series history
The Nebraska special teams set the tone for the game as Mike Fullman returned a punt 79 yards for a touchdown less than five minutes into the game. On the return, Husker Mike Rucker laid a devastating block on K-State's Joe Gordon, which sent Gordon's helmet flying five yards downfield.
After the Wildcats responded with a TD to cut the lead to 7-6, Nebraska dominated the remainder of the first half, scoring 28 unanswered points for a 35-6 lead. Included in the outburst were two Tommie Frazier TD passes and an interception return for a score by outside linebacker Luther Hardin. The Huskers built a 42-6 lead late in the third before substituting on defense and allowing the Wildcats 19 unanswered fourth-quarter points.
Heisman candidate Tommie Frazier had another outstanding day, completing 10 of 16 passes for 148 yards and a career-high four touchdowns. Frazier also rushed six times for 36 yards against the Wildcats.
The Blackshirt defense continued to dominate, holding Kansas State to just 256 yards total offense, including minus-19 yards rushing. The game marked the fifth-best rushing defense effort by the Huskers and the 15th time in school history NU had held an opponent to negative yardage on the ground.
The Huskers applied constant pressure to the Wildcats, sacking K-State nine times for 82 yards in losses and posting a season-high 19 quarterback hurries. Linebacker Terrell Farley was a standout with 10 total tackles, including two sacks for 22 yards in losses.
The victory improved Nebraska to 7-0, marked Nebraska's 20th straight win overall, its 32nd straight regular-season win, 28th straight home win, 27th consecutive homecoming win and guaranteed Nebraska its 34th straight winning season.

In an industry where the average life of a band is about five years, Liquid Pleasure has set a new standard. As they enter their 29th year, they have firmly established themselves as the South's premiere show and dance band! Three out of the six present musicians who make up Liquid Pleasure are original members and grew up together in the shadow of the campus of UNC Chapel Hill. This type of longevity and consistency combined with exceptional talent, sets Liquid Pleasure apart from the rest. They perform all across the USA, from San Francisco to Vegas and New York plus everywhere in between. Over the years, the band has appeared with such notable artists as Paula Abdul, The Temptations, Whitney Houston, The Four Tops, Stacy LL Cool J, Aretha Franklin and Jeffery Osborne.
Whatever the occasion, Liquid Pleasure will treat you to an evening of pure fun and enjoyment!
Liquid Pleasure is:
Kenny Mann - Leader, manager, comedian, wise-cracker. He also finds time to play keyboards and all the horn parts. A founding member of the group, he is the creative force around which the band flows.
Melvin Farrington - Bass guitar; Melvin is an original member and is the man behind the thumping groove in the band's sound.
Leonard Hackney - Lead guitar; Leonard's good-natured humor and smooth licks are a driving force behind the band's sound and show. He is also an original member.
Archie Logan- Drums; The "new kid on the block". Archie, a native of New Haven CT, has been with the band for two years a lays down a smoking groove.
Anthony Springs- Lead vocals; Anthony has been with the band for over twenty years and brings a powerful vocal style along with acrobatic dance moves to the stage.
Charles White- Lead Vocals; Charles has been delivering a smooth and soulful vocal style and hot dance moves for over 11 years.

Liquid Pleasure was great! But I spent 4 years watching them in Chapel Hill, so I had no doubt they would be :)

They were wonderful! People danced from the beginning to the end. They kept the volume at a level that was low enough to suit me but kept the young people happy. They handled the first dance, father/daughter dance, the cake cutting, bouquet toss and leave taking perfectly. We couldn't have been happier!

The sound was awesome, the song selection was perfect (as far as I could tell), and they did a great job interacting with the bride and groom and the guests. The dance floor was completely full the entire time! Elizabeth (the bride) commented that people "raved and raved and that Liquid Pleasure was the best band that they had ever seen"! I thought we had asked for one female vocalist but there were three and they added so much to the band.

We have a long history with Kenny Mann and Liquid Pleasure that goes back 25 years. As this this was my last prom due to retirement, Kenny arranged as a surprise for me instead of a 9 piece band a 12 piece band and 3 vocalists; it was an evening I will never forget. Kenny is the "Man" that's for sure and to book Liquid Pleasure is to be certain your guests will have a fabulous time. This band is timeless and suits all ages. In my case our prom is for juniors and seniors, and the juniors were leaving prom that evening asking me to try and get Liquid Pleasure for next year. Just to show you how popular they are with our kids the seniors have been fortunate to have had Liquid Pleasure both years. The students not only like the music; they find the band members crowd friendly and engaging unlike other bands I have dealt with over the years, and they genuinely like young people. The prom wasn't over until midnight and Kenny kept them all dancing until then. Liquid Pleasure is also a "little bit of heaven."

I would like to second my daughter's remarks regarding Liquid Pleasure's performance this weekend. They were truly amazing...the best ever!!!!! Not only are their music and performing terrific, but they are so very interactive and engaging with the guests, young and old, that the experience becomes much more personal and festive. The play list appealed to all ages and even had the adult "cripples" with bad hips and knees out on the dance floor enjoying themselves and feeling young again! They relived a bit of their youth with Motown, Michael Jackson and other artists! Needless to say, the younger guests (and bride and groom) never wanted them to stop playing. I had the opportunity to talk a bit with Kenny, who is a great guy and real professional. Please give him and the entire band our regards and sincere thank you for an extra-special event!

St. Simons Cotillion
Liquid Pleasure was awesome! They were fantastic to work with, so agreeable and accommodating. This is the first Cotillion any of us remember the Cloister having to blink the lights to get people to leave! Usually, the bands we book are gone at least 30 minutes before the end of the contracted playing time. The dance floor was still packed at 11 pm. People were begging Kenny to stay! Because everyone was having so much fun with Kenny and the band, everyone stayed and visited while the band packed up. I was at a Cotillion meeting last night, and the ladies were still talking about Liquid Pleasure and quoting various members of the band! I think Elizabeth sold some rooms for New Years Eve!
Donna G.
Liquid Pleasure once again put on a great performance and lived up to the crowd's, and our, expectations!! It was great that all the young guests knew and loved the band from all their years in college and that was one more thing that built enthusiasm for the weekend ahead of time ... a treat for them to look forward to! It was a great night and the floor was packed and rockin right through the last song! And please thank them again for learning "Warm Love" and "You are the Sunshine of my Life" for the first dance and the father/daughter dance. We think they were the perfect choices!!

Of the four Star Trek: The Next Generation movies, Marina Sirtis liked one of them better than the rest.
"My favorite of all the movies was First Contact," said Sirtis. "I thought it was a great script and loved being directed by Jonathan [Frakes]. The others I liked in varying degrees but it was always a joy working with my lovely cast. After the series ended I think we all looked forward to working together again."

No. 2 seed Valley City State softball faces No. 5 Presentation College, whom the Vikings swept 4-0 in the regular season, at 10:15 a.m. Friday in the first round of this weekend's double-
elimination North Star Athletic Association/Frontier Conference Tournament in Jamestown.
The softball championship is scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday, the winner of which moves on the NAIA National Tournament Opening Round.
Valley City State baseball carries a No. 3 seed into Friday's 7 p.m. opening round game against No. 4 Dakota State, against whom the Vikings finished 3-1, in Valley City.
Hi-Liner girls tennis was in West Fargo on Tuesday for a cold and windy Eastern Dakota Conference match from which the Packers took a sunny 8-1 win.
"West Fargo took second in the State Tournament last year and didn't lose any players," Valley City head coach Matthew Nielson said. "Their top five players are seniors this year. They are a great team, and coach Chad Anderson does a great job with his program. The Packers won their first three EDC matches 9-0, and not only did we give them their first loss to go 8-1, but we also won a set at No. 1 Doubles, No. 2 Doubles and No. 2 Singles."
Hi-Liner softball appeared to have Tuesday night's two-point Eastern Dakota Conference contest against Fargo Shanley won with a 3-1 lead off of senior Paula Andel's two-out, two-RBI double in the bottom of the sixth, but Deacon sophomore Lauren Rotunda's two-out, two-strike double brought in two of three seventh-inning Shanley runs for the 4-3 escape.
Shanley's win avenged Saturday's 11-6 loss to the Hi-Liners in the Detroit Lakes Tournament closer.

High risk sex offender Robert Joseph Schultz, aka Joe Shultz, is registered as living at 230 Second Street in Eckelson as of April 28.
Shultz, 39, was convicted in 2011 of child abuse and neglect after he and his ex-wife played strip poker and truth or dare with two children ages 12 and 13. He allegedly caused a 12-year-old girl to be naked and play games involving nudity and touching. In addition, Schultz was charged with contributing to the deliquency of a minor after causing a 13-year-old boy to exhibit his genitals in a lewd manner and masturbate in front of Schultz.

Great, thanks! :^)
Rick O'Shaughnessy - would you be able to start burning a collection of discs
for the event? We have a few linked on the WEF page [*], and I'm always
open to suggestions.
Will you need sleeves? Labelling? (While not 'professional', I think
a sharpie and someone with good penmanship should suffice :^) )
I'll talk to Mike Simons about the status of the demo machine
(although I think it may be in Emily or Henry's possession now),
and whether we need to borrow a monitor. (Jimbo had offered, last I saw.)
Thx everyone!

First watercolor of 2009
in almost four weeks!
I bought a Sennelier panoramic format
watercolor paper block
that I really liked at Dick Blick.
The paper measures roughly
9 x 4 inches.
You're amazing! So precise.
Oh that is an interesting format. So beautiful!
Beautiful! Oh I wish I could paint like that, or even at all ;-)
And the photo composition is beautiful as well. :-)
I just bought some watercolour paper in exactly the same shape. However my painting is no where near like yours! I've had a 12year break from watercolours and am very rusty! (Also my eyesight has started to go! I think I need to go and get them checked! Very frustrating when you are trying to paint fine detail!)
I love your work and it is the reason I've gone and dug out some watercolours! Thank you
Beautiful! Such crisp and clean colours. Love the format too.
WoW! I have just discovered your blog and what an inspiration! I love your latest watercolour. Actually I love everything!!
How do you get the fish scales to have a white outline when using watercolour?
Michele from New Zealand.
I have been browsing your blog for a little over a month and I love IT! You style is so clean and vibrant, it makes me want to refine my work a little, my style is completely different. I so look forward to reading your blog everyday! Thanks for inspiration!!!
love the panoramic size. and just a note--my drawers never look that clean!!
You have the most neat, controlled water color I have ever seen. I would love be a fly on the wall of your studio... learning your secrets! Happy new year!
I love this watercolour paper !
What camera do u use geninne? Your photos are so beautifully shot! A very HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!!!!
Can I ask what kind of watercolor you use and what kind of pens you use for your journals?
I love that kind of paper and have been using it for some time.
I'm so impressed with your work! It's just so inspiring!
Bee from NYC
Love the panoramic format. Strathmore has a 6"x12" book of 10, linen canvas pad for acrylic that is a lot of fun, too. Your illustrations are beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
dont you just LOVe new notebooks? I LOVE your work, you are so creative and your work is so fresh and clean and always inspiring to me. thank you so so much. happy new year!!
Your watercolors must be really happy :)
your work is so fresh and fun. I came across you this morning, how lucky I am!
You could give a class in art supply organization!
I really love your watercolors! :D
Gaia from Italy
I just found your blog and it is so beautiful and inspiring. I will definitely be back!
Oh so pretty!!
hi geninne! happy new year! seems like you started your year with full energy! those watercolors are divine!!! :D keep sharing them!
Oooh! yummy paper!
This piece is beautiful. The fish is my favorite part. Have you even done a series of fish?

FORT WAYNE — Two days before Thanksgiving now, and here is Tyvel Jemison, sunglasses deployed, belting out "This Little Light Of Mine" like they shipped him in from Vegas. Here is the pep band reaching back to pull up a little "Ghostbusters" and Beach Boys, and of course a whole lot of the school fight song.
And here is interim Luers football coach Steve Keefer walking out onto the gleaming gym floor, all those championship banners swaying above his head like glory's own laundry.
"You see the product we put out on the field on Friday night," Keefer tells everyone gathered at Bishop Luers on Tuesday for yet another going-to-state pep rally. "But you don't see all that goes into it."
No, you sure don't. Especially this year.
Maybe out there in the world, north toward Chicago or west toward Lafayette or down in Indy where unbeaten Ritter awaits in Friday's Class 2A state championship game, there is nothing out of the ordinary about any of this. Bishop Luers has won three straight 2A football titles and 10 in all, and, about 10 seconds after they pummeled Evansville Mater Dei last Thanksgiving weekend, everyone was penciling them in for next year. And now it's next year, and here the Knights are.
Same-old, same-old, in other words.
So how do you tell all those people out in the world that nothing is the same this time?
Maybe you start by taking them back to mid-September, when the Knights were still being coached by nine-time state champ Matt Lindsay. And then, over one weekend, Lindsay was gone, dismissed as coach and athletic director.
Lindsay was fired from Luers after officials there found "inappropriate" videos on both his work-issued and home computer.
And Keefer, who coached Luers to its first state title in 1985, was handed the reins.
It all could have gone south right there, because even a team as experienced as Luers – 24 seniors, all of them with three rings – is still composed of high school kids, and high school kids are notably vulnerable to upheaval.
And this upheaval was seismic.
Here's the thing, though: Instead of going south, Luers went forward.
"My message was 'Hey, we're not going to look backward, we're going to look forward and be positive,' " Keefer says. "That was our mantra and the kids bought into that."
Didn't take a lot of selling.
"We knew we had a lot at stake," Jemison says. "So we just moved past what happened with coach Lindsay. We had to move on because you can't keep looking back."
And so they did. After a four-loss regular season, they beat Woodlan and Eastside and Churubusco in the sectional, came from behind on the road to knock out Tipton in the regional and rolled over Andrean in the semistate.
"You know, actually that first week, we had a very good week of practice," says offensive coordinator Kyle Lindsay, who coached one game before Keefer was appointed. "The kids came out, and they looked at it as, 'Hey, there's nothing we can do about the situation, we just have to work and get better as a team.' And they did that."
Credit those 24 seniors, and a coaching staff that's been together forever and a day, for making it happen.
"It's been a very tough year," Notre Dame-bound Jaylon Smith says. "We've overcome by staying together as a group. Just had to rally around each other."
As never before.

Code rage
I've learned long ago most heated arguments are pointless exercises. That's not to say I never get into them, I do. I just realize they are pointless. But sometimes I can't help myself.
The reason they are pointless is because when an argument becomes heated it means it's getting emotional. At this point, neither side wants to be convinced and the chances of any rational discussion goes to zero.
When this happens to me, it's usually because I perceive the other side is refusing to listen to reason. And I tend to get mad. I feel it in my shoulder's, a frustration that rises and becomes irritation. This irritation becomes anger. Anger becomes "Why won't this FUCKTARD acknowledge FUCKING REALITY!!!" and then productive communication ceases. Plus I want to win.
Been there. Done that. Way too many times.
So I try not to get into those arguments, it's pointless. But still I do sometimes.
Anyway, recently, I was dealing with some particularly frustrating work related thing, filing expenses. The process seemed unnecessarily convoluted and it started to annoy me. A lot.
Then I noticed I started getting that tight feeling in my shoulders. I started to feel anger. But I continued.
And I got angrier.
And I yelled out "GAHHHH!! I HATE THIS SHIT!"
Then I felt slightly better.
After calming down a little I realized that because the process didn't seem particularly rational, I was getting frustrated with it in the same way I'd get frustrated when arguing with a person. Only the expense process is the most pig-headed debater ever. Any demands to explain its self are met with silence. It never responds to reason, it has no pity or remorse. All I get from it are the next steps in the process.
The expense process might be completely rational, but I can't tell. To me it looks like it's complicated just for the hell of it and it mocks me when I'm not looking.
Then I realized not only did I feel like this when arguing with people and expense processes. I had experienced this exact anger when programming. A lot.
When using Erlang and the OTP libraries, some parts seem so non-intuitive and cumbersome as to be downright illogical. It becomes extremely frustrating, they seem to be annoying and contrary just for the hell of it. Those bastards!
Many times working with Erlang I became angry. The same frustrated, "why aren't you more reasonable!?!" anger. And I would literally lose my temper, swearing out loud at code and text and wanting to slap some sense into the API.
Oh yeah, and Antlr too.
Antlr, I remember as I was first picking it up, just seemed so odd and complex that it made me mad as hell for days on end. It was tough going, I would start to work with it, get frustrated and feel anger, physically, in my body and have to get up and walk around to try to diffuse it.
I know other people get this, and no wonder so many give up on their projects. Sometimes wrapping my brain around something actually feels as if I'm physically wrapping my brain around something. Trying to get anything done can make me mad as hell with no one to yell at except stupid code and documentation.
Fortunately -- while I'm not a patient person -- I am a forgiving person. And in the case of Erlang and Antlr, I made an effort to forgive them for being so damn weird and hurting my noodle, and I tried to see the world through their perspectives.
Try as I might, I can't make the anger magically stop. I can only deal with it as is comes, manage it and try to put it to good use. And so I persevered, tried to work of my anger in he gym (really there's nothing like lifting heavy weights to relieve aggression) and eventually figured out where these crazy tools were coming from. They've both changed my mind for the better.
And they both still piss me off sometimes, but we're still friends.
Now if I could only learn to do that with people.

Last week Wife and I reached our 15th wedding anniversary.┬ĀSince it was a number divisible by five, and that seems to be the American standard for amplified celebrations (who determined that, by the way?), we thought it was time for a weekend excursion.┬ĀSince I had a FatherŌĆÖs Day gift promise of a Viking Cooking School class waiting in the proverbial wings, we decidedŌĆōor rather, Wife agreed ŌĆö that we could spend our anniversary in the Mississippi Delta.
The Viking School is an offshoot of the Viking Range company based in Greenwood, and they offer a wide variety of classes in about seventeen locations around the country. If you just want to watch someone else cook, you can do thatŌĆōor you can cook most all of it yourself. The only advantage that demos have over watching Food Network is that you get to eat the demo meal afterwards. I wanted to cook and eat, so I set out to find a class that would appeal to both of us. Ultimately, I signed up for a class called ŌĆ£Date Night Decadent DinnerŌĆØ ŌĆö appropriate for an anniversary, I thoughtŌĆōand off we went.┬Ā
The evening began with a basic overview of the menu, then we pretty quickly got down to cooking. One of the primary kitchen skills that I lack is timing.┬ĀI really do try to think ahead, but it is rare that each dish is ready to eat at the appointed hour.┬ĀItŌĆÖs just not my spiritual gift.┬Ā This class was good for me in that respect. We chopped parsley, roasted shallots, and saut├®ed pancetta for a vinaigrette to be named later.┬ĀLobster cakes were made in three different stages. A souffl├® rose and fell before our eyes. It all came together in the end like it was supposed to, and that was a new feelingŌĆōand it was good. And at the end of the evening we sat down and ate what we had cooked ŌĆö and it was very good.
The lobster cakes were first on the agenda.┬ĀThe lobster had been pre-cooked for us, so all we had to do was mix it with the other ingredients and make our patties. Nothing too fancy here, just a basic crab cake made with lobster.┬ĀWhat added the extra degree of deliciousness was the champagne butter sauce that was drizzled on top.┬ĀWife thought the flavor was a bit strong ŌĆö it did have a lemony kick you couldnŌĆÖt miss ŌĆö but I thought it added a nice contrast to the sweet taste of the lobster. Of course, by the time the champagne, vinegar and lemon juice were boiled down to practically nothing, it was mostly butter.┬ĀLots and lots of butter.┬ĀNo complaining here.┬Ā
The token green vegetable was asparagus with roasted shallot vinaigrette and diced pancetta.┬Ā IŌĆÖve noticed lately that lots of vinaigrette recipes call for shallots, and before a year or two ago I doubt I had ever shopped for shallots.┬ĀI wouldnŌĆÖt have known what to look for in the grocery store if it hadnŌĆÖt said shallot on the label.┬ĀMy poor taste buds have been deprived, apparently, because three out of the four sauces we made that night called for them.┬ĀAs we were finishing up the vinaigrette, one of the instructors came by to check on us and said that every minute we had spent on this was worth it ŌĆö even she thought it was that good.┬ĀTruth be told, fresh asparagus is a recently self-approved entry into my diet as well.┬ĀI only knew it from the can as a lad, and in that form it wasnŌĆÖt my cup of tea at all.┬ĀI learned from a fellow classmate that the woody ends break off pretty easily right about the point one would want to cut them anyway.┬Ā IŌĆÖll take a good tip just about anywhere I can get it.
I was a little nervous about the blue cheese souffl├®.┬ĀI had never made a souffl├® before, and what I had heard about the difficulty of making them was not encouraging.┬ĀBut on this dish Wife and I ended up being the primary cooks, and together we made a pretty respectable souffl├®.┬ĀHappy anniversary to us.┬ĀNow we have a good excuse to pull out those little ramekins she gave me for Christmas.┬Ā
The main dish was herb-crusted beef tenderloin stuffed with wild mushrooms. The instructor showed us how to cut an ŌĆ£xŌĆØ in the end of the meat, then bore out a hole with the end of a wooden spoon.┬ĀI stuffed the tenderloin with the pre-cooked mushroom mix, rolled it in herbs, salt and pepper, seared each side, then roasted it in the oven until it was done.┬Ā We made a little sauce from the pan drippings, and with all the elements in one bite, the umami scale was through the roof.┬Ā
The meal itself began and ended with dishes that the instructors had prepared beforehand. I suppose they figured it was hard to mess up the salad.┬ĀThere was some skill involved in making the dressing, but we had learned similar skills with other vinaigrettes and sauces on the nightŌĆÖs menu.┬ĀThe dessert ŌĆö key lime cranberry cheesecake with chocolate crumb crust ŌĆö required a separate set of skills I would have loved to hone, but the total preparation time took considerably more hours than we were allotted in the teaching kitchen.┬ĀAt the end of the night, I ended up with a piece of cheesecake and the recipe, so IŌĆÖm still not complaining. ┬Ā
Now is the true test: can we make this at home without instructors standing at our side?┬ĀAnd with three things that need to go in the stove at different temperatures, can we get all these dishes on the table at the same designated hour?┬ĀOnly time will tell.┬ĀAnd since I am still full from eating well throughout the weekend, time is definitely what IŌĆÖve got.┬Ā

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Wednesday, 18 January 2012 11:31AM
The YouGov BrandIndex measures consumers' perception of brands on a daily basis across quality, value, customer satisfaction, corporate reputation, general impression and likelihood of consumers to recommend the brand.
The top-six brands in the index for 2011, which include the BBC, Heinz and Sony, have held these positions since 2010.
The only new brand to enter the top 20 on the index is Unilever-owned Dove, replacing Nokia, which had a difficult 2011 as its mobile phones were hit by the increasing usage of Apple and Google-Android smart phones.
YouGov attributed Dove's performance to the on-going success of its "real beauty" campaign.
Only three brands have improved their rating score over the past year, namely Amazon, Colgate and Cathedral City, while Cadbury, Waterstones and Bosch are the only three brands to have dropped places in the top 20, apart from Nokia.
YouGov said the brands that appeared to dominate the news were comparatively low down in UK consumers' overall ratings, with Apple ranking at number 40, Facebook at number 182 and Twitter at number 615.
Other brands that performed the best out of their sectors, but did not reach the index's top 20 are Virgin Atlantic within the airline sector; Microsoft within IT, Skype within the telecoms sector; Post Office within high-street banks; Premier Inn for hotels, and Money Saving Expert for the online services sector.
In November last year, Lord Alan Watson, Havas Media UK chairman, said brands' marketing "has to change", after a UK consumer study found only 5% of brands, topped by M&S, had a positive impact on customers' quality of life.

'Men in Black 3's Will Smith credits Arnold Schwarzenegger for his fame
" Men in Black 3" star Will Smith checked international superstardom off his bucket list years ago. But he credits "The Terminator" himself ( Arnold Schwarzenegger) for teaching him a thing or two about being major.
"I was in Australia in 1990 with Sylvester Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis; they were opening Planet Hollywood," Smith says. "It was just the first year of ' Fresh Prince,' so I'm like [looking around], 'Oh yeah, this is crazy. This is great!'"
Smith, busy promoting "MiB 3" at a press junket, continues. "I'm sitting there with those guys, and Arnold says, 'Young man, I want you to know, you cannot just be a movie star in the United States. You're only a movie star if they know you around the world.' Then Bruce talked about it for a little while. They put that into my mind very clearly, and from that point, [I] made it a point to open new markets. That's how you hold a movie star."
Fame first came Smith's way when he debuted as the hippest kid in Philly on hit sitcom, " The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and his popularity hasn't waned since. Rapping, acting, media-moguling -- the energized comedian can handle a lot, and he does so with ceaseless enthusiasm. Even though, as he notes, the old days living with Uncle Phil are still his supreme distinction.
Remarks the actor, "What's crazy for me is that the ' Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' is the biggest thing I've ever done. It's just amazing how that television show was sort of a stroke of luck. Because of the amount of outlets for that show, a nine-year-old kid thinks it's brand new....Jaden [Smith] just can't figure out how people thought it was okay for me to wear the clothes I was wearing. He's like, 'Dude, that just shouldn't be on TV.' Willow gets it."
Now promoting his first film in three years, Smith discussed the return of Agent J in the blockbuster sci-fi series, out May 25, an action comedy based on Marvel's comic book where aliens collide with CIA-ish agents in an often sloppy battle to run free on Planet Earth. In the third edition, Smith's character goes back in time to meet Agent K ( Tommy Lee Jones) in his younger years (as played by Josh Brolin), and divert his partner's future assassination.
The actor is also currently in talks to star with Denzel Washington in a remake of " Uptown Saturday Night," though nothing has been confirmed.
"We're trying to get it together, me and Denzel. That would be a great thing. Again, the material has to be right to deserve all that man power," says the star. "When I first asked Denzel, he's like, 'I'm not funny, man.' I was like, 'That was funny, that you said that!' He was a little concerned about the comedy. We're working on it.'"

SACRAMENTO, CA-A small cocker spaniel was pulled from a car by Sacramento firefighters Wednesday afternoon as the temperature soared to 100 degrees.
An embarrassed couple later came to claim the dog,telling mall securitythey'd been checking on the animal every 15 minutes.
But Arden Fair Mall security officers had also been checking on the dog using a special laser gun to measure the heat inside the car. When it approached 100 degrees, they called for firefighters.
"This is the fourth one we've had this year,"mall security Chief Steve Reed said.
The spaniel was panting and sweating profusely when firefighters pulled it out, but seemed to recover quickly.
"Even though the individual said he had been coming out there every 15 minutes -put a fur coat on and sit in a car that's a 100 degrees - it's not gonna be very good for you," Reed said.
Sacramento Animal Control was also called and ended up fining the couple $200 for leaving an unsupervised animal in a car;illegal under a Sacramento City ordinance.
Animal control officer John Sorrels said they see many calls for help, even on the hottest summer days when pets can die after only a few minutes in a car when the temperature canreach over 100 degrees.
"They could die, they get heatstroke. We'll have to break your window out, maybe, and take your dog and take it to the vet and you may or may not get it back. Might find yourself in court," Sorrels said.
Asked about the incident, the dog's owner did not seem to have regrets.
"The car's in the shade. I've come out every 15 minutes checking on it," thedog's ownersaid.
The couple first left without their dog, but then came back to pick itup from mall security. They did tell a mall security officer they were embarrassed by all the attention.
Reed was unmoved.
"At this point I'm not concerned about their embarrassment, I am concerned about the animals safety," Reed said.
Fortunately, when the small, brown spaniel left about an hour later, it seemed fine.

"Are your glands swollen?"
"She has a gland problem."
When people talk about glands, what do they mean? The answer is many different things. Glands are important organs, you have a variety of them all over your body, and though many of them are small, each produces something important.
Some glands make something that is released from the body — like saliva, sweat, or tears. And if you're a girl, the mammary glands in your breasts could someday make breast milk to feed a baby.
Other glands release hormones (say: hor-mones), which are substances inside your body that tell it how to work and how to grow. Glands that do this are part of the endocrine (say: en-doh-krin) system. Puberty — body changes that turn a kid into an adult — depend on the endocrine system.
Still other things that we call "glands" are part of your immune (say: ih-myoon) system. They release substances that help you fight off illnesses and, if you are sick, help you get better. When you have a bad cold and your neck glands are swollen, that is your immune system in action.

Recovery of Hawaii Attorneys Fees (Part 1)
Friday, February 24th, 2012
This is an updated version of a blog first published on September 19, 2006
Under Hawaii law, in certain commercial cases, the prevailing party may recover some or all of its attorneys fees from the losing party. HRS § 607-14, states as follows:
§ 607-14 Attorneys' fees in actions in the nature of assumpsit, etc. In all the courts, in all actions in the nature of assumpsit . . . there shall be taxed as attorneys' fees, to be paid by the losing party and to be included in the sum for which execution may issue, a fee that the court determines to be reasonable . . . . The court shall then tax attorneys' fees, which the court determines to be reasonable, to be paid by the losing party; provided that this amount shall not exceed twenty-five per cent of the judgment.
* * * *
The above fees provided for by this section shall be assessed on the amount of the judgment exclusive of costs and all attorneys' fees obtained by the plaintiff, and upon the amount sued for if the defendant obtains judgment.
Haw. Rev. Stat. § 607-14 (emphasis added).
There are certain key points regarding this statute about which each client should be made aware, including the following:
1. Plaintiff's recovery of attorneys fees is capped at twenty five percent (25%) of the judgment awarded. Thus, for example, if the plaintiff is awarded a judgment of $100,000, the plaintiff's recovery is capped at 25% of $100,000 or $25,000.
2. The defendant's recovery is capped at 25% of the damages unsuccessfully sought by plaintiff. Thus, for example, if the plaintiff seeks $100,000, the defendant's potential award is capped at $25,000.
3. If the plaintiff doesn't specify the amount that he is seeking and it is impossible for the Court to determine the damages sought by the plaintiff, the prevailing defendant may be awarded all of its reasonable attorneys fees. Thus, the plaintiff is highly encouraged to specify early in the case the damages that plaintiff is seeking to ensure that if the plaintiff is unsuccessful, the attorneys fees award is capped.
4. The Hawaii Supreme Court has held that the attorneys fees award under HRS § 607-14 is not discretionary. The Court must award attorneys fees to the prevailing party.
5. The statute only applies to cases concerning "assumpsit" damages. The Hawaii Supreme court has defined an "assumpsit" case as a claim "for the recovery of damages for the non performance of a contract . . . as well as quasi contractual obligations." Schulz v. Honsador, Inc. 67 Haw. 433 (1984). Although this law only applies to matters of "assumpsit," it has been applied to various types of litigation including breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and legal malpractice so long as they concern (i) an attempt to recover damages and (ii) a contractual arrangement.
Unfortunately, Hawaii does not have a similar attorneys fee provision in personal injury cases. Moreover, although HRS § 607-14 is not the only Hawaii law that allows for the recovery of attorneys fees. Therefore, when analyzing a case, a Hawaii attorney should also explore other theories that may allow the recovery of attorneys fees. Those theories will be discussed in subsequent entries of this blog.
In part two of this blog, we will discuss recent decisions by the Hawaii Intermediate Court of Appeals and the Hawaii Supreme Court which have clarified when HRS § 607-14 applies to quasi contractual obligations.
Part three of this blog will address the case of Kona Village Realty, Inc. v. Sunstone Realty Partners, XIV, LLC, 121 Hawai'i 110, 214 P.3d 1100 (Hawai'i App. 2009), in which the Intermediate Court of Appeals clarified the collections of attorneys fees in arbitrations, which was affirmed by the Hawaii Supreme Court.

Hawaii Personal Injury Attorneys Must Get Court Approval Of Settlements For Minors
Thursday, February 2nd, 2012
A Hawaii personal injury attorney must be mindful of special procedures he or she must follow when litigating a personal injury action on behalf of a minor or an incapacitated person. Because a minor or incapacitated person cannot make an informed decision regarding his or her case, Hawaii law requires that any settlement or judgment received in a minor's court case be approved by a judge presiding in probate and that a conservator is appointed on behalf of the minor or incapacitated person. Rule 101 of the Hawaii Probate Rules makes it the Plaintiff's Attorney's responsibility to initiate a conservatorship action for the eventual settlement or judgment in favor of the minor or incapacitated plaintiff. Rule 101 of the Hawaii Probate Rules states as follows:
Rule 101. PERSONAL INJURY RECOVERIES.
When a minor or incapacitated person receives a settlement or judgment from any claim or action, a conservatorship action must be initiated by the plaintiff's attorney and any settlement approved by the court insofar as it affects the protected person or respondent. The judge presiding in probate shall appoint a conservator for the minor or incapacitated individual and determine whether any settlement is reasonable. A flag sheet shall be presented pursuant to Rule 103 for any hearing on a petition that seeks compromise of a tort claim on behalf of a minor or incapacitated person.
Hawaii Rules of Probate Court R. 101.
The personal injury attorney's responsibility to initiate conservatorship proceedings and obtain judicial approval of settlement or judgment extends to matters in Federal Court. Indeed, Rule 17.1 of the Local Rules of the District Court of Hawaii requires that Federal Court litigants abide by state laws (i.e., HRP 101) as to court approval of settlements involving minors. Rule 17.1 provides as follows:
Except as otherwise permitted by statute or federal rule, no action by or on behalf of a minor or incompetent shall be dismissed, discontinued, or terminated without the approval of the court. When required by state law, court approval shall also be obtained from the appropriate state court having jurisdiction over such matters for any settlement or other disposition of litigation involving a minor or incompetent.
LR 17.1 (emphasis added).
Additionally, even Hawaii personal injury attorneys obtaining settlements or awards in arbitration in favor of a minor or incapacitated person must initiate a conservatorship proceeding and have that settlement or award approved by a judge sitting in probate. H.R.S. § 658A-22 states that a party receiving an arbitration award may ask the court to confirm the award. H.R.S. § 658A-22 provides as follows:
After a party to an arbitration proceeding receives notice of an award, the party may make a motion to the court for an order confirming the award at which time the court shall issue a confirming order unless the award is modified or corrected pursuant to section 658A-20 or 658A-25 or is vacated pursuant to section 658A-23.
The confirmation of an arbitration award converts the award into an enforceable judgment, thus triggering Hawaii Probate Rule 101. Mikelson v. United Services Auto. Ass'n, 122 Hawai'i 393, 396 (Hawai'i App. 2010) ("Confirmation of an arbitration award is an 'expeditious procedure for reducing or converting the arbitration award to a judgment which can be enforced by judicial writ.'"). The Hawaii personal injury attorney who receives a favorable outcome for his or her minor or incapacitated client is cautioned not to forget these important special requirements in representing a minor or incapacitated client.

Friday's fire sent an ominous black plume of smoke into the air reminiscent of the deadly 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion that transformed the oil industry and life along the U.S. Gulf Coast
James A. Watson, the director of Louisiana's Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, said in a statement Saturday that his agency had begun "an investigation into the explosion and fire aboard a Black Elk Energy production platform offshore Louisiana."
"BSEE is committed to determining the direct and indirect causes of the explosion and will take appropriate enforcement action," he said.
The Deepwater Horizon blaze killed 11 workers and led to an oil spill that took months to bring under control. Friday's fire came a day after BP PLC agreed to plead guilty to a raft of charges in the 2010 spill and pay a record $4.5 billion in penalties.
There were a few important differences between this latest blaze and the one that touched off the worst offshore spill in U.S. history: Friday's fire was put out within hours, while the Deepwater Horizon burned for more than a day, collapsed and sank.
The Black Elk Energy facility is a production platform in shallow water, rather than an exploratory drilling rig like the Deepwater Horizon looking for new oil on the seafloor almost a mile (1.6 kilometers) deep.
The depth of the 2010 well blow-out proved to be a major challenge in bringing the disaster under control.
The Black Elk Energy platform is in 56 feet (17 meters) of water — a depth much easier for engineers to manage if a spill had happened.
A sheen of oil about a half-mile (800 meters) long and 200 yards (180 meters) wide was reported on the Gulf surface, but officials believe it came from residual oil on the platform.
"It's not going to be an uncontrolled discharge from everything we're getting right now," Coast Guard Capt. Ed Cubanski said.
Hoffman, the Black Elk Energy spokeswoman, said Saturday that there were still no signs of any leak or spill at the platform site.
BP's blown-out well spewed millions of gallons (liters) of oil into the sea, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River on the east side of the river delta. The crude fouled beaches, marshes and rich seafood grounds.
After Friday's blaze, 11 people were taken by helicopter to area hospitals or for treatment on shore by emergency medical workers.
The production platform is on the western side of the Mississippi River delta.
"This platform was not in operation and had been shut in since mid-August," Black Elk officials said in a news release Saturday.
Cubanski said the platform appeared to be structurally sound. He said only about 28 gallons (106 liters) of oil were in the broken line on the platform.
David Smith, a spokesman for the Interior Department's Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement in Washington, said an environmental enforcement team was dispatched from a Gulf Coast base by helicopter soon after the Coast Guard was notified of the emergency. Smith said the team would scan for any evidence of oil spilling and investigate the cause of the explosion.
Black Elk Energy is an independent oil and gas company. The company's website says it holds interests in properties in Texas and Louisiana waters, including 854 wells on 155 platforms.
Associated Press writers Kevin McGill in New Orleans and Jeff Amy in Jackson, Miss., and Norman Gomlak and Greg Schreier in Atlanta contributed to this story.

- Defeat Boll
- Pick up Boll's ECHO
- The first ECHO is hanging from a ship near Boll
- Another is in the North, turn the valve near a driller and it will shoot out
- A third is in the South, atop a large pipe near a treasure chest
Ever faked your own death? Tricky stuff. Did it a couple years back to throw Hyperion off my trail, but apparently some bandit's been spying on me. He's gonna tell Hyperion what he knows, unless you take him out first.
With the peeping tom dead and his footage destroyed, Hyperion remains clueless about Lilith's location.
Defeat Boll
Lilith: Did he just drop something? Check it out.
Recording begins.
Mister Blake: Mister Ball, we at Hyperion are skeptical - the bandit Lilith was confirmed dead after the liberation of New Haven. We will need to listen to your footage before payment can be processed; leave the ECHOs in the attached dead drop locations.
Recording ends.
Lilith: Find those ECHOs, killer. If Hyperion finds out I'm alive and working with the Crimson Raiders, it could be New Haven all over again.
First ECHO
The first echo is located at a bandit camp build under a ship, look for the anchor hanging from the ship. Shoot it down, the echo is attached.
Roland: I like this place. Hyperion shouldn't be able to find you here.
Lilith: Thanks. I tried to make it very...
Roland: Gruesome?
Lilith: I was gonna say "cozy."
Roland: You've strapped charred bandit corpses around the entrance.
Lilith: Corpses can be cozy. Kinda like our place in New Haven, before, um...
Roland: Yeah, I'm going now.
Lilith: Sighs. Suave, Lilith.
Second ECHO
This one is located outside of sanctuary near the skags. Look for a dirt outcrop with metal railings, attached will be a valve. Turn it and the steam will shoot the echo out.
Roland: So what's the emergen--
Lilith: --I... liquified a guy.
Roland: Come again?
Lilith: I was out hunting, and I found some of that Eridium... stuff, and one of those weird worshipper guys sees me. And I chase him down and grab him and he just...
Roland: Liquified?
Lilith: It was awesome! I dunno if it's 'cause of the Vault opening, or being a Siren, or both - but this Eridium stuff is the tits.
Roland: You look really pale.
Lilith: Yeah, I passed out a few times. But this could be huge!
Roland: Okay, but why not just send an ECHO? Why call me out here and increase the risk of Hyperion finding out you're still working with the Crimson Raiders?
Lilith: Uh... um, because y--... ho-- how are you doing?
Roland: I think I'm gonna leave now.
Lilith: Okay.
Third ECHO
The third echo is located in the south-east corner of the map, atop some pipes next to a treasure chest.
Lilith: ...Jack just left 'em for dead in the snow, evidently. The Raiders could use the help - you should track them down.
Roland: Another Vault Hunter, huh? I'll see if I can contact 'em by ECHO on the way back to Sanctuary.
Lilith: Good. You can go now.
Roland: What, I'm sorry? I just got here.
Lilith: I'm a little busy waging a one-woman war on every bandit in the tundra so YOU can focus on taking down Jack. But hey, if you wanna hang out, I can just give up this Firehawk thing and let the Bloodshots overrun Sanctuary.
Roland: Uh, no - no, you're, uh, you're right, of course.
Lilith: Are you sure? I could make cocoa. We could talk about boys.
Roland: I'll, uh - I'll just talk to you once I've found the Vault Hunter. Sorry for -- sorry.
Sound of door closing.
Lilith: Play hard-to-get. That's how ya do it.
Turn in
Thanks. The less Hyperion knows about me, the better. You didn't, uh... listen to those ECHOs, right?
