DuPont wants the dirt on your dirty work, via a photo contest that captures the gritty, grimy, splattered glory of industrial jobs.
The 2012 DuPont Tyvek "Dirty Work" Photo Contest is recruiting photos of industrial painters and other workers going about their dirty duties clad in Tyvek personal protective wear.
Photos: DuPont
"We want to see you in your dirtiest, grimiest DuPont Tyvek garment during or after your dirty job," the company says. "Upload your photo, and tell us about what you do and how you get so dirty."
Coated in Glory
The protective and marine coatings industry is a natural for the contest. Last year's "Dirty Work" contest winner was a painter, and a team of tank cleaners took second place.
Winners can clean up with a number of cash prizes.
Photos should show all appropriate safety wear and the correct Tyvek garment for the job, DuPont emphasizes. Entrants may submit up to five photos a day. The contest runs through Sept. 30.
Complete rules are available on Tyvek's site.

"Very nice home with all the thing you would ever need. We were very impressed at how we felt instantly at home and not at a hotel. Very personable, and the owner was available with anything I needed. I will definitely be booking here again next winter! Nicely located, very quiet and relaxing! The fireplace was a nice added touch after a day on the mountain. Four adults and a child fit perfectly with room to spare. The kitchen was very well-stocked!"Guest: Kristen S.

"What a fantastic home for a "family get-together"! Layout is perfect for a casual and relaxing time in the mountains. There is easy access to the mountain and to the town. Having a large group to accommodate...... there are many different desires and demands to consider.....everyone had a wonderful time, and we all look forward to our next trip back!"Guest: karl Date of Stay: November 2014 Review Submitted: November 25, 2014View listing
"Stayed here with a group of 10 people, and there was more than enough room for everyone to spread out. The entire house is top notch, and is well equipped with anything you could possibly need. It could easily support a group even larger than ours. We especially loved the huge hot tub after a long day on the slopes. While it's not exactly ski-in, it's only a short 5-min walk to the base of peak 8. The owner Paul is a pleasure to work with, and really cares about your enjoyment. We will definitely be back next year if our group size is the same."Guest: Tim Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: March 4, 2015View listing
"You will not go wrong with this rental house. We've rented three years in a row and have nothing but positive things to say. The location is fantastic - easy ski in and out to peak 8. The house is enormous and completely equipped. There is space for everyone to be together or to have privacy. The setting couldn't be more perfect. Everything is well maintained and Jane and Tom are fantastic. The driveway and sidewalks are immediately cleared of fresh snowfall. I cannot say enough about this house.

At a revealing dinner in February 2013 (full article here) Primo Franco rallied against volume-orientated producers in Prosecco and extolled the virtues of wines produced from hand-tended vines located on the verdant hillsides of his Valdobbiadene, over those that are machine tended and located on the plains below. The tasting of Primo's range of "Nino Franco" Prosecco that followed was conclusive and showed that vines tended with love, affection and human hands(!) tended to produce wines that are more flavoursome, complex and attractive than mass produced equivalents. It is this that is that is at the heart of the Nino Franco winemaking philosophy.
Originally established in 1919 as the "Cantine Franco" winery by Antonio Franco, today the Nino Franco winery produces more than a million bottles of wine a year. Whilst the majority of grapes are purchased from a network of growers (each of whom are assisted by Nino Franco technicians throughout the year) a few hectares of vineyards are estate owned.
More than half a dozen DOCG classified Prosecco are currently produced at the Nino Franco winery, with "Faive" (a Merlot-based sparkling rosé) and the new "Primo Brut" (a sparkling Chardonnay) the only wines of the Nino Franco range not to be produced from Glera grapes.
The "Primo Franco" Prosecco Superiore might be this winery's signature bottling, but two single vineyard Prosecco (the "Riva di San Floriano" and "Grave di Stecca" bottling) are just as accomplished.

|Nino Franco's Riva di San Floriano vineyard
Nino Franco "Primo Franco" Prosecco, Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG (2013)
Primo Franco is the current winemaker and owner of the Nino Franco winery and this "Primo Franco" Prosecco is his signature wine. Crafted with aim of producing a Prosecco that is both utterly well balanced and reflective of the Valdobbiadene "terroir", Primo crafts this bottling with some of his best Glera grapes from the verdant hillsides of Valdobbiadene and 32g/l of residual sugar. Aromas of apricots, peach and honeysuckle all appear on the nose, before a succulent and beautifully mousy palate unfolds. As in the 2012 vintage, this wine is extremely difficult to fault. The combination of complex and intense ripe stone fruit flavours and an extremely elegant mousse is hard to resist! 92 points.
Nino Franco "Riva di San Floriano" Prosecco, Valdobbiadene Sup. DOCG (2013)
"Riva di San Floriano" is a vineyard located above Primo Franco's home and the town of Valdobbiadene, on a steep hillside (near the church of San Floriano). A distinctive single vineyard wine, this "Riva di San Floriano" Prosecco offers aromas of dried banana and white peach and an exuberantly fruity palate. Slightly leaner in style than in other recent vintages, this Prosecco ends long, clean and with the tingle of a gorgeously subtle mousse. 91 points.
Nino Franco "Grave di Stecca" Brut, Valdobbiadene DOCG (2011)
The Nino Franco winery's "Grave di Stecca" is typically the most distinctive wine in what is an extremely diverse and characterful range. Extremely lean, mineral and saline in character, unless you were told, you may not think that this is from Prosecco! Notes of sage and thyme adorn a salt tinged nose, before the super long palate stretches out. Salt encrusted green apples would encapsulate the flavours on show here, in what is an extremely accomplished and distinctive wine. 92 points.
Nino Franco "Rustico" Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG (NV)
"Rustico" might be the "entry level" wine of the Nino Franco winery, but there isn't too much that is "entry level" about it. This is a creamy and elegant fizz that sees flavours of greengage and green apple combined with the wonderfully frothy and elegant mousse that is a Nino Franco hallmark. Ending with a slightly savoury tang on the finish, there are few "entry level" Prosecco that you would rather drink! 89 points.
Reviews from February 2014
Nino Franco "Primo Franco" Prosecco, Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG (2012)
Ripe, creamy and mouth-filling when tasted, despite this "Primo Franco" Prosecco containing 32g/l of residual sugar there is never a perception of sweetness, only of creamy and ripe fruit flavours. Notes of white peach and pear form the basis of this fantastically attractive wine, with hints of almonds, vanilla and apricots unfolding across this wine's impressive length. There's a driving acidity that makes this wine (thanks to it offsetting the sugar) and whilst this "Primo Franco" Prosecco may not be dry enough in style to appeal to sommeliers (who would typically chose a drier style to expand its food pairing options) this does nothing to change the fact that this is one of the most endearing and inherently attractive Prosecco that The Independent Wine Review has come across for some time. 93 points.
Nino Franco "Riva di San Floriano" Prosecco Brut, Valdobbiadene Sup. DOCG (2012)
This 2012 "Riva di San Floriano" Prosecco is slightly less exuberant on the nose than has been the case in previous vintages, but still offers the hints of banana and sage (that overlay the more common white peach and pear characters) and that make this "Riva di San Floriano" Prosecco so distinctive. Creamy and persistent on the palate, this is a Prosecco of serious class which shifts effortlessly from the peach and pear base flavours onto more complex banana, hazelnut and yeasty nuances. If you are truly interested in the concept of "terroir" in Prosecco, this is a wine you simply have to try. 90 points.
Nino Franco Prosecco Brut, Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG (NV)
A pale lemon colour in the glass, this Nino Franco Brut seems purer and fresher in style than many Prosecco with greater levels of residual sugar. A bouquet of green apples, pears and a clear mineral salinity segues into a lean and driven palate. The persistent and elegantly crafted mousse is combined with a frisky acidity that will see this wine pair well with many fish starters, or creamily textured risottos. 88 points.
Reviews from 2013
|Nino Franco's "Grave di Stecca" vineyard
Nino Franco "Riva di San Floriano" Prosecco, Valdobbiadene Sup. DOCG (2010)
Intensely fruity on the palate, this "Riva di San Floriano" Prosecco exhibits creamy white peach, pear and nuances of banana, with support provided by a gorgeous combination of an elegant and persistent mousse and a bright acidity. Segueing to a slightly savoury nuttiness in the mid-palate, this wine finishes long and very, very subtle. A remarkably individual and well resolved Prosecco. 93 points.
Nino Franco "Grave di Stecca" Brut Valdobbiadene DOCG (2010)
Notably dry in style on the palate, it is easy to see why Primo Franco describes this "Grave di Stecca" Brut as "different". Intense flavours of white peach form the basis of the palate, with a persistent savoury nuance of macadamia, bread crumbs and pineapple that add further subtlety. A nicely resolved mousse and bright acidity play supporting roles. 90 points.
Nino Franco "Rustico" Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG (NV)
Aiming for a consistent "house" style of "Rustico" Prosecco each year, Primo has crafted this "Rustico" to offer a creamy and persistent mousse that supports a palate of white peach, green European fruit notes and the merest hint of slightly savoury nuttiness. Off-dry, there is a gorgeous balance of mousse, fruit and acidity on display, with an impressive length that persists once the wine itself is gone. 89 points.
Nino Franco Prosecco Brut, Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG (NV)
Offering the impression of additional acidity over and above what was seen in the Nino Franco "Rustico" Prosecco (this is a result of the reduction in residual sugar – actual acidity levels are almost identical) this Nino Franco "Brut" seems to be brighter and crisper in the mouth too with a slightly more aggressive mousse. Again this Nino Franco "Brut" is green and European fruit orientated, although a little peach adds subtlety to the finish. 87 points
Nino Franco "Faive" Rosé Spumante Brut (2011)
Produced from a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc this "Faive" rosé is a highly attractive salmon pink colour in the glass that sparkles as the numerous finely formed bubbles race from the base of the glass. Wonderfully pure strawberry and fresh peach aromas greet a taster as they approach this "Faive" Rosé, before notes of strawberries, wild raspberries and freshly picked nectarines emerge on the palate. Almost completely dry and underpinned by an ever-present (but subtle and nicely integrated) mousse, this "Faive" Rosé bubbles on across an impressive length. 87 points.

What are your caulk recommendations?
My tub was/is moldy. Out of frustration over smell and look, I decided tonight to take care of it and destroy the offending mold for the 90th time. I've had really bad luck with caulk in the past and I don't think I'm up to spending another 6 hours thoroughly cleaning it when the caulk I've been using fails again. What are your recommendations? Both for caulk types and caulking tips? [more inside]
Black Water from Pipes -- What Is It?
Recently, when I turn on my shower in the morning, the water runs clear for a few minutes, then a spurt of black inky water comes out for anywhere from two to 10 seconds, then it starts running clear again. I haven't noticed this with any of my other faucets/water sources. What might be causing that black water (I assume something's collecting in the pipes somewhere) and is it something I should be worried about? As a side note, my hard, hard water does seem to eat through my plumbing like it was made of spun sugar.

New Tabletop
I inherited a metal table in the shop of our recently bought house. The table top is rusted but still solid. Is there any way I can make it look new and to protect the top from further rust? Or is there something I could attach to it, like non-slip rubber, that would make it last longer? [more inside]
Bathroom Flooring
Bathroom tile/subfloor question. --> [more inside]
Bathroom electrical issue
We just moved into a townhouse. In the guest bathroom, the light and fan are operated by the same switch, so that the fan automatically comes on when you turn on the light. We hate the sound of the fan and would prefer to have two separate switches, one for the light and one for the fan. How complicated is this to do? Is it something we could reasonably learn how to do ourselves or should we leave it to an electrician?
I have older windows in my home that weren't taken care of properly (layers upon layers of paint, some don't open, broken weights, etc). Window replacement is about a year off, and I'm trying to get my rental unit up to snuff. Is there some good how-to repair advice anyone has come accross for old windows? I have a couple of fix-it books but they only have cursory info and concentrate more on installing new windows.
Phone jack moving know-how
I'm renovating a room and I'd like to move a phone jack that was originally placed 5 feet from the floor (for a wall phone), down closer to plug height. We're talkin' standard wood frame construction with gypsum board walls. I know that the box is set against a wall stud but I'm unsure the best way to do this with the least amount of tearing up and patching. Any tips, online resources or warnings? I also don't know jack about phone wiring. Get it? Jack? Har dee har.
Touch-Up Paint
I want to go buy some paint to do touch-ups on my walls. I need it to match what's on the walls. Anyone have any bright ideas on how I can accomplish this? I have managed to get a paint chip off the wall, about 1-inch by 1/2-inch. Is that enough for the Home Depot folks to computer-match? Should I just eyeball the paint samples and try to find a match myself?
low flow toilet retrofit
ToiletFilter: I'm adding a toilet in the basement of our house. Should I get a low-flow 1.6 gpf unit, or go for a free multi-gallon unit? Can I retrofit a multi-gallon unit to flush less?
Plumber Problem
Do you understand the physics of water pressure and/or plumbing? If so, I would love your opinion on this dispute I'm having with a plumber. (more inside) [more inside]
Chipping Toilet Seat
I bought a new toilet seat about 18 months ago and the laminate of the inside front is already chipping. While these things aren't that expensive to replace I'd just as soon find a way to cover it up. Can I use plain white paint or will the small but growing?

Why we should all be worried by rising nuclear salaries
Last updated at 09:30, Monday, 11 February 2013
Emma-Jayne Gooch of NuExec Consulting examines the impact of rising salaries in the nuclear industry
- Related article: Top nuclear salaries rise by up to 58 per cent
There is no denying that the UK is facing a triple-dip recession.
The economy remains 3.5% below its peak in 2007 and is not expected to recover for at least another 2 years. In the last 2.5 – 3 years manufacturing has contracted by 0.4% and the construction by 9%. Wages have also declined over the past five years when taking inflation into account and they are due to fall again in 2013. Recent national figures showed salaries rising by 1.4% with an inflation rate of 2.7%.
Having just completed my 2013 nuclear salary survey I was keen to see how the wages in our sector have changed over the past year and whether we have seen a rise or fall in the industry.
Many supply chain companies have commented on "hard times" this year and that they haven't got the amount of work and contracts that they had expected. Some companies have even been forced to make some redundancies.
So with all this bad news you would definitely assume that the nuclear salaries haven't risen right? But with us now being faced with the skills shortage that we have all been speaking about for years – you remember the statistics:
25% more graduates needed to service predicted nuclear growth
By 2025 almost half of the Cumbrian nuclear workforce would have retired
3,000 new jobs within Britain's Energy Coast over the next 15 years (As per Blueprint)
A predicted 10,000 nuclear energy jobs as predicted back at the beginning of 2010
Add to that the DSA and ISA frameworks and that suddenly makes it apparent that we have some highly sought after skills and with highly sought after skills comes the need to pay more money.
I have taken 6 highly sought after skills in the North and analysed 2011 – 2012 Salaries against 2012 – 2013:
Senior Planner
- 2011-2012 £39,987 to £55,000
- 2012-2013 £56,957 to £80,000
- Average increase: £16,970 (42%) to £25,000 (45%)
Principal Engineer
- 2011-2012: £50,000 to £65,000
- 2012-2013: £42,268 to £79,000
- Average increase: -£7,732 (-15%) to £14,000 (21%)
Senior Engineer
- 2011-2012 £45,000 to £55,000
- 2012-2013 £30,000 to £67,875
- Average increase -£15,000 (-33%) to £12,875 (23%)
Project Manager
- 2011-2012: £38,700 to £65,000
- 2012-2013: £35,000 to £71,500
- Average increase: -£3,700 (-1%) to £6500 (10%)
Senior Project Manager
- 2011-2012: £55,000 to £65,000
- 2012-2013: £52,000 to £103,000
- Average increase: -£3000 (-5%) to £38,000 (58%)
Project Controls Manager
- 2011-2012: £38,700 to £60,500
- 2012-2013: £38,700 to £65,000
- Average increase: £0 (0%) to £4500 (7%)
So these are really surprising findings really demonstrating what is happening in the industry around key skills. Interestingly 4 positions have seen a decline in the starting salary which is probably reflective of companies using different criteria in indicating what a principal and senior engineer is
In addition many of the smaller companies are being forced by market conditions to bringing in Project Manager's and Senior Project Manager's with less experience (and therefore for less money) and train them up. Interestingly the top banding has increased in every role with the highest being Senior Project Management that has seen a 58% rise and Planning which has seen between 42 – 45% increase.
This is almost an obscene wage increase over just 1 year and it is no wonder that smaller companies are struggling to recruit these skills or are losing their current staff to the larger organisations who appear to be able to afford these costs.
But how do we stop these salaries spiraling out of control? Should these people receive these salaries as they have worked hard to gain the skills and experience to make them sought after? And can SME's really compete, and if so, how can they attract and retain their people?
These are all interesting questions and all need to be considered. Of course, it is worth remembering that whilst there has been large increases in salary it is all relative to the work being undertaken. A Senior Project Manager wouldn't, for instance, have left work on a Friday earning £65,000 and come in on the Monday to a new salary of £103,000.
It is more about many years' experience and expertise gained as well as knowing your worth and making yourself the pawn in the chess game to realise these salaries.
I wanted to know how this affects businesses in the local supply chain so I asked a few people to give me their views and I want to share two of the comments I received:
"As an SME we have found ourselves increasingly challenged by our much larger competitor and client organisations in terms of the salaries we can afford to pay to recruit, and more importantly retain, some of our key and specialist positions. The imperative in our sector has to be to have the right skills in the right places to deliver the highest quality outcomes, and I'm not convinced that the spiralling salaries are helping in terms of sustaining corporate and industry knowledge. However frustrating this is, I think we must remember not to lose sight of the fact that salary is only one of the factors that contribute to employee satisfaction and the issue has certainly helped us to demonstrate to our staff their worth, and the value we place on them, in many other ways"
Gill Marsden, Business Development and Project Delivery Director, NIS Limited
Gill highlights a key point there and from a survey I completed last year again within the nuclear industry only 29% look for a new role based on salary where as 95% leave due to feeling undervalued. So maybe that is the lesson businesses need to learn. If a company can make their staff feel valued and give them opportunity and career progression maybe it will instil more loyalty? However these days people don't need to be looking for work to be approached. You may well be happy in your role and feel extremely valued but if you receive an email or a phone call offering you a role that will pay you £10k more, how many of us wouldn't consider it?
"Growing pains – Tales from deep within the Supply Chain
I can tell now by the look on their faces and their awkward gait when they walk into my office and ask "have you got a minute?" Another resignation and almost always the same story, staff that I have dedicated a lot of time to, given opportunities and training working alongside really good experienced staff. Then BAM! They're leaving with the experience that I've invested in them and for more money than they are actually currently worth, what's more, my hands are tied as I can't go chucking cash at them without upsetting the applecart with their colleagues. It feels like I'm the one that's investing in feeding the shortfall in skills.
As a small/medium sized business I rely of working collaboratively with other 'partners' in the supply chain, mostly other small medium sized businesses. We do not poach from each other, we work with, and trust each other as reputation is hard gained and quickly lost, with client and collaborator. It appears that the larger businesses and clients are not burdened by such scruples and freely contact my staff with unsolicited approaches. We complain; they ignore us and carry on regardless; after all it's not illegal.
I am now considering a 'West Cumbrian' weighting (like the London weighting) as our business cannot function in the current market, prices will have to rise."
This company asked not to be named but I felt they made some interesting points.
It is worth pointing out however it isn't just SME's that are suffering, larger companies are too. I haven't any quotes from larger companies as there is too much rig moral of press offices and procedure to follow but having spoken to them they feel the same pain.
They are loosing people to other companies and even other industries that are able to pay even higher salaries. They are finding it increasingly difficult to recruit good people at the salaries being demanded and in a large organisation with pay scales that need to be adhered to, it is even more difficult as, by recruiting someone on a higher salary than others doing the same role, it can cause even more problems for these companies.
So in conclusion I don't have the answers. Salaries are without doubt spiralling, the pool of people with these skills are diminishing and companies are finding it more and more difficult to recruit and retain their staff. The obvious answer is investing in skills and training which more and more companies are doing.
Other than that look after your staff, make them feel valued and give them opportunities to grow within your business. And if you have one of these skills I have discussed just remember the grass isn't always greener.

2008 Ford Escape Q&A
2008 Ford Escape Question: Accelerator cable disconnected
I was leaving from work and the accelerator pedal went to the floor. The ccable is no longer connected to the top end of the pedal arm. Is this a common Ford Escape problem?? It's under warranty, but if this is a safety concern, I wonder if I need a different car. It only has 27,000 miles - medwards2020
3 Answers
Answer 1
I checked the Ford Technical Service Bulletins and didn't see anything related to your complaint, but I would take it to the dealer and get it repaired under warranty. Ask them if they have seen this before, they may have info that I cannot access. Good Luck and let us know what they find out - Bret Bodas
Answer 2
This has happened to my 2008 Ford Escape FOUR TIMES in the two years I've owned the vehicle. Fortunately it happened all four times when the vehicle was not in motion, but it seems to be a perpetual problem. I'm seriously considering turning the vehicle in and purchasing from another manufacturer. - merryann33
Answer 3
My 2008 Ford Escape XLS (manual transmission) just did this too! I pulled into a parking lot today, set the parking brake, put the transmisson in first gear, turned off the engine and got out, as I normally would. When I returned to my Escape, the gas pedal was all the way to the floor. I didn't even start it, because I noticed the gas pedal was not in the normal position. I looked up under the dash, and the accelerator cable has come unhooked from the pedal linkage. Fortunately I was parked, and I was able to put the cable back into the linkage. The only thing holding it to the linkage seems to be gravity. This condition is VERY concerning, especially if the cable disconnects while I am trying to take off on a hill with my manual transmission, causing me to roll back into the car behind me! Now I am worried this will end up being a safety issue. - Visitor

Author/Artist Review
Located in: Healdsburg, CA
Submitted: September 26, 2007
Tell us a little about yourself. I'm the father of three kids. Two are in high school now and one is in junior high. But they still read Bill.
What was your motivation behind this project? Though published second, this is actually the first Bill the Warthog book I wrote. The church I worked at as a youth pastor (Felton Bible Church) sent me a writer's conference and I needed something to submit. So I wrote up stories about Bill, a recurring character in bedtime stories for my kids.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? I hope kids who read this book will come out remembering the Ten Commandments. But more importantly, they'll see that they need Jesus to live them.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? This was the first book I sold, which was very exciting.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? As a kid, I read a lot of Donald Sobel's Encyclopedia Brown and the books owe much to that character. Bill's spiritual father is G.K. Chesterton's Father Brown.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: Thanks for reading Bill and letting me know you enjoy him.


text: Apr 12, 2013 17:39 LSU's Theresa Plaisance wins SEC scoring title LSU's Theresa Plaisance wins SEC scoring title Advocate news services April 12, 2013 Comments Advocate staff photo by PATRICK DENNISLSU's Theresa Plaisance (55) passes to teammate Danielle Ballard against Georgia earlier this season.LSU junior women's basketball forward Theresa Plaisance, who averaged 17 points per game in her first year as a starter, is the Southeastern Conference's scoring champion after all SEC teams who reached the NCAA tournament have finished their seasons. Plaisance is the first LSU player to win the SEC scoring title since National Player of the Year Seimone Augustus did it in 2006 with 22.7 points per contest. Plaisance is the fourth player in LSU history to claim the scoring title, and it is the eighth season LSU has had a player lead the league in scoring. Joyce Walker did it three years in a row from 1982-84, as did Cornelia Gayden from 1993-95. Plaisance went from posting 4.5 points per game as a sophomore to 17 points per contest in her first year as a starter. From Nov. 16 to March 24, the New Orleans native recorded 31 consecutive double-figure scoring games — the longest streak by an LSU player since Augustus did it in a school-record 97 straight games from 2003-06. "Her teammates didn't allow her to take a back seat," LSU coach Nikki Caldwell said. "They really supported her in everything that she was doing for our team by getting her the basketball, setting great screens for her and really being there for her. I thought that helped her confidence and knowing that she's got to be a go to for us. "She emerged as one of the best 6-5 players in the country. She can do everything. And I've played her at the point, the two, the three, the four, the five. Not a lot of 6-5 kids can do that." Plaisance also finished fourth in the SEC in rebounding (8.3 rpg), sixth in field goal percentage (43.7), second in blocks (2.5 bpg) and 10th in free throw percentage (.728). Plaisance was the only player in the SEC to rank in the top 10 in all five of those categories. She made (139) and attempted (191) more free throws than any player in the SEC, marking the second straight season LSU had someone achieve that feat. LaSondra Barrett led both last season. In addition, LSU senior guard Adrienne Webb led the SEC in free-throw percentage, connecting for 86-of-107 for 80.4 percent. Webb, who finished sixth in the SEC in scoring with 14.6 points per game, is the sixth Lady Tiger in history to lead the league in free-throw percentage and the first since Barrett did it in 2010. Freshman Danielle Ballard was the SEC leader in steals with 100 and 2.9 per game. She is the third player in school history to do so, joining Joyce Walker (1983) and Marie Ferdinand (2000). Ballard shattered Ferdinand's LSU single-season steals record, becoming the first player in LSU history — men or women — to collect 100 steals in a season.

My son took the opportunity on CyberMonday to make his first ever television purchase. He got a 47″ LED LG 1080p 120Hz TV for $496 with an employee discount. Quite an entry into the televison ownership market. I was unsuccessful in finding any particular deals for myself, although I did give it a thorough try. I came close to adding a 23″ computer LED monitor to literally expand my workspace to double that I have now. But I need some new tires most of all, so I decided to bow out of the Cyber Monday browsing.
What about you? Did you find a deal about which you are proud enough to share with us? We're so much into savings here, this seems like an appropo topic in which many of us can benefit from the stories of others.

The resurgence of TV is attracting a new generation of talent. Students are increasingly interested in jobs for the small screen, whether they are above or below the line. I tell them it's a great time to get in, and that chances are good they'll one day work for the same shows they binge watch. It seems that people used to get into the business because they were well connected, starry eyed, or gluttons for rejection. But the reasons why TV is a great career to shoot for are now better than ever. Here's a few:

The students of Oscar de la Renta
Legacy can be tangible and intangible. In the case of Oscar de la Renta, it is both, and it is flourishing in a place where young designers begin their careers. During his 2001 visit to Savannah College of Art and Design's fashion show to accept the André Leon Talley Lifetime Achievement Award, the designer shared this wisdom for breaking into the industry based on his own start with Cristóbal Balenciaga.
Studio Logic: Monica Cook's airy space is a palette for the intricate
Multi-media artist Monica Cook (B.F.A., painting, 2006) is a self-described scavenger. The materials and objects she finds in places both obvious and unthinkable are the basis for her life-size sculptures, which bear the same overt realism as her paintings. She makes these creatures, a blend of human and animal, to be posable so she can bring them to life by shooting them frame by frame for animation.

Fink's five musts to finding a good fashion career
By Michael Fink
There's good news for fashion students. The fashion industry, like many others sectors, is starting to dust off the recession. In that time, though, we've advanced light years in technology and culture. Yet the fashion industry has been slow to change. That's important to keep in mind when doing the resume rounds.
Architecture: a return to art is the way forward
What would it look like if architects were allowed to be artists again; as comfortable in the manual and intuitive realms of drawing, painting and sculpture as with parametric modeling and digital imaging? What if we were to reject the limitations of product-driven, systematic design and production and re-engage the full range of tools innately available and refined over the course of millennia?

Art Basel Miami Beach: an artist's perspective
Art fairs are uncharted territory for me. So as I prepared for my first trip to Art Basel Miami Beach (Dec.5-8), I caught up with Marcus Kenney (M.F.A., Photography) to see what ABMB looks like through an artist's eyes. I was relieved to learn that even for the most seasoned ABMB participant – Marcus has exhibited at various fairs there for most of the last ten years - this annual phenomenon can be overpowering.
Video: Lee Daniels' commencement address at Savannah College of Art and Design
Yesterday, Academy Award-winning director and producer Lee Daniels delivered the commencement address at SCAD's very first fall commencement ceremony in Savannah. Lee told graduates and their families, "I couldn't afford to go to college and I was angry about that for a long time. This would have been the college that I went to because it's pretty badass." SCAD awarded Lee the Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters.

The opening arguments for the Theodore Wafer, the man who shot and killed Renisha McBride began July 23rd. McBride is the 19-year-old woman who was in a car accident in Dearborn Heights, a mostly white town bordering Detroit, in the early hours of November 2nd. A few hours after she crashed her car into a parked vehicle a mile away, she approached 55-year-old Theodore Wafer's home, asking for help and he shot and killed her. Wafer has been charged with second degree murder, manslaughter and committing a felony with a firearm for the fatal shooting of McBride.
MUST READ: Defense May Question Renisha McBride's Lifestyle In Murder Trial
This trial is already predicted to be the most racially divisive cases of 2014, reminiscent of the George Zimmerman's trial where Trayvon Martin also lost his life through a fatal gunshot from a man who claimed he feared his life. Wafer is even facing the exact same charges that were against Zimmerman. He claims he was faced with a woman who was banging on his door in rage. Renisha's "rage" could have easily been urgency because she'd been in an accident, the same way Trayvon Martin's "looking suspicious" was just him protecting himself from the rain on his way home from the store.
The defense is going to try and dirty McBride's reputation, the same way did with Trayvon Martin. It's expected that the defense will say that McBride was a troubled teen with prior arrests and, at the time of her death, a blood alcohol content at 11 times the legal limit for minors. And prosecutors argue that if Wafer felt threatened, he should have kept the door locked and called 911 rather than open it and shoot McBride at point blank.
"This case becomes an indicator in terms of where we are in terms of race in the criminal justice system," said Mark Fancher, staff attorney for the Racial Justice Project of the ACLU of Michigan. "Trayvon elevated our understanding of why and how there's a double standard in terms of how these matters are resolved. The Renisha McBride case puts the focus back on that question: How well will a criminal justice system deal with violence perpetrated by a white male on a young Black person?"
It's going to be interesting to watch it play out because Wafer's jury consists of four Black people, whereas Zimmerman's had one woman who wasn't White–"Maddy." Each prospective juror for the Wafer trial was quizzed during the selection process not just on their prior knowledge of the widely publicized case but also about their views on the police, gun violence and race.
University of Michigan law professor Eve Primus says, "When you're dealing with jury pools that contain large numbers of minorities and people who live in impoverished communities, their experience with and perception of the world is drastically different," she said. "Black jurors who have experienced prejudice might say [Wafer] just shot her because she's Black. But, at the same time, if jurors live in communities where someone who approaches them and is yelling at them means violence, they might find it reasonable for him to think she presented a threat of violence." The case's result hinges on what the jury views as reasonable self-defense, but civil rights advocates insist that Wafer may have believed he was allowed to shoot McBride based on laws like Stand Your Ground.
We're praying for justice to be served and will be keeping our eyes on this one, beauties.

Recently, their company celebrated its 20th anniversary, and their fleet has grown to more than a dozen boats, and the business has whisked more than one million passengers through Orlando's nearby wetlands. From two locations, Boggy Creek's fan-propelled watercrafts launch into the Florida Everglades, exploring the swampy habitats of gators, turtles, eagles, exotic birds, and exiled Frankensteins. Four different tours offer varied experiences, including a night ride, during which participants observe red-eyed gators prowling for prey. US Coast Guard–certified captains helm every ride, which are safe for explorers of all ages—even infants3702 Big Bass Rd.Kissimmee, FL US

Lake Fairview MarinaRead MoreAfter spending their youths on the sea sailing, water skiing, and fishing, Cynthia and Jay realized they were in very real danger of spending their adult lives behind the desks of corporate jobs. So, when they got the chance to re-immerse themselves in the aquatic world by buying an inland marina at Lake Fairview, they jumped at it. Today, they and their team of certified instructors lead sailing experiences on that glassy blue expanse and rent a wide assortment of seafaring vessels. They pile visitors in pontoon boats, two-person pedal boats, kayaks, and sail boats to navigate the lake for on-water picnics and fishing expeditions. Should renters get hooked on the experience, the staff can happily help them purchase new and used sailboats, fishing boats, runabouts, and ski boats. For land-based celebrations, their tiki hut-style gazebo, complete with a panoramic view of the lakeshore, accommodates guests during company retreats, birthdays, and lake monster sting operations.4503 N Orange Blossom TrailOrlando, FL US
