Did Paulson Violate The Fair Credit Reporting Act?
When the SEC announced its fraud complaint against Goldman Sachs, people noted that the penalties involved would involve money, not jail time. But an attorney writing for seekingalpha.com argued over the weekend that John Paulson, the hedge fund manager who worked with GS to create "synthetic derivatives," accessed FICO scores to create his financial product and therefore violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)–which could mean a penalty as high as $1 billion, and even jail time if the FTC or Justice Department decides to go after him.

Feds Arrest Virginian For $11 Million Ponzi Scheme
The Ponz is everywhere! Seriously, was anyone doing any real investing over the past several years? John M. Donnelly of Charlottesville, Virginia, was arrested earlier this week and "indicted for fraudulently taking at least $11 million from as many as 31 investors in an alleged Ponzi scheme," says their local paper the Hook. He was promising investors returns of up to 22% annually, but naturally had failed to make any investments with his clients' money since 2002.

Eventually he stopped trading and paid off investors using other investor's money, while shoveling the rest of the funds into other schemes and scams. Vassallo was eventually busted when his investors ganged up on him and said his reports were phony-baloney.

Dollywood announces $300 million expansion
In what was promoted as the biggest news in Dollywood history, Dolly Parton Wednesday announced a $300 million investment in the entertainment complex.
About half of that will go toward a 300-room resort hotel, called Dollywood's DreamMore Resort. It will open in summer 2015 on 100 acres near the water park Dollywood's Splash Country.
The rest is for upgrades at the Dollywood theme park and Splash Country, including a new roller coaster called FireChaser Express. It will open at Dollywood next year.
"My dreams are just about to come true," Parton told a cheering audience in Dollywood's Showstreet Palace theater. "We're planning to invest over $300 million in the next 10 years to make this area, and Dollywood, one of the biggest and most popular destinations in the whole country."
The resort will be within walking distance of Splash Country, and the company will provide door-to-door transportation between the hotel and both parks. Park admission will be included in the price of rooms.
"It's the first phase of our resort strategy," Parton said. "We hope to build several more resorts in the area."
The upgrades are expected to create 2,500 new jobs, Dollywood President Craig Ross said.
"Dollywood is investing big to become a full-fledged family destination," Ross said. The new spending "is more than has been invested in the last 28 years."
The theme park opened in 1986, when Parton and what is now Herschend Family Entertainment rebranded the Pigeon Forge attraction Silver Dollar City.
Parton was joined by officials including Gov. Bill Haslam, Pigeon Forge City Manager Earlene Teaster and Tennessee Tourism Director Susan Whitaker.
"When somebody announces a $300 million investment in your state, it's a big deal," Haslam said.
Economic development often is associated with manufacturing, Haslam said. "But we don't want to ignore the fact that tourism is literally one of our top industries, employing thousands of people across the state and bringing in $16.5 million. That's money we can use to further our education system and help families across the state."
Whitaker noted that Dollywood's announcement comes just as Haslam is increasing the state's tourism budget by $8 million.
Dollywood's DreamMore Resort will sit along Veterans Memorial Boulevard. The hotel will feature indoor and outdoor pools, a restaurant, a spa, event facilities and a 2,200-square-foot celebrity suite. Parton said the hotel's design was inspired by the front porch of her family home in Sevier County.
The FireChaser Express roller coaster is firefighting-themed, and it will be built across from the Wild Eagle coaster, on the former site of the Adventure Mountain attraction. Manufactured by the German company Gerstlauer, it will be a dual-launch coaster that moves forward and backward.
"My favorite part about this ride is that little bitty kids can ride it, about 4 years old," Parton said. "They're going to be so excited."
Pigeon Forge Mayor David Wear, who attended the event, praised Dollywood's announcements. "The resort is going to be beautiful, and the ride is going to be amazing," he said. "If you look beyond that and talk about the impact on our area, it means more jobs, which are so important now."
Also at the event were Rep. Dale Carr (R-Sevierville), Rep. Andrew Farmer (R-Sevierville) and Sen. Doug Overbey (R-Maryville).
"I don't think you can overestimate the impact of a $300 million investment and the creation of 2,500 new jobs," Overbey said. "I think it shows a real commitment on the part of Dolly Parton and Dollywood to continue to grow and help our entire community prosper."
"It's a commitment to Pigeon Forge, but it's also a very needed commitment to our county," Carr said. "It's going to help the surrounding businesses, too."
"The economic impact, the fiscal impact, will trickle down and help families of all classes," Farmer said. "It's going to enhance the sustainability of our area and the likelihood of new residents coming in."
In her remarks from the stage, Teaster noted that Dollywood is central to Pigeon Forge's economy. "Tourism is our livelihood, and as Dollywood goes, so tourism goes in this area," she said.
She also said, of Parton, "She's genuine, she's real, and we absolutely could not do without her."

Lol@ sonia 😆 😆
Remo D'Souza,
i have a question. in this episode you did a certain step with Atul of which you quoted that you created the step. this is actually called rejecting and it was created by the rej3ctz in the u.s. my question is, how are you gonna steal this shit and call it your own. you must must be a pretty cheap person for doing this and if you have any shame you will admit it to the world.
i think back in the days when there was no internet it must have bin like many ppl were not aware of whether anyone else has already made a certain or not .
So everybody used to dance in their own city or town . It could have been like they both have created the step independently without having the knowledge about the other .
i used to read that in the books many scientist created the same invention individually but at different place.
too bad there are no patents for dance steps lolz
It is very very nice to see Vashnavi, Papiya dancing……. Very graceful. Divyama is gone due to his attitude….. same is with Manoj too………
I just thought it is ridiculous that vastal was brought back to Amrita team. If khusboo got hurt and they wanted to bring someone back to replace her it should have been from her team. I know the GM said that vastal was brought back because he got the 3rd highest marks. Thats totally baloney. I love vastal he is one of my favorite and i am happy with him coming back but he should have came back to Jai team.Everyone nows that due to amrita poor chorgraphy 3/4 of team was eliminated in the first couples weeks of the show. Only way zee could find too keep amirita in the show was to give her a contestant that everyone loves vastal. Some people may say that people Jai doesn't deserve vastal becasue he put him in the trial zone, but Geeta put dharmesh in the trial zone alot. They just had lots of overconfidence in their contestants for geeta that was dharmesh and for Jai that was Vastal.In season one I think it was manglesh got hurt and he had to leave the show, but his master didn't get a extra contestant to replace him. DID shouldn't have double standard just too keep amirta on the show.
Apart from that I loved rutraj, avneets and papiya performance a lot today.
Last but not least, REMO SIR IS THE BEST, I loved DID lil masters today becasue of him.
i so agree with u.. also the doctor said that khusboo has a bone dislocation.. and it can take 6 weeks to heal… and khusboo mom is saying that i want u to bring her back in the top 4 ot top 5? if you are just going to make her dance in finale then its of no use…
is it fair? today seeing that khusboo is seriously hurt. they shud hv eliminated khusboo and then given vatsal to amrita..moreover vatsal shud hv been in jais team… next time, they shud do the same, let the masters chose so that all the skippers get fair team.
the reason why i m saying this is cause some are saying that amrita got the weakest contestants..
i feel manoj was let down by the choreography…
meanwhile i had started liking divyam.. he was outstanding today… he deserved one more chance…
i second breathless on this. i fully agree with whatever u said. i feel khushboo should leave, as much as i love her. its just not fair for the other kids that khushboo gets to be in top 4 or 5 just cuz the show cant see amrita leave. and 6 weeks is far too long. if it was one week, i wouldnt have minded. bit this is not acceptable. yes it is sad that amrita would have lost her only contestant and she wouldve had to leave but thats competition. u have to deal with it. and i agree that if vatsal had to come back, he shouldve gone to jai. it was his contestant and vatsal shouldve gone back to his team. amrita getting him is not fair. but i guess whats done is done.
yea i agree with you. khushboo should be eliminated becuase it's not fair. everyone else is dancing and working hard, and she's just sitting there. but i feel like she should be replaced by vastal so it could be fair for amrita too.
Guys,I had already mentioned about this khushboo-Amrita-Vatsal entire thing in the "26th june Sandeep Special"forum.I had given a slightly detailed comment on this.Infact 2 comments on this.You can check it.
There Kindi had replied to me saying that I was being very harsh to (khush,amrita and vatsal),I felt maybe my comment sounded to him like that.
But now it is nice to see that atleast 4-5 canditates like all three of you are with me on this case.
And now it is already said and done, nothing can be done about it, unless people over there say something about it
and raise their concern.The parents of other children,should definitely raise this issue with the judges and grandmaster, if and only if it is a concern for them.and people must object to it ,if they are not ok, with this.
The integrity of the competition is being misplaced,there is no place for daya bhavnaein , pity, sympathy in a competition ,where thousands of children just dream of getting into it and participating in the show,leave aside winning it.
Remo Sir, Terence Sir, Geeta Ma, I Love You!!!!!!!! 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛
another thing.. did anyone see how much zee tv has groomed dharmesh sir.. he was looking soooooooooo cool today in that shade of blue dress, the new hair style so totally suiting him. it looked as if he has built some body also…
And see dharmesh sir in his baroda audition, with that cap all the time.. now he is lookign soooooooo good.
Very well observed. I was sitting at home and thinking how different the skippers look now. They are just WOW…All of them, but especially Dharmesh and Jai- The difference is so obvious
Man what an episode today!!I thoroughly enjoyed it
My rankings are as follows:
Jeetumoni – 9.5 : Like farah said such a beautiful performance that too coming from jeetumoni of all the people…such clean lines,perfect use of props(rose and ring),beautiful expressions…i just loved watching him..
Also the mimicry did by him of avneet was so hilarious..overall i enjoyed watching him the most today!
Vaishnavi -9.5 : Very well deserved MJ Band!I thoroughly enjoyed watching a very fast paced lavni performed by her flawlessly…great expressions,great lines,awesome dancing,good song selection and mixing
Papiya-9.25 : The portions done by the cloth was very elegant and beautiful and i love this song..but the portions done without the cloth were not that impressive..clean lines..but the overall impact was good and eye pleasing
Ruturaj -9.25 : I am totally blown away by the tutting he did..96 beats!!Such a tough choreography and wonderfully performed by ruturaj..but he need improvement in stunts portion..it looks a bit messy may cuz of he is a bit heavy
Atul -9.0 : He is my favourite contestant from Jai's team..but i was not that impressed by his act today compared to the above ones..but i like him a lot..he dances so cleanly and completes every step of his..may the choreography given to him today was not that good
Divyam-9.0 : Perfect Moonwalk…but apart from that i didnot find the dancing that impressive..i mean i have seen better MJ dance coming from kids earlier may be thats why..neways sad to see him eliminated..
Vatsal -9.0 : Very clean dancing by him..it was such a difficult act with lot of stunts involved throughout the act…amrita must not take such risks..I was not that impressed by amrita today.she can do better…Neways vatsal is a strong dancer and amrita is lucky to have him
Avneet -8.5: Oh she gives amazing expressions!!..but needs needs a bit polishing…may because she is too young does seem to bring finesse to her steps…but overall good performance by her..
Manoj -7: I didnot like his dancing at all
Fantastic Job by all skippers especially Dharmesh..all three of his dhinchaks were mindblowingJai was also good but he didnot give good choreo to atul today so i will cut his marks..amrita needs to give good DANCING to vatsal and mayuresh and vrushali needs to wake up
divyam shouldnt have gone out. i couldve named two more contestants who were weaker than him. and its a shame he had to leave the day he proved to everyone he is among the best dancers on the show. bechara, aaj usko khushi aur gham dono ek saath mil gaye. MJ band bhi mil gaya aur show se nikhal bhi gaya. very upsetting.
my rankings for today:
1. papiya – she is an absolute pleasure to watch. so graceful! lovely performance. aur jai ki creativity ko main kahoongi kya baat, kya baat, kya baat. lovely idea!
2. vaishnavi – she truly has proved herself to be versatile. very very entertaining to watch her. fab job!
3. divyam – now thats what i call a moonwalk. not the crappy one punit gave last season on DID when he did MJ's sequence. no offense to punit fans. and the whole performance by divyam was magical. well done kid!
4. jeetumoni – very very beautiful. this guy is proving to be a tough competitor for the others. "faro faro" jeetu!
5. atul – what an entertaining performance. loved the choreo and it was very very good. was clean too. nice job!
6. vatsal – he came back and came back with a bang. well done. amrita didnt disappoint vatsal fans. im sure that this skipper-contestant duo will rock in the future as well.
7. ruturaj – loved his dance and the choreo too. but i have one problem. its getting a little old. i wanna see something new from this guy. the same old hip hop/freestyle combo is kinda boring.
8. avneet – this girl was not too bad today. her face is so darn expressive. i loved her expressions. well done on tht part. and the dance was ok-ok. she still has to go a long way before reaching the bar papiya, vaishu, atul, jeetu and all have set. keep working sweetie.
9. manoj – ok so the whole bicycle part was a disaster. but i didnt think the dance was that hideous. the poor guy did justify it to some extent. it was definitely weaker than the rest but it was no where as bad farah said it was.
on that note, i would like to say something about farah. that was extremely mean of her to bring down manoj's morale like that. granted that he didnt perform that great, but it was not that bad either. itna daantne ki koi zaroorath nahi thi. i mean these are kids. think before u get all harsh with them. poor kid. moo uthar gaya tha uska. she couldve said the same thing in a bit politer way as remo and sandip did. all i ask is that she should try to be a bit nicer and more supportive. jeez woman!
yehh i agreeee
imagine what she does to her kids 😈
lool physyco
Very well said! Almost agree with you ratings.
Mine are:
1) Vaishnavi
2) Divyam
3) Jeetumoni
4) Vatsal
5) Papiya
6) Ruturaj
7) Atul
8) Avneet
9) Manoj
I loved Papiya's act, but I thought that once she came out of the cloth, the performance deteriorated. The choreography was very simple, especially for someone like Papiya who is very experienced and has done numerous Contemporary acts on the show already. Otherwise, I LOVED the cloth usage that Jai choreographed.
Even though monaoj messed up today, it's not his fault. it's vershali and mayresh's fault for taking a stupid risk of making him ride a bike, which he's not that good with. and i dont feel that he did that bad because his dance was very good, he just messed up with the bike. but here's how i rank them
1. vaishnavi
2. Divyam
3. Papiya
4. Vastal
5. Jeetumoni
6. Atul
7. Manoj
8. Avneet
u forgot ruturaj! lol. where does he stand? and i agree with what u said about manoj.
oh yea hahahhahah…i dont like ruturaj that much thats why i hardly notice him. here is my ratings again

2. Divyam
3. Papiya
4. Vastal
5. Jeetumoni
6. Atul
7. Ruturaj

Papiya is one of the Best Performer of DID L'il Master. she looks peech. Her smile, her eye her looks. Yesterday she boggled my mind that how a little girl can perform like this. She has all the guts to top this compitition. I think she will leave no stone unturned to topple the competition. beside this I m not satisfied from Farrah I think she is at dagger drawn from others except Jeetomoni. He is an apple of his eyes. She must pass comment on merit if one did better they must be praised
well now what to say about this kids…
Some one last time said that ruturaj is over hyped…well see is performance today…man the way this kid catches the bit…I challenge everyone to just find out any single bit in this music that he left today..and the expressions..god gifted…awesome…
and so were papiya, jitumoni and Divyam..sorry that the lad was eliminated..it was hurtning…
Today's major attractions:
1) Divyam's Moonwalk..fabolous
2) Papiya's dance..flawless..no words..n she is so bful yar…when she blushed on one of the comments wow…
3) Jeetuuuuu moni….hmmm wht to say bout this one…he is such a sweetheart baby,..n wht expressions…n the blushing when Farah said i ll marry u…cho chweet
4) Ruturaj…the 96 bit movement..i missed his hands moving..
5) Atul doing the step with Remo…he was stealer today
Vaishnavi, no need to talk bout her…kya yar woh sab karti hai…i was actually waiting for her Lavani..n I bet she can do lot lot much better than this one…
Manoj was a setback…actually the skippers messed all things up…he is next to go…nly if public keeps him there…Atul was sweet too
Avneet is sweet but still lacks dance…hope to see her in better tommorow.
And finally Vatsal is back..its so nice to see him
Another strong performer..Khushboo should go..sad to say so…But with Vatsal back…Rutu you are on the edge now..
Now the top 5 is:
2) Jeetumoni
3) Papiya
4) Ruturaj
5) VATSAL/Atul…this guys will win over their sweetness..
Please post your top 5
Papiya to 57575.
I would like to congratulate Divyam for coming till top 9,
and Iam sure,Divyam with the talent you have,you will go a long way.And I loved your moonwalk today.keep it up boy.
And Best Of Luck fot the future.
manoj riding the bicycle , lolz that made me realize that the set was designed by tony hawks lolz
i wished u in fb ,thats not fair . 😛 still im leading devil and illusion lol.
yayyy! Vatsals back!! really really happy for him! .. he deserves to b there. feel sad for khushboo thou .. hope she gets better soon. shes REALLY brave n strong so shes bound to go far in life .. which she will! all the luck to her! n im really happy for jeetu too! sad for divyam .. he was finally provin himself to be jus as great as the rest .. but im sure he'll go far too. all the best to him as well
loved yesterdays performances, especially papiya's! lookin forward for todays!
Divyam's elimination is again one of the most heartbreaking one. He was one of the best last week and today he did the most amazing moonwalk I've ever seen
MJ badges were given to the most deserving and for me the 3 of them were amazing.
I would rank them as follows:
1. Papiya- she is amazing, graceful and versatile and jai is the most amazing Choreographer. I still wonder why Papiya and Jai did not get sandeep's hats.
2Divyam and Vaishnavi were amazing… Vaishnavi is clean in movements and today Divyam has been able to prove that he is one of the best. It is really sad that Public vote such performances out.I can watch his moon walk tousands of times…. was too good.
4.Jeetumoni and Atul…. Those two are always mindblowing… I also wonder why Atul never gets hats off from Sandeep
6. Vatsal- What a come back- Mindblowing performance
7. Ruturaj-He was also too good
8. Avneet- Sweet as always
9. Manoj-good performance- Was unfortunately let down by Choreography
Dharmesh did not seem happy when Remo praised Papiya and Divyam. I might be wrong of course, but it did look like that to me.
I used really dislike divyam but his recent performance were "wow". Also, I noticed that too when remo was praising Jai team he did look little bit unhappy. But this isnt the first time, in DID 2 whenever remo praised another contestants I noticed couple of times that Dharmesh got kind of sad. I dont think that he is jealous of others but becasue he thinks of remo as his Idol(I do to in dancing) he wants to get all the praises from him.
Vatsal- What a come back- Mindblowing performance
Ruturaj-He was also too good
Avneet- Sweet as always
Jeetumoni and Atul…. Those two are always mindblowing… I also wonder why Atul never gets hats off from Sandeep Manoj-good performance- Was unfortunately let down by Choreography
vaishnavi(u noe wat every week i just cant wait to see her dancing…she is really great…she realy danced according to d beats n it was just gr8 to see her doin that!!) 😈 😡 8) 😀
Vaishnavi is best 😳 😯
Jeetu moni – u r great hip hop dancer
Avneet – u look always sweat
Rutu- u r my fav always
My advice to all contestants:
Acknowledge the good comments 😉
Have pride and faith in your dancing 😛
Improve the bad comments
Know your weaknesses
Appreciate your companions 😀
Support your dancemates
because they are probably just as freaked out as you are so try and comfort each other. 😳
Good Luck ❗

Renowned Author Brian McLaren to Speak at Claremont School of Theology on "Dancing to a New Tune"
Public Address Entitled "Dancing to a New Tune"
- Date
- February 19, 2014
- Time
- 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
- Location
- Mudd Theater
Free to the public with limited seating; Early arrival suggested.
Renowned author, speaker, activist, and public theologian, Brian McLaren is, simply put, one of the most incisive voices within contemporary American Christianity. A former college English teacher and pastor, McLaren identifies himself as "an ecumenical global networker among innovative Christian leaders." He is sought after for his perspective as a successful church planter and leading thinker within Emergence Christianity – a surging ecumenical movement that seeks to incorporate spiritual teachings, core values, and organizational principles from the early Christian communities into the 21st century context. In 2005, Time Magazine included him among its list of "The 25 Most Influential Evangelicals in America."
McLaren is also a prolific writer. He has published works of fiction and non-fiction, traditional books as well as e-books, and is a frequent blogger. His forthcoming book, We Make the Road By Walking: A Year-Long Quest for Spiritual Formation, Orientation and Activation will be published in June by Jericho Books.
In 2011, Brian McLaren joined the Board of Trustees for Claremont School of Theology. Since joining the board, Brian has been a regular presence on the CST campus. His previous talks at CST have generated large and enthusiastic audiences. He is currently collaborating with CST Professor Philip Clayton on the CANA Initiative, "a collective of faith-based organizations, individuals, institutions, and networks who seek to embody a new Christian ethos."
McLaren's presentation to be delivered at CST has been informed by the work of organizational consultant Otto Scharmer who observed that, "What's missing today is a high-quality discourse on rethinking the design of the entire system from scratch." McLaren will share his perspective on our shared role in rethinking "the entire system" of Christian faith in the 21st century. Who should engage in this kind of rethinking for the Christian community? How would it be done? Is it already happening? These questions will be the jumping off point for what promises to be a lively encounter with Brian McLaren.

Sportfishing Rule Changes for
Public can propose changes
to freshwater Puget Sound and Coast fisheries
OLYMPIA – People with ideas about how to improve state sportfishing rules for freshwater areas of the Puget Sound and Washington coast can submit their proposals to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) through March 31.
Rule proposals no longeraccepted after March 31, 2015
State fish managers will consider proposed rules submitted by the public for any fish species except salmon, so long as they apply specifically to the freshwater areas of the Puget Sound and coast, including their rivers, streams or lakes.
This year's focus on specific geographic areas – freshwaters of Puget Sound and the coast – marks the second year that WDFW has diverted from the past practice of considering fishing rules proposed for waters anywhere in the state each year.
"We expect to receive several proposals on freshwater fisheries in Puget Sound and the coast this year," said Craig Burley, WDFW fish program manager. "Next year, we'll look at proposals for saltwater fisheries in those same areas."
Sportfishing rule changes developed through this process will be available for public review and comment in July.
The Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission, a citizen panel that sets policy for WDFW, is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the proposed rule changes in November. The commission, which has the final word on which fishing rules are adopted, is expected to take final action on the 2016-17 sportfishing rule changes at a public meeting in December.
End of February through March
Solicit proposals online for freshwaters of the Puget Sound and Coast through an online process.

Deadline for submitting proposals.
April through Mid-July
Agency review of proposals.

RHoK is a weekend-long civic hacking event in which subject matter experts partner with technologists to create tools that make Philadelphia better. Organized by technology news site TechnicallyPhilly.com, Drexel University and the City of Philadelphia, the hackathon will focus on bringing together developers with mostly non-technical experts from non-profits, non-governmental organizations and government agencies to develop social and global impact technology projects. Participants will use meaningful data to build tools, applications and data sources to better visualize, contextualize or understand the world. This year marks Drexel's fourth RHoK event, aimed at bringing the technical community together to develop solutions for issues that aid people through the use of applied science. Drexel students play a huge role in developing this event, generating interest and establishing their own resolutions to dilemmas. Each member will work to contribute while groups work together to brainstorm ideas on how to execute recommendations utilizing technology. The opening reception will take in place in Conversation Hall at Philadelphia City Hall starting at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, May 31, 2013 for refreshments and brainstorming. The hacking will begin on Saturday, June 1, 2013 and the best projects will be featured across the globe. To register, please click here.

Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon was spotted in tears outside the Kabbalah Centre in New York yesterday. The 14-year-old walked out looking like she was in real distress and Madonna went into full Mom mode comforting her and guiding her towards their car protectively. The mother-daughter duo looked as if they were discussing something. This is a very different Lourdes than who who we saw at Macy's just days ago, celebrating the 'Material Girl' one year anniversary. We hope that it's not anything too serious. Cheer up, Lourdes! It'll be okay!

Artistic Touch: Venturan's work celebrates her heritage
It was in college that Veronica Valadez learned about Mesoamerican art, establishing a connection with her heritage that she now shares through her work.
"It was just beautiful aesthetically, but also I felt I could connect with something that had to do with my background," Valadez said.
Her large, colorful, symbolic artwork covers the walls of her Ventura home. Even the bright sunflower designs on the table and chairs were painted by Valadez.
Appropriately, she is exhibiting her work in the current De Colores Art Show, which runs through Feb. 17 at the Santa Paula Art Museum.
"I think I was always interested in art," she said. "I was a visual learner. I was so spatial, I had to put things in perspective and space things out in order to understand."
Valadez grew up in Santa Maria.
"I did see a lot of art growing up, especially in the lowrider (automobile) culture, and that intrigued me," she said.
In the beginning, she drew what she saw around her.
"I grabbed a No. 2 pencil and whatever scrap of paper I could find. I would pick up my older siblings' lowrider art books, and that's what I would draw," she said.
"It wasn't until I started community college that I was exposed to Mesoamerican art," she said. "I was blown away. I was fascinated and very much intrigued."
She learned about the architecture, murals and stone carvings created by indigenous people in Mexico before colonialism.
"They recorded history, astronomy, astrology and calendar systems in their art," she said. "Their art was their written language."
Valadez learned about the interrelationship among the indigenous people through the Americas: the Mayans, the Olmecs, the Toltecs.
"It opened up for me the possibility of learning more about myself: my roots, my lineage, my culture, my heritage," she said. "There was so much I didn't know about myself that I carried within me."
Her parents had come to the United States from Mexico on a visa and eventually became citizens.
"We grew up poor; we were farm workers. My first language was Spanish," she said. "I grew up with all the traditional Mexican celebrations, but they were post-colonial traditions." Even people in Mexico now are disconnected from the pre-colonial history, she explained. "There is this huge disconnection and erasing of history and culture. I was able to reconnect."
In community college, Valadez also was exposed to Aztec dancing.
"It further awakened something inside of me," she said. "I felt more alive, it was surreal in a way. I felt I was taken back in time and like my ancestors came back to life. It made me more hungry, more curious about what else is out there."
She transferred to UC Santa Barbara and earned a bachelor's degree in Chicano studios, then got a bilingual and bicultural teaching credential.
Aside from a color theory class in college, Valadez is self-taught as an artist.
"I thought about double majoring in art, but I didn't have the time or money for that," she said.
While at UC Santa Barbara, she moved from pencil and charcoal to colored pencil, then after graduating started painting in acrylics.
"While being exposed to culture, history and Chicano art, I just wanted to paint," she said. "That was my way of expressing my identity and coming to terms with who I was and who I was becoming and accepting all of who I was or am. That was my expression."
Valadez first exhibited at Bell Arts Factory in Ventura and had a gallery, Under the Sun, there for three years. Along the way, she met Xavier Montes, the founder of De Colores, who encouraged her to continue painting. She has exhibited in that show for about 10 years, she said.
The most important thing about De Colores is that it gives Latino artists an opportunity to exhibit their art, she said.
"It brings together so many different kinds of artists. ... It's community building. It's an acknowledgment of our historical groups, not only from Mexico but here in the States. It's an acknowledgment of the beauty of our culture."
Valadez has taught bilingual education at Montalvo School for 12 years.
"Of course, I expose my students to as much art and culture as possible," she said.
She and an artist she met through De Colores, Luis Garcia, of Los Angeles, painted a mural at the elementary school, documenting the 100-year history of the campus.
She had a solo show in June at the Bell Arts Factory. It was also a celebration of earning her master's degree in Chicana/o studies from CSU Northridge.Valadez is married and has a 20-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter.
"I paint whenever I can squeeze it in. Sometimes, I'm up late at night," she said. "Sometimes, months go by. Whenever I have a break from school, that's when I try to paint."
A lot of the paintings have historical and personal meaning. "Yo Soy Maiz" is a self- and family portrait, deep in symbolism. Deceased ancestors are represented by butterflies.
"We are all there, we are all connected," she said.
Her website is http://www.veronicaxochitlvaladez.com.

Causes of Clutter
I was helping a client this week who has a beautiful home. Everything seemed to have its place and the home was very warm and inviting. I was asked to help with the home office. The office had a desk piled with papers, bills and receipts as well as boxes of more of the same tucked under the desk. I have seen much worse than this, but my client was struggling to get the home office organized and back into a functioning room. As we began to work, we talked about the reasons for the room's unorganized state. There is always a reason behind the clutter. I am not saying this so that we can justify the clutter but to help us recognize that there is something behind the physical clutter we see. Here are a few examples of the reasons why people now have clutter when they used to be able to handle it:
• Death of a loved one
• Medical crises/long term illness
• Change/loss of job (including retirement)
• Family members moving in/out
• New baby
• Divorce
• Depression
• Moving to a new location
All of these reasons have something in common; change and transition. This is a very common trigger for many of us that causes a once under-control home to become cluttered and less functional.
"Every time we go through a major change, we experience a breakdown in our organizational systems." ~ Julie Morgenstern
Periods of transition, such as the ones listed above, require that we give ourselves time to adapt and adjust and then rework our organizational systems to be more in line with our new, current reality.
"Our life is not static and neither are our organizing systems." ~ Natalie Conrad
In other words, give yourself a break. You are going through, or have just gone through, a transition. Once you feel the earth is a little more solid under your feet again, then get some help and get back to being organized. Tweak your old systems or set up a new organizational system.
But here's the thing – start with the present. Don't try to go back through all the things that were "let go" during your transition. Deal with the things that are presently coming in the mail, the projects at hand, and the bills to be paid this month. Set up a system to manage today and if you have time, go back and straighten up the past later.
If you need ideas on how to get started on being more organized now that you've gone through a transition, keep reading this blog for ideas to get you started. Use the "search" function and key words to get help for your particular situation or room in the house. You can also leave me a comment and pick my brain a little!
Similar Posts
Hi Natalie,
Thank you so much for what you do. I enjoy organizing and it is one of the things in my life that takes away stress, believe it or not. I do have a a concern and my daughter points it out all the time to me, and that is that what I do have no matter how often I start out to downsize, I just 'move' it around. I really would like to downsize and have a more spacious feeling in my place, but there are things I just do not want to part with…..Do you have any suggestions????

The Trickle Up Model
Trickle Up's microenterprise development program is specifically designed to reach the extreme poor, people living on less than $1.25 a day, and provide them with the appropriate support and services needed to address their unique challenges. With a special focus on women and people with disabilities, we help extremely poor people take their first steps out of poverty. Our program components are designed and sequenced in a way that takes into account the individual, as well as the varying local contexts of the areas we work in. We specifically target people who are unreached by microfinance or other service organizations, and provide them with the resources they need to build a sustainable livelihood that improves their quality of life. For the women we serve, it is often the first time they have had such an opportunity.
Trickle Up works in partnership with community-based organizations to select the very poorest people in a community and provide three basic inputs:

Greetings fellow micechatters,
Two days back from a six day trip to Orlando including an unprecedented two (TWO!) days at Universal Orlando and an equal number of nights at Halloween Horror Nights, a first for me.
We, me and the girl, were last in Orlando in late May, hoping to make soft openings of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We missed it by about two weeks. So fueled by latent frustration at my previous failure and a long simmering desire to see Universal's Halloween Horror Nights (and the draw of late October, off-season crowds), I booked a shorter trip to Orlando from October 17th to 22nd.
This would be my first trip to the area not monopolized by Disney, with only one day devoted to the Magic Kingdom and a half-day jaunt to Typhoon Lagoon, something else I'd always wanted to do. Every time I go back to central Florida I spend less time at Disney. The last trip I spent two full days at the parks, the trip before that five full days. Consider me the object consumer Disney is losing to other attractions through neglect and marketing over new attractions.
I bought the internet only Universal 2 day park to park access with Halloween Horror Nights access passes, so the first day was intended to be, in this order, start off at Islands of Adventure to see Harry Potter and the usual favorites, skip over to the Studios for the favorites there, then hop back over to Islands to see Harry Potter at night (this would be the only night we were there that it would be open after dark), then back over to the Studios for HHN (hereby mercifully acronymized).
Pics (of varying, though mostly low, quality):
The entrance into Citywalk, I always get excited right about here.
Islands of Adventure lighthouse.
I love the theming in Port of Entry, it really is on par with DisneySea level.
That castly thingy on the horizon? That's where we're going!
But first, a walk through Seuss Landing.
And Lost Continent.
This is the area poised to be overtaken by a Harry Potter expansion, if the rumors hold true. It is an amazingly well themed area, but there's also little to do other than midway games and a sparsely attended Sinbad themed stunt show.
Here we are!
Sweet, sweet butterbeer. More on that later.
Onto the main show, the Forbidden Journey of Harry Potter.
In queue:
House Points.
The verdict? The queue is wonderfully immersive and the ride itself is enthralling. I'm very seriously considering it replacing Haunted Mansion as my favorite dark ride now. It's thrilling, well-detailed and technologically advanced. We rode it at least seven times during our stay. (big tip: the single rider line is often ten minutes at best. Almost no one knows of it, and there are no signs for it, so the regular public is oblivious. Just make sure you go through the regular standby queue at least once so you don't miss all the details.
Back into Hogsmeade.
Three Broomsticks:
This is the only shot I could get of these cool projections that would appear very occasionally as you sit in the Three Broomsticks. They would only last a couple of seconds, but would be shadows of an owl flying or pots and pans magically flying around or a house elf working, very cool. Its the type of detail you don't see at Disney anymore.
Hog's Head Pub.
Inside Zonko's and HoneyDukes.
Up next, more Potter porn!

God Opened the Door
How do you define the word "miracle"? Let me suggest that a miracle is an immediate, extraordinary work of God's power, without the mediation of second causes. It's supernatural. It's unexplainable. In a brief moment, God chooses to intervene in his creation for his divine purpose and glory.
Recently, we received the testimony below from a [...]

Great drinks, great service, Perfect date place, try and get the rooftop.... and make sure you order 5 orders of the chilean sea bass with Peruvian corn.
Posted by Miss NYC 2004 on 09/26/2006
I LOVE this place AND the service is great! We were most impressed last night with our waiter. He had great recommendations on our sushi and drinks - even though it was my uptenth time to go, it is always fun to have more color shed on the other food/drink items avaliable. Their sushi is a step above because it is unique with its sauces, flavors and well, just down right creative. Go and enjoy a great night!
Posted by millo on 07/22/2006
The first time i went to sushi samba, i really liked it. i went for lunch on the rooftop deck. the food was pretty and creative. the second time i went, i had the exact opposite experience. my soup tasted off, the rest of my food was mediocre, but my husband's dish was really tasty. would i recommend? maybe for lunch on a weekday.
Posted by Chris on 05/14/2006
This place is as good as you get. The menu is diverse and the sushi is out of this world. I also love the rooftop deck and the drinks. The waiter was helpful and showed that he loved his job. The rest of the staff was also helpful in clearing dishes and making sure we were taken care of. I can't wait to go back.
Posted by Abe on 03/23/2006
I personally love this place; find the food to be fantastic, wonderful ambiance w/ great service the decor is astonishing along w/ breathtaking drinks and amazing music The only flaw however is the wait to be seated rvsp recommended
Posted by Anonymous on 02/05/2006
Cool place to bring together a bunch of people. food good, not great, but should go there for the ambiance and the party atmosphere
Posted by Jen on 09/29/2005
Went there for brunch, only good thing I can say about the place was a view from upstairs terrance. They screwed up our reservation time twice, wait staff hanging around and doing nothing (and still managed to screw up our order when we were pretty much the only customer there), and food... mediocre. I didn't expect much going in, and come out extremely disappointed.

Don't leave the sale of your home in the hands of just anyone. Do your homework first. Review your real estate agent's performance in your neighborhood and price range. Before you hire them, make sure your agent's expertise matches your needs, whether buying or selling.
Real Estate is a local business where agents like to do deals with people they know. To a Realtor®, "outsiders", agents from neighboring areas, represent unpredictability – a chance their deal won't close. So whether you're selling or buying, you need to identify an agent that has the name and relationships that make all the difference.
The outcome of your home sale or purchase relies on your agent's expertise and reputation. The agent you hire often impacts where you live and how much you pay. Given its importance, we've developed our service to assist you in making an informed decision.

Just because you are an adult now doesn't mean that you can never enjoy a ice pops!!
I bet you remember the lazy days of summer, especially the Indian summers! The long days playing by the lake, the lounging around in hammocks all day and running to get ice pops from the local Mom-and-Pop store around the corner!
Summer time in Florida started a month ago. The heat index was already at 90 degrees even before May had a chance to start. If you visited any one of my local grocery stores, you would notice that they cannot keep their ice-cream section stocked. All their Ice-creams and ice pops sell out faster than the lottery tickets during the dog days of summer.
Memorial Day is the unofficial start to summer and this Bloody Mary ice pop recipe is perfect for all adults.
I want to emphasize the Adult part in this Bloody Mary Ice Pops Recipe. It has Vodka!
Keep the little ones away from these ice pops!!
My first taste of a Bloody Mary drink was actually the non-alcoholic version. It was completely disgusting and I was put off the drink forever! To this day, I am sure I can taste it every time I see someone drinking a Bloody Mary.
This recipe will work great without the alcohol too. Just double the amount of V8 Tomato Juice in this recipe.
If you are a regular reader to my blog, you know how much I LOVE Campari tomatoes. I use them in everything I can think of. This Bloody Mary Ice Pops recipe was a perfect for Campari tomato.
For this recipe, I don't just use canned tomato sauces and juices. The fresh Campari tomatoes in this recipe add a slight sweetness and tanginess to the Bloody Mary Ice Pops.
So, what is your favorite summer memory?
Recipe Details – (Makes 6 Bloody Mary Ice Pops)
Time to prepare: 15 minutes to make, Overnight to freeze
– 5 Campari Tomatoes
– ½ cup of tomato sauce
– ½ cup of V8 Tomato Juice
– ½ cup of your favorite vodka
– ½ a stalk of celery for the recipe
– 3 stalks of celery to use as the Bloody Mary Ice Pops stick
– 1 tsp of salt
– Wash the celery and Campari tomatoes.
– In a blender, add the Campari tomatoes and ½ stalk of celery
– In a food processor, blend the tomatoes and celery until it is completely pureed
– Using a sieve, separate the liquid from the pulp. Don't discard the pulp. You can use it for various recipes in place of vegetable stock.
– Take the tomato liquid and add the remaining ingredients, except the 3 celery stalks
– Fill Ice Pops molds with the Bloody Mary Liquied that you just made. Fill it ¾ of the way and then insert the celery stick
– Wrap the end of the Celery stick that is protruding out of the ice pop with foil. This will prevent the celery stalk from being frozen.
– Place the Bloody Mary ice pops in the freezer and allow freezing overnight
Serve them immediately.

Cut to the chase.
If this query is considered too broad, how do you suggest I narrow it.
If you DO have a good suggestion please offer it.
That I, P & B tend to dislike each other severely due to past events and general history is a matter of record. I & P disagreement over K..mir 'does not help'.
(When neighbouring countries both explode nuclear weapons as a mutual demonstration of capability it's not an indication that all is sweetness and light between them. When they have infrequent but ongoing "border incidents" where people die, the same applies. Suggestions that travel between them may lead to hassles seem not wholly without merit. ).
I'm told that having even a visa from one in your passport may cause you hassles with others.
An ongoing history of visiting others even more so, I'm told.
Having a close relative working in I may be flagged by B and/or P, I'm told,
and cause extra hassles, I'm told.
Is any of this true?
Is there a best way of managing this?
How do you tighten that question?
Summary: I wish to know if there are issues in applying to travel between India, Bangladesh and Pakistan on various occasions and combinations.
My concerns are not re normal travel issues but the potential for "political action" by any parties. I have been led to understand that the less than perfect relationships between the countries concerned can lead to travel issues if you travel between these countries in various ways over a number of trips.
The relevance of mentioning my wife is that her employment in India may add to any concerns over my status. I may have got things completely out of proportion, but I have been told that even a visa for country A in your passport can cause country B to treat you badly.
BACKGROUND: I'm a New Zealand national. My and my wife's ancestors all come from the UK - via Australia during the colonial days. ie we have no South (or other) Asian "roots".
My wife will be travelling to India on business on several occasions throughout 2014, for 3 to 6 weeks at a time. When applying for her Indian visa she was asked many questions relating to Pakistan, if she had any ancestors or relative from Pakistan (no), if she had ever been there (no) and what countries she had visited in the last 10 years.
I would like to visit her in India on one or more occasions - I've never been to India or elsewhere nearby and would love to visit. I'm involved in solar lighting and may well spend some time on business in India in a business capacity - even if only looking at what others are doing. I maybe wanted to provide assistance to a non-profit organisation in Bangladesh who are providing lighting systems in villages. I have also indicated to a US based non-profit who provides solar lighting in villages in Pakistan that I would be interested in assisting them if they considered I may be useful.
If I wish to travel between India, Bangladesh and Pakistan in a business capacity (paid or pro bono) am I going to face problems due to my travel to and from the other countries and activities in the other countries?
Is having my wife in India on a business visa going to affect my travel? Is there an optimum visa to apply for? Is there a way to best apply for visas to avoid problems?
I want to be fully open and honest about where I am going and what I am doing. In India I would be a tourist when visiting my wife but otherwise probably could best be described as on business. The visit to Bangladesh would be business focused but I may not get paid. Pakistan - business - no details yet known.
Other: I am an APEC card holder - which gives me visa-free access to a number of Asian countries, but not to any of the 3 concerned here. The relevance of that is it may better help establish my legitimacy as a business traveller in the region.

Givenchy Maharani Collection for Spring 2009 – Maharani Rose, Maharani Henna, Precious Sari Glittering Eyeshadows Photos, Swatches, Review
Maharani Henna
Finally, the last products to cover from Givenchy's Maharani Collection are the two new Rouge Interdit Satin Lipsticks ($27.00 each) in Maharani Rose and Maharani Henna, as well as their Precious Sari Glittering Eyeshadow ($26.00 each) in Maharani Silver and Maharani Gold.
Maharani Henna is a brickish red that goes on smoothly with lots of richness in color. It's a toned down red for those who find colors like MAC Russian Red just too bold for them to pull off. This is also more of an orange-based red, which may suit some better than blue-based reds. I think if it was more of a jewel-toned red, I might be all over it, but I'm not so excited over this brick-red shade.
Maharani Rose is an opaque medium pink with fairly neutral undretones (doesn't read too cool or too warm for me). There's a nice sheen and glossiness to it when swatched, and I love that it's truly pink. It's not sheer at all, so you know what you're getting into. I would say it leans towards being a strawberry-pink over a pastel pink as well. While the shade itself isn't necessary original, it's a good color and the Rouge Interdit Satin Lipstick formula is fabulous, so it's an excellent choice for those who don't have something similar.
The Precious Sari Glittering Eyeshadows are liquid, metallic shadows. The formula is gel-based and not oily, so it should hold up for at least a few hours on your lids (I haven't tried it on my lids, I can't verify wear time). Maharani Silver is exactly that–bold, shimmery metallic silver! Similarly, Maharani Gold is a metallic gold with a little more depth and deepness in color than say gold jewelry, but I think it actually makes it more wearable as it is not as bright.

The NTA geography is a valuable summary level for both the 2010 Census and the American Community Survey (ACS). Regarding the decennial census, these geographic areas offer a good compromise between the very detailed data for census tracts (2,168) and the broad strokes provided by PUMAs (55). For the ACS, NTAs offer a statistically reliable alternative to the high sampling error that renders data for most individual census tracts unusable.

Razer Orca Gaming and Music Headphones
"My friend bought this from another friend of mine and i kinda used it alot by the time he got a new headphone. It gave me a very good look on what these cans can do. Fit: Very good. Very comfortable. Can withstand long hours of wearing time. Versions: If your looking for the same thing but with a mic the Razer Carcharias will do the trick. Durability: It's ALL PLASTIC...." --PeeTzz74
RAZER Kraken Pro Circumaural Analog Gaming Headset - Black
"Wonderful headset. Very underrated because razer gets a lot of hate for being mainstream " --kigisaru
Razer Tiamat 2.2
"Just got these as an upgrade from my Philips SHG7980 headset. Straight out of the box, they sound great, no equalizer setting modification required. Just plug the headset and get immersed in movies and games. The bass is definitely what makes this headphone shine. Club/rock/dubstep music: perfect with Asus Xonar DGX sound-card (dolby headphone: enabled) Gaming: best when used..." --b3roldan
Razer Megalodon 7.1
"For the price of these($160 when I bought them) they cannot be beat! They have a built in very powerful amp/dac which helps power these very powerful headphones, they have a bigger sound stage than dedicated open headphones as they have built in 7.1 surround sound which open headphones cannot achieve. The clarity at this price is unrivaled, and have some of the most hard hitting base..." --skyforger
Razer Tiamat 7.1
" This headphone have 10 DRIVERS so it's heavy and bulky headset http://www.razerzone.com/tiamat/en/features Gaming and movie (7.1 mode): enjoyable since you can spot location very easy. Music (2.0 mode): if you listen music with 7.1 you can't not hear any bass. However, in 2.0 mode, the sound is extremly boomy and bloated. Overall sound..." --tl13m
Razer Carcharias
"somewhere in the middle is where these belong. 3 stars for the very very comfy wear factor" --peperico
ASTRO Gaming A30 Wireless System (Black)
" The sound quality is a lot better than they make it seem, the marketing shows it being used with PSPs and phones, but they are capable of handling more than angry birds. I use these for PC gaming and music. The sound on these almost compare to my Sony MDR EX700LPs, but with a better soundstage and less bass extension. I actually prefer these to the A40s, they..." --jimmy895
Razer Chimaera 5.1
" its good if you only want to use for game audio and not game chat. I like it myself i use it for xbox 360, but is also compatible with pc for pc gaming. I believe they can work for ps3 but are not chat compatible and that is because they have to be plugged in to a xbox 360 controller in order to use game chat on xbox 360, but does not apply to pc that's just how voip works on a xbox 360. So..." --Full Grizzly
Astro A40 Audio System - White
"Ok first I need to say that I'm not an audiophile, and I use this site mostly for help than giving advise whit that told I will continue I've owned this headset for more than a year and they are really good, if you're looking for a headset that can be used with the xbox, xbox one , ps3, ps4, and not only in your pc and ipod, mp3 player and so but it have an average sound ,..." --MaxiMarciano
Razer Hammerhead Pro In-Ear PC and Music Headset
"First off.. Read this if you are interested in buying a pair of fairly-cheap, Beats replacement products. Otherwise, go look for something else. My friend bought this in a store a few months back and i plan on reviewing them just now... I've used this earbuds lots of times and i've finally got the time to review them. Fit: The fit is very good for me, you can push it up..." --PeeTzz74
