'The Next Food Network Star' Finale Predictions
We have our own thoughts about who would excel with his or her own Food Network television show, but if you've studied the judges' reaction, one candidate seems to have the inside track to victory.
Check out our analysis of who will be 'The Next Food Network Star,' starting with the chef most likely to win ...
1. 'The Next Food Network Star' Will Be ... Aarti Sequeira.
More than any other contestant, Aarti has won over the judges. They admire her tenacity and grace. They gushed over her food last Sunday during the 'Iron Chef America' challenge. Even though she's not a chef and has no experience in a professional kitchen -- and she does not work quickly -- they have overlooked the negatives and appreciated the positives. Yes, she has failed spectacularly, like serving mushy rice, but they've always moved her along.
What's the reason for the pass? Perhaps it's that background as a CNN producer. Also Aarti's proposed show, 'Aarti's Party,' would be an Indian-themed program, which is a niche that's yet to be covered by any other Food Network star. Aarti would represent the kind of expansion into other kinds of food that the network wants.
Finally, Aarti's vivaciousness and bright smile have a strong telegenic appear. When you compare her to Giada DeLaurentiis or Rachael Ray, you can see a similarity and Aarti seems well-suited to promoting the network and her brand -- given some PR schooling and confidence-building.
2. And the first runner up is ... Tom Pizzica.
Through most of the season, Tom has been very high, and very low, depending on the challenge. But when he's succeeded, the judges have really been dazzled. Tom has the bold, adventurer quality that could make any show he created a lot of fun. But he doesn't have a strong, specific point of view, which might hurt him in the end.
As for his personal style, Tom's very good on camera. In the Eva Longoria episode, Tom's interpretation of the word jealousy as a "fairy tale" battle between two types of tuna was both unique and winning. It was a season high point.
However, his huge risk during the 'Iron Chef America' challenge -- making a bacon steak that was inedible -- nearly got him booted from the show. During the commentary section, however, Tom was superb.
Should Aarti be upset, Tom's the likely guy to be named the winner. His Seth Rogen quality, with a dash of Guy Fieri, is very workable for the Food Network gurus. He has some real star potential.
3. Least likely to win ... Herb Mesa.
No offense to Herb, but he's struggled throughout the competition. At one point, he seemed emotionally checked out, but managed to bounce back. To his credit, though, in the 'Iron Chef America' challenge, he did very well with two of three shrimp dishes and might have won the whole thing if he had taken two minutes to clean the clams for the seafood broth.
Ironically, if he had won that challenge, it would have been his only solo victory. In the previous episodes, unlike Aarti and Tom who have racked up solo wins, Herb just won only once ... and that was in partnership with Brianna.
However, when all is said and done, Herb's been too unsure of himself and his goals to be the top guy. Once before the Food Network went with a contestant who's heart was not in the process.
In season 3, Amy Finley was named 'The Next Food Network Star,' but she had at one point removed herself from the competition. A controversy with another contestant put her back in the running. So she was the winner, and after just six episodes of a show called 'The Gourmet Next Door,' she flaked out on them and walked away from the network.
Herb's emotion have gotten the better of him during season 6. Will Food Network risk a show on another potentially unsure chef? I don't think so.
So, those are our predictions. What do you think? Share your comments and thoughts before Sunday's broadcast on the Food Network.

Horses are the mane attraction at Conejo Valley event
The was no reining in the enthusiasm of some youngsters who got to see a horse for the first time on Saturday.
The ninth annual Day of the Horse at Conejo Creek Equestrian Park in Thousand Oaks drew about 3,000 people who enjoyed around 20 shows and demonstrations, many vendors and a benefit silent auction.
Barbara Kloster, president of Equestrian Trails Inc., Corral 37, spends the year organizing the event. She put together all the auction items and hoped they would raise at least last year's sum of $4,500. The proceeds will be split to buy hay for the horses of Newbury Park's Ride On Therapeutic Horsemanship and Ojai's California Coastal Horse Rescue.
"Ride On teaches children and adults with physical or mental disabilities how to ride," Kloster said. "California Coastal Horse Rescue rescues horses that people don't want anymore."
For many children, Saturday's event provided an opportunity to touch a horse or pony for the first time. The Daych family, of Newbury Park, was petting Rosie, a 2-year-old miniature horse from California Coastal Horse Rescue.
Masha Daych said it was a very exciting day for her 3-year-old and 1-year-old kids, who had never seen horses up close before.
"This has been wonderful for our children to be able to see these horses and touch them, see the different range of sizes and their skills," she said.
That's the idea.
"This introduces kids in a safe way to horses and gives them an experience they might not otherwise have," said Julie Henderson with California Coastal Horse Rescue. "It gives them contact with horses and an education and gets our cause out there."
Lucia Lang, of Newbury Park, said her children also were enjoying the horses. Her 1-year-old was enthralled, as was Elias, 4.
"It's so big," Elias said. "And look at its mouth. Do horses bite?"
Katie Cook, 10, of Simi Valley, came to check out the shows.
"I love horses," she said. "I'm in the Santa Rosa 4-H, and I'm going to see my friends do the drill team today."
After the Arabian versatility show, Savannah Norman, 9, of Simi Valley, said: "It was awesome. I loved the horses and the costumes."
Certified equine sports massage therapist Linda Bassani had a booth to offer horse owners some information on pain issues. When she was a horse groomer, she heard stories from people who almost lost their horses because vets couldn't find a problem with the animal.
"The vet examined them, took X-rays and said, 'The bones are fine, the horse is fine,' but the horse was still acting up," Bassani said. "You can't X-ray muscles. By massaging the muscles, you're alleviating the pain, extending the range of motion and doing things for the horse a regular doctor can't."
Nearby, Pearl, a 5-year-old miniature therapy horse, was doing some tricks for a crowd. Her owner Victoria Nodiff-Netanel, based in Malibu Canyon, was explaining how they have been visiting veterans hospitals for more than four years.
"She's a certified pet therapy horse," Nodiff-Netanel said.
Sophia Goroyan, 7, of Thousand Oaks, and her brother Gabriel, 4, were enjoying the day's events and stopped with their mother, Lana, to take a look at Pearl.
"It would be so cool to see a horse come into your room if you were sick," said Lana Goroyan. "That is an amazing little horse."
Sophia thought so.
"I think Pearl would make a lot of people smile," she said.

Epstein postulates three basic domains in classic-romantic music: pitch, duration, and phrase and nuance. The first domain encompasses vertical and horizontal aspects of pitch, such as thematic shape, aspects of harmony and tonal relations. The second domain involves temporal aspects of music which he explains through five topics: 1) the dual aspect of musical time, that is, chronometric time (metric, clockwise) vs. integral time (rhythmic, flexible) ; 2) the intangible character of time: there is not a human sense that perceives or measure it; 3) levels of temporal structure; 4) the differentiation between structu ral (accent) and non-structural (stress, dynamics, articulations ...) emphases; and 5) tempo as a unifying element in music. The third musical domain that Epstein addresses is phrase and nuance, "secondary" aspects of music such as dynamics, timbre, and register that coexist and interrelate with the previous two domains.
Epstein put his theory into practice analyzing numerous pieces, among them the opening movements of Beethoven's Eroica, and Brahms's second symphony. The analysis of the Eroica demonstrates how the opening theme is the organizing and germinal element of t he movement. He uses Brahms's second symphony to exemplify how events of an ambiguous nature may function as a compositional premise affecting the overall structure of the piece.
Finally, Epstein addresses the problem of devising proper systems to deal with the more subjective aspects of music, something that, he believes, music theory has not been able to do. He suggests that an interdisciplinary approach would be quite benefici al in clarifying those musical spheres situated beyond our intuition.

Jeri Dansky of Jeri's Organizing and Decluttering News just helped a jewelry designer whip her office/guest room closet into shape.
Kittens make everything cuter
6 Responses
Wow! Hats off to Jeri! And the last photo with the lovely kittens is a definite "keeper".
No matter what kind of clutter you have, a cat will always find a way to make a bed in it. Sometimes for days!
I love this! Of course, that shouldn't be a surprise. P.S. Oaxaca's working on sign language. She can understand a few signs and follow some instructions, and has separate signs for 'I want what you have,' 'I want cat food NOW, lady,' and 'I want bacon.' It's a work in progress.
Needs more kittens.
Thank you, Naomi (and all of you with kind comments). This was such a fun little project!
By the way, the kittens are named Topsy and Turvy.

Dude, run NBC instead of running it into the ground while crying about Apple.
Jeff Zucker is crying about Apple. Crying about iPods. Crying about iTunes. What the Zuck!? I mean I totally get crying about Apple. I shorted AAPL at $52 and covered at $60 (fortunately), but didn't have the good sense to go long even though I am the ultimate Apple fanboy these days. Love my iPhone - best gadget EVER - even with all its flaws. Anyway, Zuck didn't have the sense to go long either, I'm guessing. I can totally understand shedding a tear. But crying about iTunes killing the music industry and that it will do the same thing to the video business? Crying that Apple sold millions and millions of dollars of hardware on the back of the video content NBCU had on iTunes? C'mon.
Hardly anybody is downloading video content on iTunes but everyone has an iPod - it didn't have a freaking thing to do with NBC content. OK, maybe out of every million iPods sold, five people did it because they wanted to watch Heroes on a 2" screen. Yeah, yeah, now you can pay more and get a 3.5" screen (and it's worth it if you like watching video on portable devices) , but you can't get NBC content on iTunes now. Apple sold like 1.4 million iPhones already - not sure how many iPod touches it has sold, but what I am sure of is this: none of those sales had a Zucking thing to do with NBC content.
Nice try though. And given all the $$ Apple apparently spends on product placement on NBC shows, not to mention advertising - I do admire the stones. But, it's just dopey commentary.
One thing Zucker said that I kind of agree with was this: "Nobody has figured out the economic model yet. And if we don't figure it out soon, those dollars will turn to pennies."
Zuck - it's math, and the equation = pennies on the dollar. That's as it should be. For the longest time the technology was such that the big media empires got to get paid more than once for the same content -- that's all going away.
Just wait until Steve Jobs puts a DVR into Apple TV and makes it "push button easy" to watch the content recorded on your hard drive. Whether you want it on your TV, your internet connected computer or your iPod, someday with a press of a button you'll get it.
Zucker is really going to hate Jobs then, huh?
That's how the technology is progressing and it's all perfectly legal. Who could blame Apple for trying to capitalize on changes to technology? They're a freaking technology company. Duh! The control people have to do what they will with content for their personal use will get easier and easier and there's no business model to stop it.
Using the legal system to challenge the legality of making it easy for you to copy content you acquired legally for your personal use is not a business model. Big media has tried that route before and failed (tape recorder, VCR). Failing paved the way for the DVR. Game over. It's just a matter of time. In the meanwhile...
Is Steve Jobs responsible for NBC's lousy ratings? I understand the desire to distract everyone from the fact that NBC is mostly an also-ran broadcast network these days. I do love Heroes and Law and Order, but they're no House. I want to love Journeyman and the Bionic Woman, but like most other people in the world, I don't. So stop crying about Apple and make better shows. Then perhaps people will watch them and you'll make money for NBC the old fashioned way: selling advertising.

|26 July 1630
(aged 68)
Savigliano, Piedmont
Charles Emmanuel I (Italian: Carlo Emanuele di Savoia; 12 January 1562 – 26 July 1630), known as the Great, was the Duke of Savoy from 1580 to 1630. He was also nicknamed Testa d'feu ("Head of Fire") for his rashness and military attitudes.
He was born in the Castle of Rivoli in Piedmont, the only child of Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy and Margaret of France, Duchess of Berry. He became duke on 30 August 1580.[1]
Ambitious and confident, he followed a policy of expansion for his duchy. In the autumn of 1588, taking advantage of the civil war weakening France during the reign of his first cousin Henry III, he occupied the Marquisate of Saluzzo, which was under French protection. The new king, Henry IV, demanded the restitution of that land, but Charles Emmanuel refused, and a war ensued. The broader conflict involving France and Spain ended with the Peace of Vervins (May 2, 1598), which left the current but separate question of Saluzzo unsolved. After the Duke had started talks with Spain, Henry threatened to reopen the war until, with the Treaty of Lyon (January 17, 1601), Saluzzo went to Savoy in exchange for Bresse and other territories over the Alps. By terms of the treaty, the eradication of Protestants was to be carried on in the Duchy.
In 1602, Charles Emmanuel attempted to besiege the city of Geneva. On December the 11th of that year, he commanded his troops to the city during the night, and they surrounded the city walls at 2:00 AM. The Savoyard cuirassiers were ordered to dismount and climb the city walls in full armour as a shock tactic. However, the alarm was raised by a night watchman and Geneva's militia rose to meet the invaders. The attempted raid was a disastrous failure, and 54 Savoyards were killed, and many more were captured. Charles Emmanuel's army retreated in a panic and the Savoyard prisoners were executed.
The heavy helmets worn by Charles Emmanuel's troops, which featured visors made in crude imitation of a human face, were henceforth known as "Savoyard" helmets after this notorious incident. A number of these armours were captured by the Swiss and kept as trophies. The Geneva militia's successful defence of the city's walls is celebrated to the present day as an act of heroism with the annual festival of L'Escalade.
Charles Emmanuel was one of the most wanted candidates for the crown of a restored Serbian Kingdom, hypothetically presumed after a Christian crusade against the Ottoman Empire during the plannings of the Great Conspiracy of the late 16th and early 17th centuries under the auspices of Serb Patriarch John II Cantul, Herzegovinian Duke Grdan and other chiefs of the Serb clans. In the 1608 Council of monastery Morača on a gathering of the representatives of the Serb clans and the Serbian Church, Charles was elected King of Serbia and invited to switch to Eastern Orthodoxy as a precondition for getting crowned by Patriarch John, as well as vow himself for the protection tern Orthodox Christianity. The conspirators, keeping closely in mind the failures of the 1590s actions, did not want to expose themselves in any action before direct support from the West, leading to no broad uprising of the Balkan Christian peoples under rule by the Ottoman Turks realizing at all, due to the fact that Charles Emmanuel was lacking the necessary financial resources in order to become king of Serbia and restore its statehood, extinguished in the 15th century.
With the Treaty of Bruzolo (April 25, 1610), Charles Emmanuel allied with France against Spain, but the assassination of Henry IV changed the situation, as the treaty was not recognized by Marie de' Medici, who immediately assumed regency for Henry's son Louis XIII, a minor. Nevertheless, Charles Emmanuel obtained the help of French troops to free Alba from the Spaniards (January 1617), as the new King Louis XIII resumed his father's former alliance with Savoy. His sister Christine Marie was married to Charles Emmanuel's son, Victor Amadeus in 1619.
In the First Genoese-Savoyard War of 1625, Charles Emmanuel tried with the help of France to obtain access to the Mediterranean Sea at the expense of Genoa.[2] After Spanish intervention, the status-quo was restored in the Treaty of Monçon.
However, when the French occupied Casale Monferrato during the War of the Mantuan Succession, Charles Emmanuel allied with Spain. When Richelieu invaded Piedmont and conquered Susa, the duke changed sides again and returned to an alliance with France. However, when Philip IV of Spain sent two invasion forces from Genoa and Como, Charles Emmanuel declared himself neutral, and in 1630 Richelieu ordered a French army to march into Savoy to force him to obey the pacts. The French troops, soon backed by another army, occupied Pinerolo and Avigliana. The Savoy army under Victor Amadeus was defeated in Lower Valsusa.
The duke, having caught a violent fever, died suddenly at Savigliano in late July 1630. He was succeeded by his son Victor Amadeus.
Marriage and issue[edit]
He married his second cousin, Infanta Catherine Michelle of Spain, daughter of Philip II of Spain and Elizabeth of Valois and had ten children:
- Filippo Emanuele, Prince of Piedmont (1586–1604)
- Victor Amadeus (1587–1637) married Princess Christine Marie of France and had issue;
- Emanuele Filiberto (1588–1624), Spanish Viceroy of Sicily (1622–24)
- Margaret (1589–1655), married Francesco IV Gonzaga of Mantua
- Isabella of Savoy (1591–1626), married Alfonso III d'Este, Hereditary Prince of Modena
- Maurizio, a cardinal (1593–1657)
- Maria Apollonia, a nun in Rome (1594–1656)
- Francesca Catherina, a nun in Biella (1595–1640)
- Tommaso Francesco (1596–1656) married Marie de Bourbon, Countess of Soissons and had issue;
- Giovanna (born 1597)
After the death of his wife, he never remarried, but was father to another eleven children from 1600 onwards by the following women: Luisa de Duing, Argentina Provana, Catherine de Roussillon (mother of Margherita di Savoia who was an ancestor of Maria Teresa Cybo-Malaspina), Virginia Pallavicino, Anna Caterina Meraviglia and Anna Felizita Cusa.

Orchard Farm, Parwich, Nr. Ashbourne, Derbyshire, DE6 1QB
You may have sensed by now that we are rather keen on cooking and good food and probably err on the side of self-indulgence. We get a weekly organic veggie box from Riverford, which we really appreciate, although it must be admitted that at this time of year we also have a glut in the garden – mainly at the moment of courgettes and beans not to mention plums and soon it will be apples and damsons…
Anyway, we discovered that the Riverford Field Kitchen was coming up to Riverford Stockley Farm in Cheshire to host a series of lunches and dinners in a yurt. We had heard very good reviews of the meals provided and hadn't ever actually been in a yurt so decided to give it a try. Stockley Farm is perhaps an hour and a half's drive, but a wonderfully scenic route on a good day 'over the top' past the Cat and the Fiddle which is meant to be the highest pub in England. And our experience proved well worth the journey.
The said yurt turned out to be a rather beautiful circular creation with an ash frame. Eighty people sat at ten tables fanning out from the centre where stood a large wood burning stove – which was very definitely not needed today. The main course was chunks of delicious grilled chicken on a white bean and tomato sauce (I am sure there was a more poetic name but I didn't master that) and numerous plates of quite equally delicious fresh vegetables, potatoes and garlic, carrots with caraway seeds and everybody's favourite on our table, thinly sliced green beans and Parmesan cheese. All this was prepared in an impressively small field kitchen and served by a very competent and friendly young team who really made one feel they were genuinely enjoying serving us.
The puddings were almost literally to die for: extremely rich chocolate brownies, Eton Mess with blueberries and great chunks of meringue, and a plum clafoutis, light as a feather. The last was a new one to all on our table, but everyone made a mental note to try it out. Seriously good coffee followed, then feeling very well-fed and somewhat sleepy we wended our way home. There was a lot of (all organic) wine and beer on sale, but because of the drive we steered clear of that.

Marian Arnold
Marian Arnold regularly arrives at the ABC studios, where she presents Your Requests, with a violin slung over her shoulder. Recent successes in music exams have made a smile of delight hard to erase. It was an accidental discovery, when moving house, of a ½ size instrument which led Marian to take up the violin seriously as an adult. After earlier studies in singing and music criticism both in Australia and London, 'the sound of the violin is so close to the singing voice, it just felt like the right fit'.
She is a graduate of Sydney University (BA Dip Ed AMusA), and began her career as a high school music teacher. But the performing streak proved rather seductive, and she spent most of her 20s as a singer.
These days Marian's major performing outlet is radio presentation. She has worked for ABC Classic FM in the dual roles of producer and presenter since 1981 and has worked in almost every timeslot, including being the first regular weekday morning presenter. She thoroughly enjoys her Your Requests program, one of the highest rating shows on the network, which she has hosted for more than two decades. Marian also presents Sunday Morning and many live broadcasts, including those of the Sydney Symphony and Sunday Live in Sydney, and has presented every SIPCA since 1992.
Marian says: "Radio is a craft, and you have to want to learn it. Presenting music on radio has taught me to listen - to listen fast, and to listen slow. What does that mean? It means never to let the music pass by unnoticed; to hear every note, whatever the tempo and however complex or simple. I had one correspondent who wrote in to me to say that Bach sounded like 'a jumble of notes'. My advice was to start by listening to slow movements, accustom the ear to listening to harmonic progression and melodic direction, and then build the understanding and speed from there. Of course, that's just one way of approaching great and complex music."
"The other thing presenting music has taught me is to listen for its import and impact; to listen emotionally. One way or another, I just can't imagine a day going by without music."

The democratic campaign group Republic has challenged the BBC over its role as what it describes as "propagandist-in-chief for the royal family".
The Bushmen of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, who face removal from their land, have appealed to Prince William ahead of his impending visit to Botswana.
Why Prince William should carve out a new role for himself as peacemaker. As the recent focus on the growing death toll in Afghanistan brings into sharp relief, the best way to honour those affected by the disfigurement, maiming and killing which accompanies all wars, is not to glamorise those who do it.

Looking for Capital to Start Your Business?
Are you wondering how to obtain small business financing so that you can turn your dream business into a reality? Would you like to know the best ways to obtain small business loans? Or maybe you want to know more about angel investors or venture capitalists. We highly encourage you to read our review of three solid resources that can help you with your new business financing in our article, Small Business Financing: How to Obtain the Capital You Need to Start Your Business.
Business Overview:
If you are a skilled baker who loves making cakes for special occasions, and you want to be your own boss, starting a wedding cake business is the perfect fit. In any economy, people will continue to get married and most weddings have a grand cake as the centerpiece. There is much more to consider when looking into how to start a wedding cake business, however, than buying a few more mixers. You should start with a solid business plan. This plan will help you focus your business and decide how you will market it, what types of licenses are required, how many (if any) employees you will need, etc. You likely already have some basic baking supplies but you will need to purchase professional mixers and other equipment and set aside a large enough area to have multiple cakes in the works simultaneously. Be sure to check with the health department to see what types of inspections and permits are required. Next you will want to experiment with different cake and icing recipes until you have a few that you are confident with. Set up a website to showcase photos of your beautiful cakes. This way when prospective customers ask about your cakes, you can simply refer them to your website. Have business cards and brochures printed up and distribute them to area businesses that cater to brides – bridal boutiques, florists, catering companies, etc. Another important marketing tool with this type of business idea will be word of mouth advertising. Be sure to give your clients a few business cards to pass along to their friends and even consider offering discounts initially. Soon you will need to hire a small staff to help fill your orders and deliver your cakes all around town.
A Day in the Life of a Wedding Cake Business Owner:
This article brought to you by Business Ideas! If you enjoyed this article, make sure to subscribe to the Business Ideas Newsletter to get ideas sent straight to your email inbox.Your day will begin with a check of your email and voicemail for any new orders. You will contact prospective customers to go over their cake needs and you may even need to meet with them in person to discuss specifics. They will likely also want to do some taste testing, so you'll need to have small samples ready. Next, you will need to check your schedule for any deliveries that need to be made that day. You will make sure the cakes are finished and perfect before transporting them to the wedding venue. If you have a staff working with you, you will assign some of these tasks to them and follow up with your contact at the wedding to make sure the cakes were delivered as promised. If you have some down time, you will distribute marketing materials to local businesses to get the word out. Finally, you will check your finances to ensure everything is in order.
About Your Customers:
Your customers will be brides, caterers and wedding coordinators looking for the perfect wedding cake for their ceremonies.
What You Need to Start:
- Business plan
- Marketing plan and materials
- Licenses and permits
- Professional baking equipment and supplies
- Designated baking area
- Vehicle to transport cakes
- Computer with finance software
The Good:
- Demand for wedding cakes will always be high.
- Once you have a few "signature" cakes, baking and delivering them is simple.
- Start up costs are low.
- You can charge top dollar for exquisite wedding cakes.
- You can easily run this business from home and in your spare time until you want to hire a staff and really expand your business.
The Bad:
- Deadlines are extremely important in this business so it can be stressful at times.
- It could take some time to build up your client list.
- International Cake Exploration Society
- American Bakers Association
- Bureau of Labor Statistics on Food Processing Occupations
- Wikipedia on Wedding Cakes
The Marketing Program is a step-by-step, walk-you-by-
the-hand bootcamp.
Each month, we give you ONE (and no more than one) "marketing project" to complete in your business.
You do that one project each month . . . and we guarantee that if you do the stuff, you'll double your online income during the next 12 months, or we'll double your money back.
Anyway, each monthly marketing project is a plain -as-day, from A-Z, step-by-step, no B.S. blueprint (that has been tested and proven to work over and over again) for getting multiple on-demand cash infusions into your business.

Carey was born Sept. 16, 1922, in Macon to the late Carey King Williamson and Iva Mae Weaver Williamson. As a child, he traveled with the Boy Scouts on Lake Rabun, where he had fond memories of Rabun County. After graduating high school, he entered the Navy and served in the Pacific theater during the entirety of World War II. After returning home, he married Mary Griggs Williamson in 1946 and returned to Rabun County for their honeymoon. They stayed in the Bleckley Hotel in Clayton. He stated that he wanted to live in Clayton someday. Carey was employed with Central Georgia Railways and then Norfolk Southern Railways, where he retired. After retirement, he got his wish. He was able to purchase a home in Clayton in 1982 and has lived in Clayton ever since. He became an active member of St. James Episcopal Church and loved his church family. Carey was a loving husband to his wife of 68 years and loving father to his children.
In addition to his parents, Mr. Williamson was preceded in death by a sister, Roberta Williamson Parker.
He is survived by: his wife; son, Carey King Williamson III of Georgetown, S.C.; daughters, Catherine Irene Williamson of Clayton and Mary Louise Williamson of Marietta; four grandchildren, Tracy L. Williamson, Patrick S. Marks, Chris R. Williamson and Georgia W. Bixler; three great-grandchildren; and a number of nieces and nephews.

(The longer version I typed into my AlphaSmart keyboard during the hospital stay)
I had heard of others who've had a close call with death share their renewed enthusiasm for this life. Mine helped me grasp more fully what it means to be born again. I don't know if medically my experience qualifies as a "near death" experience, but it has changed me. It has changed me forever. "What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things" (Phillipians 3:8). Please allow me to share a little of my story.
I had a stroke on January 3, 2004. The morning dawned crisp and cold. Our family had been skiing in Winter Park, Colorado for five days, enjoying terrific snow— if not enduring some of the longest lines and most crowded conditions I had ever seen at that area. Apparently Winter Park was one of the few areas in Colorado that had received decent snowfall yet this year. My parents had hosted my husband and children and me for a week après Christmas with my sister and a family friend. After a great time on the slopes and a relaxing time at the large home my parents had rented, we packed up to head back to Dallas, breaking up the drive by staying overnight in Pueblo, CO.
After a quick breakfast at the Hampton Inn, we headed for home. Our family is used to road trips. Not that we've always had the choice, but I think given the choice we might still prefer them to plane flights. We packed enough for several weeks of travel—not in clothes, but in things to do en route: videos and DVDs, audio-books, books to read aloud and silently, Game Boys, Bret's laptop loaded with new games, things to work on. I had even decided to bite the bullet on the trip down and make the switch to a Palm Pilot. Bret had tutored me and I had been able to input all of my spring semester appointments and activities for myself and the kids.
With our kids being older, 12, 9, and 8, such trips have become a joy rather than a burden. We read aloud and listened to the books on tape, including The Hobbit and Ghosts in the Gallery on this particular trip. I regret that we never got to My Side of the Mountain; that was the one Reese, my youngest, had picked out.
Our kids are conditioned to travel in the car. We've logged more than 100,000 miles on my Suburban in less than four years—most of it in road trips to Colorado, Branson, MO and Gulf Shores, AL. There, the secrets are out about America's best (and least expensive) vacation spots!
After a continental breakfast at the Hampton Inn, we headed south on Interstate 25. We were cheerful, eager, expectant. None of us has ever dreaded road trips; on the contrary, we enjoy the time to read together, listen to books on tape, enjoy some of our favorite music or simply share thoughts about goals and life in general. This particular morning, we decided to finish These Happy Golden Years, the final book in the Little House on the Prairie series. One of my favorites as a kid, I've had the pleasure and privilege of making the books come alive to my own children, my boys enjoying them as much as my daughter. In fact, during the drive across the icy, snowy Berthoud Pass on the way home from Winter Park, my voice and that book helped keep my husband calm and the kids oblivious to any possible risks of the narrow, treacherous conditions.
To bring you up to speed, Almanzo Wilder is wooing Laura Ingalls, but the hated Nellie Oleson, his nearest neighbor, has schemed to ride behind the brown Morgans—the fastest, nicest and most beautiful team of horses in the territory. This particular Sunday, Almanzo has promised to pick up Laura for a buggy ride. As the buggy approaches, Laura can see that Nellie is already sitting by Almanzo. The two women have disliked one another for years, dating back to time when they were both children living in another part of the country, when Nellie insulted Laura's parents. Laura debates whether or not to go with them, but decides to not give up Almanzo without a fight. I continued reading, as engrossed in the story I read time and time again as a child, my children as enraptured with the timeless nature of the pioneer struggles and romance as I.
Suddenly I struggled to catch my breath and the book seemed farther away than arms' length. The words did not exactly blur on the page, but they jumped around—some appearing closer, other's farther, much farther, away. I put down the book and turn back around to face front in my seat.
My oldest son Charlie asked, "What, Mom?" He referred not to my condition, but rather what happened next in the story. After all, having rooted for Laura and Almanzo for several books, we weren't about to lose him to Nellie Olsen now! I breathed deep, but my breath caught in my throat. My vision blurred—not teary blurry, but more like a Salvadore Dali painting with some objects appearing near, some much farther away, most distorted. The kids pressed me again to continue. I told them I needed to catch my breath. Little did I know that my body was having a stroke.
I now know the physiological reasons for strokes—more than I ever wanted to know, truth be told—but at that moment, I only know that things seemed distorted and strange. My right side went completely numb. I had the sensation of being in a fun house complete with distorted mirrors that kept me from seeing clearly. I grabbed my right arm with my left and could feel nothing.
My dear husband, sensing the seriousness of the situation, pulled off the highway, eased to the side of the road and came around to my side of the car within moments. He says that he began massaging my right arm. I could feel nothing. I remembering hearing a sharp intake of breath when I saw him—with my left eye—massaging my right arm. Still I could feel nothing. I grabbed my right thigh frantically hoping for some feeling, some sensation. It was a wooden stump. With as little as I know about the condition, my mind immediately thought "stroke"! Bret was back around to the driver's side in a matter of seconds and turned the car around to head back toward Pueblo.
- Miracle #1: My husband sharpened his sales teeth in the toughest training ground possible—pharmaceutical sales. As a result, he had become conditioned—whether consciously or subconsciously—to notice the blue hospital road signs as he drove around his large territory attempting to steal a few moments from doctors' busy schedules. He entered the highway, going back to the north, and saw such a sign within moments. He exited, following the signs.
He jokes that he knew that I was going to be OK when I argued with him about the direction we were taking—through a residential neighborhood. (Wouldn't it make more sense for a hospital—especially one that would have the kind of facilities we would need to treat my stroke—to be in more commercial area?) Seconds later, we turned into the parking lot at the emergency room of St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center. The sign out in front of this relatively tiny hospital listed three specialties. The last one was Stroke Trauma Center. God had led us to the right place.
- Miracle #2: We entered the ER and no one else was waiting. I was admitted in a matter of seconds and placed on a gurney. He took care of a few paperwork items while a nurse wheeled me to the trauma center.
- Miracle #3: Possibly because he had used up several "favors" during the recent Christmas holiday or just by God's miraculous design, the doctor on call in the ER was the Chief of Staff of the hospital. He gave me individual attention for the next three hours that I was there. I watch ER. The Chief of Staff is never the "on call" doctor in the ER.
- Miracle #4: I was in a bed, being monitored and examined within fifteen minutes of my initial symptoms. I wouldn't have been able to do that had I been in my own home—the hospital being about a fifteen-minute drive with no traffic.
Continuing with my distorted Salvadore Dali theme, I saw half of a doctor examine half of my body. I've been assured that he examined all of me, but my sensations, including nerve endings and vision, saw him only examining my left side. I had three more "episodes" of the numbness while I was in the ER. It came on me in waves—much like the tingling you feel when your foot wakes up after sitting too long.
Our children were gems, troopers, angels—you choose the word. Charlie, my twelve-year-old, especially bore a great responsibility, rising to the occasion with strength and grace. He had been sitting less than two feet from me in the car when the stroke occurred. Plus at his age, he was old enough to grasp the gravity of the situation. He later admitted he thought I was dying. He watched his younger brother and sister, nine-year-old Molly and eight-year-old Reese the entire time I was being examined and Bret was in the back with me. He read to them, played with them, kept them calm in spite of his own fears and concerns about my condition. He jumped from twelve to seventeen emotionally that morning.
I remember little of what happened after that. The doctor ordered a battery of tests. (It's always called a "battery", isn't it, though I have no idea why.) I had a CAT Scan, an EKG, two MRIs and numerous examinations both in the ER and in my room once they admitted me.
Verdict: stroke, caused by a blood clot that had drifted through a hole in my heart and up to the left side of my brain—thus the paralysis on my right side. The doctor started me on meds right away and monitored every bodily function I have—some I didn't even know about. Hours passed and my children played and read and charmed their way into the hearts of the hospital staff.
- Miracle #5: Again, possibly due to vacation schedules, the head of the neurology department was on call and assessed my situation, ordering additional tests and meds.
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord you God will be with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9). Verses like this reverberated through my mind. Though I never considered the damage to be life-threatening, I was uncertain about what senses and functions I might regain. We have had several friends and acquaintances experience strokes. Many results have been debilitating.
The prayers went out very soon after I was admitted. My husband called the key people at church and in our families—movers and shakers who would get the word out on a Saturday at the end of a holiday.
Calls of encouragement and support came pouring in. We had recently been involved in a search for a new Sunday school class, having recently been called to teach in the youth department with our son Charlie. As a result, we had three different classes with close friends who committed to pray for my recovery and the well-being of our family.
"I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Joshua 1:5). I sensed the presence of the Lord throughout each test, each scan, each round of medication. He reminded me again and again that He—not these doctors, as wonderful as they were—is the Great Physician. He assured me that He desired only good and not evil for me all the days of my life. I truly experienced the peace that passes all understanding. Having recently read Randy Alcorn's tremendous novel about death and heaven, Deadline, I wasn't afraid to die; on the contrary, I look forward to eternal life with my Savior and Lord—free from pain, anguish and turmoil that we have in this life. However, I remember thinking that God still wanted me here. That He had some unfinished plan for my life. I pray that His plan
will be revealed and I will be obedient to whatever He calls me to do.
To say that the night was rough barely scratches the surface. Anyone who has ever spent the night in the hospital knows that you don't go there to get rest. I was awakened throughout the night for blood pressure, pulse-ox and temperature checks. They drew blood at least every four hours—sometimes more often—for various tests, one time collecting seven vials. I woke when I needed to go to the bathroom, even when I rolled over—being hooked to the IV.
In the morning things were much brighter. The night was a refining fire, a cleansing. The morning brought new hope and the realization that not only would I live to praise the Lord for another day, but that He had graciously chosen to restore my body.
We saw many more miracles during our stay.
- Miracle #6: Bret called Dr. Greg Schucany, a radiologist friend of ours from church to talk about my condition. Greg knew the radiologist who had been processing my MRI films; they had worked together at Baylor Hospital as members of the same radiology group for years. A quick phone call and Bret headed downstairs to radiology for a one-on-one lesson on how to read my films. This caring doctor even sent them home with us.
- Miracle #7: My parents had not yet left Colorado. They were able to come to the hospital, pick up our children, and take everyone home to Rockwall. My condition was stable and doctors expected a complete recovery, so it was better for the kids to get home and back to school.
- Miracle #8: Our good friends, the Mases, the Arledges, and the Scheeles, came into our home and prepared it for our return. They put away all of our Christmas decorations, tidied the house, stocked the refrigerator and pantry, and left a beautiful flowering plant for us to enjoy. Thank God for a rallying support system, ever present with prayers and practical help during this time.
We saw dozens of other smaller miracles during our trip home my subsequent recovery. Many came in the form of caring notes from friends, especially teachers and children from our kids' schools. Others were everyday miracles given as meals and practical help such as carpooling and watching our kids. I kept up with thank you notes during the first two weeks, but there became so many, I lost track. Thank you to all who cared for us in our time of need. You rallied and exemplified the love of Christ.
Healing continued slowly but steadily. I still was unable to read for nearly two months. My mind couldn't wrap around words—I just didn't have the attention span. I remember the day I finally felt like checking e-mail—what a milestone! Throughout the entire process, I was indeed "confident of this, that he who began a good work
in [me] will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 1:6). I'm still not sure that I fully understand the meaning of this verse, but God has certainly shown me how fleeting and fragile this life can be. He has shown me His infinite mercy in allowing me a second chance to right wrongs, give and receive forgiveness, experience the fullness of joy in this life, and rely on Him for my every breath, my every step, my every thought.
I do not consider myself worthy to carry such a message—of life, of redemption, of grace—but He has not given me a choice in the matter. His perspective not mine. His directives, not mine. His priorities, not mine. If I do nothing else, may I serve him humbly, thankful for each subsequent breath and reminded that He is not
only the giver of all good things, but He is the Lord of the Universe. He is not only the Great Physician, He is my Redeemer and yours!
I pray—not to be worthy of the message He has now called me to deliver—but simply to love him with all my heart, mind, soul and strength. Loving my neighbor as myself wouldn't hurt either.
May God be glorified through my actions, my speech, my attitude forevermore. Thank you for this second chance, Father. I pray that I will not let you down.

Brian Eno, the legendary British composer, musician and producer has announced Drums Between The Bells, an upcoming collaborative album out via Warp. The experimental guru will be joined by the poet Rick Holland whom he originally met with in the '90s during a collaborative student effort in the UK called the Map-Making project. The pair has been frequently meeting up and working together since then, but up until now, nothing has ever been released. This new album is supposed to be all new material so fans will still have to wait to hear anything that the two put together before this year's recording sessions. The physical CD release of the album will include a 44 page art book in hardback form.
"Glitch," the album's first single, is available as a stream below. Holland's poetry takes on a creepy tone when put through Eno's arsenal of effects and filters. The end result sounds a lot like a Kraftwerk vocal line but the distant drum beat and pulsating synth line keeps the whole thing danceable.
Brian Eno – glitch (taken from Drums Between The Bells) by Warp Records
Back in 2008 and 2009, Eno went on a massive North American tour with David Byrne from Talking Heads in support of Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, a collaboration between the two. Just announced today, footage from the tour as well as a show in Vancouver is now being released as a concert film with artist interviews, backstage footage and rehearsal time. Brian Eno fans are smiling today.
Tracklist For Drums Between The Bells:
01. Bless This Space
02. Glitch
03. Dreambirds
04. Pour It Out
05. Seedpods
06. The Real
07. The Airman
08. Fierce Aisles Of Light
09. As If Your Eyes Were Prtly Closed As If You Honed The Swirl Within Them And Offered Me…The World
10. A Title
11. Sounds Alien
12. Dow
13. Multimedia
14. Cloud 4
15. Breath Of Crows

I have had a lot of interest in Education lately around our Exchange Online offering for faculty and staff. The trend in education is email is becoming a commodity and there is no need to manage that infrastructure on premises any longer. The other big driver to Exchange Online is reducing costs and operations management yet maintaining enterprise class email.
A question I get quite often is, what does the Mac experience connecting to Exchange Online look like?
The good news is there is a new Mac Single Sign On client available with our Microsoft Online Services (Exchange Online, OCS online, SharePoint Online) released in the October update.
Here is a peek below:
If you would like to use this with our Online Services (either trial or production) grab the Mac SSO bits here.
End user portal for Mac:
Entourage Exchange Web Services client
Snow Leopard's iMail can also connect to Exchange Online (Note: it is not current supported but it will work)
iCal works as well (Note: it is not currently supported but it will work)
For more information on how to configure Mac for Exchange Online visit here or here. Note: Snow Leopard's iMail and iCal are not officially supported with the Mac SSO client running against Exchange Online however they can be configured to work using the SSO server and configuration settings set within Entourage Web Services client.
For more on the Mac experience with Microsoft Online Services visit here.
For setting up a 30 day 25 user trial with Exchange Online or other Microsoft Online Services. Please visit here: http://www.microsoft.com/online
It would be really nice if the OCS story was better on the Mac side. Mac Messenger is very unreliable if left running, has some nasty usability issues and generally lacks the Enterprise Voice and Remote Call Control features we want to push out to Staff. Theres also no on-site option for a Live Meeting equivalent and Web Access also suffers on OSX.
The Mac is a second class citizen in almost every aspect to OCS. Linux... even worse.
Understood. The Mac OCS story should be much better in the future.

Northwest pole vaulter Desiree Freier aiming to topple more records, qualify for US Outdoor Championships
Justin Northwest superstar pole vaulter Desiree Freier set the national indoor and outdoor records earlier this year, but she's aiming even higher at this weekend's UIL state meet.
Freier's brother and coach, Devin Rodriguez, said she is aiming for a vault as high as 14-9 1/4, which would not only shatter all of her previous records, but also give her a qualifying mark for the U.S. Outdoor Championships this summer in Sacramento.
"That's where the pros jump," Rodriguez said, "and we're trying to get her to that level. That's a big deal if she can get there now, and she's only going to get bigger and stronger in college."
Freier, a 5-foot senior and Arkansas signee, broke the UIL state record last year with a vault of 13-9 on the way to a second-straight gold medal. She then set the national indoor and outdoor pole vaulting records this year with vaults of 14-2 3/4 and 14-3 1/4, respectively.
Freier has cleared 14 feet four times during this outdoor season, first at the Jesuit-Sheaner Relays in March. She did it again at the Texas Relays, where she set her national record, and continued to vault 14 feet at the district and regional meets.
If Freier can pull off a vault of 14-9 1/4 this weekend, it would set new state, national and American Junior records. The American Junior record is currently held by Natalie Willer with a vault of 14-4 1/2 in 2009.

Mt. Kilimanjaro: Exploring the Ngorongoro Crater
Posted by: Dave Hahn | September 25, 2013
If it weren't for the spectacular wildlife within the great Ngorongoro caldera, we'd spend the day fascinated by the geography anyway. We were up on the crater rim in dense cloud this morning, with just a hint of the vastness of the interior to this collapsed volcano. But as we traversed the rim, we were granted better views of the expanses within. Driving down in, we began to see "spots" and "dots" that gradually took shape as wildebeest, zebra and Cape buffalo. We spent the day driving from one side of the crater to another, stopping for lions, jackals, hippos, rhinoceros, and birds great and small. We began to see so many species that we seemed to stop taking notice of things like zebra and gazelle, which until yesterday had seemed exotic. We watched a pair of ostrich, out on a date. We saw seven lionesses conked out and sleeping within feet of the road. We saw old and solitary bull elephants, wandering amongst bull elephant skeletons. We saw warthogs and hyenas and herd after herd of wildebeest and zebra. We saw male lions, fat and happy to be lounging about in the sun while every other animal wandered around them in wide circles. After a picnic lunch near a lagoon full of hippos, we checked out a few more corners of the crater and then headed up the wall for our exit. On the rim, we visited a Masai village and learned how the tribe manages to hold onto traditions while preparing their children for the modern world. And then it was back to the luxurious Plantation Lodge for the evening. Tomorrow, Tarangire National Park.
Best Regards,
RMI Guide Dave Hahn
