Wood with polychrome; H. 22 in. (55.9 cm)
Gift of Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, 1942 (42.25.8)
This polychrome wooden sculpture can be identified as Kashyapa, the eldest of the two principle disciples of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni. The standing figure, his two raised hands clasped in front, wears a blue robe edged in red and a red outer robe with a green border. The figure's relaxed stance and well-articulated facial features convey an expression of benevolence and wisdom. Polychrome wooden statues of monks and attendant boys and girls represent a notable part of the sculptural tradition of the Joseon period.
According to the inscription placed with the votive offerings inside the image, the statue was made on the twenty-ninth day of the third month in 1700, together with a Buddha and other lohan figures, at a temple retreat on Mount Duryun in Yeong-am district, now part of Daeheung Temple in South Jeolla Province.

Winamp FhG AAC encoder with gapless fix, Updates from the 5.62 release

Steve from the AAC listening test topic found a bug related to gapless information in m4a files encoded with Winamp/FhG's new AAC encoder.
Updates from the 5.62 release
* Fixed a bug that was preventing gapless playback information from being written to the encoded file in some circumstances
* Fixed compatibility issue that was preventing HE-AAC files from being used with iTunes
* Fixed a bug that was causing the ADTS encoder to fail with the default settings
To install, just unzip this to your Winamp plugins folder. It should overwrite an existing file (unless you are using an older version of Winamp).
This will be released with 5.63 (or 5.621 depending on what version number we decide upon)

I'm not a good, trained listener like the guys here, but I think FhG encoder VBR preset 2 is very good, too.
I've had an impression that QuickTime tends to move spatial locations of the sound for lower bitrate setting (sound at slightly off from center is encoded into dead center). For this reason, QuickTime AAC is sometimes too easily ABX-able only by spatial information change, even for poor listener like me.
Though I didn't tried much, FhG seems not suffering from this kind of problem.

Two Masons Helping Masons See The Fruits of their Labors
Groundbreaking ceremony for the original Independent Living Community in Elizabethtown
Two Right Worshipful Past Grand Masters who led the Grand Lodge and our Masonic Villages through periods of great growth are now solidifying their commitment to the Mission of Love by becoming residents of one of the communities. Bro. Arthur and Jane Kurtz moved into a retirement living apartment at the Masonic Village at Elizabethtown on Dec. 7, 2005, and Bro. Marvin and Rosalie Cunningham are looking forward to being amongst the first cottage residents at the Masonic Village at Dallas.
In his inaugural issue of The Pennsylvania Freemason dated February 1988, Bro. Arthur J. Kurtz stated, "...of the anticipated highlights of my two years to come, I wish to acquaint you with the most fervent and personally desired project of my administration. It is the independent retirement community to be constructed on the grounds of the Masonic Homes at Elizabethtown."
Bro. Kurtz at the presentation of the Tree of Life
His vision soon became reality. On May 27, 1988, the Committee on Masonic Homes approved the master plans for the community, and at the June 1 Quarterly Communication, Grand Lodge approved construction for Phase 1 of the plans. A groundbreaking ceremony was held at the site on March 9, 1989, and construction began in June. On Sept. 22, the Datestone Ceremony was held in the Deike Auditorium and the first residents moved into their new homes in 1990. Since then, the Masonic Villages have served well over 1,400 retirement living residents in Elizabethtown, as well as hundreds more in Lafayette Hill, Sewickley and soon in Dallas.
In honor of their Past Master, members of Robert Burns Lodge No. 464 presented the Tree of Life sculpture to the Masonic Village. On display in the retirement living clubhouse lobby, the Tree of Life is a perpetual reminder of the man whose hard work and dedication allowed the community to grow and enhance the lives of so many. Carved from mahogany by sculptor Sanford Warfel, the Tree of Life permits a donor to make a contribution and add a leaf or base stone to the tree in honor or memory of someone or as an expression of gratitude. These funds are placed in an investment account and restricted for partial or fully subsidized payment for the monthly Resident's Service Fee for those retirement living residents whose funds have been depleted.
Also in 1988, the Committee on Masonic Homes adopted a new admissions policy that no longer required residents to turn over assets upon admission. Although these significant strides were made during his term, Bro. Kurtz doesn't claim them as his own; instead, he gives the credit to those who served the fraternity before and with him. Yet he is proud of what they accomplished together.
Lifelong Harrisburg residents, Bro. and Mrs. Kurtz relocated less than 30 miles to move into their two-bedroom apartment in Elizabethtown - in the same community that he endorsed 17 years ago. In addition to sharing the community with Brethren and ladies whom they already know, Bro. and Mrs. Kurtz also look forward to taking day trips and attending concerts and other forms of entertainment on campus. Healthcare security and the convenience of on-campus transportation, dining and maintenance-free living are also major perks.
"The Masonic Villages is an outstanding charitable organization. I think it's the finest medical facility in the entire country and it corresponds with our purpose for Freemasonry," Bro. Kurtz said. "It's a wonderful place to stay for the rest of my life."
Bro. Marvin A. Cunningham, Sr., also led the fraternity through great change during his administration in 2002-2003. He was instrumental in implementing the union of the Masonic Homes of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania (now the Masonic Villages) with the Masonic Home of Pennsylvania (now the Masonic Village at Lafayette Hill). This significant event was the culmination of more than 100 years of discussions among members across the state and strengthened the communities and their missions to provide quality services to our Family of Freemasonry. Also during his term, the Committee on Masonic Homes approved the development of a master plan for the Masonic Village at Elizabethtown and constructed the master plan for the Masonic Village at Sewickley, which consisted of retirement living apartments and cottages.
Bro. Cunningham performing the Datestone Ceremony for the Star Points Building at the Masonic Village at Sewickley
While discussions with the Irem Shrine did not begin until after his term as Grand Master, Bro. Cunningham was excited to hear of the opportunity for the Masonic Village at Dallas. "I have watched the quality of the cottages and the apartments since we started building at Elizabethtown, and I think it's wonderful that the Mission of the Masonic Villages is extending to this locale. It also provides good relations with our members at the Shrine," he said.
Even so, when they first heard the good news, the Cunninghams thought it would be a great place for them to live - sometime in the future. "Originally we decided to wait a few more years, but upon discovering how popular it was becoming, we thought we'd better get our names on the list or we might have to wait longer than we wanted to," Bro. Cunningham said. Now he and Rosalie agree that the timing will be just right - their cottage should be done just before the holidays. They will downsize from two homes to one, leaving their maintenance woes behind them. While they will miss their church family in Collegeville and the beautiful scenery of the Poconos, they anticipate finding a new place to nourish their souls amidst the beautiful mountainous landscape surrounding the Masonic Village at Dallas.
Bro. Cunningham shakes hands with Bro. Morton Lader, then- Chairman of the Masonic Home of PA, (now the Masonic Village at Lafayette Hill). Bro. Joseph E. Murphy, CEO of the Masonic Villages, and Adrienne Staudenmayer, Executive Director of the Lafayette Hill community, show their support.
Outdoor enthusiasts, the Cunninghams enjoy walking and riding their bikes, something they will be able to do at nearby College Misericordia, which can be seen from the Irem Shrine Clubhouse. Harvey's Lake, the largest natural lake in the Commonwealth, is just three miles from the Masonic Village. Instead of going away for enjoyment, they will travel just a few miles from their new home!
The Cunninghams have chosen a two-bedroom, 1½ bath cottage, and are particularly impressed with the excellent quality and low-maintenance designs of the cottage interiors. They plan to do a lot of reading, especially since Bro. Cunningham is now officially retired... although he still plans to stay busy with Masonic activities and, of course, the golf course in his backyard. Rosalie plans to get involved with a local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, which sparks her interest in patriotism and quilting.
They also anticipate getting to know their new neighbors. "I think it affords more of a social atmosphere with people in a small community," Rosalie said. "It will truly be like a little village." Bro. Cunningham sums it up like this: "We felt it was a good fit for us for future quality living. I think it will be a life of excellence. It seems like it's meant to be - a good marriage between the Masonic Villages and the Shriners at the Irem Temple."
Two Brethren -- both Masons Helping Masons - have taken the necessary steps to plan for their future. If you would like more information on how you, too, can become part of the Masonic Villages family, contact the community of your choice.

I invisioned this post to be the start of something like the Fab and over Fifty posts, but in this case it is not so fab and over sixty.
I have been retired for almost two years now and am still finding my way in what to sew for my current lifestyle.
This winter I have been wearing jeans, turtlenecks and sweaters.
Last summer I wore capris, shorts and tank tops or T-shirts.
My husband isn't retired yet so we don't do a lot of traveling or anything like that. Going out to dinner is about it and in our area people do not dress up to go out to eat.
To say I am bored to tears with my wardrobe would be an understatement .
This is where I am at in my thinking about a retirement wardrobe.
I am now the proud owner of a TNT pant pattern so the plan is to start pulling out all the twills I have been collecting and start making pants so I will have something other than jeans.
I don't have a TNT t-shirt pattern but usually can find t-shirts and have not had much luck finding nice knits so don't think this is a placed to put my sewing time.
Then there is the elusive linen jacket pattern. I would like to find a pattern w/o a lot of construction details and comfortable to wear althought where I would wear this jacket is a mystery. The desire to make a linen jacket is probably left over from my working life.
Not sure about skirts? I just finished a demin skirt with a elastic wasit. It would be better in a lighter weight demin.
And last but not least is a dress pattern. I am not holding out a lot of hope for this category but I am going to start buying patterns when they go on sale for 99 cents and at least make up some muslins. Who knows I might get a big surprise and find a dress that looks good on my short tree trunk shape body?
So what are the rest of you ladies sewing for yourselves at this stage of our lives?
What a great idea for a thread! I'm not retired yet, but hope to do so within the next year. I also seem to live in jeans, which I wear to work also. My wardrobe currently seems to consist of jeans, flannel pants, and a pair of bagged out sweats. I've gained some weight recently and that's all that seems to fit. I'm currently trying to plan a wardrobe that's a little more elegant and put together that will work now and when I retire. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in jeans and flannels! First step is to figure out what I'll be doing, but I even wore jeans to the last movie I went to. I hope someone has good ideas or a great wardrobe going for them.

Everyone who sews seriously has a stockpile of fabrics, because it is natural to purchase more than can be sewn in any one season" Singer, Timesaving Sewing, 1987
I'm over 60 and retired and recently started sewing because I couldn't find decent fitting tops or jeans anymore. I've been living mainly in LLBean and Landsend tees, knit pants and elastic waist shorts and others I can order online. While I like them (they ARE comfortable and it suits my lifestyle) I've reached the point where I'm sick of spending money on ill-fitting anything. I've been stashing all types of fabric and, like Ada, hope to make some nice things from linen and rayon for myself, besides my beloved cottons. I'd love to make some long cotton and rayon skirts for summer wear - I only have one skirt that fits me and no dresses or suits at all. My lifestyle only requires nice clothing on rare occasions, so I have really fallen into a awful slump. I also think that since I gained quite a bit of weight over the last 15 or so yrs., I have really turned away from any type of fashion and just wanted to hide under my baggy clothing - almost like punishment. I'm still struggling with the mental part of that. I'm hoping that sewing my own clothing will allow me to have both the fit and type of clothing I like and maybe that will spark my interest in a little bit of style again. I made my first top last week that was decent enough to wear out to dinner with family (and divulge that I made it) and it felt really good! I'm glad you started this thread.
Been there! Done that! Still working my way out of it. Being retired and living in an environment which does not call for "business" clothes leads to jeans and t's and sweats.
After a few years if that I decided I needed to clean up for myself even if no one else did. So I bought some twill pants from LL Bean and some attractive tops from Coldwater Creek to get me started. I also resolved not to wear jeans off the property unless the errand involved required them.
Last Fall I conquered a tnt pants pattern and made it in twill and in some of my gorgeous left over wools. I have also been making knit tops (I agree it's hard to find attractive knits). I highly recommmend both Jalie 2910, the crossover top, and Jalie 2921, the tie top. I am currently working on a wool jacket, Simplicity 2810, which I selected because I could make it somewhat less formal than a work blazer.
I wear these new outfits to church, sewing classes, meetings, errands, etc. and find I am feeling so much better about myself.
Hopefully others will have suggestions of types of things to wear. I'd like to know, for example, what one does in summer when skirts would be comfortable, but the legs should probably not be one display.

I am 52 and retired. Forced retirement. I was diagnosed with Lupus and thus had to sell my company. I am unable to work so I now have way to much time on my hands.
When I had my company I was beautifully dressed everyday. Now when I am at home many days I find myself at noon still in my two piece pj's.
I decided to start sewing again when I started to see just how much my prednisone changes my body. It's been so hard on my self esteem with the the continuous changes in my size.
My plan for what to sew is to sew pieces that I love. Great jackets, skirts, blouses, golf tees, shorts & dresses.......I have found that if I make a garment I am more likely to wear it.
We have long cold winters but I am looking forward to all that spring offers....the promise of what is to come.....summer :)

A while ago, there was a discussion a little like this, started by a woman who had tons of useful clothing, not at all worn out, and therefore had no 'need' to sew anything else. The trouble was that she truly wanted to sew, but she couldn't see a reason to make new garments.
I think that if we get to this point, it's time to stretch the envelope a bit and make things that are a tad unusual and frankly beautiful--and then wear them for everyday. Take, for example, the Kayla Kennington Angel Top.
It's different but not outrageous, loose enough to flatter many figures while not being as big as a tent, and the techniques and variations suggested are lovely!
Why not sew really fine things we would love to have, but would--oh heavens--never have made for ourselves when we were still working? -- Edited on 3/5/11 4:07 AM --
The current edition of the mag Citizen K http://www.citizen-k.com/
features an older model or two. The link doesn't have the picture of the lady who appears with both gray hair and dyed red hair, but (hope I'm not maligning her here) she has a lot of the same age related features as me, and I'm past retiring age. They have her in several outfits most of which are a bit far out for me, but it was useful to be able to think about what styles look like on someone over twenty for a change.
Conclusion from this - if the garments would suit your body type if you were under 40, then they're probably still going to look ok when you're over 60, never mind the grey and the wrinkles. The caveat would be what you reveal, hemlines, d�colletage, upper arms, all the bits that don't look great any more.
I am also retired, and finding myself totally bored I just recently returned to the sewing world. Not that I needed clothes, but I figured I could sew for my grandkids etc. However I did take the plunge and started to eat a bit more healthy to shed some of this excess weight. Well I have lost almost 40lbs, I have a long way to go, but I will need all new clothing!!! Already many of my tops are falling off my shoulders, and my pants well that is another story all together.
But I like to look nice when I do go places, even if it is to the grocery store, or the fabric store. So I tend to wear nice jeans, and a nice top, when going those places. I have yet to find a good pants pattern, and I do have a rather plump belly, so my stretch jeans work well for that, except they are all very big now!! And they do look nice, when they fit. So I have started to make tops for now, just a few at a time, because I will be losing more weight, and will need new ones for quite sometime. I want to make a few jackets, since where I live seldom gets "cold" enough for a coat, but it does get chilly enough that a couple of nice jackets would work.
Luckily through this site I have found some fantastic places to go to find different and unusual patterns, even for the larger sized woman! I like different, unusual things !
Stacey & Clinton from What Not To Wear have not made over a lot of older ladies, but they emphasize NOT to hide in baggy clothes as you gain weight, it just makes you look baggier! The makeovers usually feature a cute jacket (curved to make a waist), a colorful flowy top, and straight-leg pants or A-line type skirt.
My professional neighbor is over 6' and 200#, a voluptuous figure, but she always looks stylish in such outfits that FIT. She uses solids for the bottom and jacket and adds color with the top. Because of her heighth, she has some things made for her and finds inspiration in the Women's pattern book photos, takes pix of RTW in places like Fashion Bug, and copies catalog styles. Of course at home, she favors fitted running jackets/pants for the winter.
Interesting how my mom and grandma never owned a T or jeans! Of course, they wore housedresses til their 60's when poly came in! -- Edited on 3/5/11 9:35 AM --
We met our son's girlfriend's mom last summer. She's 66 and she was stunning!
She paired cute capris and flats with sharp looking blouses. Every time I've seen her since, she is always dressed nicely. Her daughter told me Black and White Market is her favorite store.
What impressed me the most is that she isn't overly done. She has a flattering short hairstyle but it never looks "fixed". She doesn't wear a ton of makeup. It just looks like she took the time to find some pieces that went well together along with a little jewelry, cute shoes and a great handbag.
I wish she lived closer. I'd love to follow her around shopping!
ETA a link
White House Black Market and the comment that I couldn't find anything there that looked like what she wore the times we met. Her look was more casual - Bermuda shorts, flats, etc. -- Edited on 3/5/11 10:50 AM --

Amateur-Built Safety
The NTSB wants more done to improve amateur-built aircraft safety
The Velocity RG is a four-seat, composite, single-engine aircraft in a canard configuration. On September 25, 2011, one of them was substantially damaged when it crashed after taking off from Sanford-Lee County Airport (TTA), Sanford, N.C. The private pilot was killed. Visual meteorological conditions existed.
At the time of the accident, a flight instructor and student pilot were doing touch-and-goes at TTA. While on downwind, the instructor heard the accident pilot announce he was taxiing to the runway, and soon after, heard the accident pilot announce the takeoff roll. The student reported that the accident airplane did not rotate for takeoff until it reached the 2,000-foot marker on the runway. He thought this was unusual, as his single-engine Cessna was normally off the ground in half that distance.
While on base, the student noticed the accident airplane at a very low altitude, in a continuous descending left turn. He said the airplane then disappeared from view, and a fireball appeared from the woods. The instructor contacted air traffic control on an emergency frequency and advised them of the accident and its location.
FAA records showed that the airplane's airworthiness certificate was issued in 1996. According to airplane and maintenance records, the airplane had accrued 143.8 total aircraft hours as of May 2011. The most recent annual inspection was completed March 1, 2008, at 131.8 total aircraft hours.
Over the approximate 15-year maintenance history of the airplane, the engine was disassembled three times, but none of the work qualified as an overhaul. The manufacturer recommended that engines that haven't reached the recommended limit for operational hours be overhauled in the 12th year.
According to fueling records at TTA, the airplane was last fueled on March 21, 2010, with 43 gallons of 100LL aviation gasoline. The airport manager stated that he was "reasonably certain" that the airplane had not flown since that date. In an interview, the airport manager said that the pilot/owner would come out to the airport, tinker with the airplane, start the engine, and taxi the airplane, but that the airplane had not flown "for years." According to the airport manager, the pilot/owner had mentioned on more than one occasion that he was trying to "get his medical back." However, the review of his records revealed that the pilot's medical certificate was still valid at the time of the accident.
In May 2011, the pilot/owner asked the aircraft maintenance facility at TTA to draft a list of discrepancies on the airplane that required correction in order to return the airplane to an airworthy condition for possible sale. Among the discrepancies was a frozen turbocharger waste gate. Investigators determined that the waste gate was stuck at approximately two-thirds of its travel. They could not determine how much of a loss of horsepower would be produced at the position in which it was found.
The NTSB determined that the probable cause of this accident was the pilot's intentional flight with known mechanical deficiencies, which resulted in a partial loss of engine power and subsequent collision with trees and terrain shortly after takeoff. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's lack of recent experience.

Alternate title: House of Settlement
This odd, sometimes whimsical, ultimately violent Damon Runyon-esque story casts Glenn Ford as Joe Miracle, a professional gambler and World War II veteran with several axes to grind against the world. Cheated out of his share of a successful casino operation that he started with his brother -- who was murdered in the bargain -- he pulls off a robbery to get back what he considers his property, $100,000 cash. On the run from the gang he robbed, Joe takes refuge in a settlement house, where he crosses paths with social worker Jenny Jones (Evelyn Keyes). He does really understand her generosity of spirit, or what motivates the others who rely on the settlement house for their food, lodging, and care, but he goes along with it as a dodge to avoid the criminals and police, all of whom are after him. He still cheats the teenage boys who try to gamble with him, and looks for angles that he can work to his advantage, but soon Jenny and her work start getting through to him -- enough so that he wants out, but with her. When he finds out that she's almost willing to compromise her principles for him, Joe realizes that this is getting more serious than he wants it to be. And when ambitious columnist John Ireland gets in the way of his play, Joe suddenly finds himself up to his neck in danger, and the settlement house ablaze. His plans thwarted and his life still in danger, Joe plans on settling out a lot of scores before he leaves this world -- but will his best or his worst side be calling the play? ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

This case raises the question of whether federal antitrust laws apply to state and local governments engaged in business practices. Here the defendant operates under a grant of general corporate power from a Georgia state hospital authority. The Federal Trade Commission asserts that the defendant violated antitrust laws, but the defendant argues that those laws cannot apply to it because it is a quasi-governmental entity.
Generally quasi-governmental entities, like the defendant in this case, are deemed exempt from antitrust laws under the "state action immunity doctrine," so long as it is clear that they are operating in the furtherance of a state policy, and under active supervision from the state. But, we argue that there can be no "state action immunity" in cases like this, when the quasi-governmental defendant is unquestionably competing with other businesses in the market. Small businesses are put at a competitive disadvantage when taxpayer-funded government actors or quasi-governmental entities directly compete with private businesses. NFIB believes that the state action immunity doctrine only applies if the defendant acts to advance legitimate regulatory policy, as opposed to some policy or program designed solely to benefit a public enterprise.

Do you want to write for Ink 19?
directed by Bill Plympton
Bill Plympton Studios
Animation intended for adults tends toward the erotic and drug infested, leaving the squeaky-clean kids' fare of Madagascar or Toy Story to dominate the industry. But off in an ink-stained atelier works Bill Plympton, he's drawn a dreamy romance inked in a combination of soft pencil and colored washes to realize his mannerist story of Jake and Ella. She's permanently shaded by an oversized hat with Isadora Duncan ribbons floating behind; he's a brutish man with abs from hell, no waist, and a lunchbox job pumping gas in the middle of nowhere. They meet at a fair, and soon they are aimed at a world record for afternoon sex. All is lovey dovey until The Other Woman appears; she, too wants Jake's Neanderthal member and stoops to subterfuge to get it. It's like an alcoholic binge for Jake; he's boffing every woman Mr. Plympton has ever met, seen, or fantasized.
At the Florida Film Fest showing, Plympton spoke passionately for a return to animation aimed at adult audiences. Whether that is material with overt sexuality or unhappy endings or just a lack of marketable plush toy images, I agree. I've enjoyed a few of the big budget Pixar films over the past few years, and been insulted by many, and find today's animation both technically excellent and vacuous. But the material here is accessible, emotionally raw and a topic something that orbits any but the most stable relationships. Amazingly, this was drawn frame by frame by Plympton; he claims 40,000 sketches went into this film. I applaud his efforts, both for pulling together this complex piece of art, and by having the faith that intelligent people would see it appreciated and get their friends to join us. And like all Plympton films, there's an angry dog. You have to love his angry dogs.
This film is part of the 2014 Florida Film Festival running April 4 to 14 in Orlando Fl. Details, screening locations and times may be found at www.floridafilmfestival.com

<< Master of Science in Management Studies Home
Affording students an opportunity to explore a topic in depth, the thesis is a key component of the MSMS program. A thesis integrates previous career experiences and academic knowledge to present independent scholarly insights to the MIT Sloan community and the field of management at large.
Beyond fulfilling the degree requirement, a thesis can have a profound effect on career development and real world productivity. Many students find that the thesis experience forces them to push beyond what they think they are capable of doing to grow both personally and professionally. During the researching and writing processes students learn more about a field, company or industry and broaden their network of contacts though research, interviews, or surveys. Sloan students may be offered exciting career opportunities based in part on the quality or content of their theses. Sponsored students have used their theses to make meaningful contributions to their organizations while continuing their education. Self-sponsored students have written theses that are sold to companies or used to start companies of their own.
Administrative Note: The Massachusetts Institute of Technology requires a thesis to grant a Master of Science (M.S.) degree. As all graduates of the MSMS program receive a M.S. it is an institutional requirement for successful completion of the program.
In selecting topics students draw upon:
Note: Applicants are asked to write an admissions essay about a potential thesis topic during their time at MIT Sloan. Though accepted students may make adjustments to the subject before submitting the official Thesis Proposal in late November, it is generally expected that themes from the essay should reflect the proposed project.
The MSMS program does not assign faculty advisors. Individual students have the freedom to develop a topic and find an advisor on their own, but with support from the MSMS Program Office. Considerations for selecting advisors often include:

Why you need to be inbox cleverComment on this story
Cape Town - E-mail threads can be very problematic in the corporate world, especially if someone in the chain forwards an internal e-mail to an outsider, without taking the trouble to remove the thread of accompanying inhouse "chat".
I've been guilty of it a couple of times, mortifyingly so, which prompted periods of obsessive pre-send e-mail checking.
Every now and then corporate e-mail housekeeping lapses provide me with unintended insight into what companies think of me.
Last week I sent an e-mail to a major financial services company, querying the alleged non-payment of money due to a client.
The e-mail was forwarded from my contact to the company's "risk officer" who forwarded it to two other colleagues, after adding: "You may have the pleasure of dealing with this media query. Wendy Knowler is BIG problem."
Unfortunately for her, one of those colleagues responded to me, having neglected to remove her e-mail below the new one.
Oops. There followed a BIG silence. - Cape Times

We've come to the official conclusion that Taylor Swift is no longer merely conducting a music career, and instead is strategically collecting celebrity besties per Pokémon's "gotta catch 'em all" mentality. To wit, Lorde, Hailee Steinfeld, Cara Delevingne, Selena Gomez, Dianna Agron, Ed Sheeran, Sarah Hyland, Lily Aldridge, Prince William (yes, really)—and, most recently, Karlie Kloss have all been privy to Taylor's BFF assemblage.
Today, a number of Instagram photos surfaced of Taylor and Karlie on a road trip in northern California, and now our FOMO is full-blown and undeniable. From sharing the catwalk at this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show to a car through the beaches and forests of Big Sur, California, this is one best-friendship that is moving quite quickly. And we can't help but wonder: Who is catsitting Meredith while Taylor's off gallivanting across the shore?

Douglas Luke
BIG RAPIDS, MICH. — A Grand Rapids teacher is on paid leave, charged in connection with a deadly accident in Mecosta County.
Douglas Luke, 52, is charged with driving with a suspended license causing death.
Authorities say Luke was driving on U.S. 131 near Jefferson Road on October 14 when he veered off the highway. A passenger, Liisa Rush, 49, died in the crash.
Rush, a Grand Rapids resident, entered her work in ArtPrize in 2011 and 2013.

School officials tell WZZM 13 News Luke is a special education teacher at Ottawa Hills High School. They say he's been on paid leave since the accident happened.
This isn't Luke's first legal issue. In 2011, he jumped into the Grand River after running from an accident scene. He had been drinking and driving at the time.
Luke fought off firefighters as they tried to pull him from the river. He eventually plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges
