July is National Ice Cream Month. Let's all celebrate with a bowl of this Lemon Oreo Strawberry Swirl Ice Cream. Swirls of cookie chunks and strawberry preserves give this ice cream such a pretty color and taste.
This summer has been different than most.
It hasn't been hot and steamy like most midwest summers. Oh, believe me, I'm not complaining. But 70 degree days and sleeping with our windows open at night is just plain strange for July. Two nights in a row now it has been cool enough that we have turned off the air and opened the windows. Gotta love that! Our electric bill is going to be nice to us this month.
Of course just because it is cooler this summer doesn't mean we haven't been downing the ice cream. Summer does equal ice cream all the time after all. Our freezer has been staying stocked with cookies and cream, vanilla, coffee, and my daughter's favorite homemade Oreo Fudge Cappuccino Ice Cream. Fudge, coffee, and cookies all swirled together…yeah, she's definitely my kid 🙂
Even though ice cream is so easy to buy, I like creating fun flavors in my kitchen every once in a while.
Did you know you can make ice cream without an ice cream machine? It's actually quite easy. Whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk is all you need for the base. That's right. Two ingredients and you can have a creamy homemade ice cream.
Of course mine never stays just 2 ingredients because I like to have fun with things I find in my cupboard. Yes, my cupboards look like a mini mart.
I was excited when OXO asked me to use a few of their products to make ice cream for the #IceCreamForOXO campaign. The little mini measuring beakers are my absolute favorite. They are soooo cute!
And the angled measuring cup is awesome. No more trying to guess from the side if you have enough liquid. This measuring cup lets you read your measurements from the top. It's a new favorite too.
So I did what anyone would do and pulled a few things out to jazz up some homemade ice cream. I mean we have to celebrate these fun food holidays. And since July is dedicated to being ice cream month that means a whole month of ice cream celebrating. That sounds like some fun.
Just don't tell my pants that we are going to celebrate all month. I have a feeling they won't like me much after this.
So, let's make some ice cream.
Start by putting your metal mixing bowl and whisk beater in the freezer for about 30 minutes before you start. This will get the bowl nice and cold so the heavy cream will whip up faster. Set that aside.
I have started adding a package of cream cheese to my sweetened condensed milk. It gives the ice cream a little bit more of a creamier texture. So whip together the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until creamy. Then stir in the lemon juice. Adding the lemon juice will give the ice cream a slightly icier texture. Just let the ice cream sit out for a few minutes to soften up before you start scooping.
Now fold the fluffy whipped cream into the creamed mixture. At this point you can freeze the mixture and have a delicious ice cream. But…let's add some more fun. Chunks of lemon Oreo cookies and swirls of strawberry preserves kind of fun. Stir the cookies into the ice cream gently. It's ok if the cream filling comes out of the cookies as you stir. This just adds more color to the swirls when you scoop it out.
Spoon about a third of the mixture into a bowl. Swirl a few small spoonfuls of preserves into it. A little goes a long way so do not over due it on the spoonfuls. Repeat this two more times ending with fun red swirls on top. Be careful as you do each swirl. Do not let your knife go down all the way to the layer under it. Too much swirling and it will become strawberry ice cream. Swirl gently so it stays lemon ice cream with strawberry swirls. Got it?
Now for the hardest part of the entire recipe. Put the bowl in the freezer and walk away for hours. I know. That's a hard thing to do when you want ice cream right now. I suggest making this right before going to bed. That way visions of strawberry lemon swirls will float through your head as you sleep. Plus, waking up to ready to go ice cream is so sweet. Literally.
What are you waiting for? Let's celebrate the rest of the month with ice cream every day. I'm game if you are 🙂

I thought I'd never see the end of this one! Took me forever!! But, you know what? After weeks and weeks that were spent studying linguistics and whatsoever for my orals, drawing and colouring for hours is a pure delight!
Because I always have a hard time when colouring armours and blades, I used some 'Saint Seyia' screenshots to help me. The whole thing is coloured with Gimp.
Oh, and while I did this, I listened to the original soundtrack of the animated movie Secret of Kells, composed by Bruno Coulais, and it is absolutely awesome!!!
I watched the secret of kells movie a couple months ago, and I loved it
Nice, but I'm thinking of the HIGHLANDER.
OMG! Hiccup VS Darth Maul!
Yeah...And the best part of it is I didn't notice the Star Wars reference until someone mentionned it.
Blue blade vs. red blade in a battle for good and evil. And a guy with facial tattoos.
Do I spy with my little eye,.... A Star Wars refrence
THIS.IS.SP- wait...nvm, wrong movie
Who's the guy on the receiving end?
Interesting take, it's fun to see style crossovers like this one.

Ooh, Hiccup looks amazing. He must be pissed. ;A;
I want to know the story behind this! xD
I want to know the story behind this! xD
cool pic, hiccup suddenly got badass. lol. almost looks like a screenshot from a cartoon series.
Get him Hiccup! Whatever he did to Astrid and Toothless make him PAY for it!!!!
Very neat! I like the idea of Hiccup snapping, it's so drastically different from his normal, sweet-ass derpy self. Neat stuff. :3
Thanks Yeah, I happen to think that while he's usually very calm and very sweet, once he does get angry, one wouldn't want to stand in his way...Especially if Astrid trained him!
Woah... this is something I'm beginning to be interested in. Nice.

Pakistani actress Veena Malik, who has teamed up with her ex-flame Ashmit Patel in "Supermodel", shot some steamy scenes for the movie with him despite the fact that the duo are not on talking terms.
"When I narrated the lip-lock scene to Veena, she refused to do it. I had to convince her a lot for that scene. There are around three to four lip-lock scenes between Veena and Ashmit in the film," the film's director Navin Batra told IANS.
"Both the actors were not on talking terms when they shot for the intimate scene, but they shot for the scene. But after a point they were not comfortable, so I had to cut a few scenes," he added.
The director purposely cast the controversial couple.
He said: "Veena suited the role and they are the most controversial and best selling couple. Yes, it was difficult to convince both of them, but despite not being on talking terms, they accepted the role and took it professionally."
While Veena plays a supermodel in the film, Ashmit will be seen as a photographer in the film slated for Sep 27 release.

This biconical antenna operates in the 1 GHz to 6 GHz frequency range and features a dipole-like radiation pattern, the ability to be used as a transmitting or receiving antenna, and a three year warranty. This antenna is ideal for use as a transmit source antenna for site validations above 1 GHz for radiated emissions test site like OATS (open area test sites), anechoic, and semi-anechoic chambers.
For many years most standards called for the use of a half-wave dipole antenna set for frequencies above 80 MHz. However, to reduce test time, broadband antennas such as the biconical antenna and log periodic antennas began to be accepted.
The SAS-547 Biconical Antenna operates in the 1 GHz to 18 GHz frequency range, and is ideal for broadband field monitoring applications.

Seafarers are human too
The IMO's Day of the Seafarer 2013 campaign will reflect the human face of seafarers.
ICMA members have begun to participate by sending us photographs of seafarers plying their trade. This photo is from Florin Garbea, Director of ICMA member LIFE International Ministries in Constantza, Rumania. Florin himself visits ships and runs the local seafarers' centre. LIFE International will host this year's ICMA Annual General Meeting in Bucharest.
This smiling seafarer affirms the positive attitude of seafarers who work to keep ships moving. Seafarers are professionals. Seafarers are happy at doing their jobs. Seafarers are a vital workforce. Seafarers are real human beings.
Florin wrote:
Those pictures were taken in Constantza port this year, 2013, and remind us of the sacrifices that the seafarers make for all of us. May God bless all seafarers around the world, their families and all the seafarers' centres dedicated to the benefit of those who work on board.

International Day of the Seafarer 2011 honoured in Polish style
The maritime world united to celebrate the International Day of the Seafarer, 25 June, in the Polish port of Gdynia. Representatives of the Maritime Board, the Maritime University, port authorities, trade unions, and seafarers and their families joined ICMA member AOS in honouring the contribution of seafarers and remembering their sacrifices.
Events began with Holy Mass in the Maritime Church. Fr Edward Pracz, who runs the Stella Maris centre in Gdynia, tells us, "during the Mass we prayed for those who work at the Sea and for all the people connected to the maritime trade". Continue reading Celebrating seafarers in Gdynia
Day of the Seafarer takes shape
ICMA is part of an IMO initiative to celebrate an annual Day of the Seafarer on June 25th.
This year will see the first of these days. The plan is to celebrate the day internationally at as many seafarers centres and in as many ports as possible. ICMA members run almost 500 seafarers' centres. ICMA has observer status at the IMO.
The primary objective of the Day of the Seafarer is to highlight the hidden contribution that seafarers make to the world supply chain and the global economy. The idea is to spread this message to as wide an audience as possible. In addition we intend to convey our appreciation to all seafarers for their tremendous contribution in our day to day lives and to show that we really do care for seafarers.

Day of the Seafarer, 25 June 2011
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) plans to celebrate the "Day of the Seafarer" on 25 June 2011. It is set to become an annual event. As a non-governmental organisation member of IMO, ICMA participates in IMO deliberations and activities.
ICMA Chairman, Douglas B. Stevenson, has written to the members of ICMA:
Naturally, ICMA was elated when the IMO designated 2010 as the "Year of the Seafarer" and later designated 25 June to be celebrated every year as the "Day of the Seafarer." I encourage your society to support the IMO sponsored events and participate in them to the fullest extent your society is able.
Stevenson urged ICMA members to consider more ways in which to celebrate the "Day of the Seafarer". READ MORE: Continue reading Day of the Seafarer, 25 June 2011

Pokes working to avoid final-quarter letdowns
OSU fourth quarters: Got to have a big finish
Six Oklahoma State football games were still undecided after three quarters last season. OSU lost four of those six games. That's why inside the Cowboy camp, the theme is not "DE-FENSE!" The rallying cry is "Finish." "Finish, finish, finish," said associate head coach Joe DeForest. "Just finish games." The Cowboys didn't do that last year. Truth is, they gave away two games that should have been victories. OSU dominated Texas A&M much of the game, led 20-10 after three quarters and lost 24-23. The Cowboys jumped on Texas 35-14 but lost the fourth quarter 24-0 and the game 38-35. That was the difference between a 7-6 season and a 9-4 season. The difference between playing Indiana in the Insight Bowl or probably Arizona State in the Holiday Bowl. "We didn't play as well as we needed in the fourth quarter," said offensive line coach Doug Meachem. "Focus on competing and finishing. The last two years, we came right to the edge. Two games, one play in each game, we can win." Most memorable was the third-and-inches failure deep in A&M territory that could have blown open that game. A missed chip-shot field goal could have secured victory against Texas. "Finish Texas, finish Texas A&M," DeForest said. "Just finish games, then we're playing for the South championship against OU. We gotta learn how to finish. Our kids recognize that." The Cowboys weren't all bad in fourth quarters. They staged dramatic rallies to beat Kansas State 41-39 and Texas Tech 49-45. But when it mattered most, the Cowboys withered team-wide. Texas gained 311 total yards in the fourth quarter against OSU, but the Cowboy offense managed just three first downs in the final 15 minutes even though it had four possessions. Starting with Washington State this Saturday, OSU's fourth quarters must improve.
Oklahoma State dominated Texas A&M, leading 20-10 after three quarters only to lose 24-23. Finishing games is high on the Cowboys' priority list this season. BY STEVE GOOCH, THE OKLAHOMAN ARCHIVE

It's unlikely I'll be able to do this. I've got a Film Forum due, a Miami Vice review due, a full week of full-time-day-job work, eight new film reviews for Risen Magazine, and 20-page fiction submissions from 16 different people that I have to critique... all by Friday.
On top of that, we're leaving Friday morning for Santa Fe, for the Glen Workshop, where we will be immersed in activity.
Today I'm in Portland visiting my father, who's been housebound due to surgeries for several months.
Tomorrow we're devoting the day to helping our closest Seattle friends whose baby just arrived ten weeks early.
So... does that qualify as an excuse?
Jeffrey, send me your invitation and I'll vote for you. Come November, I'll be willing to cast absentee ballots for anyone who doesn't have the time. (for legal protection, let me point out that I'm kidding, I don't support ballotbox stuffing -- even if I do vote more correctly than most people.)

I don't support ballotbox stuffing either -- even if I do vote more times than most people...
(...as a segue back to our regularly scheduled topic, I'm proud of myself for actually finishing the voting already - although it was much easier for me since I hadn't seen so many of the nominees!)
Posted 23 Jul 2006
Well, I don't have an excuse (at least not a good one), other than that when I think about doing this, I get really, really tired and even a little depressed.
There are a lot of reasons that go in to that. Some we've talked about before in other threads about ratings and rankings and me. Others I may not have fully articulated.
I could pick one of the conglomerate of factors going into that emotion and run with it, trumpeting it as the reason I'm being anti-social while not wanting to be and coming across as coy when I'm not.
I'm also confident that I could construct a fairly inassailable list of things going on in my life that would allow me to not participate while saving face (though I don't mean to imply that is what Jeffrey is doing), and while it would be accurate it wouldn't be totally honest.
I'm deeply ambivalent about the list itself and the process, and my own participation (or not) feels to me like the one presidential primary I voted in after both Bush and Gore had already accumulated enough delegates to ensure the nomination.
I scroll through the comments here and I hear person after person saying, "Wow, I haven't seen so many of these films" and then I wonder, "Why does my vote matter?"
Recently, in a private message I happened to tell a friend (okay, it was Doug), that I didn't consider myself a "cinephile." He pressed me a bit on what I meant, suggesting I had "bona-fides" that I shouldn't dismiss so readily. I said I just meant that I don't feel the same sort of protectiveness over any of the "art" films in a list like this from the encroachment of popular culture nor, honestly over the commercial films from the arthouse snobs.
There's nothing on the list that's likely to get supplanted based on my vote (or the time and energy to stump for something to replace it), nor is there anything not on the list that I think likely to make it based on my understanding of the process and how and why people vote. My underwhelmedness at Magnolia is well known to the point of being schtick. My disappointment that more people don't consider the Godfather a spiritual film is "been there, done that." My belief that LOTR are three mediocre movies that are not masterpieces but shadows of masterpieces reflected on the wall of Plato's cave has probably never (and maybe shouldn't) shaken the faith of a single Peter Jackson disciple. I almost think more people are argued into (or out of) the kingdom of heaven than are argued into or out of their love of a particular movie. It's good that the definition of "spiritual" is left open, but one result of that is that it is nigh impossible to make a really persuasive argument for or against anything since those who disagree can always just say, "well, we have different ideas/definitions of spiritual."
I wish the list weren't so stocked with oppressively "heavy" films and that the shadow of death weren't the only thing in this day and age that could lend spiritual gravitas to a work of art. I wish there were more films about living as well as about dying. I wish there were a few films on the list that prompted joy and celebration in me rather than just weeping or seriousness. (I think Babette's Feast is probably the only one: Chariot's of Fire might have come close if it were a better movie and didn't have a stick up its a--.) I wish there were a few recogninzable comedies.
I know, I know, so why not vote for all these things? Why not be the man who planted trees and try to green the landscape rather than just lament my inability to change its face overnight? I feel this weird resentment when I look at my ballot. Not at Alan nor the list, just at this feeling as though I have to have a good reason for not doing something rather than for doing it or explain something that seems so patently obvious to me that I'm not sure how to begin to talk about it with someone who doesn't get it. It's analogous (though not as strong) as that feeling I get when a relative stranger walks up to me and says, "Why don't you and your wife have kids?" or "I could never be friends with a gay person."
I'm sure this all sounds very melodramatic and self-serving, and I really don't mean it to be. And I definitely don't mean it to be (to plagiarize/steal an expression from a bud) the Coquettish Dance of the of Coy Guy who Wants to be Wooed with Lots of Expressions of Community Love.
I just keep thinking, "Hey, if anyone wants to know what films I think are spiritually significant or whether I think a particular one is, they can ask me. I tend to be free with my opinions; perhaps too free. At last count I think I had seen exactly 50 of the 100 entrants (though 6 out of 10 Decalogue and 2 out of 3 Three Colors, but I figure all 3 LOTR so, hey, I'll give myself credit for all three), and I suspect that would put me somewhere in the top half of total respondents, but pffft, I spent a significant portion of the summer writing about ONE film, and I think I could spend a whole year just thinking about any ONE of most of these films, so I fear on some level that even a list like this one feeds some of the worst instincts in us rather than the best, threatening to turn some of our richest and best art into a checklist of "What's next?"--making it more important what (and above all how many) I've seen rather than allowing me (at least) to ever stop long enough to give serious reflection to what I got out of it.
Why do I want a list? So I can see more films on it than Matt or Dan or Rich or Leary or Darren or Russ and thus feel validated? Don't get me wrong, I'm an academic, which means I succeeded in school, which means I'm all about the mad rush for visible credit and signs of quantifiable achievement. I've just always thought of my love of film as a thing relatively less tainted by all that and find the closer I get to this list the worse are the things it brings out of me.
So. I'll echo Jeffry's question, is that a good excuse?
Thanks for your thoughtful post Ken. It's helpful for someone who is just beginning to delve into the film world to get a bit of perspective.
I agree with you and Ellen. We have plenty of profundity and conviction in the movie world, movies immersed in solemnity, as can be seen on the list. But where's the joy? Where's the celebration of life?
I suppose this is why I tend toward movies like Life Is Beautiful, or Chocolat, or as you said Ken, Babette's Feast, which celebrate goodness, and happiness. I think there's a tendency when coming to art to assume that truly profound art comes out of sadness, and heartbreak; but true art comes from finding the light through it, seeing joy anyway, not wallowing in despair.
When I was in my 20s (and, not coincidentally, fairly depressed), I thought that all the "serious" movies were the really important ones. the older I get, the more I appreciate both gentle humor and outright silliness - and the more I actually need those qualities to get through life (which is mos' def' hard stuff) and enjoy it, too.
I love Mos Def. He's awesome.
I'm in the top 50 users?!
Survey complete. I lost the original email. Sorry...
I'm ashamed by how few I've seen. Thought I'd made a decent effort at getting through them but apparently need to try harder. Ask me again next year
Posted 24 Jul 2006
Heh, that was my reaction. I don't post all that often, either. At least, I didn't think I did.
I'll look, but can't make promises. So much going on.
Survey complete. Does being in the top 50 users make me part of the A&F elite? If so, I guess I'll have to post less often.
Here's the gripe that I am now entitled to:
American Beauty: Still on the list. Mary Poppins: Still not on the list.
<---Officially thanks Jeffrey for taking vanguard (by choice or not) on deadbeat status so that he can bear the brunt of the heaviest criticism.
I'm dealing with some huge deadlines at work right now, but I'm working through the survey and hope to finish soon.
Russ hacked into my email and voted. If The Mosquito Coast doesn't make it, it is not my fault.
I'm working on my Master's Essay right now (aiming for August defence), and have a number of house guests, but I'll try to get to it before the weekend.
And Martin, the day Mary Poppins makes the Top100...will be, um, bad. So there.
Perhaps, but not as bad as the days some of the other choices made it...
Posted 25 Jul 2006
Done, and done.
Anyone else feel that "Deadbeat" should be changed to "superior time managers who are able to put their desire to fill in the Top100 survey ASAP to one side until they have dealt with more pressing issues"?
In fact, the time I spent filling out that survey rates far closer to "deadbeat activity" than most things I've done this week. I'm so far behind the deadline on paying gigs this week that I can't excuse the time I spent deliberating over whether or not The Year of Living Dangerously is spiritually significant...
But oh well. At least my name won't be appearing in all caps as a public enemy anymore.
Keep sitting on your hands, Ken. I'm seeing the top spot for MAGNOLIA in the near future.
Posted 26 Jul 2006
Sorry, dudes - I have mono and limited access to the internet and I'm moving across the country in two weeks. Not gonna happen. But I'm honored to be included among the deadbeats!
I'm so far behind the deadline on paying gigs this week that I can't excuse the time I spent deliberating over whether or not The Year of Living Dangerously is spiritually significant...

Ken, just do what I did. Don't watch any of the movies.
Goes a lot quicker that way.

Wow, sorry for the delay.
Filling it out now.... wishing there was a "I've not seen this movie but from everything I've heard about it I'm appalled that it was nominated" button.
Is anyone a little dumbfounded by the humming and hawing of those who haven't done it ?
It doesn't take long folks. It's not rocket science, shoot from the gut! That's wherethe spirit lies BABY!!
Took me 25 minutes.

I'd like that button AND a "I've not seen this movie but from everything I've heard about it I'm going to vote for it anyway," but that would make the process so complicated that it would take 35 minutes...
I dunno. I just feel like I need to be a model to Jeffrey Overstreet here of how a Christian Film Critic should be willing and able to stand in the face of community peer pressure.

I wonder if there is a setting that deletes the project after it sends it to iDVD.
Have you tried saving the project before sending?
I made a video and then sent it to idvd to burn a copy.
when I went back to iMovie 11, the project library was gone, and when I tried to click on the project library button, it went grayed out. I could not shut it down, so I forced it off. This happened last week when I put a call into Apple support for help. We did a restore at a later date and that fix it. And now, I'm back to were I can't see my projects in the project library.

What is Dividend Growth Investing?
The important tool that makes dividend growth investing is growth in earnings per share. Growth in earnings per share enables companies to increase dividends over time in a sustainable matter. A company that grows dividends for a period of time without corresponding earnings growth will eventually run out of room to boost distributions. I call these dividend stocks on autopilot, and try to avoid them whenever possible. I typically look for the annual rates of increase in dividends and earnings per share to be similar within a certain range.
As a result, dividend growth investors focus on the catalysts that can generate a higher net income for the corporations whose stock they are purchasing. Companies can earn more by selling more, increasing prices, streamlining operations, expanding in new markets, selling new products or acquiring and merging with other companies. Mergers and acquisitions can only lead to higher earnings per share if they result in synergies. We want growth in earnings per share after all, not just a growth in overall net income.
There is not a one size fits all approach, which is why some time needs to be spent learning about the company and determining where the growth will come from. For many consumer staples such as Coca-Cola (KO) or Procter & Gamble (PG), future growth will be positively correlated with the expansion in the number of middle class consumers in emerging markets of Asia, Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe. Strong pricing power of companies like Coca-Cola (KO) and Phillip Morris International (PM) can also allow them to pass on cost increases to consumers, while increasing their profits. For other companies such as 3M (MMM), future growth could arise from a culture that focuses on innovation and bringing new products to market in order to generate growth.
Imagine a company which yields 2.50% today, but can grow earnings and distributions by 10%/year. The stock trades at $100 today, earns $5/share and pays a $2.50 dividend. The stock will probably yield around 2% - 3% over the course of an year, and would be usually ignored by investors who simply look at current yields. In approximately 14-15 years however, this company would likely still yield somewhere between 2% - 3%. However, the stock would be earning close to $20/share and probably paying about $10/share in annual dividends. It would not be unreasonable to assume that the stock could be valued at $400/share. The investor, who had the vision to acquire this stock when it traded at $100/share, is now generating an yield on cost of 10%. If they reinvested dividends along the way, they would likely be earnings much more in dividend income. The rising dividend income also provides protection against inflation over time.
A few important things to note are related to entry price, diversification, and dividend reinvestment.
Having a strategy that provides a maximum entry price to pay for a stock helps in being a disciplined investor, who avoids getting carried away. I try to never pay more than 20 times earnings for a stock. At the end of the day, if you overpay by purchasing a company like Coca-Cola (KO) or Wal-Mart (WMT) at 30 times earnings, you might end up regretting the investment for a long time. You would likely receive a small yield as well. If you had the fortitude of selecting a great company with solid fundamentals and a rising earnings tide, it would eventually "bail you" out, as earnings growth would compress the P/E ratio. This would make the stock compelling again. However, if for some reason the company stops growing, it might be dead money for a long period of time. Hopefully some of your other investments deliver better returns if that were the case.
This leads me to the next point on diversification. Dividend growth investors need to absolutely build a portfolio consisting of at least 30 individual securities, which come from as many industries that make sense. Investors who own less than 30 positions, and are heavily focused on a sector or two are just asking for trouble. A diversified portfolio of over 30 stocks provides a fail-safe mechanism to protect the portfolio income against a few bad apples. It can also protect investors against a wave of dividend cuts in a given sector. Investors in the financial sector experienced dividend cuts and eliminations across the board during the 2007 – 2009 financial crisis. Not every company in the financial sector cut dividends however, and the carnage was mostly focused there.
The good part about the strategy is that investors receive cash in their brokerage accounts from their dividend paying stocks. This allows them to have the necessary resources available for opportunities present during recessions for example. Not all sectors are attractive to invest in at all times. This is why building your exposure at the most attractive stocks across a variety of sectors over time is an effective way to deploy dividends received and new capital put to work.

With all the carnage in the oil patch, my next investment is looking to be Husky. I'd invest in the US but with the CDN dollar in the tank it doesn't make sense to buy American. If I was smarter, I would have divested my CDN holdings when our dollar was high, and invested in the US then. Oh well. Live and learn.
Actually, I suppose that's my point. I've been reading your blog for a while and have learned a lot about portfolio management and dividend growth investing. So thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world.

"The worries are over for now," said Dan Partridge, a spokesman for the state Department of Ecology. "Right now, snowpack and stream-flow figures and all the indicators make it pretty certain that we won't have to worry about any kind of statewide drought."
The agency convened a group of federal and state officials in February after a relatively dry start to the winter raised concerns about a possible statewide drought. The group met last week and plan to meet again in May.
While a statewide drought declaration isn't likely, water supply experts say they're still closely watching dry pockets, including in Lincoln, Douglas and Okanogan counties, where low soil moisture levels could still present headaches for agriculture.
"We're in good shape on the west side" of the state, state climatologist Nick Bond said, adding, "We're still keeping an eye on the east side."
The state relies on mountain snowpack to supply water for drinking, irrigation, fish migration, power generation and other needs through the year.
The relatively dry start to the winter and lower-than-average snowpack had many worried about drought potential. But a parade of storms in February deluged the state, especially west of the Cascade Mountains.
For example, in one 10-day period, Stevens Pass received 10 feet of snow, according to the National Weather Service. And one spot in the Lewis River Basin measured about 23 inches of rain last month, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
"We should feel very fortunate that we've got rain at low elevation and snow at high elevation in the last month. That really has bailed us," Bond said. "If that hadn't happened, we'd be looking at the kind of (drought) problems that California has."
On February 1, the statewide average snowpack readings were at 55 percent of normal, though basins across the state varied. By March 1, the statewide average readings were about 89 percent of normal.
"That's a pretty significant jump in snowpack," said Larry Johnson, state conservation engineer with the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
The state last declared drought emergencies in 2005 and 2001.

When we set out to explain why and how something happens, we must use the evidence, facts and experience available to us if we are to arrive at a logical conclusion. Using available evidence, experience, facts, observation and experimentation, we know that the universe had a beginning and that before that beginning there was no universe and therefore there was nothing. We know this because of the Law of Causality (for every cause there is an effect and for every effect there is a cause). Based on this law, we can use the following logic:
1. The universe exists.
2. The universe had a beginning.
3. Before the beginning of the universe, there was no universe.
4. Since there was no universe, there was nothing.
5. Since the universe does exist, it came from nothing.
6. Nothing comes from nothing by any natural cause.
7. Therefore the cause of the universe is supernatural.
8. Life exists.
9. Life always comes from pre-existing life of the same kind (the Law of Biogenesis).
10. Life cannot come from nonliving matter by any natural cause.
11. Since life does exist, the cause of life is supernatural.
Many people with a naturalistic worldview assume everything can be explained by natural causes. From the beginning, they reject the possibility of a supernatural cause. Because of this they are left with no scientifically valid answers to the question of how the universe could come from nothing, which is impossible by any natural cause of which we are aware. Many answers have been proposed that go beyond the realm of known evidence, experience, facts, observation and experimentation and therefore enter the realm of fiction.
The same logic applies to life. Using available evidence, experience, facts, observation and experimentation, we know that life only comes from pre-existing life of the same kind.
[color=blue][i]"Spontaneous generation (the emergence of life from nonliving matter) has never been observed. All observations have shown that life comes only from life. This has been observed so consistently it is called the Law of Biogenesis. Evolution conflicts with this scientific law by claiming that life came from nonliving matter through natural processes"[/color][/i] [[url=http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/]From "In the Beginning" by Walt Brown[/url]]
Life never comes from non-living matter by any natural cause of which we are aware.
Now that we have seen proof that God exists, using logic based on known evidence, experience, facts, observation and experimentation, we need to see if He has revealed Himself to us. In the Holy Bible there are hundreds of prophecies given by God who is speaking in the first person. In both Bible and secular history we find that those prophecies have been accurately fulfilled. No other writing on earth comes close to doing this! Only God can accurately reveal the future, ergo, He is the author of the Holy Bible. Within the pages of the Holy Bible He reveals His nature, our nature, His relationship to us, our need for salvation and His plan of salvation for us.
The reason the universe and life cannot come from nothing by any natural cause, but can come from a supernatural cause is because God is the self-existent creator of everything and everyone. He is not subject to His creation. He created it and sustains it. It is a mistake to judge God by human standards and human perspectives. God reveals that He is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent.
If you are interested in more detailed proof, read, [i]"Evidence that Demands a Verdict"[/i] by Josh McDowell.

Pahu: "When you say the universe could not have had a beginning, aren't you assuming it has always existed? Is that possible without violating known laws of physics?"
Brad: As has also been previously explained to you, you are attempting to apply the physical laws of this universe to whatever, if anything, came before the big bang. You cannot do this. For example, if our time-space continuum emerged from some other space-time continuum, we do not and most likely cannot know anything about the physical laws of that universe or its origins (if any).
This is important and it can't be stressed too strongly: any statement you make about what came before the big bang is untestable speculation. So, your argument claims knowledge that it cannot legitimately claim and, therefore, it is not a sound argument.
(I'm setting aside for the moment the fact that, from the perspective of our universe, the phrase "before the big bang" doesn't even make sense.)
Pahu: Your explanation rules out the laws of physics as we know them and replaces them with speculation about the "possibility" there were a whole set of different laws of physics before the Big Bang. Did I summarize you accurately? If so, do you really believe that constitutes a rational explanation. Isn't your explanation simply speculation based on your attempt to rule out the obvious conclusion that the universe came from nothing?
As a matter of fact, you admit that "any statement you make about what came before the big bang is untestable speculation. So, your argument claims knowledge that it cannot legitimately claim and, therefore, it is not a sound argument." Aren't you admitting your "explanation" is unsound?
Science traditionally uses known laws of physics to find explanations for phenomena. Your "explanation" is more like science fiction.
Mr Pahu, let me warn you talking about God of any sort on this site causes frustration...beware the ids...
But no problem with me, so lets talk, your first remark about the universe...so we are going on the big bang theory, ok, not sure about your nothing claim, you must be suggesting the space between planets is nothing and whats is this cause and reaction thing you talk of...by your statement, the first domino falls and that is a cause then the second is an effect the third a cause the fourth an effect and so on...
Now again you enter into this no universe, so nothing, so please define space I am confused as even the big bang refers to a larger exploding so there was something with allot of space surrounding it...
Ok now second last paragraph you talk about the entity God as if it were a man...why...when in the last paragraph you state it is not...but I am getting ahead of my self...God is not the author of the bible and by that remark I know your a thumper...you might claim the words are inspired by the unknown but all inspirations are filtered through the male ignorance and manipulated to feed mans ego and perversions...hell even Jesus said don't ask me what God thinks ask it yourself, as he knew first hand that regardless of how close he was that the knowledge would still have to filter though him to whomever and going direct was the only way of truly knowing the answer...as Jesus said go to God, handlers of the bible say come to me and I will tell you about God...two totally different statements two totally different results, one self empowers the other dominates and controls...read my last blog and give me your feed back...
I'm starting to think that Pahu doesn't exist.
Poof! He's gone like a fart in the wind.
I am not sure if this has been mentioned, but the Miller-Urey experiment has shown the building blocks of life can form from a chemical reaction.
The experiment used what was probably known as the early earth's atmosphere and subjugated to "lightning" and after a week of experimentation, they found amino acids.
In 2007, the same sealed vial of original experimental water shown at least 20 different amino acids.
After some rethinking of the early Earth's atmosphere, the experiment was done again. This time with more diverse molecules.
Now, I am not an expert in abiogenesis, so I do not theorems or other experiments, but this experiment is touched upon in high school biology right before you learn about cells and genetics.

Now, I am not an expert in abiogenesis, so I do not theorems or other experiments, but this experiment is touched upon in high school biology right before you learn about cells and genetics.
The experiments by Harold Urey and Stanley Miller, conducted in 1953, are often mentioned as showing that the "building blocks of life" can be produced in the laboratory. Not mentioned in these misleading claims are:
1) These "building blocks" are merely the simpler amino acids. The most complex amino acids have never been produced in the laboratory.
2) Most products of these chemical reactions are poisonous to life.
3) Amino acids are as far from a living cell as bricks are from the Empire State Building.
4) Half the amino acids produced have the wrong handedness.
5) Urey and Miller's experiments contained a reducing atmosphere, which the early earth did not have, and components, such as a trap, that do not exist in nature. (A trap quickly removes chemical products from the destructive energy sources that make the products.)
In fact, most of what was produced in the Miller-Urey experiments was a sludge of simple organic chemicals that are not found in living organisms. Only about 2% was amino acids. Of this 2%, 95% was the simplest amino acid of all, glycine.
Chemist Robert Shapiro describes the widespread current acceptance of the results of Miller and Urey's experiments as "mythology rather than science."
Oxygen is deadly to the Miller-Urey experiments: the 'building blocks of life' simply would not have formed in an oxygen-rich atmosphere. Oxygen reacts with methane to form carbon dioxide and water, and with ammonia to form nitrogen oxides and water. If you introduce oxygen into the apparatus, along with methane and hydrogen, and then put a spark through it, you do not get amino acids: you get an explosion.
But scientists still often claim that the atmosphere of the early Earth did not contain oxygen. When asked why, they reply that oxygen-less conditions are needed for life to develop. Now, call me naive, but in any other circumstances I think we would say this was arguing in a circle.
"All nucleotides synthesized biologically today are righthanded. Yet on the primitive earth, equal numbers of right- and left-handed nucleotides would have been present. When we put equal numbers of both kinds of nucleotides in our reaction mixtures, copying was inhibited." Leslie E. Orgel, "The Origin of Life on the Earth," Scientific American, Vol. 271, October 1994, p. 82.
"Many researchers have attempted to find plausible natural conditions under which [left-handed] L-amino acids would preferentially accumulate over their [right-handed] D-counterparts, but all such attempts have failed. Until this crucial problem is solved, no one can say that we have found a naturalistic explanation for the origin of life. Instead, these isomer preferences point to biochemical creation." Kenyon, p. A-23.
All of the above show why intelligence and design are necessary to produce even the simplest components of life.
Further Reading: http://www.answersingenesis.org/tj/v18/i2/abiogenesis.asp
So you're saying the intelligence and design are necessary, therefore: god. Why not aliens? We know different kinds of life exist right here on our own planet. It stands to reason other intellegent creatures may have evolved elsewhere. I suppose from there, one could speculate that they seeded a planet much less hospitable (ours) than the one where their own abiogenesis occurred. We've not seen a god or gods anywhere, at any time.
One of the problems with the god of the gaps argument is that gaps keep shrinking. Also, the Flying Spaghetti Monster fits in the same gap... while also explaining global warming. You know, because of the pirates...
We've not seen a god or gods anywhere, at any time.
Have you ever seen an atom, a neutron, an electron, etc.? Does that prove they don't exits?
There are microscopic pictures of atoms. There have been for decades. It's easily possible to image single atoms in a crystal lattice for example.
Besides, we can show their existence from the way we can interact with them. Supposedly god interacts with the world, yet no one can show it. Hence he doesn't exist.

2014 Miami Football Preview: The 2013 season saw the Hurricanes rattle off 7 wins to open the season, with Stephen Morris and Duke Johnson headlining a dangerous offense that was clicking on all cylinders. An injury to Johnson and a gauntlet of an ACC schedule made the going tough for the Canes as they finished out the season losing 4 of their final 6 games. The Canes will look to replace Morris with talented freshman Brad Kaaya who will orchestrate the offense behind a veteran offensive line and with Johnson in the backfield. But the key to Miami's success in 2014 will likely come on defense, where the Hurricanes have a veteran front 7, and a group of ball-hawks in the secondary. Miami opens the season with a rematch of last years Citrus Bowl, in Louisville's ACC debut. A week 4 matchup at Nebraska highlights the non-conference schedule and tough matchups against Florida State, and at Virginia Tech will likely put the Canes on the national stage.
2013 Miami Football Preview: Al Golden enters his third season as the head coach of the Miami Hurricanes and he continues to build a program that was once the barometer in college football. The offense will be the catalyst for the Hurricanes in 2013 as it returns all five starters on the offensive line. Also returning is senior quarterback Stephen Morris who is fresh off a season in which he threw for over 3,000 yards to go along with 21 touchdowns. Running back Duke Johnson returns for his sophomore season after a freshman campaign of averaging nearly seven yards per carry to go along with 10 rushing touchdowns. The Hurricanes have an early season showdown at home against state rival Florida Gators and they will also welcome conference opponents Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech to Miami Gardens this season.
2011 Miami Football Preview: Miami finished last season with a respectable 9-4 record, but at the end they replaced head coach Randy Shannon with Al Golden, who will be looking to take a talented group of seniors to the ACC Championship game.
The Hurricanes will be led by senior quarterback Jacory Harris on offense. Though he is supremely talented, Harris has struggled to stay healthy, and the team's success relies on his ability to stay on the field. He will be surrounded by a productive supporting cast, including running back Lamar Miller and an experienced offensive line.
Though the success of the offense may be uncertain, the same cannot be said for the defense. This squad was among the best in the conference last year, and Miami fans can expect more of the same in 2011. Specifically, they'll look to Marcus Forston and defensive back Ray-Ray Armstrong, both of whom are coming of stellar campaigns last season. However, it will be Armstrong who will stand out as he is a potential first round draft pick. If they can lead the way again, there's no reason why Miami won't be in the conversation this year.
2010 Miami Football Preview: For fans of a football team with the long-standing winning tradition of the Miami Hurricanes, it's hard not to be excited for the upcoming season. In 2010, many experts have the team slated for a big year, after a tough schedule and ill-timed departures left them with a middling performance last season. To begin 2009, the Hurricanes lost their two backup quarterbacks to other schools, and starting defensive end Adewale Ojomo suffered a broken jaw after a locker room fight to end his season.
Nonetheless, Miami was able to start their difficult schedule with a 3-1 record after beating rivals Florida State, and then defeating the fourteenth ranked Georgia Tech and the powerhouse Oklahoma Sooners. Despite a series of setbacks, the Canes were able to make their second straight Bowl Game bid.
This season, the Hurricanes will start their year on much firmer ground. Junior quarterback Jacory Harris now has played a full season under offensive coordinator Mark Whipple, and should be better prepared to face the top talent of the ACC. Harris is coming off a season in which he threw for 3,352 yards, the fourth most passing yards in a single season in school history.
A strong recruiting class assembled by coach Randy Shannon also put Miami in position to make a run for a conference championship, given the right breaks.
2009 Miami Football Preview: Head Coach: Randy Shannon The 2009 season could be the year that the Miami Hurricanes finally return to their position among the nation's elite teams. The Canes were a mainstay in the top 10 for much of the last few decades, but have struggled for a few seasons under Head Coach Randy Shannon. Shannon's a fantastic coach, but has to compete with stiff in-state competition for the top recruits in the state of Florida. If Shannon can get the Canes defense playing up to their abilities and also get some production from the offense, then there will be very few teams who can give Miami a game.
2008 Miami Football Preview: Head Coach: Randy Shannon While the University of Miami Hurricanes football program has seen some tough times in the last few seasons, don't get used to their lack of success. The Hurricanes are without a doubt the most successful college football team in the last 25 years. The last few years have seen tragedy strike as well as an embarrassing on-field brawl and steady decline in performance. After one year at the head coaching position, Randy Shannon looks to return the team to its previous success. He's started by removing the names of players from their jerseys, hoping to focus the team's energy away from individuals and back to the team. Fans at Dolphin Stadium this coming season will look for their home team to climb the ACC ranks and play for a good bowl game this season.

The pottery of Beatrice Wood
Beatrice Wood (1893-1998) was a Southern California-based artist and studio potter. As a young woman, she broke with her wealthy San Francisco family to live as a bohemian in Paris, becoming close friends with Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray and others in the avant-garde Dada movement.
In Simi Valley: 'A window to the infinite'
They were linked, bizarrely, by would-be assassins' bullets that struck them within seven weeks of each other in the spring of 1981.
They were linked, politically, by their successful (and behind-the-scenes) efforts to help tear down the Berlin Wall and release Eastern Europe from communism.
Don Quixote: Love and redemption with the L.A. Ballet
For the lover of literature, there are moments one never forgets. Even now, I can't quite believe "they" killed certain protagonists: the grandmother in Flannery O'Connor's "A Good Man is Hard to Find," Anne Frank, Christ.
There's another moment, unique unto itself: the deathbed revelation of "Don Quixote."
Where chance meets necessity The boxes of Joseph Cornell
Joseph Cornell (1903-1972) was eccentric and reclusive and went about NYC and environs collecting little bits and pieces of things: shells, old diaries, album covers. He felt there were certain objects that belonged together that had been separated, possibly by decades, and made otherworldly, magical assemblage boxes that purported to reunite them.
Pop Artist. Provocateur. Catholic. Who was Andy Warhol?
Chances are you've heard of the phrase "15 minutes of fame." And you've probably seen the neon-colored canvases of Campbell soup cans or Marilyn Monroe's face – even if you don't know the artist behind them.
A new look into the Vatican's stunning museums
Those who haven't made it to the world famous Vatican Museums needn't worry – the Church's treasures will now come to them through a new DVD series aimed at sharing the small country's rich patrimony with the world.
Postwar shadows: Japanese photographer Isiuchi Miyako
Aug. 6 of this year marked the 70th anniversary of the first atomic bomb dropped by the U.S. on Japan, at Hiroshima. Nagasaki followed on Aug. 9.
Posada's calaveras
José Guadalupe Posada was born Feb. 2, 1852, in Aguascalientes, Mexico, to illiterate parents of indigenous descent.
Lalo Garcia: An artist pays homage to a saint
Lalo Garcia's voice was reflective: "I first learned of Blessed Junípero Serra through history books about his building the California missions." Having spent the first 13 years of his life in Mexico, young Lalo was familiar with stories of missionary priests.
The rise of millennial Catholic artists – and here's a chat with one of them
Luke Spehar was an aspiring musician with a girlfriend when he couldn't shake the feeling that God was calling him to enter the seminary and consider the priesthood.

I have recived the following if anybody is interested
They have to justify their unelected positions & 6 figure salaries by being seen to do something.
Doesn't bother me either way: nothing they implement can have any effect on my own safety so I'll ride DrL free, here, in Europe, or anywhere in the world. To the bikes hard-wired since whenever I'll retro fit a proper switch.
While I don't believe ''Blinding vehicle lights are surely the most pressing road safety problem of modern times,' I do believe they are a problem. Often though, it's simply a case of poorly adjusted lamps. That there are so many may indicate a growing selfishness... the 'I can light up the road just fine thanks and I don't give a damn about you' mentality. Although difficult to quantify, it can be demonstrated a general, insidious beligerence is on the increase through a rise in other forms of anti-social, inconsiderate driving: namely a complete lack of indicator use which has become dangerously prolific in my experience – whether riding, driving, or simply gauging a crossing as a pedestrian.
My personal theory is this behaviour is linked to more deeply rooted social issues stemming from our post Kantian materialistic perception of life, existence and personal responsibility [or lack of it], and the crowded rush of our 21st Century lifestyles.
Riding a motorcycle equips you with so many life saving insights and facets it's difficult to acknowledge how any pencil-necked beaurocrat could ever, in any shape or form, pass on any worthwhile wisdom or implement any life saving legislation.
Unfortunately we wont be seeing any real improvement until those in the seats act & speak on issues they have real knowledge and experience of. Don't hold your breath: Plato was aware of this 2000+ years ago, and nothing has changed.

THINKFilm has acquired North American rights to Bill Guttentag and Dan Sturman's doc "Nanking." The team behind the Oscar-winning doc "Twin Towers" debuted their new film at this year's Sundance, winning the Documentary Film Editing Award. It will continue its festival run at Silverdocs. The film tells the story of the Japanese invasion of Nanking, China during World War II through interviews with survivors, archival footage and testimonies from Japanese soldiers. "'Nanking' is an exceedingly well-crafted and moving historical recreation of a shocking event," said THINKFilm head Mark Urman, who plans to release the film in late 2007.

"I still think the social function of art is that kind of negative aesthetic. Otherwise there's no social function for it."
"I'm afraid to talk about values these days. Usually, any time values are invoked, it's to dismiss or maybe incarcerate somebody! I do make work that focuses on unnecessary cruelty, in the hope that people will recoil. I would like there to be less fear and cruelty."

Rock Star Dilana Signs Co-Publishing Agreement With Cherry Lane
June 17, 2007 12:05 AM by Joe Blackmon
Cherry Lane Music Publishing Company Inc., whose roster includes
songwriters such as Quincy Jones, the Black Eyed Peas, and John Legend,
has signed a worldwide, long term, co-publishing agreement with
sensational rocker Dilana Robichaux, who is best known for her
participation on the hit CBS reality-show Rock Star: Supernova.
As the fan-favorite on the widely popular Rock Star: Supernova, Dilana was the show stopper during the broadcasts, as well as on the tour that followed. With her impressive songwriting abilities and powerful vocals, Dilana earned respect and praise from the show's judges and viewers.
Dilana is currently working on material for an upcoming album, and is co-writing with MÃtley CrÃe's Mick Mars, another Cherry Lane songwriter. Most recently, Dilana was the opening act for Aerosmith in Las Vegas. As her career flourishes with a thriving worldwide fan base, Dilana is set to make her mark in the music world.
Richard Stumpf, SVP of Creative Services & Marketing at Cherry Lane commented on the signing: "Anyone who has heard Dilana sing knows she is a rock star in the purest sense. She blew the doors off of the CBS Rock Star: Supernova competition and was the star of the subsequent tour. In our efforts to sign the best of the best, Dilana is right at home in the Cherry Lane family. We are currently working with Dilana on her album and can't wait for her fans to listen to the amazing music she is creating."
Jimmy Stewart, Dilana's manager at Sanctuary Artist Management remarked: "Cherry Lane has been an utter joy to work with. They are great people with an excellent understanding of today's publishing world. The care and attention they've shown to Dilana has been quite astounding by traditional industry standards!"
Dilana commented on the signing: "I am ecstatic about being adopted by Cherry Lane! I believe their vision for my career and success in this tough business mirrors my own. They love me and believe in me – that's always a perfect recipe for inspiration! My future looks bright with my new family!"

Dress Rehearsal at the MIA celebrates the yin-yang of style with Emma Berg
Vintage custom tulle coat from a private collection.
Chris McDuffie Photography
Yin-yang was the concept running throughout the looks presented at the third-annual Dress Rehearsal, hosted by the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. It permeated the event with a runway collection of vintage haute couture items that were juxtaposed with a line of entirely new pieces by esteemed local designer Emma Berg.

Slideshow: Stunning style at Dress Rehearsal 2013 at the MIA
Bullock's Wilshire paillette and printed silk dress
Chris McDuffie
The event, founded by Cory and Stephanie Lake, served as a benefit for the MIA's Friends of the Institute. In an effort to give students greater exposure to the arts, this year the Friends will fund a youth filmmaking project and a storyteller series in the museum's African galleries.
Dress Rehearsal began with 16 vintage looks parading down the runway in truly elegant fashion. The collection brought viewers on a trip through fashion history, with pieces including classic Chanel and Dior suits and LBD cocktail ensembles by Vicky Tiel and Bill Blass. George Halley's net embroidered gown brought to mind a stunning version of Jane Austen's Emma Woodhouse with its empire waist, intricate trim, and puffed sleeves. The use of tulle and crystal-encrusted flowers smattered all over the gown gave it a modernized 19th-century look.
The 1920s are back in a big way right now, and Bullock's Wilshire's paillette and printed silk dress evoke some of the best parts of the era. The mix of sapphire-blue sequins patterned around muted bronze silk works beautifully in pre-Dust Bowl extravagance.
Bonnie Cashin bolero & Marchesa gown
Chris McDuffie
Rei Kawakubo's Comme Des Garcons is known for some pretty experimental pieces, but this tulle and leather outfit bring together medieval leather-working and feminine elegance for a cocktail ensemble. It's a little Xena -- the look is as bold, daring, and stylish as the Warrior Princess herself -- and is perfect for breaking the LBD mold.
The strapless Marchesa gown was the epitome of elegance, with a pleated skirt flowing from an empire waist. And as for that Bonnie Cashin bolero... who needs fur when you can have turkey feathers? (And who knew turkey feathers could be so beautiful?) The way the cropped, feathered jacket fluttered down the runway, floating on the gentle wind goes to show the incredible craftsmanship and imagination that went into this piece. Despite the simple color palette with these looks, they were as extravagant as ever.
Continue reading for some highlights from Emma Berg's collection.
Emma Berg's Fall/Winter 2013 collection, aptly named YY (Yin-Yang), showed how closely opposites can attract, and just how attractive they can be together. With her 18-piece collection on display for the first and last time in its entirety, the crowd at the MIA was witness to quite the sartorial treat. Berg's collection used various accessories from Stephanie Lake Jewelry and avant-garde masks by Jesse Draxler to accent her pieces.
Emma Berg
Chris McDuffie
The structured red crop top combines both playful and sophisticated elements with a sultry satin sheen. The gold skirt does the same, mixing fabrics and hemlines for a playful look that gives a cheeky nod to modesty with a swathe of mesh and a satin hem on the bottom.
Peplum has come back in a big way, and Berg gave her own take with this gold peplum top. She also mixes both metallic colors and prints here for a bold, but ever-sleek look that's perfectly accented by Stephanie Lake's oversized sunburst pendant.
Emma Berg
Chris McDuffie
The crop top reigned supreme in a few of Berg's looks. The fuzzy, black velvet delight with gold satin cuffs was the perfect cold weather crop top (yes, that sounds like an oxymoron, but it was surprising how much it worked). The floral skirt paired with the top only further emphasized the wintery nature of the velvet against the spring-like flowers -- the true embodiment of the collection's yin-yang namesake.

Severe Weather Moving into East Texas
An area of cooler and drier weather is causing storms to develop in the Pineywoods of East Texas, in fact, a severe weather warning has been issued.
An area of cooler and drier weather is causing storms to develop in the Pineywoods of East Texas, in fact, a severe weather warning has been issued.
A strong cold front is making its way across Deep East Texas Monday evening and kicking off a developing of line of strong storms.
Black Friday in East Texas brings extra traffic, long lines, and now, how about we add some showers and a pretty strong cold front.
But when is the best chance of rain or thunderstorms and when will the colder air be in place?
The National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch effective until 7 p.m. for parts of East Texas on this Veteran's Day.
As the afternoon progresses, widespread showers and thunderstorms should start popping up across East Texas. Some of these storms could get to severe levels.
A cold front is moving through the Pineywoods this afternoon and there is a slight chance of a shower in the immediate Lufkin/Nacogdoches area, however, as you head south, the chance increases, in fact, severe storms are possible this evening.
Don't always believe everything Facebook tells you. If it was all true, do you have any idea how many dollars would've been donated to charity for liking that picture of a kitten? It can't be all true, and it's not. Here are some pictures of "Hurricane Sandy" circulating around that most certainly are NOT pictures of Hurricane Sandy. You're welcome.
Winds in excess of 75 miles per hour, possible flooding as rainfall, high tide and storm surge combine, and jogging horses...
Changes are coming for East Texas weather...of course, that's always a given.
As of 2:30 Thursday afternoon, the leading edge of a strong mass of colder air was moving into the D/FW Metroplex. So, what can we expect for East Texas over the next few hours and into the weekend?
Every winter, the television stations and Internet news sites provide us with tons of content about snowstorms, but we never really experience it in Lufkin, Nacogdoches, or other areas of east Texas.
It was just a few months ago that parts of East Texas were rudely awakened by a series of minor earthquakes that were centered around the Nacogdoches/Shelby counties area.
Welcome to the club, Dallas.

Here I am a sinner
Broken and in need of You
Take my life and wash my fears away
For You are the 'Great I am'
Rest assured, I feel Your hand
Holding me until the darkness clears
A Father to the fatherless
Redeemer of my soul
My Life is Yours forever
I want the world to know
Your mercy saved me
Mercy made me whole
Your mercy found me
Called me as Your own
Here I stand a child of Yours
Broken and in need of You
Break these chains and wash my guilt away
Healer of my brokenness
My weary soul will find its rest
You are my strength, the lifter of my head
You're greater than my yesterdays
You hold me close today
You're the Lord of my tomorrows
My heart will always say
You're greater than my yesterdays
You hold me close today
You're the Lord of my tomorrows
My heart will always say
You called me as Your own
You called me as Your own
Thank You for Your mercy
Thank You for Your mercy
You called me as Your own
Your own
