The Solitaire game on my iPhone is way cool. It has features that aren't available on the standard Windows download for PCs. Namely, there is an unlimited amount of "undos" unlike the restricted one allowed on Windows XP. Plus, after you finish a game, you can play the same one all over again. After playing one game 17 times, I finally won. Sort of like the movie, Ground Hogs Day, starring Bill Murray, a story line that forces the main character to re-live the same day over and over again, until he grows up instead of continuing as the self-centered sensation seeker.
Last night, while driving my teenage daughter home on Queens Boulevard, I told her I was offered the opportunity to be the art director for a documentary. What was originally intended to be a film only to be shown at our neighborhood's final Centennial Celebration is now being considered to appear on Channel 13, in affiliation with the renowned New York Historian, Barry Lewis. Samantha congratulated me and told me how proud she was of me. As I slowed down at a stoplight, I said, "I want to be a good role model for you."
A pause hung briefly in the air until the traffic light turned green. I pushed my foot gently on the accelerator and resumed our ride home.
"Mom," Samantha said. The steady sound stream of cars passing each other was interrupted by my daughter's gentle flow of words.
"You're already a good role model to me," she said. "I'm so proud of you."
"Thank you," I said. I wanted to look into her eyes and say so. Instead, they began to mist. I continued looking ahead while responsibly holding the steering wheel. My thoughts drifted to my Mom. I wonder how her life would have been like if she didn't adhere to the stereotype of her time. Back then, in the early '50s, if women graduated from college, the norm was to marry and become a housewife, which is exactly what she did. She was swept up by this trend.
She was a daughter of a secretary and engineer from Schenectady suburbia and a Grade A psychiatry major attending the University of Rochester on a scholarship. For whatever reason, whether it was the stress of living up to her parents' expectations, if they had any, falling for my father's Ivy League charm, or just being swept up by the allure of joining the ranks of the privileged class, she made her move. Like placing the Queen of Hearts onto the King of Spades, she altered the final outcome of her life and married.
What if she chose the path less traveled, instead of following society's acceptable route by marrying up in the world. Would she have continued her education by going to grad school? She could have become a formidable presence in the field of psychiatry. I see her living in a classically decorated pre-war building on Park Avenue, on a floor high enough so the sun can shine in. The walls would be ensconced with works of fine contemporary artists; maybe even a Monet or Klee. She'd be passionately involved with the arts; serving on museum boards and attending fundraisers for scholarships offered to promising painters. Not someone on the kitchen phone smoking a non-filter Pall Mall cigarette while waiting for the washing machine in the basement to complete its rinse cycle as John Gambling rambled on the radio.
Not only was she one smart cookie, she was also a real beauty. Her deep-set eyes and high cheekbones were a close match to Queen Nefertiti's bust. Mom was tall and thin and carried herself with the grace of a ballet dancer. After she graduated she moved to my father's neighborhood, Forest Hills, Queens and landed a job at Elizabeth Arden's. She worked as a show room model mingling with the fashion elite. Who knows what untapped opportunities waited for her behind the famed Fifth Avenue red door?
Instead Mom walked hand in hand with our father off into the sunset. They had a no-frills wedding ceremony at the Fort Louis Army Base in Georgia, where my Dad happened to be stationed at the time. She eventually bore four children and attended to the day-to-day functions of household management through the years. A Bell & Howell home video camera documented our growing family and prosperity.
For a while it seemed like she made the right choice. Dad continued playing at the West Side Tennis Club. Now us kids attended private schools. We moved into a larger house that had a driveway and greenhouse and even joined a beach club. Mom had her hair touched up once a month in Manhattan by the same hair colorist who did the Gabor sisters. Our parents went on vacation trips together.
Like cards in a Solitaire game sequentially piling onto their designated suit, so was the life of our family. Mom and Dad hosted many impromptu parties during weeknights where everyone would dance to Herb Albert & the Tijuana Brass, The Dorsey Brothers and German music blaring from our new stereo console. There was always a dinner guest and wine on the table. We even had a live-in housekeeper for a while. The cards kept moving without dipping into the reserve pile in search of hope.
Our downfall sneaked up on us like losing to a sure win game of Solitaire. No matter how many delicious dinners Mom prepared, cleaned the house till it sparkled, or made strides to look her best, she and Dad fought incessantly. What began as "Living Happily Ever After" became "The Glory That Once Was Rome." Dad moved out and Mom was left with the task of telling us about the divorce. She said it was for the best, but I cried. Dad cancelled our credit with the local grocery and drug stores. We could no longer shop at Best & Co. Bills accumulated. My brother and I transferred into Forest Hills High. I don't know what hurt me more — my parents' divorce or never seeing the sun set over Rockaway from the Sun & Surf Beach Club.
A week after the divorce papers were signed, my mother ended up in The Mary Immaculate Hospital's Intensive Care Ward in Jamaica, Queens. She was diagnosed with pancreatitis. This was only the first in a series of emergency hospital visits. During one stay her heart actually stopped beating. Despite all of mom's brushes with death, our father rarely mailed out the alimony checks on time. Often they didn't include the correct full amount and always they were made out by my father's new wife.
We continued living in our grand house, and it reflected our decay. Mom stopped paying for the heat; the gas oven was the sole supplier of winter warmth. None of the broken air conditioners were replaced let alone removed. Cool summer showers were welcomed despite the growing leak in the sun porch's ceiling. We washed our dishes by hand after the dishwasher died. Only the refrigerator, washing machine and dryer remained reliable.
Mom took in a couple of strayed dogs and cats. They offered us much happiness and comfort but were rarely walked. The wall-to-wall carpeting needed to be removed. An aroma of urine and feces remained until Mom had to sell the house. Her story became Chekhov's Cherry Orchard.
Mom spent the rest of her years sitting on her bedside. She'd cross her thin legs while smoking a cigarette and watching the news. There was either a cup of coffee of a glass of beer on her nightstand. Her short cotton-thin hair displayed an inch or two of dark roots. Once in a while she'd eat.
What if Mom could have experienced her own Groundhog's Day when she was younger? What if she were to re-live one day over and over again, similar to what Phil Connor's underwent? What would have been the magic ingredient to release her from living a repetitive day and alter her destiny?
Maybe she would have shunned the typical role of what was assumed of so many women, pre-Betty Friedan's book, The Feminine Mystique? Yet how tempting it must have been to marry a handsome and charming man who came from an upscale neighborhood and who could provide for a family. Maybe she wouldn't have passed out while smoking a cigarette and die in New York Hospital days later.
I peruse over the choices I've made as I coast into a parking spot just outside our apartment building. I watch my daughter close the car door and walk towards the building. She's in her own world of high school sophomore-ship. I proudly marvel at her living standard. She's 16 and doing her best. She has a nice crowd of good friends. Her habits include Facebook, doing her hair and makeup. Her teachers give me glowing reports of her class work. She even tried out for the cheer leading team despite the odds of high competition. It wasn't to long ago that she suffered the slings and arrows of poor management from the local public junior high school. Today, she's risen above it all remaining loving and sensible.
A thought jumps in front of my meanderings as we wait for the elevator. If my mom didn't fall victim to what was expected of her would I be having this moment? Would I be alive? Would I have a career? A fine husband?
Maybe I wouldn't be having this conversation with my daughter or even be grateful for having her. Maybe it wouldn't mean so much to me to be a good role model for her. As ugly as the results were from the decisions my Mother made, they provided inspiration to how I live today.

Pollution is shutting down Florida beaches in record numbers. The National Resources Defense Council released its annual beach report this week, showing Florida's beaches closings have gone up 128 percent over the past year.
The Panhandle area was the worst, partly because of all the bays in northwest Florida. High bacteria caused 88 percent of the closings and advisory days.
Linda Young of the Clean Water Network says it's cause for concern.
"These are extremely disappointing numbers for us to have a look at in writing the report. Look at the data and think of the consequences and the reality of what this means. In this state to have that many of our beaches unsafe for people to get in the water, it's terrible".
Bay County had the highest number of days in the state when beaches were closed or under a pollution advisory for the 13 monitored beaches locally. Okaloosa County came in second with high pollution levels on 12 beaches.
Here's how the Bay County beach report breaks down:
A spokesman for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection says the increases in beach closings are not because the beaches are dirtier. He says environmental officials are now doing more frequent testing that include additional types of bacteria.

schools have been attacked by crazed murders in the past--several times in fact.
far enough in the past that the government has had plenty of time to shore up security at schools , train teachers, hire armed guards , buy equipment,
more that enough time to have an effective plan up and running.
a couple more secure doors or one armed person with the school --could have changed this incident.
if that kid had had the proper mental health help --he may not ever pulled such a stupid stunt.
there were warning signs EVERYWHERE --yet the to government and the school system it is strictly BAU.
yet ALL the blame is one the firearm industry?
why is all the blame on firearms???--because that is the POLICY.
the government screws up--yet again by failing to do ANYTHING to prevent the situation and the government wants to shift the blame to another.
the perp is to blame --don't get me wrong but the government was completely short sighted in not taking steps to secure the schools against terrorist like attacks.
billions spent on HLS--yet not one hard door was installed in schools?
you tell me ---WTF is wrong with this picture?
we can learn a lot from the IDF --they have been dealing with state backed attempts to kill their children for decades and THEY do a GOOD job protecting theirs against much bigger threats.
one day we may well have groups of men hell bent on killing our children for political reasons on top of the mental disturbed nut threat.
this day is not that far off.
steps need to be taken NOW.
all these government police agencys can spare a few people --pull a few TSA agents and post them. grab a few guards from local military bases.
and NO BS like the NG in airports,or embassy guards- wondering around with empty weapons and no ammo. --if they can't be locked and loaded they go no reason to be on sight.
no playing around. this country needs to grow up, tighten up and toughen up.
the future is going to be tough and it is going to get a lot tougher for the stupid and the sissies.
there is a time to be tough and we better get cracking!

Women's Hockey Sweeps Weekend after 4-1 Win Over Union
Box Score
PRINCETON (12/7/13) – The Princeton women's hockey team won its second straight game Saturday, Dec. 7 at Hober Baker Rink with a 4-1 victory against Union. With the win, the Tigers sit alone in fourth place in the ECAC standings.
Just as it did the day before, Princeton took an early 1-0 lead courtesy of a short-handed goal. On Friday against Rensselaer it was senior Olivia Mucha who assisted fellow senior Denna Laing on the first line. Saturday, it was Laing who fed Mucha to put the Tigers up 1-0 just 4:01 into the first period. It was the Tigers' ECAC-leading fifth short-handed tally of the season.
Princeton extended its lead to 3-0 in the second session. Junior defender Ali Pankwoski, who on Friday picked up a helper on a blast from the blue line, found the back of the net herself at the 14:28 mark of the middle period. Only 3:30 later, sophomore Cristin Shanahan registered a goal from the left slot on the rush.
Union's Alex Tancrell-Fontaine provided a response for the Engineers with a goal that cut Princeton's lead to 3-1. But Tigers freshman Fiona McKenna came through in the final two minutes of the third period to expand Princeton's advantage to 4-1 with her first career goal.
Sophomore Kimberly Newell stopped 10 Union shots, while Shenae Lundberg made 29 saves in goal for the Engineers. The Tigers controlled the puck throughout the game thanks in part to winning 35 of the game's 54 faceoffs.
Princeton doesn't take the ice for game action again until Jan. 2, when the Tigers host Connecticut at 7 p.m. at Hobey Baker Rink.

On Saturday, the women swimmers will have a dual against Boise State. The women are 3-1 overall this season after just narrowly falling to USC two weeks ago. Senior Margo Geer and sophomores Bonnie Brandon and Emma Schoettmer have made a big impact early for the Wildcats, posting top national times. Geer has the best time in the nation in the 100 free (48.83) and fifth fastest in the 50 free (22.57). Brandon owns a top-15 time nationally in the 200 back (1:56.72), while Schoettmer owns the fifth fastest time in the 200 breast (2:11.98) and the ninth fastest in the 100 breast (1:01.63).
About Boise State:
The Broncos are 2-2 on the season, beating both in-state rival Idaho and BYU. The Broncos have also earned a first-place finish in the Fresno Invitational.

My grandmother grew up in a white mansion on a green hill above Turtle Creek in Highland Park, one of the exclusive Park Cities just outside the Dallas city line. Her father, my great-grandfather, was a big noise in the cotton market, until that market took a precipitous slide, due in part to the invention of polyester. At some point my grandmother married and had a child, my mother. And then, for more reasons than I have ever understood, my grandmother ended up widowed and penniless, raising her daughter in a one-bedroom walk-up.
As a young woman, my mother married a wealthy self-made man, who became my father, and then another wealthy self-made man, who already had a son. Eventually my mother and stepfather and stepbrother and I moved next door to the grand house in which my grandmother had lived with her parents decades earlier. We could see the impressive roofline just over the thick clipped hedges. Somehow our prosperous present never lived up to that golden, prelapsarian past.
Not too surprisingly, money was a loaded subject in my family. Of course, we are not alone in that. Though I suspect it's partly a stand-in for the truly most loaded subject, which is love.
Growing up, I got a lot of different messages about money: that I was a lucky girl to have everything I wanted; that there was not enough of anything; that other people had better lives than ours; that other people had worse lives than ours; that the people who had worse lives than ours didn't work hard enough and wanted to take our money away from us; that if I played my cards right, I could marry a man even wealthier than my stepfather; that if I didn't, I could end up like my grandmother, alone in her third-floor walk-up (a place I loved more than anywhere else on the planet). But the clearest message of all, ironically, was that polite people didn't think or talk about money.
My mother and stepfather, who had both grown up poor, were prone to excesses of hoarding and spending. In our linen closet, I remember seeing rolls and rolls of toilet paper. Sometimes my parents gave lavish parties; at other times they punished my brother and me for spending our 50-cent allowances unwisely. Only my penniless grandmother acted as if money were not a problem.
"If it fits, buy two," she would say whenever we shopped for clothes.
She also liked to say, "It's just as easy to fall in love with a rich man as it is to fall in love with a poor man." Unfortunately, like my grandmother, I did not find that to be true.
The saying of hers that I do still use is, "More dollars than sense." In her lexicon, this applied to people who tore down 19th-century homes and built sharp-cornered boxes that ate up the green lawns in Highland Park; people who spent hundreds of dollars on handbags with logos on them; people who gave their children birthday parties featuring fireworks and rock stars. My grandmother might not have had much money, but she knew what it was intended for, and providing free advertising for Louis Vuitton was not its purpose. In my lexicon today, the phrase usually refers to people who have lots more money than I do and are not spending it as I see fit.
When my wealthy stepfather died, he did not leave me any money. At the time I was bewildered, but looking back, I suspect my postcollege behavior—tending bar and driving across the country with my guitar-wizard boyfriend—did not make me seem like a very good investment. No one in my family offered to share the inheritance, and my biological father had cut his ties with me years earlier, so I was on my own financially.
I had already benefited enormously from my stepfather's wealth in that I received an excellent education and had the confidence of someone who'd been denied little in the way of material goods. Also, this was the early '70s, so money had acquired a bad reputation in my social circles. On some level, I felt relieved of ties to my family and its bewildering financial history. I waited tables, wrote advertising copy, got paid to go back to school, taught writing and ran two graduate writing programs.

Cravings: Churros & Hot Chocolate
Published Jun 1, 2009 - (Updated Dec 3, 2012)
Featured in Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine, Spring/Summer 2009 issue.
There's nothing like the smell of deep-fried churros with cinnamon in the evening air. These cylindrical doughnut-style snacks originated in Spain and were named after the curly ridged horns of Churro sheep. In Mexico, churros are a popular street food, usually available in the evening, but also may be found in malls or on the dessert menu at local restaurants. To create the signature ridges, the dough is piped into hot oil via a churrera, a large syringe-shaped tool with a star nozzle. Churros are delicious when eaten hot and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. They are traditionally served with thick hot chocolate that doubles as a fudgy dipping sauce.
Warning: Churros can be addictive. To avoid becoming as cylindrical as these tasty treats, choose a churro stand a minimum of 6 km. away and walk both there and back at a brisk pace! Find evening churro carts on the corner of Aguacate and Lazaro Cardenas, as well as the corner of Peru and Uraguay.

My fondness for cilantro has been well documented on the blog, and I got the idea of combining it with garbanzos and tomatoes from a blog called Imagnifique, but after I made the salad from the recipe I printed back in 2006, the blog had disappeared. Then in 2007 I spotted another version of the salad with Avocado, which I thought was an inspired addition. Thanks to Mooncrazy from Peanut Butter Etouffee for that variation. If you like cilantro, garbanzos, and tomatoes, I bet you'll love this simple Garbanzo, Tomato, Avocado, and Cilantro Salad with Lime and Chile Dressing.
(Garbanzo, Tomato, Avocado, and Cilantro Salad with Lime and Chile Dressing was revisited July 2011 and updated with better photos and the idea of adding avocado.)
Garbanzo, Tomato, Avocado, and Cilantro Salad with Lime and Chile Dressing
(4 servings, recipe created by Kalyn with inspiration from a blog that no longer exists)
1 can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed well and drained
4-5 tomatoes or 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, diced in 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 cup green onion, sliced
1 cup (1 large bunch) cilantro, washed, dried, and chopped coarsely with chef's knife or food processor
1 avocado, diced (optional, but good)
Dressing Ingredients:
2 T fresh lime juice (plus 2 tsp. more for avocado, if using)
2 T extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp. ground Chipotle chile powder (I used Penzeys, you could substitute hot sauce if you don't have ground Chipotle)
1/2 tsp. chile powder (mild)
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. onion powder
zest from one lime
salt, fresh ground pepper to taste

ZF-9029: Multiple files in library/ or in tests/ don't have the svn:keywords=id
I will add them. Currently we have this page: http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/…
Added on library directory (SVN 20785):
* 2216 PHP files
* 104 files without keyword
* 20 files without associated phpDoc tag (@version $Id$)
Closing as resolved for 1.10
There are still a few files in tests/ and in demos/ that need fixing.
This is the shell script I use to find unsubstituted Subversion keywords.
$ svn_kw_re='\$(Author|Date|Head(URL|er)|Id|LastChanged(By|Date|Revision)|Rev(ision)?|URL)\$' $ export svn_kw_re $ find . -type d -name .svn -prune -o ( -type f -exec grep "${svn_kw_re}" {} /dev/null \; )
Here is the list of matches I got on the trunk this morning.
./bin/zf.php ./demos/Zend/Service/LiveDocx/configuration.php.dist ./demos/Zend/Service/LiveDocx/Helper.php ./tests/Zend/AllTests/StreamWrapper/PhpInput.php ./tests/Zend/Application/Resource/CacheManagerTest.php ./tests/Zend/Application/Resource/LogTest.php ./tests/Zend/Application/Resource/MailTest.php ./tests/Zend/Application/Resource/MultidbTest.php ./tests/Zend/Application/_files/resources/Autoloaded.php ./tests/Zend/Cache/ManagerTest.php ./tests/Zend/ExceptionTest.php ./tests/Zend/Feed/Writer/DeletedTest.php ./tests/Zend/Feed/Writer/EntryTest.php ./tests/Zend/Feed/Writer/Extension/ITunes/EntryTest.php ./tests/Zend/Feed/Writer/Extension/ITunes/FeedTest.php ./tests/Zend/Feed/Writer/FeedTest.php ./tests/Zend/Feed/Writer/Renderer/Entry/AtomTest.php ./tests/Zend/Feed/Writer/Renderer/Entry/RssTest.php ./tests/Zend/Feed/Writer/Renderer/Feed/AtomTest.php ./tests/Zend/Feed/Writer/Renderer/Feed/RssTest.php ./tests/Zend/Filter/BooleanTest.php ./tests/Zend/Filter/NullTest.php ./tests/Zend/Loader/AutoloaderMultiVersionTest.php ./tests/Zend/Markup/AllTests.php ./tests/Zend/Markup/BbcodeAndHtmlTest.php ./tests/Zend/Markup/FactoryTest.php ./tests/Zend/Markup/ParserIntegrityTest.php ./tests/Zend/Markup/Test/Parser/MockParser.php ./tests/Zend/Markup/Test/Renderer/MockRenderer.php ./tests/Zend/Markup/TextileAndHtmlTest.php ./tests/Zend/Validate/CallbackTest.php
Here are the files with existing SVN property lists.
$ find . -type d -name .svn -prune -o ( -type f -exec sh -c 'grep -q "${svn_kw_re}" "$0" /dev/null && svn proplist "$0"' {} \; ) Properties on 'bin/zf.php': svn:executable svn:mergeinfo Properties on 'demos/Zend/Service/LiveDocx/configuration.php.dist': svn:executable
Since none of them have existing svn:keywords settings, they could be added with this command.
$ find . -type d -name .svn -prune -o ( -type f -exec sh -c 'grep "${svn_kw_re}" "$0" /dev/null && svn propset svn:keywords Id "$0"' {} \; )
Nearly all of these are tests - do we need to add IDs to test files? Personally, I've never bothered...
@padraic: it's not the first time ;)
I'd argue that we not do this. It's looking like a strong possibility (read > 90% certain) that we'll be moving to git for 2.0 development. As such, these svn keywords will lose all relevance, and will have been a bit of a waste of time.
For the record, I'm not suggesting adding anything to test files or even changing a single file, I'm saying you should at least fix Subversion so that the keyword substitution works where keywords are already present.

For nearly 10 years, Mary Ann Wasil Nilan of Milford, Conn., played a policewoman fighting villains on "All My Children." But it was her real-life battle against breast cancer afterwards that gave Wasil Nilan her most meaningful professional role.
She's the founder, CEO and president of the Get in Touch Foundation, a nonprofit whose mission is "to encourage gals of all ages to 'Get in Touch' with their bodies, information and each other in the crusade against breast cancer."
If you're passionate about a cause, Wasil Nilan's inspiring story might motivate you to follow her advice (below) and start a nonprofit of your own.
Turning Lemons Into Lemonade
Wasil Nilan was just 39 when she received a diagnosis of stage 2 breast cancer in 2004. At the time, she was working as director of development for a Catholic school and church. After undergoing chemotherapy, a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery — as well as surgery to repair a previously undetected hole in her heart that caused a stroke during her treatments — she resolved to "turn lemons into lemonade."
As the mother of two adolescent daughters, Betsy and Mary (and a younger son, Eddy), Wasil Nilan decided to find a way to teach young women to "get in touch" with their bodies so they'd be able to recognize any subtle changes that might signal illness and be comfortable enough to let an adult know if they did.
"I immediately began putting pen to paper," recalls Wasil Nilan. Together with a group of friends, she developed the Get in Touch mission statement and began fundraising.
A Heartfelt Sacrifice
The Internal Revenue Service approved the group's nonprofit status in July 2007 and Wasil Nilan began her full-time job at the Get in Touch Foundation in 2008. "I worked there for quite some time with no salary, but it was a sacrifice worth making," she says.

Gray's not a school color. Ugly.

I love them.
I'm liking the gray too. Wonder if this is what Fred has in mind? Thought it would be a little darker but I like our colors on gray.
I actually like them.
Those are tight! I'd prefer a darker gray, but love that we are at least experimenting with alternates. We have an awesome graphics/design department... might as well use them!
Now that MBB is back, do we still have to pretend that WBB matters?

look a little too baggy to me
Very nice
Considering these are the same design as the new men's uniforms, I can definitely see the men getting the grays as well.
Our colors actually stand out from the gray, so I think they will look good. Cardinal and Gold pop off it well. A ton better than say a dark blue or a green.

Don't like the grey but I would say that about most teams.
Our colors do look pretty good on Gray, however, I still prefer Gold as our alternate uniform color.
When Prepared, Fear No One.
love them! wonder why it doesn't say "Cyclones" on it like the men's alternate (which I don't like)
2015 CF Avatar of the Year winner.
Like...i like a little variety in the uniforms, so long as we don't put the MU zodiac on our helmets, ala VT stone helmets.
there is a limit to uniform variety
Hallie looks good in any color. She doesn't mind showing the backside.

Standing outside the performance space, I wait for my girl. Limos pull up. One by one, they disgorge fashionistas. All of them wear black platform spikes and short crinolined skirts and carry logo bags as big as the Ritz. My daughter, my poody-tat-pie, is engaged. The Monique Lhuillier Enchanted Forest bridal show is about to begin.
When I was getting married, my mother came home with a dress. "Look," she said. "Only $125!" It fit perfectly. My mother often bought clothes for me without me. She knew what was "becoming." I treasured her cast-off Beenes and Blasses. But Polly's taste has rarely matched mine. I love vintage; Polly loves cutting-edge. I love my grandmother's hankies; Polly loves tomorrow. Founder and editor-in-chief of beautyblitz.com and a contributing editor at In Style, Polly wears clothes that aren't in stores yet. "You're lucky I didn't give you Esther for a middle name," I used to tease her.
We take our seats in the front row. Music swells. I lean over. "Squeeze my hand when you like something, and I'll squeeze yours," I say.
The models look like extras from Schindler's List. All have white faces, gray circles around their eyes, frazzled hair and tragic lips. If you saw them walking toward you on the street, you'd call an ambulance. But the dresses are gorgeous. I'm squeezing Polly's hand. I'm milking it. She squeezes once.
We meet at a loft that sells wedding gowns. Polly describes with economy what she wants: "Strapless, no froufrou, nothing Cinderella, no hoops, no poufs, matte fabric, not stiff. I want a goddess gown, free-flowing, like I just stepped off the boat from Greece." Two sales associates return with armloads. My daughter strips down to her thong. I can count on two hands the people who have seen me naked. That includes the obstetrician.
How does it feel to see your daughter in a wedding dress for the first time? Cataclysmic. Yes, I see my girl in the gown. But I also see her in multitudes, morphing like a flip-book. I see her with front teeth missing, the braids phase, en route to the prom, in her cap and gown at Columbia. I see her the first time I held her and said to myself, "Patty, if you do your job right, someday she'll leave you." I see all of her, the panoply. It's impossible to speak.
All that high emotion, even though I'm extraneous to the dress decision. I'm here only because Polly wants me to feel included. That's OK. I decided from the day Mark proposed we wouldn't have one argument over anything wedding. Polly's 32. She's extraordinarily competent. This is her day, not my idea of her day.
As it turns out, Polly will find the dress (Reem Acra) while shopping with her fiancé. At the fittings, seamstresses pin, tuck and nip. Polly swirls. "I want it to be as comfortable as my pajamas," she tells them.
"Can you dye it blue and cut the hem after the wedding?" I ask, hoping to amortize the dress.
This evokes the deadly eye roll and two-syllable "Ma-om."
Polly chooses the venue with Mark and lets me know the time and place.
"I think I'm free that night," I say.
My mother scheduled meetings with banquet managers for my wedding. We checked out five fancy hotels, then went with the cheapest. "Anemones are my favorite flower," Mom said, ordering the centerpieces. I had no bridesmaids, because she thought it was ridiculous to stick someone with an ugly dress, even though she had eight in gray chiffon with matching sun hats at hers.
Polly picks a sage silk strapless dress for the bridesmaids. The mothers she tells to wear black.
Hard to believe, but I can't find a black dress I love. Six weeks before the wedding, I'm wailing to my chic friend Muriel about it. "Come on," she says, taking my hand. She introduces me to her dressmaker, Akira Maki, formerly of Halston. Akira makes a sketch based on what I tell him combined with what he thinks will look good on me. Swooshy? I don't swoosh. A cape? What am I, Batgirl?
The Mother of the Bride
My daughter did it her way—and I couldn't be happier
Standing outside the performance space, I wait for my girl. Limos pull up. One by one, they disgorge fashionistas.

20th Anniversary of Andy Hampsten's Alpe d'Huez victory
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
While this year the Tour de France will not be heading up the grand l'Alpe d'Huez but we can still celebrate America's first victory up that climb 20 years ago which was done by Boulder cyclist, Andy Hampsten. Andy became the first American to win the prestige Tour de France stage up Alpe d'Huez. Some have tried to celebrate Andy's performance in the past with the painting of Flagstaff, aka l'alpe d'Flag but city officials killed it quickly.
Stage win video... are there any with Phil Liggett on it?

We are planning a 5 day trip to Barcelona and due to a limited budget we were thinking of staying in Gavà and then travelling to Barcelona, practically every morning. Do you consider this as feasible ? Is Gavà included in the Barcelona Card ? Or do you recommend a better solution ?
Well it's only twenty kilometres from Barcelona, so from that point of view, yeah it's feasible. I've done a similar thing in the past for Valencia; staying just outside of the city. It'll take you about 25-30 minutes to drive to the center of Barcelona from Gavà.
Gavà is also very close to the airport, which may be handy depending on how you are arriving.
But consider - if you weren't planning on hiring a car (or don't have one), then you're adding the cost of a car rental, insurance and petrol to your accommodation (as well as using an hour of your time each day) to stay out of the city you were trying to visit. This also restricts your night time activities if you're planning on drinking.
I'd be surprised if you couldn't find somewhere in Barcelona to stay which works out the same price as commuting from Gavà.
If you're not using a car, and want to use a bus to get into Barcelona, ten bus routes link Gavà to Barcelona, surrounding towns and the most important neighbouring places. For more information contact the Autobusos MOHN bus company, or check the timetables on their website. It would appear they run every 45-60 minutes, depending on the day of the week, although evidently my Castellano is not good enough to find how long it takes.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 7 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brooke060212 Love the style and size Love love LOVE our new coffee table! It's a little smaller than I was thinking (WM does provide dimensions haha) but our living room isn't very big so it goes perfectly in our space. I just love the style and character it adds, very easy to put together and clean! January 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by nancylou nice table this table is perfect for my smaller condo. wanted to get rid of some of the heavy woods in my home. It's light and airy, yet sturdy. has a rustic edgy appeal and. I have the matching round side table. both help to create the look I wanted. November 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by ALRB Excellent This is a nice piece of furniture. It is solid wood with very sturdy legs I am quite happy with the purchase. July 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by famof4 Attractive but susceptible to grease marks We are overall content with this table. It is as pictured, and easy to assemble. The wood seems to be unfinished and grease penetrates into it. So then we gave it a wood oil it to shine it and make it less porous. The wood oil did not add much shine and the table still absorbs grease marks. However, for the price we are still ok with this purchase. April 8, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by jamieb32 Great, unique piece This is a coffee end table that matches the other Simone products on World Market. We also own the end table and console table and they all look great together. The wrought iron feature adds detail to our home and the color of the wood is very unique and go with both light furniture and dark furniture and accents. My only complaint is that it's a bit expensive for what it is. it's a bit on the small side, but maybe it's because of the unique wood and wrought iron that makes it more money. But if it's in your price range then I'm sure you'll be very happy! April 2, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by ballerinagirl Perfect for what I was looking for! I really needed a coffee table that was not too large but, had a rustic look to go with a cream slipcovered sectional. I love wrought iron items and this is perfect :) The legs are heavier than I expected and I like the color of the wood. A nice change from mahogany which is what I always tend to buy!! When I was assembling I did have to bend the "letter i" looking leg frame to match up to the holes. But, other than that no tools required and in 10 minutes it was in my living room! Really love it! Just ordered a Simone end table too. October 27, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by GiaV Nice but.... I really liked the look of this coffee table but after seeing it in person the thing that made it look cheap was the fact that they glued two pieces of wood together for the top. It would have been ok because it's a rustic style, but the seaming was really rough, and the planks were somewhat warped and not sanded together well. October 25, 2013
1-7 of 7


text: My better half is thinking of getting a moped, anybody know what the score is in terms of what type of licence is needed etc. She has held a full driving licence since 2004 and would be looking at getting something small (ie 50cc). I have no idea on this matter unfortunately.

In Return, Barrett Leads Men's Basketball to Season-Opening Win at Buffalo
Junior forward Will Barrett made an immediate impact on his return to the Princeton men's basketball team, drilling a late 3-pointer to seal a 57-53 win in the team's season-opening contest at Buffalo Saturday afternoon.
Barrett also led Princeton with 20 points and a game-high nine rebounds. He didn't play after Nov. 30 of last year due to a foot injury, though he played a big role in Princeton's four-game trip to Spain two months ago.
Princeton led for the entire first half and by as much as eight before Buffalo trimmed the lead to one and began a back-and-forth battle after the break. Sprinting away from a 37-37 tie with less than 12 minutes to go in the second half, the Tigers went on a 10-3 run and never relinquished the lead.
Buffalo threatened with a Tony Watson 3-pointer with 1:27 to go, and game-high scorer Javon McCrea (22 points) split a pair from the line with 41 seconds left to make it 54-53.
That was the last point the Bulls had, as Barrett buried the 3-pointer with 10 seconds left on Princeton's final possession, and the Bulls went empty on their last try.
Princeton will open its home schedule Tuesday at 7 p.m. against Northeastern. The Huskies are also 1-0, beating Boston University 65-64 Friday night.
Postgame notes:
• Barrett surpassed his previous career best in scoring by a considerable margin, topping the 13 points he scored on Jan. 24, 2010 against Goucher. His nine rebounds were also a career high, topping the eight he had in his last game against Lafayette on Nov. 30, 2011.
• Princeton won its opener for the third time in four years. The Tigers beat another MAC foe, Central Michigan, to open the 2009-10 season before beating Rutgers in the opener two years ago.
• Princeton was efficient from the free-throw line, making 13 of 16 for an 81.2% clip.
• The Tigers were not so hot from beyond the arc, starting 0 of 10 but finishing 6 of 23 overall (26.1%).
• The teams shot comparably from the field (34.5% for Princeton, 34.9% for Buffalo), and the Bulls outrebounded Princeton 37-33. Princeton was significantly better with ball security, forcing 18 turnovers while committing only 10 of their own.
• Ian Hummer finished with 12 points, boosting his career total to 1,182 points. He's still in 13th place on the Princeton career list, with Steve Goodrich '98 up next at 1,207.
• Princeton has won three straight against MAC foes after winning the 09-10 opener at Central Michigan and Buffalo's visit to Jadwin Gym last season. The Tigers will face three MAC foes in all this season, with trips to Kent State and Akron coming next month.
• The Tigers played nine players, with junior Chris Clement making his first career start and freshman Hans Brase making his career debut. Brase played 11 minutes, making 1 of 2 free throws for his first career point.
• Ian Hummer tied a career high with seven assists, reaching the total he had last season against Rider on Dec. 14, 2011. T.J. Bray had six assists, one of his career-best total.
• Clay Wilson buried three 3-pointers (3 of 7 tried) on his way to 11 points. The sophomore's previous best scoring total was three points against Brown on March 3, 2012 on the only previous 3-pointer of his collegiate career.

The best way to fight cancer is to have an early detection plan; becoming proactive allows you to detect cancer early on, all of which increase your chances for survival.
According to the American Cancer Society, Florida has the 2nd highest number of cancer cases and deaths of any state, except California. Lung cancer is the leading cause of death in women; meanwhile, breast cancer is the second leading cause of death in American women, 15-53 years of age. Here in Bay County, the most common forms of cancer are: breast, prostate, skin, colon and lung among both men and women.
Local doctors say it is crucial to know what resources are at hand throughout the local community. To learn more about cancer in our community, you can attend the "First Annual Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Symposium" at Gulf Coast Community College on Saturday, February 27th from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
More than 20 doctors currently providing care in the panhandle will not only speak during Saturday's symposium, but additionally answer questions and provide free cancer screenings to those interested.
More Statistic from the American Cancer Society:
•More than 102,200 people will be diagnosed with cancer in 2010
•Almost 42,000 Floridians will die of cancer in 2010• In 2009, the three leading causes of cancer death for all men, were lung, prostate and colorectal cancer.
Overall …
•85% - 90% of lung cancer deaths are caused by smoking.
•On average, mammography will detect 80%-90% of breast cancers in women without symptoms.
• The survival rate for women diagnosed with localized breast cancer is 98%.
•At least half of all colorectal cancer cases could be prevented by regular screening tests.

We're in Charlottesville, VA
Though the video shows the trick close up, it is best viewed from a distance. It is NOT a closeup effect. :-)
Three huge cards are shown- two Kings and a Queen. When the cards are turned over and mixed, it is impossible for the audience to ever choose where the queen is. The location of the Queen is always under your control!
No skill needed! No sleight of hand! It's built into the cards. If you can hold a card in your hand, you can do the trick!
The instructions teach you the Three Card Monte routine, but you can certainly develop your own version easily.
And these are super big cards. Big enough to be seen easily from stage! These are heavy duty full color gimmicked cards.
Plus, this set comes with a padded red wood case! No need to worry about damaging your valuable trick when storing it or transporting it to your show!
And that's all you need!You supply your own base and cover if you want to make a stand like we used in the video.
Make your own variation of this routine! Any time you want, you can turn ALL the cards into Kings and make the Queen disappear. Or, as the ending to the "Follow the Queen" routine, you can say, "Well, it seems you are having trouble following the Queen. I don't know why, though, because ALL THE CARDS ARE QUEENS!"

Unless you live under a rock, you know that Tastemakers is on for this Thursday and Friday evenings. Salt Lake magazine and the Downtown Alliance put their brilliance together to come up with this sipping and savoring around town event for the first time last year. On one ticket you get two nights of tastes from some of Utah's finest chefs, some grouped in the Tasting Pavilion next to Squatters Pub Brewery and some on a stroll around downtown Salt Lake to Ruth's Chris, J. Wong, Naked Fish, Pallet and more. Plus wines to pair with the foods (in various service options because of our darling legislature), plus extra benefits that last all summer long.
We kicked off the event by inviting all the participants to a party at Roth Distributing showrooms where Chef Rubadue served the chefs and restaurateurs a spread of charcuterie and cheese, cheese topped with peppers and baked in pastry and marvelous Thai crab cakes topped with a section of red grapefruit on each one.
A couple of weeks ago, I was invited on a field trip with Ethan Lappe, chef-owner of Caffe Niche, up to Tifie Ranch, where he and his crew get the organic vegetables and eggs (and soon, baby goat) served in the restaurant. Specifically, on this visit, Lappe was checking on the progress of his radishes, which he will harvest in time for Tastemakers.
He's going to make a simple French favorite, perfect for this time of year: a radish and butter sandwich, a beautifully barebones morsel that depends on the contrast between the sharp bite of the root and the creamy butter.
Want to know how to make one? Watch Ethan on KUTV2 Wednesday morning.

Didier Reynders pleased with the United Nations Human Rights Council's acceptance of Belgian's resolution on the children of someone who has been sentenced to death
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders is pleased that the Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva yesterday adopted a Belgian resolution over the rights of the children of someone who has been sentenced to death.
He announced this initiative in his speech to the UNHRC on 27 February. The resolution was adopted by consensus and backed by 67 countries from across the five regions.
The minister feels that this is a milestone in the protection of children and in the fight to abolish the death penalty. It is the first time that the UNHRC has acknowledged by consensus the negative consequences of the death penalty on the rights of children who have a parent that has been sentenced to death or executed.
Among other things, the Belgian resolution provides for a panel discussion among the United Nations during the September session of the UNHRC. This panel will make recommendations to the countries that still apply the death penalty. These recommendations will concern how the countries can better protect the rights of the children of those sentenced to death, and how they can offer these children the right support and protection.
This initiative demonstrates that Belgium remains active in protecting and promoting human rights, even though our country is no longer sitting on the UNHRC as of this year.

Sundance is teeming with directors, stars and wannabes of every flavor. There are wafts of smug cinephilia as Park City resonates with vibes of good-natured and communal celebration of film, dance and music.
Streets are filled with the beautiful people, handbills and the official, radioactive-pink 2012 jackets. But guerilla marketing for films is one area that lacks perfect Zen, as filmmakers fight over the limited space available to hang posters. The five sanctioned kiosks are patrolled daily, receiving blankets of overlapping paper.
"I actually saw a fight between a world-cinema documentary filmmaker and someone else, who had just postered over her poster," said Emilie Chan, a veteran poster-girl. "Gloves come off, and its only day two. There was also a language barrier situation. I had to stop for a moment and let it all soak in."
Mike Christensen has been working with a street team to promote HBO films for 10 years. He has witnessed the poster scene intensify, having posters and personal belongings stolen in past years. "It is a battle for coverage, so it gets crazy and competitive. People get a little agro, but we try not to let it go there. It isn't the energy of the festival."
While well-funded films can have a street team battle for eye-space, some have a "do-it-yourself" mentality, because they don't have anyone else.
"We hope to one day have many, many assistants to do this for us," said Jillian Mayer, who was hanging woopie-cushions to promote Life and Freaky Times of Uncle Luke. "This is our baby. We spent time editing in our living room. We did everything. Happy that we are here on the first day, so we can know that under the layers of posters in a few days, we can be at the core." Mayer hopes to con friends into poster responsibilities, allowing her to enjoy the festival's panel discussions, films, food and concerts.

SC missions return to the U.S.
The final group of students, faculty and staff from Sterling College returned to the United States on June 11, coming back from nine locations from around the world. The teams learned about the other cultures and participated in service projects including working with local churches, teaching in schools, giving out school supplies, preparing meals for distribution and many other tasks.
Director of Missions Rev. Dr. Hank Lederle said, "Sterling College again sent out a number of student teams across the globe. We are deeply grateful for donations from friends and family as well as extensive fundraising efforts which have enabled students to raise the airfares."
Seven of the teams helped local churches and Christian agencies. Lederle said, "Our philosophy is to strengthen the arms of those in long-term ministry. These are service trips which include working with youth and children, putting on vacation Bible school courses, teaching English, doing light construction work, ministry to AIDS victims and people caught up in human trafficking, as well as speaking in churches and experiencing the joy of the unity we have with brothers and sisters across the world through our faith in one Lord, Jesus Christ. Students come back energized by their chance to practice serving others and are excited to continue that practice in their local communities. Hearing about how they have been changed and the work they were able to do is a highlight to my summer."
Serving others was the highlight for team leader and assistant professor Laura Bateman. She said, "We are so grateful for the opportunity we had to serve with fellow believers in Ghana. God did so many amazing things in our hearts throughout the trip. It will be exciting to see how God uses those lessons in whatever He has for us in the future."
