Reviews for Tiny Tim Trifle
"I substituted brown rice flower and splenda, and this still turned out fabulous!"
"Maybe I did something wroong, but this WAS NOT GOOD! The pudding was runny and there wasn't enough of a "Great" taste for the dessert. Sorry, but We didn't like this at all!!!"
"I made with sugar-free brownie mix and added chopped pecans and made sf pudding according to the box directions. I used fat-free Cool Whip and crushed peppermint candy in my Magic Bullet. My family raved over this - delicious!!!"
"So yummy and got a great review at our family Christmas! Only thing I changed was just using the box directions for the pudding instead of the extra milk and mix."
"Oh...and fat free whipped topping has lots of sugar so used less and only on the inner layer. Nothing on top."

@PUSoftball Rebounds From Stunner in Opener to Split at Penn
The first of two days at Penn for the Princeton softball team featured a heartbreaking defeat, an inspiring comeback and ultimately put the Tigers right where they started.
Midway through the teams' four-game series and midway through the Ivy League season, the Tigers (21-13, 6-4) find themselves two games behind Penn (18-15, 8-2) in the Ivy and were three outs away from having pulled even with Sunday's two head-to-head matches still to come.
Penn won the opener 10-9 before Princeton bounced back to win Saturday's nightcap 5-3.
Nine of the opener's 19 runs were scored in a seventh inning that saw Princeton rally, take a three-run lead and give it back to Penn, all without getting an out in the bottom half of the frame.
Princeton entered the third inning trailing 4-1 after a four-run bottom of the first for Penn against Tiger starter Alex Peyton (6-5). Princeton got two of the runs back and had the bases loaded with one out against Penn's Alexis Borden (9-7), but a strikeout, a pop-up and a groundout ended the rally with Princeton still trailing 4-3.
Lizzy Pierce homered in the top of the sixth to make it 5-4 after Penn added a run to its lead in its half of the fifth, but the Quakers got that run right back and led 6-4 heading into the final inning.
Then, the Tigers experienced the whole range of emotions, first on the happier side. With one out, Alyssa Schmidt and Alex Peyton belted back-to-back home runs, with Schmidt's a two-run shot. That made it 7-6 Princeton. After a walk and a single, Cara Worden's single helped to make it 9-6 Tigers, and Princeton stood three outs away from stealing the first game of the series.
But things quickly unraveled. Two singles, a hit batter, a double and a game-winning single for Penn's Jessica Arneson scored four runs for Penn with Princeton unable to record an out, and the game went to Penn 10-9.
Game two was much less dramatic. Four Tigers – Maddie Cousens, Tory Roberts, Rachel Rendina and Candy Button – each had an RBI as Princeton never trailed. The Tigers were up 3-1 after four, scored twice more in the fifth before Penn got those back in the bottom half, and Shanna Christian (7-3) closed it out by keeping Penn off the board.
Christian gave up 10 hits and walked two, striking out five to get the win. Penn's Lauren Li (5-2) took the loss, going 4 2/3 innings and giving up 11 hits and a walk.
The Tigers will begin Sunday's pivotal twinbill at 12:30 p.m. at Penn Park. At Sunday's conclusion, the Tigers will either be tied, two back or four back of the Quakers with eight to play. Both teams will have four-game sets against Columbia and Cornell that will decide the division race before month's end.

Post subject: Interesting Article: Are Wealthy People Less Ethical
Here it is:
At last, an explanation for Wall Street's disgrace, Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme and other high-society crimes and misdemeanors: A new study published in the Proceedings of that National Academy of Sciences found that wealthier people were more apt to behave unethically than those who had less money.
Scientists at the University of California at Berkeley analyzed a person's rank in society (measured by wealth, occupational prestige and education) and found that those who were richer were more likely to cheat, lie and break the law than those who were poorer.
"We found that it is much more prevalent for people in the higher ranks of society to see greed and self-interest as good pursuits," said Paul Piff, lead author of the study and a doctoral candidate at Berkeley. "This resonates with a lot of current events these days."
In the first of two studies, researchers found that those who drove more expensive cars (an admittedly questionable indicator of economic worth) were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at a busy San Francisco four-way intersection than those who drove older, less-expensive vehicles.
In other experiments, wealthier study participants were more likely to admit they would behave unethically in a variety of situations and lie during negotiations. In another, researchers found wealthier people were more likely to cheat in an online game to win a $50 prize.
Greed is a "robust" determinant of unethical behavior, according to the study.
"This has some pretty clear implications," said Piff. "Inequality is very much on Americans' minds, and the potential effects of severe inequality on individual levels of behavior are major."
Large sums of money may give people greater feelings of entitlement, causing those people to be the most averse to wealth distribution, Piff continued. Poorer people may be less likely to cheat, because they are more dependent on their community at large, he said. In other words, they don't want to rock the boat.
"People in power who are more inclined to behave unethically in the service of gains and self-interest can have great effects on society as a whole," said Piff.
And it's difficult to say whether richer people get to the top because of their unethical behavior or whether wealth causes people to become this way. "It seems like a vicious cycle," he said.
Nevertheless, Piff said these results obviously don't apply to all wealthy people. He noted that Bill Gates and Warren Buffett were among the wealthiest people in the world and also the most philanthropic. He also pointed to high rates of violent crime in the poorest neighborhoods in the country that counteract the study's findings.
Piff said he hoped to further his research by figuring out ways to curb these patterns of behavior among wealthier individuals.
"What it comes down to, really, is that money creates more of a self-focus, which may account for larger feelings of entitlement," said Piff. "We hope to further study how we can curb these patterns and how that will affect our social environment."

I'm somewhat surprised by that observation. You'd think wealthy people wouldn't act that way because they have more money than average people, but some of them do. Apparently greed is a more important quality than kindness and consideration to fellow humans. -.-
I say I'm somewhat surprised by that observation because in my personal experience, I can't say the people that I know of that are well off are very kind or considerate and are somewhat greedy and selfish. -.-
I think I read another article of this report, and it was in some health news articles. One of the experiments was where wealthy people were told that a jar of candy located at the entrance of the experiment room was for children only. But when the wealthy people left the experiment room, more of the wealthy people took candy from the jar intended for children than people of a lower income level. -.-
I could say more, but I'll wait for a reply first.

I'm always reluctant to accept studies like this without a healthy dose of salt. For example, that people in expensive cars are more likely to cut off other drivers, indicates to me that they are simply more aggressive than that they have ethical issues about taking turns or that they feel more entitled.

We live in a world that puts so much emphasis on wealth, position and fame (idolizing celebrities) that having some, or all, of those criteria makes some people think that they are more important than people without those things. I actually know some people like that, very unpleasant to be around.

I can see that, come on they think they can have it all without any thoughts on the matter. They have money so why think, not saying all wealthy people are like this but the one's that do this make it seem like they are up there.

I disagree with the study. People who are less ethical are that way because that's who they are and not how much money they have. I think those rich people who were unethical got it from being poor. They had to be unethical to get rich. Half joking aside, I know and have seen plenty of people who either had no education but got rich have no ethics or people who were not poor but middle class who have no ethics. With time, all my personal experiences have shown me that "bad" or "good" people are who they are inside, not determined by financial gains. That'sonly secondary.

How Can I Confirm Menopause?
The most common symptoms women in their 40s notice are changes in periods and the onset of hot flashes. To date, there is no simple test to predict when menopause will occur but research continues.
During perimenopause, hormone tests are often not helpful because hormone levels change throughout a menstrual cycle. Sometimes testing is done to check specific hormone levels, especially with fertility problems or when periods stop at an early age. This can help women make decisions about beginning or adjusting medications. For some women, it may make sense to test for other causes of symptoms that can seem like perimenopause, such as thyroid disease.
Follicle-stimulating Hormone
Sometimes, elevated follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels are measured to confirm menopause, especially in women who have had a hysterectomy and have no menstrual period to follow to let them know what is happening. When a woman's FSH blood level is consistently elevated to 30 mIU/mL or higher, and she has not had a menstrual period for a year, it is generally accepted that she has reached menopause.
However, a single FSH level can be misleading in perimenopause since estrogen production does not fall at a steady rate from day to day. Instead, both estrogen and FSH levels can vary greatly during perimenopause. One elevated FSH level is not enough to confirm menopause. More importantly, a low FSH level in a woman who is having hot flashes and changing periods does not eliminate the likelihood of perimenopause. Also, if a woman is using certain hormone therapies (such as birth control pills), an FSH test is not valid.
Saliva Testing
Some clinicians recommend testing a woman's saliva for estrogen or other hormone levels. Saliva hormone levels are not recommended in this setting and should not be used to evaluate or treat menopausal symptoms.

Once upon a time...
I don't remember anymore if they are Hopi or Navajo or both. Those round clay women with the children gathered around them, called Storytellers. I have long been drawn to them. I have been both of them, the child listening intently to the story which always, regardless of the subject, took on a sense of mystery just in the telling. Hearing the older wise one, where the beginning was strong, the middle was the place where I was lost completely in the tale, and the end always came too soon.
With age I became the teller, trying to desperately to weave the words into a solid fabric of fantasy and fact. I did this as a babysitter when I was in my teens, as a young mother in my twenties, as a reporter in my thirties and forties, and as a grandmother in my fifties. And yet during all these decades I remain very much, maybe even more, grateful to find a story well told.
It is one of the aspects of NPR I have long admired, the feature called StoryCorps, where everyday folks find themselves telling a snippet of their lives, usually in harmony with another family member or friend. Those clever newscasters have tossed their nets out to gather and then shape it to fit, into just a very few minutes on the radio. I travel to other parts of the country and other decades past and live, ever so briefly, through the eyes of another.
Recently a business trip took me the Denver where I had not visited in more than a decade. The once grand Brown Palace seemed dwarfed by all the tall buildings surrounding it.
We drove, I confess around the Cherry Creek area for more than hour, trying to find the former department store turned bookstore -- Tattered Cover. My companion was patient and used her phone to try and find the location but it kept coming up with address (es!) that were miles away. We finally drove to one, a former department store, but it felt slightly off. When I asked the sales person if there was a fourth floor with a small cafe and wine bar, a wistful smile crossed his face.
"THAT Tattered Cover has been gone for years now." He said it with all the respect you would give a lost love who had tragically passed too young. "There are three stores now, all in older buildings, in various parts of town." My companion, at least, had momentary confirmation, that though I may be crazy about many things, the location of once and former grand dame of fiercely independent bookstores, had been in the Cherry Creek area.
I sighed at the memory and the loss. The original store had been introduced to me by a man I was wildly (and as it turned out ) blindly in love with, for more than a decade. He brought me there as a kind of manifestation that he "understood" me. And though we were on a tight clock, for reasons I can't remember now, he offered me two uninterrupted hours, by myself, to explore there. Floor after floor was filled with books of all sizes on every topic imaginable. There were nooks and crannies and overstuffed chairs and places to become quickly lost. Which I did. The hours passed like a too short chapter. I purchased a few books and notecards and a beautiful pen and we raced to the airport to return to Park City.
More than a decade later I returned to Denver to spend 10 days there as a day patient at the National Jewish Medical Center which was rated number for respiratory diseases. If my testing finished early, I would drive around the corners, until I found my way to the Tattered Cover. I would write on the fourth floor in my journal, I would read from yet another new book, and I would pray in that wordless way the doctors would discover why I couldn't breathe, like other people.
They never did. And yet somehow I got well. I always gave part of the credit to those afternoons at the Tattered Cover, escaping with words.
This time, I was also on a clock, out of respect to my co-worker. I gave myself an hour, time enough to gather two armfuls of books and note cards. I had the wisdom to have them shipped to me. I picked them up recently at the post office and saw one of my favorite booksellers from Dolly's Bookstore, on the sidewalk. "I have to confess "I said quickly, "I've been to Tattered Cover in Denver recently. I wasn't disloyal, "I said too fast, and before I could say more, Liza smiled wisely said," Ah you've been on a pilgrimage."
It was such a relief to be so easily understood.
I leave today on my uncountable numbered trip in the past four years, to California to visit my mother in her home for "memory care." Her memory checked out years ago but she is still in residence there, now in hospice care. Her birthday is this week, 89. And someday, maybe, I will find a way to tell some of her stories in a meaningful way. But for this trip I will take with me the book Sue at Dolly's held aside for me yesterday...J.K. Rowling's new work, "The Casual Vacancy." It will serve as a comfort on the plane, in the waiting rooms before the sessions with the doctors, in my hotel room. In the front flap of the book it says, in red bold letters ..."A big novel about a small town...It is the work of a storyteller like no other." I plan to visit that town, get lost there actually, this very Sunday out of The Park...

More: For those who haven't heard of it—what is "slow medicine"?
Victoria Sweet: As doctors, most of us practice "fast medicine," which is kind of like fast food: It feeds you when you're hungry and moves you along. Doctors get the diagnosis, give our treatments and check us out of the hospital as quickly as possible. It's wonderful for what it does. But in the last 20 years, as health care economists have attempted to get ahold of costs they saw doctors' time as expensive. The doctor now ends up with maybe 10 minutes per patient.
At Laguna Honda Hospital I practiced what I call "slow medicine." When I'd first meet a patient, I would typically take about two hours to do a work-up: do a full physical exam, research everything that had been done with the patient, medications, the whole thing. Then I'd come up with the diagnoses and a plan—and I'd have time to institute that plan slowly.

It's been taken away because they thought doctors were expensive and that it would be more efficient to have a nursing assistant or a machine do tests. It's not. In the book I talk about the inefficiency of "efficiency." When everything is on the computer and tightly controlled and documented it ends up costing more money. I save the system money if I take enough time to diagnose a patient.
About a month ago, a national study came out saying that doctors are ordering too many MRIs. They're ordering them for everyone with back pain, and we know that maybe only a quarter of those people need one. If I only have 10 minutes to examine a person with back pain, there's no way I can determine if she needs the scan, so we just order one. MRIs cost around $1800. It might take me an hour to figure out, to my satisfaction, whether a patient needs an MRI. That's what I call the inefficiency of efficiency.
More: How was Laguna Honda different from other hospitals?
It was unlike any hospital I'd ever been to or even imagined. Originally it was called the San Francisco almshouse, which is how we used to take care of the sick-poor before we had insurance. In the 1950s, just about all of them closed, except in San Francisco.
It was on 62 acres of land right in the middle of San Francisco, and yet most people didn't even know that it existed. It had beautiful, open buildings that looked like medieval monastery. There were long open wards that would hold 30 or so patients. There was a barnyard and a greenhouse where patients could watch chickens hatch and grow plants. Laguna Honda was founded not on the idea that healthcare is a service that I provide to you, but that it's a relationship between the doctor and the patient.
More: When did they begin renovating Laguna Honda?
VS: It was halfway through my time there that we were discovered. The health care economists were horrified by our open wards and basically told the city that they had to build a modern facility or they would shut us down. It took about 10 years to get it all done. It finally opened in December 2010. And it's beautiful, it's modern, patients have private rooms, there's halogen lights, there's cameras. There are two swimming pools—it's very gorgeous. And everyone kind of misses the old place.

Looks pretty good Muncken, as you are also using Vudho....do have any issues with displaying debuffs? I tried to disable a few but the just won't disappear..also displaying stacks of debuffs don't work either..for example on yor hc it's lame to click every person in the raid to see how many stacks they got.
My vuhdo works fine tbh shows stacks, and i dont have any major problem with it, i havent changed anything i think with debuff maybe just the position :P
It's funny, but probably 90%+ of these "omg I love your UI can you share it please" requests can be resolved by going to get TukUI or ElvUI yourself. You'll be 98% of the way to having the same UI. Then choose to keep grid or swap to VuhDo or Healbot for raid frames, toss on Skada/Recount, Forte and maybe quartz and some power-auras and you're set. =) ...and nothing wrong with this either. LUI/TukUI/ElvUI are _excellent_ UI packs which I've used myself. I recently went back to oldschool blizzard actionbars, unit frames + vuhdo just for the change, but really, blizz has done a great job with their built-in raid frames recently.
Maybe Elvui doesnt have all the configuration options like everything rest? sure it got lots of configt, and tbh that ui might work for him, but u work best with ur own ui imo, what suits one doesnt suit another

I'd personally go for Target, I find that much more appealing
Yeah i guess its more simple with a plain color than the gloss do u think the height of the playerframe was better than the target?, think i made the player frame 6 pixels higher to 50 pixels , just to see the portrait better.
Personally I dislike big unitframes, they just become too bulky for my taste and also I so no real need to have better view of the portrait as it serves no real purpose. Of course this is just my personal opinion. As I mentioned earler, I still find the target unit frame much more pleasing to the eye
Yeah i think the target frame is the same size as vuhdo, but think i´ll stick to the abit higher player frame for portrait looks , thx for ur replies <3
Boooo portraits boooo. Sigh, and I was liking this Ui
They serve no functional purpose at all and distract from the health bar, and are just distracting in general.
Also, most of the time the portraits don't even display a relevant section of the model as we can see by the lovely view of a nice pair of shoulders in the screenshot.
If you want to have a portrait, go for it, but let's see a relevant part of the model and not have the portrait obstructing important Ui elements.
But everyone uses different parts of their UI if different depending on what works best for them.
U could also say that having a healthbar for a healer serves no function since u got healingframes, so u could aswell just go with a manabar :P, And disabling the portrait is kinda easy if ppl dont want it
Guess its just a personal preference about the portraits, i have no lua knowledge at all but i feel happy that im learning new things everyday,
just by looking at wowapi,other codes ,copying and pasting, trial and errors,

Double-Booked (out August 25) is Robert Glasper's third album for Blue Note, following up Canvas (2005) and In My Element (2007).
The 32-year-old Houston native, who "unfailingly gets the feeling right" (New York Magazine), has made waves throughout the music world as leader of both the acoustic Robert Glasper Trio and the electric, hip-hop-oriented Robert Glasper Experiment. Double-Booked, which is split into two sections, reflects both sides of the pianist's mental states.
The Trio portion contains an astonishing treatment of Thelonious Monk's "Think of One," quoting Ahmad Jamal's "Swahililand" (the chord progression that formed the basis of De La Soul's 1996 hip-hop classic "Stakes Is High"). On the hip hop half, "Butterfly" is originally from Thrust, Herbie Hancock's 1974 landmark album, heightened by vocoder effects and a J Dilla beat called "F— the Police," while the penultimate track "All Matter" is a striking, unclassifiable original by vocalist Bilal Oliver.

You will want this book. I'll say why in a mo. But I'm talking about Greta Christina's first, and quite sensational, book that came out earlier this year but is now available at Amazon for the great price of just $9: Why Are You Atheists So Angry? 99 Things That Piss Off the Godless (or to get the kindle edition click here). I've been sitting on this review until that happened, in the hopes of helping boost her Amazon sales rank. Because with this book, she deserves it.
I usually don't recommend books on my blog unless they are the very best on their topic and I know I can probably defend everything in them (thus many a book I haven't had time to read carefully is just out of luck, even if it happens to be great). Generally, it has to be a "must have" in its category. And this is one of those. I loved it. In fact it's awesome. I've given her a promotional blurb that accurately describes my opinion and reaction to the book, so I'll lead with that:
This just became my number-one book to recommend to all believers and new atheists alike. I thought the field of atheist literature was all just rehashing the same stuff by now. But this is an original, visceral, and ultimately complete defense of not just atheist outrage, but atheism itself. Greta sticks to the undeniable facts-on-the-ground and articulates it all correctly and well, heading off every possible rebuttal with brilliant economy. She never gets bogged down in abstract philosophy, yet still hits every key abstract point, leaving you by the end with no rational reason not to agree, and finally kick to the curb that useless old religion, or get off your bum and really do something for the cause. — Dr. Richard Carrier
And I mean it. This really is the best atheist book to give to a new inquirer about atheism (whether already an atheist or a Christian or anyone else), precisely because it leans so well on hard facts all the way through, so it is very informative and illuminating. It also has the standard chapter on why we don't believe god exists, and it's one of the most economical presentations of a solid case I've seen. A perfect starter for anyone who needs an intro; it's a model even for veterans to follow.
But the bulk of the book is about why religion should not get a pass; why atheists really do have something to be angry about. And not just something. But nearly a hundred things. Greta even covers liberal Christianity and woo just as much as conservative religion, something that often doesn't get done in atheist lit. But the liberal goddies get a fair thrashing here. Indeed this is a model example of how to do that. Christina even tied this into a consistent framework about epistemology and consequentialism (and all without using those boring words). I found that cool.
I am not aware of anyone doing a book like this before. Like my blurb says, I would have thought the field of atheist lit was saturated by now, just rehashing the same stuff, or breaking new ground only in specialized topics. But though her initial "list-of-outrages" approach builds on what is a part of many books (usually just a short list or scattered things in an intro or here and there), no one has put it all in stark, complete order like this, hammering it home item after item. It's really enraging when you see it all in one place; and there really is just no other response possible. That's especially because of the way she ordered the list–it stymies every standard defense by heading it off before it can brew. I love books that do that. I kept going, "Yeah! Right! And that!" And of course all very well written. Then she just gravy trains it through the rest of the book, knocking down every shibboleth the godists have to try and dodge that main chapter's devastating point.
There is a great deal in this book that hasn't been done before, yet should have been. It's a necessary and useful fighting manual, and should be on every activist's bookshelf. It will also get you pumped. And arm you with facts and talking points to wield at parties. So I think every atheist, new and old, should read it.

Filter by media type:
Your part of the programme is Händel's "Saeviat tellus" and Mozart's "Exultate, Jubilate". Did you choose this repertoire for your first concert at La Monnaie?
These are two of the motets from my newly recorded CD – the first album for Decca Classics. Actually, we are going to add a third one to the concert programme: A. Vivaldi's "In furore justissimae irae".
So Händel, Mozart and Vivaldi. Do you have a special love for these composers? Which one touches you most?
I'm deeply in love with this music, with every composer on this programme. These are real masterpieces. You can see that they really loved what they were doing and that the emotions were so deep.
Is this the style you prefer?
I prefer it because my voice prefers it!
Tell us about the pieces. Let's start with Händel.
First of all, it's a very showy piece! This motet is like a concert for the voice: the movements vary greatly in style and mood, painting different pictures. The story is about a storm of which nuns are scared. They compare it with Lucifer making trouble. I'm an onlooker, watching and saying 'Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. You'll be fine, I shall save you!'
That's a nice character to portray!
Yes! Then musically speaking, the wind instruments have a very important role and the voice could be regarded as an instrument. In the first movement and in the final Alleluia especially, it imitates and competes with the hobo.
And who wins?
Friendship wins!
Moving on to Mozart…
It's a piece I started studying when I was very young, aged twelve. It's very emotional for me to sing this and every time I do, I try to reflect, to find something new, because I know it so well and it's such a famous piece. It's fun to sing because it's somehow so operatic, like a triumph of the voice.
What about the added Vivaldi?
It will be something very different, because "In furore" is a very dramatic piece.
In what sense, dramatic?
Well, there's something special about the first movement: I had to really think and to get used to its mood. Although it's quite simple in writing, it has incredible inner tension. Also, the orchestra play really staccato, as if pinching you. I find it very stimulating, especially because I really like Il Giardino Armonico. Sometimes, I'm really scared because they play so well and deeply, that it's difficult for me to start the line. I have to start with "In furore, justissimae irae" and really jump in and take charge. I'm not this kind of person, I'm not like that in real life!
But you have a lot of energy!
Yes, but it's not the same energy. It's a kind of demonic energy. This first movement really scares me. Though I could say the first movement is not really "me", the second one is! It's the complete opposite, requiring incredible static emotion. Like this scary moment when, after the storm, everything freezes... You're petrified! Anything can happen, you don't know what to expect. The lines are really endless – I find this part unique.
Last time you were here, it was for Les Huguenots. Do you prefer concerts or staged opera performances?
I think in a way concerts are easier. I need more experience on the operatic stage and so at the moment I cannot really say. Urbain in Les Huguenots was my first and, so far, only full stage operatic experience.
When you say concerts are easier, do you mean it's easier for the voice or for the stress and emotions?
It's something I started doing when I was very young and that I'm used to. You don't have to act so much. It's a different, minimal type of acting: just facial expressions and your eyes are involved. You concentrate fully on the music and on the colours in the voice. Whereas in opera, you have to think about the action as well. I think it's easier to be more interesting in opera, even if you don't do much. In concert, you have to do more.
You've worked with Maestro Antonini before. What is it like to work with him?
Giovanni is very easy to work with. We are friends and partners in music. There is nothing we disagree about. When we prepared the programme, we studied and discussed in detail, the moods and how to create different sounds for each motet. I treasure these moments most, as well as the result, but even more the process. In a musician's life, it is most important to find musical friends, understand each other and not have to explain anything. You just sing and play, improvise and make music – this is our language.
Il Giardino Armonico is a baroque ensemble. Do you have to adapt your singing to this kind of orchestra, compared to a regular one?
In the process of making music with different people, as a member of a team, you adapt without knowing. That's how I experience it. It's very important that if you are in a group, you do not force things. You're part of it. Especially with this music, which is so instrumental.
You seem very attached to the people around you...
I treasure the fact that if we are born with talent, we shouldn't keep it to ourselves. It's something you need to give. Of course, not to overdo it in order not to lose it. Because it's a gift and you will not get it back if you lose it. It's for people. Otherwise why would we work hard for so many years? For ourselves? That wouldn't be fair! We have to give. With the hope that people find what they are looking for and afterwards, leave with a peaceful soul.
Do you also have this peaceful soul when you sing?
Well, I have to say, I'm an extremely nervous person on stage. And especially in preparation. A few days before a concert, I get extremely nervous. When you feel you have done well, you try to improve even more next time. I find it very demanding, but also very exciting. It's the best part of the profession, I think. You never stop...

What to Expect
TRAVEL: Most of our destination require a great deal of traveling, the one exception to this would be Harvey, IL. All other trips will require 7-16 hours of travel by van. All spring service trips will depart from and return to campus.
The trips traveling by van can be somewhat long since there will be 5-6 people and their belongings pilled into the van. Since you will not know everyone on your trip this is a great time to get to know each other better!
For groups traveling by van and whose destination is more than 7 hours away, you will be staying overnight at the halfway point. This could be at a Valpo Alum's house or at a church depending on your destination.
Typically the vans will stop twice during each full day of travel; once for gas and the other for lunch. All members of the group are expected to pay for their own meals during travel.
HOUSING: For most trips you can expect to be staying in a church that has been converted into a service center for volunteers. They typically have have bunk style sleeping arrangements where volunteers bring their own sleeping bag or linen and pillow. Men and women are separated.
There are typically multiple single showers with some privacy. Shower times are limited because of the number of people that need to use them. Shower shoes are encouraged. Again, men and women are typically separated.
Some light chores are asked of those staying onsite. This can include preparing meals, sweeping, mopping and other household style chores. This helps keep the facility clean and keeps maintenance and staff costs low. Everyone is expected to participate in in the completion of assigned tasks.
MEALS: Most volunteer sites will provide 3 meals a day for volunteers. This may include a cold breakfast (cereal, fruit, milk and juice) a sack lunch that you pack for yourself and a hot dinner prepared by fellow volunteers.
Depending on your location, you may choose to eat some meals in the city or town that you are staying in. This can be determined as a group.
THE WORK DAY: Each day you will be expected to rise early (usually by 7am) to get breakfast, pack a lunch and depart for your work site for the day. Most days you will work from 9am until noon when you break for lunch for about a 1/2 hour. Then you will work from 12:30pm until between 3-5pm depending on the project. Most often you have returned to the site by 4pm where you can shower and prepare for dinner or other activities. Some sites will offer guest speakers, free time and/or others site seeing opportunities. No mater what the destination participants are expected to participate in reflection each day.
REFLECTION: Student leaders and trip advisers will lead a reflection period each day to help students process their experiences while on the trip. Each member of our group is expected to participate in discussions and reflections about the trip.Seeing the hard times and challenges of others can be an emotional experience and our student leaders and trip advisers will be trained to help participants process those experiences.
FREE TIME: Each trip will have small amounts of free time. Depending on your destination, you may have the option of exploring the surrounding neighborhood/city or you may be hanging out at the housing site. If students choose to explore they cannot, for any reason explore alone! Students are expected to travel in at least groups of 2. Trip advisers and staff at the volunteer site will determine when students can leave the site. Students are welcome to bring a book or journal but are asked to leave large academic books, laptops and tablets at home. There is not a great deal of room in the vans once everyone is loaded in and these items can take up a lot of space not to mention breaking or being stolen. The University will not take responsibility for any lost or stolen items during the trip.
Most of the housing sites will have entertainment of some kind available. Things like basketball courts, board games, small libraries and other items may be available. Again, this will depend on the site you are staying at.

[New] The sixth edition of An Introduction to Internet Governance has just been translated to French and Thai. It is also being translated into Spanish and Russian.
Although Internet governance deals with the core of the digital world, governance cannot be handled with the digital-binary logic of the true or false, or good or bad. Instead, the subject demands many subtleties and shades of meaning and perception, requiring an analogue approach, covering a continuum of options and compromises. The aim of the book An Introduction to Internet Governance, by Dr Jovan Kurbalija, is to provide a comprehensive overview of the main issues and actors in the field through a practical framework for analysis, discussion, and resolution of significant issues.
- Download the latest edition in English
- Access the online version
- Visit the Internet Governance blog
The fourth edition is available in Serbian/BCS, French, Armenian and Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia). Translated versions of an earlier version of the book, titled Internet governance: Issues, Actors and Divides, are available in French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Chinese, and Portuguese.
Corporate governance is taking it too far on many occasions, the Interet is the last bastion of freedom and unfettered thought sharing and interactivity. Lets hope the government stays out and lets free markets rule the Internet space into perpituity.
Will there be an undated version of this book? I've searched and the latest I've found is 2010..?
I would like to read this book. Any source of it on where to buy?
SBS Group SG
Dear Participants,
Internet governance is not well understood by many users in Kenya.They keep asking me what is internet governanace and what use does it have to the consumers?
The same issue is not also understood even by many goverment officials in Kenya who live in an environement with all the facilities.
I think that this training on Introduction to Internet Governance which is beginning next week on the 11th is really needed and l would request the outhorities to permit participants from less developed countries to learn more about this subject.

Failed experiment
By Falmouth rn
from Portland ME
Comments about NYDJ BARBARA MODERN BOOTCUT – LONG:
This failed trial is on me because I am a plus size 18 and 5ft 11in tall and due to the lack of length choices in plus size decided to try my size in a tall 18. Bad choice as they do not even come close to fitting. I really wish that there were choices in length for plus sizes. Some of us are tall and need more than a 32.5 inch inseam, especially when we wear heels. These are great jeans but this is a major shortcoming in my opinion. What are we tall plus sizes supposed to do?
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Herbs
Herb Gardening Basics
by National Gardening Association Editors
Over 15 million households in the United States grow herbs--in vegetable and perennials gardens, in containers, or on windowsills. And with good reason! In addition to their obvious role in cooking, herbs are also attractive and add color, interesting textures and forms, and rich or subtle fragrances to the home and garden.
Uses for Herbs
The most popular use for herbs is in cooking, and nearly every recipe can be enhanced with the addition of appropriate herbs. Can you imagine tomato sauce without oregano? Thanksgiving stuffing without sage? Some dishes are defined by the herbs they contain--pesto without basil just isn't pesto!
Herbs have many other uses as well. Many types make wonderful teas, either as individuals or combined in blends. Chamomile makes a soothing tea for unwinding after a hard day. Bee balm (Monarda) makes a tangy tea with citrus overtones. And in addition to being tasty, mint teas aid in digestion.
Many herbs are also believed to have medicinal properties. The echinacea that has become popular as a cold remedy is extracted from the purple coneflower, a common garden perennial.
Of course many gardeners grow herbs simply because they are attractive and durable plants. Bee balm not only makes a tasty tea, it is also a reliable perennial with lovely red, pink, or white flowers. And chamomile's daisly-like blooms brighten up any sunny border.
Where to Plant
Plant herbs where you can get to them easily for frequent harvesting, especially if you plan to use them in cooking. Consider planting a special kitchen garden near the house, so you can readily harvest herbs, greens, and other frequently-used crops. You can also grow herbs in containers or even window boxes.
Most herbs prefer full sun--at least 6 hours per day. Herbs that will tolerate some light shade include chives, cilantro, dill, and mint. Remember that if you plant perennial herbs in the vegetable garden, keep them in a separate section so you'll be sure to avoid them during spring and fall tilling.
Types of Herbs
Like all garden plants, herbs can be categorized as annual, perennial, or biennial. Annual plants grow for only one season and so must be planted each spring. Perennials live for several years. Their foliage dies back in the fall, but the roots overwinter and resume growth the following spring. And biennials grow for two years, growing foliage the first season, overwintering, then forming seeds and dying back at the end of the second season.
Annual Herbs
- basil
- chamomile
- cilantro
- cumin
- dill
- fennel
Perennial Herbs*
- catnip
- chives
- lavender
- lemon balm
- lovage
- marjoram
- mint
- oregano
- rosemary
- sage
- tarragon
- thyme
*These are not all hardy in all regions of the country. Check zone ratings.
Parsley is one of the few common herbs that is a biennial. However, unless you want to harvest the seed, you can treat it like an annual and plant new plants each season.

After a year in her position as northern district secretary for the county judge's office in Stuttgart, Eunice Nutt of Ethel is more comfortable in her job and performing her duties on a daily basis.
"I am learning every day about this office," Nutt said. "It is very busy here, but I enjoy the office very much."
Nutt said she has been in the northern district office for nearly one year and spent seven and a half years prior working for the United States Postal Service in Stuttgart.
"She is doing a good job, and we are proud to have her," Arkansas County Judge Glenn "Sonny" Cox, said. "There is a variety of duties that the office in Stuttgart handles."
Cox explained the office posts a great deal of waste management payments, any kind of the road department needs in Arkansas County, makes sure the green waste management cans are on the roadways and handles the drainage problems of all areas of Arkansas County.
The county office employees are crossed trained, because each county employee needs to know other jobs to take over in case of a family emergency.
"It is essential for the public to have the offices open during regular office hours," Cox said. "The public depends on us."
Nutt, a St. Charles native, is married to Danny Nutt and the couple has one son, Chris Nutt, who is a student at Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas.

ZF-1970: Implement ArrayAccess in Zend_Db_Table_Rowset_Abstract
I'm not sure if there was a reason this wasn't implemented, but if there's not could we add the ArrayAccess interface to Zend_Db_Table_Rowset_Abstract?
Actually perhaps this isn't required. I wanted it in order to get around a problem I was having, but I've thought of a much better solution now. Still, if there is a valid use for it it might not be a bad idea.
Assigning to [~bkarwin] to initiate issue review.
Hmm, it's tempting to agree that ArrayAccess implementation would be helpful, but I wonder if we can see some use cases and evidence of support for doing so from others? Put another way, perhaps people can tell us why they need it?
To be honest I don't need this in any code I'm currently working on any more. But I can certianly imagine situations where you might want to pull out one or more rows. And given that there isn't even a method to set the iterator pointer, the only way to interact with a Rowset object presently is via a loop, starting from the first row.
Hopefully others will post some specific use cases.
ZF-2013 has a patch attached
Please categorize/fix as needed.
This doesn't appear to have been fixed in 1.5.0. Please update if this is not correct.
Resolved in revision 11987
Changing issues in preparation for the 1.7.0 release.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carmel stocking stuffer I needed stocking stuffers for Christmas and besides the normal candy I needed cool stuff. Saw the mouth harp and knew that my son-in-law (who is a musician) would love this! He did and his nephew also wanted one. January 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by McHarpies Excellent! I bought this to bring to the office for a laugh, and that's just what it did! Easy to use, authentic sound, great value. The only issue I had was user error - I chipped my tooth while in the early-learning stages. Be careful! Although my mishap had nothing to do with the product, it is advisable to use care when learning - no joke. Overall, I was and still am very happy with my purchase. Continues to bring amusement. :) March 27, 2013

Beauty, the Break-Up, and Bouncing Back
Ellen Barkin is feeling a lot of love these days in her hometown of New York City. Fans cheer her in the street, at the supermarket, in the nail salon. They holler their support from passing cars. "I've been getting a lot of shout-outs," she says with a laugh. "It feels really good. I have eight million people watching my back."
New Yorkers feel protective of their Bronx-born girl, having witnessed her acrimonious, high-profile split from billionaire Revlon chairman Ron Perelman, which began last January when she was surprised with divorce papers; in February she was ushered out of their Upper East Side town house by security guards. During Barkin's seven-year relationship with Perelman (they were married for nearly six years), she was largely absent from the screen, reportedly because Perelman preferred that she stay close to home. Given the film industry's notoriously short attention span, that's a long time to be away.
But after a painfully raw year and a half, Barkin has come roaring back, landing the female lead role in this month's Ocean's 13, alongside Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Matt Damon, and her Sea of Love costar, Al Pacino. She has started a production company. She's writing a novel. She is dating again. And, at 53, she looks sensational. Lounging in Cafe Cluny in the West Village, Barkin is trim and chic in her black Dior Homme pants, stiletto boots, and slim navy Lainey Keogh sweater. Her hair is the perfect shade of buttery blond, her skin luminous and supple. It's hard not to immediately bombard her with questions: "Who's your facialist? Where did you get those glasses?"
Fortunately, she's a sharer. In fact, she practically provides store hours. "I'm not one of those people who hides her beauty secrets because I'm afraid someone's going to look better than me," she says. The glasses: Paul Smith. Her facialist: Cristina Radu, in Los Angeles, and no, she doesn't use Botox (more on that later). Barkin is the most delightful company: warm, cerebral, tough, funny. Her two favorite expressions are "quite frankly" and "spectacular," which neatly sum up a person who tells it exactly like it is and refuses to be jaded or cynical, no matter what life throws her.
After Seven Years, a Second Act
"I had a bad run for seven years," she says. "I mean, I don't want to compare it with real tragedies. But I feel like some sort of survivor, quite frankly." Her life finally turned upward last spring. At the time, a fragile Barkin was staying at the beach house of a friend, stylist L'Wren Scott, who gave her some ground rules. She was allowed to cry, talk about the past, and brood freely until seven o'clock at night. After that, she was done.
One morning, Barkin was on the beach, doing her customary five-hour cry. She had her cell phone nearby to keep in touch with her son Jack, now 17, and daughter Romy, 14. They were staying with their father, Barkin's first husband, Gabriel Byrne, whom she calls a good friend. "They were there because it was a difficult time for everybody, and also," she says, pausing to laugh sharply, "they didn't have anywhere else to live."
It was uber-producer Jerry Weintraub, whose latest project was Ocean's 13, phoning to ask how she was doing. "At that point if a stranger said 'How are you?' I always burst into tears," she says. Well, he told her, in 30 seconds you're going to feel a lot better. The movie's leading female role was hers if she wanted it. Barkin was elated. Weintraub was too. "I'm 69," he says. "I've been doing this a long time, and it's rare to be able to make a call like that one."
On the Set of Ocean's 13
What better tonic for depression could there possibly be than to fly to Los Angeles and Las Vegas to act with Clooney, Damon, and Pitt? "I hadn't worked, with two or three exceptions, for seven years," she says. "And when I did, it took an enormous toll on my personal life. So the idea that I was going to be able to work free and clear — and enjoy what I was doing — was so great." She grins wickedly. "Plus I was the only girl for miles, so everybody was happy to see me."
Weintraub says that even though the Ocean's group was close-knit, from two prior films together, Barkin fit in immediately. "As much as she's feminine and beguiling and sexy, she's also one of the guys," he says. "She can get right down in there and talk like a sailor, and the guys appreciated that." Barkin's character, he adds, is not a shrinking violet either — not a girl, but a woman with experience and character. "She's glamorous," Weintraub says. "But she doesn't hide her age. She lays it all out there. She's not trying to be 18, which is great. She looks fantastic, is dressed beautifully."
Indeed, Barkin's wardrobe was another thrill. "If you ever wanted to be in a more attention-getting wardrobe, you couldn't dream it better," she says with relish. The clothes, designed by L'Wren Scott, were all pink. "Not baby pinks," Barkin clarifies, "heart-stopping fuchsias."
If that wasn't enough, the mood on the set was downright giddy. "If I had had to play some woman who has some horrible thing happen to her, I would have had a nervous breakdown," she says. "But I was so excited to go to work. Al [Pacino] and I would say, 'Boy, aren't we lucky to be here?' Just giggling and happy."
Moving Past Divorce
She pauses for a moment, suddenly pensive. It's clear that she has not completely recovered from the ordeal of her divorce, but it's equally apparent that this is a woman who can take care of herself. "At a certain point, my self-protection mechanism kicks in," she says intently. "And when it does, I know what to do. I'm not going to roll over and play dead. Once I get the fact that you're kicking me in the head, I'm gonna grab your foot and twist your leg off." Last fall, she auctioned off all the lavish jewelry that Perelman had given her at Christie's: the immense 22-plus-carat diamond ring, the period jewels, the emerald and diamond cuff. The sale netted over $20 million, among the top four single-owner jewelry sales in history.
Barkin says that the sale was not motivated by revenge. "It was practical," she says with a shrug. "Quite frankly, I couldn't afford the jewelry, and I would have never worn it. I didn't want to look down at my hand and feel bad about myself. When it's done, it's done for me. I move on." She sighs. "It doesn't ever go away, and you don't want it to go away," she says. "You want scars to remind you. But, you know, I think about the course of a life, and I didn't think at this age I'd get to rediscover myself." She leans forward. "I remember turning 40 and really feeling spectacular, like, I feel substantial, I feel like I take up space. I know who I am, I know my strengths and weaknesses — and now I'm going to figure out what to do with them. And I feel like that again. I feel awake."
The first part of your life, she says, "is a process of figuring out who you are, what you do, what you like to do, how you relate to people, and the second half is 'Now what are you going to do with it?' And I think that's certainly the more important act."
On Aging
Barkin's first act began in the Bronx, where her father was a chemical salesman and her mother was a hospital administrator.
She took acting classes while attending Hunter College but couldn't pluck up the courage to audition until she was 26. "I had such low self-esteem in my 20s, no sense of self," she says. "I never spoke." Despite career-making roles in Diner, Sea of Love and The Big Easy, she wasn't comfortable with her unconventional good looks until she was in her mid-30s. "In my 20s, I was obsessed with my big, fat, round moon face," she says. "Then I got older, and now I think, thank god for that fat face, because I feel like I still look good."
That's putting it mildly. Barkin looks better now than she did a decade ago. "I never have age issues, quite frankly," she says. "Look, I have frivolous things that I think about — my neck getting old and things like that. But if I see a gorgeous 23-year-old, I think, wow, she's not even as pretty as she's going to be."
Not that she's pretending that looking great is effortless. "Listen, I do everything I can to keep myself looking good," she says, including gym visits three times a week. "And I am massively hysterical about skincare." She puts "eight things" on her face every time she washes it, has facials, and regularly gets the collagen-boosting treatments Thermage and Fraxel. One step that is definitely not part of her regimen is Botox. "The whole Botox craze, what it says to me is 'I am desperately unhappy with where I am in my life's journey, I don't like it, I want to disguise it, I want to erase it,'" she says. "Like, 'I'm not comfortable being 30, 40, 50, 60.' And I have issues with that." She shakes her head. "I don't want to see someone I've watched in movies for 20 years and not know who they are, with their eyebrows somewhere in the middle of their hairline."
She has a similar reaction when she sees women on the far side of 40 running around in microminis. "Some people would say, 'Look, if she can get away with it, more power to her.' F—- that! It looks crazy!" She laughs. "It doesn't mean you have to walk around in matronly things. And look, I'm guilty sometimes. I'll pull out a pair of pants that still fit, but luckily I have a teenage daughter who tells me to stop. You want the whole package to look appropriate."
She Knows What She Wants
Barkin freely admits that she would be "panicked" if her life began and ended with being a Hollywood actor, but it doesn't. "I don't need that affirmation from outside my intimate, private world," she says. "I'd rather someone tell me I was a great friend or have my kids say thank you for something." She has a rich existence, brimming with friends and family, and, yes, the occasional date. Well, she wouldn't call them dates. "I go out with men," she says, adding that she usually meets them at events around town. But her friends know better than to set her up, because she refuses to have dinner with strangers. "You think, why am I here?" she says, rolling her eyes. "And if it's a great dinner, why are we having dinner? Why don't we just go home? I mean, isn't that the more important connection?" She raises an eyebrow and continues, "Like, why are we eating dinner in a restaurant? Let's first see if the sex thing works, and then we could go have dinner."
Barkin would usually rather be at home than in a restaurant, anyway. This is a woman who is such a serious homebody that when the herniated discs in her back flare up, she thinks, oh good, I can stay in bed for two weeks. She would rather have a long phone session with a friend than meet her for a meal. She is most content making dinner for her kids, watching a movie, having a bath (no showers — she finds them "too jolting"), and climbing into bed to stay up late with a book. And her new town house in the West Village happens to be a short walk to Applehead Pictures, the production company that she started with her brother, George (a writer and former editor-in-chief of the National Lampoon), and former IFC Films executive Caroline Kaplan. They have five films in development, including an adaptation of The Easter Parade, the Richard Yates novel, and The Dwarf, a book by Nobel Prize-winner Par Lagerkvist. Adapting books to film has been especially rewarding for Barkin, because she's a voracious reader. Her current favorite is No Name, by Victorian writer Wilkie Collins.
"Ellen is exceedingly smart," Kaplan says. "She's familiar with so many authors and genres of literature that it's been really exciting." She laughs. "And she's hysterically funny, just fun as hell to work with. My husband said to me the other night, 'Could you get off the phone with Ellen? It's one in the morning, and you're not even talking about work!'" Kaplan says that the guys who bring mail to the office try to time their deliveries to arrive when Barkin is there. "They say, 'When's boss lady in?' They love seeing her. People seem pretty happy to be around her everywhere she goes, from construction workers to supermodels."
Looking Good
As it happens, it's about time for Barkin to head back to the office. She finishes off the last of her omelet and french fries, then gathers her black Balenciaga coat. We step out into the street. She loves this section of the West Village. It's the same neighborhood in which she has lived on and off since she was 18 years old. She points to the direction of her town house. "It's right over there," she says. "It's beautiful, but I'd rather have an apartment, quite frankly. I don't like being responsible for a house. I don't want to shovel snow." She flutters a hand dismissively. "I want to pick up the phone and say, 'My bathroom is leaking' and hang up." The town house has a garden out back, but you won't catch her digging in the dirt. "I'm a New Yorker," she says. "I wouldn't care if I never saw a tree again in my life. I was thinking last year, maybe I should garden. And then I thought, nah." She laughs, offers a big hug and turns to leave.
A knot of construction workers is watching her as she crosses the street, her bright blond hair catching the light. "Hey, Ellen," one of them yells. "Ellen Barkin!" He holds up a beefy fist in salute. "Looking good, girl."

The 26-year-old Seaford man who allegedly damaged the fountain and other town property in an April 22 alcohol-related crash was arrested on May 14.
According to the Georgetown Police Department, an arrest warrant was obtained for Nestor Ramirez and he was taken into custody at his Seaford residence. Police said he was charged with DUI and numerous traffic offenses. He was released on an unsecured bond with a future court date.
According to the GPD, Ramirez was observed by police at about 2:45 a.m. operating a vehicle at a high rate of speed on W. Market Street. Police said the vehicle entered The Circle, but failed to turn right and continued heading east. Police said the vehicle struck a curb and a fire hydrant, then stopped on The Circle after striking the fountain.
Police said they could smell alcohol on Ramirez's breath, and he appeared to have received head injuries from the crash. He was transported to Beebe Medical Center for further evaluation.
Police said charges were pending the results of a blood test conducted on the day of the crash to determine whether Ramirez was indeed under the influence.
Police said Ramirez has been charged with traffic violations in the past, including a 2009 driving while under the influence of alcohol charge. Police said Ramirez does not have any criminal charges on his record.
