Learning that your child has cancer usually gives parents a feeling of their world being turned upside down. Everything in their life may suddenly feel out of control. This is because you did not choose for your child to have cancer. Your initial thoughts may be "How could this have happened to my child?" and "How will we get through this?"
A cancer diagnosis is shocking and overwhelming. However, prognosis of childhood cancer continues to improve, and the chance of being cured continues to increase.
Grieving is a normal response to a loss. The loss can include the loss of your previously healthy child, the loss of your normal daily routine, the impact of the diagnosis on other family members, and the financial impact of the diagnosis. The grieving process varies from person to person in terms of the order in which one experiences the stages of grief, as well as the time it takes to go through the stages of grief. The child with cancer, the parents, siblings, and other family members, will all experience grief. Grief is usually divided into five stages:
Going through the grieving process is the best way to cope with a cancer diagnosis. By giving yourself, your child, and your family permission to grieve, you will be able to cope.
Some practical things that you can do to help during this time include the following:
Other parents or acquaintances may want to talk to you about their experiences with cancer. They may believe that they are being helpful to you, but instead may be making your situation feel even more overwhelming. It is important for you to avoid these discussions if they are not helping you. It is healthy to be "selfish" and ask for what you need, as well as what you do not need during this time.
The following is a list of suggestions for patients, parents, and siblings that may help each individual cope with his/her emotions, depending upon the age of the child with cancer and the age of the siblings:
Infants and very young children (birth to 3 years of age):
Toddlers, pre-school (3 to 5 years of age):
School-aged children (6 to 12 years of age):
Adolescents (13 to 18 years of age and older):
The various members of the cancer team can assist your family, as needed. The seriousness of a cancer diagnosis and the difficulties of treatment cannot be forgotten. There is good news. In looking at groups of patients, more than 70 percent of children and adolescents are cured of cancer. The statistics are even better for some specific types of cancers.

A bee virus spreading from honeybees to their kin, wild bumblebees, may lead to serious consequences if this deadly disease hitting these buzzing insects isn't managed soon. With populations shrinking at an alarming rate, one animal expert says that overall bee numbers are declining in areas ranging from Europe to the U.S. to Asia. The Epoch Times reports this Thursday, Feb. 20, 2014, that the illness that first struck honeybees is causing even more damage to the bumblebee populace than their kin due to higher susceptibility.
While wild bumblebees may not be transferred from farm to farm for honey like domestic honeybees are, the bee virus spreading among commercialized animals to their cousins is leaving only ruin in its wake. These yellow and black animals constitute a considerable amount of the world's pollination in terms of both food and flowers, particularly greenhouse tomatoes. The disease harming these bumblebees is even said in one study to be due to a large influx of spillover parasites, disease, and pathogens from already controlled honeybee hives.
"Wild populations of bumblebees appear to be in significant decline across Europe, North America, South America and also in Asia," said study author Mark Brown of the University of London.
Several related studies have also hinted that this massive bee virus is spreading on both sides from both honeybees to wild bumblebees and back. As stated in Brown's finding, his study is the first examination conducted on these animals' disease in a large scale investigating a number of potential parasites. A total of 750 bees in over 25 regions were closely monitored throughout the UK, while his research lab scrutinized captive bees infected with the virus up close.
While shrinking bee populations may not seem a serious threat initially, insect experts say that there is a very important connection (complex and distant though it may be) between bee cycles and human life.
It is believed that the honeybees are spreading the disease to wild bumblebees unwillingly after the bumblebees visit the same flower that the infected animals already pollinated. A co-author of the bee virus study noted that although there remains no concrete proof that the virus is being spread from cousin to cousin just yet, it is a very possible theory due to infection rates of bumblebees being linked to that of their honey-loving kin.

George Benson: Giblet Gravy
Giblet Gravy
George Benson (guitar)
Giblet Gravy (Verve 543 754)
George Benson (guitar), Eric Gale (guitar), Herbie Hancock (piano), Ron Carter (bass), Billy Cobham (drums), Ernie Royal (trumpet), Snooky Young (trumpet), Jimmy Owens (trumpet), Pepper Adams (baritone sax),
Johnny Pacheco (congas), Alan Raph (bass trombone).
Arranged and conducted by Tom McIntosh. Composed by George Benson.
Recorded: New York, February 5, 1968
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
At the time of this session – not his first, but certainly his best at this stage of his career – George Benson was only 25 and had just recorded a few tracks with Miles Davis. With two of the latter's sidemen in the rhythm section of this 10-piece band, the rising guitar star from Pittsburgh carves a typically groovy and efficient tune, with the help of a skillful arranger. The relaxed swinging horn riffs are a perfect cradle for a magnificently built guitar solo that gathers momentum and speed as it develops, alternating crystal clear single lines and tightly knit chords that would become some of Benson's trademarks.

I enjoyed watching everyone flex their bloggy muscles during June, but maybe we need another exercise to keep up the impetus. I'm being selfish here – I want to read more Australian library blog posts… And maybe some people who did not join in in June could test the waters?
Bobbi Newman from the Librarian by Day blog has been behind the "Day in the Life of A Librarian" project for the last couple of years. Every six months an ever-growing group of librarians is recording what happens during the same week. Here are the instructions from her blog post, Round 5 of Library Day in the Life!.
The only suggestion I would make is that as well as joining the wiki, we could tag all our posts "
ozlibdayinthelife5" . UPDATE 26 JULY 2010. The generic tag is "libday5" , so let's go for "ozlibday5" instead.
So, who's in?
July 26th 2010 will start Round 5 of Library Day in the Life Project.
What is the Library Day in the Life Project? well it started with this post suggesting that we blog what we do all day at work. Libraries are changing so rapidly and we all know no ones is reading books, despite what the public may think The idea being that you're sharing an average day, so many of us don't have an average day though so a lot of people did a week, me included. I maybe just do a day this time though, we'll see.
If you are wondering why you should participate Meredith Farkas offers an excellent explanation of why she did. The Project has turned into a great resource for students, instructors, staff and patrons.
So how you particpate?
- Go to the wiki
- Create a PB Wiki (pbworks?) account (it's free)!
- Add your name, your job title (so we can see what you do at a glance) and a link to your blog.
- On the 27th start recording your day or week. It doesn't have to be a blog post it can be photos, podcasts or videos
- Tag your posts, pictures, videos, podcasts with librarydayinthelife.
- After you've finished your first day come go back to the wiki and edit your link to link directly to your tagged blog posts, videos or photos.
Of course read along!

Quoting Lute Olson. . .
What are you thoughts on Kirk Waltersˇ? medical hardship?
ˇ?We expected that Kirk was going to be granted the medical hardship because it was obvious that the mono was keeping him from participating last year.? I was confident that would happen, but Iˇ?m glad to see that itˇ?s been done so we can count on him being back.? From the standpoint of his preparation this summer and fall, itˇ?s important that he knows that right now.ˇ±
ˇ?Heˇ?ll be here all summer.? Heˇ?s working hard in the weight room, doing a lot of conditioning so he can get himself back into shape.? The guys play pick-up four or five times a week and heˇ?s playing in that so heˇ?s getting the feel of the game back.ˇ±
ˇ?In a way, itˇ?s a blessing for Kirk.? He really has a lot of potential and that extra year of maturity last year will pay off for him this year.ˇ±
Kirkˇ?s return certainly gives you some experience to lean on, right?
ˇ?Last year we ended up starting two freshmen and a sophomore, and thatˇ?s enough to drive you crazy.? We really have good senior leadership in this group, and thatˇ?s going to make a difference with Bret Brielmaier, Kirk Walters, Daniel Dillon and Jawann McClellan.? Weˇ?ll have strong leadership in that senior class.ˇ±
This yearˇ?s roster features eight underclassmen.? Does the relative youth concern you?
ˇ?Yes, there will be a lot of younger guys in the freshman and sophomore classes, but I think they are very talented guys.? The freshman class thatˇ?s coming in probably was rated sixth, seventh or eighth in the country and I definitely believe they deserve that rating.? That freshman class is going to make its presence felt immediately.ˇ±
Your sophomore class was definitely productive last season.? What are your expectations there?
ˇ?Chase Budinger will be typical of what normally happens between a freshman and sophomore year.? Heˇ?ll be much, much better.? As of right now, Jordan Hill ?C from the beginning of last year until right now ?C has made the most improvement of anybody.? I think heˇ?s going to be a huge factor for us.? Jordan Hill is going to be an outstanding pro, and yet he was someone who was way under the (recruiting) radar.ˇ±
Are you optimistic heading into 2007-08?
ˇ?I feel very good about things right now.? Theyˇ?ve been working very hard in the summer.? Itˇ?s very positive now.? Weˇ?re going to get great leadership and the freshmen and sophomores are going be very good players.? I feel good about the summer.? I think the guys are really committed to getting the job done.ˇ±
What impact has new assistant coach Kevin O'Neill had so far?
ˇ?Kevin is a disciplinarian. Heˇ?s a veteran coach.? Heˇ?s been a Division I head coach for 11 years and in the NBA for seven years with one year as a head coach.? Heˇ?ll be heading up our defense.? Heˇ?s already established a position with the players.? The players already have a lot of respect for him.ˇ±

Louise Jopling: A Research Project
Welcome to our website. This site is about the artist Louise Jopling (1843-1933). It originates with a larger-scale research project about Louise Jopling and her circle that has been in progress at the University of Glasgow since 2005. The aims of the project are to document Jopling's career and to understand the historical context in which she practised as an artist, teacher, author and suffragist supporter. It is hoped that the study will contribute to our better understanding of the socio-cultural framework for women working in the visual arts during the late nineteenth century.
This website is currently under construction. Please do check back in the future for updates.

We love to seize the opportunity to celebrate each and every day - after all, the daily grind can be, well, a grind. We're learning that there are many holidays out there that may not have reached "Hallmark" calendar status, but they still count and deserve to be recognized. Preferably with wine. With that being said, we bring to you this very special day (cue "The More You Know" theme song).
Today is 'punk for a day' day, which if you're a teenager this is every day and if you're an adult vastly depends on what time of the month it is. We prefer celebrating it in a less bitchy, more actual punk way, with these The Stiletto Plaid Mid-Rise Skinny Jeans ($190). More power to you if you embellish them with safety pins and stick a few through your lip or ear.

LODI — Heat and humidity put a damper on Thursday's kickoff of this year's Sweet Corn Festival.
Attendance was down and several registered participants did not show up for the parade, said Melody Miller, executive director of the Lodi Regional Chamber of Commerce and a Village Council member.
"It wasn't as successful as it has been in the past on that night and I think that was because of the heat," Miller said.
Miller said she was counting on more people coming out for Friday night's fireworks.
"The fireworks are usually big draw," she said.
She said the corn events Friday and tonight's raffle also are big draws. This year's raffle offers $1,000 and $500 prizes for first and second place as well as gift cards and gift baskets.
Fair coordinator Yvonne Sivard agreed the heat was a "huge issue."
"People were here, but they just got their food and left to get back to their air conditioning."
Sivard said those who left missed out.
"We had young lady (Jennie Geissman) who sang a beautiful, beautiful version of the national anthem, and we had tumblers from Cheer for Life, and people were having fun with karaoke," she said. "It was a great night — just a little light as far as foot traffic."
Miller and Sivard said they are hoping for cooler weather for the rest of the festival, which ends today. The weather forecast calls for a high of 84 and perhaps a thunderstorm.
Miller said bad weather of a different sort earlier this year proved costly.
She said the chamber spent $700 for 240 dozen ears of corn from Long Shot Farms in Avon.
Miller said the festival usually gets most of the corn for the festival donated by Hall Growers in Lodi. But freezing weather early in the growing season ruined the farm's first plantings.
"It'll affect our profits for sure," she said. "Plus, I think people like to have it from nearby."
She added: "Maybe I'm biased but I agree. I think it's (Hall Growers) the best corn there is."
Sivard said Long Shot Farms was referred by Hall Growers.
"It's fresh-picked every day, and I know it's not Lodi corn but it is Ohio corn," she said.
Today features the 5K run at 8 a.m. at the old Lodi Elementary School; adult cornhole team and singles tournaments with cash prizes; Radio Disney broadcasting live from the festival at 2 p.m.; and the band Buckshot on the stage at 6 p.m.

Film festivals, in particular Sundance, have always been fertile ground for the "arrested development" comedy. Usually these movies involve men, are generally pretty comfortable and inoffensive, although they tend to be presented as more meaningful than they really are. Indie stalwart Lynn Shelton has always been given to headier comedies that explore uneasy relationships, such as in movies like Humpday, Your Sister's Sister, and Touchy Feely. With Laggies, Shelton puts a twist on the formula with a female protagonist, and while the film has its charms and is quite a bit of fun at times, it's also improbable and a step down compared to Shelton's more challenging work.
The fault doesn't lay solely at Shelton's feet, however, as Laggies marks her first time directing someone else's script. Novelist Andrea Seigel penned the story which centers on high school beauty Megan (Keira Knightley), who ten years after graduation is still best friends with her closest cliq. She's been dating her high school sweetheart Mark (Mark Webber), drifting aimlessly through life while her friends are moving forward with babies and weddings. Her stagnation is enabled by her father (Jeff Garlin), who hires her to twirl a giant arrow sign luring in customers to his tax business. Basically she's going nowhere fast, and it's begun to piss off her friends.
After screwing up the wedding of her uptight best friend (Ellie Kemper), witnessing her father in a compromising position, and Mark's sudden marriage proposal, Megan freaks out and looks for anywhere to escape. Running into the 16-year-old Annika (Chloe Moretz) and buying the girl a bunch of liquor, Megan feels a kinship with her and, seeing a brief respite from responsibility, spends the evening drinking with Annika and her friends. Another encounter leads to Megan staying at Annika's house for the week, lying to Mark that she's off at a career-building seminar. Basically she decides to give up her old friends and start again with new, younger ones.
Sound plausible? Of course not, and at least the oddness of the situation is addressed, mostly by Annika's lawyer father (Sam Rockwell), a single dad who seems intrigued to have a sexy woman in the house again but disturbed by this adult hanging out with his child. And he darn well should be disturbed, because Megan is a tough character to root for. She lies, makes awful decisions that hurt a great many people, and is often irresponsible in the way that isn't cute. More sympathetic is Annika, played beautifully by Moretz, who desperately is seeking some sort of motherly connection to balance her father's overprotective nature. Similar to how he gave The Way Way Back a boost of comic energy last year, Rockwell steals every scene he's in and makes everyone around him better. The rest of the supporting cast is solid, although someone needs to tell Mark Webber it's time to move on from the boring nice guy roles. There are other personality traits beyond "nice". Short Term 12 break-out Kaitlyn Dever makes the best of limited time as Annika's rambunctious best friend.
Megan's dysfunction is relayed in broad strokes, and the consequences of her most dangerous actions can be forgiven with a hug, some sweet music, and a joke. When her irresponsibility actually causes an accident that endangers Annika, it isn't treated as a very big deal. Yes, the film skates on the edges of believability but it calls on us to take certain things seriously when there are never any repercussions for Megan. While it's true that adults don't always have the answers and some times make childish mistakes, Laggies says as long as you look like Keira Knightley everything will be fine.

Hi, I was diagnosed with Classic EDS when I was born. I'm wondering if anyone with EDS has ever gotten a facial piercing. I'm interested in getting my nostril pierced, but am worried about scarring when I decide I'm done with it and if the hole will stretch and look gross. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I've heard that kind of worry expressed before. According to answers given by others (no piercings or tattoos for me), bad scarring is unlikely. Infection is more of a concern, probably, and don't wear a heavy nose ring.

Bad scarring and poor healing very likely! Guaranteed. Going through cartilage is really begging for trouble.
Get the hinged clips or ear cuffs or get something custom made.

I had a few facial piercings, and I have EDS III. When my piercings are removed, you can tell there was a hole there. They don't look "gross" to me, but there are noticeable if you are very close to me. I know the skin issues with Classic type are a little different, but I hope this helps a little.
No scars for me, but VERY slow healing.

5 things you need to know happening in Florida on Friday, August 8, 2014
TAMPA - Here are five things you need to know happening in Florida on Friday, August 8, 2014.
(1) Old Dixie Highway sidewalk construction begins
Construction crews will begin building a sidewalk along a portion of Old Dixie Highway in Lakeland on Friday.
The sidewalk will be built in three sections on the west side of the road near Tenoroc High School. On August 21, 2013, 17-year-old Enrique Hernandez was struck and killed while walking to school along that portion of Old Dixie Highway after missing his school bus.
The initial 1,300-foot-long segment will go from Schalamar Creek Drive to Carroll Street. Officials say the sidewalk should be finished by late October.
The other sidewalk segments will be built from Carroll Road to U.S. 92 and from Clover Road to Schalamar Creek Drive.
Polk County officials say the construction will require some lane and road closures.
(2) MacDill Air Force Base change of command ceremony
MacDill Air Force Base will hold a change of command ceremony on Friday morning.
Col. Daniel H. Tulley will take over command of the 6th Air Mobility Wing from Col. Scott V. DeThomas. DeThomas is retiring for the Air Force after more than 32 years in the military.
Tulley comes to MacDill from Pope Army Airfield in North Carolina where he was commander of the 43rd Airlift Group. He led the group responsible for the rapid, strategic deployment of forces assigned to the Joint Special Operations Command, the 18th Airborne Corps, and the 82nd Airborne Division.
The change of command ceremony will occur at 9:00 a.m.
(3) Tech Data opens new facility
Tech Data Corporation will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new 45,000-square-foot facility on Friday morning.
The new $6 million building will help the Clearwater-based firm continue to grow as a worldwide wholesale distributor of electronics.
Tech Data incorporated an number of interesting design choices in the new facility, including an eight-foot wide conference table and water-chilled air conditioners. Company officials believe the designs will help keep employees happy and loyal.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled to begin at 11:00 a.m.
(4) The Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival 2014
The world's biggest comedy tour will make a stop in Tampa on Friday.
The Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival 2014 plays today and Saturday night at the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre.
The festival will feature performances of two stages by some of the world's greatest comedians including Aziz Ansari, Louis C.K., Brent Morin, Chris Hardwick, DJ Trauma, Hannibal Buress, Jeff Ross, Marc Marion and Reggie Watts.
The show starts at 5:00 p.m.
For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.funnyordie.com/oddball .
(5) Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Jacksonville Jaguars
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers open up their preseason schedule with an away game on Friday night against their in-state rival Jacksonville Jaguars.
Both teams will be featuring new quarterbacks in the game.
Josh McCown is the Buccaneers starting quarterback. He signed with the team in the offseason after spending the past three years with the Chicago Bears. The Bucs are McCown's eighth different NFL franchise he has spent time with.
McCown has two 2014 draftees to throw: wide receiver Mike Evans and tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins.
Backing up McCown will be Mike Glennon, who played 13 games as a rookie for Tampa Bay in 2013.
The Jaguars are expected to start veteran Chad Henne at quarterback. However, former UCF quarterback Blake Bortles, Jacksonville's number one draft pick and future of the franchise, will likely see plenty of action tonight.
Tonight's game begins at 7:30 p.m.

Tonight on "Sister Wives" fans were a bit confused by something that Kody and Janelle Brown shared. On Feb. 9, it was confirmed that Janelle and Kody were stepbrother and stepsister when they got married.
Kody's dad Winn passed away and they talked about it on the show. He was also the husband of Janelle's mom. This means that this couple was stepbrother and stepsister at the time of their wedding. Janelle's mom and Kody's dad got married four months before Kody and Janelle tied the knot. Their parents met because of Janelle bonding with Kody and Meri and her mom wanted to know what was going on with them.
This has a few fans asking questions on Twitter and Facebook tonight. The thing is there is nothing wrong with this legally. The couple were not related by blood. They were not raised as siblings. It is just one more reason for people to talk bad about this polygamy family, but honestly it is more common than they realize.
Don't miss new episodes of "Sister Wives" on Sunday nights on TLC.

The famous French Car manufacturer Renault has testified that there has been a intense waning in the collection of profits this year. The sales have plummeted in Europe leading to a loss in revenue, which is a total opposite to the full-bodied rise of its upcoming markets business and its collaboration with Nissan from Japan. Even besides the sweepingly slow trade figures, Renault still holds fort that it is anticipating its worldwide vehicle sales to go up in 2012. The net profit in the first half of the year has shown a 39% drop in earnings.
The fate of the Renault automobile sales is worse as compared to the other car makers of Europe. The industry experts feel the annual sales of the European Automobile sector will be nearly 23% less than the sales of 2007. Renault predicts a further contraction of sales, of approx 6 and 7% than the previous estimates in 2012.
Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn fears that a noteworthy recovery of the sales figure is a far cry in the coming years. Renault accounted for a total profit (after valid deductions) of €746 million ($910 million) for first 6 of 2012, which has gone down 39% from €1.22 billion the previous year. It failed to reach up to the analysts' expectations of a €873 million net profit.
The Operating margin slipped down 2.4% to 2.3% of sales. First half of 2011 had the operating margin 3% of sales. The vehicle sales fell down by 3.3%, pulling the revenue down 0.8% to €20.94 billion."In a difficult and uncertain environment, Renault remains on track to meet its 2012 objective of positive automotive operation cash flow," claimed Mr. Ghosn, although the first half of the year showed a negative €200 million.
Automobile makers face the sad scenario of a reduction in sales of automobiles and a stiff competitive price battle with the other contemporaries in the same line of production. They are in a desperate attempt to maintain the price of their share value and controlling the production line.The end result is a desperate effort to reduce the manufacturing of the vehicles to suit the current market demand.This will also lead to a tapering down of costly inventories.
Renault sees a ray of hope as it has done better than its arch rival PSA Peugeot Citroen that showed a net loss of €819 million from the previous year profit of €806 million.

BRUNSWICK — Westlake coach Mike Besu thought his team's ability to control the midfield Tuesday would dictate if it would advance past Medina in the Findlay Division I Regional semifinals.
The Demons wound up losing 2-0 because they finished the game with three of their top midfielders on the sideline — thanks to three very costly red cards.
The first put the Demons in a rut early, and the following two made sure that a comeback wasn't in the cards.
Not even two minutes into the contest, Westlake junior defender Lee Grossman was given a red card for grabbing a potential goal off the head of Medina's Jordan Clark. Demons goalkeeper Tim Hipskind lunged and got a hand on Clark's attempt, but Grossman instinctively grabbed the ball with both of his hands.
Grossman was given a red card and ejected, which forced Westlake to play with 10 boys for the remainder of the game.
It also forced Besu to find a way to compensate.
"We tried different formations and had to move kids in different positions,†he said. "We had to move our sweeper to a midfielder and we had to go on without one of our best midfielders.â€
Besu wound up having to move Vinny Stellato, who was nursing an ankle sprain, to Grossman's spot.
"The guys were frustrated,†Besu said. "When you're losing 2-0 and making changes and nothing is working, they got a little frustrated.â€
Ohio State-bound midfielder David Schade collected the team's second red card with 26:16 left and was ejected. Midfielder Aidan Fenix was issued his second yellow card and got tossed less than 30 seconds later.
"That broke our back,†Besu said. "We were already in trouble at that time and then all of a sudden (Schade) is gone, and we couldn't come back from that.â€
Schade's second yellow came from playing aggressive defense as he was called for a tripping foul. As he was walking away, he threw his hands in the air and the official flashed the red.
"I could see the first yellow cards,†Besu said. "But at some point, you have to walk away and let the kids be frustrated.â€
Medina coach Mark Malikowski said he was never worried about a potential letdown with his team being given an advantage.
"Not with this group,†he said. "In the past, maybe, but in our last four playoff games we haven't had any lull like we had in the regular season.â€
Despite Westlake's midfield being ravaged, Malikowski didn't think the cards made much of a difference in the outcome.
"We still wouldn't have lost,†Malikowski said. "It would have been different but we would have won with full strength.â€

Kenya Moore has revealed which of the housewives is her least favorite housewife. Surprisingly, it's not her "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" co-star NeNe Leakes, who she continues to slam on social media and her blogs. Rather, it's a housewife from Beverly Hills.
On Friday, March 7, Kenya opened herself up to fans via Twitter for any questions that they have for her.
When one person asked her who her least favorite housewife is, she replied that it's Brandi Glanville.
Kenya also gave her opinion on who she thinks is the prettiest housewife. She said that Melissa Gorga, from "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," is one of the prettiest. Melissa was happy about this, as she replied, "aww. Thanks pretty;-) xoxo," to which Kenya replied with kisses.
It's no wonder that Kenya doesn't like Brandi. Kenya got the attention of Brandi when she proclaimed her "ignorant" and an "ass clown" for her comment about how Joyce Giraud must be black because she can't swim. Brandi in turn said that Kenya looks "really ashy and weird" during an appearance on Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live."
It certainly seems as if Kenya Moore and Brandi Glanville will be two housewives who won't ever be friends!
Who is your least favorite housewife?

Michael Jackson: King of Style?
Michael Jackson's impact on fashion
Jonny Lichtenstein
View Profile

King of Style?
Michael Jackson was many things: musical genius, pop sensation, extraordinary entertainer, and fashion icon. Let's face it, the man could wear clothes. At six feet tall and 112 pounds, many saw his figure as the perfect frame for couture… WOMEN's couture, that is. In fact, prior to his death he was wearing straight-off-the-runway women's looks from hot Parisian labels such as Givenchy and Balmain (I sometimes wonder if he and the Olsen twins were fighting for samples). For the past three decades, Michael Jackson's wardrobe inspired fashion for both men and women. Sure, not all of his ideas were original, but when he "borrowed" ideas he did so from the best of his A-list gal pals. There were the sequin blousons from Liza, rhinestone socks from Cher (a gift to her from Bob Mackie for Christmas one year), and, of course, his cosmetic metamorphosis courtesy of Ms. Diana Ross. He also threw in his own touches, like the single rhinestone glove, oversized sunglasses and cropped pants tied at the waist with a bit of twine. It was hard for loyal fans to replicate his look without looking foolish (although they tried, God knows they tried), but the masses felt his impact. Here, my top five trends, thanks to the incomparable Michael Jackson.

Body Conscious Dressing
Tank tops and cropped black pants showed off Jackson's svelte figure and simplicity of dressing for day, and the look became burned into the world-wide consciousness when legendary photographer Herb Ritts captured it on film. Les Chiffoni Gabardine cropped leggings, $455;

About Me
Hi everyone!
I'm Kelly from Chico, CA. I LOVE make-up and hair but make-up is my main passion. Check out my stuff and tell me what you think! I would really love to meet up with some models and photographers who are passionate about what they do. I'm always open to doing something new so if you have any questions or ideas send me a message!
I occasionally do some TFCD. My prices are negotiable.
P.S. I won't work with you if you have horriable eyebrows. Please try to get them done a few days before the shoot. To some of you this may sound silly, but I take my job seriously and if you have horriable brows you obviously don't care about your look and therefore I don't care to work with you. Nothing personal, lets just be professional. (This message was not directed towards anyone I have worked with in the past. I am a cosmetologist and wax eyebrows on a daily basis and just can't stand bad brows. haha.) I really don't think this is being too picky!
Have you worked with Kelly James? Add Credits for Kelly James! >>

Two men were arrested by police after a mass brawl broke out between parents queuing for Legoland's pirate ship Jolly Rocker ride.
Horrified children looked on as the "vicious" fight unfolded at the Windsor theme park last weekend.
Legoland security staff brought the situation under control, and Thames Valley Police arrested two men on suspicion of a public order offence.
The men, aged 29 and 30, each received a fixed penalty notice and were kicked out of the park.
An onlooker told The Sun the argument could have been sparked by frayed tempers about the size of the queues on a busy Saturday in the middle of the summer holidays.
They said: "All hell broke loose. It was frightening for innocent adults forced to watch, not the mention the kids."
Legoland said it had banned those involved and their families from the theme park for life, and would be recommending similar bans at other UK Merlin Entertainment Group attractions.

"Compound Fracture!"
Writer: Len Wein
Penciller: Chris Batista
Inker: Mick Gray and Jack Jadson
Reviewed by: Michael Bailey
Superman and Batman go to the gravesite and find a giant hole in the ground and after some more investigating they confirm that whatever attacked them is the result of Ivo's experiments. The Composite Superman/Batman kidnaps Lois and Robin and holds them in chains while he performs acts of heroism as both Superman and Batman. The real Superman and Batman track down where Lois and Robin are being held and have to fight the Composite creature when it returns. Batman uses a psychology approach to "attack" the creature and eventually it rips itself apart because it cannot reconcile being both heroes.
Story - 4: All right, everyone. Get ready. If you're not sitting down already you should do so now.
This is something I haven't done in some time.
This is a positive review for a story appearing in SUPERMAN/BATMAN.
I know. I know. It's weird but if you stick with me and put your faith in my reviewing skills we will all get through this together.
In all honesty I went into this review without a lot of the baggage that I usually do because the annuals for this series are a different animal than those of the regular issues. Joe Kelly set a trend in the first two annuals that these are out and out re-imaginings of classic stories and when you take it from that viewpoint the continuity freak in me was able to sit down, have a nice piece of pie and move on with life. There is a difference when you are "told" that something is out there continuity wise and a series that is riding that line and playing fast and loose with it.
I will admit that I was predisposed to liking this issue because it was written by Len Wein. I admire Len. He is one of those writers that I have a tremendous amount of respect for and it doesn't matter if it is his DC work or his Marvel work I pretty much dig it. So I had to control myself. Gushing is never good in a review. It takes away a certain amount of credibility. Still, it's hard to not to have a good feeling about reading something by a writer that has produced so many good stories and I was not disappointed with this annual.
For one thing this story was funny or at least funny in a good way. It's not Joe Kelly humor, which is more about having characters do amusing things that are out of character, which can work at times. Wein's approach is more light hearted in nature and doesn't distract from the overall story. The scene where Superman confronts Batman worked well because you had that angsty, macho, let's act all big and bad but that was immediately defused by them realizing that something was wrong. The glue that held this story together was the friendship between Superman and Batman. It took a long time to get used to these guys getting along again but when it's done right it works and it was definitely done right in this annual.
The heart and soul of the story, though, is what the Composite Superman went through. This wasn't a simple, humorous update of the original concept. A guy didn't stand in front of a bunch of action figures and get super powers. This was a Frankenstein riff. It was a creature that wanted to be more than it was with all of the misunderstanding that comes with that. He wanted to be the hero. He wanted to be Superman and Batman but at the end of the day that is a responsibility that is too much for anyone to bear. This is what makes Superman and Batman such great characters. They have the courage of their convictions and they make the sacrifices necessary to serve the greater good and that is why the creature ended up ripping itself apart. It was the physical manifestation of its internal conflict. It was handled a little haphazardly but I was genuinely touched by the conclusion of this story.
So while the lighthearted nature of the first two acts clashed a bit atmospherically with the third act I was very satisfied with this annual. Len Wein proved that a writer from an earlier period can still come in and tell a darn good story without looking dated. I'm glad that another writer got the chance to re-imagine an older story in these annuals and I am even happier that the writer in question was Len Wein.
Art - 4: I'm a little torn on the art in this story. I like Batista's style and thought that he was perfect for the more light hearted aspects of the story. He also has a real dynamic sense of page layouts. This was evident on the splash page with Batman swinging into action as Firefly took aim. It was a nice piece of art and really conveyed the action that was going on. I also liked that Batman had a very Tim Burton look about him. The cowl design reminded me of the 1989 film as did the Batmobile and considering I always liked that version of Batman's ride that was kind of cool.
The only place the art fell a little short was the climax and this is nothing against Batista. It is actually all me because I had this weird thing going on in my head that I wanted the tone that Batista brought to the story until that last scene where Composite Superman tore himself apart. Then I wanted something dark...something tragic and it is not fair to an artist to expect him or her to change their style based on your whims.
So yeah, the one problem I had is something that is nobody's fault but my own and I admit that freely.
Good job, Chris.
Cover Art - 5: I have appreciated Bernie Wrightson's artwork for some time now. He is the master when it comes to moody, scary imagery. This cover is a good example of how his style can even translate into the super-hero genre. That is an awesome version of the Composite Superman and gave the reader the first hint that this was a very different version of the character.
I'd really love an action figure based on this design.
And maybe if I stand in front of it and all of the other figures on my bookshelf I'll get super powers.
Oh, a man can dream.

Turlock High's boys basketball team fell to the Atwater Falcons in Friday night's Central California Conference bout in what resulted in a one point loss of 53-54.
With league play resuming on Friday night, Turlock Christian and Denair clashed in a Southern Athletic League boys basketball bout.
All things went Merced's way when they came into Pitman High to square off in a Central California Conference showdown on Friday night.
Turlock High is walking out of week two of the Central California Conference boys basketball season with a perfect 2-0 record after Friday's 80-61 blowout of Buhach Colony High.
It's the game Pitman High's girls had been waiting for all season - the Central California Conference home opener against defending league champions Buhach Colony High.
Pitman High's Cyle Williams hit the go-ahead game-winning jumper against Central California Conference foe Buhach Colony at home on Friday night in the closing seconds of regulation in a match that ended tight at 52-50.
Turlock and Golden Valley High stood atop the wooden tiles that line the floor of Bulldog Arena in a familiar position Friday night. With the game clock minutes away from expiration, the scoreboard read 50-49-a one possession game.
The Turlock Christian High varsity boys basketball team began its Southern Athletic League play on Tuesday night as they traveled to Delhi High, who came into the game having won the previous two meetings.
Pitman High claimed the tournament title at the inaugural Dragon Duals on Saturday as its wrestlers helped the Pride finish 5-0 with victories over Sir Francis Drake, Marysville, El Camino, Lindhurst, and McCLatchy High.
Turlock High wrestling has a history of dominating its annual Bulldog Classic tournament, and it was no different on Saturday.
The Turlock Christian Lady Eagles dominated the court from the tip-off Monday night, defeated a hosting Delhi team, 69-27, in Southern League play.

Growth of Light Pollution
Light pollution is increasing globally, in both developed and developing countries. Most of the data on the growth of light pollution comes from a handful of weather satellite images and computer modeling using population trends. An examination of North American light emissions shows a roughly six percent annual increase from 1947 to 2000 (Cinzano & Elvidge, 2003). This may be a conservative estimate, as measurements over smaller areas and shorter time spans show annual increases of eight percent for Las Vegas, Nevada (NPS measurements, 2002–2008), and 10 percent in northern Italy (Cinzano, 2000). These increases exceed the population growth rate, indicating that the increase in light pollution is primarily due to a multplication of two factors—more light emitted per capita and a greater percentage of uplight from light fixtures.
The exceptions to this rapid light pollution growth rate include Eastern Europe, which suffered economic hardship and government collapse in the 1990s, and areas where lighting regulations have been created and enforced, such as Tucson, Arizona, portions of Northern Italy (Falchi, 2011), and Flagstaff, Arizona (NPS measurements, 2002–2012).
Though the light pollution trend has been sobering and future predictions for dark skies are bleak, there are clear examples where efforts to protect and restore dark skies have been successful.

Local farmers will be able to have larger roadside stands from which to sell their produce and flowers, thanks to an ordinance adopted this week by the Board of Clark County Commissioners.
Roadside stands, defined as being within 50 feet of the public right-of-way, will be able to be up to 1,000 square feet, according to a code that will take effect July 9.
Existing code limited stands to 200 or 300 square feet and also limited where they could be located. The new code allows the roadside stands in all zones in unincorporated areas, including urban residential zones.
The operator of the roadside farm stand needs only the permission of the property owner to set up shop.
The size didn't please everyone, however. The county's Rural Lands Task Force had recommended allowing roadside stands to be as large as 2,500 square feet.
The new code also gives farmers greater flexibility for agricultural markets, which are permanent structures where farmers can sell not only produce but processed items such as jams, syrups and apple cider and retail items such as canning jars, T-shirts and plant containers.
Also on Tuesday, commissioners backed away from a controversial proposal that had angered farmers who showed up at a May 22 hearing.
The proposal was to have property owners who wanted to build an agricultural structure fill out a form and certify that the building would only be used for agricultural purposes, and then notify the county if the use changed.
The structures, which include livestock shelters, barns and stables, would remain exempt from building permit requirements and there would be no fee to fill out a form. Other counties require a permit or a land-use review for agricultural structures, so Clark County already has a lenient policy. But county staff members wanted a record of the buildings, said Axel Swanson, senior policy advisor to the commissioners.
Among other reasons, the county's code enforcement officers get complaints about nonexempt uses, such as when someone has a human living in what's supposed to be a barn, and the county wants to have a record of when the structure was built. The county had also received complaints from people who had bought property with an agricultural structure that had been converted to a nonexempt use, and the buyers thought the building was legal.
After hearing again Tuesday from farmers who were upset about the form, commissioners decided to scrap it.
Commissioners also expanded the state's definition of an "agricultural structure" by noting that while the building may not be used for human habitation, employees can be in it for seasonal processing, treating or packaging of agricultural or forest products.

Advocate staff photo by RICHARD ALAN HANNON -- LSU football coach Les Miles shouts to his players during spring practice. Miles has been an outspoken critic of the Southeastern Conference scheduling format. BY SCOTT RABALAIS| email@example.com April 30, 2014; 8:59 p.m. Comments A sizeable bandwagon built up for LSU freshman quarterback Brandon Harris after his spring-game performance on April 5, but coach Les Miles is doing his best to tap the brakes on any outsized enthusiasm. "Our quarterback position will be (about) competition," Miles said Wednesday as he led off the Southeastern Conference post-spring football coaches teleconference. "(Sophomore) Anthony Jennings and Brandon Harris both had marked improvement in the spring, but neither one played well enough to be the starter. Both have the ability to be very, very quality quarterbacks in this conference, and both are doing everything they can to improve and show leadership." Playing on both the Purple and White teams in the spring game, Harris, an early enrollee from Bossier City, completed 11 of 28 passes for 195 yards and three touchdowns while rushing six times for 77 yards and another score. Jennings was 9-of-17 passing for 157 yards and a touchdown but also threw two interceptions for touchdowns. Youth movement In addition to Harris, Miles named freshmen Ed Paris, Jamal Adams and John Battle as likely contributors for LSU at safety, saying he expects the Tigers' reliance on first-year players to continue. "We've played 15 freshmen each of the last two seasons, and we expect that number will continue with a very quality group coming in," Miles said. LSU's 2014 recruiting class was ranked consensus No. 2 nationally. Line 'em up Miles did praise his offensive line, which returns four of five starters this fall, and new offensive-line coach Jeff Grimes. "Everyone has experience," Miles said. "The guys are coming with a little better technique, and we look forward to that improvement." Big … and loud Miles discussed the expansion of Tiger Stadium to approximately 100,000 seats. "You thought it was loud before," LSU's 10th-year coach said. "It's just going to be a tremendous venue to play in." Miles also echoed Athletic Director Joe Alleva from earlier in the week that the SEC, CBS and ESPN have agreed to try to maximize the number of night home games LSU will play. "We're fortunate the conference felt night games in Tiger Stadium is a coveted tradition for us," Miles said. "We're fortunate to feel we will have advantages there." LSU opens Aug. 30 against Wisconsin in Houston and plays the first of seven home games Sept. 6 against Sam Houston State. In memory Miles started the teleconference by sending out condolences to the family of Alabama swimmer John Servati, who died Monday night when a tornado sent a wall crashing on top of him in the basement of his Tuscaloosa, Alabama, apartment.

Crittendon Named To Lead Miami-Dade Ikea Operation
Thursday January 9th, 2014 - 10:10AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Ikea has appointed Selwyn Crittendon manager of its future Miami-Dade store, the company announced. The retailer has scheduled the metro Miami location, in the town of Sweetwater, FL, for a summer 2014 opening.
Crittendon, who relocated to South Florida from Orlando, joined Ikea after serving in various capacities at a large catalog-based retail store in Virginia, Ikea related. In 2007, he joined the team opening IKEA Orlando, and, after three years as customer service manager, he became store sales manager. In 2012, Ikea named Crittendon deputy Orlando store manager.
"We are very excited about opening a Miami-Dade store in South Florida to complement the presence established by Ikea Sunrise," IKEA U.S. president Mike Ward said in announcing Crittendon's appointment. "Selwyn's commerciality and customer service experience with IKEA and his previous retail background have prepared him for managing IKEA Miami."
Sunrise is in Broward County just north of Miami.
Crittendon noted, "IKEA recognizes the strong customer base for us in South Florida based on the success of our store in the Broward County city of Sunrise, so I am pleased about helping provide a store for Miami-Dade customers."

You put clean sheets on the guest bed and stocked up the pantry – now the guests are about to arrive, and it's time to show you're the host with the most! Keep these tips in mind to ensure your overnight guests enjoy their stay.
The Visit
To ensure everything goes smoothly and everyone has a relaxed and happy time, keep a few things in mind: • Always make sure your guests know what's expected of them. Be considerate but clear about what areas are off limits, designated eating areas, and mealtimes. Flexibility is fine, but guests will appreciate knowing the rules of the house ahead of time. • When gathering for a meal, be clear about where everyone is to sit. Place cards put out in advance are helpful, or just direct everyone (do it before you serve the meal so people aren't milling around in confusion). Keep parents next to small children so they can help them if necessary. Always serve guests first. • Give your guests an idea of what time you generally get up in the morning and, if planning a sit-down breakfast, what time you expect to eat. Make sure to leave out the fixings for coffee and tea in case your guests get up before you. (Tip: have non-caloric sweetener on hand as well as sugar or honey.) • Give your full attention to your guests. Don't take phone calls that can wait or engage in activities that exclude others (reading, watching TV, projects). • If your guests are bringing children with them, it's a good idea to set aside an area just for them. If it's in an area apart from where the adults are gathering, a TV with videos is fine. In any case, have items ready that the kids can entertain themselves with, such as toys, games, puzzles, or crayons and paper (no paints or other messy items!). Outdoor games are good, too, if the weather permits and you live in a safe area. • Have activities in mind, but be open and flexible to changes. Company comes first, so never say, "Now we're going to do such and such;" instead, ask your guests, "Would you like to…?"
Be clear ahead of time when the visit is to end. If your guests need to leave at a certain time, be cognizant of that when planning meals or other activities on that day.
As they are leaving, show your guests to the door, thank them individually for coming, and express how much you loved having them. If they brought gifts, thank them again for the gift as they leave. Follow this up a few days later with a quick, informal note (handwritten is good, but an email is also fine) thanking them again for coming, and telling them how glad you were to see them.
Want to see this again? Yes, send it to my email!

The Wieting Theatre is pleased to present the University of Iowa Department of Theatre Art's Iowa Summer Rep touring production of Respect: A Musical Journey of Women on Saturday, June 21, 2014 at 2 p.m. This new musical, written and created by Dorothy Marcic, tells the journey of women using Top-40 music from songs like "Someone to Watch Over Me" to "I Will Survive."
Marcic combines excerpts of more than 60 songs with women's own stories about finding dreams, lost love, relationship issues, entering the workforce, gaining independence, and more. From the codependence of "I Will Follow Him," to the anger of "These Boots are Made for Walking," to the cynicism of "What's Love Got to Do with it," and finally to the strength of "Hero," this show is more than just a story worth telling, it's a must-see and must-hear production!
For more than the first half of the last century, the voice of women in Top-40 popular music has been one of neediness and dependency. I'll do anything for you; just be my baby, even if you're no good and treat me bad; just LOVE me and I'll stand by my man. By the end of the century, things were quite different. Popular music had come far enough so that women looked for the hero within themselves, were urged to get on their feet and make it happen, and ready to stand on her own with or without a man. Marcic created this musical based on her book, Respect: Women and Popular Music, where she analyzed all Top-40 female song lyrics since 1900. Learn more at www.respectthemusical.com.
"This show is crammed full of great Top-40 pop hits, sung by our fabulous cast," says Director Eric Forsythe, Head of the MFA Directing program at the University of Iowa. "It's toe-tapping, hum-along, and maybe sing-along fun for everyone. I mean: 'Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man,' 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,' 'Tammy,' 'I am Woman,' 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,' 'I Will Survive,' and 'RESPECT!' Great!"
About Iowa Summer Rep
The University of Iowa's professional repertory theatre company, Iowa Summer Rep, represents a rich tradition of nearly a century of summer theatre at the University of Iowa. Beginning with Edward C. Mabie's arrival on campus in 1920, summer play production became a regular feature. While many things have changed in the rich history of summer play production, Iowa Summer Rep is proud to continue this tradition with a touring production during the summer of 2014, while the Theatre uilding is under construction to repair damage caused by the flood of 2008.

"This year, we're taking the show on the road to Iowa communities throughout the state. If you've not been able to come to Iowa City to see our work for yourself, here's your chance! RESPECT is the perfect show for a date or family fun: there's something here for everyone."
