The Met Ball has been dubbed the Oscars of Fashion in New York City. The dress code this year was black tie with a couture Charles James theme to honor a lesser known designer. There were many hits and misses on the red carpet. Some celebs took risks that paid off while others were complete fashion fails. Here is our rundown of the best and worst dressed.
Best Dressed :
• Blake Lively in Gucci.
• Rihanna in a Stella McCartney crop top and skirt.
• Charlize Theron in Dior.
• Beyonce in in custom Givenchy.
• Kim Kardashian played it safe in Lanvin after her fashion mishap at the event last year.
• Sarah Jessica Parker in Oscar De La Renta
• Victoria Beckham in a simple white dress from her own fashion line.
Reese Witherspoon in Stella McCartney.
Anne Hathaway in Calvin Klein.
Kendall Jenner in Top Shop.
Emma Stone in Thakoon.
Chrissy Teigen in Ralph Lauren.
Fashion Misses:
We must explain that the designers create gowns for a chosen celebrity who is their fashion muse for the evening. We look at the Met Gala as a virtual catwalk.
- Kate Upton in Dolce & Gabbana. We think that the sexy supermodel looked like a waitress working at a saloon in the Wild West. It's unfortunate that the Italian design duo did not take advantage of her curves.
- Lupita Nyong'o in Prada. The Oscar winner is a fashion world darling and has been nailing every look on the Awards season red carpet. We don't blame Lupita for the fashion faux pas which can be described as a flapper inspired costume with a head band. The actress told reporters that she didn't love the design but the Italian designer made it anyway for her to wear on the big night. "This [was] the first sketch they showed us," she told Vogue, pointing to her green Prada dress. "We nixed it, we didn't understand the sketch. We were like, 'No, maybe not. When I saw it hanging there, of course, I was deeply attracted to it," she said. "I call it the taxi dress'
- Katie Holmes in Marchesa. Poor Katie looked like she was dressed like the Disney character Belle in a frumpy yellow dress. We also didn't like that her hair was a mess.
- Kristen Stewart in Chanel. The Twilight actress looked like she was engulfed in feathers and an unflattering silhouette.
Celebs had fun during the evening while sharing images on Instagram and hitting several after parties including the annual event at Top of the Standard. Rihanna changed into another gold dress with a plunging back which showed off her assets. Wow!

The rest of the uniform only gets dopier as you work up from the black and gold striped socks. You can see them on various players behind Charlie Batch in the photo to the right — here's a better look at them — if you can take your eyes off of Charlie for a minute. Only on Project Runway will you find someone so proud of such ridiculous clothing.
And they are ridiculous. They're disturbingly ugly, and Batch looks like the Hamburglar, if the Hamburglar had been homeless for 15 years. I'm starting to like it, though. If you're going to go ugly, I say go big. It's easy to rock a throwback jersey if you've got cool throwback jerseys. The Chargers in their old AFC joints? No problem. The Lions in their customary Thanksgiving gear? Why not?
The Steelers looking like wayward rugby players who accidentally stumbled into a marathon where someone taped numbers on their chest? That takes some fortitude.
The Steelers play the Redskins at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. If you miss them then, you'll get a second chance in Week 11, when the Steelers play the Ravens in a Sunday night game.

Event Log: "Failed to setup initiator portal. Error status is given in the dump data."
This is being recorded every 3/100's of a second. We are using MS iSCSI Initiator on Windows Server 2003, Dell 2970 w/4GB (PAE). I am sure that this was configured by Dell initially. I have no idea what changes or mods were made since the company installed this machine until now.
(I'm a new User so the lovely and vibrant screen images had to be removed. They were quite pretty and I am sure you would have been very moved and appreciative of them.)
It appears that everything is installed correctly and the 5TB bound volume is accessible but I have never worked with iScsi before so I plead total ignorance. In searching I have found this to be a fairly sparce and bland documented subject.
I'd like two things...
First, to get rid of the error msg being logged. MS says it can be ignored if everything is working but it chews up resources logging it and I don't feel comfortable about any errors on my servers. I want to correct whatever is causing this problem.
Secondly, being totally green to this, I would like to confirm that the setup is optimized and we are taking advantage of all features available. Although there are 3 NIC's in this machine it appears that the initiator is only configured for the Broadcom BMC5708C NetXtreme II on our 10.90.1.#, the other 2 NICS are 1GB on the 192.168.0.#. Would additional targets improve performance?
If someone who is experienced in configuring the Microsoft iScsi Initiator can help I would really appreciate it since, as I mentioned, everything I have come across has not been of any value at all.
Thanks! ~AZ

Career Notes
Forward who was a consistent top-100 national prospect all four years in high school ... Developed into a solid front-court reserve over his two seasons, but elected to transfer out of the program after the 2012-13 season ... Showed ability to stretch the defense with occasional threes.
2012-13 - Game-by-Game Statistics
Reserve 4-man and second frontcourt sub off the bench, played sparingly early in the ACC schedule but gave Tech important minutes over the last three weeks of the season ... In Tech's last seven games, averaged 6-1/2 minutes and hit 8-of-15 shots from the floor... Gave Tech 10 minutes at Wake Forest on Feb. 16 when foul trouble limited Tech's bigs, contributing five points and three rebounds ... They were his first points since Jan. 23 at North Carolina ... Scored four points in six minutes off the bench against Maryland... Scored 16 points in Tech's five games (7-for-18 FG. nine rebounds) before conference play began after scoring just two in the first seven ... Scored his only other ACC points on a banked-in three at the buzzer at North Carolina... Played season-high 16 minutes against The Citadel, 13 against Alabama State, 10 vs. Fordham.
2011-12 - Game-by-Game Statistics
Saw significant court time after Tech's win at Georgia on December 7 ... Averaged 5.1 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 45.8% FG and 10-22 on 3s in ACC games ... Scored career-high 11 pts (5-7 FG) in career-high 29 min vs. Miami, 9 pts and 6 reb vs. UNC. Added 8 pts (two 3s) at FSU ... Logged 9 quality minutes (despite not scoring and getting just 1 rebound) to help the Jackets win at Georgia, and has continued to improve ... 21-for-29 (72.4%) from the FT line; turned the ball over just 26 times all year ... Excellent debut against FAMU, scoring 10 pts (7-8 FT) with 6 reb and 4 ast... Has 4 double-figure scoring games (1 vs. ACC team) ... Went scoreless in 3 games in Charleston; did not play against Northwestern, only 2 minutes at Tulane.
High School
Led Milton High to the state finals in class AAAAA, the highest classification in Georgia, three times, winning the state championship in 2010 ... Eagles went 83-15 his last three years ...

Developer: Quickfingers
Genre: Music/Puzzle
Kongregate Rating: 4.09/5
FlashMush Rating: 8/10
***Note this uses the Unity Plugin, so if you don't have that you must download it first to play.***
This is a neat game. It combines puzzle aspects, with music and combines them in a way it's quite fun and addicting while still being challenging. The premise of the game is you have one point that is dropping say water droplets, you then have a certain amount of lines you can draw to bounce those drops and redirect them to fall into another bucket, when you fill it you win.
Sounds very simple I know, and it is in all actuality. But don't let that fool you, this game is quite a challenge and mind bender. But its ok because the way the game is tied into music it's quite fun. Everytime a drop hits a line or a block it makes a musical note, so whether you are succeeding or failing at a level it still makes cool sounds and I find that that hooks me in to play more. The graphics for this game are very well done as well. They employ a sort of futuristic, machinery, greyscale type of graphics which works quite well in this setting.
The only problem I have with this game is the difficulty really. Not that in the fact of, "waaah it's too hard, I'll rate it down", but rather in the fact of the learning curve is way to steep for a game like this. But nonetheless it's a great puzzle game which combines a cool novelty of music, so if that interests you, check it out!

Isco admits it's a two-horse race
- 17 June 2013 08:22
- Posted by @dclayton_mcfc
Possibly the most exciting midfield talent in Europe has hinted there are only two clubs he is thinking about joining this summer – and will reveal his decision in a week's time.
The Malaga star has lit up the Under-21 Championships in Israel over the past few days, leaving City fans drooling at the prospect of a David Silva, Jesus Navas and Isco forming an irresistible trio behind the Blues' strikers.
But, as with everything in life, it's not quite as simple as that – not when Real Madrid are the other team courting the youngster.
With Madrid players bending Isco's ear in Israel, it looks like the proposed transfer could go either way.
John Percy in the Daily Telegraph writes: "It will require a fee of £30million to prise the 21-year-old Isco from his Spanish club and Pellegrini has made him a priority target after his appointment as City manager was confirmed officially on Friday.
"Real are also long-term admirers and could rival City in the chase to sign the exciting midfielder.
Isco said: "Those [Alvaro Morata, Nacho and Daniel Carvajal] indeed are the guys insisting [for the move to Real Madrid]. We'll see what happens. I try to draw the line there. We have the [European] Under-21 final and need to focus all five senses on that now.
In seven days I will decide my future. After the U21 Euros I will analyse my situation and make the best choice for my future. At the moment I am calm and focused on my work with the national team
"City or Madrid? I can't say. Pellegrini is a great coach, though, of that there is no question."
Pellegrini, who will be unveiled as manager at City when the Premier League runners-up of last campaign return to pre-season training, signed Isco from Valencia in 2011 and played a pivotal part in nurturing him to emerge as one of Spain's most coveted young talents.
"City have already signed Fernandinho and Jesus Navas this summer and the club's chief executive, Ferran Soriano, has promised further "expensive" recruits."
Fingers crossed on that one, then!
Elsewhere, Here Is the City have picked up on a Sergio Aguero tweet in which the darling of the Etihad claims his heart is red – but worry not – it's not that shade of red he's talking about!
Writes Nash: "(The tweet is) not because of a secret affinity for Manchester United; but because his beloved Independiente suffered relegation from Argentina's Primera Division this weekend.
"Panic over Manchester City fans? After reading the sidebar you should now be well aware that Aguero was not talking about great city rivals Manchester United when he expressed this passionate Tweet on Saturday evening.
"Roughly translated the Tweet reads: "I said it when it happened to River Plate and reiterate it today. The big ones always come back! Always red in my heart. Today more than ever."
"Indeed the Argentine striker was instead showing his passion for former club Independiente; and with good reason to; because his former side have been relegated for the first time in their 108-year history after a 1-0 defeat against San Lorenzo."
Never doubted it!

"I always thought of Dumbledore as gay," said author J. K. Rowling about Albus Dumbledore, one of the good guys in all seven of her harry potter novels.
Unlike the way he is portrayed in the movies, Dumbledore is neither bumbling nor weak. He is commanding, authoritative, strong, sure, and only defeated by superior forces, never inferior ones. Dumbledore didn't die because he made mistakes or because he absentmindedly mismanaged some magic. He died because he laid down his life, playing his appointed part in the outworking of a grand providential plan into which he had remarkable insight.
How do we deal with the information that Rowling has given us? How do we respond to her declaration that she thought of him as gay?
This calls for wisdom.
We should ask, I think, at least two questions: (1) what does Rowling show us of Dumbledore's conduct as it relates to homosexuality/same-sex desire, and (2) what is it that makes Dumbledore a hero? Let's start with the second first.
Is Dumbledore a hero because he has decided that the desires he feels must be right? Has he concluded that his appetites are to be gratified? Has he chosen what he wants over what he deems right? Has he chosen what is easy or what is true and good? Has he done whatever he wanted to do without concern for how it affects other people? Does he advocate that his impulses, his freedom, and his right to do whatever he wants to do matter more than any consideration of traditional morality or societal standard? Does he demand the right to throw off moral norms and be considered righteous by everyone?
The answers to these questions are obvious to anyone who has read the fabulous harry potter stories. Dumbledore is a hero not because he has thrown off Christian morality and Christian conceptions of what is good and true and beautiful but because he has embraced them. Dumbledore is a hero because he selflessly opposes evil—moral evil—and the definition of moral evil in the Potter stories corresponds to the definition of moral evil in the Bible. Dumbledore is heroic because he is Christ-like.
There is a character in the Harry Potter stories who has moved beyond traditional morality, who has decided that his appetites are to be gratified, that what he deems right is what must be true, that what he wants he will have without respect for the way it harms others. This character says that there is no good and evil, only power. There is a character who chooses that path, but his name is Voldemort not Dumbledore.
I would suggest, then, that Dumbledore's same-sex attraction does not take away from our conception of him as a hero but adds to it because it shows us one more way in which Dumbledore has crucified evil, selfish, fleshly desires for the sake of what is morally true, ethically right, lovingly beautiful, and in every way good.
Skeptical of my interpretation of Rowling's intentions? Need proof? Let's move from the second question to the first: what does Rowling show us of Dumbledore's conduct as it relates to homosexuality/same-sex desire. We'll answer this question at two levels: on the surface, then under the surface.
On the surface, Rowling shows us nothing of Dumbledore's same-sex attraction. That's why people were shocked when she announced it. Observe: Dumbledore never overtly declares that he is gay. He never says or does anything to identify or define himself in those terms or by his own desires. Dumbledore never evidences a desire for a day when people's conception of what is "moral" will be different so that he can pursue his impulses without social stigma. Dumbledore never encourages anyone to "transcend" moral norms of acceptable sexual orientation. In fact, I contend that Dumbledore would view that not as transcendent but astransgression, and this is precisely what makes him heroic.

A lecturer of Faculty of the Arts and Design, I Wayan Sujana, was entrusted to teach the arts in the University of Western Australia (UWA), Perth, Australia. Other than giving general lectures on the arts, the man from Klungkung also gave seminars, workshops and exhibition of the works. "I will attend the event over the past two weeks (Sept 24-Oct 5)," he said.
The ISACFA Cultural Exchange and Artists Residence program filled with general lecture and workshop will be held at the UWA campus. Meanwhile, the exhibition will be held at Cullity Gallery, Perth. "This exhibition will also include the works of art by 40 lecturers from the Faculty of the Arts and Design," he added.
The Rector of ISI Denpasar, Prof. Dr. I Wayan Rai S positively responded to the activity. Even, he highly appreciated and gave full support to the continuity of cooperation between the two institutions of higher education. Prof. Rai said the partnership with the UWA indirectly opened the opportunities for cooperation with other universities in Australia.
"Edith Cowen University (ECU) has asked the ISI Denpasar to participate in the exhibition of textiles as well as to introduce the program of the newly opened Fashion Design study program," he said.
For information, previously three lecturers from the same faculty had given lectures at the UWA. All the three gave general lectures, seminars, workshops and exhibition of the works. They consisted of Ni Made Rinu, I Made Bendi Yudha, and I Komang Arba Wirawan. (BTN/015)

Second steps! You need at least 50 silver between you or the people on your server. Finally! Once all that is done, he should move in soon.

Maybe I'm being optimistic, but I believe this week was our last freeze for the season.
That means it's picnic time.
And while I'm a huge fan of crisp-crusted, yeasty European-style loaves, sometimes for a sandwich I yearn for the bread of my youth—not plastic packaged and pre-sliced but an American loaf nonetheless: white, with a touch of sweetness and a fine crumb.
And I know where to get one in Salt Lake City:
Carlucci's Bakery on 300 South, near Caputo's downtown.
For four bucks and some change, you get the perfect loaf for chicken salad, pb&j, grilled cheese, cinnamon toast, with no holes for filling to leak through. We used to call this a "Pullman" loaf, even though the baking pan may not have the traditional lid. But now the term "Pullman," like the color of a UPS truck, has lost its railroad-era cache.

First, a short update on Emma's health for you who have shown interest and concern:
sadly last week her belly became very swollen, and yesterday we went to the vet, who drained
over a liter of fluids. We were hoping that this would make her feel more comfortable,
but instead she looks more miserable than ever. While I am stuck at home with a lot
of spare time, waiting for the inevitable, I have to say that my web activities are
a very welcome pastime. So here goes today's selection of eye candy.
I haven't been able to locate much info on V. Elizabeth Cadie, except that she illustrated children's books
during the 1920, and is best known for her stylized Art Deco illustrations for Volland.
I know, that's not much at all, so if any of my readers is able contribute more data, I'll be grateful.
In the meanwhile, you may enjoy her lovely, funny, elegant and very colorful creatures and patterns.
In the meanwhile, you may enjoy her lovely, funny, elegant and very colorful creatures and patterns.

The Cat Whose Whiskers Slipped and Other Stories, 1925
The Turtle Whose Snap Unfastened, 1927

This is supposed to be one of her most beautiful books,
but I couldn't find any decent reproductions of its pages on the web.
If I do, you'll be the first to know!

Coach Mora addresses media after Monday's evening practice
Coach Ulbrich on training camp
Fauria, Zumwalt after Monday's practice
Coach Mora addresses media after the morning practice and talks about Patrick Larimore.
The Bruin football team took the field for a couple of practices on Monday at Cal State San Bernardino. In the evening session, the Bruins put on the full pads after going in shorts and helmets in the morning. Please note that Tuesday's practice has been moved to a 10:30 a.m. start time. Continue to check the website for practice time changes / updates.
The team worked extensively on the passing game and game situation drills in the evening practice. "It was a good practice for us," said coach Mora. "The guys are working hard; I like the attitude." Shaquelle Evans made a nice catch in tight coverage on a long pass play during one series. Jerry Johnson made a catch in traffic for a big gain in another. Jordan Payton also made an impressive catch-and-run. Young receivers Kenny Walker and Javon Williams continue to perform well. Ishmael Adams and Aaron Hester came up big for the secondary during a couple of the drills.
In the first practice of the day, the team worked through multiple game situations, focusing on the four-minute and two-minute drills at the end. Coach Mora noted that Patrick Larimore indicated to the team last night that he will file the paperwork for a medical retirement. The senior linebacker has experienced multiple concussions.
Coach Mora described Larimore as possessing all the qualities you love in a football player, a leader on the field and in the locker room. It was a tough decision, but one made with the long term health of the young man in mind. Coach indicated that Larimore expressed a desire to stay a part of the team and may play a role as a student-coach in the future.
If you cannot make it out to San Bernardino to check out the Bruins, make plans to be on campus in Westwood on Saturday, August 18 for a Meet the Bruins Day in Drake Stadium from 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. Fans will be able to get autographs and photos of the players and coaches, food trucks will be on site and there will be a Kids Zone and more.
UCLA opens the 2012 football season on the road with a game against Rice on August 30 (6:30 p.m. CT/4:30 p.m. PT). The Bruins then return home to the Rose Bowl for three straight games --- Nebraska (Sept. 8, 4:30 p.m.), Houston (Sept. 15, 7:30 p.m.) and Oregon State (Sept. 22, time TBA). For ticket information call 310-UCLA-WIN.
Fans heading to Cal State San Bernardino (5500 University Parkway, San Bernardino, CA 92407) should plan on bringing their own chairs, as there are no bleachers around the practice fields. Parking ($5 daily charge) can be secured at the parking kiosk off the Coyote Drive entrance to the university or at the blue automated kiosks in the lot. Plenty of parking is available in lots (Lot G is closest to field) within a short walk of the practice site located on the east side of the campus. Shade is limited, so come prepared to deal with the heat and sun.

The Picture of Dorian Gray
by Oscar Wilde
Character Role Analysis
Basil Hallward to Lord Henry Wotton
Basil is a clear foil to the malicious influence of Lord Henry Wotton. The two of them are old Oxford friends, but, frankly, we can't tell why they're friends at all—their views of the world seem to be totally different.
Basil believes in the innate goodness of man, and he simply cannot believe that anything beautiful can be evil (like Dorian, for example). He recognizes that Henry's beliefs are corrupt and amoral, and tries to get Dorian to resist the other man's influence. Basil actively tries to save Dorian, first from Henry, then eventually from himself—but alas, Dorian's not interested in salvation.
Interestingly, Lord Henry and Basil do have one thing in common—they both view Dorian as an artistic inspiration. However, while Basil actually uses Dorian as a model for his art, painting, Lord Henry's art project is far, far creepier—he uses Dorian himself as the canvas for his dark, philosophical experiments.

Behind the Scenes - Oct. 5's Commercial
You may have noticed that we've recently been producing our M Resort commercials in-house. It's a huge undertaking - the creative process and concepts, the script writing, getting all the equipment together, finding just the right actors and actresses, the big day (or days) of shooting and finally putting it all together and sending it out to the world.
We're just finishing up our latest project - a commercial you'll see in just a few days for our huge new promotion next month - the October 5's. You'll see all the details online and in print soon, but so you know it's going to be 5 weeks of drawings, 5 cars (some lovely 2011 Land Rover LR4's from Land Rover Las Vegas), 500 winners and more than $500,000 in cash and prizes. Drawings will be every Saturday at 8pm and you can start earning entries this Sunday, September 26. You can stop by the iMagine Rewards center here at M for all the details.
We had an awful lot of fun shooting this one as it's the first time we got to work with a green screen or blue room in this case! All the images and background will be superimposed after the fact, so our actress had to do an awful lot of pretending. We think it's going to turn out great, so watch for it soon! Here are a few images to give you a behind-the-scenes look at the shoot. We hope we'll see you all in October to participate in the promotion and best of luck!

This is the fun part of the hobby, sharing with someone else. My golf buddy Jeff got married last fall and this is his wedding present, a trip to Alaska. Jeff and Carol insisted we join them so it is back to Alaska we go.
The original plan was to take a four or five day Amtrak trip from Albuquerque to Los Angeles, Seattle, and Glacier National Park using the outstanding Bedroom Two Zone awards on Amtrak. When Jeff and Carol found out Katybug gets motion sickness on trains the plans changed to Alaska. Here is how we saved and arranged the trip:
I use VacationsToGo.com for cruises. It is an easy to read website and appears to offer great prices. The agent we got, Pam Dixon, was fantastic went above and beyond for us on two occasions getting us first a price reduction then cabin upgrade.
I booked early as I wanted award tickets for all four of us and found availability at the 25K level each with United. At the time the cruise priced out at $949 per person and I made my deposit and booked our award tickets for four to Seattle (two from Traverse City and two from Savannah). Our plan, as always was to arrive in Seattle the day before cruise departure.
About one month after booking the cruise and airline tickets I double checked at VacationsToGo and found the cruise had dropped to $729 each. A quick email to Pam got me a nice credit back on my credit card. We were still booked for "inside guarantee cabins". On May 31st I checked the pricing again an inside guarantee was now only $529 each. I knew that we were in the no refund period so this time asked for an upgrade to a cabin that was close to the current amount off money we had paid for the cabins. Pam wrote back indicating we had been upgraded to Family View Ocean View rooms with picture window size windows and our cabins were now assigned right down the hall from one another. Pam's willingness to continually re-book us as prices dropped allowed me to book early when the airline award seats were available and still get the lowest price possible for the cruise. Way to go Pam Dixon at VacationsToGo.
As I mentioned in an earlier post I used some of my Choice points for two rooms at the Sleep Inn SeaTac Airport (highly rated and good value per Tripadvisor) the night before the cruise.
The cruise goes to Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, Glacier Bay (I love it there), and Victoria British Columbia returning in one week back to Seattle. From their I'm off to New York to meet with the credit card issuers in my Alaska wilderness outerwear, Katy is off to see her mom in Phoenix and Jeff and Carol head back to Traverse City after I hope a memorable trip to the great north.
I'l be watching with excitement as the new couple sees the world at prices even I can afford 🙂 And I promise this trip I'll send photos. Internet access will be easier than the European cruise and Katy will have the right camera with her.

"If you were to break, for example, your hip, there would be the pain, the proof,telling you all the time it was true: that's then and this is now. But this thing–each second it had to be true all over again; she was getting hurled against each second. Now. And now again-thwack! Maybe one of these seconds she'd smash right through and find herself in the clear place where her mother was alive, scowling, criticizing…" (262)
— Deborah Eisenberg's "The Girl Who Left Her Sock on the Floor"
This passage in Deborah Eisenberg's The Girl Who Left Her Sock on the Floor stood out to me because it not only showcased the bewilderment and sense of loss felt by Francie, who is introduced as a sloppy and rebellious teenage girl, but the universal brevity and frailness of humanity. Eisenberg phrases Francie's thoughts in a disjointed, spastic way to indicate the initial disbelief she felt when she was told of her mother's death. Her mother was only in the hospital because she broke her hip, and it is very unusual for people to die of broken bones. Francie's emotional state as she reflects on how she spent her time, while her mother was either dead or dying, is one of regret and shame. Francie sees everything she did over the course of that time as frivolous and wasted and she also sees how incredibly unpredictable life is. She realizes that her mother only wanted the best opportunities for her and all of her mother's nagging and criticizing were her attempts at making Francie successful. In fact, Francie would gladly listen to her mother's chastisement if it meant being with her. By adding this climactic moment of turmoil, Eisenberg dissolves Francie's spoiled, rebellious teen persona into that of an orphan who took her mother for granted. Francie is a widely universal character because she does things that we all have done at some point or another in our lives. We feel connected to her because she does things like leave her dirty socks on the floor of her room, wear slightly scandalous outfits, and ignore her mother's criticism. When her mother dies, Francie is forced to come to terms with the reality that she is alone. She has no one that will make sure she is doing the right thing and she matures and sees the faults in her previous behavior. I can relate to Francie's feelings when her mother dies because no one really prepares us for the heartbreak that accompanies death. When your friends, family and pets die, you are stuck in a haze of denial because you can so easily dredge up memories of them. It seems so unreal that you will never see them on earth again and you are stuck with a long stretch of loneliness, a hole where that person was.

Last week was our spring break here in Memphis, TN. Now that the girls are older and both have more patience for car rides as well as more interest in seeing and learning new things, we decided to take a road trip.
To Atlanta!
It was 6.5 hours from door-to-door, and that included 3 stops. We stayed in a hotel that bordered Centennial Olympic Park, The World of Coca-Cola and the Georgia Aquarium. On the drive home, we stopped in Birmingham, Alabama, to check out the McWane Science Museum, too.
All in all, the trip was a great time, and the girls can't wait for our next adventure.
* * * * * * * *
…on our way to Georgia. Our first day in Atlanta we saw…
After Centennial Park…
The next day we took in both the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola.
There was also a pretty amazing dolphin show, but no photos or videos were allowed.
That afternoon, we headed to Coke. I was impressed with how family-friendly it was and how much they built out the brand experience. Probably the coolest part was the 3-D video experience because along with the video, your chair moved and rumbled, air and water were squirt in your face and I even felt like someone jabbed me in the shoulder with their finger at one point.
And now for the Birmingham portion of our trip. If you aren't from the South or don't currently live in the South, you are probably thinking, "Alabama?!?" But I give tons of props and two thumbs up to the #ALLCAPSAWESOME McWane Science Center and it's four floors of kiddie science stuff.
We also played with bubbles, pet some sharks and got to see an octopus and moray eel while there.
Next stop? Chicago in the summer. I cannot wait!
What vacations have you enjoyed as a family?

NEW ORLEANS - Tulane men's basketball coach Perry Clark announced Thursday that Sherrod Teasley has signed a National Letter-of-Intent to attend the school and compete for the Green Wave. He will join the team in the fall of 2000.
Teasley, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound, point guard from Notre Dame Academy in Middleburg, Va., averaged 13.0 points, 9.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds last season for coach Larry Cullinane. He is rated as the No. 30 point guard in the nation by FastBreak Recruiting service.
As a senior, he guided Notre Dame Academy to an 18-10 record as an independent and earned first team all-Lodoun County honors. He was also an honorable mention all-city pick by the Washington Post. As a junior, he averaged 16 points per game at Notre Dame Academy while playing the shooting guard position.
Teasley is a proven winner with outstanding leadership and passing abilities. He also attended St. John's Prospect Hall in Frederick, Md., while in high school and was the starting point guard on the school's 1998 National Championship squad. That team posted a 25-0 record and ended the year ranked No. 1 in the nation by USA Today.
Teasley is the first recruit to sign with Tulane this spring. He joins David Hawkins, Wayne Tinsley and George Brown, who signed with the Green Wave during the November signing period.
Clark and the Green Wave returns six players from last season's 20-11 squad that
participated in the NIT.

Is your company still struggling to make MPLS work? Though it may do the job, outages are common -- and costly. Not only that, security is a major concern as is maintenance. These shortcomings continue to drag down MPLS and break the budgets of those who have opted in. Fortunately, there's a better way.
Last month, Larry Chaffin from Pluto Networks published a post about why MPLS is failing companies around the world and his company's response to it. Chaffin touched on some of MPLS's major shortcomings including:
- MPLS installation time - Ordering and installing MPLS is a major undertaking. In the United States, expect anywhere from 30 to 60 days. Overseas, expect it to take between 60 to 120 days to install MPLS!
- MPLS costs - MPLS is not cheap. Not only that, constant MPLS appliance refreshes often mean investing in new hardware soon after the initial purchase.
- MPLS security - MPLS is not encrypted or secure. Concerns about hacking and government spying are valid -- even in the United States thanks to the NSA scandal.
Chaffin's frustration with MPLS led him to seek alternatives. He ultimately partnered with Aryaka. Aryaka's WAN solutions overcome the shortcomings of MPLS by delivering WAN optimization as a service. Instead of relying on MPLS and WAN devices, Aryaka's users connect to an optimized network in the cloud. Cloud-based applications such as Microsoft 365, Google Apps, and Salesforce.com are accelerated without the need for costly and unreliable MPLS connections. Where MPLS takes months to install, Aryaka's WAN optimization as a service takes mere minutes to set up and deliver.
According to Aryaka, the benefits of its WAN solutions over MPLS include:
- Direct connection to Amazon Web Services
- Global, optimized network
- Predictable high performance
- Bandwidth scaling for "LAN-like" performance over the WAN
- Application acceleration
- End-to-end network visibility
- Zero capital expense model
- Fast deployment
Where MPLS is costly, WAN optimization as a service is not. Where MPLS takes months to deploy, WAN optimization is ready to go in minutes. Simply pay for what you use and enjoy the benefits of a fully optimized WAN around the world in a matter of minutes.

From the moment we wake up in the morning to the moment we lie down to sleep at night, how does the death of Christ on the cross transform every single detail of our day? How does the cross compel daily disciplines like prayer and Bible reading or a regular routine of fasting and worship? How does the cross change the way we view our jobs and vocations throughout the day as well as the way we rest and relax at the end of the day? What, if any, unique effect does the cross have on the ways we spend our time, set our priorities, make our decisions, and love our neighbors? How does the cross change the way we view food and exercise, sports and entertainment in this world? The Bible says, "Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31). So how do we do that? And how does the cross of Christ inevitably enable us to do that? During this Secret Church, as we explore the implications of the death of Christ for our daily lives, we will discover the exhilarating joy that is found in following Jesus to the glory of God on a moment-by-moment, day-by-day basis.

State 4A track (VIDEO): Springs' Lodge soars past 24 feet for surprise win in long jump
WINTER PARK Coral Springs senior Demornie Lodge was hoping to finish his high school career by topping 23 feet in the long jump for the first time. His best was 22-11 as last week's regional. After opening with a disappointing 21-foot effort, Lodge skipped 23 feet altogether with the jump of his life, 24-1 ¼, to win his first state title Saturday.
"I thought it was a scratch. Before I turned around I said to my dad, 'Tell me there's not a red flag behind me,' and there wasn't," Lodge said. "It feels pretty awesome."
St. Thomas' Phillip Doresett was second at 23-11 ½. Lodge came in seeded eighth; his previous best finish at state was fourth.
"One jump is all it takes," Lodge said. "I'm very much surprised."

The slow cooker is to fall what the grill is to summer: A great way to get dinner on the table quickly.
As family schedules start to get more hectic, the slow cooker can be a life-saver when it comes to making dinner without actually being at home.
As luck would have it, Phyllis Good, the fairy godmother of slow cooker cooks, has released a new cookbook, the "Fix-It and Forget-It New Cookbook," ($19.95, softcover, Good Books), with more than 250 slow cooker recipes.
Here's an easy one to try for bratwurst and potatoes that would probably get gobbled up at a tailgate, too.
