The picture perfect weather could not have arrived at a better moment. This weekend, get ready for the Miami Music Festival, new brunches and a trail of great cocktails along the way.
Tacontento Opens the Agave Bar
No need to wait until the weekend to get started. Locally loved Tacontento on Lincoln Lane opens its Agave Bar tonight (Nov. 11th) with a big launch party. This evening, the margarita takes backstage to complimentary tequila cocktails that focus on freshness by utilizing fruit purees and aromatic herbs and spices. With complimentary beer, wine and bites being passed around, the Agave Bar is set for a packed house and a great night from 6 p.m to 10 p.m.
The Miami Music Festival
Featuring over 400 acts, The Second Annual Miami Music Festival starts tonight (Nov. 11th) and runs through Sunday (Nov 14th). With venues all over the city hosting performances, there are watering hole options to satisfy any imbibing and music aesthetic, among them Cafeina, The Living Room, Tobacco Road, The Grove Spot, and Titantic Brewery. All-access tickets are a steal at $25 for the entire weekend or at $15 for single-night access. Don't get too carried away rocking out around the city. Bayfront Park hosts the main event (complete with an all-day BBQ) on Saturday and Sunday. And, as you know, Mia at Biscayne and the DRB are right in the neighborhood.
Tailored Fridays at Sunset Lounge
Audaciously chic cocktailians rejoice! The Mondrian's posh Sunset Lounge begins its new Friday weekly tomorrow at 10 p.m. Featuring house, R & B and hip-hop, Tailored Fridays matches haute style with fine cocktails and a beautiful bay view. Strut out to the Mondrian in your finest South Beach chic and lounge in luxury.
The Aqua Affair
Nothing is better than eating, drinking and celebrating for a cause. This Saturday join The Aqua Foundation for Women's Aqua Affair at The Space in the Wynwood Design District. Your $30 ticket benefits these wonderful women's work to insure wellness and equality for the LBT community in South Florida. Meet them at 8 p.m. to enjoy an evening of bites, Aquatinis and a silent auction. The Space is located at 104 NE 24 Street. Tickets are $30 in advance or $35 at the door.
Brunch Just Got Better
Two new brunches that linger well into the afternoon are available this weekend. Sugarcane is launching Saturday and Sunday offerings that include breakfast, raw bar options and sushi. Served up with pitchers of caipirinhas or sangria, this weekend restorative calls for a few hours of leaning back with fresh libations. If you prefer the view on South Beach, head over to Nikki Beach for its new Sunday brunch complete with omelette, waffle and sushi stations as well as optional VIP bottle and beverage service. If that wasn't enough to savor, massages are also available for those who need their tummy rubbed after overindulging.
Eat, drink, play and just call the damn cab: 304-444-4444.

The ACGA invites you to attend the virtual symposium, Cyber Defense in the Public Sector. This online event features three compelling sessions that will help you better understand and manage the risks associated with cyber defense within your organization.
Cyber attacks are occurring at all levels of government. Are you prepared to address the risks associated with cyber defense within your organization?
This program is designed to benefit both IT and non-IT auditors.
Do you really understand the risks presented by those functions outsourced? With the expansion of outsourcing key processes within the organization, the risk still exists and can increase if not managed effectively. Mark will summarize many of the key points from his recently published IIA Research Foundation book Auditing Outsourced Functions including a maturity model for outsourcing that was specifically developed for the book. This session is a must for those trying to get a better assurance of the outsourcing world and adding value to the organization.
Mark Salamasick, CIA, CISA, CRMA, CSP, Director of the Center for Internal Auditing Excellence at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD)
Organizations increasingly share their critical information assets and outsource business and IT processes to third-party service providers to stay competitive and cut costs. As a consequence, organizations need to proactively measure and monitor their vendor-related risks, particularly when access is given to an organization's most critical data. Join Greg Wallig and Kirt Seale of Grant Thornton as they discuss tactics for measuring, mitigating, and monitoring third-party risks impacting government auditors.
Greg Wallig, CISA, CGEIT, Principal, Global Public Sector for Grant Thornton, LLP
Kirt Seale, CISA, MCSE, Principal, Advisory Services and National Special Attestation Report Solution Leader for Grant Thornton LLP
The session will cover how high-risk contracts can impair mission accomplishment, financial well-being, and service delivery in the public sector. Contract types and their associated risk factors will be discussed as well as case examples of contracting failures from federal, state,and local governments. Issues in auditing strategic and transactional aspects of contract risk will be explored using a seven-part framework for auditing the performance of public sector procurements.

Fake alcohol seizures in Havering are highest in Britain
09:00 09 April 2012
»There were more seizures of counterfeit alcohol in Havering last year than in any other local authority in the country, according to a survey.
Trading standards officers in the borough carried out 22 raids of fake alcoholic goods in 2011, a massive increase from just four in 2010 and three in 2009.
Research by Engineering and Technology Magazine revealed the figures last week, as part of a comparison of more than 80 local authorities in the UK.
Overall, the magazine found that seizures by trading standards teams across the country of counterfeit goods including alcohol and tobacco have soared over the past three years.
Havering's figures were boosted by a crackdown last March in which almost a quarter of independent off-licences in the borough were found to be selling counterfeit wine.
Council officers found 340 bottles of wine labelled as Jacob's Creek in 19 different off-licences at the time.
The labels on the fake bottles all had the same spelling mistake – the makers of the fake wine printed "South Eastern Austrlia" instead of South Eastern Australia' – missing out an 'a'.
It was a poor quality wine, but was not dangerous.
Two off-licences were fined for selling the wine in February of this year.
Havering Council's cabinet member for housing and public protection, Cllr Lesley Kelly, welcomed the statistic and said: "We will continue to crackdown on counterfeit goods of any type.
"We don't want consumers to be ripped off by buying inferior alcohol at an inflated price and we don't want responsible retailers to suffer either."
The council carried out three seizures of fake cigarettes and five of counterfeit clothing in 2011.

I have a VPS with 30 WordPress sites. I am running nginx & APC and notice it eats up my RAM up to 1GB and it increases each time I add another site. I notice APC is the one that's causing the increasing of ram usage. Is there a way to optimize this?
It's hard to answer this given that each site is most likely different and each server is also configured differently.
If these sites are individual WordPress installs then 1GB /30 sites is normal, an absolute bare minimum per site would be 32MB for
32MB is in my opinion way to low, it's impossible to tell from your question how loaded the sites are but you should be looking at having more RAM allocated to APC, this would exceed 1GB of RAM easily.
Some Solutions:
You should look over the APC settings, this is like fine tuning a car, it can make a big difference or destroy your server so be careful.
Reference : http://www.php.net/manual/en/apc.configuration.php
Some things that will effect your RAM use:
ps. Do not play with APC settings on a production server.
I am using for caching Redis for wordpress.I got amazing results.

lion in regard to tbe opening busidets

of gieat mineral wealth in Vinton Co.
from the Daily Scioto OazcUt of the
i;h insi:
As every thing ronnecltd with the
tfubjrct of Minerals is deserving atten
tion, I would state briefly, toot the pro
duction of Iron at the several Furnace
on and near the line of the M. qr C.
R, R. in Vinton County, is in stsady
progress. Tbe excellent qualty of this i.
ron has already secured for it a prefer
ence in the surrouuding markets, lea
ding to an active demand for it, and
stimulating to new enterprises in this
importrnl Dranih of domestic manufac
tures. Other "Furnace Sites"are in con
leinplalioii, in Vinton county, by which
the production of iron is s con to be
greatly augmented.
At Hainden, where several of tbe Fur
naces will have their connection with
the Railroad, there is at present a large
amount of freight accunmlated.io which
daily accessions will be made.
The opening of the M.& C. R. R. to
Hamdeo. and its speedy extension to
Judge Murdock s, "Big Sand Furnace,"
and Alheus, is afordiug the desired la
cility for tu transportation of the Iron
arid Coal of Vinton county to the most
favorable markets. The train of to-day,
upon which the writer came from Ham
den to this city iucluded five car loads
of Iron, 3 of lumber, 2 of Coal, and ' ol
Wheat. I learned that the Iron was des
tined for Cleveland, now becomeingan
important market for that article.
The rilizeus of Chillicothe, as well
as tbe fr.ends.of the M. & C. R. R., are
indebted to S. W, Ely, Esq., for the
first Viutoo county coal brought upon
the Railroad to this place. The favorable
situation of bis coal lands, aad tbe am
ple preparation he baa made for opera
ting extensively, to say nothing of the
superior quolity of his coal, will soon
lead to a more familiar ; acquaintance
with Mr. Ely's demonstrates in this
Other enterprises of the same kind on
the line of the R. B. east of Hamden,
are in a state of forwardness and give
promise of exteasive operations i.i the
coal business.
Tbe great Mineral wealth of Vinton
county iiasyetbut partially uuderslood
aud will require many years fully to de

attention of capitalists has been and
continues to be directed to Vintou coun

Davis, lemarks. that 1 jtt iuch to
the persoual suggestion nj advice of
the ex-Governor, kindly end earnestly
bestowed in earlier years, d adds;
"The last counsel we received from bim
was characteristic of the man. It was on
the deck of a vessel that lay with loos
tned sails rod shortest cable, that we
still in boyhood just commencing years
of wandering a od hardship, received a
parting grasp of his pure hand with these
words God bust vou! llcmembcr what
I vt laid; and wherever you go, neaek
run on voua moth En! What belter
charge could be given a lad launching
forth ou life's deteitful tide,' where the
chart abd compass of his young head
aud beart must be his ouly protection
Irom shipwreck. Many years have passed
away, aud that good man has finished
the voyage of lime; he has disappeared
adowu the dark stream of death, and we
doubt not, has reached that celestial
heaven where the s'orms of earth are
never known, aud exchanged the anchoi
symbol which ha ever carried at the
prow during life for blissful realization."

IN issuing their Prospectus for 1856. tbe
proprietors of the Post take it tor granted,
that the public are already tolerably well

Iras faculties which delight in the humorous

enlarged and generous view of human nature

Relevant, and hilarious: The League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I honestly don't keep up enough with football to participate, but it does sound fun.
A Fantasy Football team works this way: We have a draft or an auction where we claim real life players for our imaginary team. Most leagues have a rule that no two teams can claim the same person - so only one team can have Peyton Manning, one team can have Drew Brees, etc. And then when Peyton scores, your imaginary team scores. Each week you play another coach's fantasy team, and the team who scores the most points wins.
The complexity comes by drafting more players than you can actually start, so you have to make roster decisions each week. Do I start Peyton at QB, or maybe some lesser QB like Matt Shaub (Houston Texans) because Denver is playing Baltimore (a team known for its good defense) and Houston is playing the Colts (a team known for its pourous defense).
Some leagues also draft defensive players that can add or subtract points based on defensive stats like takeaways, interceptions, unassisted tackles, etc.
As an example, the league I've run for 20 years now has a roster of 16, of which you start 8 players: 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR/TE, 1 PK, and 1 Defense/Special Team. Scoring is one for one (meaning a touchdown is worth 6 points) plus bonus yards of +1 point for every 40 yards (longer scoring plays will net you more points). We also award stat points for every 25 yrds rushing / receiving and 75 yrds passing. Finally, we award a point for fumble takeaway and interceptions and sacks.
We draft an entire team every year (some leagues are "keeper" leagues, meaning you can designate 1-2 players on your roster you get to keep from the previous year). Our draft is an "auction", meaning that we meet up in the preseason with $100 monopoly bucks and bid on the players we want. If a person REALLY wants Peyton, they can spend all their salary cap on him. Another way to conduct your draft is by traditional draft - meaning that each team is assigned a draft order, and when it is your turn you get to pick whomever you want.
BTW, I'm not suggesting any format for our league here -- although I will note that we have atleast 6-7 people interested in being in the HFC league. That's enough to run one!

Judicial Watch just released their '2013 Top Ten list of America's most corrupt politicians.'
Leading the list is none other than House Majority Leader John Boehner.
As the Judicial Watch editorial board described the Speaker, "House Speaker John Boehner has apparently become a master at what Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer calls the "Tollbooth Strategy."
In Schweizer's new book, Extortion: How Politicians Extract Your Money, Buy Votes, and Line Their Own Pockets:, he explains "You pay money at a tollbooth in order to use a road or bridge. The methodology in Washington is similar: if someone wants a bill passed, charge them money to allow the bill to move down the legislative highway."
According to Schweizer, "Boehner apparently used the Tollbooth Strategy to collect more than $200,000 in political donations."
The Speaker was number one on the dubious Top Ten joined by:
• CIA Director John Brennan
• Senator Saxby Chambliss
• Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
• Attorney General Eric Holder
• Former IRS Commissioner Steven T. Miller / Former IRS Official Lois Lerner
• Former DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano
• President Barack Obama
• Senator Harry Reid (D-NV)
• Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius
Dishonorable Mentions for 2013 include:
• Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg
• Outgoing Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) / Incoming Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D)
• Former Rep. Rick Renzi (R-AZ)
• National Security Adviser Susan Rice
"Congratulations" are in order for all the ten "honorees" and runner-up honorable mentions.

DALLAS (SMU) - The SMU women's basketball team fell to the Houston Jaguars Thursday evening in exhibition play by the score of 68-65 at Moody Coliseum on the campus of SMU. Four Mustangs scored in double figures in the loss.
Both teams came out a bit tight and each had their share of turnovers. SMU shot 40% from the field in the first half while the Jaguars hit 34.2% of their shots. The score was knotted at 33-33 at the intermission.
In the second half, SMU came out on fire and built its lead to as many as 15 points (57-42) at the 11:54 mark. But Houston chipped away at the lead and knocked it down to three points (63-60) with 5:03 remaining in the game. With a 65-60 lead with 3:55 remaining, the Jaguars would score the final eight points of the game while the Mustangs got ice cold from the field and the free throw line.
Junior post Sarah Davis collected a double-double with a team-high 13 points and 13 rebounds. Davis also recorded four blocked shots in the game. Freshman Sharee Shepherd posted 12 points (10 in the first half) while Juli Colli scored 11 points and added five steals.

Deputy Prime Minister and Commander of the National Guard Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, who is currently on a tour of the Eastern Province, attended the celebrations in Dhahran yesterday marking the 40th anniversary of the King Fahd University for Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM). Speaking on the occasion, the Crown Prince highlighted the significant role being played by the university in the service of society. He urged the students to adhere to the teachings of Islam, which is a religion of moderation and wisdom, warned against trends of extremism, which always has dangerous repercussions, and advised them to consult the reliable source of the ulama (Muslim scholars) in the Kingdom, in order to learn the proper teachings of the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah (the sayings and teaching of the Prophet).
Crown Prince Abdullah's tour of the Eastern Province includes the opening today of the third phase of the desalination project in Al-Khobar, the inauguration two days ago of projects in the industrial city of Jubail, and the official opening of the Al-Hawiyya gas project, as well as a number of other projects, including hospitals, parks, roads and bridges.
The Crown Prince also attended a meeting of the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, whose Chairman, Prince Saud bin Thinayyan, briefed him on achievements in the two industrial cities. Prince Saud commented that when set up, the commission aimed at 14 industrial complexes, but has built 30; targeted private investment of SR 55 billion [U.S. $14.69 billion], but has attracted SR 180 billion [$ 48.06 billion]; and planned for 27,000 new jobs, but has created 86,000. In the next phase, another SR 131 billion [$34.98 billion] investment is expected, with 55,000 more job opportunities. Minister of Industry and Electricity Dr. Hashem Yamani noted that industry now contributes 10 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), with revenues from Saudi industrial exports amounting to SR 30 billion [$8.01 billion] last year.

Jason Day wins the RBC Canadian Open in a thriller of a finish at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Canada.
Jason found the bunker off the tee on eighteen, he had a one shot lead at the time. He found a way to make a birdie from the bunker, giving him a two shot advantage at -17 under par. That meant that Bubba Watson and David Hearn would have to Eagle the last to get into a play-off.
Jason told reporters that after last week there was no way he was going to leave that last putt short;
"This course is really exciting, even Bubba and David had a chance to make it into a playoff. I needed that putt on 18."
"To be able to put yourself in contention so many times, especially in major events and just fall short, even going back to last week leaving the putt short and not being able to get into the playoff really kind of was disappointing."
"So when I actually had the same putt, it was a very similar putt on the 72nd hole today."
"Same things were going through my mind. Make sure you get it to the hole."
"Fortunately enough for me, it was quick enough to where I just needed to get it on the line. If I got it on the line, it was perfect."
"I just knew as soon as I hit the putt about six feet out, I knew it was going to come back and go in the hole. "
"It was great to feel like a Canadian for a week. The last two weeks have been a big grind for me, but it's all worth it. Right now, I'm so proud to be the Canadian Open champion."
Bubba found the green with his second shot, but it ran just passed the hole and settled into the fringe. He tried to make his Eagle with a 7 wood, but it missed by six inches, his total of -16 under par giving Jason the win.
Bubba said he was just hoping that the guy in front of him was not making putts;
"Fifteen was one I got lucky with. I hit a great shot in there."
"I had an 8-iron that I flared on 16 but still got a birdie. Then hit a perfect 8-iron that flew five yards too far on 18."
"I was just hoping the other guy named Jason Day wasn't making putts."
David, with the whole of Canada urging him on to be the first Canadian to win since 1954, found the greenside bunker with his second shot to 18, and could only make par from there, and had to settle for third place at -15 under par.
David mentioned the putting, and how good it had been all week;
"I felt confident, like I was putting well all week, I hit really really good putts that didn't go in."
"Winning a golf tournament on the PGA TOUR is no easy task."
"Canadians want to see it, and we want to do it so bad."
David also picked up the Rivermead Challenge Cup as low Canadian. This is his third time winning the honor.

J. Desmond Clark
Back when I was just starting out
as an undergraduate, Desmond Clark came to my college for a semester
to teach and give a series of public lectures. He was so prestigious
that he was monopolised by the staff and we undergraduates weren't
allowed to attend his seminars, but somehow I managed to meet him
at some sort of reception. We got to talking about how we both loved
to collect 'stuff' as kids and he told me that I had the makings
of a good archaeologist. What a thrill that was. Someone understood
my passion. After that I used to run into him in the library and
we had some wonderful long chats about archaeology. He didn't seem
to mind that I was an ignorant beginner. He had lots of time for
an eager disciple. His encouragement gave me enormous confidence
and was absolutely critical to my continuing in archaeology. He
continued to be a great role model through his prolific writing.
I'm sorry that our paths didn't cross again, but I treasure my memories
of his kindness and his passion for archaeology. He will be remembered
by me at least as a generous and inspiring person as well as for
his substantial and influential contributions to our shared discipline.

What Lasts is the Breath
Poems by Janet Eigner
Black Swan Editions/Santa Fe 2013
And as I listen to and read these poems, I am heart-broken, opened, and then enlivened, and begin myself to see those I have lost in the elements, in moving clouds, the rain, in dancing fireplace flames, and suddenly then feel strengthened by their presence.
In a journey of writing for ten years on the untimely death of her 37-year-old daughter Naomi from an inoperable brain tumor that was late in being diagnosed, Janet Eigner has brought forth a handsome collection of poems that are already in nomination for the New Mexico-Arizona Book Award. Isaac's Blessing, a poem from this collection, was chosen by former U.S Poet Laureate Ted Kooser and posted on the Poetry Foundation's website American Life in Poetry, and a chapbook containing a selection of these poems, Cornstalk Mother, was published by Puddinghouse Publishers in 2009.
Her loss was especially difficult for Eigner, because she did not get across country in time to be at her daughter's side when she died. As Eigner presses to share of herself, her poetry is lyrical, sometimes angry, pleading, all too human, and eventually transcendent.
An idea that seemed to catalyze the entire experience and bring it forward in new ways for Eigner is a meeting with a Hopi woman. As it is for many of us who come to the Southwest, contacts she has had with other cultures touched off something deep within Eigner that had been forgotten or never before experienced, and that eventually brought her around to honoring her own wisdom.
In the book's first part, the poems reflect on a life that foreshadows the coming tragedy. At first there are bitter self-recriminations, she recalls only missed opportunities, only the times as a parent she wasn't available, didn't listen, wasn't there for her daughter. In Rue Madder, she writes, "Oh my girl slowly fed me rue's bitter leaves trying to attune my mother-ear."
Her daughter Naomi was a potter, and ominously was drawn to making clay skulls. In Clay Vessels, Eigner rages at the small town doctor's misdiagnoses, "like a blindered horse, he said 'depression' and 'sinus'" but she moves the poem forward to recall the clay shapes her daughter fashioned, "She formed mermaids inside cerulean, frontal lobe lagoons" and finally ends in a graceful loop: "Feeling her fate, she threw not dice but clay."
Moments of grief shoot through unexpectedly, like the mason jars of blackberries her daughter had gathered with her young son Isaac, in "Last Harvest":
After his mother died, Isaac wouldn't allow
the blackberry jam jars from his sight.
He ran toward us when his father tried
to bestow a jar, flexed his hands
like a cop directs traffic,
frantic and yelling, No, no, no!
Eventually there come the grinding days of moving forward, and then glimpses of insight, often precipitated by thoughts that were shared with her by a Hopi mother, a woman she met on a visit to the Hopi mesas, who she quotes in the frontispiece to the book and from which the title comes, "What lasts is the breath. Its moisture binds all creation. When someone dies at Hopi, and then real soon it rains or snow, we know that spirit has returned one last time."
A particularly remarkable poem that follows that thought is "A Wheel in the Wheel."
About that poem, Eigner says, "When Naomi returned to me as a swirl of snowflakes when no snow was falling anyplace in the vicinity, (my poem "A Wheel in the Wheel") I was both referencing Ezekiel, the Kabbalistic concept of reincarnation and experiencing and believing her reincarnation was in progress." The poem coalesces for Eigner around the idea of her daughter's spirit, that it had gone to join the moisture; and finally, in a fall of snowflakes, she rejoices in the return of her daughter's spirit in the elements:
As I dragged down the cold
graveled path toward the mail,
a tickle tendered my lips.
A column of sheer lace had dropped
from the blue as snowflakes spun
around my face, spiraled solely around me,
and the wheeling now flamed me.
A melting joy pooled certainty
that my daughter deep-swam
through some new realm,
while the great circling prairie grass
glowed dry and gold, the mountains'
juniper ridges remained wholly green.
I thanked my daughter
for her embrace,
her spirit touching
my own.
Reflecting on her contact with the Hopi and how it deepened her understanding of Judaism, Eigner, said, "I do understand that ruach, (breath or spirit or wind) all can refer in Jewish belief, to God, and that the concept began simply and gained God meaning over the centuries of Jewish evolution."
The poems eventually lead up to the joy in her daughter's younger son, and their son's new son. In "Nieto's First Voyage Forward," she writes joyfully of his unexpected first crawling forward towards her:
crawls forward, spies me peeking,
my wild love—
my transformed grief careening off the bedroom walls.
The baby and I can't stop laughing
at his determined, delighted forward creep.
Like a new-born star's journey of light years
or a comet cycling back
he arrives, for now, in my lap.
Eigner, now 70, has had a long career as a psychologist and writer of dance articles and reviews. Her life-long serious studies as a poet began in college and continued through one-on-one training with poetry professors, workshops with illustrious poets like Carolyn Forche, and writing groups.
She said, "By the time I landed in Santa Fe, in 1999, I had attained a level of proficiency that I just needed a writing group of peers to keep the input coming and the isolation from visiting. I was still maintaining a busy psychology private practice."
Writers from her two poetry groups have become good friends. She says, "I've been writing with one of those poets, Steven Counsell, for 25 years. Four of us have formed a small publishing house, Black Swan Editions. We meet once a week to critique each other's poems, learn and laugh a lot. We present readings together and go to local and out-of-state book fairs together."
Counsell's drawings illustrate the poetry in a profound marriage, and interestingly were done before the collection was put together. "Steve's India ink drawings are an integral part of What Lasts Is The Breath. He drew them in the couple of years I was worrying about Naomi's health, and titled the series, Before the Fall, though I didn't know he was doing the series, and I'm still not sure if he had an intuition or unconscious feeling about Naomi's decline or if some other reason prompted him to do those exquisite drawings. Each drawing is a plant or flower that subtly transforms into a human, most are transformations into women. I knew the bold beauty of the drawings deepened the emotion and subject of each poem with which the drawings are paired."
Eigner also meets with hospice and grief groups to share her poems and asks participants to bring and share "prayers, poems, music, jokes, experiences that helped them through their journey through grief." She explains to them that she found a structure, "after I'd written all of the 63 poems that went into the book, the poems naturally separated into these stages, periods that fit for me," and in her presentations goes on to share poems at each of these stages for discussion. She identifies them as her personal stages, not necessarily anyone else's:
"The first stage, premonitions that something was terribly wrong, health-wise, with our daughter. Second: her passing and the rituals attendant with memorials, grief, terrible regret and so much support from family & friends; the desperation to connect with our daughter on the other side, and the desperation and fierce, protective love I felt for her sons, particularly the toddler, Isaac.
"Third: the lonely minutes, days, months, years, decade, eventually, when there was no one to support me/us during a particular wave of grief, just having to tough it out (this is when poems generally came to me and helped me through the pain).
"Fourth: signs of renewal: birth of our son's son who is a fourth grandson and all of the joy and savoring a new life."
The next public readings Eigner has scheduled in 2013 will be on Wednesday, November 6, 6:30,pm, at Chabad Jewish Center, Jewish Women's Circle in Santa Fe (reservations required; fee for supper buffet) and on Sunday, November 10th, 3pm, La Tienda Performance Space, Eldorado.

Sam Flowers
From Grand Theft Wiki
Samuel Flowers is a Liberty City politician, briefly mentioned in a Weazel News radio broadcast. During a celebration, he accidentally ate a used urinal cake (believing it was a confectionery cake) and immediately blamed minorities and/or homosexuals for an attempt on his life. He was previously known for other racist and homophobic comments. Flowers, like most politicians featured in Grand Theft Auto IV is likely a parody of ultra-Conservative, racist, homophobic politicians.

What makes a good video game commercial? For this writer it has to have some pizazz to it. It has to be funny and introduce a clever way to meld reality with gameplay. Who needs movies based off of games when ads are sometimes way better at establishing a universe?
These may not be those, but these ten Mario Kart ads are the best for the series if not some of the best game ads of all time. It's a nice tribute to the series. So let's travel to America, Japan, and Europe in a whacky ride through the ten best Mario Kart commercials.

College Hockey:Buckeyes Earn First-Ever Win Over Wisconsin
OSU Claims Lefty McFadden Title
DAYTON, Ohio — It had to happen sometime.
With goals from five different players and a solid performance by sophomore netminder Joseph Palmer, the Ohio State Buckeyes outlasted the surprised Wisconsin Badgers, 5-3, for their first hockey win over Big Ten rival UW.
"I'm happy with our whole team," said OSU head coach John Markell. "I thought we responded well to last night, and I thought that we responded well tonight."
Senior John Dingle's second goal of the weekend, late in the second on the power play, held up to be the game-winner to give the Buckeyes their first 2-0 start since the 1999-2000 season.
"Two wins, especially coming from being down … are both really great wins," said Dingle. "It's huge to have a great start like that."
Goals by senior Matt McIlvane and freshman Sergio Somma gave Ohio State a 2-0 lead before the four-minute mark of the first, on just three shots on net, and before the Badgers had registered a shot of their own, and none of it was what the Badgers expected.
"It wasn't the start we wanted," said UW head coach Mike Eaves. "I think the large part is they played cranked up, they played at a higher pace than we saw last night and we weren't ready for it. We talk about getting that first goal and we got behind and could never quite get back again."
McIlvane's slowish shot from near the intersection of the blue line and the boards at the top of the right circle beat Wisconsin goaltender Shane Connelly five-hole at 2:12 and so rattled the Badgers that they went to the penalty box 35 seconds later. On that power play, Somma caught Kyle Hood's rebound at 3:46, giving OSU that early 2-0 lead.
Wisconsin took advantage of a four-on-three power play at 8:50 to draw within one, when Jamie McBain took a pass from Kyle Turris in the slot to get one past a screened Palmer, making it 2-1.
OSU took a two-goal lead again when Patrick Schafer, knocked into the crease by a Badger defender, returned the favor by knocking in the puck, unassisted, to make it 3-1, but UW cut that lead less than two minutes later. From the boards at the far side of the left circle, Brendan Smith found Ben Street between the circles and Street fired, dinging something hard before the puck went in behind Palmer to draw the Badgers within one again.
Wisconsin announced its collective presence with authority at the start of the second, when Turris scored his second goal of the weekend, on a fast break at 2:20. McBain nearly had his second of the night for the Badgers just two minutes later, when his shot hit the right post and then the crossbar before scuttling harmlessly away.
Both teams settled into a smoother second, but the Buckeyes made the Badgers pay for an interference call late in the play with another go-ahead goal, this time with Dingle's one-timer at 18:29, and OSU led again by one going into the third.
"My position on the power play is pretty phenomenal," said Dingle. "I just sit in front of the net and that's about it. Peter Boyd, a freshman, made a really nice play to get the puck over, and we've been going over that in practice. He can't make it pretty, so I have to be kind of light on my stick, and sure enough the puck got there and it was just a tap-in. There was not much else to do but put it in the net."
The Buckeyes found themselves in a two-man hole for more than a minute near the start of the third, and the successful penalty kill cemented OSU's win. The Badgers couldn't buy a break during their advantage with Turris first hitting the far post from the top of the left circle, and Ryan McDonagh unable to get enough wood on a juicy gift of a puck at the bottom of the right post, with some wide-open net and Palmer scrambling for position.
At the end of that kill and down just one man, Buckeye Kyle Reed broke in on Connelly, eating up much of the rest of the UW advantage.
And just 1:32 after the Buckeyes returned to full strength, after pressing Wisconsin in the Badger end, Corey Elkins made it 5-3 when he picked Davis Drewiske's pocket in front of the UW net and backhanded it past Connelly, five-hole.
"That was one of those turning points in the game," said Eaves. "Kyle, he blasted several good shots and if one finds the net, it's a 4-4 game, instead, right after they kill it, they steal the puck and put it in and put it out of reach for us. Other than [not] putting the puck in the net, we did good things on the five-on-three.
"We had our chances five-on-three. We battled to put ourselves in position to create some scoring chances but didn't make it 4-4, and then they take it the next step and make it 5-3."
On yet another power play later in the period, McDonagh again found himself with a nice target, with Palmer drawn left and the right side of the goal open, but when he fired, he broke his blade on the ice and the puck scooted wide of the net.
The Buckeyes finished the night 2-for-7 on the power play, the Badgers 1-for-6. Palmer made 27 saves for OSU, Connelly 25 for UW.
After the game, both Markell and Eaves emphasized the youth of their squads. The Buckeyes dressed eight freshmen to the Badgers' seven, but OSU also had seven senior skaters while UW fielded just three. And Ohio State's freshmen include a mix of older players with the young, while Wisconsin's rookies are young. Three of OSU's freshmen are drafted, while four UW players are spoken for — three in the first round.
"Are we where we want to be? No, but it's a good start with a young team," said Markell. "We did it with guys in different positions. Schafer getting his first goal, taking it to the net, young Boyd taking it to the net. Our veterans killing off those penalties — it's big."
"There were moments when we were very good," said Eaves. "There were also moments when we played when we played reckless, which is the product of having a young team.
"There's lots to learn. We'll just go back to the drawing board. In this league [the CCHA] to be good, you've got to be consistent both nights, and we've got to find our consistency factor. So we go back to work on Monday."
Next week, the Buckeyes (2-0-0) begin CCHA action in a home-and-home series Friday and Sunday against instate rival Miami, while Wisconsin (1-1-0) hosts Robert Morris Friday and Saturday.

The shelter receives no government support and relies solely on donations of time, services, goods and money from its many supporters and local businesses. Good Mews is home to approximately 100 residents on any given day – most of whom reside at the Shelter in Marietta, with some cats residing in foster homes.

A WIDOWER was presented with a rare Manchester United watch similar to one given to him by his late wife which was stolen by burglars.
Christopher Dutton, 63, of Worsbrough, was left terrified after two burglars broke into his home early on January 25 and forced him to sit down as they ransacked his house.
They made off with the limited edition watch, his wedding ring and £3 in cash.
He reported the burglary to the police and was astonished when DC Louise Little contacted the Manchester club for a replacement.
They directed her to suppliers Danbury Mint, which had one left and gave it to Christopher free.
He was presented with the watch by Ch Supt Andy Brooke at Barnsley police station on Wednesday.
Mr Brooke said: "It was a particularly nasty burglary - as soon burglars are disturbed they normally run off but they made him sit there as they went through his house.
"He was terrified and said he kept thinking about stories where burglars had beaten up elderly people.
"I was delighted to present the watch to Mr Dutton. It's not the same watch given to him by his wife, but it's something that means a lot to him."
Christopher said the actions of the police officers involved had restored his faith in humanity. Enquiries into the burglary are ongoing.
Anyone who recognises the watch should contact South Yorkshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

We're always looking for an eyeshadow that grabs attention without making it too obvious that we're wearing makeup. We think we found it in Benefit Rich Beach Eyeshadow ($18). Subtle and natural, it gives off a slight shimmer and works perfectly to add highlights and brighten eyes. And even if we're not a rich "beach" we'll look like a million bucks.

Black Moon / Boot Camp Click / Duck Down founder, Buckshot, seems to be in a strange transitional phase between cellar dwelling beats of his past, and a composite of outrageous thugisms of today. Sadly, he has yet to find a thug style that he can call his own, except for the original Brooklyn stick up kid he introduced us to on Black Moon's Enta Da Stage. Styles of thugs past and present are emulated on this album, leaving little originality in the end. "My Bitches & My Niggaz (Rock With Me)" features Buck playing the role of (another) 2Pac, with his stretched out vocal inflections. ("My niggas thug for meee/ bust another slug for meee/ One time for the luuv for meee"). "Take It To The Streets" features Buck and a pack of junior thugs over a wanna-be Swizz Beat, and even worse is "Feel It" which pretty much samples a bit of "Jigga My Nigga", and makes it less appealing. "Heavy Weighters" is another collabo with less appealing emcees (save F.T.), with Buck going completely over the edge with ridiculously dramatic "Victory"/"Hate Me Now" style production. Then there is the jiggy joint, "Take Your Time", a disgustingly groovy track rivaling the foolishness of Diamond D's "Can't Keep My Grants To Myself". "Final Words" is also questionable, as Buck breaks it down as to why he underwent this transformation. He rants about the flack he receives for deeming himself a thug, and then refreshes our memories by mentioning some equally thugged out material from the early 90′s, such as "Murder MC's" and "Killin' Every Nigga In Sight".
But here is where the biggest problem lies. Buckshot knows that he is compromising his sound for today's standards, and that's why he had to make this track. Naturally, he would try and give us the "been there, done that" routine, trying to convince us that ain't a damn thing changed. But longtime fans will see right through this. If he really felt that he is making the same thug music he was in 1993, would he even have to address this subject?
Psychological arguments aside, the album has a few redeemable tracks. "Trapped", a previously unreleased gem which dates back to almost five years old, is still timeless, showing a hungry Buckshot in his element of dark basement, Brooklyn beats. Same goes for "Follow With Pride" and "Ladies N Gentlemen", and while his core fans will appreciate these kinds of beats, the sad thing is that today's generation may not, which is causing this vicious cycle of the Boot Camp Click's recent style switch ups.
Cut and dry, core fans will hate this album, and Buckshot knows this. The real question is, will Funkmaster Flex, The Source, Stretch Armstrong, and all of the other influential voices out of NYC, like this album? If so, success may follow his lead, but if not, this may be the straw that breaks the BCC's back.

The big day has come and gone, and now millions of people can say they've heard Justin Bieber utter the word "swaggie." After the weekend's unrelenting Twitter countdown, The Bieb appeared on On Air with Ryan Seacrest Monday morning to officially premiere his new single "Boyfriend," and begin stoking the anticipation for his 3892 other projects in the works.
But first, some reflection on his long-term career goals. "I'm the only one who can ultimately make those decisions because I'm going to have to live with my career for the rest of my life," Bieber explained, when asked about the constant slew of input from others during his recording process. "I thought ["Boyfriend"] was the perfect single so that's why it was my single." Fielding questions from Ryan and company, as well as fans outside the studio, Bieber acknowledged that upcoming album Believe is aiming for a June release date, with a subsequent tour by late summer—only after he has proper rehearsal time. He is a professional! Because his first single as an 18-year-old officially opens the door to his adulthood and thus sheds the concern of child labor laws, the singer also revealed there's a new Someday fragrance, as well as that Wahlberg movie and many, many trips to Chipotle in his future.
Creating an album that draws from Michael Jackson and other classic pop/R&B cannot be rushed, and Bieber explained that most of his time has been spent in the booth, working on his magnum opus, and in darkened movie theaters, where he catches up on his sleep. For those who worry about what the remaining tracks on the album could sound like, rest easy in knowing that Ambassador of Good Taste Ashton Kutcher has heard the album, and was "shocked" by its level of greatness. Watch the interview below.

Kenya Moore is thanking God right now as she credits him for what's happening with enemies Apollo Nida and Phaedra Parks. On Tuesday, May 6, Kenya reacted to the news that Apollo, Phaedra's husband, has plead guilty to conspiracy to commit mail, wire and bank fraud.
While Kenya didn't give specific names, it's pretty obvious that she's talking about her "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" co-stars Apollo and Phaedra. "God is so good. He exposes your enemies for you. All you have to do is trust and believe only in him. Stay strong and let him work. #justice," she tweeted.
Earlier in the day, news broke that Apollo admitted his involvement in a $2.3 million fraud scheme. According to federal prosecutors, Apollo and his co-conspirators stole people's identities and opened bank accounts in their names, stole checks, filed fraudulent tax returns, took out fake auto loans, and other crimes. He now faces a fine of up to $1 million and up to 30 years in prison, which would be his second prison term.
Despite the dire consequences that he's facing, Apollo is maintaining that all is well. After leaving the courthouse, he told Radar Online that he's "alive" and "cool." He has since been busy responding to both his critics and supporters through his Twitter account, even once challenging people to keep talking "s**t" about him and his situation.
As usual, Apollo lets it all out while Phaedra is keeping her thoughts on the matter to herself, saying nothing about it on her social media accounts. However, she did say during her recent "Watch What Happens Live" appearance that she's standing by her man, maintaining that she will support him until everything is resolved. Phaedra Parks, being the daughter of a minister, probably has quite an opinion about Kenya Moore thanking God for "exposing" her and Apollo Nida. Unfortunately for the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" fans who want some dirt, she'll likely keep her thoughts to herself.

In the midst of adversity, God can seem distant, cold, and strangely silent--an Everest of indifference. When we come to him with our questions and our doubts, sometimes it seems we are climbing the North Face of Mount Everest, scaling unstable rock. As we scale the frozen slopes of suffering and hardship, we need others to climb alongside us and help us along the way. In this honest and penetrating look at the problems of suffering and pain, Gire offers perspective, hope, and encouragement for the climb.
