Jazz big bands don't just need lots of charts, plenty of swing and a reliable bus to take them from gig to gig. They also rely on a guiding metaphor. In the old days, the ruling metaphor was a military one: the different sections of the band engaged in battle, and the arrangements were built on a constant thrust and parry between trumpets, trombones, reeds and rhythm. This approach no doubt derived from the counterpoint of New Orleans jazz, and reflected the larger bands' attempts to capture the excitement of a style of music in which different melodic temperaments constantly countered one another. The next defining metaphor came with the Miles Davis Birth of the Cool nonet, which thought of itself as a choir. This band put aside combating sections in favor of a brisk, holistic approach based on the blending of disparate voices. "Make love, not war," it proclaimed, and the contrast with the previous big band tradition could not have been more stark.
And Darcy James Argue? His role model is neither an army or a choir. Rather, he seems to want to make his Secret Society to inhabit the sound terrain and mental space of a rock band. For long stretches at a time here, this large ensemble sounds like a small, intense unit, driven by a rhythm section that is so far away from the Count Basie-Walter Page-Jo Jones tradition, one struggles to establish any genealogy that gets you from there to here. When the sound gets bigger, it does so in such a natural, organic way that you hardly notice the other 12 musicians sneaking into the recording studio. Like a rock band, the Secret Society delights in big, assertive ideas. Things stretch out and take their own sweet time—again reminding me of some garage-bred musical concoction. "Phobos" lasts more than eleven minutes, and there are three other tracks on the CD that are roughly the same duration. Yet this rugged let-it-rip aesthetic is beefed up by a rich harmonic palette that you won't find at any rock concert.
One can certainly identify influences from other jazz artists, especially Maria Schneider. Many of the textures come out of the Miles-Gil-Maria playbook. But what Argue does with them is something else. This is fresh and non-derivative work, and justifies the intense buzz surrounding this bandleader's debut release.

Jamaican Heat
|This page needs to be cleaned up to meet the standards of Grand Theft Wiki.
|Jamaican Heat
Niko Bellic talking to Roman Bellic inside his taxi depot.

|Unlocked by
|Easy Fare
Jamaican Heat is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to protagonist Niko Bellic by his cousin Roman Bellic from his cab depot on Cisco Street in Schottler, Broker, Liberty City. It is unlocked by the mission Easy Fare.
Roman is busy taking calls as Niko walks in. Roman wants Niko to pick up Little Jacob on Oneida Avenue in South Slopes.
This mission introduces firearms (handguns to be exact) to the player, and briefs on the cover system. When the player gets the SMG on the left behind Little Jacob, Submachine guns are also (unofficially) introduced.
Niko picks up Little Jacob and Little Jacob wants Niko to drive over to Dillon Street in Schottler. Little Jacob has heard from Roman that Niko has experience with weapons, so Jacob asks him to watch over a meeting he has planned, and gives him a handgun to do so.
Three gang members turn up, but Little Jacob expected only one. They open fire on Little Jacob, prompting Niko to open fire too. After they are killed, another gang member appears on the roof. Niko shoots him off the roof. Little Jacob is impressed at Niko's shooting skills and gives him his number so they can work together later on, and now wants Niko to drive him to the Homebrew Cafe.
(In Roman's Taxi)
Little Jacob: Alright breda, forward a Dillon Street, in Schottler. Ya Niko? The one me man Roman's been talking about all this time? Cousin Niko, gonna help Roman take over de world and ting?
Niko Bellic: I guess so.
Little Jacob: Respect. Alright, alright. We going to this spot where I need ya to wait for I, seen? I gotta ask ya another favor, too.
Nico Bellic: Go for it.
Little Jacob: Can you take dis piece? Ya hear any ting bad going down, you come and help, sight?
Niko Bellic: Are you worried about this? I know how to use a gun if you want me to keep watch on things.
Little Jacob: Realness brother, you are me man Roman's cousin. Thanks, respect. This ras clot has a rukus with me breden Real Badman de other day. I want to make peace, but Jah know what type of shit they might pull off.
(Arriving at the location)
Little Jacob: Alright. Thre be a spot up there. Watch out for any badness.
Niko Bellic: Sure.
(Three gang members arrive)
Little Jacob: What dis? I thought there was only going to be one of yous coming?
Gang Member: Jacob, Jacob, Jacob... we have to teach Badman his lesson and ting.
(They start shooting)
Little Jacob: Shit, Niko. Get these bloodclots.
Gang Member: Rhaatid, someone be inna de ground.

text: Johannesburg - According to the British football media, Tottenham Hotspur are planning to send Bongani Khumalo out on loan again.The South African international defender is yet to play a game for Spurs, and after kicking his heels on the sidelines he was sent on loan to Championship side Preston North End last season.Unfortunately Khumlao was injured during his loan spell, and could help PNE stave off relegation.He returned to White Hart Lane hoping to find a place in Spurs boss Harry Redknapp's plans for the season, but it seems the former SuperSport United players is still not deemed ready for the EPL.Both Khumlao and his fellow Spurs defender Jake Livermore will now be sent to Scottish champions Glasgow Rangers for a season-long loan."I met with the Rangers chairman. They are looking for some loans and I mentioned a couple if they were interested," Redknapp is quoted as saying in the Daily Mail."We have Jake Livermore and Bongani, he was at the World Cup. He needs to get some experience but will do well I'm sure."Rangers have a South African connection. Their former skipper Richard Gough, who played there for over 10 years, grew up in Johannesburg and started his professional career at Wits University.

The usual story of the 'first era of globalization' at the end of the nineteenth century sees Denmark as something of an outlier: a country which, like the UK, resisted the globalization backlash in the wake of the inflow of cheap grain from the New World, but where agriculture, rather than going into decline, in fact flourished. Key to the success of Danish agriculture was an early diversification towards dairy production. This article challenges this simple story which sees Denmark as something of a liberal paragon. Denmark's success owed much to a prudent use of trade policy which favoured dairy production. Moreover, this favouritism continued even after a more general movement to free trade in the 1860s. Using micro-level data from individual dairies, we quantify the implied subsidy to dairy production from the tariffs, and demonstrate that in many cases this ensured the profitability of individual dairies.

The company says the new series is expressly designed to remove the burden of ECC from the host processor while minimizing protocol changes. This will make it easier for device makers to use it in a number of consumer applications, including digital audio players, tablet PCs, digital TVs, set-top boxes and more. According to Toshiba, samples will be available starting in mid April and mass production is slated for the second quarter of 2011.
"Toshiba's new SmartNAND will provide our customers a smoother design experience into 24nm generation and beyond. By enabling the system designer to directly manage the NAND using a standard or custom host NAND controller, while leaving the function of error correction within the NAND package, SmartNAND results in faster time to market, access to leading geometries and potentially lowers design costs when compared to conventional NAND flash implementations with external ECC," said Scott Nelson, vice president of Toshiba America's Memory Business Unit.
Toshiba is not the first to embed error correction in their flash memory chips, though. Late last year Micron announced the upcoming release of their own ClearNAND memory modules, which would come with a built-in 24-bit error correction engine and a conventional raw NAND interface.

College Hockey:North Dakota puts its last NCAA meeting with Minnesota in the past
PHILADELPHIA — The last time North Dakota met archrival Minnesota in a NCAA tournament game, things could've gone quite a lot better for UND than they did.
UND never led in that 2012 West Regional final in St. Paul, Minn., an eventual 5-2 win for the Golden Gophers. It was just as brutal for the game's de facto visiting team, too, as even after Minnesota opened up a 4-1 lead 14:28 into the second period, the Gophers never let off the gas.
These two teams met last season, too, with similar results as Minnesota picked up a win and a tie on home ice against UND last January in Minneapolis. Even then, though, attention was drawn to that 2012 NCAA tournament game when players met the gathered press Wednesday ahead of UND's national semifinal Thursday night against the Gophers.
When asked about that loss at Xcel Energy Center, two of the UND upperclassmen that were on the ice that night said they've moved on but haven't forgotten what happened.
"That was a tough game, and obviously it ended our season so it wasn't an easy one to swallow," UND junior forward Stephane Pattyn said. "But hockey's a kind of game where you have to forget things earlier, and I think for us we had a summer to think about it, but I think last year already we had to go into the [new] season and forget about it and try to move on.
"Obviously, we faced them last year, as well, so it's an extra little chip on your shoulder about the team that ended your season, but it's so far in the past now that we're just focused on the team we have now. We have a completely different team than the team we had two years ago, and we're just ready for tomorrow night."
UND senior defenseman and team captain Dillon Simpson echoed Pattyn's sentiments on the matter.
"I think, more than anything, that game kind of stung us throughout that summer and pushed us into the next season," Simpson said. "But as far as this year goes, like Pattyn said, we've got a lot of new players on this team and a lot of new personnel.
"You look back at that game and, yeah, you use it as motivation as a part of the past, but I don't think it has a whole lot of bearing on the players we have in that locker room right now. Like any game, it was a big game, and like in any rivalry, the guys will be ready to go tomorrow."

Largemouth bass are looking for love right now in our man-made pond. The pond was built about 10 years ago or more. My father in law and his friends built it between two pieces of land that he owned. We live in a subdivision, and now have our house on the other side of his pond. My wife is his daughter, and the pond has been there a while and has a lot of fish in it.
Every morning, my father in law will be outside feeding the smaller fish pellets. You'll watch the bream and some smaller bass hitting the top of the water and chasing the pellets. All of this can be seen from the back window of our house. I can see almost every part of the pond, except the far side, which is shallower than the side that we live on.
Lately the weather has been getting warmer at night and pretty warm during the day. You can already see the largemouth bass making their beds and getting ready for "love". I tell my wife that it is called "the dance". You can see the female and male bass swimming around in circles and the tails coming up out of the water. When she first witnessed this, she thought that they were fighting.

[8:04] <shekispeaks> why does not rabbit mq maintain its older version in the apt repo.

[8:30] <bob235> see http://www.rabbitmq.com/releases/rabbitmq-server/
[15:12] <cavneb> hey all.. what would be considered best practice for adding jobs to the queue using amqp? Should I start and stop an event machine every time I add an item? It seems a bit confusing
[15:12] <antares_> cavneb: no
[15:12] <antares_> cavneb: eventmachine is started once, connection is open once
[15:12] <antares_> often 1 channel is enough
[15:13] <antares_> cavneb: please read http://bit.ly/amqp-model-explained and then the rest of http://bit.ly/amqp-gem-docs
[15:13] <cavneb> i've gone over those several times.. I think maybe I am not smart enough to fully comprehend it.. I'll do it again though
[15:13] <antares_> imagine that HTTP uses persistent connections all the time
[15:13] <cavneb> I guess I don't understand how to access the AMQP from outside the amqp reactor
[15:14] <antares_> would you tear it down and open it again every time? probably not
[15:14] <antares_> how to access what?
[15:14] <cavneb> it seems that the only way to add to the queue is by doing it within the AMQP reactor...
[15:15] <antares_> EventMachine reactor in most apps is started in a separate thread and then you just do what you need
[15:15] <antares_> ok
[15:15] <antares_> first of all, there is no such thing as "AMQP reactor"
[15:15] <cavneb> lol.. see? i'm slow :D
[15:15] <antares_> it is EventMachine reactor, also known as "event loop"
[15:15] <antares_> yes, network activity only happens when EventMachine even loop is running
[15:16] <nDuff> well, "event loop" is the more generic term
[15:16] <antares_> two ways to start EM event loop are EventMachine.run and AMQP.start
[15:16] <antares_> AMQP.start is a shorthand for EventMachine.run { AMQP.connect(…) }
[15:16] <cavneb> which is why I referred to it as the reactor
[15:17] <cavneb> (I understand that the reactor is EM)
[15:17] <antares_> https://github.com/michaelklishin/rubyonrails23_unicorn_amqp_gem_example/blob/master/config/unicorn/development.rb#L20
[15:18] <antares_> not the best example but it demonstrates that you start EM event loop (in a thread, because Unicorn needs to use main Ruby thread to work), then use AMQP entities as demonstrated in doc guides
[15:19] <cavneb> so you call EM.next_tick inject into the EM to publish
[15:19] <antares_> if you use AMQP.start, it will set up two things for you: AMQP.connection (just 1 connection, you can open 10 more if necessary) and AMQP.channel (just 1 channel, you can have tens of thousands)
[15:19] <cavneb> I think that was my misunderstanding
[15:19] <antares_> cavneb: EventMachine.next_tick is a way to run some piece of code when EM is actually running
[15:19] <cavneb> right
[15:19] <antares_> EM needs time to start (it may be milliseconds but still)
[15:20] <antares_> this example simply publishes code when Unicorn boots
[15:20] <cavneb> ok.. here's my setup..
[15:20] <cavneb> I have a AMPQ loop running and listening
[15:20] <antares_> your classes in lib can use AMQP.channel and that's it
[15:20] <cavneb> ah
[15:21] <antares_> or well, any code can
[15:21] <antares_> AMQP.start will open one channel for you
[15:21] <antares_> you can open it yourself: AMQP.channel = AMQP::Channel.new(AMQP.connection)
[15:21] <antares_> that's it
[15:21] <antares_> it is just an accessor
[15:21] <cavneb> I think I was overcomplicating it
[15:21] <antares_> for apps that only need 1 connection and possibly 1 channel
[15:22] <antares_> we do need a better example but before 0.8.0 release and another round of documentation improvements that is unlikely to happen
[15:22] <cavneb> I am taking lots of notes and posting them on a github repo (https://github.com/cavneb/learning)
[15:22] <cavneb> I have a non-committed section on AMQP
[15:22] <cavneb> that I am trying to get examples working
[15:22] <cavneb> once I have that, i'll post it to you
[15:23] <cavneb> ie. AMQP for Dummies (like me)
[15:23] <antares_> cavneb: travis-ci.org worker is another example (although we are far from fully migrating to AMQP because we have some specific needs that require RabbitMQ extensions), take a look: https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-worker/blob/master/lib/travis/worker/application.rb#L17
[15:23] <antares_> cavneb: that example is a consumer app (it mostly handles messages), while most Web apps are just producers (only publish messages)
[15:24] <antares_> cavneb: it would be better if you post a gist and let me take a look :)
[15:24] <antares_> although I appreciate any kind of feedback
[15:24] <cavneb> sounds good.. i'll do that
[15:24] <cavneb> I appreciate how patient you are :D
[15:25] <antares_> cavneb: finally, if you still cannot understand how to integrate event loop into your app, there is a good sync (blocking) client
[15:26] <cavneb> antares_ I am determined to wrap my head around this. I think I am just making assumptions that are incorrect
[15:26] <antares_> that is well maintained and also widely used. it has no documentation guides and lacks a lot of features (also, supports no RabbitMQ extensions) but it may be sufficient
[15:26] <antares_> it is dead easy to use
[15:26] <cavneb> bunny?
[15:26] <antares_> correct
[15:26] <antares_> and even though I maintain amqp, I try to help bunny maintainers every way I can. I even did a couple of point releases :)
[15:27] <cavneb> i already have done that.. that was easy to do. I prefer EM over rake scripts though due to the benefits EM provides.. not sure if I'm right, but it seems correct
[15:28] <antares_> cavneb: EM is a great library but a lot of applications do not really need it :) but once you get event loop and evented architectures, you can use evented libraries in any language
[15:29] <antares_> if you only publish 1-50 messages per second and do not need more sophisticated AMQP features, you can get very far without EventMachine
[15:29] <antares_> amqp gem is great for consumer apps, they are inherently event-driven
[15:29] <antares_> publishers are often not
[15:31] <cavneb> antares_ interesting. l think with your advice I will stick to the easier path and use bunny
[15:31] <antares_> cavneb: cool. amqp gem docs are always there to explain you the concepts
[15:31] <antares_> bunny supports all commonly used operations
[15:31] <antares_> or almost all
[15:32] <cavneb> do you know of any good examples of rake tasks that perform the consumption of queues via bunny?
[15:33] <cavneb> here is my rake currently:
[15:33] <cavneb> https://gist.github.com/1154172
[15:34] <cavneb> https://gist.github.com/1154177
[15:37] <antares_> wait
[15:37] <antares_> so you need a consumer?
[15:37] <antares_> then amqp gem will probably be easier :)
[15:38] <antares_> we actually have plenty of code examples: https://github.com/ruby-amqp/amqp/tree/master/examples
[15:38] <antares_> cavneb: can you explain how you want the rake task to work?
[15:40] <antares_> cavneb: your code looks good but drop_queue probably doesn't really delete anything
[15:40] <antares_> you need to use Queue#delete to actually delete it on the server
[15:40] <cavneb> drop_queue is for testing uses only
[15:40] <antares_> ah, I see
[15:40] <cavneb> for automated testing :D
[15:40] <antares_> well, if you have most of the work done already, just use it
[15:40] <cavneb> i want to basically call x number of runners to listen
[15:40] <antares_> no need to switch
[15:40] <cavneb> ya
[15:41] <cavneb> i have a bad habit of wanting to more than I need sometimes :D
[15:41] <cavneb> lol
[15:41] <antares_> amqp gem is fully tested using an RSpec extension called evented-spec :)
[15:41] <cavneb> ya.. i was looking at that
[15:41] <antares_> so testing of evented code is perfectly possible and easy
[15:41] <cavneb> we have a dedicated rabbitmq server for testing
[15:41] <cavneb> and our tests append the users name on the queue name
[15:42] <cavneb> I think that will be sufficient for our needs on this
[15:43] <cavneb_> disconnected
[15:43] <cavneb_> weird
[15:43] <cavneb_> anyway, thanks antares_ for all your help!
[15:48] <cavneb> not sure if you got my thanks antares_ but thanks :D my connection keeps going up and down
[15:51] <antares_> cavneb: I did. No problem, ask if you have more questions.
[15:51] <cavneb> thx :D
[22:53] <kyleburton> hello

The hand-operated Ring Master Model 70162 for over-the-road/ earthmover (OTR/EM) applications alleviates the sometimes long struggle in getting the front rim flange and bead of the tire back far enough to install the O-ring seal. It also eliminates the danger of pushing the equipment off the lifting jacks if a tire crane is being used to push the flange and bead back. Attached to the multipiece rim/wheel, the tool permits the technician to push and hold the front rim flange and bead of the tire back to install the O-ring. The adjustable tool works on all tires and wheels up to 30 in. in diameter. Weighs 22 lbs.

Todd Oldham for Sundance Institute Notebook, Sundance Institute and Todd Oldham
The Sundance Film Festival is gearing up for its 2013 season with a brand new merchandise thanks to artist/designer Todd Oldham. As Sundance Institute Executive Director Keri Putnam puts it, "Sundance Institute is known for supporting and collaborating with artists of great vision, and Todd Oldham is one such artist."
We think he's pretty cool, too. The limited edition materials are being produced solely for the 2013 festival. Also offered are several pieces from other artists and Sundance Institute alumni such as Mike Mills, Parker Posey, Susan Sarandon, Amy Sedaris and Jon Waters. These artists will be contributing to the special collection with items such as totes, buttons, patches and T-shirts.
In addition, a unique art book titled Sundance Film Festival A to Z will be displaying the works of 26 renowned illustrators from Wesley Allsbrook to Jessica Grindstaff to Armando Veve as they create their own interpretations of the festival films each using a different letter of the alphabet.
John Waters Shirt, Sundance Institute and Todd Oldham
This is a special collaboration that will add to the creative aura of the festival. "I find independent film to be endlessly inspiring, and the Sundance Film Festival has provided a platform for many of the most creative and prolific films and filmmakers of the past three decades," Oldham says. It is my pleasure that the bag collection, made from recycled banners from prior Sundance Film Festivals, helps to raise funds for Sundance Institute, an amazing organization that protects and supports the future of original storytelling."

So you've probably heard of this little thing called "global warming" or "climate change". Now, we're not scientists, extremists or hippies. However, we do believe in doing our part to pollute less and help the environment. Here's what we're doing to go Green and what you can do to help.
Our Packaging
A lot of tea companies choose to use packaging that contain precious metals, excess plastic and some even use an additional packaging box that serves no purpose other than to make their product look fancy. Now, we're all for marketing and good design but we think tea packaging should be functional, good looking and not produce unnecessary waste. For this reason, we use specially designed rice paper pouches with re-sealable zipper tops at Live Love Tea. The rice paper exterior eliminates extra plastic and aluminum that would normally be used in this type of package. The zipper top allows the bag to be functional so you can seal your teas without having to buy another container. Also, the bags were specifically designed for tea so they have a built-in odor shield. This is significant and necessary for tea as tea easily picks up odors and other flavors.
So what about the rest of the products we have? Well, we use 100% biodegradable cellophane to package our cookies and tea cakes. Our Organic Light Agave Nectar is packaged in quality reusable glass jars. The Pure Amber Rock Sugar comes in the same zipper pouches as the tea and our gift baskets are made from bamboo, a great all-natural and renewable resource.
Shipping Practices
We use USPS (United States Postal Service) as our primary shipping partner. Using USPS allows us to offer the lowest shipping rates to our customers but it also helps reduce carbon emissions. How? Well, USPS already drives through almost every neighborhood in the United States almost every day. Other commercial shipping companies typically only have set routes for commercial locations like malls, shopping centers and business parks so adding addresses to their route would result in excess fuel usage and excess pollution. However, we don't want to send the wrong message. Commercial shipping companies definitely have their place and we use them for commercial shipping and when our customers request them.
Our Values
Going green has been a focus of ours and will continue to be. Reducing waste and increasing our use of renewable energy makes sense for our customers, our industry and frankly, it's just good business. Are we perfect? No, but we're making changes and heading in the right direction. Join us by supporting Live Love Tea and doing the responsible thing.

Pride and Prejudice
by Jane Austen
Mr. Collins Timeline and Summary
- Mr. Collins arrives at the Bennets' house for a week-long visit. His purpose, as he makes abundantly clear, is to find a suitable wife, and he expects one of the Bennet girls will do.
- Mrs. Bennet lets him know that Jane is already spoken for (not strictly true), so he sets his sights on Elizabeth.
- Mr. Collins proposes to Elizabeth. Mrs. Bennet has told Elizabeth she should say yes, but she can't bring herself to marry a man so odious and dislikeable. It's not that he has any vices or truly sinful traits—he's just really annoying.
- Three days later, Mr. Collins proposes to Elizabeth's friend Charlotte.
- Mr. Collins and Charlotte marry and move into his parsonage on the estate of Lady Catherine de Bourgh.
- When Elizabeth visits, he is full of advice about how she should behave around Lady Catherine.
- When Lydia runs away with Wickham and then gets married, he sends a letter explaining his shock that Christian folk like the Bennets would receive their fallen daughter and fallen husband into their household after such a disgrace.
- Mr. Collins also writes to Mr. Bennet to explain that Elizabeth should think twice before encouraging Mr. Darcy, since it will make Lady Catherine quite angry. We mustn't upset Lady Catherine one bit!

Spring has sprung and Easter is around the corner. Get inspired by these five shades that are sure to match your Easter Sunday finest.
1) Julep's Marie, sheer lavender nail glaze, with its sheer frost pearl is so feminine and flirty. Julep nail polish prides itself on being chip resistant, fast drying and highly pigmented.
2) Fiver Nail Lacquer from Butter London is an opaque, mint-green creme that's slang for a five pound note, and also the path to riches. Butter London lacquers are created for the catwalk and formulated to nourish and protect nails with a Vitamin formula that encourages nail strength
3) Scarce, Illamasqua speckled pink nail varnish is just like everbody's favorite mini Cadbury chocolate eggs.
4)Essie, Resort Fling is an irresistible peach coral which is all the rage this spring.
5) Preggers in Pink by Knocked Up Nails is ideal for baby mamas, cancer patients, children and allergy sufferers safe since its formula is "5-Free" and does not contain toluene, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) or camphor. The bright and bold pink is reminiscent of the little sugar covered marshmallow chicks, Peeps® Pink Chicks.

Week 2 - Lost 4.2 lbs
Sunday, October 28, 2012
So I am down a total of 10 lbs since starting the competition with my friends. I am glad to be rid of those 10 lbs but still got another 17.6 lbs to lose to get back to where I was in July....231 lbs. I know I will make it. I just hate that I am re-losing all this weight that I never should have gained in the first place. I just want to kick myself. I gave myself 7 weeks to lose all the regained weight and to make that goal, I have to lose 3.52 lbs a week. After the water is gone, I just don't think that will be do-able. But I am certainly going to try. That would give me another 17 weeks to lose some more weight for the first time. Set a new all time low for myself. I just might be able to make it into ONEDERLAND by the end of the competition. I am trying not to get my hopes up, but the fact that it is even possible excites me. If I can make it there, even if I lose, I still win. Regardless, even if I just set a new all time low, technically I would still be winning even if I lose the competition. I would be happy ether way. But I want to win and I want to do what I have forever thought was impossible...see a 1 in front of my weight.
I went out to a bar last night for Halloween. I got talked into drinking and then we went to Norm's afterwards. I was hungry, but I only ate half of my burger and some of my fries. I am not a big fan of Norm's (I'm a Denny's girl) so I don't care much for their food, but I was glad to see that even after drinking, I was still able to stop eating when I got full so I didn't really overeat.
Here is my Halloween Costume
I still haven't excercised. I need to get on the ball though. My friend Shayna pulled in the lead this week and my friend Sabrina is right on my tail. I know the weight loss will stop very soon if I don't get on the ball. I didn't get much sleep last night so I don't know if I will up for the gym tonight but I am thinking about going tonight. We'll see .
Here are the stats for week 2:
Becky: SW: 236.6 CW: 236 % lost: 0.25%
Me: SW: 258.20 CW: 248.2 % lost: 3.87%
Sabrina: SW: 336.4 CW: 324.7 % lost: 3.48%
Shayna: SW 260.50 CW: 248 % lost: 4.80%

WHALEYVILLE, Md. – Investigators from the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit are investigating the murder of a woman found in an embankment off of a dirt road in Worcester County.
Authorities identified the victim as Nicole Bennett, 35, of the 33,000 block of Windswept Drive in Millsboro.
Ms. Bennett was found last Friday deceased, lying in an embankment off of a dirt road in Worcester County, in an area where there are no homes in the immediate vicinity.
Her body was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy. Cause of death has not yet been determined.
Just before 9 a.m. Friday, Worcester Central received a 9-1-1 call reporting the body of an unidentified woman found deceased on Swamp Road, a dirt road east of Nelson Road.
The caller told police he was in the area walking when he noticed the woman's body lying in an embankment which slopes downward from the roadway.
During the course of the initial investigation, police learned Ms. Bennett was the subject of a missing person's case being investigated by the Delaware State Police.
Ms. Bennett's husband had called 9-1-1 at about 8 a.m. Friday morning reporting his wife missing after not coming home from work the night before.
According to the missing person report and family members, Ms. Bennett had a rose tattoo on the inside of her right ankle. The woman found in the embankment had the same rose tattoo as verified by Delaware State Police and Ms. Bennett's family.
A family member told police they had last heard from Bennett on the night of June 14.
At this time, a monetary reward is being offered to anyone with information leading to the arrest of the individual(s) responsible for Bennett's murder. Calls are being taken by the Worcester County Lower Eastern Shore Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776. Calls will remain confidential.
Deputies from the Worcester County Sheriff's Office, investigators from the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation, Delaware State Police and the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit responded to the scene. Crime scene technicians from the Maryland State Police Forensic Sciences Division responded to gather evidence.
The Worcester County State's Attorney's Office, the Wicomico County Bureau of Investigation, and the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation have also been assisting with the investigation.
As of this update, Maryland law enforcement is taking the lead on this case. Delaware State Police are assisting in the investigation. Police are interviewing suspects while the investigation continues.

The Florida woman behind the "hot" mugshot image that remains viral across the Internet is now filing a lawsuit against a website for overusing her picture, failing to properly pay her, and invading her privacy. Known to many as the "attractive convict" and the source of hundreds of funny memes, Meagan Simmons is the very real woman behind the eye-grabbing ad of a beautiful female's fake mugshot. However, UPI News has made it known this Friday, Feb. 28, 2014, that Simmons has finally had enough, and wants to start seeing some compensation for the hit photo that has "captured" the hearts of many.
If you're a frequent web surfer, then it's very likely you have come across the "hot" mugshot photo. Like the meme featured above, Meagan Simmons is much more commonly known as the "attractive convict." Her image has been the brunt of many puns, including that she was "arrested for breaking and entering my heart" or "guilty of taking my breath away."
While it looks like this lovely lady enjoyed all the notoriety at first — the mugshot photo was first used as advertising on websites back in mid 2010 and quickly went viral — she is now filing a lawsuit over it. With her interviews with major news sources like the Huffington Post and the Daily Mail behind her, it appears that the 28-year-old wants some overdue payment for the overused image.
Just this week, Meagan Simmons filed a formal invasion of privacy lawsuit against the background check website, InstantCheckmate.com. She alleges that the site is using her picture for a variety of commercial purposes without her proper consent and failing to pay her for the "hot" mugshot image reproduction.
"At the end of the day, this is actually about intellectual property," her attorney, Matthew Crist, told the Tampa Bay Times. "If someone is going to use your image, they need to pay you for it."
One of the photos linked to the lawsuit filed by the Florida woman in this "attractive convict" case includes the mugshot with the caption:
"Sometimes the cute ones aren't that innocent," used alongside the Checkmate website's personal logo.
"The legal issue is it's your face, and your name. You own it," Crist said. "You can use it, you control it and when someone misappropriates it -- that's when you're violating Florida law."
The lawsuit filed by 28-year-old Simmons requests an undisclosed amount of monetary damages as well as a legal injunction to stop publishing the overused image.

Ban Ki-moon is the eighth Secretary-General of the United Nations. His priorities have been to mobilize world leaders around a set of new global challenges, from climate change and economic upheaval to pandemics and increasing pressures involving food, energy and water. He has sought to be a bridge-builder, to give voice to the world's poorest and most vulnerable people, and to strengthen the Organization itself.
"I grew up in war", the Secretary-General has said, "and saw the United Nations help my country to recover and rebuild. That experience was a big part of what led me to pursue a career in public service. As Secretary-General, I am determined to see this Organization deliver tangible, meaningful results that advance peace, development and human rights."
Mr. Ban took office on 1 January 2007. On 21 June 2011, he was unanimously re-elected by the General Assembly and will continue to serve until 31 December 2016.
Gordon Brown is the United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education and Member of Parliament for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath.
He is Chair of the Policy and Initiatives Board of the World Economic Forum and also serves as the inaugural Distinguished Global Leader in Residence at New York University as well as the Chancellor of Adam Smith College in Kirkcaldy. He is on the Board of Sir Tim Berners-Lee's World Wide Web Foundation and is Patron of the Burma Campaign. He has recently completed a research project on globalisation and education at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.
He served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2007 to 2010 and is widely credited with preventing a second Great Depression through his stewardship of the 2009 London G20 summit. He was one of the first leaders during the global crisis to initiate calls for global financial action, while introducing a range of rescue measures in the UK. In April 2009, he hosted the G20 Summit in London where world leaders committed to make an additional $1.1 trillion available to help the world economy through the crisis and restore credit, growth and jobs. They also pledged to strengthen financial supervision and regulation.
Dr. Howard K. Koh serves as the 14th Assistant Secretary for Health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), after being nominated by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 2009.

This is a beautiful gown that is also comfortable and easy to wear. It is made of luxurious layers of soft silk chiffon with lace pieces. The look is romantic and ethereal. I chose to wear a sparkly belt, but you dont need it to have a complete look. I loved this dress immensly and felt just gorgeous in it – and free to move about without feeling restricted. Absolutely stunning and simple.
Accessories – will sell both for $100: I bought a gorgeous belt on Etsy for this dress that rivals many of the $350+ belts I found in the bridal shops. My Etsy find was $150 and then I paid another $30 to get a new ribbon sewn on in order to match the color of the dress. I also have a simple veil, which is medium length and has an unfinished edge. The veil is secured by a comb and is a perfect color match – I paid $75.
- Label Size: 10
- Street Size: 10
- Bust:
- Waist:
- Hips:
- Height with Shoes:
- Alterations: Only about an inch was taken off of the length of the dress in order to match the height of my heels. The dress has a corset inside that has three settings, so the pressure is off if you gain or lose a few pounds. This feature also helps because you do not need a bra AND I did not spend the night pulling up the dress, which is what typically happens with a strapless. We did not need to make adjustments to the dress other than the height.

Dear Faculty, Staff and Students,
Please join me on Monday, November 18, at 4 pm at the Staller Center for the Arts Main Stage, when Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Carl Bernstein delivers the Stony Brook University Presidential Lecture "Why Isn't Our Government Working -- And Can It?"
Now a member of our faculty as Visiting Presidential Professor, Bernstein is a true American icon. Our students, faculty and staff are very fortunate to have the opportunity to experience this presentation by, and pose questions to, this legendary reporter, commentator and historian.
Few journalists in America's history have had the impact on their era and their craft that Carl Bernstein has had. For 40 years -- from All the President's Men to A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton -- Bernstein's books, reporting and commentary have revealed the inner workings of government and politics, and the hidden stories of Washington and its leaders. In the early 1970s, Bernstein and Bob Woodward broke the Watergate story for The Washington Post, leading to the resignation of President Richard Nixon and setting the standard for modern investigative reporting, for which they and The Post were awarded the Pulitzer Prize.
Bernstein's career has had a continued focus on the use and abuse of power -- political, media, financial and cultural. He has written and lectured extensively about government and politics, and the role and responsibilities of the American press. Please join me at the Staller Center on Monday, November 18, at 4 pm to hear one of our nation's foremost investigative journalists share his views on government today.

Suppose $A,B$ and $C$ are Banach spaces such that $A \subset B \subset C$. There are a few different wasy that I am aware of to think about the set $A$ being dense in $B$. One is to say that $A$ is dense in $B$ if and only if $\bar{A} = B$ where $\bar{A}$ denotes the set $A$ together will all of its accumulation points which, alternately, can be considered as the intersection of all closed sets containing $A$. An equivalent way to say that $A$ is dense in $B$ is to say that for every point of $B$ one can find a sequence in $A$ that converges to $B$. I particularly like this characterization because it avoids having to distinguish between 'closed in B' versus 'closed in C'.
Now lets suppose that the spaces involved are Banach function spaces with the supremum norm. My question regards how the distinction between pointwise convergence and uniform convergence comes into play when considering whether $A$ is dense in $B$. For example, suppose one has a sequence of functions $(f_n)$ in $A$ that converges uniformly to a function $f$ in $B$. Considerations of whether $A$ is dense in $B$ in this case don't depend upon the point at which the function is evaluated so the same definitinition of density as applied to general Banach spaces as indicated above can be applied in this instance. What can be said though if the convergence of $(f_n)$ to $f$ is not uniform?
My thoughts are that the property of $A$ being dense in $B$ would vary from point to point and thus would not be well-defined. Is this the right way to think about this?

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana consider themselves designers as well as customer service professionals, who listen to what their clients want. These days, that doesn't include wearing what appeals just to magazine stylists, something Dolce and Gabbana kept in mind last season while addressing the customer's feminine wiles. And last Sunday, their practical focus fell on a woman's masculine side with a stunning collection rooted in "sartorialità," or tailoring, Italian-style. As the saying goes, if it isn't broke, don't fix it. And by that standard, Frida Giannini just might have taken Gucci down that tricked-out, laced-up but bankable road again. But not this time. Giannini did an about-face, and in her most successful show since joining the company, delivered a clean, polished collection that pulsed with insouciant glamour. "The New Chic" was how Giorgio Armani defined his fall collection, according to program notes. And since Armani prides himself on maintaining a constant minimum of high chic, grounded in his long-established house codes of strong, sophisticated tailoring and elegant evening attire — dually represented here — the question was, what did he consider new? No, not the fringy, in-your-face hats but color: saturated Crayola tones, such as orange, cherry red, pink and the deep emerald green that opened the show.

At Nina Ricci, Peter Copping struck an air of romantic gentility similar to spring's debut. But as his opening look — a sturdy black coat, all wide lapels and fake fur sleeves — hinted, this was going to be a much more grounded affair. And, indeed, he aimed at tempering the flou, shuffling between sturdy and frothy elements to provide contrast. During a preview the day before his show, Dries Van Noten said he was in the mood for a little fun this season, which was interesting since neither the overarching military theme nor the mood of the collection he showed Wednesday was particularly light. Rather, what Van Noten, who's not prone to perverse head games, considered a good time was departing from his terrific cross-cultural inspirations and instead, applying that mash-up treatment to various periods of fashion — Fifties, Sixties, Seventies — with beautiful, graceful results. At Balmain, the Eighties were back (even though they never really left the premises). Those wondering if Christophe Decarnin would push his sexy sensibility to new terrain got their answer in the raucous opening score: 1984's "Let's Go Crazy" by Prince. And Nicolas Ghesquière's Balenciaga collection he delivered Thursday was another nimble negotiation between his own futuristic pursuits and reverence to the name on the door.

Tommy Hilfiger Corp., which has been owned for nearly four years by private equity firm Apax Partners, could be in play. According to sources, Apax has been talking to companies to gauge their interest in acquiring Hilfiger, while at the same time continuing to explore an initial public offering for the American brand, which was postponed two years ago when global stock markets began to slide. At the moment, the lead candidate to acquire Hilfiger is said to be $2.4 billion Phillips-Van Heusen Corp., which has been openly on the prowl for acquisitions and proved with its 2002 purchase of Calvin Klein that it can successfully incorporate a large global brand into its business.
Oscars by the Numbers: The Most Appealing Best Actress Nominees
With the 82nd annual Academy Awards set for Sunday, E-Poll Market Research ranked the best actor and best actress nominees based on overall appeal. Sandra Bullock and Morgan Freeman topped the poll of more than 1,100 people. Gerry Philpott, chief executive officer of the firm, told WWD, "Consumer sentiment toward the Oscars seems to be very positive right now. Entertainment, and movies in particular, fared well during the recession because it wasn't considered an expensive pastime." While classic, glamorous styles will most likely rule the red carpet, he said, "We're interested in seeing some names of people who may really start pushing the boundaries in terms of fashion. Some of the young Hollywood up-and-comers, such as Leighton Meester, Katie Cassidy, Zoe Saldana and AnnaLynne McCord are starting to rise in our tracking polls for their style and appeal."
Bergé on Yves Saint Laurent: Warts and All
Yves Saint Laurent is giving the Eiffel Tower a run for its money as France's most famous monument. In addition to a blockbuster exhibition devoted to the work of the late couturier, 2010 will see the release of a slew of Yves Saint Laurent books, a CD, a movie and even a coloring book. Pierre Bergé, his former partner and longtime business manager, said he can't take full credit for the avalanche of projects in the pipeline, though he trusts the retrospective to be staged at the Petit Palais will confirm Saint Laurent's status as one of the greatest designers of the 20th century.
Fall 2010 Runway Trend: That's Rich
Opulence ruled the runways in New York and London as fur, intricate embroideries and feathers galore made their way onto everything from sporty fare to elaborate evening dresses. Regarding accessories in Milan, forget about the three Rs; come fall, it's all about the five Fs. Fur, feathers, fringe, feline — as in leopard, meerkat and ocelot prints — and fulva, as in red. Now that's Italiano. Also this week, Christian Lacroix SNC signed a string of deals. The brand, reduced to a licensing operation in December following a bankruptcy filing, is back on the move. Although couture and ready-to-wear operations were shuttered, the Lacroix name will soon enter four new product categories: women's optical frames, premium stationery, home textiles and decorative wood panels.
The Heritage of Milan: No Gimmick Lines Seen Luring Consumers
Designers here delivered solid collections, easing up on sex and flash to focus on heritage values and investment pieces as customers ease back into spending mode, buyers said. Despite a condensed Milan show schedule that penalized brands holding showroom presentations, retailers found plenty to like, from pantsuits and outerwear galore to flat shoes and furry boots. Buyers lauded a return to Made-in-Italy values like high-quality fabrics and craftsmanship, with a particular focus on tailoring and knitwear. Also in retail, Lanvin has opened its first West Coast boutique in Las Vegas, the brand's second door in the U.S., and the first in America to offer the label's men's wear collection. The 3,000-square-foot boutique, which opened last week, is on the ground floor of the luxury haven Crystals at CityCenter, and follows the December opening of Lanvin's first U.S. store in Bal Harbour, Fla. With Cindy Crawford, the Olsen Twins, Nicole Miller, Charlotte Ronson, Michele Bohbot and Marty Staff among the crowd, J.C. Penney Co. Inc. staged a runway show of spring fashion exclusives inside Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall in Manhattan on Tuesday night. Fitted tailoring, animal prints, ruffle chiffon tops and city shorts were among the hipper, youthful looks trotted out, along with the creative individuals behind them. It's all crucial to elevating productivity and differentiating Penney's from Macy's Inc., Kohl's Corp. and other retailers scrambling to reach deals with designers and celebrities for proprietary lines.
Renewed Demand Removes Chill From Feb. Sales
Wicked winter weather couldn't keep consumers from spending in February, propelling retailers to their best month of same-store sales results in more than two years and elevating hopes the upswing is here to stay. Stores reporting numbers Thursday were aided by extremely weak year-ago comparisons, but still managed to beat analysts' projections despite lingering high unemployment, weak consumer confidence and continued deterioration in sales of new cars and homes. Even with these Swords of Damocles hanging over retailers' heads, the surprisingly strong showing by stores in the first month of the first quarter fueled optimism the buying public is starting to get over its reluctance to shop. Despite tentative signs of a turnaround at the beginning of the year, European retailers are bracing for a see-saw recovery at best, and at worst a double-dip recession. Fears that Greece could default on its public debt have roiled financial markets in recent weeks, raising the specter that European economies, which borrowed heavily to sustain spending during the recession, could now raise taxes on their wealthiest citizens to help foot the bill. After three years in the designer business, European private equity firm Permira is looking at cashing in on its investment in Proenza Schouler, and possibly Valentino, too. Although the company denied it planned to sell its interest in the labels, sources indicated that Permira has started to put out feelers, and several investment funds are said to have looked at the two fashion properties. And according to a new book, the twin perils of growing global competition and decreasing pricing power have been limiting gains in the fashion business as similar products proliferate and "overlap" in a range of prices. This competitive environment makes the fashion business one of the "most fascinating" to explore, said Richard D'Aveni, author of "Beating the Commodity Trap" (Harvard Business Press, $27.95). The intensifying struggle to distinguish fashion items from competitors' products held particular significance for the author.
Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper Appear at MAC Launch Event
MAC Cosmetics believes in pouting to make a point. That's why the Estée Lauder Cos. Inc.-owned brand and its celebrity spokeswomen, Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper, held a launch event in London Monday for its latest Viva Glam lipsticks. They are sold to help the MAC AIDS Fund. "Seventy-two percent of sexually active women in the United Kingdom have never been tested for HIV," the ever-flamboyantly attired Lady Gaga told discussion moderator Sharon Osbourne, who put questions to the pop stars. The queries were culled from thousands sent by their fans via Twitter and Facebook. (The event was also streamed online.) Throughout the discussion, the duo placed particular emphasis on communicating to women about HIV- and AIDS-related issues, including testing for the illnesses, practicing safe sex and, in some cases, abstinence. Also, John Galliano and his fragrance license holder, Selective Beauty, will introduce an eau de toilette version of his signature women's scent, Coach has plans to expand its fragrance distribution, and it's being said that French actress Mélanie Thierry is to be the face of the next Yves Saint Laurent women's scent.
Macy's Inc. has snagged another exclusive. In an effort to bolster the assortment within the men's sportswear department, the retailer will reveal today it has signed a deal with Kenneth Cole Productions Inc. to launch a collection of sportswear under the Kenneth Cole Reaction label this fall. The line will launch in 150 Macy's stores and online in September and is eventually expected to roll out to 550 doors. Under the terms of the deal, Macy's will be the exclusive department store retailer of the sportswear in the U.S. and its territories. However, Reaction classifications merchandise will continue to be sold at other department and specialty stores. After 100 years in the men's wear business, Ermenegildo Zegna is taking on a scholarly role. The Italian suit maker is teaming with Milanese fashion school Istituto Marangoni to introduce a master's degree in men's wear. The eight-month program, which kicks off in October, will cover all the fundamentals of making men's garments — research, creation, product management, retail, logistics and marketing. Marangoni professors as well as key managers and designers from the Ermenegildo Zegna group are to teach the classes. After stabilizing and expanding its women's business and appointing a headline-grabbing president and chief creative officer in Sarah Jessica Parker, Halston is finally turning its attention to men. This fall, the investor group that purchased Halston in 2007 will launch two men's lines as part of its continuing bid to revitalize the iconic brand. The effort will be led by a luxury-level main collection of suits and sportswear designed with accessible fashion in mind. The company will also offer a secondary line, called Heritage, which will be more fashion- and sportswear-driven and be offered at lower prices.
A New Wave of Films Has Fashion Fixated
When Donatella Versace was preparing her men's collection for fall, she logged onto YouTube to check out trailers for the forthcoming science fiction film, "Tron Legacy." Current and forthcoming feature films are influencing fashion to a blockbuster degree, with "Avatar" references sweeping through the spring couture collections in January and the release of Tim Burton's Disney film "Alice in Wonderland" this week coinciding with a slew of product tie-ups and retail showcases, from windows at Bloomingdale's in New York and Printemps in Paris to an "Alice"-inspired young women's range hitting Uniqlo stores starting this month. "Movies are always an inspiration: It's a reflection of the times," mused Versace, whose spring women's collection, unveiled in October in Milan, was partly inspired by Burton's anticipated new film. Sunday's Academy Awards will roll out more than the red carpet. Hollywood's biggest night is turning to technology, social media and new formats for the 82nd annual Oscars to entice a bigger audience and generate more attention. A year after turmoil in the worldwide economy resulted in slightly lower key partying and fewer gift suites, the frenzy is building as top fashion and jewelry brands jockey to dress A-list actresses and capture the buzz and publicity that can help boost sales.

Eating Out star, Chris Salvatore, has added more designs to his brand new underwear line; so naturally we wanted to take a brief (get it?!) moment of your day to show you!
"I didn't really like the underwear I saw that tried to incorporate a c**kring feature," Chris explains in a press release.
"I get that they those are supposed to 'enhance' your assets, but they're just not comfortable! The Nautical Briefs Double Support Pouch does exactly what it says. It gives your Captain and the First Mates a comfy 'lil pouch to chill in."
The aspiring underwear designer is also a graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston; best known for his song "Dirty Love;" though he has also posted a few covers to his YouTube channel. So, while you're perusing the selections of underwear, you'll have Chris to serenade you.
Check out more photos from Chris's line and watch his video HERE!
