TOTANA, Spain- Chasson Randle's 16-point effort represented the highest-scoring game by a Stanford player to date during its 11-day foreign tour, however CB Murcia benefited from a rugged style of play that resulted in a 79-57 victory for the hosts.
The contest more closely resembled a postseason game, with a hostile home crowd clearly energizing CB Murcia, an up-and-coming program that was recently elevated to ACB League status. Wednesday's matchup was highly-anticipated by the local community, and the start of tipoff was slightly delayed following extended team introductions and the playing of both national anthems.
Randle finished with 6-9 from two-point range, dished out three assists and knocked down Stanford's only three-pointer of the night. Josh Owens also finished in double-figures, adding 14 points on 4-9 shooting while making 6-7 attempts from the charity stripe.
Dwight Powell chipped in with six points and led Stanford with eight rebounds. Anthony Brown and Josh Huestis both grabbed four boards.
The physical nature of the contest provided an edge to CB Murcia, which finished 18-23 from the foul line compared to Stanford's 14-18 mark. CB Murcia was also extremely accurate from long distance, making 11 three-pointers.
Stanford scored six of the game's first eight points, moving in front 6-2 at the 5:26 mark after Owens fed Powell for a dunk. However, CB Murcia answered with a 9-0 run and ended up closing out the period with a 19-10 lead.
Midway through the second period, CB Murcia banged home a three-pointer to beat the shot clock, taking its largest lead of the game at 27-14. A short jumper from Aaron Bright and sleek baseline layup from Huestis temporarily sliced the deficit back to single-digits at 27-18.
Randle would score Stanford's final six points of the half, but CB Murcia had already built a 38-24 lead at intermission.
CB Murcia took control of the contest in the third stanza, outscoring Stanford 24-19 to take a 62-43 advantage into the final frame. CB Murcia knocked down three triples and made six of seven free throw attempts during the 10-minute stretch.
The Cardinal came out strong during the first four minutes of the final period, creeping to within 64-50 after Randle converted a three-point play and Owens knocked down a pair of free throws.
A successful three-point heave at the game's final horn pushed CB Murcia's lead over the 20-point mark, making it 79-57.
Anne and Tony Joseph Director of Men's Basketball Johnny Dawkins used the lineup of Bright, Jarrett Mann, Powell, Owens and Jack Trotter to open the first two periods. The third period starting five was Randle, Brown, Powell, Owens and Trotter. The fourth period starting combination was Bright, Randle, Brown, Owens and Stefan Nastic.

Stanford head coach Johnny Dawkins
"I thought it was a chance for our guys to play in a physical game. I thought they fought and competed well through the physicality. We grew through this experience and type of game. We will face opponents like that, so it's important to embrace it and play that way. I thought we started to respond in the second half to the level of aggression that was out there."
"I thought Chasson did a really good job for us. He handled the ball with poise and also finished in traffic and through contact. He's growing up. You're going to have ups and downs being a young player. Watching the last three games, I can see him getting better and better, and also conditioned to playing this style of basketball."
"We have to learn how to make key plays when we need to. We're still learning a lot about who we are and what we have. These games give us an opportunity to find ourselves and a chance to do it against first-class competition. We're playing against men, and they are forcing us to play at our best every possession."
CB Murcia head coach Luis Guil
"Your team is made up of younger players. And for that, I was really surprised, because you guys created a lot of tactical situations for me. It was surprising because even though your team is younger, there was a good job of switching screens and showing the pick and roll. There was a game plan. Our team was visibly in pain, because this was very physical for both teams. I think we were the stronger team obviously and perhaps more accustomed to such physical play."
"I liked your point guard, the number five (Chasson Randle). He looked able to play one on one, can read situations and appeared to be a good, physical player. He can defend you, and also read situations from his position like the pick and roll. I very much liked this player."

Wednesday served as a travel day, as the team checked out of the Madrid hotel and spent the next six hours driving to the University of Murcia.
Upon arrival, the entire travel party was greeted by University President Jose Luis Mendoza and ushered to the school church along with students and representatives from the university, where everyone listened to motivational addresses from Mendoza and Dawkins.
Afterward, the entire group enjoyed a pregame meal and exchanged gifts: Cardinal basketball polos and t-shirts in exchange for goodie bags with polos, hats, postcards and other souvenirs from the University of Murcia. Loud cheers could be heard midway through the lunch, as University of Murcia staff members watched Spain defeat Germany in the second round of group play at the European Basketball Championship.
Recently promoted to the ACB League, CB Murcia is the first European professional team made up of students attending the university. The University of Murcia is associated with Stanford University, in that the Communication departments of both schools work in conjunction on several projects. Additionally, there is an opportunity for Stanford students to study abroad at the school.
Currently, the University of Murcia is developing an iPhone application for Stanford, which will provide information on the Center for Declarative Democracy.

Hey, Asshole!
(Thom Andersen, 2014, 5 min)
"While re-mastering Los Angles Plays Itself, I re-edited a number of clips, including The Takeover (Troy Cook, 1995), a grungy, sordid straight-to-video film remarkable only because executive producer Michael Woods and star David Amos had in 1990 planned and carried out the murder of Horace McKenna, Woods's partner in the operation of a chain of strip clubs around Los Angeles—a crime echoed in the movie. After repeated viewings, I noticed a miniature tragedy (or black comedy) spread out over the first sixty minutes. Its protagonist is Waldo the bouncer, the victim of ruses and sucker punches, whose multiple failures lead him to one final heroic attempt to make amends. This is his story." –Thom Andersen.

About me: My name is Ana Paula. I was always connected to art since I was little. I draw since always too. My grandfather was a very talented graphic designer and everybody says I inherited his talent. It is in his honor that even use the name "vonBorowsky" because my name does not have the "von". He passed already.. After drawing I started to paint on canvas then begin to sculpt. I also work with other artisancrafts such as making beaded animals.
I started sculpting with natural Clay, but almost all the sculptures I did got broken after some years..It was too fragile. Then I stopped sculpting for a while, some years, actually, before start to make dolls. I haven't sure of how and why I start to make dolls. There is a website called Patchtogether where you submit your designs/ concepts and there are chosen by the public through voting to became a resin toy. These toys can have or not some articulation, but only in two legs/ arms maximum. I submitted some designs to this website but they weren't good enough to become toys. Then I thought "If they can make a toy out of my design, why can't I make?". Then I started to try to make posable dolls. About the Ball jointed dolls I haven't sure of how it came to my knowledge, I do not really remember. Maybe through Deviantart or something like this. But I decided to make animals/ creatures. I always prefer to make animals instead of humans, even on my drawings. I had a lot of dogs and even horses, which I used as models to many of my works.
Back to Ball jointed dolls. I never used a tutorial to make them. I look at many pictures to figure out how it works and made a lot of attempts to make the joints work properly. I never saw a "real" Ball jointed doll, the ones produced in large scale with resin. My first attempt was a black panther made of epoxy clay in 2010, that wasn't very good. It had many joints that didn't work. I didn't liked too much of the epoxy clay because it takes a lot of work to mix the two parts. It also sticks on everything. It is also necessary to paint the doll after finished, and I am not good at painting (yet). That is why I decided to try the cold porcelain, once the Clay already is of the color you need. Turns out it works, but a lot of time is needed to make the dolls smooth with this clay. Besides Ball jointed dolls I also make poseable dolls, which are created with a technique I've created. I sold my first dolls in 2011.
Besides my connection with arts, I decided to become engineer. The profession of artist is very undervalued in Brazil. Engineering has more works possibilities and I like the profession. To make dolls is my hobby.
The cold porcelain isn't the best clay to work with. It dries to quickly, there is problem with cracking and the clay shrinks upon drying. By drying to quickly, you can make all the details you want to. That is why my dolls aren't too much detailed and I usually don't sculpt fur, etc. All the techniques I use to make my dolls were created by me. I never hear/ read anybody talking of any of them.
After already know how to make Ball jointed dolls, I look at some tutorials and discovered that I do not follow any of the steps of it. Actually I think the way to make Ball jointed dolls highly depends of the clay you are using. Not all the techniques Will work for any kind of clay.For example, I don't know how to make dolls using polymer clay. I Will have to change all my techniques to be able to.
I don't think to make Ball jointed dolls is easy, mainly IF you want to make animals/ creatures. It is difficult to make the anatomy right, make the joints on the correct place, make the joints not to assume bizarre positions, and make them work properly. Furthermore, there is the assembly problem. Must be not so difficult to assembly the doll because it will have to be done someday. The elastic inside the doll gets loose with time. To make a Ball jointed doll is much difficult in reality than in theory.
As I said, all the techniques I use were created by me after many attempts, time and work put into it. I think my engineer side help me with a lot of them. The amount of techniques is so big that I could write a book of "how to make Ball jointed dolls out of cold porcelain". That is why I do not talk of them to anybody except for some close friends. However, if I could figure out how to make ball jointed dolls, I am sure a lot of people can do it too, but it will not be easy, unless they wer born with the talent to do so.
The main feature of my work is the effort and time I put into each piece. I try to make the deffect level as low as it is possible to me, as I am not a machine to do a perfect work. My dolls are very smooth, without fingerprints, cracking and dust sticked to it. I also spent a lot of time trying to make the joints work the Best way it can, remaking pieces if necessary.
My purpose is to bring the preffered characters of each person to life, the best way I can. I thinks is very cool to have a doll of your a character you like or even of your own original design.
How I promote my business:
My works are published though the website called Deviantart and recently, also in the website called Furafinitty. Deviantart has groups divided into specific themes, so I submit my works to the groups that matches my dolls. It is very helpful. Also, all I wrote on both websites is in English, so everyone (almost) can understand.
My Deviantart account: www.vonborowsky.deviantart.com
My Furafinitty account: www.furaffinity.net/user/
To buy my dolls:
There is two ways to buy a doll from me. One is buy from my online Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/vonborowsky
The other is order a custom doll from me. You can contact me by the email: email@example.com
I am not always open to commissions, but times in times I open some spots, so maybe for someone is easy to buy from the online store.

Trudeau and her co-owners decided to plow more money into the team, at considerable personal risk. That season the Storm racked up 20 wins and 14 losses. The following year, the women won 28 games and lost six—and ended with the big win in Atlanta. Financially, the team was also on a roll. From 2008 to 2010, its gross revenue rose 63 percent. "I hope the team will be profitable by 2013, but 2015 is more likely," Trudeau says.
Today, Trudeau attends all 17 home games and the playoffs during the May-to-September season and at least a quarter of the away games, driven as much by her love of the sport as by her desire to win. "I feel the same sense of competition the players feel, the sense of participating in something bigger than you," she says. "Sports is an entertainment business, and winning is what entertains people." When Trudeau, her management team and the coach decided the Storm needed an infusion of young talent, they traded two of their veteran players for a couple of less expensive draft picks, hoping their talent and flash would electrify the audience. "People like high-wheeling athleticism, so the more athletic our players are—and the more athletic the game is perceived to be—the more likely we are to get support," she says.
Her efforts have paid off. During the 2010 season, "there was a buzz in the city about the Storm," says Trudeau. She recalls sitting in a restaurant in a small town 25 miles outside Seattle, where she overheard two men in their sixties—not typical WNBA fans—discussing the team. "These guys were excited about the Storm," she says. "Their interest showed that the community was expanding." With seven sold-out games in the 2011 season and a coach who has the most wins of any professional women's-basketball coach, Trudeau seems entitled to be confident.
But while her career as a sports- team owner was taking off, Trudeau and her husband, who is retired and 14 years her senior, realized they were moving in different directions. They recently made a mutual decision to split, she says. Trudeau still puts in 10 to 15 hours a week working with nonprofits, mainly Social Venture Partners Seattle, and she's also on the boards of several organizations. But at least for now, the Seattle Storm remains the focus of her days. Owning the team "has enriched my life in ways I would never have predicted," she says. "It's expanded my world. I was feeling like a vagabond, and this has given me a strong sense of community. It's enormously fulfilling to have a place where you belong."

|Buchanan announces VB schedule
MOSCOW - The Idaho volleyball team will start off the 2012 season with a home tournament, and face a formidable non-conference schedule to get ready for a new-look Western Athletic Conference, as head coach Debbie Buchanan released the team's 2012 schedule Tuesday.
The Vandals will open the season at home with the Idaho Nike Invitational on Aug. 24 and 25 in Memorial Gym. Idaho's season-opener is the 24th against Pacific, and the Vandals face regional rivals Montana and Washington State on Aug. 25 to wrap up the tournament.
"It's great to be able to open up at home," said Buchanan, the reigning WAC Coach of the Year. "We're going to be home quite a bit more than last year, which will be huge. Especially opening up at home, we can try to get the kids off to a good start before we start traveling."
The Vandals will then hit the road with four matches in California from Aug. 30-Sept. 3, as they face Cal Poly, UC Santa Barbara, Northeastern and Cal State Northridge. Idaho's next task will be to take on defending national champion UCLA, 2011 Sweet Sixteen participant Hawai'i, and San Diego State in the Hawai'i Volleyball Tournament Sept. 7-9.
"We're trying to set this up with a good balance of teams with high RPI, and good competition for us," Buchanan said. "We could go out and play an easy schedule and get a bunch of wins, but that's not going to help us. We want to prepare our kids from the very beginning that this is the type of competition that we need to play at. These are the teams that we can beat, or it's going to be a battle. There really aren't any easy matches out there. We've got to show up and compete every match."
Idaho opens WAC play at home against Denver on Sept. 13, one of the five teams to join the league for the 2012 season. Idaho's 18-match WAC schedule features home-and-home series with the nine other WAC schools, including New Mexico State, San Jose State, Utah State, Texas State, UT San Antonio, Seattle, UT Arlington, Louisiana Tech and Denver.
With Hawai'i, which won or shared the WAC regular-season title every season since 1996, and claimed 10 of 11 WAC tournament titles since 1998 (there was no WAC tournament in 1999 or 2000), now out of the league, Buchanan said the Vandals, along with every other WAC team, are looking for an open competition for the WAC crown.
"We've added some good opponents with five new teams coming in," Buchanan said of Denver, Seattle, Texas State, UT San Antonio and UT Arlington. "There are some good volleyball schools. It's on everybody's mind that Hawai'i is out now and that leaves it open for all of us to try to get the championship. It's not that we weren't trying to do that before, but Hawai'i was always ranked in the top 10 in the country every year. We've always had good competition at the top, and now it's just opened things up, and everyone is thinking the way we are, they want to win championships."
After a two-year stint in Las Vegas, the WAC tournament will move to San Antonio, Texas Nov. 18-21. The top eight teams in the final regular season standings will advance to the tournament.

By Jason Sampognaro, Hard Assets Alliance Analyst
Precious-metals investors have had quite a scare in recent weeks. Since late November, gold has lost nearly $100 an ounce – a decline of almost 6%! During the same time frame, silver has slipped by nearly 12%.
Having a strong stomach is part of investing in a volatile market. If, like many, you are feeling financial heartburn over gold's recent downward movement, I'd like to give you a reason to actually get excited when your favorite yellow metal takes a dive – a bit of journalistic Pepto Bismol, so to speak.
First, we'll discuss the main driver behind gold's most recent dip, and why this is just irrational herd behavior rather than financial and economic sense. Then we'll review the reasons we own gold and why the recent price reduction is actually good for you as a gold investor.
An End to QE3?
Out from behind the black curtain came the news from the FOMC meeting:
"…a few members expressed the view that ongoing asset purchases would likely be warranted until about the end of 2013, while a few others emphasized the need for considerable policy accommodation but did not state a specific time frame or total for purchases. Several others thought that it would probably be appropriate to slow or to stop purchases well before the end of 2013, citing concerns about financial stability or the size of the balance sheet. One member viewed any additional purchases as unwarranted." [Minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee, December 11-12, 2012]
This is the wonderfully wishy-washy, opaque language we've all come to know and love from the Fed and the FOMC. It leaves all options open while maintaining a level of uncertainty in the markets.
The media dumped fuel on the fire when it began asking if this statement foreshadowed an end to quantitative easing. With the potential for an end to the Fed's money-printing – however unlikely – it's no wonder that those without a solid understanding for gold investing got scared out of the market.
While the mainstream press was busy trying to define what the FOMC meant by "few" and "several," they forgot about Ben Bernanke's stated plan to tie the continuation of monetary stimulus to the rate of unemployment. Without an unemployment rate below 6.5% or a CPI above 2.5%, the printing will continue.
On January 4, 2013, CNBC's Steve Liesman interviewed the president of the St. Louis Fed, James Bullard. When asked what time frame the Fed should end the current round of quantitative easing, Bullard firmly reiterated the Fed's position:
"Why are we talking about dates? The idea is to have state contingent policy. This depends on the economy… It should be if the economy performs well in 2013, the committee will be in a position to think about going on pause with its balance sheet policy. If it doesn't do well, then the balance sheet policy will probably continue into 2014."
To take the point even further, let's recall the tight spot the Fed is in with respect to the national debt and interest rate policy. Consider these three facts:
With every dollar of increase in federal deficit spending, the pressure on the Fed to maintain its zero-interest-rate policy and to continue to purchase Treasury debt increases. Also, even if QE3 does end, interest rates will surely rise, and the Fed will be forced to start up the printing press once again.
The takeaway here is that it's important not to get caught up in the short-term price fluctuations, but to invest according to a long-term premise. And that premise is the same as it has always been: governments around the world will continue to print away their debts in order to maintain a constant stream of entitlements flowing into their constituents. Without the printing of fiat currency to buy voter support, a politician's career becomes significantly shorter. If you still believe this premise, the long-term case for gold is open-and-shut.
The Fundamentals Haven't Gone Anywhere
After reviewing the facts, it's clear the Fed has no intention of ending its policy of continued monetary easing. The fears over a catastrophic drop in the gold market are unwarranted. Gold is still the best way to hedge against inflation.
As was stated above, it's important to look at the long-term trend for gold. The chart below illustrates this point beautifully. Gold has taken an aggressive, ten-year march with a short one-year break in 2012. Thus, if you held to the premise that gold is a long-term instrument for the preservation of wealth, you would have come out ahead had you purchased anywhere in the last decade.
So what does this most recent downturn mean for you, if anything? As you may have heard Chairman of Sprott US Holdings Rick Rule mention, the gold market is like any other market – including the supermarket. When your favorite food drops in price, you don't sell your stockpile back to the grocery store. You buy more of it! The same is true for gold. Why not exchange some of that fiat paper for something you truly hold valuable? Better yet, why not make the exchange while that fiat currency is trading at a premium to gold?
If you haven't already, please take some time to browse the Hard Assets Alliance site and consider opening a SmartMetals account. SmartMetals is a perfect way to acquire gold bars and coins with the added benefits of offshore storage. With storage facilities in New York and Salt Lake City as well as London, Zurich, Melbourne, and our new facility in Singapore, you will be able to diversify your assets internationally and avoid the political risks of any one nation. You can download the free SmartMetals Action Kit for more details.
The bottom line is this: Monetary easing will continue around the world. Governments cannot afford the political ramifications of austerity. As the short-term traders and uneducated investors dump their gold positions, use the opportunity to buy more. It has been our experience that these dips in price often result in a subsequent price surge. Gold is on sale, and sales don't last forever…
Next, we'll discuss how the paper/ETF markets affect the price gold in both inter-day and intra-day trading.

CES 2012 - Thermaltake is in several markets and generally when that happens it's difficult to make new innovations that lead an industry. Thermaltake's multi-headed dragon isn't like most others and they seem to be able to innovate quite well.
Thermaltake was showing some really nice power supplies today in their suite.
A good example of that innovation is shown here with the world's first 1275w platinum rated PSU.
The Toughpower XT Platinum is also available in snow white.
1275w might seem a bit excessive to some so there is also a 700w Toughpower Grand Platinum.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz received guests of the National Guard in Riyadh today, including intellectuals, members of the literary establishment and the media who are in the Kingdom to attend the 21st annual National Culture and Heritage Festival.
In his welcome remarks, King Abdullah spoke out against extremism and called on intellectuals to help usher in a period of dialogue and respect for identity and religion among nations.
King Abdullah began his remarks by saying that intellectuals and thinkers have a special responsibility in charting a future for the Muslim nation, pointing out its problems and proposing solutions.
Arab and Muslim unity is the cornerstone of progress and glory, the King remarked, and history has shown that unity has brought golden periods of prosperity while periods of dissension have been marked by weakness and humiliation.
King Abdullah also spoke out against extremism. He said that today, as the Muslim nation is subject to an attack on the religion of Islam, it is up to the intellectuals and thinkers to highlight the nation's true image of tolerance, justice and moderation. They should clarify to the world that the actions of a few fanatical extremists do not reflect the spirit of the Muslim nation, its heritage – only the destructive illusions of criminals.
The King condemned the idea of clashes between civilizations, and called for such clashes to be replaced by a constructive and peaceful coexistence between and civilizations. Arab intellectuals and thinkers would be the vanguard of a stage of real dialogue between nations, a stage in which each party respects the other, its religions and identities.

I've got some files on a machine that need to be archived, then copied over to another machine. On the other machine I need the files in a folder to be archived and removed, and then have the new archive extracted.
Basically overwrite a folder from a rar/zip and archive the old folder.
I have been able to create an exe from a batch file and include the 7zip utility, but the problem is that upon running the app the 7zip.exe gets extracted out of the batch executable, and is run as a separate program. The problem with this is that I can assign one exe to run securely, but not the extracted 7zip.exe.
Any ideas ?

San Diego Harbor Police say Comic-Con attendee's injuries came from fall
Girl, 17, found injured near hotel's pool area
SAN DIEGO - A 17-year-old Comic-Con attendee found injured near a hotel pool early Sunday morning suffered those injuries in an apparent fall, according to San Diego Harbor Police.
A Harbor Police investigation found that the girl's injuries "were not the result of a criminal assault, and were likely the result of a fall. Her injuries, and physical evidence at the scene, were consistent with a fall from the distance of approximately six feet."
Police said investigators reviewed surveillance camera footage, looked at various photos submitted and spoke to community members and Comic-Con attendees in coming to their conclusion.
In connection with the case, 29-year-old Justin Kalior was arrested and accused of sexual contact with a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Despite the investigation's findings, Harbor Police said "charges against" Kalior "will be forwarded to the District Attorney's Office."
Harbor Police told 10News that the girl and the suspect "knew each other. They were together for the day at Comic-Con."
10News learned the teen was a cosplayer -- one who dresses up in costume to portray a character -- and she came to the event dressed as a female version of Roger Rabbit with bright red wings and bunny ears.
Kalior, who is from the Los Angeles area, made bail. If charges are filed, he will make his first court appearance on Aug. 5.

It's the middle of December. And we are in the middle of a cold snap in California that has put parts of our country in a freezer.
But there's always a warm spot under the covers.
This Saturday, December 14th, that warm, cozy spot happens to be at Glendale High School's Performing Arts Center, where at 4 p.m. the Hula Halau Na Mamo O' Panaewa will perform their 2013 Ho'ike. Yes, in the middle of the Christmas Season, we will be witnesses to the spirit of Aloha, compliments of Kumu Hula, Keoki Wang.
If you want to learn more about the culture of Hawaii, through its dance, then take some time this Saturday afternoon and head over to Glendale. Keoki has grown his halau, dance studio from a handful of students to a dance troupe numbering well over 70 students in just a few years.
There will be retail vendors displaying unique items and products for sale which would make great Christmas gifts. Doors will be open to the public at 3:00 p.m. for holiday shoppers before the show.
The hula always tells a story. And a special story will be told about an epic battle of Hawaiian gods over the islands, as part of the fabric of Hawaiian mythical story telling. What a great way to relax before braving the cold, the crowds and the traffic.
Hula Halau Na Mamo O' Panaewa, 2013 Ho'ike, Glendale High School Performing Arts Center, 3:00 p.m., Saturday, December 14, 2013.

2006 State Farm Pac-10 Women's Basketball Tournament
No. 1 Stanford 77, No. 9 Arizona 50
Game 5 Quotes ?- Arizona
Saturday March 4, 2006
Arizona Head Coach Joan Bonvicini
General comments: "This was a tough game tonight. Our energy was not what it needed to be, but it was not more than a reflection of our season. We never quit. Stanford is a very good team. We had injuries, emotions and I had to change the way I coach to help this team. We are a basketball team. We were not use to losing and we want to come back strong. People understand what we have been through. Now it is time to heal and come back really strong."
On the season: "It is like we did an Ironman Triathlon. We did not win it, but we finished. More than anything we are a basketball team and we are not use to losing. We want to come back."
Natalie Jones, Senior, Guard
On the tournament: "I feel disappointed. This season and everything we went through was not the best experience, but I learned from it and I will remember it for the rest of my life."

Royal Academy Summer Exhibition
A long-standing favourite of the London art year, the Academy Summer Exhibition is the world's largest open-submission contemporary art exhibition. It runs from June to mid-August. Members of the fêted Royal Academy compete against unknown artists to have their work displayed.
Founded in 1768 as a rival to the Society of Artists, the Royal Academy on London's Piccadilly has hosted its annual summer exhibition - the world's biggest open contemporary art exhibition - since its inception. A rotating committee made up of practising artists chooses the works from more than 11,000 entries.
The submissions are paraded in front of committee members by a human chain of art-handlers; any work receiving the vote of more than three academicians passes through to the next round of selections.
More than 150,000 visitors a year come to the summer exhibition at the Royal Academy to admire around 1,200 works by established and unknown living artists, including paintings, sculpture, prints and architectural models.
The event is held in the Royal Academy's Main Galleries from June to August, with most works available to purchase.

What's hot right now?
The internet. I've just started working for Moda Operandi, an online store for private members that allows you to buy from collections straight off the runway. This week, you can literally buy items from Isabel Marant's autumn/winter '11 show. This type of insider access to fashion has never been done before—except if you're an editor or buyer. Everyone's saying it, everyone knows it: the internet is changing fashion and changing the world.
What were your favorite shows from the a/w '11 collections?
Louis Vuitton for theatrics, shock value and Kate Moss. Nina Ricci and Haider Ackermann for pure ladylike desirability that will please women. Givenchy for pantherama—that show was absurdly cool.
What are the most fashionable items in London right now?
Winona Ryder-esque grunge—no more tight dresses and no more fake tan. Shoreditch in East London just gets more and more cool with stores like Start Boutique, Les Trois Garcons and the bakery at the Boundary Hotel. iPads and Kindles are everywhere— in keeping with British reserve as no one can see what you're reading!

Reaching for the Sky
April 1, 2014 | By Gina Kramer | No Comments
People cruise for a myriad of reasons: Being able to explore new destinations, getting away at an affordable price and simply fleeing winter's wrath are just a few.
Cruise Critic member Bently57 wanted to experience the Sky suite on a Solstice-class Celebrity ship, and she did so on an eastern Caribbean cruise on Silhouette.
This was Bentley57's first time in a suite, although a number of balcony cabins on various Princess and Celebrity cruises led up to this day. The expectations were high.
Luckily, they were exceeded.
"We spent more time on this balcony than any other cruise we have taken, said Bentley57. "I could not find a single thing to improve on this room." A similar impression continued throughout the rest of the ship. Celebrity Silhouette's understated elegance seemed a far cry from the vibrant decor on other vessels they had traveled.
Looks aside, Bentley57 found the food and entertainment quite impressive. Since booking the Sky suite was their motivation, the itinerary came second. Yet they still managed to enjoy a first-time visit to St. Kitts.
Read Bently57's full review for more details about dining and entertainment. For their efforts, Bently57 and four other Reviewers of the Week — kior, SugSug, Magobets555, and cowgirl73 — receive Cruise Critic logo items.

by Dr. Phyllis C. Yaffe
Art Consultant ~ Art Historian
Susan Stromberg, an internationally honored sculptor, is widely known and appreciated for her acute perception and sensitivity. Her sculptures, in bronze, limestone, marble, wood and steel, like the artist herself, are introspective, philosophical, and intellectual, with an appreciation of the spirituality found in Nature.
A proud and celebrated Canadian, Stromberg is held in high esteem by the Art Community. Numerous magazine, newspaper, and television interviews have celebrated her accomplishments. Susan Stromberg's sculptures can be found in Universities, Houses of Worship, Corporate Offices and Federal Buildings. Her art has been purchased by the Government of Canada as official gifts for foreign Heads of State, from the President of the Canadian Senate. During the 'Vancouver Summit', a bronze sculpture "Sax Player" was presented to former U.S. President, Bill Clinton and her bronze "Violinist II", was given to former Russian President, Boris Yeltsin by the Prime Minister of Canada. The Canadian Government gave a Stromberg work of art as their tribute to Greece in honour of its 2,500th Anniversary. Continuing her proactive role in the art world, in 1999, Stromberg was appointed to the Board of Directors of Mountainlakes PBS – TV, after having been chosen as the " Featured Artist" of the MountainLakes PBS - TV Art Auction
A ten foot brass and steel Stromberg sculpture: "Osmosis", is installed in the garden of Rideau Hall, the Governor General's Official Residence in Ottawa, Canada.
In honour of her distinguished talent, Susan Stromberg was awarded the Commemorative Medal for the 125th Anniversary of Canadian Confederation. The Governor General's commendation made to Stromberg said: "In recognition of her multidimensional contribution to the artistic life of this country…"
In 2002, The 'ORCHESTRE METROPOLITAIN du GRAND MONTREAL', commissioned Stromberg to create a special limited edition, in bronze, of their logo. Stromberg had previously completed carving a one ton poplar tree into a bench at an outdoor symposium
in the Port of Montreal, which was purchased by a major corporation. (see website for image of ''LIFE WITHIN A TREE'').
FLORA CANADA, selected Stromberg's marble sculpture: 'HUNGRY/ANGRY HANDS', for the annual ''FETE du CANADA' celebration where it was viewed by approximately 300,000 visitors in four days. The exhibit of Quebec/Canadian artists, owned by the Government of Canada, is to travel throughout Canada and Europe. Stromberg was then selected to be Canada's featured artist at the Montreal 'REEL FILM FESTIVAL'.
The artist is represented by: Galerie D'Art Iris (Baie St.Paul, Quebec, Canada), Dimensions Plus in Montreal, Canada and The Robert Mede Gallery in Toronto, Canada. Stromberg was represented by Canada's premier Art venue: Dominion Gallery, Montreal, Canada for twenty
In 2003, the sculptor was commissioned to create on site in Positano, Italy; two 6'x 2' x 1' sculptures: ''INTRINSICA UNITIE'' 1/1, in Marble selected from the Michelangelo Quarry in Carrara, Italy.
A 6' x 4'x 3' bronze sculpture,''ADIRONDACK FAMILY'' 1/1: was created in 2003, and installed in a private Adirondack 'Great Camp'.
In 2005, Stromberg was commissioned to create a special edition of Bronzes for the Banque Nationale Du Canada.
2007: Stromberg invited to exhibit at the Biennale Internationale Dell'Arte Contemporanea,Florence,Italy.

On the 18th and 19th of June we were delighted to chair the Informa Mobile Wallet and Retail Innovation conference.
This is the second article considering insights from this year's event, and it concentrates on where we go with NFC, a technology that despite being almost seven years into its development, has so far failed to provide a single universal cross-device payment capability, according to Dave Birch, a Director of Consult Hyperion. At face value, this seems to be right, as there does not appear to be one single solution across mobile devices. There have been a number of notable success stories; for example TFL in the UK which now allows both ticketing and limited micropayments over Oyster, the incorporation of ticketing with debit card partners through PayWave, and the ticketing payments combination provided by Octopus cards in Hong Kong, but this is hardly the global conquering payments platform envisaged for NFC when combined with mobile devices. Moreover they remain card-based solutions.
It has been a decided lack of integration and standardisation that has led to this impasse with the involved parties, particularly telcos, pushing vested interests and never really cooperating fully argued Birch. The operator led debacle regarding Secure Elements which many have stated is far too complicated was given as an example; access to any NFC embedded secure chip has been jealously guarded by operators who wish to rent and sell space on the chips to service providers. Birch added that secure elements should never have been left to operators. Interestingly Samsung bypassed operators by providing the secure element within its Galaxy SII device. Samsung's strategy could allow it to build the applications and wallet on the embedded secure chip. This scenario has been lent credence by Samsung's hiring policy; it recently employed a former head of mobile payment for Visa Asia and its launch of a global mobile-commerce unit. Obviously such a scenario is only likely in those markets where operators do not control the device distribution network, but Birch's wishes for a device manufacturer led push toward NFC payments could yet happen.
The other choice is to do away with all secure elements resident on the app and rely upon applications downloaded to the device, or alternatively host all secure signing, authentications etc. in the cloud. These approaches benefit from simplicity but are prone to fragmentation in approach and the perception of security risks. Whether these security risks are justified is not the question: customer perception is as much of an obstacle as a real problem, as it is ultimately the customer who will decide the approach that wins out.

SEATTLE – The University of Washington women's tennis team suffered a 4-0 loss to 12th ranked Southern California Sunday afternoon out at the Bill Quillian Tennis Courts. The Dawgs, currently ranked No. 42, move to 10-8 on the season and 0-6 in Pac-12 play. UW next faces Washington State on Friday, April 4 in Pullman.
"Our girls have fought hard against some really talented teams the last couple of weeks," said head coach Jill Hultquist. "We knew once Pac-12 play started that it was going to be a really tough battle especially with how our schedule was laid out. But even with the setbacks and injuries that we have had I thought they still came out and fought hard today. I would have really liked to have seen Elianne, Natali and Riko's matches finish because they were playing really well against their opponents, but I'm proud of how they fought."
The Huskies fell behind 1-0 after the doubles point went to USC with wins on courts one and three. Elianne Douglas-Miron and Riko Shimizu lost a tightly contested match against Kaitlyn Christian and Brynn Boren, 8-5, while Natali Coronel and Julija Lukac fell 8-4 to Zoe Scandalis and Gabriella DeSimone. Court two's Grace Ysidora and Natali Coronel were also in a battle on court two with the score tied at 7 before the Trojans clinched the point.
In singles action, USC picked up wins on courts four, two and three to take the match. The Huskies had three matches suspended following the fourth point for the Trojans. No. 97 Elianne Douglas-Miron was facing No. 25 Scandalis and was down 6-4, 3-1 while Natali Coronel won her first set against Christian on court five, 7-6, and was behind 1-2 when the match was stopped. On court six, Shimizu fell behind 2-6 in the first set but had bounced back and was up 5-3 in the second before play was suspended.
The Huskies have next weekend off before heading to Pullman on April 4 to face the Cougars at 11 a.m.
"I think this break is coming at a good time for our team," added Hultquist. "We need to rest, recover and get prepared to finish the season strong. "

text: Deputy Prime Minister and Commander of the National Guard Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdulaziz returned to Jeddah today from a visit to a shrimp farm in the area of Al-Laith on the Red Sea, where he inaugurated the first phase of the complex constructed for the National Shrimp Company. In a speech on the occasion, Minister of Agriculture Dr. Abdullah bin Muammar spoke of the Crown Prince's continued support for agricultural and fisheries investment in Jizan Province and on the Tihama plain. The new shrimp farm has a production capacity of 30,000 tons per year, most of which is being exported. Prior to his departure, the Crown Prince referred to the project as a symbol of national investment and a tribute to private sector support for the economy, and urged Saudi businessmen to keep their capital inside the Kingdom through investment for the benefit of all. The government, he said, will continue to promote the interests of investors, such as facilitating soft loans and providing services.

College Hockey:Huskies Sweep Bulldogs With 3-1 Win
DULUTH, Minn. — Minnesota Duluth's plan this weekend was to move back into the top five of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association.
But the sixth-place Bulldogs found out after a loss Friday that there are other concerns. The second division is rapidly gaining ground.
UMD needed a boost in a rematch with ninth-place Michigan Tech on Saturday night at the DECC, but the resurgent Huskies had other ideas.
Brandon Schwartz and Justin St. Louis scored 22 seconds apart in the third period as Michigan Tech rallied to beat UMD, 3-1, before a crowd of 5,041.
It was Michigan Tech's first sweep since winning twice at the DECC last Feb. 4-5. UMD is 3-8-1 at home this season, losing its last six league games.
As the night started, UMD was only a point out of fifth place, but was also just two points ahead of St. Cloud State and Minnesota State-Mankato (tied for seventh). The Bulldogs have been no lower than sixth place this season.
"This was pretty close to a must-win for us, considering how we played Friday when we just didn't show up," said UMD sophomore center Matt McKnight. "We had a lead, but we need to get a killer instinct. We haven't been able to put teams away.
"The longer the score stayed tied (1-1), we became desperate to win. And the thing that killed us was pinching in on two plays, not reading those plays, and giving up two goals."
UMD (8-12-4, 5-8-3 WCHA) exited the weekend tied for sixth with Mankato, which swept Alaska Anchorage.
Michigan Tech freshman goalie Michael-Lee Teslak, starting consecutive games of a series for only the second time this season, was strong with 30 saves. His teammates blocked 22 UMD shots.
The Huskies (6-17-1, 5-10-1) is 4-2-0 in its last six games in the WCHA, including a 4-2 win at No. 1-ranked Wisconsin on Dec. 9.
"These games rank right up there with the Wisconsin win," said Michigan Tech captain Brandon Schwartz, who scored the go-ahead goal in the third period. "We've had a lot of close games where we've played one or two good periods and lost, but we had six strong periods this weekend."
McKnight gave UMD its first lead of the series at 3:08 of the first period. Steve Czech's point drive hit the end boards and rebounded to the right edge of the Michigan Tech net. McKnight was there to deflect the puck behind Teslak, who played in Friday's 4-2 victory.
UMD misfired on a handful of scoring chances early in the second period before Michigan Tech tied the game at 1-1. Persistence by freshman center Ryan Angelow paid off at 3:34 as he had three whacks at the puck at the right edge of the UMD net to earn his third goal of the season.
Consecutive Huskies penalties later in the period, giving UMD a 5-on-3 advantage for 37 seconds, produced no goals leaving the game 1-1 after 40 minutes. Senior center Tim Stapleton had the best power-play opportunity, but his shot went off the left pipe with 9:15 to play in the second.
"We did a good job of keeping our composure when UMD scored the first goal," said Michigan Tech coach Jamie Russell. "We did a good job of blocking shots and letting Michael-Lee see the puck. It wasn't like we were badly outshot and he stood on his head and stole a game. These were two evenly-matched teams and we worked hard to win."
Bulldog scoring leader Mason Raymond was shaken up at 6:10 of the second period during a shorthanded shift. He was ridden into the endboards of the offensive zone and limped off, but returned later in the period.
Two consecutive 2-on-1 breaks delivered Michigan Tech's knockout punch. Schwartz finished off the first at 7:18 of the final period and St. Louis followed at 7:40 to beat goalie Isaac Reichmuth. UMD, leading in final shots on goal, 31-25, was 0-for-7 on power plays and is 0-for-35 its last six games.
"We don't give up any odd-man rushes all game and then we give up two in 30 seconds. That was the difference," said UMD coach Scott Sandelin. "We had a better effort than Friday, but we wanted to be too fancy with the puck and no one wanted to shoot. You have to go to the net."

College Hockey:Northern Michigan Upsets Fifth Ranked Miami
Wildcats Continue to Impress in Season's Second Half
OXFORD, Ohio — The Miami RedHawks came into Friday nights game with the Northern Michigan Wildcats knowing that a win would not be an easy thing to come by. Although the RedHawks were sitting pretty as the second-best team in the CCHA and had already clinched a bye for the first round of the CCHA tournament in March, the Wildcats had a bevy of upsets already this season and were poised to strike again.
To wit, Walt Kyles team had big wins over Michigan and Ohio State. Northern Michigan was also the only team to sweep Wisconsin at the Kohl Center this season.
NMU was able to strike first, with Justin Florek netting a goal against Cody Reichard with just over four minutes remaining in the first period. The goal gave Northern their first lead since they beat Bowling Green on February 7.
Floreks tally came off of assists from Mark Oliver and Phil Fox on the goal. As the final seconds of the period ticked down, the Wildcats Brian Stewart was caught out of position by Miamis Gary Steffes, but Steffes sent the puck wide-left and the RedHawks remained down one as the period ended.
Stewart was a human highlight reel for the Wildcats, stopping nearly everything that came his way finishing the night with 43 saves on 44 shots. Stewarts athleticism and quick moves saved the Wildcats from disaster multiple times.
Hes the heartbeat of our team right now, said NMU assistant coach Rob Facca. We go as he goes.
The second period started out fast when Miamis Vincent Loverde took a check and went flying into Stewart, taking the goalie out along with the goal itself. The hit was powerful enough to send Stewart to the face-off circle in Northerns defensive zone.
Shortly after play resumed, Miamis Justin Mercier clanked a shot off of the crossbar. Miami, who had outshot the Wildcats all night, couldnt buy a goal the way theyre shots were going on Friday. Stewart and his team of defensemen would not let the RedHawks get a good shot off, and when they did it was deflected by either a player or a post.
Northern Michigan however kept plugging away at the vulnerable RedHawk defense. Jared brown was able to put up a goal of his own after snaking a rebound away from Reichard after he had stopped Billy Smiths breakaway attempt. Brown slapped the rebound in with just over 10 minutes left in the second period.
I thought it was a good hockey game, said Miami head coach Enrico Blasi, they executed on a couple more plays than we did.
With two minutes left in the second period, both teams exploded. After a few vicious hits were thrown by both teams, Miamis Justin Vaive and Northerns Nick Sirota decided to try to let their fists work things out, but much damage was done by either player the officials were able to pull the two skaters off of one another and send them both to the box for roughing after the whistle. As the period came to an end Northern Michigan still held the upper hand with Miami trailing 2-0 after two.
The RedHawks were out shooting their opponents 29-14, but had nothing to show for the effort.
The final frame started quietly.
The action on the ice was consistent with how both teams had played all night. Miami was unable to find a good shot. The RedHawks were able to put themselves on the board however with a goal by Vaive off of assists from Pat Cannone and Bill Loupee. The goal cut the lead to one and got the fans in Steve Cady Arena at the Goggin Ice Center on their feet.
The effort from Vaive and company suddenly injected the Miami fans with new life as the previously silent RedHawk faithful turned wild attempting to break the spirit of Stewart. However, Stewart stoned the RedHawks cold for the rest of the night, silencing the usually rowdy RedHawk student section.
I thought the effort was there, said Blasi. Obviously their goaltender played well and we had a couple of miscues.

News is out and Erin Andrews will replace Pam Oliver on the sidelines as the reporter talking to everyone this season on the NFL. On Monday, Yahoo shared the big news about Pam getting a big demotion and not being the sideline reporter. Erin Andrews was on "Dancing With the Stars" last season and it will be interesting to see if she can keep up with both jobs.
It sounds like Oliver knew that this was coming. She spoke out and said, "I think it was predetermined coming in. Not at that meeting, but two years ago it was determined that no matter what I did or did not do, a change would be made for this year." Pam did this job for 19 years and so it isn't shocking that it is time for her to move on. It sounds like she did want to get a 20th year.
She said, "But I live in the real world and I know that television tends to get younger and where women are concerned. Just turn on your TV. It's everywhere. And I'm not saying these younger girls don't deserve a chance. I know I've had my turn." It seems like she is taking the news pretty well and loves that she had her time.
This will be a really big change for the NFL. Fans are going to have to get used to Erin on the sidelines. A lot of people didn't really care for her on "Dancing With the Stars" due to her strong personality. It seems like she is a better fit for the sports and NFL world. It might be hard for her to handle both of these jobs but only time will tell if she will give up "Dancing With the Stars" and stay where she is a better fit in the sports world.

The study also determined what flight information was required for pilot control.
The study investigated deceleration techniques, approach velocity, flare attitude, and the pilot information required for landings within a given footprint. If the site was deemed unsatisfactory for landing, after "eyeballing" it from 305 m (1,000 ft), the pilot would, under normal circumstances, place the coordinates of a new landing site in the computer; then take over manually and fly while making selection of the landing site.

Just when you thought everything's been uncovered in Pokemon X and Pokemon Y, some more new stuff gets discovered! The same leaker who posted pictures of Hoopa, Diancie and Volcanion has discovered the Mega Evolutions of Latios and Latias. By the way, Hoopa, Diancie and Volcanion are now confirmed to be 100% real!
Before you cry out "they look the same!", you are partially correct. Instead of retaining their signature blue and red body colors, both Latios and Latias seem share a new purple body color. Latios is also slightly larger than Latias just like in its regular form.
For those of you who've finished the main storyline in Pokemon X and Pokemon Y, you should recognize the following Floette. The Floette above is a special Floette that belongs to the mysterious man named Az. It appears that Floette will be obtainable sometime in the future!
The most fabulous Arceus of all : Fairy-type Arceus!
Here's an image of Diancie in Pokemon Amie.
Volcanion trying its best to look adorable in Pokemon Amie. It's 100% effective!
Wow! Volcanion's ring can be retracted and it shoots cannons?!?

As a writer in the digital age, there are a number of things we must be aware of. One of the most confusing is the online world of social media. There are a number of things to remember when utilizing social media.
The first is be careful. Your diatribes against your boss, your angry ranting about your friend, or your drunken pictures of your weekend getaway are all accessible online when someone looks up your name. Keep those off by not putting them on in the first place.
The second is be concise. Whatever you're posting, you need to keep it brief and to the point. It may be tempting to write paragraphs about your beliefs or in response to someone else's comments, and sometimes that's necessary, but for the most part keep it short and simple. Twitter is a great tool for learning to do that.
The third is be yourself. It's hard in this day and age to see someone for who they are online. Be honest and show yourself for who you are. That doesn't mean you need to swear or always post Bible verses if that's something you do on a regular basis. Be civil and mindful of others, but put yourself out there and make yourself known as a person.
There have been several local authors who made connections and shared their work through social media. They would never have discovered each other or the books that were written without the benefit of the online world that we all inhabit.
Writers can connect to authors through social media. It's a valuable asset when building up a reader base. It can draw people into your world and make them crave more. You can generate a lot of interest and followers if you practice good social media etiquette.

I am using JDBC to query a MySQL database for specific records from two tables.
My MySQL query sample is this:
, r.network
, r.namestring
, i.name
, r.rid
, i.id
, d.dtime
, d.ifInOctets
FROM router AS r
INNER JOIN interface AS i
ON r.rid = i.rid
INNER JOIN 1278993600_1_60 AS d
ON i.id = d.id
AND dtime BETWEEN 1279027200 AND 1279029000
WHERE r.network = "ITPN"
AND i.status = "active"
WHERE i.id BETWEEN 1418 AND 1518
Now is it possible for me to add all the specific records which I need:
, r.network
, r.namestring
, i.name
, r.rid
, i.id
, d.dtime
, d.ifInOctets
to an array specifically and print it out to an excel sheet?
I tried creating different classes for the 3 tables:
d. Then as I queried the database I created objects and added them to
ArrayLists, which I printed out to a different sheet. (The goal is to print it out to an excel sheet)
But this method is making me store and iterate over millions of objects.
Is there any method to add all records dynamically in an easier less time consuming way and send it to the sheet?

Charles Chilton
The Midland Hotel and St Pancras Station in 1939
Charles tries to keep the past alive
WHEN Victorian entrepreneurs built Kings Cross and St Pancras stations, their plans changed what was then a well-to-do area on the edge of London into a bustling hub for supplying the capital.
And now, 150 years later, dramatic upheavals are happening again: the high speed rail link to Europe and the accompanying development of the railway lands are bringing similar changes.
As bulldozers smash the physical reminders of the 19th and 20th-centuries into rubble, a three-year project to record the memories of people in the area is under way, called Kings Cross Voices and managed by the Kings Cross Community Development Trust.
Charles Chilton MBE, a retired BBC scriptwriter, has told his story.
Mr Chilton was a pioneering radio producer behind the cult 50s show Journey Into Space, Alistair Cookes first broadcasts from America and a host of other well-known BBC programmes. But his background was humble: born in Sandwich Street off Euston Road in 1917, he was raised by his grandmother after his father was killed in World War One and his mother died in the ensuing flu epidemic. He tells of a Kings Cross that is still recognisable but not for much longer.
The Chiltons originally came from Nottingham and settled in Kings Cross because it was where the trains terminated.
My great-great grandfather was a miner and he had been buried underground three times, says Mr Chilton.
He didnt want to ride his luck any longer so he headed south.
The family moved to Sandwich Street which was built in 1810.
Charles says: It cost 12 shillings and six pence a week rent and what bought the level down was the railways.
There were hundreds of poorly paid workers looking after the horses and sorting out deliveries and they had to live near by.
His home was typical of a large working class family of the period.
There were four families in our house and no bathroom but there were two outside toilets and that was luxury, he recalls.
I delivered newspapers on roller skates. I got up at six and delivered until 8.30am. I went home at four for my tea and then was out delivering again.
I was paid two shillings a week and I spent it on the Funny Wonder comic because it had Charlie Chaplin in it, and The Wizard and The Rover, which were boys adventure series.
He delivered the Sketch and the Mirror hardly any one read papers like The Times and the Daily Herald. The Herald encouraged Mr Chilton to read.
He says: They had coupons and when you got a weeks worth you got a Dickens novel. Id collected them all after about two years.
When school finished at the age of 14, he went straight to work.
I got a job in Grays Inn Road making electric signs, Mr Chilton continues. My gran was bamboozled because they said it was an apprenticeship, but it was just cheap labour.
In Christmas 1932 I walked out. It was sacrilege, but I soon got a job at the BBC.
Working in the record library, he wrote an unsolicited script for a show about jazz musicians, and it lead on to a career at Broadcasting House that lasted until his retirement in 1979. But his family were not impressed at first by his decision even though their building firm JF Kirkham meant they survived the depression with a degree of comfort compared to their neighbours.
Lots went without food, Mr Chilton says. I knew people who had not had a days work in six years. Youd see them going to the pawn shops in Chalton Street to raise enough for something to eat.
But despite their relative prosperity, times were also hard for the extended Chilton family.
He said: We had one meal a day on Monday youd have what ever was left over from Sunday. On Tuesday wed have a stew.
Sundays were special: the food improved, there was no school and the afternoons were free.
He said: It was the only day of the week I had breakfast my uncles and aunts got paid on Saturdays, so we could afford it. Wed have eggs, bacon, sausages and tomatoes but never toast we always ate bread and marge. We didnt want to risk burning it.
The Kings Cross Voices Exhibition is open every day except Sundays and Wednesdays at Holborn Library. Call 020 7974 6342 for more details.

Give us a box of tissues, a program and a fork and we're all set for a wedding. The ceremony makes us cry, the program helps us stay on task and the fork, well the fork is for the amazing wedding desserts that a wedding reception has to offer. It's arguably the best place to satisfy your sweet tooth guilt free. After all, it has to be bad luck to say no to a piece of wedding cake! If not, we'll certainly say it is and dig right in. Which leads us to our favorite wedding desserts around; a list that grows longer with each wedding we attend.

Wedding cake is a time honored tradition. The tiers and decorations take hours of preparation and come together to create a true work of edible art. It's almost a shame to cut it up and eat it—almost. In lieu of wedding cake, some brides are opting out of the multi-tiered dessert for cupcakes, dessert bars, cupcake buffets and other alternatives. The smaller desserts offer the option to serve more flavors and variety. Wedding cupcakes can be dressed up with cupcake wrappers, frosting decorations and cupcake toppers for a beautiful look that rivals the wedding cake dessert for best in class.
Create a combination of wedding cake and cupcakes by building a cake stand that has both cake and cupcake tiers. A dessert table can accomplish the same variety of looks. So far on our list of favorite wedding desserts: mixing different cupcakes, macaroons, candy and pies to create a dessert table to please everyone's sweet tooth. Some cultures even have the mothers and aunts in the family prepare the desserts as a good omen for a healthy kitchen and plentiful home. The tradition dates back to Europe as a symbol of the woman's role in the kitchen and the beautiful desserts to be made. A wise mother once told me, "the fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach" and what better place to spoil your man rotten than with a plethora of desserts at your wedding! Wedding desserts are the cherry on top of a beautiful wedding day so don't be afraid to go over the top with lots of sweet concoctions!

The Gallery at UTA Presents Flight Deck: Public Art at DFW and Love FieldPosted on January 14, 2013
Exhibition Dates: January 14 – February 16, 2013
Reception: Friday, January 25, 5:30 – 8:00 pm
Gallery talk during the reception beginning at 6:30 pm
Inspired by the ongoing Love Field Modernization Project as well as the $6 million commissioned art program at DFW International Airport, curator Benito Huerta organized this exhibition to showcase the lively public art activity at the two major airports in the Metroplex. Public art - artwork created specifically for a publicly-accessible location – moves an artist's work out of the confines of the gallery or museum and allows it to be seen by a wider audience in a less traditional setting. Enlivening the surroundings and enhancing the identities of the airports, public art at DFW and Love Field is a highly visible expression of the cultural diversity and vibrancy of the north Texas art scene.
The exhibit and all events are free and open to the public.
Gallery hours are 10 am until 5 pm Monday through Friday and noon until 5 pm on Saturday. The Gallery is located in the Fine Art Building, room 169, at 502 S. Cooper Street, Arlington, TX.
For more information contact Benito Huerta or Patricia Healy (817) 272-5658 or www.uta.edu/gallery.
The 2012-2013 exhibition schedule is made possible by the generous support of Arlington Camera, the Hanley Foundation, Hilton Arlington, and Nerwin & Martin Fine Art Services.

Ex-Army Ranger, Brand Killien, has always been good.
A good friend, a good soldier, a good everything. .
The problem is, good hasn't gotten him anything but a crushed heart.
So after licking his wounds, he decides to move on. And moving on doesn't include being good anymore.
Jaded and detached, Brand is determined to never open himself up to anyone again. It's not worth the pain. Instead, he becomes closed, hardened, aloof.
But then he's called back home for a family emergency… a family that he is estranged from. A family that he put out of his mind a long time ago for very good reasons…reasons that involve secrets and pain. Reasons he tried hard to forget.
But home is where the heart is, and it just might be where Brand finds his again.
Why? Because home is where Nora Greene is. A fiery, red-headed spitfire, Nora is a thing from his past. A beautiful, feisty thing. When Brand left, she was away at boarding school.
But she's back now.
And she wants Brand, scars and all.
(From Amazon)
My Thoughts:
I have read all of the books in the Beautifully Broken series by Courtney Cole and so I have been waiting awhile for Brand's story. He first appeared in Gabe's story and I immediately fell in love with him. So of course I wanted to know more about him. So consider my elation when I discovered that the author was finally - FINALLY - giving him his own story. After what he suffered through with Jacey in the last two books, I figured he deserved to get his own happy ending with a woman who is not only totally deserving of him, but will treasure him like no other. I am happy to say he gets all that with Nora Greene. She is an amazing woman who is enduring her own personal hell, but she is just so right for Brand. Together, they create and endearing love story that will leave readers breathless. And to think at one point, I wanted him to get together with Jacey (because he loved her so much), but after reading this story, I'm so glad he didn't. Jacey was all wrong for him, but Nora is completely right. And she loves him for all the right reasons (Jacey's were sometimes selfish),which is just what this incredible, wounded man deserves. I absolutely loved reading Brand's story - but I'm upset that it's over. What am I going to look forward to now?
Go read this book - you'll be glad you did.

CLAIM: Jessica Simpson Had Drunken Meltdown Over Her Weight
Jessica Simpson recently had a drunken "meltdown" at the Los Angeles nightclub Eden, reports Star magazine.
According to an alleged "source" for the magazine, Simpson "whined about her struggle to lose weight and her lack of friends – and drowned her sorrows in vodka and champagne!"
The mag goes on to claim that Simpson, who's pictured in the tabloid's story hanging out with fiance Eric Johnson and some female friends, was supposedly feeling so "lonely" that she "begged Paris Hilton to hang out with her."
"Jessica has isolated herself with Eric much of the time over the last year, and it cost her a lot of friends," says another so-called "source," who adds, "Whenever Eric is busy, Jessica's world seems a lonely place to live in."
Actually, the happily engaged singer and fashion mogul is anything but lonely.
A source close to Simpson calls the tab's story "ridiculous," saying, "She had a great night with a group of friends!"
