Among them? Bill Horn and Scout Masterson, a.k.a. The Guncles, who officially tied the knot at the Van Nuys Courthouse on Wednesday – a major step after more than 10 years together.
"We're excited to share that we got legally married this week! After over a decade of being a couple, the ability to legally marry is a huge milestone for our family – and all other LGBT families out there," the couple tell PEOPLE. "We couldn't be more thrilled."
But this wasn't the couple's first trip down the aisle. Their original decision to wed came in 2009, when Masterson, 38, and Horn, 41, turned to party planner – and best friend – Tori Spelling, who went to work putting together a wedding in Palm Springs.
While California supported marriage equality at the time, as the much-anticipated day drew closer, the right was revoked.
"We had full intentions of that ceremony being a legal wedding, but by the time we had planned it and set a date, marriage was illegal for us again in California," Masterson says. "So that to-be wedding was a commitment ceremony. It was wonderful to share that day with all of our family and friends to celebrate our love."
With same-sex marriage deemed legal once again, Masterson admits that while whipping up a formal wedding was "tempting," ultimately the two weren't willing to take any chances. "We wanted to be certain we didn't miss our opportunity again," he explains.
"On Monday we spent nearly five hours at the Van Nuys courthouse waiting in line to receive our marriage certificate, and we took the first available time to be legally married."
Other than downsizing the celebration, there was one other distinct difference between the couple's 2009 commitment ceremony and their recent exchanging of vows: joining the newlyweds was their 3-year-old daughter Simone, whom they adopted in 2010.

While the "five minute" affair was "very lovely," marital bliss will pay off in a big way when next year's tax season rolls around. "A major, life changing difference is now we can actually file a joint federal tax return and not be charged all of the extra taxes and preparation fees," Masterson says.
"I don't think people realize – unless you're close with a LGBT family – that the things married couples took for granted are now very much celebrated by families like us."
But even a tax break can't trump their new titles. "Oh, and we can say, 'This is my husband!'" Masterson adds.

Often, your question will have been asked by someone else, and they answers they received will help you too. The search field is on the upper right, which performs a general search on everything.

Posting If you are unable to find your answers in the FAQs or by searching the boards, or if the answer was incomplete or not quite correct for your situation, you should post your question. Please follow this procedure 1) Create your own topic. Do not jump into another persons topic. This only creates confusion and makes the board harder to search. Even if the problems seems similar to you, more often than not, the answer to your request will be something different from the original post. 2) DO NOT double post. The most knowledgeable and helpful members read all the boards and help in anyway. Double posting only marks you as an annoyance, and does not help you get answers any faster.

"Need help" , "Help me", etc is not useful to forum members. At the very least, your topic will be re-named, thus making it difficult for YOU to find it again. And typing something like 'HELP ME!!!!!!' as a subject line is pretty much a guarantee that your post will be read last, as most people prefer to take care of the post they know something about first (Those with a descriptive subject line) 5) It's not mandatory, but it's often a huge help to you if you list your location in your profile. Often it will prompt a response from somebody who fishes the same lakes and rivers as you.

Women PeaceMakers
As one of the Institute for Peace and Justice's flagship programs, the Women PeaceMakers program documents the stories and best practices of international women leaders who are involved in human rights and peacemaking efforts in their home countries.
Women on the frontlines of efforts to end violence and secure a just peace seldom record their experiences, activities and insights, as generally there is no time, or, perhaps, no formal education that would help them record their work.
The Women PeaceMakers program offers an opportunity for women leaders who want to document, share and build upon their unique peacemaking stories.
In addition to documenting their stories, women give presentations on their work at the institute and in the San Diego community. They have opportunities to exchange ideas and approaches to peacemaking and justice, which increases their capacity to participate in conflict resolution, peacebuilding efforts and post-conflict decision making.
The Women PeaceMakers program works increasingly to project participants as experts and advocates in gendered peacebuilding processes locally, regionally and internationally.
The institute gratefully acknowledges Cigna for supporting the 2015 Women PeaceMakers program.
"[I] especially appreciate IPJ's Women PeaceMakers Program as a powerful tool to make the knowledge and experience of women engaged in peace processes accessible to a broader audience and, at the same time, provide these women with the opportunity to further enhance their skills."
- Michelle Bachelet, President of Chile, Former Executive Director of UN Women

On Sunday, Timberlake, 32, kicked off the fan-voted American Music Awards with a win for favorite pop/rock male artist before taking home awards for soul/R&B artist and soul/R&B album categories.
He also brought the audience to their feet with his performance of "Drink You Away," an alcohol-infused anthem from his latest release, The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2.
But while everyone in the house seemed to be under Timberlake's spell, Biel, 31, was nowhere to be found. Fans took to Twitter to ponder where she was (and note their jealousy over her hot hubby).
The actress soon announced she was watching the Awards from home.
"I'm watching from home tonight. Calm down, Internet," she wrote.
Although they were apart on Timberlake's big night, two days prior, Biel shared a photo from Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience World Tour," captioning it, "Not a bad seat in the house."
Earlier this month, the couple attended the vows of fellow 'NSYNC member, Chris Kirkpatrick in Orlando, Fla.

UNIVERSITY PARK -- Purdue gave Ohio State a tougher challenge than Penn State did, yet got destroyed by Minnesota.
Purdue gave undefeated Notre Dame a big scare (20-17 loss), yet gave up 41 points in a close win over Marshall.
Purdue has lost four in a row and appears to be dead in the Big Ten water, yet it also could be dangerous because it has a talented roster and a coach who could be fired if he doesn't finish strong and must try anything he can to stop his team's bleeding.
Article Video
There's no telling which Boilermakers team will show up to play Penn State on Saturday. That's what makes this kind of game dangerous for the Nittany Lions, who not only have to worry about avoiding a letdown after losing their biggest game of the season, they also have no idea what to expect from their incredibly inconsistent opponent.
"They've played some teams very well this season and could easily have a few more wins than they have," PSU quarterback Matt McGloin said. "We know they're a dangerous team."
Purdue had Ohio State beaten two weeks ago before squandering a seven-point lead on a last-second touchdown and losing in overtime, 29-22.
In Columbus.
Any team that can go on the road and challenge the Buckeyes like that must be tough. Right?
That same Purdue team came out this past weekend and fell behind at Minnesota, 44-7, before losing, 44-28. The Gophers entered the game winless in the Big Ten.
"The game got away from us really fast, and that's unfortunate," Hope said before later adding, "Throughout the course of the season, many times we've been a greatly improved football team. We didn't demonstrate that this past Saturday."
The Boilermakers' defense hasn't demonstrated much at all in the past month, allowing 39.2 points over the last five games. They're hoping standout defensive tackle Kawann Short will be able to play this week after suffering an ankle injury against Minnesota.
Purdue was in pretty much the same situation last week that Penn State is in this week.
The Boilermakers suffered a crushing loss in letting a huge game slip away against Ohio State. Then they had to go on the road the next week against a Minnesota team many people believed was not very good.
The Nittany Lions are coming off an emotionally draining loss in their biggest game of the season against the Buckeyes and now go on the road to face a Purdue team that some believe is not very good.
Notre Dame and Ohio State, however, would disagree.
"We lost a little momentum as a football team, and maybe some confidence as a football team, and those are the things that we're working on the hardest right now," Hope said.
If the Boilermakers figure those things out, they very well could add a second straight blow to what has been feel-good Penn State season.
"We'd better match their intensity, or we can get beat," PSU cornerback Adrian Amos said.
"We know it's going to be a tough game," McGloin said. "You have to have the mindset that they're going to do things you're not going to expect to see."
Lion coach Bill O'Brien will have to get his team prepared for a Purdue team that has its back against the wall and will be playing for pride. Just like the Penn State kids are playing for pride with no bowl game or conference title to compete for.
"This team only has four games left, and every game is a bowl game for us, every time we go out there," O'Brien said.
He later added, "Regardless of whatever is going on with any team that you play, and vice versa, we've got to go out there, and our players, I believe, understand that we have only four more opportunities. We only play once a week, that's all we have. So we're going to put it all out there hopefully on Saturday."

It's great that people are migrating toward organic and natural foods, but sometimes they come with a false sense of security. The term "organic" is monitored by the FDA and requires certification, but "natural" and "all natural" aren't regulated at all.
According to the USDA, 88% of corn and 94% of soybeans that are grown in America are genetically modified. In fact, Frito-Lay was recently sued for putting the "all natural" label on products that contain genetically modified corn. At that point, it's hard to tell whether the company was deliberately lying, or whether they honestly thought that genetically modified corn could still be considered "natural." Regardless, neither excuse is a good one, and it shows that someone needs to make sure these companies are sticking to their word.
Roughly forty other countries already require labels on genetically modified food. It's impossible to say when America will be one of them, so it's important to shop with caution in the meantime.

Wow. Elene would have been first if only she did her Axel.
Wow. Elene would have been first if only she did her Axel.
Elene continuously looses concentration during her programs. A pity, I really enjoyed this SP and it rarely happens when I watch Elene.
Elene was underscored.
She deserved 60+ and second place.
Brian Orser did a great job with her.
The confidence of a Euro medal; skating with Brian has done wonders for Elene. Although Brian doesn't seem to have much luck with his own country's skaters. I think he has Cynthia Phaneuf and she is still struggling; he should pick up Joannie Rochette and train her for 2014 Sochi. I still think Elene should be behind Alena.
Ksenia, clean skate but not as exciting as the last 3.
Elena has improved a lot
would have had her 2nd ahead of Mao
time for Makarova :run:
Ksenia is clean so far but her jumps look questionable in terms of rotation to me
Loved Makarova! My favorite SP this season.
Makarova was really good, but that sucks about her skate, I was so worried it was actually going to come undone and almost fall off. Good thing she'd done all her jumps when it started to untie!
oh, dear, I just scrolled back and read about Mao.
I love Ksenia's SP. Although she seemed exteremely focused on technical elements. It is lovely, light, with nice choreographic nuances. I hope she does not get dinged this time!

New, 8:06 a.m.
AUSTIN – Investigators intervened in scheduled testimony by two former officials of Texas' cancer-fighting agency to a legislative committee.
Dr. Alfred Gilman, the former chief scientific officer of the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, and ex-executive director Bill Gimson were set to answer questions Wednesday morning from members of the House Appropriations Committee.
But Rep. Jim Pitts, the committee's chairman, said he withdrew the invitation for the two to testify after hearing Tuesday afternoon from the Travis County District Attorney's office and the attorney general's office.
The DA is conducting a criminal investigation of how CPRIT has awarded grants, and the AG is conducting a civil probe.
Pitts said both Gilman and Gimson, accompanied by their attorneys, were "willing to testify."
But on Tuesday afternoon, Pitts said his office was advised by the district attorney and the attorney general that there are "significant legal concerns with the potential impact that public testimony by these two individuals before this committee might have on the criminal and civil investigation underway by their office."
As a result, Pitts said he decided to rescind the invitation to Gilman and Gimson to testify. Both men resigned from CPRIT last year.
"That is why neither gentleman is here today," said Pitts, R-Waxahachie.

The Evolution of Corporate Law: A Cross-Country Comparison

University of Pennsylvania, Journal of International Economic Law, Vol. 23, No. 4, pp. 791-871
Corporate law as it exists in any given country today is the result of roughly 200 years of legal change and legal adaptation. Provisions that today are hailed as indicators for good corporate governance did not exist when the first statutory corporate laws were put in place. This simple insight raises the question about the evolution of corporate law. In this paper we analyze ten jurisdictions representing the three major legal families as well as transplant countries and origin countries to explore the patterns of legal change over time. We find origin countries from common law and civil law families have experienced substantial legal change and adaptation over time. By contrast, legal transplants from both legal families have often retained the transplanted law for decades despite substantial economic change. The area of corporate law where we find the most significant change over time are corporate finance provisions. Provisions concerning corporate governance structures and entry and exit rules are also investigated.

The most incredible guy in the universe, end of story. He's sweet, caring, and truly amazing. He isn't concerned with himself at all, but instead he's concerned with other people. He always knows the perfect thing to say and the right time to say it. He takes your breath away and leaves you speechless. And he has a way of making your heart melt like no one else ever will. Robert is so wonderful, it's almost impossible to find the words to match.
That guy is so amazing... He must be a Roberto.

COLUMBIA — Tension rose from field level to the top rows of Williams-Brice Stadium, filling South Carolina's home Saturday night.
Before halftime, the equation outside USC's control was handled. Auburn beat Georgia in a miraculous, comeback victory four hours away, setting off a celebration among South Carolina fans in the first quarter.
Now, the Gamecocks only needed to beat Florida — a program decimated by injuries, a team they were expected to dominate — to move one step closer to the SEC championship game next month in Atlanta.
That was the tricky part.
It took longer than expected — and much more stress than anticipated along the way — but the No. 11 Gamecocks finally put the Gators away, 19-14, before a season-high sellout crowd of 83,853. Freshman kicker Elliott Fry made a career-high four field goals, including a 22-yarder that gave USC its first lead at 16-14 with 6:43 left in the game.
"I'm proud of our players. Our players played like winners," USC coach Steve Spurrier said. "At halftime, there wasn't a lot of laughter. There wasn't much joy in our locker room. Then afterward, we had a happy bunch of Gamecocks."
USC (8-2, 6-2 SEC East) closed out its conference season one game behind Missouri, which ends its SEC schedule with difficult games at Ole Miss and home against Texas A&M. If the Tigers lose one, the Gamecocks will head to Atlanta to play the SEC West champion because they own the head-to-head tiebreaker.
The night gave USC fans plenty of reason to rejoice, but there was more relief when the game ended than sheer joy. Despite playing with third-string quarterback Skyler Mornhinweg, the Gators (4-6) pulled away to a shocking 14-6 halftime lead. The Gamecocks had to play catchup the rest of the way.
It wasn't over until senior cornerback Jimmy Legree intercepted Mornhinweg with less than two minutes left.
Florida rushed for 200 yards on 41 carries, an average of 4.9 yards per carry. Mornhinweg completed 10 of 13 passes for 107 yards, only throwing down field on third-and-long.
USC defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward said he prepared for Mornhinweg to play, even though he didn't know Gators quarterback Tyler Murphy would be inactive until the game began.
"I wish he would've played," defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward said of Murphy. "I say that because I think any time you play a team where all they can do is run the football, it makes it tougher."
USC quarterback Connor Shaw completed 14 of 28 passes for 213 yards and a 32-yard touchdown to receiver Bruce Ellington. Running back Shon Carson had 13 carries for 102 yards, while sophomore Mike Davis finished with 13 carries for 54 yards.
"Florida's defense is really good," Shaw said. "We knew that coming in. We just couldn't find a rhythm in the first half. We got down to the red zone, and we couldn't punch it in. In the second half, I felt like we battled a little stronger. I thought we came in and adjusted at halftime and played pretty good in the second half. We just found a way to win."
Not just once. In reality, the Gamecocks won twice Saturday.
Spurrier learned Auburn beat Georgia in the first quarter when the big screen inside Williams-Brice Stadium showed the final score. He said there was no mention of that game until his team returned to the locker room after its victory secure.
He expects to follow a similar plan with Missouri, paying attention from afar while focusing on Coastal Carolina and Clemson to close out the season.
"This was a wonderful win for South Carolina," Spurrier said. "The fans were super, screaming and yelling. That made it tough on the Gators.
"Just to get a win the way it started out was good for us, good for the Gamecocks."

A robot with a bright light and the ability to transmit images can reveal huge orange coral sea fans, bright green sponges and an occasional deep-sea fish — from the ocean floor 1,300 feet down.
Even an experienced diver couldn't go to that depth, where temperatures hover around 40 degrees, said Peter Etnoyer, a marine biologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
But the crew aboard NOAA's research vessel, the Okeanos Explorer, can use its robot to live stream images from such canyons and other places along the ocean floor. And it did that Friday for a gathering of marine biologists, staff and visitors at the S.C. Aquarium.
It marked the first time the Okeanos crew transmitted images from a mission to a public audience, said Paula Keener, a marine biologist and director of education programs for NOAA.
NOAA and the aquarium worked to set up a room with plasma screens, and groups could come in and watch what was going on. The scientists also were able to communicate online with the crew from the Okeanos, which was about 100 miles off the coast of Massachusetts.
A group of children from Bluffton stared at the screen as the robot moved along the ocean floor sending its images of various sea creatures.
Tyler Montford, who is 10, said the images were awesome.
Brian Thill, the aquarium's assistant director of education programs, called the experience "fantastic and amazing."
Children learn about explorers like Lewis and Clark in school, he said. This technology gave the children and everybody else who was watching the opportunity to be explorers. "Today, they are just like Lewis and Clark," he said.
Keener said the ocean is unexplored territory, and now, with the help of researchers, people can explore it in real time. The ocean covers 74 percent of the planet, she said, but only about 5 percent of it has been explored.
Adults visiting the aquarium also were impressed with the images.
"It's really neat," said Dustin Dargis who was visiting from Augusta, Ga. "It's definitely a unique experience to see it live," he said.
He also said he thinks such events can help people become more aware of the ocean's environmental health. "You'll be able to see the impact of fishing and other things," he said.
Keener said the technology also allows the marine scientists to get input from scientists who specialize in other fields. For instance on Friday, several other scientists, including a geologist, were watching from other sites and providing input online. That's important, she said, because "ocean exploration, by definition, has to be multidisciplinary."

Right to Work Foundation Announces Offer of Free Legal Aid to Chattanooga Volkswagen Employees
Union and company are reportedly colluding to force workers into union ranks
Springfield, VA (April 1, 2013) – Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Foundation, has issued the following statement in response to recent media reports that United Auto Worker (UAW) union and Volkswagen AG (VOW.DE) officials are in talks to unionize the VW workers at the Chattanooga, Tennessee plant:
"Recent media reports suggest that UAW union officials are working to negotiate the workplace conditions of Volkswagen's Chattanooga employees even though the workers are not represented by the UAW union hierarchy.
"The National Right to Work Foundation has seen again and again the UAW union hierarchy pressure companies to cut backroom deals designed to push workers into union ranks whether the employees like it or not. For example, UAW officials vetoed pay increases and secretly pre-negotiated bargaining concessions at the expense of Freightliner workers in North and South Carolina in exchange for company assistance in unionizing the workers.

UPDATE: Steelworker pleads guilty in woman's death
MADISON, Wis. (AP) _ A Massachusetts steelworker has pleaded guilty in his former girlfriend's death.
Prosecutors charged 40-year-old Phillip Byrd with first-degree intentional homicide in April. They believe he shot 43-year-old Cheryl Gilberg during a struggle at her Mazomanie home in February.
Investigators wrote in court documents that Byrd told them he and Gilberg had magical chemistry together until she stuck her revolver in his mouth. He knocked the gun out of his mouth and tackled her; the gun went off twice as they wrestled. He saw Gilberg lying on the floor, thought she was still alive and got frightened. He fled to another woman's trailer.
Byrd pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of second-degree intentional homicide in a deal with prosecutors Thursday. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 60 years in prison.
A charge of first degree murder has been filed against Phillip Byrd in the shooting death of 43 year old Cheryl Gilberg in February. According to a criminal complaint, Byrd told detectives that it was Gilberg who initially pointed a gun at him. He says the two struggled and that the gun went off, striking Gilberg twice in the head and through a pillow Byrd says she was using to cover her face. Police are skeptical of the story as Byrd described a "tooth and nail" struggle but he had very few injuries.
The Dane County Sheriff announced Wednesday afternoon that Phillip Bryd would be charged in the death of a Mazomanie woman.
Phillip Byrd has been a suspect for weeks in the shooting death of Cheryl Gilberg. Byrd and Gilberg knew each other. She was killed in late February inside her home.
Bryd has been held in Rock County on unrelated charges.
Sheriff Dave Mahoney today said Bryd will be charged with First Degree Intentional Homicide. He is expected to appear in a Dane County courtroom Thursday.
UPDATE: Thursday, March 20, 2014:
The Dane County Sheriff's Department is again searching along Highway 14 for evidence in the murder of Cheryl Gilberg, specifically a Charter Arms Pink Lady .38 caliber revolver that has been missing from Gilberg's home. The Dane County Sheriff's Office also asks that motorists traveling the stretch of highway be aware of their presence and use caution.
UPDATED Wednesday, March 5, 2014 --- 3:17 p.m.
The Dane Co. Sheriff says that Phillip Byrd is now the suspect in the death of Cheryl Gilberg.
Gilberg is the Mazomanie woman shot and killed last month inside her home.
Byrd is still in custody in Rock Co. on other charges.
The Sheriff asks anyone who had contact with Gilberg or Byrd the weekend of Feb 21st to contact police.
Authorities are also looking for a gun missing from Gilberg's home. The gun is colored pink. With snowmobile trails open again, officials hope the pink gun will turn up. If you see it, they ask that you do not touch it, and call police.
The Sheriff also asks anyone who say a black SUV parked along Highway 14 between Mazomanie and Middleton on Sunday, Feb. 23rd to call their tip line at 608-284-6900.
UPDATED Tuesday, March 4, 2014 --- 3:50 p.m.
A man named a person of interest in a Mazomanie homicide case appeared in a Rock Co. courtroom Tuesday.
Phillip Byrd faces two drug charges and two bail jumping charges.
According to the criminal complaint, investigators found prescription pills belonging to Cheryl Gilberg when they arrested Byrd in Janesville.
Gilberg is the Mazomanie woman shot and killed last month inside her home.
So far no arrests have been made in her death. Again, Byrd has only been called a person of interest in that case.
Byrd has another court date in Rock Co. later this month.
UPDATED -Friday, February 28, 204--
Dane County deputies will resume their search of an area off Highway 14 near Black Earth today. The Sheriff's Dept is looking for evidence in connection with the murder of 43 year old Cheryl Gilberg of Mazomanie, however they don't give specifics on what type of evidence they are looking for.
Dane Co. Sheriff officials confirm that authorities are searching near Black Earth for evidence in the Cheryl Gilberg homicide investigation.
Dispatchers confirmed with NBC15 News Thursday afternoon that authorities are searching the general area of Highway 14 near Black Earth.
Gilberg was found in a Mazomanie home Sunday night. An autopsy by the Dane County medical examiner determined Gilberg was shot to death.
Phillip Byrd has been named a person of interest in the case. He is in custody on charges unrelated to the case.
Dane Co. Sheriff officials have named 39-year-old Phillip Byrd of Janesville as a person of interest in the death of Cheryl Gilberg.
Gilberg was found in a Mazomanie home Sunday night. An autopsy by the Dane County medical examiner determined Gilberg was shot to death.
Byrd is being held in the Rock Co. Jail on other charges.
UPDATED Tuesday, February 25, 2014 ---
Dane Co. Sheriff officials have identified the victim of a homicide in Mazomanie as 43-year-old Cheryl Gilberg.
The Medical Examiner reports that the cause of death is homicidal firearm violence.
The Sheriff says no one is charged in the case at this time. He says the crime does not appear to be a random act.
UPDATED Tuesday, February 25, 2014 ---
Dane Co. Sheriff officials are now calling the death of a woman in Mazomanie a homicide.
Authorities have scheduled a press conference on the investigation for 3:00 p.m. Tuesday.
Dane Co. deputies are investigating a suspicious death in the Village of Mazomanie.
Deputies responded to a report of an injured woman at 306 Scott Street Sunday night around 7:10. The middle-aged woman was pronounced dead at the scene by the medical examiner's office.
Right now, deputies are following up with friends, relatives and acquaintances to gather more information.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Dane County tip line at 608-284-6900.

Today I shot my first capybara, after days of searching. But finally we found it (and a big one!). I used my 16 gauge shotgun, loaded with a 0.9 oz slug in the right barrel, and #1 buck in the left barrel. I first saw it looking at me and I pointed the shotgun in between his eyes, and shot him a #1 buck, right in the face. After that it jumped into water and tried to swim, but I shot him with the slug, and then it just sinked. With help of a friend we could bring him out of the water.

Hamburger Bahnhof - Museum für Gegenwart - Berlin
The collection of Erich Marx is closely bound up with the history of the Hamburger Bahnhof. Following the comprehensive remodelling of the former railway terminus by architect Josef Paul Kleihues and the construction of a large barrel-vaulted painting gallery to the east, the Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart opened in 1996 with the Marx Collection. The core of the collection revolves around works by world-famous artists of the second half of the 20th century, such as Joseph Beuys, Anselm Kiefer, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly and Andy Warhol, from whom Erich Marx acquired groups of works of the highest quality. To this selection he continually added new works by contemporary male and female artists.
Works from the Marx Collection are being shown on temporary and permanent display. Among those on permanent display is a large series of works by Joseph Beuys in the west wing of the museum. The exhibition "CAPITAL: DEBT – TERRITORY – UTOPIA," which revolves around the Joseph Beuys environment "The Capital Space 1970–1977" that was recently acquired by Erich Marx, will be presented in the Kleihueshalle in summer 2016. Major works from the collection by Anselm Kiefer, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly and Andy Warhol will be on view again in the Kleihueshalle as of December 2016.

It's a month plus since the BB&T Charleston Wine+ Food Festival and subsequent James Beard dinner. If you're having a little celebrity chef withdrawal, round up these hot chef-authored cookbooks.
"Try This at Home." Richard Blais, Atlanta's ubercreative founder of Flip Burger, haute-dog HD1 and The Spence restaurants, may be best-known to the national audience for his Top Chef molecular gastronomy. In his cookbook, he includes modernist techniques by offering some variations titled "2.0," which call for liquid nitrogen and soda siphons should you want to make his famous Mustard Caviar or turn things into foam. However, the standard version of the 125 recipes are squarely centered on techniques that can be employed by the home cook.
The same flair for flavor that has made Blais' restaurants a success makes the book desirable. We by the sea can dig a tartar sauce ramped up with aioli, jalapeno and lemon zest. Old Bayonnaise — again, aioli spiked with Old Bay seasoning, fish sauce and sriracha — can enliven our crab cakes, especially if paired with Brussels Sprouts Slaw.
Blais doubles-down all across the menu. Corncobs infuse Creamed Corn Soup to intensify the corn essence. Red beets invigorate a cantaloupe and avocado salad. Sweetbreads shaped into nuggets are fried up Buffalo-wing style. Pastrami spices, brown sugar and mustard punch up a brisket. Cornbread is paired with Sweet Tea Ice Cream.
If you want to dial up the wow-factor in your cooking, look to Blais. Hardcover. Clarkson Potter/Publishing. $30.
"Old-School Comfort Food." Chef Alex Guarnaschelli delivers low-tech recipes, many of which she learned at her famous mother's knees — hence the book's subtitle, "The Way I Learned to Cook."
Familial comfort food includes Mom's Mashed Potatoes "Chantilly" and Dad's Little Spareribs. Comfort food Alex-style can be Crispy Squid With Garlic, Red Pepper Flakes and Basil or Pasta With Spicy Lamb Sausage and Yellow Tomato Sauce. The daughter of renowned cookbook editor Maria Guarnaschelli, Alex ate well. As chef of the New York restaurant Butter, Alex cooks well. Make these recipes and so will you.
Hardcover. Clarkson Potter Publishers. $30.
"The Family Table: Favorite Staff Meals From Our Restaurants to Your Home." An established restaurant rule is that a nourishing meal fosters a better performing staff. The ingredients come from the restaurant's supplies, and the dishes are cooked by rotating staff.
Michael Romano, culinary director of Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group, offers collected recipes from the restaurants' family-style meals in this cookbook. Representing a multicultural span from Yellow Bell Pepper Panzanella to Thai Beef, they provide great inspiration for what can be put together from a pantry.

Dillon Anthony set the pace for the Durango High School wrestlers Saturday at the annual Southwestern League Championships in Montrose.
Competing in duals against the five other SWL teams, the Demons managed a 1-4 team mark while giving up three weight classes to forfeits.
The Demons beat Montezuma-Cortez but lost to Grand Junction, Grand Junction Central, Fruita Monument and Montrose. Scores were unavailable Saturday night.
Anthony, returning to the mat after battling injuries this season, went 5-0 in Saturday�s duals and was named All-SWL at 132 pounds. He was the only DHS wrestler to win all five matches and earn the all-conference designation.
�I was really impressed with him. He looked like the Dillon Anthony we saw last year,� DHS head coach Doug Cuddie said of the former state qualifier.
�He came out and wrestled really well.�
Clay Dillon of DHS went 4-1 at 126 pounds.
Nick Tarpley, Durango�s 152-pounder who is ranked No. 1 in Class 4A by coloradopreps.com this week, also went 4-1 on Saturday.
Tarpley won all of his matches except one � a contest against Jacob Trujillo of Grand Junction, the top-ranked Class 5A wrestler at 145 pounds.
�Junction moved their 145-pounder up to wrestle Nick,� Cuddie said. �And that Jacob Trujillo is really, really good.�
Daniel Gustavson went 4-1 on Saturday at 220 pounds for the Demons.
Patrick Cunnion (170), Garrett Marcum (145) and Matthew Lavengood (112) all went 3-2 on Saturday.
�Individually, at different times, we wrestled well,� Cuddie said. �We just didn�t put anything together as a team. It�s tough with three forfeits.�
But Cuddie said he was happy with the progress his wrestlers showed in Saturday�s marathon.
�We got much better (Saturday), which will prepare us for next week,� Cuddie said.
DHS will head back to Montrose on Friday and Saturday for Class 4A regionals, where they will not see Class 5A Grand Junction, Central or Fruita Monument.

The Young and the Restless star welcomed daughter Natalia Scout Lee Stafford on Monday at 11:23 p.m., her rep confirms exclusively to PEOPLE.
The baby – born via surrogate – weighed 8 lbs., 3 oz. and measured 19 inches in length. "She is healthy, gorgeous, and amazing – Michelle is out of her mind happy," the rep says in a statement.
After announcing in September that her decision to turn to a surrogate had been successful and that she was, indeed, expecting her first child, Stafford celebrated the impending arrival with a whimsical baby shower late last month alongside her closest friends.

Maxalt in canada Lloyd breezed into the end zone and the Patriots went up 14-0 in in the first quarter of what would be an eventual 42-14 demolition of Houston.
"That was definitely a scheme play, maxalt in canada" Lloyd said. Maxalt in canada "We worked hard on that all week, maxalt in canada and when the opportunity presented itself, maxalt in canada Coach [Josh] McDaniels called it at the right time and we were able to take advantage of it."
Lloyd's second touchdown came on a fumble recovery in the end zone, maxalt in canada after Danny Woodhead lost the ball after catching a screen pass early in the fourth quarter. Maxalt in canada Texans defensive lineman J.J. Maxalt in canada Watt punched the ball out of Woodhead's arms and it bounced 13 yards into the end zone, maxalt in canada where Lloyd grabbed it like he was pulling in a Brady pass.

"Obviously the Texans are a really good football team, maxalt in canada" he said. Maxalt in canada "We did a pretty good job of executing in the first half, maxalt in canada for the most part, maxalt in canada but we still have things that we need to improve on. Maxalt in canada I think we had a great week of practice and we did things that were necessary to come out and execute well. Maxalt in canada It was a team effort."

Tattoo usually positioned on the lower back of a exotic dancer and or a female. Usually accompanied with low rising pants with a "Thong" underwear exposed.
I had a date with a girl. Once I saw her Tramp Stamp, I knew it was a sure thing.
de Deez 09 Martie 2005
The Tattoo found on the lower region of a womans back. Often a tribal symbol or artwork that is wider than tall, such as angel wings, vines, and butterflies. It origins are believed to have started with early indian tribe(s) when a male would place his 'brand' on his female partners lower back to discourage other males, where the strategically placed brand would be seen during sexual acts, such as the 'doggie style' position.
Ironically, today it is usually understood by society as associated with sexual promiscuity and commonly reffered to using derogatory terms. Popular with women in their 20's, and frowned upon in their later years.

de gottin 02 Februarie 2006
A tattoo located directly above a girl's ass, signifies that she is a worthless slut.
Tara got a tramp stamp the other day, it's no suprise because she is indeed a whore who prefers to follow the herd.
de starkeX 11 Iulie 2006
Small tattoo on the lower back of a woman. Very trendy with girls 16 to 25. Originating from something Rob "Bastard" Vest said once.
Tara had a tramp stamp, figured her for an easy sorority chick.

Flowers and Vegetables Mix Beautifully
It may not be obvious from this photo, but among the many flowers in our front yard, we have strawberries, rhubarb, tomatoes, dill, parsley, and scarlet runner beans -- and it's a very small yard!
So, if you have little space, consider planting veggies in with your flowers. The foliage can be quite stunning mixed in with flowers. Even winter squash works well, if you plan the space carefully. This approach has the added advantage of confusing bugs.
I mix up the vegetable gardens in the same way, adding flowers in amongst the vegetables, mostly nasturtium and marigolds, but others as well. I grow the flowers from seed, saving the seed from year to year as needed, making it relatively inexpensive.
Besides, I love the feel of such gardens, with veggies, herbs, and flowers all mixed together. Something quite magical begins to happen. Something that touches the soul.

BEDFORD - With 80 years set to pass until he's eligible for parole, a convicted Everett child rapist will almost certainly die in prison for repeatedly assaulting two young Bedford County sisters.
Judge Travis Livengood imposed a hefty 80-to-195-year sentence Thursday against Kerry Smith, 51, who raped and fondled the sisters when they were 11 years old and younger.
"He should be punished for each and every act he committed against these children," District Attorney Bill Higgins said in a news release. In July, a Bedford County jury convicted Smith on 69 counts, including 10 rape charges and 30 indecent exposure charges.
Smith began molesting one of the girls when she was 7, state police said in an affidavit. He brought a laptop computer on baby-sitting visits, sitting her on his lap while he watched pornographic videos.
From there, police said, Smith moved on to more explicit sex acts, culminating in multiple rapes when the girl was 10 and 11 years old.
He then moved on to her younger sister, police said.
"Once she turned 10 or 11, she was too old for him, and he set his sights on a younger girl," Higgins said in a news release.
The younger sister told state police that Smith had tried to kiss her and force her to watch "disgusting movies" - attempts she apparently escaped more than once. At one point, the girl told police, Smith fondled her while she played with Barbie dolls in her room.
The girls' mother, who Higgins said frequently employed Smith as a baby-sitter, faced no charges as she likely wasn't aware of the abuse, he said.
Smith was officially labeled a sexually violent predator during his sentencing Thursday, a status that requires notification of school officials, neighbors and law enforcement officials should he be released from prison.
Defense attorney Thomas Crawford of Pittsburgh asked Bedford County Judge Travis Livengood for a five- to 10-year sentence, a stark contrast for Higgins' 100-to-200-year request.
Higgins hailed the sibling victims as heroes, noting that the older sister, now 18, brought the case to police when she realized her younger sister was suffering the same abuse she had dealt with nearly a decade earlier.
"I am extremely proud of these young girls," he said.

Donkey Cheese.
No, I didnt stutter. You read this right. It exists, its real and its considered a delicacy.
Depending on the market price itll run you about $600 a pound.
Pardon me while I quietly gag not at the $600 a pound price tag, but at the thought of sliding a slice of donkey cheese onto a Ritz cracker, cracking open an adult beverage and watching the ball game.
Heres another problem with donkey cheese. If you want some you have to talk to Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic. The ITF World Champion and the ATP World Tours top ranked player has cornered the market on the entire worlds supply of donkey cheese. Apparently there is one tiny farm that produces donkey cheese and its located in Serbia and Djokovic bought out the guys entire supply for next year.
According to an article I came across on Time magazines website, Djokovic bought out the worlds supply of cheese to ensure he could serve it up in his new chain of restaurants he plans to open in his native country.
I found this little news tidbit because I drank four glasses of sweet tea after 9 p.m. I wasnt going to sleep until sometime well after 5 a.m.
This stuff is called pule, though I have a similar sounding word to call it, and Djokovic spent millions in acquiring all this cheese. Not only is it the worlds most expensive cheese it is the most intensive to make, requiring 25 liters of donkey milk to produce one kilogram of pule. Thats a little more than two pounds of prized donkey cheese.
I didnt know donkeys gave milk. If I paid any attention during sophomore Biology I would know that a donkey is a mammal and all mammals produce milk.
Therefore, throwing a little philosophically based thinking into the mix, if all mammals give milk then can all mammals milk produce cheese? Apparently so. The donkey did.
I spent the night reading and found out that donkey milk has been around for a long time.
Hippocrates, the worlds first M.D., used donkeys milk to heal wounds and snakebites.
Neros wife would wash her face in it seven times a day. I bet that smelled nice on a hot summers day in ancient Rome. No wonder it burned.
Pre-20th century hospitals across Europe would keep a donkey or two on hand to provide milk for babies just in case the new mother couldnt. Who knew?
Apparently it is really good for you, extremely low in fat compared to cows milk, and is rich in the omega 3 and omega 6 acids found in oily fish.
I also found out that feta cheese comes from goat and sheeps milk thats the last time Ill be eating any of that.
So I took the rest of this sleepless night and took to reading. Apparently you can make cheese from the milk of any animal.
Horse cheese is another European delicacy. Apparently there isnt just reindeer cheese there is also reindeer ice cream.
If pigs werent so difficult to milk wed be eating pigs cheese, and Ill never buy anything under the Boars Head brand name again.
I feel like I just opened Pandoras Box and found out all the dark secrets of the universe. One of those dark secrets being donkey cheese.
Cleopatra used to bathe in it.
I bet no one told Elizabeth Taylor that.

For defense, midfield or offense, the Fort Lewis College men�s soccer program added a versatile player to the mix.
The first of a �handful� of recruits that FLC head coach Oige Kennedy plans to announce, Malik Badawi from Fresno, Calif., is the first player to be announced after national signing day Wednesday. Badawi�s signing was announced Thursday.
�Malik is a very exciting player that we have very high hopes for,� Kennedy said in a news release to The Durango Herald. �He can play in a number of positions and has distinguished himself in defense, midfield and as a forward. He will join the program with a very strong playing background.
�We feel Malik has all of the necessary skills to develop further with us here in Durango.�
Badawi, 6-3, 170 pounds, was a two-year starter for Bullard High School and played for the well-respected West Coast soccer club Cal Odyssey Development Academy.
�It�s important for our program to add academy players such as Malik to our squad,� said Kennedy, who�s guided perennial powerhouse FLC to Division II national championships in 2009 and 2011.
�They play at the highest level in the country and are tested week in, week out against quality opposition. They have to be able to combine high school and lots of travel for soccer, which is the ideal preparation for life as a college soccer player.�
FLC, which spent two weeks at No. 1 in the national rankings, is trying to rebound from a down year in which it went 9-8-2, 6-6-2 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference � its 16th consecutive winning season and 17th in a row in the RMAC Tournament.

Not sure of the truth of this but I have read in a couple of places that the news was delayed because DeKeyser asked permission to personally call the other teams who showed interest and let them know he was going with the Wings. Maybe not the prima donna move that some here were claiming (this is not directed at you Dom) and a very classy and respectable move instead.
Very good, if true. I had no problem waiting and think it's ridiculous that people make such a big deal out of the guy making a decision at his own damn pace, considering it's his own damn decision. Twitter is an interesting and important conceptual platform, but it has it's downsides too. People in general could always stand to be a little more patient and respectful ultimately.
