When the Buddha Was an Elephant
32 Animal Wisdom Tales from the JatakaThe Buddhist Jataka tales are simple lessons in living with honesty, wisdom, and compassion that contain the power to transform the hearts and minds of those who hear them. They are stories of the Buddha's past lives—in such forms as a boar, a parrot, a monkey, or a peacock—that have enchanted children and adults for millennia. Their animal characters powerfully and sometimes humorously demonstrate the virtues and foibles… Read More

Buddhist Animal Wisdom StoriesAround the beginning of the common era, Indian Buddhists began to collect fables, or jataka tales, illuminating various human virtues and foibles—from kindness, cooperation, loyalty and self-discipline on the one hand to greed, pride, foolishness, and treachery on the other. Instead of populating these stories with people, they cast the animals of their immediate environment in the leading roles—which may have given the tales a universal appeal that helped them… Read More

DC Metro's Death Toll Rises
"'That could be an anomaly. It could just be an unusual streak,' said Karen M. Marshall, who is overseeing a nationwide study into suicides by train for the American Association of Suicidology in Washington."
"Other transit systems also are reporting more cases, Marshall said. It's too early to know if there are indeed more deaths or whether agencies are just paying more attention to the problem. 'It also could be clusters that are not related to the agencies at all,' Marshall said.
"Much remains unknown about what drives people to choose such a high-profile method of death, one that shakes up riders and traumatizes train operators."

I quite enjoyed last week's post about the designers behind the flowers, but soon realized only the ladies were featured. Today I'm back with some of the gentleman who create gorgeous floral designs!
The Designers behind the Flowers
Florabundance Inspirational Design Days, Day 2
On Day 2 of the conference there were two big design sessions. One session was led by Ian Prosser and it was to decorate two ceremony locations, one rustic and one elegant. The other session was led by Holly Chapple and it was to create a tablescape for the reception table.
We'll start with a look at the Ceremony session led by Ian. Ian broke the students into three groups. Group one worked on the garden canopy and group two worked on the aisle decoration for the 'elegant' ceremony site. The third group designed the chuppah for the 'rustic' ceremony.
The group designing the garden canopy decided on an ombre effect for their design. Aren't the garden roses and orchids just gorgeous??
The bouquet that Chuck and I designed complemented the 'elegant' ceremony site, the bouquet was comprised of orchids and jasmine vines. You can see a bit of the aisle decor in the background..
The 'rustic' ceremony was designed with bright colors; garden roses, tulips and clematis.
Holly led the students in designing the reception tablescape. This is how the table looked prior to the start design session:
This is how it looked with flowers!!
Truly a wonderful day, full of fun!
That evening we all gathered around that beautiful table to enjoy a lovely catered dinner.
Here is Joost thanking everyone for attending the conference. We say Thank YOU, Joost!
A HUGE Thank You to Tricia Fountaine & Dos Pueblos Ranch for all the hard work that you put into Florabundance Inspirational Design Days – what can I say?? You blew us away! Tricia, you are so fun to spend time with and thank you for letting us clip fresh jasmine off the property! Hugs!!

Florabundance Inspirational Design Days, Day 1
Florabundance welcomed 38 guests to the beautiful Dos Pueblos Ranch in Santa Barbara, California and treated everyone to two days of flower filled fabulousness for Florabundance Inspirational Design Days! Wow, was it ever absolutely fantastic!!
The Barn at Dos Pueblos Ranch was transformed from this:
The first day started with Holly Chapple leading a discussion and hands-on design portion about bridal bouquets.
The students were able to use as much gorgeous, fresh flowers as they could possibly desire!
After the bouquet design session, we listened to Ian Prosser talk about the flower business. Ian owns the company Botanica in Tampa, Florida. Brilliant designer and businessman!
That afternoon, Chuck & I got to present about Social Media and how to use it to build your floral design business. There was so much to go over, it's social media which means a never ending conversation. Back at the hotel later that night Chuck met with about 12 of the participants to further go over social media!
At some point on Monday Chuck & I decorated Evan ..
The day ended with cocktails on the beach, what a treat to be in beautiful Santa Barbara in January! Joost, the owner of Florabundance, and Katie Noonan welcoming the students with a glass of wine from the Tolosa Vineyard .. and that's the bridal bouquet that I created with garden roses and clematis!

New Federal Guidance on School Climate and Discipline Released
NAESP applauds the new guidance on school discipline that was released today by the U.S. Department of Education, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Justice. NAESP members provided input to the guidance, which will help states, districts, and schools develop practices and strategies to enhance school climate, and to ensure those policies and practices comply with federal law.
The guidance is meant to help schools administer discipline that does not discriminate on the basis of race. Research shows that "students of certain racial or ethnic groups tend to be disciplined more than their peers," and that African-American students without disabilities, for example, "are more than three times as likely as their white peers without disabilities to be expelled or suspended."
Principals are key in fostering healthy school climates, an essential element to boosting student academic success and closing achievement gaps. NAESP believes that districts must provide principals with targeted professional development in these areas.

Small businesses worried about the impact of the latest rate rise on their bottom line should not ditch their credit checking just to get a sale.
"We've found that customers are eager to write new business and sell products to new customers, but they are not doing the credit checks and the due diligence on their customers that they should," said Rob Lamers, chief executive officer of cash-flow finance specialists Oxford Funding.
Mr Lamers said he believed the reason behind the casual attitude was that small to medium-sized enterprises were too eager for sales after experiencing lower demand last year.
Lest SME owners and managers think the economy has picked up to the extent they can chance some of their customers not paying their bills, the latest bad debt claims might change their view.
The economy might be improving but SMEs are still under cash-flow pressures, with a higher than average number of debtors defaulting on payments to their suppliers due to insolvency.
National Credit Insurance (Brokers) says claims received in February 2010 against bad debts remain higher than the February average of 38 per cent for the past five years to 2009.
The only good news is that the 86 claims this February were less than last February's 130 claims and look a lot healthier than the record 200 claims received last September.
The small businesses hit hardest are those supplying sectors that bore the brunt of the impact of the global financial crisis and interest rate rises.
The gross debt for claims received this February was close to $1 million for SMEs in the building and hardware sector, more than $400,000 each for steel and timber suppliers and nearly $300,000 for electrical contractors. Air-conditioning installers came in at just over $200,000.
The other big losers were small businesses involved in advertising, which kissed goodbye to a total of $638,158 this February as companies cut marketing budgets.
Those figures might not appear large, especially compared with the big end of town, but they represent only a fraction of non-payers whose suppliers have taken out debtor insurance to cover the loss.
"Depending on which sector of the economy they operate in, it's increasingly important for businesses to keep a close watch on their customers' ability to pay," Mr Lamers said.
A director of accountants Hayes Knight, Greg Hayes, said interest rate increases on top of earlier increases will start to affect the cost structure of business. "If businesses are struggling, this will just make it that much harder," Mr Hayes said.
"The other effect [of higher rates] is the impact on consumer confidence and sentiment. We are already seeing some of the first-home buyers who entered the market over the last year starting to feel the pinch of higher interest rates.
"This will cause a contraction in their spending. So for a business that is struggling and also dealing with the consumer market, the rate rise will hit both their expenses and their top-line revenue."
February is traditionally the toughest cash-flow month of the year for many SMEs, so the news will cause jitters for affected businesses.
Accountants predict the flow-on effect of an increase in bad debts will result in a rise in the number of SMEs that fail over the next six months.
Those business failures will result from a combination of the decrease in federal government stimulus spending, higher interest rates, tighter bank lending criteria and the Australian Taxation Office toughening its stance on outstanding taxes after easing up during the financial crisis.
While Mr Lamers expects the Reserve Bank of Australia's latest increase in the official cash rate will keep inflation down, he said it would slow down SME growth as demand for their products and services eased.
If businesses were tempted to take more risk to boost their top line, Mr Lamers warned that "between losing a sale and not getting paid, you're better off not selling in the first place".

Ripoff Report
Corner Rock LtdCumbrian House, 217 Marsh Wall, London, E14 9FJ London, Other United Kingdom
Corner Rock Ltd / Global Net - http://www.globalnet.org.uk / Blue Ocean Outsource Ltd / Rainbow Mark Limited / Jinnel Patel / Misleading job posting - job was actually door to door sales. Worked 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, and never got paid. Full of empty promises and cult-like techniques to get you to work door to door for as long as possible. Beware this scam! London Other
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
If you're job searching, Entry level jobs for "Direct Marketing" and "Outsourced Marketing" companies are scams.
I got scammed into one - I worked for 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, and got into debt.
Here's the deal: you see a job ad on a recruitment site, promising £15k-£20k salary, no experience required, full training included, for a "Direct Marketing" or "Outsourced Marketing" company.
They ask you to wear comfy shoes for the second interview. That's because you'll be doing an unpaid day of theactual job.
Door to door sales.
I was associated with Corner Rock Ltd, Unit 8, Cumbrian House, 217 Marsh Wall, Poplar, London E14 9FJ. Also associated are companies Blue Ocean Outsource Ltd (which trades under the name Global Net) as well as Rainbow Mark Limited.
The company gets client money whenever we got someone signed on for a boiler replacement. There's also plenty of other services, products and charity direct debits that get sold door to door.
We get paid purely on commission, and have to pay for travel and all other expenses. Most get screwed over as part of your commission is kept forever in a 'Security Bond'. The carrot on a stick? Promise of a high salary in 6-12 months when you become a manager/owner. Except less than 1% make it that far, and even if you do, the 'business' you manage will most likely fail in the first year.
All these companies are affiliated with a DS-Max Company (Innovage, The Cobra Group, Cydcor, The Smart Circle etc). They 'train' people up to own a limited company that does the same thing; though these are really just sales offices. This means the puppeteers don't get blamed for anything these offices do, and since salesmen are 'self employed' there's no liability on that front either. Plus, these companies frequently change their names, making it difficult to uncover the bad press.
I found thousands of accounts all over the world of those who got sucked in using their cult-like techniques; designed to get as much free labour as possible out of you. So a heads up to all you job seekers out there. We have enough to worry about.
TLDR: An entry level job, with full training included, for a "Direct Marketing" or "Outsource Marketing" company - is a scam. It's door to door sales.

Allison ready to step up?
A recent snippet in the "whispers" section of Pro Football Weekly said: "The Vikings feel that WR Aundrae Allison can improve enough as a receiver to be another deep threat along with Bernard Berrian. Allison has caught the ball extremely well in organized training activities and appears to have improved following his rookie season."
Most of the offseason focus for improvement at wide receiver for the Vikings has been on the acquisition of Berrian and fellow second-year wideout Sidney Rice. Somewhat lost in the shuffle has been the potential Allison offers.
From all reports, Allison has indeed looked sharp and much-improved during OTAs and minicamp workouts at
It should be noted that Allison looked very sharp early in training camp last summer until a hamstring strain set him back about a week-and-a-half. For a rookie on the bubble for contributing right away, he wasn't able to regain his slot in the pecking order.
If Allison stays healthy throughout training camp this year, he could indeed be a darkhorse candidate to step up among the wide receiver corps. He's an extremely smooth athlete with soft hands and terrific quickness, acceleration and speed.
Sometimes you wonder if RB Adrian Peterson is just too good to be true. Not only is he an amazing talent on the field, but he's a gem off the field and in everything he says when he talks to the media.
WR Todd Lowber, who went to training camp with the Vikings last season and finished the season on the practice squad with the New York Giants, was released by the defending Super Bowl champs on Monday.
Here is at least one reason why at least 31 of 32 teams in the NFL could win it all this season, including the Vikings at No. 11, where the additions of DE Jared Allen, WR Bernard Berrian and S Madieu Williams make the Vikings a dangerous team — at least on paper.
Former Vikings owner Red McCombs never truly did fit in with the normally Democrat-leaning state of
No more excuses for Vikings coach Brad Childress, who must deliver in 2008, according to the RealFootball365.com story by John McMullen, who pits the path of the Vikings and Packers since a change at the helm in 2005. It's all fair-game criticism, except for the "savvy players like Brad Johnson, Marcus Robinson, Jermaine Wiggins and Dwight Smith have all been shown the door after questioning the coach's direction" reference – as none of the aforementioned are exactly the cornerstone of any franchise on the rise these days.
Key fantasy football question for the Vikings entering this season: Will their passing game yield any fantasy action? QB Tarvaris Jackson could be a viable sleeper, with WR Bernard Berrian a possible catch as a #2 or #3 receiver.
New safety Madieu Williams has won over teammates, according to this TSN report. He is a smart, athletic player whose ability to run with receivers will allow the team more flexibility in its game plans.
Ex-Viking S Greg Blue is predicting playoffs for his new team, the Detroit Lions, this season.
One former Vikings placekicker has replaced another former Vikings placekicker with the Arena Football League's Chicago Rush as Todd France has been signed to step in for Paul Edinger, who is out with a groin injury. Edinger handling placekicking chores for the Vikings in 2005.
Two players the Vikings could have had but didn't get were involved with DWI arrests this week. Panthers WR Dwayne Jarrett pleaded guilty to driving while impaired on Monday. Titans DE Jevon Kearse was pulled over at 4:22 a.m. on Sunday morning in
Did you know that noted African-American sociologist and longtime sports psychologist with the 49ers, Dr. Harry Edwards, once turned down a tryout with the Vikings to pursue his Master's degree at

Innovative mathematical research addresses the ever changing needs of society directly in the form of contract research, and it also contributes indirectly by supporting advanced research in a variety of other technical disciplines.
Apart from doing fundamental research at an international level, researchers in DIAM play an active role in applying research results to practical problems. Thus, there is an intensive cooperation with a number of research institutes (TNO, Deltares, NLR, MARIN, Shell, RIVM, KNMI) and with other faculties of TUD (CiTG, TNW, WbMt and TBM).
In addition several commercial software systems are made available to clients and colleagues in areas including forecasting water levels, inverse modeling, and risk analysis.
Mission statement
The mission of the DIAM is the mathematical modelling of physical, technical and societal phenomena using advanced mathematical techniques and methods in an applications driven manner.
Bachelor and Master programs
The Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Mathematics of TU Delft gives entrance to the MSc Programme without selection. The same applies to BSc degrees in (Applied) Mathematics from the other Dutch universities and to corresponding degrees from Imperial College London, ETH Zürich and RWTH Aachen.
The Master of Science programme in Applied Mathematics is meant for students having a Bachelors degree in Mathematics or in an area providing a sufficiently advanced background in mathematics.

Spanning the cinematic spectrum from light comedy to an edge-of-your-seat horror movie, Israeli films are taking center stage at the East Bay International Jewish Film Festival.
The 19th annual festival lineup will feature several acclaimed Israeli films from the drama "Bethlehem," Israel's nominee for this year's Oscars, to "Big Bad Wolves," a chilling horror flick that created buzz at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival and others.
In fact, of the 50 films to be shown at this year's festival, nearly half are from Israel. "We found the Israeli films some of the best films we are showing this year," festival director Riva Gambert said. Nine countries will be represented in all. The festival is presented by the Jewish Federation of the East Bay.
Screenings take place March 7-23 at the Century 16 in Pleasant Hill, Vine Cinema in Livermore and Orinda Theatre in Orinda.
Opening night March 8 in Pleasant Hill will feature two Israeli films, "The Wonders" and "Cupcakes."
"The Wonders," making its Bay Area debut, weaves the tale of a graffiti artist and a modern-day prophet held prisoner in a Jerusalem apartment.
"Cupcakes," described by Gambert as a "frothy cinematic treat," is a musical comedy about a group of friends in Tel Aviv who get together and write a song for a national competition.
Other movies making their Bay Area premiere include Israel's "Hunting Elephants," the haunting French-Israeli "Epilogue," "Wagner's Jews" and "Big Bad Wolves."
The latter is an intense Israeli thriller that looks at the lives of three men after a string of children's murders — the father of a victim, a police detective and the main suspect.
"It's not over the top and it's very restrained," Gambert said. "It's not a slasher movie and begs the question, 'What would you do in a similar situation?' "
Should you want lighter fare, the festival will not only screen comedies but three documentaries about comedy.
"There is always a challenge to get comedic films for adults, but the audience requests them, and this year we have them," Gambert said.
The three documentaries delve into the lives of Jewish entertainers Sid Caesar, Carl Reiner, Mort Sahl and others who made an impact on comedy, especially in the mid-20th century.
Baby boomers who remember seeing David Steinberg on Johnny Carson may want to check out "David Steinberg Has Quality Balls," which looks at his career from his standup days in the '60s to his most recent work on Showtime's "Inside Comedy."
Making its festival debut is "Short Bites," a group of features ranging from five to 15 minutes each, presented between morning and afternoon film screenings on March 10 and 11. The lunchtime offering came in response to audience requests for a longer mid-day break, but also accomodates hardcore movie-watchers.
Another first for the festival: the Century 16 venue, necessitated by the demolition last May of Pleasant Hill's iconic domed CinéArts. However, festival organizers are confident moviegoers will appreciate their new digs — where 33 screenings will take place.

By FITSNews || Having officially lost his political testicles thanks to the Maria Belen Chapur scandal last summer (ponder that irony for a moment), S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford is "walking humbly" with Palmetto State lawmakers this year in an attempt to pass a few scraps of his once-ambitious legislative agenda.
In other words, he's taking what the legislative branch is giving him, Shawshank-style.
The latest example of the governor's "Ben Dover-age?"
Sanford has decided to "single out and applaud" S.C. Speaker Bobby Harrell for his "persistence and commitment to restructuring."
What did Harrell do exactly?
Yeah … he gave Sanford the single most pointless (and powerless) piece of his government restructuring proposals, a bill that would allow S.C. voters to choose whether or not they continue to independently elect candidates to the utterly and completely inconsequential S.C. Secretary of State's office.
Woot-woot! Yay "government restructuring," right?
This isn't a victory for the taxpayers or good government advocates – in fact, it's not a victory at all. And Sanford's contention that this move will "go a long way toward increasing accountability across state government" is about as accurate as his "I was hiking the Appalachian Trail" comment.
For those of you who've forgotten, Sanford's original restructuring platform would have left only the office of Attorney General independently elected. Governors and Lt. Governors would have run on the same ticket while the State Treasurer, Superintendent of Education, Adjutant General, Agriculture Commissioner, Comptroller General and yes, the Secretary of State, would have been folded into the Governor's Cabinet.
Much more importantly, however (at least from the taxpayers' perspective), Sanford's original restructuring plan would have also consolidated the state's eight health care delivery agencies and scrapped the wasteful S.C. Budget and Control Board, a giant, five-headed monster of an administrative agency that is unique to our ass-backward state.
Of course, Sanford got none of that … which is why he's going to such lengths to take credit for this legislative backwash.
In fact, the cost of putting this ridiculous question on the statewide ballot means this latest experiment in "government by musical chairs" will probably end up being a net loss for S.C. taxpayers.

PITTSBURGH – The Panther baseball team (27-10, 7-3 Big East) downed Rutgers (18-17, 8-5 Big East), 14-5, in game one of a double header this afternoon at Cost Field.
Ethan Mildren (JR/Hopewood, Pa.) (7-2) earned the win after pitching 7.0 innings, allowing one earned run and striking out four. Rob Smorol (4-3) took the loss for Rutgers.
Rutgers scored first with a run in the top of the first but Pitt responded with a run of its own in the bottom of the fifth taking advantage of three Smorol walks including a walk to Eric Hess (SO/Erie, Pa.) which scored the run.
The Panthers added three runs in the bottom of the third inning. Casey Roche (JR/Downingtown, Pa.) started the rally with a one-out double down the line in left field. Steven Shelinsky Jr. (JR/Yardley, Pa.) then got hit by a pitch to put runners on first and second. Sam Parente (SR/Pittston, Pa.) came to the plate and brought home Roche with a single into right field. Head Coach Joe Jordano was aggressive on the base paths sending Parente and Shelinsky on a double steal to put runners on second and third for Elvin Soto (SO/New York, N.Y.) who delivered a clutch double up the middle to make the score 4-1.
The Scarlet Knights took advantage of a Pitt error in the top of the fourth to cut the lead to 4-2. RU had a chance to cut into the lead more in the top of the sixth with runners on first and second with one out but Mildren was able to get Steve Zavala to ground into a 6-4-3 double play to end the threat.
Pitt broke the game open in the bottom of the sixth inning putting up a seven spot. Hess got the rally started when he reached on an error. Evan Oswald (SR/Butler, Pa.) then ripped a single into left field. Dylan Wolsonovich (FR/Ford City, Pa.) and Roche walked back-to-back to bring the first run of the inning to the plate and chase Smorol from the game.
With Reed Shuttle now pitching, Shelinsky and Parente got hit on back-to-back pitches to bring in two more runs before Soto blasted a grand slam over the right field wall to push the score to 11-2.
A Shelinsky single into center brought in the bottom of the seventh brought home two more runs giving Pitt a 13-2 advantage.
Rutgers scored three runs in the top of the eighth but Pitt answered with a run in the home half of the innings as John Peluso (SR/Bethlehem, Pa.) singled home Soto to make the score 14-5 going into the ninth.
The Panthers and Scarlet Knights will be back in action shortly for the second game of the double header.

Post curing any urethane plastic will enhance the physical and performance properties of the plastic.
Procedure: flat castings and simple shapes can be post cured outside of mold if placed on a flat surface. 3-d or complicated shapes should be post cured in the rubber mold to prevent distortion.
Following the normal cure cycle for the plastic (consult product technical bulletin), casting can be exposed to mild heat 150°F / 60°C for 2 - 4 hrs. Allow to cool to room temperature before demolding.
Increased Heat Resistance - To give the casting higher heat resistance, cure for two hours at 150°F / 60°C, followed by two hours at 212°F / 100°C. Allow to cool to room temperature before demolding.
Epoxy Resins – Offer the advantage of higher physical and performance properties vs. urethane resins. Epoxy resins also offer higher heat resistance properties. Many epoxy resins require heat curing at a minimum of 212°F / 100°C. For maximum heat resistance, post curing at 300°F / 150°C is recommended. Consult product technical bulletin for complete directions.
Sources Of Heat – What Are Your Options?
An oven is best for applying uniform heating, but use with caution.. We recommend that you do not use your kitchen oven. Mold making and casting should never be done in the home and accidents can happen. For example, applying too much heat to some materials may result in dangerous fumes being emitted and/or a material may melt resulting in a ruined oven.

19x8.5 fronts
19x10 rears
I had these on for about 2 or 3 months and put under 1,000 miles. Bought these with the idea to widen the wheels at Wheels America but decided against the idea. This summer one rear wheel got a crack (no tire damage and even held air, noticed it when I took off). Sent in to see if could be repaired and was told Yes because it is before the safety point. This was by a 3rd party company that comes into BMW dealership and fixes wheels. Called Wheels America and was told similar answer. (approx $80-120 fix depending if you want rime recoated since no one will see on back side) Pics show the damage and link shows wheels and tires from when I bought and they look the same now minus the cracked one.
Bridgestone re-11 Tires: ($500)

Price is negotiable
What are the offsets of each set?
All fronts are et42.
All rears are et25.
Xmas special take all at reasonable offer won't be refused
Are at least two fronts and two rears in good condition and no need for repair?
I got four fronts in great shape with no need for repairs. I have one rear that is i great shape and one more rear that I can send to have it repaired for you at the right price.
600 shipped for 4 complete (2 front, 2 rear) wheels. Repaired.
So, what is the lowest you will go?
Sorry for the late reply.
Lowest I'll go is $500 shipped as is. I don't have time to send to repair due to work otherwise I'd work a deal with that too. If it must be repaired were looking at $700 shipped as I'll have to ship the wheel to WOA as I'm currently 2hrs away.
Is that a cracked spoke on the black ones?
PM or post more pics of the silver ones. $500 shipped correct?
Yes and yes.
Give me your number or email as I have more pics on my phone
Silver ones sold!
Matte black wheels and Tires still available! Taking offers.
Silver rims arrived. BOTH rear rims have a crack and you posted the worse one. The other has a crack through the lip on the inside as well (second picture below). Going to cost me an extra $100 to get the 2nd crack repaired, makes these rims not much of a 'deal' anymore.
One you pictured:
One I found on the other rear rim which wasn't mentioned. SOMEBODY knew about it already because it was already scuffed/sanded below the transition from the lip on the inside of the rim, just like the other one above:
Did not know about the other one. Had shop remove three tires and package rims. They didn't say anything about crack on other rim. I see what u mean about it being sanded down. Ill refund you $100 thru PayPal.

Indeed, it was the most successful installment (until 2012 when the 4th movie came out) and it was even the highest grossing movie in 2000. Of course, it has barely anything to do with Mission Impossible and it was basically a one-man-show by Tom Cruise but it d... read more

The Best Look For: The Oscars
Five outfits inspired by five films nominated at this year's Academy Awards.
It's safe to say that Oscar night is the biggest event of the year for film. If you plan to make your way down to the famed Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, California to get in on the action, here are five of the best styles, based on our favorite Best Picture nominees.
The Artist
"Magnificently filmed in black and white, shot at 22 frames per second and almost entirely silent, The Artist revisits the plot of the much-filmed Hollywood saga A Star Is Born, adds a dash or two of Singin' in the Rain and Sunset Boulevard, and charms and moves the hell out of us." – Stephen Rebello
If you're rooting for The Artist to win, you'll have to dress to impress in 1920's garb. In this era, men dressed according to their status wearing suit jackets, trousers and, when they were out of the office, athletic clothing. Wow the crowd with a classic one button tuxedo and a polished pair of hand detailed dress shoes.
Tuxedo: Dolce & Gabbana Black Wool Silk 1-button tuxedo with flat front pants ($1,676)
Shoes: Nero York Shoe ($890)
"Right from the jump, Moneyball gets you feeling—and pulling—for Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane. As played by Brad Pitt in a lived-in, rumpled, flat-out great performance, Beane is quite a character—an emotionally detached, tobacco-chewing, junk food-guzzling loner, a former golden boy gone to seed." – Stephen Rebello
If you're on the Moneyball team for this year's Best Picture, you're going to have to pull off an ensemble that will fit in with the old boys who hang out in the ball park all while keeping your attire formal enough for the most important night in Hollywood. Take a page out of Brad Pitt's stylebook and go for a relaxed, modern man look. We suggest pairing a cashmere blazer with a nice crisp white shirt. No need for a tie, you're going formal this year.
Blazer: Ralph Lauren ($1,890) White Shirt: Canali ($300)
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
"I found it truly compelling that Jonathan Safran Foer told this story not only from the perspective of a boy enduring unimaginable heartbreak, but a boy who has his own singular view of everything. It's a perspective that is engaging, inventive and emotionally rich." – Director Stephen Daldry
If you're a fan of Oskar's journey in the film Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, dress in your best formal modern day attire. Since the film is set in the bustling post-9/11 New York, a slim fit grey three piece suit coupled with a striped silk tie will have you feeling and looking like a true New Yorker.
Three Piece Suit: ASOS ($248)
Striped Tie: Gucci ($193)
"It's a simple, solid, heart-tugging story and what a joy. Gloriously directed by Scorsese in full fever-dream mode, the film has been shot — and thought-out — in majestic, best ever 3-D. From its first frames, Hugo is rapturously beautiful to look at, richly imaginative, constantly inventive and deeply and mysteriously emotional." – Stephen Rebello
This adventure flick may be full of imaginative and colorful plot twists, but the reality of Hugo's life is grim; he lives in the wall of a train station in 1930's Paris. If you're young at heart and hoping for the 3D Scorsese film to sweep the board at this year's Oscars, fashion yourself in a slim fit tweet suit and accessorize with a colorful pocket square.
Tweed Suit: ASOS ($216)
Pocket Square: Drake ($85)
Midnight in Paris
"Beautifully photographed by Darius Khondji, Midnight in Paris, a fable that delivers pure pleasure, speaks not only to Allen's longstanding love affair with Paris but also to the pointless but irresistible allure of nostalgia." – Stephen Rebello
With one foot in the 21st century and the other in the 1920's, you can go either way with your attire on Oscar night. We suggest going for a classic three piece jacquard satin suit and a black bow-tie. You can never go wrong with this timeless outfit!
Three Piece Suit: Dolce and Gabbana ($1,845)
Bow-tie: Gucci ($172)

There are many churches in the Birmingham area who do not have organists and who are looking for talented young people with knowledge of organ playing.
Tuition: $450 for 30-minute private lesson weekly per 15-week term. $570 for 45-minute private lesson weekly per 15-week term.
Students ages 10 and older may enroll in private voice lessons. The primary goal of voice lessons is the development of a basic vocal technique that will serve the student well in any singing situation. This basic study includes correct posture, breathing, vowel placement, and consonant articulation. This technique is developed through the study of styles of music. Students may also receive valuable guidance for performance in school, church, and pageant events.
Voice lessons are offered on the BSC campus and at the Hoover campus.
- $450.00 for a 30 minute private lesson weekly per 15-week term
- $570.00 for a 45 minute private lesson weekly per 15-week term
Band Instruments
The Conservatory offers private lessons in woodwinds, brass and percussion instruments. Many elementary, junior high, and high school students find their experience in band is enriched by private study in their instrument. Adults may wish to brush up on an instrument they learned in youth or take lessons because they wish to learn to play an instrument.
Tuition: $450.00 for 30-minute private lesson weekly per 15-week term

text: Hey new here and wondering if I could get the opinion of some of you "experts" on here. So I made a kinda (debateably) stupid move and bought a 2000 Silverado 4.8L 4X4 Regular Cab with 300,000 KM (186,500 Miles). Two weeks later the transmission is completely shot. So I call around trying to come up with a used one to swap out and I come across a guy who has a 2002 Silverado 5.3L 4x4 Extended Cab with 260,000 KM (162,500 MI). He runs a small wrecking yard and bought the truck from someone who thought the engine was done. turns out the engine is perfectly fine as is the tranny. It was the catalytic converter. He has since removed the front seat, I think only driver's side, and the brackets, etc. He offered to swap trucks with me since all he wants is a truck to strip parts from. I can take the seat out of it before i trade it and use it in his. So my question is...what do you think? Good deal? or is there something I'm missing? I know this may sound a bit fishy to you city folk but out here in rural areas this kind of thing is not uncommon.

CMS said the effective date for any participation status change during the extension, however, remains Jan. 1 and will be enforced for the entire year. According to CMS, contractors will accept and process any participation elections or withdrawals that are postmarked on or before Feb. 14.
As of this writing, TMA had not calculated a Medicare fee schedule for 2012. This is because the bill that delayed the Medicare payment cut also extended the work geographic price cost indices (GPCIs) floor through February. CMS will have to calculate new geographic adjustors before TMA can calculate the new fee schedule. The new fees will be calculated with the new relative value unit (RVU) file that is available on the CMS website but using the 2011 conversion factor and the new, as yet uncalculated, geographic adjustors. TMA staff experts say that in most cases, the new, temporary fees will be close to, but not the same as, the 2011 fees.
Physicians who are Medicare participating providers can submit claims using their standard charge, and Medicare carriers will be able to pay claims properly as soon as they have appropriate instructions from CMS. Submitting claims using 2011 Medicare allowables or estimated allowables could result in underpayment, as it did in 2011.

A man and his dog probably saved the life of a woman who was trapped in the Matarawa Stream yesterday, possibly for hours.
Arlin Puna had just set out for a morning walk with his dog Bess through Kowhai Park.
Bess ran about 50 metres ahead, then veered off down the bank to the stream.
Mr Puna caught up with the dog and looked over the bank, to hear what he thought was a child's voice calling "help me".
He discovered a woman stuck in mud and obscured by bamboo plants. Bess was at the stream's edge looking at her.
"All I could think was, how did she get in there?" Mr Puna told the Wanganui Chronicle.
"The current was sort of forcing her in there, she couldn't move. I just told her 'I'll run across the road to ring the police and ambulance'."
He went to get help before another man returned with him and waded into the stream to help the woman.
Mr Puna said it was lucky Bess had noticed her because he had seen people walk past the spot, unaware she was there.
She appeared weak and wasn't able to say much, he said.
Police, ambulance and fire officers arrived at the scene opposite Nile St about 9.45am and the 69-year-old woman was pulled out and taken to Wanganui Hospital.
Constable Trevor Scarrow of Whanganui Police said the woman had been out of sight and it was incredibly lucky she had been heard.
"From my observation, she was probably in the early stages of hypothermia," Mr Scarrow said.
The woman had been disorientated so it was not clear how she came to be down the bank.
Mr Scarrow believed she could have been there for a couple of hours.
He praised Mr Puna's swift action in getting help for the woman. She was in a stable condition in Wanganui Hospital.

This event was waiting for a long time and finally waited! Extremely cool and insanely atmospheric quest-simulator appeared for your androids, we meet!
New online battles, which are pretty much reminiscent of the acclaimed project Agar.io, they are created in the same arena, whose name is "io", so you know what you can expect from them;)
The developers decided to mix the quest and the puzzle, in the end this wonderful game turned out, which will offer you to go on an unforgettable journey through the ancient castles;)
The game in which you need not only to show a very good reaction speed, but also to learn how to respond quickly to tasks that form the whole meaning of the game process.
A fresh casual jumper in which you need a good reaction and patience, because you will have to lose often, which means you have to start again and again!
More than the original novelty, which will offer us to force a wide variety of obstacles on an unusual bike that resembles a hybrid of a tank and a plumbing ....
Finally there was not just another text quest, namely a worthy project, which is ready to make a healthy competition in the genre of the Lifeline series!
A new game that does not require you to have some unique skills and other similar abilities, everything is quite simple, clear and even very casual in places;)
Fresh online action, the main role in which is allocated to cars and destruction, what could be better? So, if this is what you so lacked - drove, you are already waiting for!
Simple, yet fascinating motorcycle races that will guide you through thousands of kilometers of straight roads with traffic to finally get to the finish of this journey!

The San Diego Chargers were another NFL club which was disappointed with their 2012 season and head coach Norv Turner and general manager A.J. Smith paid the price for their 7-9 record as they were both fired on Dec. 31. As is the custom, the franchise thanked both men for their efforts over the years as Dean Spanos, the Chargers' president, said they brought integrity and determination to the club, but winning is the bottom line and they understand that's why a change needs to be made. Spanos said the team has just one goal and that's to become Super Bowl champions and he'll make whatever changes are necessary to achieve it. It was San Diego's first sub-500 season since back in 2003 and the first for Turner, who joined the club in 2007. The team made the payoffs for three straight years under Turner, but has now missed them in the last three. He leaves the franchise with an overall coaching record of 56-40 in regular season play. His overall NFL record is 114-122-1. Smith joined th...

Pillager couple finding new normal after medical scare
PILLAGER — February 10 is a day Terry Dolan will never forget. It's the day he almost lost the love of his life.
He was awakened at 4:30 a.m. by his wife of 15 years, Patti, nudging the end of the bed. She didn't say a word, just prodded him enough to wake up and turn on the light. That's when he knew something was terribly wrong.
"When I saw her eyes I knew she was in trouble," he said. "She was looking at me like a deer caught in the headlights. Totally unresponsive."
Not knowing what was wrong, but sensing the seriousness of the situation, he quickly picked her up, brought her to the car and raced from their rural Pillager home to Brainerd's Essentia Health St. Joseph's Medical Center. He later learned his quick actions might have been what saved Patti's life.
A CT scan showed bleeding on half of Patti's brain. An ER doctor prepared Terry for the worst, saying she likely had an aneurysm or tumor explosion, both extremely serious conditions. Before he knew it, Terry was back on the road, headed to St. Cloud Hospital where Patti was being transferred via helicopter.
"Once I got to St. Cloud I really thought they were going to tell me either she didn't survive the flight or that machines were the only thing keeping her alive," Terry said.
But that wasn't the case. In St. Cloud, a more detailed MRI scan revealed Patti didn't suffer an aneurism or a tumor. She had a ruptured cerebral AVM, or arterial vascular malformation, which means the blood vessels in her brain were malformed, a condition she was born with but didn't know about. Forty-one years later, on the morning of Feb. 10, those vessels burst.
Along with the new diagnosis came another helicopter ride for Patti. She was transferred to St. Joseph's Hospital in St. Paul, which happens to have a nationally renowned brain trauma center.
The whirlwind continued.
"From 4:30 Friday morning to 3 o'clock that afternoon, Patti had five CT scans, an MRI, two helicopter transfers, major brain surgery and artery reconstruction," Terry said. "All that in 10 and a half hours.
"All I could do was pray. I prayed and prayed and prayed. I remember sitting in the hospital waiting room in St. Paul and just staring at the wall. I couldn't even think of anything. I couldn't do anything. My mind was just blank. All I could do was pray."
For the next 19 days, Patti remained in the ICU at St. Joseph's in St. Paul, in a chemically induced coma much of that time. The left side of her brain was affected by the AVM, meaning the right side of her body was immobile and her speech was also greatly affected.
Once Patti was considered stable and was off all of her pain medications, she was transferred to Bethesda Hospital, only a couple blocks away from St. Joseph's in St. Paul.
Patti was at Bethesda, a long-term acute care hospital, a total of 38 days. It was there that she learned to breathe and eventually eat on her own.
Her first food? Applesauce.
"I loved it," Patti said.
After more than a month of intense occupational, physical and speech therapy, Patti learned to move her right hand, arm and leg, eventually walking again and even saying a few words. Her therapy continued a little closer to home after being transferred to Country Manor, a rapid recovery and aquatic center in Sartell.
On day 79 of her ordeal, Patti came home.
She continues wowing her therapists four days a week by her constant improvements.
"There isn't anything she can't do," Terry said. "Every day is better than the last."
While Patti said speech continues to be her toughest obstacle, since moving home she's been able to cook and enjoys doing laundry and perusing Facebook and Pintrest.
Life for the Dolans is different than it ever used to be — Patti worked four days a week cleaning homes for her business, Custom Maid Home Cleaning, while Terry worked nearly 80 hours a week in the summer as event service manager at Madden's Resort and spent hockey season coaching the Squirt B team for the last 14 years.
"My priorities in life are way different now," Terry said. "I'm lucky. I get a second chance. I almost didn't. Through all of this I learned to take time and be around the ones I love because they're what matters most."
Family and friends of Terry and Patti are hosting a benefit from 5-9 p.m. June 1 at Lakewood Evangelical Free Church in Baxter to help pay for Patti's ongoing medical expenses. There will be a sloppy joe dinner, a silent auction, a live auction and a raffle with many prizes, including a kayak, a smoker grill and other items donated by local people and businesses.
"'Thank you' almost isn't enough. But thank you for everyone who has been here for us through all of this," Terry said. "Our feelings toward everyone who has supported us is beyond thank-yous."
HEIDI LAKE is the niece of Patti and Terry Dolan.

Soft tissue dermal fillers are an effective way to enhance lips, lift furrows and grooves, smooth lines around the mouth and restore a youthful resilience to your skin. This safe, non-allergenic treatment provides immediate, natural-looking results. At Skinworks, we offer hyaluronic fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm as well as Sculptra; an injectable material known as poly-L-lactic acid that naturally stimulates the body to produce its own collagen. As an expert in the field, Dr. Jang can recommend the appropriate dermal filler for you. You may be an ideal candidate for facial soft tissue fillers if you are feeling self-conscious about folds and wrinkles on the face and wish to feel more confident about the overall appearance of your skin.
Click here to see photo gallery
Restylane and Juvederm
How they work
Restylane is made of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the human body. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane is a clear gel called NASHA™ or Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid. NASHA is completely biocompatible with human hyaluronic acid.
Juvéderm is a smooth consistency gel also made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Juvéderm injectable gel is eased under the skin to provide a smooth, natural look and feel. In fact, studies show superior results of Juvéderm compared to a collagen-based soft tissue filler.
Normal activities can be resumed the day following treatment. Minor swelling and bruising may remain with some patients for a few days.
With Restylane and Juvéderm, the difference in appearance is immediately evident. Lips are fuller, acne scars are reduced and smile lines and wrinkles are less evident. Depending on your skin, lifestyle and age, you may choose to have a touch-up treatment within a year. As the face ages further, the skin will continue to change. Untreated and treated wrinkles may naturally deepen, requiring some additional injections over the years.
How it Works
Derived from fruity acids, Sculptra is a soft-tissue filler made from poly-L-lactic acid which naturally stimulates the body to produce its own collagen. By stimulating your own natural tissue production, Sculptra provides more scaffolding to improve the skin's structural support. Commonly referred to as a "facelift in a bottle", Sculptra is a unique, nonsurgical option that offers a gradual, long-lasting way to rejuvenate the skin with results that can last two years or longer.
Preparation and Treatment
Because Sculptra is a synthetic biodegradable polymer that is absorbable and biocompatible, no skin pretesting is required. The number of treatment sessions required will depend on various factors such as age, amount of volume loss and the area(s) to be treated.
You may experience mild soreness, swelling, and/or minor bruising in the treatment areas for a few hours up to a few days after your Sculptra procedure. Makeup can be applied within a few hours of treatment. Following your treatment, massaging of treated areas is necessary to allow for the even distribution of the product and to promote natural-appearing results.
This minimally-invasive procedure creates a more youthful and oval face within two treatments and can last 2 years or longer. As the production of new collagen formation is gradual, additional treatments will yield more noticeable results. Generally, Sculptra is injected in 3 to 4 treatment sessions at 4 to 6 week intervals over the period of a few months. When injected into the appropriate areas, Sculptra can help improve fine lines, fill in hollowed areas of the cheeks, strengthen jaw lines and restore an attractive oval silhouette to the face.
Why get your Sculptra treatment at Skinworks?
Dr. Jang is very excited to be offering this latest medical breakthrough to her patients at Skinworks. Because achieving ideal results with Sculptra requires a high level of skill and artistry, Dr. Jang has undergone extensive training by internationally-renowned Sculptra experts from both LA and Europe. Almost all types of faces can benefit from Sculptra, and Dr. Jang knows precisely where to inject to maximize benefits and achieve desirable results. Sculptra can also be used successfully with Restylane, Juvederm and Botox – treatments available at Skinworks.

Rodents and all kinds of mischievous creatures.
I'm often reminded of the Christmas Vacation movie and the "Chevy Chase" aka Clark Griswold's Aunt's cat chewed the Christmas light strand one and the squirrel in the Christmas Tree stills gets me laughing. But in reality it's no laughing matter, each year hundreds if not thousands of homes catch fire because of critters chewing or gnawing on the wires. Two fires cause minimal damage over the weekend – these were in Florida.

Before I begin, please keep in mind the person writing this is not as a high level technology expert trumpeting the latest, greatest and most awesome. Rather it is written by a practical, technology using, middle aged mother of six.
A business owner that is always looking for the freasy, (the free and easy). It is written by someone with significant experience researching, talking to and working with a multitude of people in a multitude of industries.
To introduce the topic of mobility when I speak at conferences, I ask this question. 'The world changed in 2007, what happened?'
Someone in the audience will always get it right. The iPhone of course is the answer. I believe that year is significant because it heralded the true beginning of mobility and the willingness of people to accept 'Cloud' services. Remember SaaS? It was a concept before it's time and didn't catch on. It was the old name for the Cloud - Software as a Service.
One of the individuals that got the correct answer was Des Crossley of Mouldem. His company does the graphics that go on rotationally moulded products. I'd like to share with you how Des runs Mouldem.
Mouldem is run as two businesses. Manufacturing in New Plymouth New Zealand, the other a small factory is Victoria Australia based. Both of 'his' offices are in his hand.
A tiny staff of four oversees the operations. Des covers NZ and International operation, his wife Tracey Australia. Two other staff members work in admin, overseeing the factory and problem solving.
Des believes in empowering. The two staff members have been schooled to run the business as if it were their own.
What makes Mouldem different is that almost every facet of his business is as I mentioned, in hand. No matter where Des is, he has immediate access to everything. All processes and systems are web-based from telecommunications to invoicing to quoting to payroll to financials. In other words he never has to wait for an emailed or phoned in answer.
Let's look at how they use their telecommunications in example.
Des is based in Australia with a good business plan on his smartphone. Plenty of bandwidth. Domestic business calls are made using the plentiful minutes provided. Outgoing long distance calls are made on his phone with Skype (VoIP - voice over internet). He has bought phone numbers from Skype so incoming calls from his Skype account are forwarded to his smartphone (when he is not online). Again this allows him to always be available to his customers, inexpensively.
Another example is how they have turned invoicing on its head, making their customers responsible for knowing when to pay and doing so. They hated producing end of month statements, stuffing envelopes and the chore of it.
So they decided to use the software FreshBooks. Mouldem's customers log into his system and manage/pay their own account. The software allows Des's team to see if a customer has viewed their online account and made payment. If not, it sends an invoice.
Using online technology isn't new to you or me. But when you take advantage of mobility; when you re-engineer your business processes around the ease, flexibility and technology this is what you gain:
• You put your office in your hand
• Freedom of movement
• Instant accessibility - all locations
• Lower fixed asset costs
• Lower operational costs - less staff, consumables, time
• Immediate customer service
Next week: the risks and rewards of running your own business
