The times?? they are a changin
The results are in! Over the past month, hundreds of thousands of Monopoly fans worldwide voted for which new token should replace one of the iconic ones being retired after countless journeys past Go. After a hard-fought campaign, representatives revealed the newest game piece Wednesday morning on TODAY.
(Drum roll, please.)
Monopoly's newest token is…
The cat!
To rally players to show their support for their favorite tokens, Hasbro launched a Facebook app. While the results among the 250,000 votes on TODAY.com's live poll were close, the feline edged out its competition: the robot, diamond ring, helicopter and guitar.
It's sad news for some, as the sly cat will replace one of the game's venerable pieces, which has also been chosen by voters. The boot, iron and wheelbarrow were tied for last place until Tuesday night when the wheelbarrow and shoe hung on and the iron got the boot.
'I loved the iron': Watch anchors discuss the change
What do you think of the results? Are you excited to play with the cat token, or sad to see the iron go? Vote below:
Live Poll Q: What do you think of the Monopoly results? Welcome to the world of real estate, Mr. Cat!Say it ain't so! The iron's departure is a tragedy.

Future of Retail: World As Retail Experience
Mobile payment systems and product identification technologies are enabling users to interact with and purchase virtually any product they come across in the world, regardless of whether or not it is found in a traditional retail environment.
This post is part of a PSFK Consulting project aimed at providing insight into the Future of Retail. World As Retail Experience is one trend of ten that appears in our exploration of how technology and our senses play a role in the retail experience, both in and out of the store, from the perspective of brands, shoppers, retailers and communities.
Mobile payment systems and product identification technologies are enabling users to interact with and purchase virtually any product they come across in the world, regardless of whether or not it is found in a traditional retail environment. The ability of an individual to buy almost anything they see, shortens the path to purchase by transforming any encounter into an opportunity to make a sale.
- Now that the potential for a sale exists anywhere, retailers and brands will need to be smarter about crafting products and services that can serve as standalone experiences
- As more shoppers can access background information on their mobile devices. Brands will have to take the lead in how they tell the story about their product and service
- Retailers will need to find ways to lower the barriers to completing transactions, ensuring the process is easy and secure
- Retailers can augment their in-store experience by allowing shoppers to access tailored content on their mobile devices such as product information and limited-time promotions when visiting physical locations
Supporting Examples for World As Retail Experience
Immediate Product Research, Sampling and Buying
Mobile applications like Stripey Lines, ShopSavvy and Amazon use barcode-scanning or image recognition to enable users to quickly access information to research products, check pricing and availability and make purchases. Through these applications users are able to do things like scan the barcode of a music album, access it through iTunes and listen to a sample instantly.
App Transforms iPhone and iPad Into Credit Card Machine
Square is a new mobile payment system for the iPhone and iPad that enables people to check out from anywhere. A small, plastic card reader fits into the headphone jack, transferring the credit card's swipe data to the app or details can be entered manually without the need to swipe. After an employee enters the amount to charge, the customer confirms by simply entering their signature with their finger and then the receipt is sent to the customer's email address.
Store-Free Shopping Via Text
Subports is a retail shopping platform through which customers use text messages to purchase items. Merchants tag their products and distribute a designated short code, such that users who have their payment information tied to a Subports account can text the code in to instantly purchase merchandise.
Entire World As Display
Innovation group Frog Design has envisioned a concept scenario called ThingBook, in which a future where every object is connected to the internet plays a critical role in how we might eventually shop for products. With every visible thing connected as a data point, users will be able to instantly research information about items such as clothes they see others wearing in the streets using image recognition systems on their mobile devices and pay for them through mobile systems. This access will enable people to shop and buy from anywhere.
In-app Purchasing For Augmented Reality Content
Augmented reality technology enables digital information to appear on top of the physical world when viewed through the camera of a mobile device, creating a hybrid browsing experience anywhere. Layar is one such mobile app that recently added the ability to purchase exclusive information and content directly within the app. Content partners can now provide special paid content and information-rich layers that help users better navigate new locations, potentially opening the door for a future where users can preview and buy any product they see.
Mobile Coupons Offer Opportunity For Retailers to Reward Shoppers
Deal sites such as Coupon Sherpa and Cellfire already enable consumers to search for discounts from brands and access them on their mobile phones to be presented at checkout. In addition, as location-based social networks like Foursquare and Gowalla become more prominent, retailers will have the ability to target shoppers with promotions as they check in to store locations, providing limited time incentives to make purchases during their visits.

LOS ANGELES, CA – NOVEMBER 03: Kenjon Barner #24 of the Oregon Ducks runs away from Gerald Bowman #27 of the USC Trojans at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on November 3, 2012 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Robert Laberge/Getty Images)
VIDEO: LSU RB Derrius Guice squats 650 pounds
Derrius Guice may be the most underrated player in college football.
Playing in the shadow of Leonard Fournette, Guice posted an eye-popping 8.55 yards per carry (51 rushes for 436 yards) as a freshman in 2015, then kept his big-play ability as his usage increased while Fournette battled injuries in his final college season. Guice rushed 183 times for 1,387 yards and 15 touchdowns; his 7.58 yards per carry average was the most among Power 5 rushers with at least 180 carries.
So, yes, Guice is really good. He's also a physical freak.
LSU captured and tweeted video Friday of Guice squatting 650 pounds, more than three times his listed 212 pounds.
If — and this is a massive, Les Miles-firing if — LSU can consistently throw the ball in 2017, go ahead and make Guice your darkhorse Heisman contender in 2017.

Former Miami TE Jovani Haskins headed to West Virginia
Jovani Haskins announced two weeks ago he was leaving Miami for "somewhere else." That somewhere else proved to be a favorite destination of other Sunshine State transfers: West Virginia.
"WVU is my new home and I can't wait to perform in front of the fans of West Virginia!" he tweeted on Saturday.
A 3-star prospect out of Bergenfield, N.J.., Haskins was offered by West Virginia in the class of 2016 and most recruiting experts actually had him signing with the Mountaineers before a surprise commitment to Miami.
Haskins joins two former state of Florida players on WVU's roster: starting quarterback Will Grier (Florida) and former Miami quarterback Jack Allison (Miami). The Mountaineers also employed Florida State transfer Clint Trickett at quarterback and Miami transfer Antonio Crawford at cornerback.
Haskins redshirted in 2016 and will presumably sit out 2017 before gaining eligibility in '18. West Virginia could use the help immediately; the roster lists one scholarship tight end at present. WVU currently has two tight ends pledged for the 2018 class in addition to Haskins.
BYU wearing special patch in honor of LaVell Edwards
BYU got the summer media day fun started on Friday with their football media day. BYU tends to pull out all the stops on its media day with coach and player interviews, alumni returning, and a handful of announcements about the future of the program. In addition to news about their relationship with ESPN, BYU also announced the football team will be sporting a patch this season in honor of the late LaVell Edwards.
In addition to players wearing the patch on their jerseys, BYU coaches will also wear the patch on their sleeves.
Edwards passed away in December at the age of 86. The BYU coaching legend spent 29 seasons on the sidelines in Provo and accumulated 257 wins along the way. Among those was a national championship season in 1984, which remains the most recent national championship to be claimed by a program not currently in a power conference. Edwards took 22 BYU teams to a bowl game.
Now if we can just keep getting BYU to stick to that lighter shade of blue as their main home uniform, we'll be in great shape.
Former Vanderbilt football player Brandon Banks found guilty of rape
Former Vanderbilt football player Brandon Banks was convicted by a jury on Friday for rape of a female Vanderbilt student. Following 15 hours of jury deliberations, the verdict of guilty on one count of aggravated rape and one count of aggravated sexual battery was in.
"He's shocked but understands that this is only the first part of this process, there's a lot more to do from here on," Banks' lawyer, Mark Scruggs, said after the verdict. "We have some really good issues to raise."
Part of Banks' defense was built on succumbing to peer pressure, suggesting he feared he may be beaten up by teammates if he did not participate in the scandalous activity. The jury, having reviewed videos and photos from the incident, some of which were shot by Banks, determined that was not a viable defense.
"Making fun of another person is not right, but we know it happens," Assistant District Attorney Roger Moore said in closing arguments, according to the Associated Press. "But it doesn't give you a legal defense to commit a crime, particularly not an aggravated rape, an aggravated sexual battery. I mean if that's the case, then we'd have the 'football team defense."'
Banks will serve a minimum of 15 years in prison. One count of aggravated rape has a minimum sentence of 15 years.
Other former Vanderbilt players had previously been convicted for their roles in the 2013 rape. Cory Batey was found guilty of aggravated rape and sentenced to 15-25 years in prison in April 2016. Brandon Vandenbeurg was found guilty and sentenced to 17 years in prison.

Hi, I'm new and need some advice/recommendations
First of all I would just like to apologize for the length and the general amount of non-knowledge of this post, and I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to read all of it and help me out. I have fine (as in thickness) 3a, medium length and just need some general help/advice/ recommendations on what hair products/ routines I should be using. For starters I have type 3a hair, medium length, recently cut, and very fine thickness. I shower every night ( I don' t have time in the morning), comb my hair in the shower, towel dry by wrapping it up turban-style for a few minutes, and then air dry for a few hours (or less) before bed. Every morning I wake up to find hair that is beautifully curly/wavy with just enough tangles to know I slept on it. This prompts me to brush my hair, for which I use a cheap, plastic bristle brush, resulting in frizzed out hair with very little wave/curl. I would really like to be able to have the beautifully curly hair I get a few hours after I take a shower or when I first get up in the morning before brushing it. My major issues are that I'm a teenager, so I don't have access to anything other than what's available at the supermarket or drugstore, and that by the end of the day my hair gets greasy looking and stringy at the roots so I have to shower every night. If you have any advice or helpful suggestions that would be really awesome. And thank you sooooooo much for helping me out ,all advice will be gratefully read and put to use.
in fact it is really easy...
Don't brush your hair when it is dry...
I only comb my hair in the shower, as a lot of curlies do...
Brushing = frizz & breakage
Stop brushing your hair. I use to brush my hair everyday, then I would feel so frustrated because it would just become a poofy mess. People with curly hair often find that when they brush their hair it looks worse and they lose curl definition. I don't brush my hair anymore. I finger detangle when it's wet in the shower and covered in conditioner.
In the morning I usually don't have to do much. If its messy Ill scrunch in a little water. I usually don't get tangles, but If I have one I will gently pull it apart with my hands and maybe water. If its a problem you can mix conditioner and water in a spray bottle as a detangler. You can also sleep with a ponytail at the very top forward part of your head to help reduce frizz and tangles. Or a satin Bonet/pillow case to reduce tangles and frizz.
If you're happy with your products you don't really have to change them. It might be worth getting a sulfate free shampoo with coco betaine in it so its less drying to shampoo everyday. Also, the newbie stickie threads are useful. Normal towels can frizz hair, so some people dry with a t shift instead.
When you say your hair is fine do you mean that each hair strand is very thin/fine? If so, I have fine hair and my products are listed in my signature. :) a lot of people out their hair properties and products in their signature of you need ideas.
Thanks a bunch I'll definitely try that :toothy8:
also, do you know of any good drugstore daily shampoos and/or conditioners that I can try?

If you're wondering why you have the sniffles while you're driving, maybe the answer is right there on the dashboard. Ford is looking into incorporating medical alerts for issues such as allergies into its Sync in-car connectivity system.
The automaker is working with key health companies to bring medical monitoring into Ford vehicles. Examples:
It's an interesting idea, but it makes you wonder if it's really needed:
The brilliance of Ford's Sync system is that it works off the digital devices you bring into the car, like Blackberry or Apple iPhone. If you have a device that already monitors medical issues, it raises the question of whether it would mean much more to have the alerts popping up while you drive.
Right now, these apps are still in the development stage, but Ford is exploring ways to get them up and running soon. The Allergy App seems like a front-runner. Ford is also examining other long-term health and wellness technologies to monitor conditions such as heart rates, relaxation or stress while driving.
This all could be kind of fun, being able to watch your blood pressure rise when you hit a traffic jam on Interstate 5.

Obviously, the Republicans were so embarrassed by the disastrous administration of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney that these two men weren't even invited to the GOP convention.
Now, what these new Republican candidates are telling us in effect is: Yes, we really messed things up, nearly brought the country down, in fact, but President Barack Obama hasn't cleaned it all up quickly enough, so please put us back in office so we can really screw things up this time!
If Americans are foolish enough to put these clowns back in power, they deserve what they will most surely get.

Sponsored Content This post is about a book that we think will appeal to DailyJS readers.
David Turnbull sent me Your First Meteor Application, a highly focused, beginner-friendly introduction to Meteor. One thing that's cool about this is book is David updates it regularly when Meteor changes.

What do you do if you want to create reusable isomorphic CommonJS React components? You can install React with npm, but what's the ideal pattern for structuring these components? How should the CSS be managed?
Aaron Kaka has been working on an experiment to use CommonJS modules as a way of sharing UI components. The work is inspired by a blog post by Simon Smith, and you can find it on GitHub here: aaronkaka/commonjs-react-components.
This proof-of-concept uses events for all interactions, so knowledge of the internal library and its dependencies is not required. You can use styling through
require statements -- component specific styling is scoped to the component.
It uses webpack and live reload, so it should fit in with a modern Node-based toolchain.
Using CommonJS modules and events should appeal to Node programmers who want to make reusable client-side components. If you're a little lost with React in Node, or CommonJS and React, then this repository will give you a head start.
Interest in WebComponents is growing, but unless you're involved with them it can be hard to see the benefits. Leon Revill has been working with them, and has written an article that outlines the basics of how to create WebComponents and why they're exciting. From What are WebComponents and why are they important?:
Once WebComponents are properly supported and established you should be able to write a WebComponent that can be used in all of your projects regardless of the other technologies used. Forget writing plugins for jQuery, directives for AngularJS and addons for Ember.js. Write once use many. This has a huge benefit and in my mind is one of the most significant benefits of WebComponents.
The article includes technical examples and addresses some concerns about the divergence between X-Tag, Polymer and Bosonic.

"It meant a lot today to get that victory," said senior linebacker Brandon Magee afterwards. "Coming out that tunnel, man, I can't even describe it. I had, like, a stomach ache. It was a weird feeling, especially at the end of the game. But to hear the fans' appreciation that they have for the seniors here, and for the team, it really made my day. I'll remember it forever.
"Getting a win, coming off all of those losses, it felt great. Especially with it being senior day, you've got to go out the right way and we went out the right way." The Sun Devil offense set the tone for the game, jumping ahead early, quickly erasing any doubt that the Sun Devils' woes would continue any longer. After settling for a field goal on their first offensive possession of the afternoon despite being given favorable field position after a botched Washington State punt attempt, the Sun Devil offense came to life, lighting the Cougar defense up for 32 first half points, before cruising throughout the second half.
Taylor Kelly led the way, completing 20-23 passes, including all of his last 18 attempts (a school record), for 246 and four touchdowns. He effectively spread the ball around, as nine different Sun Devils had catches on the afternoon, including tight end Chris Coyle, who hauled in three receptions and two touchdowns.
"We had been focusing all week on coming out fast and speeding up the tempo a little bit," said Coyle. "It's something that we noticed in the past few games, that teams just can't keep up with it. There have been times where we sort of let down on our tempo in the past and that's when teams are able to hang with us, so we really wanted to emphasize that this game and I think that's how we were able to come out so fast.
"Emotions were really high because we wanted to have these seniors go out the right way with a win. That was one of the main reasons why we came out so fast."
Helping pace the ASU aerial attack on Saturday were fellow seniors Rashad Ross and Jamal Miles. Suiting up for his final game in front of the home crowd, Ross saved his best for last, leading the team with eight catches and 79 yards, to go along with two touchdowns of his own.
"That felt great to me because earlier on, we weren't really producing as receivers and today it seemed like we all clicked," he commented. "It wasn't just me catching balls; Jamal caught some balls, Chris caught some balls. We were all just feeding off each other's energy."
"Yeah, you know, Rashad was a playmaker for us today," said Kelly about his standout receiver. "He was beating his corner and getting open for me. He did a great job for us today."
As a whole, the Sun Devil offense looked more like the high-octane machine that overwhelmed its opponents during the season's first half. On Saturday, ASU amassed 561 on offense behind a balanced attack. Cameron Marshall paved the way on the ground, leading the team with 77 yards rushing.
Despite having two turnovers, the Sun Devils still were able to dominate offensively, moving the ball with ease, providing a little confidence to a unit that had been struggling recently as they prepare for the Friday's season finale in Tucson.
"Just getting our confidence back like we did today, we were really able to produce on the field," remarked Coyle. "I think one of the biggest parts of it was getting back to our run first offense. That really opened up the receivers. Just pounding the ball. The first couple of series we ran pretty much every single play. Once we were able to do that, it loosened up the secondary. Guys like Ross and Kevin Ozier were getting open. It was a perfect game plan for this game."
But the Sun Devil offense was only half the story on Saturday as the ASU defense thwarted any attempt by the visiting Cougars to extend the team's four game losing streak. Entering the game as the Pac-12's top passing offense, the Cougars' passing game was smothered by the ASU's defensive secondary, only totaling 240 yards through the air, nearly 130 less than they had been averaging.
"We had good coverage from our corners, first off," commented Magee. "Our safeties in the back, they gave us some good calls to our linebackers. They were calling a lot of what we had to do. And we played a lot of man to man, so that was a big job by them especially. And we got some pressure on the quarterback as well, when we needed to."
Washington State (2-9, 0-8) had been blanked in their last two trips to Tempe, losing by a combined score of 103-0, and was in serious jeopardy of suffering a similar fate. Under stifling defensive pressure from beginning to end, the Cougars were forced to settle for a late fourth quarter touchdown and only one yard rushing in the effort.
"The running game, honestly, we played a lot of nickel and a lot of rat coverage, which is off of the pass," said Magee. "So that means our defensive line did a great job of mixing it up and running some stunts and getting in there and being effective on the run."
Now, without the burden of a dreaded losing streak and the relief of being bowl eligible once again, the Sun Devils can turn their attention to preparing for their arch-rival, Arizona, this Friday in Tucson. Not only will it be the first showdown between head coaches Todd Graham and Rich Rodriguez, it'll be a chance at revenge for the Sun Devils after suffering a disappointing defeat to the Wildcats in last year's thriller in Tempe.
"It's extra special going over there," said Magee on the rivalry. "I like playing them better over there than over here, honestly, because the looks on their faces in 2010…priceless. Priceless. And people don't forget. And when they came over here last year and were dancing all up on our A and stuff like that, I don't forget that either."
For Magee, it'll be an opportunity to face former high school teammate and current Wildcat starting quarterback, Matt Scott. But despite their long-time friendship, Magee insists that he won't let that effect on the field on Friday night, as the chance to snare a final win on the road is all he's focused on.
"Completely out the window," said Magee of their friendship. "I'm not even going to say hi to the man. I'm going to pick him up off the floor.
"I'm ready for them. I'm amped up right now. You know, let's get going."

The asymptotics of the generalised Hermite–Bell polynomials
Item TypeJournal Article
MetadataShow full item record
The Hermite–Bell polynomials are defined by [formula missing] for n=0,1,2,… and integer r≥2 and generalise the classical Hermite polynomials corresponding to r=2. We obtain an asymptotic expansion for [formula missing] as n→∞ using the method of steepest descents. For a certain value of x, two saddle points coalesce and a uniform approximation in terms of Airy functions is given to cover this situation. An asymptotic approximation for the largest positive zeros of [formula missing] is derived as n→∞. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the accuracy of the various expansions.

Palmer is good but not elite n def not worth double digit millions..he's a Damn bandaid that's getting wrinkly n dirty we need to take it off n throw it away .TP6 is the heald scar for our team, yes alot of u wont agree with me n some will but TP has it n him I know he does one game he showed what he can do throwing two TD's n rushed for one .before that game we had two weeks with out one single touchdown n he comes in n gets 3 I mean its not rocket science,even Ray Charles could see that.we need to give him a chance we seen what he can do yes he needs some work it can be fixed this off season..what he needs to work on is his accuracy n timeing with his recivers n making smart choices in critical situations,something Palmer couldn't do he was looking like tony homo choking...Pryor can escape n extend the play or just run we know he has speed on him its obvious..so let's give him a chance to be our starter I mean we have nothing to loose seriously were rebuilding our team n if doesn't work n we have another crappy season then we can pick up a QB n next years draft..but let's c what happens this September ...RAIDERS!!!!!!!

Agreed Palmer is mostly a band aid. But you cannot argue that this past season, or this next season, the Raiders will win more games WITHOUT Palmer than with. You simply cannot argue that because it would not be true. Maybe in 2014 and onwards, Terrelle Pryor can really step up and become a franchise QB, but right now, he has nothing but potential. And throwing young QB's in before they are ready is never a good idea. Vince Young? David Carr? Sam Bradford? All talented guys who got too much too soon on their shoulders, and fell apart physically, mentally, or completely stopped developing.
Convert half of Palmers salary to a bonus, and it half's his cap figure. Problem f'ing solved.

Good idea Corran. I do think this may be Palmer's last year with us if Pryor shows to have a bright future here.
#7 Feb 18, 2013
I like Palmer for one more year but only if he redoes his contract. He is not worth 13MILLION he makes poor decisions and turns the ball over at critical times in the game. I believe He is one of the Raiders best leaders and gives them the best chance at winning next year but he has to come at a much lower price so they can sign a true number one reciever

#8 Feb 18, 2013
It's time now,T.Pryor has showed is promise this last pre-season& last game of year,so I say get him in there,never know defences still might struggle with read option&we strike a genie in a bottle next year..but realistically we will prolly be lucky to be around 8-8 so y not give Pryor a year to groom under fire...Palmer is Palmer period,been that way since cincy...

This is unwise. QB is and was the BEST position on our team in terms of talent and production last season(maybe outside of Fullback)
You all need to get off Palmer's back. He did a great job with a bad, bad team and worse playcalling.
QB is not this issue here.
Since: Jul 11
#10 Feb 19, 2013
Palmer is easily our best player....and he is paid as such.
I like TP's athleticism and ability to scramble--I've always loved QB's who could scramble. But until he learns to throw the ball, he is not a starter. His accuracy is horrible. I'm sure (I hope) he will improve with time. This year definitely isn't it. Maybe 2014????
If Reggie & Allen decide to throw it all in and start "rebuilding", then, yes, trade Palmer and Start TP and get him seasoned......but get used to a couple more years of 4-12 and 6-10.
IMO, getting rid of Palmer (for TP) would guarantee no playoffs for us until 2015 or (more realistically) 2016......unless TP makes HUGE strides in his accuracy.

The bounciness became even more sad in proportion to how much drink had gone into generating it that day. I often dined with him at the excellent restaurant of the Hotel Canterbury in Brussels. By the time we finished the main course he was usually engaged in conversation with some nouveau- riche couple or family at one of the adjacent tables; by the time coffee arrived, he was likely to be seated at their table, swanking at length about the sizeable fortune he had amassed through dealing in modern art.
So this distinguished member of the surrealist movement, that movement dedicated to subverting bourgeois and petit-bourgeois values, spent many of his evenings in the evening of his life trying to impress adherents to those values who probably didn't believe him anyway.
Mesens had always sought in one way or another to impress, but within limits imposed by surrealist principles. He had been one of the key organisers of London's great International Surrealist Exhibition in 1936, along with Herbert Read and Roland Penrose. In the course of time Read and Penrose both let the side down by accepting knighthoods; while it is safe to assume that Mesens would never have been offered an honour, it is even more certain that he would have turned any such offer down. During an exhibition at the Tate in 1969, there was a visit from a Belgian prince and his beautiful Italian wife, accompanied by Princess Margaret and Tony Snowdon. Those designated to take the royal party round were Jennie Lee, the Minister for the Arts, Arnold Goodman, the Chairman of the Arts Council, myself as curator of the exhibition, and Mesens, who had given indispensable help in realising it. Mesens declined: he was a republican.
The exhibition in question was the first museum retrospective in Britain of Magritte. Mesens's participation had been essential because he knew more than almost anyone about the artist and because he owned easily the biggest and finest collection anywhere, private or public, of the artist's work. In fact, Mesens's entire career was dominated by his multi-faceted relationship with Magritte, while Magritte's career was deeply dependant on Mesens's promotion of his art.
Their friendship began in Brussels in1920, when Magritte was a 21-year- old art student and Mesens a 16-year-old music student, both sons of small businessmen. Soon Mesens gave up music and started exercising a modest talent as a poet and critic and collagist and an exceptional talent as an editor and exhibition curator and art dealer. (Dealing in art, especially from home, was never considered within the movement to be an unworthy occupation for a surrealist; it was how both Breton and Eluard survived.)
Magritte and Mesens's first collaboration was in publishing two short- lived but interesting Dada reviews, but from 1927 on Mesens was involved in marketing his friend's work - initially as manager of one of the two galleries with which Magritte had a contract - and this, of course, ensured a fiercely ambivalent relationship. It lasted till death parted them and included a lot of infighting, conducted in public, which Mesens often cheekily managed to project as a struggle between Magritte's materialism and his own integrity as his friend's surrealist conscience. But despite intermittent ruptures, the relationship did endure; many of Magritte's friendships ended in permanent estrangement.
The key factor in the relationship was Mesens's absolute faith in Magritte's genius, a faith maintained in the face of powerful scepticism on all sides and ultimately rewarded by substantial wealth and still more by knowing that he had been right. It may be forgotten today, when Magritte is almost as popular as Monet, that he was not really accepted until the 1960s, not only in the world at large but even within the surrealist movement. Incredibly, it was only then that Breton first wrote about him. Magritte had migrated to Paris in 1927 in order to be near the surrealists, only to find that it was two years before they took him into the fold. Even then relations with them were uneasy and, shortly after the Wall Street crash of 1929 undermined the art market, Magritte, seeing no future for himself in Paris, retreated to Brussels.
The retreat itself was made practically possible by an act of faith from Mesens. Magritte had just produced for a one-man show in Paris a batch of pictures which in my view was the finest he ever produced in his life; it included the famous Nude in Five Parts and the Tate's marvellous The Annunciation. The exhibition was cancelled, the pictures were left on Magritte's hands, he hadn't any money to get himself and his wife and his chattels back to Brussels; Mesens, now an independent dealer, bought all the pictures for cash.
A couple of years later, the continuing Depression enforced the liquidation of the stocks of two Brussels dealers who between them held nearly 200 paintings by Magritte. It was felt that these would go for humiliating amounts if put into the saleroom along with stocks of other artists, so they were made available privately at knockdown prices and Mesens bought more than 150 at a probable average price of pounds 6 (about pounds 100 in terms of today's purchasing power in Belgium). Today, some of them are worth millions, but they took 20 years even to become saleable and a further 20 to become valuable. (Till almost the end of Magritte's life in 1967, collectors of modern pictures, and the experts they listened to, thought he was just an illustrator of amusing paradoxes and wheezes.)
Mesens was indefatigable in his efforts on Magritte's behalf, not least in the country of the artist's spiritual ancestor, Lewis Carroll. Once he had come here to hang the 1936 Surrealist Exhibition (setting an example, Penrose told me, of how to install a group show), he operated increasingly from London. He played a considerable part in Edward James's commissioning of Magritte to paint large pictures for his house in Wimpole Street. And having taken over, in partnership with Penrose, the London Gallery in Cork street, he soon gave Magritte an important one-man show. At the same time he was organising exhibitions of his work in Belgium and Holland.
The War shut down the London Gallery. Mesens had to do work of national importance. Following a brief recall to Brussels he was lucky enough or cunning enough to get a job in London with the BBC. He was thus able to preside over the meetings at the Barcelona Restaurant in Soho of the Surrealist Group in England. A naval rating stationed at Chatham, George Melly, who while at Stowe had become enamoured of surrealism, contacted the Group and was invited to one of those meetings. So began a friendship which Melly has commemorated in a vivid, delightful, touching book, Don't Tell Sybil: An Intimate Memoir of ELT Mesens (Heinemann, pounds 17.99).
There were many aspects to this long friendship. Mesens was a hero. Mesens and Sybil were a second pair of parents. Melly already had a highly satisfactory pair, but with the second lot there was no impediment to incest, with either party or both together. For a time Mesens become Melly's boss and as such was an impossible tyrant; some- how the friendship survived that. I suspect this was because one of its main ingredients was Melly's deeply maternal feeling towards his mentor: Mesens was a bawling, bullying baby, and Melly endured this with an inexhaustible forgiveness and acceptance.
The most interesting part of the book, indeed, is that which covers the years of his employment as an assistant at the London gallery from the time it was resurrected after the War till its final demise in 1950. His account is fascinating in two ways. It's a highly instructive chapter in the social history of British art and patronage. And it's an absorbing blow-by-blow description of an employee's "nightmare years" coping with an idle, pernickety, drunken oaf with a keen intelligence and winning ways who made uninhibited claims upon him as a loyal friend and sexual partner. All the same, it seems likely that Mesens was in order in his constant carping at Melly's cavalier ways, if this book is anything to go by. For Melly is quite outrageously careless in his treatment of the published sources that he uses.
After the War Mesens was little involved in marketing Magritte's current output. Magritte put himself into the hands - except when he cheated and sold pictures surreptitiously, having inscribed them falsely with old dates - of a Greek gallerist operating primarily in New York, an ex-ballet dancer with a lot of personal charm but little understanding of art. Mesens did, however, organise several important retrospectives and was also gradually selling off pieces from his own holdings. Magritte resented receiving no percentage of the profits.
When Magritte died, a year after Sybil, Mesens repeatedly proposed to his widow, she told me, but Melly reports that he also repeatedly proposed to two barmaids at Lord's Tavern, opposite his flat. Another sad habit, with Sybil gone, was will-rattling; indeed, he said more than once that he might leave a picture to me; doubtless he said this to many others. He played with the idea of dividing his entire fortune between George and his sister Andree Melly, or leaving it to a girlfriend called Ruth, or giving the art to a museum or museums. The problem was that he couldn't bear to face the thought of giving away, even posthumously, anything more substantial than a restaurant meal.
He did, however, summon up the courage to give away one picture while he was still alive, though only just. In 1948 he had promised Melly that he would give him a Magritte. In 1970 he fulfilled the obligation, with hesitations and complications that make a hilarious read. But even then he fulfilled it by handing over a rather indifferent piece. Melly, forgiving as ever, expresses gratitude for a "beautiful minor work"; I can only feel appalled that after all that time a man on his last legs could not present a faithful friend with a masterpiece, for he still owned a considerable number of truly great works by Magritte as well as several by other artists.
So his masterpieces were undiminished in his estate when he died intestate a year later. The estate was divided, as he knew it would be, between two cousins, a "nice cousin", a simple and good man whom he was friendly with, and a "nasty cousin" whom he deliberately hadn't seen for years. When this cousin was telephoned by a solicitor and informed that Mesens was dead, he said: "What's that got to do with me?"
The pity is that anyone who owns important works of art probably has a certain moral responsibility to members of the public who might get something out of having access to them. During his lifetime Mesens was a generous lender to worthwhile exhibitions because he recognised the spiritual value of his loans. Since he died, intestate, people wanting to borrow those same works for exhibitions have had to explain the need to people who seem to recognise primarily their financial value. The "nice cousin" tended to be helpful; his heirs have been somewhat less so. The other cousin has been among the least obliging of all important owners of Magrittes. I have found that when he lent a work it was on condition that I also borrowed an unwanted one. (Its value would be substantially increased by inclusion in a museum exhibition.) But above all some major works in his possession have been simply unavailable - so that for 25 years now some of Magritte's greatest pictures have not been released from their bank vaults. Mesens certainly found a wickedly warped way to avenge himself upon us.
David Sylvester is the editor of the Rene Magritte Catalogue Raisonne and author of a monograph, 'Magritte', and has curated three major retrospectives of the artist.

My two cents. Advice itself isn't right or wrong. It's someone's opinion, which would make it good or bad. I think in this case she gave bad advice. She really took the easy way out instead of providing a more detailed response. Although we don't know all the facts surrounding the situation, I think this girl should go on the cruise. Just because she is going on the cruise with her boyfriend, doesn't mean that they are going to play headboard hockey the whole time. The parents seem to show a lack of distrust if they feel otherwise.
Fortune favors the bold.

OMAHA, Neb. Ś Ashley Wagner was a wreck.
She hadnÆt found a random sparkle, one of her pre-competition superstitions. She couldnÆt find her mom in the crowd, another superstition. And then a song she absolutely hates began playing, and she was sure her entire U.S. Figure Skating Championships was about to go up in flames.
Not even close.
With an elegant, polished performance Thursday night, Wagner showed she has the makings of the steady star that American skating has been craving since Michelle Kwan hung up her skates. Wagner won the short program at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, her score of 67.57 points giving her a two-point lead going into SaturdayÆs free skate.
ōI did exactly what I came here and planned on doing,ö Wagner said. ōI skated solid. I felt I really owned every single jump, spin, element I had in the program.ö
Agnes Zawadzki was second, just ahead of 2008 U.S. champion Mirai Nagasu.
The U.S. women have been, quite frankly, a mess since Kwan stepped away. Six women have won the last seven titles, and no one since Kwan in 2005 has strung together two in a row. Nagasu, Rachael Flatt, Alissa Czisny Ś theyÆve all teased fans with their possibility only to fall apart on the worldÆs biggest stages.
But Wagner has come into her own since picking up, leaving her family and friends on the East Coast and moving to southern California in the summer of 2011 to train with John Nicks, best known as Sasha CohenÆs coach. Wagner has shown sheÆs got the psyche AND the skills to be a champion, and she isnÆt afraid of the spotlight.
Just like Kwan in her day, she embraces the expectations and then goes out and delivers.
ōShe fights well,ö Nicks said. ōThings donÆt always go well out there and you have to have someone whoÆs going to go out and fight.ö
Wearing a gorgeous burgundy dress with a dark underskirt, Wagner had the audience mesmerized from the time she stepped on the ice. No one would have had a clue she had all those negative thoughts racing through her head, so great was the command with which she skated. The arena fell completely silent, as if fans were afraid to speak or even breathe for fear they might miss something.
Though she didnÆt do a triple-triple combination like Zawadzki or Nagasu, all of her jumps were done with such high quality they seemed that much better. And her spins are, simply exquisite. They were so perfectly centered she may as well have been using a protractor.
When she finished, she gave a satisfied nod and small clap of her hands before breaking into a wide grin.
ōNationals is one of my favorite competitions,ö Wagner said. ō(But) coming in, I was definitely a little bit nervous. No one can really prepare you for how it feels to come in as the past yearÆs champion.ö
But Wagner wears the mantle well.
ōShe knew she had to go out there and do it, and she went out and did it,ö Nicks said. ōItÆs not always what you do, but how you do it.ö
Zawadzki, who won last yearÆs short program with a record U.S. score, was left to skate. But any chance she had of passing Wagner ended when she tumbled to the ice on her double axel.
Still, with the rest of her program packed with power, she had enough to move ahead of Nagasu. She really should have gotten clearance from an air traffic controller she had so much distance on her triple toe loop-triple toe loop combo, and her speed would impress any sprinter.
After last year, however, Nagasu is quite happy with where she is.
ōI feel like the little girl from ages ago who wanted to go to the Olympics and medal,ö Nagasu said. ōI feel like IÆve been trying to regain that memory. Sometimes itÆs hard, but itÆs been a great journey.ö
Nagasu is quite possibly the most talented skater the United States has. Her speed, the power with which she jumps, her ability to hear music and to bring a program to life Ś those are the qualities that make figure skating so magical, and Nagasu has them all.
Her psyche, however, has been a different story.
Since finishing fourth overall at the Vancouver Olympics and winning the short program at the world championships a month later, sheÆs been on a downward spiral. She bombed her free skate at those 2010 worlds and wound up seventh. She didnÆt make the world team the following year, dropping from first after the short program at nationals to third.
And last year was simply horrid. Nagasu was never even a factor at nationals and wound up seventh.
ōI did not have the greatest of seasons last year, so this has really been a comeback year,ö she said. ōWith each day of training, IÆm able to regain my confidence a little bit.ö
Nagasu parted ways with coach Frank Carroll, who has moved his training base from Los Angeles to Palm Springs, and now trains closer to home. She also has gone back to the things that worked when she was a phenom, choosing big band music for her short program.
Though she won the bronze medal at NHK Trophy, Nagasu arrived here with little, if any, fanfare. And with the pressure off, Nagasu reminded everyone of why there were such high expectations in the first place.
Her jumps were done with great speed and control, and she had one of the few clean triple-triple combinations of the night. Her spins were breathtaking for their intricacy and elegance, and even Gumby would be a little green(er) at her flexibility. But what really set her program apart was how seamless it was, one element flowing into another so that it was impossible to tell what was athletics and what was art.
The only flaw was the blank expression on her face; she didnÆt break into her trademark smile until the very end.
ōInstead of putting a lot of importance on placing and skating, where I place, weÆve been working to improve my skating and overall my look,ö Nagasu said. ōItÆs not just about the placements. So I donÆt feel as much pressure on that end, and hopefully we can just improve from here.ö
Earlier Thursday, Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir took a big step toward their first pairs title, easily winning the short program. With 62.27, theyÆve got a whopping nine-point lead on Felicia Zhang and Nathan Bartholomay going into SaturdayÆs free skate.

Help is here for victims of rape and sexual assault
18/10/2012 , 2:49 PM by Selina Green
One in five women in Australia will experience sexual assault at some time in their life - that means there's a good chance that someone you know and love will experience this. Statistics shows young women are most at risk, and in particular women in rural areas are among those who experience higher rates of sexual violence than the general community. It's why services like the New South Wales Rape Crisis Centre are so important. Karen Willis is the executive officer of the centre, which runs the national phone and online counselling service 1800 Respect. She's been visiting Mount Gambier to speak about the centre's services and the support it can give local organisations, and spoke with the ABC's Stan Thomson about rape, its impacts, and the help that is available....(Audio is in two parts)

|Spirit 6.5 "Etna"s Spirit"
|This is a North American Yacht Spirit 6.5 that I purchase on Craigslist for $1,200.00 advertised as a Catalina 22 that also came with a trailer.
The reason why I chosen to look for a Catalina 22, was because they still in production and threw Catalina Direct, you not any can find the parts, but also many upgrades.
Now here is the thing. Once I inspected the boat, I instantly felled in love with it. I on site research the Company who had build the boat and the history. I dont know if we sailors are different from any other person, but we kind of are more romantic and passionate than other. I read the history of this boat and imaged the enthusiasm and love the designer Hank Hinkley lay on this boat, and then the frustration of had to give it up due to miss advertisement on business technicalities. That just made me want to bring this dream back to life and try to enjoy some of the Spirit this great designer had back in those great old days in Sail boating evolution. For my surprise, I found that this design has many more advantages than the Catalina 22, so I was even happier with each of the discoveries, specially for the amount of room that this boat have to run all lines aft and huge space for an extra winch.
So this started as a project were my kid and I will share many memories and where he will learn more about Sailboat structure and mechanisms, but now it look like Im the one that will be enjoying it more bringing this boat back to life than him, to a point that I gave this boat my wife name Etnas Spirit.

Our annual boat washing service at Chatfield Reservoir starts the first week of October.
All of the boats have to be out of the water by the end of this month. We do the boat cleaning right at the marina as they pull their boats out of the water. This saves our client's time and their boats are clean before they go into storage for the winter.
We're the only company allowed to wash at the marina because we have procedures that are environmentally safe. We get a special permit from the Colorado State Parks Department.
We also have boats that are dropped off at our shop to be washed. This is easier for some of our clients because they can drop the boat off and pick it up whenever it fits their schedule.
Boat cleaning is a multi-step process. The first step is to use a pressure washer to get as much of the algae off as possible. A commercial pressure washer with at least 3000psi will do a much better job than one with lower pressure.
Then you apply the material to loosen the remaining algae. Using a pump up sprayer or a tank with a compressor makes the process faster.
Some spots along the water line might not come completely off, depending on where the boat has been. We have an extra step we can use to remove the remaining stains if necessary.
Boat cleaning is a dirty job and can take hours. You have to get under the boat to get the bottom clean. Wearing a wet suit and a mask to keep the material off your face is a good idea.
This video is just a short demonstration of boat washing to show what it takes to do the job. Having the right equipment and materials – and knowing how to use them correctly – makes it easier to do a better job with less time and effort.
If you need your boat cleaned or detailed, give us a call at 303-937-7181 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

As a drummer / piano player, I'm not qualified to rate guitarists, but the two songs I've heard from Leo are right up there with the greats. Great recommendati o n from Pandora.
he doesn't improvise as much as Howe does. Fabrizio's soloing sounds alot more... composed than Greg's does.
