Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
My name is Camille and I am the Moderator for this topic. Jean is not available right now, but I have sent her a message to follow up with you here, when she comes back online. If I can help further, please let me know. Thank you for your continued patience!
Jean - are you there? I am online now.
Hey, ok, me too.
Hey Jean. Are you by any chance still online?
Jean - if I miss you, I am just looking for two things. Well, three things.
First, I cannot find the transcript of our chat earlier? Normally before they were always here. I was going to go back and review what you said.
Second, to finish, so what I have to do is put him totally out of my mind and just put it behind me? That is so incredibly hard. Because I will always occasionally be stumbling over something in my email box or whatever, and be reminded of how close we were...but it is like he is a completely different person now, and I am not...so I am not really sure how to do this.
Third, he loaned me $400 when I really really needed it a few months ago. he said at the time he was completely broke but would be glad to do it to help me. Even then we talked like normal humans, but now he makes me feel like I am stalking him. Seriously, how can this be after everything we went through together? He was the one who always said that he wanted to stay friends. It just sucks.
Maybe I should have said four things. I wonder where you can get one of those flashy things from Men in Black that would erase my memory? I just cannot believe he would still be so much on my heart and in my head so much later...even after I have been to the mental hospital, even after I have (subsequently) dated some other guys...why, why, why???
I just wonder if there is any possibility that he will ever drift back. I don't feel like I am hanging on to anything right now...more that I am mourning and still grasping for explanations. But I wonder if it is at all possible that sometime in the future he will be back?
Have I been stalkery to him? I haven't, have I?
And do you think he misses me? I mean, how could he not? He would be heartless.
I have to tell you, I have sort of an unfortunate role model in my mother. She met my dad when he was married. She did not know he was married until his wife at the time started writing her threatening letters. I am condensing greatly here, but basically, she called and dropped him like he was hot, even though she was completely in love with him. About four years later, she happened to be in the town where she'd met him, and just out of curiousity, she called his business, where he had worked when they first met. By this time, he was divorced. They dated for several years and when they got engaged, he sent her a single red rose every day (including Sundays) between the time they got engaged and the time they got married. So maybe I have false hope that these things can work out. And maybe the bar has been set really high for what I am looking for.
Mom says in the intervening years, she never stopped loving my dad, but that she went on with her life, dated other people, etc. Everyone keeps telling me to get on with my life. I am not even sure what that means.
In any event, if you have time to answer my questions above and just lmk your opinion on stuff, I would really appreciate it.

What I do
I picture the world. Or rather: picture multiple worlds. It is a rhythm of perception, understanding and communication.
What fascinates me most about drawing is the feedback loop between mind, hand, image and eyes. Drawing becomes an extended form of thinking. This thinking process takes place between me and a sheet of paper.
To draw what one has seen or understood is a process of clarification: You choose something that seems relevant to you and solidify it in a picture. Learning to draw means to learn a new language: your own.
Programming is basically the design of rules. Within those rules a multitude of processes can occur. When you program you don't think in a linear storyline but in frameworks that can generate storylines. The most important thing I have learned from programming is to think and interpret the world in systems.
One can create systems that generate images. Compared to the direct and intuitive movement of a pen on paper the creation of those structures and processes is rather cumbersome, rational and premeditated. And yet it fosters a language of visual systems.
Here, there and in between
Within Art I can do whatever I want to. The idea of this useful occupation with the useless liberates us from the constraints of utility.
Design is not Art sold out. To design means to care for the needs of others. It is a break from spinning around yourself.
It is exciting to explore the space between those two poles.

Exclusive: Yesha backs bid to win land in Israel for evacuees (JERUSALEM POST) By MATTHEW GUTMAN 02/03/05)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1107314591955
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
The Council of Jewish Communities in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip (Yesha Council), the nerve center of Israel´s largest anti- disengagement juggernaut, is quietly supporting a legal forum that is lobbying the government for land inside Israel to relocate several Gush Katif settlements, The Jerusalem Post has learned.
The council´s stance is eliciting cries of hypocrisy from groups both to the left and the right of the council. It is even sparking speculation that the settlement´s governing body has secretly forsaken the Gaza Strip, and that settler leaders are instead focusing on preventing a larger Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank in the future. But settler leaders said they were seeking "insurance" should the campaign against disengagement fail.
Zvi Hendel, the only Knesset member living in Gush Katif and a key opponent of disengagement, appointed the forum to investigate the feasibility of moving several settlements, including his own community, Ganei Tal, to land inside Israel. He kept the forum secret until the Post questioned him about it on Tuesday.
"I am for Gush Katif," Hendel told the Post. "But if we lose this struggle, we need to do something to ensure that we stay a community."
While the legal forum is hunting for ways to secure the Nitzanim coast as a new beachhead for the Gaza settlements, over the past several months many individual Gush Katif residents were practically branded traitors for expressing their willingness to move.
"We continue to fight for Gush Katif," said Avner Shimoni, head of the Hof Aza Regional Council, justifying the umbrella council´s stance, "but who says the government should be allowed to cripple us and then rob us too?"
Still, Shimoni admitted that the council´s support of relocating to the Nitzanim beach area as many settlers as are willing to move there "presents us with an inherent problem."
But Shimoni said he must also "look to the day after the evacuation, though I pray it won´t happen."
He and the spokeswoman for the settlers´ council, Emily Amrusi, agreed that Gush Katif residents "need an insurance policy" for the post-evacuation period.
Currently, said Shimoni, the government´s compensation package was "pitiful," and efforts to move the communities in full were aimed at preventing "psychological damage" in the future. Research conducted on the evacuees of the Sinai settlement of Yamit showed that those who left in groups fared much better than those who started anew independently.
Right-wing activists from National Jewish Front Party head Baruch Marzel to Kahane Chai activist Itamar Ben-Gvir slammed those involved with the plan and called for their resignation. Marzel specifically called upon Hendel on Wednesday to resign from the Knesset after his involvement with the legal forum surfaced.
In a campaign such as the one against disengagement, said an incredulous Ben-Gvir, "the most vital thing is our belief in the path and our victory, and if these people do not believe in those things then they should quit and go home."
The "Nitzanim Plan" calls for as many settlers as are willing to move into an area about 20,000 dunams in size along the beach, located between Ashdod and Ashkelon. Several communities would arise along that beach, which would include farms and greenhouses, according to Yitzhak Meron, who heads the Evacuation-Compensation Bill Knesset Action Team for the Legal Forum. He and Shimoni both noted that Nitzanim is closest to Gush Katif in terrain and location.
Standing in the way of the settlers are no longer politicians, but merely "turtle eggs, a few dunes and a little IDF base," according to Meron, who is among 100 lawyers working for the forum all on a pro- bono basis.
The Disengagement Authority and the government have balked at handing Nitzanim over to the settlers because it is home to a nature preserve, a key birthing spot for sea turtles and an IDF base.
"This is ridiculous," said Meron. "They are willing to evacuate 8,000 settlers, but can´t make arrangements for them in the one place they want to build their new homes." Meron was confident that the government will find space for the settlers in Nitzanim.
Yet for the settlers´ council, and specifically for Hendel, there was a silver lining. Reached at his home in the Tel Aviv neighborhood of Ramat Aviv, Yahad MK Yossi Sarid issued rare praise for Hendel for what he called a realistic and practical approach.
"It´s his right and obligation to fight against the plan, but I am glad that he knows he has to then accept decisions when they are made," Sarid said. "My office in the Knesset is next to his and I told him that if he is left homeless by the disengagement, he and his family can live with us. I guess my offer scared him enough to seek other accommodations." Gil Hoffman contributed to this report. (© 1995-2005, The Jerusalem Post 02/03/05)

Hello, List. There are cases when GEQO returns a very bad plan in some rare executions of a query. To decrease likehood of this happening, I propose: When GEQO detects that what it found is in fact a miserable plan it restarts the search. Simple math shows that if the probability of a bad plan found in one 'go' is p, the overall probability of a bad plan is p^N . GEQO would decide that the plan is bad when the calculated cost of the plan would exceed the time spent planning so far a fixed number of times (100 ? a configurable parameter ?) . I think a function infering cost from time spent could be calculated from cpu_operator_cost - or is there a better way? As a safety mean I wish to limit the number of replannings to a fixed value (10? 20? a configurable parameter?) If I introduce some configuration variables, I plan to infer the defaults from geqo_effort (no concrete plan for this now). An alternative to restarting the search might be just extending it - running the main loop of geqo() function longer. I plan restarting because I`m afraid the real reason for getting bad plans could be that the algorithm is getting into some local minimum and can`t get out. I will explore that more. If there is agreement to do this, it looks simple enough that I volunteer to implement it. Please tell me what is the deadline for this to make into 8.4 . What I lack is good test cases to verify the solution. Greetings Marcin Mańk

That Ain't Right
Oh my gosh! So emo!!! There are times where I just need to shake things up in my own head because they get too ridiculous in the wrong directions.
Poor Dalia, or should I say My Little Beerhorse. I fought against this whole My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic thing for a very long time! Everyone thought since I have a horse character, and I was definitely a huge My Little Pony fan as a kid, and I liked the Power Puff Girls, that I would LOVE the new MLP:FIM! I was against it because they took my cute round pudgy ponies of the 80′s and made them into huge eyed skinny little freaks! Finally I decided that if I was going to truly be against the show, I'd have to watch it so I'd know what I was talking about. … Yeah, I got sucked in. It was Rarity's artistic meltdown that did it, "I'm so Pathetic!" I now even own a creepy little Rarity figure. It's grown on me.
In other news, my summer quarter and my summer internship are both done! My comic book that I was to complete over the summer is not though. Only a few more pages to go, I'm going to finish it even if it is late.
Tuesday I pack the car and leave Connecticut for my last year in Savannah! I am so excited to get this senior year going and finished so I can move back to the good ole North East for good! I love New England, it's been a beautiful summer. I'll be leaving temps in the high 70′s to go back to 90 degree and humid Savannah, but my cats are there and they make everything better.

Freudian Slip: Candy Crowley Calls Him 'President Romney'
CNN's Candy Crowley got a tremendous amount of criticism last month when she defended Barack Obama during the second presidential debate.
On Sunday's State of the Union, she appeared to compensate by saying "President Romney" in a question to Ohio's Rob Portman (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CANDY CROWLEY, HOST: You have in Ohio a jobless rate that is better than the nationwide jobless rate, and you have an auto bailout that the President put in place that's highly popular. What is it in this state that makes you think that President Romney, uh, sorry, Governor Romney can overcome those particular statistics and the feel of the voters?
SENATOR ROB PORTMAN (R-OHIO): I like your Freudian slip on President Romney. That sounded good.
CROWLEY: [Laughs]
Coming two days before Election Day, that's REALLY entertainment.

There is only one way forward and no other. Our condition for a new ceasefire is clear and simple. Israel must end its criminal war and slaughter of our people, lift completely and unconditionally its illegal siege of the Gaza Strip, open all our border crossings and completely withdraw from Gaza. After this we would consider future options.

Buying a new digital point and shoot camera can be confusing. If you are an amateur photographer, you will be bewildered by all the funky terms used for marketing. This is a concise and brief guide on how to narrow down your choices into the one digital camera that best suits your need. Make sure you get a basic idea about camera settings before you buy any camera.
You should fix your budget first. This will help you narrow down your options very much. By setting a budget do not assume you should just set an upper limit. Go for a price range and search for a good camera in that range. Being a starter it is safe to set a $50 range. For example look for cameras in the $150 to $200 category. Once you have set your budget, stick with it.
Which brand?
It is always better to put your eggs in a reputed brands basket. Go for brands like Canon, Nikon, Sony etc. All are pretty good. Once you have narrowed down by price, go to a store front and take pictures on those cameras, see for yourself how they look. In my personal experience which includes around 50 cameras from different brands, Canons have been found to have much better image quality in the point and shoot segment. But do not take my word, go and try some cameras for yourself and find out which is the best one for you.
As a beginner, ease of use is going to be a primary concern. When you are checking out cameras, switch them on and check for ease of use. Note how easy it is to take pictures in automatic mode, setting flash, setting macro mode, deleting pictures, playing slide show etc. Use the camera to feel where the switches are placed.
How many Megapixel do I need?
Megapixel count is one of the most popular marketing gimmick used in point an shoot segment. People tend to fall for the bigger numbers for obvious reasons. Think about what your primary use of the pictures would be. If your main use would be to share pictures online, you definitely do not need that 12MP camera. Higher megapixel are primarily aimed for printing. There are chances that you will never print 99% of the images you take. Another thing with the higher megapixel count is that as the size of the sensor remains same and more and more megapixel are crushed in, the amount of light per pixel will reduce and can lead to higher noise.
Optical/Digital Zoom
Always look for how much Optical Zoom the camera has got. Do not give a damn about the digital zoom. Always go for a higher optical zoom. When the optical zoom is more than 3X, its a good idea to have a camera with Image Stabilization (IS). There are two types of image stabilization, Optical and Digital. Most of the time, optical is better.
Movie Capture
If you are going to be capturing videos frequently, get a camera that captures HD movies. The good thing bout cameras that can capture HD movie is that they will also support lower resolutions such as 640x480px and 320x240px. Make sure the camera can zoom and auto focus while the movie is being recorded. If the camera doesn't have these two features, the HD movie feature is pretty much useless.
Extra Features
Features like extended shutter delay, extended ISO, water proofing and the like can be found in many cameras. Give them necessary points if they help your purpose. Many of the Canon cameras can be feature enhanced with CHDK. You can check it on their website. They allow you to unlock features of your camera without voiding the warranty. And they do not make any permanent changes, it can be reverted any time you need.
Always remember, that great pictures are taken by great photographers, not necessarily with great cameras. The camera is only a tool, you are the one who is taking the pictures. If you have a buddy who is into photography, ask for his help.

Christian college students to gather in Downtown Pittsburgh for Jubilee
The annual gathering of Christian college students in Downtown Pittsburgh is twice as old as she is, but Allie Gray is getting a fresh perspective on Jubilee as her time as an undergraduate comes to an end.
"It's a blessing that I get to see all of this," said Gray, 21, a senior at Point Park University who is from West Deer. "It's amazing that they truly care about college students. College is a place where you are encouraged to do crazy things and to find yourself, but those aren't always in the best or safest ways."
Students from the region and across the country are expected to begin arriving on Friday for Jubilee 2014, the 42nd installment of the conference put on by the Coalition for Christian Outreach, a campus ministry that partners with churches and other groups to serve 107 campuses in seven states, including Pennsylvania.
"We try to help them make sense of their college years from a faith perspective," said Vince Burens, executive vice president and chief operating officer of the East Liberty-based organization.
For the first five years, the event had a different name but has been called Jubilee for 37 years, Burens said. The 3,000 people expected for this weekend's event would be a record, he said. The conference runs through Sunday in the Westin Pittsburgh and the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.
"We have people flying in from everywhere," he said. "I think it's a very significant event for Pittsburgh."
Craig Davis, president and CEO of Visit Pittsburgh, a Downtown-based nonprofit tourism agency, welcomed the conference "because it brings nearly 2,000 young people here.
"Pittsburgh is a great place for young people," Davis said. "The delegates will have the opportunity to enjoy and experience our great city, and hopefully come back again with their friends and families."
Ashley Minnich will arrive for her fifth Jubilee conference.
"I have been attending since my second year in college and am still going throughout my graduate school years as well," said Minnich, 23, a Lancaster County native and student at Philadelphia College of Pharmacy.
Jubilee fosters a sense of community among others who share her faith, Minnich said.
"It is encouraging to talk to so many students who are in a similar situation as I am, with attending college and being a Christian," she said. "It is difficult to stay strong in your faith sometimes while at school, but Jubilee helps me remember that no matter how difficult the situation, my faith and showing God's love to my campus is the most important priority."
Session topics at the conference include Christianity on campus, in the workplace and in public life; student athlete integrity; faith and the law; and religion in science, technology, social sciences and the music industry.
Of the two dozen speakers and artists to attend are Andy Crouch, executive editor of Christianity Today; Steven Garber, principle of The Washington Institute for Faith, Vocation and Culture; and artist-advocate Scott Erikson.
Behind the scenes will be Gray, a CCO intern who is coordinating extra activities during down time such as a dance party, bingo, yoga and games. She begins working full-time for the coalition on graduating in May and is thankful for the influence the organization has had on her life.
"Their slogan is 'Transforming college students to transform the world,' " Gray said. "I feel as though I am a living example of them being able to transform someone to work to the best of their ability to glorify God in his kingdom."

A Year of Good Food: Herbed polenta chips with caramelised aioli
Sophie takes us along for a year of good food. Good food is seasonal eating, catering for parties, enjoying good food and life itself.
Following on from last week's post where I talked a bit about cooking for parties and crowds – here's another absolutely fantastic little recipe for party people.
The baked polenta chips can be prepared completely in advance, so that about 20 minutes before you fancy serving around a big bowl of crunchy, hot, golden chips, you can just bung these in the oven.
Relatively good for you (lots better than fried hot chips!) and just delicious, these babies are definitely worth trying. We are having them for dinner tonight with a pot-roast of venison and I can't wait.
The aioli is also beautiful but if you didn't fancy making this, just serve with some nice chilli jam or maybe even a tub of good old sour cream with sweet chilli sauce (an oldie but such a goodie).
Herbed polenta chips
2 cups water
2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups instant polenta
2 tbsp lemon thyme leaves
1/2 cup grated cheddar (vintage)
30g butter, melted
Combine water and milk in a saucepan and bring to the boil, gradually whisk in the polenta, reduce heat to low and add the thyme leaves. Whisk constantly for about 5 minutes then set aside and stir through the cheese. Spread the polenta in one thin layer across a tray lined with baking paper then pop in the fridge for an hour or two or overnight if that's easier.
Preheat oven to 200C. Slice the polenta into thin chip shapes and brush with the melted butter. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Serve immediately with the aioli. Serves 4-6 as a snack.
Caramelised garlic aioli
1 bulb garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
2 egg yolks
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp sea salt
200ml olive oil
Preheat oven to 180C. Rub the garlic with olive oil and wrap in foil. Cook for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, unwrap and let cool. Squeeze the caramelised garlic cloves into a bowl, add egg yolks, vinegar and salt and whisk well. Gradually add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking all the time so the oil is incorporated into the mixture and becomes a beautiful thick sauce. Store in a jar or covered container in the fridge for 2-3 days.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 24.0200 Wednesday, 24 April 2013
Date: April 23, 2013 9:21:59 PM EDT
Subject: Greenblatt's Freedom
In Shakespeare's Freedom (42) Stephen Greenblatt quotes these lines:
O me, what eyes hath love put in my head,
Which have no correspondence with true sight!
Or if they have, where is my judgement fled,
That censures falsely what they see aright? (Sonnet 148)
Greenblatt explains: "To censure falsely is to regard as beautiful what 'true sight' knows is ugly, and therefore to contradict the testimony of the eyes".
I think Greenblatt is mistaken. The last two lines could be paraphrased: Or if the eyes of love have correspondence with true sight, my judgment falsely censures my love for being unbeautiful. The oddness of saying that "censure falsely" means "regard as beautiful" might warn us off this interpretation, though perhaps an attraction to the esoteric can override the warning.
I wonder if others agree.
Best wishes,
David Bishop

While you were sleeping: Wall Street pauses
April 4 (BusinessDesk) – US equities slipped from record highs as investors awaited the government's monthly employment data before making further bets on the American economy.
A Labor Department report today showed initial claims for state unemployment benefits climbed by 16,000 to a seasonally adjusted 326,000 last week. The previous day ADP Research Institute data had showed US companies added 191,000 payrolls in March.
Separately, the US trade deficit unexpectedly grew in February, rising 7.7 percent to US$42.3 billion, while the Institute for Supply Management's US non-manufacturing index increased to 53.1 in March, up from 51.6 a month earlier.
"The information we've gotten so far today is a little bit on the light side with respect to leading us towards bullishness, but not enough to make us run screaming 'sell' down the halls," Kim Forrest, senior equity research analyst, Fort Pitt Capital Group in Pittsburgh, told Reuters.
The government's payrolls report is expected to show that 200,000 jobs were added last month with the jobless rate slipping to 6.6 per cent.
In afternoon trading in New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged 0.04 percent lower, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 0.20 percent, while the Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 0.87 percent.
Earlier in the session both the Dow and the S&P 500 set intraday record highs.
Gains in shares of Intel and American Express, up 1.8 percent and 0.6 percent respectively, offset declines in shares of Microsoft and Merck, down 0.9 percent and 0.7 percent respectively.
In Europe, the Stoxx 600 Index ended the day 0.1 percent higher than the previous close, as did Germany's DAX. France's CAC 40 rose 0.4 percent. The UK's FTSE 100 fell 0.2 percent.
The European Central Bank kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at a record low 0.25 percent, as had been widely expected.
"We are resolute in our determination to maintain a high degree of monetary accommodation and to act swiftly if required," ECB President Mario Draghi said after the meeting in a statement. "Hence, we do not exclude further monetary policy easing and we firmly reiterate that we continue to expect the key ECB interest rates to remain at present or lower levels for an extended period of time."
"The Governing Council is unanimous in its commitment to using also unconventional instruments within its mandate in order to cope effectively with risks of a too prolonged period of low inflation," Draghi said. "The risks surrounding the economic outlook for the euro area continue to be on the downside."
Some analysts said Draghi's comment reflected a new urgency with regards to bolstering inflation to a higher level.
"Draghi tends to speak vaguely and just reiterate earlier speeches but he was more specific and aggressive this time round," Steven Santos, a broker at X-Trade Brokers, told Bloomberg News. "It looks like the ECB is increasingly pondering cutting the main interest rate and that the central bank might even come up with new measures soon. Markets clearly want more intervention from Draghi."

LOS ANGELES - The Dodgers and a fan who sued the team over a broken neck suffered when a drunken man fell on him from an upper deck have settled their lawsuit, an attorney for the injured man told a judge today.
The announcement came as Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Alan S. Rosenfield was scheduled to hear arguments by the Dodgers, asking that the lawsuit by Stephen Suarez be dismissed. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
The lawsuit, filed in September 2009, stemmed from an Oct. 12, 2008, League Championship Series game between the Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies. Suarez and a brother were sitting in the field box section, and the allegedly drunken fan, Pete La Rosa, was above him in the loge section, the suit stated.
Suarez and his brother, Alex Suarez, alleged negligence, premises liability and negligent infliction of emotional distress. In their latest court papers, attorneys for the brothers referred to the March 31 beating of San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow outside Dodger Stadium and alleged security there also was deficient when their client was hurt.
They maintained the Stow incident was "further support for (Suarez's) position that the Dodgers acted negligently and breached their duty of care by failing to secure Dodger Stadium and remove the severely intoxicated La Rosa ..."
La Rosa "was severely inebriated and showed signs of intoxication throughout the game -- a result of a marijuana cigarette, 10 beers and six shots of tequila prior to and during the game," the suit stated.
A Phillies fan, La Rosa "repeatedly yelled, swore and taunted the Dodger fans in the loge box section throughout the game," the complaint states. In return, several Dodger fans taunted him, shouted obscenities and threw peanut shells at him, the suit stated.
After the game, La Rosa walked to the railing at the bottom of the loge level, then "stepped over the short railing, turned toward the loge box level, waved his baseball cap in the air, lost his balance and fell ... to the field box level," according to the suit.
La Rosa struck Stephen Suarez, breaking his fourth and sixth vertebrae, the suit stated. His brother suffered emotional distress from witnessing his brother being hurt, according to the complaint. The three were among the 56,800 fans present.
Attorneys for the siblings maintained security personnel at Dodger Stadium should have prevented La Rosa from climbing over the railing and ejected him. They say he was a danger to himself and other fans. However, in their court papers attorneys for the Dodgers said the mishap was unforeseeable and nothing like that had happened there previously.
"Never before in the 49-year history of Dodger Stadium had anyone jumped or fallen off any of the elevated levels of seating at the facility, including the loge level where Mr. La Rosa was seated," the Dodger court papers stated. "Although more than 139 million people had attended at least 4,600 events at the stadium over the many years, nothing like that every happened. Other events staged over the years at Dodger Stadium include concerts by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, U2, Elton John and Madonna, the Dodgers' court papers stated.
Although witnesses interviewed by team officials agreed La Rosa was drunk and cheering loudly, they considered his actions "innocent, good-natured, fun, entertaining and normal" for a playoff game at Dodger Stadium, the Dodgers' court papers stated.
Thus, the Suarez brothers' attorneys are wrong to maintain Dodger security officials had an obligation to throw La Rosa out of the stadium, according to the team's court papers.
In a sworn declaration submitted on behalf of the Dodgers, engineer Charles E. Turnbow stated that the rail La Rosa stepped over meets building code standards set by the city of Los Angeles.
The Dodgers won the game, 7-2, but lost the series to the Phillies, four games to one.

Trustee Melhorn honored with Proxmire award
Melhorn was congratulated by the evening's Master of Ceremonies Cokie Roberts, ABC News award winning journalist and author, and McDaniel President Joan Develin Coley. Both Melhorn and Roberts are honorary degree recipients of McDaniel.
In his top leadership position with EMA, Melhorn has grown this not-for-profit organization from its first retirement community to three additional communities including Copper Ridge, a residential and outpatient facility dedicated exclusively to the care of people with memory-impairing illness. He also initiated the internationally recognized Copper Ridge Institute, a center affiliated with The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine for research and study of memory-impairing illness, and created EMA Management, which provides consulting services to continuing care retirement communities, developers, and financial industries and educates caregivers around the globe.
The award honors the late Sen. William Proxmire who battled Alzheimer's disease and was cared for at Copper Ridge.

Sputnik, spaghetti and the IBM SPACE machine
The 50th anniversary of the 1401
No spaghetti for you
For decades, electromechanical accounting machines had processed data stored on punchcards - literally pieces of paper with holes in them. And since the early years of the 20th century, such machines had been programmed via plugboards, arrays of wires and wire-jacks.
"We have an image here of a fairly simple control panel," Branscomb deadpans, pointing to a mass of interwoven wires on a screen behind him. "They looked like a bunch of spaghetti, but this is how you controlled the machine in those days."
When Underwood laid eyes on the WWAM's plugboard - which accounted for nearly half its cost - he was, in his own words, appalled. "It was huge - it had to be," he says. "And all the electronics that drove the panel did nothing but that. They didn't help the customer solve his problem. They just drove the control panel."
The SPACE Machine would take a very different path. "I said 'From now on, no more control panels. We can use the money in a much better way,'" Underwood explains. "We could go to the kind of technology we saw in the large scale binary computers, go to a stored program." In this way, programming could be treated like native logic. "It could be manipulated and executed at high-speed."
Underwood calls the SPACE machine "my own little project. It could sit there and I could hug and pat it, slice it and dice it, and do anything I wanted to do. Nobody was telling me what to do." But in the wake of the WWAM's demise, it would become much more.
Joined by the 1402 (a card reader) and the 1403 (a printer), the 1401 was announced to the world on October 5, 1959, just two years - to the day - from Branscomb's Paris Sputnik meeting. The first unit shipped in September of the following year.
Clock speed: 87 kilohertz
Weighing four tons and consuming 13 kilowatts of power, 1401 machine included 500,000 separate components. Borrowing the WWAM's data path design, it was one of IBM's earliest transistor-based machines, with discrete germanium alloy-junction transistors designed by Big Blue and eventually built by Texas Instruments.
Made up of 2,300 printed circuit cards - each about 2.6-inches wide and 4.5-inches long - the core processor ran at 87 kilohertz. Core memory was no more than a stack of donut-shaped magnets circling tiny wire threads, and it stored somewhere between 1,400 to 16,000 positions, each holding 8 bits of data.
The 1403, the 1402, and the 1401 - with a tape drive
Machine-level programming was handled through a language dubbed Autocoder, but compilers were soon added for Cobol and Fortran. Though there was no operating system per se, Big Blue did provide a library of input and output utilities, and for later units equipped with tape drives, the company offered sort and merge programs as well.
The typical 1401 sold for around $500,000 - roughly $3.4m in today's dollars. But you could rent one for a mere $6,500 a month.
For some, Fran Underwood's SPACE machine wasn't the most important IBM system of the 60s. The System/360 mainframe played Apollo to its Mercury. But as Charles Branscomb puts it: "The 1401 made a huge contribution to the 360. It paid for it."

INDIVIDUAL winemakers are being urged to visit export destinations themselves rather than delegate the task to help boost sales at a time wine exports are showing little growth and those to the lucrative Chinese market are sliding.
China has become increasingly important to producers, who can generate higher profit from sales there than in traditional and larger markets in the United Kingdom and the United States.
But figures released on Tuesday by Wine Australia, a statutory government authority, show wine exports to China fell 3 per cent to 41.5 million litres in the year to March. This is 23 per cent below a peak 54.6 million litres exported two years ago, The Australian Financial Review reports.
But importantly for wine makers, the value of wine sold to China continues to strengthen, gaining 18 per cent to $5.85 per litre. This compares with $3.14 per litre in 2011, reflecting higher sales of cheaper bulk wine, which were often used in Chinese wine labels.
Tightening conditions in China are being blamed on new President Xi Jinping's austerity measures, which include bans on extravagant spending, such as lavish banquets and excessive gift giving by civil servants. This has put more focus on selling wines through retailers and restaurants.
Wine Australia market development manager James Gosper said distributors and retailers overseas were noticing Australian wine makers were no longer visiting them.
"One piece of advice I have is to return to the markets," Mr Gosper said.
"I visited the UK, US and China (in March) and for the first time people were telling me that Australian wine makers had not visited for a long time.
"We represented our wines like nothing else many years ago. Aussie wine makers were there pouring wines at wine shows and everyone else caught on. Australia has retreated, I think wine makers are saying I can't afford it so I'll send my marketing or sales guy. It has been noted in those markets."
Wine Australia statistics show total wine exports grew 2 per cent to 719 million litres in the year to March, with bottled wine up 2 per cent to an average $4.43 a litre and bulk wine up 1 per cent to $1.02 a litre. Higher sales to the US and Canada offset falls to Britain and China. Exports to the US above $7.50 a litre rose 2 per cent to 4 million litres.
Burch Family Wines co-founder Jeff Burch said the rebound in the US did little to persuade him to re-enter that market, which he quit 18 months ago as the high Australian dollar suffocated profits for his Margaret River labels Howard Park and MadFish. The company had been selling wines in the US for nearly two decades. He is not worried about Chinese wine growth slowing. "It was unsustainable and there was a lot of opportunistic sales with bulk wine being sold at 50¢ or 60¢ a litre. But that's all gone now. Growth at the premium end is solid,'' he said.
Mr Burch said rising costs including soaring power bills were contributing to the worst conditions he had experienced in his business's 25-year history.

I personally love non-wedding related stamps on wedding invitations. I think I am a little jaded because I see that darn wedding cake stamp on evvvvverrrythinnnnng. But, seriously, it's boring! Most of the time, the cake doesn't even go with the style of invitation you chose.
Here is some advice when choosing stamps:
- Pick a color that coordinates or contrasts well with your invitation
- Figure out how big or small you want the stamps to be. Vintage stamps you have much more variety of sizes/
- Figure out exactly how much postage you will need, it could be a lot more or less than you think!
-Look around a bit, you will be shocked at what pretty stamps the post office will actually have. Go to www.USPS.com and search the stamps. USPS will have stamps for the face value, whereas purchasing them on third party sites like Zazzle will charge you extra.
-If you can't find any you like on USPS, try Etsy! Search your color + unused vintage stamps. Most sellers are small business owners and will take the time to customize a collection to fit your needs.
And of course, a little inspiration to get you started...

Lately, I have really been wanting to work on a side project that had meaning and something I could work on for a few minutes every morning. I really hadn't found any inspiration for a personal project until a few days ago. The idea I can't get out of my head is to do a 365 project to try to get 365 inspirational quotes from the bible and turn them into artwork. It's day 3 now and so far, so good:) I am having way too much fun with this to stop now!
I am definitely drawing some good vibes from this project and I hope you can too!

I had the pleasure of collaborating with the girls of Loveleigh Invitations, Danielle and Cheyenne, on these totally luxurious letterpress invitations. It's not a normal occasion that I actually get to see the finished project so I was super excited when these came in the mail!
The bride chose an all script look, pressed in hot pink with the envelopes addressed in gold. I think it all came together to be quite the stunner! I hope there are many more collaborations to come!

Whew, it has been a super long time since I have posted! One question that I receive very frequently is how I prefer the guest list to be formatted. While, I am an easy going person and hate being particular...when it comes to a guest list that you are handing over to a wedding calligrapher, you need to be exact and thorough.
One thing to keep in mind, most calligraphers (okay, ALL) are very competent people. That being said we don't know the guests on your list. Is Matt a Doctor or a Reverend? Would Sally be insulted if we listed her as Miss when she is clearly an established "Ms." (say it with a snooty accent)
Most calligraphers are able to assume on street/state names and spell out any abbreviations. If that makes it easier on you, feel free to abbreviate the actual address portion as much as you'd like. I WILL write everything out.
Do not assume we assume names. I will NOT assume on a name!
Bottom line: we don't know your guests, you do. So let's cut the drama out of having your envelopes addressed by a calligrapher and learn how to write your guest list right--the first time!!
Here is how to properly format your guest list:
One: Decide what program you would like to use. Word and Excel are the most popular. If you don't have those programs, you can use Google Docs to complete this.
Two: Decide what format you will use. Formal or Casual? ie: Mr. and Mrs. or Sally and Bob?
Three: Sit down with your fiance and decide who you are inviting. Once you have settled on who to invite, use social media or a phone call to get everyone's address. I prefer social media or texting because you will have the address in writing to look back on just in case.
Four: Now that you have your guests picked and their addresses are slowly but surely starting to pour in you are ready to set up your list. For this post we will focus on a typical married couple and a married doctor using a formal format.
Bob and Sally sent you over their new address and are anxiously awaiting their invitation! Bob works in sales and Sally is a make up artist. Neither have a specialized degree, and Sally did take his last name when they married. Bob is short for Robert (clarify this with the guest before assuming their name is a shortened version.)
So you would write their address as:
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Blake
435 Main St. #6
Dallas, Texas 75025
*Remember I will write everything out so you can abbreviate on the street and apartment numbers if desired.
*Do not include Sally's first name in the formal format. "Mrs." literally means the Mr.'s property so she will become Mrs. Robert Blake formally. If Sally didn't take Bob's last name you would write it out as Mr. Robert Blake and Ms. Sally Soo
So you have an aunt and uncle who met in medical school while obtaining their doctorates? They got married after the graduated and she took his last name. We will use Bob and Sally as example names again. Rather than writing it out as "Dr. and Dr. Robert Blake" the formal way of writing their address would be:
The Doctors Blake
435 Main St #6
Dallas, Texas 75025
*If the male is the only doctor it would be written as "Dr. and Mrs......." if the female is the only doctor it would be written as "Doctor Sally Blake and Mr. Robert Blake"
I hope this helps with some common questions I get on guest lists! I will be posting more frequently and follow up to this post with some more helpful tips on preparing your guest list for your calligrapher!!

Portugal's prime minister opened the door to downgrading the government's 2013 economic forecast, a move that could undermine Lisbon's efforts to meet budget goals under its EU/IMF bailout.
The Portuguese economy shrank much more than expected in the fourth quarter of 2012, data showed on Thursday, and domestic demand is expected to be hit this year after the biggest tax rises in living memory took effect last month.
"The (fourth-quarter) results leave us with a level of foreign demand that, if extended into 2013, will not allow us to maintain the projections we have made," Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho told a boisterous session of parliament on Friday.
The country is now in its third year of recession, its worst downturn since the 1970s, as the economy has been hit by weak demand for exports and sweeping austerity measures imposed under a €78-billion bailout from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund.
The government has projected that the economy would contract 1 per cent this year but economists expect the slump to be much deeper and the Bank of Portugal forecasts a 1.9 per cent contraction, mainly on the back of lower demand for Portuguese exports.
At one stage in parliament, Passos Coelho was interrupted as members of the public in the stands started singing a popular revolutionary song.
"Of all the ways to interrupt the session, this was by far the nicest," Passos Coelho said, smiling.
Lower economic output this year could make it more difficult for the government to cut its budget deficit to 4.5 per cent of GDP, from 5 per cent last year, which could lead to the EU and IMF demanding more spending reductions as a result.
The economy contracted by 1.8 per cent in the fourth quarter on a quarterly basis, compared with a forecast 1 per cent decline and much worse than a 0.9 per cent decline in the previous quarter.
Passos Coelho said the larger-than-expected decline was due to lower exports. Exports had been the only bright spot of the economy in the past two years.
"We are evaluating the importance of the data we have," he said. "In the last quarter of 2012 we saw a decline in foreign demand that was far from our projections."
To successfully exit its bailout programme in mid-2014 as scheduled Lisbon still needs to convince investors it can cut its debt and make a full return to bond markets.

The internet has triggered an upheaval in the economy not dissimilar to the havoc created by the industrial revolution, which began to take hold at the end of the 18th century.
Superannuation fund trustees should take note, as their businesses are unlikely to be immune from the march into cyberspace.
Developing an informative, user-friendly website, communicating with members through social media, and customising member exper-iences will become increasingly critical for the $1.4 trillion retirement savings industry if it is to remain relevant to its customer-base.
Unfortunately, the internet tsunami is coinciding with lousy market conditions and a series of reforms to savings products, back office systems and governance standards.
Trustees could be excused for thinking that, given their fiduciary responsibility to members, their focus – and capital expenditure – should be directed at improving returns and implementing the so-called Stronger Super reforms.
As Katherine Milesi, partner at accounting firm Deloitte, notes: "Boards haven't focused on the impact of the internet. I don't get the sense they are grappling with it yet."
But a head in the sand approach won't cut it, particularly given that Australia has one of the world's highest levels of smartphone and tablet penetration.
Meanwhile, a Deloitte survey of more than 2000 consumers found that 49 per cent of those between the ages of 29 and 45, and 72 per cent of those between the age of 14 and 22 use their mobile phone for entertainment (more on the importance of this later), 46 per cent of baby boomers prefer their computer over television, 55 per cent of baby boomers first learn of new products online, and 53 per cent of consumers under the age of 22 socialise on networking sites almost every day.
Super fund trustees at least have the advantage of seeing what has happened in industries that have already been hit head-on by the net.
Boards wondering whether to spend hundred of thousands, or indeed millions, of dollars of members' money in cyberspace should consider that a sound online strategy should save costs and help retain and attract members.
If young members and potential members can't readily obtain the information they are looking for from a fund's website, they are likely to continue surfing and come across rival products pretty quickly.
Failure to engage with customers could ultimately affect the viability of the fund.
Furthermore, the more members can do online, such as update their details, switch investment options, obtain information, consolidate their accounts and apply for life insurance, the fewer calls fielded by the call centre.
"Over a period of time, the more you can migrate online, the more you will save," says Milesi.
Some of the more basic things funds can do is develop customised home pages for members, so that they see the images and information that are appropriate for their stage in life.
Funds should also be able to mine data to gain a picture of new visitors to their websites, which would enable them to customise the imagery.
Then there is gamification.
Surely one of the most loathsome travesties of the English language, gamification is the use of game techniques to encourage people to perform chores that they ordinarily might consider boring, such as completing surveys, shopping, filling out tax forms, reading websites – or thinking about saving for retirement.
It would not be too much of a stretch to adapt foursquare.
For the uninitiated, foursquare is a smartphone app that awards mayorships to the player who has frequented a venue the most in a given period. The venue in question might give the mayor a free gift or special treatment. Why not a super fund that gives a mayorship to a member who has worked out a path to meet their retirement goals, or increased their contributions?
Game techniques are being used by the big banks, which may not be online trailblazers, but they are certainly a lot further down the track than retirement funds.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia has Investorville, a virtual world where players can try their hand at investing in a rental property without the risk of actually buying one. The goal is to increase the participant's overall wealth over a 15-year period, by buying and selling properties, charging rent and reacting to various shifts in the economy.
Then there is the use of social media. Moving into cyberspace may indeed be daunting. Analysing the needs and channel habits of members is probably a useful first step.
The Australian Financial Review
