Ohhhhh Fashion's Night Out…you were an interesting one. The Beverly Center (right around the corner from my house) was the scene and the FNO events were on everyone's mind. Of course, I was late…but I made it just in time for the fashion show. The mall was packed and I realized I forgot my camera after I entered the parking structure. All of my pics are courtesy of the trusty old Blackberry.
I don't normally shop at this mall because the plus size selection is limited. But, I wanted to go and check out FNO. I love Los Angeles and it's diverse crowd, who seemed to be on hand last night. I did kind of chuckle when I saw VIP lounges set up in the middle of the mall. Basically, a 20×20 space surrounded by a velvet rope, with fashionistas sipping champagne. All oblivious to us "regular" shoppers walking by.
And I did do a little shopping myself at Forever 21, where I picked up a pair of shoes, belt, and a free beauty bag (with purchase). Yay! I loved every store with a DJ-White House Black Market had the best one! And there seemed to be mini-makeovers everywhere. Some stores had specials, drinks, and freebies. If you were following me on Twitter last night, then you might have seen some of these photos already…if not…here you go!

Tightening the suspension...
Hello BB,
For the last couple months, ive felt like my car is driving very 'slack' and 'loose' and 'sloppy'. While i have a set of coilovers on my wishlist (probably BCs), i wanted to know what are some things that i should either replace or upgrade in order to tighten up/repair/improve the suspension, chassis, and the 'feel of the car'.
Im not entirely sure what bushings or other things i should be checking to see if they are busted, either. Im a super noob when it comes to non-coilover suspension bits. I have a feeling that simply replacing/repairing certain parts of my suspension/chassis would help the ride feel as it is now. Should i be replacing any bushings or similar items at 40k miles? The only maintenance ive done is oil every 4k miles, air filter, oil filter, tires. Thats it (besides what the previous owner/CPO center did. I got it at 33k miles).
So, let me know what you think! I just know my buddies M3 feels 1,000x more planted/stiff/connected, and thats on the M3s stock suspension ( i know, apples to oranges, but you get the idea).

Bushings make a HUGE difference. At 40k miles, you probably have some slop in the rear of the car. I replaced mine awhile back with poly bushings, and the car feels better than it was new.

As far as which bushings to get, ive always heard there are different levels of stiffness? What company/stiffness should i look at? Also, how hard are they to replace? I do all the mods on the car myself, and have access to a floorjack, stands, and a bunch of tools.
EDIT: Are these what i am looking for? http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-15...e-e82-e9x.aspx
@Terry@BMS, do you want to pitch in? Im pretty lost as far as suspension goes and have never been satisfied with how my car handles....
a. your subframe bushings (4 total)which are a royal PITA to remove I have a set of powerflex bushings sitting on my dresser waiting to be installed but im too damn lazy/busy to intsall them.
b.Diff bushings. those are what hold your diff (3 total) I would get the diff lock down from rick@defiv pretty solid stuff.
Consider sway bars and some rear control arms.
im leaning towards BC they are great for street use BUT the oil inside them I hear are not so good for track use and when the get hot the car get really bouncy I think. not sure not a suspension guru but I haven't touched mine other than the diff lockdown.
good luck.
EDIT: oh and your running the wrong tune :pInstagram: Sammy0559
There are more bushings than that!
All suspension arms are suspended in bushings.
As far as stiffness: everything above shore 80A is stiffer than stock. (as a general rule; most stock bushings are something like shore 70a)
If you go for aluminium/delrin bushings, you will experience more NVH and you will put more stress on you chassis (stiffening up the suspension and drivetrain will come at a structural cost eventually)
If you don't know what bushings are and don't know where they can be found, and you just have a basic toolkit+stands, I recommend you don't start yourself in changing bushings, except for the stabiliser bar bushings.
Most bushings are a real PITA to remove and you definately need a hydraulic press or bushing press toolkit or something like that.

Read this on subframe bushings and how to replace them.
If, after readiing this, you think you can do the job, well, then maybe it is doable.
But removing some bushings can realy be a huge PITA.There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works

On the E9x non-M3, virtually every suspension part and bushing is rather soft to make the ride comfortable with the stock RFT tyres. So once you ditch the runflats with their stiff sideflanks, you'll start to notice how sloppy the suspension and chassis is from the factory.
Now when you start replacing bushings, you have to be aware that the ride will become much more "settled", but of course also firmer and less comfortable.
Here's what I have done on my car:
Bilstein PSS10 coilovers
M3 front control arms (2 per side)
M3 rear arms (2)
M3 rear subframe bushings
M3 sway bars F+R
M3 front strut brace
Rogue Engineering Toe Links
Powerflex bushings (main differential bushing + rear lower wishbone to chassis)
Vorshlag camber plates (-3 degress of camber in the front)
I can't exactly quantify how much each part contributes to improving the handling, but the end result is quite stunning. Turn-in, steering feel, response and overall grip is simply amazing. However it's also "on the limit" for a daily driver. Especially the powerflex bushings will harshen the ride ALOT. Those bushings are firmer than the M3 ones so if you have to deal with bad road conditions, I would steer away from those.
For starters, I suggest a good set of coilovers and the "classic" M3 suspension parts. That will already be a huge improvement over stock.E92 335i SB / Black Leather / 6AT / Navi Prof / Sunroof / Active Steering

Swap all your bushings for M bushings. Poly can be a bit harsh for daily driving. It's really preference i guess. I don't mind the stiffness, you might.

Student Project - Veteran Interview
5-19-07 — Lafayette, Indiana
Brian Chelius
War Veteran Interview Summary
Staff Sergeant Paul Marks
C - Battery, 83rd Field Artillery Battalion
Paul Marks was born on a farm in Clinton County, Perry Township, in the New Hope area, on June 5, 1918. He spent the first 19 years of his life there. He attended Colfax High School, graduating in 1935 at the age of 16. His older brother bought a grocery store in Clarks Hill in 1937 and asked Paul to run the Huckster truck to farms around the town. He did this for four years until he was drafted on September 30, 1941. He was one of 71 men in the second group drafted from Lafayette, Indiana. They were taken to Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis, to be assigned to their outfits and duties in the United States Army.
Paul Marks was sent to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, to an artillery training school for officers. The artillery they used was horse-drawn, and they needed someone to ride and take care of the horses. "America at the time did not have much of any equipment, and only what was left from World War I." Paul's job was just that. He rode the wheel team pulling the 75mm guns and also attended basic training at Fort Sill (consisting of foot drills and rifle training).
After a month the army changed to using trucks to pull the artillery, and the guns were upgraded to 105mm. Paul was chosen as a truck driver because of the experience he had from driving the Huckster truck for his brother. His name appeared on a board to go to truck mechanic school where he learned the specifics of how trucks work, what their engines were like, and how to care for them.
When basic training ended, around the time Pearl Harbor was bombed, the army assigned Paul to the 83rd Armored Field Artillery Battalion (83rd AFA Battalion). The battalion consisted of three batteries: A Battery (codenamed Able), B Battery (codenamed Baker) and C Battery (codenamed Charlie), which Paul was assigned to as a truck mechanic. Each battery had six guns for a total of eighteen guns in the battalion.
Around this time the 1st Sergeant had heard that Paul had taken bugle lessons at Fort Sill (The 1st Sergeant was good friends with the battalion bugler, who hated his job). Marks hadn't enjoyed those bugle lessons and did not want to take them "any more than the man on the moon." But the 1st Sergeant came up and told Marks he was to be the battalion's new bugler, and Marks refused. Paul was sent to the battalion commander and was "scared to death." He knocked on the door, and the voice said,
"Come in. (Paul enters). You are Private Marks?"
"Yes Sir."
"I heard you refused to blow the bugle."
{Paul Marks - 'I didn't know what to say so I just blurted it all out'}
"Sir, I was drafted in this man's army to do more for my country than to blow a damn horn."
(The battalion commander turns his head and snickers - he then composes himself)
"Private Marks, that will be all!"
Paul Marks never had to blow that bugle again.
The artillery vehicle was switched again from a truck to an M-7 open-top tank. As a result, Marks was sent to Fort Knox, Kentucky, to study at a tank mechanic school. He enjoyed his stay there because it wasn't that far away from home and he got to go back to Indiana to visit his family on the weekends. At Fort Knox, Marks learned how the tanks' engines work, how to maneuver them, and most importantly, how to keep them running at peak efficiency.
During this time Paul Marks had been dating a girl named Ruth whom he really liked, and on July 17, 1943 they were married in Oklahoma City (the army had been moving Paul around a lot and he decided to go back to visit Oklahoma). Ruth was a nurse whom he first met in Lebanon, Indiana, during his emergency appendix operation - she was one of the nurses who took care of him at that hospital.
The 83rd AFA Battalion was moved to an army base at Ft. Jackson, S.C. This was to give the men more experience in fighting on different types of land, such as in forests. During this time, Paul's first child was born, a boy. Ironically, he had just returned from a fourteen-day furlough when he got the news. His battery commander kindly and promptly gave him another week of leave. He would not get to stay long with his family as on February 1, the 83rd AFA Battalion would be shipped off to England with one of the largest convoys the world has ever seen: over a hundred boats.
Marks would keep in frequent contact with his family by letter and V-Mail throughout his time at war. The 83rd landed at Swansea, England, on March 23, 1944. They were placed in a camp near Evesham, where they were provided with new equipment brought over from the United States. The battalion spent the next four months cleaning their equipment and tanks and preparing for the invasion of France {while I was with him Paul joked that 'There was so much supplies and so many tanks that we probably could have sunk the isle of Britain'}.
The 83rd, attached to the 6th Armored Division of Patton's Third Army, was finally loaded onto boats and sent to Normandy. They arrived on July 15, while the battle for the Normandy area was still going on. Their boats were in the area targeted by a Nazi bombardment so after the battle ended on July 26, the whole battalion was given a combat star (a battle honor) for their part in the Normandy campaign. They had to wait ten days to unload at Utah Beach, which they did on July 25, the day before the battle for Normandy ended. After landing on Utah Beach, the C-Battery Commander came up to Paul and appointed him to take over duties as the battery's new Staff-Sergeant. This meant that Marks would have extra responsibility in making sure that all the battery's tanks were running well.
Paul Marks was riding in one of the battery's open-top halftracks whenever the battalion moved out. He would help repair broken engines and tanks when needed and ensure that they were in tip-top shape throughout the remainder of the war.
After landing at Utah Beach, was attached to a Task Force (it would be attached to a number of different task forces through the remainder of the war to strengthen them for combat) heading for Brest (Task Force A) an important German submarine base in Brittany, west of Normandy. About 40,000 German troops were bivouacked there. The 83rd was instrumental in the shelling of Brest and German positions around the Crozon Peninsula. The battalion's guns fired for eight days straight, stopping only when the German's surrendered (September 19). Apparently the Germans were under the impression that a whole division of artillery had been bombarding them from the 83rd's position, when in fact it was only a single battalion. The 83rd received their second combat star for this battle.
France fell quickly to the Allied liberators and the 83rd was transferred to south Holland where the British 9th Army was based. They were attached to the 2nd Armored Division of the Third Army and fought their way into Germany, making it as far as Linnich on the Rur (Roer in French) River, about 30 miles west of Cologne. While they were there Hitler began his last major counterattack, sending about 30 divisions through the Ardennes Mountains to split the American and British forces and recapture Antwerp in Holland. This resulted in the Battle of the Bulge, which started on December 16, 1944 and lasted until January 25, 1945. The 2nd Armored Division quickly rushed back to Belgium to help stall the German attack. On December 19 the 83rd AFA Battalion was in Liége, and the following day was attached to the 3rd Armored Division of Courtney Hodges' First Army. Moving south to the front lines, the 83rd set up first a little west of the town of Amonines (about 25 miles south of Liége), and then took up a position just east of the village of Érezée (about 1 and 1/2 miles north of Amonines). There they began firing for a task force commanded by Lt. Col. Samuel Hogan, who had been surrounded and cut off by a larger German force at Marcourai, about 5.8 miles to the south of the 83rd's position. "Hogan's 400" was the name given to the men who made their famous stand at Marcourai against the overwhelming German advance and held their lines despite being completely surrounded and cut off by the enemy. The Air Force tried to parachute supplies into Hogan's troopers, but much of it fell on the battery positions of the 83rd, who were in the meantime blasting away at the German lines surrounding Hogan. Short on ammunition, food and medical equipment, Hogan's men destroyed all the equipment they had left and proceeded to infiltrate through enemy lines back to American positions. Many made it, and many did not.
As the German's continued their advance, the 83rd had to withdraw and seek a new position. They set up in the Belgian village of Clavier (about 11 miles north-west of Érezée), where they spent New Year's Day, 1945. Two weeks later, the German advance had stalled and they had begun withdrawing. The 83rd took up its final position during the Battle of the Bulge at the village of Langlire (about 14 miles south east of Érezée ) on January 14. Here the Germans staged an attack which was broken up by the combined firing power of the three batteries of the 83rd, firing some 1,100 rounds of ammunition. On January 21, the 83rd AFA Battalion was relieved from the front lines and moved to the village of Septon (about 6.8 miles north west of Érezée and a mile or two west of Barvaux). The Battalion received its third combat star for its involvement in the Ardennes Forest - The Battle of the Bulge.
After a few weeks of maintenance and rest, Paul Marks and the 83rd AFA Battalion prepared to move into Germany - the 3rd Armored Division's main objective was Cologne on the Rhine River (the fourth-largest city in Germany). The 83rd AFA provided direct support to the 83rd Armored Reconnaissance Battalion as it and the rest of the 3rd Division seized Düren on the River Rur (Roer) and secured the bridgehead across the river on February 25 (Düren was about 21 miles south-west of Cologne). The 83rd AFA was assigned to several different task forces on the way to Cologne which succeeded in driving the German army out of a number of towns. Along the way Paul came across an abandoned German half-track (open-top tank) covered in camouflage. It was brand new, had an 88mm gun on it and surprisingly, still had its keys in the ignition. Marks showed it to the battery commander who ordered it to be sent to be repainted green with white stars, and to remove the gun for more space. Marks and his compatriots renamed it Herman, and Paul was placed in charge and commanded it for the rest of the war. The road to Cologne went quickly, but the 83rd was called to fire on the enemy often and they did so more than adequately. On March 5, all the units of the 3rd Armored Division (including the 83rd AFA) launched an attack on the German forces stationed around Cologne. The battle continued throughout the following day but on March 7, they captured the city. On March 17 the 3rd Armored Division was relieved and moved south towards Bonn (6 miles) to regroup and refit. That same day, Paul Marks was one of the few who was lucky enough to get a three-day pass to Paris, a trip he enjoyed immensely. The 83rd AFA Battalion received its fourth combat star for its involvement in the Rhineland-Cologne area.
When Paul rejoined the 83rd they had begun the advance north and east into central Germany. On March 24, the 83rd was part of Combat Command A (there were three, A, B and R - Task Force Hogan was part of "R") of the 3rd Armored Division. Combat Command A was led by Brigadier General Doyle O. Hickey and consisted of 9 units (including one other Armored Field Artillery Battalion, the 67th) which were often divided up into two task forces (named after their leaders: Lt. Col. Leander Doan and Lt. Col. Matthew Kane - later Lt. Col. John Boles took Doan's command and Lt. Col. William Orr took Kane's when they were promoted).
On March 26 Combat Command A (including the 83rd AFA and Paul Marks) broke through German lines and took the town of Altenkirchen (24 miles east of Bonn). The following day they seized Herborn (29 miles east) and its intact bridge over the Dill River. On March 28 the 3rd Armored Division was ordered to head north-east and seize the city of Paderborn. So the following day, the 83rd and the rest of the division headed out and succeeded in making the longest one-day advance during the war, 101 miles, as they headed toward their goal. One task force of Combat Command A (Kane's) was sent to take Lippstadt, while the other (Boles') joined with the rest of the 3rd Division in assaulting Paderborn on April 1 {I'm not sure which the 83rd AFA was with}. They took the city and had the surrounding area secured by April 4th. The following day the 3rd Armored Division continued its attack east, now following orders to seize the bridges over the Mulde and Elbe rivers at Dessau (150 miles east of Paderborn and only 68 miles south-west of Berlin). The 83rd reached the Elbe River by the town of Bitterfeld (15 miles south of Dessau) and there received word of the Russian advance from the east. They fired a 21-gun salute to the "Red Army" and then moved north to attack Dessau. The 3rd Armored Division used maximum artillery support during this assault, which began on April 21. Fierce house-to-house fighting occurred over the next two days with the last German force in the area finally defeated on April 23rd. On April 25 the 3rd Armored Division was relieved by the 9th Infantry Division and was moved back west to the Sangerhausen area temporarily. However the Paul and the 83rd AFA did not go with the 3rd Armored Division, they were sent north where they encountered very little resistance from the German military. On May 7 and 8 the German military unconditionally surrendered, bringing the war in Europe to a close. The 83rd AFA Battalion was in the small village of Rugensee (14 miles south of the Baltic Sea in northern Germany) when the news came. By then the roads were filled with German prisoners, and sometimes the vehicles of the 83rd had to get off the road to let them pass.
During World War II, there was a point system that determined how early one could go home. The 83rd averaged 80 points. Because Paul was married, had a child and was a winner of the Bronze Star, he had 118 points, so he was one of the first men to go home.
Paul Marks was given medals for good conduct in WWII and Victory in WWII. His Bronze Star, he received for bravery one night when the battalion was in column formation (A, B and C Batteries in that order) and on the move. Marks' halftrack was always the last vehicle in C-Battery and thus the whole battalion column. That particular night the battalion was fired upon and in a very vulnerable position. The C-Battery Commander, 1st Lt. Charles Burch, ordered Paul to get the battery turned around, so that the rest of the battalion could then turn around and escape this mess. Paul ran all the way to the front of C-Battery, while under fire, from vehicle to vehicle, getting them to turn and go back the way they'd come. For his valiant effort and success, he received the Bronze Star.
When the 83rd AFA Battalion moved down into southern Germany, Paul did not go with them. He traveled to Metz, France, as a stopping off point on the way home (as mentioned above he was allowed to go home earlier because he had more points). Marks had to stay in Metz for several months, which he found fairly boring. One interesting event that did occur during that time was when some German POWs got into a US Army supply crate and stole a few packs of chewing gum. It wasn't very harmful or dangerous so nothing came of it.
Paul was finally shipped back to an army base in New York where he was discharged on Sept 25, 1945. Paul met his mother, brother, sister-in-law and wife Ruth in Frankfort, Indiana. They were overjoyed to see each other.
After the war Paul worked at an enamel plant near Frankfort and then switched to work for International Harvester. This job required Marks to set up and assemble equipment, something he had been doing for years. He found out there was a job-opening for postmaster in Clarks Hill (15 miles south-east of Lafayette off of 52), which he took a test to apply for. Paul got the second highest result but was offered the job, to his surprise. The post office respected him as a veteran. He held the job until his retirement. It was this job as postmaster that enabled him to track down the people he had served with and to help organize, at first battery, and later whole battalion reunions. The first reunion was held on August 6-7, 1960 at Paul and Ruth's home in Clarks Hill. Since then, reunions had been held almost every year at various locations throughout the USA. They have not been forthcoming lately, due to the falling number of the veterans of the 83rd AFA Battalion still alive.
The Second World War gave Paul Marks the following opinion,
"I think that we should have a strong army, well equipped, at all times. Look at the time it took us to go from horses to mechanize. That took a lot of time."
Time is what these veterans do not have.

Topic: Radio waves heat nanotubes in tumors and kill them
Some interesting research spawned by a cancer patient that is showing some promise. I was first alerted to this by an article in our local paper and google turned up a couple of hits. Sounds like stage 1 trails are a few years off. The key is getting the metal (needed to overheat the tumor cells) to only the cancer cells.
Keep the faith and keep fighting!

Got your costume all ready for Halloween?! … Of course you don't, it's still a whole two days away! But don't worry — we've got you covered with these last-minute DIY costumes.
1. Pinterest Board
It's almost too easy: just take an old-fashioned bulletin board, cover it with "pins", and hang it around your neck! We'd probably opt for a humor-themed board so you have an excuse to wear pictures of animals with silly captions all night.
Bonus points: Carry around heart stickers so people can "like" your pins.
2. Plants vs. Zombies
Everyone and their mother will be dressed as an Angry Bird. Be more creative by grabbing a friend and zombie-fying them while you turn yourself into a sunflower or other vegetative weapon from the fantastic game.
Bonus points: Add a bucket or traffic cone to the zombie's head.

3. Sh*t Girls Say
Really you could do any of the "Sh*t ____ Say" videos, but the classic will be easiest to recognize. Get an appropriately cheap wig and be sure to perfect your "Twiiiiiinsies!!!", your "Listen.Listen.Listen." and of course, your "Shut…. UP"!
Bonus points: If you're a dude and you "woo girl" with the best of them.
4. Honey Boo Boo
Yes, you'll probably be one of thousands, but if you can get a group to dress up as the entire family we're fairly certain you'll win any costume contest out there. Particularly if you all memorize the "Making Sketti" scene.
Bonus points: Affix subtitles to yourselves.

Hey, Kris, way over yonder! That is wild. I didn't see that but the night before my surgery I caught a Hospital show, can't remember the name, and the patient had my GIST Cancer!! We are even in the TV shows now! Hope you are feeling good.
Hi Kris,
I saw it too. Was surprised and happy to hear it mentioned and getting some attention. It's a start. I watch House all the time. Also love Monk!
hi to everybody...it has been a while since i last posted anything......had a case of bad depression and the blues (funny, my wife is the one who is ill and im depressed)....i wish i had her attitude its so uplifting... im very upbeat around her but when im alone my mind starts to wonder and thats when things get their worst for me....her condition remains the same, blood tests every 2 weeks show no elavation but actually a slight decrease in her makers.... i quess thats the power of prayer and the xeloda seems to be doing what it is meant to do.....since my last post we have purchased a new home by the ocean(something she wanted to do,i was a little leary but went along with it)......its funny how this home at the time needed very little work, now all of sudden, according to my wonderful wife, needs a complete overhaul....that brought a little smile and laugh to me, something thats been missing from my life.....so as you can imagine we have been busy buying and fixing, and fixing and buying.....my only prayer is that god lets us enjoy our new home together....im sitting here staring at the computer screen and im having a hard time trying communicate and there is much i want to say....maybe ill do better the next time until then i hope and wish everyone on this site well, you have been a blessing for us....so you all have the best THANKSGIVING DAY that you possible can.......ron and lucille
What you wrote is exactly my fear for Hans. Hans and I have a psychologist and she is very helpful. We take turns meeting individually and jointly.
Enjoy the new house. I want to live on the beach too. The sounds, the smells..it must be uplifting. Besides, it gives your wife a focus other than cancer. That has to be good.
I am glad Lucilles numbers are going done. Fantastic news!
Hi Ron & Lucille, so good to see you!!! Congratulations on the new house. Sounds like you have enough to keep you busy for awhile. Ron, after Teddy's surgery we had to buy new furniture for the whole house. I understand "buying" goes along with the post surgery. When you think about it, its a form of new beginnings. But I wonder why it's continuing with Teddy after 4 years???
As for depression, why wouldn't Caretakers get depressed? Sometimes when I am alone I just loose it. More so lately than before. We spend so much time with our theater masks on sometimes we just have to let go.
Wishing for you a wonderful ocean side Thanks & Giving Day!
Ron....your wife's attitude coupled with the lower tumor markers is infectious. A house on the beach is my dream also. I am so happy to hear that you were able to acquire your dream house.
Many times while focusing on our loved ones battling a disease we don't allow ourselfes time to tend to our own needs. This accompanying link will lead you to the Caregivers Bill of Right and reading it has been helpful to many myself included. Your feelings are valid and need to be addressed. Lucille is moving forward and sometimes, it is us, those who care for our loved ones, who end up getting stuck in our thoughts accompanied by a feeling of lonelyness. Don't forget about our great Dr. Giles. In addition to all of us relating to what it is your are experiencing he is a great resources when it comes to finding some answers and validation for our feelings.
Here is the link: www.cholangiocarcinoma.org/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=3473.
I can just smell the ocean when thinking of your great, new location.
thank you marions for the link, i read it now when i need to.....thanks lainy and kris for your well wishes, im sending them right back at you and to every one else......your right the sounds and the smells of the ocean are very calming....thank you again.....ron and lucille

Hartt's NUTCRACKER to Feature Local Celebrities
The Hartt School Community Division (HCD) production of Tchaikovsky's timeless holiday classic The Nutcracker features a range of special guests in cameo roles through the course of its four-performance run. Special guests from the community joining the cast include Lieutenant Governor Nancy Wyman and Chad Williams, Director of Program Services of the Boys & Girls Club of Hartford. Closer to home, University President Walter Harrison; acclaimed Head Women's Basketball Coach Jennifer Rizzotti; and Miss Connecticut, Emily Audibert, also appear in cameo roles. Miss Audibert is a senior at the University of Hartford with a triple major in economics/finance, accounting, and entrepreneurial studies. She will represent Connecticut at the 2013 Miss America Pageant in Las Vegas in January. University of Hartford mascot Howie the Hawk, as well as Pucky the Whale, beloved mascot of Connecticut Whale, also make appearances.
The Hartt Community Division invites community figures like these to participate in The Nutcracker to strengthen our connections with the community and, more importantly, demonstrate, once again, the power of the performing arts to engage individuals from all walks of life.
Performances of The Nutcracker are Friday, December 14, at 7:30 PM; Saturday, December 15, at 2:00 PM and 7:30 PM; and Sunday, December 16, at 2:00 PM. All performances are held in Millard Auditorium at the University of Hartford, 200 Bloomfield Avenue, West Hartford. Please call the University Box Office at 860.768.4228 or 800.274.8587 or visit hcd.hartford.edu to purchase tickets. Admission to each performance is $30 for adults; $15 for students 12 and under; and $20 for other students and senior citizens with ID.
Following last year's success, HCD continues to build its production of the ballet, including new scenic elements and the addition of a fourth performance. This fourth performance, as well as the addition of a second cast of many of the roles, will give even more of Hartt's talented students the opportunity to perform on stage in a full-length story ballet. In addition to the 100+ Hartt dancers between the ages of 5 and 18, former members of the Hartford Ballet will grace our stage, including Debra Collins Ryder of Farmington, Angela Quatrocelli Manger of West Hartford, and Susannah Marchese of Hartford. Ms. Ryder and Ms. Marchese are current ballet instructors in the Community Division and continue the strong teaching legacy of the School of the Hartford Ballet. Stephen Pier, former dancer of the Royal Danish Ballet and Associate Professor of Dance and Director of The Hartt School Dance Division, will reprise the central role of Uncle Drosselmeyer.
Even with several special guests appearing in the production, Ms. Dunster keeps the focus on the children and students of Hartt. Dunster says of the ballet, "The holidays are a magical time of the year for children, and Hartt's production of The Nutcracker truly evokes the spirit of the season. HCD's production is performed both by and for young people. Professional guest artists dance adult roles in our production – dancing alongside, inspiring, and mentoring our students throughout the entire process – yet the focus of this production remains exactly where it should be, on our young artists. Featured roles, such as the Sugar Plum Fairy, are danced by our own advanced dancers, which gives them a unique level of experience that other schools do not typically provide."
Christina Henares of Avon and Gwen Schwartz of West Hartford dance the starring role of Clara, each at different performances. Gabrielle Collins of West Hartford and Kathryn Manger of West Hartford will share the principal roles of Snow Queen and the Sugar Plum Fairy. Andrew Matte '15, a University of Hartford Biology Major and Hartt School Dance Division student, will dance the role of the Cavalier. The nearly 100 corps members – ranging in age from 5 to 18, and from Pre-Ballet level study through HCD's elite pre-professional program – hail from a number of area towns, including Avon, Bloomfield, Farmington, Glastonbury, Granby, Hartford, Kensington, Newington, Simsbury, South Windsor, Suffield, Tarrifville, Tolland, Unionville, and West Hartford.
The Community Division's production of The Nutcracker is truly a Hartford community event, incorporating the talents of our young dance artists, former members of the Hartford Ballet, Hartt School dance faculty, and area dignitaries and celebrities. The collaboration of these talented and notable individuals and the HCD Artistic Staff and Production Teams will make this holiday season's presentation of The Nutcracker something that should not be missed.
The Hartt School Community Division (HCD) of the University of Hartford is a comprehensive community arts school that annually provides performing arts instruction to more than 2,000 students. HCD offers a variety of lessons, classes, and performance opportunities in music and dance for students of all ages, experience levels, and abilities. For more information on The Hartt School Community Division, visit www.hcd.hartford.edu.
The Hartt School is the performing arts conservatory of the University of Hartford that offers innovative degree programs in music, dance, and theatre. Founded in 1920, Hartt has been an integral part of the University of Hartford since its charter merged the then Hartt School of Music, the Hartford Art School, and Hillyer College to create the University in 1957. 2010 markEd Hartt's 90th year of providing world class performing arts education to students in Greater-Hartford and around the world. With more than 400 concerts, recitals, plays, master classes, dance performances, and musical theatre productions each year, performance is central to Hartt's curriculum.

April is for Lili by Lorena Haldeman
Welcome! You are browsing as a guestWould you like to see 11 projects made from this pattern and much more? create a free account What am I missing?
April is for Lili
This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download
Some good friends of mine have two darling twin daughters, who like to dress in a similar fashion but not necessarily the same. Thus I wanted to design two scarves that were similar, but not exactly mirror images of each other.
While designed with a child in mind, this scarf could easily be adapted to an adult-sized piece by using larger (for example, worsted weight) yarn and larger needles; or stick with the sock weight and just make it longer.
When I wrote this pattern in 2008, it was written only; recently I have updated this pattern to include a chart and to make it available on Ravelry.

Bunheads, Fox8, 7.30pm
GILMORE Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino hits the ground running with her new comedy-drama series about a Las Vegas showgirl who finds herself teaching ballet to teenagers in a sleepy seaside town. The script crackles with sardonically amusing lines right from the start, and the characters and setting quickly establish a whimsical charm. When we first meet Michelle (Tony-winning Broadway actor Sutton Foster), she's dancing at a casino, complaining about the fact she and her chorus-line colleagues do all the work while the topless dancers who come on for the last couple of minutes get all the applause. We see she's being pursued backstage by a dorky admirer named Hubbell (Alan Ruck), whose affections she doesn't requite. But with her career going nowhere and her life falling well short of a fairytale (she lives in a dilapidated apartment next door to an ageing prostitute who works from home), she drunkenly accepts Hubbell's marriage proposal and wakes up hungover on the road to his quirky little home town. It's there she meets Hubbell's domineering mother, Fanny (a suitably stern Kelly Bishop), and learns that not all the townsfolk are as welcoming as she might have hoped. Seeking refuge from the grown-ups, she checks out Fanny's backyard ballet studio and meets some of Fanny's teenage students. These include the sweet Boo (Kaitlyn Jenkins), who is a bit bigger than the typical ballerina and constantly being undermined by the smugly stick-thin Sasha (Julia Goldani Telles, a dancer by training and a real natural in her first acting job). It's immediately engaging fun, and Foster is well cast in the lead, being as likeable as she is adept at delivering lungfuls of rapid-fire dialogue. Tonight's impromptu dance numbers are little feel-good treats, and it's clear there's plenty of dramatic and comedic potential in the set-up of jaded pro Michelle trying to inspire the naive youngsters while educating them about the harsh realities of the dance business. There is also plenty of potential in Michelle's adult relationships, which are to change forever after the shock that ends this first episode. Bunheads comes from the wholesome ABC Family channel in the US, and looks set to be good family viewing. It certainly doesn't pretend that sex and death don't exist, but it handles such things well, being neither lurid nor overly antiseptic. It is well worth a look.
MythBusters: Jawsome Special, Discovery, 7.30pm
THE MythBusters team has done a whole lot of shark-related stuff over the years. Sadly, the conclusions they've drawn haven't always seemed reasonable. Take the experiment that ostensibly tests the notion that dogs attract sharks. Instead of using a real dog, they build a robot one and put that in the water, along with dog urine and faeces. It doesn't attract sharks. But wouldn't a real dog paddle differently? And mightn't real, stinky dog fur make a difference? Before you can comprehensively declare the dog-shark thing a ''myth busted'' - as Adam Savage does here - you really need to repeat the experiment many times with different breeds of real dogs and different species of shark in different places around the world at different times of the day and year. Otherwise, what you're doing is little better than sticking your hand out of the window on a sunny day and concluding that it never rains. Still, there's plenty of interesting stuff here, including tests of reputed shark repellents such as magnets and chilli, and of whether it really would have been possible to kill the shark from Jaws by shooting the scuba tank in its mouth.

This park, like the street on which it lies, honors Francis J. Barretto, a 19th century merchant who lived in the area. Many streets in Hunts Point bear the names of the wealthy families who owned large tracts of land there during the 18th and 19th centuries. Coster Street, two blocks away, is named for Barretto's wife, Julia Coster.
The original inhabitants of the area were the Weckguasgeek Native Americans, corn and tobacco farmers who called their land Quinnahung, or "planting neck." European settlers displaced the Weckguasgeek in the 17th century. They named the peninsula Hunts Point for Thomas Hunt who settled there in 1670. The newcomers built elaborate estates and farmed the land as well.

text: Terry was an amazing person. He was a few years ahead of me in school. Terry was the State Class "A" Champion in the 100-yd dash, 220-yd dash, and the 440-yd dash in 1967. He was the State Record Holder in the 440-yd dash with a time of 48.9 seconds. A four-year major letterman, he was a member of the medley team that won first place in the Regional meet his freshman year. Terry won the 100-yd dash, placed second in the 220, and his 880-relay team won first place in the league meet his sophomore year. The 880-relay team won first place six times, were second in the Regional meet, and fifth in the State meet. In 1966 he won the 100-yd dash five times and the 220-yd dash four times. He was NCKL Champion in the 100 and 220, and anchored the 880 team to a first place finish, plus got third in the broad jump. In the Regional meet he placed third in the 220, and ran on the 880 and mile relay teams that placed second and third. At the State meet he was fifth in the 220 and the 880-relay team won first place. In 1967, Terry was undefeated in the 100 and 220 dashes, and was beaten only once at the State indoor meet in the 440 dash. His victories included a first place finish in the 100 at the K.U. Relays, all classes. His best times were; 100 9.6 at Abilene; 220 21.3 (wind aided) in the State Preliminaries; and his State Record of 48.9 in the 440 at the meet in Salina. His 880 relay team tied the State Record of 1:30.6 in the State Preliminaries and lost only twice during the season. He was voted the first winner of the Bill Dotson Track and Field Award for the senior boy who did the most to promote track and field at Concordia High School. Back in Concordia Kansas the people will always remember Terry Householter

Here's some very unofficial and inexact scorekeeping on how the Eastern teams have fared through four days of free agency. I know, a lot is going to happen before the lockout, er, I mean, the season.
Teams listed in order of 2011-12 finish:
1) Rangers (same, and that's being optimistic and generous).
2) Boston (same, or worse if you consider the goalie leaving).
3) Florida (worse).
4) Pittsburgh (worse).
5) Philadelphia (worse).
6) New Jersey (much worse).
7) Washington (same, but worse in the forecast).
8) Ottawa (worse and woefully soft).
9) Buffalo (worse).
10) Tampa Bay (better).
11) Winnipeg (better).
12) Carolina (much better, because of pre-July 1 trade for Jordan Staal).
13) Toronto (same).
14) Islanders (worse).
15) Montreal (perhaps marginally better, mostly because of a new regime?)

Dog expected to make full recovery after alleged stabbing
The dog that was allegedly stabbed yesterday by her owner is expected to make a full recovery according to the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities said Saturday that the dog, "Little Bit," was treated for her injuries and was released to the Humboldt County Animal Shelter on Friday. Her owner, 43-year-old Westly Wright was arrested yesterday afternoon for felony animal cruelty. Wright told deputies that his dog had attacked another dog the day before and he felt it was necessary to kill her. He took the dog outside the home on Purdue Drive in Eureka and allegedly stabbed her once in the shoulder. Wright then fled the scene after neighbors called 911.
Deputies located Wright after about an hour of searching. During that time, South Bay Elementary School was placed on lock down due to its proximity to the area where they were searching.
Wright was booked into the Humboldt County Jail on $35,000 bail.

Andover Wine Circle
THE May meeting of the Andover Wine Circle was held at the Wellington Centre.
The chairman, Keith Helsdown, announced the dates of social functions to be held during the summer, which included the 'Chairman's Picnic' at Wherwell Cricket Grounds, the annual barbecue in the grounds of the Wellington Centre and a visit, in August, to Burbidges Bakery.
The winners of the homemade wine and cookery were announced, these being: red dry wine, John Olden; red sweet wine, Hazel Aldridge; white dry wine, Chris Olden; white sweet wine, John Olden; social wine, Hazel Aldridge; liqueur wine, Keith Helsdown and bitter beer, lager and stout, all won by John Olden.
Cooking: starter, Anne-Marie Firth and dessert, Joy Borrett.
The speaker for the evening was Nigel Knott, who told of his experiences as a customs officer at the Port of Dover. Methods used to import wines, spirits and drugs using the cross channel route and to beat customs duty was most interesting and also the efforts and methods used for detection by Customs and Excise. Some of the efforts used to avoid detection were very ingenious. The speaker was warmly applauded for his informative talk.
Certificated were then presented to all the competition winners by the president, D Borrett, and the evening closed with the monthly raffle

Water works
To get higher billing and receivables cycle speeds, Greater Vancouver Regional District upgraded its data historian, resulting in savings, efficiency, and improved service to its customers.
The Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) is in the quality-of-life business for our residents, overseeing aspects of drinking water, wastewater, air quality, social housing and parks. We arent after profitability; rather we are after reducing costs and improving how people live. Because of this, it was necessary for us to focus on building a sustainable region that could be maintained whether the population of the area stays at 2 million or grows to 3 million in the next 15 years, as is estimated.
To do this, we needed an enterprise-level data historian that would enable us to collect, analyze, report and integrate control system data and information to corporate systems and other lines of business. In 2005, we rolled the OSIsoft PI data collection and distribution engine into production. This gave us the foundation for successful enterprise business integration.
Business Challenges
The business challenges of creating a cohesive, working unit out of the GVRD was four-fold: dealing with disparate systems and data, replacing obsolete systems, preparing for ever-changing environments and acquiring real-time access to information across the organization. Each issue presented a separate set of challenges, solutions and benefits that were directly addressed by introducing OSIsofts technology and services.
GVRD manager, corporate applications, Gary L. S. Wong, says the OSIsoft data historian upgrade has speeded up GVRDs billing and receivables cycle, earning the company an additional $500,000 a year in interest.
The solution was as simple as adding just one OSIsoft PI V3.4 server to manage all control-system data. This allowed for a common user interface using the ProcessBook graphics module, the DataLink report creator and RtWebParts, which allows users to access information via the SharePoint Portal Server. In addition, users were able to access a web portal using Microsoft SharePoint across the entire organization. GVRD used MS BizTalk and the PI SDK software development kit for data and application integration, which simplified the entire process.
This simple implementation eliminated the need to standardize control or other disparate systems, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars. Deferring the replacement of our wastewater treatment plant control systems (which have a remaining product life of at least 10 years) will save $250,000 per year based on a cost of capital of 5%.
Employees now know where and how to find information, a change that can be felt across the organization. Our IT department fields fewer requests for tutorial and information. By using the OSIsoft platform, our organization only needed to learn one system that incorporated familiar Microsoft tools, making for faster implementation and adoption.
Replacing Obsolete Systems
Prior to implementing the OSIsoft solution, we had eight proprietary historians across four wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The organization was also facing imminent failure of an obsolete and cumbersome billing system responsible for managing $165 million per year in revenue from water sales and wastewater treatment. The billing system was not only out of date, but also slowa consistent two-month delay for the finance department to receive preliminary billing information caused internal and customer dissatisfaction. In addition, the billing system cost more than $100,000 a year for support and maintenance.
We replaced the system with PI redundant-pair buffer nodes at each of four WWTPs, sending data back to a single corporate OSIsoft PI server. The Corporate Historian Reporting and Information System (codename CHRIS) is based on PI Enterprise, PI SDK, .Net and Microsoft Office. In short, the entire billing application was rewritten with zero downtime on production systems and no lag. The move saved $285,000 on licensing fees alone. Support and maintenance costs are also projected to be reduced by 70%.
In addition, more than 100 GB of data needed for billing, previously stored in a Sybase system, was converted to just 6 GB in OSIsoft PI. This accelerated our data, and the finance department now receives billing information in near-real time, allowing for accurate budget forecasting and more accurate and faster billing. By speeding up our billing and receivables cycle by one month, were able to earn an extra $500,000 per year in interest. The organization also benefits, as quality assurance and quality control are no longer headaches, since all data is available in real time and includes an audit trail.
Preparing for Ever-Changing Environments
The SCADA system needed to be replaced by 2007/2008, and data continuity was needed for water distribution and wastewater collection. Water operations optimization also demanded simulations, forecasting and predictive modeling requiring operational and process data. The new water filtration plant also needs to be online in 2008 and ready for up to 40,000 new tags. Finally, OSIsofts solutions are based on the MS Office platform, and Office System 2007 was in pilot version, therefore the portal and desktop were evolving.

I need some help troubleshooting airodump-ng. I'm running the aircrack-ng suite on an Eeepc running Ubuntu 8.04.1.
When I run kismet, it detects several local wireless networks. But airodump-ng detects nothing at all. This is despite the fact that I've killed the processes identified by airmon-ng check as potential problems.
The thing is, airodump-ng was working just fine when I first installed it, a fortnight ago. This problem appeared in the past week. And, as a complete aircrack-ng newbie, I don't have the first idea of how to go about troubleshooting this problem.
All help gratefully received!

Widely acclaimed as one of the leading architects of his generation, Rafael Viñoly is renowned for his elegant and expressive use of structural form and modern materials such as glass and steel. His work also reflects sensitivity to context and an intuitive understanding of how to respond to a specific site—attributes that made him an ideal choice for the Cleveland Museum of Art's building renovation and expansion project. In this video interview with the architect, Viñoly explains his vision behind his redesign of the CMA, reflecting upon which parts of its story to rewrite and which parts to keep.

On Sunday evening, four planes covered the remaining 226,000 acres to complete the first round of application in those areas of Dallas County participating in aerial spraying. Weather permitting, five planes will apply a second round of insecticide tonight to the entire target area of 362,328 acres.
Spraying will begin at 9 p.m. today in the city of Dallas, earlier in other participating cities. Residents in all neighborhoods of Dallas should expect spraying to occur sometime between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m.
Since the insecticide Duet only kills adult mosquitoes, the second round of spraying is intended to kill larvae that have hatched since the first spraying.
Representatives from the Centers for Disease Control will be in North Texas this week, surveying and analyzing the region's efforts to combat the West Nile Virus and will make recommendations on how to proceed.
"Now that the aerial assault is showing positive preliminary results, we need to expand our assault on the ground and enlist residents to join the fight by draining standing water to cut off mosquito breeding grounds," Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said in a release. "It only takes a little soil, compost or a few leaves, and water that stands stagnant for 1-2 weeks, to breed mosquitoes."

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. - Assistant Strength and Conditioning coach Cristi Bartlett set an American Record on the deadlift as part of an impressive performance at the 2013 USA Powerlifting (USAPL) New Jersey State Championships.
Bartlett deadlifted 507 pounds, setting a new mark for women in the 198lb./90kg. category in the "Raw" category which is contested without the use of bench shirts and squat/deadlift suits.
In addition to her deadlift record, Bartlett posted marks of 369 pounds in the squat and 253 in the bench press, resulting in her selection as "Best Lifter" at the meet.
"I'd like to thank Coach Steel for writing my programs which have led to this record," Bartlett said. "I am excited to share this award with my coworkers at Penn and the tremendous student-athletes I am honord to work with each day. I look forward to helping the Quakers improve in their respective sports this season."

I have seen a few simple implementations of a metronome in python but usually did not like some things (eg. the use of Tkinter, or necessity of having /dev/dsp, etc.)
I'd like to write my own simple CLI metronome. Could you recommend what I should use for generating the tick sound? Any library that would produce/play the sound in very precise intervals. Ideally something supported in/by python3.x and alsa.
Thank you
