reasons why this is the most important show on television
(Source: fuckyeahrupaulsdragrace)
A few pics from last week, testing out some things for crossplay. Was trying out a new lipstick, lip gloss and lip brush, wanting to take the result shots to see how it turned out. I know I didn't do anything additional to my face but this was just a lip test since I actually haven't done my own makeup before so I went into this a little nervous.
Lipstick = MAC (Brave Red)
Lip Gloss = Buxom (Samantha)
Lip Brush = Just a basic brush, ended up buying a better brush from MAC today

This is my nephew. Just in case it escaped your attention, he is dressed as Belle from Beauty and the Beast.
Yesterday I was out for lunch with some of my family, including my nephew who I hadn't seen for a few months. He was very excited to see me and I was him.
As soon as we sat in the restaurant, he started pulling out some princess figurines (which he had amusingly named Rihanna and Gaga), and he was explaining to me how beautiful they were. He told me he wished he could be as beautiful as them even though he was a boy.
This kind of comment was nothing new for him.
After we all started eating, I noticed he was facing away from us. He turned around with a tear rolling down his cheek and refused to say what was wrong. This was very out of character for him. He was usually so attention seeking and theatrical, and incredibly intelligent for his age.
After a while he put his head into his arms on the table and started crying a lot more. I leaned into him and asked what was wrong again.
He whispered really quietly to me "I don't want to be weird."
I responded to him saying "Weird? I'm weird. Weird is good, weird is different!"
"But I don't want to be different, it's wrong," he replied through tear-stained fingers.
Angry, I started "Let me tell you what's wrong. You are five years old and people are already telling you what you should and shouldn't say. Or what you should and shouldn't wear. You're crying because somebody decided what boys are supposed to do and what girls are supposed to do, and nobody should differ from that. Well, let me tell you a little something about normal…
It used to be normal to laugh at people because they had different coloured skin. It used to be normal to bully somebody if they were a boy and they loved another boy, or a girl who loved another girl. It used to be normal to pick on someone for being too fat or too skinny. It used to be normal to pick on different, and the worst part is that a lot of that stuff is still going on.
Why would you want to be normal, you're extraordinary! If anybody tells you that you can't be a beautiful princess, you put on that fucking dress because you are beautiful and you are a little weird, but nobody normal ever made a fucking bit of difference in the world. You wear whatever the hell you want, and like whatever the hell you like, because it's people like you that are going to make a real, lasting change.
The world needs a lot more weird and a lot less normal."
And he understood exactly what I meant. He lunged in for a hug and kissed me on the cheek before uttering under his breath "What does 'fucking' mean?"
I love that kid more than I've ever loved anything. Don't make his generation fight our battles.
Shaming of every variety needs to end now, we should be celebrating different, not condemning it. Not just for society as it is now, but for society as it will be.
How many more tears do we need our children to cry?"Don't make his generation fight our battles."
this is like the realist shit ever

I think Dick is enjoying Peeg's costume a little too much.
I think this works for me. =)
This is the best.
If you don't like it, you can go fuck yourself.
People who do not think this is AWESOME are wrong <3
I thought people might get a kick out of this piece, especially of Karen's Nightwing look. :D
i am super in love with that Karen.
Dick just loves showing off his newly-shaved legs.

IN RESPONSE TO THIS POST: http://wow-lawbringer.blogspot.com/2013/09/my-life-as-villain-of-cosplay.html
What if I told you those judgmental Doctor Who cosplayers were plants? That Syfy told them they needed to cause drama with some of the cast so it would be a more interesting…
Um, no.
Take a lesson, kids: this is how NOT to respond to something said about you on the internet, true or false, right or wrong.
Going on the defensive means you have something to defend. Lack of rebuttal, ploys for sympathy, saying, "I was gonna let it go, but I just can't" … all the while, missing the original point (which in this case included some very pointed criticism of the entire debacle, none of which is addressed here).
I think what killed it dead was when one of the so called "victims" proclaimed that Stephen Moffat would be ashamed these Doctor Who girls only went to "one convention a year." How many of you can barely make it to one convention a year? How many of you work shit jobs day in, day out, for shit pay, dreaming of that one tiny weekend where you and your friends can enjoy time together in your chosen fandom?
The entitlement of the asshole in question … you *dare* make people feel ashamed that they can't afford to globetrot constantly to go to conventions? No fan should do that to another. No one who is *truly* part of a community should ever feel the need to make someone hurt because they like so many people are just fighting to get by from paycheck to paycheck. The fact they took the time and effort to make it to even one convention in the face of all that tells me just who exactly should be ashamed here.
Should be, but isn't. You didn't dig this hole, Chloe, but you sure are determined to see how close to China you can get …
Sorry, I lost the lesson in the sea of hypocrisy and double standards.
I'm seeing a lot of people responding to the most recent Heroes of Cosplay post in defense of the show saying that the show should be allowed to compete in whatever contest they like and that they still had to pay their own way to conventions.
The problem is that that's NOT the issue we're…
Furthermore, sure, it's to be expected that reality shows pick the most dramatic people, edit things to make things seem more dramatic, etc. But to outright manipulate the way things ACTUALLY function is disgusting. Each of the conventions that the show attended had their cosplay staff get asked to completely alter the way their shows function solely for the sake of the show, and in the case of Anime Matsuri, if I understand my friends who know the people who run the cosplay show correctly, many staff members were trying to fight the ridiculous changes that would suddenly give TV show members an unfair advantage or have other cosplayers at the last minute not participate in the masquarade, but were extremely stressed, saddened, and angered when there was nothing they could do about it. From personal knowledge and experience not only of cosplay and cosplayers but also of how conventions fundamentally function, as well as all the first-person accounts coming about about how people were treated and how shows were crazy manipulated, I also agree - Cons should not accept the producers of this show again, people should not participate, and we should not watch. Good riddance, SyFy.
Normally I like the two of you but this is not the right approach and going to disagree. This pretty much makes ALL parties look bad. This is turning into one whole Marvel Civil War (minus the whole registration act)

Exenatide yields beta cell improvement and weight loss in individuals with diabetes but has not been well-studied in individuals with prediabetes....
We recruited healthy volunteers with BMI 25-37 kg/m2 with prediabetes as defined by FBG 100-125 mg/dl or 2hr glucose 141-199 mg/dL on screening OGTT. Insulin-mediated glucose uptake was quantified with the modified insulin suppression test with steady-state plasma glucose concentrations (SSPG). Beta cell function was calculated using the insulinogenic index (ΔI/ΔG).
Subjects were randomized, double-blind, to exenatide (EX), 10 mcg BID, or placebo (P) for 30wks. All subjects took a hypocaloric diet with biweekly oversight by study dietitians for 18wk. During the last 12wks, no dietary counseling was provided.
We hypothesized that individuals assigned to EX would experience greater increase in insulin secretion, weight loss, and improved insulin sensitivity than the P group. 68 subjects were randomized and 10 dropped out. At baseline, subjects were NS different with regard to mean age, BMI(33 kg/m2), sex, SSPG, or insulinogenic index. EX and P subjects had lost 8.8 and 7.8% of initial body weight at 18wks and 8.9 and 8.1%,at 30wks respectively (NS between groups).
Despite reduction in insulin resistance, beta cell function increased in the EX group (ΔI/ΔG 1.4 to 1.6). In the P group, beta cell function decreased (2.3 to 2.0) (p=0.13). Insulin resistance decreased significantly in both groups, and was correlated with weight loss (r=0.46, p<0.01). FBG decreased but was NS in both groups. 2hr glucose decreased significantly in both groups, reverting from IGT to NGT on average (NS between groups). Change in FBG was predicted by % weight loss, whereas change in 2hr glucose was predicted by change in insulinogenic index.
In conclusion, obese prediabetic subjects assigned to EX plus hypocaloric diet lose weight, improve insulin sensitivity, and revert from IGT to NGT. Insulin resistance and FBG decrease in proportion to weight loss, whereas 2 hr glucose decreases in proportion to insulinogenic index. Despite reduction in insulin resistance, beta cell function increased with EX, but not P. Otherwise, intensive dietary management alone appears to yield comparable results to EX plus diet.

One of my goals for 2011 was to read 20 MG books (books intended for children 8-12 years old), because that's what I write. I needed to see what was out there, and learn from published authors about what works and what doesn't.
I've exceeded my goal by reading twice as many books as I had planned! That's a great feeling. I wish I could say the same thing about my goal to post on my blog once a week. *ahem* Enough said.

I really loved Slob, by Ellen Potter, Stargirl, by Jerry Spinelli, and of course, Truth Teller, by my dear friend Kurt Chambers, which you will all be able to read after its release date, January 25th, 2012. So excited!! Kurt has been one of my critique partners for the last two years, and has helped me tremendously with my own book. I'm so happy that his book is getting published. I have read and reviewed every chapter, and I'm now doing a final read through. I have to say, this book is very special to me. But enough about that for now. I'll review this book as part of Kurt's blog tour, in an upcoming post. Stay tuned!

Olympic champ Miller pregnant
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP)
Two years after discovering she had a rare form of ovarian cancer, Olympic champion gymnast Shannon Miller is expecting her second child.
World's best gymnasts pointed all their efforts toward gold at London Olympics. View photosMiller is due this summer. She and husband John Falconetti also have a 3-year-old son, Rocco.
The most decorated gymnast in U.S. history was hoping to get pregnant again when doctors discovered a germ cell malignancy, a form of ovarian cancer, in late 2010. Germ cell malignancies are not the same as what most people think of as ovarian cancer, generally occurring in teenagers and women under 30. But the consequences can be just as dire. The ovary with the tumor was removed in January 2011, and Miller then had nine weeks of chemotherapy. She says she is now cancer-free.
Miller is a two-time world all-around champion. She won seven Olympic medals and nine at the world championships.

Peter Som Fall 2012
Katharine Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich served as Peter Som's inspiration for his Fall 2012 collection — specifically, their knack for exuding femininity even when they donned menswear. The show started with a pretty ode to Winter white — monochromatic outfits got a textural punch thanks to cool fabric combinations like wool with organza. The play between masculine and feminine came through via tailoring and textures: streamlined silhouettes were softened with details like eyelet and bonded satin. There were strong sculptural references in the ultra-fitted tops that suddenly burst into waves of peplum, and wrap jackets structured with molded balloon sleeves. And what of the glamour that Hollywood icons like Hepburn and Dietrich were famous for? It came through in the luxe furs, particularly a teal fur coat over a twill voile pant that glimmered under the runway lights.
- Trends: Multicolored fur, balloon sleeves, peplum, architectural silhouettes.
- Colors: Plum, emerald, ivory, ruby.
- Key Piece: The peplum tops are a must have for their mix of fantastic tailoring and femininity.
- Accessories: Aperlai did the shoes, including two-tone pumps.
- Who Would Wear It: Olivia Palermo sat front row, and we bet she'll be wearing the peplum tops next season. Confident, fashion-loving girls who crave a statement piece will dig this collection.
Peter Som Fall 2012
Melding sculptural tailoring with soft details, Peter Som played with the differences between masculine and feminine aesthetics for his Fall collection. He cited Katharine Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich, Hollywood icons who mastered menswear, as muses for the clothing. "I wanted to convey a sense of strength and beauty — this collection is about a streamlined and bold silhouette with lots of textural mixes inspired by John Chamberlain and Brancusi." Balloon-sleeved wrap jackets and peplum tops gave pieces a sculptural feel, while the use of organza and fur offered Som fans more glamorous options.
Red Carpet to Real Life: Rachel McAdams Pops in Peter Som Florals
There were lots of gorgeously glammed-up ladies at the LA premiere of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island last night, but one look at Rachel McAdams in her floral Peter Som number and it's obvious who stole the fashion spotlight. How can you not in that slitted floral maxi skirt? It's such an obvious stunner. And we love how the blue tee lends a relaxed air to the red-carpet look. While this ensemble would no doubt turn heads wherever you go, it's not an easy one to pull off in your everyday life. So let's create a more casual version by pairing a bright blue tee with a pair of equally fabulous floral pants, blue pointy pumps (hers are Jimmy Choo's Anouk pump), and a matching blue clutch. Or if you already have a floral maxi skirt in your closet, try wearing it with a matching solid tee to get Rachel's same floral fabulousness.
Celeb Style: Rachel McAdams Stuns in Peter Som Florals
Showing off Peter Som's Spring-ready maxi at the LA premiere of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, Rachel McAdams joined the circle of style setters loving florals. It's not just the print that made us swoon, but the perfect play of proportions and brilliant blue palette we love. Rachel paired Som's understated knit top with the gorgeous full-length print and a few pretty accoutrements to glam up the look for an evening out — though we love that a skirt and top like this could work just as easily with flats and a slouchy tote for day. Feeling florals? Shop our key picks to channel the same stunning style.
Peter Som Pre-Fall 2012
>> Peter Som culled influence from '70s film The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and Wallis Simpson for Pre-Fall 2012, resulting in an assortment of prim separates steeped in cheeky Surrealist edge. Lean trousers, mod jackets, crewneck sweaters, and pleated frocks — Som staples — were done up in leather, lipstick-brights, houndstooth, and two knockout prints: a large-scale floating jewel pattern and a sunset floral ocelot. "It's a ladylike approach to dressing, but a little undone," Som explained.
The Most Outrageous Trend of the Year Is . . . Gorilla Sleeves!
Peter Som Talks East Coast vs. West Coast Style, and Holiday Indulgences
Encompassing a penchant for laid-back elegance, Peter Som has left the industry smitten with his effortlessly beautiful gowns and separates. With fans ranging from FLOTUS Michelle Obama to celebs like Eva Mendes, it's safe to say the San Francisco native has created a buzz worth talking about. Most recently, the designer teamed up with Rent the Runway to offer a few of his party dresses and shared with us his holiday season indulgences, thoughts on East Coast vs. West Coast style, and celebrities he would like to dress. Listen up:
On East Coast vs. West Coast style: "It's all about the ease and nonchalance of West Coast style mixed with the high-impact glamour of East Coast dressing. In other words — never look like you've tried too hard (even if you did!)."On celebrities he would like to dress: "There are so many women who inspire me for their talent, spirit, and confidence! I'd love to dress Cate Blanchett."
On his favorite indulgent holiday treat: "I love cooking and baking so it would have to be my Panettone bread pudding."
On the best and worst presents he ever received: "All presents are great if there's thought behind them."
Holiday Gift Ideas From Some of Our Favorite Fashion Insiders
>> They're making their lists — and checking them twice. Here come the holidays, and who better to spread the cheer than some of our favorite fashionable insiders? From the super-luxe accessories topping Melissa Coker's and Leandra Medine's lists to the souped-up sporting goods desired by Yigal Azrouel and Peter Som, here's a look at what those in the know are coveting this season. See who's hoping for Burberry, who's hoping for Hermes, and who's just hoping for some sleep — plus, glean gift-giving ideas from Anna Sheffield, Lauren Bush Lauren, Derek Lam, Stephanie LaCava, and more — all here, in the slideshow.
From the Runway to You: Peter Som's Travel Kit Is Pretty Posh
Included are: two Ultra-Rich Lip Tints; Ultra Rich Lip Balm; deluxe samples of Smoothing Marine Cream and Intense Radiance Mask; and sample packs of Nourishing Youth Serum and Anti-Puff Eye Cream. Not only is it one pretty, posh deal, but the set would make the perfect stocking stuffer for you or someone else.

I am a young twenty-something practically tethered to the Internet, as most young twenty-somethings are. And, don't get me wrong, the Internet is great. It's fantastic. Seriously, it's just plain wonderful. I can't imagine life without it and the idea that the Internet wasn't actually around at some point in my own lifetime is mind-boggling, to say nothing of the fact that the generations before me somehow grew up without it. (I heard they used some kind of "p-mail.")
But I hate Twitter. I reserve for Twitter one of the greatest, purest hatreds: not one borne out of anger or emotion, but one borne out of philosophy. I do not hate Twitter in the way that I hate stubbing my toe, or in the way that I hate Tracy Morgan. I hate Twitter in the same way that, say, Copernicus hated geocentrism. I'm not being irrational or hysterical – it is just that Twitter is so thoroughly wrong and so prolifically wrong that its very existence undermines our otherwise rational and mostly progressive society.
Let me first say that I do not hate those who use Twitter. I understand that, for most people, Twitter is just the next iteration of the MySpace/LiveJournal/BullShit social networking superfad that threatens to engulf the planet. I understand that most people use Twitter casually and without malice. I understand that most Twitter users do not believe that they can cause so much damage in 140 characters or less. These people I understand, and I can hate them no more than I can hate the average sixteenth century peasant for believing that the sun revolves around the earth. So don't feel insulted.
I am not the first person to hate on Twitter, and I am sure the reasons are obvious. Twitter is the epitome of the current wave of Web 2.0 content, which can be essentially summarized as the following:
"Everybody cares what I had for lunch today."
It doesn't matter where you are or what you're eating – if you're connected to the Internet or to a phone (a distinction that will greatly date this essay within six months), you're able to tell dozens if not hundreds of people what you just crammed down your throat. Someone could be stranded in the middle of the Amazon Jungle, surviving off maggots and tiger meat, and they would still find a way to tweet "Blegh! Tiger meat again!" And somehow this would make tiger fighting completely boring.
Of course, at this point many readers will wag their finger and object, "Ah, but my Twitter is better than that. I tweet about interesting things in my life, and [worse yet] I tweet hilarious jokes!" Others might object that many celebrities, writers, and other important figures have interesting Twitters that are worth following. Some others might object that, even if Twitter is nothing more than a boring account of people's day-to-day lives, it's still worth reading.
I could respond to all such comments with a simple and deserved "shut up," but in the interest of argument I will point out three facts.
One: your Twitter is not interesting or funny, and you are no better than people who tweet about their sandwiches.
Two: I have never read a good or funny Twitter from a celebrity, even if the celebrity is a person I otherwise enjoy.
Three: whatever utility Twitter might have as a small-scale personal diary or communication cloud is negated by Twitter's tendency to clog up with @ replies and other nonsense.
Again, I don't hate Twitter users. I understand where they come from. Blogs proved too involved and unwieldy for the average user. Writing a cogent journal entry is too time-intensive and obviously boring. Twitter, on the other hand, not only allows you to limit yourself to trivial bullshit, but mandates you limit yourself to trivial bullshit. Nobody is worried about standards or being interesting when they only have 140 characters to work with. And when even professional comedians are tweeting about dinner, you don't have to worry about other Twitters making yours look bad.
If I sound angry, I am not. My position on Twitter is one of utmost composure and cool reason. I simply believe it is the worst thing happening in the world right now. I believe that the once great dream of an Internet with honest-to-god content has been lost. If modern web design means that breaking news comes through Twitter in between "Mm, a BLT" and "@tweetfan22 I had macaroni too!" then I want no part in the Internet of tomorrow. Just leave me be and I will return to Web 1.0 and publish through GeoCities.
I hold out some hope, though. I hold out hope that our collective intellects will win out in the end and people will snap out of this tweet-induced siren song. I believe that there is the real potential for there to exist some day an Internet with communities of substantial content and the free flow of ideas expounded on rather than excreted. I believe that, some day, perhaps even the most vigorous tweeters will come to realize just how erosive they are.
Because nobody cares what you had for lunch.
And, oh, no Tigers in the Amazon. Could Twitter that but don't care to.
We're all guilty of navel-gazing. I think that's best limited to 140 words instead of exposes on blogs.
Microblogging is fantastic for ideas that don't need to be stretched to over 500 words. Unfortunately, lots of people blog about issues that don't even deserve to be microblogged. And lots of microblogging is dreck.
Sniffing at microblogging, to me, is no different than other forms of intellectual snobbery.
I just joined Twitter a few days ago. I enjoy it, but haven't yet figured out the point. Except of my tweets, of course, which are interesting and funny - nay, brilliant and haunting and endlessly entertaining.
Some celebs are interesting. They may be in the south of France or riding around with a stunt double. Since my friends are not doing any of that stuff, I like reading about it. It's kind of cool.
Do I post what I'm eating? Not so much. I do occasionally like reading about what others have eaten. Shrimp cocktail? Oh, great idea. I haven't had that in a while. I think I'll have some. What's wrong with that?
For me the key point is to not follow anybody you find boring. Whatever boring is to you. Self-promotion = boring. This is the "I'm-on-letterman-tonight bunch.
And if you don't want to, you don't have to post anything about yourself. Just read it. Or not. Twitter, like almost everything in life, is not for everyone.
I even wrote my very own over 140 character blog post (old school way) on how I Truly Hate Twitter: http://www.benjitao.com/2009/04/i-truly-hate-twitter/
I saw that one of the train companies lets you know of any delays on Twitter which, I hate to admit it, seems to have a point.
If you want to post little coments about what you are doing each minute you can do it in other sites.
P.S.: there are no tigers in Amazon Jungle =P
On the other hand such things like tweeter gives a tendency and habit even to those who don`t like primitive conversations.

MB Financial Bank Named a 2013 National Top Workplace
Chicago, IL, Feb 13, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- MB Financial Bank announced today that it has been named one of the top 150 National Top Workplaces by WorkplaceDynamics. MB Financial Bank, with more than 1,700 employees participated in a regional Chicago area top workplaces program and was ranked #10 in the large company category.
Story continues below ↓
The National Top Workplaces list was determined solely by feedback gathered through an objective employee survey. The survey was conducted by WorkplaceDynamics, LLP, the leading on-demand employee survey provider, in conjunction with 30 leading regional newspapers. MB Financial Bank participated in Chicago Tribune's Top Workplaces 2012 program.
The survey uses a proprietary set of 22 questions to rank companies. The survey data showed that employees most want to work at companies with high levels of organizational health. Companies that set a clear direction for their future; execute well; and bring real meaning to work are the healthiest.
Employees speak for themselves at MB Financial Bank.
"Every day I work with outstanding banking professionals who believe in the company and its leadership and strive to make a difference. I am also encouraged to think creatively and make decisions," observed one of the MB employees who participated in the WorkplaceDynamics survey. Another mentioned, "Such a great work environment! New ideas are always welcomed and encouraged, and everyone has a voice." This is exactly the kind of empowering climate the folks at WorkplaceDynamics wanted to acknowledge and inspire when they established the National Top Workplaces survey in 2006. As the company explains on its Web site (
"We set out to recognize the very best organizations through Top Workplaces lists. We hoped that by championing good practice, we could encourage more companies to work better. Now, almost a decade later, thousands of organizations participate in the program with a million people completing the employee survey annually." About MB Financial Bank MB Financial Bank's holding company, MB Financial, Inc., is traded on the NASDAQ as "MBFI." MB Financial has approximately $9.6 billion in assets. MB Financial Bank is a locally-operated financial institution that has been delivering competitive personalized service for over 100 years to businesses and individuals who live and work in the Chicago metropolitan area.
About WorkplaceDynamics Founded in 2006, WorkplaceDynamics is the fastest-growing employee survey provider in the United States. Based on their "on-demand" employee survey, last year they surveyed more than 5,000 organizations, polled 1.7 million people and handled over a million employee responses.

A Rose Polytechnic Institute (now Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology) alumnus will soon be reunited with a class ring he lost three decades ago after it was found at a New York junk yard.
And the story of this ring — lost and found — crosses state lines.
Last month, Eric Sperger of Saranac Lake, N.Y., contacted Rose-Hulman's Alumni Affairs via email and told the office that he found a ring with the Institute's name, the initials "CMK" and the year 1969.
"I thought there was a good chance we could find the owner," Sperger said.
"I just thought it was the right thing to do," he added.
With these clues, Jim Bertoli, executive director of Alumni Affairs at Rose-Hulman said he did a search on the alumni database and found a match.
There is only one person with the initials "CMK" who graduated in 1969: It was Charles M. Kruse.
Bertoli said it was nice "being the bearer of good news" when he contacted Kruse about the ring using the information in the alumni database.
"The fun thing about this job is reconnecting people," he said.
He added that he enjoys "helping people reconnect back to the Institute."
Kruse, who now lives in Dayton, Ohio, said he "was very much surprised to hear about it."
He said he was not entirely sure how he lost the ring...or where. But he has some ideas.
One of them is the possibility of losing it at a local YMCA in upstate New York. Kruse said he lived in Ithaca, NY in the mid-70s, around the same time he lost the ring.
This possibility seem to match up with Sperger's story about how the ring came into his possession.
Sperger said the class ring was among items that his 72-year-old father-in-law, who operated a junk yard 10 miles South of Ithaca, NY, asked him to sell or discard.
He spoke of how his father-in-law often found personal items while cleaning out the junked cars he bought, and has collected them over the years. The business closed its doors in the mid-90s.
The ring "somehow ended up in a junked car," Sperger said.
He added that he is "almost 100% sure" that's how his father-in-law found the ring.
Regardless of the details, Kruse is just happy to have his ring back.
It was a "special memento" from the school, one he paid for himself.
"Obviously, Rose is an important part of my life," Kruse, who attended Rose Polytechnic Institute in 1965-1969 and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, said.
So important that he uses his year of graduation and the school's initials "RPI" as part of his e-mail address.
Kruse credits the degree he received from the school for the "comfortable lifestyle" he enjoys.
After speaking with Kruse, Bertoli said he thinks "Chuck is very proud of the fact that he is a graduate of Rose."
Bertoli said the ring will be sent to Kruse via certified mail.
Kruse is looking forward to having it back after all these years.
"Hopefully it will fit," he said.

There's something about Justin Trudeau with his sideways smiles, V-necks and ladies' night that reminds me of smarmy men from my past. That connection is hard to break, even though as a friend recently pointed out, he's probably the politician who best reflects my views. As with our personal relationships, we are often blind to our favourite politicians' faults. We defend them when others bring up their shortcomings -- "You don't know the real Barack!" -- rather than accept the facts. That's why it stung so much when I recently read a piece in the Globe and Mail titled "From messiah to lame duck: How Barack Obama fell to earth."
Depending on with whom you speak, the truth is a) Rob Ford is the victim of a media attack the likes of which has never been witnessed in Toronto, including unjustified intrusion on his private property, or b) Rob Ford is the author of all of his problems. I would say both of the above contain truth and that all of the following are true, in my opinion.
Out here on the road, we're getting laughed at for being Torontonians. Thanks, Rob Ford. There's nothing else to do but dive in with these jesters and join them so with all the downtime that is afforded to us during the day while on tour I've managed to assemble a few homemade memes at Rob Ford's expense.
Google Rob Ford and you're met with the latest on the "Crackgate Scandal." In what can only be described as a whirlwind of chaos, Toronto's Mayor is in the news again with another bizarre allegation. What needs to happen next is that the Mayor should address the allegations head-on then move on. What Toronto needs to do is start vetting potential Mayoral candidates for 2014 as Ford has made it clear that he'll be running again. When you honestly think about it, our standards are not that high when it comes to politicians; we need to raise the bar.

Oil powers ahead of the field
Review of the year
Sunday 29 December 1996
The sector has also been helped by some strong individual success stories. After several years in the wilderness, Lasmo (+31.3 per cent) has recovered some of its poise, to become a darling of the stock market, coupled with an excellent exploration story.
There has been recurrent takeover speculation throughout the year, with the bid by Canada's Gulf Resources for Clyde Petroleum (+104.3 per cent) earlier this month giving the sector a final end-of-season fillip.
Support services is the closest approximation in the UK to a general high-tech sector, embracing as it does stocks such as Logica (+98.6 per cent), with a fine performance, and Sage, the accountancy software supplier, and Sema, another computer services business.
Finally, leisure, boosted to a large extent by the daddy of the sector, Granada, was still on a roll after its Forte acquisition. The prices it has secured for some of its hotel disposals also boosted other hotel stocks in the sector. It also includes football, another great white hope, as the jackpot promised by digital television and pay-per-view draws nearer.
On the down side, there were probably no surprises. Investors in textiles had an appalling year, with the sector down 26.27 per cent (33.4 per cent against the index), as British manufacturers once again succumbed to an onslaught of foreign competition.
Diversified industrials, another term for that most out-of-fashion stock market concept, the conglomerate, were also friendless. While for the canny investor a number of shares performed well, the sector was marred by the likes of Hanson, (-32 per cent) and Tomkins (-4 per cent).
Tobaccos, now comprising two shares, BAT, and Imperial Tobacco, were the subject of recurring litigation fears.

text: Private Fears in Public Places 12 Alain Resnais (2006) Fr / It (SUB) 120 min Share: Film Review Reviewed By David Parkinson 4 out of 5 Dividing the action into 50 short scenes, director Alain Resnais has made a cinematic virtue of the theatrical limitations of Alan Ayckbourn's stage study of six people in search of love. Serving as a metaphor for the Parisian protagonists' self-contained lives, the scenes flit between lonely heart Isabelle Carré, her estate agent brother André Dussollier, his bickering clients Laura Morante and Lambert Wilson, and his demure assistant Sabine Azéma. The latter's religious façade is undermined by the contents of the half-wiped video cassette she loans Dussollier and by her treatment of bartender Pierre Arditi's cantankerous, bed-ridden father. Jacques Saulnier and Solange Zeitoun's beautifully photographed sets (the cinematographer is Eric Gautier) are filled with partitions that reinforce the physical and psychological barriers that prevent these characters from expressing their repressed emotions. Revisiting such key Resnais themes as memory, time, identity and isolation, this minor gem is formally fascinating, cerebral and compassionate. Plot Summary Romantic comedy drama based on Alan Ayckbourn's play, starring Sabine Azéma and André Dussollier. Six lovelorn Parisians are so wrapped up in their own lives that they fail to notice how close they come to connecting. Cast and crew Cast Charlotte Sabine Azéma Thierry André Dussollier Dan Lambert Wilson Lionel Pierre Arditi Nicole Laura Morante Gaëlle Isabelle Carré Arthur Claude Rich Host Françoise Gillard Presenter Anne Kessler Soldier poet Roger Mollien Crew Director Alain Resnais Other Information Language: French +subtitles Colour Theatrical distributor: Artificial Eye Guidance: Contains brief swearing, sexual references.

The Monkees
In 1965, over 400 people responded to an ad seeking young men for a new television show about a rock group called The Monkees. The Monkees, starring Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork premiered on September 12, 1966, and audiences adored the humorous antics of the band. Though made for TV, The Monkees had real-life hits and struggled against their "Pre-Fab Four" image. Some of their best-loved and number one hits included Neil Diamond's "I'm a Believer" and "Last Train to Clarksville." More successful singles followed, including another Neil Diamond song, "Little Bit Me, Little Bit You," Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "Pleasant Valley Sunday", and "Daydream Believer" by John Stewart of the Kingston Trio.

Cheap places to shop in Singapore
We often hear how Singapore is a shopping paradise for the rich. As you stroll along Orchard Road, you see big names like Prada, Chanel, Michael Kors donning the intimidating clear glass panels. Surprisingly, most Singaporeans are willing to part with their money just to get their hands on the latest Miu Miu bag and Burberry scarf. Me? I usually feast my eyes on their new merchandises and have my boyfriend drag me away to a nearby Gong Cha to buy something we could actually afford and feel less miserable about ourselves (what with GongCha being a more premium bubble tea store). That being said, I'm still a shopaholic. When I go out, I find myself inclined to buy something or else it'd be a trip wasted. I'd rather spend money on a nice dress and skimp on lunch/dinner for two weeks. I talk myself into buying something I really like but do not need. Ultimately, the question remains, is it possible of buying nice clothes at reasonably low (who am I kidding? REALLY LOW)prices? Check out these places -
Bugis STREET
Yes, Bugis Street and unless you think 'street' and 'malls' mean the same thing, the items at Bugis+ and Bugis Junction aren't exactly the cheapest. When walking along the street, be prepared to get lost among the hundreds of people jostling with each other trying to navigate through the many small lanes branching out from the main street. The first thing that will catch your eye is the very attractive low price range from 5-20dollars. Of course the clothes there cannot boast of the same quality as those labeled Baby Phat so unless you are willing to starve for a year on food and rent, I suggest you get on the next train to Bugis. I hope by now, you don't have the worst impression of the street – if you look hard enough, you do find good offers that are in keeping with the latest trends without hurting your purse strings.
Fareast Plaza
I don't know about the rest, but Fareast Plaza is the only mall along Orchard Road that I actually go in and find myself making a purchase. If you haven't heard of this place, it's a must-go and you will not miss it as it stands out brazenly from the other classy sophisticated landmarks there. Don't let the rundown state deter you from entering. Inside, you will find really pretty clothes, shoes and accessories that are priced as low as SGD10 all the way to SGD100. Don't worry, you probably won't be featured in the latest Tatler magazine for shopping there so don't be afraid to rummage through the clothes as you'll be surprised with the gems found there!
For those working adults that like me, find formal working attires incredibly expensive – you can consider going to Anchorpoint/IMM to visit the G2K and Charles n Keith outlets there as items are priced lower. Well, of course you might not be able to find the perfect size all the time but with a price tag of almost 20% lower, it's worth the shot. Really great if you are on a tight budget.
Of course others may suggest places like Cotton On and Rubi but unless you want to be seen wearing the same shirt and shoes as your entire neighborhood, you should continue discovering new places elsewhere.

FORT MYERS BEACH, FL- Tonight, there's another outlet to express anger at BP.
That's what one Fort Myers Beach T-shirt shop is offering its customers.
Krusty Pete's Kustom Shirt Shack makes a variety of shirts with anti BP messages, and they're going fast!
Marcee Anderson says her dancing brings customers to her t-shirt shop on the beach, but it's the BP t-shirts that bring in the cash.
A tourist says, "We came back down here so we could get the BP Tee-shirt."
Printed on site, these shirts feature a variety of anti- BP slogans. One says "shame!"
Another one shows an oil covered pelican and says, "Hey Tony, I want my life back too."
They're going fast!
One shirt, a favorite with local fisherman, simply says "blank BP."
A tourist from New York says, "I just thought it was funny and I thought my friends would think it was kind of cool."
Another from Ohio says, 'I want people to see it and not go to BP."
Many people say they're angry.
Anderson says, 'We wanted to give people a vehicle to express their anger."
Something Anderson admits she's feeling herself.
"It's gut wrenching, and I'm very emotional about it and I fight back the tears on a daily basis."
Tears for the loss of wildlife, work, and precious tourism dollars; even though oil has not yet hit the sand in Southwest Florida.
Anderson says, "Were definitely feeling the pinch, tourism is way down."
She says she plans to protest the cause, one shirt at a time.
