>> Everyday staples meet vacation ease in Jenni Kayne's Resort 2012 collection. Gauzy shirtdresses, full-cut pants, boxy jackets and breezy skirts are softly tailored, while barely-there pastels in filmy fabrics are grounded by hearty pops of coral, yellow, and graphite. These are effortless vacation-to-city separates, or, as Kayne puts it, the kind of pieces "a girl wants to pack on vacation, but still be able to work into her existing wardrobe."

Erdem Resort 2012
>> Erdem turned to the leading ladies of Hitchcock and the late actress Romy Schneider for a Resort 2012 collection with a vaguely 1950s sensibility. Refined, yes, but the devil is in the details. Lady-like silhouettes — collarless jackets, sheath dresses, capri pants — get a bit cheeky in a palette of contrasting colors and vivid floral prints. A textural mix of fabrics play wildly against each other, while nipped waists and high collars reign everything in. Shot in London by Boo George, the lookbook features model Guinevere Van Seenus.
Marc Jacobs on His "Great Talent" and Trying to Top the Last Louis Vuitton Show
>> In anticipation of his Lifetime Achievement Award, which he will receive during the CFDA Awards Monday, Marc Jacobs (who notes of the award, "It's not my achievement, number one. It is Marc Jacobs as a company") sat down with WWD to wax philosophical on everything from Alexander Wang to Twitter to whether he considers himself a "great talent."
Highlights from the interview, below.
On what he did for Memorial Day: "Memorial Day? I don't think I've had a Memorial Day off in 30 years. We're all here [at the office]. The design team's here, working through Saturday, Sunday, Monday. I'll go to the gym every morning, but I'll be here after the gym. It's resort."
On his success and being recognized in public and approached by fans: "I can't help but remember the days when Robert [Duffy, his business partner] and I were interviewed for 48 Hours [in 1988]. Robert was building a runway. I'm vomiting in the bathroom because we hadn't slept in three days and we were delirious and hallucinating. So none of that ever goes away."
On whether he's a "great talent": "No. I still wouldn't say I am ... I don't mind if you say it but I'm not going to say it myself."
On winning this year's CFDA Lifetime Achievement award: "I haven't even sat down to write the [CFDA] speech yet but I've been thinking a lot about it, about what does this mean to me and what does this mean to us. I just turned 48 but I don't feel 48. I still feel like a young person but I really see the difference in the work. I'm trying to understand what all of that means and how I feel about it."
On younger designers: "People ask me about the younger designers, Alex Wang and all of them, I think they're great. I couldn't do what they do. It's not what I do. But just like in pop music and in the art world, people always want new work from the artist that they like but they also want new artists. I don't think one changes the other. There's always room for new designers, new musicians, new artists, new writers. Madonna, I don't think is showing any signs of slowing down, but that doesn't mean Lady Gaga isn't taking over the world."
On the most recent Louis Vuitton show: "I loved the Vuitton show. I think as a show it was probably my favorite presentation we've ever done of a collection. I really loved it ... I've spent the past two weeks, which is superpremature, thinking that I don't know what we're going to do to top that last Vuitton show. I thought it was the most beautiful presentation. I think, 'Why am I doing this to myself?' but it's inevitable. When I get back to Paris two weeks from now, I'm just going to be like, 'What are we going to do? What are we going to do?' The answer won't come right away."
On designers he admires: "I think the greatest contributors to fashion are women. Chanel, Vionnet. I think Vivienne Westwood; I think Miuccia Prada; Schiaparelli, Rei Kawakubo ... The one that I probably feel the most strongly about is Miuccia, because of the aesthetic and the mood. There's something so shocking and so tender about it, and it's also very real ... There's an eccentricity but there's also a chic old world sophistication, but it's so new. It's young but never vulgar. There's a sex appeal that's kind of naïve. It's all the things I love."
On his debt to Tom Ford: "I felt that [being hired for Vuitton] was all born from Tom [Ford's] success at Gucci. I believe Mr. Arnault was aware of that and said, 'We can do that with Vuitton.'"
On working for Bernard Arnault: "I meet with Mr. Arnault every time I'm in Paris. He's such a hands-on sort of guy. He goes to every store in every country and he discusses things with me ... He was thrilled with the last [Vuitton] show. He felt that one and the one around the fountain were how he would like women to see Vuitton's image as a fashion brand. He's very up front and honest with me about what he likes and what he doesn't like, what he thinks works and also what he thinks works in other places. Not that he's asking me to do what someone else does, but to look at the success of certain things."
On the resources available to him at Louis Vuitton: "If you look at our first Vuitton show, we wanted to send out a nice collection of simple clothes with all the logos on the inside and one single bag on Kirsten Owen. It has evolved into, 'OK, this is Paris. Let's have three elevators.' I asked for six; I got three. So we're like, 'Let's get Kate Moss, Naomi [Campbell]. Let's fly in Stella [Tennant]. Let's fly in Carolyn [Murphy] and Amber [Valletta].' You want a show? Okay guys, I'll give you a show."
On critics: "You are dealing with a whole lot of highly sensitive people who [will react] depending on their mood and how they're feeling that day or what they did or didn't eat for lunch. I have no problem going on record with this and probably have gone on record with this before, there aren't that many people who I respect. There just aren't. I think journalists have the right to their opinions but I think their opinions should be based on history and what they see, not what they feel, how long they've been waiting or whether it's raining or it's snowing or whatever."
On whether traditional media matters anymore: "I'm not sure it does as much as it used to, and I'm not sure how much it ever did ... [But] I feel like it affects the energy of all of us. In fashion we all gossip about it because within our community it's extremely important. I think it breaks momentum or a sort of energy when there's harsh criticism, and I think when the critique is positive, we all feel quite robust and we're out there. In that way, it has an effect. But in another, I think a woman's going to go into a shop to find a coat or a jacket and I just don't think she's not going to go into a shop because of a bad review she probably didn't even read."
On joining Twitter: "I've got better things to do. I don't need to talk to like schoolteachers from New Jersey about what was valid [in a collection] and what was invalid and what was derivative and what was referencing. I mean, I've just got work to do. I really don't care to argue with you."
Vogue Italia Put Three Plus-Size Models on Its June 2011 Cover
>> Franca Sozzani is putting her money where her mouth is with Vogue Italia's June 2011 cover. After devoting a special section to "curvy" women on the magazine's website (of those highlighted she recently said: "Why should these women slim down? Many of the women who have a few extra kilos are especially beautiful and also more feminine"), Sozzani has cast a trio of plus-size models for the magazine's latest cover. No Crystal Renn, the current "plus-size" model du jour, in sight — instead, Steven Meisel shot Tara Lynn, Candice Huffine, and Robyn Lawley in black and white, marking the first time plus-size models have graced the magazine's cover since the days of Sophie Dahl, circa 2000.

Rough Cut — Rustic Rock Jewels

Realistically, if you're a console manufacturer looking to coin it big in the market, there's one thing to consider: you are not going to pick a fight with the Xbox or the PS3. Maybe you'll go toe-to-toe with the Wii or the still-selling-in-ridiculously-large-numbers Playstation 2 Slim. The fact of the matter is that its just not a viable market for new companies to enter right now, not unless you're going to; A) make a tablet or, B) Launch some kind of game streaming service for your local area.
Ouya might make it work for them by building up an Android box and as Miklós mentioned, there's a great deal of talent on board. But what could be powering the $100 cube?

This new trend outraged a large segment of the psychiatric community. Most of the so-called bipolar kids—some of whom subsequently took mood stabilizers and antipsychotics with serious side effects—did not have a form of bipolar disorder, many psychiatrists argued. They probably had a different illness altogether. Instead of vacillating between mania and depression, they were irritable most of the time and often erupted in fits of rage and physical violence incommensurate to whatever supposed offense set them off. So the APA decided to create a brand new diagnosis to accommodate these misunderstood children: disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. To meet the criteria, a child between six and 18 must "exhibit persistent irritability and frequent episodes of behavior outbursts three or more times a week for more than a year."
Critics such as Stuart Kaplan of the Penn State College of Medicine, clinical social worker and pharmacist Joe Wegmann, and Allen Frances, professor emeritus at Duke University and chairman of the DSM-IV Task Force, worry that psychiatrists will confuse temper tantrums for a mental disorder and thus continue what they see as a trend of overdiagnosis and overmedication. David Axelson of the University of Pittsburgh put the DSM-5 disruptive mood dysregulation criteria to the test using several years' worth of data collected from 706 children and concluded that the new disorder was not very useful. First, it confusingly overlapped with—and was often difficult to distinguish from—two established diagnoses: oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder. Furthermore, a diagnosis of disruptive mood dysregulation in childhood was not a good predictor of future mental health issues, specifically depression and anxiety. Many observers hoped that this research, published in late 2012, would change the APA's mind, but the committee decided to keep disruptive mood dysregulation disorder in the DSM-5.
The personality disorders chapter remains disordered
For decades psychiatrists within and without the APA have called for a complete overhaul of the way clinicians describe and diagnose personality disorders because of obvious flaws. For one thing, many criteria for the 10 personality disorders listed in the DSM overlapped, resulting in so many patients with multiple diagnoses that the validity of certain disorders came into question: Did some of these disorders simply not exist outside the pages of the DSM? Histrionic and narcissistic personality disorders, for example, are both characterized by a need to be the center of attention, a willingness to take advantage of families and friends, and difficulty reading other people's emotions. Additionally, psychiatrists began to rely too heavily on "Personality Disorder–Not Otherwise Specified," suggesting that some patients had personality problems that were not adequately defined by the DSM in the first place.
More fundamentally, clinical psychologists have increasingly come to realize that people do not categorically have or not have certain problematic personality traits—rather, these characteristics vary in strength from person to person. Therefore, instead of making a diagnosis by looking for the presence or absence of maladaptive personality traits, clinicians should measure the severity of such traits to help determine, in the context of a patient's overall mental health, whether and how the person should be treated.
Although the members of the DSM-5 work group tasked with redefining personality disorders did not agree about everything—and two members, Roel Verheul and John Livesley, resigned in frustration—the team drafted a relatively well-received proposal for serious revisions. The proposal eliminated four redundant disorders and, overall, adopted a much more nuanced view of personality than espoused by earlier versions of the DSM, encouraging thorough interviews to assess how well an individual maintains a coherent sense of self and how he or she interacts with others, rather than trying to slot someone into one of 10 categories based on a few supposedly telltale symptoms.

Bush's brother, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, last week urged the GOP-led House to pass the Senate's comprehensive immigration reform package with a few additional requirements.
Jeb Bush, who is considering a 2016 bid for the White House, made his comments in a opinion piece he co-wrote in the Wall Street Journal.
The former president spoke about immigration reform at a conference last December.
"America is a nation of immigrants. Immigrants have helped build the country that we have become, and immigrants can help build a dynamic tomorrow," he said.
"As our nation debates the proper course of action relating to immigration, I hope we do so with a benevolent spirit and keep in mind the contribution of immigrants," he added.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
This, the 21st edition of the World Energy Council's Survey of Energy Resources (SER), is the latest in a long series of reviews of the status of the world's major energy resources. It covers not only the fossil fuels but also the major types of traditional and novel sources of energy. The Survey is a flagship publication of the World Energy Council (WEC), prepared triennially and timed for release at each World Energy Congress. It is a unique document in that no entity other than the WEC compiles such wideranging information on a regular and consistent basis. This highly-regarded publication is an essential tool for governments, NGOs, industry, academia and investors.
The WEC is grateful to all those Member Committees, institutions and specialists who have contributed their expertise and data to this Survey.
Special thanks go to Professor Nada Zupanc, Chairman of the SER Executive Board, to Dr Robert Schock, Director of Studies, to the Studies Committee for guiding the production of the Survey and to Mr Valli Moosa, Chairman of Eskom, for providing an exceptionally perceptive Overview.
Finally the WEC thanks the Joint Editors Judy Trinnaman and Alan Clarke for compiling, validating and formatting the data. Once again they have successfully and professionally
completed this enormous task, both achieving an excellent quality and keeping to the planned schedule. The WEC is grateful to them for their knowledge, dedication, tenacity and inspiration.

Rochester woman sentenced in hit-and-run
Posted at: 02/05/2013 10:18 PM
A Rochester woman who admitted she was drunk and texting when she hit a pedestrian with her car was sentenced in court on Tuesday.
Police say Kashia Houston hit Sherry Argo on Thurston Road back in in November 2011 while Argo was getting out of her parked car. Police say Houston then drove away.
The Monroe County District Attorney's Office says Houston will serve two and a third to seven years in prison. Her license will also be revoked for a year after she's released and she will have to have an ignition interlock device installed in her car for a year.
Argo suffered a broken leg and blunt trauma.

Even before her recent success, Bethenny was an Hermes fan. She toted this black Hermes Birkin while filming Real Housewives of New York.
WOW…um, wow… for some reason, this collection on anyone else would seem a bit contrived but this entire post is just so Bethany and I love it. She seems to have the best of the BEST! Love the speedy, the Hermes clutch, and the chocolate Birkin!
She's brave not only for wearing a white Birkin, but for wearing it with JEANS :O must be nice having all that moolah.
Don't get me wrong, I actually think her bag collection is great. But I think she often looks kind of cheap… especially her tops and jeans. They never look that premium. I recall she already said she can't buy clothes full price… well, it actually shows a bit. I know some people that buy phenomenal quality or at least, great looking textiles at a cheap price. She sure doesn't know how to pull that off.
Does anyone know what size Bethanny's birkins are?
Bethany said on Watch What Happens Live she never pays retail. I'm curious as to how she's avoiding retail prices especially for the Birkins.
I'm willing to bet that her Hermes bags are an exception to the rule.
Can I have her wardrobe as well?
Her bag collection is unreal
What a gorgeous collection of bags! You can never go wrong with the classics.
I'm not a big Bethenny fan but I do have to admire what she has accomplished via hard work, a loud mouth, and a couple of well-to-do boyfriends. We should all be so lucky.
I struggle with brands like Hermes…brands that I know are only purchased for the status symbol. There are so many other luxury brands that offer quality perfectly made bags for more reasonable money. With that said, I have often thought of spending my entire years bag budget and getting a Birkin…..my question would be why do you need every color in the rainbow unless you have something you are trying to prove?
The Birkin as Uniform is overkill as product placement!
The Birkin as uniform is overkill in product placement.
I read somewhere (Radaronline) I think, that her Hermes bags are fake. Apparently she has a woman come over from Asia and she pays around $750 for each. She was apparently being outed by a former assistant. Dunno hw true that allegation was, but I read it online like last year.
i heard that too… but i'm not sure if it's true, either.
I loved looking at the bags, but today it was the slice of pizza that really grabbed my attention and got me drooling! :D
I've always liked, but recently she's been kind of, I don't know aggravating with the whole divorce and "I wanted a fairytale" b.s….marriage is work lady! Sorry for the rant! Anyway I think her whole stickh (sp?) is to be accessible, so she may be carrying a bag that's worth 10Gs but her jeans are from Express kind of thing. And she buys a lot off of Ebay which is I guess how she avoids paying retail.
she does have a beautiful and colorful collection! love her taste in color!!! <3
I've never seen the chocolate birkin and what a treat indeed! Love the tan a taupe ones as well!
I read some place that her bags are REALLY good copys
I don't know if I love her because I have only ever seen the adverst for her show but I love her green hermes birkin. It's quite stunning in that colour.
wow so lucky
Shes great. And she's laughing all the way to the bank.
I am a big fan of Bethenny I never miss her show on Bravo TV. Not only her bag collection was great also her clothes matched perfectly with her personality. Glamorous

Posted 9:35 PM 3/8/2013 : I-10 closes from Vail to Benson
TUCSON - Drivers were being diverted on a 67-mile detour southeast of Tucson Friday night.
Interstate 10 was closed from Highway 83 near Vail to Highway 90 in Benson. It was scheduled to last from 9 p.m. until 6 a.m.
Arizona Department of Transportation crews had to demolish a railroad bridge near Marsh Station Road. It had been a nuisance for the trucking industry for years, with a clearance of only 15 feet.
The traffic was sent through Sonoita and Whetstone.
The Sonoita Mercantile, 25 miles south of the freeway, is the town's only gas station. They usually close at 7 p.m. but stayed open 24 hours.
Mayra Lopez was scheduled to work until 11:30 p.m.
"It's something different," she said, "something new to see different faces, kind of see more action than we usually do in this town."
Andres Alcaraz took the detour when he went from Tucson to Sierra Vista. He got gas at the Sonoita Mercantile.
"It was nice," he said. "I've never even been through here. I was kind of scared at first, hoping I wouldn't run out of gas, but I finally found a little town right here."
That was at 7 p.m., 2 hours before the closure. He blamed his brother.
"I'm getting more information," he said. "I wish I would have just took the freeway. I would have been back home already."

The Girl Who Spelled Freedom
My blog post is about the movie "The Girl Who Spelled Freedom", I'm going to talk about the character, Prissy Thrash. In the beginning of the story Prissy was kind of against the fact that a family of seven was coming to live with her family. She thought that she couldn't handle it. When The Yang family first gets there they are very nervous and don't speak English. Prissy gets very frustrated with the family at first. As, the family starts to learn English and get more comfortable with the Trash family; Prissy starts to get comfortable with them as well. By the end, when Lin really relies on Prissy and is ever fond of her, Prissy is her fond of the rest of the family too. By the end, the Trash and Yang families combined into one big family. Prissy completely changed her thoughts over The Yang family, this movie really showed me how you can over come hard times.

SOUTH BURLINGTON The South Burlington City Council has fired its city manager two weeks after putting him on administrative leave. The council said in a statement Tuesday that Sanford Sandy Millers aggressive and confrontational style was among the reasons for his dismissal. The council made its decision Monday.
The Burlington Free Press reported that Millers attorney, Scott Cameron, calls the councils explanation disappointing. He said the council made Miller the scapegoat for its own poor decisions.
The councilors said they doubt Millers commitment to carry out council decisions with which he disagrees.
Miller previously was city manager in Milton but left in 2009 after a falling out with the Select Board over contract negotiations.
He said Tuesday the council did not have just cause to dismiss him.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER An appeals court ruling this fall on contributions to super PACs may help...

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
Philosophy:When I was growing up I told my father that I wanted to be multilingual. I studied French, Spanish, Italian, German, Russian and Arabic. In addition to Portuguese and English, I now speak, read and write (native fluency), translate and interpret three of the six languages listed above.I also told my parents that I wanted to be a world traveler and learn about other cultures. I did so and lived, worked and traveled in and to around 37 countries. My linguistic skills helped me break the ice and fit into those cultures, while my interest in history, geography and world religions (acquired through conversations with my grandfather) coupled by international relations and international business (derived from my studies and foreign service experience) further helped developing and maintaining interpersonal interests aroused.I basically taught all my life: piano and dance, foreign languages, history and geography, linguistics, ESOL, wherever I lived and wherever I worked. I like the interaction with people. And I like teaching them and opening their horizons. My father and grandfather taught me the importance of reading and studying and be prepared at all times. They also taught me the importance of listening, yet, being interactive by asking and answering questions. This is how I teach my students and this is what I bring in my bag: preparation in my subject, patience, persistence, willingness to do whatever it takes to help someone achieve the best of his/her potential. I do not believe in memorization, but rather the understanding of what the matter is about, the development of that understanding and the ability to recall the information when that is needed. I believe that teaching is a two-way street: it requires a teacher to teach and a student to study. The teacher teaches, the student reviews the information in class and after class. Reviewing what was studied helps the brain retain the information. And the learning process is completed.I require my students to be serious and responsible before, during and after my classes. Tutoring is an expensive extra-service being given and both the transmitter (teacher) and the receiver (students) should be accountable for it. I like my students to express their doubts, ask questions, be inquisitive, show interest in what they are doing. That is the reason I am there for. I also require my students to be patient, persistent and know that learning and retaining is an on-going process requiring constant refreshing during and after class. I believe in taking one step at a time and repeat that step as many times as necessary until results are seen. I enjoy teaching and I enjoy seeing my students learn and making that time of teaching/learning the most enjoyable and fruitful for both participants.This is my teaching-learning philosophy. It has helped a countless number of students through a couple of generations. (And it is still helping me on a daily basis, as one never stops learning). I hope I be able to help and assist you as I assisted and helped others.
Vocabulary is almost synonym of good writing. In essence, it complements the thought process and adds dimension to what one is saying, writing and thinking.When teaching vocabulary, I explore the different instances where it can be acquired: first and foremost, through reading, be that a book, a short story, an article or a piece of research in the internet. Second, I add on to reading, the factor - listening - and how to process words from a teacher, a parent, a movie, a TV show or... Read More
Good grammar helps one to speak well. Good grammar helps one to write well. Good grammar helps one to communicate a message clearly and effectively. Grammar skills are necessary in school exams and in college papers; in a resume for a job, and in a job interview; in a client presentation or in an impromptu speech.Good grammatical skills separate the literate from the illiterate and assist in the small factoids of life.I was taught grammar since my fist grade at school and...

Because some of my ancestors were French, I began learning the language at age 8, and continued with doing so in High School, where I studied under French nuns, and, in College, under a visiting professor from the University of Lyons. I received my BA in French Language and Literature from the Universidade Federal do Ceará, Brazil, and, a year later was teaching Freshmen French at the same university, as well as in private and state schools, in Brazil. While working with multinational corporations,... Read More
Reading is the art of taking a passage, literally read it, while absorbing its content and its structural design. Elements such as punctuation, word choice, even pronunciation play an important role in this piece of information. You dissect it for figures of speech that may alter the meaning of a simple word or even the entire text. You observe the style used in the sentences and paragraphs, so to locate it in time and space and identify it as unique to the writer who wrote the piece. And you... Read More
My B.A in Romance languages (Latin, French, Italian and Portuguese) followed by a M.A. in Applied Linguistics were fundamental in/during my learning and subsequent teaching of the Spanish language.I studied Spanish in Brazil, and began teaching it while living there, as well as private schools. In the U.S., I taught it in the New York Public System, and in Georgia, in both DeKalb and Gwinnett Counties, and in local colleges. While living in the Middle East, I also taught it for both...

Portuguese – more specifically – Brazilian Portuguese – is my first language, as I was born and raised in Brazil. My school program in Elementary school was arduous, as we were required to read, by age 5 ½ and know grammar, spelling and writing/reading perfectly well as to be able to perform successfully in competitions, at the end of elementary school. High School brought more challenges in Portuguese, this time with the introduction of Continental Portuguese language and literature, in addition... Read More
While I was overseas, I studied English as Second Language in High School for about 4 years, for another 2 years in College, and in the Center for English Language Studies, where I received my Cambridge Language Institute certification. My work took me to the US, where I did my Post Graduate in Teaching Methodologies and later received a Master's in Applied Linguistics. While doing my MA besides teaching ESOL, at the University, I was also an Assistant for the English Department and... Read More
Proofreading for me is the art to improve the content, vocabulary and fluency of a text, a contract, a dissertation, a translation and whatever other piece of writing one intends to present. Those were the concepts I had in mind when I first learn how to read and write in my native language, Portuguese, then, in French, English, Spanish, Italian...and that I eventually I had to present to my teachers.I became very good at this art, and became even better when I myself was teaching...

TOEFL means "Teaching English as a Second Language" and that is what I have been doing for almost 15 years. My students came from Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Europe with language backgrounds as diverse as Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Romanian, Serbo-Croatian, Albanian, Russian, Arabic, Afrikaans, Swahili, Bantu, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Tagalog, Indonesian, Thai, Amharic, Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Creole and a few more. I speak 5/6 of these languages,... Read More
Spelling is a definite plus in the learning of a language, be that English, Spanish, Latin, Arabic or Portuguese. It proves that one's writing is understood, that the message one is trying to convey is clear.I learned spelling since kindergarten, as my school system was very strict about it. My Middle and High School teachers and later, my College professors, were even more demanding about correct spelling. One's entire grade could be determined by the way one presented a due paper...

I studied Arabic at the University of South Florida as another language family was required for Linguistics. I learned how to read,s peak and write in this language - all in a beginner's level. Little I knew, 8 years later I was living in the Middle East and stayed there for around 6 years (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain), where I had the opportunity to use some of the language I had learned.My children were going to school there, so I had to help my son with his... Read More
I studied phonics in college, for my BA and did well in the subject. I began using its principles more often when learning and teaching foreign languages as a tool to achieve the desired correct pronunciation of isolated and combined sounds in words, and intonation in sentences then comparing those to their writing format and teaching my students how to understand those equivalencies. My knowledge of phonics proved very useful when I taught hearing impairing subjects basic words and expressions,... Read More
I was raised with an admiration for all sorts of religions: from Roman Catholicism, to Buddhism to Islam to Judaism, to Hinduism, to an understanding of the Brazilian Indians' concept of God. I was encouraged to read and discuss these subjects with my father and grandfather, who, in turn, provided me with a larger scope of each of these different religious sects/groups.I studied Religion in the Catholic School I attended for 13 years, where religion was an obligatory subject, and on... Read More
My MA concentration was in Applied Linguistics. This means that you visualize a language, analyze the data, establish a basic set of rules that applies to that language and apply what you learned to decipher, teach and use it. My concentration was in Teaching a Second Language to Speakers of Other Languages. While that applies to any language - and I teach several of them - I also used this ability for ESOL. I myself was a Foreign student and learned the language by studying it and teaching it... Read More
I sang songs and recited poetry since I was 6, on stage, and represented my school in school contests and presentations. From stage presentation to teaching it was just a step away to acquire experience in public speaking. A teacher is a public speaker and a public speaker is a teacher.They both have something to say, pass along, and teach and they both have to say that message well to entice his/her audience. They both have to search for the correct words, use them with the right... Read More
I studied Archaeology - mainly because I enjoyed it - since my Elementary School, with the help of my father and grandfather. Upon concentrating in History of the World, in HS, I further developed my readings and studies in the field, again, coached by my elders. The interest continued throughout college and culminated when studying Historical Linguistics, by analyzing and deciphering languages long extinct, coupled by the study of Ancient Religions and Cultures.I have traveled, worked...

I studied basic finance and economics, while doing my studies in International Relations and working as a translator/interpreter in the field, at the Business Department, USC. A few years later, I was transferred to Brazil and started working for a multinational corporation as a translator/interpreter for their newly developed products and the products they planned on developing. Soon after that, I became deeply involved with market research, customer preferences and habits and statistics... Read More
The first time I was exposed to Italian, I was 10 years old and my father gave me a beautifully illustrated "Dante's Inferno" in his original Italian format. We studied one page every night, together, until "Inferno" was done. My dad and I practice words and expressions and basic conversation, but I wanted more. I learned Italian at the Universidade Federal do Ceará, in Brazil, and, later on, re-shaped my skills at the University of South Carolina, in the U.S., in a course specifically about Dante's...

REVIEW | The Dark Knight Rises
This is not Spiderman 3. It is not Iron Man 2. But this is also not very good.
The final chapter of Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy is beautifully shot, with the cinematography and direction being superb throughout. The acting is excellent from those who have been with the trilogy throughout and even better from Hardy as Bane, JGL as the new Gary Oldman/spoiler and, best of all, Hathaway as Catwoman. These three, along with Bale, earn their moments of levity in this flick and they do so with aplomb. The major set pieces are just stunning, whether understated in the sense of the final scene involving the bomb or even the shots shown in the trailer of the bridges in the distance, or balls out crazy like that of the football stadium, they are created with the same level of detail and care.
Unfortunately everything else isn't. There are far too many plot-holes in this movie to simply wave them off as being par for the course with a blockbuster (see another person's excellent but spoilerific run through here for proof) but while I was sitting there in the cinema aghast at these utterly fucking bonkers moments, there are more fundamental problems. There is not a simple, central narrative to the story like those of the first films, making the entire middle section a mess. The editing is poor, even from the start where we are first introduced to Commissioner Gordon talking about Harvey Dent for a matter of seconds before cutting to Bane In A Plane for the entirety of that sequence before jumping back to Gordon talking about Dent making that initial moment entirely unnecessary. A daft nitpick but from that moment I knew that we were in for a bumpy ride. The now obligatory car chase is dumb as hell and serves absolutely no purpose. Bane is big but he is nowhere near as frightening as Joker.
This culminates in a film that, even if you were not acknowledging it as the final chapter of the series, has bigger stakes than the previous two and yet I felt nothing. No concern, no emotional tugs and no interest. It seems as though Nolan had a great many ideas for the film and, when the movie came in at over four hours, decided against cutting chunks to make it more linear and opted instead to trim, rendering the entire movie undeveloped. This not only makes it a disappointing end to the trilogy but a bad movie when considered as a stand-alone.
Verdict: Spunk

The Dark Knight Rises
Final chapter in the Dark Knight trilogy and the best comic book adaptation series of all time. New actors involved include Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Juno Temple and Matthew Modine, which, in itself, is a good enough cast without the others. I couldn't care less for reviews with this movie, I will be seeing it as early as I can today.
Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap
An exploration of rap in it's entirety seemingly, early reviews seem to suggest that the content is great even if the structure is weak. Any rap fan will want to see almost all of the greatest living rappers from all generations discussing their techniques, experiences and thoughts on the art-form. I know I do.
I Am Bruce Lee
A study of Bruce Lee, his life and his place in history. Gotten some fine reviews and interestingly features basketball legend Kobe Bryant amongst it's contributors, this seems to be a movie that Bruce Lee fans will definitely want to see.
Lola Versus
Lola is dumped by her fiance three weeks before their marriage and attempts to find her place in the world once again. Poor reviews and a trailer that suggests that these reviews might be deserved, the only reason to see this is the always delightful Greta Gerwig. I will be attempting to see it but will not be disappointed if I can't.
*My Pick: Unsurprisingly, The Dark Knight Rises.

A+++ / Perfect gift for husband
I ordered a monogrammed leather wallet for my husband 2 days prior to Christmas and was so impressed by the actual product, as well as the service. The wallet arrived exactly when it was supposed to (in time for Christmas...actually it came earlier than expected which was a bonus). The leather wallet is such a classic and Bosca does monogramming into the material in such a sophisticated yet quiet and classic style. I absolutely recommend this product and brand.

I don't usually put on my graphic designer hat to write this blog, but tonight, the power of fast food compels me. While eating at a Jack in the Box for the first time since college, I spotted a history of the company logo on a placemat. The old logos had character! More than that, they actually had — get this — Jacks-in-the-Box! Somewhere between 1951 and today, Jack in the Box managed to pretty much screw the pooch when it comes to corporate identity.
Problem number one: I had no idea Jack in the Box had even changed its logo. A quick trip to Google reveals that the current abomination has been in play since late 2008. The exterior signage of the locations in my area hasn't been changed, so this new logo was effectively invisible to me until I found myself craving a patty melt … more than a year later.
Problem number two: This logo suffers from severe multiple personality disorder. We're not talking about mild, real-life, DSM-IV multiple personalities, either. This is a case of played-by-Jim-Carrey-in-the-movie-version multiple personalities.
The friendly, red six-sided figure and the inviting, old-school script evoke the kind of neighborhood hamburger joint my parents probably visited when they got good grades in elementary school. So far, so good. Then we come to the type for "in the box," which blatantly aims for cool and contemporary. If the script "Jack" is 1962, the squarish sans serif "in the box" is 2002. It's less Jack in the Box, more Jack in the XBox.
Conclusion? Jack in the Box has no idea what it really wants to be. Sure, they've got the cheeky spokes-clown who's supposed to signal that they're less stuffy than other burger places, but he's asking you to believe a very 1950s proposition: that you should buy these burgers because they're actually pretty good.
Whatever my feelings about Jack in the Box's food (for the record: a Sourdough Jack, once a year, tops), the typography doesn't lie. Jack's a total schizo, and the dude needs to get his act together.
On this count, I can't blame Duffy & Partners, the designers of the new identity. The brief they were working with asked for something more in line with the mascot, Jack Box. They delivered the design the client wanted, but because Jack is all over the place, so is the logo.
Essential reading if you're curious about this sort of thing:

Harvested by hand from the banks of the Amazon, this incredible superfruit is the richest natural source of vitamin C – up to 60 times more potent than an orange! And unlike synthetic vitamin supplements, Camu Camu contains all the vital flavonoids and co-factors that synergize with Vitamin C to give your body a true lift! This spicy powder is intense. Add just a teaspoon to smoothies and juices for a super-nutrient boost!
• A natural source of Vitamin C from the Amazon rainforest.
• Complete, whole-food nutrient source.
• Daily supplement or smoothie booster.
• Known for supporting immune function and balanced mood and brain function.
• 480mg of natural Vitamin C per teaspoon
• Rich source of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant flavonoids
• Contains beta carotene, calcium, iron, niacin, phosphorus, riboflavin and thiamin.
• Important source of brain-boosting amino acid serine, as well as body-building branch chain amino acids like leucine.
Usage Notes : Camu Camu is easily mixed with orange juice or smoothies in small amounts (1-2 tsp) without affecting the flavor. Or mix with water (possibly with a low-glycemic sweetener added) for a quick and simple boost!
The Essential Living Foods Difference
Camu Camu is the most potent natural source of vitamin C. Because it's totally natural, it contains all the flavonoids and co-factors necessary for maximum absorption and utilization. But there are importers, brokers and supplement companies who will claim to have Camu Camupowder with a vitamin C content ranging from 25% all the way up to 50%. Unfortunately, what these companies often fail to mention is that only a portion of the vitamin C is the pure and natural form, the kind that comes directly from the berry. The rest comes from synthetic vitamin C added after processing, since synthetic vitamin C is cheap. This also allows them to add more inexpensive maltodextrin as filler. While this may be good for their bottom line, it's anything but good for your health.
Our Camu Camu powder is exclusively uncut, all-natural dehydrated Camu Camu berry pulp.
To produce our pure Camu Camu powder, the fresh berries are carefully harvested from a pristine Amazon river basin. They are then collected at an organic processing plant where the berries are washed, and pulped. In addition to the berry's Vitamin C rich pulp, we deliberately include the berry's skin, its source of valuable flavonoids. The berries are dried into a powder at low temperatures (just around 120 C). The powder is then sifted so that only the smallest, most bio-available particles pass through. The finished product is a 100% pure dehydrated berry powder with 18 - 20% naturally-occurring vitamin C content.
Our camu camu has a deeper, more red color than other "yellow" camu products, suggesting that our low-heat process and use of the berry's skin helps preserve more of the valuable red/purple antioxidants(anthocyanins).
Contents & Benefits
Camu Camu contains powerful phytochemicals with health benefits, including a variety of potent antioxidants, the essential amino acids serine, valine, and leucine, and more Vitamin C than any other known plant in the world. The berry also contains beta carotene, calcium, iron, niacin, phosphorus, riboflavin and thiamin.
Just 3.2gm of our Camu Camu powder provides 480mg of real, plant-based, immune-boosting Vitamin C. Natural Vitamin C may be much more effective than lab-produced Vitamin C. This may be because Camu Camu is especially rich in flavonoids, the anti-inflammatory, anti- proliferative, anti-fungal plant nutrients that are crucial to health (and missing from many modern diets). Particular flavanoids present include anthocyanins, flavonols and flavanols, catechins, delphinidin 3-glucoside, cyanidin 3-glucoside, ellagic acid and rutin, as well as gallic and ellagic acids.
The amino acids in Camu Camu are also extremely valuable. Leucine is the only dietary amino acid that has the capacity to stimulate muscle protein synthesis, slowing the degradation of muscle tissue by increasing the synthesis of muscle proteins.
Another of Camu Camu's amino acids is Serine, which is especially important to proper functioning of the brain and central nervous system, and is a crucial part of the phospholipids that make every cell in the body, including the protective myelin sheaths in nerves and the brain. Serine is also needed to produce tryptophan, the amino acid precursor to serotonin.
Additional Notes
This powerful ingredient is not cheap. It's for those who demand 100% purity and whole-fruit nutritional benefits. While cheaper versions are out there, we guarantee this to be the most affordable 100% PURE and un-cut Camu Camu available.

This is a community rich in people - and those people have rich stories to tell. Unraveling those stories is at the root of journalism. Sometimes those stories can be provoked by asking the right questions: the whos, whats, wheres, whens and whys. Other times it requires tips from community sources. In some cases, it requires deeper probing.
While reporters have long been the "watchdogs" of public accountability, few likely know that most of the information journalists rely on to develop stories is readily accessible to them - as long as you know where to look.
I am a vet. technician that has been in the business for 18 years. I feel that pit bull terriers are being targeted. Terriers in general are a breed that need a special kind of owner, someone who will have the upper hand. They can be strong willed, hard headed and will try to be number one in the family pack.
I am writing in support of Alexandra Guidry's proposal published in last week's Local. She gave me hope for the younger generation when she advocated for door-to door recycling. I appreciated her idea very much, though I suspect we are a long way from having our recyclables picked up at our doors.
The pool is going to be a great thing for the kids. Hopefully all Eminence kids will be able to enjoy the pool and concession stands this summer. The Eminence City Council and Mayor will probably make the decision as to how much the admission fee will be and the rules of the season passes.
Last week when I read the article entitled "Council Awards Pool Bid," I was shocked! The article mentioned that the meeting was at times contentious. If I read it correctly, it appears that at one or two times during the meeting, people were close to "blows and subject to verbal abuse." This is sad because instead of bringing the community closer together, "the pool" seems to have divided the citizens of Eminence.
This letter is in regards to the article titled "Saying Goodbye to the seniors" in last week's edition of the Henry County Local.
As I read this article I was so surprised by the blatant disregard shown for the Eminence seniors and their achievements during their years on the team in this story. My mistake, I thought this was a newspaper representing the whole county.
People sometimes ask me where I grew up, where I'm "from."
That can be a tough question to answer. Born in Paris, Illinois, I don't actually remember my "home town." Growing up, I also lived in, in chronological order, Terre Haute, Indiana; Henderson, the city and the county, Kentucky; Tucson, Arizona, Newport News, Virginia, back to Terre Haute, and finally Evansville, Indiana.
I bounced around a bit, almost like a military brat. Only we moved where graduate school for mom was, or where a job offer presented itself.

Lizzie asks…
Have any long-range side effects ( good or bad) been mapped for acetyl-l carnitine?
I have had acetyl-l-carnitine recommended as a memory aid, and am wondering if it is safe to use if I have not experienced any of the deficiencies described as an indication of the product. In other words, can one be harmed by taking it?
admin answers:
Apparently acetyl-l-carnitine has some small possible minor side effects as well as some benefits
Side Effects
1. Increase in blood pressure
2. Faster heartbeat
3. Fever and possible rash
4. Large amounts can lead to diarrhoea
5. Can cause nausea/vomiting, headache, bladder irritation or infection, unusual body odour, stuffy nose
6. Possibility of restlessness and difficulty sleeping due to the nature of the drug.
1. It has a role in energy production and therefore a role in weight control
2. It can enhance cellular energy in the brain
3. It can alleviate the effects of depression
4. Can help to prevent cataracts
5. Can help those in a physically demanding job/hobby
6. Some studies have found evidence that acetyl-l-carnitine, might be helpful in Alzheimer's disease
7. Uncontrolled studies suggest that L-carnitine or acetyl-L-carnitine may be helpful for improving sperm function.
8. Weak evidence also suggests that carnitine may be helpful for decreasing the toxicity of AZT (a drug used to treat AIDS).
Safety Issues
L-carnitine in its three forms appears to be quite safe. However, individuals with low or borderline-low thyroid levels should avoid carnitine because it might impair the action of thyroid hormone.
Individuals on dialysis should not receive this (or any other supplement) without a physician's supervision. The maximum safe dosages for young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease have not been established.
Interaction Drug Side Effects You Should Know About
If you are taking;
• Antiseizure medications, particularly valproic acid (Depakote, Depakene) but also phenytoin (Dilantin): You may need extra carnitine.
• Thyroid medication: Do not take carnitine except under a physician's supervision
Like any drug, the possible side effects will affect people differently – due to metabolic factors – speak to your doctor for more information
Nancy asks…
Has anyone had a someone with muscular dystrophy.?
My husband has carnitine deficiency and is doing very badly. Has anyone gone through this before and what should I expect
admin answers:
Muscular Dystrophy is a general term for several forms of dystrophies. The most common form is Duchene Muscular Dystrophy. Others are like Becker, Limb-girdle, Myotonic, and Congenital Muscular Dystrophy, just to name a few. They all seem to be caused by a genetic defect that causes a decrease in the production of dystrophin in the muscle, which leads to necrosis of the muscle. All of these various muscular dystrophies will have different clinical courses and affect different muscle groups. What you will expect is your physician can only sit back and watch because they do not have the magic bullet for this one. What you can do is start a regiment of healthy low glycemic meals (I can supply recipes) next a high quality supplement in high dose (it gives his God made body the ability to defend itself) next if you can walk 20-30 minutes a day. Contact me through my site for the specifics. Help is here.
Robert asks…
Starting a foundation?
I have hypoglycemia, particularly a carnitine deficiency. I want to start a foundation for those who have the same problem. I know there is already a Hypoglycemia Foundation, but I want to start one particularly for those with a carnitine deficiency, because there is a medicine for it, but that many might not be able to afford. It transforms the lives of those who need it, so I believe this is really a great cause. How would I go about starting this foundation?
admin answers:
The laws on starting the nonprofit company vary by state. There are a lot of services online that will do that for you, but it's not hard to do it yourself. Look it up on your state's secretary of state homepage. You can also found it in another state if you like their laws better – delaware is popular if i recall correctly.
Once you start your corporation you'll need to get 501c3 status, which means filling out paperwork and sending money to the irs.
Once you have that you'll be eligible for all sorts of grants from other foundations. If you can you might want to hire a grant writer, or recruit an experienced volunteer for that.
Side note – most (all?) pharmaceutical companies already have programs to help people who can't afford their meds. You can probably check with the company about that.
