Holiday Shopping At Barney's New York
Posted on December 04, 2013 at 5:30 PM
Am I the only one who sees the irony in Beyonce and Jay Z, who are based in New York, doing some shopping at Barney's New York in Beverly Hills? LOL! Well, if they have to be out on the west coast, Beyonce and Jay Z might as well get a taste of home, right? The power couple were spotted leaving the store after doing some shopping. They've probably got a long list of gifts they have to take care of.
Where are you at with your holiday shopping? I'm actually ahead on mine this year, so I'm very proud of myself. I've got my main gifts already. All I have to do now is buy wrapping paper, and I will NOT wait until the week of Christmas to buy it this year. I know, I know: famous last words, right? I bet Beyonce and Jay Z are much more pulled together than that!

Hustling Solo At 'American Hustle' Premiere
Posted on December 04, 2013 at 4:30 PM
Remember the movie 'American Hustle'? It has an amazing cast: Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, as well as Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner. This is the movie Bradley had that awful curly permed hair for. Well, the LA premiere was held last night. Most of the big names were MIA. No Christian, Bradley, or Jennifer sightings on the red carpet for us.
Amy, however, was there, looking chic in black and white and mesh. What do you think of her dress? I'm a fan! The New York Film Critics named 'American Hustle' Best Picture yesterday. It must be good. I'm going to have to make time for this movie.

Touching Down At LAX… Again
Posted on December 04, 2013 at 3:30 PM
How does Selena Gomez do it? We JUST saw the singer-actress arriving at LAX just TWO days ago. Here's Selena arriving (not leaving) at LAX again. Somehow she was able to sneak out on the sly but got caught on her return. Talk about a jetsetting lifestyle!
Selena looked like she was doing her best to keep a low profile as she made her way through the airport. I'm guessing she made some kind of appearance somewhere. She didn't go anywhere long enough for a vacation or anything like that- LOL. These celebs can really rack up the frequent flyer miles. Hopefully Selena will get to enjoy the holidays with her family. She works hard enough to have earned a break!

Gerard Butler was all smiles as he prepared to fly the friendly skies. Wherever Gerard's going, he looks happy to be headed there. Maybe he was just happy to give a fan his autograph . I haven't seen Gerard with his girlfriend in a while. Are they still together?
If not, I'm sure Gerard will have no trouble finding a replacement. It would be nice to see him settle down, but I think it's hard for a guy in Hollywood, though. There are so many women throwing themselves at famous men; I can see where the temptation to continue playing the field would be VERY high. It's a guy's dream, really.

Michael Schumacher is determined to put his recent run of bad luck behind him as he concentrates on securing a solid result at the upcoming European GP.
Schumacher's grand prix weekends has been largely undone by reliability issues and mistakes, the latest coming at the Canadian GP where he was forced to retire after his DRS wing became stuck in the open position.
It was the German's fifth retirement of the season and left him with just two points to his credit.
Schumacher, though, is refusing to let his bad run get to him.
"Our entire focus is now on the race in Valencia, and I am sure that everybody's motivation is even stronger because the weekend in Canada didn't go as well as we had hoped," said Schumacher.
"Our motto in the last few days has been to roll our sleeves up and focus on the job in hand; everybody in the team has taken that approach to heart, so we can travel to Valencia in an optimistic mood.
"The harbour area is particularly nice and, given its location, the circuit is also really interesting, so let's see how we can perform there. You can still feel some of the atmosphere from the America's Cup in Valencia, which makes this race a special event that we always enjoy taking part in."
Meanwhile, team boss Ross Brawn concedes steps must be taken to resolve the issues that have dogged the team, especially Schumacher, this campaign.
"The performance of our car and our tyre management were generally good in Canada, however our competitiveness was compromised by reliability problems and mistakes.
"This is a disappointment that is deeply felt by everyone in our team, and we have been working hard to ensure we understand the reasons and deal with them.
"Achieving zero-defect reliability is our highest priority. The opportunities available if we can give both drivers a reliable car and a clean weekend are clear."

When we're not shooting weddings and events on weekends, we photograph lots of head shots and executive portraits throughout the week. South Carolina Federal Credit Union has been sending their employees over to us for a couple years now. Jessica just joined their team and needed photos for a press release. This image was shot with a giant 6-foot LiteDome softbox to her left as the main light, a medium softbox behind and on her right as a kicker light, a small softbox on a boom above her for a hair light, and an SB-800 right behind her as a background light. I like using small wireless strobes as my background light since it's wireless and I don't have to worry about cables showing in the photo if I do a full-length shot. The rest of the light sources were Alien Bees, which are triggered with the RadioPopper Jr (Studio Version) radio triggers. The image was shot with a Nikon D2x (which I use exclusively in the studio), and the 70-200 f2.8.

Studio Portrait for SCFCU
November 21, 2010Anchor Commercial
November 21, 2010My "Double Your Pleasure" post about the team photos I did for ESPN got such a big response! So I thought I'd share this group photo I did last weak using the same technique. Anchor Commercial has been a client of ours for many years. One of the things they have me photograph for them each November is a group shot they put in a Christmas Card to send all their clients. Rather than setting up on the South East side of their building where they'd be squinting in to the morning sun, we decided to set up on the North West side. This provided a nice rim/back light. However, their faces were in extreme shadow. So I set up my double-flash technique with two SB-800s on each of two light stand, firing them through my favorite Westcott 43" Collapsible Umbrellas, and triggering them with my trusty RadioPoppers. Here's the scene before everyone arrived, and the final image they selected for their card.
Family Portrait on Sullivan's Island
November 19, 2010A Kiss of Light
November 18, 2010I am, and always will be, a student of light! Most days I can find absolutely gorgeous natural light to work with. But sometimes a shot needs a little extra "something". During this fun shoot with James & Ashleigh and their beautiful daughter, I started photographing this story-telling scene with all natural light. But the exposure value on Larkin was the same as James & Ashleigh's. Even though the shallow depth of field made it clear that Larkin was my main subject, James & Ashleigh were competing for my attention. So to make them recede even more into the background and make Larkin really pop, I used a single SB-800 on my light stand off to my left to give her that extra lift. I didn't pump it up too high…just enough to give her a little extra kiss of light and make her the true centerpiece of the shot. As always, the remote flash was triggered with a RadioPopper Px remote. Next time you're out shooting, try adding a kiss of light to add extra depth to your shot!
Five Year Follow-Up
November 15, 2010It's been about five years since I photographed James & Ashleigh's wedding. What a joy it was to bump into them as guests at Ashley & Sherrod's wedding just a few weeks ago. And even MORE exciting was the honor of meeting their beautiful daughter and getting to photograph yet another chapter in their lives. J
Hilton Family at Folly Beach
November 15, 2010Before Cami & I left for Maine last week, I had a really fun shoot with the Hilton Family on Folly Beach. Dr. Hilton is our dentist and we LOVE the great care they give our smiles! J (Check out www.hiltondental.net.)
Kathy & Rusty's family at Folly Beach
October 29, 2010I had a really fun time photographing Shelley, Chris, and their son Logan last year. So I was ecstatic when her Mom called to ask me to photograph the WHOLE family. J It was so beautiful, peaceful, and un-crowded out on my favorite stretch of Folly Beach. One of the joys of my job is getting to know folks as we walk to and from the beach…hearing about all the interesting things they do, their amazing accomplishments, their passions, and what's important in their lives. I'm so blessed to be able to do what I do!
Alison & Kevin at Mt. Pleasant Presbyterian
October 29, 2010Alison & Kevin had a GORGEOUS ceremony last Saturday! The sky was blue, the temperature was perfect, and Alison & Kevin were a BLAST to hang out with!!!
I met up with them at Alhambra Hall where the wedding party was getting ready. Kevin & Alison shared their "First Glance" shortly after that, giving us time to get some fun wedding party photos before heading to the church. Mt. Pleasant Presbyterian has a beautiful historic sanctuary that I love photographing in. We always obey each church's protocol, even if it means no photography inside the sanctuary during the worship service. But I was kindly allowed to polish the glass windows at the back to shoot through them from the foyer, and also mount my fisheye remote camera on the balcony for some unique shots.
After the ceremony, Alison & Kevin burst from the church to an excited gathering of friends and family clapping and blowing bubbles as they rode off on their horse-drawn carriage. The reception followed at the always-popular Alhambra Hall. It was an EXCITING party with lots of laughter, emotional toasts, crazy dancing, and a beautiful sunset for some of my favorite shots of the day. Later, a full moon rose in time for me to grab a couple dramatic images before Alison & Kevin made their grand escape among waving multi-colored glow sticks. What a FANTASTIC day! To see the rest of their photos, head over to www.chrisandcami.zenfolio.com.
Alison & Kevin, may the joyous glow of your love for each other never fade…
Belle Hall Eye Care
October 27, 2010I first got to know Dr. Lori Donovan when I photographed her wedding seven years ago. Hard to believe it's been that long…she's just as beautiful as the day she wore her wedding gown! Now Lori, with the help of her super sweet Mom, Maxine, and indeed the whole family, has become an instant success in the field of eye care. After out-growing their original building in just a few short years, I got to do a photo shoot for them to showcase their brand new state-of-the-art facility! Check them out at www.bellehalleyecare.com.
Patricia & Michael at Summerall Chapel
October 26, 2010Last weekend Tricia & Mike tied the knot at Summerall Chapel on The Citadel! Their reception followed at the Carolina Yacht Club in downtown Charleston.
Tricia is a 1st Grade teacher…and we all know I have a big heart for teachers since my parents were educational missionaries and still teach even now that they are retired! Mike traveled a lot since his Dad was a contractor for the Army… Guam, Puerto Rico, and all over the US. So we had a lot in common too. But what really struck me about these two is just how much IN LOVE they are! J I could tell they were close during their engagement session. But even on their wedding day, with all the secret letters and gifts going back and forth…Tricia & Mike are soul mates indeed! I love the story of how Mike proposed. After picking out her ring all on his own, he planned a really amazing proposal at Waterfront Park as they watched their first sunrise together, then arranged to meet ALL their family and friends that he had secretly invited to join them for breakfast afterwards. Isn't that cool?!?
Check out their fun Music Video at www.chrisandcami.com/blog. Then head over to www.chrisandcami.zenfolio.com to see the rest of their Online Gallery.
Tricia & Mike, I absolutely LOVED being a part of your special day. Remember to CHOOSE to make each new day special for each other!!!

Grab a Button!
Product 236/674
Will curiosity kill the cat or will she be purring in ecstasy?
From a small village where she did all the work and everyone else is lazy, her world is dull wood buildings and dirt streets.
When Alex wakes in a world of Goblins where everyone is busy, she is excited and eager to explore. Everyone is in fact goblins of all shapes and sizes as only King Crick is human in form. Everything is colorful and beautiful, even the kings skin changes colors.
The Goblin King is busy ruling his kingdom, but he has summoned her to his world to be his Queen. He will gladly take time to rule and love her.
Is He the Dom she has been longing for? And does he have a few tricks to keep her thoroughly satisfied?
"Please don't talk around me as though I am not here." A high-pitch timbre spoke close by.
Startled, she looked around but didn't see anyone.
"Ignore him, he only wants attention," the urchin said.
Another urchin creature suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the table. "Where did you come from?" He opened his mouth, but she held up her hand to prevent him from speaking. "It doesn't matter. None of this is making sense, and as for your master, I am forced to pass on the opportunity to meet him. I do not visit anyone without my clothing. Excuse me."
Turning, she started to walk away. Shaking her head, she wondered if her mind was trying to turn this into a sexual fantasy. Not that she would object to a good wet dream, but she wanted a sexy male, or even a female to play the opposite role, not one of these ugly creatures, and they were dreadful. Not horrifying or scary, merely terrible. She had a feeling she would not feel the same if she met them, especially while alone, in the dark of night.
One of the urchin creatures called after her, stopping her departure.
"All must go before the master when they arrive. You will not be allowed food or drink until you do."
Hesitating, she glanced at them over her shoulder. "Then I shall not be staying long." Turning slowly, she faced them. "Where is this, exactly?"
Eyes rolled, chins twisted, and mouths flattened as they considered her question. The first dog-like creature held up a finger as though he had reached a solution. "This is exactly where it has always been."
"No, I mean the town, where is it located?" Scratching their heads, they considered how to answer. Finally, one shook his head, but at his side the short one raised his finger. "We are in our world, you are from your world, but now you are in our world. Is that correct?"
Sighing, she nodded. "Yes that would be a correct answer, yet not the answer I was looking for."
She marveled at the bright, rich colors surrounding her and the solid construction of her dream. The whole place, including the odd creatures, appeared so lifelike. Could this possibly be real? She noticed a short man with a humped back, and a face so wrinkled he could pass for one of those wrinkled dogs sitting on the ground at the corner of a building.
"Nonsense." Perhaps she was ill, and her fevered brain was inventing all of this.
Her mind returned to the events before she had awoken on the hillside. The warm spring sun was heating her skin, and the wild flowers in the meadow created a serene setting. She hated everything about her life. Her only solace was coming to the meadow on the hilltop. Below, the lazy villagers plodded along the dirty lanes. It was as though everyone was under a curse or spell, except her.
All of her life she had been filled with energy to spare, unlike her family and neighbors. While she romped and frolicked, the other children had sat watching. In her youth, they lazed in the sun, and huddled before the hearths in the winter. Now as an adult, it frustrated her that she couldn't get them moving or motivated about anything. While she buzzed around cleaning, arranging, cooking, sewing, and tending to their general needs, her family and neighbors acted as though they couldn't be bothered. If she wanted anything done, she couldn't depend on anyone but herself.
It was exhausting doing things, and providing for her family and neighbors. When defeat was pressing in on her, as it had been today, she would escape to this meadow. She was always alone on the hilltop. It would force any of the townspeople to exert themselves to climb the hillside.
Coming back to her surroundings, she strode down the street admiring, and smiling at the creatures she passed. They scurried past her, or stood gawking until she had passed. No one else attempted to speak with her. It appeared she needed to talk with someone, to enlighten herself about this dream.
"Excuse me."
A chicken-legged
"Where is everyone going?" She indicated all the chicken-like people, walking up and down the sides of the streets.
Yurgee looked at her with a serious expression, his gaze never leaving her face as she indicated the people on the street.
"They are messengers, my lady. Delivering. Most are on the street, to deliver instructions from the King."
"King? Is he also called the Master?"
"Indeed. Have you spoken with the Master?"
"No. I do not plan to stay long, so there is no need."
"Oh, but you must. You cannot do anything until you have spoken to the Master. It is forbidden."
"I plan to observe, and then I shall be…."
Her new friend was already shaking his head. "You must obey the laws. Do you wish to have all of us punished?"
"Certainly, I do not want…."
"Then you shall come with me. I shall direct you." He waved his arm, indicating for her to follow. "The King will be expecting your visit."
Sighing, she flattened her mouth, but remained in place.
"I will ask him to forgive your impertinence. He is a just
"What gives with this King?" Her feathered brows pulled down.
"Gives, he is the giver of everything. You should have gone to see him when you arrived." Noticing that she didn't follow, he stopped and turned to face her.
"I would like a few explanations. Why was that urchin stirring an empty skillet?"
"No food."
"But you said
"Oh he does, but you didn't go to him. No one will eat or drink until you see the master."

It's time for another cracking assortment of top quality Street Art seen on the walls, lamp posts and street furniture of Berlin.
I have linked to other posts where some of the artists have appeared on andBerlin before.
I was really chuffed to find this Dede piece at Urban Spree because I had seen it on his Flickr but didn't manage to uncover it before I wrote my Dede post.
The London Police
The London Police is a street art collective that was formed to combine travel with art and I love this giant mural spotted in Kreuzberg while I was tracking down pieces for my MTO post.
Colourful and surreal, Robi The Dog's paste-ups have added something a little bit different to Berlin's street art scene.
I love the placement of this 02:53 street art on the side of a clothes bank near the Mauerpark.
Rylsee x Sophie LeMeillour
This giant robot on the side of Urban Spree was a collaboration between Swiss street artist Rylsee and French visual artist Sophie LeMeillour. The mural was created for New Year's Eve and LeMeillour animated the eye by projecting onto it.
El Bocho is a firm favourite and I'm always amazed at just how much work he gets up in Berlin.
Shepard Fairey
Remembered now for his appropriation of a Barack Obama image, Shepard Fairey is most well known in street art circles for his Obey The Giant art, a progression of this André The Giant campaign.
Unknown Artists
If anyone knows who is responsible for these last two pieces please leave a comment so that I can give the proper credit.

We purchased 2" memory foam to go on our king-sized bed. We already bought new pillow-top mattresses but they were still lacking. We were tossing and turning all night. Purchased the memory foam and WOW does it make a difference. It shipped lightening fast. The smell dissipated quickly and it took it's correct form within 2 hours. We slept on it the day it came. Would highly recommend especially if your back hurts! Great price and great quality.
OK, I have bought several versions of this on line and the Serta is the nicest. There is no smell, they unfold nicely if left alone and are very very comfortable. I bought these for an arthritic nun in her 80's that said she had her first full nights's sleep in years (she has knee and hip problems). They are so impressed with the product that I ordered a second one for another nun that has Rheumatoid arthritis and usually has to sleep in a chair and get up and walk in the middle of the night...who had her first good night sleep that she can remember...she woke up once but fell back to sleep - what a testiment!
I ordered this mattress topper because I was hoping to find some relief for my back and shoulders. I have had arthritis in both shoulders and lower back and I could only sleep a few hours at a time without having to flip over to try and find a more comfortable position. At times I was flipping every twenty minutes or so. Needless to say, I wasn't sleeping very well. This topper has changed all that. From the very first night, I have been able to sleep much more comfortably. I find that I don't wake up throughout the night like before. I sleep much more soundly and I wake up without the aches and pains that I used to. We have a really good mattress, but it wasn't enough. Now with the topper, it is not a GREAT mattress. This product is worth a lot more. It was everything I had hoped for and more!
Wow! This Serta Topper arrived only four (4) days after I placed my order. I unrolled it in the morning when it arrived to let it "bloom" while I was out. I came home to find my son and all of our pets asleep on it! Not to worry, not a paw or claw mark anywhere. I joined them for a while and then made the bed. I don't remember anything after laying down! No late-night TV to lull me to sleep, just luxurious oblivion! This morning when the alarm rang, my son came in to shut it off and laid down for a moment. That was at 6AM. Hello! It's 10:30 now, we just woke up so I better run him to school. You have to try this! It will change your life! Bliss, luxurious Bliss! If you thought high TC sheets were it, you're in for a surprise! Whoohoo! Ten Stars!
The mattress topper is extremely comfortable, but the overwhelming chemical smell is just too much. They recommend airing them out for 48 hours and I am approaching 1 month of having this topper out in my 3 season room and I still cannot put it on my bed. Not sure where this is made and by what standards, but I have had other toppers that I was able to sleep on the next day after purchase.
Prior we had a 4 inch Serta Topper with a density of 2.5 to 3. After a while we found it to be too soft. This 2 inch topper with a density of 4 is perfect ...soft enough yet the support is great. We put this topper over a new mattress that was a little too firm.
I have a memory foam mattress that is about 10 yrs old. The memory foam on this old mattress was not what it used to be. My wife complained that she felt that the foam had compressed a little and wasn't as comfortable as it used to be. We both sleep on our sides and the bed seemed to be too firm as we were both waking up with sore shoulders and hips. When I shopped around for a new mattress that is good for side-sleepers, I looked at the tp model that has a softer, more cloud-like feel. At nearly $XXXX bucks I was looking for a less expensive alternative. I found out that the softer feeling memory foam mattresses are constructed with two layers of memory foam--one of higher density, and a top layer of lower density. I inspected my old mattress and found that I could just peel off the layer of worn memory foam (3" thick). I ended up buying this 2" topper (4 lb density) and another 2" topper (5 lb density, that I bought here on Overstock) and stacking them on top of the 9" thick base foam of my old mattress which is still in excellent condition. The composition of the new mattress is exactly like the mattresses that I would have spent big bucks on, and it is working great. The difference is night and day. My wife and I are very happy and are sleeping much better and waking up without sore hips. Total cost: ~$250.
I love this topper. It added just the right amount of cushioning to our memory foam mattress (I got the wrong density and the mattress was too firm) my fiancee said that she didn't think the bed could get more comfortable and then we added this topper and it did. we're both very happy with this topper.
Hubby has chronic pain issues, so a comfortable sleep is hugely important. When his doctor suggested a memory foam mattress, we looked into them, but the price was too much for us right now, especially since we already have a high-quality pillow-top mattress. Adding this was a great compromise. Hubby is sleeping much better! I wasn't sure at first that it would fit; it was compressed so tightly for shipping that I was convinced it was too small. After several hours of letting it relax back into shape, it expanded to the perfect CalKing size.
I bought the Serta 2" topper to soften a firm mattress, which it did do. Unfortunately, it made me and my wife's backs hurt. I am a side sleeper, so it did help with pressure points, but for some reason it caused me low back pain. I suppose it made the bed too soft and unsupportive and I am more used to a firm bed with a regular foam pillow top. My wife is a stomach sleeper, and it caused her mid back pain. Also, it does trap a lot of heat, so it made us both a little warm. The memory foam smell was never an issue though. This topper may be a good topper for some, but not for us. Our disapproval of this topper may just be the result of sleeping on thicker memory foam. This was the first topper I've ever owned, so I don't know if another brand would be any better. We tried the topper for about a month, then we switched to a 1.5 inch egg shell topper that seems to be less cushy. My advice is, when you buy a mattress get one that is the right comfort level for you so you won't waste money on trying to get the right comfort level using a topper like this one.

LOYOLA MAROON Vol. XLIV Loyola University, New Orleans, La. Friday, October 13, 1967 No. 5 Dr. Smith appointed acting dean of BA; Father Schiffer named grad division dean By LOUIS LASSUS Dr. G. Ralph Smith was appointed acting dean of Loyola's College of Business Administration this week, replacing Henry J. Engler, Jr., announced the Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley, S.J. Also appointed to a new position is Rev. Hubert F. Schiffer, S.J., who will fill Dr. Smith's former position, as assistant dean and director of the graduate division of Loyola's College of Business Administration. Engler said he resigned from his position because he will be a candidate for one of two seats open in the Louisiana Senate in the Nov. 4 Democratic primary. "I have been in and on the edge of politics for ten years," said Engler. This "looked to me to be the right opportunity to do what I believe in," he added. Election to the legislature would require much time and attention said the former dean. "A dean's job is a twelve-month job," he added. Engler said that he will continue on Loyola's faculty as a professor of business administration. He said he has the "most fun" teaching because "that's where the real stimulus is." "I like to work with the students," he explained. As dean you do not have the direct interchange of ideas that you do as a teacher, he said. Dr. Smith said. "I think that anybody given the opportunity to work with the students and faculty in business administration is delighted to have this responsibility." "I will carry on the tradition that was founded by Father Butt and Dr. Connor," said Dr. Smith. Dr. Smith emphasized that the BA graduate program will receive the total support of the College of Business Administration. There will be no radical changes in the college, said Dr. Smith. However, the school will not have a "static program," he added. There will naturally be "evolutionary" change, he indicated. The aim of the college, said Dr. Smith, is to provide men who are not only "socially oriented" but also "technically competent." Dr. Smith joined the faculty of the Loyola College of Business Administration in 1955. In 1961 he headed up the formation of the graduate divisiondivision and has been the only director» to date. Dr. Smith has served as president of the Central New York Economic Conference, secretary and treasurer of the New Orleans Chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Management and holds membership in the American Economic Association and "Various other professional groups. Father Schiffer, new assistant dean and director of the graduate division, said that he feels "that Dr. Smith has done quite well," and that "this should be continued." He said that his plans for the future are general. He would like to get more faculty and course offerings in the graduate division, he said. As a major improvement in the graduate division, he would like to have scholarships for graduate research assistants, he said. Father Schiffer will continue his work as editor of the Social Diges, a monthly magazine on modern social thought published by the College of Business Administration. He will also remain as professor of managerial economics, teaching in the graduate division. Father Schiffer, a native of Germany, joined the Loyola faculty in 1958. In 1949, he was appointed to the National Board of Directors of Caritas Japan, the postwar relief committee of the Japanese bishops. Father Schiffer received his Ph.D. in economics from Fordham University, N Y. He also has a M.A. degree in sociology. DR. RALPH SMITH Moves up to dean REV. HUBERT SCHIFFER Editor gets new job DEAN HENRY ENGLER Running for state .senator Tuition may be increased next year Faculty salaries going up Tuition will be increased next year, the Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley, S.J., indicated in an interview last week. However, the final decision has not been made, nor has the amount of the increase been decided. Father Jolley said that he did not think it would be as much as the $200 jump which went into effect this year. Father Jolley also said he has commissioned John L. Eckholdt, vicepresident for business and finance, to make a thorough study of the financial needs of the university, with the aim of determining precisely what tuition schedule the university must maintain in order to operate on a sound basis. Sometime just prior to the Christmas holidays, the university president said, he hopes to announce the projectedprojected tuition needs for the university for more than one year. When he made the announcement of this year's tuition raise at the end of last semester, Father Jolley promised that he would initiate a study of tuition requirements, and that he would announce the findings well in advance of any other tuition increase. Both Father Jolley and Eckholdt noted a tremendous increase in the faculty salaries as the prime reason for undertaking a study of the tuition schedule. Currently, undergraduates and law students pay $1,200 per year in tuition, while part-time students have a graduated scale. Father Jolley said that salaries in arts and sciences have risen by nearly a half a million dollars in the past year. Eckholdt described faculty salaries as "very competitive" and said, "It hasn't been achieved without a cash drain." The study of the financial needs of the university, Eckholdt said, will be focused mainly on the tuition requirements, but will encompass practically the whole financial situation of the school. He said this is necessary because the tuition schedule must be calculated in relation to the other revenue sources of the university, such as endowments and grants. •'We hope," Eckholdt said, "that the answers we come up with in this period (of the study) will be good for a few years." However, he said he could not pinpoint the exact time for any financial projections. Any rake in tuition for the coming year is contingent upon the completion of Eckholdt's study. Father Jolley said he will not make the final decision until the study has been finished, which he thinks will be around Christmas. Newly approved parking decrees reduce student spaces on campus Parking regulations, which have recently been approved by the Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley, S.J., will go into effect Monday. The parking regulations which have created an uproar among students, reduce the amount of available space for student parking. Under the new For more on parking, see Student Council story on page 3 rules, only junior and senior dorm residents will be allowed to operate a motor vehicle on campus. All motor vehicles which are operated on campus, must be registered and display the official registration sticker. The Student Council called a special session Wednesday and rejected the new regulations as "inequitable." Student parking spaces will only be available in the area along the road from Cromwell PI. behind Buddig Hall in back of Biever Hall. However, these areas also have some reserved and no parking zones, which are restricted to the use of authorized persons only. Fines for traffic offenses will be: first offense, $1.00; second offense, $5.00; and third offense, $5.00 and disciplinary action. Student fines that remain unpaid will be reported to the Registrar and appropriate Dean. No grades, diplomas or transcripts will be issued or granted until all fines have been settled. The parking regulations now provide that over 85 per cent of all full and part time faculty and administrative staff will be able to find parking spaces in the allocated areas. Parking areas for faculty and administrative staff include the area along the campus road behind Holy Grants, exchange courses — new consortium benefits "Each year the consortium will be better," the Very Rev. President Homer R. Jolley, S.J., said concerning the newly established cooperative institution among Loyola and Xavier universities and Dominican College. "Everything is in the planning stage now," Father Jolley said, "but the mere fact that we are engaged in forward planning is helpful." Loyola has been termed the "developed" institution in the consortium arrangement because it is established and experienced and can offer more to the "developing" institutions of Xavier and Dominican. Loyola students may not see the advantages of this consortium immediately, Father Jolley pointed out, but Loyola will benefit from this arrangement. "Participation in the consortium will qualify us for more grants and make foundations for future endeavors," Father Jolley said. At present the grants of money are to Xavier and Dominican and pay for the salary of the consortium director, Mrs. Helen A. Mervis, whose office is on the Xavier campus. But according to Father Jolley, the grants will eventually help Loy- Ola get national teachers' fellowships which will provide for visiting faculty to both Loyola and the other members of the consortium. The Department of Health, Education and Welfare is providing the funds for the consortium at present, Father Jolley said, and there is no cost to the students for any of the consortium's advantages. "We now have a cross-registration program," Father Jolley said, "and students may take upper division courses at Xavier or Dominican without any extra charge." Xavier and Dominican students may do the same thing at Loyola. There are 19 students from Dominican and six from Xavier taking courses at Loyola this semester. "This is agreed upon for only one year," Father Jolley pointed out, for if Loyola students aren't going to Xavier and Dominican as often as their students are coming here a financial imbalance will occur as well as overcrowding of the already crowded classrooms at Loyola. The inter-library loan system is very successful according to Father Jolley. "We hope to have Louisiana State University at New Orleans join us in this program soon," he said, "and perhaps Tulane will eventually join us also." At the present time, the consortium per se is established only between the three local Catholic cam- Ted Fiefer, registrar, initiates social security filing system Ted Feifer, Loyola registrar, is starting a crash program that would "mechanize student records wherever feasible." In an interview, Feifer said that his office will require all students to submit their Social Security Numbers before the close of the Fall semester. He said that many benefits are typical of the Social Security number system. Some of them are: —one number for the student through his entire college career. —no school expense for creating an elaborate number system. —elimination of much red tape as far as communication between colleges about students is concerned. No student will be allowed to register next semester unless he has submitted this number. For those students who do not have a number, application forms may be picked up at 701 Loyola or any U.S. Post Office. Singer Yarbrough dazzles audience By SUE CONNORS University songfesfr A casual, almost folksy friendliness coupled with a gentle voice and a vivid sense of humor comprised the ingredients of the Glenn Yarbrough show Oct. 5. The Loyola Student Union and Tulane University Center Program sponsored the show at McAlister Auditorium on Tulane's campus. The audience ranged from the junior high set to the knitting group, but it was mostly composed of college coeds. The Fred Ramirez Trio, consisting of Don Dexter on the drums, Teddy Arnold playing double bass, and Fred Ramirez on the piano, opened the show with the hit "Out of My Head" and a few more favorites, such as "Cherish" and "Penny Lane." The three played throughout the entire show, and an added feature was the new folk singing combination of Maffit and Davies. Clark Maffit and Brian Davies entertained before the intermission and at the end of the show. Strolling out in gray slacks, a darker gray coat, navy blue sport shirt, and no tie, Glenn Yarbrough set the informal mood of the evening with his chit-chat extending to the crowd and his band. By mid-performance the audience was singing along with Yarbrough, repeating words and phrases under his direction. Maffit and Davies—the "warm-up" act, as they called themselves—were young folk singers with semi-shaggy hair and an unique fashion all their own—a real freshness and simplicity. Songs comprised from a book of poetry, "Stand-In Street and Other Sorrows," added a special tinge to the performance as the lights were dimmed, and Yarbrough's gentle voice captured the melancholy mood. Most of his selections were folk songs, including many of his own favorites and past songs he had recorded. Yarbrough ended the program with "Baby The Rain Must Fall," his hit recording from a few years previous. Three encores seemed sufficient proof that he had won many fans in the New Orleans area. For more on Yarbrough, see story on page 2 MELANCHOLY MOOD: Glenn Yarbrough set an informal mood in a concert sponsored by Loyola and Tulane by his sporty dress and a sing along session with the audience.

The blogger, who was once overweight, appeared at a recent red carpet event in a two piece suit with no shirt where he showed off his washboard abs, leaving many to wonder if he had liposuction or other cosmetic procedure.
California board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Semira Bayti told Threads online that Hilton has had liposuction on his abdomen to achieve the look of six-pack abs. For this procedure a plastic surgeon will remove excess fat under the skin of the abdomen in strategic areas to give the appearance of sculpted abdominal muscles. This look can be achieved without spending hours in the gym doing sit ups.
Although this abdominal liposculpture can make a person look like they have rock hard abs, the prospective patient must not be obese. Plastic surgeons want their patients to be at a healthy weight that they have been able to keep up for an extended period of time. Liposuction is intended to remove resilient pockets of fat that are hard to eliminate through dieting and regular exercise.
Any person considering liposuction should talk with their plastic surgeon about their expectations. While they may get the results they were looking for maintaining their new look will depend on their ability follow a sensible diet and regular exercise routine.

When Seal's first big hit, "Crazy," hit the airwaves in the early days of the '90s, there were a lot of people who knew the song, and that was about it. Then people saw the video, and then Seal was The Guy That Plays Bass Left-Handed And Has Those Scars On His Face. And to a lot of people, that's all he was.
Then came "Killer," a smash hit, and Seal was on the map in the music world. A few years later came "Kiss from a Rose," a modest hit until it got connected to Batman Forever. There was no arguing at that point that Seal was a star. Far from being content to just keep things as is, he continues in his evolution even now, more than two decades after we first saw those scars (and since I know you're wondering, they are the result of a type of lupus called discoid lupus erythematosus).
And now, Seal is, hands-down, the coolest mothergrabber on planet earth. He looks cool, he acts cool, his voice is cool, and he freaking married Heidi Klum.
Growing up in a foster home in London, Seal's early life was a tough one, but he was one of those lucky people who found his calling relatively early.
"Ever since I discovered my singing voice as a child, I knew that I wanted to make music my career," he said. "Music has always been a big love of mine, and I was lucky to discover that I had a voice that I could make a career out of. "
Taking that voice and using it to eschew a career in architecture (he actually holds a degree in that field), he made hay with it, though he downplays anything but dumb luck in the universe giving him that raspy, distinctive sound.
"It got to a stage where a lot of people were telling me I had a unique voice," he said. "Once you realize you have something that a lot of other people don't, you eventually work out how to use it to your advantage. I was simply lucky that there's something in my voice that people like to hear."
He's right, too--or at least, the people who told him they wanted to hear him were right. His songs are catchy, or thoughtful, or both, and his albums are emminently listenable. This, again, is not due to any concerted effort to create an opus. At least not according to him.
"To be honest, when I'm writing, I don't necessarily think about the end result as such, I simply try to make every single song the best it can possibly be," he said. "However, I personally like listening to albums that work as a body of work from start to finish, so I suppose I naturally make albums in that way." So there's at least one instance where the man will sort of take credit for something awesome that he does, and it is truly awesome to find a full-length album these days that stands as a whole--and I'm not talking about concept albums, either. Ugh.
Even 1998's critically-panned Human Being is a terrific listen from start to finish, prompting people like me (admittedly a Seal fan) to argue that critics don't know shit.
At any rate, Seal continues crafting these albums as start-to-finish works, and not just a few hits with a bunch of filler thrown in to reach the 12-, 15-, or 18-song quota consumers demanded when they stopped charging us $8.99 for a cassette and decided to hit us for $14.99 for those new-fangled CDs. This desire to eschew writing a few hits and a bunch of crap is something few artists seem to worry about in this day and age of digitally-downloaded singles and Frostwire and your friend's CD burner.
"I think there's no doubt that the different ways people are now consuming music has led to a change in the way many artists approach the writing and production of their album," he said. "Personally, I just try to write the best songs and make the best music I can."
Currently on tour (and coming to Tulsa August 1, which is why you're reading this article) supporting his latest studio effort, Commitment, the singer compares this one to his first two albums, both self-titled--and these are the ones that gave the world the aforementioned huge hits.
"I really feel I approached [recording the album] in the same, pure way that I approached my first two albums. And by that, I mean, while I've always had lots of different styles and genres of music on my albums, I feel there is always a thread throughout them," he said. "Ultimately, my voice seems to provide the continuity across the album regardless of the style of music the song happens to be." There it is again. The voice.
While his songs are loved rabidly by his fans, and casual listeners know and love the hits, it's that voice of his that brings the magic for a lot of people.
He'll bring that magic to the Brady Theater this week, much to the delight of a great many people. While Seal loves studio work, he is equally passionate about playing live, and he spoke fondly of his band, as well.
"We have a great time on the road, and my band really become my extended family when we're touring," he said. "Every night feels special. It really does. The venue makes no difference to me at all. It's all about the people standing there in front of me."
Granted, he's never played the Brady, or anywhere else in Tulsa, so it's not like he's talking smack about us. Still, he goes back to the fans.
"There really isn't one place that stands out [as a favorite venue]," he said. "If the audience is great--and they generally always are -- it's just great to be playing."
There are those artists out there -- Prince comes to mind -- who everything short of refuse to play the old hits. Sure, you want people to hear your new stuff, but we all know there are tunes we buy the tickets to hear. The setlist Seal will bring to us this week is rife with his hits, so new fans, casual fans, and diehards alike will probably be in heaven.
"I'm pleased to say we play stuff from all the albums," he said. "It's a setlist I'm incredibly proud of, and perhaps my favorite set I've ever played."
So that's exciting. Did I mention I love this guy?
Seal, along with special guest Macy Gray, plays the Brady Theater Wednesday, August 1. There is a myriad of ways to get to this show, as tickets are available through Reasor's and Starship Records, by phone at 866-977-6849, or online at protix.com. Prices start at $59.50, and the doors open at 7pm.

Highlights: Argentina (Buenos Aires) , Antarctica (Antarctic Cruise)
Discover Buenos aires with your private guide, before you experience the planet's last untouched continent from one of the most advanced expedition ships ever built. This voyage will take you through the renowned stretch of the Drake Passage, escorted by albatrosses and storm petrels, before arriving at the magical white landscape of Antarctica. You will experience the continent in summer with its incredible wildlife including seals, penguins and whales. Make landings on small expedition skiffs to explore the landscape and animals in a more intimate way than ever imagined. A true once-in-a-lifetime journey.
Cruise Departure Dates: 2013: Nov 22 2014: Jan 4, Jan 13, Feb 15, Nov 19* 2015: Jan 4*, Jan 16* *indicates extended 13-night version of cruise
A private transfer between the airport (International) and city of Buenos Aires with a professional driver and an English-speaking guide is provided.
Loi Suites Recoleta is located in the most elegant area of the city, at walking distance from museums, art galleries and shopping areas, historical architecture and beautiful parks. A tropical Winter Garden with swimming pool and restaurant complete the relaxing atmosphere anyone would wish for in an upscale hotel. International cuisine is also served in La Fuente restaurant, intimate and warm.
The recently discovered ancient tunnels of Buenos Aires are one of the city's best kept secrets. Enjoy a private half day city tour including a visit of the ancient passages and get to know Buenos Aires from the ground up. After meeting your private guide (with driver and private vehicle) at the hotel, you'll visit the Plaza de Mayo, the city's founding site and genuine starting point of Buenos Aires' urban development. Next is San Telmo, a former enclave for local aristocracy. This charming colonial district, with its cobbled streets, has many artists' studios and is one of the trendiest neighborhoods of the city. In San Telmo lies a recently unearthed treasure: the ancient subterranean tunnels. The construction of tunnels started in the colonial era, and continued well into the 19th century. From ancient times, many myths have been created around the tunnels: people said they witnessed secret encounters, disappearances, murders or even political conspiracies.Enjoy visiting one of these tunnels, a part of a 3,000 square meter labyrinth below the streets of San Telmo, made up of a long corridor with vaulted ceilings and display cabinets exhibiting many items and utensils recovered during the excavation. Other areas that are included in your tour include La Boca, (which was strongly shaped by the working class Italian immigrants, with its make shift houses made from scrap materials found in local shipyards), Puerto Madero - Buenos Aires' latest and most sophisticated neighborhood, and La Recoleta, where a short stop is made at the gorgeous Plaza San Martín, the Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, (the city's second oldest church), and the celebrated Recoleta Cemetery, an imposing labyrinth of ornate graves and mausoleums where some of the most important characters of Argentina's political and cultural life (including Eva Peron) are buried. The last stop on the tour is at the area known as Palermo Woods. Next to the woods lie the splendid palaces built by the wealthy classes in the early 20th century to rival with Paris. After having gained deep insight in this culturally rich city, you will return to our hotel.
A private airport transfer with a professional driver and English-speaking guide is included (between Buenos Aires' hotels and domestic airport or vice versa)

Cruises Carol Huerth , November 18, 2013 "Dear Danny, I just want to thank you for a wonderfully organized vacation and barge experience in France. We were pleased with every aspect of our vacation and will definitely recommend your company. We will also certainly recommend our exceptionally capable, pleasant guide in Paris. Waffa Lenky navigated us with relative ease through the crowded tourist attractions. She was knowledgable and fun to be with. I gave this trip a 10. Sincerely, Carol Huerth "
Cruises Luisa Currie , October 07, 2013 "I just wanted to let you know that we really enjoyed our tour of St Petersburg. Our guide was very professional and knowledgeable yet flexible and fun. Using Kensington tours for our shore excursions truly made out time in Russia the highlight of our vacation. "
Cruises Tom Warner , October 07, 2013 "Danny, I just wanted to write back to you to let you know that my wife and I had a terrific trip. You were very helpful and patient with us and we are looking forward in booking with Kensington shortly with another trip and will go through you."
Cruises Barbara DeCoster , April 12, 2013 "Dear David, Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting together the magnificent Antarctica Tour that my daughter and I just finished. Every detail worked perfectly from the time we got on the plane at SeaTac airport in Seattle, until the time we returned to SeaTac. Giselle Lopez, the excellent tour guide in Buenos Aires was waiting for us at the airport there with a car and driver. Her half day tour of the city was excellent--she is a fantastic guide and so knowledgeable. When we checked into our hotel room, it was just great--and then we turned on the TV to a local news channel and were greeted with the news that a new pope had just been chosen and he was from Argentina! (How did you arrange the timing on that?) The location of our Hotel Madero was perfect for a short walk in the vicinity. That evening, in spite of a horrific traffic jam, our driver arrived on time to take us to Rojo Tango. Next morning we were taken to the airport right on schedule. We were met in Ushuaia by a guide and van who took us on a tour of the National Park. Again we were fortunate to have such a knowledgeable guide. Las Hayas Hotel is definitely a winner. Our room was deluxe and dinner couldn't have been finer. Next morning we took a cab into Ushuaia for some shopping and lunch. Our driver met us a promised at the Hotel Albatross and delivered us to our cruise ship (our bags had been picked up that morning by the cruise company at Las Hayas). The Russian cruise ship, Akademik Sergey Vavilov, was another winner. We had a lovely cabin (my daughter insists it was the best one on the ship because of size and location). Surprisingly, many of the Staff were from Seattle, the Pacific Northwest and Canada, which made for a lot of conversation for us. Again the Staff were so knowledgeable and helpful and took special care of this 80-year-old little lady. The lectures on board were great, the food delicious, the guests delightful. The Russian crew were a delight taking care of our needs efficiently and quietly. Antarctica is so very special and spectacular. We came home with so many amazing photos and videos. We have been regaling our friends with our adventures. From the time we left the cruise ship in Ushuaia til I walked in my front door, it was 33-1/2 hours! Next time could you arrange for Scottie to "beam us up?" Again, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for a truly amazing once in a lifetime adventure. I hope to call on you again in the future. Sincerely, Barbara DeCoster "
Cruises Pauline Ives , November 06, 2012 "Hi, David, We have now returned from our splendid tour: Munich to Budapest. Thank you very much indeed. It exceeded all our expectations, even the weather cooperated. Every driver and guide was on time – even early – and was efficient and friendly. We were surprised that the tour was so "private" and personal. We did not encounter anyone else at all from Kensington Tours although there were a few "groups" on the ship. The networking between your office and local enterprises works very well. The ship's crew and services were impressive. So thank you again. We will certainly recommend you to our friends, although at our age few travel far afield. Very best wishes, Pauline "
Cruises Steve and Linda Shapiro , October 07, 2013 "Danny. Omg. What a fabulous fabulous time we had. Best trip ever and your team was incredible. Anastasia was the brightest most affable guide ever. Our driver was great. Thank you for making this one of the most memorable trips ever. Steve and Linda Shapiro "
Cruises , October 07, 2013 "I just wanted to let you know that we really enjoyed our tour of St Petersburg. Our guide was very professional and knowledgeable yet flexible and fun. Using Kensington tours for our shore excursions truly made out time in Russia the highlight of our vacation. "

"football is the simplest game in the world son", "Don't complicate things, do the simple things but do them well" these are words said to me by the man himself on the training ground at Melwood.
I'm aiming to have about 4, but will be drinking them over a period of timeI'm not going there to get wreckedI really want to watch the game, meet some rawk people and make it out to the band at nightRight now I feel comfortable I can manageI'm going to be major exhausted as I'm leaving at 3am to get up there
That was a close call mate, glad it went well. Why did you argue if you dont mind me asking? Was it because you had a drink, or were you more argumentative as you had had a couple? Did you get a ' buzz ' after a couple and how was that etc etc etc
arguement was non booze related and was on the way home when I was totally soberI didnt have enough to get a buzz but it 'take the edge off' so to speak. plus it tasted so damn nice, but it was nice not having to fight the fight so to speakthat i knew if i wanted one, I could have one, and not feel so worried about either choosing a soft drink when I want a drink or feeling like I need to avoid the situation altogetherI feel like I know I am an alkie and it all could go wrong, Im not cured, or ever will be cured, but its nice to know that I can have one or two and walk awayfor now ...
I guess what she was saying is that - yes once an alcoholic, you can stop - rehabilitate, return to alcohol - however the vulnerability will always exist in your personality (which is infact a chemical response - nothing you can do about that)
From what I've read Carl - It's not some gravitas of pull, when you've been off it for a while. But what can happen is that you become complacent - 1 or 2 drinks, you think you're in control, then you begin drinking perhaps once a weekend, then a couple times a week - then you're back there, a place where you're drinking regularly. It's crept up slowly on you, and you've allowed it back into your life.
so I dont see that as the start of the slippery slope either
Not saying my ex girlfriend was a slag but even the label in her knickers said next.
you might as well call in the army.
She has one big tit, you...
I like Bill.
Billo's a genius.
Bills an icon.
Is it the addict? Or is it the person inside trying to beat the addict and trying to drink on a ' normal ' level. Do u not think that this addiction can be controlled?
And no, I don't think this addiction can be controlled. I have yet to hear of, or meet a single person who has gone from drinking uncontrollably to drinking in a controlled manner.
I've learned from this thread that everyone's drinking is different.
Indeed. Do you think it can never be controlled at all Billy. In any circumstance?
I do like your take on it all Billy. Most refreshing just to pull it up into context mate. What if Andy does control it? Would you think he has or would you be looking to his demise as he has started on that slippery road back into alcoholism.Surely somewhere there is someone who beats the odds?
I respect your opinion mate, im sure we all do. BUT, its an addiction. Can an addiction be managed. Any addiction? I know i cant control mine but whats to say someone somewhere is able to sort it. Are any addictions beyond help?
Can an addiction be managed. Any addiction?
I hope mate because i want to see someone without a burdening addiction. I want to see a former addict lead a normal life. I agree with what you say Billy but you, i and many in here have seen what this addiction does to us. Im just hoping maybe someone can deal with it. Yes i want to revert to drinking normally, will that happen? I doubt it. Is that what im hoping to do if Andy does it? No. Im just tired of what it has done to many ppl iknow and i just hanker for someone to beat the odds. May be futile but hope is all ive got left to be honest.
Hypothetically i see ' normal ' as a drink without the fuck ups and reliance on alcohol.
