text: TAMPA (AP) - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is planning today to discuss veterans' issues via satellite with the crowd at the Republican National Convention as 2008 presidential nominee John McCain speaks in person. Romney will address the American Legion, a veterans' service organization, in Indianapolis. Republican officials said Romney is finalizing plans to appear on video in the convention hall and speak in conjunction with McCain, a Navy veteran who was a prisoner of war. McCain is slated to speak at 8 p.m. and plans to address national security issues. Two hours later, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is slated to discuss foreign policy. Today's convention agenda wraps up with a speech from Romney's vice presidential running mate, Paul Ryan. Romney's convention speech is set for Thursday evening.

The View From The Top
It's good to be the boss. Three powerful women share the highs, lows, and biggest surprises of their kick-ass careers.
By Leslie Bennetts
Photo Credit: Anthony Cook
Natalie Massenet, Founder and Executive Chairman, Net-a-Porter
After growing up in Paris and Los Angeles as the daughter of a Chanel model and a foreign correspondent, Natalie Massenet took to fashion journalism so easily it didn't seem like a serious career. "I couldn't believe I was getting paid, because to me it was just fun," she says. "Then I realized I was really passionate about it. When you love something, it doesn't feel like work."
A stint as West Coast fashion editor for Women's Wear Daily and W provided "a great education," Massenet says. "There were so many things in my job description writing, styling, producing, researching. It was an amazing lesson in how resourceful you can be in getting things done, and a great foundation for starting a business."
Which she did, with spectacular results: Massenet will go down in fashion history as the founder of Net-a-Porter, the online luxury shopping site that blended fashion journalism with retail to become a global empire. With 42 million unique visitors last year and shipments to 170 countries, the company was sold to the Swiss luxury goods company Richemont for $532 million, netting a reported $76 million for Massenet, who retained 18 percent of Net-a-Porter and remained as its executive chairman.
Massenet's original career plan was actually quite different: She had hoped to become editor-in-chief of a magazine in New York. But by the late 1990s, she was increasingly obsessed with new possibilities. "I was saying to my friends, 'The Internet is going to change everything in fashion you clever guys should do that over there!'" she recalls. "But my friends in business were not getting it. So I thought, Let me show you!"
After picking up a pamphlet from Barclays Bank on how to start a business, Massenet convinced 35 brands to give her stock on consignment and called everyone she knew to contribute $15,000 each to help assemble the nearly $1 million she needed to capitalize her new venture.
"I was three months pregnant when I started working on it," says Massenet, whose daughters are now 5 and 12. "I never had any doubt that women would shop online, but I never thought in a million years that our business would end up being a market leader."
To achieve that goal, Massenet has worked with single-minded focus. "It's a miracle that I have any friends left because I really disappeared for 10 years," she says. "I was completely binary; either I was working or with the kids. Both parts of my life are so consuming, but together they give me incredible balance. I think I'm a better mother because of work, because I'm happy. If I wasn't working, I would just be waiting for the kids to come home every day, and living vicariously through their lives."
For Massenet, who is vacationing on the Greek island of Santorini even as we speak by phone, work has created a fabulously different way of life. "Work means independence," she says. "It allowed me to shape my life on so many levels. I've taken an active role in creating the day-to-day life I wanted, by creating the type of place I'd like to work in. It's given me financial independence. And it's given me amazing self-confidence to know that there are no gender secrets to success. You have to work hard and be determined, but it's got nothing to do with being a man or a woman."
And new possibilities continue to beckon. "There's a tremendous amount of competition all over the world, and we're now in a completely different phase, which is reinvention," says Massenet, who is now 46. "I still feel like it's Day One. There's so much to do!"
A decade after the company was founded, Massenet says it will soon have 2,000 employees and is hiring about 100 new people a month from a pool of 3,000 weekly applicants. The original Net-a-Porter site for women has been joined by Mr. Porter for men, as well as the discount site The Outnet; other ventures include Web-enabled television in partnership with Google. "Watch something, read something, and then shop it," Massenet explains. "It's never content without commerce or commerce without content; the two are completely fused. This is what excites me."
So does the constant challenge of keeping up-to-date. "People are really scared of change, but if you don't change in this day and age, somebody comes along and runs over you," Massenet says. "In order to stay relevant, you have to stay open to new trends and keep educating yourself. You have to keep evolving."
And when she gets overwhelmed, she simply tells herself, "Just take one step, and one step, and one step. I do get stressed, but I try to make lists, pick out priorities, and focus. I think, Just keep doing your best. You don't have to be superhuman. No one else is superhuman, either."
1. KNOW YOUR FIELD: "The important thing is knowing what you're going to do and being an expert in what you want to do. It can be something very simple, like being an artist doing screen prints on T-shirts. But don't pick an industry you have nothing to do with, and make sure you have a basic skill set or knowledge."
2. DEVELOP A VIABLE BUSINESS MODEL: "Start small, do everything beautifully, have the right people around you, and make sure what you do generates money, because you can't sustain a business that doesn't make money. It sounds simple, but a lot of people don't have any idea of how they're going to make the money."
3. GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME: "Never forget that you only have one opportunity to make a first impression with investors, with customers, with PR, and with marketing."
4. PLAN FOR THE LONG TERM: "When I started, my entire salary went into paying the nanny. But I knew my salary would increase. You are building something, and your business gets bigger. I can invest today and get the return tomorrow."

The Earl of Bridgewater reported from the Committee, the Bill for annulling the Attainder of Alicia
Lysle Widow; and they are of Opinion, "That it is
fit to pass, without any Amendment."
Whereupon the House ordered the said Bill to be
The Earl of Bridgewater also reported, "That the
Opinion of the Committee is, That the Bill for Naturalization of Henry of Nassaw and others is fit to
pass as it is, without any Amendments."
Hodie 3a
vice lecta est Billa, "An Act for Naturalization of Henry Nassau and others."
The Question being put, "Whether this Bill shall
pass for a Law?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
This Day being appointed to hear Sir Robert Wright,
Sir Richard Holloway, and Mr. Justice Powell, concerning the Proceedings in the Court of King's Bench
against the Earl of Devon, in Easter Terme, 3° Jacobi
IIdi, upon an Information for an Assault upon Mr. Culpeper in Whitehall:
And the said Sir Rob't Wright and Sir Richard Holloway being at the Bar, and Mr. Justice Powell in his
Place, and Mr. Bradbury and Mr. Petyt (who were
appointed by the House to attend this Day) being permitted by the House to stand at the End of the Clerks
Table, where also stood the Clerk of the Crown-office
in the King's Bench, and his Deputy, with the Records
relating to this Matter; which Deputy having publicly
read the said Record:
And being asked, "What they had to say for themselves in this Business?"
Mr. Justice Powell said to this Effect: "It was his
great Misfortune, that he was misguided by some Books
which he looked on as Authorities, which he finds by
their Lordships Judgements are not so; and he humbly
begged their Lordships and the Earl of Devon's Pardon. As to the Fine, he looked on 3000£. to be
Fine enough. His Silence in that Business was his
greatest Fault, for which he also begged Pardon."
Then Sir Rob't Wright said to this Effect: "That as
to the Breach of Privilege, they were misguided by
Precedents; as to the Fine (which is usually set according to the Quality and Estate of the Person fined),
it came from the Puny Judge Thirty Thousand Pounds,
and so to him last, according to the Course of the
Court. And if he was mistaken, he begged Pardon; for
he never had the least Disrespect to the Lord of Devon."
Then Sir Richard Holloway spake to this Effect:
He, as Second Judge, pronounced the Fine 30,000£.
which was set Nemine Contradicente; and if a lesser
Fine had been proposed, he should have accepted
it; and did not justify the Proceedings, but looked on
it as an excessive Fine; and begged my Lord Devon's
Pardon, and submitted all to their Lordships."
And then they being asked, "Whether they had
no Discourse together before, concerning the said
Sir Rob't Wright said, "We discoursed not of the
Fine, but in Court."
Sir Richard Holloway also declared, "He had no
Direction from either the King or Chancellor about
the said Fine."
Whereupon Mr. Justice Powell said, "Sir Richard
Holloway may remember there was a Discourse of
the Fine 5 or 6 Days before at the Lord Chancellor's,
where Sir Rob't Wright, Sir Richard Holloway, Sir
Richard Allibone, and himself, were."
"This, Sir Richard Holloway said, he did not remember."
And Sir Rob't Wright denied that they met there purposely about the said Fine.
Then they withdrew.
Mr. Justice Powell being asked, "What Discourse
they had at the Lord Chancellor's?" said, "The Lord
Chancellor first proposed Twenty Thousand Pounds;
but afterwards said it would be better if Thirty
Thousand Pounds, and then the King might abate
Ten Thousand: To this he declared his Dislike to the
other Judges, but not before the Chancellor."
After Debate, the House were of Opinion,
"That the Court of King's Bench in over-ruling the
Earl of Devon's Plea of Privilege of Parliament, and
forcing him to plead over in Chief, it being within
the usual Time of Privilege, did thereby commit a
manifest Breach of the Privilege of Parliament.
"That the Fine of Thirty Thousand Pounds imposed by the Court of King's Bench, upon the Earl
of Devon, was excessive and exorbitant, against Magna
Charta, the common Right of the Subject, and against
the Law of the Land."
ORDERED, That the Judges this Day present do
give their Opinions To-morrow, at Ten of the Clock
in the Forenoon, how the Law stands as to the Commitment of a Peer upon a Fine to the King.
ORDERED, That the Keeper of the Prison of Newgate be, and is hereby, required to bring in safe Custody
to this House Sir Rob't Wright, To-morrow at Ten of
the Clock in the Forenoon; and this shall be a sufficient
Warrant on that Behalf.
To the Keeper of Newgate, or his Deputy.
ORDERED, That Sir Richard Holloway, Sir Francis
Withins, and Mr. Justice Powell, be, and are hereby, required to attend this House To-morrow, at Ten of the
Clock in the Forenoon.
ORDERED, That this House will hear the Cause depending in this House, wherein Nathaniell Agutter is
Plaintiff, and Mary Collins Widow and others are Defendants, on Friday the 10th Instant, at Ten of the
Clock in the Forenoon.
ORDERED, That this House will hear Sir Richard
Holloway and Sir Francis Withins, to give their Reasons
or Grounds for their Judgement given against Tytus
Otes, To-morrow, at Ten of the Clock in the Forenoon.
Marq. de Halyfax, Orator Procerum pro Tempore,
declaravit præsens Parliamentum continuandum esse usque
in diem Martis, videlicet, 7um diem instantis Maii, hora
decima Aurora, Dominis sic decernentibus.
Hitherto examined by us, this 27th Day of June, 1689,
J. Bridgewater.

Nearly 750 people attended Community Foundation of Acadiana's (CFA) third annual Leaders in Philanthropy Awards Luncheon on Friday, November 15, at the Cajundome Convention Center in Lafayette. The event celebrated the following outstanding philanthropists from eight parishes across Acadiana who have made a positive impact in their communities:
Acadia Parish - Raymond and Catherine "Kitty" Hensgens
Evangeline Parish - Suzy Bulliard Lemoine
Iberia Parish - Jerry & Harriet Shea, Sr.
Lafayette Parish - Dwight "Bo" & Jerry Ramsay
St. Landry Parish - Keith & Ginger Myers
St. Martin Parish - Jane G. Bulliard & Patricia D. Resweber
St. Mary Parish - Dr. Thomas F. & Mrs. Glenna G. Kramer
Vermilion Parish - Jim & Charlotte Doyle
Short videos about each nominee and CFA were shown at the luncheon, which was aptly held on National Philanthropy Day. The event also featured keynote speaker Roy Spence, co-founder and chairman of GSD&M, a national and leading marketing communications and advertising company. He is also co-founder and CEO of The Purpose Institute; a consulting firm that helps people and organizations discover and live their purpose.
Nominations for the Leaders In Philanthropy Awards were received from CFA stakeholders to recognize an individual, couple or group (i.e., family or corporation) who have made an impact in their communities through philanthropy. Award recipients either reside or work in the parishes in which they received the award. CFA's Board of Directors Emeriti reviewed all applications and made final selections. "We are very proud of the process the Foundation underwent to carefully select the 2013 Leaders in Philanthropy Award recipients," said Raymond J. Hébert, Jr., CFA president & CEO. "They didn't ask to be recognized - that's why we're doing it. They're good people doing great things in their communities."

My knee
I have been having problems with both knees recently- pain when I go up or downstairs- suddenly- but not all the time.
Anyway my physio said I had 'knackered knees' and would put tape on them to sort of keep the kneecap in place. The tape only lasted a couple of days but it gave me a bit of support.
Anyway stepping out of the shower 12 days ago with no tape ( in between appointments) I got this sharp pain in right knee which mad me lean on my left knee with the result that I slipped across the floor- falling on my back and left knee. I have been on crutches since- had an MRI on left knee which I cannot use yesterday- Knee consultant told me that he thinks I have torn the miniscus and will need an op. Am waiting for him to confirm. Hurts like mad- I am used to pain but still
Am really worried about my back as obviously my hobbling around is not helping the crappy discs that I have got.
Cannot do much - sleep or move which is BAD for my scoliosis management.
How do I go about making sure that any treatment I have takes into account my back. I had less than 10 minutes with the consultant and I told him about the scoliosis, but although I appreciate that his remit was my knee I have to be so careful that they don't fix my knee and leave me in a bad state because of my back. I am tempted to say leave it to heal by itself and not have any surgery.
Simple things like the fact that I cannot lie on my back without extreme pain etc. which is so difficult to convey to nurses and hospital staff. The MRI was awful and my back kept spasming. They are sort of sympathetic but nit is so difficult to convey the problem. I end up minimising everything and then dealing with the fallout myself
I just don't know what to do- needless to say my PLIF is going to have to be re-scheduled.

Re: My knee
Ugh what a mess I really feel for you. I had an awful time when I was in hospital with my bowel perforations because it really set off my back issues - I was waiting for revision surgery at the time and on morphine patches and god knows what else. I think all you can do is make sure your voice is heard and not let yourself be fobbed off - says the person who never stands up for herself in these situations
Me, a Mod? Nah ... I'll always be a rocker
Re: My knee
Oh no - I am so very sorry. You really don't need this. I had a torn MCL in 2007 and I still have issues with that knee these days. I luckily did not need an op but had about 8 months of intense physio. It still hurts today and there are lots of things I could do before that I cannot even contemplate now such as jogging or speed walking. The elliptical is the only thing that I can do these days (7 years on) that helps my back and does not hurt my knee.
I really don't know what to advise other than to be firm with the doctors and get them to understand your situation. Don't ever worry about making a fuss - sometimes you need to go all out to make them appreciate the physical issues you have to manage. During a check-up last year (I wont say what as it is woman's issue) I was in a nasty position for my lower back. I asked the nurse to be in another position and she said "This is how everybody does it Miss" so I then had to resort to yelping in pain (I was acting to a certain degree to be honest...) and it was amazing how fast she was then able to change my position. I hated having to make such a huge fuss. On the other hand, during my thyroid biopsy I lay flat and it hurt but I said nothing (a pillow under the knees would have helped me). I still kick myself because it aggravated my back pain so much that I could not sleep well for many weeks.
So please make a fuss. Just know we are all there with you in spirit
Re: My knee
The MRI on my knee did not show a meniscal tear. It just showed swelling etc. and a Strained MCL
The consultant said to me to have physio and come back afterwards.
oh the joys of physio- I still cannot weight bear and tiptoe on the injured leg - much to the physio's disgust - he tells me I must not limp.
It is still so painful- it is 6 weeks now. It is a bit better but the pain in my hips and back is so bad now- I know I have made it worse because of the uneven gait and hobbling about.
I am concerned because my knees were giving me trouble before I fell (they were the cause of my fall in the first place) - should I raise this with the consultant when I go back or would he have picked this up himself from the MRI if there was anything that he could do to improve them.
I am sick of physio -

Re: My knee
Obviously I've not been around so not sure about your whole situation, but what are you doing with regards to exercises for your knees?
I spent a few years with really shonky knees and thought it was just par for the course. They did an arthroscopy on my left one after an MRI didn't show anything and quelle surprise there was nothing to see.
When I went for post op physio the lady took one look at me and said all my treatment thus far had been totally pointless, because the problem was clearly the scoliosis/flat feet and gave me a bunch of exercises that have totally changed the situation.
Re: My knee
I don't have any exercises for my knee. Before the fall the physio would put a big piece of tape across each knee- to sort of keep the kneecap in place ( I think) and that was it. Then I fell and when I go now he does ultra sound on the injured one and tries to help me straighten it.
Can I ask what exercises you had? What did the arthroscopy show. If they suggest one should I just say no as my MRI just showed a lot of swelling.
I don't mind an arthroscopy but not if it means I have to limp for more weeks as the effect on my lower back and my other knee is terrible

Re: My knee
Hi Burdle
My old man had an op on his knees a few years ago, the consultnt gave him lots of exercises which he still does and he thinks it helps
Next time I see him I will find out what the exercises were and how to do them
Hope that helps a little

Re: My knee
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis in my knees and find steroid injections a great help. Maybe these could help you with the awful pain you've been having. I do hope things improve for you soon, XXX
Re: My knee
Hi Burdle, I'm really sorry you're suffering with your knee. I'm afraid I can't really help but I'm thinking of you
37 years old, diagnosed with infantile idiopathic scoliosis at 6 months old with curves of 62(T) and 40(L) degrees. Casting and Milwaukee braces until surgery at 10 - ant release/pos fusion T1-T12, halo traction. Post op cast and then TLSO. Further surgery at 18 (ant release/pos fusion extended to L3 to include lumbar curve, costoplasty) and 25 (another costoplasty). Fusion extended to L4 at 33 (XLIF with 4 pedicle screws and two short rods). Pre-op curves: 76(T) and 70(L). Post-op curves: 45(T) and 35(L). Diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome aged 34; scoliosis almost certainly due to this rather than being idiopathic.
Re: My knee
I had an arthroscopy several year ago after having trouble with my knee. I actually didn't find it too bad - like Els, they didn't find anything fixable (the MRI - in a very old machine - had suggested a meniscal tear, but all there was to find were several deep scratches in it), however, they gave the knee a thorough clean and flush. This actually seemed to help, and they weren't at all surprised that it did, as apparently even then it was known that just doing a rinse out could help. There has recently been a study of this which shows that it seems to help in a lot of cases, I can't remember what the conclusions were as to why.
As far as the limping goes, and whether an arthroscopy would be problematic for that, well, there's no guarantees but I can certainly say that my experience of it wasn't bad. I was sent home with strict care instructions including that I was not to fiddle with the bandages or dressing for 48 hours because the compression was important, but about 5 or 6 hours after the surgery I had to re-bandage my knee myself because the swelling had gone down enough that the bandage fell off! I didn't need to take any painkillers for it, and within something like 3 days I was walking slowly, but pretty much back to normal. I'd have it done again without a moment's hesitation if it was needed (unfortunately, as I have fairly severe patello-femoral arthritis, it's most likely that the next surgery I'll have on it will be a replacement Hey ho!)
I think it could definitely be worth getting assessment for whether you have flat feet, and if so whether you've got valgus knees (ie they bend inward / knock knees), as this would be pretty easy to treat in most cases. If you're hypermobile anywhere, it's a lot more likely that you have this (for reference, the doc I saw with regard to the hypermobility, and who is extremely nice and I'm sure would write to your GP with recommendations for what treatment to pursue, is Dr Jenkinson from RNHRD in Bath - it costs about £200 to see him privately.) However, as you've got several joints playing up now, I'd also suggest seeing if your GP will do blood tests to check for the inflammatory arthropathies, just to rule them out.
One final thing, which may well be irrelevant, do you rush around? I always walked very briskly - I cannot be doing with dithering along and dawdling. However, what I've learned is that when something is playing up, if it's making me limp, I tend to try to be even more brisk to make up for the fact it's taking me longer to get anywhere, but in fact what I need to do is slow the heck down, give myself longer to get to places and concentrate on walking carefully. It can't fully get rid of a limp, obviously, but it can help you not to knot up everywhere from fighting with yourself
Diagnosed at 15 with 50° curve, but probably juvenile IS. Fused in kyphosis (by non-specialised ortho) with a/p surgery T10-L2 @ 21, posterior only revision surgery to correct kyphosis @ 29. Now 38 with further revision surgery and extension of fusion to sacrum required to correct residual kyphosis, restore lordosis and address spinal stenosis.
Re: My knee
Just seen my physio again and he is faxing the consultant as letter asking him to see me again. He thinks my knee should be improving but it isn't as my whole leg from knee to ankle is swollen and the knee hurts badly when I move it - especially if I try to straighten it.
If anything my kneecaps sort of both point outwards. When I stand both my feet point outwards towards 10.0clock if looking at a clock face. I remember my mother waling like this when she had smart shoes on - she had scoliosis too.

Re: My knee
Just seen the knee guy again and he is going to do an arthroscopy because as he says he doesn't know why my knee isn't improving.
I had all the pre-op tests this morning.. My blood pressure is 165/125!!!
A RMO is going to phone me apparently - Maybe it is because of the swelling. I don't normally have high blood pressure. Am worried and not a little scared.

Re: My knee
Arthroscopy is hit and miss for some but it's a very good diagnostic procedure all the same. 7 months on I'm in less pain following mine on my left knee. I too went through jumping the hoops of doctors and physios like yourself until a surgeon told me despite my 'clear' scans he wasn't convinced and went in and found a lot more than anticipated. I now have less pain and slightly less swelling from the original issues (fat pad impingement and patella maltracking) but others have since arose that will lead me to further surgery eventually but until then I'm far more comfortable. I was off work 8 weeks in total and being on 2 sticks put a lot of pressure on my back but the result made it worth it. Just be sure to follow their every order with regards to recovery and rehabilitation as it really does affect the results of your surgery where your knees are concerned 😉.

Re: My knee
Hope you're OK Burdle!
Me, a Mod? Nah ... I'll always be a rocker
Re: My knee
Have just had my blood pressure read again- still consistently around 100 for diastolic- physio took it 175/98 and then 168/109 and then 3 readings over 98 which is a bit better I suppose.
I think that dealing with chronic pain must take its toll.

Over on our sister Web site Explore3DTV.com, someone asks about recording 3D content:
Just curious, but if I record a show, say the World Cup, in 3D on my DVR, does it play back in 3D? Do I need a 3D DVR for that? Not really sure how that technology works.
We turned to HD Guru Gary Merson, who tells us that yes indeed you can record 3D content to a DVR and play it back in all its 3D glory:
I have successfully recorded the Masters in 3D on my Cablevision-supplied Scientific Atlanta (Cisco) HD set-top cable box and a TiVo Premiere. I have also recorded a number of World Cup games in 3D on the DirecTV HR22 and HR24 DVRs.
All broadcasts were in side-by-side 1080i providing 960 x 1080 resolution per eye.

Communication always evolves. Modern communication is all about effectiveness and uses many tools in the process. For e.g, PowerPoint presentations are continuously used by corporate to get the point across. There are many areas for business communication. Having a website is good, but how effectively it is developed is a question that needs continuous attention. From the basic layout to the content organization everything affects the communication strategy. Respecting audience is the key for adding effectiveness to communication efforts. Knowing their tastes and preference will help us to become a better communicator.
A body language can reveal lot of things about a person. During a communication process, body language plays an important role. The success or failure of a negotiation is all depends on how well one controls his or her body language during the communication.
A lot of things we can learn from a rooster. A rooster self-assumes the responsibility of announcing the day break helping villagers to start the day with renewed vigor and enthusiasm. Does its job in due time without any compulsion.

Flipping through the pages of People Magazine, you may have noticed recommendations for two of Saffron Rouge's favorite products, RMS Beauty Living Luminzer and RMS Beauty Raw Coconut Cream.
The beauty editors at People say RMS Beauty Living Luminizer is the perfect make up accessory to "get a healthy glow," pointing out that it can also be used to add a sexy glow over the cheekbones and can be used to highlight the collar bone and shoulders. We couldn't agree more!
Turning their attention to Raw Coconut Cream, RMS Beauty founder and make up artist Rose-Marie Swift used her signature products to create a sexy look for Gisele Bündchen at the Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala.
"We wanted Gisele to look naturally sophisticated, making the look more modern and not falling into a retro direction," Rose-Marie told People Magazine. "Use coconut oil on your body at night. It will help soothe and hydrate your skin if you've stayed in the sun too long."
RMS Beauty Raw Coconut Cream replenishes and refines your skin giving you radiance and moisture. This revolutionary skin care formula is made from pure, certified organic, raw, unrefined virgin coconut oil. The cream contains amazing skin healing and cleansing properties that protect the skin from free radical damage and premature aging.
Visit RMS Beauty on Saffron Rouge for more information on this outstanding line.

LOS ANGELES — The description of the LAPD's new pilot project sounds more like a cat.
It's black, quiet and able to sneak up behind people without them noticing.
But the department isn't expanding its animal division, instead they've recently purchased a Zero MMX, a specially built military-grade electric motorcycle. The bike is currently being used by the LAPD off-road unit, which patrols mountain terrain and other locations not accessible to police vehicles or trucks, said Sgt. Rob Alberca, the officer in charge of the unit.

Yellow Squash Bake
Golden, crumb-topped oven entrees are the quintessential image of comfort food and this one fits the picture perfectly. "A friend gave me the recipe," Lisa Eldridge writes from Topeka, Kansas. "It's excellent." With crushed saltine crackers, squash and lots of cheese, the savory side dish is ideal for chasing chills.
15 Servings
Prep: 35 min. Bake: 40 min. + standing
3 pounds yellow summer squash, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 medium onions, sliced
1 cup butter, melted,
5 eggs
2 cups heavy whipping cream
5 cups (20 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese,
2-1/2 cups crushed saltines,
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Place squash in a large saucepan or Dutch oven; add 1 in. of water.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5-6 minutes or
until crisp-tender. Drain well. In a large skillet, saute onions in
1/4 cup butter until tender; add squash and gently combine. Transfer
to a large bowl.
In another large bowl, combine eggs, cream, 4-1/2 cups cheese, 2 cups
saltine crumbs, salt, pepper and remaining butter. Pour over squash
mixture; stir gently to combine. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x
9-in. baking dish.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining
cheese and saltine crumbs. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is
melted and crumbs are golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before
serving. Yield: 15 servings.

My first character died last night (stupid black dragon) and I am torn between a Monk and a Psion, specifically a telepathic based one, for my next roll.
I am rather unfamiler with the game and have no idea what the 'tier list' is so to speak. To be honest I am more concerned with the RP aspects of the classes but I am curious as to how they stack up later in the game.
Any thoughts or advice would be welcome.
Thanks for your time

VFW elves
Ramona Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3783, with its Men's and Ladies auxiliaries, delivered toys, food and clothes to the Active Duty Military Housing in Ramona. The post adopted 14 families this year with a total of 30 children. While Santa and his elves visited the adopted families to hand out their gifts, other post members spread out additional donated toys to be distributed to the children in other families. The Ramona Community Brass Band played Christmas carols in the parking lot while the children and their families selected toys. Sleigh driver Bill Bryant and his wife, Judy, added to the festivities by filling their motorized sleigh with VFW members for the event. Red-nosed Rudolph and friends "pull" the sleigh from the VFW post to the military housing. Photo courtesy of Ramona VFW

- Studio: Lorber Films
- Release Date: Sep 10, 2010
- Summary: A wildly entertaining, star-studded documentary about The Beatles's favorite American musician, Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin' About Him)? is a vibrant and definitive portrait of one of the most talented singer-songwriters in pop music history. Directed by Emmy and Grammy nominee John Scheinfeld (The U.S. Vs. John Lennon), the film combines compelling interviews with Nilsson's family, friends and colleagues — including Brian Wilson, Randy Newman, Robin Williams, Micky Dolenz and Yoko Ono — with rare and never-before-seen archival footage, home movies, and excerpts from a recently discovered oral autobiography. The film delves deeply into Nilsson's artistic process, his spirited relationship with John Lennon, and the additions that haunted him in and outside the studio — as well as the peace he found as a devoted husband and father. (Lorber Films)… Expand
- Director: John Scheinfeld
- Genre(s): Music, Documentary
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 6 out of 9
Mixed: 3 out of 9
Negative: 0 out of 9
If nothing else, Scheinfeld captures the essence of the Nilsson experience, and how, according to his attorney, "He would turn up at your door at 4 in the morning, and you knew that the next three days were going to be an adventure."
The point of it is not, in the end, to explain him or solve the mystery of his life, but rather to spend time in his company and understand why he is someone to be missed.
A worthwhile portrait of a genius who made beautiful music, and a case study for how to tragically, epically self-destruct.
The director doesn't bother to interview the experts-only those who knew the man best.
It's a safe bet that exposure to the film should cause audiences to make room on their iPods for some serious downloading.
Director John Scheinfeld's film, utilizing interviews with friends and collaborators, hits a high note on Nilsson's friendship with Ringo Starr and his fear of stage performance.
Score distribution:
Positive: 2 out of 2
Mixed: 0 out of 2
Negative: 0 out of 2
May 17, 2012I would call Harry Nilsson a maverick because he refused to conform and took an unorthodox stand for an artist in his business, the very definition of the word. I just recently watched the 2010 version of the documentary (earlier versions are not as complete according to my research) and though I was familiar with his musicography I knew little about his life; this film filled that void. It is an excellent biodocumentary; I trust you will come to the same conclusion. I only got to know all his music in recent times but it's never too late to discover good music and a voice like his. The editing is faultless and the special effects montage of the stills make them come alive.Other reviews comment about the movies festivals overwhelming positive response for this movie; the movie did live up to those comments.
The movie explains why he was such a well kept secret; his music was very popular and many other artists praised and used his work but the man did not want to be a public figure he just wanted his work to be appreciated. What a life this movie depicts. Once you start watching it, you don't want to stop and as some other reviewers wrote it could have lasted three hours and still would have watched it all; this is especially true if you know even a little about his music. Just to make a point that will get the message of who he was: John Lennon said he was his favourite, Paul McCartney had two favourite artists, Brian Wilson and Harry Nilsson, Brian Wilson praised Harry in this documentary and Randy Newman said he felt honoured to have Nilsson make an album exclusively of his songs despite the record companies reticence. I chose to write this review at this particular time for a reason; I'm glad it was about this documentary and I'll leave at that. I hope you discover Harry Nilsson from his music and this movie may just help you do that.… Expand

The Real Housewives of New Jersey look for some help from a professional but when it's all just "Temporary Shrinkage" can you expect the results to last? We recap all of the drama of therapy in this week's THG +/- review!
Is that really just a garage Joe and Teresa are building back there?
It's bigger than most single family homes but then again do these two know how to do anything normal? Minus 10.
But Plus 8 for appearances. The Guidice kids may act like brats but they look adorable in those matching overalls and even Joe seems more human as he tries to teach his little girls how to spread the concrete.
In an unexpected surprise Rosie shows up on the Guidice doorstep ticked off because of all the things she's read about Teresa putting down her sister. Minus 9. That's been going on for over a year now. What took her so long?
Teresa just looks at her perplexed as though she doesn't know what she's talking about and remarks that she doesn't store things in her brain. Yeah. No kidding.

Flex Retirement
Bending and stretching to meet retirement goals in a recession
With the current financial crisis, surveys show pre-retirees are delaying retirement. A retirement on hold, however, doesn't have to mean the same old job with the same old schedule until portfolios and savings can recover. Full retirement may have to wait, but the work-life flexibility pre-retirees hope for may still be possible, along with continued financial security.
Here are five steps for near retirees to follow to develop a work life "fit" that still provides the financial benefits of work as well as increased work-life flexibility. Employers in a "do more with less" environment can benefit too.
1. Understand how flexibility helps you find your "fit" by adjusting how you work, where you work or when you work. This could mean reduce your schedule, shift your hours, telecommute, become a consultant, share a job, work fewer, longer days per week, etc.
2. Challenge your notion of "work." This is not your parents' retirement with the gold watch and the golf course. Employees over 50 need to break out of their "all or nothing" definition of what "work" entails. To see the possibilities, get past your mindset that if you are not at work Monday-Friday, in a physical space with everyone else on a set schedule, then you aren't working. Examples include:

The basic rule of nutrition for anyone looking to stay thin is to burn more calories than they consume. Technically, this means one may choose one or both of two options. The first and easier option is to consume foods that are low in calories. Foods that are low in calories ensure that you have enough energy to go about your daily work routine and social life without feeling exhausted or moody. The other option is to exercise daily so as to get rid of extra calories consumed during meal times. People looking to stay thin prefer to combine both methods for the best results.
Fitness experts are of the opinion that the best chances of success at staying thin are achieved by eating only the right foods. The following are the best foods to stay in shape and looking great.
Eating vegetables fills you up, hydrates your body and provides it with vitamins and minerals that are not only guaranteed to keep you thin but give your skin a youthful glow. Vegetables are nutrient dense- this means that a small portion goes a long way in nourishing your body. Cruciferous vegetables like brussel sprouts, asparagus, broccoli and cauliflower contain negative calories. This means that they contain fewer calories than required to digest them and thus, are perfect for keeping you thin.
Fruits are delicious and succulent and that makes them the perfect option for snacking, meal replacement, guilt-free dessert and healthy drinks. The beauty of fruits, as is the case with vegetables, is that they can be transform high calorie desserts into low-calorie pies, crumbles and tarts. Fruits are fibrous and aid in digestion too. They are full of mineral and vitamin goodness to keep you in the best health. They are also low in carbohydrates and artery-clogging fats.
Whole grains
Processed grains are a no-no for anyone looking to stay thin. White bread, doughnuts, cream puffs, pretzels, hotdog and burger buns, and all kinds of goodies found in the bakery made from white floor should be avoided or eaten minimally. You should focus on consuming whole grains. The beauty of whole grains is that they are have undergone little or no processing. Therefore, they have not been stripped of fiber and nutrients. Fibrous whole grains keep you full for longer and keep cravings at bay.
Last, but certainly not least, is every thin person's best friend, water. Health experts recommend that you drink eight glasses of water a day. Further, it is recommended that you drink a glass of water every time you feel hungry. Most times we wrongly interpret dehydration to be hunger and eat while our bodies just needed a glass of water. Drink a glass of water first thing in the morning to cleanse your system. You should also drink water before meals to ensure you consume less once you start eating. Drink your water however you like it, cold, hot, warm or in herbal teas, such as green tea for fabulous results.

Among the things (not all of them edible) that I brought back from Italy, there is a package of riso Carnaroli integrale (whole-grain Carnaroli rice) purchased at the farmers' market in Milan. The rice is grown in a farm (azienda agricola) not far from the city. The label describes the product as non trattato, which I interpret as meaning that no chemicals were used in growing it. The farm can be visited, and this is something I would like to do the next time I am in the area.
In the meantime, I used the riso integrale to make risotto. My plan was to use some pomodorini ciliegia (cherry tomatoes) and some of the salvia (sage) from my herb garden to season the risotto. I grow several kinds of sage and the one I used this time is the pineapple one, whose smell I love. When I got back home, some of the branches displayed pretty red flowers, which make hummingbirds very happy.
Print-friendly version of briciole's recipe for Whole-grain risotto with tomato and sage
- 2 1/2 cups / 600 ml vegetable broth, possibly homemade
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup / 4 tablespoons minced onion
- 5-6 leaves of pineapple sage, slivered (see Note below)
- 4 oz. / 113 g cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered (depending on their size)
- 1 cup / 200 g whole-grain Carnaroli rice
- 2 tablespoons / 30 ml white wine, not cold
- 1/2 cup / 120 ml water
- 1/4 cup of myzithra or ricotta salata, grated
- Sea salt, to taste
Note: The quantity of sage depends not only on your taste, but also on the intensity of flavor of the kind you use and on the size of its leaves. The leaves of my pineapple sage are fairly large.
Soak the rice for 5-6 hours.
Bring vegetable broth to a simmer in a small saucepan and maintain it at that temperature.
In the meantime, in a larger pan, warm up the olive oil, then add the onion and sage. Cook on low until the onion is translucent, then add the cherry tomatoes.
After 3-4 minutes, add the rice, drained, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add the white wine and stir. Let the wine evaporate, while stirring the rice, then start adding the simmering broth, a ladleful at a time, and letting the rice absorb it.
Keep the risotto at a nice simmer and stir it at regular intervals. Make sure it never gets dry.
When you pour the last ladleful of broth, bring to simmer the water and add it as needed until the rice is cooked (35 minutes in my case, consistent with the information on the label, which says 30-35 minutes). The texture will be different from risotto made with regular Carnaroli rice, a bit chewy, instead of creamy: take that into account when tasting it.
Remove the pan from the heat, add the cheese of choice, adjust the salt, stir, then let the risotto rest, covered, for a few minutes while you gather the guests around the table.
Serve and enjoy!
This is my submission for the (drumroll, please) third anniversary of Weekend Herb Blogging. My heartfelt congratulations to the creator of this popular blogging event, Kalyn of Kalyn's Kitchen. And many thanks as well, for being such an exceptional organizer. Here is the roundup of WHB #156.
After three years at the helm, Kalyn is passing the baton to Haalo of Cook (almost) Anything at Least Once. Here is the introductory post from Haalo, where she explains what happens next.
