I love shooting in striking locations because it helps to add another level of visual interest to my images. The location can help tell the story, or it give graphic impact to a series of photos.
What's one of the main problems with going out on location? You must control the light, and you must also manage equipment on location. I like to keep it simple… as simple as possible. I find that I don't need an entire studio setup outside or 10 lenses to do the job. In fact, I can accomplish almost all of what I need with a reflector and a couple of lenses. If it doesn't have to be complicated… why complicate it?
This February I was invited to do a shoot for the online photo show "Framed" where I could capture my vision, shoot an editorial, and also educate an audience. At the time I was out in Las Vegas and was close to a location I had been dying to shoot for ages. Nelson Ghost Town is less than an hour from Las Vegas. It is an old ghost town (and tourist attraction) filled with old cars, buildings, and even an old crashed plane. In other words, its a photographer's playground! It has been used on the set of dozens of movies, fashion editorials and even music videos. One of my colleagues had photographed there a few years before and I had fallen in love with the images. I love the location so much that I am actually hosting a fashion intensive there this fall! The owners of the location have transplanted old buildings, gas pumps and a variety of props that make this look like a ghost town frozen in time from decades in the past. That is what I am drawn to for this location… its feel of being frozen in time (not just the props or grunge textures).
I did my research on the ghost town, and studied the types of images that had been created. Most were lit with studio on location or lots of reflectors, including a lot of the environment. I wanted to do something unique and eye catching, so I decided I wanted to create images that felt frozen in time. I decided to play with the concept of two sisters that were trapped in this ghost town. They were not only trapped in this location, but also trapped in time. I wanted to convey the sisters as lonely, down-trodden, and showing that they were each other's only support and interaction.
If you take a look at the images I have shared here, all were taken with a Sigma 50mm 1.4 lens on the Canon 5D Mark II. This lens is incredible. It is sharp, it focuses quickly, and it has a beautiful narrow depth of field (the bokeh blur is striking!). In addition to the quality of the lens, it is also very light and portable. Unless I need a tight headshot, this lens allows me to capture a wide range of images… from mid-length shots to environmental scenes all at 1.4 (or other wide apertures).
NOTE: If I need some really tight beauty shots (just headshot), I would select a Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 lens or a Sigma 85mm 1.4 lens. If I am trying to keep my setup light and minimal, the fixed 85 would be a better choice.
Furthermore, this shoot utilized no flash or studio on location. Even better, I didn't even use reflectors in these images! If you take a look at my equipment list required for this shoot: Sigma 50mm 1.4 and CF cards! Its NOT massive amounts of equipment that makes the photographer, but instead their vision, composition, light and the way they portray the scene.
To plan this shoot I had my stylist Tia Reagan acquire clothing that looked like it was from the late 1800s and early 1900s to give an aged and elegant appearance. I selected two models from a local agencies that looked like they could realistically be sisters or at least from a different era. I spent less than an hour at this location before the sun dipped too far behind the mountain for good quality of light. I only had a short period of time, but because I had my equipment minimal, I wasn't fussing with lights or moving a lot of equipment, and therefore had plenty of shooting time.
A great deal can be accomplished with a good quality lens, an awareness of light, and strong compositions.
The result of all our efforts was Season 3, Epsiode 9 of FLIX on the Framed Network. You can watch my interview, see my behind the scenes of the shoot and more.

Remember when my imagination got the best of me and I conned Jay into creating a living wall without even knowing what he was building? Remember when you all were reading that post and scratching your heads trying to figure out just what I was thinking?
Well looky now……
We finally got the gutters cut (that was an ungodly task) and screwed them into their casings.
I threw in a few herbs to give you an even better visual.
I'm wondering if I should plant them at a slight angle outward versus upright. What do you think?
Hopefully tomorrow we'll attach these living wall capsules to the deck
….and let the planting begin!

Are exposed backs the new cleavage?
PHOTO: January Jones' cleavage-flashing gown and what the other stars wore
Anne Hathaway, Emma Stone, and Claire Danes ignited a sexy new trend when they wore dresses that were rather demure in the front and anything but from the back at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards.
VIDEO: Us editors rank the night's best and worst dresses
"We first spotted this runway-inspired silhouette on Kate Hudson when she wore a white backless Emilio Pucci gown at the 2010 SAG Awards," says Us Weekly fashion director Sasha Charnin Morrison. "It's a great way for the stars to show some skin on the red carpet without being too revealing."
PHOTOS: Golden Globes party pics
If you want to rock a bare back dress or top, the right undergarments are mandatory, says Morrison, who recommends stick-on bra cups like the ones by Nubra. And make sure that your rear view is bump-and-blemish free since it's practically impossible to apply concealer to your own back.
One last tip: Start practicing your over-the-shoulder pose.

John Osborne
Inside the Last 17 Days of the Nixon White House
December 03, 2014
President Nixon almost changed his mind about resigning.
John Osborne, 1957
June 17, 2010
Being Presidential
July 31, 1976
Gerald Ford, Nelson Rockefeller, and the 1976 Republican nomination.
White House Watch: Nixon Then and Now
February 22, 1975
A new book and news accounts from San Clemente depict Richard Nixon as he appeared to one of his White House writers before Watergate destroyed his presidency and as he is in exile and nearly total seclusion six months after his resignation. The book is William Safire's Before the Fall (Doubleday; $12.50).
Ford's Future
April 13, 1974
Gerald Ford continues to say publicly and in private that he expects to be Vice President and expects Richard Nixon to be President of the United States until January 20, 1977. The Vice President also continues to say that he has no intention of running and no plan to run for the presidency in 1976. But he concluded some weeks ago that it was foolish to go on pretending that there is no possibility that he, the first Vice President who was appointed to the office, may become President by succession before Mr. Nixon's second term is finished and may be the Republican nominee in 1976.
October 27, 1973
Spiro Agnew's resignation was appropriate and unsurprising.
Working It Out
October 20, 1973
In late September and early October, when the President and his principal associates appeared to have persuaded themselves that he was going to survive the scandals that continued to beset him and Vice President Agnew was saying that he would never resign and that the charges against him were "damned lies," the atmosphere at the Nixon White House was a strange mix of confidence and of a quantity that was close to but not quite despair.
Shades of Meaning
September 15, 1973
If the members and staff of the Senate Watergate committee were smarter than they have been up to now, they would be preparing to make the President sorry that, at his August 22 press conference in San Clemente, he mentioned Clark MacGregor and thereby drew attention to a deposition that MacGregor gave under oath in a civil suit last July 20. MacGregor was the second and last director of Mr. Nixon's Committee for the Re-election of the President.
More Than Ever
November 18, 1972
The signs and chants and songs said "Four More Years" and "Nixon Now, More than Ever," and in their idiotic way they provided a depressing indication of the kind of presidency that Richard Nixon is likely to give us in his second term. It predictably won't be very different from his first-term presidency unless more of the same, perhaps marked with a confident sense of rightness that was missing at the start of the Nixon tenure, is thought to constitute a meaningful difference. In the weeks between his renomination and his reelection, Mr.
Mission to China
March 04, 1972
From the Editors: February marks the thirty-eighth anniversary of President Nixon's landmark visit to Beijing, and, back in 1972, TNR was one of the few media outlets able to get a first-hand report from the trip. John Osborne's report, "Mission to China," provided a snapshot of a country far removed from the modern economic power it is today. "China, feared though it has been and mightier now than it has ever been before, is still a poor country and, in the scales of world power, a weak country," Osborne wrote.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) – The start of WWIV? Too strong? Maybe just the "Second American Revolution?" Too dramatic? Either way, this is a new D-Day, the invasion of Wall Street. And a global game-changer.
On Sept. 17, the Arab Spring became the new American Fall, with 20,000 revolutionaries in a tent city. Plus "solidarity" occupations in major financial centers worldwide, all ready for a long siege, vowing not to leave till they get their "one simple demand."
Protesters clash at Mubarak trial
Clashes outside the Cairo trial of former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, as senior police officials are called to the stand.
Occupy Wall Street is a "leaderless resistance movement" spearheaded by the edgy Adbusters magazine, which in July issued a call for the Sept. 17 occupation of Wall Street.
Their allies have names like "CultureJammers," "USDayofRage.org," "People of the NYC General Assembly," "TaketheSquare.net," and recently they were joined by the noted civil disobedience anarchists, "Anonymous" and many others worldwide. This movement reminds us of the historic rag-tag armies General Washington commanded from 13 Colonies for the first American Revolution. Read how a new Lost Decade is sparking a second American Revolution.
The new ones are also united in the spirit of the Tahrir Square revolutionaries: "One thing we all have in common is that we are the 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%," according to posts on the Occupy Wall Street website.
Leaderless, yes. But now their real power comes in a new strategy: "one big swarm of people" challenging authority. They want their democracy back: "One citizen. One dollar. One vote." Get the corrupting influence of money out of elections. Read David Weidner's Writing on the Wall: Occupy Wall Street is a tea party with brains.
Bottom line: They want to eliminate "the greatest corrupter of our democracy: Wall Street, the financial Gomorrah of America."
Yes, the 'Arab Spring' is now the new 'American Fall'
This revolution started back in February at the peak of the Arab Spring. Around the time Mubarak resigned Adbusters talked of a "Million Man March on Wall Street." Then the "call to action" shifted, became "Occupy Wall Street." That caught on. Since then many other resistance movements jumped on board in cities worldwide.
Now a massive show of solidarity is rapidly emerging for Occupy Wall Street rallies at major financial centers: London, Madrid, Milan, Paris, L.A., San Francisco "and with a bit of luck, this list of participating cities will expand" maybe even include the world's most powerful bank, the Federal Reserve Bank in Washington.
But will 20,000 show up? Warning: Could be lots more. After Tunisian President Ali fled his country in January, Egyptian revolutionaries issued a "call for action" in Tahrir Square. And 90,000 arrived. Given today's intense anger against America's totally dysfunctional government, no one should be surprised if 90,000 arrive for Occupy Wall Street and its solidarity allies at other financial centers across the world, armed with their rallying cry to stop "the corruption of our governments by Wall Street money."
Warning: Ignore this rebellion at your peril. Reading their materials reveals a deeply frustrated, angry, fed up army of revolutionaries. Like their "Arab Spring" brothers,
The new American revolutionaries are no longer interested in talk. They want action.
Is America ripe for a Tahrir moment? Will Big Money counterattack?
No, this is not a one-day rally. Earlier talks of a "Day of Rage" and "Million Man March" have evolved. They have new tactics. Prepare for a long siege of the Wall Street/NYSE fortress that organizers say could last "months." Adbusters asks rhetorically, "Is America Ripe for a Tahrir Moment?"
Their answer is an enthusiastic "yes," thanks to a "deluge of solidarity messages have been pouring in from Spain, Egypt and elsewhere." With a flair for the dramatic, here's how they see a key scenario unfolding during this occupation:
"Imagine … the dawn of the 13th day of the occupation … you're tired, not sleeping or eating too great … you've been harassed, maybe tear gassed and beaten. Bloomberg is threatening to call in the National Guard. … But you are sitting tight because much of the nation is cheering you on … Al Jazeera and the BBC are beaming your struggle to a captivated world and the tension is building for Obama … It feels much like it did in Tahrir Square moments before Mubarak caved. You've never felt so alive!"

Thank you for visiting my first giving page.
I have set up this page to help Facing our Risk of Cancer Empowered (FORCE). The reason is simple. When I found out that I carried a gene that increased my risk for breast and ovarian cancer, FORCE was there for me. They provided me with important information and research, but beyond that, I found an incredibly supportive network of women who were dealing with similar issues and questions. It was their kindness that gave me the strength to make some big decisions in my life.
I feel deeply indebted to FORCE and I want to do all I can to ensure FORCE continues to be there for generations to come. If you would like to join me in my support, you can donate through this website (the stock message wants me to add that it is fast and totally secure.)
Many thanks for your support -- and of course feel free to forward this to anyone who you think might be interested in supporting FORCE as well!

International Pop Overthrow Wants to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
"Pop" isn't a dirty word. Just ask International Pop Overthrow founder David Bash.
What is International Pop Overthrow?
International Pop Overthrow is a pop music festival that's been in existence since 1998. We do it in various cities across the United States and Canada, as well as Liverpool, England. Each International Pop Overthrow, or IPO, features some of the best pop and rock bands from around the world.
What's the guiding philosophy of the IPO?
The aim is always to get exposure for worthy pop bands, to give them the opportunity to play in front of people who would really dig what they do, and hopefully in front of people in the industry as well.
What was it that inspired you to create IPO?
In the mid-'90s, I was writing reviews for several different fanzines, and I would get to know bands whose CDs I was reviewing—bands from all over the world—and a lot of them conveyed their interest in playing in Los Angeles. They also lamented the difficulty of trying to make that happen. So I thought, why not create something where bands from all over the world could play under one umbrella where there would be likeminded bands? The audience would really dig the whole thing because it was about music with good melodies, strong harmonies and strong hooks. Having bands from all around the world would give it an exotic feel as well. So, that's what we did.
Using the word "pop" seems like it might confuse some people.
Yeah. The word is certainly a nebulous term, and it means so many different things to so many different people. At first glance, they might misconstrue it. They might think we're showcasing Jonas Brothers and Britney Spears kinds of bands. But if they explore a little further, they'll get the picture pretty quickly.
Orange County's been one of the sites for International Pop Overthrow for several years?
There are a lot of bands from Orange County that I got to know over the years, so I knew Orange County had a pretty good scene. We've always done very well there. We've done several outdoor shows in various locales—Garden Grove, Stanton, and now this year at the Orange County Fair for the first time. A lot of that has to do with [OC-based co-organizer] John Borack. John is with Time Warner Cable. They sponsored a lot of the IPO events we did outdoors, and they're also one of the sponsors of the Orange County Fair.
How do you find bands?
We do [the fest] in a lot of different cities, and we have to be mindful of having as many local bands as possible. I don't choose a city to do the festival unless I know there's a really strong scene there. In the late '90s, it would be bands I already knew, then bands referring other bands, bands finding out about the festival and submitting that way. There's still quite a bit of those things going on, but probably the main avenue for finding bands now is MySpace. It has a very effective search engine. You find the bands in the area you want, and contact them. MySpace has been an absolute godsend for the festival. But the old-fashioned way is still being done.
How did the festival become international?
We became international for the first time in 2003. A woman in Liverpool had contacted me. She found out about the festival and asked if I'd ever thought of making it truly international, and if I'd be interested in having it in Liverpool. I said yeah, but I didn't know anyone there. She said she knew a lot of people at the Cavern Club, and she'd help me. You could have knocked me over with a feather, because the Cavern Club is famous for where the Beatles essentially got their big start. It's been amazing ever since. We've been there for six years, and it gets better every year. It's so international; that's the one where the essence of our vision is best expressed. But we have several international bands playing at the IPO in Orange County this year, too.
International Pop Overthrow Orange County at Fitzgerald's, 19171 Magnolia St., Huntington Beach, (714) 968-4523. Sat. Call for times. $8-$10; also at the Orange County Fair, 88 Fair Dr., Costa Mesa, (714) 708-1500. Aug. 3. Call for times. $9. all ages.

Review of NBC Show Undercovers
TV Show Check-In: Undercovers
Like us on Facebook
The J.J. Abrams creation has a few obvious things going for it: besides Abrams, there's hot leading man Boris Kodjoe, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, who's proven that she knows how to kick ass. I think the show has upped its action sequences since the pilot, but the series still tries a little too hard to make its central duo a cutesy couple. Another episode airs tonight, so tell me, have you been tuning in?

|Culler Named SAC Player of Week
|Written by Staff Reports
|Monday, 14 November 2011 16:56
Lenoir-Rhyne University's Whitley Culler (Mount Airy, N.C.) has been named the South Atlantic Conference Women's Basketball Player Of The Week, the first of the 2011-12 season, league officials announced today. Culler, a junior guard, averaged 21.0 points and 12.0 rebounds inleading Lenoir-Rhyne to a 2-0 week to start the season with a pair of victories last weekend at home in the L-R Invitational.
Culler finished with 15 points and 13 rebounds in Lenoir-Rhyne's 84-82 season-opening victory in overtime over Pfeiffer Friday.
Culler then poured in a career-high 27 points and 11 rebounds on 12-of-15 shooting to lead Lenoir-Rhyne to a 77-73 win Saturday against Limestone.
Culler, who has been a part of two South Atlantic Conference Regular Season Championships (2008-09 and 2009-10) with the Bears, also shot 60 percent (18-of-30) for the week.
Last year, Culler ranked third on the squad in scoring (8.8 ppg) and fifth in rebounding (5.7 rpg) while starting in 26 of the team's 27 contests.
Lenoir-Rhyne returns to action on Friday when it travels to Mars Hill, N.C., to face Francis Marion in the Biltmore Farms/Mars Hill Classic beginning at 8 p.m.

|Validation and reproducibility of an FFQ for use among adults in Botswana.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23113958 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the validity and reproducibility of a 122-item interviewer-administered quantitative FFQ developed to determine food and nutrient intakes of adults in Botswana. DESIGN: Relative validity of the FFQ was evaluated by comparing nutrient and food group intakes against four non-consecutive 24 h recalls administered over 12 months. The FFQ was repeated after 1 year to assess reproducibility. SETTING: Kanye, Botswana. SUBJECTS: Seventy-nine adults aged 18-75 years. RESULTS: Spearman correlation coefficients for the validity of energy-adjusted nutrients ranged from 0·42 (carbohydrate) to 0·49 (protein) for macronutrients and from 0·23 (Fe) to 0·44 (PUFA) for micronutrients. Exact agreement of quartile distribution for nutrients between the FFQ and recalls ranged from 27 % to 72 %. Weighted kappa values were lowest for retinol (0·13), Fe (0·22) and β-carotene (0·25) and ranged from 0·33 (SFA) to 0·59 (folate) for other nutrients (energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat, Ca and vitamin E). Spearman correlation coefficients between the recalls and FFQ for food groups ranged from 0·18 (dark green leafy and yellow vegetables) to 0·58 (poultry). Reproducibility correlation coefficients (energy-adjusted) varied between 0·39 for retinol and 0·66 for vitamin E, with most values falling between 0·50 and 0·60. CONCLUSIONS: The FFQ had good relative validity for estimating habitual food group and nutrient intakes, but was poor for some micronutrients (Fe, retinol and β-carotene) and foods (fruits and dark green leafy vegetables).

I have had a baby girl
Emergency c section she's 6 weeks and now doing really well. XxxxView Thread
I go for a growth scan in 2 weeks but everything seems to be going extremely well, so I know it's pessimistic but I'm waiting for the hiccup but there just doesn't seem to be one this time! It's really surreal.
I'm so so sorry things aren't working out for you. I think of you almost every day. I am a firm believer in Jesus works in mysterious ways and I'm sure whatever happens will be in his plan.
I can totally comprehend the strain on your relationship. It's so hard especially when he appears unsupportive in respect of not doing the SA but then the pressure is all on you to take the hormones and feel all crap and have all the test done.
Think u did right to take a break give your body and your relationship time to heal.
I know how blessed I am considering this was out final round being given to us before having to restart the test and try injections etc. and to be honest I think we would have had to do the same and have a break cos it was really messing with my head.
We have yet to buy a single thing for the baby, choose manes etc! Just can't bring myself to do it yet cos I keep expecting something to go wrong!
I think I may go buy a bag tomorrow, to pack a few things just incase. Feel so nervous and happy at the same time!
They agreed to a sweep at 37week if I get that far and then I can stay at home! Whoch means for the first time ever I can be at home for the first contraction, to wake my hubby etc, to have that panic drive to the hospital! It's going to be like having a baby for the first time ever. It's so strange to think about!View Thread
Speak soon. XView Thread
I'm almost 19 weeks now, and have a 75%placental attachment So we're doing ok.
Just need to keep going.
If I can get to over 30week the risk to baby will significantly reduce so fingers are still crossed.
Did dh do the SA And have the test come back? R u taking the new meds?
Sorry for long delay, I am trying my best to keep intouch it's just so hard with life becoming so hectic.
Take care and speak soon. XView Thread
I try not to leave it long but it's just so hard feeling so rubbish.
Have u started back on the clomid and injections yet?View Thread
Fingers crossed.View Thread
We all well, been the school holidays here so been entertaining kids! And now we're moving to the country side too probably in the next few week so life is very hectic and trying not to do much is becoming impossible!
I will try my best to get updates from u but I think u understand it'll be hard till we're settled!
But I promise I'll do my best
Hope to see this through with u to the end of your pregnancy
Have u started on the new meds yet other than the pill?View Thread
Men can be a pain in the bum! Since you've invested so much you'd expect him to want to help and give a little
As for the dr, I'd ask y he couldn't just give you the prescription , that seems like a waste of everyone's time. My local dr does telephone appointments for non urgent things so I tend to use that service! Save a a lot of time!
I'm feeling good, I'm just extremely cold today. Hope it's not another cold pregnancy!
Last time I wore thermals in the middle of summer with thick jackets!!
Cramps are settling more and more. We have to abstain for the full pregnancy! We are not allowed at all, I'm too high risk!
Seems to be dragging and taking for ever! Not even 6 weeks yet and I'm ready to be full term!! Lol
It's strange moan to actually get pregnant and then I just want to be big and nearing the end, but think that's more for the fact that I want the healthy happy bundle in my arms!View Thread
Poor love,
Try not to panic about the future I'm sure now you got specialist help that u will be pregnant in no time.
Cramps are settling but I'm very tierd, if I do the housework I'm having to sit down especially with. Ironing, it gives me terrible hip n backache.
I am really not doing that much at all!
I go to book in on 4. March. I'm a bit anxious as I'm using a different dr and hospital after the last one left me in a terrible state, staff spoke to me in a terrible way and held off, and failed to give me proper pain relief leaving me in agony for hours. I was crying in pain after the c section. It was horrendous
So I am very anxious this time
Speak soon. XView Thread
Just to clarify last month u had no ovulation, u took a tablet to make u have a bleed then u started another round of clomid?
Is that correct? If so the probability is that u did ovulate, but when you were withdraw bleeding.
Last cycle I ovulated day 28.
If you read my post mid cycle bleeding clomid cycle 2, at the beginning I have the exact same thing.
It turns out no clomid I have a 6 week menstral cycle.
My doctor was very surprised and says it's very unusual but maybe your similar?
My dr told me to start the third cycle as the bleed was my period.
I suspect u ll be told to do the same.
Try not to worry about your weight, just eat healthy foods avoid full sugar, and walk places and the weight will come off on its own. Hate how drs put pressure on people as it makes it even harder for u.
I'm not drastically over weight but my bmI is 29, so drs told me to loose weight too. I couldn't do it, since I stopped the dieting I have lost half a stone but that's purely by just walking the school run and leaving the car at home on short journeys.
I concieved this cycle so I can no long walk places as I'm high risk so I'm sure I'll put it back on! And probably more! Lol But well my point is Even of you so loose weight the pcos is still going to be there and the periods probably won't return (like mine) so don't worry about dieting, just do something you enjoy and eat anything you want- just in moderation!
Just don't do what my sister does... Has a small bun with breckfast a choc bar with lunch and Ice cream for tea! She says because they're weight watchers/ reduced fat, she can have em all in one day lol! Makes me chuckle!! Can't teach on old dog new tricks!!! Lol
She says the half the fat, u can have twice as much lol
Well any way I'm going on a bit lol
Fingers crossed for you, n G-luck View Thread

Delve into the wonderful world of Fantastic Mr Fox for things to do in London
Published: Monday 26th of July 2010
Parents making their way to the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall may be hard-pressed to provide entertaining things to do in London for their young ones.
This problem can be easily resolved thanks to specially commissioned open air opera targeted at a younger audience.
Opera Holland Park will see the creative genius of Roald Dahl come to life in the Yucca Lawn as part of a partnership between the City of London Symphonia and the artistes of Opera Holland Park.
Donald Sturrock's libretto will take the younger viewers into the wonderful world of the Fantastic Mr Fox amid the natural settings of Holland Park.
By using a popular piece of children's literature, the performance could be an ideal way of introducing as well as inculcating the love for opera in children's minds. The fabulous performance is bound to capture the imagination of adults as well, leading them into a magical journey down memory lane to spend an exquisite hour with characters of their childhood.

| During her sis-boom-bah high school days and from 1990 to 2002 on "All My Children," Kelly Ripa let her hair and makeup do all the talking (or in some cases, the shouting). "There was no subtlety in soap-opera makeup then. It was dramatic, like the plots," says makeup artist Kristofer Buckle, who has worked with her. Today her baby blond locks "complement Kelly's face without overpowering it," her usual hairstylist, Oscar Blandi says. Ditto for her makeup. "She's cultivated a refined beauty that highlights her bone structure," Buckle says. "It can't get in the way of her effervescent personality." What could? "I had tanorexia," Ripa has said of her days as a Voorhees, N.J. cheerleader, along with "hair as big as it could possibly get."

Sheriff & Superintendent: Armed Resource Officers in Every School
12-21.2012 by Julie Montanaro
Now the Leon County Sheriff and School Superintendent are asking the governor to find finding for a full time officer at every school.
"When it comes to protecting our children I don't think we need to spend a lot of time talking about cost. We need to take action," Superintendent Jackie Pons said.
Leon County and Leon County Schools split the 2.3 million dollar tab for school resource officers each year.
Tally up the salary, benefits, car and computer and it's about $100 thousand dollars for every SRO. That's why the plea comes now as the governor crafts his budget.
"This is what they're elected to do is to find a mechanism to protect our children and make sure we have the safest schools we could possibly have."
City Commisisoner Scott Maddox says he'll take a proposal to fellow commissioners in January asking for regular and directed patrols at elementary schools until the legislature has a chance to debate a more permanent solution.
"Our TPD officers can start right now visiting elementary schools in the their districts. We can do directed patrols," Maddox said. "They get out of the car, they go inside talk to parents, teachers, and school administrators and they get to talk to the kids to make sure that everybody feels sage and there's a law enforcement presence at our elementary schools."
Maddox will present the idea at the city's January 9th meeting.

Following a review into the standards of practice at the NHS, a significant call for change has been made, reports The Telegraph.
Prime Minister David Cameron ordered a review of the NHS following the much-publicised Stafford Hospital disgrace.
Leading the review, Professor Don Berwick found significant problems with the healthcare service that demand addressing immediately.
A past advisor to US President Barak Obama, Professor Berwick is a principal figure on the matter of healthcare reform. In his review of the NHS, Professor Berwick has called for two fundamental changes. The first is the creation and implementation of a criminal offence for deliberate or neglectful harm caused to patients by individual staff members. This offence can be brought against doctors, nurses and managers alike.
The Telegraph reported that Professor Berwick called for new criminal offences of reckless or willful neglect or mistreatment of patients, which could be applied to individual doctors, nurses and other staff, and also to organisations that withhold information.
Although this implementation of a new punishment may appear to be slightly radical, Professor Berwick has assured that the criminal charge should only be used very rarely and only in extreme cases where there was no possibility for genuine error.
The second principal change the professor calls for is to do with safe staffing levels in hospitals. He has requested that the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence revise the literature currently in place regarding safe staffing levels in as far as they relate to the standard of care each patient receives. Additionally, Professor Berwick has argued that each hospital ward should operate a real-time information system to guarantee these safe staffing levels and patient care.
Until the new guidelines are produced, Professor Berwick encourages hospitals to take notice of research pertaining to patient-to-staff ratios and the effect this has upon patient care.

How Small Businesses Can Use SMART Goals With Social Media
By Pamela Muldoon, Next Stage Media Group
Social media has so many moving parts that it is easy to allow overwhelm to set in and paralysis to take over. A great way to combat these emotions is to break down the big picture and create goals that provide a reason for your daily activity and will result in a solid endgame with what you are attempting to accomplish.
For some of you the concept of SMART goal setting may not be new and this will be a nice refresher. If you are not familiar with this practice of goal setting, then you are in for a treat. Setting SMART goals is a great formula for all areas of your life, personal and professional. Let's break it down:
S = Specific: Be very specific with what it is you want to accomplish. Be clear and concise.
M = Measurable: You can only manage what you measure. If there is not a measurable element to your goal, it's not a goal.
A = Attainable: I love reaching for the stars and encourage folks to think big. But when setting goals, be realistic with your expectations. If the goal is too big or too high and you cannot achieve it, disappointment ensues and usually discourages future goal setting.
R = Relevant: Your goal must match what you want to accomplish and be timely for your business or life.
T = Time Based: For a goal to truly be a goal, it has to have a deadline. Set a specific time in which you want achieve your goal. This is the only way you can relook at what you accomplished, adjust time if needed for a future goal and provide a framework in which to work within.
So how does this work with social media? Here are some examples:
Next Stage Media Group FB Page will add 100 new fans per month (organically) in Q1 2013.
It is specific (NSMG Page adding new fans), it is measurable (100 new fans), it is attainable (with daily posting, increasing engagement & reach, 100 new fans every 30 days seems very attainable), it is relevant (adding quality fans to your business page will be important to your overall social media ROI) and it is time based (this goal is basically Jan, Feb & March of 2013).
@CM360Radio will RT 10 different posts relevant to our audience daily through December 31, 2013.
I will make 5 new professional connections in LinkedIn every week through December, 31, 2013.
You could even break this into something more specific:
I will make 5 new professional connections weekly in LinkedIn specifically in the marketing industry through January 31, 2013. Then choose another industry for Feb, another for March, etc...
Now it's your turn. What goals can you set with your social media activity? It's truly the day-in, day-out small items that bring about big results. Set your social media SMART goals and make 2013 a phenomenal year!

Reach tens of thousands of people instantly by advertising with Ekklesia. Find out more
A Catholic cathedral is taking a lead in the campaign against climate change, and encouraging others to follow suit, by turning off its lights to mark Earth Hour.
Could you live without electricity for an hour? On 31st March 2007 2.2 million homes and businesses in Sydney proved that this is possible when they turned off their lights in a city-wide demonstration against climate change. This unusual event generated so much interest that just a year later the WWF initiative went international.
Building on the success of last year's Blackout London people around the country are being asked to turn out their lights in a nationwide blackout.
Christians of all denominations will be among the thousands expected to march in London on Saturday 4 November on the eve of critical international climate change talks in Nairobi.
Churches are being urged to join individuals and businesses and take part in a blackout in London as part of a night of "non-power" in the nation's capital.

What could be better than a makeup haul or two to celebrate a meeting with a dear friend and fellow makeup lover? :)
It was with much excitement that I led my pal into makeup temptation in a Sasa store where she emerged with a couple of goodies, while I purchased some lovelies myself!
A 20% discount saw me buying a 10g jar of Sana Maiko Han Powder N Beige (small) (S$15.90, before discount) and a Made-in-Japan Cyber Colors Eyelash Curler (S$10, before discount).
A further jaunt to a THEFACESHOP outlet made me the happy owner of Color Nuance for Cheek in BR803 and PK102 (S$16.90, before a 30% discount and a further 5% discount).

Schenbeck among 10 finalists for Ga. Teacher of the Year
by Celia Shortt
Georgia School Superintendent Dr. John Barge announced the 10 finalists for Georgia's 2014 Teacher of the Year on Monday afternoon, and Coweta County teacher Dr. Lyn Schenbeck was one of them.
Schenbeck is the music instructor at the Central Educational Center and has taught all levels of education for more than 40 years. Schenbeck is a voting member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the group responsible for the Grammy Awards and is also the 2013 Coweta County Teacher of the Year.

The unofficial returns showed Jones, often criticized for his opposition to both foreign aid and wars of choice, defeating Taylor Griffin 51 to 46 percent, with 91 percent of the vote tallied. A third candidate, Albin "Big Al" Novinec, received four percent. Griffin, 38, had the backing and financial support of the Emergency Committee for Israel, an organization taking aim at Jones's opposition to foreign aid, and Ending Spending Fund, a political action committee that ran ads portraying Jones as a liberal despite his long record of conservative stands on fiscal and social issues. The two groups spent nearly a combined $1 million in support of Griffin, the News & Observer in Raleigh reported.
Jones, 70, is the son of the late Democratic congressman Walter B. Jones, Sr. and was a Democrat himself before he changed parties and won election to the Third District seat as a Republican in 1994. Like most of his colleagues he supported most U.S. military missions, and early in 2003 his support for the Iraq War was so strong that that he and fellow GOP Congressman Bob Ney of Ohio led a successful effort to rename French fries "Freedom fries" in the House cafeteria as a protest against French opposition to the war. (The name was changed back in 2006.) When the invasion and occupation of Iraq turned up none of the "weapons of mass destruction" that the Bush administration claimed was the main reason for going to war, Jones turned against the continued U.S. troop presence there, calling for a withdrawal as early as 2006 and again in 2008.

Restaurant Critic Roundup: 11/21/2012
Today on The Daily Meal
Recipe of the day
As always, the ratings range from stars to bells to beans, but every review offers specialized insight into the food, atmosphere, and service of eateries in each city's dining scene and the critics eating at them.
In Boston, The Tip Tap Room takes its name seriously, or literally, for that matter, but according to critic Devra First, "its secret, unbilled strength is game."
San Francisco's Mission Rock Resort has picturesque views, but service can be questionable. However, for an "afternoon or evening surrounded by the bay, it's a frustration well worth enduring."
The nation's capital now plays host to new hipster diner, The Satellite Room, where "boozy milkshakes have been a top draw." Late night options are a plus and variety "tugs at the heartstrings" of many diners.
From the East Coast to the West Coast, from North to South, the weekly restaurant critic roundup is here for all of your dining out needs.

WOONSOCKET ŌĆö It wasnŌĆÖt pretty, not by any means, but Cumberland High head coach Deb Engels didnŌĆÖt care.
For the first time since the 2010-11 campaign, the Clippers had manufactured a regular-season triumph, this one a sloppy 38-22 affair against Division I-North rival Woonsocket on Thursday night.
Junior forward Erin Rosa led the victors with 10 points, while classmate Kaitlan Engels finished with five points and 10 boards. The senior quad-captains also helped out, with Bridget Hollenbeck adding nine points; Bridget Connors six points and four steals; and Caylin Legare a bucket with six rebounds.
ŌĆ£We didnŌĆÖt have a league win all of last year, and ŌĆō the previous season ŌĆō I think we had eight, so weŌĆÖll take it,ŌĆØ the elder Engels grinned after the win, one that pushed the Clippers to 1-3 overall and 1-1 in I-North action. ŌĆ£They actually ran some plays (Thursday) night. We tell them all the time that if they run plays, theyŌĆÖll work eventually, and they did here.
ŌĆ£I saw some of our girls staying home and playing their position, being patient with the ball offensively,ŌĆØ she continued.
When told her contingent made 20 turnovers in all, she laughed and offered, ŌĆ£Oh, weŌĆÖre good at that.ŌĆØ But when notified her Clippers forced 28 from the Villa Novans, she sighed, ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs nice to see weŌĆÖre creating more than we make.ŌĆØ
To be fair, first-year Woonsocket coach Doug Frisoli inherited a squad that had been seriously depleted via graduation. He stated afterward that ŌĆō at his first practice session with his girls ŌĆō he had nine arrive to take part. One was senior Shade Olowookere, who recorded a game-high 12 points.
ŌĆ£We asked all the girls to bring a friend,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£We lost a lot of girls who were really talented, but our kids show up every day and work hard. TheyŌĆÖre getting better, and thatŌĆÖs all IŌĆÖm worried about right now ŌĆ" To be honest with you, IŌĆÖm really proud of this score. We hung in there.ŌĆØ
Actually, the ŌĆśNovans (0-3 overall, 0-2 league) took an immediate lead (at 2-0) when senior Kayla Mousseau netted a baseline jumper just 26 seconds into the contest. Connors, however, canned a short jumper, and Legare drained a layup off a steal to give Cumberland the lead for good at 4-2 with 3:04 elapsed in the initial half.
Woonsocket sophomore Aveanne Osagie dropped a putback to cut it to 8-6 at 10:53, but HollenbeckŌĆÖs lone team trey at 8:10 sparked a 10-5 run the rest of the stanza, as the ŌĆśNovans had been forced into nine turnovers alone in the first 6:18.
The Clippers registered an 13-0 surge in the initial 5:11 of the final half, as Rosa drained back-to-back buckets, the last a fast-break layup off a theft with 10:49 left. Only 46 ticks after, Olowookere dropped a trey, then a long jumper as FrisoliŌĆÖs bunch posted a 7-0 run of its own to slice it to 31-18 in a span of 1:56.
But Engels and Co. outscored their foe, 7-4 down the stretch to post its first win in about 22 months.
ŌĆ£TheyŌĆÖre rebuilding; I knew they lost a lot of girls from the championship teams Woonsocket had recently, and I knew Doug had a couple of really good players graduate,ŌĆØ Engels stated. ŌĆ£I understand, because IŌĆÖve been there. It was good to see that he got a number of girls out for the team, and thatŌĆÖs heŌĆÖs being positive with them. That will go a long way in Woonsocket improving game by game.ŌĆØ

Is The Colbert Report hitting a creative pothole?
The big indicator to me that there's a bit of an ebb is that lately the producers have been booking two guests on a single show; one gets interviewed during the first segment and the other gets interviewed during the usual third segment. Last night, Colbert spoke to Madeleine Albright, and in previous weeks, first-segment guests have included Al Sharpton, Ben and Jerry, and District of Columbia's congressional delegate Elanor Holmes Norton. While I'd imagine these segments do entail some writing, as Stephen tries to figure out the direction of his questioning, much of the comedy in these interviews depends heavily on his impressive improvisation skills.
But it's more than just the doubling-up of interview segments that's telling me that the show needs a refresher. Unlike The Daily Show, which can shuffle correspondents in and out, try different segments, and utilize Lewis Black when he's in town (though he doesn't write those segments anymore), The Colbert Report is fully dependent on Colbert's "well-intentioned, poorly-informed, high-status idiot" character. And trying to maintain one character is a lot harder than maintaining three or four of them; if you get tired of featuring one person, you can always turn around and feature someone else.
It's a testament to Colbert and the writers that the character hasn't gotten completely played out after almost eighteen months on the air; audience participation bits like the "Green Screen Challenge" have kept fans involved, and Colbert's multiple talents have also helped keep people from tiring of the character. But there are times that I find myself concentrating on something else while the Report is on, looking up to realize the entire show has passed and I didn't hear one joke. That sometimes happens with TDS, but not as often as it happens with the Report. And I'm thinking it's because I'm thinking if I miss a joke one night, I can always watch the next and see basically the same thing: Stephen praising himself, Stephen not seeing color; Stephen asking Democrats whether Bush is a "great" president or "the greatest" president. It's all funny; it's just repetitive, that's all.
What do you think? Is the Report in a creative valley right now? What can the writers do to freshen the formula? Let me know in the comments.

The third in a trilogy of animations for Robert Lax poems by the German architect and artist Susanne Wiegner.
"something I remember" is a poem by Robert Lax that describes a certain moment outside of time and space during a rainy night. For the film the letters of the poem are divided in a large amount of layers. These layers become spaces, streets and the falling rain.
And at the end … "there is nothing particular about it to recall."
An interesting solution to the problem of how to envideo a poem whose typographical arrangement was very important to its author. Susanne Wiegner notes at Vimeo,
"just midnight" is a poem by Robert Lax that describes a temporal and spacial situation by very minimal means. For Robert Lax the composition of the letters and words on the paper was very important. And so he created one of his vertical typefaces, that was transferred for the film. The letters become spaces and actors, crossed and circled by the camera. Step by step a three-dimensional formation of words is generated and disappears again in a sheet of paper.
The film has been very widely screened — click through for a full list of festivals and awards.
German animator Susanne Wiegner made this film with audio from the late poet, who "did nothing to court publicity or expand his literary career or reputation," according to the Wikipedia. A man after my own heart!

Matthew Cooke's "How to Make Money Selling Drugs" is a cheeky take on America's decades-long war on illegal narcotics. Mixing caustic satire with dead-serious elements, Cooke uses his animation background to add visual elements that tie the disparate parts together.
Cooke managed to get a wide variety of participants to discuss the premise, from David Simon, creator of "The Wire" and "The Corner," near definitive takes on this virtual conflict, to rappers 50 Cent and Eminem, who provide their own unique experiences within the culture that help perpetuate certain myths about drug culture.
Moviefone spoke exclusively to Matthew on the phone while he was in Paris, France.
Moviefone: First of all, how do you make money selling drugs?
Matthew Cooke: Very easily! The United States has the highest demand for illegal narcotics in the world, the demand is already there. You don't need to convince people to buy the stuff, you just let them know you have it, and they're gonna want it.
How did the film come about?
I was the producer and the editor for the Oscar-nominated documentary "Deliver us from Evil" about the pedophile crisis in the Catholic Church. I had also produced and done a cut with Adrian Grenier for "Paparazzo." Before being a filmmaker, my "waiter job" (what I was doing to make ends meet) was motion graphics.
My interest in making this film extends back many years. The idea was to make a documentary about the crisis of the War on Drugs and how it does more damage than the drugs themselves do. I wanted to do it in a way that was fun and entertaining, and the way I know how to communicate that way is through motion graphics. I cut the whole thing at my house, I did the cinematography myself, I even painted the backdrops. It was a test, really.
British comedians usually make the point that Americans find sarcasm hard, so when you have something as sardonic as this title, it might be a hard sell to an American audience. How did you maintain the sarcastic tone without letting it get out of control?
Adrian Grenier was a little angel on my shoulder the whole time, encouraging me to never give up on the joke. There were plenty of people around me who were saying that this is going to be interpreted as bad taste. That was the challenge of the editing process. It was really important to me from the beginning to do something that was going to make sense to a broader audience and a younger audience and a cynical audience and a politically apathetic audience, all of the people that traditional documentaries never reach. I spent a lot of time dancing back and forth with the tone. How much can I make fun of this? When does it get serious? I think when people see the film, my experience is that the great majority of them get the joke, and appreciate the fact that at a certain point the joke does taper off and I do speak very seriously about the topic.
Was there anything that you cut that worked for you on a personal level, but you thought a more general audience wouldn't find it quite as absurd as you?
What an interesting question. I did cut something out of the film because I was concerned that the logic was going to get lost at the end, and I'm still on the fence about whether or not I should have cut it. One of my staff had advised that I should cut this part of Patrick Reynolds, the heir to the cigarette empire, R.J. Reynolds. He lost a brother to crack addiction, and talks about it in such a heartfelt, heartbreaking way. The place for that was really the end of the film, but some people felt that it was distracting from the logic of the conclusion because it was so emotional.
You brought in David Simon, an artist and journalist who is becoming a de facto spokesperson about the absurdity of the War on Drugs.
David Simon is one of my heroes. Here's a guy who created one of the best TV series of all time with "The Wire," a series that was not only engaging and entertaining for the public, but was opening people's minds to the horrors of the Drug War. This is what entertainment should really do, in my mind. I was honoured that he was part of the film, he also had very particular opinions on what the comedic tone should be. Simon is a very serious person, and I took his advice very seriously, to make sure that ultimately I didn't tell the audience that this is a good idea to get into the drug game. He really wanted to make sure that the joke was understood as a joke and that kids really get it, that there's one of two outcomes. It's either death or prison. The stories that we write, these become our myths and our archetypes that we choose to embrace or reject, so I can't say enough great stuff about David Simon.
You interview a number of other celebrities, some who have had their own challenges with many sides of the drug trade. Were they in on the joke of the film's title?
The way I intended it ... those that are interviewed are taken 100 percent seriously, and the context in which the Drug War exists is the absurd part, my narration, the graphics, the structure, the video game sound effects ... that's the comedic, satiric part. The interviewees themselves, I think they should be taken 100 percent seriously.
When I talked to Marshall ["Eminem"] Mathers, I wanted to talk to him about addiction. I find him to be one of the most sincere, open and honest individuals I've ever interviewed. I thought that it would be really important for people who watch the film and have struggled with addiction to see somebody who was feeling the same things that they've felt, and who has the capacity to express it with the intensity with which they have felt it.
When I talked to Woody Harrelson, I talked to him as a freedom enthusiast, somebody who cares very deeply about personal independence and freedom of choice. So each person had their role.
How did you own view of the War on Drugs change during the making of the film?
I think that what really surprised me was just how horrific and misguided the drug laws really are.
This is an insanely racist policy. I found out about America's first drug czar, he's so horrifically racist you can't help but laugh at it. Marijuana was made illegal primarily because of racism, with politicians saying marijuana gave Mexicans superhuman strength. Opium was made illegal for the Chinese for the most part. Cocaine was made illegal mostly to prosecute African-Americans.
And alcohol was made illegal, and then made not-illegal.
There were too many White Americans who wanted it, there was too broad a coalition to legalize it again.
Drug laws served an enormous purpose for white America, they enabled an extension of the Jim Crow laws. That was shocking to really see that, that the racial and class oppression and racial oppression, I don't want to diminish that, is very real, and it's shocking. This is the United States today -- at the same time that we have a black president, we have a horrific, racially biased drug law.
Were you left more or less cynical when it was finished?
We've got a great majority -- there's something like over 70 percent of Americans who think that marijuana should not be a jailable offence, which is incredible. This giant tidal wave change of public opinion and this huge coalition of people that want to end the War on Drugs. It's fantastic. We know that Obama feels the same way the rest of us do about it. If "How to Make Money Selling Drugs" can be another drop in that river of change, I'll be honoured to have been a part of it.
"How to Make Money Selling Drugs" can be seen in select theatres.

Morning all,
I have been thinking of terminating my employment from the company I am working at the moment however not sure how to carry it out. I have done this in the past with many companies but this time there is no such problem with the company and that is a problem. I mean I have to find a problem with the employment to terminate it.
The work and the people are good but the pay is very low. As you all know at these times of the year, we all need a better financial standing to overcome our ever increasing overheads and there is nothing better than getting a well paid job.
Saying that, the place is in local area where I live plus it is very close to my house, about 15-20mins walk which I count as bonus. I get about 5-8 calls a day from different job agencies to get me a job but you know how agencies work. They talk to much and do nothing. Anyhow, I am not worried about getting another job as yet but how to terminate this one.
Any ideas or experiences you have had in your employment when you had to make a difficult decision?
I would love to hear.

Review: this is an amazing place to get money. Not only money but it's a well organized social expirience with other peopl playing with you. It gives you full control of what you are doing. I recomend this, not only because it gets you money, but because it can also get you friends.
