I have to confess something silly: sometimes I feel self-conscious about writing these weekend posts, because my weekend plans sound pretty boring. They usually involve hanging out with my hubby, reading, cooking, housework, going for a walk – nothing fancy. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I feel like if I'm going to share it with you, I should have something exciting lined up, you know?! So, since I don't have anything particularly note-worthy going on this weekend… what are you up to? How do you make the most of your days off?
This quick film about a cardboard arcade will put a smile on your face.
Gorgeous gilded cakes.
Pop-up book proposal – so sweet.
Wouldn't this be a nice surprise for your newlywed friends?

Don't feel self conscious! Sometimes there is nothing better than a quiet, relaxing weekend at home :)
Emily /
What I wouldn't give for a quiet weekend cleaning the house – it's so neglected at the moment! I hope it's a lovely and relaxing few days for you. Enjoy the peace!
Caroline /
Your weekend posts are my favorites! And what a blessing it is to just enjoy home and the people there with you! Happy Weekending! xo
Virginia /
I agree, I love your weekend posts. This blog is about weddings which ultimately are themselves about marriage. I think that the ordinary weekends with those we love, doing chores together, reading together, going for walks, cooking dinner together, are truly what marriage is about. What could be more lovely than that?
Kate /
That's how I spend most of my weekends too! Your weekend posts are always fun. I'm at my parents' currently, and then I'm off to visit my bro for the day tomorrow, and then Sunday is catch up day! Hope you have a great weekend :)
Charis /
I love your weekend posts! And frankly – having just gone through a whirlwind couple months that involved lots of weekend work & trips – there is sometimes nothing better than a relaxing weekend at home.
Lyndsey /
I'll be vacuuming. And working for my favorite blog ;)

See Kathryn,
Your weekend posts remind us that we are normal and have weekends similar to you. Paris trip re-caps give us excitement and something to dream about while we do our chores during the weekend; but knowing you do the same stuff we do and find pleasure in just "being" with the one your love is pretty awesome too. So drop the pressure, enjoy being you!
p.s. my weekend: birthday parties, girls night, and a Korean BBQ. And, special time with my love.

I love a nice relaxing weekend, are you kidding me? Nothing like lounging in your PJ's in the morning…and reading your weekend post to catch up on all the pretty things in the world!
However, this weekend is full of frenzy–I'm going to check out the amazing Sleep No More (I'm so excited!!), and then there's brunch with friends and maybe a little karaoke, too boot! It's the relaxing weekends that prepare me for the crazier ones!
nole /
I totally know what you mean about the intro – sometimes it can be difficult to come up with something to say! But I love your weekend posts, so keep them coming! And thank you so much for the link love… have a wonderful weekend! xoxo

The weekend posts are definitely my favorite, in my post-wedding world. Here in Cyprus it's actually Easter, so we're having egg hunts, lots of food, some parties, and cramming in some much needed time at the beach.
Usually it's laundry, errand running, and scrabble.

Your weekends sound dreamy and perfect and remind me of the halcyon days of sleeping in and reading the Sunday New York Times at 9.00 in the morning instead of at 7.00 a.m. with The Cat in the Hat playing in the background while my three year old peppers me with "why mama?" questions. Sweet in theory but some days I really miss the quiet weekends. Enjoy!
Our weekend will be filled with a visit to the library, a trip to the model train shop, breakfast on Sunday at our favorite restaurant and counting the hours until spring break is over and my sweet kiddo can head back to preschool.

I've just come back from my honeymoon in the Maldives (AMAZING) and on our second night they laid out desserts that included a little shot glass which had a layer of green mousse over pink/red stuff. The chef told me it was rhubarb compote with pandan mousse. They had kept the rhubarb quite tart, and been light with the sugar in the mousse. It was the most perfect, light and amazing combination – the creaminess counteracting the sharpness of the fruit and not too sweet. I spent the rest of the holiday eating anything with pandan in it – it's not dissimilar to the flavour of green tea, but without the bitter edge and instead a little more light. I love it.
I am making this cake.
As for my weekend, I've just had lunch at Wright Bros Oyster House, got fabulous news about our friends' surprise bundle of joy turning up (during an appointment to book his arrival, no less!), been to see an Ayckbourn play, then dessert at Maison Bertaux in Soho – now home relaxing/putting together a fancy dress outfit. Tomorrow I'm having lunch with a friend in town then going to the cinema with hubby. It's an unusually busy one by my standards!
As a soon-to-be-graduating law student, I want you to know that your weekend plans sound like absolute heaven. I can't wait to be married (after the bar exam) to engage in activities like that. Sounds incredible.

Sometimes we all feel a bit self-conscious. At this moment, I feel like I'm starting walk, talk and even smell like a duck. After a weekend spent with pet ducklings and no one else, it's difficult coming back to work!(Though your posts are wonderful mini-mind-vacations!)
Janet /
Hurrah for boring! Hope it was deliciously wonderful.
elizabeth /
wait wait wait… you had an invitation to come to Mississippi for the weekend and go out on the town with your peeps, so even if you chose a quieter, closer to home weekend, you had options. ;)
love you and know that we MISSED YOU and the honey.

The AisleCop Safety Gate System helps make
intersections, blind corners, entry doors, and busy aisles safer
by aiding pedestrian and industrial vehicle traffic control. The
system is activated by a simple push button. If forklifts are
present, the gates stay locked; if the aisle is clear, warning lights
and audible alarms activate before they are opened.
AisleCop systems operate based on detection, but can also
work manually. Systems with forklift aisle gates synchronize
with pedestrian gates to enhance safety in busy traffic aisles.
Limited-visibility intersections and high-traffic areas are ideal for
AisleCop but
any crossing/entry point can benefit from this
safety-enhancing system.

ATTLEBORO, Mass. — Up to 25 students at a Massachusetts school were denied lunch this week — with at least some forced to dump their food in the garbage — because they couldn't pay, school officials and parents said.
Outraged parents said some students at Coelho Middle School in Attleboro cried when a worker for the district's food-service provider told them they could not eat Tuesday because they couldn't pay or their prepaid accounts were short of funds.
The on-site director for the company, Whitsons Culinary Group of Islandia, N.Y., was placed on administrative leave by Superintendent Pia Durkin, who has scheduled a meeting with company officials and ordered cafeteria workers not to deny any child food.
"There is no way any child in my school district will ever go hungry," Durkin told The (Attleboro, Mass.) Sun Chronicle. "Children need to eat."

Students who cannot pay or whose accounts are empty are supposed to receive a cheese sandwich and milk, but that procedure was not followed, Durkin said.
"We agree that this situation was not handled correctly," Whitsons spokeswoman Holly Von Seggern said. "We really want to apologize to the parents of the children who were affected."
Fifth-grader Victoria Greaves, 11, said she and other students who had been served their lunch were told to throw it in the trash when they reached the checkout. The school has students in fifth through eighth grades.
The girl's father, John, said he was incensed that while "there are people in prison who are getting meals, my daughter, an honor student, is going hungry."
Jen Ingemi, parent of a fifth-grader, said the girl behind her son in line began crying when she was told to throw out her lunch. She said her son offered to share his.
Durkin said Whitsons' management told her the total amount of outstanding credit on all students' accounts in the district comes to about $1,800.

The rupee today lost 30 paise to close at 54.85 against the dollar due to fresh demand for the US currency from oil importers, amid some weakness in the local equities.
The local unit opened lower at 54.67 against the dollar from its previous close of 54.55 at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) market.
It, however, marginally recovered to 54.64 but, emergence of dollar demand from importers, mainly oil refiners, and fall in local equities weighed on the rupee and it fell back to a low of 54.90 before concluding at 54.85, a fall of 30 paise, or 0.55 per cent.
Yesterday, rupee had risen by 30 paise.
"The rupee today fell mainly due to fresh dollar demand from oil importers. Thin trading volume on account of upcoming Christmas holidays also weighed on the local unit," IDBI Bank Head (Treasury) N S Venkatesh said.
Meanwhile, the BSE benchmark Sensex also fell by 22.08 points to 19,453.92.
Forex dealers said heavy capital inflows amid a weak dollar overseas, however, restricted the fall in rupee's value.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) picked up shares worth USD 286.32 million yesterday, as per Sebi data, taking a total to over USD 23 billion till December 19 this year.
The dollar index, a gauge of six major global rivals, was down by over 0.30 per cent on concerns over the US fiscal cliff talks, while New York crude oil was quoting below USD 90 a barrel in Europe today.
In the United States, the fiscal cliff is a term used to refer to the economic effects that could result from tax increases, spending cuts and a corresponding reduction in the
US budget deficit beginning in 2013 if existing laws are not changed by the end of 2012.
"In a quite range bound session against the US dollar, the rupee closed on a weaker note. Fresh dollar demand from banks and importers also continued to put pressure on the rupee.
"Year-end buying pressure will further put pressure on the rupee and could drift it towards 55.00 levels once again," said Abhishek Goenka, Founder and CEO, India Forex Advisors.
The premium for the forward dollar reacted downwards on fresh receipts by exporters.
The benchmark six-month forward dollar premium payable in May moved down to 160-162 paise from Wednesday's close of 163-1/2-165-1/2 paise.
Far-forward contracts maturing in November also settled down at 308-1/2-310-1/2 paise from 312-314 paise.
The RBI has fixed the reference rate for the US dollar at 54.8420 and for euro

Oct. 15, 1999
BERKELEY - The stage is set for the California women's basketball team to make some noise in the Pac-10 Conference and on the national scene in the 1999-2000 season.
Last season, the Golden Bears made a rumble at the Kaiser Arena in Oakland, but this season they look to roar in the new 12,300-seat Haas Pavilion on campus. The $57.5 million structure, a remodeled and enlarged version of old Harmon Gym, opens this fall after two years of construction.
"The Kaiser Arena was great as a temporary home, but there's no place like home," said head coach Marianne Stanley, who enters her fourth season at Cal with a 20-year career record of 404-207. "We're excited to return to campus and play in a state-of-the art arena. We hope to start a reign of terror in there.
"The opening of the Haas Pavilion is an exciting time for the Cal athletic family. Constructing the Haas Pavilion is a reflection of the university's commitment to our basketball program. Everything is coming together at the right time - a new building and a full complement of players and staff ready to play the style of basketball we want to play at Cal. "
Coming off its best season in six years, Cal brings to Haas the momentum of a 10-4 home record in 1998-99. Last year, Cal posted a 12-15 overall record and a 6-12 Pac-10 mark, doubling the six wins and improving on the two conference wins the previous season. Cal also tied for sixth in the conference last year, its highest finish since tying for fourth in the '92-93 season.
The holidays came early for the Bears last season as they claimed the 1998 Oakland Tribune Classic, Dec. 21, with a win over ninth-ranked and then-undefeated Colorado State, 80-75. The game marked the only time Colorado State, which was ranked as high as No. 4 in the country, lost in the regular season.
Cal finished last season a winner of four of its final six contests, narrowly missing a bid to the Women's National Invitation Tournament. Expectations are even higher for this year's team as the Bears have an excellent chance of posting their first winning season since 1992-93 and likewise their first NCAA bid since that same year.
"Our goal this year is to advance to the NCAA Tournament, which means finishing in the top four or five in the Pac-10," said Stanley. "If we can be in the top three in every defensive category in the conference and have a balanced offensive attack, I believe we will reach our goal of being a contender for postseason honors."
Defense has always been a hallmark of Stanley's teams. Last season was no different as the Bears ranked fourth in the conference in scoring defense at 67.7 points per game. With an arsenal of quick players, Cal looks to step up its defensive intensity even further this season to fulfill its long-term goals.
Despite graduating four seniors, including two starters, Cal has many reasons to believe it has the personnel to be successful during the final season of the 20th century. The Bears are an experienced team with seven upper-classmen - one senior and six juniors - and three returning starters.
Leading the way for Cal is senior Paige Bowie, a 1999 honorable mention All-Pac-10 selection who is coming off of her best overall season as a Bear. The 6-0 wing from Fresno, Calif., led her team in scoring last year for the second-consecutive season with 11.9 points per game, while also contributing 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.4 steals per game.
Bowie has a reputation as one of the most lethal three-point shooters in the conference. Last year, she converted on 31.9 percent of her three-point attempts (52-163), placing her fifth in Cal history for three-pointers made (97), fourth for attempts (323) and on pace to break both records (159 and 460).
"Everyone knows Paige can shoot the basketball," said Stanley. "I'm looking for Paige to diversify her game. We need her to feed the post and set other people up, but at the same time, she needs to be a go-to scoring threat from the perimeter."
While Bowie is a three-year starter at small forward, junior Lauren Ashbaugh is coming off her first season as Cal's starting power forward. A 6-2 post player from Redmond, Wash., Ashbaugh led Cal and ranked eighth in the Pac-10 last season in rebounding with 6.2 per game and contributed 5.8 points per game.
"Lauren enters the 1999-00 campaign healthy for the first time since her freshman year," said Stanley. "We expect a much bigger offensive contribution from Lauren this season."
Sophomore Ami Forney, a 6-2 forward/center from Newark, Calif., is expected to be a key contributor for Cal. As a freshman, Forney averaged six minutes a game and showed her rebounding and scoring potential.
"Ami has the ability to be one of the best rebounders in the Pac-10," said Stanley. "She will have to step up big for us on the glass at both ends of the court this season."
Redshirt sophomores Masa Radovic and Kawai Matthews also figure to be impact players for the Bears. Radovic, a versatile 6-1 forward from Belgrade, Yugoslavia, was a member of the Pac-10 All-Freshman team and Cal's co-MVP in 1997-98 when she averaged 10.9 points and 2.9 assists per game. In 1998-99, Radovic played in Cal's first three games before receiving a medical redshirt due to back and knee problems. The Bears missed her ballhandling, passing and shooting abilities last year.
Matthews, a 5-11 swing player who sat out the mandatory season after transferring from San Diego State, should see time at both forward positions. A native of Los Angeles, Matthews is a mature player, who is capable of scoring from the perimeter or down on the blocks. In a reserve roll for San Diego State in 1997-98, she averaged 4.4 points and 2.2 rebounds per game.
The lone freshman for the Bears is Amber White, a 6-0 forward/guard from Los Angeles, who comes to Cal from one of the most heralded high school programs in the country. White helped lead Narbonne High School to the 1998 Division I state title. She should see time at the three and four positions for Cal as she is a strong defensive player, who is capable of scoring inside and outside.
Cal must replace Jennie Leander, who finished her four-year Bear career last season as the 10th-leading scorer in school history with 1,144 points. Junior Genevieve Swedor, a 6-3 transfer from New Mexico Junior College, is a strong candidate to fill that hole for the Bears. Swedor is an aggressive post player who runs the floor well. She was recognized by many recruiting services as one of the top 10 post players in last year's junior college class, averaging 12 points and 10 rebounds per game. A native of Auvernier Switzerland, Swedor has been a member of Switzerland's National Team since 1998.
"Genevieve is someone who is going to rebound well for us, give us inside scoring and make it very difficult for other teams to slow down our fast-break," said Stanley.
Sophomore Shavaki Jackson, a 6-4 high school All-American center from Berkeley, was Cal's most consistent post player off the bench last year, averaging 7.4 points and 4.8 rebounds per game.
The 1999-00 Cal squad boasts an experienced backcourt, including junior Courtney Johnson, who returns as Cal's starting off-guard. The Antioch, Calif., native was named Cal's best defensive player last year after finishing second in the Pac-10 with 2.7 steals per game. Her 74 steals tied for eighth all-time on Cal's season chart. Johnson also emerged as Cal's third-leading scorer with 9.7 points per game, more than double her average (3.9) as a freshman.
Junior Kenya Corley, a 5-8 off-guard, also is a veteran member of Cal's backcourt. Corley saw the most playing time of any Cal reserve as a sophomore, averaging 18.2 minutes per game. An athletic player from Lancaster, Calif., Corley stepped up her numbers last year to 4.2 points and 2.2 rebounds per game and ranked fourth on the team in blocked shots with 12.
"This should be a breakthrough year for Kenya," said Stanley. "She is one of the most explosive offensive talents I've coached. The last half of her sophomore year she stepped up her scoring production, and I expect Kenya to play a big role in our entire scheme this year."
While the Bears must replace Sherrise Smith, last year's starting point guard and team MVP, they are excited about the arrival of two talented junior college point guards - Becky Staubes and Nicole Ybarra. For the first time in Stanley's tenure at Cal, she has the luxury of depth at the point guard position.
Stanley believes Cal can be successful with either player leading the team at the point but feels they bring different qualities to the court.
"Nicole is more of a passer, a quarterback-type player, who is very good at finding and setting up the open player," said Stanley. "Becky also has good ballhandling and passing skills, but she is more of a slasher to the basket. Both our point guards are versatile scorers, as well."
Ybarra, a 5-8 native of Elk Grove, Calif., starred at Sacramento City College, where she led her team to the state playoffs and twice earned all-conference honors. Ybarra played in the California junior college all-star game with Staubes, who was a two-time all-conference player at San Diego Mesa Community College. The 5-10 Lemon Grove, Calif., native led Mesa College to two conference titles and a combined record of 50-11 over two seasons.
Janet Franey, a 5-8 sophomore, is a second-year walk-on who could factor into the guard rotation. Franey saw action in nine games as a freshman, including seven Pac-10 contests.
"Janet is one of the most improved players on the team this season," said Stanley.
The Schedule
Cal closes out the century with one of its most challenging schedules in years. The Bears play eight teams who qualified for the 1999 NCAA Tournament, including four non-conference opponents - Santa Clara, Colorado State and North Carolina on the road, and Florida at home. Pac-10 rivals Oregon, UCLA, Stanford and Arizona also qualified for the Big Dance last year, maintaining the conference's streak of sending three or more teams to the tournament every year since the tournament's inception in 1982. Oregon and UCLA tied for the Pac-10 championship last season. Pepperdine and Washington, 1999 WNIT participants, are also on Cal's schedule.
The Bears compete in two tournaments this season. Cal hosts the 22nd-annual Oakland Tribune Classic, Dec. 18-19, at Haas Pavilion. The tournament features a competitive field - Cal, Florida, Pepperdine and Illinois-Chicago. Cal spends Thanksgiving in Fort Collins, Colo., at the Coors Rocky Mountain Invitational, Nov. 27-28, where the Bears face Idaho in the first round.
The Pac-10 has taken notice of Cal's recent improvement, and Stanley believes that this could be the year the Bears growl is heard throughout the country.
"Last year was a critical year for us as we approached the .500 mark," said Stanley. "This year, we believe we can have a breakthrough season, finish in the top half of the conference and earn an NCAA Tournament bid."

Ga.'s trendsetter HOPE scholarship faces deep cuts
ATLANTA Georgia's promise was simple: Get good grades in high school, get a free college education. More than a million students took advantage. Soon, however, it may be offered only to the brightest of the bright.
College costs and enrollment are rising in the state, and the governor is proposing to cut back on the first-in-the-nation HOPE scholarship, reserving the free ride for those with at least a 3.7 GPA, up from 3.0, and a 1200 on the SAT.
The rest would get some tuition help, an amount that could change from year to year.
All of it has high schoolers and their families scrambling to figure out how to pay for college, at a time of the year when they are busy deciding what school to attend next fall.
"Basically, HOPE was the reason I was staying in the state in the first place," said Maya Basu, 18, a senior from Cumming, Ga., whose older sister used it to attend the University of Georgia. "It's just going to make it really difficult."
Education experts and officials in the dozen states with similar programs are watching Georgia's moves closely.
"People are going to be looking to Georgia to see what can go wrong," said Will Doyle, a researcher at Vanderbilt University who focuses on lottery scholarships. "These programs weren't built to last."
Georgia created the program in 1993. At the time, Gov. Zell Miller used it to sell voters on one of the first lotteries in the Bible Belt. The scholarship would be funded with proceeds from the lottery system.
HOPE also inspired a national tax credit and helped convince voters in other conservative states to allow lotteries.
Since then, Georgia has been recognized as one of the most generous for college aid, including being ranked as No. 1 - or among the top three - for years on the National Association of State Student Aid & Grant Programs list.
The first year HOPE served about 43,000 students and cost about $21 million. At the time, it covered two years of college and was not available to families earning more than $66,000 a year.
Today, there is no income cap. It pays for a full degree, costs more than $639 million and covers 236,134 students.
About a third of students enrolled in public colleges and universities in the state use the program. It has paid for more than 1 million students to attend college since its inception.
Over the years there have been complaints that HOPE has been too lavish.
There is a running joke about so-called HOPE-mobiles - BMWs and Audis - that populate the campuses of UGA and Georgia Tech, purchased by well-off parents whose children are on HOPE scholarships.
The success of the program has also helped schools in neighboring states and second-tier Georgia public colleges.
As student performance rose, it has become harder to get into top-tier public schools like UGA and Georgia Tech, which have jumped in rankings. That has meant more Georgians at colleges like Auburn and the University of Alabama.
Eventually, the demand for the Georgia program and the rising cost of tuition at colleges and universities in the state outpaced the pool of money available in the lottery system.
State officials knew the shortfall would arrive, but have only tinkered with the program to make eligibility requirements more strict. This year, the state has had to draw from a reserve account to fund the program.
On Tuesday, Gov. Nathan Deal went further, proposing an overhaul that would save some $300 million.
Under his plan, free public college tuition would be available to students with a GPA of at least 3.7 and a minimum 1200 on the SAT - about 10 percent of current recipients meet those standards.

Update on Mujeres Unidas GroupThe "Mujeres Unidas" (United Women) communal bank has ten members; responsible mothers with 20 children in their care. They are from El Sauce, a place located in the northern zone of the country. They are noted for being responsible women with a strong drive towards personal improvement. In their free time they like to enjoy their children and prepare traditional dishes like Nacatamales [Nicaraguan style tamales]. Unfortunately, due to the lack of economic resources they were unable to attend university and had to start to work at a young age to help with household expenses. They strive daily to provide a better future for their children.
Thanks to her spirit and drive to get ahead, Nancy's economic activity is a home-based 'pulpería.' A pulpería is a small store that sells food items in small quantities: envelopes of coffee, shampoo, sugar, soap, oil, herbal tea, eggs, beans, bread, milk, juice, matches and cigarettes by the unit. She spends 12 hours daily at work selling her products. The loan's objective is to invest in working capital and stock the store with the purchase and sale of food items so that in the not too distant future she can earn higher income.
The Mujeres Unidas communal bank is grateful for the support Kiva lenders provide for people of scarce resources and to poor countries like Nicaragua in order to have ways of earning a living with dignity.
Gracia a su espíritu y sus ganas de salir adelante, Nancy tiene por actividad económica una pulpería ubicada en su casa de habitación. Una pulpería es una pequeña tienda que vende productos comestibles y en cantidades pequeñas como. Sobre de café, shampoo, azúcar, jabón, aceite, tiste, huevos, frijoles, pan, leche, jugos, fósforos, cigarros por unidad. Ella dedica a su negocio unas 12 horas diarias ofreciendo sus productos. El objetivo del crédito es invertir en capital de trabajo y surtir su negocio en la compra y venta de productos comestibles, para que en un futuro no muy lejano pueda obtener mejores ingresos. El banco comunal Mujeres Unidas agradece la ayuda que los inversionistas kiva les brindan a personas de escasos recursos y países pobre como es Nicaragua para tener un medio de trabajo digno.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Next month, the latest film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. On May 15, audiences will hear in the movie, two musician/actors covering the late Amy Winehouse. Andre 3000 and Beyonce have teamed to perform "Back To Black," which will also appear on the film's soundtrack. E! News broke the story late last night when they confirmed this with film reps.
The Outkast emcee and Destiny's Child front-woman previously worked together in 2011 on "Party," from Bey's 4 album. "Back To Black" was the third single on Amy Winehouse's 2006 album of the same name.
Jay-Z is executive producing the soundtrack, which currently does not have a release date.

At SXSW in March, Expion hosted "The Power of Microcontent Marketing in the Moment" panel moderated by David Teicher, Associate Editor, Ad Age, with panelists: Bonin Bough, VP of Global Media and Consumer Engagement, Mondelez International; Steve Doan, Senior Associate Brand Manager, Oreo (a Mondelez International brand), Gary Vaynerchuk, Co-Founder, VaynerMedia; David Berkowitz, VP, Emerging Media, 360i; and our very own Albert Chou, Chief Innovation Officer, Expion. We're condensing the one and a half hour panel video into 1-3 minute snippets on the panelists' thoughts about Real Time Marketing.
The first Real Time Marketing Series video highlights engagement. Watch the second segment below, where David Armano, Managing Director with Edelman Digital, Chicago, asked the panel to discuss what's next:
Big shout out to Armano for getting the panel even more riled up then they were! Between Gary, Bonin, Armano, Berky and Al, here are the key takeaways:
- With these command centers through social listening and data mining, brands are gathering how consumers are really using products, what words they are using, how they are consuming the product and what their experience is. It's the first real "in the moment," continuous research that is taking unaided awareness into account 24/7. Brands can learn what product attributes aren't getting across and brands can shift their marketing message to address gaps. Also, brands are analyzing the product conversation to see new product development opportunities.
- The news analogy is goodness – Real Time Marketing is like breaking news. This panel is talking about just one small segment of marketing – and even still just a portion of content marketing. The overall topic is content warfare. With any type of warfare you need to go in with a strategy. We really are talking about a subset of the overarching social business direction of organizations. All these social business directives roll up to company objectives and finding measurable solutions for brand problems.
- The race is on for the brand side and the tech side partnering together. The brand side needs storytellers nimble enough to pivot in real time and the tech side – folks like Expion – needs to get the right data to the storytellers to help share the content that meet their objectives and resonate with the target consumer in real time. And that really isn't "Real Time Marketing," it's just marketing.
Like what you see? Stay tuned, the next Real Time Marketing Series snippet will cover media integration and ROI.
Zena Weist is the Vice President of Strategy at Expion. She is an integrated media strategist with over 17 years of executive leadership in online marketing on both the agency and brand side, providing digital communications and social media strategic counsel across a portfolio of Fortune 500 companies. Zena has led award-winning interactive teams at Edelman, H&R Block, Sprint, Hallmark and Embarq, providing leadership in online brand engagement, digital strategy, and integrated marketing communications. When her fingers aren't on the keyboard, Zena is playing with her family of four active kids plus one adorable husband or trying to sneak in a run.

It's been awhile since the last PlayStation 3 FCC Reveal, but today the sleuths at Engadget.com (linked above) have uncovered new PS3 Slim Retail and PS3 Debug models via FCC just before E3 arrives.
To quote: "PlayStation 3 models CECH-2501A and CECH-2501B are both certified for 802.11b/g WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR differing only in hard disk drive configurations.
We're also seeing a pair of PS3 DECH-2500A and DECH-S2500A debugging stations - interesting since a debug unit is typically only required when there's been a change in the chips on the motherboard. Feel free to speculate as we prepare for E3 to kick off on June 15th."

(*Warning: Spoilers ahead.*)
It's tough enough trying to figure out what to do about childcare when you're a working parent who's had time to plan since your child was but the size of a wee grain of rice. But if working parenthood is suddenly thrust upon you with no warning, trying to figure out what arrangement works best for you and the child can be a nightmare.
That's the premise of the Catherine Zeta-Jones flick, "No Reservations." Zeta-Jones plays Kate Armstrong, an accomplished gourmet chef who runs the kitchen in a high-end New York City restaurant. She gets up each morning in the 4 o'clock hour to go to the docks and select fish for the restaurant's specials. She slugs back home, snoozes for a bit, then returns to the restaurant in the afternoon. And stays until midnight, sometimes later. Now imagine shoe-horning the care of a freshly orphaned 9-year-old girl -- Kate's niece Zoë (Abigail Breslin) -- into that kind of a schedule, with little to no help from anyone else.
"No Reservations [1]" paints a spot-on picture of the harsh realities of trying to find after-school care, as well as evening care (Kate works nights), on the fly. Early in the film, Kate tries, and fails, to find a babysitter for Zoë. She first contacts an agency and requests a babysitter to watch the child after-school and through the night until she comes home from the restaurant. And who shows up at her door just before Kate has to leave? A young babysitter decked out in Goth attire, complete with nose ring, ripped fishnet stockings, black lipstick, a dog collar and attitude. Hours later when Kate returns, not only does she discover that the sitter left cigarette ash-filled plates all over, but she took off well before Kate came home from work. The terrified, grieving little girl who is in a new apartment, all alone, is found hiding under a bed with a flashlight and some stuffed animals.
Not wanting a repeat with another bad sitter, Kate takes Zoë to work the next night, where the sad girl sits in the back of the kitchen. Alone. The first smile she cracks is when new chef Nick Palmer (Aaron Eckhart) -- hired to cover for a pregnant chef who was about to go on maternity leave -- engages her and gets her to eat a bowl of pasta he made. Gradually, Nick draws Zoë out of her shell. As I watched the evening unfold, I kept thinking that Kate was lucky she was the head chef and that no one minded that Zoë was hanging around and falling asleep over her A-Z Mystery books in Kate's office. Not everyone would've been able to take her kid to work.
Hours later, Kate rises at 4:30 a.m., planning on leaving Zoë sleeping while she goes to the docks. But Zoë wakes up and wants to come along. All is fine until the two oversleep after coming back to the apartment and Zoë is late for school.
Though Zoë blossoms during her subsequent evenings in the kitchen with Nick and Kate at her side -- earning the nickname "sous chef" from Nick -- a 9-year-old simply cannot keep up with these kinds of hours, never mind do her homework. Soon the unforgiving school principal summons Kate to her office to tell her that Zoë has been sleeping in class. Then she threatens to have folks from social services put Zoë in a foster home if Kate continues bringing Zoë to work. Throw in the fact that when the pregnant chef goes into labor at the restaurant, Kate brings her to the hospital and completely forgets about picking up Zoë, and one can see how lonely single parenthood can be, how fraught with potential landmines.
Kate is left with no choice but to ask a divorced dad, who lives in her apartment building and has two boys of his own, to check in on Zoë, who is left alone in the apartment, while Kate is at work. It isn't until Kate finally finds a nanny, via the neighbor, when things finally began to calm down, at least as far as childcare is concerned. Bonding emotionally with a girl she hardly knew, that takes some work.
There is one troubling subplot though that wasn't fully clarified throughout the film, involving the pregnant waitress, Leah (Jenny Wade). Soon after having her baby, restaurant owner Paula (Patricia Clarkson), who has a contentious relationship with Kate, offers Nick Kate's job as the head chef. This left me with the question: Would there now be three chefs, or would one of the female chefs – the mom on maternity leave, or the new working mom Kate -- get the unceremonious boot? This was never made clear, and I wondered if the owner was engaging in parental discrimination.
"No Reservations" is refreshing in that it doesn't patronize Kate for her career goals, nor does it whitewash her difficulties in becoming an instant parent. New York Times [2] reviewer Matt Zoller Seitz put it well when he said, "Modern Hollywood movies often genuflect toward feminism while implying that a woman isn't truly a woman until she has gratefully surrendered to motherhood. While watching 'No Reservations' you keep waiting for the other high heeled shoe to drop, but it never really does."
For that, I was thankful, and, by the end of the film, very hungry.

A pair of retailers are competing against each other for game deals once again and it is Nintendo 3DS owners who can come out ahead. Mario Kart 7, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Super Mario 3D Land all received discounts on Wednesday at Best Buy and Amazon.
Mario Kart 7 has been discounted $10 at both Amazon and Best Buy from its regular price of $39.99 and can now be picked up for $29.99.
Meanwhile, Fire Emblem: Awakening sees the exact same discount and price at Best Buy but is currently sold out at Amazon (except through a third-party reseller) though it may return.
Even Super Mario 3D Land jumps in the $10 off act for Best Buy and Amazon.
The sale price for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate is a mirror image at Amazon and Best Buy as both whipped it down $15 from $39.99 to $24.99.
Free shipping is available from both retailers but sales tax is almost guaranteed at Best Buy. Amazon is hit or miss depending on the state you may live in. A deadline on when these deals end is not known but through Saturday, May 18 is a safe bet.

So I went out this morning to where I work and tested my U-lock. Amazingly enough I was able to lock both wheels to the thickest steel post allowed. And I was also able to put the U-lock through the frame of my bike as well.
However, the posts at work only allow you to push the bike in backwards. If I push the bike in forwards the back wheel doesn't reach far enough to the steel ring. So I locked my bike and took a look.
My beautiful shifters stand out like a sore thumb. My bike is all black and the Shimano shifters are grey. It would take someone with a nut wrench all but 10 seconds to unscrew the nuts and take my shifters, handlebar, and stem.
I cannot see a way of averting that situation. Removing the stem would require removing all the cables and I'm not sure how to do that.
Anyone recommend some ideas for me?

I have both Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 installed, each in their own directories (and hence neither of these is under the "program files" hierarchy).If I do "about:plugins" in Firefox, there is no sign of a BP plugin listed.What do I need to do to install BP within Firefox?
We have a fix for the multiple/non-standard firefox installation issues and should be pushing an update shortly. Until then, the workaround that bartt describes should work.
Looking forward to the fix, since the workaround does not apply.As I noted, there does not appear to be any files that have been added to ANY of the Firefox installations - nothing is noted in the install log, and the npybrowserplus_2.1.6.dll does not appear to have been placed anywhere on my hard drive.If simply copying this file in will fix the problem, is there somewhere where I can download this file from?

Case Study on developing a Senior Leadership Team
Leadership development programme for Housing Association senior managers
Background to the Leadership Development Programme
We were selected to run a leadership development programme for the Senior Management Team (SMT) of a highly successful and well known Housing Association. We designed the programme based on extensive engagement with the client and were able to access results of both the Executive Teams' and SMT's assessment processes and the Association's 360 feedback system.
Tools used to identify senior management training needs
The outputs from these were crucial to ensure we correctly identified the leadership training needs for this Senior Management Development Programme. So we were able to use personalised feedback profiles for each individual, guidelines for analysing the results, implications for Personal Development Plans and one-to-one feedback sessions. Fundamental was the use of the competency framework and the building on solutions that were already in place to meet development needs that had been provided at individual level.
We went on to provide a robust, forward thinking and well supported Development Programme that met both collective and individual needs, closed any gaps and equipped SMT to excel across all required competencies. We ensured the crucial link to business plan objectives.
Overview Of Our Leadership Development Solution
Our task had been to address the individual and collective development needs, within the context of live organisational and strategic issues and challenges.
Tools used to deliver the management training programme
To achieve this, we chose a combined approach using a series of workshops, supplemented by action learning sets, individual, mentor supported projects and a live SMT group challenge. This was worked on collectively to plan and execute a strategy to overcome that challenge. The solution devised by SMT was to be presented to Executive Team at the end of the programme. This added further value corporately.
The action learning sets and the group challenge improved team working and SMT members worked together to develop team and individual skills. The combination of workshops and the other activities encouraged managers to critically reflect on and share experiences and skills. To encourage and support this reflective process, managers were also required to keep a reflective journal.
Outcomes of the leadership development programme
The programme, which in total spanned nine months, received excellent feedback from both sponsors and delegates. The delegates made the most of the workshops and now have advanced skills and techniques to provide transformational leadership of their teams. They completed individual projects all based on actual and relevant challenges within their particular specialisms. They also worked together to solve a complex organisational set of issues during a time of considerable change. The action learning sets proved very popular and added real value. It proved such a successful way of learning that most managers wanted to continue this mechanism after the development programme had finished.
As a result of this successful leadership development programme, we were requested to work with the Executive Team to develop their leadership skills still further and we are working with the Housing Association this year on other management development and staff training initiatives.
Feedback from the leadership development programme
Here are some examples of the feedback we received.
"Thanks so much for a wonderful two days, your achievement in meeting the needs of a disparate group – in terms of skills and understanding – was excellent. All the feedback that I have had has been positive. We are also delighted with the support material – it is extremely comprehensive and I am really looking forward to reading my copy."
Human Resources Manager
"The Senior Management Development Programme: I thought it was a fantastic, wonderfully challenging, interesting and a very professionally delivered couple of days. Thank you very much for what I consider to be a great opportunity."
Head of ICT
"Just wanted to send you a note to say thanks for your efforts over the last couple of days. It was really interesting and your facilitation and knowledge was first class."
"Having been a Director in my last role and now seeing the world from a slightly different perspective again, I find leadership theory and techniques very useful tools.."
"I look forward to working with you again on the Action Learning sessions."

Run laps around the competition with these top Android racing games
by Tim McLain
Start your engines, Android-carrying race fans! Whether you're a road race fan, or prefer to get your speed on in the cockpit of a jet-powered boat, here's a short list of solid, race-ready apps waiting for you in the Android marketplace.
Asphalt HD ($4.99)
Gameloft is known for combining top-quality graphics with super-smooth arcade control schemes, giving casual racing game fans a lot to love. Asphalt HD marries a dizzying array of content with a long list of unlockable racing whips, offering up a high-quality racing experience that can only be had on newer Droid devices. There are 30 vehicles to unlock from the usual suspects (Ferrari, Audi, Ducati anyone?), along with 12 tracks of goodness.
Racing is fun, with the default tilt-steering setup working well after a little practice. The first few tries will result in over-steering into walls and competitors; figuring out the sweet spot for avoiding this will be critical to your long-term success as a top finisher.
New racers will quickly unlock fetching female co-pilots, special racing events, time trials, drifting competitions and a fair amount of cash, which can be used to buy new cars, upgrades to rides and lots more. As long as you're not looking for a true driving simulator, Asphalt 5 has many hours of arcade racing fun in store.

Reckless Racing ($2.99)
From the first moment you press your gas pedal to the firewall and hear and see a cascade of virtual stones and dirt flying from your back tires, you'll be hooked on this instant Android classic. The top-down view makes it easy to see the tracks, which are just curvy enough to challenge your drifting abilities. Add a quality musical score and lots of "Yeehaw!" hootin' and hollerin' when you take a jump or cut off a fellow racer, and you can't help but smile and enjoy the ride.
Take some time to play with the controls, and remember that a few small taps on the directional buttons make for good turns; hold down left and right at your peril. Bubba, Otis, Lurlene, Cletus and Floyd are waiting to challenge you in single player mode, or dive into the multiplayer to compete with the best of the best, then post your times on the leaderboards for all to see. An in-game chat module adds an additional layer of smack-talking to this must-have racing experience.
Wave Blazer ($2.99)
Hydro Thunder fans, your long wait for a mobile version of this boat-racing classic is nearly over. Wave Blazer brings the familiar action, quality graphics and smooth controls to your Android device.
The gameplay is familiar: Place in the top three of each race, and more boats and race locations are unlocked. From snowy ice racing, to Caribbean island hopping, there's something here for everyone. Tilt your phone to steer, make appropriate use of your nitro to boost your way past the competition, and be sure to move to better boats, and the action moves along.
Sadly, the AI of your opponents is a bit lacking, there's no way to ram other boats out of your way, it's too easy to get stuck on walls, and there's not much in the way of collectible items embedded in each track. Let's hope Polarbit can bring these features and fixes to an update in early 2011!
Touch Racing Nitro ($3.95)
If you're a fan of mini-RC car racing, you'll feel right at home in this visually appealing game. Take control of a tiny race car, and use your fingers to control the gas, brake, steering wheel and nitro-booster to dominate your opponents across three unique environments and 18 tracks in total.
With a bit of practice, the finger-touch controls make for a satisfying racing experience. Save your nitro boosts (which you can pick up from the track during each race) for the final set of laps, and you'll quickly pull out ahead and place in the top three without much trouble. This is a slick, challenging racer that should find a good home on your Droid device.
Need for Speed Shift (on sale for $0.99)
I saved the very best for last. Designed to run on the newest Snapdragon-powered Android devices (EVO, Incredible, Droid X), EA's Need for Speed Shift is the go-to racing app, putting you in the driver's seat for a groundbreaking 28-state career mode.
The entire 3D racing experience is spot-on, with accelerometer controls that make nailing the turns easy, adding on-screen buttons for changing camera angles, braking, and more. As you progress through the career mode, you'll earn money to unlock new cars, upgrades like slick tires and nitrous boost.
I find the hood view the best way to master the turns on most tracks. Be sure to click the camera button to find which view works best for your style of racing. Get your friends in on the action with local Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connections, and you can all ooh and aah over this top-quality racing title for the Droid.

Have to agree with many posters here.
The window manager now draws using DX - great! Mission Accomplished. However now that you have unlimited abilities why not use them? While Avalon seems to have solved the 2D graphics issues as per development and desiagn, many 3D usage questions are largely unresolved.
Flipping windows and glass like transparency are yesterday's news. Vista would appear to have the engine of a Ferrari and the body of a Toyota Camry.
And what's the deal with lack of skinning? Ok so grandma won't want skins, so why deny the ability to everyone? Even with skinning ability built in, is it built in in such a way that grandma is forced to use it? The uniformity of windows IS NOT THE SELLING POINT. I must have watched 10 videos today and ironically the thing most developers got most excited about was the revamping of the bundled games. Why is the creativity of Microsoft employees so stifled that they only feel comfrotable experimenting with the "unimportant" areas of Windows? Are people going to switch to OS X in droves because the Windows UI is "too 3D", that somehow there are too many skinable options and that they would therfore feel a need to use OS X to get a sense of conformity in their work? What kind of BS arguments are these?
How ironic-when Kam is asked for something to show off about the new window manager, he has almost nothing to talk about and then says "This is super secret PDC bits- I'll show you THE NEW SOLITARE?" Hello? Solitare? That's the best the Windows Team can do? Oh and Minesweeper. Yeah that's some 21st century lipstick for the 1990's pig, alright. When I tune into the NBA Championships I want to see Micheal Jordon play. What group of people at Microsoft hires 500+ Micheal Jordon's and then tells them they can't dunk and dribble, all they can do is pass and shoot from the outside because 400 million people in the audience might get too excited? Common people this is making me sad.

It Remains Extremely Challenging to Identify...
Researchers Are Developing Ways to Edit...
To Know Where Biosimilars Are Going,...
The Various Segments that Comprise the...
GlycoRegImmune (GRI) has teamed up with RxMD to progress a pipeline of inflammatory, autoimmune, and neurodegenerative disease candidates based on the former's natural killer (NK) T cell targeting drug platforms.
RxMD is a therapeutics company focused on developing and establishing clinical proof of concept for early-stage drug candidates. Through the firm's collaborative business model, partners can access RxMD's clinical development capabilities and expertise on a success-based outcome basis, rather than through fee-for-service agreements.
"RxMD's approach is perfect for an early-stage company like ours seeking to preserve resources for ongoing discovery," says Marc Hertz, Ph.D., GRI CEO. "We now have full access to RxMD's world-class drug development capabilities, which will allow us to design and execute development strategies for our drug candidates much more rapidly and efficiently."
Biotech startup GRI is focused on developing NK T cell-targeted therapies against liver disease and autoimmune disorders. The firm says NK T cells share properties of both NK and T cells, and represent a functional link between the innate and adaptive immune responses, which regulate the expression of key cytokines and are critical in modulating the immune response.
In May 2009 the firm acquired exclusive worldwide rights from the Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies to develop a type II NK T cell technology. Earlier this month GRI acquired exclusive worldwide rights to the Torrey Pines type I NK T cell inhibitor technology. The firm's lead type I NK T cell inhibitors and type II NK T cell modulators include a novel formulation of an FDA-approved drug for treating alcoholic liver disease, and sulfatide and NCE sulfatide mimetics for liver disease, autoimmunity, and ischemic reperfusion injury.

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Generally courts look at more than just biology in cases such as you describe.
Given that your name is XXXXX XXXXX birth certificate, you have had custody of her along with the mother for the last 34 months, have cared for her, provided both emotional and financial support since birth, and the biological father has had no involvement during the 34 months period, you should not have a problem obtaining joint custody and visitation exactly as if you were also the biological father.
While biology and paternity testing is helpful in some cases, ultimately it is the care and support (financial and emotional) that children need. Courts have always recognized this and will consider this as a more important factor when consider who the father is than simple biology.
So even you should be able to petition the appropriate family court in either WA or CA for the court to settle issues of custody, child support, and visitation without much difficulty proving that you are the true father of this child.
The biological father may be granted visitation, but it is unlikely he would be granted even joint custody (either physical or legal) given the fact that he has chosen not to be involved in his child's life for first (almost) 3 years.
The only exception is he could show *good cause" why he was not involved with the child. Being addicted to drugs, unemployed, having had a restraining order against him placed by the mother, etc. are not considered cause for essentially abandoning his child for almost 3 years.
So you should approach the process as though you are the father of this child as though any other father would. That is most likely the way the judge is going to view you.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this.
Good luck,

Dancing With The Stars: Maks And Brandy Clear The Air About The Tension Between Them
September 29, 2010 08:00 AM by Lisa Princ
On Monday night's episode of ABC's Dancing With The Stars we saw a little behind the scenes bickering between partners Maks and Brandy, but both are assuring everyone that there is no tension between them. Keep reading for all the details!
We saw what seemed like some heated bickering between Maks and Brandy on Dancing With The Stars, with Brandy even referring to him as "a-holish" during their rehearsals but both of them are making it clear that there is no tension between them and it was all in good fun. Maksim Chmerkovskiy recently told US Magazine "We just need to make sure we show people who we really are because that package didn't show it all! We know that as soon as the camera went to the next shot, we were dying laughing." as he does not want viewers and fans to get the wrong impression of their disagreement.
Brandy also assured US Magazine that nothing was meant by that or her comments as she says "People want the drama, and we understand that. But Maks and I know how it is. I love this guy! He was born on the same day as my brother who's my favorite person in the world. I know where he's coming from; he knows where I'm coming from. We both want to win, and we want to do a good job." Maks followed up with "hopefully we'll be able to show everyone what we have going on. If the drama tonight they showed set us back a little – I'm not worried!" Don't worry Brandy and Maks, your true fans won't care about a silly fight as long as it doesn't affect your performance!

A Must Read - Share
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- It's not even close: Amazon's Jeff Bezos is the greatest and most brilliant CEO of all time. If you measure shareholder value delivered relative to the amount of investment and company performance, Bezos beats Apple's Steve Jobs, Microsoft's Bill Gates and others with ease.
Brilliant is a strong and sometimes overused adjective, but how else can you describe a CEO who has once again delivered a loss, will likely deliver a loss in the best retail quarter of the year and Wall Street collectively says "Hey, we need to buy more of this stock 100 P/E stock because it

Springsteen is the total package. He is a phenomenal mover with a superb jumping style. He is a very comfortable ride, with 3 soft and elastic gaits with an easy lead change. He is a handy and scopey jumper, making him suitable for the equitation and hunter rings, as well as a derby prospect. He is ready for a junior/amateur, but will also excel in the pro divisions.
Honest, Fast and careful Child/Adult jumper. Has shown up and down the East Coast from Ocala to Vermont. Ribbons in Meter 1.10 - 1.30. Excellent form over fences. Very good mover. Has also been successful in Hunters, Eq and Derbies.
He has shown successfully in the jumpers in Germany, and last year he placed in the 1.30m. This horse is incredibly easy and would be suitable for a junior or amateur.
Imported from Germany in August 2015. Good mover and very scopey jumper. Bred for the jumper ring but quiet enough for the Hunter ring.
Very relaxed, layed back attitude. Crossties, stands for farrier, comes on trailer and loves to be turned out with others. Floaty trot and very balanced canter. Extremely athletic.
Imported from Germany in August 2015. Extremely easy and comfortable. "10" Jumper and will always get a piece of the hack. Good ribbons over fences & second in the hack at 1st show in USA. No school. No prep needed. Tons of Talent!
Imported from Germany in October 2015. Peter is an easy strait forward ride.
To say Joe is special is an understatement! He is an amazing athlete with grand prix potential. Joe also has the look and attitude to be a top equitation horse with a sweet in your pocket personality. He is scopey, built uphill, comfortable, brave. The adjectives can go on for miles. Plus he has stunning good looks, a real head turner. Joe walk, trots, canters, goes down the lines easily with an auto lead change. He steps over 3'6". If you are looking for a young horse with endless potential, Joe is ready to be your star.
Hemingway (barn name Lapis) is a coming 9yo Zweibrucker Warmblood gelding by La Mode, foaled 6/6/2005. (USEF #4953919). Lapis is a stocky 16.1+ hands. Purchased as a 5yo, Lapis has been brought along with professional guidance by his junior rider. He has been brought along through the Pre-children's to the Children's divisions. He qualified and competed in the 2013 M&S finals in Children's Hunters and Equitation. Currently, his 14yo rider has moved up to the 3'6" Equitation classes winning their first class fourth time out with this young rider doing all the riding - no pro warm up. He has all the flat work - lead changes, counter canter and lateral moves. I cannot stress enough how EASY this horse is. Sister can do the 3'6" and then younger brother can win in the 2'6". Lapis is an excellent jumper and could also be very successful in the Junior Division. He is the perfect horse to bring your young junior rider out of short stirrup or off a pony and go all the way! Reason for selling - rider needs a bigger horse.
Limerick is a great mover with a textbook form over fences, which makes him a top condenser for the hunter ring. He is very quiet and has a great brain. He has 3 comfortable gaits, auto changes, a long slow stride, and very laid back attitude. Limerick is simple enough for a junior or amateur, but possesses enough talent and scope for the pro divisions.

Hollywood whore,
Passed out on the floor,
I'm sorry but the party's over.
Cocaine nose,
And trendy clothes,
Gotta send her to rehab.
She found out she's got no soul,
But it really doesn't bother her.
White trash queen,
American dream-
Oh, what a role model.
Throwing a fit,
Making a scene,
Like no tomorrow.
Hollywood whore,
Passed out on the floor,
Can't take it no more,
I'm sorry but the party's over.
The talk of the town,
Is she's going down.
I'm sorry but the
party's over NOW.
Awake by noon, drunk by 4.
Sucked up in the show biz.
You're so lame,
You're such a bore,
I wanna kick your teeth in.
Plastic smile,
To match your style-
We can tell you got a face lift.
You're so vain, oh so vile,
You're a number one hit.
Hollywood whore . . .
The cameras are gone,
And nobody screams.
She couldn't survive her
15 minutes of fame.
Her friends are all gone,
She's going insane.
She'll never survive
without the money
and fame.
It's all going down the drain.
Hollywood whore . . .
Wake up!!!!!
The party's over [4x] NOW
Don't let the door hit

James Brady's Death Ruled a Homicide
(NEWSER) – A Virginia medical examiner ruled today that the death of James Brady, Ronald Reagan's former press secretary, was actually a homicide, NBC Washington reports. Brady was severely wounded with a bullet to the head when John Hinckley tried to assassinate Reagan outside the Washington Hilton Hotel in 1981. The injury left Brady partly paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair with poor speech. Now, according to an autopsy, his death a few days ago was caused by complications from Hinkley's bullet.

By Chris Butler | Tennessee Watchdog
CHATTANOOGA — A federal administrator wants to dismiss a formal complaint against the Chattanooga Airport Authority from TAC Air, which says the authority used taxpayer money to compete against it.
The specific reasons the Federal Aviation Administrator wants to dismiss the complaint are unclear, but FAA administrators do not believe the airport authority violated federal law, according to Wednesday's Chattanooga Times Free Press, which said the decision is not final.
Tennessee Watchdog was unable to obtain a copy of the FAA report in which this administrator said the TAC Air complaint should be dismissed. TAC Air officials responded to the report on its website, saying it strongly disagrees with the FAA's conclusion.
Many officials in the FAA's press offices were unavailable to comment, nor could anyone report due to the federal government shutdown. One FAA employee who was available referred to the authority all questions on the matter.
Tennessee Watchdog left three messages Thursday with authority spokesman Albert Waterhouse, but he did not respond.
TAC Air spokesman Dave Edwards said the ruling changes nothing.
"The FAA basically has told the airport ,'Yeah, you've got the right to keep on spending taxpayer money on creating a surplus of general aviation services.'"
As previously reported, authority officials used $4 million in Tennessee Department of Transportation grants to establish a new Fixed Base of Operations to compete against TAC Air, formerly the airport's only FBO. They chose Wilson Air, and that company manages the FBO under the airport's authority.
Authority officials confirmed to Tennessee Watchdog last year they have lost at least $300,000 on the venture. TAC Air's examination of public records now shows the authority has lost $1.2 million since the new FBO opened in 2011, Edwards said.
Twelve members of Congress, including Tennessee representatives Diane Black and Marsha Blackburn, both Republicans, signed a letter asking the FAA to intervene last year, saying the agency has a responsibility to make sure all FBOs can compete on a level playing field.
James Coyne, president of the National Air Transportation Association, sent a letter to Tenn. Gov. Bill Haslam, also last year, asking that he and members of his administration scrutinize the matter. Coyne said such activity would discourage private investors away from the airport and create additional burdens for taxpayers.
Meanwhile, State Sen. Frank Nicely, R-Strawberry Plains, proposed legislation earlier this year that would have prohibited transportation equity funds from being used to compete with privately owned aviation companies providing aeronautical services.
Nicely withdrew the legislation until 2014.
