Lighting effects for photographs, one good idea leads to another! Mr. Ben Bradley is a graphic designer/ video artist from New Zealand with a story to tell! He was so inspired by this Abduzeedo tutorial called Sparkling Hot Girl, that he made this one, and sent it along to us. It's not that we like to pass along tutorials, but Ben adds so much more flourish and flash to the Abduzeedo tutorial that it now merits real creativity. Ben writes :
A lot of light effects are being used lately so here is another cool way to make your images look wicked hot! In this tutorial I am going to focus on how to get the cool patterns rather than the extraction of the girl but I will touch on it. This is my first ever tutorial, so hope I explain myself.
At right is an example of the final file ... click for an enlargement. The PSD file for this tutorial can be found at the bottom of the post.
Step: 1
Open photoshop and create a new document File>New. Create it any size you like, for this I made it 800×1000
Step: 2
Make sure your foreground and background colours are set to Black and White, you can hit X then D to do this. Create a new layer and name it "Origional" then Filter>Render>Clouds.
Step: 3
Still in your "original" layer go Filter> Pixelate> Mezzotint… A dialogue box will appear, I choose the setting medium strokes. But play around with the different setting to get new unique looks.
Step: 4
Still in your "original" layer go Filter>Blur>Radial Blur. In the dialogue box make the settings Amount:100, Blur Method: Zoom and set the quality to best.
These next steps are where you get to be creative and decide how crazy you want to go depending what setting you enter for the Twirl dialogue box.
Duplicate the layer called "original" twice and call them "twirl1" and "twirl2" using command/control + J. Now lock and turn the eye off on the original layer. ( I keep this layer just incase anything goes wrong, or if I want to add more later on.)
In your "twirl1" layer go Filter>Distort>Twirl… We are going to be doing this step a couple of times and depending on how you want it to look you will enter different settings. For my first "Twirl" I enter +77
Then in layer "twirl2" do the same Filter>Distort>Twirl… but change the twirl amount to (negative) 200. Now change the blending mode of Twirl2 to Lighten. Right, now its starting to take shape!
NEXT : CONTINUE the Effects with Swirls and Color

Hope College senior Danielle Silletti of Canton is one of only 74 undergraduates nationwide chosen to participate in the annual "Posters on the Hill" reception organized by the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) on Wednesday, April 13, in Washington, D.C.
Silletti, who is majoring in biology and minoring in chemistry, was chosen for research related to the detection of the presence of radioactive materials that she has been conducting with Dr. Graham Peaslee, who is a professor of chemistry and chairperson of the department, and a professor of geology/environmental science.
The event will be held on Capitol Hill in the Rayburn House Office Building from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Each student will present his or her research, displayed on posters, to the members of Congress, congressional staff members, federal government officials and others in attendance.
This year's event is taking place in conjunction with the national Undergraduate Research Week. Hope has also scheduled multiple events through Saturday, April 16, in local celebration of the national week.
Peaslee's research team, supported through grants from both the Department of Homeland Security and the National Science Foundation, has been exploring a new method of determining whether or not radioactive material has been present in a location. The approach is based on the idea that the radiation will have affected the structure of common minerals nearby, such as feldspars and carbonates, in a way that can be measured even though they will no longer be radioactive. The team has been studying the materials' cathodoluminescence, which is the visible light that they emit when struck by a beam generated by an electron gun.
Silletti has been working with Peaslee on the project since the fall of her sophomore year, including during both the school year and the summer. She is also a co-author with other students of two poster presentations regarding the work that will be made during the college's 10th annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Performance on Friday, April 15, from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. in the DeVos Fieldhouse.
Silletti is a 2007 graduate of SalemHigh School, and is the daughter of Michael and Sharon Silletti of Canton. After graduation she will hold a year-long internship with the FBI in Quantico, Va., where she had also interned in the summer of 2010, after which she intends to pursue graduate study.
Founded in 1978, CUR is a national organization of individual and institutional members representing more than 900 colleges and universities. CUR and its affiliated colleges, universities, and individuals share a focus on providing undergraduate research opportunities for faculty and students at all institutions serving undergraduate students. CUR believes that faculty members enhance their teaching and contribution to society by remaining active in research and by involving undergraduates in research.
Additional information about the college's celebration of national Undergraduate Research Week, including a complete schedule, is available online at www.hope.edu/resources/naturweek/Home.htm

I don't use Windows at home. Windows has nothing to offer me, which is something that I have discussed before. I don't worry that it's designed to be defective, or that there are licensing issues, or about the price, or any of the other, common complaints. I don't use it because it can't do anything I want, and as a result, I can ignore it with a clear conscience.
On the other hand, at work, there is no option. The office is strictly a Windows-only zone, for better or for worse, and I am neither inclined nor obligated to reroute that trend. From my perspective, using Windows is a conscious choice these days, and if an office chooses to ally with Redmond, they do so with full knowledge aforethought that there are options.
And now I have an option too. I tried Portable Ubuntu for Windows today, during a few hours' break from my weekly grind. This is the culprit, running on a fresh installation of Windows XP.
I'm impressed, really. I did a quick swing past a Windows-Linux hybrid last year, and while it was interesting, I didn't think it was very useful, for me. On the other hand, this one might be worth buying a cheap USB drive and keeping.
Everything looks and behaves like a shoehorned version of Gnome Ubuntu, riding shotgun to a normal WinXP desktop. True, that top central panel thing isn't really Ubuntu canon (that was a pun 🙄 ), but the idea is there, and it behaves just like the Gnome menu cluster.
By default, the 450Mb .exe download comes with a slightly different variety of software too — Abiword and Gnumeric over the entire OpenOffice tumor, for example. Which is what I would prefer, really: OpenOffice is far too fat for my liking.
There are some other little differences. This is built on Hardy Heron, so some of the newer bells and whistles you might be used to from Ibex and up might not be in there. And don't charge into this thinking you're going to spin your Windows 98 desktop like a cube. That preconception has "fail" written all over it.
But it does act and behave identical to a full system. You can adjust the repositories (they're preset to Argentina 😐 ), download updates, install new software, adjust themes or whatever, just like you would expect in a full Ubuntu system.
Except it's not, and that's kind of obvious in other ways too. Some core Linux thingies don't behave the same — you can't, for example, expect to find an ext2 modular drive that's plugged into the system, and mount it like a normal Ubuntu system could. Oh well, I can't have it all, can I? 😦
But this is definitely a keeper for me, and I've already recommended it to a couple of people that I know either rely on Windows machines from time to time, or dual boot for the odd Windows program. Because after all, there's not much difference between this and Wine, it's just that the tables are turned: Instead of relying on an interpretation layer to handle Windows applications, you're relying on a collection of software that is built to run along with the Windows core.
And for what I've seen thus far, it might, in some cases, be preferable to use this instead of Wine. I know of a couple of old games which just don't ever seem to work for me in Wine, but behave fine against a basic XP installation. I can use those in XP if I want, and rely on the rest of Portable Ubuntu to assuage my conscience over licensing and ethics concerns.
But that's enough postulation. I plan on keeping this around mostly for use at work (provided, of course, that it behaves as well with Vista … but that might be asking too much 🙄 ), so I have access to applications I prefer without installing them fully. And that's what it's all about, really: Use the things you prefer, without feeling hemmed in by anyone — free software zealot or corporate lawyer. 😉

This makes it so the player will take damage if they are above/standing on that polygon, killing them in a short amount of time. This isn't the best method, though, and I'd recommend instead using RyokoTK's method:
- Code: Select all

if p.z < -3.00 and not p.dead then
Just replace "-3.00" with the appropriate height in WUs. Suffocation is the best kind of damage to use, as it doesn't cause a flash on the screen, and the sound it makes is kind of fun (though it is a little weird as well).
Is there a script to do that? or I must make it from scratch?

I realized in a calm moment, post-whirl, that this year I'll call it Re-New Year, to embrace the renewals, reflections and changes that are inevitable as the year turns another page, and make it count.
4 Steps to Getting the Life You Want in the New Year
1. Re-evaluateThis is really the biggest starting point to discovering the path for your life in the new year, to re-evaluate what you are currently doing. Ask yourself, "Is what I'm doing making me happy?", "Are the things I'm doing bringing me where I want to go?", "What isn't working and how can I change or get rid of it?", "What do I really want out of life?"
One of my favorite quotes about finding joy and success is from Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul, who said, "You don't want to get to the top of the ladder and find out it's been leaning against the wrong wall."
Re-evaluate what you want and how you currently feel versus how you want to feel. If something isn't bringing you some sort of joy and fulfillment along the way, you may be setting your sights in the wrong direction. Look at the areas of your life that are important to you, like family, marriage, home and work. Take the time to think about what you really want out of each area of your life, whether you're getting the fulfillment and happiness you are seeking, and if your ladder is up against the right wall.
2. Re-organizeThis is actually a fun one for me. I don't know whether my intense desire to re-decorate, de-clutter and re-organize is driven by the covers of every published magazine from A-Z, or my extreme lack of sunshine at this time of year (thank you Seattle) that makes me want to throw everything out and redecorate in beachy tones.
Re-organizing is the lead-in to re-newal in so many ways. A fresh start. A clean slate (literally and figuratively). An organized home allows for an organized mind. Change spaces to allow for more efficiency, move things around to give you a fresh view.
But re-organizing isn't just the tangibles. De-cluttering your mind and how you spend your time is a huge part of re-organizing your life. Clean up, clear out and open your inspirational portal.
3. Re-commitThis is #3 for a reason. It's hard to find that place inside your head, heart and soul, to re-commit to things you haven't re-evaluated and gotten straight and "organized" in your mind. After you've been able to think through what you want for yourself and your family, you can decide what really counts and what you really want to commit to. And mean it.
This step is where many new year's resolutions fall flat. Are we really committing ourselves to something or are we just hoping we'll commit? When you take the time to really commit to the things you care about, you're only one step away from making them happen. (see #4)
4. Re-startThe beauty of a new year, a new age, an anniversary, or other landmark, is that it brings you to the place where change can begin. This is the most empowering step after re-committing to what you want, because it's the time to take action. You can think of change all you want, but actually moving forward on those desires and starting, is an active choice. It can be scary, exciting, risky, empowering or all of the above. It's your chance to re-new your life. To make it what you want it to be. To embrace new challenges or let go of old ones.
This chance to re-start your life, right where you are, is the magic of the New Year. Now go get it.

text: With Cesena – performed at dawn in the Cour d'Honneur in Avignon in 2011 – Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker continues her exploration of the Ars Subtilior, which began with her previous creation En Atendant. Her work with the graindelavoix vocal ensemble displays the emotional expressiveness of this complex polyphonic movement which emerged in the papal court during the 14th century. The collaboration with Björn Schmelzer and his ensemble has led to a merging between singers and dancers who exchange movements and voices, joining in a single fragile humanity. Cesena opts for the same theatrical sobriety as En Atendant and produces graceful virtuosity without artifice. On this occasion, these two echoing works will once again find the natural lighting which presided over their premieres, in the setting of Villers-la-Ville Abbey.

Upon hearing that E! quickly turned footage of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries' crumbling marriage into a new season of Kim And Kourtney Take New York, I was half disgusted, half excited to see these terrible people get what was coming to them. And while watching last night's season premiere, I learned a valuable lesson: you should really get to know someone before tying the knot.
The clips selected above highlight some of the obvious conflicts in the marriage: Sharing space for the first time, keeping that space tidy, being considerate of one another, living with another couple and their baby. But we also discover that while Kris Humphries is not cut out for the spotlight. He might have thought he was cool with Kim's lifestyle, but he clearly despises the reality of it. In the episode, Kris and Kim attend a huge party in their honor. Kris doesn't want to pose for photos. He doesn't want to do press interviews. He doesn't want to cut the stupid cake that's at the party for no apparent reason. He doesn't want to do anything, really, except leave, which Kim can't seem to wrap her head around. "You gotta do more with me! Just 15 more minutes" Kim pleads, and later says "this is so embarrassing" because "it's important that Kris is a part of this [press], this is for us." By the end of this first episode, Kris has moved out of the Kardashian penthouse in New York and back to Minnesota to "train" for an NBA season that we all know hasn't happened yet. Didn't Momager Kris give Husband Kris a talking-to regarding the reality of the Kardashian reality-TV world?

To further enhance the contribution RAS can make to rural livelihoods, it is essential to monitor and evaluate RAS achievements within complex rural settings, and to engage in a lesson learning process with a wide range of stakeholders and organisations. Therefore GFRAS is engaged in collecting and sharing knowledge and tools for monitoring and evaluation.
The main part of the evaluation initiative is the assessment the effects of reform efforts in agricultural extension and rural advisory services (RAS) over the past 15-20 years to understand and explain whether and how these efforts have succeeded in promoting the intended improvements. The findings will inform and advance extension practice worldwide and help to guide future investments. Outputs will include country-level reports and policy briefs.
The concept has been discussed since 2011. In 2012, a consulting team undertook an inception phase study to consult with key stakeholders on the methodology of the project; hold start-up meeting(s) and workshop; map on-going initiatives and interest; conduct preliminary evaluation design; conduct field visits; and recommend country case studies.
Following the inception phase report, an international reference group (IRG) was formed to make the initiative more demand-driven and link better to the regions. The report also recommended the formation of country reference groups to guide the study at the local level. Finally, the report recommended starting in two countries (Malawi and Brazil) rather than one for the first phase of implementation.
Due to availability of funding, only one country (Brazil) was selected by the international reference group. Terms of reference were sent out and a team was selected for the Brazil evaluation, which started in May 2013.
The GFRAS secretariat and IRG will continue to attempt to expand the study to other interested regions and countries and search for financial support. The evaluation initiative and the IRG will continue over a period of the next few years.
The evaluation initiative will be linked with the GFRAS "Global Good Practices Initiative," which will identify and analyse good practices across five RAS dimensions (governance structures, policy, capacity and management, advisory methods, and cross-cutting issues). Using a typology based on RAS themes in different country contexts (socio-economic, political, organisational, and ecological), the initiative will systematically document cases of RAS provision to see what approaches worked where and why. It will provide decision support tools to RAS managers, RAS practitioners, educators and trainers, policy makers, and international development institutions.

VodkaFish brauchte ein neues Website Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 49 Designs von 18 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Looking for a clean, simple layout that resembles "website" as much as "blog".
MMA on Tap
Desired Color Scheme:
logo colors, whites and grays, contrast between link and text
Desired Style:
clean, simple, modern
Accepted File Formats:
Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
This is for MMA on Tap.
MMA on Tap is a mixed martial arts website. It's currently a blog, but we're expanding on content and features and it needs to look more like a full website than just a blog.
We have a logo.
Colors: We don't need all the black and red, but we are looking to keep the dark gray font on white for text reading, and many do like the red color for links. Grays, and anything else that might match the logo is welcome.
Layout: Fixed width. We're looking to expand to a fixed with of 990px. We welcome 2 and 3 column layouts. The first 2 columns of a 3 column layout should be 770px max wide.
Menu: We like keeping our main options on a horizontal menu.
Inspiration: We run hockeyfights.com. We don't mind if it looks similar, as we like it. We'd like more color, but as MMA on Tap has photos with many posts, it takes care of a lot.
What we'd like tweaked while you're there: we'd like the byline, date and comments to be under the title, as opposed to the end of the article/posting. The trackbacks link will not be on each post from the index any longer.
What we're looking to see: A sample home page. It doesn't have to be 10 posts long, just a few for effect, and then whatever you choose to do with the sidebar column. However - we need a comment design as well. The same information is going to be displayed (plus a possible member icon if the commenter is a member). We'd like to give any comment from a writer a bit of a highlight as well.

Flights to Kuwait with Qatar Airways
Kuwait attracts not just leisure visitors but thousands of business travellers too, thanks to its wealthy, oil-based economy. The country has embraced change and has plenty to offer travellers keen to experience an authentic Arabian way of life. Tradition goes hand-in-hand with progress in Kuwait, creating a vibrant, dynamic atmosphere. Travel to Kuwait with Qatar Airways and explore a rich and largely pristine aspect of Arabian lifestyle.
Kuwait possesses many excellent cultural attractions for the visitor and remains, as it always was, an oasis in the midst of great expanses of desert. This juxtaposition of sandy wastes and high culture, as well as attractions such as the famous souk and Corniche, museums, galleries and fine restaurants, all help make Kuwait a multi-faceted jewel of a destination.
If you're interested in exploring some of Kuwait's past, head first for the historic district in Kuwait City and visit the Dar al Funoon Art Gallery and take a walk across the old city walls. The Bait al-Othman Museum is also worth a visit for a glimpse of the country's old exploits. Alternatively, stay in the 21st century and drop in to the ultra-modern Kuwait Scientific Centre with its museum and IMAX cinema.
Outside of Kuwait City itself there are several other interesting areas to explore, such as the Farwaniyah port area just outside the city. For the best beaches, head for Salmiya, about a 15-minute drive from Kuwait City. Here, you'll find some great and uncrowded locations, as well as some high-end residential developments. Failaka Island is popular for its mild climate in springtime, and offers a range of outdoor activities such as fishing, sailing and swimming. Fly to Kuwait with Qatar Airways and you'll discover a great destination in the Gulf area.

Safe in the city
Collision tests. Barrier tests. Head impact tests. The Volvo FL has passed them all. Probably the toughest cab in its class, it comes with a range of safety features that help keep you safe if an accident does happen.
Sit back. Strap in. Stay safe
The reinforced seat and seat anchoring minimise forward movement in an accident. The redesigned neck support keeps your head still and well protected. And the integrated seatbelt protects you with first-class impact resistance. With your safety sorted, all that's left is to choose your seatbelt colour – black or hard-to-miss red?
Double strength
The entire Volvo FL cab has been reinforced with 31 kilos of extra steel to protect you if you're involved in an accident. To reduce the risk of injury in a collision, there are no sharp edges on the dashboard, steering wheel and controls.
Enhanced visibility
See everything with the large windshield. Adjust your view with the electronically or manually controlled exterior mirrors. Navigate narrow streets easily with additional side windows. And keep an eye on your cargo through the rear-view window.
Three-piece bumper
Steel corners give the bumper outstanding impact resistance, reducing damage risk and repair costs. And if you have an accident, the separate pieces isolate the impact, so you only have to replace the damaged sections.
A secure system
A comprehensive remote-controlled alarm system helps keep the Volvo FL safe. Easily activated if unwelcome guests try to open the doors or disturb the vehicle, it offers you peace of mind when you're away from the truck.
Optional safety extras
Need heated exterior mirrors? A first aid kit? Or protective windscreen tint? We can equip your Volvo FL with any safety extras you need.

Shoe is a show stopper
My usual Fluevog is 9.5 but I went to 10.5 because I was concerned about size. I had bought a similar Flog shoe that had run small and glad I did. I might have been able to go with a 10 as there is a small gap in the back of the heel — BUT this shoe design is so comfortable and holds your feet into the shoe nice and tight. No blisters — not even on day one — and comfortable for your average work day or event. So my advice: order at least one size up from standard street size or at least half size up from your standard Flogq size.
Now I just have to save up to buy the same pair in copper....
Poser Shiloh
I ordered them online and they were shipped to me from the Denver store. I had requested "no delivery signature required" option and unfortunately when I got my tracking notice, it had a delivery signature required. I tried to get that changed but was told by the Denver store it could not be changed. Unfortunately I have to work to support my shoe addiction and wasn't home when UPS attempted delivery. UPS then sent the shoes to one of their acces point stations. If not familiar, they look like the old time lockers one would find in airports, bus stations, etc..This particular access point is located in a sketchy area of town and when the UPS driver placed my shoes in the access point locker, the locker malfunctioned and the driver was unable to complete the transaction. When I went to retrieve my shoes, UPS had no record of them being placed in the access point and I went through 4 days of hell trying to get UPS to locate my shoes.

Cape Coral welcomed the first baby of 2012 at 5:46 p.m., on New Year's Day, a happy and healthy little girl named Carly Deroache.
It's the second child for Corey Deroache, 23, and Ariana Brown, 21, of North Fort Myers. They also have a son, Cameron Deroache, who is 2 years old.

Michael Pistella
Ariana Brown and Cory Deroach with their newborn baby Carly. Carly was the first baby born at Cape Coral Hospital in 2012.
Carly weighed 6 pounds, 4 ounces when she was born.
"She looked perfect and beautiful," Brown said. "And she's perfect for us."
Brown is a Cape Coral native, while Deroache was born in Pennsylvania.
Neither were expecting to have another child, but news of Carly's arrival was a blessing, Brown said.
The family of four plans on staying in North Fort Myers, which means that both Cameron and his new baby sister Carly will be both born and raised in Southwest Florida.
Brown said Cameron was having a little trouble adjusting to the presence of his new baby sister, but all that will work itself out in time, she said.
"He likes her but doesn't know how to take her," she said. "He doesn't know how to handle my attention being focused completely on her."
Going through labor was a lot easier this time, Brown said. The pain was the same, of course, but she knew what to expect going in.
Doctors were going to induce labor Jan. 4, but nature took it course and Brown went into labor around 5 a.m. on New Year's Day. She was in labor for 12 hours.
"I had a feeling it was going to happen before the fourth," she said. "I handled the pain a lot better but I still didn't do very well."
Mother and daughter were home from Cape Coral Monday night and mom was pretty exhausted. A quick check-up sent the family back to the hospital on Tuesday, but Carly is healthy and ready to start growing up.
"She's perfect," Brown reiterated.

Lymphedema Prevention and Management
Lymphedema occurs when a clear fluid known as lymphatic fluid builds up in the soft tissues of your body, usually in an arm or leg. The most common causes of secondary lymphedema are surgery or radiation treatment for certain types of cancer, such as breast and testicular cancers. At TMC, we have certified specialists for treatment of lymphedema massage and wrapping. Patients receiving therapy learn to manage lymphedema on their own. Our therapists provide patient education about lymphedema treatment and demonstrations to the family to ensure ongoing home therapy.
Vestibular/Balance Program
Dizziness is the third most common complaint made to physicians. Each year more than two million people visit a doctor for dizziness. At TMC, we have a physical therapist that has been specially trained and certified in treating dizziness. Vestibular and Balance Rehabilitation Therapy (VBRT) has been shown to improve balance, decrease risk of falling, improve vision and in some cases, can help eliminate your dizziness altogether. Patients will be assessed on muscle strength, visual, balance and sensory function. Treatment may include the following:
- Head positioning maneuvers
- Exercises to help your vision
- Exercises to help your balance
- Extensive education
Wound Care
Wounds that don't heal can become infected, spread and become painful. At TMC, certified wound care specialists offer treatment for a minor burns, pressure ulcers, diabetic and venous stasis ulcers.
Certified Hand Therapist
Hand therapy helps a patient regain maximum use of his or her hand after injury, surgery or the onset of disease. At TMC, the goal in treatment is to return patients back to optimal function in their daily lives of work, leisure and self-care. Our certified hand therapists teach exercises and create custom splints to help the hand heal and protect it from additional injury.

RTC Live: ACC Finals – Duke vs. Georgia TechPosted by rtmsf on March 14th, 2010
The 2010 ACC Tournament has been, well, odd. Who would have believed that 7th seeded Georgia Tech, 11th seeded NC State, and 12th seeded Miami would have joined top seeded Duke in the semifinals? Guess what? It happened. All that aside, things may balance out in the end as Duke will be a heavy favorite over a fatigued Georgia Tech team in today's championship game. Becoming only the third ACC team to play four games in four days (see NC State in 1997 and 2007, both losses to Duke), Georgia Tech will attempt to become the first to bring home a championship. Also, Paul Hewitt is attempting to become the first African-American coach to win the ACC Tournament. No easy task against a Duke team that has become accustomed to playing on championship Sunday, as they have won eight of the last eleven titles. Join us here at Rush the Court to see if they can it make nine of twelve, or if Georgia Tech can add their fourth ACC crown at Duke's expense.

Ludogorets out in second qualifying round as APOEL, Malmo advance
Ludogorets Razgrad's Champions League dreams came to an early end on Tuesday as they bounced out of the competition in the second qualifying round, one year after they put a scare into Liverpool in the group stage.
The Bulgarian champions lost 2-1 to Milsami of Moldova, falling 3-1 on aggregate.
Wanderson opened the scoring to level the tie in the 27th minute, buut Milsami responded a minute later, and despite a second-half red card to Andrei Cojocari, the hosts found a winner late on through Petru...

A Valentine's Day Book Review
Happy Valentine's Day! And now, a book review about love:
Book critic, William Deresiewicz, in The New York Times, wrote that Jeffrey Eugenides' The Marriage Plot was not about marriage, or even love at all, but like his other novels, was primarily about "the drama of coming of age." This review was laced with acidic undertones of condescension and a just-below-the-surface but obvious dislike of most of Eugenides' work. As an aside, I am never completely smitten with an author's work. There is always something about it that I don't like. You don't spend your life criticizing the written word and retain the ability to turn that off. Regardless, I will never write a negative book review. I don't believe it is helpful to anyone, least of all the author. If I really looked down upon that author's work, my agenda would be better served to keep mum about the author altogether. The worst review is no review, in my mind.
Anyway, Deresiewicz's interpretation of this novel was precisely my own…at first. I felt exactly the same way. I'd listened to the audio performance, and after the last words, I looked around at the NJ Turnpike and thought, and? On the surface, this novel is about a trio of college kids who graduate and then try and figure out life, love and opportunity. Nothing actually comes to pass. Nobody appears to make any sort of satisfying transformation. In fact, nobody gets what they want, either. Then, sitting in traffic, I listened to a short, accompanying interview with Eugenides, which I thought would shed some light on what he was trying to do with The Marriage Plot. It ended by the time traffic started moving, leaving the novel unilluminated. I lit a cigarette and wrote off Eugenides, deciding not to read the next book he publishes a decade from now (he writes a book every ten years or so.)
Never before have I found the aftertaste of a novel to be more powerful than the novel itself. In the days that followed my reading of The Marriage Plot, the novel sank into my brain like a slow wave of awareness overcoming me. Bits of it would return and smack me in the face as I looked at love and life around me. Deresiewicz entirely missed the point. This was not a novel about young people finding their way in the world, it was a novel about the consequentiality of love in our time. The marriage plot refers to the structure of a Victorian novel in which marriage was the be-all and end-all. The finality of marriage in that time was what made it so important and so dramatic and so weighty for the characters to get married or to pursue that. It was the ultimate goal of love, a move to secure financial goals, societal goals and familial expectations. The love itself was really sort of secondary. Now, Eugenides subtly but brilliantly asserts in his novel, the consequentiality of our love is not what we do with it, but what it does to us. With marriage stripped of its weight, becoming a sort of romantic, knee-jerk impulse or a strategic financial move, love takes on a life and weight of its own. While love was once a vehicle used to travel to marriage, it is now a vehicle to travel to transformation, which is not a destination or an end-goal at all, but an on-going journey. It's about the journey, not really where you end up, which is why in Eugenides' novel, nobody ends up anywhere. They continue their journey.
The novel's female character, Madeleine, is stifled by her love. She becomes an in-service, overshadowed mistress to her boyfriend, Leonard, who has a significant mental illness. She's intelligent and beautiful and could probably have any man she wants, yet because she loves Leonard, she installs herself under the crushing weight of the man and his illness. Leonard himself appears to be perfectly healthy in the beginning of the novel, but when he falls in love with Madeleine and realizes that this has an actual affect on him—it changes his behavior, his thoughts, his motivations, his life—he falls into his mental illness and appears to swim about helplessly and almost indulgently in the throes of it, Madeleine's service to him only bolstering and enabling that illness.
The third character, Mitchell, spends almost the entire novel in love with Madeleine. The very idea of her motivates him to travel around the world, to alter his perception of people and of life and love, and then at the very end, because love is no longer locked into the finality of marriage or the weight of that institution, this changes for Mitchell and, now motivated by the love he used to feel for Madeleine, his journey takes a turn and continues.
The Marriage Plot was a powerful snapshot of what has happened to love, or rather its impact, and the author makes no definite comment about the consequences of that. Like a poet, he seems to prefer to leave his assertions up to interpretation. Its impact still hits me sometimes, as I recall a phrase or a situation and apply it to my own life or those around me.
In the novel, Leonard is a scientist studying yeast cells, which are interesting because they closely resemble human sex cells. During a heated argument with Madeleine, he makes the observation that these yeast cells, when in crisis, immediately separate as a matter of course because it is easier to protect themselves as single cells in the face of crisis. I would have paid full cover price just to let Eugenides drop this one exquisite metaphor on me.

text: Expect crazy volatility to continue. But if you can hang on, you should be rewarded. By Steven Goldberg, Contributing Columnist March 27, 2012 China's economic juggernaut is clearly losing steam, beset by soaring energy and labor costs, horrible pollution, and, most important, weakening demand from Europe. Localized real estate and investment bubbles, meanwhile, threaten to erupt into bigger problems.SEE ALSO: Our Special Report on How to Prosper in Emerging Markets Against that gloomy backdrop, the MSCI China index has climbed 9.4% so far this year. The broader MSCI Emerging Markets index has done even better, jumping 14.4% year-to-date (all returns in this article are through March 26 unless otherwise noted). That comes on the heels of an awful year for emerging-markets stocks, which lost 18.2% in 2011. Still, over the past ten years, the emerging-markets index has returned an impressive 14.6% annualized. Sponsored Content It's impossible to know which way emerging-markets stocks will lurch from month to month or year to year. What's worse, they're the most volatile segment of the world's stock markets. But they're simply too promising for long-term investors to ignore. Economies in emerging nations are growing much faster than those in developed lands, and there's little to suggest that this trend will reverse in the coming years. Advertisement But invest with your eyes open. Rapid economic growth of the kind most analysts expect in emerging markets hardly guarantees stock market gains. As counterintuitive as it sounds, growth in gross domestic product is often unrelated to shareholder returns. Consider China. It's rife with corruption. Corporate executives often view shareholders as victims to be fleeced. The Chinese government -- with an agenda often at odds with that of investors -- is the biggest owner of many companies. Regulation is far more lax than in developed countries. Financial reports are inadequate, at best. But look at the pluses. Most important: Emerging-markets stocks are cheap. As measured by the MSCI index, emerging-markets stocks trade at 11 times analysts' estimated earnings for the coming 12 months. By contrast, Standard & Poor's 500-stock index trades at about 13 times estimates, and the S&P's average price-earnings ratio over the long term is about 15.5. In terms of price to book value (assets minus liabilities), the MSCI Emerging Markets index trades at a reasonable level -- 1.6 times book. The index trades at less than one times sales, which is dirt-cheap. Finally, the index's return on equity (a measure of profitability) is 21, just a shade less than the S&P 500's return of 23. Advertisement Emerging markets, for the most part, are in better fiscal shape than the U.S. and other developed countries. Low labor costs and favorable demographic trends also argue strongly in favor of emerging markets. Populations are aging in the U.S., Japan and Western Europe; that's not so in developing nations. What to Buy? I despair of finding good, actively managed, no-load emerging-markets stock funds. My favorite is an index fund, Vanguard Emerging Markets Index (symbol VEIEX), with an expense ratio of just 0.33%. Better still, buy the ETF version of this fund (VWO), which charges just 0.20% annually. I suspect that brokerages in emerging markets do substantially more cheating than those in developed countries. And the costs of trading are generally far higher in emerging markets, even if you assume brokers are honest. Those two factors make it more expensive for actively managed emerging-markets funds to buy and sell stocks. That gives index funds, which rarely trade, a big advantage. One actively managed fund, Matthews Asia Dividend (MAPIX), does impress me. As is the case in the U.S., paying out dividends is a superb sign that corporate executives care about shareholder interests. The Matthews fund invests solely in dividend-paying stocks. About half its assets are in emerging Asia; most of the rest are in developed Asia, including Japan. Returns, particularly in lousy markets, have been impressive. Advertisement WisdomTree Emerging Markets Equity Income ETF (DEM) is another intriguing fund. It holds 285 of the highest-dividend-yielding emerging-markets stocks. The stocks are weighted according to their dividend payouts. The fund's volatility is lower than that of the MSCI index, and, indeed, it lost less than the index both in the 2007-09 bear market and during the 2011 downturn (from May 2 to November 25 the fund lost 21.9%, compared with a loss of 25.4% for the EAFE index). WisdomTree's fat dividends -- the fund sports a current yield of 6.5% -- helped cushion the blow of last year's decline. Steven T. Goldberg is an investment adviser in the Washington, D.C. area.

This interactive tool measures your readiness to quit smoking. The tool
uses the stages-of-change approach, which is based on research about how people
typically make behavior changes. The approach suggests that to make positive
change, people must go through distinct stages from not thinking about quitting
to actually quitting. Based on your answers, this tool will identify the stage
you are in and help you think about what to do next.
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
Your score will appear as
one of the following:
Quitting smoking, like most major
lifestyle changes, is a process. Understanding where you fall in this
process—your current stage of change—will help you and your doctor find the
right strategy. The best way to stop smoking is to get help and to follow a plan.
You can increase your chances of
quitting by using medicines, such bupropion (Zyban) or varenicline (Chantix). Or you can use nicotine replacement therapy (gum, lozenges,
patches, nasal sprays, or inhalers). Counseling (by phone, group, or one-on-one) can also help. And
using both medicines and counseling works even better.

Thriller Live – CANCELLED
Time Out says
Solid gold hits light up this loosely-plotted celebration of all things Jackson
Due to the coronavirus outbreak, 'Thriller Live' has concluded its length West End run, which was already due to end April 26.
Step inside the Lyric foyer and you'll be greeted by a gleaming Michael Jackson memorial. Enter the auditorium and you'll find another in 'Thriller', a shining homage to The King of Pop. This is a sparkling, singing and shimmying conveyor belt of more than 30 of Jackson's greatest hits. It's a bit like watching an extended episode of 'The X Factor' – except the performers are actually very good and they've all picked Jacko.
What really hits home in this jubilant jukebox show, which recently celebrated its thousandth performance, is the range of repertoire available. 'Thriller' is a reminder of Michael Jackson's versatility and the unique gloss he lent to pop, rock, dance and even the ballad. 'Heal the World' is crooned by a throng of suitably seraphic kids, 'Beat It' is blasted into the gods and a silver-gloved groover glides majestically through 'Smooth Criminal'.
The show, held together by the loosest of narratives, begins with a selection of Jackson 5 numbers. These earlier songs are among the best of the night: pure, funky, relatively simple and uniformly upbeat. Salient facts are flashed furiously across the screens (750 million records sold worldwide!) and the show segues into Jackson's solo career.
Some of these later songs are terrifyingly idiosyncratic – made and moulded for the man himself – and the lead vocalists struggle with the quirkier numbers, such as 'Jam' and 'Dirty Diana'. But it is the dancing that dazzles, no more so than Michael Duke's confident and witty take on 'Thriller' and 'Smooth Criminal'. He slides his way through the tough choreography with bolshy ease, drawing huge cheers for the inevitable but inspirational moonwalk.
It is one small step, at least, towards remembering the man who ventured into uncharted musical terrain.
This review of 'Thriller Live' is from June 2011. The current London cast of 'Thriller Live' stars Haydon Eshun (former lead singer of '90s boy band Ultimate Kaos, who were hailed as the new Jackson 5), alongside Alex Ko, John Moabi, Angelica Allen, Dajiow, and Stefan Sinclair.

I went to see Thriller at The Lyric seated in row BB in the middle.Hence I was very close to the stage.When the show started with the opening songs and frantic dancing I thought Wow these are very good singers....A few songs later I thought I feel there is something wrong here...then BAM it hit me: For most of the songs the singers are miming or what is otherwise known as lip-syncing to pre-recorded songs and music. Not every song, a few slow numbers I think were live but the bulk of the songs are miming.By the interval my shock had turn to anger as I paid for 2 tickets at around £100 each.For this money I expect live singers.I left at the interval feeling ripped-off.
I was so disappointed with this show, I'm not sure what I was expecting but it certainly wasn't this! It starts with a few Jackson 5 hits sung by 3 guys and 1 woman. The singers are good as are the dancers but I found the whole show very confusing. I couldn't understand why there were various people singing the part of MJ, it was quite odd. When MJ was on stage he looked great and the dancing was brilliant but he didn't sing.
The staging was really bad too, non existent really. It wa like watching a MJ tribute band, no real storyline and quite amateur. It's a shame as the singers and dancers were very good it just didn't work as a production.
Saturday 27 May 2017.
Very disappointing. Would not recommend anyone to see this show. If you want to close your eyes for a good few hours & listen to Michael Jackson then fine. However, if you want to see a tribute to Michael Jackson then don't bother. Why is there a woman imitating MJ when there are thousands of impersonators out there? Also during the song 'rocking robin' why did they show a video of one of the young performers when again there must be thousands of child impersonators that could be on the stage (I saw an excellent one in Motown a few months earlier).
And where were the understudies???? A few of the backing female dancers danced as if they wanted to be somewhere else. The three male MJ singers sang very well and the actual MJ impersonator was good and his dancing was excellent. It's just a shame he wasn't on the stage all the time. The cost did not justify the overall performance which was such a shame as this was my birthday present, I would accept a refund!
Worst Westend show I've ever seen. No storyline, awful dancing choreography, singers on Mallorca karaoke quality level (after a bucket of Sangria), women who can't walk in high heels pretending to be Michael Jackson and really, really bad acting. Michael Jackson must spin in his grave every night when watching low quality singing children pretending to be Jackson 5 and low quality dancer failing to do the moonwalk. Last not least, the stage is dirty, scratched and with cheap budget LED displays and extremely bad sound quality. A perfectionist like Michael Jackson would have NEVER allowed this to happen during his lifetime.
PS: Door staff at the entrance are extremely unfriendly, not helpful and not professional at all, treating audience like kettle rather than paying customers.
Utterly disappointing evening, almost disgusting... 😡😡😡
Appalling poor show in a run down theatre. This is without doubt the worst show I've gone to in thirty years of the west end. The actors or singers were poor and lack lustre at best. The venue itself was freezing cold with people having to put on coats in the middle of the show . It is also incredibly run down as a theatre. There are plenty of really good shows in the west end. With this one you get the feeling that it's there to get your money and then they don't care. My regret is not leaving at the interval when a load of others evidently did.
Don't waste your money with this show. For the same money you can get a much better experience in any other musical. In fact, this is not really a musical, there is no story line, no theater production and the "actors" talk to the audience because in reality, it's just a show with people dancing to the music of MJ, while some presenters tell you how many albums Thriller and Bad sold, as if MJ is only a cash cow and his artistic and innovative achievements are of no importance, only figures matter. TERRIBLE AND DISRESPECTFUL!! Small stage, cheap production, average singing and they take ages to pass through the J5 years to get to MJ solo career. It is super boring and unbearable really, you will walk out for sure (only children can enjoy this)
I'm sorry, but this is the worst musical I've ever been. There is no storytelling, the dancers are bad and the Michal Jackson cover is far from a Micharl Jackson cover. You have to be a fanatic for Jackson to enjoy this show, otherwise don't loose your time.
Singing and dancing was amazing but was like watching a mj tribute band, not worth the cost of the ticket at all!
My wife and I went to this show after receiving tickets as a present. As fans of Michael Jacksons music we loved it as the show covers all the classic songs you want to get up and dance along to. The story line isn't really there but for me, it didn't stop me enjoying it as the singing and music was excellent. Really impressed with the dancing. I would say half the audience was in to it and the other half sat there. I imagine if you went to a showing full of Jackson fans it would be an awesome experience. If you like the music, it is worth seeing this show.
Im not a Michael Jackson fan but my wife is so bought Tickets as a surprise on our recent trip to London
Fantastic show Good singers and Brilliant Dancers
Little MJ Probably star of the show all in all a great night
There is absolutely no storyline - the only good moments of this show are when you can laugh about incredibly akward moments. Most of it is just a constant facepalm though.
What a spectacular performance absolutely brilliant, the whole cast did a fabulous job, as for anyone who only rated one star must have had they eyes closed throughout!! It was a very enjoyable evening I would certainly recommend it, I would see it again. Yvonne. Aug 30th 2014
Superb, vibrant and so entertaining
Sorry but its a 3 out of 10 show.... Several members of the cast sing various Jackson songs. Annoying the worst singer (who is a young female) gets to sing the majority of the songs. A couple of the guys do good Jackson impersonations. Could not understand why the show was not based around them?? Young Michael is portrayed by a kid who I'm sorry to say was as poor as the ffemale mentioned above. The cast do get the crowd going with some good dance routines. Sorry but I wanted to leave after the interval but my wife made me stay...Sorry but I would not sit through this again. Even if you paid me £100
Very enjoyable, but the name musical doesn't really apply here. I would say it's more of a show and a thank you to Michael and his music. Still, very good night out and the audience really goes for it!
First class performance, first class show, if your having a theater w/k end, its a must
A fantastic performance from all performers and overall a great thrilling entertainment to watch! I highly recommend it to any MJ fans out there! :)
The musical exceed the expectation, a lot of interaction, the dancer were extremely well trained and the singers voices were great. I like the fact that the show was not trying to be Michael Jackson, but present his art on their own interpretation. It does bring memory on growing up listening to Michael. This show is a must if you are visiting or living in London.
The musical was very good in general. All the artists, dances and songs were amazing. What I found very nice was that they were trying to engage the audience as much as possible in the play. The only thing I didn't enjoy that much was simply that there wasn't any story in it but mostly dances and singing.
Good performances and nice atmosphere. Not any storyline or great scenery, Felt more like a tribute concert than a musical.
Brilliantly done!
Fulfilled by the energy and spirit of the legendary personality and songs that are alive in all of us in different degrees, the musical leads you through different emotions starting from the tears of the soul and finishing up with the joy of being a part of the musical event.
Absolutely brilliant!! Daughter, aged 8 totally enthralled with the whole experience and hasn't stopped practicing the dancing since. My other guest was delighted with the show, as it was all music they knew as a youngster. Loved the way the audience were encouraged to join in by the stars of the show.
Absolutely fabulous from start to finish. We attended mid-week and there was no hint of a dumbing down by the cast. Very enthusiastic dancing and spot of choreography. The singing was exceptional. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole show. Got us all dancing and clapping in the isles. Would recommend to anybody. Great show!
Great show! My family had a great time.
Fantastic! Thoroughly enjoyed the performance! Gave a real feel good factor. Brilliant performers! A must see for MJ fans!
We've been to this show twice... second time was the day we were supposed to see the King of Pop in flesh at the O2 Arena. So, of course it's not a big production, it's not MJ etc... but it is very nice to watch and certainly entertaining. If you're a MJ fan, you'll enjoy it, 100%.
We took our two sons to the show and I was initially sceptical, awaiting a poor storyline to which the songs were attached. I was very pleasantly surprised and realised there were several of MJ hits I had not heard for a while. What was good was that the songs were about 3-4 minutes and followed MJs recording career. The singing is good but the dancing is what really lifted this show. The dancers were very good and the choreography was well adapted to the stage where props were wheeled in and out. Expect to hear the greatest hits without a phoney story line and great dancing.
I would not recommend this musical. I am very disappointed by the bad performance of the actors, in terms of dancing and singing. Some of the singers did not even hit the right note and sang wrong. There is no real story in the musical, no emotions involved. It appears to be just a patchwork of some fragments of Jackson songs, some of them even played on playback. I personally rather recommend to watch the Billy Elliot Musical, that one is really good.
I saw the show today... Very disapointing. The dancers despite being individually good are not togher, the singers sing wrong...Would not recommend it personnaly.

CST recommends transfection with 100 nM γ-Catenin siRNA I (Mouse Specific) 48 to 72 hours prior to cell lysis. For transfection procedure, follow protocol provided by the transfection reagent manufacturer. Please feel free to contact CST with any questions on use.
Each vial contains the equivalent of 100 transfections, which corresponds to a final siRNA concentration of 100 nM per transfection in a 24-well plate with a total volume of 300 μl per well.
SignalSilence® siRNA is supplied in RNAse-free water. Aliquot and store at -20ºC.
SignalSilence® γ-Catenin siRNA I (Mouse Specific) from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) allows the researcher to specifically inhibit γ-catenin expression using RNA interference, a method whereby gene expression can be selectively silenced through the delivery of double stranded RNA molecules into the cell. All SignalSilence® siRNA products from CST are rigorously tested in-house and have been shown to reduce target protein expression by western analysis.
Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.
Also known as plakoglobin, γ-catenin is a member of the Armadillo family of signaling molecules, which includes β-catenin and the Drosophila protein armadillo (1). This family of proteins is involved in Wnt signaling, which is important in embryonic development and in tumorigenesis (2-3). Although the two vertebrate proteins β- and γ-catenin display sequence homology, γ-catenin likely plays a role distinct from that of β-catenin (1, 4-6). γ-catenin localizes to desmosomes and adherens junctions, both sites of intercellular adhesion, and interacts with the cytoplasmic domains of classical and desmosomal cadherins. Interaction of γ- or β-catenin with α-catenin, desmoplakin and other junction proteins provides a link between intercellular junctions and the actin and intermediate filament cytoskeleton. Maintenance and/or modification of this link is vital for control of cell adhesion and migration (1). γ-catenin is modified by phosphorylation, affecting both adhesion and β-catenin dependent transcription (7), and by and O-glycosylation, affecting adhesion (8). Recent evidence suggests that γ-catenin regulates desmosomal adhesion in response to growth factor stimulation (9).

Sept 3, 2015 12:47:49 GMT -6 Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by Admin on Sept 3, 2015 12:47:49 GMT -6 Northern Tier is the BSA's oldest national High Adventure program, outfitting scouting groups for canoe trips since the summer of 1923. The Charles L Sommers Base has been home to the program since 1941.North America's Canoe Country, a vast series of navigable lakes and rivers spanning thousands of square miles, is one of the last great wildernesses on the continent. This boreal forest of waterfalls and bogs, bears and wolves, granite crags and waist-deep mud remains nearly as much of a wilderness as it was for the first fur traders who explored the area in the 1600s. Two centuries after the fur trade's peak in the early 1800s, our participants still follow in the footsteps of the French-Canadian voyageurs, paddling the same waters and straining over the same portage trails.Northern Tier is the Boy Scouts of America's gateway to adventure in the Great Northwoods. In the Summer, scouts from Northern Tier's three wilderness canoe bases explore millions of acres of pristine lakes, meandering rivers, dense forests and wetlands in Northern Minnesota, Northwest Ontario and Northeast Manitoba. In the winter, Northern Tier is home to the OKPIK Cold-Weather Camping program, the BSA's premier winter high adventure program. Fall programming is also available.Whatever your plans, Northern Tier staff will outfit your crew with state-of-the-art camping equipment as well as a highly trained staff member called an "Interpreter."For additional information, see www.ntier.org.

Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
Hallaj's son made report of his father and spoke freely of his father's execution. God had revealed an attribute of himself to Hallaj, but Hallaj made it a boast. The Woolcarder had loosened the bonds of attachment to all things but himself. For this reason, God tested Hallaj with ridicule and torture and certainty of death. Even the friends of Hallaj and his disciples turned their backs on him. Did their betrayal torment him more even than the instruments his enemies used to mutilate him?
In a vision, the Woolcarder shone like the sun before me. He said, "You wonder at me. Why?"
I said, "Did you deserve the punishment you received? Were you angry that the order came from those who were once your friends?"
He said. "My execution was well deserved. I was not angry with my friends; not with Junayd who affirmed the order, nor Shebli who threw mud at me as they led me to the gibbet. They were my friends; they are my friends still. I embrace them. When they cut off my hands, I performed my ablutions with my own blood. When they hacked off my feet, I crawled before his throne. When they put out my eyes, I saw only His Face. When they cut out my tongue, His name was still upon my lips. When they cut off my head and burned me to ashes and scattered me to the winds, I loved God still. For this, He answered all my prayers. He loved me and I loved Him. He removed the veil of the world from my mutilated eyes. He fulfilled the promise I made when I cried out "I am the Truth" by utterly destroying me. I prophesied my union with Him and the people arose to punish my blasphemy; yet through their punishment, my prophecy and His promise came to pass."
These are the words Hallaj spoke to me. God forgive me for loving him.
– Da'ud Ibn Ibrahim al-Shawni, The End of Reason.
When Mansur al-Hallaj reached his utmost friendship with God, he became his own enemy and gave away his life. He said, "I am God," meaning, "I have passed away. God alone remains." This is extreme humility. Your saying "Thou art God, and I am Your servant," is arrogance, for you have affirmed your own existence, and created dualism, for until "I" exists "He" is impossible. Therefore it was God alone who said, "I am God," since Mansur had passed away."
– Rumi, From Discourse 52 of the Fihi Ma Fihi, Translated by A. J. Arberry.
Ya Haqq!

Rhonda Walker: 'I am a proud daddy's girl'
Dad is a great teacher, friend, confidant, cheerleader, role model
DETROIT – I am a confessed and proud daddy's girl and I have been my entire life. My father, Dr. Ronald Gillum just celebrated his 73rd birthday and I'm so thankful he is in great health and enjoying his retirement years with my mom, they so deserve it! I had an awesome, fun and memorable upbringing with my family because my parents are truly the best. They will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary next year!
My dad enjoys a round of golf everyday weather permitting and every Father's Day we golf together at a different Michigan golf course. It's one of my favorite days of the year and it's been our tradition for over 20 years! One of my fondest childhood memories is the patience he showed when teaching me how to play! Our best bonding moments are over a game of golf. Another fond memory, when I was little I went to church with my dad every Sunday because I loved being able to get any time with him just the two of us. He was a church deacon so my entire family didn't go every Sunday like my dad, so I figured out if I went with him, I'd get to have him all to myself. And that quality time was not isolated to the weekends, for two years until I got my drivers license my dad drove me to high school everyday. I wasn't very fond of the school bus, so he changed his work schedule to start work earlier just to take me to school. He spoiled me a ton but I swear I'm not rotten! My dad is a great teacher, friend, confidant, cheerleader and role model. He instilled in me a great work ethic, leadership skills, the importance of giving back to the community and to believe I can accomplish anything I set my mind to.
He is a very committed family man, always encouraging and supporting my brother, sister and me in every way growing up and still to this day. He was home for dinner with the family every night, attended all of our sporting and other school events and gave us incredible guidance, advice and structure through his great example of how he lives his life. My dad is so supportive of everything I do and is always there when I need him and even though I share him with my mom, 2 siblings and 7 grandchildren, we always have his full attention and he makes each of us feel like his #1. Dr. Ronald Gillum, my incredible father is truly the best dad you could possibly have, I only wish there were more of him, so that other kids could have the upbringing that I did. He is my biggest inspiration in life and still the person I work hard in my career, relationships and in the community to make proud!

Fallen airman honored at Arena
Friends, family, and public officials gathered at 1pm March 9 at the Main Street Arena in Charlottesville to remember the life of Greene County airman Zachary Cuddeback, who was murdered March 2 at the Frankfurt Airport in Germany. Cuddeback was a 21-year-old Airman First Class in the United States Air Force who died, along with another Airman, after an Albanian man described as a Muslim extremist fired shots at the servicemen in a bus.
Note: This caption was rewritten from the future to the past tense for the Hook's print edition, and for accuracy the word "airman" was substituted for the word "soldier" in the headline and other copy.

Fly Fight Win Zachary
God Bless and Thank You
This young man's loss in the service of his country is sadly mourned in our town today. Young people all over the world representing America are in danger of meeting a similar fate. War is no longer just being fought on battlefields with conventional weapons. May we all work to end wars and the hatred that fuels them. It was this hatred of America in a young man's heart that is reported in today's NYT to have motivated this attack.
The headline is inaccurate. Members of the Air Force aren't soldiers, they're airmen. Members of the Army are soldiers.
I thought this ugly monstrosity was called The Pavillion?
When did the name change to The Arena?
The Arena is on the opposite end of the mall, the former Ice Park. From what I've read, Airman Cuddeback was a hockey enthusiast and spent many hours at the Ice Park enjoying the sport he loved. God bless the memory of Zachary Cuddeback, a young many who was willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice for his country, and God bless those who love him.
Ahh, I see. Thanks. Wasn't aware of the name change.
(People I speak with in passing still call it the Ice Park)
I'm not surprised Nancy is a NYT devotee. Don't confuse yourself with the facts.
Nancy Drew must have some trouble with English, just like every bloated schmuck who thinks that enlistees are even remotely involved in defending this nation--she links to this:
"Mr. Uka told investigators that he had acted alone and that he had decided to carry out the attack after seeing a video on YouTube that apparently showed American soldiers raping a girl in Afghanistan."
ALL of the U.S's overseas occupations, bases, and corporate-driven installations are nothing more honorable than "nanny-state" make-work.
Maybe Westboro's onto something.
Like the new slogan...... "PORK.....Be Inspired!"
The global muslim population is estimated at 1.57 billion, maybe we should not listen so much to the racist teatards when electing the people who will determine whether or not our nation will continue this war.
TJ, if you're so wrapped up with what Muslims think, then why don't you move to Indonesia, Iran or Syria.
Those "teatards" will likely be the ones who save your sorry "libtard"@ss if Jihad ever officially comes to America.
The war needs to be fought to WIN, not to gain political credibility and popularity...
My heart is breaking for Zack's family - I can't imagine the sadness they feel. He apparently was a really fine young man and soldier. No one deserves this.
I will be hoping and praying for you.
Thanks for the correction. Cuddeback is still referred to as a "soldier" in the text.
So FF433 , who would make Jihad "official?" Are you so uninformed about Islam that you think there is Pope or something? Maybe an Office of Making Jihads Official?
Ever stop to count up how many Muslims have been killed in the past 3 decades as a direct result of American policies and military action? The numbers pretty clearly show that people like you are a far greater threat to the average Muslim than the average Muslim is to anyone else.
Yes, cookieJar, you're exactly right. We, miserable infidels that we are, should just lay down our arms, apologize profusely and convert to Islam. Those who are unwilling should simply prepare to be beheaded by practitioners of "The Religion Of Peace". You must also regret all the Germans and Japanese who died as a result of our aggression during WWII.
Not to mention the 19 Muslims who had to perish during their righteous acts on 9/11.

Open Letter to City Attorney McKinney Re West Berkeley Crime
Dear Ms. McKinney,
I have lived in West Berkeley for more than 18 years. I am proud of my neighborhood and have been active with my neighbors on many local projects over the years. I write you with deep gratitude for your work regarding the problems originating at 1722 Ninth Street, which is barely a block from my home.
As you know, the area has been subject to disturbing crime for years. Most of the crime originates with or involves several local properties. Everyone - residents and the Police - knows where the crime comes from. Drug houses, such as 1722 Ninth Street, and apartment buildings, such as 1011 Delaware and 1726 Tenth Street (and others), have been the primary sources of our problems. These properties have supported major drug dealing, prostitution and violent domestic situations on an ongoing rotating basis for decades. Each time something horrible happens there is a flurry of 'action'. Then everything quiets down only to return the same horrible problems once again.
Yesterday, people associated with the apartment building at 1011 Delaware Street endangered us for the second time in less than a year. Once again shots were fired. This time someone, highly suspected of drug and gang involvement, died. Thankfully, the bullets did not hit anyone else. Of course, these problems are not limited to West Berkeley - they are all over Berkeley.
We do not live in a ghetto. We do not want to live with the crime that evermore unfolds in front of our homes. This is too much, we are desperate. We cannot solve these problems by ourselves. Many are afraid to speak up for fear of retribution. Others are willing to step up to the task but are overwhelmed at the bewildering complexity of the problem and the City's tradition of inaction.
While I am very glad to hear of progress regarding 1722 Ninth Street, mostly at your behest, I remain profoundly alarmed at the ongoing problems that remain. Simply put - we need a broader approach to crime. Putting a finger in the dyke will not work. We need to address each problem property as a group, not piecemeal and partially from time to time.
It is time to act. Yesterday's death might well have been prevented if we had joined forces to fight crime at these properties months or years ago. What can we do? How can you and the City Attorney's office help us? We are beyond community meetings. We are looking for solutions, solutions that involve real and decisive actions against criminals and the owners of problem properties. Failure to punish those doing or supporting crime has to stop. I and my neighbors wait eagerly for any and all opportunity work with you, the Police and the City to defend our neighborhood.

NOT ENOUGH – New Music Video LIVE NOW0
June 21, 2018 by Val
WATCH ON YOUTUBE: Director/DP: Ricardo Kuettel Producer: Brenna MacPherson Editor: Scott Owsley Colorist: Dave Colonna Casting: Rhoda Gunn Male Lead: Andrew Hoilett ( @longlivedrew on instagram) I would like to personally thank THE PEOPLE OF SASKATCHEWAN, whom partially funded this video through their tax dollars, which were awarded to me in the form of a marketing grant through the current government funding body "Creative Saskatchewan". 50% of the costs for the video were funded by the grant award, and 50% was funded independently (by me!) I appreciate having that opportunity provided to me by my community, and work daily to do whatever I can to put my own energy or assistance that I can offer back into that same community, to ensure you are always seeing a return on your investment! I am a strong believer in the importance of funding for the Arts, as I believe that artistic creation is a resource and asset to our country, culture, and people, and something that has value and meaning beyond what may or may not hold monetary value within a commercial market place. Thank you again to all those I have received support from to continue making music! I hope …

I am just finishing hand quilting the log cabin that I took to Colorado while visiting my son. Had to have something to do while he was at work. Love the way it is turned out and have had it signed up for the quilt show in June. Have just one side of the border to finsih and then the binding which I have made with scraps. A picture when it is finished.
We are having a COLD spring. But at least have had enough warm to bring out the bulbs and he Dogwoods. Some of the little ones that we have protected after moving here are blooming. It's a good thing as the old one keeps loosing limbs during the winter and am afraid it is getting very old.
Hope some of you at least come back to read this. Will try to keep this going now since I have found the right buttons to get the pictures in.

The Mortadel necesitaba un nuevo diseño de banner publicitario y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 41 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
This billboard just needs to communicate to everybody that will be soon erected a four-story waterfront building. People must understand that they can buy right away some apartments out of this building. All of them will be upscale, have a stunning design and unique concept for the area and the best sea view of the area.
AT Home Srl
AT Home S.r.l.is a constructing Company that builds and sells apartments, buildings, real estate properties and so on. All its products are upscale and ritzy. In this peculiar case, AT Home must ad the real estate property that it is building in that it is building in that specific location, the area involved, and how the building will appear once it is done.
I need to have a billboard (size 3meters x 2meters). Here attached you can find a billboard we were using before
http://webgrapes.it/athome/Cartellone.ai or http://webgrapes.it/athome/Cartellone.pdf
By looking at it, you can understand how contructing billboard have been made so far. Anyway, you can feel free to send us something that will be different from that file, something new, and eye-catching. But, please do not ever forget what follows in the list below because it is mandatory to keep:
- Company logo (which must be enough big to be read from far away), here attached http://webgrapes.it/athome/athome.jpg and in illustrator http://webgrapes.it/athome/athome-AI-verCS2.ai- ther three pictures of this building, here attached : http://webgrapes.it/athome/Vista_1_blu.jpg and http://webgrapes.it/athome/Vista_2_blu.jpg http://webgrapes.it/athome/Vista_3_blu.jpg notice that those 3 photos show how the building will look once it will be completed. Each attached file will show you the project from a different point of view. You freely decide either to insert in the lay out all of 3 pictures here above attached or just part of them (1 or 2). we may go for the 3 of them but we are also curious to ponder on proposals that shows only some of them. we have to impress any potential customers. feel free to decide how to reach graphically this goal. - aerial picture of the area where the building will be located ( http://webgrapes.it/athome/Vista_aerea.jpg ). Please be advised taht this picture must be graphically emphasized in the billboard because people must get the idea that they can open their curtains in the morning and watch the sea waves while drinking their early coffe by their balcony...but only if they buy an apartemet from us and out of this specific building.- normal info in Italian Language (they must be enough big to be read by far away) Please paste what follows: first row "VENDE APPARTAMENTI DI PRESTIGIO CON VISTA MARE" second row "PER INFORMAZIONI: 335 6524074"5) http://www.athomeitalia.com we need to have it somewhere in the billboard because people interested in our apartment must be aware they can get first insight just from their pc while lying on their couch. They do not necessarily have to call just to be informed about it. They can start to surf the web site and then if quite inetersted in it they can go to the next step: calling us. So, web site address is quite a crucial information.
6) feel free to propose a tag line that can be always used for our Company. That sentence short and effective must communicate that our products are always valuable, respectful of environment (because equipped with i.e. solar panels), and high-tech equipped.

James Nesbitt's journey around Ireland continues with a stop off in the Wild West
Getting to know the locals
It's all action this week as Cold Feet star James Nesbitt hits the picturesque seaside town of Dingle in County Kerry. Dingle (or An Daingean in Irish – you're in the gaeltacht here) has been a tourist hotspot for many a year. The colourful village is dotted with snug pubs, restaurants and genuine Irish character. Being by the sea, they've also held fast to their maritime traditions. Local fisherman Jimmy Flannery explains to James Nesbitt, " It's a close knit community here so everyone looks after each other. When I left school there was nothing else but fishing. The sea is definitely in my blood, no doubt about it."
They call him…fungie…?
One of Dingle's main attractions is a local flippered-celebrity, by the name of Fungie the dolphin. Fungie is something of a Dingle institution; this friendly dolphin has been delighting visitors to Dingle for years. Jimmy Flannery runs daily boat trips out into Dingle Bay with eager tourists hoping to catch a glimpse of the bottle-nosed dolphin. If you're lucky, he'll launch himself into the Dingle air right beside you. Getting wet is a bonus.
Fun with Fungie
Not content to merely observe from the boat, James Nesbitt bravely dons a wet suit and jumps into the chilly waters in search of Fungie, " For your eyes only and in the name of human, dolphin relations, I'm going to brave the depths of Dingle Bay and swim with Fungie." Does James feel the chill in Dingle's waters? Wait and see.
The Love Trail!
Dried off and eager to see more of Ireland, Hobbit star James Nesbitt heads for County Clare to meet famed matchmaker Willie Daly. Willie's skill at bringing couples together is legendary and he's developed what he calls the Love Trail. Single people looking for love join Willie on a pony trekking trail through the beautiful County Clare. With hundreds of marriages under his belt, it's safe to say Willie's Love Trail works! He doesn't even need the most famous aphrodisiac – oysters. Mr Nesbitt, though, is keen for a taste.

Shucking in
Episode four of James Nesbitt's Ireland comes to a close with Nesbitt tucking (or should that be 'shucking') into some world-famous Galway Bay's finest. And wouldn't you know it, the crafty Jekyll star planned his visit to Galway just when they were in season! While in Galway, James Nesbitt hooks up with Michael Moran of Oyster Cottage who extols the beauty of the oyster, "These oysters are the best in the world. They are the Galway Flats and they take five to six years to grow. I'm excited!" Nesbitt was excited too going by the amount of oysters he gobbled.
Speaking of his adventures in episode four James Nesbitt says, " It's so beautiful. Just to be in such a gorgeous place with lovely people and a big dolphin, is very special indeed. I'd recommend it."
The next episode of James Nesbitt's Ireland will be transmitted on ITV on Monday 8 April at 8pm.

Mariah Carey Wears a Floor-Length Gown to the Playground With Her Kids [PHOTOS]by Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Just a few days after she donned a sparkly, sky-blue gown on the subway, Mariah Carey is at it again, rocking another floor-length frock in an unexpected place — this time, at the playground with her kids, Moroccan and Monroe.
Mimi took to Instagram yesterday (June 2), to share several photos from the outing with her 3-year-old twins — including one of her rocking a skin-tight, mermaid-style, powder-blue dress, complete with black heels and an inexplicable fingerless black glove. (Check out the photo above.) While the outfit may not have been suitable for the park ("Sinking into the rubber mats…lol," the singer captioned the pic), that didn't stop her from spending some quality time with Dem Babies, pushing the delighted 3-year-old cuties in the swings.
So, why exactly is the iconic singer wearing such a fancy ensemble to a New York City playground? Because she is Mariah … the Elusive Chanteuse.
Check out the sweet photos of Moroccan and Monroe playing on the swings below.
