Today is a different kind of post. Instead of baked goods or crafty creations, I invite you to get to know me a little better.
This weekend I had an opportunity to create a different "persona" if you will. I was invited on an annual pub crawl that my friend hosts. For this event we were asked to go "Incognito....Come As You Are Not" The plan was to dress in all black, wear wigs, sunglasses and any other fun accessory to make yourself different from your everyday self.
I had a blast with this! It has also inspired me to share a few things with my readers, an opportunity to "Get to Know Your Blogger". First up....a photo of what I look like....
Ten Things to Know About Me...
1) Yes, I am a natural red head (and yes, its all true what they say about us)
2) I've been decorating cakes/cookies for just over a year and a half. Not very long eh? I started by taking a class at Michael's, found a new love, and well, here we are.
3) I have a Bachelor's degree in Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management as well as a certificate in Meeting & Event Planning.
4) I photograph everything...without shame. For a long time I was afraid of "looking like a tourist" when I traveled. Or "looking like a dork" for photographing everything. Then I realized, hey, these are my memories and something I could pass on someday. To hell with what anyone else thinks. Tourist. Dork. Fine by me.
5) I love my dogs. Who knew I could feel this much love for a pet. My heart bursts thinking about them. And I admit, they aren't the best behaved...but we are working on that.
6) I cannot keep cream cheese in my fridge. It wont survive. Throw in a bag of pretzels and that's it. I have lost all self control.
7) I have actually grown to love winter. No, I am not giving up my right to whine and complain about it, but I do have this appreciation for living in an area that has all four seasons. I never thought I'd be that way, but somehow, it happened.
8) I am easily excited about everything. If I find a good idea, I get really excited. Must. Try. It. Now. Its hard to fight the urge to jump up and run to the store every day when I get my "Craft of the Day" emails from Martha Stewart. Reading blogs, are dangerous for this reason as well.
9) I love 80's music. I really should have been 21 during the 80s. My hair would have been amazing.
10) I asked my boyfriend to describe me for my last one, of course, he listed pretty much everything I have already written, but then says "You're like a Cadbury Cream Egg....kind of hard on the outside, but soft and sweet on the inside." Cadbury Cream Eggs are one of my most favorite candies. Maybe he is on to something....
Lastly, here is what I looked like this weekend, donning my alter-ego "The Black Widow"
Not bad eh? I don't think I'll be dying my hair black in real life, but who knew wigs could be so fun?!
That's all for this edition of "Get to Know Your Blogger". I'd love to get to know my readers! Post one great thing about yourself! Come on! Do it!

It's gotten to the point where I can't watch TV with my 12-year-old home anymore. The sexual content has been ratcheted up to the extreme. Talk about sex, sexual words, and sex acts are happening on TV all day and all night.
The other night, it was mentioned on a game show pertaining to people dating, "Baggage", that the man trying to get a date was the President of an orgy club. Then of course, this was written in bold letters shown for anyone watching to see.
My 12-year-old daughter innocently asked, what that was, and I had to say, "I absolutely refuse to explain that to you." I think the show was on at about ten at night. But that doesn't matter, because all kinds of sex talk, sexual content and sexual goings ons , are happening on TV all the time.
Please, Disney has their teenage girls dressed like little ho's, wearing super short skirts, and tons of makeup.
Quite frankly, I'm embarrassed to watch TV with my daughter in the room. Now I know why my in-laws only watch sports, news and the Weather Channel when we are there. Those are the only non-sexual content TV shows on TV. Unless the news is covering the Penn State Jerry Sandusky trial.
Looking back to when my daughter was about eight, I noticed a huge amount of sexual, content including nudity on cable TV. And these were not the premium channels. Up until moving to our current home, I did not watch very much TV. One night about four years ago, I walked into the living room where my then eight year old was playing nearby while my husband was dozing watching TV. Here were "The Girls Next Door", with the girls completely naked doing a Playboy photo shoot. Some of their nakedness was pixelized. I literally ran into the room, grabbed the remote turning the channel to a safer TV channel, so that my now wide awake husband and my daughter who should have been doing homework, could watch football instead.
Soon after I banned my daughter from doing homework downstairs.
But our children are not safe from viewing nudity and sexual content on TV. No longer is there a family hour on TV. Sexual content runs all day. For awhile there, I could turn on the TV, and watch the Soprano's on regular cable TV, at eight in the morning. My daughter's teen friends tell her they watch the reality TV show, "Jersey Shore."They think it is wrong of me to not allow my daughter to watch such garbage.
Maybe it's time we parents started publicity boycotting certain TV shows, or we stopped allowing our kids to have TVs in their bedrooms. An even better idea may be to only allow very basic cable TV to come into our homes, without any premium channels. Just think, parents can save money, and kids can learn about sex by going online.
Any way, you look at it, we parents are screwed. It's almost impossible to keep sexual content away from our kids. The only way it is possible is to not have cable, or satellite TV or the Internet in our homes. While not allowing premium cable TV channels in your home, or the Internet, we parents are ultimately penalizing ourselves.

CAPE GIRARDEAU COUNTY, MO (KFVS) - The Cape Girardeau County Sheriff's Office investigated a report of shots fired into a home on Route BB early Sunday afternoon.
A resident says his house was hit by gunfire. He says one bullet went through the front of his house, through the wall and into a recliner and another bullet went through his front door.
According to Lt. David James with the sheriff's office, one person was taken custody for unlawful use of a weapon. That person was reportedly shooting a gun nearby.
No injuries were reported, although children were playing in the house at the time.
Lt. James says this does not appear to be intentional act.

The food of ancient India was almost exclusively vegetarian, but with each successive foreign invasion, among whom were the Persians, the Mongols, the Portuguese and the British, meat and different cooking styles were gradually introduced and were adapted to the local cuisine.
As is often the case in life, the introduction of a foreign element revitalised and strengthened the existing tradition.
The food prepared at the Sultan's Kitchen is a reflection of this process.
… and welcome to Pintxo Spanish Taperia. We're the 'go-to' place for great food in a fun and festive atmosphere.
When eating with family and friends, sharing a variety of dishes is a Spanish custom. As each dish is prepared and cooked in the kitchen, it's brought directly to the table to share… it's the same when dining at Pintxo.
Get in the festive mood by starting with a glass of Sangria, Spanish wine or beer. Look over our selection of twenty tapas dishes that include well-known favourites like Galician octopus, patatas bravas, garlic mushrooms and croquetas. Or if you prefer more modern tapas, then our slow cooked pork ribs, scallops in cava or prawns wrapped in jamon will be sure to delight you. Our tapas platter for two or more is a very popular choice too.
At Fasta Pasta, we're fanatical about fresh pasta – and have been since 1984.
In all those years, we've only ever used the finest quality durum wheat and eggs, which give our pasta its distinctive soft texture and tenderness. This allows our pasta to absorb the full flavour of our delicious sauces and other ingredients – qualities that dried pasta can't quite provide..
While we're passionate about keeping our menus fresh, we must confess that one
ingredient of our success is our age-old Southern Italian culinary know-how. In fact, some of our recipes have been passed down through generations, and when we look to introduce a new dish, we often look to the past – with a modern twist or two.
Let us introduce ourselves. We are husband and wife team and our names are Shaun and Sharna. Our dream was to have our own business and in 1999 we established Pepperoni's. Starting out as a take away shop we moved to a bigger premises in 2003 so we could offer alfresco dining.
Shaun who has been a chef for 23 years loves cooking Italian food, especially for his loyal customers. Shaun makes the dough fresh daily and creates his pasta sauces to order.
Pepperoni's is "a pizza shop with the lot". We have pizzas, pastas, ribs, salads, chicken dishes, veal dishes, prawn dishes, home made desserts and gelato. You can choose to dine in, take away or even home delivery.
Pepperoni's has a friendly, casual atmosphere, where locals love to meet.

Irish brothers escape from Venezuela jail
TWO Irish brothers have escaped a jail in Venezuela where they were serving 11 years on foot of convictions for cocaine smuggling.
Leigh (25) and Dermot O'Neill (21) are back home in Athlone after walking out of the notorious San Juan prison where they were incarcerated last year.
An Irish priest in Caracas said he got a call from them.
"They usually rang me for money, but they said they'd escaped," said Fr John Jennings. It's believed they stayed with a Venezuelan man who had also escaped.
"It is likely they would've handed over a lot of money. You don't walk out the front door without help from officials," he added.
Leigh had pleaded guilty to the offences, while his younger brother Dermot protested his innocence.
The lads spent the past few weeks making their way home from South America.
Locals told the Herald that the pair have been seen with their sister in recent days.
"We never heard they were home so it was a bit surprising," said one resident. The family is originally from the town's Parnell Square estate.
In March last year the two had been travelling with Irishman Martin 'Butch' Beirne in Venezuela when Beirne, who had addresses in Sligo and Roscommon, died in a Caracas hotel after a cocaine-filled condom burst in his stomach.
Police arrested the O'Neill brothers and discovered Leigh had "foreign objects" in his body. He later passed 92 balloons filled with 725g of cocaine worth €50,000
But an X-ray of younger brother Dermot showed he hadn't swallowed any drugs.
"It's great they are back," an uncle named Tommy was quoted as saying today.

BCSS Wins $157M Contract to Operate JTC's Jurong Rock Caverns
JTC Corporation (JTC) announced Wednesday that it has awarded the Jurong Rock Caverns (JRC) operatorship to Banyan Caverns Storage Services Pte Ltd (BCSS), a consortium comprising Vopak Terminals Singapore Pte Ltd (45 percent), Geostock SAS (35 percent) and Jurong Consultants Pte Ltd (20 percent). The operatorship will be for a period of 15 years and has a contractual value of about $157.3 million (SGD 200 million).
The award of the operatorship is a key milestone for the first phase of the Jurong Rock Caverns – South-east Asia and Singapore's first subterranean hydrocarbon storage facility located at Jurong Island.
The operator will manage, operate and maintain the ancillary and underground facilities at the JRC and will not handle the sales and marketing of storage services of the JRC. These facilities include the five oil storage caverns, underground tunnels, Mechanical, Electrical and Instrumentation (MEI) equipment such as fire-fighting and ventilation systems, and supporting facilities such as the jetties which will transport the oil to and from the JRC.
The three parties in the BCSS consortium bring together a rich combination of experience, competency, expertise and resources to operate the JRC. Vopak Terminals Singapore Pte Ltd is an independent bulk liquids storage company with over 30 years of experience in Singapore. It currently operates four tank terminals with a total storage capacity of over 105.94 million cubic feet (3 million cubic meters).
Geostock SAS is an international engineering firm with close to 50 years of experience and know-how in the design, construction supervision and operation-maintenance of all types of underground storage facilities for a wide variety of products including liquid, liquefied and gaseous hydrocarbons. Jurong Consultants Pte Ltd has experience in the full range of services for aboveground bulk liquid storage facilities including front-end engineering design, design-and-build for jetties and operation buildings, pre-commissioning and commissioning works and project management.
The process to select a capable and qualified operator, involved a rigorous two-stage Request-for-Proposal (RFP). In the first stage of pre-qualification, the RFP respondents were required to submit business proposals and were shortlisted based on criteria such as financial stability, experience, capability and track record. Shortlisted RFP respondents were then invited to submit their proposals in the second stage during which each respondent was then evaluated based on individual merits, with emphasis on the fee as well as technical, commercial and legal propositions.
Commenting on behalf of the consortium, Managing Director of Vopak Terminals Singapore, Teo Seow Ling said, "This is a milestone project for Singapore and for the consortium partners, and we are delighted to be awarded the operatorship contract by JTC. Leveraging on the strengths of each partner, we are optimistic that the consortium will bring value to the safe operation of the JRC. Following the award, we will be transferring employees from the consortium companies to fill key positions in BCSS."

Farm Values and Expenditures on the Rise, Congress Asks for Dropping of COOL rule
- USDA announced on Friday that U.S. farmers spent $367.3 billion on agricultural production in 2013.
The National Agriculture Statistics Service report said the average per farm expenditures totaled $175,270. That figure is up 2.3 percent from 2012.
Crop farms accounted for the majority of the production expenditures last year. The average expenditure per crop farm totaled $211,659 compared to $143,521 per livestock farm.
The 2014 Land Value Report was also released Friday and estimated farm real estate values are averaging $2,950 an acre this year. That's 8.1 percent higher from last year.
- Food Safety News reports if the World Trade Organization sides with Canada and Mexico on country of origin labeling, Congress members will request USDA to drop the rule.

The fifth and final season of this Psycho prequel and retelling shows the final psychotic break of Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore) as he begins to fully communicate with his dead mother Norma Bates (Vera Farmiga) after killing at the end of the fourth season. This season intersects with the original Psycho storyline and then throws that totally out the window as it develops a new storyline. Norman begins to have a crush on a woman at the local hardware store Madeleine Loomis (Isabelle McNally) but grows jealous of her cheating husband Sam Loomis (Austin Nichols). Marion Crane (Rihanna) makes off with her boss's cash and checks into the Bates Motel. Norman spies on her through his hidden peephole, but when Marion showers, she is not murdered.
Meanwhile, Sheriff Romero (Nestor Carbonell) plots revenge on Norman for killing Norma. He sends murderers to kill Norman though the motel owner outsmarts these hitmen. Frustrated with his plan's failure, Romero escapes from prison and travels towards Bates Motel. Norman's brother Dylan (Max Thieriot) worries about Norma, not knowing that she's dead. He has started a new life with Emma (Olivia Cooke) and their new child. When he learns of Norma's death he grows worried and admits to Emma that he believes Norman killed her mother.
Norman continues to tumble towards insanity as he goes out drinking and has whole nights as Norma. He wakes up disturbed and eventually manifests his fantasy by digging her body up and keeping it down in the basement assumedly using his skills as a taxidermist to keep it in a somewhat manageable condition. The sight of Norma's dead body is especially chilling and harkens back to the original films awful revelation. Norma's brother Caleb (Kenny Johnson) shows up and starts asking questions about his dead sister. The strange Chick Hogan (Ryan Hurst) becomes fascinated by Norman and accidentally kill Caleb when he escapes after witnessing the horror of Norman's insanity.
As Norman becomes more unhinged, he realizes that his split personality is fighting for control. His mother's identity murders Sam Loomis instead in the shower scene and disposes of the body. However, in a brief moment of clarity, Norman calls the police, confesses and is arrested. The Norma half is furious with his actions but before he can be prosecuted Romero breaks in and captures him. Romero forces Norman to show him where he reburied Norma and as the sheriff cries over her body, Norman hits him over the head and kills him. Norman returns to the motel for one final check-in before his brother shows up. Dylan shoots Norman when attacked and Norman dies, ending the show.
Bates Motel has been an interesting reimagining of the Psycho story, focusing on Norman as a young man whose illnesses shown through prior to the final breakdown. I am a bit torn by the divergence with the real story as I would have liked to see the updated classic scene but thought the story was good even without it. The seasons have always been interesting with plenty of cliffhangers and plot twists as the story was expanded. It is hard to end a show but I found this one satisfying. Bates Motel was a good new twist on an old classic story.

I've been having a ring phase recently.
I've been creating a series of cluster rings.
I find it incredibly satisfying selecting beads in a colour scheme or mix and adding them to the ring bases.
They are fiddly things to make, but add a real dash of colour and texture to you outfit.
The ring bases are platinum plated and are fully adjustable.
They came in any different colour ranges, or can be made in your own colour specification.
You can see the other rings I have made on HERE

These high-performance ingest systems are implemented worldwide in numerous installations for the quality-controlled migration of large legacy media archive stocks be it analog carriers, CD Audio, Audio DAT or SD Material from Betacam / Betacam SP / IMX or U-Matic with highest quality and minimum personal interaction. Christophe Kummer, Managing Director of NOA GmbH.
Televisin Canaria, the broadcasting authority for Spains Canary Islands, has migrated its entire archive from LTO tape to an ALTO all-disk storage system from Disk Archive Corporation. Initially configured with 1600TB of storage, the ALTO replaces Televisin Canarias previous archive installation based on a Robotic Tape Library and a third-party Archive Management system.
Front Porch Digital, the global leader in cloud-based content storage management (CSM) solutions, today announced that Russian broadcaster NTV has installed a complete system of Front Porch Digital SAMMA(R) media migration tools to digitize its vast store of videotapes. NTV has also installed Front Porch Digital's DIVArchive(R) CSM system and DIVAdirector(R) media asset management (MAM) system to help it manage, access, and repurpose the video once it is digitized. The Front Porch Digital migration and archiving workflow enables NTV to preserve legacy video assets before the tapes deteriorate, and ensures the broadcaster will be able to find and reuse those assets indefinitely.
SR is relying on SRF for a two-year project that will migrate some 200,000 hours of audio recordings to secure and readily accessible digital storage. For the project, SRF has deployed multiple NOA Ingest Line systems including MediaLector to migrate the content of legacy carriers into the managed archive where it will be available to staff via the NOA mediARC distributed Web interface. The overall project began in February and will conclude in 2012.

Tashlich 5772 in Gloucester
Tashlich" together in Gloucester by the sea. I packed a few siddurim, some additional texts, a few more texts, and some bread for the occasion. As we stood by the shore a single seagull came by and watched us and enjoyed a swim in the water. sins", our wrongdoings and transgressions against G-D, into the sea. As the bread crumbs appeared so did a flock of seagulls seemingly appearing out of nowhere. We had to laugh as we tried to cast away our sins into the water without the seagulls gobbling them up!

A new study has revealed the moon is 4.47 billion-years-old, after a team of planetary scientists discovered it was formed 95 million years after the birth of the solar system.
This makes the Earth's moon up to 60 million years younger than some previous estimates, a study published on Wednesday found.Researchers used a new way to calculate the birthday of the planet's only natural satellite. Astronomer John Chambers, with the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington DC, said the mega-asteroid that smashed into Earth, launching debris that later became the moon, occurred about 95 million years after the birth of the solar system.
"We think that the thing that hit Earth and ended up forming the moon, the lion's share of it stayed on Earth," he explained. "A small fraction of its mass and some material from Earth was pushed off into space to form the moon. That was probably the last big event," he added.
The study, published in the journal Nature, is based on 259 computer simulations of how the solar system evolved.The programs simulate the crashes and mergers of the small bodies until they meld into the rocky planets that exist today.Earth's last big chuck came from a Mars-sized body that hit about 95 million years after the solar system's formation when measured by that geologic clock, the study showed.
At 99.9 per cent accurate, the study disputes some previous estimates that the moon-forming impact occurred as early as 30 million to 40 million years after the solar system's formation.The results also open another even bigger mystery about why some planets, like Mars, form relatively quickly, while others, like Earth and possibly Venus, take far longer.
Analysis of Martian meteorites and the computer simulations indicate Mars was finished in just a few million years.

This year has been remarkable for me on the rug hooking side: my work was featured in my friend Tracy Jamar's wonderful book Coils, Folds, Twists and Turns: Contemporary Techniques in Fiber (I have a few copies to sell this weekend), and I was invited to teach and vend at Sauder Village Rug Week -- an honor and a delight, to be sure. My work will also be included in a show at the V.S.O.P. Gallery in Greenport -- more on that to follow.
On the personal side, dealing with Pete's T-PLL (a rare and very aggressive type of Leukemia) has been life-changing, to say the least. We live with many restrictions, but Pete has sailed through the process of chemo and the stem cell transplant with relative ease -- until a few weeks ago. The disease has reared its horribly ugly head again, and his white blood cell count is climbing. He received a boost of donor stem cells that had been frozen back in April on Friday. Wednesday he began a round of a chemo drug to boost the efficacy of the donor cells. At the end of a long day at the clinic, he was diagnosed with a blood clot in his left leg and had to be taught to inject himself with a blood thinner. Thursday morning he faced debilitating nausea. That's under control now, or I wouldn't have left him for the weekend (some special neighbors are keeping a watchful eye on him for me).
The coming year will see us continuing the battle for Pete's health, as well as planning our daughter's wedding to be held on the shores of Peconic Bay next September. It's so good to have something joyous to plan and participate in, in between trips to the clinic. We look forward to having Clara, Josh and their golden retriever puppy, Bernadette, with us at home often in the coming months while we plan and execute the wedding of their dreams.
I started writing this because of all the sickly people on the ferry this morning. So many people are coughing and sneezing and spreading germs and really should be at home. I have managed -- with lots of prolonged hand-washing and gallons of Purell and lots of Clorox wipes - to stay healthy for the past year so that Pete can stay healthy, too. A cold is no longer just a cold to me, now that I know what a catastrophe it can be to a person with a compromised immune system. All you sickies should be home in bed until you are no longer contagious! Someone's life may depend on it! I'm going to be royally ticked off if I get sick from a ferry ride . . .

The ARB is calling for an extension of its power to police misuse of title. The board has asked the government to give it control over the use of the word 'architectural' as well as over 'architect'.
The change, which would require Parliament to revise the Architects Act, would allow the ARB to prosecute non-architects describing themselves as 'architectural consultants' or offering 'architectural services'.
The calls came during a visit to the board from Sally Keeble, the DTLR minister responsible for architecture and urban design. Board member Susan Ware said the ARB received about 700 complaints a year about misleading advertisements in local papers. 'But there's nothing we can do, ' she said. 'The answer is to get the act amended.'
Vice-chair of the board Owen Luder said the ARB could extend its remit without a change in the act - by taking a successful test case to the Office of Fair Trading. It has been waiting for a suitable test case, he said.
lARB chair Barbara Kelly is to step down at the end of March. The AJ understands that lay members Judge Humphrey Lloyd and Alan Crane are the two most likely candidates to replace her.

Governing Patriotic Party Congresswoman Catarina Castor died in the crash of a private plane in the northwestern Guatemalan province of Quiche, while the pilot was killed and another politician was injured, officials said Sunday.
Pilot Julio Giron, 36, died in the accident and Quiche Gov. Heber Cabrera was transported to a Guatemala City hospital, where he is being treated for his injuries.
The accident happened Saturday afternoon in Nebaj, a town about 240 kilometers (149 miles) from the capital, Congressman Valentin Gramajo, leader of the Patriotic Party group in Congress, told reporters.
The 32-year-old Castor and the governor were heading to the city of Santa Cruz for a ceremony marking the 16th anniversary of the signing of the peace agreements that ended Guatemala's civil war, Gramajo said.
The pilot lost control of the single-engine Cessna 110 on take-off from the air strip in Nebaj due to mechanical problems, emergency services officials said. [Fox]

Q: How did you start dancing and come to where you are now?
A: I started dancing at 3 and was a tap dancer and an African dancer at a center for arts of the African diaspora. And I just kept on tapping up to the level that they said if I were to take any more classes I should start doing modern and jazz. So I kept tumbling into dance and trying different genres and never really stopped.
Q: You're also a psychology major. How do you think psychology and theater and dance work together as disciplines?
A: Dance and psych allow for a mind and body connection. The way people think affects how I choreograph dances. I'm really interested in identity, which I explore in my thesis, and psychology also gives me other ways to consider that. I was in a psych class the other day, and we were talking about group think, and that made me really excited because I thought — this is what I'm trying to represent in one of my dances!
Q: How does it feel to cast and direct your peers in a piece you have written? Does it come naturally, or is it uncomfortable? What skills do you think it requires?
A: It's so weird directing your peers. It takes time to get used to, of course. You think, "Aw man, I have to keep them safe." I have to create a space where they feel comfortable and ready to share.
I can't make a piece about identity without focusing on the people in the piece. In most of the work, I interview and ask them questions like, "What is a white space to you? What does a black space mean to you?" Then I use their answers to make them solos, so their responses make the text.
Q: How did you make your thesis an interdisciplinary combination of "music, text, movement and sound"?
A: I've been interested in text for a while now. My advisor is Wendy Woodson, and Paul Matteson is one of my mentors, and they both work with text. I also like including interviews because you get to know people a lot with talking, and I think the best is when I talk and move at the same time. So for the auditions for my piece, I had the dancers do movement and text improvisations. I'd get them to respond with their bodies to a word. I didn't know what I wanted to do for my thesis, so I interviewed them because I also wanted to respond to what they said. I like working subconsciously, so I just read their responses over a lot, and then I arrived at what I wanted to do.
Q: How did you choose the music?
A: That's a funny question. I don't want to spoil it. In life, if I like this song, I want to dance to it, so for one piece I just did that. Then for another piece I wanted to switch it up and have people have fun.
I didn't know what I wanted to do, so I am working with Sam Croff '18 to compose a piece. We talked about chaos, and it's an entity that we're still forming.
The last piece, it wasn't just me picking music that I liked. I wanted to play up these really cool character shifts. I wanted to pick songs because of the contexts in which they were made. We're trying to go to different spaces and different time periods. What was commercial while this song [was] being made, and what emotion goes into it?
Q: What is it like to study dance in an academic setting? What do you think is the main difference between dancing recreationally and as an art form?
A: That's a big question. Dance in a professional or academic setting is more codified within more distinct genres of dance. Social dance is popular dance, so you don't need to be trained to do popular dance. It comes out of your culture. The culture then influences professional dancers. Popular dance can be more trendy, like some kids came up with the Nae Nae, and it caught on. With professional dance, you're taught from a young age.
There tends to be more of a wall between dance and music in terms of accessibility. Music can be easily consumed, but with dance you have to participate in it. People get weird about bodies, and they feel like they're not doing something right.
Q: What role do you think dance plays at Amherst? Do you think there's a relationship between dance and cultural appropriation on college campuses?
A: Dance is accessible, but a lot of people at this school think it's inaccessible. I never go there and think everyone sucks at dancing. I like watching people dance because it's natural, and it's the way people move and have fun. Dance plays out in that venue … like parties [with] people letting loose or moving. I think people don't understand dance on a stage because they think they're watching it incorrectly. You just need to sit back, watch it and think about the way it makes you feel. You wouldn't look at abstract art and think it's going to give you one answer.
I think it devalues the cultures where the dances come from. A lot of dance history involves cultural appropriation, teaching dances "of the orient," but I don't really think about cultural appropriation at a party. Go up and have fun if it's a popular dance in America. What does it mean to dance like a black woman? I don't think there's a problem until the way the movements are interpreted based on the body. When a white girl starts twerking, everyone thinks it's super cool, but when a black girl does it, it's expected or ignored or ridiculed.
Q: What do you think we can do to have more art at Amherst?
A: That's actually my job next year. I'm the Arts at Amherst Coordinator, so I'll be doing that. A lot of having more art at Amherst has to do with accessibility and availability. Sometimes there isn't enough publicity, especially when faculty bring in really cool people. I also think there should be different communities of art coming together where we collaborate and make fun stuff.

Are the clouds finally parting?
Nope! And that's how I ended up with a vitamin D deficiency.
Ugh! I guess it makes sense though, with an average of 299 cloudy days a year where I live; it's no wonder. I moved here from Hawaii, and it wasn't until recently that I noticed just how different I've been feeling. Perhaps it was a gradual thing? Also, probably about a year after moving here about 3 1/2 years ago, I had experienced a tragic life event that left me crushed. I won't go into exactly what that was, it's still too painful for me to talk about, but I thought it was the only reason that I haven't been feeling like myself for so long.
I finally went to the doctor and explained to her the way I've been feeling. Depressed and exhausted. She sent me for some blood work, and I forgot about it for a while.
Then I received a letter (and vitamin D prescription) from my doctor saying that I had a deficiency and it gave me the instructions on how to take my prescription. The letter said my goal levels were between 50 and 100 and my level was currently at a 19.
Well, I have no idea what a vitamin D deficiency or those levels mean or what the symptoms are so I read a few articles, and I was shocked and relieved. Here is a link to one of the articles, in case your interested.
You might want to read it, because as it states, "more than 40 percent of Americans are deficient" and that "Aches and pains? You can easily chalk them up to the aftereffects of your last workout—or simply not being 20 anymore. Tiredness? That could be because you aren't getting enough quality sleep."
I know, I know. You had no idea that I wasn't in my 20s anymore since I look so young.
I found that I had quite a few of the symptoms.
Depression ✅
Muscle Weakness ✅
Tiredness ✅
Crankiness ✅ What? No way! I'm a delight!
Actually, I haven't been super cranky, but I also haven't been my normally happy self. Maybe moodiness would be a better descriptor for me. I've definitely been moody. I've been either very happy or extremely low.
For years, life has felt overwhelming and exhausting. My writing suffered. I wondered what was wrong with me. But maybe now I know. At least the physical component anyway. But I'm also taking steps to work on the emotional pain that I was too scared to confront or admit before.
I started taking my supplements last week, and I'm already feeling better. I can't believe the difference in my energy and mood. I'm feeling quite happy and hopeful. The thought of returning to the way I used to feel (without needing to take some drug with its own commercial and side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, and death) is incredible.
I'm so happy that the thought of working on my novels feels exciting again and not like a chore anymore.
AND I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be co-hosting a new Indie tag on Twitter. @Peachytags
You'll be able to play along with me and my wonderful co-hosts, @Billie_Jean00 on Saturday mornings at 730 AM. (You know I'm feeling better if I said yes to something that happens before 10 AM on a Saturday! Ha ha!)
It's going to be so much fun. If you're on Twitter, I really hope you'll follow our tag and play along.
And you know what… I change my mind. The clouds are indeed parting.
I have a very good feeling that my efforts to write, clean, work, or do just about anything else will go from feeling like this…
To feeling like this…
I'm so excited to move forward, and I can't wait to feel like me again! Woot woot!

Why People Go to University
Topic 1
Why do people go to university?
In our developed world today university education is no more a too-high-to-reach goal. Our higher education system is year after year offering a host of more places as well as support in diverse ways to assist those who crave university experience and whose circumstances make it difficult for them to enter university gates. Given the fact that university education is aggrandizing its attraction to more and more people from different backgrounds, it is interesting to know the rationale behind that encouraging phenomenon. In this paper I will point out some of the most popular reasons why people go to university.
In the first place, let us look at the traditional and still pivotal view over the use of university education: career preparation. Obviously as we can all perceive when looking into any university campus today, young people dominate in numbers of higher education students. What these youngsters are striving themselves there to achieve is a complete, up-to-date, professional training for their future job, to qualify themselves as outstanding grabbers of opportunities prevailing today for highly competitive aspirants. Indeed, one with a bachelor's or a master's degree is much more likely to attain well-paying position as well as fruitful accomplishes in later professional life. According to a recent statistics, people who equipped themselves with higher education knowledge earn 40% more, on average, than people whose highest level of study ends with a high school diploma. For all those attractive career prospects, in ground of the apprehension of becoming the remnant of society as unemployment crisis is laying its dark ghostly shadow on world's economic challenging almost every government, people yearn for university education.
The second motive magnetizes people to university is the broad chance they get to widen their relationship and to diversify their grasp of the world in the time...

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Merge Creation is the best seo service provider as well as other seo company in Bangladesh.
What is Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?
Search Engine Optimization, often referred to as SEO, is a strategic process used to improve a web site or web page's visibility in search engines organic placement, especially on Google.com, yahoo anf bing...
Day and night, Google and the other search engines have electronic data collectors, commonly called robots, spiders or crawlers, traveling the World Wide Web searching for new or updated information. When these spiders visit a page, they are transmitting data and attempting to establish the theme or subject matter of that page. The practice of "Search Engine Optimization" is adjusting various elements in order to make the subject matter of a webpage extremely clear to the spiders so when someone conducts a search the search engine will consider that page to be relevant and rank it at or near the top of the results.
While MC is not fairly new company, we are far from novices. We have been keeping our finger on the pulse of search technology since Google was a mere adolescent. For us, gaining top search rankings is more than just a duty – it is something we enjoy. We have done it repeatedly and fully expect to continue the trend.

After the disappointing attempt at an origin story that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine in 2009, The Wolverine moves things forward and tackles one of the character's more beloved storylines from the comics. The results are mixed, but it does prove to be entertaining.

Athletic MINISTRIES
The sports ministry at NPU exists to help student-athletes learn how to integrate their faith into their sport and every aspect of their lives. Our desire is to engage every student-athlete at NPU with the transforming power of the Gospel so that they may:
· Discover and develop a vibrant relationship with Jesus,
· Experience the power of the Holy Spirit in their lives,
· Be inspired and equipped to work for justice and extend mercy as they reach out to those around them with the Gospel.
· Reach their full potential—not just as athletes—but as people who have a unique contribution to make to better our city and world.
The Locker Room is a place where faith, life, and sport meet. In a laid back, interactive, and safe environment, student athletes can explore with their peers what it means to integrate faith in Christ into every area of their lives—including their sport—through relevant bible teaching and meaningful interactions with their peers. There is always lots of free food and snacks, opportunities to form meaningful relationships with other Vikings athletes, some friendly competition to make things interesting, and occasional visits from other professional and collegiate athletes who are on the same journey of faith. The Locker Room is definitely the place to be for Vikings athletes on Tuesday nights!!!
For more information contact Craig Hendrickson, Head Athletic Chaplain
Team studies: Student led, staff driven. While team chaplains may initiate studies, the goal is to have at least 1-2 student athletes on every team large enough to support one lead a study among their teammates. The groups are intended to provide a safe environment for student athletes to go deeper into personal and spiritual issues so that they can develop a vibrant relationship with Jesus.
One-to-one discipleship: Provided by individual team chaplains, or by the Head Athletic Chaplain on teams without a team chaplain to provide student-athletes with the support they need to grow towards spiritual maturity.
Personal and spiritual counseling: Provided by the Head Athletic Chaplain and individual team chaplains to meet the socio-emotional and spiritual needs of student-athletes at NPU.

My Most Memorable Travel Escapade of 2011: Being a Tourist on Home Soil7 18 Share Tweet
Frustrated at not having the means nor the time to travel overseas, I decided to visit touristy places in my own country (Singapore), and discovered a whole new perspective of viewing home.
To make my travel escapade truly authentic, I scoured malls, mom-and-pop stores, and supermarkets for local souvenirs that tourists would normally buy as a token of their trip here in Singapore. I got fridge magnets, postcards, toys, paperweights…anything that resembles popular tourist spots was fair game. These artifacts would later on determine my travel "itinerary".
With a La Sardina in hand, I embarked on my solo journey to various local attractions as determined by the souvenirs I bought prior to the trip. The idea was to shoot these objects against the real thing as the backdrop. For example, I held a paperweight of the Merlion, a popular water-sprouting landmark in Singapore, against the real thing at Fullerton and got these:
Then, I went to the Singapore River, a historic waterway that shaped the early days of the country's trading and shot a magnet of a bumboat against the modern watertaxis used to transport tourists today.
In Chinatown, I used a toy lantern to depict this ubiquitous Chinese object.
And how can I not use postcards? Here we see the Sultan Mosque in Arab Street, and the renowned Raffles Hotel in City Hall.
So there you go. One of my most memorable travel escapades of 2011, if not THE most memorable ones, happened right in my own city. I highly recommend everyone to try this out in their own country. Not only is it fun, it also gives you a newfound appreciation for the things/places we often tend to overlook.

I was flipping around the TV the other day when I came across an episode of Flip or Flop on HGTV. It follows two real estate agents in California who buy houses at auctions, fix them up, and sell them retail. They showed a few of their previous projects. On one condo they made $20k in 20 days! They wake up in the morning and find that there are over 80 auctions in their county.
While it sounds easy, there are a few catches. First, they don't get to see inside the properties before they bid. Second, they have to buy the houses fast for cash. At the auction they get the property for $275k but had to pay a little more than they wanted. When they get into the property they won it turned out to be in good condition. What surprised me was how much the husband wife differed on their estimated renovation costs. It felt as though they were just winging with project.
Soon the contractor arrived. Going through the property the husband and contractor were quite adversarial. The contractor would throw out a price for specific work and the husband would immediate cut it in half. The contractor wanted to bid out the project as a whole but the husband wanted to sub-contract out everything piecemeal. I don't feel like this is the correct way to build a relationship with a contractor, but who am I to say, I'm not a professional.
The bid from the contractor came in at $42k. This was more than the husband estimated but less than the wife. They need to sell the house around $330k just to break even. The husband decided to save money by filling in the pool himself. The contractor saved the day by stopping the husband since the pool would have to be removed, not filled in, per code. This pool removal added an additional $5k to the budget.
The wife is the designer of the operation. She picked out some great tile that cost a little more than the husband wanted.They decided to paint the fireplace to blend in with the color scheme. The biggest risk they took was not having a door in the master bathroom. It passed the inspection but the inspector found a window that needed to be replaced with something larger for egress access. Not only that but the contractor found asbestos that had to be remediated. This added $5k to the budget! They were going way over but at least it was being done right.
Once the house came together it was beautiful. They held an open house and had a ton of interest. They got multiple offers and sold the house for $405k with a profit of $55k!
Looking around Arbutus I could see myself flipping one of these houses. Yes, I know, I had sworn off real estate investing in my previous posts, put this show has got me thinking. Why wouldn't I be able to pull something like this off?

You probably want a graph where the nodes represent departments and edges represent the mappings. To implement graphs in Haskell, have a look at the functional graph library http://hackage.haskell.org/package/fgl If that's too complicated for you and your graphs are really small, you can also use a toy implementation like type Graph = [(Node, -- Department [Node]) -- List of Departments it shares revenue to ] To test whether a graph has cycles ("looping mapping"), you can use a depth-first search.

Microsofts Surface with Windows RT https://www.pinterest.com/datarecoverybiz/ is a gorgeous device that under different circumstances might have been a gloriously unexpected mutation in the evolution of hardware. But beauty cant conceal the blemishes beneath. The promise of the Surface, and hybrids in general, is that they can credibly replace both a laptop and a tablet. Surface disappoints as either.
Much of what isnt right is due to the operating system on the device. This version of Windows 8 dramatically changes the user experience by co-mingling a traditional Windows desktop with a separate universe dominated by live tiles that allow access to information and apps. The interfacedoesnt impress, complicating appreciation for the hardware itself. For whatever reason, the OS seems slow and unresponsive. And the full desktop is crippled: Its not possible, for example, to install desktop software like a different browser or software you might need for a 4G dongle even in the desktop mode. It feels like a device that was dreamed up to have one revolutionary new interface instead left the factory with two broken ones.
Surface RT with the type keyboard
Further, in the one place where the design is spot on, Microsofts marketing http://binarybizfirm.tumblr.com/ and sales pitch is out of sync: Surfaceskeyboard-as-cover is truly innovative, which makes the significant extra cost for this option a bit insulting. As questionable as Surface is, it is outright incomprehensible without it. I tried both the touch which doesnt have raised keys and the type version which can be used to touch type. Only the type makes any sense, and Microsoft seems to be driving https://www.diigo.com/profile/binarybizfirm us to this patently superior model by charging only $10 more for it than the touch model (MSRP $120 vs $130). I didnt use my touch keyboard enough for it to come apart at the seams, but there were early reports that it does.
What you cant get still is something that does the work of both.
Surface RT is an interesting foray into hybrid computing, but it seems like little more than a proof of concept for better implementations of an idea which is only beginning to mature. This iteration wouldnt make it into my go bag. But as for future variations on this theme? I am all eyes and ears and fingertips.
