text: DOWNSIZING Alexander Payne has a great idea with Downsizing (R) and doesn't quite know what to do with it. Tight finances lead Paul and Audrey Safranek (Matt Damon, Kristen Wiig) to join a trend of shrunken families moving to shrunken communities where a little money goes a long, long way. Payne's first 30 minutes are clever satire making fun use of oversized props and perspective shifts. We're having fun learning about this wacky process from lab discovery to public awe then Neil Patrick Harris shilling an absurdly literal downsized community to prospects. Interesting ideas for allegory are broached: bias against short people, the cult of whatever's new, money corrupting at any size. They're ditched — along with Wiig's character — for Paul's molly temptation by his Eurotrash neighbors (Christoph Waltz, Udo Kier), a grating subplot. Eventually Paul's quest for meaning leads to the poor side of tiny town and a no-nonsense Vietnamese refugee (Golden Globe nominee Hong Chau) who teaches him Payne's idea of life's meaning. It's a shame that the director/co-writer's philosophy is less fascinating than his set designs. C+ THE GREATEST SHOWMAN Hugh Jackman is a Golden Globes frontrunner as circus impresario P.T.

Toddler And Tiaras – Why I Don't Blog On It
Regular readers might wonder why I never mention controversial reality show Toddler and Tiaras considering it is regularly in the news. For those that don't know Toddlers and Tiaras it shows very young children, under five competing in beauty pageants.
The children are usually dressed up in over the top and inappropriate costumes with a pile of make up including false eyelashes. They also have to do a talent number as well some which could be deemed inappropriate.
I know people who watch the show say the way it is edited is to take the piss out the parents that are signing their kids up to this idiocy. This may be the case, however I still feel being entertained in a "oh this is shocking" way by these toddlers is a form of exploitation by the television networks.
This week two scandals have emerged, first was a child dressed up as Dolly Parton including the big bosoms, and the most recent one where a parent dressed their kid up as a hooker from the movie Pretty Woman, and she strutted out onto the stage to Pretty Woman.
I mean seriously both examples just shows how abhorrant this show is. Of course because these two cases are so controversial it attracts international publicity to the show which the network must love.
The sexualisation of girls is a real issue, however I don't buy it is all the media's fault, parents do have a say over what kids wear and see until they are at least twelve, don't they?
However Toddler and Tiaras gives parents a vehicle to promote themselves and their child. Also as any avid reality show viewer will know the more outrageous or controversial behaviour will get air time.
I won't be linking to the YouTube clips of the above kids, however any moderately user of the internet will have stumbled over the clips on the news sites. Yes they have gone viral.
This is a great blog post by Pigtail Pals which outlines why the show should be cancelled.
What do you think of Toddlers and Tiaras? Am I being an over the top Miss Morality, considering I am not adverse to a bit of tabloid reporting myself…..

guilty! – I used to watch the show not sure if the next season has aired – but I fell in love with one of the little girls who would have the most awful tantrums – I just had to google her name Makenzie – she was hilarious! – I haven't watch the most recent series, it's hard to believe what these mothers will do

Why aren't campaigners like Hetty Johnson from Bravehearts taking on shows like this that actually foster child abuse and sexualisation rather than easy (and irrelevant) targets like Robert Crumb? Is it because most of the US moms appearing in this shite would say they are god-fearin' Christians?

Dolly Parton's on record saying she modelled her own look on her town's adult relaxation worker.
She was invited to Nashville by Chet Atkins at the age of eleven(ie before she'd "developed" ) for her talent at singing and songwriting.
I don't want to see a 5yr old brat stuffed with chicken fillets butchering " Jolene".

This show is repulisve, and the parents are just horrible. When people are adults they can choose to do what ever they wish, but these are very young little girls and their 'mothers' (I use that term losely) prostituting their daughters on stage and on TV just leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. There is no encouragement of education, reading, knowledge – it's just flaunt your looks and act like mini whores all for your unsucessful (usually morbidly obese) sad sack loser mothers.
Good on you for not blogging on this. I'll watch any crap and have a laugh – but when children are involved I draw a very big line.

JACK VETTRIANO is selling off the contents of his flat including items immortalised in his paintings.
The 60-year-old Scots artist painted many of his works in the studio flat in Kirkcaldy, Fife – but he has decided to have a clearout after "spending an increasing amount of time in London".
Among the lots at Shapes' auction in Edinburgh this Saturday are a Victorian sofa featured in the painting Original Sin and a 1950s red side-chair which appears in Self Portrait, The Critical Hour and Rachel in the Studio.
Auctioneer Gavin Lindsay said: "Other interesting items include his artist's board and his kettle, which is covered in his paint.
"Any other paint-spattered kettle would be worthless, but we think people will be interested in this one."

Tell John Carney to support the WORK Act, so every mother in American can make the same choice Ann Romney did.
Now that Republicans have flip-flopped on their decades-long denigration of mothers and decided that staying at home to raise children is work—or at least, it's work when Ann Romney does it; poor mothers, not so much—House Democrats are telling them to put their money where their mouth is. Ryan Grim at Huffington Post reports:
A handful of House Democrats, encouraged by the recent bipartisan agreement that stay-at-home moms should be considered just as hard working as anyone in the workforce, will introduce legislation to apply that standard to mothers on welfare as well.
Under current law, raising children does not count toward the required "work activity" that must be performed by recipients of Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, the federal program that emerged from the 1996 welfare reform. Some states make an exception for mothers with children less than a year old.
The Woman's Option to Raise Kids (WORK) Act, a copy of which was provided to HuffPost in advance of its introduction, would allow mothers with children ages 3 and under to stay at home with their children and continue receiving benefits.

Like most people, each of the words within the phrase "Healthcare Data Warehouse" makes sense, and even put together, there is some semblance of meaning, but this isn't enough. The healthcare industry is playing a game of technological-catch-up when it comes to data solutions and healthcare data systems that store, manage and report trends from within. Far gone are the days where patient health information was kept in a single office and on hard copy only. Mandates have set the standards that all medical records are to be digital and to be more readily available. This has created both a great opportunity for better care, but also a dilemma with how to store and handle so much data.
It's hard to imagine how much data is being produced every day. Most experts agree that we are all helping to create somewhere around 2.5 quintillion bytes of data each day, whether it be specifically related to healthcare, posts on Facebook or banking documents generated. All of this adds up quickly and is growing at an exponential rate each year. If you think about all the data that is produced for healthcare patients, it isn't hard to see where data storage might be an issue. Between physicians' notes, imaging results, financial information, and medications, there isn't much wonder how bytes of data add up quickly.
Healthcare data isn't just about keeping a record of a patient, but there is so much more information that can be netted, just like in any other industry that utilizes its data to find trends, patterns, and inefficiencies. The importance of having a healthcare data warehouse is that it turns the data that is already being gathered into the insight of how the organization is functioning. The data warehouse isn't just a place where data is stored, but it allows healthcare facilities to see where time, monies and energies are being spent. This provides a vivid picture, without biases, as to form, purpose and operation in every aspect of a business.
What separates a healthcare data warehouse from another industry is the fact that there is so many more requirements, both internally and externally, placed on the healthcare community. Manufacturing vehicles isn't a simple process and there are many regulations that must be adhered to, but healthcare is working with physicians and other experts, financial and accounting personnel, insurance and government reimbursement guidelines, as well as patients and their families. There are levels of expectations, especially transparency in the way care is provided, thus the data system that is relied upon cannot fall short on the many tasks that must be handled.
Different Branches of Data Warehouses Have Different Foci
This is another big problem when it comes to healthcare data reporting. Consider, for example, a broken leg. An emergency room report may focus on whether bleeding was involved and how much swelling the break caused because those things determine how urgent the response needs to be. The treating doctor who comes next will likely focus on the details of the break itself.
All of this information will also need to be transmitted to the relevant insurance companies. It turns out that these companies are usually the only parts of the healthcare system with true standardization. They use codes that are each mapped to specific things. Alas, this also means that now, there's yet another layer of difference in the records to deal with when attempting to analyze healthcare data.
Stores Data
Due to the many different pieces of information that are stored, a healthcare data warehouse is set up with parameters that take into consideration the different departments that must access the information as well as protecting the privacy of the patient. It used to be that as data systems were being created that each department had their own silo of information, and these silos didn't talk to one another. If for some reason the administration needed to see a health record, they had to enter into the digital health records, but they couldn't correlate or compare with information located in their own siloed storage. This has seen a complete overhaul, without losing the integrity of or for the data.
Meeting Regulations
All healthcare facilities must meet certain governmental standards, but these standards are vast and include local, county, state and national standards, as well as reporting to each of these entities. Creating the reports necessary for informing all governmental agencies of mandates and being up to date on all new regulations isn't something left to data software not designed for healthcare.
Privacy and Governance
There have been unfortunate reports in the news of hospitals and other facilities that have been hacked into, and patient's information stolen and used nefariously. Everyone is vulnerable if a healthcare organization does not protect these records; just about all of our most vital information is stored in these data warehouses. Because of these data breaches, care institutions have beefed up security and are doing more to protect what they are in charge of. But it goes further than this because patients have a level of expectation when it comes to having their information recorded correctly, and not being duplicated or misdirected. Accuracy is just as important as governance and should be at the forefront of the workings of the healthcare data warehouse system.
As stated before, communication between departments is vital to more efficient and accurate care. However, communication between doctor and patient or financial department and patient is also crucial because misunderstanding leads to dissatisfaction and misperception for care. Many healthcare facilities and doctors' groups have turned to patient portals that allow individuals to check on results, email directly to their doctor, and order prescription refills without ever having to leave their home. This also frees up doctors and their staff to tend to more urgent cases. Being able to more precisely communicate permits a more patient-centric atmosphere, and utilizes the data being stored to be used more openly and effectively.
There are so many people dependent upon the data that is stored within a healthcare organization. Even if the industry is playing a bit of a catch-up game in implementing strategies like the data warehouse system, it will work to benefit each of us, because, at some point, we are all a patient in the hands of a professional. As time goes on, the ability to provide better care will increase and become more efficient. We are all playing a part in this as we add information to this huge industry and they discover more about the possibilities of healthcare.

How do you show off an ad that's part dune-buggy, part snowboard, part scuba diver and all thrill? Toss yourself out of an airplane and have it assembled around you on the way down, of course. Like, du'h.
The Nissan JUKE is inherently known for its innovation in the small car category by offering
a small crossover car for men with polarising design. The campaign has therefore, seen a
heavy tie in to Nissan's in house design team to get to the heart of how the Nissan JUKE is
Bruno Mattucci, Nissan Europe Marketing Communications General Manager; commented:
"As part of Nissan Europe's Power 88 Mid Term Plan, JUKE will play a key role in driving
our market share growth objective - the Nissan JUKE has already delivered 170,000 retail
sales in Europe since late 2010. This campaign therefore aims at strengthening our brand
opinion whilst positioning Juke as a unique premium crossover in the B segment."
Ewan Veitch, President of TBWA\G1 added: "The focus on human emotion plays into the
new strategy. Previously, communications have concentrated on the car and how it interacts
with its environment. This campaign has been developed to communicate the excitement
and thrill that the driver gets from a premium and high performance, yet accessible, model.
'Built To Thrill' celebrates both the truth of the car's design DNA and the resultant
excitement from owning and driving one."
Alasdair MacGregor-Hastie, TBWA\G1 Executive Creative Director, commented: "The new
Nissan JUKE campaign builds on the energy of the launch work but in a more explosive
way. The idea was born from a truth about the car, that it was inspired by adventure sports.
In fact by talking to the team at NISSAN DESIGN EUROPE of the JUKE, we really
understood what the car was all about. This is a fantastic campaign and is a guaranteed
success, much like the car itself."
The pan-European campaign will launch in mid-March 2012; the TVC the 12th of March and
will be heavily supported by Retail, Social Media, Print (featuring the behind the scene
content film), OOH, Digital and Experiential.
The musical backdrop, composed by 'The Horrors', is in beat with the thrilling and exciting
attitude of the campaign, incorporating the impactful sound design seamlessly into the
composition to deliver a very epic and realistic feel. The powerful track has been constructed
with key syncs and gradual build-ups to enhance the dramatic feel of the ad.

Althouse's commentary, which culminated in a New York Times Op-Ed piece today, struck me as a poorly reasoned ad hominem attack on Taylor and a "divine right of kings" defense of the president -- considering the source, only to be expected. But what especially caught my eye was this barb that first appeared on her blog (emphasis added):
Judge Anna Diggs Taylor ends her opinion with a quote from Earl Warren, whom she refers to as "Justice Warren." How can you forget to call him Chief Justice? -- Ann Althouse, Althouse, 8/20/06She seemed pleased with her line about Taylor being too dim to know what to call the Chief Justice, so she repeated it to kick off her Op-Ed today:
To end her opinion in American Civil Liberties Union v. National Security Agency — the case that enjoins President Bush's warrantless surveillance program — Judge Anna Diggs Taylor quoted Earl Warren (referring to him as "Justice Warren," not "Chief Justice Warren," as if she wanted to spotlight her carelessness): "It would indeed be ironic if, in the name of national defense, we would sanction the subversion of ... those liberties ... which makes the defense of the nation worthwhile." -- Ann Althouse, New York Times, 8/23/06Far be it from me to challenge a law professor on a matter of terminology, but something tugged at the back of my mind. Was she making not only a trivial accusation here, but a false one as well? My understanding as a sometime journalist is that when citing the Chief Justice's written opinions, the preferred title is "Justice," since in his opinion he is simply acting as first among equals. The opinion, in and of itself, carries no more weight than that of any other justice, and thus "Justice" is appropriate. In contrast, in referring to the Chief Justice's duties as head of the federal court system -- or in an impeachment trial -- as well as a general public honorific, using the full title would be warranted and appropriate.
Being unable to find a rule confirming my understanding regarding accepted usage, I decided to search the New York Times archives for examples of their usage. Imagine my surprise when one of the first citations that came up was another Althouse Op-Ed (sorry about the Times Select link):
Well, quite aside from the tedium of cliché, we might want to consider whether Judge Alito really is all that much like Justice Scalia. If you're old enough, you might remember how savvy it once seemed to respond to the nomination of Harry Blackmun by lumping him with Warren Burger and calling them ''the Minnesota Twins.''And that would be Chief Justice Warren Burger, right?
Both men were appointed by Richard Nixon, who, like George W. Bush, ran for office saying he wanted to appoint strict constructionists to the bench. Yet while Justice Burger remained conservative, Justice Blackmun went on to write the opinion legalizing abortion in Roe v. Wade and, eventually, to vote consistently with the liberal justices. -- Ann Althouse, New York Times, 11/01/05
It was Emerson who famously said, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines." Apparently the New York Times agrees -- at least when it comes to selecting Op-Ed columnists.

Three men from East Stroudsburg and Stroudsburg are charged with running a $2 million marijuana operation in Monroe, Luzerne and Pike counties.
Arif Terry covered his face with his T-shirt Monday, hiding from TV news cameras and refusing to answer reporters' questions, as he entered Stroud Area Regional Police headquarters to turn himself in on charges of being part of a $2 million marijuana retailing operation.
Minutes later, his co-defendants, James Finn and Thomas Janaro, accompanied by defense attorney Joseph D'Andrea, arrived at the police station to turn themselves in. When reporters asked Finn if he had sold marijuana, he kept looking straight ahead and said, "No, and neither did he," referring to Janaro.
Finn, 28, and Janaro, 24, both of East Stroudsburg, and Terry, 29, of Stroudsburg, ran a $2 million marijuana operation in Monroe, Luzerne and Pike counties, having their customers contact them using a pager number code system to arrange deals and meeting locations, state Attorney General Thomas Corbett said. Finn began and had been masterminding the organization for several years, Corbett said.
Customers set up their accounts with their names and cell phone numbers. Finn identified each customer with a different 10-digit pager number, the middle four digits of which were a code, Corbett said.
Using his or her code, the customer paged Janaro, the primary "dispatcher," to negotiate a sales price and set up a location to make the exchange. Janaro then contacted the primary deliveryman, Terry, to meet the customer at the location, make the exchange and get the money to Finn, Corbett said.
Finn, Janaro and Terry over time moved a total of about 700 pounds of marijuana in heat-sealed ziplock bags in efforts to hide the odor from police dogs, Corbett said.
With cooperation from Stroud Area Regional Police and the Monroe County District Attorney's Office, agents of the attorney general's Bureau of Narcotics Investigation used drug customers-turned-informants and made five undercover drug buys from Oct. 17 to Nov. 20. The prices ranged from $900 for a quarter-pound to $3,300 for a pound.
Authorities then presented evidence and testimony to the grand jury, which began investigating the case in April. The grand jury investigation revealed the following:
Terry was arrested Nov. 20 and decided to cooperate with agents, consenting to wear a hidden recording device for his next meeting with Finn.
Terry then led agents to Finn's Sixth Street office in Stroudsburg. There, agents met Christopher Stogran and two other males, all three of whom said they were there to shoot pool.
Finn and Janaro then arrived at the office, at which point agents conducted a pat-down search of both men. Agents recovered a pocketknife and semi-automatic pistol from Finn's person and a cell phone, pager and tablet containing handwritten codes from Janaro's person.
Janaro gave agents consent to search his home, where agents later found two and a half pounds of marijuana worth $3,000, heat seal bags, ziplock bags with smiley face stickers on them and a digital scale, bag cutter, heat sealer and Smith and Wesson .9mm semi-automatic pistol. Janaro also gave agents consent to search a Pontiac Grand Prix used as a stash car, where they found more than 200 grams of marijuana in eight separate bags.
Stogran later testified before the grand jury to delivering what he assumed was marijuana from Janaro to Terry on Nov. 20. Thomas Geritano, Quaheem Holmes, Ryan Kastler, Anthony Hill and William Cannell all testified to buying marijuana from Finn.
Corbett, Deputy Attorney General Tim Doherty, Attorney General's Office Regional Director Francis Noonan and Stroud Area Regional Police Chief John Baujan and Capt. William Parrish appeared at a Monday press conference after Finn, Janaro and Terry had turned themselves in. On a table nearby was the evidence seized from Janaro's home and the stash car.
"This was very good work by our agents," Corbett said.
When asked how agents happened onto this marijuana scheme, he said, "One investigation leads to something else.
"Users get their drugs from more than one source. When we take them into custody, we try to convince them it's in their best interests to cooperate with us and identify all of their sources."
Baujan said, "I want to thank the Attorney General's Office for being committed to drug enforcement in our area. We have a lot of challenges here in Monroe County and it helps to know we have the A.G.'s support."
D'Andrea said, "The Commonwealth has forgotten the Constitution exists. They seized evidence and gathered information without just cause.
"They used cooperating witnesses," he said. "People will say anything if you offer them sweet-enough deals."
Finn, Janaro and Terry have been arraigned and released on $50,000 unsecured bail. They are scheduled for a district court preliminary hearing at a future date.

Q: What is the best way of getting known as an arranger outside of your immediate area? Also separate question, what's the best way to arrange an effective intro? What are some strategies arrangers use that will catch the audience's attention?
~ William
A: Hi William.
Well, first the bad news for you (but the good news for a cappella in general): There are literally thousands if not tens of thousands of contemporary a cappella arrangers nowadays. This is a good thing because there is nothing that fits a group better than a custom tailored arrangement, but it also means that whereas many groups have at least one in-house arranger, people who are looking to arrange for other groups are up against a great deal of competition.
My advice is to start locally by arranging for groups that are in your area, and include a coaching session with your arrangement so you can make sure it sounds amazing. This way you'll get better at arranging for a variety of groups, and the word will begin to spread. From locally you can then focus on branching out regionally, a bit further afield, always meeting with groups when possible. And throughout this process post rehearsal and performance videos with your name mentioned as arranger. This will help your name spread, and reputation is everything.
Beyond this, and it should go without saying: deliver music before the deadline, be quick to respond to calls and emails, and generally be easy to work with.
As for a great introduction to a song, my biggest suggestion is that you don't start an arrangement by working on the intro. Arrange most everything else: chorus, verses, bridge… then return to the intro, perhaps grabbing the most impactful chunk of the arrangement, be it a piece of the chorus, the bridge figure without lyrics, etc. You can also consider weaving in another song if it fits thematically or stylistically, without being too cute about it. And, if all else fails, forget the introduction: start right on the first verse. In general a cappella works better when a song is distilled to is most essential elements, and as such if the intro isn't doing anything, lose it. Unless it's a signature part of the song (e.g. Under Pressure), chances are the audience won't miss it anyway.

Whats everyone wearing
right now?
Ive got on my Fountains Of Wayne Utopia Parkway tshirt with some green shorts with a number 24 on.
While scoffing a cheese and ham toastie
A pair of black boxer shorts.
I'm not eating anything.
Short sleeved black shirt, grey chinos.
Not an especially exciting combination.
Rancid lyrics:
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac
Yeah, the boy's a time bomb
So nothing like what you're wearing. Oh well.
If you wanna make the move
Then you better come in
It's just the ability to reason
That wears so thin
Living and dying and the stories that are true
Secrets to a good life is knowing when you're through
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac
Yeah, the boy's a time bomb
Lilac shirt - by tescos

text: The story of Saint George and the Dragon. Long ago, in the country of Libya, there was a city called Siliene. One day, a huge and powerful Dragon made its nest in a spring, which is where the people of Siliene used to go to fetch water. With the Dragon being in the spring, the people could only get water if they could get the Dragon to move. Now Dragons have a huge appetite, which means they eat a lot. So to get the Dragon to move, the people of Siliene would offer the Dragon a sheep. When the Dragon moved to eat the sheep, the people would hurriedly get water and leave, in case the Dragon was still hungry. In the story the dragon is a metaphor for the devil. Who was Saint George?

So the big movie right now (at least for comic book fans) is Watchmen, based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. Over at a forum I frequent, a vote was cast for a "book of the month" discussion and guess what won?
You got it.
I have mixed feelings about a graphic novel (basically, a big comic) as a book of the month discussion. I'm not adverse to reading them, I just don't believe they have as much meat as a real book. No, scratch that, they don't have as much meat as a real book. That's not to say they aren't enjoyable, or worthy of discussion, but if I'm going to discuss a book, I'd want to discuss a book. But since a vote was cast, and the yays had it, I went out and bought Watchmen.
What a waste of $20.
Watchmen is well written, for sure. And the art I can dig. Even the story is more than doable as it follows around a superhero outcast, Rorschach, as he tries to make sense of the brutal murder of The Comedian, another superhero killed in the first pages of the novel.
For all intents and purposes, Watchmen is a graphic novel I should like. With the exception of one character (Dr. Manhattan), none of the heroes in the book have superpowers. They are just strong, or athletic or whatever. Like Batman (hands down, my favorite hero) or The Punisher, they are just normal everyday folk — unlike that clown Superman, who is just lame. For the most part, any superhero with superpowers is lame, except those in Supreme Power.
In addition to the characters, the story is enough to interest me. It's a mystery, plain and simple. I should be all over that.
But where it fails, and fails miserably, is the action — or lack of. Nothing ever happens! Okay, so that's a mild exageration, but let's face it; comics are a visual medium. No matter what spin is ever placed on it, at the end of the day a comic is visual.
Sure, there is a lot of subtext in Watchmen — the pirate story was pretty well done — and Rorschach is pretty bad ass (even with his annoying Hulk-like speech pattern), but the story really needs to be more interesting than it is in order to justify all the accolades the comic gets. Hell, The Walking Dead doesn't have action every page, but it has one hell of a compelling story (although I will admit being biased, as I dig zombies more than tight wearing vigilantes).
Regardless of it all, I'll still see the movie. I won't rush out to the theaters, as I'm perfectly content on waiting for the DVD. I've heard a lot of good things about the movie, most importantly that the movie is more violent than the comic. That's good for me. Also, I'm curious to see Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach. He's done a lot of movies since I first saw him, but he'll always be Kelly Leak from The Bad News Bears.

After completion of one of our leadership trainings, youth workers gain access to BAWT's extensive outdoor gear libraries. With three locations around the Bay, these libraries provide high quality outdoor equipment at no or low cost, therefore removing a key barrier to overnight camping.
BAWT gear is also available for rental to non-BAWT trained leaders who take youth outdoors.

I'm number 1 on Google!
What did the waitress and the guy she's been chasing all year both forget on Christmas Eve?
Because checking my site meter, I've a handful of hits looking for that; including three from Information Systems, U.S. House of Representatives. I should complain about them wasting my tax dollars, but at least they're not making any more laws. What's odd, is that while most of these searches are from the Virginia and DC area, I'm also getting dinged from Chicago and St. Paul. Not to try and decipher the sitemeter numbers, but this was interesting enough to notice. I should also mention that someone showed up yesterday looking for penguin recipes. I wish I could have helped, lord knows I tried.
Couple more comments:
1. Cranberries. They forgot cranberries.
2. The group is "The Waitresses." Nowhere in the song does it say how the singer earns her living.
3. Based on 2, the question is invalid and unanswerable. Claim "trick question!"
4. I'm losing a lot of traffic after December 25. Over the past couple weeks, most of my hits have been for Christmas Wrapping and Kirsty MacColl and the Pogues.
5. I did get a few for King Kong and Dinner and a Movie, but I guess these weren't as humorous as I thought they were.

Hello "No Fretss" It seems we are on the same page. I also studied with Gisela Depkat and
miss being able to contact her. When I learned about Nancy Green and heard her in concert and
on her recordings, I immediately make the same connection. But the really weird thing is that
today (July 27, 2012) is the first time I have seen your post. Get this...my car's license plate
reads "No Frets". How coincidental is that? Pat Fisher = email@example.com
I've finally found a cellist who plays as wonderfully as my teacher, Gisela Depkat. I can't
get enough of Nancy's recorded music. She electrifies me and hopefully thousands of other
listeners. Her technique and interpretation are astounding. She has incredible power and
has gathered even more steam with the passage of time. She's one of the world's very best cellists. Hooray for Nancy Green!

Now Blagojevich should rescind the Burris nomination since the US Senate has tainted his appointment and postponed the law by not seating him.
Blago's next move -- to throw the corrupt fish-headed politicians into full flatulence frenzy -- would be then to appoint a REPUBLICAN to take 0bama's old Senate seat.
Frankly, what does Blago have to lose?

Hello to all my sweet friends out there... Real quick, I have a little message for all the Men out there. Women, go ahead and turn your laptop screen towards your hubby and point right here... It's okay, trust me - I got you!
Men, yes you... hi there... lean in a little closer - I'm going to let you in on a little secret. For Christmas, your wife wants a Starbox Subscription. Wait, wait - hear me out. I'm going to save you money fellas, yes that's right! I'm going to keep extra money in your wallet. You see... Starlooks is fine quality makeup and for a little tiny price tag of $15 a month, the postman is going to deliver a pretty box filled with 3 to 4 full size products that if purchased separately could run you in the upwards of say, ***SPOILER ALERT*** $99 (as that's the value of the upcoming December Starbox). See, I'm trying to help you keep $84 in your pocket AND keep a smile on your wife's sweet face. Hello - it's a win - win! Just think of how much money I'm saving you over the course of a year... yes, yes - I know - you're welcome. Simply go right here: Starlook's Starbox Beauty Subscription Service and make your wife a happy wife this Holiday Season. Okay, that's all... you may pass the laptop back to your lovely wife as she is dying to see what surprises Starlooks sent out this month!
Just in time for Halloween Starlooks Presents... "See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil" Starbox for October. This glamorous assortment includes...
"Peddle" Pigment luster (g214)
"Gold Dust" Eyeliner Pencil (j223)
"Masquerade" Lipstick (p142)
Eye Rock Eye Tattoos
I love purple and I have never owned a pigment before. When I found out that I could add this purple pigment to my other makeup products, I was one happy girl. Now I can make all my favorite makeup purple, sweet! I couldn't wait to try it out and show it off for you! Trust me when I say it only takes a little which means this container is going to last you a long time. While I was at, I wanted to try my Gold Dust Eyeliner Pencil, too...
I stopped using pencil liners a long, long time ago and have used liquid eyeliner most all of my makeup wearing life. I quit using them because I couldn't find one that went on smoothly and lasted. I have to admit, I really enjoyed how soft this eyeliner pencil was going on. It was very easy to administer the color in all the right places. I never would have chosen gold on my own as I tend to use very dark and vivid liner around my eyes. But, I love trying new makeup and I now want this liner in violet or dark brown. What do you think? It's fun trying new hues and mixing things up.
Although I love makeup, I'm not big on lipstick. Hand me lip gloss with a little stain and I am one happy girl. I've always wanted to be a fan of lipstick, but every brand I've tried in the past has left my lips dry and I always find myself wiping it off and having to "fix" my lips with chapstick. My experience with the Masquerade Lipstick by Starlooks went well. I found the creamy texture and moisture to be quite pleasant and I really loved the color. I wouldn't mind wearing it again as it is a really nice quality, but I am very addicted to my lip glosses and it might be hard for me to make the change.
I especially love my bonus eye tattoos just in time for Halloween! I am saving them for a costume party and can't wait to give them a try. They look really easy to apply, just like a temporary tattoo. Plus, I love that I can't smear them like I can eye makeup. So they're perfect for a fun night out!
Month after month Starbox has provided me with quality makeup that I really love. I genuinely love opening up my box to see what incredible goodies they have sent this time. To see my previous Starbox Reviews, please click on the links below...

I received the above products through Sublime Media Connection in exchange for an honest review. In no way was I asked to give a positive review.

Babies are so lovely when they sleep. Even more so when you find the most adorable printed and proudly Canadian sleep sack thanks to a total Boss Mom at Wee Urban.
I had the pleasure of meeting Holly when she first started selling what has become my favourite 'grobag' at the One Of A Kind show in Toronto back in 2012. I was pregnant with my first child and obviously was in the market to purchase all things baby. I purchased 2 of her bags and both have been passed down to my daughters. I love that my children haven't been able to sneak out of these bags. The snaps aren't located on the shoulders (like most grow bags) which makes the bag stronger than the average Toddler. You can easily do a diaper change through the bottom zipper. I love the simple prints and gender neutral colours. This particular print has been on repeat for a few years in our house.
I was out and about in Nanaimo yesterday when I came across a new pattern from Wee Urban – black and white phrases about dreams. LOVE! I haven't been able to track down more of this brilliant print online, but I will do some digging around to see what else I can find out. These are great gifts for new moms! They don't know how great these little bags are for the child that constantly kicks off their blankets!
A bit about Wee Urban – they are designed in Toronto and are crafted abroad. They are a huge supporter of one of my favourite charities – Kiva and look after all of their workers / partners by ensuring production is ISO regulated, fair trade certified and comply with regional safe working practices and safety standards. Boom. Businesses doing better. I love it. Be sure to give them a follow on Instagram: @weeurban

our history...
Miss Illinois Through the Years
By Daryl Schabinger
The Miss Illinois Pageant began in 1927, and was sponsored by The Great States Theater Corporation. While the first contest was held 73 years ago, 2001 marked the 62nd annual pageant to actually be held. The pageant was discontinued in 1928 due to the Depression and revived in 1936 for one year. Since 1942, the Miss Illinois pageant has been an annual event.
Let's take a look back:
The 1920's and 1930's:
Lois Delander (Miss Joliet) was selected as the very first Miss Illinois on August 7 at the Oriental Theater in Chicago. She was selected from 10 contestants who had won their local titles at theaters across Illinois during the summer of 1927. Lois was awarded a complete wardrobe for her trip to Atlantic City and a five-week vaudeville contract valued at five-hundred dollars. Illinois was honored for the first time when Lois was crowned Miss America 1927. The 16-year-old Joliet High School student was deluged with offers from motion picture and stage producers.
As worldwide financial panic and economic depression swept across America in the late 1920's, the Miss America and Miss Illinois Pageants were considered to be extravagances that could no longer be afforded. The Miss Illinois Pageant was revived for a short time starting in 1936. At the conclusion of the Illinois State Fair, Illinois Governor Horner awarded the title to Virginia Moeller (Miss Springfield) from the 86 contestants that competed that year. The crowds were so exuberant at the contest that Virginia needed the assistance of police to escort her home!
The War Years
Many state competitions were canceled for the duration of World War II, and the Miss Illinois Pageant was re-established in 1942. Patricia Hayes (Miss Rochelle) was named Miss Illinois 1942 at the Hub Theater in Rochelle. The talent competition became part of the competition in 1942. Patricia presented a dramatic reading "Patterns" to help her earn the state title. She was selected as one of the ten finalists in Atlantic City.
Illinois experienced a severe gasoline shortage in 1943 due to World
War II. The state pageant was held in LaSalle, and only contestants from the northern part of the state competed. Dorothy Kohrt of Ottawa won the title. In 1944, Betty King of Bloomington captured the Miss Illinois honors in LaSalle and Illinois once again was honored when Betty placed among the ten finalists in Atlantic City.
By the mid-1940's, the Illinois Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees) began their involvement with the Miss Illinois Pageant. Many Illinois communities from Rockford to Cairo would host the Miss Illinois Pageant. The Joliet chapter hosted the Miss Illinois competition from 1945 to 1947. In 1946, Patricia Frye of Pekin became the first Miss Illinois to return from the Miss America Pageant with a college scholarship. As a semi-finalist in Atlantic City, Patricia earned a $1,000 scholarship that she utilized at Bradley University in Peoria. By the end of the 1940's, the Miss America Pageant was no longer just a "beauty pageant." The scholarship foundation began to attract even more talented and career-oriented young women from across Illinois.
The Fifties
By 1950, all contestants competing at the state level had won their local titles at competitions sponsored by the Illinois Junior Chamber of Commerce. In 1951, Doris King (Miss Harvey) was awarded a Nash Rambler as part of her prize package as Miss Illinois. Miss Illinois 1954 Patsy Bruce (Miss Carbondale), became the first Miss Illinois to compete on live television as the Miss America finals were televised coast-to-coast on ABC-TV. Patsy was selected as Miss Congeniality and was awarded a $1,000 scholarship.
The Sixties and Seventies
In the beginning of the 60's, Miss Vandalia Vicki Nutter proved you didn't have to be a vocalist or instrumentalist in order to become Miss Illinois. For the talent segment, she presented fashions she had designed.
By 1961, the Miss Illinois Pageant had become a four-night event, with contestants divided into preliminary groups. For the first time, preliminary talent and swimsuit winners were named at the conclusion of each night of preliminaries; a tradition that continues today.
Miss Illinois 1962 (Miss Carbondale) Pam Gilbert was crowned in a giant tent that was erected in Elk Grove Village for the 1962 competition. She was a awarded a preliminary swimsuit award in Atlantic City. The Miss Illinois Pageant made its home in Aurora from 1967 to 1980. By 1967, the Miss lllinois Pageant was televised in color by WGN-TV as the naming of Miss Illinois 1967 (Miss Fox Valley Park) Kathryn Myers was seen by thousands in homes all across America!
In 1968, a blonde trampolinist named Judith Anne Ford (Miss Boone County) was awarded the Miss Illinois title. Judi went on to become a double preliminary winner in Atlantic City, and for the second time in history, brought the Miss America title home to Illinois! She would not be the last!

Oh dear, I will be accused of digressing, though I don't think I am, I am only expanding on a few things mentioned earlier.
We are fortunate in having James Patrick as hospitality secretary, and here he is in full flow directing operations. I'm sorry I chopped his hand off in this picture, but I will include the pic as it shows how he has
|James, Eryl and David
|John Barton
But this is supposed to be a collection of pictures, and already I have lapsed into becoming too talkative as usual, so without further ado I will try to provide only the minimum of blurb around the pictures.
Here is John Barton, alerting us to the existence of pithy ethical advice in the OT and what might be thought about its origin and more. John Goldingay paid us a rare and welcome visit, and we were glad of his thoughts on memory in the OT; always asking questions that

Summing up papers is not my strong point, and we await the abstracts in the next Bulletin with interest, and are pleased that SOTS members' papers are usually presenting a small part of an issue which the giver explores in much depth and detail in their published or yet-to-be-published work, and of course there were many more than I can mention here.
|"Always carry a camera, always"
|Brian Mastin and Chris Thomson
The outing was a great success, as it seems that an interest in the Bible often goes with an interest in steam trains; it's certainly almost de rigeur for Anglican clergymen to have such an interest, and it seems to extend further than this as the evidence from SOTS shows, and one or two of my pics show members fingers pointing at I-know-not-what parts of the machinery involved. So here are a couple of pics which seem to sum up some of the delights for us.
So I end with a pic of myself and my teddy bear 'Bear Aloft', who owes his name to the kindness of friends, especially SOTS friends, who have helped me get through some difficult times lately, for which many thanks, and I can assure you that I am on the up and soon to move into a little house where I am planning a garden (in tandem with a proposed textile effort) influenced by the Song of Songs. If you have any advice or thoughts to offer me about this, then please do send it to me at email@example.com as usual. The idea came from the fact that the book is high in mentions of species of plants, and so I felt that its author was possibly a gardener (but certainly did not have a Sony Walkman) or knowledgeable about plants, as well as a writer.
I shall now flee to an evening at the nearby Littleborough Townswomen's Guild, and hope that this blog entry does not contain too many errors about anyone else's work. It was certainly a superb Meeting, and we look forward to many more, God willing as I say.

As the holiday shopping season gets underway, consumers plan to spend slightly less than last year-after a post 9/11 surge in 2001-but their spirits seem improved.
Consumers' outlooks have improved in the last month. With consumer spending making up two-thirds of the economy, that's encouraging news for the recovery.
AdMarket 50
Taking a break: For the week ending Nov. 29, 2002, AdMarket stocks saw little activity, in keeping with the relaxed pace of business during the holiday period: they were up by less than 1%. Thirty-three AdMarket stocks were up while 17 were down.
WPP Group entered the AdMarket winner's circle, despite having its credit rating downgraded by Fitch Ratings in London on Thanksgiving Day. According to reports, Fitch dropped WPP's rating to BBB+ from A- due to worries that the holding company may have difficulties repaying its debts. Fitch said that WPP has been putting pressure on its cash flow after making 50 acquisitions in the past two years, including that of Young & Rubicam for $4.7 billion in stock. Fitch indicated it may slam WPP's credit rating again. Nonetheless, WPP rose 7%, to $41.62 . Havas also rose 14% to $5.54.

Lomography's Got Talent16 19 Share Tweet
Do you want to take part in an utmost secret project, so secret that we now can't even tell what you will have to do?
Ladies and gentlemen, as we all know there are three things that make us lomographers happy: wonderful fresh shots, piggypoints and a little fame. What about getting all three in one go? THE ultimate chance?
YES! And you can be part of it.
But it won't be easy. There will be a jury, judging mercilessly, the full range of emotions as seen on this type of TV shows, happiness and joy, nervous breakdowns and tears, hope and deliverance.
And what is it all about? Singing, dancing, acting as a model, yodeling… ? No. Lomography, images, film… ? Yes.
But we won't reveal the details just yet, it's a secret. If you want to be part of a small circle of conspirators, all you need to do is send an application if you meet the following requirements:
- you are an enthusiastic analogue aficionado
- you like to spend your time taking pictures and take your camera(s) everywhere you go
- you own a flatbed scanner with the ability to scan negatives or at least have access to one
All assumptions about upcoming events, products, website updates etc. are speculative and will be left uncommented!

Coming to the US from Canada recently, I was pushed into a deep sea of funding-related new variables. In Canada there is much to do in terms of funding appropriate (ABA) treatment for autism, but our battles are with the Education Department and other Governmental funding sources. We do not have to deal with insurance companies and that has added significant burden on service providers, although of course it has opened up access to appropriate treatment to families who would not otherwise have been able to fund ABA. The fact is that all behavior analysts have to be aware of what is happening and do their best to become and remain informed.
In the US, as bills are passed in each State, that mandate coverage of autism treatment by Medicare and private insurance companies, a mad rush to figure out who should and can be funded, for what, when, how, etc started.
We are lucky to count with the advocacy of Autism Speaks* and the tireless work of Lorri Unumb, who plays a major role in advocating for the inclusion of ABA in those laws, and incredibly competent and well-intentioned behavior analysts, who have been working diligently to make sure behavior analysts are at the forefront of the important decisions about what constitutes appropriate treatment and appropriate ABA.
Without the work of these leading behavior analysts, we would not be able to have a chance to establish appropriate guidelines and eventually standards, and to be the ones to determine what appropriate treatment is and who can be a behavior analyst allowed to practice in autism treatment! They are many, they are at every ABAI and ABAI Chapter conference you attend (make sure you do!), and they are speaking for us. We should all be supporting the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) and the Association of Professional Behavior Analysts (APBA) for their efforts, and following them for information. The BACB, although stating that they do not plan on putting efforts into coming up with similar efforts, recently made available an excellent guide Health Plan Coverage of Applied Behavior Analysis Treatment
for Autism Spectrum Disorder, which for now should be the bible for parents, professionals, and service providers, and insurance companies of course.
The Autism Special Interest Group is also about to finalize an update to their Consumer Guidelines.

Hare polish illuminated life collection
I have been chomping at the bit to swatch these...yes i know its only a day but thats like 20 polish years isn't it?? So story over, lets get down to business. Ohhhh.....firstly let me tell you i am a HUGE Hare polish fan, i have acquired THE most stunning polishes from previous hare collections and as you may have guessed i was beyond excited to get these, so i am dying to tell you these were all faultless like every other hare i have. Sadly i cant do that. I will start with my Nemesis of this collection.
Electric flame..ahhhh i could cry at this because the colour is STUNNING...the glitter in this is STUNNING....everything about it screams beautifulness in the bottle. For me this polish had one of the most difficult applications i have had for a while. It was really thick and very streaky and left my nails looking quite bumpy. Now i am going to try this again with a touch of thinner in it so i will report back when i have tried it...i would also wear a base colour with this as even with 3 thick coats it wasn't opaque enough. As i said the colour and glitter were awesome, in the flesh the colour of this is a light coral peach colour with cool purple and blue fine glass flecks. This had all the makings to be a super polish, it is pretty and feminine and it beaks my heart not to give this a better review.
Now on to bury the hatchetfish. This is the one that caught my eye straight away...i love a brown polish and i love glitter so we were onto a winner straight away. This one was better application although another that is in definite need of some thinner as again it was very thick. Aside from the thickness this is a stunning polish. It is a light brown jelly base packed with blue glass flecks. This is super super stunning and a sure winner if you like a good brown like me! I layered this over Glitter gal suede.
Awwww now we have medusa luminosa. Now i have stacks of purple and for that reason i wasn't as enthusiastic about this one...not because i didn't see the stunning beauty of it even on the screen because i did, its just simply because i thought i would have one similar. Nope i don't, and let me tell you after not really being blown away by the previous two due to the application issues this was the saver....Hare quality had indeed been restored...oh my!!! It is a stunner....this made me smile again indeed. Filled with pink, blue and gold glass flecks packed into a super bright and pretty purple base this gave me renewed hope for the collection!! I adore it. application was brilliant, just the right consistency. I think any purple fan should own this one, take it from me you will need it in your collection!
now here we have atolla. Gasp at the beauty of this one...another that restores my faith...and as a pink polish lover i definitely don't own one like this! This is one of the prettiest pinks i own and really does glow It is a girly fuchsia colour, again like the others it is packed with blue glass flecks which truely do illuminate the whole look of this. Once again application was beautiful on this. I cant say how much i loved this polish...once again any pink polish fan should own this as a matter of urgency as it really is a stack more prettier in the flesh....and i can't believe this is still in stock on Llarowe??! after the rest sold out so spectacularly this one was the winner of the collection for me!
So now you guys have it, the whole collection has been done for your viewing pleasure...what do you think?? i would be really interested to know if any of you guys have this collection and if you had any application issues....especially with electric flame. I wish i could have given this whole collection a whole 5 stars, electric flame really disheartened me......bury the hatchetfish almost had me back but the medusa luminosa and atolla were without doubt the stand out of the collection and despite my disappointment with electric flame i am still a huge hare fan!

I feel a lemming coming on! Methinks Medusa Luminosa & Atolla may have to come play at my house soon.ReplyDeleteReplies
inky you NEED these two, they are stunning!! xxxxDelete
Gorgeous swatches as always. I also got the entire collection. Have yet to wear then though...damn Halloween polishes :)ReplyDeleteReplies
hello dawn, they are beautiful polishes...i hope you dont have any issues like i did, if so a little thinner is all you need hun. glad you like my swatches hun xxxxxDelete
Oh God, not again... my wishlist has grown again - damn it! ;) And now I'm being absolutely serious, these are stunning and the swatches are great!ReplyDelete
And I totally understand squealing with delight - I had the same last week when I've bought entire China Glaze Holiday Joy collection :)Replies
as always agia thankyou for your lovely comments. These are beautiful polishes and the issue i had with electric flame was sorted out with a touch of seche restore and a decent base colour. I suggest grabbing these on the next restock! (btw....i love the joy collection!!! ;) xxxxxDelete
Aside from your application issues, they ALL look like stunners to me. WIN!ReplyDelete
I also had major application issues with Bury the Hatchetfish. Hardes nail polish to apply EVER! I was so disappointed. Glad to know that other Hares have a better consistency.ReplyDelete
I so need hatchetfish and electric flame eek!ReplyDeleteReplies
hehe Kerrie, hopefully she will re stock soon and you manage to snag them.....these have gone in seconds of being on the site! xxxxDelete

i had big time application issues unfortunately with this collection. very thick and unmanageable.ReplyDelete

The trade came just two days after the Rockets acquired high profile sniper Reid Gardiner in a trade with the Prince Albert Raiders.
"We felt we needed to add a big physical forward and we're getting that in Carsen. A power forward is something we were lacking," said Rockets General Manager Bruce Hamilton. "Jake Kryski is the player that Calgary wanted in return so that's the price we had to pay."
Kryski was acquired from Kamloops prior to the start of this season. In his short stint with the Rockets he tallied 13 goals and 16 assists for 29 points along with 43 PIMS in 37 games.
The 6-foot-2 200 lb. power forward Twarynski has 10 goals and 11 assists for 21 points along with 42 PIMS in 36 games with the Hitmen this season. He played a total of 160 games for the Hitmen amassing 35 goals and 51 assists for 86 career WHL points.
Twarynski was taken 82nd overall in the 2016 NHL entry draft by the Philadelphia Flyers.
The Rockets will be awarded a third round draft pick if Twarynski does not return to the Rockets from NHL/AHL camps next season as a 20-year-old overage player.
Twarynski is expected to be in a Rockets uniform on Wednesday when they visit the Victoria Royals.
Fans will be able to see Twarynski in action at Prospera Place on January 18th when the Rockets host the Moose Jaw Warriors.

text: Ever since our owner's brand new Tesla Model S arrived at our headquarters, all of us "car guys" have been excited to find out how the car performed and what products we could get to improve it (if possible). While I haven't been handed the key just yet, our engineers have had time to carefully measure and develop 3D renderings of each wheel well and its suspension and braking components to help us develop guaranteed wheel (and wheel and tire) fitments for the car we know to work and perform perfectly. I have had the chance to speak with several Tesla owners in the last few months, and have been able to give them viable options for both "daily driver" wheels and tires, or dedicated snow tire and wheel packages (complete with the correct Tesla Tire Pressure Sensors) for when winter finally arrives. It will be my pleasure to leverage the technical expertise and real world knowledge Tire Rack has accumulated over thirty years in the business to help members of this forum get just the right wheel, tire and other products needed to build on the amazing platform that is the Tesla S. For reference, I've been with The Tire Rack for over eight years, and have had the opportunity to attend multiple driving schools across the country as well as utilize our own test track here all through the summers so I've had more than a little time outside the office and behind the wheel. With just a few exceptions, I've had a chance to drive on and test nearly every tire we sell as well as test various suspension and braking components to get a feel for what does what (and how well). Feel free to send me an email ([email protected]) with any concerns or questions on your Tesla (or other cars in your stable), but keep in mind that most questions regarding your Tesla may benefit other forum members as well, so please post on the forum first if at all possible. You can also check out our Upgrade Garage feature dedicated to the Model S at this link. Take advantage of our website to see how new wheels would look, or gain some insight from our Customer Survey results or Real World tests when considering new tires. Thanks !
