It's fun to see what spanking new designers come up with. But it's fascinating to explore how designers evolve over 40 years. And, quite frankly, it's rare.
Babette Pinsky may not be a household name but her line -- Babette -- has thrived over four decades in a business known for chewing up and spitting out creative types. Based in San Francisco, the line is available in 350 stores including Babette shops in San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Scottsdale, Arizona and Portland. (There's one in The Pearl district.) Babette has developed an expertise in manipulating fabrics.
Wait a minute. That makes her sound sneaky.
Babette and her team work with a sophisticated process of pleating, twisting, knotting and heat treating fabrics so that they maintain their shape. The result can be as familiar as skinny little wrinkles to an origami complexity. Then the fabrics are cut into classic, comfortable shapes.
Babette recently came out with a 48-page book called "Babette: Designing a Vision" that traces her fashion evolution from 1968 to present through photos and brief descriptions. In the foreward, artist Topher Delaney of San Francisco recalls buying her first Babette piece and thinking, "This piece of clothing . . . is intellectually interesting."
Sure beats the response to many lines which is, "Skanky!"
Delaney also writes that the clothes "always look like Babette and also, paradoxically, only like the woman who wears them."
That's a rare feat.
What: Book signing; "Babette: Designing a Vision" $25
Where: Babette shop
Address: 208 N.W. 13th Avenue (at Davis Street), Portland
When: Saturday, June 21

A Novel of Fate
Fashion student Lillith Zeremba wants to be noticed. She also strives to be the total opposite of her mother Beth, a famous feminist professor. This good Jewish girl and sworn virgin from the Upper West Side gets more than she wished for when she walks into the “ageless” sunglass-wearing Baron Rock’s classroom in Janice Eidus’s The Last Jewish Virgin: A Novel of Fate, an entertaining, original, and psychologically creepy variation of immortal love…for while Lillith suspects it, readers know right away that Baron is a vampire.
Usually, ageless male vampires and vulnerable, pure young women always find each other in remote places like the Pacific Northwest. Eidus gives city girls an undead fantasy of their own by setting her novel in contemporary New York City. Exact dates aren’t provided because vampires do not adhere to mortal time, but the story takes place before gentrification of the Lower East Side, a neighborhood Lillith finds intimidating. Then, the Dads are almost always the primary caregivers and vampire hunters. Beth is a key character because beneath her hardened interior is a hopeless romantic, something as irresistible to Baron as her naïve daughter. Finally, there is always less-menacing boyfriend material. Lillith’s classmate Colin Abel is a sweet Jewish blond boy who wants to change the world through art.
What makes The Last Jewish Virgin a fun read is how Eidus plays around with vampire lore. Lillith’s half-hearted attempt researching vampires brings her to the video store and the unnamed-yet-recognizable version of Dracula starring a Byronic rather than Satanic Frank Langella:
Tall and dashing in his swirling black cape, he broke into the virginal Miss Mina’s bedroom, standing above her as she offered him her enticing, swan-like neck, and while he looked at her with fiery eyes that commanded her to be his. And just like that, presto, she was a goner. I touched my own neck, remembering Mr. Rock’s unexpected, teasing kiss.
This feeds directly into her romantic fantasies. Had one of the Hammer Dracula films starring Christopher Lee or Murnau’s Nosferatu been available she might not be so enamored.
Or would she? The author never forgets that vampires are cruel. This is no sweet love story. Lillith’s first-person narration indicates that she is aware of what Baron is doing to her—and that she enjoys it. Baron’s treatment of Lillith as a life model and his endorsement of two female classmates bullying her are misogynistic, let alone cause for a harassment suit in ordinary circumstances. His mind games include disrupting her sleeping and eating patterns and leaving timely (vampires can make time work to their advantage) voicemails. The girl also finds herself walking long distances in a trance.
Readers will also enjoy how Eidus uses word games to tell the story. The heroine’s name is Hebrew for “demon of the night.” Depending on personal preference, the besotted Colin Abel has a name right out of the Old Testament, puritanical New England, or John Steinbeck’s East of Eden. Although nothing genteel happens to our heroine there, the Jane Austen-sounding Bennett Institute of Art and Design is a thinly veiled name for The Parsons School of Design. Best and most obvious of all is the juicy substitution of “Baron” for “Count.”
The Last Jewish Virgin: A Novel of Fate is a welcome addition to vampire literature. The only complaint readers might have is that this tight, vivid narrative leaves no possibility for a sequel.

Brain Tumor occurs when abnormal cells form within the brain. The symptoms of Brain stem tumors vary greatly and can include Ataxia, Cranial Nerve Palsy, headaches, problems with speech and swallowing, hearing loss, weakness, Hemiparesis, vision abnormalities, ptosis, and behavioural changes. Another possible symptom is vomiting. Any brain tumor is inherently serious and life-threatening because of its invasive and infiltrative character in the limited space of the Intracranial Cavity.

Metastasis is defined as the process by which Cancer cells spread to other parts of the body. Metastatic Cancer is called as Stage IV cancer among many stages of it. Metastasis is one of the hallmarks of cancer distinguishing it from benign tumors. And it can spread to distant parts of the body.
- Track 4-1Metastases neoplastic
- Track 4-2Meningitis
- Track 4-3Metastases base of skull
Meningioma is referred to as slow growing Brain tumors, but their origin is not from the Brain tissue. Meningiomas are often benign tumors arising from the Arachnoidal cells of Meninges of the brain and spinal cord.
Meningiomas usually grow inward slowly, causing pressure on the Brain or Spinal cord. They interfere with the normal functions of the Brain after reaching a large size. They represent about one-third of all Primary Brain Tumors and occur most frequently in middle-aged women.

A Brainstem glioma is an aggressive and dangerous Cancerous Glioma Tumor in the brainstem which starts in the Brain or Spinal cord tissue and typically spread throughout the Nervous System. It is more diagnosed in children and young adults under the age of twenty. Symptoms of Brainstem glioma can develop slowly and subtly and may go unnoticed for months. A sudden onset of symptoms tends to occur with more rapidly growing, high-grade tumors. In other cases, the symptoms may arise abruptly. Unlike most Brain tumors, Brainstem Glioma is not often treated with Neurosurgery due to complications in vital parts of the Brain. Without treatment, the life expectancy is typically a few months from the time of diagnosis.

In low-grade Gliomas, stereotactically guided conformal Radiotherapy should lead to a significant reduction in Radiation-associated late toxicity, while in selected groups of high-grade Gliomas the use of adjuvant or Neo-adjuvant Chemotherapy may improve survival. In primitive Neuroectodermal Tumours Prognostic Biological markers have been identified that are undergoing prospective evaluation. In infants the use of post-surgical chemotherapy alone may allow the postponing of Radiotherapy in selected cases. For patients with localized Medulloblastomas a new standard treatment is emerging that uses reduced-dose Craniospinal Radiotherapy followed by Platinum-based chemotherapy, while in Supratentorial primitive Neuroectodermal tumours future treatment will be aimed at improving local control.

The upcoming implementation of a Neurosurgical ablation device that provides controlled therapy for brain lesions those are difficult to reach and treat. This tool, will allow us to introduce the probe into the tumor and destroy it without having to perform a Surgical Operation or Craniotomy.
Recent advances have made treatment for brain tumors much safer and more successful. Some of these newer techniques include:
•Antiseizure/Antiepileptic Drugs (AEDs)
•Surgery: The goal of surgery in the treatment of metastasis is to maximally remove tumor while leaving patients with good function
•Radiosurgery: A non-invasive technique that delivers numerous narrow, precisely aimed, highly focused beams of ionizing radiation that converge at a specific point.
•Radiation therapy: X-rays and other forms of radiation can destroy tumor cells or delay tumor growth.
•Chemotherapy: The use of drugs to kill rapidly dividing cells. It can be taken orally or intravenously.
•Targeted therapy: The focus on a specific element of a cell, such as molecules or pathways required for cell growth, in order to use them as a target.

The following are the steps involved in Brain Tumor Diagnosis;
· A neurological exam: A neurological exam may include, among other things, checking your vision, hearing, balance, coordination, strength and reflexes. Difficulty in one or more areas may provide clues about the part of your brain that could be affected by a brain tumor.
· Imaging tests: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is commonly used to help diagnose brain tumors. In some cases a dye may be injected through a vein in your arm during your MRI study.
A number of specialized MRI scan components — including functional MRI, perfusion MRI and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
· Tests to find cancer in other parts of your body: If it's suspected that your Brain tumor may be a result of Cancer that has spread from another area of your body, your doctor may recommend tests and procedures to determine where the cancer originated. One example might be a CT scan of the chest to look for signs of Lung Cancer.
· Collecting and testing a sample of abnormal tissue (biopsy): A Biopsy can be performed as part of an operation to remove the Brain tumor, or a Biopsy can be performed using a needle.
A stereotactic needle biopsy may be done for brain tumors in hard to reach areas or very sensitive areas within your brain that might be damaged by a more extensive operation. Your Neurosurgeon drills a small hole into your skull. A thin needle is then inserted through the hole. Tissue is removed using the needle, which is frequently guided by CT or MRI scanning.
The Biopsy sample is then viewed under a microscope to determine if it is cancerous or benign. This information is critical to establish a diagnosis and prognosis and, most importantly, in guiding treatment.

:: Fiber Connector Termination Good quality is Extremely Crucial
Connector termination high quality is very critical in fiber communications because they can have an effect on the quality of the light-weight transmission. Bad polished connectors add substantial insertion decline and back again reflection which can make your fiber community malfunction.
All present fiber connectors require to comply with a established of business requirements and technical specs. This has been a large development given that the early nineties. Connector termination employed to be a guide and labor intense approach but that has been altered since much more automated connector sharpening tools and polishing devices introduced by different producers.
:: The Sprucing Products Development
In the nineties, fiber connector sprucing was still manually done by a single solitary person. But the explosion of optic programs needed significantly greater efficiency. At first, cable assembly houses (fiber optic patch cable manufacturers) just included much more operators but that nonetheless could not capture up with the desire. Even right now, handbook sprucing nevertheless plays a function. That is when automated sharpening machine was created.
The computerized fiber connector polishing equipment generates large volumes of connectors in a steady way. All connectors can satisfy a set of stringent specs in a repeatable way. This method is also price efficient since labor is substantially lowered.
The connector polishing machine employs a particular sharpening movement and is examined by the maker to fulfill industry requirements. The result is large levels of consistency from good deal to great deal.
:: The seven Queries to Inquire When Deciding on Your Fiber Connector Sharpening Gear
If you are contemplating getting an automated connector sharpening equipment, you need to at minimum do your homework dependent on the subsequent seven questions.
one. Is the polisher straightforward to established up and work?
2. Is fiber optic equipment to change the holders for different types of connectors?
3. Is it simple to accessibility the sharpening platens?
four. Does the polisher transfer in this sort of a movement so that all connector sides are similarly polished?
5. Can you alter the sprucing stress?
6. If you need to have a custom connector holder, can the producer supply it to you?
seven. Does the maker have an business regular compliance take a look at report?
It is usually a very best concept to examine at the very least 3 distinct types from 3 vendors so you can select the ideal a single that meets your particular need.

Alfaro added, “The guy who brought the order in was like, ‘This is for the president of the United States … I just started cooking.”
If the presidential food request wasn’t stressful enough, Alfaro said security personnel stood by the grill and examined him prepping Obama’s burger.
But the cook may never know what Obama thought of his $8 meaty meal. Chris Manjourides, the owner of the sandwich spot, said that Obama took his burger and fries to-go because “he wanted something to eat in the car.”
“He didn’t have time,” Manjourides said, “He was starving.”

NUCLEAR plants dotted around Britain’s coast could become lethal with rising sea levels brought by global warming. Nuclear engineer John Large says, “This is a catastrophe waiting to happen. Over the next 100 years there will be sea rises and no one has prepared.” All but one of Britain’s nuclear plants is on the coast. Global warming means sea levels could rise by up to 60 centimetres during the next 50 years.

BATON ROUGE - The charity hospital along Airline Highway will soon be gone as the state works on securing a contract to begin demolition of Earl K. Long.
The hospital was closed in April 2013, when the state dismantled its charity hospital system.
It will cost about $2 million to remove harmful asbestos and lead and knock the building down. Bids from contractors were collected last Wednesday and one will be selected later this month with hopes to begin the demolition process in early 2015.
EKL has been a Baton Rouge landmark since 1968. The year before it closed about 26,000 patients were admitted to the emergency room. Since, those people have transfered to other clinics and hospitals for care.
"It was a very important facility for health care for many, many years," said Facility Planning Director Mark Moses. "As health care moves in a different direction, the facility is outdated. We need to go ahead and move forward with the demolition so that site can be used for something else for the community."
A tall, barbed wire fence and padlock keep the old hospital secure. A security detail watches over the building day and night. Most of the doors and windows are boarded up. Inside, the building is empty except for desks, sinks and movie props used during the filming of Fantastic Four.
State Sen. Sharon Broome has been on the project since the decision was made to close it. She said renovating the hospital was not practical because of the amount of asbestos in the walls and ceilings.
"The sky is the limit in terms of possibilities to bring economic growth and development to our community through this property," said Broome.
There will be input collected from the community for what's next. Meetings will be scheduled in January to help create a vision for this area of Baton Rouge.
Demolition is expected to take nine months.

Law firm financing has become an increasingly complex and interesting aspect of the legal business. From personal injury litigation loans, to the financing of the Gawker lawsuit by a Silicon Valley billionaire, it appears many want to get a piece of a lawsuit these days. However, the Second Circuit recently affirmed a district court ruling that law firms are still forbidden fruit for third-party financiers.
In a case originally brought in 2011, the Second Circuit recently affirmed a district court decision that non-lawyers are prohibited from investing in law firms and sharing legal fees under the New York Rules of Professional Conduct. Citing a rule first drafted by the ABA and instituted nationwide, the Second Circuit found that any claims by the law firm plaintiff that it was losing the ability to hire new attorneys, expand operations and improve technology were both hypothetical and marginal, and did not infringe on the lawyers’ First Amendment rights. Although the result itself is not surprising, the continuing argument that this rule ensures lawyers are shielded from outside influence does raise some questions in the modern legal landscape.
Specifically, the premise that a non-lawyer partner in a law firm would improperly influence fellow attorneys’ decisions is curious given that third-party financing is widely accepted in the United States. To be sure, those individuals will typically contract with the client, not the attorney, which may avoid a violation of the strict language of the rule. But is this merely a distinction without a difference?
Is there less chance of improper influence when a financier invests in a single case, rather than a law firm generally? Reports were abound that the financier in the Gawker case had a vendetta against the website, and sought to craft the litigation to avoid insurance coverage and bankrupt the company. True or not, it may come as a surprise to some that such individual financing is presumptively acceptable, while a more removed investor in a law firm is not. Nevertheless, it appears litigation financing is full steam ahead while non-lawyer partners remain dead in their tracks.

Greene's letters to editors, unlike those of Evelyn Waugh or Bernard Shaw, seldom trade on the author's public figure--but are most fun when they do, as when Greene wins prizes for his pseudonymous entries in newspaper contests based on parodies of Graham Greene. (He later cannibalized two of the parodies for his own work.) Greene was a former sub-editor of The Times and when ending his four-year stint there was told that, if he stayed and were patient, he might well become correspondence editor. Greene later said that if he had stayed, "my whole life would have been changed disastrously for the better." For American readers, though, he will be most readable here when defending his cuts in Shaw for Otto Preminger's film St. Joan, and when standing up for rights of British audiences to see Pygmalion when a ten-year ban on the play was put in force to keep My Fair Lady on the boards. Other lively moments arise when he takes on journalists who misquote or falsify his words during interviews (but does anyone really remember the Penelope Gilliatt brouhaha in The New Yorker?). He is most sharp-tongued about US foreign policy in Central America and the Far East. Also of interest are his bouts with censors, especially the BBC, which wanted nine cuts in his play The Complaisant Lovers. Greene took this as censorship, but the BBC said it was to bring the play in at 90 minutes broadcast time. He also often defends himself against unfair statements about his Catholicism. Many of his political letters, however, will be of small interest to American readers of his fiction. Less waspish than Waugh, less brilliant than Shaw.

I had a dream. A dream where I felt like I was completely awake the entire time. A dream where… it felt real.
I remembered that I was inside a library reading a book. The book that I was reading at the time was one called 【Lolis of the World – Volume VII】. A gallery of pictures that I’ve painstakingly worked hard to collect throughout my entire life.
I heaved a relieved sigh as a wide grin was drawn on my face. I was joyfully reminiscing over the moments from where my collection had started from. The pains, the suffering, all of the heartbreak and agony. It was such a pleasant thing to remember them once again.
Everything was fine the way it was, save for my neighbour giggling beside me.
“You seem to be having fun. May I ask what you are reading?”
In front of me was a red haired woman who was smiling at me. With mysterious emerald eyes and shoulder length red hair, my neighbor was neatly dressed, giving off the impression of a young maiden. I didn’t want to answer her but before I even had a chance to reply, she began to follow up after her question.
“Oh, I didn’t mean to disturb you. I was just curious as to what was making you smile so brightly. But you don’t have to force yourself. To begin with, it was my fault for intruding.” she said.
I felt bad after the woman politely apologized, so I decided to converse with her.
“This book. It’s interesting. You see this young girl is a part of my proudest collecti- Ah” I restrained myself and hid my agitation by smiling at her. “…it’s filled with wonderful memories.”
“Ara, is that so? I’m quite happy for you.” Then, the woman stood up.
Surprised by her sudden action, I asked her, bewildered.
“Eh? Why are you standing? Toilet?”
The woman didn’t answer, her eyes widened as if I said something out of place. “Pfft. You’re really interesting. But that’s not it. My time is up. I’ve got to go.”
” I see. Be careful then.” I said, gladly- enjoying the prospect of being able to indulge with my collections in peace once more. However, it was interrupted by the woman’s next word.
“Ah, before I forget, I think you should talk to the librarian over at the counter. I’ve noticed that she’s been gazing at you for a long time.”
The woman pointed her right finger towards the librarian booth, alerting said person into resuming her work. I also looked towards the counter, witnessing the same scene.
“Really? Why would anyone have- Oh!“
“Fufu. What a wonderful expression. See you again, Cue~chan.”
I couldn’t give a reply. Not because the woman called me by a strange nickname – I wasn’t even bothered how she knew my name- but because of the heavenly figure standing behind the counter.
I placed the book down as I fixed my eyes on her. She was adorably looking at me with a cute, heart-throbbing expression. Until now, I have yet to notice that this young girl was a beauty in her own terms. The fascination that I was feeling overflowed, causing me to be unable to prevent an audible voice of amazement escape my lips as I unwittingly approached her.
“Ooooh! MARVELOUS! Long, silver, silky hair tied in ponytails as those pink ribbons brings out more of it’s charm. What a splendid combination! Yabeee, I’m getting a nosebleed.”
I spoke, treating the incredibly beautiful young girl as if she were goddess manifested.
“Her white kimono is also astounding! Those clothes tracing the ideal curves of a true beauty. And the way she uses those hands seem to convey something with the addition of those alluring eyes! Oooh! Nani kore? (TL: What the heck is this?) Is she a secret weapon of this library?! I can’t get enough of her, especially when that fantastic smile of hers is shown on her face! How can my day get any better that this? What a splendid Silver Loli! “
Before I knew it, I was already standing in front of the counter. She continued to stare at me with upturned eyes. Those eyes that yearned for something from me.
“You’re so slow. I was waiting for quite a long time, you know?” she said, pouting.
I did not know how to answer her. She’d been waiting for me this whole time?
“I invited you to this library because you were bored. You seek adventure. You seek more. That’s why you came here, right?”
“Why I came here?” I repeated the silver loli’s words. It was true that I’ve been yearning for something, but I couldn’t quite put it into words. That’s why I had left it unconsciously untouched for a long time.
The young girl then extended her hand to me.
“Come, I know a place that will answer your problems, and I assure you. I assure you, it’ll be fun.”
I couldn’t answer back. There were a lot of confusing things rummaging inside my mind. So I decided to speak the first thing that came to my head.
I got down on my knees as I gently took her hands. “Will you please marry me?”
“Eh? Eeeeeeeeeeeh?!” The silver loli was flabbergasted, so much so that she grew speechless. Of course she would. Being proposed to by someone is by far one of the most memorable moments one would cherish if it happened to them. “B-but we’re both women, you know? That’s impossible.”
“Listen well, Silver-chan. Love is filled with endless possibilities. I’m a Loli, and you’re a girl. There is no rule stating that a Loli and a girl is forbidden of marriage.”
“Huh? Loli? What are you talkin-“
I extended my arms without waiting for her words to finish, grasping for her with my loving hands. “Saa, let’s get married, my Silver-chan!”
“Wait! How did the situation become like this!”
“Oiiiiideeee! Ufufufufufu!” (TL: Come here)
“Wha-! Stop! Don’t come close to me! I would really scream if I had to you know?”
“Ara ara, what a cute Loli.” I patted her head without asking for her permission.
“Hyaa! D…don’t pat. If you do that….uuuuuu.”
Before I knew it, Silver-chan was making a joyous expression, as if her mood had been repaired by the patting.
“At times like these, you say ‘Thank You’, but I don’t mind. You’re so cute after all.” I instinctively hugged Silver-chan, and patted her again.
“Cho! You’re crushing me!” She loosened my grip as I saw her pleased expression again. “Ah! Shimatta. I got sucked into her pace. You! Don’t ever think I’ll be glad just because of this! Because I’m not, alright?!”
“Hai hai.” I continued the patting.
“Ah, I give up. I’ll just bring you along with me.”
With a flick of her finger, a small white portal appeared before us.
“Hm? Where are you taking me Silver-chan?”
“To a world where you will have fun. Shall we begin your adventure, O~ne~e~chan?”
“Hai!” While clinging to Silver-chan, we went inside the portal and disappeared in a flash, not realizing that Silver-chan may have made the worst mistake in her life.

The U.S. Congress just passed President Obama's trillion-ish dollar "stimulus" package. The more the public heard about the bill, the less they seemed to like it, so the Democrats rammed that puppy through as quickly as possible with as little time as they could manage for the public to digest it. They only released the final text of the bill one day before the vote.
But the damned thing's over 1,000 pages. It's not just that there was not sufficient time to debate or consider the bill. As Representative Tom Price (R-Georgia) put it succinctly, "it is physically impossible for any member [of Congress] to have read this bill."
I find it difficult to believe that even a good liberal honestly thinks this is an acceptable way of doing business. Even if you think that deficit stimulus spending is a good idea for our economy — as if the years of Bush deficits don't disprove that idea — surely you can't think it a good idea to commit to a trillion dollars of spending before anyone has even read the bill.
Here's what I would consider to be a truly (i.e. not facetious or satirically) modest proposal to ever so gently insert some small and simple measure of sanity back into our legislative process; this seems important enough to merit a constitutional amendment. Some smart lawyer might improve upon my layman's language, but how about something real simple like:
It shall be the inviolable right of any member of the Senate or House of Representatives to have the full text of any bill read aloud on the floor of Congress before a final vote for passage.
Obviously this would play somewhat into the hands of right-wing types with something like this bill, but that's only because the process is so severely out of control. If you think the government should drop one septillion dollars into subsidizing electric cars/glorified golf carts, that's fine. I think we just did that, but who knows? No one has read the thing.

According to a CNBC report, Amazon is reorganizing its grocery store operations, resulting in job cuts at Fresh stores. And The Washington Post says those job cuts are in the hundreds.
“Like any retailer, we periodically assess our stores’ organizational needs and make decisions to increase efficiencies for our employees and deliver customer value,” said Amazon spokesperson Jessica Martin in a statement to CNBC.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has been vocal about pausing Fresh expansion plans and working to cut costs. He said earlier in the year that a set of experiments and concepts are being worked on across a number of Amazon Fresh stores, and the hope is to eventually continue with an expansion strategy. However, so far this year Amazon has closed stores and eliminated positions.
Currently there are 44 Amazon Fresh stores in eight states and Washington, D.C.

For those of you in the U.S., many of you are likely already familiar with Netflix. It’s an online way to watch movies and many television programs. Netflix has now come to Canada, and so I signed up.
After searching around, I wasn’t seeing the programs that I wanted to see as “available”. I found this annoying. However, after talking with a lovely gentleman in the Netflix customer service, I’ve learned that the licensing comes and goes on each one regularly, so things will be available at some point. And after more time searching about, I’ve found a lot more programs that I either hadn’t heard of but want to see, or those I’ve wanted to see but haven’t yet. This means I’ve been having fun catching up on many programs (both TV & film) from the last decade, much of it from the BBC. This is both wonderful, and dangerous – I can end up watching quite a bit of the Netflix, ’cause it’s so easy (and cheap)!
During December, especially in the quiet evening hours, and while I was sick (but not sleeping), I was spending time knitting and watching programs through Netflix. I caught up on six of the seven seasons of Monarch of the Glen, a British comedy/drama based in Scotland, which was quite fun (I love all things Scottish, as some of you might know). I found several BBC television series and period-piece movies that were right up my alley. One of my new favourites was one I knew of, but hadn’t watched from start to finish: North & South. It’s a four-part mini-series based on Elizabeth Gaskell’s novel of the same name. I may have to blog about this movie separately, because I am so in love! It is a fabulous period-piece drama, with some great actors. The soundtrack/score is lovely too. I’ve ordered a copy on DVD for big screen viewing, to add to my wee collection of period-piece films.
I’m looking forward to what else I might discover through Netflix!

Baumgartner made over $1 million USD from the personalized video sharing service this year, Cameo creator Steve Galanis revealed on The New York Times' Sway podcast (via BuzzFeed). The Office actor charges $195 per video, as of this writing."It’s his persona," said Galanis when asked what makes Baumgartner so successful on Cameo. "He really takes a lot of pride in his craftsmanship of the videos... He’s reliable, he turns them around quickly, and the content is really funny. And in general comedians tend to do best." The Office is leaving Netflix, its longtime streaming home, at the end of 2020. The beloved sitcom will move to NBCUniversal's Peacock platform beginning January 1, 2021. Seasons 1 and 2 will be available to stream for free (with ads); Seasons 3-9 will only be available with a paid subscription — $5 per month with ads, or $10 without.

Viewers took notice of this Oreo cookie Super Bowl spot – which features a fiery debate (literally) over which part of the Oreo cookie is the best part – the cookie – or the cream?
Given the things that manage to make it onto your average episode of Two And A Half Men, it'[s hard to believe CBS would shy away from anything racy – but apparently, this uncensored version of the spot features a lot more tongue than they were comfortable with. And with that – a warning – there’s a LOT of tongue.
Budweiser has a winner in this Super Bowl ad – featuring a Clydesdale and the man who raised him. A must see!
I won’t lie – I understand the idea behind the upcoming “Must. Have. Wheat Thins.” campaign. While I’m assured there are no habit forming drugs laced into those crackers – they are pretty darn addictive. Their new Super Bowl ad has an over the top comedic slant, and a big stunt attached.
The folks at Mercedes Benz get it- Kate Upton turns guys’ heads. So why WOULDN’T they have her wash one of their cars – in slow motion – in a Super Bowl Ad? And yet… they’re in on the joke. (She barely touches the car, and she’s pretty covered up by ‘car wash video’ standards.) Will guys be laughing – or disappointed?
At first, it looks like a film crew hopes to capture the Washing machine against a snowy white backdrop. But a bear stumbles onto the scene, and takes EVERYONE by surprise with what happens next.
The leotard, the huge box, the dancers in the background. The. Whole. Thing. See why Courteney Cox’s 1985 commercial for Tampax Tampons is fantastic.
“How soon is too soon? Not soon enough!” says this vintage ad from the Soda Pop Board of America. How times change!
Perhaps one of the most memorable moments of Lifetime’s premiere of “Liz & Dick” was the advertisement for Dance Moms – featuring polarizing dance coach Abby Lee Miller putting her girls through a ruthless performance of “Maniac.” Funny and clever.
Electronics maker LG wanted to prove that their high definition IPS monitors are super clear. So they rigged the floor of an elevator with them, and let the fun begin. (Fun for them, not the passengers.) Very clever!
Gender inequality is the norm in Saudi Arabia, where women aren’t allowed to drive, and must be covered in public. Now, a chilling IKEA advertisement that has photoshopped out of all the women drives home how disturbingly real the problem is.
Move over American Girl doll, you think you’re a modern gal with your hair salon and coordinated outfits? You obviously haven’t met this doll from Korea. “Kongsunyi” passes gass and has a disturbingly detailed pooping and flushing feature. And oddly – she still manages to be adorable.
Without giving too much away, this ad really opens your eyes about a world without fabric for clothes, carpets, blankets and more. It’s an oddly weird, thought provoking mind trip.
Axe Body Spray has, um… axed their cheesy commercials portraying their fragrance as one that render women unable to resist you, in favor of a whimsical tale of high school love – as told by Kiefer Sutherland.
Remember viral star Sweet Brown? She was a worldwide hit for her appearance on the news – proclaiming ‘ain’t nobody got time for that’ when she woke up to find her apartment complex on fire. Now, watch her commercial!
For anyone concerned that Britney Spears wouldn’t have the chops to critique contestants on “The X Factor,” think again. In a new 17 second promo, the pop icon is looking gorgeous and working a sharp tongue.

The deal officially brought an end to the tenure of the player that near the end of this season was somehow known more for his off-the-field remarks than for his poor performances on it.
President of baseball operations Larry Beinfest summed up the deal more politely than most fans likely did.
"This should be a positive change for Heath and the Marlins," President of Baseball Operations Larry Beinfest said, in a statement. "After a disappointing 2012 season, Heath gets a fresh start and this move gives us clarity as we begin our offseason roster improvement."
Now that Bell will no longer be donning a Miami Marlins' uniform, Beinfest and general manager Michael Hill must now decide how to re-tool a bullpen that struggled mightily at times in 2012.
Hopefully, the club learned their lesson when shelling out Bell's huge deal last winter, as they must now find low-cost solutions for the 'pen moving forward. The current bullpen looks remarkably different than it did even as recently as Opening Day following the in-season trades of Randy Choate, Edward Mujica, and now Bell.
As it stands right now, Steve Cishek appears to be a lock to close games next season, with Ryan Webb and Mike Dunn helping to round out the remainder of the late-inning arms. Chad Guadin is a free agent, as is Carlos Zambrano, who could possibly come back to fill a long relief or spot starter role if he fails to generate much interest from other clubs. Wade LeBlanc figures to get a look at a spot in the starting rotation during spring training, while also having the chance to be a valuable lefty specialist/long reliever.
One precedent that the Marlins can look to for building a cost-effective bullpen is that of the Seattle Mariners. Aside from Brandon League, who was traded to the Dodgers at the July deadline, the M's bullpen didn't feature a single big-money arm, instead containing a smorgasbord of hard-throwing draft picks and scrap heap free agents. Tom WIlhelmsen, Lucas Luetge, Carter Capps and Stephen Pryor may not be household names, but they helped make up one of the best young bullpens in all of baseball that also happens to be, perhaps most importantly, extremely cost-effective.
The Marlins could and likely will take a look at some veteran bullpen arms in free agency, but don't expect any multi-year deals. Names like Mark Lowe, Jeremy Accardo and Mike Gonzalez could make some sense in the short term, and it wouldn't surprise me if those were the types of names we'll be hearing liked to Miami in the coming months.
With how much turnover we saw on the Marlins' roster over the course of 2012, it's impossible to predict what it'll look like on Opening Day 2013. But with Heath Bell now out of the picture, the organization can set their sights on re-tooling the bullpen that became a major source of frustration for their fans this season. There may not be an exact science or blueprint for building a good, low-cost bullpen, but it has certainly been done before. And if the Marlins want to remain relevant in what has becoming an increasingly competitive NL East in the future, they'll have to find a way to get it done.

We’re close enough to count the hours until the big meal of the year…Thanksgiving. The weather here in Middle Tennessee will be terrific for the grand gathering…partly sunny with the afternoon high in the upper 60s. Well above average for this time of year.
I think we can all agree that the weather impacts the way you feel. But did you know that it can also effect the Thanksgiving meal? Yes it can, from the turkey to the cranberry sauce to the sweet potato casserole. I have been gathering some fun facts about food and the weather.
Turkeys are hearty little creatures. They are able to survive sub-zero temperatures. Wild Turkeys live in some of the chilliest parts of the United States. As a matter of fact, during spells of wintry weather, turkeys can settle in roosting areas without food for up to two weeks, able to survive losing up to 40% of their body weight! Snow presents the biggest problem. It’s hard for them to forage for food in more than 6″ of snow.
My daughters favorite side is cranberry sauce or salad. A sunny year can mean bigger cranberries on your table! Cranberries don’t like temperatures over 85°F, so they are found in more moderate climate zones. You usually don’t find them much farther south than New Jersey.
Illinois is the leading producer of US pumpkins. But we know they are abundant in Middle Tennessee. When my kiddos were younger we were regulars at Grant’s Farm in Franklin. Too much rain can cause pumpkin crops to rot and make them more susceptible to infection and disease. Dry, hot weather can also cause a smaller pumpkin harvest. Lack of water during droughts can also result in smaller and lighter-weight pumpkins.
One of my favorites is sweet potatoes. Our neighboring state to the east, North Carolina is the leading producer of US sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes thrive in warmer weather, needing a long frost-free season to reach full maturity. Heavy rain can be a problem for them as it can prevent sweet potato roots from forming properly or may cause the potatoes to split.
May you and your family and/or friends have a wonderful time together this Thanksgiving where ever you may be. We can all be thankful for good weather for the occasion and good weather that produced the food we are enjoying. God bless.
Thanks to my friends at NEEP for help with the weather/food facts.


More information about the FBI investigation that led to a raid several weeks ago at the Safe Streets outpost in Belair-Edison could emerge in January.
Baltimore Assistant State’s Attorney Ryan Kiger asked for a postponement in the case of David Caldwell, 37, of Southwest Baltimore, a site supervisor at Safe Streets who had been scheduled to stand trial on Wednesday in the District Court of Maryland for Baltimore City on a charge of illegally possessing ammunition, because a search warrant remains under seal.
Law enforcement searched a home on Kermit Court near Annor Court in Mount Winans looking for Caldwell on Oct. 26 — the same day as the raid at the Safe Streets site in Belair-Edison — and reported recovering items including a handgun with nine rounds.
Kiger said he was informed that the search warrant is expected to be unsealed “at some point” in January.
District Judge Kent J. Boles Jr. agreed to continue the trial until Jan. 3 but stated that he would not grant further postponements.
“We’re not going to drag this out,” Boles said.
Safe Streets is the city’s flagship anti-violence program and operates across 10 outposts in some of the most violent neighborhoods in Baltimore. Staff members are unarmed and work to mediate — or “interrupt” — conflicts.
The FBI previously reported that it raided 15 locations that day but the full extent of the investigation and how much it involves Safe Streets remains unclear.
John Cox, Caldwell’s attorney, said he did not fault the assistant state’s attorney but protested the postponement.
Cox said his client’s right to due process should not be trampled on for three months.
“Your honor, this is ridiculous,” Cox said. “This should not be postponed. We would object.”
LifeBridge Health’s Center for Hope — which manages the Safe Streets outpost in Belair-Edison, and is part of the health care system that’s aimed at addressing violence as a public health issue — reported that Caldwell remains on unpaid leave per policy pending the adjudication of the criminal case. Meanwhile, two other employees returned on Oct. 31, performing administrative duties off site. One left a few weeks ago “for reasons unrelated to the current situation”
Operations remain suspended at the site.
Caldwell is free on $50,000 bond, according to court records.

Jeff Branscome writes about Spotsylvania County.
Cole’s BPOL Bill Passes Crossover
Del. Mark Cole listened to his friends in Stafford County rather than those in Spotsylvania County when it came to crafting his BPOL Bill.
Spotsylvania supervisors made that clear recently during a board meeting, and some said they thought Cole wasn’t being helpful with his bill, but rather he was being too political.
Here is information from a Cole press release:
Cole’s HB 57 would impose a freeze on the Business, Professional, and Occupational License (BPOL) tax. The BPOL tax was originally imposed as a way to raise funds to pay for the War of 1812.
“It is a very unfair tax because it is based on a business’ gross receipts not on income or profits; so a company could be struggling or losing money and still have to pay the tax,” Cole explained. “BPOL can become a job killer, especially for small business.”
But it’s not just a freeze on the BPOL. Any locality that has not enacted a BPOL tax will never be able to if the bill passes.
This bill perplexed members of the Spotsy BOS. They asked Cole to submit a bill that would make the tax based on net profits, and not gross receipts. Stafford County supervisors repealed the BPOL Tax and this bill is obviously something the majority on the Stafford board requested.
Some Spotsylvania supervisors, such as Jerry Logan and Hap Connors, said they aren’t fans of the way BPOL works, but they do understand that losing the tax would mean millions of lost revenue. In Fiscal Year 2008, the BPOL tax generated more than $661.8 million for the counties, cities, and towns that imposed the tax. The BPOL tax is imposed in all 39 cities, 47 of the 95 counties, and many of the towns of the Commonwealth.
Here is what Spotsylvania supervisors asked for: Support Code amendment language giving Spotsylvania County and other jurisdictions the authority to determine whether to use gross or net figures when Business, Professional and Occupational License (BPOL) taxes are imposed.

Steroid receptor coactivator 1 (SRC-1) is a transcriptional coactivator not only for steroid receptors, such as androgen receptor and estrogen receptor, but also for other transcription factors. SRC-1 has been shown to play an important role in the progression of breast cancer and prostate cancer. However, its role in liver cancer progression remains unknown. In this study, we report that SRC-1 was overexpressed in 25 (62.5%) of 40 human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) specimens. Down-regulation of SRC-1 decreased HCC cell proliferation and impaired tumor maintenance in HCC xenografts. Knockdown of SRC-1 reduced protein levels of the proliferation marker proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and the oncogene c-Myc. Knockout of SRC-1 in mice reduced diethylnitrosamine/CCl4-induced tumor formation in the liver and the expression of c-Myc and PCNA in liver tumors. SRC-1 promoted c-Myc expression, at least in part, by directly interacting with β-catenin to enhance Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Consistent with these results, the expression of SRC-1 was positively correlated with PCNA expression in human HCC specimens, and the expression levels of c-Myc in SRC-1-positive HCC specimens were higher than in SRC-1-negative HCC specimens. In addition, SRC-1 and SRC-3 were co-overexpressed in 47.5% of HCC specimens, and they cooperated to promote HCC cell proliferation. Simultaneous down-regulation of SRC-1 and SRC-3 dramatically inhibited HCC cell proliferation. Our results demonstrate that SRC-1 promotes HCC progression by enhancing Wnt/β-catenin signaling and suggest that SRC-1 is a potential therapeutic molecular target for HCC. © 2015 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.

Gay Chicago Schools CEO Leaving
BY Advocate.com Editors
November 04 2010 7:05 PM ET
Ron Huberman, the first openly gay CEO of the Chicago public school system, has confirmed he’s leaving the post, the Chicago Tribunereports.
Media outlets reported last month that Huberman was stepping down, but he denied that his departure was imminent. He announced Wednesday, however, that November 29 will be his last day.
Huberman, who oversaw reforms as well as teacher layoffs in the time he headed the nation’s third-largest school district, said he did not wish to serve under a new mayoral administration. Mayor Richard M. Daley has decided not to seek reelection in 2011 after having been in office since 1989.
“Ron expressed to the mayor his desire not to work for another administration, and they discussed an appropriate time for Ron to step down,” Daley spokeswoman Jodi Kawada told the Tribune. Daley will appoint a replacement before Huberman’s last day, she said.
Huberman, a former police officer and head of the Chicago Transit Authority, became schools CEO early in 2009 when his predecessor, Arne Duncan, was named President Obama’s secretary of education.
