A task force made up of Tri-City fire officials and law enforcement, along with federal agents, hasn't yet decided what sparked the fire, which has been labeled "undetermined."
An autopsy performed on Sandy St. George, 26, failed to show what killed her. Further tests were ordered to get "a definitive answer," which were expected to take two to three months to complete, the coroner said at the time.
"We do have an ongoing investigation, and because it is ongoing there won't be any further comment regarding it," McElroy said.
Detectives looking into the fire are waiting for "items from the (Washington State Patrol) crime lab and also the coroner's findings" before moving forward on that, McElroy said.
The chief would not further discuss the investigation into sexual allegations.
Thomas St. George, 27, did not return a phone call seeking comment Tuesday.
He has three sons, ages 1-4, and reportedly hired the teen baby sitter in July to watch the kids and help keep the house clean. The boys were staying with a family friend and weren't home when the 5:30 a.m. fire killed their mother.
St. George said he managed to escape after he was awakened by a barking dog. He was treated afterward at Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland for smoke inhalation.
Court documents filed last month in Benton County Superior Court by the girl's parents claim St. George and their 16-year-old daughter have been involved in a relationship since last year.
The parents filed on April 18 for a restraining order to keep St. George away from them, their daughter and any of their other children.
They said in the order that St. George and the girl were found "snuggling" in the hospital while he recovered after the fire and that he "refuses to comply with our wishes to abandon all contact with our daughter," even though he had been asked several times by "detectives, pastors, lawyers and ourselves."
The documents also claim St. George had added the girl to his bank account and is giving the teen money for a legal fight to be free from her parents' authority. They also say he has given her a car, laptop and cell phones to secretly communicate while police investigate the fire, and that he has told people the girl was kicked out of her home when she actually ran away and reportedly was found by police at his house.
But on his Facebook page Monday night, St. George posted a lengthy statement he titled "seek the truth befor (sic) you accuse." He said his wife was aware of the bank account and it was set up so she could transfer money to the girl for babysitting and the girl could repay them for the car.
St. George's Facebook statement added: "I wish I had died in that fire every minute. I wish I could have saved her, I wish I didn't passout maybe I could have done something different. ... I am not saying (the teen) was not close to my Family, because that be a lie, we DIDN'T have a sexual relationship."
The girl and her parents are not being named by the Herald because the case involves potential sexual abuse.
In the restraining order, the parents wrote, "Prior to all that is currently happening, Thomas was told on several occasions that his constant attention to our daughter was inappropriate and should cease, but he has never respected that request."
A temporary order was signed at 8:46 a.m. that same day by Judge Carrie Runge. Then last Friday, Court Commissioner Jerri Potts approved a permanent order good through April 2012.
The same day the parents filed for a restraining order, St. George sought his own protection order against the girl. He claimed she was continuing to text and call his work cell phone, despite requests for her to stop.
"I understand she just lost her best friend, my wife, but I have to work," he wrote. "I only wish to have this order for 90 days until she can deal with her friend's loss."
However, St. George left the courthouse before his petition could be reviewed and never returned, so Judge Cameron Mitchell late that afternoon denied the temporary antiharassment order and dismissed the case.
Meanwhile, the girl is seeking emancipation from her parents. A petition was filed April 7 and arguments were made April 22 before Judge Vic VanderSchoor, but court records show it was continued to a later date with no ruling.
Her lawyer, Moe Spencer of Kennewick, could not be reached Tuesday.
The documents state that the girl is home-schooled and has cared for herself, including making medical appointments and shopping for clothes, for years because of a stressful and unpleasant situation at home. She told the court she owns two vehicles but is trying to sell one, and has a number of jobs such as cleaning house and baby-sitting "for different people on an as-needed basis" so she can support herself.
The girl also was an independent contractor with the Tri-City Herald as a newspaper carrier until she quit her job last week.In text messages to the Herald in late March, the girl said she had been in a relationship with St. George for about seven months, beginning when she was 15 years old.
She also wrote that it was a sexual relationship, that St. George had given her jewelry, including a ring she wore on her left hand, and that she treated the St. George children as if they were her own.
The girl said in one message that Sandy St. George knew her husband and the baby sitter "were extremely close but didn't know we were this close." She also said Thomas St. George was "trying to fix his marriage."
A couple of weeks prior to the fire, the girl texted that she "completly (sic) gave up and told him that he's marrief (sic) to Sandy and he is hers for as long as she wants. He was taking her on that camping trip to tell her he hasn't been faithfull (sic) to her. ... He felt like he needed to be honest and had accepted the fact that i wasn't going to be his ..."
The Herald took the information to prosecutors and police because the messages referred to an alleged sexual relationship between a minor and an adult.
However, the girl denied any sexual involvement and claims in her emancipation petition that detectives interviewing her about St. George were "trying to trick me into saying stuff."
"They told me it would make Thomas' case look better if I said we did something and that he couldn't get in trouble for it 'cause I am 16," she wrote to the court. "After about 3-4 hours of them trying to get me to talk I sarcastically told them we had sex "in the house and in all of their vehicles." I was just trying to get them to stop. Now my parents and the police won't leave (me) alone. He didn't do anything to me he loves his wife more then (sic) anyone I know."
The girl further claimed that her parents were trying to force her to lie and inaccurately tell police that St. George did something to her.
"What I told them was only to get them to leave me alone because they were pressuring me and telling me what they wanted to hear ...," she said. "I enter under oath that this statements are true, that Thomas St. George did not touch or have sex with me. And I do not wish to be pressured to say he did."
The girl's mother on Tuesday declined to talk about the allegations, telling the Herald that it already has caused enough trouble for the family and "we do not want to make it any worse."

Real estate investing is a long-term proposition. Don't think you are going to be a millionaire over night. It takes years of hard work and dedication in order to succeed in real estate business.
Hold any property at least one year before selling it. Capital gain taxes will be greatly reduced. Consider renting the property for at two or three years.
The rental income generated will help you to properly repair and renovate the property. Many investors purchased properties in the middle of real estate boom with no money down and no equity. If you are going to buy any real estate and want to know about the us tax for canadians, you can search it online.
These investors were thinking of flipping the homes fast and make a killing in the process. Many homes now in foreclosure are due to investors that were caught in the middle and now realize that real estate investing is very hard to time. Long term Miami real estate investing is the secret to a successful real estate career.
Lease Option – Never rent a property with a lease option to buy. Either sell or rent it straight out. A lease option usually is a disaster for both buyers and sellers.
The tenant will demand a large discount of the rent to go towards the down payment and closing the costs. The problem is that tenant will not buy the property at the end of the lease and the landlord/seller will have wasted a lot of money in rebates given to the tenant/buyer.

Елада () е една от византийските военноадминистративни единици – теми на Балканския полуостров.

Територията на тази тема е от съществено значение за изясняване обхвата на останалото гръцко население на Балкана, след края на т.нар. славянско заселване на Балканите. Образувана е в края на 7 век и продължава съществуването си до самия край на 12 век или до превземането на Константинопол от латините с налагането на франкократията на Балканите.

Първоначално темата обхваща бившата римска провинция Ахая. Темата е създадена в годините между 687 и 695 при първото управление на император Юстиниан II, вероятно в резултат от неговата антиславянска кампания през 688/689 г.  През 8 век византийските източници използват за обозначаване на темата по-скоро израза стратегия. Темата включвала и Тесалия, но не в съвременния обхват на тази област. В началото на 10 век седалището на стратега на темата било преместено в Лариса.  Това била и вероятната причина, след като властта в България преминала в комитопулите, те да започнат бойните действия срещу империята с обсада на Лариса.

През 800 г. Пелопонес е отделен от Елада в самостоятелна тема.  Темата, заедно с Пелопонес, е за последно подложена на българска атака по време на похода на Самуил, завършил катастрофално с битка при Сперхей. След падането на България под византийска власт, Елада и Пелопонес се управляват от общ стратег, а Тесалия е придадена към тема Тесалоники.

През 11-12 век като цяло обстановката в Елада е спокойна и населението ѝ просперира. Венецианците успяват да извоюват някои търговски привилегии в презморската търговия от и за района на тема Елада, но като цяло това е време на просперитет за населението ѝ. След края на четвъртия кръстоносен поход, обстановката се изменя коренно, създават се кръстоносни държави, а от старите византийски магнати в региона на бившата тема Елада най-успешен се оказва в новото време – Лъв Сгур.

Doesn't that undermine the essence of California – and of the church?
I don't think it does, but many will disagree – loudly – in the coming months. Many will mock those who believe in saints at all in the age of information and moral relativism.
Some beliefs we hold true can be hard to reconcile with facts. For example, another candidate for sainthood with deep ties to California is Archbishop Oscar Romero – the Salvadoran church leader murdered 35 years ago in March.
Bishop Romero was beatified at a mass in San Salvador last month – a mass attended by Jaime Soto, Catholic bishop of Sacramento. For the trip, Bishop Soto put aside his daily vocation as a church leader to become a kind of pilgrim paying homage to a moral hero of his.
It's an uncomfortable truth that Salvadoran government "death squads" backed by American foreign policy killed Romero.
Romero spoke truth to power about the atrocities committed during a Salvadoran civil war in which the U.S. was interested in preventing leftist forces of linking with Cuba and the Soviet Union. "It was one of the last acts of the Cold War," Soto said.
Romero called out President Jimmy Carter for supporting the Salvadoran "oligarchs" with money and military equipment. That support exacerbated bloodshed in a civil war that displaced thousands of Salvadorans in the 1980s.
The United Nations reported that 75,000 people were killed in El Salvador between 1979 and 1992. Countless others disappeared. Some of the displaced ended up in California, following a trail of despair. Once here, many young Salvadoran men turned to a very American form of crime – gang violence.
Violence begat violence: Some of the oppressed Salvadorans became oppressors of others and were sent to California prisons. When deported back to El Salvador, they took their American know-how with them.
Years later, organized crime in El Salvador contributed to a large numbers of kids traversing the length of Mexico to cross into California in a 2014 border surge that drew headlines. The story of the Central American kids flooding our border was framed as an offshoot of America's "immigration debate." What was overlooked was America's role in the decades-old cycle of violence that contributed to the crossings.
"I am very concerned by the news that the government of the United States is planning to further El Salvador's arms race by sending military equipment and advisers," Romero wrote to Carter on Feb. 17, 1980 – one month before he was murdered.
The past 35 years have proved Romero correct. Injustice in all its forms caused the displacement of thousands of innocent people from El Salvador to the United States. Doesn't this paint a different picture of President Carter, whose political legacy is steeped in his support for human rights?
Which narrative do we believe? The contradictions are many. When Romero's beatification was announced, one of those praising the decision was President Barack Obama – who represents the government that contributed to Salvadoran bloodshed.
Junipero Serra spread the word of God and along the way established missions where the Gospel was preached – an undertaking that also led to the establishment of roads and commerce that led to modern California. It was a miracle of the human spirit guided by divine inspiration – and there is no doubt that native people suffered along the way.
In El Salvador, many wealthy parties do not believe that Romero was a saint. As The Associated Press and other media outlets reported last month, some believe he was murdered for being too closely linked to leftist guerrillas – not for preaching the Gospel.
Which narrative do we believe? Serra paved the way for California. Romero warned of what happens to humanity when brother kills brother. Catholics believe that makes them saints even as many scoff or take deep offense.

Q: Classifying automorphisms using a group presentation. I'm new to group presentations and after some playing around with the concept, I've tried to find some relatively clear criteria in terms of the defining relations, that would tell us if a map is an automorphism. I would appreciate any input - whether my approach is correct, and whether there's some other more general or neater way.
Let $X=\{x_1,\dots ,x_n \}$ be a finite set and let $R$ be some finite set of relations on the alphabet of $X \cup X^{-1}$. Denote $G$ the group corresponding to these defining relations - $G= \langle X \mid R \rangle =F_X / N$, and presume $G$ is finite.
I think the following might be true:
Consider a map $f:X \rightarrow G$. If $\langle f(x_1),\dots ,f(x_n) \rangle = G$ and $f(x_i)$ satisfy the corresponding relations when stated in terms of $x_i$, then $f$ induces an automorphism.
Proof: If we show that $f$ induces homomorphism $\overline{f}$, it's surjective and hence an automorphism, so we only need to show that $f$ actually induces a homomorphism.
Consider the free group $F$ on $X$, and define $g:F \rightarrow G$ by $w \mapsto f(w_1)f(w_2)\dots f(w_m)$. We know that $f(x_i)$ satisfy the wanted relations, and so the $N \subseteq \ker (g)$. By the homomorphism theorem there exists a $\psi$, such that $\psi \circ \pi_N = g$. This $\psi$ is the wanted extension of $f$.
In some sense this seems excessive - we're dealing with finite groups. An idea of how to deal with this in finite groups:
Presume that any element in $G$ can be expressed as a word in $X$ of length at most $k$. Define a map $g$ from words of length $2k$ to $G$ induced by $f$. If we check that for any two words of length $2k$ that represent the same element in $G$, that their image is the same, we will be done.

I know that none of this is very formal, but I would mostly like to know whether my approach is sensible. I would also appreciate if someone linked some text that deals with this in a more formal way.

A: This question was dealt with in the comments by j.p. . I am summarising here so that it does not remain listed as unanswered.
By the assumption on $f$, we know that $\bar{f}$ will be surjective, and as we are mapping between finite groups, it must also be bijective.
As the $f(x_{i})$ satisfy the given relations, the extension to the map $\bar{f}$ is a homomorphism.

The Role of Genetics in Peripartum Cardiomyopathy
Yi Zhen Joan Lee, Daniel P. Judge
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is an uncommon complication of pregnancy. Early case reports identified overlap between familial dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and PPCM, although the degree of overlap is largely unknown. Other evidence supporting a contribution from gene mutations in PPCM includes familial occurrence, genome-wide association studies, variable prevalence among different regions and ethnicities, and more recent investigations of panels of genes for mutations among women with PPCM. Murine models implicate the role of altered metabolism and increased free radical stress to the heart during pregnancy, which seems to be involved in the pathogenesis of this condition. Although the true incidence of genetic cardiomyopathy is not yet known among women with PPCM, there is substantial evidence demonstrating that at least 10–15% of affected women have a clear genetic contribution to their condition. With this in mind, family counseling, cascade phenotypic screening, and clinical genetic testing should be considered among women with PPCM.

Richmond clinics to lose major funding source unless Congress votes tomorrow
Alex Matthews on September 29, 2017
Republicans recently failed again to repeal the Affordable Care Act. But if Congress doesn't act by tomorrow, Contra Costa County health clinics that serve thousands of low-income patients could still lose millions of dollars in federal funding.
In Richmond and surrounding communities, many low-income, Medi-Cal and uninsured patients rely heavily on the facilities that the Community Health Center Fund has supported since its initiation in 2010. But that source of support is set to expire tomorrow, September 30, unless Congress votes to extend it.
According to a statement from the Richmond-based advocacy group the Community Clinic Consortium, if the funding bill doesn't pass, clinics in Contra Costa County alone would lose more than $11 million, affecting over 12,000 patients.
The lost funding would impact four Richmond clinics, Laura Sheckler with the Community Clinic Consortium said: Three LifeLong Medical Centers (Brookside, Richmond, and Jenkins) and the North Richmond Center for Health would lose 70 percent of their federal grant funding unless Congress acts.
"LifeLong alone would stand to lose almost $6 million in federal grant funding on October 1," Sheckler said, adding that "$6 million to a community health center is a huge chunk of money."
The fund, which began in 2011, was a component of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and provided five years of funding for community health centers to expand and improve services. When the fund's expiration approached in 2015, Congress extended it for another two years. The deadline to re-up again is tomorrow.
This year, community health centers across the country received $5.1 billion from the fund. If Congress doesn't vote to extend that funding past its current sunset, the funding will drop to $1.5 billion next year.
Because the fund is for federally qualified health centers that serve primarily uninsured and MediCal patients, low-income groups are the most likely to be hit hard. After the Doctors Medical Center in San Pablo closed in 2015, the Community Health Center Fund was even more crucial to providers that serve low-income patients.
"The number of patients losing access to care would be like 5,000 patients," said Lucinda Bazile, deputy director of LifeLong Medical Clinics. "That's a clinic. That's a health center, basically."
Bazile also pointed out that for the "residually uninsured" populations in Contra Costa County–the people who remained without insurance even after the ACA's expansion of MediCal–these health centers are often the only place they can turn to for primary care.
According to a report from Contra Costa Health Services, more than a quarter of Richmond residents were uninsured as of 2011. (Because of the changes under the ACA, that number of uninsured residents is likely lower now than it was in 2011.)
According to Bazile, increased funding from the Community Health Center Fund helped LifeLong improve access in a number of ways, among them opening additional locations, remaining open for longer hours, and offering new services.
Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia pointed out that cutting funding from these providers could limit access to preventative care and result in more cost to taxpayers. "Cutting community health center funding reduces that access and results in more delayed medical care, which is more expensive and less effective," he said.
For now, Senate Republicans have given up the effort to repeal all or parts of the ACA, and safety-net providers are hoping the GOP will take notice of the imminent deadline to extend funding for community health centers. Though the fund was initiated as part of the ACA, it has bipartisan support, according to both congressional aides and advocates.
But some fear lawmakers will drag their feet.
"There's just so much noise happening in D.C. right now that getting [representatives] to pay attention to this and actually move forward with it is one of our challenges as advocates," Sheckler said.
While Bazile and Sheckler heard there were opportunities to vote and pass the funding retroactively if legislators miss the deadline, they aren't counting on Washington for anything.
"If they weren't able to get this funded by the thirtieth, they were hoping they would be able to do it very quickly after," Sheckler said. "But we don't have any assurances of that at this point."

Sotheby's 'Sealed Bid' sale offers $90 million Giacometti statue
Sotheby's have secured a monumental sculpture by Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti for an unconventional "sealed bid" sale. As part of the modern and contemporary art evening sales in New York, the confidential bidding ran from 20-27 October 2020.
Unlike traditional auctions, 'In Confidence: A Masterpiece by Alberto Giacometti'was held in complete secrecy. Sotheby's have not revealed the final purchase price either, in accordance with the seller's wishes. Curious collectors had to submit a private bid above the staggering reserve price of $90 million (£69.3 million).
"We conceived of this sale as a unique approach to this special object," explained Brooke Lampley, Sotheby's vice chairman of global fine arts. The competitive sale aimed "to embrace the worldwide appeal of such an iconic work by one of the masters of the 20th century with the privacy clients expect when bidding at this price level."
The winning bid must have exceeded the second highest by at least five percent, otherwise another round will take place.
'Grande femme I' is the largest sculpture ever made by Giacometti, standingat an impressive 2.68 metres tall. Cast in bronze, the sculpture's spindly form and tactile surface is a perfect example of Giacometti's iconic style. He made the piece between 1958 and 1960 as part of a series of monumental female figures for an unrealised outdoor installation at Chase Manhattan Plaza in New York.
"It's mesmerizing. It places us in the artwork. How you encounter it and how it makes you feel is so much part of the work and his intention," marvelled Lampley. She added that its vast size pushes viewers into a state of "reflection and an introspection about your place in the world."
Giacometti's sculpture also has a stellar provenance, having been owned by Chicago collector, Robert Mayer, and New York art dealer and former Major League Baseball team owner, Jeffrey Loria.
Its current owner, American billionaire businessman, Ron Perelman, has already sold a whopping $350 million (£269.3 million) worth of art during his career. Perelman recently announced his intentions to streamline his assets in response to the worldwide financial instability caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
In August, the 77-year-old said it was time "to clean house, simplify and give others the chance to enjoy some of the beautiful things that I've acquired just as I have for decades."
Bidding for works by Giacometti peaked in 2015, when 'L'homme au doigt' was purchased at Christie's New York for a record-breaking $141.3 million (£108.7 million). For now, we can only speculate as to how many millions a keen collector was willing to part with for 'Grande femme I'.

It's Always Israel's Fault
We live in a world where hijackers, primarily from Saudi Arabia, can commandeer two airline jets to destroy the World Trade Center and, within hours, the word is spread that this heinous act was really the work of the Israeli Mossad and Jewish terrorists.
We live in a world where, despite ceding Gaza to the Palestinians, a tunnel is built by Hamas to facilitate the killing of two Israeli soldiers and the kidnapping of a third, while rockets rain down daily, and yet Israel is ultimately blamed because it is the "occupier" and holds Palestinian terrorists in its jails.
We live in a world where Hezbollah can take two Israeli soldiers hostage a few days later and flee back across the border into Lebanon. Apparently, Israel's military withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000 was insufficient reason to cease such outrages.
This brings us to the UN's Division for Palestinian Rights, a branch of its Department of Political Affairs. Every year since 1977, it has organized a meeting in New York on November 29 to deplore the General Assembly's 1947 Partition Plan that was accepted by the Israelis and unanimously rejected by Arab states. The meeting is a platform for speeches denouncing the existence of Israel, all paid for by the UN.
When the body of the former UN Human Rights Commission stank so rankly of its own putrescence, it was rhetorically replaced with a Human Rights Council and on July 6, 2006 the Council ended its first-ever "special session" with a resolution condemning Israel for the latest problems in Gaza.
Briefly, Gaza is a sliver of land adjacent to the Egyptian border from which Israel withdrew, forcing its own citizens who lived there to abandon their homes and communities. The hope was that by ceding Gaza to the Palestinians, it would lead to peace. It led to the election of Hamas, a terrorist organization solely dedicated to the destruction of Israel.
When Israel retaliated against the latest provocation, demanding the return of the young soldier, it was the considered opinion of the UN Human Rights Council that Israel was guilty of causing a humanitarian problem. The vote was 29-11 with five abstentions.
The Council's resolution included a call "to dispatch an urgent fact-finding mission headed by the Special Rapporteur" et cetera, et cetera. The man selected for this mission is John Dugard and, as UN Watch, an independent non-governmental organization noted, he has held this position since 2001 and has the dubious record of never finding a single Palestinian guilty of anything. After a pro forma expression of sympathy for Corporal Gilad Shalit, the Hamas hostage, he added that he felt the same "for all Israel's young soldiers compelled to serve in the army of an occupying power."
According to UN Watch, this same "occupying power" has, over the past four years, been subject to more than 140 separate suicide attacks and 13,730 shooting attacks. Dugard failed to mention them.
The United States has been oddly quiet of late regarding events in Gaza, noting only that the kidnapping was a terrorist act. Perhaps the State Department has concluded there is nothing that can be done to persuade the Palestinians to act in a sane fashion.
The Israelis have tried every thing they could to mollify the Palestinians and the neighboring Arab states. They have done this despite having fought several wars that gained it the territories the Arabs want returned, along with all of the rest of Israel.
There is a lesson here somewhere for the Israelis and for the rest of the world. It has something to do with punishing one's enemies until they give up. It has something to do with the lesson the Holocaust should have taught them. You cannot negotiate with people who want to kill you.


Works fine for me. A bit more info would help us troubleshoot... file size, color space, etc.
If it was working before, go to Filter > Render > Lighting Effects and launch the dialog. You can play with it a bit, but Cancel out and you should see Tree, Flame, and Frame active again. Never had a problem with Cloud, though.
THANK YOU! Best suggestion ever!
No luck........just noticed lighting effects is greyed out too........ I had no problem with this until this update.
Have you deleted your preferences? Be sure to save any custom presets first where you can find them again. I'm having no difficulty with these features, either. Also, it will help, in case fresh Preferences doesn't work, if we know what OS you're on.
Thanks for the heads up on the preferences....problem solved. No, I didn't delete them, but....and this has happened before when there's been an update, it looks like when the update went in it "unchecked" the "Use graphics processor" under Performanced. A few other setting were changed as well and after I rechecked them, everything is now back to normal. Thanks for the help!

circa 1600[1]
The Lycée Pierre-Corneille (also known as the Lycée Corneille) is a state secondary school located in the city of Rouen, France.
Originally founded by the Jesuits in 1593,[2] the school was secularized following the 1905 French law on the Separation of the Churches and the State, and is today non-religious and ruled by the French Ministry of Education.
The school adopted the name of the playwright Pierre Corneille in 1873, and was classified as a national heritage site in December 1985.[3]
1 Origins
2.2 Professors
Nave of the former chapel, today an auditorium.[4]
The Protestant Reformation of the 16th century led the Archbishop of Rouen, Charles, Cardinal de Bourbon, to protect the influence of the Catholic Church by creating a school to educate the children of the aristocracy and bourgeoisie in accordance with the purest doctrinal principles of Roman Catholicism. The school started teaching in 1593 run by the Jesuits and known initially as the Collège de Bourbon.[2]
From 1595 to 1604 teaching ceased because of Jesuit expulsions. Between 1614 and 1631 the gatehouse and chapel were built. By 1662, the lycée had taught two thousand pupils.[2]
The chapel was opened in 1631 although foundation stone had been laid in 1614 by Marie de Médicis, the widow of King Henri IV of France. The chapel blends both late gothic and classical architectural styles in its fifty-two metre nave. It became a listed building in 1908.[2]
In 1762 the school became known as the Collège Royal after the Jesuits had been expelled from France. After the French Revolution it became associated with the 'Ecole Centrale' following the ideas of the Age of Enlightenment, and reducing study of humanities in favour of a broader-based curriculum.[2]
A class at the Lycée Pierre-Corneille, 1902. Artists Robert Antoine Pinchon (second row, right) and Marcel Duchamp (third row, left, out of focus). On Pinchon's right is very likely Pierre Dumont
After 1803 it became known as the 'Lycée Impérial' and taught humanities and mathematics following the principles and discipline of the Napoleonic code. Successful students were awarded the Baccalauréat and subjects increased to include languages and Natural Sciences. The school then developed a two-year 'post baccalaureate' curriculum that enabled entry to the Grandes écoles.
In 1873, the Lycée was renamed 'Lycée Pierre-Corneille' in honour of the alumnus, the 17th century writer and academic, Pierre Corneille. At this time the petit lycée was added for younger pupils. In 1890 the sports club Les Francs Joueurs was founded.[2]
Since 1918 the school has run a Norwegian 'college' that houses typically twenty-four boys for three years each.[2]
During World War I it served as a military hospital. In World War II it was commandeered by the German army, and was then bombed in September 1942 and on April 19, 1944.[2]
Today it educates students in preparation for university and Grandes écoles.[5]

B-GUIDED TO OUR OPEN DAY ON SAT 11TH MAY…
May 9, 2013 Clementina
Featured in this week's B-Guided…
You can think of Clementina van der Walt and ceramics in the same light as Cape Town and the mountain – they have always gone together and there is no way you could ever separate the two. Originally from Jozi, she studied at the Johannesburg College of Art where she went on to lecture before embarking on a 25-year journey as a freelance ceramicist.
Sitting down over a cup of tea with Clementina I quickly realised that this woman is as interesting and unique as each one of her pieces. Her studio, which can be found in the Tollgate Industrial Centre in Woodstock, streams with light and conjures up a curiosity from the moment one steps through the door; there's a certain intriguing magic that, although difficult to place, is palpable.
Clementina admits that she loves working with clay and that even after years of doing so she still gets excited every time she opens the kiln; she explains that you never quite know exactly how it is going to turn out and this is something that she really enjoys. She also enjoys making things that people can use. Her attitude toward ceramics is what I found most admirable – she values the art of taking 'a lump of nothing' as she says and turning it into a 'presence.' She feels that ceramics have a life of their own and that they carry meaning. On this note she refers to Edmund de Waal's book 'The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Hidden Inheritance' in which de Waal, a world-famous ceramicist, inherits a collection of 264 tiny Japanese wood and ivory carvings, called netsuke. De Waal, who also shares a particular sense of the secret lives of objects, set out to determine just who had touched and held them, and how the collection had managed to survive.
Clementina's beautiful ceramics can be found her shop at The Old Biscuit Mill, where she also stocks a number of products that complement her work.
A visit to her studio is by appointment only unfortunately but she will be having an exhibition and open day this Saturday, 11 May from 11am to 3pm, and I highly recommend you jump at the opportunity. Exhibiting artists are: Albie Bailey, Peta Becker, Erica Elk, Tessa Gordon, Heartworks, Andrew Lindsay, Hennie Meyer and, of course, Clementina van der Walt.

On Wednesday evening, Toulouse hosts Lyon at the Stadium de Toulouse in Ligue One, as the home side looks to move away from the relegation spots.
Toulouse are currently four points clear of the relegation play-off spot and a win would see them move up three places in the table.
The home side has been inconsistent of late in the French top-flight, but have won just two of their last 15 Ligue One matches. Last time out, they suffered a 2-1 home defeat against Strasbourg.
Their recent league games have offered value for money when it comes to goals, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five Ligue One matches.
Toulouse have a poor recent home record in Ligue One, as they have failed to win in their last seven games on home soil while losing three of their last four home matches in the French top-flight.
They have struggled to keep out the opposition on home soil in Ligue One, as they have conceded at least two goals in four of their last six home games.
Lyon currently occupies the last automatic Champions League qualification spots, a massive 17 points behind PSG.
The visitor's recent league form has been patchy as they have drawn three of their last five Ligue One games. Last time out, Reims held OL at the Groupama Stadium.
Bruno Genesio's team are unbeaten in four matches on their travels in the French top-flight, having recorded two wins and two draws. They have drawn their last two away games in Ligue One.
Lyon's recent away games have been high scoring in Ligue One, with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven matches.
Forebet predicts that Lyon will record a victory in a high scoring clash to consolidate their position in the Champions League spots.

You don't need to pay until your books are shipped (Note: restrictions might apply to first-time customers with no payment record). Upon shipment, we'll send you an email with a credit card payment link and instructions on how to pay.
2) Can I change the way I pay?
Yes, you can change your payment method any time, even without telling us. Watch out for an email with the subject "Your ELTBOOKS Order Shipment & Payment Details" which is sent upon shipment for details. Each shipment includes a post office payment slip that you can use if post office payment is your payment method of choice.
3) Why have I received two invoices for one order?
We only invoice you for the books we send. If your order is sent in multiple shipments, we send an invoice for each shipment that makes up the whole order. So it's possible for one order to have two or more invoices related to it.
4) Do I have to pay the shipping charges for multiple shipments?
No, you only have to pay shipping charges for the first shipment, and only if your total order is below ¥50,000.
5) Who pays credit card charges?

When your order is shipped, you are sent a shipment notification email with the subject "Your ELTBOOKS Order Shipment & Payment Details". Within this email is the credit card payment link.
7) The credit card payment link doesn't work. What should I do?
Try opening the email in a PC email client and follow the link from there. You can also try typing in the address manually.
8) My credit card payment keeps failing. What should I do?
A payment can fail for a number of reasons and it is the credit card processing company (PayPal) who can provide you with information on how to resolve this. You can contact PayPal customer support on 0120-271-888 from a landline or 03-6739-7360 from a mobile.
9) Do I need to pay shipping or COD fees for subsequent shipments due to stock problems on your side?
10) Who pays the shipping costs to return books?
If the return is necessary due to a mistake on our part then we will pay the shipping costs, otherwise the customer should pay the shipping costs to return books.
11) Can I pay by cash?
12) When can I get a receipt?
Receipts are sent out at regular intervals, automatically, by default. We will send an electronic (PDF format) receipt that has our company seal on it. This electronic receipt has been approved for all accounting and tax purposes. Please wait 10 days from the time of your payment before asking when your receipt will arrive.
13) Can you confirm you received my payment?
We do not confirm payments other than through the issuance of a receipt, so please do not contact us regarding this. If we believe payment has not been made you will receive a payment reminder within 14 days of the shipping date of your order.
14) Can I specify the type of goods that the receipt is for?
No. Our receipts are standard and approved for use for all accounting and tax purposes.
15) How do I know whether my credit card payment is complete?
Upon payment, you will receive an email from Paypal, the company that processes credit card payments for us. In addition to that, and in order to avoid double payments, you are not able to pay the same invoice twice using the payment link. If the payment screen does not say explicitly say that the payment has been made, the payment has not been made. If you cannot find the PayPal receipt, please check your spam folder.
16) How can I identify your company on my credit card details?
Payments to us are marked as "PAYPAL*ELTBOOKS".
17) I've paid, but still received a payment reminder.
There is sometimes a time lag of a few days between your payment being made and it being registered with our systems, especially for payments made via the Post Office. If you are sure you have paid and receive a payment reminder just a few days later then please ignore the reminder.
18) What are your bank account details?
19) How are refunds handled?
If there is a refund due, we can either refund directly or assign credit to your account, which can then be used with your next order. Credits do not expire. Refunds by credit card are done within 5 business days. Refunds via bank transfer can take up to 45 days. In case of double payments or other circumstances not caused by ELTBOOKS, the transfer charges for bank transfers will be subtracted from the amount to be refunded.
20) I've chosen credit card, but still my order contains an invoice and a post payment slip. Why?
Invoices are issued upon shipment, so when your order is packed, it has usually not been paid for yet. As some customers want to change their payment method, your shipment will always include an invoice and a post payment slip. Feel free to ignore them if you've paid already by credit card.


Planting and growing mint in a garden planter is easy and fun to do. Crush a sprig between your fingers and you will smell that heavenly aroma that is so popular and yummy! It is cool, soothing and it makes your mouth water. It's heavenly aroma also chases away the blues that can overtake you when temperatures are cold and the days are dark. Boost your vitality and refresh your senses, plant some mint!
There are so many kinds of mint to consider when planting mint in garden pots. Each one has a unique flavor and smell. When you are at the local nursery, check out the seed packets as well as the starts to choose from. Chocolate mint has grown in popularity and is very commonly available. Look for Moroccan, Cuban & Egyptian that you can use in food preparation.
Since mint is invasive like most herbs, it is perfectly suited to pottery. By placing the plant in a garden pot you can keep the roots from spreading and taking over your garden. Select a large wide mouth bowl. Since they tend to be shallow it is a great style for the mints root system.
Go with a concrete, poly resin or stone planter so that you won't have to re-pot once the plant takes off. Terracotta is meant to break down over time but it also great for healthy root systems because it breathes.
Every heard of a Mojito? Well here is a simple recipe that is great with your home grown mint.
The secret to a good Mojito is lots of fresh mint. In a 8 oz glass combine 20 rinsed mint leaves & 2 teaspoons superfine sugar.
With a wooden spoon, pound mint leaves with sugar to coarsely crush. Add 4 Tablespoons light rum, 3 tablespoons fresh lime and mix well. Fill glass with ice and 4 tablespoons chilled soda water. Garnish with more mint.

Love the tips. we use mint a lot at our home and so these tips were really helpful.


So it's easier for you to look up things you need.
Apps Crash on start on iOS 8.3/8.4? Due to Faulty Cracks by Clutch2!
"If anyone think any topic should be added, please reply below"
if you are NOT jailbroken on ios8.3+ you will have no access to data folders.
my iphone is already jailbroken and on iOS 8.3, i believe this is a known issue on iOS 8.3.
Should I wait for ios 8.4?
guys i have TaiG AFC2 tweak installed from taig repo. i have jailbroken my iphone 6 plus with TaiG 2.1.2, and i'm on iOS 8.3.
when i try to go to iTools, choose my device and right click on backup application, i don't have option or access to my app records.
"This tweak will allow you to access all app containers via USB on iOS 8.3+ like iFunBox, iTools and other iOS usb file managers did before iOS 8.3 update.
Currently on iOS 8.3 you can only access containers of Xcode signed apps and Documents folder of apps with file sharing feature"
what version iTools are you using?
I just tried 1.8.4.9E and I have no issue.
I don't know what picture you want?
when you are in iTools and you click "FileSystem" does it say (Jailbreaked) ?
i can see the JailBreak file system in both iTools and iFunBox, that's not my problam.
iTools has an option when you click on the Applications tab to backup an app with its records, that way let's say you want to back up whatsapp with all of its records, then when you install it on the new iphone it return exactly how you left it. that includes game saves, passwords and basically everything. this is by far the best option to backup an app with its records that i saw. (i don't know other good options).
when i try my iTools on my other iPhone, that doesn't run the new iOS 8, it works fine, the problem is iOS 8.3.
Hey guys, maybe you can help me ? Appsynch is not working for me...i installed substrates i have appsynch I think i got all what I need but it still dont work._. hope you guys can help me. i can install apps with appcake but if I wanna synch with my itunes nothing works.
iOS 8.3 Jailbreak with TaiGI newest version.
The sync to iTunes option is just for iOS 7. Try using iTools instead of iTunes if you want to backup cracked apps.
just upgraded to ios 8.3, planning to JB it but when i read here, ios 8.4 already jailbroken.

Shobaleader One: D'demonstrator (Review)
I'd be lying if I said I'd been keeping up to date with Warp's new releases after trawling their back catalogue for classics, but as I went to pick up more stuff from bleep.com I noticed 'Pushers new album. I knew it was coming, I'd heard Cryptic Motion, so I decided to check it out. And I was stunned.
Squarepusher is back, with a new "band" and this time bringing what I can only describe as his own twisted vision of Electro House to the table, or as Warp describes it: "The perplexingly titled 'Shobaleader One' is a dizzy whirl of proggy, vocodered soul; double-jointed electro-funk; Daft Punk-esque disco; electrifying finger-taps and various other mutations of speed-metal and fluorescent pop music". And with that in mind, my first album review:
It begins with Plug Me in, opening with some simple guitar chords we've seen before on Ultravisitor and Just A Souvenir. And then the beat drops, and the vocals too which carefully dance the line between vocoded and auto tuned, and all of a sudden it's a different beast entirely from anything we've heard before. Almost perfect opener IMO, just a bit too laid back in comparison to the rest of the album. 9/10
Here is where the Electro dabbling starts, set to some funky guitar riffs and even more almost incomprehensible vocoded verses. And while it's not going to set the floors on fire like We Are From Venice, it's damn fine electro, just with added guitars. think Pourriture X or Planisphere Part 4, only less crunchy. Overall, a very decent song, but it can get tedious after a while if you're looping it as I am. 8/10
I honestly have no idea how to describe this track. There's nothing to compare it to but I'll do my best :). One of the more laid back tracks on the album, Into The Blue keeps it fairly simple and focuses on the lyrics, sounds like some crazy futuristic pop from the 80's. I can hate or love this track depending on when it comes up, so I'm going with my gut feeling at the moment.6/10
Frisco Wave is a very strange track indeed, it sounds like a more modern track from Aphex Twin's unreleased Melodies From Mars; and that's not a bad thing at all. No vocals on this one, and as the first instrumental (minus a few random vocalisations) track of the album it's not too shabby, something about it just hits all the right places. Perhaps it's that melody, rising and falling in waves (no pun intended), which is too damn catchy for it's own good! 9/10
Megazine (the track used in the D'demonstrator trailer) is what happens when 'Pusher decides he wants to do some Metal fused with his new Electro style. and he knows how to make it last, introducing the now expected vocoders over the top and some droney synths in the background. And just when you're getting tired of it, there's a kick ass guitar solo in the last quarter that injects the track with some much needed freshness at the right moment, and because of that Megazine gets an 8/10.
By far my favourite track on the album, Abstract Lover is a slow moving electro number, the satisfying beats lead into the synth-esque guitar riffing which is simply amazing. the way it merges and flows with the beats is just fantastic and the vocals only add to the winning combination. Already in my list of favourite songs ever and one of the best electro tunes I've heard in a long while, I only wish it was longer than three minutes. 10/10
This one's a bit of a mash. It's like Jazz mashed with an 80's power ballad and some hair metal. Yeah. The track gets much better after about a minute or so if you haven't given up on it by that time, only just my least favourite but still good, if only for the later parts. 5/10
I shouldn't really need to explain this one, but I will anyway. Released earlier as a single, it's pretty much the gateway to the album. In short: if you like Cryptic Motion, you will like D'demonstrator. One of the best tracks here as it pretty much encompasses everything the album is about. only compliant: could be a bit shorter, but that's me being picky 10/10
and the finale, which like Megazine is straight up screechy guitars in your face. This time with added kicks, even more guitars over the top and some soft synths for good measure. And while that kickdrum does come across as a bit obnoxious at first, it soon slides into it's place in the mix. It sets out to be as outrageously filthy as it can, and it succeeds.8/10
And that rounds up my first review, I would've included the Japanese bonus track, but it was hard to find a 320 of it, regardless it's similar to Planck and Megazine so if you like them, check it out, it's brilliantly titled "On Fire Again"
Now for Shobaleader One, the 'band' itself, I love the look and the anonyminity of them, it really adds to the aesthetic of the album as a whole. Odds are we'll never find out who they are (yet), they all have adopted psuedonyms and according to 'Pusher they come from a metal background but also are "mad into" R'n B. you can certainly feel that style on the record, as they set out to make what the Square man himself calls "Space Pop".
At the moment he says he's writing more material for them to perform as it's an "ongoing experiment", and is in touch with Andre 3000 from Outkast after he stated he'd like to collab with him. Make of that what you will, I'm off :).
What the hell is a Shobaleader?,

Heh, I think you liked it a lot more than I did. I didn't care for how overbearing some of the vocals were, and the guitar tones were getting to me a lot of the time. I did think the songwriting was pretty decent, tho. Frisco Wave was by far my fav, tho.
You made some good points, and I'd be flattered if you took a sec to check out my review of the album as well:

Distilleries throughout country offer bootleg free hand sanitizer to fight coronavirus pandemic
By Joseph Wilkinson
Several distilleries, including Old Fourth in Atlanta, are making their own sanitizer and handing it out for free. (@oldfourthdistillery)
They're taking a hands-on approach.
Several distilleries across the nation are making their own sanitizer and handing it out for free to help people fight the coronavirus pandemic.
While health experts recommend soap and water for handwashing, they've also said that cleaning hands with a solution that's at least 60% alcohol-based can help prevent infection.
So naturally, people flocked to stores and cleaned out the sanitizer shelves. Online, meanwhile, sanitizer prices have been gouged by enterprising capitalists with a keen sense for supply and demand and a serious lack of empathy.
Coronavirus in pictures: How the world has reacted to the outbreak
In the absence of other options, various distilleries have stepped in to help people out.
Old Fourth Distillery in Atlanta posted on Instagram that it would give out free 95% alcohol-based sanitizer to anyone who stopped by and asked, starting Thursday.
The giveaway was so popular that the distillery told CBS News more than 600 people came through, and they were stuck with a shortage themselves.
Elsewhere, Shine Distillery in Portland, Ore., Moonrise Distillery in Georgia and Durham Distillery in North Carolina announced similar programs. Shine and Moonrise said they'd be doing community giveaways similar to Old Fourth's, while Durham Distillery said its product would go to local businesses.
They're proving that alcohol can help people get through the pandemic in more ways than one.

Wanna know my favorite way to get kids to love broccoli? Cheese Sauce for Broccoli! It's creamy, delicious and so easy to make. Your family will be fighting for seconds!
Growing up, I had always heard that some people don't like broccoli. This was always baffling to me because I love broccoli and so do my kids! It makes an appearance at least once per week in our dinner rotation and was a main stay in my childhood as well. My favorite way to turn people into Broccoli Believers is to serve it with my Grandma Eve's Homemade Cheese Sauce.
Now don't be mistaken; just because I'm listing broccoli as the primary vessel for this cheese sauce doesn't mean that's your only option. I can remember many delicious dinners where this cheese sauce was served over cauliflower. I'd imagine it would be a great, quick option for the sauce part of mac and cheese as well.
This is a pretty simple and quick recipe but it does require a little love.
In general, when you do anything involving milk on your stove top, you'll want to give it a good amount of attention, stirring often so as not to scald the milk. Also, make sure you don't cook it over a high heat.
Feel free to change up the cheese. While I wrote this out as a cheddar cheese sauce recipe, it would taste fantastic with a different cheese subbed in.
I've found that this is best served right away, as the cheese sauce coagulates in the refrigerator and the leftovers aren't nearly as delicious as when it's served right away.
A good way to tell that the milk has thickened enough to add the cheese is by sticking a spoon into it. Once it coats the back of a spoon you're ready for cheese.
If you find that its too liquidy, you can make a little more roux (flour and butter mixture) and add it to the sauce over medium low heat until it thickens a bit more.
This is an excellent side dish for many meals and a great way to get kids interested in the vegetable you serve it with!
Melt butter in a medium size pan over medium heat.
Sprinkle in the flour and whisk until combined.
Add milk, garlic powder and pepper.
Cook until thickened stirring often, about 10 minutes.
Whisk in your cheese until well combined and serve immediately over the broccoli or the vegetable of your choice.
November 9, 2015 at 9:02 am I made a similar sauce last week, with corn starch and slightly less cheese as the liquid in scalloped potatoes. It was soooo good!
November 9, 2015 at 10:23 am That sounds amazing!!
November 9, 2015 at 11:06 am I hope you all enjoy it!
November 16, 2015 at 11:18 am Thank you- I hope you enjoy it!
March 10, 2019 at 9:31 pm I made this sauce for the 1st time ever. I love it so does my husband. I added 1/2 cup more cheese just to use it up. . So good. Thank you!


Premier Farnell, the Development Distributor, shares insight from customers using the Raspberry Pi on the launch of the new Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. Feedback from customers demonstrates growing adoption of the Raspberry Pi for volume production and its suitability for professional design into an end product; examples include controllers for prepaid TV sets in hospitals and advertising screens in cinemas to lift monitoring systems in smart buildings.
Premier Farnell customers choose the Raspberry Pi over other Single Board Computers in the market because of its strong quality vs price point, the stability of the product over time, powerful processing capabilities, ease of use, and reliable sourcing. Customers also cited the quality of support and documentation available on the element14 Community and other forums as a key factor in their choice, with support available "far better than any other proprietary board".
The board also importantly retains the same mechanical footprint and pin out as both the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and Raspberry Pi 3 Model B easing upgrade to this faster, more capable board and reducing potential costs related to redesign.
Other functionality enhancements which enhance suitability for embedded applications, include improved thermal management and faster ethernet. The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ also comes with modular compliance certification, allowing the board to be designed into end products with significantly reduced wireless compliance testing saving both time and money.
The full specification of the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ can be found linked below.
Premier Farnell will be hosting a live 'invite only' webinar on the element14 community. The webinar is specifically targeted at customers using or planning to use the Raspberry Pi for professional use. The webinar will be available for all members to watch afterwards.
The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is available to buy from Farnell element14 in Europe, element14 in APAC and Newark element14 in North America.
The new official Power over Ethernet add-on board for Raspberry Pi will be available to buy from Premier Farnell from summer 2018.
A downloadable word file of this release is available on the left of the page.


I got a twinkle in my eye yesterday when I was listing some vintage clothing patterns on our Glamourstich site. I was just about to list this cute McCalls pattern and then thought , no, I'm going to keep this one for myself. I haven't pulled out the trusty sewing machine in awhile and this would be a fun project. Not to mention that I think the romper is just super cute and the pattern looks fairly easy. The knee length jumpsuit isn't bad either, that would be fun to make in a nice light weight gauzy material.
For some fabric inspiration I went looking through my images and came up with these. Both of these rompers are available over at Glamoursurf, Aren't they cute? One is pink the other is turquoise. I love the way the top is solid and the bottom is an ethnic print. And there is something wonderfully forgiving about the 'bubble bottom'.
Kate Moss in a romper. The stripes are a nice effect to lengthen the torso but I don't think I'm that advanced of a seamstress that I would be able to line up the pattern of the stripes if I went that direction.
This is an image of Emily Wilkens from 1946. While its a two piece suit and jacket, it has a similar effect with the bubble bottom, but it's in stripes. I either want to do a print or a solid.
This piece is nice from the Salt Swimwear Collection at Sirene. I like black, always have, but I think I may go for a lighter color. Hmmm, maybe I'll make two if the first one comes out and fits well, black may be a nice option for an evening romper. Now off to look through my fabric stash to see what I have that may work for this.
A wonderful small video featuring vintage swimwear. Enjoy!
The Emporio Armani Spring Collection for 2011 features men's one piece swimwear. I gotta say I like it. I'm glad to see a designer going back to the archives and reinventing men's one piece swimwear. I'm sure the inspiration came from men's swimwear of the 20s & 30s with a bit of 80's racer back turned front ways. But that's just my impression.
And then there are those who choose to use the reinvention of the mankini that BORAT helped to reintroduce. Somehow the top hats in this image help to offset well, the bulges. Dudes, these weren't meant for you! Dress age appropriate! Maybe they were doing a polar bear swim, idk.
We've got one original 1920 wool one piece for men left over at Glamoursurf, sorry guys this is modeled on our female manni as we don't have male one to fit. These go quickly when we get them.
And finally, just for a little levity, we give you this.
So what say you, are you man enough to sport this ?
Hubba Hubba. I must say I'm very impressed with this site I just found about the history of surfing in Australia. My hat, ok swim cap, is off to you Geoff, you've compiled quite a bit of history on Surfing on your fabulous site. If you have any interest at all in surfing history, surfers, music, pictures etc. I urge you to go visit surfresearch, you'll be glad you did!
Let's start at the beginning, well sort of, at least from a photographic perspective. The young man on the right holding the ball was my Grandfather, William King. This picture is from 1913 where he played basketball for the Ashburn High School basketball team.
He and my grandmother, Hallie King, had two daughters, Barbara and Nancy. Nancy LaBonnie King. This is my grandpa and my mom when she was a toddler.
And here she is with him in Michigan about 1942 as a young girl. I have many fond memories on my grandfather.
As a young man my dad was in the air force. This image is of him from 1951, just around the time he met my mom. Pretty dapper wouldn't you say?
My maternal grandmother met my father and introduced him to my mom. They were married soon after a brief courtship.
My parents went on to have 5 girls. My dad traveled a lot when we were children, he was a shoe salesman so we moved quite often. He's had many hobbies over the years; fish, motorcycles, golfing, photography and sailing to name a few. He had his own boat and sailed quite extensively when we lived in Santa Barbara. This picture of him is one from those years on his boat.
This is dad and me in 1979.
And here is my mom and dad in 1988.
Another picture of dad, mom, sister Jody and her family and my baby Paige in the early 1980's.
Dad is a wonderful dancer. This is him with Paige and my niece Sophie at my sister Brenda's wedding in San Francisco.
And here we are all 5 sisters with my mom and dad at my fathers 80th birthday party last December. Left to right: Brenda, Barb (R.I.P), dad, mom, Becky, myself and Jody.
This was my husbands dad as a young man. He was 'tata' to me.
And one of the last photo's I have of him before he passed. Tata was a farmer and worked hard all of his life to support his family of 5 kids. Without him I wouldn't have the love of my life, my husband.
I recognize my husband Trent as a father who brought me the most beautiful gift of all, my daughter Paige. She is now 18 and just graduated high school.
So to all the fathers who have been part of my life, I love you one and all. Thank you for always being there to support me in thick and thin, for your love and lessons learned and for the many memories I have to hold on to when you are not here. Happy Fathers Day!
Some of you may remember this cute suit we sold last year to Secelia. She wore it to the IBC Galveston Bathing Beauty contest in 2009 and won second place prize. Well this year IBC has created a calendar of all the bathing beauties from last year, complete with autographs.
What's so great about that you say? Well two things, the first is the calendar is up for auction on EBAY right here, and all proceeds go to the Galveston Island Humane Society which is in process of building a new animal shelter after Hurricane IKE destroyed the last one.
They are also having a pretty cool "Paws by the Pool" event. Dress is cool island attire for you and your pet with prizes given to the "Best Dressed Pet." Hmmm, I don't think I've ever seen doggy/cat swimwear, may be a new business opportunity?
But go on over to the auction and place your bid, great snaps, great benefit! Good luck!


Skills, experience and attitude will land you a job, but your interview attire is more important than you think. It's an opportunity to make a good first impression with a potential employer or future boss.
Know the company you will be interviewing with, and research the industry that it's a part of to familiarize yourself with the universal dress code. Ask a friend at the company or stake out the front door to find out what current employees wear.
Go in a suit and tie to any company that's part of a more formal industry, such as banking or law. Choose a basic black, dark gray or dark navy suit, a matching tie and black leather lace-up shoes. Borrow anything that you may be leery of investing in well in advance to ensure that it's clean and fits well.
Opt for dressy casual attire for a company that you know doesn't expect suits. Pressed khakis or slacks, a clean, ironed button-down shirt, a belt and a leather loafer will serve you well.
Match the belt to the color of your shoes. Choose black if your outfit consists of dark grays, navys, browns or black. Opt for dark brown if you'll be wearing tans, muted pastels or medium toned colors.
Polish or clean your shoes the night before your interview. Scuff marks on your shoes reveal a lack of forethought and attention to detail.
Keep interview accessories professional. Take a briefcase or nice leather- or vinyl-bound portfolio to carry resume, references or other pertinent documents. Leave tattered manila folders or college logo folders at home.
Avoid cologne or aftershave that may overpower the interviewer. Place your watch in your pocket once you make it to the front door so that you're not tempted to look at it during the interview.
Do not come in looking like a jewelry shop. Men should limit jewelry to a wristwatch, cufflinks, and a wedding band. Earrings, necklaces, nose rings, and similar items are not interview material (for the man who wants the job). Whatever the type of industry, men should use jewelry sparingly when going for the interview.
