Q: WPF Grid Row / Column Sizing in Proportion to DesiredSize? I have two user controls arranged vertically in a grid, both of which can expand to be taller than the grid can accommodate. I've put them in each in a scrollviewer which functionally works. What I want though is to give them them space in proportion to the amount that they want at run time.
So if there's 500 height available, the upper control wants 400 and the lower 600, the upper control would get 200 and the bottom 300.
I have no idea at design time how much space each will want in proportion to the other, so using 1*, 2* etc. for row height won't work for me.
I can hand-code run-time proportional sizing, but am I missing a simple trick in XAML that would get me what I want?
Context is as follows (trimmed for brevity)...
<Grid>
    <TabControl>
        <TabItem>
            <Grid>
                <Grid>
                    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                        <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
                        <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
                        <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
                    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                    <GroupBox Grid.Row="0" Header="Title Area" />
                    <ScrollViewer Grid.Row="1" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
                        <UserControl />
                    </ScrollViewer>
                    <ScrollViewer Grid.Row="2" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
                        <UserControl />
                    </ScrollViewer>
                </Grid>
            </Grid>
        </TabItem>
    </TabControl>
</Grid>

A: I'll take it that there's no easy way of doing it in XAML, so I have resorted to code-behind. The way I've done it is thus, in the XAML;
<Grid>
    <TabControl>
        <TabItem>
            <Grid>
                <Grid>
                    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                        <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
                        <RowDefinition Name="FooRow" Height="*"/>
                        <RowDefinition Name="BarRow" Height="*"/>
                    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                    <GroupBox Grid.Row="0" Header="Title Area" />
                    <ScrollViewer Grid.Row="1" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
                        <UserControl Name="Foo" SizeChanged="Foo_SizeChanged" />
                    </ScrollViewer>
                    <ScrollViewer Grid.Row="2" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
                        <UserControl Name="Bar" SizeChanged="Bar_SizeChanged" />
                    </ScrollViewer>
                </Grid>
            </Grid>
        </TabItem>
    </TabControl>
</Grid>

In the code-behind;
    private void Foo_SizeChanged(object sender, SizeChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        FooRow.Height = new GridLength(e.NewSize.Height, GridUnitType.Star);
    }

    private void Bar_SizeChanged(object sender, SizeChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        BarRow.Height = new GridLength(e.NewSize.Height, GridUnitType.Star);
    }

You could also do it with bindings and a ValueConverter.

Q: Automapper mapping issue: flattening from DTO to ViewModel works - doesn't work the other way around My DTOs (simplified for demonstration purposes):
Item (the DTO mapped to my ViewModel in question):
public class Item {
    public Item() { }
    public virtual Guid ID { get; set; }
    public virtual ItemType ItemType { get; set; }
    public virtual string Title { get; set; }
}

ItemType (referenced by my Item class):
public class ItemType {
    public ItemType() { }
    public virtual Guid ID { get; set; }
    public virtual IList<Item> Items { get; set; }
    public virtual string Name { get; set; }
}

My ViewModel (for editing my Item class data):
public class ItemEditViewModel {
    public ItemEditViewModel () { }
    public Guid ID { get; set; }
    public Guid ItemTypeID { get; set; }
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public SelectList ItemTypes { get; set; }
    public IEnumerable<ItemType> ItemTypeEntities { get; set; }

    public BuildItemTypesSelectList(Guid? itemTypeID)
    {
        ItemTypes = new SelectList(ItemTypeEntities, "ID", "Name", itemTypeID);
    }
}

My AutoMapper mapping code:
Mapper.CreateMap<Item, ItemEditViewModel>()
    .ForMember(dest => dest.ItemTypes, opt => opt.Ignore());
Mapper.CreateMap<ItemEditViewModel, Item>();

Controller code (again, simplified for demonstration):
public ActionResult Create()
{
    var itemVM = new ItemEditViewModel();
    // Populates the ItemTypeEntities and ItemTypes properties in the ViewModel:
    PopulateEditViewModelWithItemTypes(itemVM, null);
    return View(itemVM);
}

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(ItemEditViewModel itemVM)
{
    if (ModelState.IsValid) {
        Item newItem = new Item();
        AutoMapper.Mapper.Map(itemVM, newItem);
        newItem.ID = Guid.NewGuid();
        ...
        // Validation and saving code here...
        ...
        return RedirectToAction("Index");
    }

    PopulateEditViewModelWithItemTypes(itemVM, null);
    return View(itemVM);
}

Now, here's what's happening:
Within my HttpPost Create action result in my controller where I use Automapper to map my ItemEditViewModel to my Item DTO class, the ItemType ID value selected in the SelectList doesn't bind to the Item.ItemType.ID property. The Item.ItemType property is null.
I assume this is because, since I don't have an ItemTypeID Guid value in my Item DTO class, and I haven't created a new ItemType class for the property of the same name in my Item DTO, AutoMapper is unable to store the ItemType ID value.
I think it comes down to my Automapper mapping configuration.
I'm sure it's something simple that I'm overlooking.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

A: Pretty sure this is because automapper was designed as a Big Shape-> Smaller/Flat Shape mapping tool, not the other way around.  This just isn't supported.

A: You should be able to say:
Mapper.CreateMap<ItemEditViewModel, Item>()
    .ForMember(dest => dest.ItemType, opt => opt.MapFrom(src =>
        {
            return new ItemType()
                {
                    ID = src.ItemTypeID
                }
        };


Born into a Quaker family in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, William Bradford was encouraged to go into the family business, a ship outfitter and dry goods store in the whaling port of New Bedford. Although he obliged his father, he spent more time painting than working, and by the time he turned thirty it was evident that William would become a professional artist. Bradford began his career in New Bedford, painting detailed portraits of whaling ships and sea merchants. In 1855 Dutch marine painter Albert Van Beest arrived in Fairhaven, and spent two years instructing Bradford – his only formal training. Under Van Beest's guidance, Bradford began painting more dramatic themes and complex compositions, yet he maintained much of his own linear style, most likely influenced by the work of Boston-based English topographical marine painter Robert Salmon.
In 1869 Bradford embarked on his seventh and final artic expedition aboard the Panther, a sealing ship, in St. John's, Newfoundland. Accompanied by a crew of thirty, including two photographers, this art expedition proved to be his most ambitious journey thus far, as the Panther traveled through one hundred miles of pack ice into Melville Bay, Greenland. He established a studio on Panther's deck, and while the photographers documented the voyage, Bradford spent his time sketching the panoramic views of what he described as "the terrible aspects of the Frigid Zone." Bradford often used the photographs to supplement his own sketches as inspiration for large studio compositions.
The voyage resulted in a commission from Queen Victoria, titled The Panther off the Coast of Greenland under the Midnight Sun, completed in 1873, which garnered acclaim for Bradford both here and in England.
By 1872 Bradford was living in London, where he lectured on the Arctic and benefited from continued interest in his voyages. He returned to the United States in 1874 and was elected an Associate Member of the National Academy of Design. He later kept a studio in San Francisco and traveled widely throughout the western United States, painting the Yosemite region and the Sierra Nevada. At the end of his life Bradford returned to Fairhaven, and died unexpectedly on a lecture trip to New York in 1892.

Girls' Last Tour: Why Did Ishii's Plane Fail?
April 25, 2020 Scott Anime Thoughts 9 comments
Looks like I'm writing a bunch of things that I've been waiting to do for a while finally. I can't really blame Mecha March for throwing me off of writing this post, because an airplane is a mechanical device and talking about why a mechanical device would fail would fit easily into the month without a problem. I've been hesitant for other reasons. I'm not going to talk about what they are specifically; the reasons are too personal. Instead, let's enjoy some of the fun that comes from me rewatching Girl's Last Tour for #AniTwitWatches event. I'm not going to review the show again because my thoughts haven't changed that much. You can read my old post here. I still wanted to do something fun though even if it took me a while.
Chii and Yu, Good Girls
This post will focus on the end result of the happenings in episode 6. Yuu and Chi's vehicle breaks down in the middle of the desert. Luckily, mechanical genius Ishii appears and tells them she can repair it. You know, if Chi and Yuu help her build her plane first. There are montages of the three working on the plane with Ishii finding them and providing them a place to sleep until the final moment of the episode. Ishii warms up the plane, it lifts off, flies for less than a minute, then it falls apart. The wings tear off from the joints and Ishii is seen falling to the first level of the city in a parachute. Fun times.
Girls' Last Tour is a fictional show and the plane could have crashed for a number of reasons. Anime and fiction in general are now held down by realistic and logical reasons. The plane could have just fallen apart because Ishii's story followed the tale of Icarus of reaching too close to the sun. Girls' Last Tour is in that zone of ambiguous of the real and fantastically world building and tonally, so the answer is both. Let's look at Girls' Last Tour's plane crash like looking like a real airplane autopsy, ok? We are throwing the fantastical nature of this show out to just look at the cold hard facts. Boy, that hurt for me to say. Still, all for the effort put into this post I suppose.
A Look At The Plane Crash
From the footage that we've seen of the moment of failure, we see a pretty obvious cause. The wings of the airplane fell off at the joints. Mainly at the point where the fuselage and the wings meet and the wings fell apart themselves. That all in all makes sense considering that the largest stress concentrations come from where two parts meet or once again, a joint. There must have been no qualified mechanics who did heavily detailed check before giving the airplane the go ahead to fly. There were obviously multiple large cracks in the material at the joint that weren't found before flight.
Same for the wings that fell apart. Wings usually bend back and forth a lot during an airplane's flight. You can't see it, but there is a lot of forces causing the wings to bend in the air regarding wind conditions, weather conditions, the vibrations from the engines, and who knows honestly. There is a lot of reasons why the material for wings are heavily tested using different bending and fatigue methods before being chosen. Life cycles of material life and crack propagation are heavily tested out so the companies involved in the plane's manufacturing are very confidence the plane and wing will hold up. That didn't happen here.
We've looked into the videos and research material in how this particular plane was built. All of it happily provided to us by the wonderful people at Hidive and VRV. I've heard of these companies before, but never knew they had aerospace research department before. I suppose there is something new to learn every day. Officially, we can make a lot more efforts into understanding why this plane failed by looking at the time who built this airplane and the material they used to do it.
No Collaborative Effort
This is the first reason we will look into, because this point leads to the next point or reason of failure. There was a total number of three people working on this plane. Ishii, the supposed engineer and airplane mechanical, and two random girls from the wastelands. The first one is Chi who seems to have some workable, but minimal level of mechanical knowledge. Yuu is the name of the second person and it's clear that she is just the muscle of the group. Has no clear grasp of mechanical knowledge at all. It's pretty clear that the group behind the plane's construction is heavily suspect for a number of reasons.
Even if the three worked together, it is immediately clear that Ishii is the one leading the charge and making all the decisions for building it. Someone whose qualifications seem suspect at best. This is fundamentally wrong. Airplane maintenance, manufacturing, and construction involves a collaborative effort between a number of people. One person's work is usually checked out by a number of other people to make sure the airplane constructed follows a number of standards and guidelines. The FAA certification office exists for a reason. Companies that don't follow standard rules and guidelines usually lead to failure. This plane would never make it off the ground if the FAA existed in the apocalypse.
Suspect Material Useage
From the information provided by the videos and documentation of the incident, we also can question the material used for the plane's construction. From the evidence shown, we can see that the material used is old. Possibly already used in previous airplane designs. The design of the airplane itself was fine considering that it's been used before, but the material's previous usage is what really matters here. Every material that has laid around for a while has an unspecified history. Whether they've never been used before or not cannot be specified, so they should be checked before usage.
Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/stress-strain-curve
The history of the load matters because if a material has been used before, then the properties change. Take a lot at the chart above. This is for a standard linear load, but it's the principals that matter. As you can see, there is an elastic zone and a plastic zone. If a material is loaded and let go in the elastic zone, the material properties are unchanged. If the material is loaded into the plastic zone, then material changes. It's stretched, squished, or however the material was loaded permanently. It's not the same as a newer material and depending on how the material is used, that change matters. This is the situation that I am assuming here.
No matter the situation here, Ishii's plane was doomed for failure. There are just too many factors to consider in the plane construction for it to be a complete success. From the team that constructed the plane to the suspect material found in the old hanger in question, there are too many factors to consider for the plane to last longer then forty seconds in the air. Even the usual anime 1:1,000,000 chance of a scenario in which things turn into a success still isn't possible here. Ishii's dream was never meant to come true here. The poor conditions on how this plane was construction says it all.
If you've gotten through this post somehow, thank you so much. It was a lot of fun to write with the technical sort of mindset I don't usually take along with me. Hope it was as interesting to read as it was to write. Maybe I can think about doing more of these in the future if the situation presents itself.

I've been waiting a long time to read this one. Because there have been airframe failures even in instances where materials and qualified staff were involved, simply because of a single lapse during inspection or maintenance, for us viewers, it makes it clear that the deck is therefore doubly stacked against Ishii from the beginning. This makes her effort even more poignant. It's such a well-done scene, and at least for me, I liked Ishii's story the most of everyone's for that reason: even if failure is inevitable, it does not surpass our desire to try and make things.
Yeah, it's about time I finally got around to writing this one.
For sure. For instance, apparently a lot of the 737 Maxes that have crushed had tools in their gas tanks so qualified people really are questionable at even the best of times.
Ishii really did a good job building that plane with what was there. She's pretty intelligent. If only she was there at the best of times to build it.
RisefromAshes says:
I've never watched "Girls' Last Tour", nor do I have much particular knowledge of planes but this was a really interesting read! It's always fascinating to see a more literal explanation as to why something wouldn't or doesn't work in anime. It's a really well done post!
Thank you! I didn't want to go too detailed because that would be such a boring post so hopefully this was the right length.

Ha legato il suo nome soprattutto a quello dei Mastini Varese, con cui ha giocato a più riprese: tra il 1991 ed il 1996, nella stagione 1997-1998 e tra il 2003 ed il 2005, anno in cui la squadra fallì. Coi varesini si aggiudicò la Federation Cup 1995-1996.

Successivamente ha giocato sia con la squadra che nacque dalle ceneri dei Mastini, l'HC Varese (in seconda serie), che con l'altra squadra di Varese, i Varese Killer Bees che disputano il campionato svizzero.

In Italia ha vestito anche le maglie di HC Como (per una stagione in serie A2, e per una in massima serie) e Real Torino HC (una stagione in seconda serie).

Per una stagione ha giocato anche nel campionato spagnolo: nel 1996 i Mastini Varese avevano sospeso le attività, e Merzario seguì Luciano Basile, già allenatore in seconda dei Mastini, al Majadahonda HC.

Allenatore
Ha allenato la formazione under-19 dell'HC Varese nel 2007-2008.

Nel 2015 è stato nominato head coach della prima squadra del Varese, militante in serie A2. Prese il posto di Nenad Ilic.

Extensive shell ridges frame the edges of marsh platforms in parts of the Biloxi Marsh of southeast Louisiana. The exact sources of the shells in these accumulations have not been clearly identified but the most likely source is a combination of shells from modern offshore and shells excavated from buried St. Bernard delta deposits. Larger or fetch-protected ridges remain stable through time, whereas ridges facing open water are more mobile, moving as much as 38 m inland from July 2017 to January 2018. Behind stable ridges, marsh platform biomass is relatively unaffected. When ridges are mobile, vegetation is smothered, leaving an exposed platform that lacks aboveground vegetation to dampen wave energy and fragments into "blocks" along its terraced edge, which in turn are deposited onshore. In the future, marshes will likely erode fastest in areas where shell ridges are mobile and remain resistant where shell ridges are stable.

Children are fickle creatures. Their preferences change frequently and it doesn't take long for them to outgrow all of that cute kid-sized furniture. If you'd like to avoid extensive redecorating on a regular basis, then there are ways for you to make your child's bedroom kid friendly in a way that will grow with them.
Kids are fickle. Just because they LOVE unicorns now doesn't mean that they will in 6 months. This is why it's a good idea to make the basis of the room design something fairly neutral. So, before you get carried away with murals of rainbows and unicorns, it's important to think about the long term style of the room.
Simple wall colors and classic furniture can easily be accented by removable wall transfers, lighting, pillows, and other pieces that give the room a sense of style without sticking too closely to a specific theme. By keeping the foundation neutral, your child's interests can be reflected through easily interchangeable items that won't eat up a lot of your time when your child is ready to replace them.
One of the most important considerations for the design of your child's bedroom is how to organize their belongings. Between clothes, books, toys, and materials for their hobbies and school work, organization is a key style element. Making sure they have adequate space for storage will keep their room looking neat and put together no matter what their ever-changing preferences are.
Investing in a large bookshelf that can store more than just books is a great way to keep things organized without opting for a childish looking toy chest. There are a variety of baskets available that can be used for storing literally anything while being neutral enough to avoid having to buy new ones when your child decides that they now hate the vibrant green they were once obsessed with.
While it's great to want your child's room to be a reflection of their personality, it can be time consuming to keep up with. By choosing a simple foundation you and your child will have more freedom to experiment with accent pieces that reflect their interests without investing a lot of time or money into them.

Case Report: Polyarthritis and meningitis in a nine month old Basset Hound
Signalment, history and physical examination
A nine month old male entire Basset Hound was presented with a three week history of lethargy, pyrexia and anorexia that had been unresponsive to treatment with amoxicillin-clavulanate and meloxicam. On initial presentation the dog was quiet but alert. The only abnormal findings on clinical examination were mild enlargement of the popliteal lymph nodes and mild discomfort on manipulation of the elbows and shoulders.
Differential diagnoses
Lethargy and anorexia are non-specific signs that were likely to be secondary to the underlying problem. The main differentials considered for pyrexia were infection, inflammation, immune-mediated disease, neoplasia, toxins and tissue necrosis. The popliteal lymphadenopathy may have resulted from local inflammatory disease (eg. arthritis, dermatitis, lymphadenitis, metastatic neoplasia) but a systemic condition resulting in lymphadenopathy (eg. lymphoma, systemic infection) could not yet be ruled out. Discomfort on manipulation of the joints is suggestive of arthritis and immune-mediated, infectious, traumatic, degenerative or neoplastic aetiologies should be considered.
Initial investigation
Blood and urine were taken to investigate the possibility of inflammatory or infectious disease. However, since the dog had recently received NSAID therapy and was not currently pyrexic he was discharged and asked to return the following week. Urinalysis was unremarkable. Routine haematology revealed marked neutrophilia that was most likely due to infection or inflammation. Serum biochemistry revealed mild hyperglobulinemia in association with mild hypoalbuminemia, which was likely to be a result of ongoing inflammation resulting in an acute phase response. A low creatinine was likely to be a reflection of low muscle mass and the elevations in calcium and phosphate were likely to be age related.
Further investigation
fig.1 - mediolateral radiograph of right elbow
Five days later the dog became depressed and lethargic. His neck carriage was low, his gait was hunched with stiff hindlimbs and discomfort was noted on manipulation of the cervical and lumbar spine. The remainder of the clinical examination was as previously but pyrexia was now present (39.9oC). Full neurological examination was unremarkable. Intravenous fluid therapy was instigated and Tramadol was given for analgesia.
Screening for borrelia, bartonella and ehrlichia was negative, as was antinuclear antibody and rheumatoid factor serology. Thoracic and abdominal radiography was unremarkable as was abdominal ultrasonography. Spinal radiographs were unremarkable and, given the chronicity of the problem, this made discospondylitis unlikely. Gross conformational abnormalities were evident in the elbow and stifle radiographs (figures 1 & 2) but no joint effusions or reactive changes were noted. However, this would not exclude an inflammatory arthritis and neutrophilic inflammatory changes were noted on cytology of the synovial fluid from the right stifle and left carpus. Aerobic and anaerobic bacterial culture of synovial fluid was negative. Cytology of the popliteal lymph nodes was unremarkable. Csf cytology revealed a markedly elevated cell count and high protein levels consistent with meningitis.
fig.2 - mediolateral view of right stifle
The clinical signs and laboratory findings were indicative of meningitis with concurrent non-erosive polyarthritis. There was no evidence of underlying infectious, inflammatory or neoplastic disease and drug reaction was excluded given the lack of history of recent drug exposure or vaccination prior to disease onset. A primary immune-mediated meningitis-arthritis syndrome was therefore most likely.
Management and follow up
Treatment with immunosuppressive doses of prednisolone (1mg/kg po bid) was started along with gastroprotectants (sucralfate 1g po tid). This resulted in a marked improvement in demeanour and reduced neck pain. However, a markedly stiff gait remained. The prednisolone dose was gradually increased to 2mg/kg twice daily and azathioprine therapy (2mg/kg po eod) was added with weekly monitoring of the haematology. The dog continued to make steady improvement over the next few weeks and drug therapy was slowly tapered and withdrawn over the following six months. Two months following cessation of therapy the dog remains asymptomatic.
Spinal pain is a common finding in dogs with immune-mediated polyarthritis (IMPA), identified in ~29% of cases. In almost half of these dogs the spinal pain is found to be a result of concurrent steroid responsive meningitis (SRM). Previously, certain breeds (including Beagles, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Boxers and Akitas) have been found at increased risk of this polyarthritis-meningitis syndrome, but more recent studies suggest that any breed can be affected. It is thus advisable that any dog with IMPA and spinal pain has csf analysis performed. SRM has also been described in association with polymyositis/polyarthritis but the lack of elevation in creatine kinase or aspartate aminotransferase made this syndrome unlikely in this case. There were no other clinical signs consistent with polyarteritis nodosa such as skin or mucous membrane ulceration and the lack of other apparent immune pathology with a negative ANA titre excluded SLE as a differential.
Although septic arthritis is usually monoarticular, definitive exclusion can be difficult. Synovial fluid cytology can be similar in sepsis and immune-mediated diseases and culture of synovial fluid can yield false negative results. However, sepsis was considered extremely unlikely in this case, particularly given the good response to immunosuppressive therapy. Similarly, SRM with an unrelated rheumatoid arthritis could initially not be definitively excluded since erosive changes are not always present early in the course of disease and some dogs have a negative RF titre. However, given the age of the dog, the waxing and waning nature of the abnormal gait this was considered unlikely.
As was the case in this patient, dogs with IMPA rarely have grossly observable swollen joints and may not present with obvious signs of lameness. In contrast, non-specific signs of pyrexia and lethargy are common. Synovial fluid analysis is therefore an important investigative tool in cases of pyrexia of unknown origin and, since it is rare for all joints to be affected, multiple joints should be tapped.
Although the treatment for dogs with IMPA and SRM is similar, it is still important to ascertain whether SRM is present because dogs which are inadequately treated for SRM are at risk for the development of neurological damage, which can be permanent. As in this case, response to immunosuppressive therapy can be excellent with chemotherapeutic immunosuppression resulting in complete cure in 56% of dogs. However, recurrence is not uncommon and the owners were therefore advised to observe the dog carefully for early signs of recurrence.

Ariana Grande dazzles on her Dangerous Woman Tour.
As far as concerts go, I usually find it difficult to completely freak out while an artist is performing, especially when I'm not a die-hard fan of their music. But when I walked into the Centurylink Center of Omaha last Tuesday night, I had no idea how shaken I would be when I walked out. Everyone attending the February 7th concert was about to be blown away as the overhead lights of the Centurylink began to fade to reveal the first opening act, Victoria Monét.
Victoria Monet performing her set as the opening act for Ariana Grande.
I'm not an avid Monét listener, and honestly, I hadn't heard of her until this concert. However, by the time left the stage she had made her name known to many in the crowd. Her vocals were on key and remained powerful throughout her time on stage. This was very impressive considering how challenging it can be to keep endurance through a performance.
What ultimately caught my eye during her performance was her dancing. Artists who perform without backup dancers are sometimes, to be frank, boring; thus leaving their crowd to scroll through their social media platforms while the show is going on, but Monét was ultimately successful in keeping her crowd entertained.
That being said, her singing didn't completely blow my mind. Her performance was entertaining but I found myself checking my Snapchat multiple times during her songs. This could be because I don't usually listen to her music because there was still a copious amount of people who were on their feet and singing along. Nevertheless, Victoria Monét is worth searching on Spotify.
Next to perform was the renowned British quartet, Little Mix. They are best known for their song "Wings." I had also never previously heard of this group, but they have since Tuesday night earned their spot on my playlist. Their performance was engaging and their vocals were amazing. Many of their lyrics had meaning behind them, which is why I was left so emotional after every song. My personal favorite was "Secret Love Song," which literally had me in tears by the second verse.
Little Mix performing in England, joined Ariana Grande in her latest tour.
All of their dancing was flawless and they got the crowd excited with every move. All in all, Little Mix has probably been the best opening act I've ever seen, and I would definitely recommend downloading an album or two.
When it finally came time for the encore, I was surprised that she hadn't yet given us our share of her hit song, "Dangerous Woman," but when Grande walked out once more in a shiny black dress, I knew it had been worth the wait. She stunned the crowd once more before leaving Omaha to gawk at what they had just experienced.
By night's end, I was not left the same. I gained a new appreciation for three artists/groups and was left in shock and awe at the experience of seeing Ariana Grande perform live. In closing, Grande had the whole stadium rocking from side to side right along with her.

LAGOS RECEIVES FIVE AWARDS AT INAC 2021
oolasunkanmi2October 26, 2021
Lagos State has been honoured with five awards at the Y2021 International Arts and Crafts Expo (INAC) held at Sheraton Hotels and Towers, Abuja.
Receiving the awards on behalf of the State Government, the Chief Executive Officer, Lagos State Council for Arts and Culture, Mr. Oladusi Komolafe, who led the State's delegation to the event, restated the commitment of government to the promotion of arts and culture.
He said: "Lagos State is determined to forge ahead in the quest to continue to showcase its best of Arts and Cultural heritage to boost home-grown and international tourism".
The Director-General, National Council for Arts and culture, Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, speaking on the theme of the three-day event: 'Networking Nigerian Arts and Crafts to the World', said all avenues to showcase Nigeria's strength in the best of arts, crafts, textiles, dance and drama will be explored to the fullest.
In his contribution, the Keynote Speaker, Dr. Reuben Abati, said the nation's overdependence on oil has led to the neglect of the art and creative industry.
He advocated urgent diversification of the nation's economy, stressing that the art and creative sector is capable of generating huge and stable income for the country.
The annual event is a platform for showcasing the works of the creative industry in music, arts, crafts, textiles, dance, drama and cuisines across the Federation.

The current Administration in DC loves this aspect of CCSS.
Maybe you live in NY or CO and have heard of "P-Tech"; maybe you live elsewhere and have heard of it. Maybe it's a new term for you. However, either way, it's still more CCSS and CTE (Common Core State Standards and Career/Technical Education). Join me today as we discover just why the current President is so in favor of this program.
1) Reinventing_American_High_School (published 2006) but very telling considering the CCSS agenda and the President's above message. You'll need to really take a close look at this entire document which is full of all kinds of useful anti CCSS and adult version CCSS (CTE) information.
2) I'm including an NC specific 2013 STEM, Race to the Top report so you can see what a) one looks like and the strides toward re-invention that have been made; b) what your state's RttT STEM paperwork may contain; c) how "New Schools" is interwoven (among other known CCSS aligned efforts), and d) how your LEAs are part of the efforts to re-invent high schools. (again, think the context of the President's speech). What's worth noting is that for every year NC's had RttT funding used, there's a report detailing it, especially when it involves STEM (that's the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math the President mentioned). NC had a 2014 report about RttT and STEM as well.
The guide to re-designed STEM schools (ripe with Common Core and Career Pathways interwoven in them) can be found, STEM-Pathways-Playbook_Feb-2012 How do I know that STEM and Career Pathways connect to Common Core? Two documents, my fellow warriors. First, the PCAST document that is pre-2013 State of the Union address's timeline, but is essential in tying STEM to Common Core as STEM being the agenda and CCSS being the vehicle of choice to deliver STEM to the masses of citizens. Then, the Pearson, Harvard University "Pathways to Prosperity" report, which helped create the Career Pathways you now see in high schools and post-secondary schools. The "Pathways" are even showing up as early as 3rd grade in some states.
2) Getting to the "Pathways for Prosperity" can be found in my original post, https://commoncorediva.wordpress.com/2015/01/08/tech-thursday-national-career-pathways-network/ AND https://commoncorediva.wordpress.com/2015/03/12/tech-thursday-difference-between-careers/ Both of these articles are directly related to P-Tech via the Pathways and all the Career Paths the President was referencing, as well as the P-Tech website.
Is a P-Tech School in your state's future? Use the above evidence to investigate!
Repeatedly, I've written about the Workforce plans for the US that are wrapped up with CCSS (Common Core State Standards) laden Career Pathways. So, what would you say if I asked you to believe me when I say, Vice President Biden was given a big job to do by overseeing the workforce plans for America take shape. Would you believe it or would you think it a riddle?
Note: the 2015 budget that the President has laid out asks for $6 billion for the community college-businesses relationships are continued (ie: public private partnerships).
See this excerpt, "Q. How does WIOA(Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) align with the Vice President's review of federal job training programs? A. The Vice President's review of federal job training programs highlights several key elements that characterize job-driven programs and best practices to make our national training and skills investments more job-driven. WIOA also includes these key elements. The Vice President's report and WIOA complement one another and both advance the goals of preparing workers for 21st century jobs and ensuring American businesses will have skilled workers to be competitive in our global economy." I found this in a pdf file from the U.S. Dept. of Labor. The pdf is a 'Workforce FAQ file'.
His job as directed by the President? "The vice president's charge was to work in consultation with the heads of other executive agencies, including the secretaries of labor and education, to develop an action plan with key policy recommendations." Just some of the policies are a Career Pathways Exchange, online program for states to build their Pathways even stronger; for up to 10 of the states to be selected to broaden Career Pathways in their school districts' Each of the participating U.S. States (at this time, all states will eventually be involved) must present unified plans from their Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act 2014 integral departments (such as education, labor, etc.).
Back in June 2014, the Vice President was the main speaker at a Third Way Workforce Panel. I'll include the video, but, first, here are some interesting folks you need to know about.
The Panel assembled was fairly well stacked with not only industry leaders with union connections, but educators who are making headway in helping align their domains with the federal agenda. One Panel member is convinced there's such a skills gap, he's written numerous books about it. (If there's such a skill gap, why are we investing money to write about it, when that investment could go to a better solution?) Another Panel member is from Aspen Institute, which not only is a known CCSS supporter, but according to the President of Third Way, the leader in career pathways strategy for America! While there are many other note worthy members of the Panel which can be tied to STEM, CCSS, it's the Walla Walla WA Community College that I want to finish this portion with. Why? Because WWCC is consider the pioneering leader in using wage data to target students career paths in education. This Panel's job is to not only assist the VP, but to help solve the Workforce problem in America.
To fulfill the line Third Way requires accompanying any of their information, I am to have the following credit appear, so please apply this credit to anything you decide to share.
Boston Globe, in an October 2014 article had this to say about Third Way: "Third Way, backed by Wall Street titans, corporate money, and congressional allies" Further down, in the article, "Third Way raises just over a third of its $9.3 million annual budget from undisclosed corporations. The remainder, the bulk of its funding, is donated by individuals, almost all of whom are members of Third Way's board of trustees." The article does share a direct quote from the President of Third Way and one of the co-founders,"We are centrist Democrats, not centrists," Cowan said. Wait, didn't the website say they were left or right, but in the middle?? Hmmm..word play..by using 'centrist' and not 'central', I did what most of us would do, see the word as what I thought is was being suggested as, not for what it truly is. Nice, deceiving move, there Third Way.
Not knowing you, my readers personally, I have no idea how you would react to the rest of the information in this article, so I'm sharing the link for you to read on your own. I will tell you, it is quite illuminating.
Under the 'stakeholder' sidebox on page 6, education is the second largest one. Here's how it is described, "Educational leaders at community colleges, universities, and high school CTE programs" and also, "Workforce and job training partnerships, American Job Centers, community leaders" Note: In case you don't know or don't remember, "CTE" is 'Career Tech Education' which is short for 'Common Career Core Technical Education'.
Promote a seamless progression from one educational stepping stone to another, and cross work-based training and education, so individuals' efforts result in progress. Individuals should have the opportunity to progress in their careers by obtaining new training and credentials. Job-driven training programs should make it easy for individuals to transition from one post-secondary program to another, including Registered Apprenticeship and occupational training programs, and from basic education programs into post-secondary programs." Here's a question, all this money, all this effort and career paths are being established right now, as early as in middle school! Then carried on into high school. So, the question is, why is all the information, while open, not open enough to include this?!
We know from past researched links and resulting posts, that career paths begin much too early for our students. Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act will only continue to force this issue into classrooms.
Part of the funds will be used to increase Career Tech Education both online and in schools. Notice in the below image that by the time the students get to high school, they're already in the training pipeline.
As part of the video featuring the Vice President, the phrase 'learning quicker to earn quicker' or very close to those words were used. Why? In one word, 'economics'. At the price of our students.

Chris Evans Up To Star In Greg Berlanti's Little Shop Of Horrors
February 24, 2020 April 8, 2020 Administrator 114 Views 0 Comments TMSM Feed
From the Walt Disney World News and written by: Michele
Captain America in Little Shop of Horrors? Maybe so! Here's the scoop from comicbook.com!
Marvel's Avengers: Age Of Ultron..Captain America/Steve Rogers (Chris Evans)
Though he became a household name for playing the Star-Spangled Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Chris Evans is enjoying a bit of a heel turn after his time as Captain America has come to an end. After his turn as the wicked Ransom Drysdale in Knives Out, The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Evans is in talks to play the abusive Orin Scrivello, aka "The Dentist," in the new remake of Little Shop of Horrors. The sadistic character was originally played by Steve Martin in the 1986 feature film directed by Frank Oz.
The cast for the film is still coming together but if those that are in talks sign on it will be a stacked musical movie. It was previously reported that Kingsman and Rocketman star Taron Egerton is in talks to appear in the film as Seymour Krelborn (previously played by Rick Moranis in the 1986 feature adaptation of the musical) with Black Widow and Jojo Rabbit star Scarlett Johansson up for the part of Audrey, Seymour's love interest and the namesake for the musical's carnivorous plant. The trade confirms that the two remain in talks for the film and that Emmy and Tony Award-winning Pose star Billy Porter has signed on to voice the ever hungry Audrey II in the film.
This new version of Little Shop of Horrors was first announced in 2016 where it was revealed that Greg Berlanti was set to direct the reboot based on a script from Matthew Robinson for Warner Bros. Updates on the project have started to become more regular since it was revealed that the film had been named one of the recipients of California's Film & Television Tax Credit Program for the fiscal year of 2019-2020. As a result, the studio will likely be pushing for it to begin production soon so they can capitalize on these credits, saving them millions of dollars in the end.
Little Shop of Horrors has a very unique history on the big screen and elsewhere. The film first began as a movie (sans musical numbers) in 1960 from legendary filmmaker Roger Corman. Up until the musical it was only notable for being one of Jack Nicholson's early movies. In 1982 the stage musical opened Off-Broadway to critical acclaim and was adapted in 1986 for the big screen with Frank Oz directing. Since then it has been revisited on the stage in many forms and even became the basis for short-lived animated series in the early 1990s.

Greg Hardy released on bond, incident details emerge
Greg Hardy was released on bond Wednesday following allegations levied by his girlfriend that the Panthers defensive end threw her on a couch covered with guns and threatened to shoot her.

Share All sharing options for: Greg Hardy released on bond, incident details emerge
Sam Sharpe-USA TODAY Sports
Greg Hardy was released on bond Wednesday after being arrested Tuesday following an altercation with his girlfriend, Nicole Holder, the Charlotte Observer reports. Hardy was charged with misdemeanor assault on a female and communicating a threat. Holder alleged that she sustained "large areas of bruising and swelling" after being slammed against a futon and strangled during an argument at Hardy's home.
Couch covered in guns
Holder reportedly filed for a restraining order against Hardy. The warrant for his arrest said that the Carolina Panthers defensive end made his threat "in a manner and under circumstances which would cause a reasonable person to believe that the threat was likely to be carried out."
The incident allegedly occurred at an "after party" in uptown Charlotte. Both Hardy and Holder were reportedly intoxicated. Details of how an altercation began are unclear. The Observer revealed details of the fight itself:
The arrest warrants accuse the Panther lineman of throwing girlfriend Nicole Holder to the floor and into a bathtub, slamming her against a Futon and "strangling" during an argument at his home.
Carolina Panthers blog Cat Scratch Reader
According to Holder, she was thrown on to a couch covered "in assault weapons and/or shotguns." At that point, Hardy allegedly bragged that the assault weapons were loaded, and threatened to shoot Holder if she "went to the media or reported his assaults to anyone." She alleged that Hardy has 25-30 firearms: "AK-47s, automatic-looking weapons, shotguns, rifles and pistols."
Police responded to a call placed by Hardy at 4:18 a.m. ET. Bond was set at $15,000 for the assault charge and $2,000 for the threat. Hardy was jailed overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning. It is common practice for suspects in domestic violence cases to be denied bond for at least 24 hours after an incident to allow a "cooling-off period," according to the Observer.
Upon Hardy's release, Mecklenburg County Judge Becky Thorne Tin told him not to have any contact with Holder -- even if she attempted to contact him -- and to begin attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings three times per week. Hardy's next court appearance is tentatively scheduled for June 27.
Hardy responded "yes, ma'am" when asked if understood the terms of his release.
Hardy's lawyer responds
Chris Fialko, Hardy's attorney, told Tin that Holder initiated the confrontation, attacking Hardy and a friend, Sammy Curtis. Holder refused to leave Hardy's home, according to Fialko. After the incident, Hardy called 911, a fact that isn't disputed by Holder's representation.
Holder did not attend Wednesday's hearing, but stood outside the courtroom. Her attorney, Stephen Goodwin, said that Curtis held down Holder as Hardy placed the 911 call, and insisted that his client was not the aggressor "by a long shot."
"She weighs less than 120 pounds," Goodwin said. "Mr. Hardy (is an) All-Pro (defensive end), strong, big.
"... It was a fight. He threw her around the room."
Panthers 'disappointed'
The Panthers released a brief statement Tuesday addressing the situation:
"We are very disappointed to learn of the allegations involving Greg and are concerned for all parties as we continue to investigate."
Hardy is on track to play the 2014 season under Carolina's franchise tag. Prior to being designated the team's franchise player, he was set to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of NFL free agency last March. The Panthers have expressed interest in signing the defensive end to a long-term contract. It is unclear yet how Hardy's off-field incident will affect his status on the team.
Should Hardy miss playing time due to incident, rookie Kony Ealy could be shuffled into a big role on the opposite end of the defensive line from Charles Johnson. Fellow defensive end Frank Alexander has also had off-field trouble this offseason, earning a four-game suspension to start the 2014 season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.

It has been weeks since I have visited the dashboard of this blog. I was very busy with family matters particularly with Bella. The month of October has been very challenging for me as a mother. My little one was hospitalized and a day after going out of the hospital, she acquired cough and colds caused by her allergy while suffering the pain of teething.
For a mom like me, dealing with the health of my baby is a big concern no matter how simple the sickness is. In Bella's case, extra attention must be given particularly if she has fever. She has this thing called febrile seizure and it scares every one of us every time she has attacks. It used to be a simple one occurring once every episode but recently, she has two attacks in a day which made the condition "complex".
Our being parents was challenged and put to test every time we encounter problems that involves Bella. For almost two consecutive weeks, we have been visiting different doctors and laboratories to make sure that Bella's health is properly taken care of. Aside from her attending pediatrician, we were also advised to see a doctor specializing in Pediatric Neurology to refer Bella's case.
We are so relieved when Bella's doctor told us that her EEG result was normal and that no necessary medication or maintenance is necessary. We were told though to take the necessary precaution to control Bella's temperature every time she has fever and keep it below 38C to prevent the possible seizure attack.
I woke up very grateful this morning knowing that Bella is already healed. We even brought her to the hospital yesterday for another laboratory test (CBC, Platelet, and Urinalysis) because she has fever for the past 3 days. Thanks God, she didn't have seizure attack this time. We are so happy that the lab result was just fine and the cause of fever was only viral. Her fever subsided last night, and her appetite is already back to normal. She slept soundly last night and woke up late this morning.
I considered the month of October very special since we are celebrating our wedding anniversary on that particular month. Despite the challenges that this month brought us, hubby and I have been able to celebrate our anniversary through a simple dinner with family at home.
It's really good to hear, Rovs, that Bella is well now and that her EEG came back normal. I can just imagine kung ganong pagod mo sa pag-aalaga sa kaniya. But thank God na tapos na yun, and of course thank Him as well sa nalalapit na birthday ni Bella. He has blessed her with another year. Praying for good health and long life to Bella and the rest of your family, Rovs :) Hugs!
oh, thanks be to God for healing Bella Rovs and that her seizures are gone now. happy anniversary also to you and your hubby.
Thank you very much Teh KM for all the love and support.
Praying for your and your baby's health too :) Stay safe always. Hugs!
Thank you very much Betchai. Please help pray for continuous healing for Bella.
I hope that Bela's condition will be continue to be good na.. I know it's hard for parents to see their children suffer.
It is a huge relief for sure that your baby had been finally healed. Enjoy the rest of the months in 2012.
good to hear that your daughter's fine now, I can fully relate how hard it is when one of our kids is sick.
God is good. Salamat at magaling na si Bella. I beleive October did brought you good things naman. Hope that November be a much better month for you and your family.
Praises be to God, Rovz! I am glad all lab tests esp her EEG turned out normal. Even if I am not a mother yet, I know how stressful it must had been for you. Walang kapantay ang pagmamahal ng Nanay para sa anak. I admire you for your strength. Thank God tapos na ang October. Hear yeah for Bella's birthday celebration! ;-) I hope to see her the next time we meet up.
October was challenging for me too - hopefully November wouldnt be so.
it's really great news to hear that no further medications and maintenance is necessary and that Bella is completely healed, praise be to God. I know how difficult it is to parents when their child suffer from seizures, especially you do not know when it is coming. So happy for you Rovs, and Bella too.
so glad to hear Bella has been healed by the Master Healer. as a mom, i know the feeling seeing your child suffer from sickness, be it simple or complex. this made me pray not just for my children but all "angels" in the whole wide world.
Time flies so fast and we are now in the month of November. So many things happened last month and we will just reminisce them as days go by. BTW, belated happy wedding anniversary to you and your hubby and more to come. God bless.
i am happy to read that bella's doing great now. i can understand you about your worries with bella, afterall i am a mum too!
yes even just a small colds always matters to parents. we cant help ourselves to be concerned when it comes to our kids health condition.
ako naman yung October to remember is yung we transfer to my parents house..after almost 10years of leaving alone till nag kaka-baby na ako..i dont live talaga sa bahay namin...i hope this is a start na i keep to bond with my siblings...thank you at yung baby ko naman hindi ako masyado nag kaka prob sa sakit sakit.


Some 80 per cent of managers think leaders and managers should be taught how to be compassionate, to genuinely care for and to be considerate towards their staff.
A breakdown of the findings reveals a surprising dilemma between the sort of environment people wanted to work in and the management style of the manager managing them. A total of 70 per cent of respondents reported that they would prefer a 'collaborative & supportive' working environment, yet only 26 per cent said that they wanted a manager who was 'nurturing and kind' or 'unconditionally supportive'.

Moments not to miss
By Liz Langley and Steve Helling
Too many visitors to Orlando make the mistake of taking in only those stops that require a ticket at the turnstile. But moving beyond the obvious are a wealth of overlooked outings. So step out. Get to know us a little. Man-made attractions have their appeal, but there is in Central Florida so much else to do. A few suggestions:
Racer head
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Daytona's the racing capital of the world, the Daytona 500 is the best thing ever, NASCAR this and NASCAR that. They think they're so hot. What they don't realize is the best racing in town isn't anywhere near Daytona. It's almost not even anywhere near Orlando.
The most fun you'll have at a race track, unless you're doing stuff you're not supposed to do at a race track, is east of Orlando on Highway 50 in Bithlo at Speed World. Just look for the giant rattlesnake bearing its fangs on the billboard, and you'll know you're right at home.
The track at Speed World may be smaller than the big-shot, PRO-fessional track at Daytona, but the advantages this brings are almost too many to mention. First of all, you naturally get a better view of the action. Plus, the turns come quicker, which means what? That's right. What everyone goes to the race track for: More opportunity for crack-ups.
And aren't the cars at Daytona just a little slick? Wouldn't you rather see something with a little more character? At Speed World's Friday-night races, a lot of the cars have nothing but character. These are cars so beat up, if they crash, you might think it's a suicide pact.
And almost nowhere else can offer you the unparalleled thrill of a school-bus race.
You haven't experienced what some people call The Real Florida until you have been to a school-bus race in Bithlo. It's not just seeing these huge vehicles hunkering around a figure-eight track, broadsiding each other and performing a staggering amount of near misses. It's the crowd. It's just a guess, but for every 10 people there appears to be just as many teeth. And lots of camouflage wear, as though anyone would actually try to find these guys. Then there are the regular families just out to have a great night together -- hot dogs, boiled peanuts, beer -- cheering on their friends and neighbors (almost everyone in the stands knows a driver personally) and breathlessly anticipating what the weird race will be next month. We hear it's boat-trailer races. Wear camouflage so we can see you.
Speed World, 19164 E. Highway 50, Bithlo; (407) 568-5522. Races are scheduled at 6:30 p.m. Wednesdays and Fridays, 4 p.m. Saturdays, and run year-round with short breaks at Christmas and New Year's. Admission $10, or $12 on the first Saturday of each month for special events; age 11 and under, free.
Color Charm
When the M&Ms people added blue to the time-tested mix of red, yellow, green, orange and brown, they added a certain Willy Wonka Golden Ticket expectation to the act of ripping open a bag: Would yours have the new blue ones inside? If you were one who marveled at the new shellac-like finish like a jeweler examining a sapphire, there is, at FAO Schwarz, an orgy of M&M color that may make you melt like the candy doesn't.
Pink M&Ms. Purple M&Ms. Teal M&Ms. Black, white, gray, harvest gold, forest green, lavender and turquoise M&Ms. There are so many colors of M&Ms that you might feel like you're standing in front of the paint-swatch display at Sears, except that you don't get to eat the paint.
Here the M&Ms are displayed one color per bin, so you can buy just as much of each color as you want. You could get white M&Ms for a wedding, black M&Ms for a funeral. If you're a Gators fan, you could fill a jar of just blue and orange M&Ms for your next game-day party. If you didn't want anyone eating your M&Ms, you could get gray ones and put them in a jar on your gray desk, where they'd camouflage themselves as well as a stick bug. With this much shading, you could do a self-portrait in M&Ms and get it into Ripley's Believe It or Not.
So FAO Schwarz is an elaborate place to go for candy that can be had at 7-Eleven. But those with a designer eye will appreciate having M&Ms to match every outfit, making the world not only a sweeter but also a more colorful place.
FAO Schwarz, 9101 International Drive at Pointe Orlando, Orlando; (407) 352-9900. Hours 10 a.m.-10 p.m. daily.
Hog heaven
On a trip to Disney's Animal Kingdom, while on the safari ride that travels through the pretend savannas of Africa, the tram was temporarily delayed under a bridge on which were standing a couple of elephants. It is seldom you get to look up and see a sight like that.
But there is one place where you can replicate the experience of gazing up at a big ass (and we don't mean at the office): The Loaded Hog. You'll recognize the downtown bar by the giant hog, who is loaded, on the wall above the entrance. Walk in and turn around to see the rest of the animal hanging there, kind of like mistletoe, if mistletoe looked like a giant butt.
If you position yourself properly in the bar, you get a splendid view of these gargantuan pink pig cheeks all night long. While the bar has never taken up our earlier suggestion of having the curly tail occasionally spin around, dropping prizes on the patrons below, it's still a sight one feels compelled to force upon out-of-town visitors who want to go out for a beer, and those who don't know any better. It's also one of the few places you are perfectly justified in shouting, "God, look at that ass!"
The Loaded Hog, 11 N. Orange Ave., Orlando; (407) 649-1918.
Go once, go twice
The little old man in the big Stetson hat with a jaw stuffed full of tobacco and a voice like a gravel parking lot seems to be the star of the show. "Whatsa matter, ainchyall got any money?" he asks the crowd. "Go ask my wife, she got a ton of it."
This man, as well as the guys in the mechanics shirts, the trailer outside selling $1 hot dogs and the sing-songing auctioneer would all seem right in place if this were a livestock show. But it's not. It's Berner's Auction in DeLand, and a reminder of the humble beginnings -- or mid-lives -- that some swank things have before they reach antique dealers' showrooms with a 300 percent mark-up.
Twice a week auctions at Berner's offer some great bargains in antique, retro and modern furniture if you're quick enough to bid. Some things go high, some things low at the show that is frequented by dealers, but it's really the show that counts here. The place is filled with old guys who didn't want to let their Elvis haircuts go, even though those sideburns are white as snow these days, and stoic women who eye every item that comes out like it was a tennis ball at Wimbledon. An ashtray full of butts has to be removed before you can sit in a stuffed, upholstered chair (they're all like that), and the cigarette smoke can get so thick you'd think this was a bingo hall. (A sign on a corner desk says, "Do not stand here and talk." )
And all the while the spotters, like the man in the cowboy hat, try sporadically to drum up the excitement level in the crowd, saying things you don't expect to hear out of an antiques dealer, like " 'squisite," and "dat says Meisen right dere." Showing off a beautiful Italian inlaid gaming table designed with layers -- backgammon, then poker, then checkers -- the cowboy says, "And when the preacher leaves you got a full-fledged casino" before removing the checkers layer to reveal a mini roulette wheel embedded in the bottom of the table. The words are quicker, but the voice sounds like you're buying your high-quality antiques from the guy in Sling Blade.
You might not be in the market. But aren't the best things always the things you didn't expect to find?
Berner's Auction, 1500 Jacobs Rd. (at Highway 92), Deland; (904) 738-0406. Auctions take place 6 p.m. Tuesdays and 5 p.m. Wednesdays.
Tango the night away
When there seem to be a million things demanding your attention at the office, it's a nightmare. When there seem to be a million things demanding your attention at Cafe Tu Tu Tango, it's a gift.
In this beautiful restaurant, your eyes are taken up by the decor, done in the warm colors of a Mediterranean villa, and immediately start to follow the trail of art that lines the walls, all of it by local artists who may have created their work amid the tables right in this very restaurant. Then you might find your focus falling to one of these artists, like the Egg Man who, at our last visit, greeted guests while painting tiny images -- from happy frogs to details from the Sistine ceiling -- into hollowed-out eggs. Once on the way to your table, your path might be interrupted by the sexy, snaky belly dancers, or your head turned to locate the chattering castanets of the flamenco floor show.
The menu has to be explained a little. It's all appetizer-sized portions, perfect for sharing. (You can't go wrong with the seared tuna sashimi, the "Tango salad" and the guava-strawberry cheesecake.) Order a couple, and then a few more. You're not going to be able to concentrate on that menu for long while someone walks up and down past the window twirling a fire baton.
Cafe Tu Tu Tango, 8625 International Drive, Orlando; (407) 248-2222. Hours 11:30 a.m.-11 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, 11:30 a.m.-midnight Friday and Saturday.
Tails of the deep
"I've Heard the Mermaids Singing." You've got to admit that movie had a catchy title, pilfered from a T.S. Eliot poem. And while you can't actually hear the mermaids singing at Weeki Wachee, you can see them lip synch, suck air out of thick black tubing, smile sweetly and do synchronized swimming. The point is that you can actually see them. And that's a pretty amazing feat.
Weeki Wachee is one of the old guard of Florida attractions, built when there was nothing but orange trees and alligators decorating the roadsides where there now stand hotels, condos and two-story T-shirt shops that look as though they were designed by an architect with a vendetta. Slow cruises down the river offer another view of this grand-dame nature park (they dumped the long-running bird shows this year), but the crowning glory is, of course, the mermaids, young girls in makeup and tails.
Visitors descend into the underground mermaid theater, which has a huge picture window offering a view into the clear spring water. Then begins the bevy of aquatic pulchritude. The girls swim out in their metallic silver tails to act out a story for you, sometimes even with the benefit of inflatable sea monsters and strong-jawed heroes. Retromaniacs and cheese lovers can't help but swoon at this heartfelt continuance of a 50-year-old tradition.
If watching an underwater talent show in the middle of nowhere is not your idea of a good time, though -- and to many of us this may signal that you were born without a soul -- there is a water park next door that will provide the more modern thrills you need. Those looking for a little more character and what amounts to a time machine back to the earlier days of Florida, however, know there's a different kind of thrill to looking through the glass at the long, silken, suspended hair and glinting flickering tail of a mermaid performing a water ballet while gulping air through a rubber hose, and smiling a beauty pageant smile the entire time she's doing it. The siren song of Weeki Wachee must have something going for it to have lasted this long -- a staying power that, in Central Florida, is almost as mythical as mermaids themselves.
Weeki Wachee Water Park, located 1 hour and 15 minutes west of Orlando (take Highway 50 west to Highway 19, then south); (352) 596-2062. Hours 10 a.m.-6 p.m. daily except Friday, when the water park side stays open until 8 p.m. Admission $14.95 adults, $10.95 ages 3-10, includes both the historic springs attraction and the water park.
Bangs for your bucks
Orlando has a lot of billboards. Even God is now advertising along the I-4 corridor. With so much clutter that Universal's 3-D signs featuring E.T., King Kong and Kermit the Frog no longer merit a sideward glance, you have to devise something pretty alluring to make an impression.
One sign that manages to stand out like a wedding band in a Cheerios box isn't even a billboard. It's a low-key marquee, peering out of the junk pile of the International Drive tourist district. It says, "Shoot a machine gun."
If an offer like that doesn't get your attention, you should begin making funeral arrangements; your blood has slowed almost to a standstill. Gun ranges are, to the non-firearm-oriented, strange things in themselves. To advertise the chance to "shoot a machine gun" the same way Wet 'n Wild advertises its new water slide is just downright peculiar and, in many ways, typically Floridian. Never mind the mild, mild West; we are one of the gun-slingin'-est states in the Union, and also one of the most visited. Why not combine the two? Only instead of shooting the tourists, let the tourists do the shooting.
And given its location, much of the traffic at Shooting Sports of Orlando gun range does come from tourists, those who live in states with strict gun laws or countries where firearms are banned, and indeed on recent Sunday morning the only two customers home on the range were a pair of Englishmen.
Displayed for use with the handguns, single action Old West-style guns and shotguns (not for use until the range completes its expansion) are the machine guns: an MP5 9mm Heckler and Cotch that fires 900 rounds per minute, and a 1928 Thompson serial No. 4 45-calibre -- in other words, a Tommy gun -- that shoots a mere 600 bullets a minute. No one is firing them on this day, myself included (it was Shakespeare who said, "Know thyself -- if thou art clumsy, do not be shooting machine guns" ), but they do get a number of requests.
If you're over 18 you can shoot at Shooting Sports on your own -- in fact, if you're over 10 you can shoot there, but you have to bring along a parent or guardian. The range charges a fee of $12 for the whole day (yes, you can go out and come back, but you can't take the gun with you), plus firearm rental, ammunition, hearing and eye protection, and a fee for targets.
There's only one disturbing thing about having a gun range out in the tourist district: If they get any good at it, they might start firing back at us.
Shooting Sports of Orlando, 6811 Visitor's Circle (off International Drive), Orlando; (407) 363-900. Hours 10 a.m.-10 p.m. daily.
Ladies' night out
Honestly, there aren't a lot of historical sights in Orlando. And while the transient nature of a man-made tourist destination is often the subject of a lot of bitching, no one seems to think anything that has been here for longer than 10 years (outside of Disney) should be left standing.
There are a handful of exceptions, and the richest in character is Wally's Mills Avenue Liquors. Wally's has remained, from the looks of it, unchanged since it opened its doors in 1954. The definition of the neighborhood bar, Wally's has hosted everyone "from the local wino to the mayor," one employee says, confirming that several days a week you can't even get a seat at the bar when it opens -- at 7:30 a.m.
But the most mesmerizing thing about Wally's is the wallpaper. Put up in the late '60s or early '70s, the walls depict amber waves of girl -- naked ladies as far as the eye can see, all melding together in gold and brown tones. Nothing gives you more of the warm, snuggly feeling of drinking in a friend's basement than this mural of monochromatic feminine beauty that calls to mind boogie nights, shag carpeted vans, Barbie Benton and "Afternoon Delight."
Retro is very cool right now, and the coolest retro is the stuff that never went anywhere to come back from. Orlando has very little of that left. Thankfully there's Wally's. If you blend into the wallpaper, you're one foxy lady.
Wally's Mills Avenue Liquors, 1001 N. Mills Ave., Orlando; (407) 896-6975. Hours 7:15 a.m.-midnight Monday-Thursday, 7:15 a.m.-1 a.m. Friday-Saturday, noon-9 p.m. Sunday.
