ALTON BRICK CO., A CORPORATION, ET AL., PLAINTIFFS-APPELLEES,v.ALTON WATER CO., A CORPORATION, ET AL., DEFENDANTS-APPELLANTS.
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Madison County; the Hon.
JAMES O. MONROE, JR., Judge, presiding. Reversed and remanded.
Rehearing denied September 30, 1963.
This appeal involves the propriety of a decree entered in a class action brought on behalf of customers of the defendant Alton Water Company for refund of excess charges for water service furnished during the period of November 25, 1958 to August 1, 1960.
The defendant Alton Water Company was engaged in the business of furnishing water service to approximately 14,000 customers in Alton and neighboring areas. During the period from June 1, 1952 to January 1, 1958 it charged according to rates which had been approved by the Illinois Commerce Commission on May 20, 1952. On this appeal, these 1952 rates are referred to as the "100% Rates."
On February 5, 1957 defendant water company filed with the Illinois Commerce Commission a rate schedule proposing an increase in water rates of approximately 50% over the rates then in force. These rates are referred to as the "150% Rates." After a hearing, the Commission found that the 150% rates were unreasonable and directed the defendant water company to file a revised schedule, setting forth rates which the Commission found were just and reasonable. These rates provided for an increase of 47 1/2% over the 1952 rates, are hereinafter referred to as the "147 1/2% Rates," and were made effective as of January 1, 1958.
The City of Alton and others appealed from the Commission's order establishing the 147 1/2% rates to the Circuit Court of Madison County and on November 25, 1958 that court entered an order setting aside and vacating the order establishing the 147 1/2% rates. From that ruling, an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court of Illinois by the defendant water company and the Illinois Commerce Commission.
To stay the effect of the order of November 25, 1958, pending the appeal, the defendant water company posted a supersedeas bond in the amount of $270,000. On January 22, 1960 the Supreme Court issued its first opinion on the appeal. Petitions for rehearing were filed and on March 30, 1960 the Supreme Court filed a modified opinion, the concluding portion of which is as follows: (See 19 Ill.2d 76 at Page 93, 165 N.E.2d 513 at Page 523)
"For the reasons stated above, the circuit court properly reversed and set aside the order of the Illinois Commerce Commission. Its judgment must be modified, however, to order the cause remanded to the Commission for further proceedings in accordance with the views expressed in this opinion. (Citations) The judgment as so modified is affirmed."
The mandate of the Supreme Court was issued on April 1, 1960, was dated January 22, 1960 and filed in the Circuit Court on April 4, 1960. The mandate stated that the judgment of the Circuit Court of Madison County was affirmed in all things and was to stand in full force and effect notwithstanding the matters assigned for error "and modified to order the cause remanded to the Commission for further proceedings in accordance with the views expressed in the opinion." Costs were taxed against the appellant. A request for clarification and for an amendment of the mandate was made by the Commission and defendant water company, but the request was denied.
After the remand, upon motion of the defendants, the Circuit Court on May 9, 1960 entered an order pursuant to the mandate, remanding the cause to the Commission for further proceedings in accordance with the Supreme Court's opinion. On June 10, 1960 defendant water company filed a motion with the Commission requesting that it promptly effectuate the mandate.
On July 29, 1960 the Commission, without hearing any further evidence, entered an order authorizing the defendant water company to file a new schedule of rates effective August 1, 1960. The new rates established were equal to approximately 135.19% of the 1952 100% rates and will be referred to as the "135% rates."
An appeal was taken by the City of Alton and others from this new rate order to the Circuit Court of Madison County. The Circuit Court affirmed the new rate order and the Supreme Court reaffirmed on May 25, 1962. See 25 Ill.2d 112, 182 N.E.2d 665.
In the instant case, which is an original action brought in the Circuit Court of Madison County, the plaintiffs seek a refund for the period of time from November 25, 1958, when the Circuit Court set aside the 147 1/2% rates, to August 1, 1960, the effective date of the Commission's order establishing the present 135.19% rates. This period of time will be referred to herein as the "refund period." During this period of time, by virtue of the supersedeas bond, defendant water company collected rates in accordance with the 147 1/2% rate schedule.
The present suit was filed on April 1, 1960 and was brought to recover upon the supersedeas bond. Under it, plaintiffs claim they are entitled to a refund of the difference between the amount collected during the refund period and the amounts which would have been collected under the 1952 100% rate schedule. The Court held that the plaintiffs were correct in their position, that the amount of the refund due exceeded the amount of the bond, and entered judgment in favor of plaintiffs for the sum of $270,000 (the principal amount of the bond) plus interest, computed at 5% per annum from January 22, 1960, being the date of the Supreme Court's first opinion affirming the appeal on the 147 1/2% rate schedule.
On June 24, 1960, plaintiffs were granted leave to amend their complaint by adding Count II, a class action, alleging a common law claim for a refund of the difference between the amount collected during the refund period and the 1952 100% rate schedule, with interest at 5%. Under this count, the court found in favor of the plaintiffs for the difference between the amount collected during the refund period (147 1/2% rates) and the 1952 100% rates, together with interest at the rate of 5% per annum from November 25, 1958.
Counts I and II were referred by the trial court to a special master for hearing of evidence and oral arguments. After the master had heard evidence and was preparing a draft of his report, plaintiffs requested leave to further amend the complaint by adding a third count. Leave was granted on June 23, 1961 and Count III was added. It also was a representative suit and alleged a cause of action under Section 73 of the Public Utilities Act. (Ill Rev Stats 1961, c 111 2/3, § 77.) In Count III, plaintiffs asked for a refund in the same amount as under Count II and in addition demanded exemplary and punitive damages for alleged willfulness in charging the 147 1/2% rates from January 22, 1960 (the date of the first opinion of the Supreme Court) to August 1, 1960 (the effective date of the Commission's order setting up the 135.19% rates) and also asked for attorneys fees. The trial court held for plaintiffs on Count III and decreed that the defendant water company was liable to the plaintiffs for exemplary and punitive damages and for attorney fees for "wilfully charging said unlawful water rates."
The decree of the court further provided that the liability against the defendants under Counts I, II and III was not to be cumulative as to any or all of the plaintiffs and that liability or payment to the respective plaintiffs should be adjusted as equity required pro rata and pro tanto, as to all items.
The defendant water company recognizes that it must make a refund to plaintiffs, but it is the defendants' contention that they are liable only on Count I and then only to the extent of the difference between the amounts collected during the refund period (147 1/2%) and the amounts which would have been collected had the rates ultimately found to be just (135.19%) been in effect during the refund period, together with ...

McPherson College's basketball teams are hoping for a repeat performance against Bethel Saturday night when they begin the second round of KCAC play in North Newton.
The women start the action at 5 p.m., with the men to follow at 7.
The Mac women and Bethel are tied for sixth place in the KCAC at 3-6, but the Bulldogs currently hold the tiebreaker because of a 70-46 rout over the Threshers at the Sport Center that began conference play. It may have been the Bulldogs' best performance of the year in a victory.
The Bulldogs are still looking for their first win since the Christmas break. They were 7-6 before the holiday, but have lost eight straight. They are coming off a terrific performance Wednesday in a 73-67 loss to first-place and nationally ranked Southwestern, one that coach Gordon Reimer labeled as "the best of the year."
The Mac men drilled Bethel 92-54 in the first matchup and the Threshers are still looking for their first win of the season. They have lost 18 in a row and were whipsawed 112-77 by Bethany on Wednesday as Ibin IbnIdris went off for a school-record 46 points.
Bethel did nearly defeat Southwestern, losing 69-66. The Threshers also played Baker within four points, 54-50, so they're capable of giving the Bulldogs a game if they don't have proper focus.
A win for the Mac men would even their overall record at 11-11.

I had another personal trainer session today with the lovely Steve (InterS.E.P.T Fitness) and I ache now, but I feel very satisfied :).
Sorry I didn't post about my last session, but it was the same day I went down with the stomach flu that laid me out until the following Wednesday and I didn't have the energy.
We started off today with me showing Steve how I had mastered the advanced plank with ball, where mastered means I did not fall flat on my face as I did the previous session where Steve first showed me it. Rather than being on the floor for this one, your hands are on the floor with straight arms and your knees and lower leg are on an exercise ball with the rest of the body completely straight (it's a great exercise for core and abs).
When Steve first showed me this one there was much hilarity as I kept collapsing in a heap just trying to get into the initial shape. However, this week I figured out how to do it by coming from above the ball and moving across into the position rather than trying to lift up from the floor.
To make it even harder you then sway your legs from side to side to your tipping point and back up - this uses all the muscles down your sides (I can do between 4 and 6 of those before I end up in the aforementioned, hilarious heap :)).
Then we moved on to the real workout. Today we did something of a circuit using the exercise bike for legs and to keep up my heart rate and then exercises for my upper body in between.
- 1 min on the exercise bike - not flat out, but keeping the heart rate up.
- 10 pushups (Steve's choice - I only do them from my knees because I can't get my feet in the right position to do full ones - here's one of Steve's tips, if you are finding them impossible, stick your bottom in the air and partially bend from there - it will take off some of the pressure, but allow you to still do the exercise and you can use the proper form once you are strong enough)
- 1 min on the exercise bike
- 10 Russian twists (My choice - I use a ball between my hands rather than a weight and I sit on the floor - you need to remember to keep good posture for this one because it twists your back and you might hurt something it you aren't holding yourself correctly)
- 1 min on the exercise bike
- 10 in front and behind head lifts with the barbell. Steve's choice - I'm not sure what this one is called precisely, but you sit with your back straight (I was on the large exercise ball so it was working my core for stability too, but a bench or chair would be fine) you use a wide grip on the bar and you push up, then bring the bar down behind your head to the level where there is the bobble on the back of your skull, then push it up again (don't let it go lower or it puts too much pressure on the back of your shoulders). This is one rep.
- 1 min on the exercise bike
- 20 crunches on the exercise ball - my choice :)
- 1 min on the exercise bike
- 20 seated rows using resistance band (Steve's choice - I actually had the band on our Reebok bench rather than my feet, but it looks like the same movement in the linked vid)
- 1 min on the exercise bike
- All of the exercises back to back without the bike in between (this part is evil ;))
- Few minutes on the exercise bike at a gentle pace to bring the heart rate down slowly. This is important because if you just stop after keeping your heart pumping fast, the blood vessels that have all opened up thanks to the exercise remain open, but there is less pressure so you can become light headed as the blood stops pumping as fast. If you ease your heart rate down gradually the vessels contract as well and you won't find yourself with a need to put your head between your knees :).
Next Steve, the gem that he is, has figured out a way I can do deadlifts. As I mentioned before, me doing a tradition deadlift is likely to end up with the barbell somewhere it was never meant to be and me sprawled across the room :). So Steve has come up with an exercise which uses the same muscle groups, but has me kneeling.
Now the basic movement without weights is great for the quads. You kneel on the floor and sit back so your bottom is on your feet. Now for anyone like me who has fixed ankles, this might hurt a bit, or put too much stress on your tendons - fear not, pop a partially rolled up yoga mat or towel or cushion under your lower legs to relieve the pressure.
Keeping your back straight use your legs only to come into an upright kneeling position. The instinct will be to bend forward and use a rocking motion to help - DON'T, this is cheating :). Your legs should be doing all the work.
So this is the basic motion and then Steve gave me two dumbbells to hold with straight arms while doing the same exercise. You are allowed to rock forward a little when doing it with the weights, but always remember to keep your back straight and at the end of the motion push your chest out and your shoulders back to complete the movement, before lowering back down again.
Following this I was delighted (sarcasm ;)) to discover I have been doing side leg lifts wrong my entire life. I have been exercising the strong muscle at the front, when in fact I want to be exercising the small, underused muscle on the side.
However, it is easy to correct. You have to make sure your hips are thrust forward as you lie on your side so your body is in a straight line, then you lift your leg in a scissor action. You can tell you are getting it right because you will feel the muscle you never realised you had as you lift your leg, go 'ow, you silly arse, what do you think you're doing?!' ;). Your hips will want to slide backwards, so clench those bottom muscles and keep them thrust forward. I did 10 of these for each leg.
Next came the joy of the glutes combo - oh how I love this one ... NOT! :) Ladies, you will be glad to hear we are usually better at this one than the gents at first go. I mentioned this in my previous post, but I will mention it again for clarity. Start on your hands and knees:
- 5 toe taps (leg straight out the back so your toe is resting on the ground, lift up the leg, without twisting your body, then lower back and tap the ground - this is one rep)
- 5 kick backs (leg bent at the knee, bring it up to the chest and kick backwards, straightening the leg, without twisting your body, then bring it back in)
- 5 leg cocks (this looks just like a dog cocking it's leg, bend your leg at the knee then lift it up to the side as if you are looking for a lampost before bringing it back down again ;))
- 5 side kickbacks (bring your leg up to the side like the previous exercise, then push it back until it is straight before bringing it back to the original position - this one is the hardest)
- repeat for second leg
Steve also adapted one of his other exercises for me. You need a chair or something of a similar height for this one.
Normally you stand and bring your leg round, up and over the chair (stand back from the chair - you don't actually have to be in range, it is just so you can judge your leg sweep), just letting it tap the ground before you do the same again. You do this 10 times for each leg.
You can also do it sitting, just aim for something or relative height. Your aiming for a circular motion to exercise the whole hip area.
We moved on to some boxing next and I have finally finished my first boxing set. I have just had to send Steve an email to make sure I am remembering it right because I was an idiot and didn't write it down straight away, but I managed it during the session :). Boy, hitting things can be fun ;).
Then we did lots of stretches to finish up - so important to make sure you stretch out the muscles. 20-30 secs per stretch is what's recommended by Google, but I just did them for however long Steve told me to :).
- shoulder stretches (put your arm across your body out straight and pull it towards you, keeping your shoulder down)
- shoulder stretches using ball (put your arm across the ball, brace your other arm on the floor and lower your body until you feel the stretch in the shoulder)
- leg stretches with bent knee (lie on your side, grab your foot and pull it up behind your leg)
- triceps stretches (lift your arm above your head, reach down behind your neck and pull on your arm with your other hand)
So there you have it, my personal fitness session today with my awesome personal trainer Steve (InterS.E.P.T Fitness) :).
When I started the session I was feeling somewhat apprehensive because I'm still suffering the after effects of the stomach flu, in that I can't quite do as much as a I could before, but Steve is wonderful. He made sure that everything was set up so I could push it as far as I wanted and pull back if I needed to. By the end I felt so much happier and confident that I can actually do this. I ache now, but it is an accomplished ache.
I think this is one of the reasons that a personal trainer is so useful. I've been feeling less than top form all week, even though the symptoms of the bug I had are gone and exercising has been hard and a bit soul destroying. I wouldn't have bothered today if not for my session, and now I feel so much better about it all and raring to go again. The fact that I told Steve I was having a little trouble and he said it was perfectly normal after an illness like that was exactly what I needed to hear, even as he still showed me options to push on.
Do you ever look at a sport or exercise and wish you could do it, but are afraid to try?

After following Laurie's stories of her grandparents, I have been thinking a great deal about mine. I've already written about my father's scary stepmother (post of Jan. 28th) but I know a great deal more about my mother's parents, who lived in Ghent, Belgium. This is my grandfather, Arthur. A quiet, decent, easygoing man, with a great love for his family, he died when I was two, but was spoken of so often and adoringly by my mother that I felt I knew him better than I did. My grandmother Rachel married him in defiance of the wishes of her own mother, who refused to come to the wedding or to even speak to her for some time afterwards, although it was a good match to a man who was well-respected and frequently sought out for advice and help.
Arthur said little and thought much, and when he made up his mind about something that he felt should be done, he remained quietly determined, and generally got his way. During the early days of the war, after the Nazis overran Holland and Belgium, he met a man in the street who, in great distress, told him that his house had just been commandeered by the German Army and that he, his wife and their son had been summarily kicked out. And as a Jew, this man knew enough to recognise that things would rapidly get worse. My grandfather simply said "Come with me", and took him to my grandmother, and that was how a Jewish family lived secretly in a back room of my grandparents' home for months, until they were able to be smuggled out to Switzerland. (And the smuggling out part of the saga belongs to my mother, who could tell a story like no one else, full of drama and excitement, yet devoid of true horror or fear until we were old enough to understand. And even then, she edited out so much that was unpleasant that we could only guess at the privations and dangers they all faced during those dreadful years.)
This picture, found in Tante Mimi's things, was taken well after the war, and I would guess dates from around 1948/9. The note on the back, in my mother's hand, reads (very roughly translated) as "Papa wants me to say that the old lady next to him isn't with him!" Tante Mimi would have had a good chuckle at that, and especially at the old lady's hat.
The desire to help others ran very strongly in my mother too, and combined with the strong will and refusal to bow down to unreasonable rules, that she inherited from her mother, makes me feel that had she found herself in a situation like Arthur's, the decision to risk extreme personal danger in order to help another human being would have come as simply and naturally to her as it did to him. I look back on their respective lives with wonder and admiration, and also with a suspicion that under similar pressure, I would not be able to match their standards and their moral certainty.

In less than an hour Sheena will be showing her new stamps and a brand new product. I've not long been back from dropping the samples of at Peterborough, Sheena is there safe and sound, ready to work her magic.
Today's card is my favourite card of this batch, not quite certain where the inspiration came from, could be something to do with all the seaside holidays as a child. The shops near the front selling all the shell jewellery.
The new product works very well with Distress Ink, so I'm happy.
Will spend the afternoon making samples for the Tattered Lace show,ideas flowing already plus watching Sheena of course.
So for now Happy Crafting.

You would imagine these kids were mature professional musicians when you hear them play. It was a good concert. The lighting was such that I didn't get any good photos.
But after that concert, I had time to wander around the museum before heading to the next concert.
This is in the museum. I don't know why, but the building has a cloister. Wikipedia says: A cloister is a rectangular open space surrounded by covered walks or open galleries, with open arcades on the inner side, running along the walls of buildings and forming a quadrangle or garth.
So the entrance has a beautiful door. This is the inside.
This is a photo of one of a series of three big windows looking out of a gallery onto Dayton. It always looks better in person. I've photographed it before
The Art Institute now has a nice restaurant. I ate there in December. There is a lot of natural light.
This window is in the building near the cloister. From what I've read, the museum was once a private home. Maybe there is more to the history of the place!
I left the Art Institute and drove over to the neighborhood my dad once lived in. At the church they have a historic organ, one of only two that survive from the early 20th century in Dayton. I think there were six back then. They're huge and lovely to look at. I wanted to see the church again and hear the organ, but I had no idea what I was in for.
I was sitting under this window. I didn't want to distract anyone with my flash. I took photos with my camera, but I'm in a hurry this morning. Whatever - the point is that the concert was out of this world. It was based, historically, off the 1920 organ dedication concert. I was amazed at the delicate notes and the softness such an organ, played by a real professional, can produce. The soprano solos were breathtaking and at the end of Schubert's Ave Maria, my heart was pounding! There was also violin solo, which was fantastic.
I'm trying to get the three of them ready to leave for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which is at least 3 hours away. Now I have to go yell at someone. They move so slowly. Have a good day!

The elves fell in droves before Arn and his companions. Still they kept attacking – they had courage, he had to admit.
And they had numbers to spare. Without Arn and his companions, the village would have fallen for certain. For the dozenth time, Arn wondered if they fought for the right side. All empires must eventually fall, and this one had been staggering for some time, stretching itself thin as it went.
Not to mention, this was the regime that had condemned Arn in a horseshit farce of a trial, sentenced him to death, let him escape, and promptly pardoned him when he returned with a chained-up thief and some papers.
Theywere weak and indecisive.
He would dance to their tune for now, Arn had decided, because those he travelled with fiercely believed that the empire was worth fighting for, and Arn considered them friends – he had no wish to see them dead.
But even with their help, the Empire would not survive for long, he was sure of it. He just hoped he would live long enough to watch its final breath.

A local area of outstanding natural beauty has been marred by an extreme case of fly tipping.
A St Cyrus dog walker and her husband noticed the large mounds of refuse, which are close to the Northwater Bridge on the river bank, when out walking their family pet.
After seeing the story on the front page of Review last week, about fly tipping at Broomfield in Montrose, the St Cyrus resident alerted us about a number of black bin bags, full of waste, that have been dumped in what looks like a man-made hole by the River North Esk.
The bags have burst, exposing hundreds of glass bottles and tin cans, fishing boxes and even wellies, which have spread across the river embankment.
The walkway beside the North Esk is a popular spot with ramblers, families and dog walkers.
The St Cyrus resident said: "It's a disgrace. It's shocking the extent of rubbish that has been dumped. It has either been dumped over a long period of time or someone has buried it and with the recent high tides it has exposed all the rubbish.
"It's such a beautiful untouched spot. Whoever did this has no respect for the people and families who walk by the river or the environment.
"You don't know what is in those bags and what could be leaking into the river.
"There is no excuse. There is a recycling centre in Montrose, which is only a two or three-mile drive away."
Head of protective services and waste management at Aberdeenshire Council Ian Robertson said: "Aberdeenshire Council encourages people to be as proud of our open spaces as we are of our towns and cities and provides waste bins in public areas to ensure the environment is clean and tidy.
"We will investigate any issues of fly tipping in St Cyrus and ask members of the public to contact us.
"Fly tipping in any form is unacceptable and we ask that, if you see rubbish being left in a public area, you report it as soon as possible, through the website or call the Wasteline on 0845 600 3 900, details can also be sent by text to Textshire on 07624 802 722."

I hopped over to the edge of the portal and peered out into the tunnel. I could hear the creatures nearby, shifting more objects and dumping stuff on the ground. They were in a world I had not yet explored, a place that Big Guy and the High-Voiced One disappeared into at night. I had assumed that it was their Home Place.
As I glanced into the strange world across the tunnel from my own sanctuary, I glimpsed their feet moving around the area. I had to make a decision. Should I stay where I was or should I hop into this unexplored land and attack these invaders over there?

If you'd be a cat - with sharp claws and big canines for attack and defense - I'd say explore.
Being a more vulnerable bunny - you might want to think about it....

This Halloween, our company hosted a Cubicle decorating contest. Some people went all out for this this. Veronica's cubicle (while rather gory) was my favorite!
|The deceased was missing his head!
Detective Anita Klew (Say it out loud) was on the case!
|Veronica as Police Detective Anita Klew
with the victim
I find it mildly disturbing that she bought the fake blood spatters at her neighborhood Target... I mean, it's funny for Halloween, but it's also rather icky.
I was wandering around in costume, without my glasses on, so pardon the fuzzy photos!
It was pretty funny when the company president, Jimmy, emailed photos of Veronica with the "body" to the company at large and said, "[The] Honeymoon is over for Veronica. She brought her husband to the office"!

Story highlights
- Watch a new promo for the upcoming season of 'American Crime'
(CNN)Benito Martinez only had a bit part on the last season of "American Crime," but in Season 3, the actor steps into what will be one of his meatiest roles yet on the ABC anthology series.
The actor will play a father who travels to the United States illegally from Mexico to go searching for his missing son -- a journey that will give his character a front-row seat to some complex issues taking place in the country's agricultural communities.
Martinez takes center stage in the season's new poster, which you're seeing first on CNN.
But as always on "American Crime," Season 3 won't just tackle one issue or one point of view.
Regina King, who last season played the wealthy mother of a high school basketball player entangled in a sexual assault case, will this season play a social worker who aims to help young clients.
Connor Jessup will play a young addict who is recruited into farm work and becomes a witness to numerous injustices.
Felicity Huffman, Timothy Hutton and Lili Taylor also return in a season that will highlight workers' rights, reproductive rights, human trafficking and immigration.
"Grey's Anatomy" alum Sandra Oh also joins the cast of the Emmy-nominted series.
For a new look at some of them in action, watch a new promo for the upcoming season below.
"American Crime" season 3 premieres Sunday, March 12 at 10 p.m.

She has come so very far, the girl with the red hair. What I originally started out with is miles from where she ended up. It took me a long time to say that she was complete. She is sailing and she is accompanied on her journey by her friend the black bird and Hope, her trusty boat. I really feel like she is more then just a painting, she is a story humming along in the back of my mind. Who knows where she will end up. For now she is hanging out here on the sea of life, content. That's about all for now. I am going to try really hard to have some new things to share really soon. Thanks for stopping by.

The reason the recent philanthropy by Warren Buffet (giving $31 billion to the Gates Foundation) is important to the Parkway is that it shows the huge potential philanthropy has to suddenly change the dynamics of a public issue (in this case that of pubic health).
A direction we have proposed for the Parkway (suffering from ineffective management and scarce funding) is to allow a nonprofit organization to provide management and fund development because what can happen when you mix the good will of people with the public good can be wonderful.
Here is an excerpt.
Editorial: Buffett's generosity
A notable gift, a notable example
Published 12:01 am PDT Wednesday, June 28, 2006
The amount of money is so large -- who can really imagine having $31 billion, much less giving it away? -- that the magnitude of Warren Buffett's philanthropy is hard to grasp. But the Omaha investor's decision to donate the bulk of his fortune to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is enormous, and not just in terms of the sum involved. It literally has the potential to change the world.
Buffet's donation, combined with the Gates Foundation's existing endowment of more than $25 billion, will create a philanthropic endeavor on a scale never seen before, with ambitions to match. At the announcement of Buffett's gift, Gates spoke of the possibility of developing a vaccine for AIDS and curing the 20 most prevalent infectious diseases in the world.

At some point in time (1974?), my mother enrolled me and my sister PJ in CCD (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine) classes at St. Therese. They were held every Wednesday evening and at one point in time, they almost cut into my favorite new show – Happy Days.
This Is Where Ericka Accidentally Tripped Me

This Is Where Ericka Accidentally Tripped Me
Originally uploaded by kristinafh
Selsa Couch also enrolled Ericka in CCD and between the two of them, they coordinated the pick up and drop off of the three of us to the classes.
During second grade, Ericka and I went through some special preparation which led up to two events – First Communion (and more on this later) and The Sacrament of Penance. I was puzzled by the latter. The idea was to confess our sins and to be freed from them while at the same time, seeking mercy and forgiveness from God. There were categories of sins and ways in which people showed that they were sorry for them.
My very first time was a bit scary and intimidating. In the multi-purpose room (in the St. Therese school/church building), they set up the confessional – um – I guess box? It was dark brown – one side was where the priest sat – cloaked in privacy and the other side was where the confessor sat. In between us was a wooden, sliding window. It was to be pulled open when the confessor was ready to begin.
I thought long and hard about what to confess and amazingly – I had to really stretch the "bad" things because I truly was a good kid. Seriously!
I remember telling Father Frank that I had been mean to my sister Patty (I left out the part that she provoked me – the little brat that she was), I thought mean things about my mom and dad, and I had told 2 lies to friends (okay – those were white lies because Colleen Wooden had asked me if I liked the way she cut her Barbie's hair and I said sure – I didn't want to hurt her feelings).
Ericka went right before me so when I was finished, I joined her in the church, with my rosary to say the prayers assigned to me (10 Our Fathers and 3 Hail Mary's). Although we were being watched closely by our CCD teachers, we compared our punishment through a pre-designated sign language system. Fancy that we both received the same number of prayers!
After it was all over, and we were waiting for Selsa to pick us up, Ericka dropped the bombshell on me that she would probably be moving at the end of the school year. It seems that her dad Larry was moving up in the world so they were going to move into a big ole house far away from me.
I was stunned and said nothing.
As we were running down the sidewalk to meet her mom's car, I tripped and fell, cutting up my calf and knee pretty badly. I accused Ericka of tripping me and truth be told – I'm not sure if she did (accidentally) or if my clumsy self with my big feet, tripped over something like an indentation in the pavement. We were horsing around as we were running so either could have been the case. I sobbed – almost hysterically. Sure, there was lots of blood and crappy gravel-ish stuff in my knee but looking back, I think the tears were really about me losing my best friend. She had been my "constant" for three years. I felt like the rug was pulled out from under me. But I never told anybody that (until now).
The next day, Ericka came over to my house and delivered to me a "get well" plant along with a handwritten note about how sorry she was for tripping me. I couldn't even look at her. While looking at the ground, I accepted her gift and then went back to the dinner table to eat.
My mom was impressed with Ericka's gesture. I kept silent during the entire meal. Everything tasted like paper but I knew that if I didn't eat, it would draw attention to myself and I would be subjected to questioning. I ate. Kept quiet and took the pain to bed with me.
Me and Ericka never talked about the accidental tripping situation again nor did we have any discussions about the move. When we were together, we just didn't talk about that. Selsa would give my mom details and my mom would mention things to me. But me and Ericka – nope – we never talked about her moving.
And it happened. She moved to a big ole fancy house on Hadley Road. And another chapter in our relationship began.

It's always fun to show off your hometown to friends and family when they come to visit. This is especially true for residents of the Mile High City, as Denver attractions, festivals and sightseeing are among the best in the country.
The only problem is that visitors usually only stay for a few days, and there are enough exciting things to do in Denver to occupy several weeks or even months. I moved to Denver from Florida last year – for no other reason than I wanted to. It seemed like a place I would love living in and I'm pleased to report that I do. So for me, showcasing the highlights is a task I relish in planning and look forward to executing.
I've played host five times now and here I present my list of the best things to in Denver when your loved ones darken your doorstep.
1) 16th Street Mall
Sixteen blocks of shopping, food and libations offer a little something for everyone. Stock up on kitschy Colorado souvenirs at Where the Buffalo Roam or indulge in gourmet cuisine and handcrafted microbrews from one of the countless downtown Denver restaurants. You can even catch a movie at the United Artist Theaters or challenge your friends to a game of bowling at Lucky Strike Lanes. When 3:00 p.m. rolls around, grab a table on the patio of the Paramount Cafe for great happy hour specials and some seriously entertaining people-watching.
2) Sunset drinks at the Hyatt Regency's Peaks Lounge
The Hyatt Regency on 15th Street is a short walk from the Paramount Cafe. (Not to be confused with the Grand Hyatt on Welton.) Take the elevator to the 27th floor for 180 degree views of downtown and the front range. Drinks are a bit on the expensive side, but well worth the markup when the sun slips behind the mountains and the blinds are lifted from the floor-to-ceiling windows.
3) Golden and Coors Brewery
You can't come to Colorado and not "tap the Rockies", as the old commercials used to say. Self-guided audio tours of Coors Brewery, the world's largest single site brewing facility, are completely free. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy ample samples in the hospitality lounge at the end of the tour, so you really come out the winner here. Afterward leave your car in Coors' parking lot and stroll a few blocks into quaint, historic downtown Golden.
4) Red Rocks Amphitheater
Even if you aren't able to catch one of the many summer shows at this world renowned venue, it is still a "must do" in Denver. The natural beauty of the geological formations is awe-inspiring, and watching your sea-level friends huff and puff up the extensive stairway at high altitude is hilarious. Make sure they make it to the top so you can check out the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame located in the Visitor's Center. It is filled with memorabilia from the likes of The Beatles, Tom Petty, The Grateful Dead, and many others who have graced the stage.
5) Rocky Mountain National Park
If time permits, take the 90 minute drive northwest through Estes Park to one of the country's most stunning natural treasures. Activities abound, from hiking, biking, climbing, camping, picnicking and horseback riding. Or just take a scenic drive to the summit of Trail Ridge Road and take in the incredible views. You may very well spot elk, deer, moose, or Colorado's state animal, the bighorn sheep.
No matter what you plan to do with your out of town guests, make sure you highlight the Denver attractions that are closest to your heart. It won't be hard for them to see why you and so many others choose to call this amazing city home.

What Do You Want – and How Badly?
This is a fascinating article by author Mark Manson, which is definitely worth a read…
If I ask you, "What do you want out of life?" and you say something like, "I want to be happy and have a great family and a job I like," it's so ubiquitous that it doesn't even mean anything.
A more interesting question, a question that perhaps you've never considered before, is what pain do you want in your life? What are you willing to struggle for? Because that seems to be a greater determinant of how our lives turn out.
It's so true… I often get told I'm lucky that I'm motivated enough to write a book, or work out every day, or travel, or whatever… But it's not luck. It's just wanting it enough to sacrifice other things in order to achieve it.
Writing a book involves endless hours/days/months of hard work – and sacrificing time with friends, giving up reading for pleasure, limiting time spent chilling out watching Arrow with Juz, definitely sacrificing sleep – but to me it's worth it…
Working out every day definitely requires sleep sacrifice too, and it's hard, and it hurts, and it involves a lot of effort and stubbornness and dedication and commitment, but it's worth it to me to feel stronger (mentally as well as physically), to be fitter and healthier and (hopefully) avoid some illnesses…
Even travelling requires sacrifice – buying fewer clothes, going out less, taking your lunch to work etc, to save up. A friend was jealous I was going travelling for three months – but spent all her money on very expensive shoes and equally expensive wine. She didn't want it enough to give those things up. Which is fine. It's your choice, so own that choice.
You just have to decide what matters to you. Because it doesn't matter if you don't want to write a book or get fit or go travelling or be a rock star or whatever it is you think you want. Realising that a dream is not actually a dream is very liberating – you can stop struggling and stressing and beating yourself up about not doing it, and enjoy your life.
So, what do you want? And more importantly, is it worth struggling for? If it is, DO IT! Live your dream. Work hard at it. Sacrifice something for it. Make it happen… xx
The Heart of Brazil
This is an article I wrote for InSpirit Magazine, which appeared in their January 2015 issue. Someone was asking me about it the other day, so here it is…
I believe the earth is sacred and nature is healing, and I've learned a little about myself, and gained some kind of healing, from every place I've travelled to. From plant medicine ceremonies in the jungles of the Amazon and pagan rituals in the English countryside to meditations inside Egypt's Great Pyramid and spiritual pilgrimages along the leylines of Spain, I've long appreciated the magic of the earth itself to heal us.
The South American country of Brazil is no different. It's a place of powerful crystals, ancient magic, exotic spirituality, lush rainforests, dramatic waterfalls, potent energy and intense vibrations. My journey began in the hot, dry north, a place of sun-soaked, primal energy. Salvador is the centre of Afro-Brasilian culture and of Candomble, a spiritual tradition developed from the rituals introduced by African slaves, the Catholicism they hid their practices within, and the animistic beliefs of the Amerindian people native to this land. I was so grateful to be able to attend a Candomble ritual in the home of a priestess, which was fascinating, with its primitive drum beats, trance dancing and channeling of messages from their deities.
I felt more at home in the south though, at Iguazu Falls, the sacred meeting point of air, land and water (and three separate countries – Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay), and a place of rainbows and wild nature. The thermal resort of Caxambu was also deeply healing, and I felt refreshed and renewed as I soaked in the heated mineral waters of one spring and drank from a cooler source. The twelve different springs all have a different mineral composition (and a different taste!), and are recommended for the treatment of various different ailments, from kidney stones to eye problems, high blood pressure and infertility.
Spiritual travellers also flock to the village of Sao Thome das Letras, which is located on a bed of quartz rock in the mountains and is famous for the number of UFO sightings that have taken place there, as well as for the entrance to a tunnel claimed to burrow all the way to Machu Picchu in Peru, which is kind of spooky to climb down into. Some claim it is one of the seven energy points of the planet, and the vibration of the area is palpable.
But my most profound healing experience took place in the centre of Brazil, the heart of the country, where the energy is nurturing and gentle. Joao Teixeira de Faria, known as John of God, has been healing people for decades in the tiny village of Abadiania. He was guided to build his healing centre, the Casa de Dom Inacio (the House of Saint Ignatius), here because it's located on one of the largest quartz crystal deposits in the world, and quartz amplifies healing vibrations. You can certainly feel the energy of the land here. The gardens surrounding the buildings are a place of immense peace and power, and it's wonderful to just relax under the trees, meditating on the wooden benches, talking to other pilgrims and soaking up the sunshine and the leylines of the earth.
Nearby is a sacred waterfall, and a visit is often prescribed as part of people's treatment. An underground stream flows through the crystal beds beneath the Casa and is purified and charged with energy before splashing down into the waterfall. It's wonderful to submerge yourself in its (refreshingly cold and) healing waters, gazing up at the sky through the green canopy overhead, absorbing the ancient power of nature, and of the crystals and the earth itself. Some people have visions there; others feel physically, emotionally or spiritually cleansed, and it's considered a sacred place for direct communication with Spirit.
The incredible healing energy of the land in this area is an important part of Joao's work, but so are the visible operations, psychic surgeries and energy work he performs at the Casa. He has cut tumours out of bodies, got wheelchair-bound people walking, cured cancer, blindness and HIV, and facilitated spiritual and emotional healing from grief, depression and psychological disorders. Yet the seventy-three-year-old dubbed the Miracle Man can't read or write and has no medical training. Instead he is a medium, channelling thirty-three different entities, many of them deceased Brazilian doctors and surgeons, as well as the founder of the Jesuits the Casa is named after. It is they who diagnose the thousands of people who flock to Abadiania every week, prescribe the herbal medicines and perform the surgeries. Joao doesn't even remember what he's done at the end of a session – he's an "unconscious medium", giving his body over while he channels the medical experts through. Staff at the Casa can tell which being he is incorporating by his mannerisms, voice and even eye colour, which changes depending on which entity is working through him on a particular day.
I don't know how or why it seems to work; certainly it defies logical explanation and understanding. Joao has been studied by doctors and scientists from around the world, but no one has been able to explain what he does or prove him a fake. He has his sceptics, but it's hard to doubt when you've experienced it yourself and seen it with your own eyes. I witnessed some visible surgeries – which I struggled with because I am squeamish and their gruesome vividness was confronting – and was astounded by the quick recovery and effectiveness for those who had them.
I took my mum in the hope Joao could cure her diabetes, so I was surprised, when I went before the entity on my first day, to be told I'd be having an operation that afternoon. Terrified by the prospect of an eye scraping or scissors up the nose, his most common treatment, the whole time I waited to go in I prayed for it to be an invisible surgery. Thankfully, it was. I filed in to a small room with several others and sat in meditation, then Joao came in and said a prayer in Portuguese, asking the entities to heal us. I felt a sensation below my chest – not pain exactly, but discomfort, as though something was being done there. When I went back to my room, where I was instructed to rest for 24 hours, the area was swollen and sore. If I was imagining it, it would not have been there that I pictured something being done. I also felt dazed and vague, much like the after-effects of anaesthesia. In scientific tests of Joao's patients, x-rays have discovered incisions and internal stitches in people who've had invisible operations.
After resting, I spent the next day and a half in current – when visitors are not having an operation, they sit in the surrounding room, meditating in order to raise the vibration and send energy to Joao and the entities. I went back for revision the following week and sat in the current room again, spent time at the sacred waterfall, had a crystal bed session, and went before Joao with a photo of a sick friend, who was prescribed herbal medicine. I was also prescribed herbs for 55 days, along with slight dietary changes.
My migraines did improve for a while, although I was not cured. Nor, unfortunately, was my mum. But we met people who had been diagnosed with terminal illnesses and dramatically cured by Joao, including a woman who was riddled with cancer and told she would soon die – she's since dedicated her life to helping him as a volunteer – an American man crippled with arthritis, who was slowly beginning to walk again, the woman who ran our pousada, who was cured of a brain tumour, and an Aussie healed of a near-fatal heart murmur. We also met an amazing Brazilian woman who'd travelled to the Casa in search of both emotional and physical healing. When she saw Joao he told her to start painting for him. She replied that she had no artistic talent, but he insisted she did now – and she could suddenly paint the most beautiful healing artworks, which gave her an income as well as a purpose.
Meeting fellow pilgrims is definitely a huge part of the experience, and a wonderful sense of camaraderie develops with the other people who are there hoping to be healed. Visitors swap stories, share experiences, and lend support as each person goes through their individual process. The healings here are not always what you would expect. Some are far more subtle, or address a different issue, but just being in the energy of this place, in this land, with these people, is an experience I will always treasure.
Sacred Sites books now on Kindle and iPad!
In the continuing series of "Things a Writer Must Do That Don't Involve Writing"… I have just transformed my Sacred Sites book series into eBooks. Sacred Sites: Glastonbury, Sacred Sites: Hawaii, Sacred Sites: Peru, Sacred Sites: The Camino, Sacred Sites: Uluru, Sacred Sites: Egypt and Sacred Sites: Stonehenge are now available from Amazon for Kindles, iPad, iPhones and most computers. The old-fashioned paperback version of these books are available individually or as a set from my website.
I don't have an iPad, a Kindle or an iPhone (and even my computer is incompatible with Kindle for Mac), so this has been an interesting learning curve for me. I am intrigued that so many people believe they are the way of the future, and the few people I do know with Kindles love them, so… Who knows, perhaps I will love this adventure into a new format and frontier.
Lucy and I are contemplating transforming Faery Magic and Mermaid Magic into eBooks, so feel free to leave a comment if you think this is a good (or bad) idea… And in the meantime I will see how the Sacred Sites books go, and continue exploring and learning…This new blog format is another result of my eBook research – so I can link my blog, which has existed on my own website for a few years now, to my Amazon and Kindle author page. Ah, technology… I do love you, even if occasionally I curse you 🙂

By kind arrangement with American Zoetrope and Paul Schrader, this is a precious opportunity to see the director's restored masterpiece about the life and work of one of Japan's most celebrated authors on 35mm film.
A singular piece, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters astonished audiences in 1985 with its audacious blend of multi-disciplinary Japanese form and masterful filmmaking technique.
Never released in Japan, Mishima remains among the most challenging and rewarding works from any filmmaker of the New Hollywood era and is widely considered one of the very best American movies of the 1980s.
The Celluloid Sorceress is honoured to present this three-night stand of Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters from Mr Schrader's personal 35mm print, on loan from UCLA Film & TV Archive. The 2006 restoration is not available for purchase, so these screenings are the only chance to see this version in the UK.
After the screening host Nikki Williams will chair a discussion on the film in which the audience are invited to participate.
Doors open at 18.30. From 18.45 to 19.15 Nikki Williams will give readings from Schrader on Schrader in our bookshop. The screening will begin at 19.30.
Refreshments will be available in our licensed cafe/bar.
Spring Season 2017 ticketing applies.
Advance tickets may be purchased from Billetto (see below), or direct from the Museum by calling 020 7840 2200 in office hours.

|Portrayed by:

Spider-Man 2
Spider-Man 3
Harold "Harry" Osborn (of Earth-96283) is a main character appearing in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man film-series. He is portrayed by James Franco.
Harry and Peter were established to have been long-time friends, but once Peter meets Norman, Harry's father, their relationship becomes strained. After graduation, he and Peter quickly move into their own apartment in Manhattan, and they are seen living together for the rest of the film. Harry also starts a relationship with Mary Jane Watson, who is the object of both his and Peter's affections. Their relationship eventually ends upon Harry discovering that Mary Jane is truly in love with Peter. Just as he and his father come to an understanding, Norman passes away, and Harry quickly assumes that Spider-Man is the killer. He then vows revenge upon the web-slinger, stating "I swear on my father's grave Spider-Man will pay."
Spider-Man 2Edit
When Harry funded Dr. Otto Octavius' fusion experiment, he provided him with the necessary materials, including tridium, which is one of the most powerful substances on planet Earth. After Octavius' appalling transformation into the frightening villain "Doc Ock", he sought out Harry one night at his manor. Ock made a deal with him in order to get more tridium. What Harry wanted in return: Spider-Man, alive. Octavius obliged, capturing Spider-Man and bringing him back to Harry. Osborn unmasked him to see who was really behind the mask, revealing Spider-Man's true identity of Peter Parker. Harry's only true friend was now his greatest enemy.
After having a hallucination involving his father mentoring him about killing Spider-Man, he discovers his father's old lab, full of all of Green Goblin's war gear: masks, armor, weapons, everything he needed for revenge against Spider-Man. He undergoes the same transformation his father once did, enhancing every good and bad trait he ever had.
Spider-Man 3Edit
He then became the New Goblin, and sought after Peter at a performance of Mary Jane Watson's play. He attacks him with an array of high-tech weapons, but ultimately, Peter won the battle. After a high speed chase down a narrow alley, Harry falls and hits his head. Initially, Peter believes him dead, but he rushes him to the hospital, and he is saved. He does, however, suffer from serious memory loss, especially short-term. He doesn't remember the accident, his new identity as New Goblin, or Spider-Man's true identity.
Mary Jane asks Harry if she can come over when her relationship with Peter goes wrong. They end up kissing, something both of them regret immediately afterwards. Mary Jane quickly leaves, and Harry becomes very distraught. He begins drinking again, then he suddenly remembers everything he had forgotten, including Spider-Man's identity. He continues his plan of revenge on Peter, and tells Mary Jane to break up with him, just to hurt him. Mary Jane obliges after Harry threatens to hurt her, which makes her extremely heartbroken. Peter seeks out Harry at his estate, and they fight each other. After a long, brutal battle, Harry is defeated by an enraged and possessed Peter, who leaves him battered and bloodied.
Peter returns to Harry's estate to ask for his help after Mary Jane is held hostage by Venom and the Sandman. Peter claims that this isn't about them, but for her. Harry refuses, stating that Peter doesn't deserve his help. Peter, as Spider-Man, then leaves, and seeks out Mary Jane himself. Bernard, Harry's butler, approaches Harry with the truth about what happened the night his father died. He tells him that his father's wound was from his glider, and that Norman Osborn died by his own hands.
Harry, now believing Peter when he said that he didn't kill his father, goes and helps Spider-Man defeat Venom and the Sandman as well as save Mary Jane. Spider-Man is tied by Venom and he is about to be impaled by Harry's glider, which is now under the control of Venom. Before the blade reaches him, however, Harry jumps in front and is impaled. Spider-Man manages to defeat Venom on his own, but is unable to save Harry. With both Peter and Mary Jane by his side, Harry died, much to the dismay of his old friends.

A picture tells a thousand words
A silver princess eucalypt :)
I think the rains brought my energy back as well. This morning I have made two batches of yoghourt using a fresh biodynamic culture rather than my usual 'powdered milk and sachet' style. I heard somewhere recently that powdered milk is really bad for your health as the processing treatments not only rip all nutritional value from the milk but also change the fats and how they react within your body. Until I can either confirm or deny this I am going back to the old fashioned methods.
Sitting on my stove top is also 4 litres of fromage blanc thickening up for the next 12 hours. If all goes to plan I will then strain it gently for six hours and have a beautiful cream cheese :)

Lurvly! And yes, I also read that the process of powdering the milk oxidises the milk fats and makes them really bad for you. And, it's in thousands of processed foods, not to mention just about all regular *fresh* milk where it is used to guarantee a consistent fat content year-round… Nice, huh?

Love your website. I live in South Africa and we have just been told that they are upping our electricity bills. SO we will have more electrical cuts and we are in the middle of winter. Brrrr. Freezing right now because of the snow on the mountains and all the wind. I love gardening but don't make the time to get our anymore. I sit in front of my PC mainly doing metaphysical research. Mainly a kitchen witch myself and love to give advice and help on a forum that I belong to.
Talk to you again. Bye

Saving energy costs by a simple design change
Think of the last time when you operated a 2-handle faucet. Which handle did you turn first? Was it the left handle or the one on the right? Chances are that if you are right-handed, you turned the left tap first and if you are left-handed you turned the one on the right first. If this was any different, please let me know; I'd be curious to know.
Based on quick internet-based research, it seems that the installation instructions for most 2-handle faucet systems indicate that hot water be connected to the left handle and cold water be connected with the right one.
Given that almost 80% of population is right-handed, what that means is 80% of the times when a faucet is operated, the left handle is operated first, which delivers hot water. Now, I do not have data on whether people prefer hot water when they first operate the faucet but I'd guess that there is a significant combined percentage of people who either prefer cold water or who don't care versus the ones who prefer hot water at the first go.
Given above, to reduce energy costs one may want to interchange the hot and cold water connections at the time of installation i.e., connecting hot water to the right handle and cold to the left handle. This of course can be interchanged if the premise has predominantly left-handed folks. Better yet, with a simple design change, this configuration choice can be made dynamically by having a knob that controls the flow of the water to either handle.
The savings achieved at a single premise due to this change depends on several factors - frequency of opening tap, percentage of left-handed/right-handed people using a particular tap etc and may not be significant however economies of scale can be achieved if the modified faucet was used by a large population.

great observation! i use my left hand to turn the left faucet. However I always look for hot water first.. since it takes a while before the hot water stars flowing.

This brings up the question why
the cold water faucet is on the right in the first place.
My guess is, most of the time people need cold water and most people are right-handed, so the cold water faucet was designed to
be on the right.

As with the QWERTY keyboard there are LOTS of paradigms that will be hard to change. To simply switch the connections, the cost of change can out weigh the cost of beneifit for a long time (e.g. many folks will run the now cold water for a long time waiting for hot, or mistake sinks that are not converted, or there will have to be piping modifications, etc.) beyond the operational and safety factors.
A similar but different solution is to change to a single handle faucit. Now folks get what they want and there is no confusion between old-style and new-style.

Thanks folks for leaving comments; sorry I didn't reply any sooner as I didn't have comment notifications turned on.
Mgill, to your comment, in my experience I have found it the other way round... i.e., right handed people use left-hand instead of right-hand to open faucet... my guess is right-hand may already being occupied to lets say hold the toothbrush, or pick up the soap etc.
Matt, I agree about your comment on "conditioning". Moreover, visitors to US face this issue anyways. This issue can be solved by placing some sort of aesthetically pleasing signage on the faucet which indicates which one will deliver hot versus cold water. BTW, the same issue still applies for single-handle faucet... there is no way to really know which way to turn to get hot versus cold water unless already marked on the faucet.

Some of us cautious and conscientious planners, organizers,
Even getting close to "the wire" makes us sweaty and nauseous and wobbly.
We are incompatible with proximity to "the wire.
It is not our "happy place".
But like it or not......not by my choice, not because of anything I did or didn't, could or couldn't do..... there I stood on Thursday morning with my feet dangling over "the wire".
And it was NO FUN.
I was calm, even smiling when I got the email to say there were no keys to the brand new child care centre I had to take possession of on Thursday......not only because it was
To find out a few minutes later that my "squatter rights strategy" was in jeopardy because not only were there no keys, there was also no occupancy permit..... felt like someone pushed me over the line without parachute.
There was a space in time here - where things were a bit ........ messy....tense....
The long and the short of it was we got a provisional permit.
We still don't have keys. Officially.
But as I spoke with new staff and new families who made it to the Open House as scheduled .... some tearful with joy at the beautiful space and the opportunity to be part of it.....I had to shake my head to believe that this day.....this day.....actually came.
7 years after applying for the money to do it.......5 years after walking away and then finding a new location at the 12th hour.......2 years since a fire burned the development down.......a day so long thought of, imagined, dreamed about...... that seemed so elusive for so long..... was here.
It felt good...... it felt great......
There is still SO SO SO much to do (like get official keys and a lease). I wish my budget was big enough not to be stressed. I wish we had an extra four weeks. I wish there were more than 2 of us to do all the work.
But IIWII ....... It is what it is......... our current motto......
We are in..... the wire be damned.......there ain't nothing stopping us now..... not several hours of assembling IKEA furniture......not unpacking endless boxes, not carrying furniture around, not figuring out the thermostat, not finding great deals on toasters and carpets and curtains.

Citrix Profile management provides a robust profile optimization that enables IT administrators to easily maintain personal data and configurations across different platforms. Profile management released two featured packages recently to further help simplify administrative tasks and overall stability of profile handling.
Citrix Profile management 5.5
Personal information management is becoming more and more important for enterprise today. A centralized solution improves administration efficiency. However, a common challenge still exists is how to prevent profile corruption. Profile corruption usually has the nature of happening randomly and always leads to help desk calls.
In Profile management 5.5, a new mechanism is introduced to monitor user settings and automatically recover when a problem is detected. We call it profile protection. You can configure it in HDX policy: Profile Management >> Registry >> NTUSER.DAT backup
Based on our analysis, profile corruption is normally caused by damage to NTUSER.dat file. Profile management 5.5 maintains two versions of the NTUSER.DAT file in the user store: one is written after a successful log off and the other one is a most recent version that has been proven not to be damaged. Once a corruption has been detected, Profile management automatically reloads the good file and the end user is allowed to continue logon without any disturbance.
One other important feature of Profile management 5.5 is to simplify configuration. This feature minimizes the time an IT administrator needs on configuring the profile exclusion and inclusion lists. Profile management extracts common settings from customers' feedback and preloads them into a default list. The IT administrator can now use the recommended list directly with only a few checks on the HDX policy management console or group policy management console.
Citrix Profile management 5.6
One step further, Profile management 5.6 is released with XenApp and XenDesktop 7.12.
If you have previous experience with Citrix Profile management, you should understand the concept of active write back. This is another important feature that helps ensure personalization being saved to central store in time. So even when an unexpected error happens during an active session, settings and data can still be retained from the central store afterwards. This feature existed since very earlier in the form of file support and now Profile management 5.6 extends this feature to registry support. This grants Profile management complete capability to save all the user configurations in time.
Profile management 5.6 also utilizes the Citrix Customer Experience Program to help Citrix better understand how Profile management is used. The usage data across all customers will be analyzed and reflected in our new product roadmap and releases.
Aside from product features, Profile management also integrates quality enhancements for existing functions in each release. You can review a full list of fixed issues from product documentation.
2017 is coming; please expect more on Profile management, we will continue provide great features!

I really hope so too! Are the books better than the movies, like they say it is?

Karina, the books are better, more character and relationship development. But we really disliked the fourth book.

Thanks for the tip Angie! I would be sure to read the books when I have the time to do so. May I ask why the fourth book wasn't as well as the first three?

It felt rushed and gruesome and strange, and there were certain outcomes we really didn't want. I don't want to spoil anything, though! :)

Oh I see. I hate when good stories are rushed, so I see what you mean. Hopefully the movie will be different and better than the fourth book. Thanks for the info and for not spoiling anything! I don't even know what's better, to know what to expect from the movie or not knowing what to expect haha. I wonder when the next movie will be released..
