Planting People Growing Justice Leadership Institute (PPGJLI) honored Bishop Dr. Dorothy Blaylark-Hill with the 2017 Excellence in Education award. Ceremonies were conducted on July 15, 2017 which was declared Planting People Growing Justice Day by the City of Saint Paul.
Leaders plant seeds of social change by inspiring and uplifting others and Bishop Hill reaches this goal through her ministry and community outreach.
Blaylark-Hill is a model of PPGJLI goals, training and equipping the next generation of leaders to build strong families and communities. The faith and education leader is a force for change and the founder of Victory Christian Center (VCC) that utilizes the Word of God to minister to the whole man and build a solid spiritual foundation for each individual.
Bishop Blaylark-Hill's Leadership Journey
Called to the ministry at a young age, Blaylark-Hill has traveled around the world sharing the gospel and establishing churches throughout the U.S. and Africa (Nigeria & Liberia). The churches act as a focal point for educating, uplifting and empowering others to discover the leader that resides inside and has touched the lives of millions of people as a result.
During her many years of service, Blaylark-Hill has developed programs for nursing homes, prison outreach, youth education and radio ministries that continue to flourish. She challenges and empowers everyone she meets to become a world changer.
Planting People Growing Justice encourages, nurtures and empowers youth leadership on a global scale, especially for girls and women, through an extensive array of projects and initiatives featuring education, training and engagement. PPGJ has been named an American Small Business Champion by SCORE Mentors.
PPGJLI will release a children's book in the autumn of 2017, "Justice Makes a Difference: The Story of Miss Freedom Fighter, Esquire," that will be distributed worldwide and showcase the power of female leaders who have impacted society ranging from congresswomen, journalists and civil rights activists to political activists and Nobel laureates.
The honoring of Bishop Dr. Dorothy Blaylark-Hill by the PPGJLI is just one of the ways that our organization is recognizing women of distinction who are empowering youths and adults, are making a positive difference, and transforming the world at large. The group is inspiring girls and women to be forces for change in their own right at local and international levels.

A two or five day 3 star sea course, when available can either be run as a pure training course which on completion will lead to a personalised action plan, or if you have the previous experience and skills the course can be run as an on going training and assessment. If however, you meet all the requirements then a 3 star sea assessment can also be run over one day.
To get a feel of a training course, then have alook at a brief account of a 3 day course for a college on my Blog, here.

mLight Kleo is now Cyanosis Approved!
Cyanosis is a bluish discolouration of the skin due to poor circulation or inadequate oxygenation of the blood. The discolouration can occur on skin, lips, fingers, toes and mucous membranes.
Central Cyanosis is caused by diseases of the heart or lungs and occurs around the core, lips and tongue.
Peripheral Cyanosis occurs only at the extremities or fingers.
Initial diagnosis occurs from clinical observation. Although pulse oximeters are available to detect oxygen levels in blood, they are not used universally in operating rooms and recovery areas. Therefore, the ability of medical staff to reliably detect the onset of cyanosis becomes critical to the wellbeing of patients.
Appropriate lighting in hospital areas allows for accurate detection of Cyanosis in patients. It has been found that the most suitable light source should:
• Have appropriate intensity in the red part of the visible spectrum, where the spectral difference in oxygen levels in blood occurs. When the power is too low, a patient's skin may appear darker and he or she may be falsely diagnosed to be cyanosed. When the power is too high, cyanosis may be masked and not diagnosed when it is present.
• Be within the range of 3200K and 5500K in CCT, higher will result in false diagnosis, and lower will result in failure to detect.
• Have a cyanosis observation index (COI) of not greater than 3.3, the lower, the better suited is the light source for visual detection of Cyanosis.

LONDON — The Adult Provider Network, in association with sponsors Intelligent ID, Callcredit and W2 Global Data, has planned to present a U.K. networking event next month to connect adult webmasters, video-on-demand operators and broadcasters with identity, age-verification and payment solution providers.
"With the Conservatives having made a manifesto pledge to make age-verification mandatory for all adult websites irrespective of jurisdiction, and now looking set to make good on that promise with little opposition, there is a pressing need for adult businesses, whether on or offshore, to consider the implications, involve themselves in the policy debate and more importantly identify compliant solutions," APN said.
Chris Ratcliff, an organizer of the APN event and managing director of Portland Broadcasting Ltd. and RHF Productions Ltd., said the format will include a speed pitching session.
"Each solution provider will get exactly 69 seconds to explain how their product or service differs from the next guy," he said. "This will be followed by informal networking drinks provided by our sponsors."
So far, solution providers set to attend and give pitches include Aristotle, Callcredit, Experian, GB Group, Hello Soda, Intelligent ID, Oxygen8, Sedicii, Veridu, VeriMe, W2 Global Data, Xcreds and Yoti.
Ratcliff is currently seeking other solution providers to attend as well. For more information, contact him here.
The event, scheduled for Thursday, July 2, between 3-6 p.m., will be held at the Lights of Soho, London's newest gallery and members club that includes a neon homage to the decadence of Soho's yesteryear in a former Brewer Street brothel. Lights of Soho is located at 35 Brewer St., London W1F 0RX.

Jason Standridge to get first start after All-Star break
by Gen on Jul.25, 2010 @ 7:32 pm, under NPB
Jason Standridge will likely get the Tigers' first start after the All-Star break (27th vs Yokohama Bay Stars at Koshien Stadium). On Saturday, Standridge took part in full squad practice and held a bullpen session.
In other team related news...
...Minoru Iwata (left elbow) could begin throwing in the bullpen some time in early August, making a return to the active roster before the end of the season a distinct possibility. Iwata started playing catch again in June and has slowly been increasing the distance of those sessions over time. If his arm is feeling fine after playing catch on the 26th, 28th, and 30th, the next step will be to hold a light bullpen session sometime during the first half of August.
The Tigers should also have a better idea of Atsushi Nomi's schedule moving forward once he gets his right foot reexamined on the 29th. If everything checks out ok, Nomi could begin running sprints and throwing bullpen sessions soon.
...Tomoaki Kanemoto went all out during practice (which also involved lots of running in hot weather) yesterday in preparation for the start of the second half.

|DAK Lands
|Animal Kingdom Attractions
|Pandora - The World of AVATAR
|Rafiki's Planet Watch
|DinoLand USA
|Rivers of Light
|Discovery Island
The record-breaking, box-office hit film Avatar has come to life soon inside Disney's Animal Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort. Pandora - The World of Avatar is a creative collaboration of Walt Disney Imagineering, James Cameron, and Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment.
This new land welcomes guests to the lush world of Pandora long after the human conflict with the Na'vi has ended. The vivid daytime beauty of the land transforms to glow by night when bioluminescent flora and intricate nighttime experiences add a dreamlike quality to Pandora.
"We are taking our guests on a journey to this world in an experience that's as realistic and immersive as possible," says Joe Rohde, Walt Disney Imagineering portfolio creative executive. "In the movie, the world of Pandora is a setting for the action and characters whose story we follow. Here, guests are the primary characters immersed in an extremely vivid, authentic experience."
There are currently four sequels to the film being planned, so Pandora will only have more opportunities to grow as more characters and stories are developed.
Can you imagine straddling the back of a wing-flapping banshee, darting and swirling through the canyon updrafts, free as the wind? Avatar Flight of Passage will transport you on a sweeping, simulated flight over Pandora's colorful landscape. You'll soar around floating mountains, plunge through ancient caverns, and skim across roaring oceans, leading to a realistic encounter with the fiercest king of the air, the Great Leonopteryx that boasts a 45-foot wingspan.
Stop by the test seat outside to make sure you can comfortably ride the attraction before getting in line.
Your journey will begin in the queue as you start on an uphill trek around a massive root structure, over a bridge above waterfalls to an authentic totem garden. Meandering passageways lead to a cave-like structures where the great–winged banshees, or Ikran as the Na'vis call them, are celebrated in paintings and majestic totems. Next, you'll enter an old, once abandoned Resources Development Administration (RDA) facility with a laboratory partially restored. Here, there are scientific experiments in progress with references to habitat restoration, the ecosystem, water purification, and the connection of all living things.
Your next stop is the genetic matching room where you'll be scanned and genetic material is sampled to connect you to personal avatars in preparation for the flight experience. Once matched, you'll board link chairs, don flight visors, and prepare for the flight!
Flying on the back of a banshee represents an important rite of passage for the Na'vi and as visitors to the alien world, you will have the chance to be tested and guided through the wondrous journey. After entering a state-of-the-art theater, each guest will straddle a single-seat simulator (like a motorcycle) that will deliver a realistic sensation of riding a living creature. You will experience the swift and graceful movements of flight and even feel the banshee breathing beneath you!
Guests must be 44-inches (112 centimeters) or taller to ride.
Get ready to set sail on a river journey unlike any other; on a moon that is light years from Earth. Aboard the reed boats of the family-friendly Na'vi River Journey, you'll float through an alien world beyond your wildest imagination.
The story will begin as you approach the iconic floating mountains and waterfalls on Pandora where a towering totem beckons. Paying homage to the mystical Shaman of Songs, the massive totem was delicately woven by the Na'vi, the indigenous people of Pandora, and celebrates the shaman's deep connection to the life force of Pandora. The totem also invites guests to venture further into grottos that lead to the mystical river – and an eventual encounter with the shaman.
At the water's edge, you'll board those reed boats that each seat eight guests. A Na'vi warrior appears almost immediately and with a nod, he grants passage to the human voyagers then a spectacular bioluminescent rainforest will surround you. By day or night, boats pass through this darkened world, pushing deep into a jungle alive with exotic glowing plants and traversed by Pandoran creatures. Keen observers will notice that the animals and Na'vi are moving in the same direction as they make their way to see the shaman. Music is heard, which means the shaman is not far off.
"Na'vi River Journey is a very sweet, lyrical adventure through a spectacular visual environment that just becomes more and more spectacular as you go on," explains Joe Rohde, Walt Disney Imagineering portfolio creative executive. The bioluminescent activity of the plants around you unfolds in richer and richer scenes in really just a very uplifting, wonderful kind of journey."
The journey builds to an encounter with the remarkable Shaman of Songs. Like most Na'vi, she is nearly 10 feet tall.
Music is central in Na'vi culture. Guests observe the shaman in the midst of a musical ceremony, playing an instrument and singing. Through her music, the shaman sends positive energy into the rainforest, telling of the sacred bond with nature that Na'vi and humans share.
The Satu'li Canteen (pronounced "Sa-too-lee") is a quick service location that offers a surprising twist on familiar flavors for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The menu was inspired by the healthful bounty on Pandora, with wholesome grains, fresh vegetables and hearty proteins. The restaurant is themed as the Alpha Centauri Expeditions canteen. Travelers come to Satu'li Canteen to find the familiar foods and luxuries of their home. Menu items include items such as a chopped wood-grilled chicken bowl, chili-spiced crispy fried tofu bowl, cheeseburger steamed pod, and much more.
The restaurant's design was inspired by bases set up on Pandora by the RDA in the blockbuster "AVATAR" film. Once the main mess hall of the RDA base in the Valley of Mo'ara, the canteen is now owned and operated by the Alpha Centauri Expeditions (ACE) tour company and has been redesigned into a beautiful museum-like dining room open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The interior has been transformed with colorful Na'vi items filling the walls and hanging from the ceiling – hand-woven tapestries, natural Pandoran elements and cooking tools decorate the interior.
Take a look as Craig and Ryno from the DIS Unplugged team along with a special guest try out the new Mobile Order at Satu'li Canteen!
Pongu Pongu is Pandora's specialty beverage kiosk. "Pongu Pongu" means "party party" and this kiosk, as the story goes, was built by a human who befriended the local Na'vi clan and built a place to gather and socialize. The name came from all the "wild and memorable times" Na'vi and humans had together there.
The kiosk offers "bioluminescent" frozen cocktails such as their signature drink; Frozen Nectar (frozen limeade with layered flavors of Granny Smith Apple and Desert Pear topped with bursting mango boba balls) that glows with bioluminescent colors reminiscent of Pandora's flora. There's also a Screaming Banshee Margarita and Avatar Private Label Ale. For sweet snacking, Lumpia (loom-pee-ah), a pineapple-cream cheese spring roll, is also on the menu.

Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan – Is It Really Worth Going?
The infamous Full Moon Party attracts thousands of party animals to the picturesqe island Koh Phangan. It is an enormous event in which around 30,000 people participate every month. The big rave that's held in the south of Koh Phangan, at the beach called Haad Rin, has gained many fans, but also lots of opponents. Before I went there I encountered split opinions. Some say that it's nothing special, some think of it as a crazy drunk touristic party, others claim it's one of their best experiences. I think it all depends on expectations and one's character. There is no straight answer if the Full Moon Party is worth going or not and it's best to form your own opinion. However, if you are debating if it's for you or not, I think this article will help you dissipate doubts.
It is a touristy party that has little to do with authentic Thailand
If you're looking for authentic Thai experiences you definitely won't find them at the Full Moon Party. The event is dedicated to tourists and backpackers and those are the people who will most likely party with you there. It's an enormous drunken revelry, created by and for forigners. It has nothing to do with Thai culture or tradition. On the full moon night the beach is filled with bucket-drinking tourists getting wasted past dawn. The origins of the party though do not resemble today's Full Moon Party. Back in the 1980s, a couple of hippies would gather together to celebrate the full moon night on Haad Rin beach, strumming guitars and smoking weed. The times has changed and now Full Moon Party is one of the wildest rave you can go to.
What to expect at the Full Moon Party
The party starts every full moon evening at dusk and carries on until the dawn the next day. A couple of beach-faced clubs that play distinct kinds of music are straggled along the sandy beach and will satisfy different music tastes. At every corner you can buy buckets with booze and also typical western junk food. Everything is sold by local Thais who live on the island. Party goers drink lots of alcohol and also take drugs, so be ripe for dealing with them. The Haad Rin beach is extremely crowded during the very one night. However, you can also find a place to chill out and take a breath. On top of that, there are plenty of different attractions including fire jump ropes, slides, jungglers and fire-eaters who entertain public.
Prepare yourself for the Full Moon Party
If you make up your mind about the Full Moon Party and decide to participate you should prepare yourself for this mad event. Here are a few tips and recommendations.
1. Book your place in advance or come a couple days earlier.
If you come to Koh Phangan on the day of Full Moon Party without having a room booked you take a risk of overpaying for acommodation. Remember that the island hosts up to 30,000 tourists on that night so many places are full even a week before the event. Not only will you pay much more for a night, but also you will waste a lot of time while wandering around the island and looking for a place.
We were lucky as someone canceled the reservation in the resort where our friends stayed right after we arrived. However, we paid almost a double price for a twin room. Our solution to save money though was to pack more people into the room. So instead of two, there were 6 people and instead of 1,000 baht per person, we paid 330.
2. Don't bring any valuable things to the beach
You might lose them or someone can steal them from you. It's better not to have anything valuable on you during the party.
3. Bring comfy shoes, but not brand-new pair
Flip-flops might seem the best fit for a beach party, but most likely you will lose them, so it's better to take covered shoes. There are many pieces of broken glass, so don't take a risk of getting hurt. On top of that, be prepared that shoes will be destroyed after that night, so don't take your brand-new $100 sneakers.
4. Take enough cash for drinks and taxi back home
The cover charge is 100 baht. Buckets are usually 150-200 baht. Night taxi to your hostel is 100 baht (fixed price). Take enough money to cover everything you need there, but don't bring to much, as someone can steal it from you or you can simply lose it.
5. The less things you bring the better
Leave all your belongings at a hotel you stay in and lock valuables in a safe locker.
6. Stay a couple of days longer at the island
Koh Phangan is a beautiful island with many places to explore. You can go hiking, trekking in the jungle, swim by the waterfalls or simply relax on a beach enjoying stunning views. Coming to the island only for one day might be exhausting, especially if you travel from Bangkok.
Getting there
There are multiple ways to get to Koh Phangan for the Full Moon Party. You can fly to Surat Thani or Koh Samui Airport and then take a ferry to Koh Phangan. Airlines offer combined tickets that include ferry as well. Another option is to buy a combined ticket for a bus or train with a ferry to the island (you can do that at a travel agency, e.g. Khao San Road in Bkk)). One-way ticket from Bangkok will cost you up to 1,000 baht (for bus+ferry, train+ferry) and around 1,200 baht for plane+ferry set (if you book in advance). Find more travel information on the official Full Moon Party website.
Go or not to go
I really don't need 30,000 people around to have fun. However, I wanted to experience the Full Moon Party, as it's a one-of-a-kind event and see how other people's opinions are like the reality. In my opinion, I had expected something more insane than I found at the Full Moon Party. I had fun and I could repeat it, but as it is a bit pricey experience if you go there just for a couple of days from the capital I don't think I will this year. There are many more attractions awaiting in Southeast Asia that I should not skip.
If you are not a party animal in general I don't think this event will be the best fit for you. On the other hand, if you like to party, you can give the Full Moon Party a try and form your own opinion. On top of that, remember it doesn't matter where, but with who you have fun with. And I can assure you that even if you don't bring your friends you can make them on the Haad Rin beach on the full moon night.
If you've been to the Full Moon Party, share your opinions in comments!

Case Studies
CASE STUDY - CCB (China Construction Bank)
The HIT-NETZON library systems are used in the accounting audit system. The project of optical disk archive systems for accounting audit in the CCB headquarter was conducted by open international competitive bidding in June, 2006. Many world-renowned optical library manufacturers were invited to this bid. After fierce competition and strict technical assessment, NETZON GMS3560 jukebox from HIT and PoINT Jukebox Manger software won the bid exclusively and provided all the hardware and software for 38 provincial CCB branch offices countrywide.
HIT-NETZON optical disk library systems and management software are used in the accounting audit system. Large volumes of data are generated from scanned bills and materials. The image information is ultimately stored on optical disks and can be searched at any time through an ECM platform. This project raised the company archival storage to a much higher level, so that efficient and fast response is provided. The accomplishment of this project undoubtedly raised the company's competence of data security and compliance.
Ever since the end of 2006 when HIT-NETZON libraries were gradually used in CCB branch offices, the overall operation status has been excellent. At present, these jukeboxes are filled in many branches, especially big branches. So far the overall storage capability is over 2000TB and it is the biggest project in this field worldwide. This system is playing a very important role in recurring audit processes.
To further enhance the functionality of the libraries and to further improve the long term accuracy of magazine access, firmware upgrades on libraries in CCB branch offices are done gradually. Magazine adaptive functions were added, which means the library robotic can automatically learn and adjust the robotic settings without human interference.
NETZON GMS 2105 and PoINT JBM software won the second open bidding of CCB headquarter construction project exclusively again in July, 2008.

1978 - 1984
After I graduated from Northwestern University, I remained in Chicago for the next two years. I made an attempt to start a theatre company that ended in a bitter squabble. I returned to New York in 1978 and decided to create a career for myself as a solo performer. It was a lot less complicated than dealing with the egos and demands of an ensemble. I took the notes I had written for a play and turned them into a solo piece that I called "Hollywood Confidential". It was a pastiche of story elements and moments from Hollywood movies about movies such as "Sunset Boulevard", "A Star Is Born" and "The Legend of Lylah Clare" as well as real life Hollywood scandals. I played a young reporter who investigates the mysterious life and death of screen legend, Lola Lame. Along the way he meets her ex-husbands, a gossip columnist and other flotsam. It wasn't the most original of source material but I was young and energetic. I was introduced to a talented director named Patrick Brafford who helped me shape the three hours of material into a forty five minute act. We took performance techniques of Readers' Theatre, that I'd studied at Northwestern and then came up with our own methods that allowed me to instantly switch from one character to the next and do dialogue back and forth between multiple characters. Among my influences was the extraordinary solo work of writer/actor Jeff Weiss.
I first performed "Hollywood Confidential" at a very small cabaret in the village called "Scene One". It wasn't the most discriminating of talent showcases. I think they'd book pretty much anyone who convinced them that they had enough friends to fill the joint for a night. I was determined that the great Charles Ludlam would come see me perform. My college roommate, Ed Taussig and I had briefly met Ludlam when he was performing in Chicago. If he remembered us at all, it was as a pair of daffy co-eds. I don't really know what I wanted from him. I didn't particularly want to be in his troupe, the Ridiculous Theatrical Company. I guess, I just wanted him to think I was talented. He was, after all, my idol. I went on quite a campaign; plastering flyers all around his theatre and giving a stack of flyers to one of his actresses, Black-Eyed Susan, to bring inside the theatre. My scheme worked and indeed, one night, Ludlam and his lover, Everett Quinton, showed up! But then when it was over, they didn't come backstage. I wouldn't leave it alone. I read that Ludlam was receiving an award from something called the New York Comedy Awards. I dragged my sister, Meg, to the presentation, and we found ourselves sitting at the next table beside Charles. I introduced myself and thanked him for coming to my show. He was very complimentary and, well, I couldn't believe this next part, he offered to let me perform my act as a late show at his theatre!
I played "Hollywood Confidential" Friday and Saturday nights at midnight for the entire summer. It was the first time I was reviewed, not particularly well, and not in major publications but at least my name was in print. It was a start. Charles Ludlam continued to be very supportive and helpful to me till his death in 1987. I even had a chance to work with him very briefly when an actor playing a small role in his play "Bluebeard" dropped out at the last minute. I came on at the end of the play as Hecate, the Goddess of Hell and got to play a two minute scene with my idol. I'll never forget the image of his intense cobalt eyes peering at me through the colorful stage smoke.
In 1979, I put together another solo show, three pieces in different theatrical styles, that I called "Vagabond Vignettes". One was a short piece that I had cut from "Hollywood Confidential" which I called "That's Show Biz", one was a more traditional series of monologues titled "People on a New York Bus" that was very influenced by my listening to the recordings of the legendary queen on the monologue, Ruth Draper. The third was a very complex, and somewhat undecipherable piece called "La Marquesa". It was an impressionistic portrait of the notorious Marquesa Casati, a fabled muse to many great artists in the first half of the Twentieth Century. I performed most frequently at a club in the Village called The Duplex. It had a great reputation in the Sixties but by the late seventies, it had fallen into disrepute. Finally, two schoolteachers from Cincinnati, Erv Raible and Rob Hoskins, bought it and brought it back to life. They developed a stable of unique performers such as Ira Siff and Julie Kurnitz and I was flattered to be included among them. I played at the Duplex frequently throughout 1979 and 1980.
When I was hanging around the Ridiculous, I met a very talented young man named Peter Napolitano. He had a very clear idea of what my strengths as a performer/writer were and where there was room for improvement. He was an excellent editor of theatrical material. I suppose today we'd call him a dramaturge. In "Hollywood Confidential" and "Vagabond Vignettes", though I wore a rather androgynous neutral costume, I added all sorts of costume pieces, wigs and hats to differentiate the male and female characters. Peter felt that that those pieces were distracting and unnecessary. The magic of what I was attempting to do was to create characters so vivid that the audience could costume them in their imagination. Our first piece together was called "A Theatrical Party". I played all the guests and all the servants at a glamorous 1920's party in London thrown by a great fictional theatrical star, Anton Troy. He's searching for a leading lady to play opposite him in his Shakespearean repertory. Naturally, I played all the actresses vying for the job. There was also a mystery in the plot. A young man crashes the party claiming to be Troy's illegitimate son. Ultimately we learn that this young "Hamlet's" mother is Dame Beatrice, the aging has-been star and Troy's former love. I think this was probably my most successful solo piece and I performed it frequently during the next four years. My most prestigious booking for "A Theatrical Party" was at the Performing Garage in Soho. I was desperate for someone to run the lights and Charles Ludlam's lover (and ultimate successor) Everett Quinton, volunteered to run them for me. Many nights Charles would meet Everett at the theatre and it was such a thrill to hear his distinctive laugh in the back of the house. Like I said, they both were awfully nice to me. In "A Theatrical Party", I played all the characters, male and female. Charles suggested that in the future I only play female characters. At the time, I scoffed at the notion. But he was right. My male characterizations were often rather desultory. My imagination was really only fired up when I played the female roles. Eventually, when I led my own theatre company, I only played the female lead. Charles was really very insightful.
Peter and I did another short piece called "Welcome to Corona" that was a spoof of 1970's horror movies but set in Queens.
It was getting harder and harder to get my friends to come back time and again and pay the cover charge. My audience didn't seem to get any bigger. Well, for one thing, I had no money to advertise. I decided to change strategy and booked myself at small non-profit theatres around the country. They would produce the show, advertise it and pay me a flat fee. My first out of town gig was performing "Hollywood Confidential" at the Victory Gardens Theatre in Chicago. That was sort of a disaster. The critics haaaaated me. It was something fierce but I got my Equity card out of it. My first success was doing a full evening of my solo pieces called "Charles Busch Alone with a Cast of Thousands" at the Source Theatre in Washington, D.C.. I got raves in the Washington Post and numerous other publications. It was my first taste of success and made me feel I was on the right track. I returned to the Source Theatre for the next few years each time with a new repertoire.
My next director was a fellow named Ron Vigneau. He was an excellent acting coach and was very helpful in ridding me of a number of awkward physical mannerisms I had developed and getting me to slow down my too rapid delivery. We did a very interesting solo piece called "Welcome to Camp Kitchiwammee". It was about three misfit kids at a summer camp in North Carolina. In the woods, they stumble across an old woman who tells them a horrifying campfire story about a young girl years ago in those parts who hatchet murdered her family. I played the three kids and the old lady and in flashbacks, the girl and her family. At the end of the piece, it's implied that the old lady was the young murderess.
Ron and I also did a short piece called "Chili Pepper" which was the Rumplestiltskin story updated to the music industry. It was cute but showed me that contemporary satire wasn't really my forte. I think one reason my solo career didn't really take off was that I was constantly experimenting with different styles. This was my apprenticeship. Every piece I did was radically different from the next. I was learning so much about plot construction, characterization, economy and exposition. There were other problems as well. Mainly, that I had never had any management and was booking myself around the country and I was never the most organized of self-promoters.
A great coup for me at this time was getting myself booked in San Francisco. My friend, Debra Crane, was living out there, and she managed to get Theatre Rhinoceros to give me their space for free for one night. I flew out there and we invited members of the Golden Gate Gay Businessmen's Association and various theatre and club owners to see me perform. The one nibble I got was from a fellow named Donald Montwill who was managing a club called Valencia Rose. It was a Spanish mortuary near the Mission that they had renovated (well, really, only partially renovated, the embalming room was still there) and turned into a Gay and Lesbian arts center. I returned there in 1981 and had a great success. It really was thrilling. The San Francisco Gay community discovered me and made me feel like a part of the scene. I lived in a room above the club, feeling very Sally Bowles. Other young performers who played the Valencia Rose were Lea DeLaria, Marga Gomez and a talented young woman who hasn't gone very far named Whoopi Goldberg. Donald Montwill created a wonderfully fun atmosphere to work in. I played there for around six months, off and on during the next three years.
While in San Francisco, I was able to book engagements at Santa Cruz's Bear Republic Theatre and in Los Angeles at the CAST Theatre. The latter was a disaster. No one showed up and the second weekend, when I arrived at the theatre, I received quite an unwelcome surprise. I had been booked to do late shows on the set of the main show. At first, it was an empty stage, which worked perfectly for my minimalist presentation. However, this week, without warning me, they had put in a new eight o'clock show and it was a very naturalistic play set in a automobile body shop. There was a car suspended from the ceiling! There was no way I could get an audience to block that out and imagine I was in an elegant British drawing room. I apologized to the few people who were waiting in the lobby, packed up my bags and headed for home. My solo career was filled with incidents like that. There was the theatre that insisted that a volunteer, who was stuffing envelopes, could run my lights. She did fine until the performance when unbeknownst to us, someone had changed the computer board and lights were coming up all over the place. I was literally running back and forth across the stage trying to find the spotlight.
In 1982, I booked myself to return to Washington, D.C. with a new program of pieces. My current director, Ron Vigneau, was busy. I didn't know what to do. My only recourse was to ask my roommate, a struggling director named Ken Elliott, to help me out. This started a wonderful collaboration that continues to this day. Ken and I have worked together on so many shows. We can work very fast because we know each other so well that very little discussion is needed.
We did a very ambitious solo piece called "After You've Gone". It was a contemporary film noir, about a young man wrongly suspected of murdering his wealthy father. (My repertoire tended towards the comic-grotesque.) The young man embarks on an odyssey searching for his father's killer. Along the way he meets an black drug-addicted Jazz singer named Ardella Williams, an ex-Hollywood starlet named Anita Harlow, an elderly Italian Prince, the Proprietress of a Carnival fun-house, a young hustler named Chicken Joey and a host of other strange characters. It was my most elaborate piece. The climax of the play had many of the characters returning and being involved in a fatal shoot-out.
Another solo piece from this period was a short one I called simply "The Dream". It was based on an actual dream of mine, a rather classic actor's nightmare, where I was forced to go onstage doing Lena Horne's one woman show. It was an attempt at doing something less narrative-driven and more surrealistic. Some critics thought I was trying to move into Robin Williams' frenetic style. That wasn't my intention but I will admit, "The Dream" wasn't one of my finer efforts.
As I've said, Ruth Draper's recordings were a major influence on me as a solo performer. After concentrating on complex narratives involving flashy transitions between multiple characters, my next two pieces were very much in the Draper tradition of playing one character who speaks to a variety of unseen people. The first, the most successful, was called "Apres Moi, Le Deluge". It was a portrait of a Mid-western gay High School drama teacher named Erwin Lang. He's been replaced as head of the Drama Club and boy, is he bitter. The piece takes place at the opening night of his successor's first production and during intermission, Mr. Lang holds court to former students, colleagues and his aged mother. Ken Elliott was such a great help in developing the piece, improvising chunks of dialogue based on his own Indianapolis background, that I thought it only right to share the writing credit. We were both very proud of this piece. It got a wonderful response wherever I performed it. For years, I thought about writing a full-length play around this noble yet faintly ridiculous character. That is, until I saw the film "Waiting For Guffman". Christopher Guest did such a brilliant job with a similar character, that I would never have the nerve to go near that subject. It's too bad. I would've loved to have a crack at that.
The other Draperesque solo piece from 1984 was called Reed. It was a very dark monologue about an aging hustler from New York who, desperately trying to change his life, answers an ad to become a mail order lover to a farmer in Montana. It was an attempt for me to play a character close to my own physicality. It was effective but a little heavy handed, I suspect.
In 1983, I played one of my rare New York engagements. Journalists Terry Helbing and Terry Miller had begun a Gay and Lesbian Theatre in Chelsea called "The Meridian Gay Theatre." It didn't last long but they produced my solo show, which ran for a few weeks. It was nearly impossible to get any critic to review the show and thus nearly impossible to attract any kind of audience. However, I established a few very important professional and personal relationships out of this showcase. It marked the first time I worked with costume designer, John Glaser, who went on to design the clothes in "Vampire Lesbians of Sodom" and "Psycho Beach Party". Most importantly, the stage manager assigned to the show was Kathie Carr. Kathie and I became great friends and over the years, she stage managed all of our Theatre-in-Limbo shows through "Psycho Beach Party", and also has styled my wigs throughout my career. And now she's the creator and webmistress to this website! The girl is very versatile. I love her very much. (I'd say that even if she wasn't typing this.)
My last solo piece was another very ambitious multi-character play called "Phantom Lovers". It was sort of an Irish Gothic-romance. It had elements of Dickens and Bronte. It was another tale of a young man searching for the truth of his past. In this case, a young man in Nineteenth Century Ireland, finds an elderly female novelist (sort of a literary Aunt Betsy Trotwood) living in the country, who tells him the tale of his parents ill fated love story. The most interesting character was a mysterious Countess who lived in a castle on the hill. At the conclusion of the tragic story, the Countess dramatically reveals that a witch's curse caused her hands to turn into eagle's claws. It was ambiguous whether that was literal or psychological. "Phantom Lovers" meant a lot to me because it was directed by my Northwestern acting teacher, David Downs. Although I was sort of a bust when I was actually in his class, (I was going through a very bad time in college, terrible stage fright. Oh, Honey, I was mess.) Anyway David later became something of a mentor to me. I had long fantasized that one day he'd direct me and then tell me that I was truly a talented actor. I convinced him to work with me on the play and flew out to Chicago for a month of rehearsals. We had a wonderful time and when we felt ready, we presented the piece to a number of students and faculty members. First, a little back story. If Northwestern has a great reputation as a theatre school, it's because of the work of a famous teacher, a woman named Alvina Kraus. She made the school's reputation in the fifties and sixties and inspired Patricia Neal and several generations of marvelous actors. My teacher, David Downs, was one of her last students and he absolutely worshipped her. Well, after our presentation, one of his colleagues said, I believe rather sarcastically, "That was certainly a David Downs performance." And I heard David reply "No, it was an Alvina Kraus performance." I thought I'd die. It was one of the few times someone tells you exactly what you've always longed to hear.
Before I premiered the piece in San Francisco at Valencia Rose, I tried out my new repertoire at a private performance in a friends loft. To my horror, my poetic gothic tale got all sort of inappropriate laughter. Particularly, the character of the Countess was greeted with boffo laughs. Afterwards, people were congratulating me on my clever spoof. I went back into rehearsal with Ken Elliott and we worked hard at cutting all the laughs we didn't want. There was humor in the piece but not that much! It was fascinating. I learned a lot about getting laughs by discerning what wrong cues I was giving the audience. When I opened in San Francisco, there were still a few places where the melodrama was a bit over the top that sent the wrong message to the audience. I continued refining the piece throughout the engagement and by the final performance, I had the audience responding exactly as I had intended.
At the very end of my solo career, I played my most prestigious engagement at the Indianapolis Repertory Theatre. This was a first class regional theatre, and although I was in their smaller cabaret space, I considered it a prestige gig. My reviews were excellent and attendance was good but I did feel I was coming to the end of a certain period of my life.
The eight years I worked as a solo performer were essential to my development as an actor/writer but filled with loneliness and frustration. It was hard showing up alone in a strange city and forced to rely on the good graces of the mostly impoverished non-profit theatres that had engaged me. I longed for the sense of camaraderie that can be such a magical part of the theatre. I also had reached a certain level of professionalism where I received great reviews and could even sell out on a rainy Tuesday in Santa Cruz, but just couldn't earn a living. Between sold out engagements around the country, I had to return to New York and scrounge around for a buck as an office temp, telephone solicitor of hot typewriter ribbons, giving out a gambling tips on a sports hotline, and most often as a quick sketch portrait artist. It's awful having your nose pressed against the glass and knowing in your heart that you have so much to offer.
However, in April of 1984, just when I really was at low ebb, Ken and I went to see our friend, Bina Sharif, perform at a small after hours club in the East Village called the Limbo Lounge. It was such a fascinating, raffish environment that I had a mad longing to put on a play there. My strange career as a performance artist, garbed severely in black, left me anxious to do something truly outrageous and colorful. That something turned out to be "Vampire Lesbians of Sodom" and opened up a very different chapter of my life.

Pony Insurance Policy Details
What is pony insurance?
Pony insurance is designed to cover the unforeseen incidents that very easily occur. Owning a pony is a big responsibility and it's important to consider the financial implications before purchasing one. This includes considering how you would cope if the pony was involved in an accident, needed veterinary care or if someone was hurt whilst looking after it; this is where pony insurance can help.
Insuring your pony isn't a legal requirement, however it is an important part of responsible ownership. Pony insurance can protect you against the unexpected costs of emergency veterinary treatment and is in the best interests of the general public and of course, your pony.
What exactly will be covered on my pony insurance policy?
With Petplan Equine, pony insurance policies can be tailored to suit your individual needs. While some owners will want a comprehensive pony insurance policy to include extensive optional benefits, others may wish to pick a few that are important to them. For ponies aged between 30 days and 20 years (when the policy is taken out), Petplan Equine's flexible insurance products offer a great choice. Petplan Equine's Horse Insurance policy covers illness and injury until the pony's 25th birthday*, which is ideal for native ponies that tend to live longer and more active lives.
* providing the pony is insured before its 20th birthday and there is no break in cover.
Petplan Equine's Veteran plan is available for ponies 17 years and over. It covers injuries along with the other essentials you would look for on a pony insurance policy.
For most owners the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about insuring their pony is "Vet Fees. There are many different levels of cover available within the pony insurance market and it's important to look for a policy that will offer a high enough benefit level, an excess that you can afford and are willing to pay, as well as not having limits on what you can claim for. For example, some pony insurance policies limit the amount that can be claimed towards diagnostic treatment such as MRI scans so make sure you understand what your pony insurance policy covers. Petplan Equine will allow the maximum benefit to be used for treatment recommended by your vet.
Pony insurance policies also cover Third Party Liability. This offers protection if you are found legally responsible for damage or injury your pony has caused to another person or their property. Many pony clubs, livery yards and competitions will specify that you must have the pony insured for Third Party Liability. Make sure the pony insurance policy you choose will cover your pony while it is being handled by your friends and family as well as you.
Permanent Loss of Use is another benefit offered as part of a pony insurance policy. This covers the pony's value should it have an illness or injury resulting in it not being able to carry out the activities it is insured to do. Some pony insurance policies will specify that Permanent Loss of Use can only be claimed for a pony that has an illness or injury meaning it's completely retired and cannot be ridden at all. Other pony insurance policies offer cover if the pony has to be retired from specific activities but can still be used for something else. Make sure the pony insurance policy you choose offers the right level of cover for you. Permanent Loss of Use usually has age restrictions; for Petplan Equine age limits are between 2 and 17 years.
Some pony insurance policies will provide standard benefits and with Petplan Equine these are Death, Theft and Straying. Under these benefits you will be covered up to the determined market value (or the sum insured if lower than the market value) of your pony in the sad event of its loss.
Other important benefits offered under pony insurance policies will include:
- Personal Accident for the rider or handler; some pony insurance providers will only cover named riders and others offer cover for all friends and family members as standard.
- Saddlery and Tack cover is often a good additional extra; protecting you against the costs of repair or replacing lost, damaged or stolen tack.
- Trailer and Horse-Drawn Vehicle insurance is also offered under most insurance policies should you have a pony trap or trailer.
Terms, conditions and excesses apply.
What activities will the pony insurance policy cover?
Whether you're looking for insurance to cover a young rider and pony club, yourself on a native pony, or a family pony that does a bit of everything, there will be a pony insurance policy suitable for you.
With Petplan Equine there are a range of activity groups to choose from. Starting with retired horses at grass, "the golden oldies", through pony and riding club competitions to polo and horse ball. It's important to make sure your pony insurance policy has the right activity group as some activities pose greater risks than others.
Do I get a discount for having more than one pony insurance policy with the same company?
Most pony insurance providers will offer a discount for having more than one pony insured with them. If you own several ponies and want to insure them all, it's worth keeping them with the same insurance provider. Having all your horses and ponies on the same pony insurance policy also reduces paperwork and makes it easier to track your details when you call the company. Petplan Equine offers a discount if you have 3 or more ponies, horses or donkeys insured.

Call me jaded or cynical, but I often giggle at maternity photos because they are supposed to be a depiction of your pregnancy, and I would just like to state, I have never stood holding my giant stomach on a beach staring lovingly by the ocean. Don't get me wrong, pregnancy is a beautiful thing but for me, I like my pictures to tell the story of what really happened. So I thought about it: What are some ideas that really convey the "pregnancy experience."
Laying with your face pressed on the bathroom floor
When I was pregnant with my daughter, this was my favorite activity. Why? Because the cold of the floor helped my nausea and it was the only place I didn't feel like I was on the bottom of a boat
Asleep in the most bizarre places
Under your desk, conference rooms, Barnes and Nobles, the steering wheel……
Your Facial Expressions at the OB's office
"What do you mean I am only a fingertip dialated??????????"
Feet and Ankles
Because I know I cherished the time my feet looked like water balloons with vienna sausages attached.

|Activity Date
|2010 - 2010
A water and gas geothermometer study was done to help define the reservoir temperature.
24 different water and gas geothermometers were analyzed. Most of the geothermometers analyzed in this study show that temperatures in the reservoir may exceed 200 C. A Fisher-Tropsch diagram predicts temperatures of 230-240 C for the reservoir fluid. A quartz geothermometer (T-Qtz) predicts temperatures of 213 C.

Cedar shakes are wooden shingles that are constructed out of split logs. These natural materials have been used for roof installation all over the world for many years and are admired for their beauty and long-lasting durability.
High-quality natural cedar shakes are typically used for roofing projects while other wooden shakes may be used for siding. When properly installed, cedar shakes can provide long-lasting protection against harsh weather conditions and the outdoor elements.
Natural cedar shakes provide a rough and rugged look to any type of home and help increase aesthetic value. While they can require more maintenance than other common roofing supplies, the simplistic look of wooden shakes is greatly desired by many homeowners who are interested in designing a rustic-looking home using natural materials.
Cedar roofs have proven itself in extreme weather situations, including heavy snow and hail storms. Even hail depressions will recover without affecting the service life of the roof thanks to the natural resiliency of the wood fibers.
Cedar roofing and shingles are also extremely resistant to heavy winds. Cedar roofs have withstood wind tests in excess of 130 miles per hour without any damage. This same strength helps insulate your home, preventing the loss of cold air in the summer and the loss of hot air in the winter.
Under optimal conditions, cedar roofing can last from between 20 to 50 years. Cedar wood also contains natural oils that prevent rot. Further, cedar roofing leaves more airflow around the shingles, preventing mold growth.
Aside from being environmentally-friendly, Cedar roofing has an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio with little movement due to changes in moisture content or temperature. It is highly resistant to rain and keeps its beauty and protective qualities with little to no maintenance.
Wood shake roofs are Eco-friendly, renewable, versatile, and can easily enhance curb appeal in a way asphalt shingles simply cannot. They are more expensive, tricky to install and require extra maintenance, however. Annual roofing inspection & proper care are vital if you want your wood shake roof to last.
Depending on quality of materials & installation, wood shake roofs can last anywhere from 30 to 60 years. Power-washing and the application of chemical cleaning solutions, preservatives, and pigmented finishes can add resilience and enhance the roof's appearance.
Below are some additional considerations for and against using wood shake as your material of choice.

We're still talking about Joe Vitale's lunch with God. It's fascinating, really, and it gives you a little look into Joe Vitale's motivations, psychology, and reality. For someone who says he loves everyone, for someone who tweets frequently that "I love you" is the most powerful statement you can say, it's odd who Joe feels God-like feelings towards.
Is it someone with a huge heart, someone who radiates love and kindness in every statement?
Is it someone who can provide him health and healing?
Is it someone who can solve homelessness? (After all, Joe says this is a big problem, a problem worthy of his conspicuous altruistic attention.)
Is it someone who can solve worldwide problems of hatred, bigotry, and violence?
Or is it someone who has a few hundred million at his disposal.
Yes, the person who shows up and makes Joe see God is a per$on in bu$ine$$ ca$ual that make$ Joe $ee what i$ mo$t important to him.
Not love.
Not health.
Not helping people.
Not changing the world.
Nope. Joe Vitale saw dollar signs, and that is his God. He's willing to take someone's last few thousand dollars through a hard sell in his miracle coaching program before he will help a homeless person.
Operation YES, according to my research, is a sham organization that does absolutely nothing. It doesn't meet the promises that have been stated for nearly 4 years. It doesn't even try.
Joe Vitale's primary focus is money, it is his God, it is what he wants more than anything. And when he says "I love you" what he really means is "I love your money."
If Operation YES really is committed to changing the world and not just a sham organization that Joe pulls out when he's looking to look altruistic, why did he not tell his "God" in their lunch meeting about his goals of helping people around the world overcome homelessness? Why was that not pitched as an idea bigger than big, bigger than Joe's ego?
Perhaps because Joe feels that he wouldn't get enough attention, that the evil mainstream media would just turn it into another Hoshun doll escapade and ridicule Joe. Because there are never any feel good stories about people overcoming homelessness on mainstream media. Nevermind this guy. They are just looking to victimize people like Joe who are REALLY doing good work, you know.
Operation YES, homeless of the world, you're on your own. Really, it isn't Joe's fault that the media won't report in his favor. But he'll show them. Yes, he will. He'll show them.
After all, he's got "God" on his $ide.

Valentine's Day is right around the corner which means now is the time to plan. If dinner and a movie have been your go-to date night in the past, opt for something a little different this year. Here are a few ways you can surprise your sweetheart this Valentine's Day.
Recreate Your First Date
Whether you've been together for 3 years or 30 years, re-doing your first date is a thoughtful way to show your sweetheart just how much he/she means to you. Taking your partner to the same restaurant or cooking the same meal is a romantically nostalgic way to kick off the evening.
Get Out of Town
A day spent traveling, even if it's only an hour away, is always fun and exciting. Doing the same routine, such as going to a bar or seeing a movie, is more enjoyable when escaping to a new environment. Pack the car, or book a cheap flight, and take him/her to a new city or town.
Make a Reservation
Has your partner recently spoken of a restaurant that he/she really wants to try? Give the restaurant a call, reserve a table, and ask if they can supply chocolates, champagne, and other Valentine's Day goodies to the table. Your sweetheart will appreciate the special treatment!
Write a Letter
Sometimes the most romantic gestures are ones that come from the heart. Sit down, sharpen your pencil, and write a letter to your sweetheart. Tell him/her how much you adore them, why, and how much it means that you get to spend Valentine's Day together.
Plan Your Valentine's Day with An Extraordinar Limousine!
Extraordinar Limousine Inc. is one of the most professional companies in the business. We have one of Maryland's largest and most diverse selections of vehicles which enable us to provide our clients with the professional and reliable service they expect and deserve.

Hi Guys! Whoop whoop! Another work week almost donezo! Can't you tell I'm excited for the weekend? This past weekend I was able to get off work early and lay out by the pool, totally needed it! On Saturday we enjoyed some fun in the sun on the lake with great friends.
Here is our "pre-lake" pic…
Poor Corey, he is a ghost but he did not fry and we were out in the sun the majority of the day. I was a proud wife. ;)
Being in the sun and outside always puts me in a better mood no matter what the case may be. It would be amazing to live somewhere near the water, maybe one day.
Of course we had to get Mexican after being on the lake all day. Le duh.
On Sunday, we went to church and then celebrated one of my best friend's 24th birthday. You have probably heard me mention Hannah in previous posts before. She was my old roomie throughout college and probably one of the only people who will put up with me.
I also had this cuddle buddie on Sunday. We discovered a new TV series together. I am now officially obsessed with Mad Men. Just what I need - another TV show to make me more worthless. Ha oh well. Sophie wasn't that into it.
Memorial Day we enjoyed good food with family and friends. We cooked out with Corey's family for lunch and then with a sweet couple who is actually getting married in a couple of weeks. I absolutely love grilling out and have been making Corey do it more often since the weather finally permits.

Leave it to Betsey Mosby to prove that a young girl's bedroom can be princess pretty without a hint of pink or a ruffle in sight. The Jackson-based interior designer was tasked with creating just such a room for the tween daughter of clients in Oxford. It was a challenge she was happy to accept.
"MY VISION WAS TO CREATE A ROOM THAT SHE WOULD LOVE AND COULD PLAY IN NOW BUT THAT WOULD GROW WITH HER AND MAKE THE TRANSITION INTO HER TEEN YEARS EASILY, WHEN DOLLS AND DRESS-UP AREN'T AS IMPORTANT," says Mosby.
The upstairs room already had plenty of character built in, with dormer window nooks and a recessed reading corner with bookshelves. To balance the room visually, Mosby chose a crowning feature as a focal point. "I always love to do a canopy," she says. "It makes a bed feel special and fit for a princess, but we did this one with a very edited approach so it would not overpower the room." A tie-dye-inspired fabric hand-printed by Cindy Barganier was used for the canopy valance, and the room's icy blue and lavender color palette was drawn from this pattern. Layered in front of the silver canopy drape was a curvaceous custom headboard, and Mosby topped the bed with Matouk linens with a custom monogram.
The designer took a double-duty approach when selecting a desk, incorporating a clear acrylic console table and chair. "We added a bone-inlaid mirror to make it a great spot as she gets older and needs a vanity table," Mosby says.
In the two dormer nooks, Mosby created custom window seats using a stain-protected lavender metallic Zoffany fabric. The reading corner was transformed by re-covering an existing mini recliner in indoor/outdoor white fabric with lavender piping.
Mosby wrapped the walls, trim, woodwork and ceilings in Farrow and Ball's "Borrowed Light" pale blue paint. A beaded flush-mount light fixture hangs above the bed, adding glamour without competing with the graphic pattern of the canopy valance.
In the adjoining bathroom, special new details include a tonal textured wallpaper by Osborne & Little, a lavender monogram on the shower curtain, and an abstract painting by Memphis artist Hillary Butler. Above the lavender sink stand, a gold mirror was attached to the existing mirror, and a quatrefoil light fixture was installed overhead.
"I love how young this room feels and how well it works with her dolls and toys now," Mosby says, "but I also love that it can easily transition and grow with her as she gets older."
