AS ALMOST 1,500 members of the IR profession were headed home from the NIRI Annual Conference yesterday, the re-energized and almost-giddy folks at newly re-branded Marketwire were taking one last spin in the PR machine with what is hands-down the oddest release of the week.
Thom Brodeur, the newswire company's almost-new senior vice president of global strategy and development, said his firm was "going right to the source" to survey the "investor relations professionals who actively use blogs in their day-to-day communication or who seek to use blogs."
At this point I laughed so hard I spilt coffee all over my Blackberry. (This didn't really happen, but you'll soon learn why I'm claiming it did. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.)
Marketwire's survey of IR professionals who are using blogs is going to be one slim survey. If you watch IR practices as closely as us, you know that almost no IR departments are actively using blogs in their day-to-day communication. And while some might be monitoring the blogosphere for mentions of their company, few are paying the chatter much attention.
I'm not saying anything about whether IR departments should or shouldn't be using or paying attention to blogs. You know where I am on that. I'm just stating facts. The IR community as a whole is blog averse.
So Marketwire is going to be surveying almost no none. And here's the kicker: one of those invisible people is going to win "a new BlackBerry® mobile device enabled with Dashboard Mobile Financial(TM)" for participating and giving Marketwire their contact details.
Given the pool of qualified participants, odds are good you could win.
This was Marketwire's fourth news release linked to the NIRI Annual Conference this week. It started on Monday with an announcement that the company had a new logo. Marketwire is forged by a union between CCNMatthews of Canada and Market Wire in the U.S. Since last December, it has been majority owned by OMERS Capital Partners, the private equity arm of one of Canada's largest pension funds.
Also on Monday, the company issued a release about becoming the exclusive newswire feed on Dashboard Mobile Financial which distributes financial content to Blackberry devices.
Then on Tuesday, Marketwire and Ilios Partners announced a partnership that will see Marketwire services bundled with Ilios' IR Navigator targetting, CRM and emailing application. That was probably the best the company had to announce all week, except that it "will be available "in the US "this summer" and in the UK and Canada "shortly thereafter." So it also doesn't exist just yet.
I can't help feeling that Marketwire is just a tad aggressive in its use of its own product — news releases. But this may not be all bad because we need more spunk and enterprising spirit like Marketwire's in the IR industry — even if it is polling people who don't exist.

Over the next few months, we will be revealing the titles that will become the summer reading options for the summer of 2015. Students will select one title from a list of around five novels per grade (In the subject line of the post, "Freshmen" means that the book will be read by incoming freshmen, not existing ones, etc.).
Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut
When Time Magazine published an article at the beginning of the 21st century, asking which contemporary author would be seen as the voice of the early 2000's when we look back in 50 or 100 years, they gave examples of authors who really captured the feel of their era better than anyone else. Want to read the Jazz Age? Pick up F. Scott Fitzgerald. The "Me Generation" of the '80s? Try Bright Lights, Big City. And to understand the paranoia of the Cold War and the skepticism of the Vietnam era, they pointed to Vonnegut. In this title, a fictional republic has been created in the Caribbean by the son of a scientific genius. This dictator was given a very powerful gift from his father when he died – a gift that would allow him to destroy all civilization. This novel tracks a character who wishes to seek out this dictator and write a biography about him and his family. Along the way, you'll see Vonnegut's madcap humor, his political edge, and his sharp satire of American politics. The pace is quick, and if you've never read Vonnegut, this book is a good introduction to one of America's most distinct literary voices.

Where Would I Be with Audio

Poem by: sherry1
If I could have a wish just for today where would I be;
somewhere that I could simply be free.
A cabin in the mountains I think I would choose;
inside all my worries would be easy to lose.
Surrounded by snowfall that muffles all sound;
so pure and pristine as it falls to the ground.
No curtains on the windows for I want to see;
the beauty around me that fills me with glee.
The fire would be crackling and that soft amber glow;
would keep me all toasty from my head to my toes.
A tune soft and mellow , ah yes that's the sound;
to add to the peace that I feel all around.
Candles would be glowing their flames dancing in time;
to the sounds that surround me yes this is sublime.
My paper and pen is there waiting for me;
to capture my thoughts whatever they may be.
No phones, no computers, no doorbells, no chores;
just me and my musings would be heaven for sure.
And if by some chance a kindred spirit I find;
well that would just add to this most special time.
The pillows are waiting on the floor by the fire;
a most perfect place to quell this consuming desire.
Oh yes if this wish I could have for the day;
my bags would be packed and I would be on my way.

If only most wishes came true. Or at least the ones like yours.
it's nice that you have a special place in you mind; great poem!
I felt like I was there already.
Well, you can certainly tell you've been reading and witing for a while. I apreciate the perfection of the poems format. You seem wise and playful, great mix. I'm very lucky to live in BC, as we have all these things at our fingertips. Thanks for the gratitude check!!
Great! I happen to have a cabin in the woods, in Flagstaff, north of Phoenix, 7000ft above my desert home. My wife and I go as often as we can, of course our son comes, too, but hey, we have our moments. It was -6 there this morning! This is one smooth flowing poem. You did good!
i'd come with you in a second (oops, i just propositioned a stranger. sorry. just liked that world so much) well, you certainly brought that to life for me. and for that i thank you.
You told this in a way that made the images strong, I could picture being there and carrying out every wish you made. Nice!
Well I did dash off right away and read this poem.
And it is such a wonderful idea. My kind of place. I love the mountains and the lakes.
How about reading my Pot of gold. You might find that a sadder but has a similar sentiment. The picture on my profile prompted me to write it
Thanks for sharing your work. I really do like :)

[Shane Caldwell:] Source: LYBIO.net
There was a time in my life I was down so low, a mosquito wouldn't even bite me.
I lost my job, my 4 wheel drive, I even got throwed out of my trailer.
All because of one thing: freebasing cocaine. That's all my life was, was basing, nothing else. I was on that last lap, with that checker flag about to wave me on into hell. But I got lucky.
I got into rehab program down der in Redstone Arsenal down der in Alabama and with dem people helpin' me. Well that smoking white devil is no longer a part of my life.
I could proudly say that today, I do not freebase cocaine.
Now I'll take a drink, now. I will take a drink but I do not freebase cocaine.
Well, you know, I'll take a drink and I might even smoke a little reefer. You know, you know I like to smoke reefer. You know, it relaxes me and everything. A couple doobies, you know, just ta get you through the day and everything. But, far as basin goes, I don't do it
Now I'll do some toot now. Don't get me wrong. I will do some toot you know. You know if you're partying and everything, and somebody comes up and give it to you, its impolite not to take it there. So me and my girlfriend, Sally, we, you know, we party man I tell you. We do party. So you know, I will do some toot.

Going all night and partyin' – as freebasing goes, I don't do that. I will not freebase cocaine, I will not touch it. Unless it's my birthday some my special occasion I get at that pipe and I base. I won't freebase if I'm – if I'm behind the wheel of a car, I won't do it, if I'm dying in the car, I won't do it, uuuunless – you know, we stopped in traffic and you know we're going to be here a while and put on the radio and I will pull out the pipe then and I base. But I will – I will not freebase cocaine ooooo if I'm in church, I will not freebase cocaine in church. Unless there's a hymn and I don't like it, something, I might get out that pipe and I'll base in, and I'm admitting it – I wouldn't do it during the sermon though, I will not freebase cocaine in church during the sermon, unless, unless I heard it before. If I heard it – I don't want to hear the same thing, you don't want to just sit there and do nothing, I'll get out that pipe and I'll base – but I won't – I won't do it uh… I won't – I will not do it at the alter, I will not – I can tell you right now, I've been through that rehab and freebasing is no longer part of my life.

Trauma Cleansing
Power of Trauma is often overlooked , often one feels like its been dealt with by pushing it into the back of the mind , or the modern societty feels that counselling sets us free from such experiences.Little people will realise the remains left behind are not that simply cleaned .
The reason being is the Auto Protection measures that the pysical body takes to protect itself . The power mind is a very powerful weapon , during the trauma , the individual experiences an emotional explosion within their Auric field and the physical body's experiences so much stress that it degenerates on a cellular level , goes into destruction mode as if to say and the physical body then creates Crystals in the body to protect the cells from further damage ! These crystals are very tiny . But they hold your pain of this trauma , if it is poked , triggered by memories ,it will actually hurt !
In this treatment , The Kundakini Reiki flow is intended to clear these crystals in the physical body . The treatment is private and there is no need to discuss the details of the Trauma , the Energy flow will dissolve your Traumatic Crystals .
After this treatment , you will literally feel lighter , simply because you will no longer be carrying the baggage of the Trauma .
Duration is estimated of 30 minutes , rest recommended straight after.
Please call in store to book .

Applications must be received by September 11, 2017
Read about URISC@SC17 on the STEM-Trek site.
Cybersecurity professionals, HPC systems administrators, educators, researchers, tech project managers, and network engineers who are responsible for securing research computing systems and data at sub-Saharan African and U.S. colleges and universities in resource-constrained regions are welcome to apply – especially women and others from demographics that are under-represented in STEM academic tracks and careers. Applicants must be at least 21 years old by November 1, 2017, and work at least 50 percent of the time in a support role helping students, faculty and staff leverage locally-hosted, or remotely-accessed advanced cyberinfrastructure for education and open research.
To Apply
A curriculum vitae or resume, full facial photograph and brief biography (200 words) should be included with a cover letter, adviser/supervisor recommendation letter and copy of an identification card or passport. US applicants may provide a photocopy of their driver's license, or state or university-issued identification card. African applicants must provide a photocopy of their passport photo page. International travelers are responsible for securing their own visas (where applicable), and must have at least three blank pages in their passport.
We expect the process will be competitive. Therefore, cover letters must provide a justification for why the applicant should be supported, and how they intend to pay-it-forward—include specific and unique reasons.
The adviser/supervisor letter of recommendation should declare their support and describe how the university (or host institution) will benefit from the activity, that the release time from work is approved, and how the individual intends to share what they have learned with others. For example, they might teach a workshop, conduct a seminar, or mentor students who are following a relevant academic path.
Application Checklist
- Cover letter
- Photo ID copy (or passport photo page)
- Professional photograph/head shot. By providing your photo, you acknowledge that STEM-Trek and its collaborators may use it for publicity purposes on the public web site, and any communications collateral developed for the activity. Photos will be taken during the activity will also be used for promotional purposes unless you officially opt out (see number 7).
- Letter of recommendation (faculty, adviser or supervisor)
- CV/Resume (2-pages maximum).
- Brief biography explaining the applicant's experience and interests (as they relate to HPC; in addition to what is already on their CV/Resume).
- Two brief essays (300 words, or one-page total):
- "How will this experience benefit me?" and "What are my expectations for this experience?"
- "How does the delegate intend to pay-it-forward at home?" (STEM-Trek encourages participants to provide a pay-it-forward proposal that describes how participants intend to share new information with others at home or how they can contribute in some other meaningful way that supports STEM-Trek objectives).
- If you do NOT authorize use of your photo, name or bio for publicity purposes, you must still provide a photograph with your application, but include a paragraph to explaining why in your cover letter. For example, some who perform cybersecurity forensics or auditing 50 percent of the time might opt for anonymity. In that case, disclose the conflict in your cover letter, and ask your adviser/supervisor to support the business case for anonymity in their letter of support.
- Delegates must purchase their own travel health insurance if their primary insurance does not cover travel. Proof of health insurance coverage is required before flights will be arranged.
- Non-US delegates are responsible for obtaining necessary visas.
- All applicants must sign the URISC @SC17 Code of Conduct which, by signing, indicates they agree to treat others with respect, be on time and attend all planned activities (including sponsored dinners). Travel awards and/or reimbursements are contingent upon delegates' conduct.
Selections will be made by a multinational committee of volunteer reviewers led by Elizabeth Leake (STEM-Trek); the strongest applicants will be offered travel support.
Applications with .jpg and .doc (MSWord) attachments must be received by email@example.com no later than September 11, 2017. Please use the subject line: APPLICATION FOR URISC@SC17
Award notification letters will issued on or before September 25, 2017. Final awards are contingent upon the final funding outcome (some donors are still considering the amount, and others may join).

TheHard Yacht Cafe
General Manager
Executive Chef
Bar Manager
Founders and Owners
Restaurant Manager
Back in the 80's, those of you dining on our lovely deck listening to the music and enjoying our wonderful food would've at that time been swimming. Anchor Bay "East" Marina was founded by Art & Tina Cox and Art's parents Ron & Ruth Cox.
Before opening, this establishment was nothing more than a trash pile for debris. Immediately, Art wanted a deck in this area and Ron thought he was absolutely crazy! Which those who know Art know- that is absolutely true.
It very soon it became an uncovered area for picnic tables. Great idea, but as you can imagine it was pretty deserted on a day of bad weather. Our first plan was to put it under cover, as we did! This turned into a great hangout for our slip renters in semi-decent weather. After much of that wind and rain on Art Cox (Owner)'s face we all knew this place was going to go a little further. Eventually, our picnic area became the CrabShack! Our 10 picnic table deck became a room with a door and even windows! Boy, were we excited! Our coffee stayed warm and our feet stayed dry! The CrabShack was taken over by the slip renters as we had hoped. They all put in there ideas and donations until we had heat/AC, tables, chairs, microwaves, coffee pots, refrigerators, counter tops, and even a woodstove. As you may or may not know a woodstove these days can get a little tricky and unpredictable. Well our late, slip renter and great friend, Dale Raub (fireman) found that out and did manage to catch our CrabShack on fire. Nothing too serious we patched the roof and were back in business the next evening! Ok we had a swimming pool too, but that was short-lived.
By now were into the 2000's and collectively had a great thing going on the weekends.Tragically, in 2005 Hurricane Isabel hit us pretty hard. After 72 hours of no sleep and constant swims out to check everything it was finally over. To everyone's surprise we had no real damage and two days later, the CrabShack was back in business, again! Now that's commitment. By the front door you'll see watermark plaques that show the actual height of the water during the storm. After all of our ups and downs and plenty of drinking nights the "HYC idea" was being discussed more and more. All it finally took in the winter of 2006 was the help of Brett Austin, formerly of Cactus Willies, County Executive Jim Smith, his staff, and the boys at Anchor Bay. Before we could realize it, the Hard Yacht was getting ready to open for business! Art's daughter Jennifer lured boaters into the bar with fresh crushes & her infamous laugh, heard from the TIKI! Courtney sat down with Brett & the kitchen crew and brainstormed our menu pretty close to the one you have. In 2009, we were named one of Baltimore's Best Bars in Baltimore Magazine.
As the boaters of Bear Creek brought about the best in the place, more locals learned of the new dock-bar down in Dundalk. Soon the word of mouth was traveling all along the water & even to other states. The parking lot became packed every weekend for live music and delicious food & drinks! The kitchen design was hardly enough for the colossal crowds of hungry HYC customers who couldn't get enough Conch Fritters & HYC Eggrolls! We had to craft a few additions to our kitchen and restaurant to keep up, even in our "off-season".
Our management team grew too, we have quite the crew that keep the good times rolling! The serving staff and bartenders pulled together & poured everything they had into welcoming the waves of people on the busy weekends. The TIKI bar attracted a group of regulars who have really left their mark on the place, our very own Ramp Crew. Thanks to our hardworking team, loyal friends and customers, and invigorated kitchen staff; the Hard Yacht Cafe has flourished. It has been ten years since we've opened our doors and docks to the community. Honestly, to myself and many others the rest of the details all blur together in a huge rush. We have a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and bruises that went into our establishment. Did I mention tears?

Woodland Hills Cosmetic Dentist, Dr. Bobby Irani, Offers Smile Makeovers
Woodland Hills dentist, Dr. Bobby Irani, offers smile makeovers that can transform virtually any smile. Smile dissatisfaction is a common problem for many Americans today. Some have untreated orthodontic issues while others may be missing one or more teeth. Stained teeth, chipped teeth and worn teeth can all detract from a person's smile satisfaction and may even affect his or her self-confidence.
Smile makeovers can include one or several cosmetic treatments that are carefully chosen to complement one another and to help the patient reach his or her goals. Teeth whitening is a common choice because it can create a younger, brighter appearance often in as little as an hour. Orthodontics can be used to straighten smiles for a healthier, more uniform appearance.
Patients may even have the option to choose from several types of orthodontics to help them reach their goals attractively and comfortably.
An appearance of instant orthodontic work can be created using porcelain veneers. Veneers can be used not only to create a straighter-looking smile but also a smile that is whiter, brighter and more attractive by concealing numerous flaws, including chips, worn enamel and fractures.
Even lost teeth can be replaced using dental implants, dental bridges or dentures. Patients can benefit from a consultation that allows them to learn more about their options and create a treatment plan that includes necessary and desired treatments. Dr. Irani, Woodland Hills dentist, offers numerous treatments that can correct, restore and enhance smiles for improved self-confidence and dental health.

Benedict Cumberbatch & Fiancee Expecting First Child — Congrats
How exciting! Benedict Cumberbatch's fiancee is pregnant. Congrats!
Benedict Cumberbatch, 38, is going to be a father for the first time with his fiancee, Sophie Hunter, 36. The couple recently became engaged in Nov. 2014, and now they have even more reason to celebrate!
Benedict Cumberbatch Expecting First Child
This is such happy news for this adorable couple!
On Tuesday, Jan. 6, it was revealed that Benedict and his fiancee, Sophie, are expecting, via Page Six.
Just three days earlier on Jan. 3, Benedict brought Sophie along to the Palm Springs International Film Festival where she wore a noticeably loose top and kept her handbag in front of her stomach at all times.
Thankfully, Benedict's rep released this statement to HollywoodLife.com, confirming the happy news:
"I am delighted to confirm that Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter are expecting their first child. They are both over the moon."
Congrats to the happy couple!
Benedict & Sophie Planning To Wed Before Baby?
Although it's unknown how far along Sophie could be exactly, if she's already trying to hide a baby bump she has to be past the first trimester at the least.
However, a source close to the couple has revealed that they are already working out their wedding plans.
"Sophie is a few months along, and both she and Benedict are very excited about it. They are also quietly planning to marry in early spring," explained the source.
So, could this wedding be before the baby arrives, or after? I guess we'll find out soon enough!
Tell us, HollywoodLifers — Are you excited for Benedict and Sophie? Do you think they'll wed before or after their baby arrives? Comment below!

Pic of the Week 2/16/17
"Quartz Mountain Lodge"
Date taken: 2/14/16
Location: Quartz Mountain State Park Lone Wolf, OK
I exhaled sharply as I heaved my camera bag over my head and up onto the rock ledge. It wasn't a long hike, but it was steep. Plus I had only gotten a few hours of rest before it was time to get up and shoot sunrise. I had spent most of the night in the cold shooting star trails and the milky way. There was a brief period where I could rest. Although it did not last very long. I tossed and turned in the front seat of my car until I finally got comfortable and my eyes started to drop. I swear it was only a few seconds before I was rudely awakened by my alarm on my cell phone. 2hrs before sunrise it was time to get up and start hiking to be there in time for the blue hour.
So there I was on top of this hill a couple hundred feet above the surrounding landscape. I looked down to see the Quartz Mountain Lodge and Fine Arts Center with the Twin Peaks standing in the the background. More mountains could be seen way off in the horizon hugging closely to the shore of Lake Altus-Lugert. I walked around for a while looking for a good composition and once I found it I started setting my gear up and waited. It was still a while before sunrise and I was concerned the clouds off to our south and east might ruin our chances for some good color in the sky. But as sunrise got closer it started to clear to the east. When the sun broke the horizon the thin cirrus clouds hanging above the mountains ignited in a fiery warm glow. The clouds added some nice texture to the sky and made the landscape appear even more dramatic.
I sat up on the ledge eating my breakfast and shooting photos. It was nice and quiet with no one else around. I love being the only one to experience these moments they make them that much more special. One of my favorite quotes is by Ansel Adams who said, "Sometimes I show up just when God is ready for someone to press the shutter." I feel this is very true for me and its in these isolated and wonderful moments that I feel the closest to him.

All capacitor sales are final.
1. How much are the shipping and handling charges?
All orders are shipped USPS Priority Mail. The shipping and handling charges for most (typical orders - read below how shipping rates are calculated) small boxed shipments are as follows: USA deliveries are $7.00, Canada delivery is USD 22.00, and all other listed International countries' deliveries are USD 26.00.
2. How are shipping rate charges calculated - by item, by weight, or volume?
Shipping charges are based on total weight and volume, not by individual items. Typically, three large capacitor kits, three power supply kits, and a tube of heat sink compound can all fit inside a small flat rate box for one low shipping price. Another example would be one 12-in-1 screwdriver, one MOB cap kit, one PSU cap kit, and a tube of Arctic Silver Thermal paste would all fit in one box, for one low shipping price. When larger quantities of products are purchased, the shipping charges go up accordingly. You can use the shipping estimator to give yourself an idea on the shipping charges. The shipping charges will also be plainly seen on the Google Checkout page once you are logged into your Google Checkout account, and before the final "Place your order now" button is clicked. You can edit your order using the "Edit order" link near the top right of your Google Checkout, or navigate back using your browser back button from the Google Checkout page go back to, add to, or subtract from, the main order before you complete the order transaction.
1. Do you offer worldwide shipping; to Canada and internationally to all countries?
We offer worldwide shipping to many of the countries around the world. However, if you do not see your country listed below as a destination, please contact me. Send me an email and I will look into adding your country to the destination country shipping list.
2. What countries is International shipping available for?
Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, plus most countries in the Europe Region. If you don't see your country listed here, please send me an email to see about adding your country to the International country list.
1. US Deliveries: How quickly will my order arrive for USA USPS Priority Mail delivery?
You can expect your order, via USPS Priority Mail, to arrive in three to five days, but possibly sooner for USA delivery.
2. International Deliveries: How long does it take for worldwide international shipments to arrive?
World wide international shipping via USPS Priority Mail International takes longer than domestic delivery. USPS Priority Mail International service offers 6-10 (business days) average business days delivery. Note: 10 business days could be as long as two weeks, possibly a day or two longer depending on what the US Postal Service counts as the full day, plus holidays. Historical data has shown that delivery to some countries varies on the shorter side of the average delivery time, while other countries are on the longer side of the average delivery time. Note also that Customs on occasion may detain packages for a period of time by the receiving country's customs agency.
Please be a bit patient on the international deliveries. I ship those out almost as soon as I receive them in order to get it there as quickly as possible, as I understand everyone wanting to get the parts as quickly as possible. USPS Priority Mail is a reasonable price and good service. If you wanted Federal Express or UPS delivery it would cost an arm and a leg for the customer, and simply be way too expensive for you and very time consuming on my end. USPS has been extremely reliable even when considering the Customs office on the receiving end.

Monday at a joint news conference with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, President Donald Trump defended his young administration's policy on immigration and reiterated he was keeping a promise he had made during the campaign.
Trump was asked about the northern border between the United States and Canada being totally secure, it which he replied you could never be "totally confident," but he praised his Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly for his effort thus far.
"You can never be totally confident, but through the incredible efforts already, I see it happening … of Secretary Kelly," Trump said.
"We have really done a great job. We're actually taking people that are criminals — very, very hardened criminals, in some cases –with a tremendous track record of abuse and problems and we're getting them out. And that's what I said I would do. I'm just saying we are doing what I said I would do when we won by a very, very large Electoral College vote. And I knew this would happen and this is what people were wanting."
"And that wasn't my only thing that we did so well on, but that was something that was very important," he continued. "And I said we will get the criminals out, the drug lords, the gang members, we're getting them out. General Kelly, who is sitting right here, is doing a fantastic job. And I said at the beginning, we are going to get the bad ones, the really bad ones, we're getting them out. And that's exactly what we're doing. in the end, everyone is going to be extremely happy and a lot of people are very, very happy right now."

Wheel Nuts 2017 was once again an outstanding success for the organisers, The Friends of St Rose's with numbers of entries exceeding all expectations.
Held on Sunday 7th May, in the grounds of the school, over 450 entrants in all makes and models of classic cars arrived on the site from first thing in the morning to take their places in the line-up.
The annual show is the school's major fund-raising event. Principal, Sheila Talwar thanked everyone who attended and praised the generosity of visitors in helping St Rose's with their latest fund-raising project. Over the years the "Wheel Nuts" event has raised a considerable amount for projects which improve facilities for pupils and students. This year they are raising money to improve the Home Economics department converting it into a living skills department.
Large numbers of people visited the show to give their support to St Rose's and spent the day enjoying the fabulous sunshine and looking at the spectacular cars on show. Some exhibitors have supported the show every year since its inception some thirteen years ago, whilst there were many new-comers to the event. St Rose's staff, parents, governors and local friends and supporters give up their time to help with the event and carry out a range of duties from car-parking, commentary, manning stalls and helping serve food to visitors.
This year's event raised just over £7,500 a huge contribution towards the conversion of the Home Economics Department. Catering staff cooked an amazing 125 kilos of chips, 480 hot dogs, 600 burgers and produced a large amount of bacon rolls, tea, coffee and cakes to keep visitors fed during the day.
One of this year's attractions was the Wildchild Dragster kindly bought along by Andrew Williams, who is the three times National Champion of the Super Comp Class.
Visitors both young and old enjoyed looking at some of the amazing VW Camper Vans on show, all lovingly restored by their owners and showing how a past and even present generation of enthusiasts can customise a vehicle to provide comfortable accommodation.
For American Car enthusiasts there were some outstanding examples of classic American marques, from Chevrolet, Mustang and Dodge.
This years 'Best in Show' was awarded to local entrant Mr Charles Betts, who exhibited his 1938 Triumph Vitesse.
We were also very grateful to receive a cheque for £450 from the Cotswold Classic Car Club.
This year St Rose's was helped considerably by the sponsorship by Hookway Chartered Surveyors, we'd like to say thank you to them for their valued support, along with all the other volunteer and supporters who made the day possible. And to everyone for attending – there would be no show without you!

With consideration to the costume design, the performance and chemistry [added] by each figure skater, fluidity of the show itself, the aura, the crowd, etc. — Disney on Ice scores big with judges, and princes and princesses.
Disney on Ice – Act I
- Aladdin
- Finding Nemo
- Beauty & The Beast
- Cinderella
- The Little Mermaid
- Pocahontas
- Snow White
- Toy Story
- It's A Small World
Intermission – approximately 15 minutes
Disney on Ice – Act II
- Pinocchio
- Mulan
- The Incredibles
- Lion King
Disney on Ice made its way to the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum for six shows to celebrate 100 years of magic this past weekend. The three day set mostly attracted families with (younger) children but it is clear that Disney on Ice may be enjoyed by all.
Disney has always had this element to it that makes you comfortable with opening up your heart and imagination to happily ever after. The show runs approximately two hours (including one intermission) and takes you on the journey of 18 Disney stories. The Disney Princesses were the clear favorite in terms of ice time and story narration, but this didn't stop me from feeling like a Prince.
Fall in love with happily ever after on ice
In its most basic form, Disney on Ice is an elegant figure skating performance (in costume!) set to the big ideas and plot points contained in each story. If you have never been to a Disney on Ice performance, it's an interesting adventure into the expression of the original Disney masterpieces. Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse were the primary guides for the show and they skated in-and-out of scenes to add commentary. Jiminy Cricket of Pinocchio and Edna "E" Mode of The Incredibles were moving set pieces to their respective scenes, as Mickey and Minnie were to the whole show.
The Best of Disney on Ice at The Nassau Coliseum
Disney is known for delivering perfection and all of the Disney skaters at Nassau Coliseum were perfect but I did have a few favorite moments. Seeing Belle dip in The Beast's arms (in final Prince form) gives me goose bumps, Mulan is a powerful arrangement of ice skating choreography and you should hear the adults roar in laughter as The Incredibles come out in Act II.
The magnum opus of Disney on Ice is a set piece that does not have a main character and it does not come from a movie. Instead, the best part of the show originated from the 1964 New York World's Fair.
It's a small world after all
"A salute to the children of the world, designed by Walt Disney, presents animated figures frolicking in miniature settings of many lands. Visitors are carried past the scenes in small boats. In an adjoining building Pepsi sponsors exhibits by the U.S. Committee for the United Nations Children's Fund. Above the pavilion rises the 120-foot Tower of the Four Winds, a fanciful creation of coloured shapes that dance and twist in the breeze." – 1965 Official Guide Book to the New York World's Fair
To me, this is what Disney is all about: the children of the world. I know many people have reservations about Disney, and I am not saying one is right and one is wrong. Disney teaches children something important (something I think most adults lose somewhere along the way). Disney teaches children to embrace their imagination and keeps the dream alive.

I'm normally not that into fine dining. It has to do with me being very picky with my food and consequently not very experimental. But on our long-planned trip to Copenhagen I was surprised by my friend Pam wanting to eat the best of Danish food. Turned out there were lots of options, as Copenhagen hosts some major players when it comes to Michelin starred food. I had to put my foot down when it came to cost, as I'd already overspent in August. In the end we settled for a restaurant called Geist. The weather had turned on us and this was the closest affordable restaurant from our fine dining list that was nearby. We still got wet on the way, and I expected them to turn us away. After all we had no reservation, we were in tourist gear and we were a little bit wet.
But ohh they didn't. We were told we could either have a table for 1 hour and 20 min or sit on the heated terrace. As we did not want to rush the meal we opted for the terrace. When we sat down there were only two other people there, but it got busy quickly. It seemed like we got there just in time. There isn't a tasting menu and we were told we could order one course at a time, depending on our mood and how full we were. In my experience that's rather unusual.
First things first: Cocktails. The menu wasn't too long and most of it sounded amazing. All of them were priced as 110 DKK, roughly £13 at the time. It's the usual price in London and I thought it was decent, as the place was clearly high class. In our first round we went with Danish Summer Martini Strawberry Dill and the Lemon in Lemon in Lemon Hint of Thyme. Sadly I did not like my martini. The combination of flavours was just all wrong and unpleasant. Pam loved hers, but you cannot go wrong with Lemon on Lemon. We also really loved the bread rolls and the butter. Mhm, fresh bread with butter…one of my favourites.
The food menu was offering everything from veggie to fish and meat and ranged from 95 to 225 DKK (£10-£25). We started our culinary journey with Tartar of Norway Lobster with Yuzu and Hibiscus for Pam. When it came out I would have never guessed that this is lobster. It was looking slightly strange, as it was so thinly spread over the plate and dusted with what I assume is the hibiscus. The yellow light did not help make it more appetising. Pam looked at it skeptically, put the first fork in her mouth … and was completely smitten. She loved it. I chose Sugar Peas with Fried Egg and Wild Garlic Capers, even though the idea of capers was not appealing, but this was the place to risk it. Look at that egg yolk peeking through the wild garlic capers. It was delicious. We were happy that this adventure was going in the right direction.
For our second course Pam had the Black King Trumpets with Mackerel and I had the Salted and Dried Brest of Young Duck with Figs. Both dishes did not look great when they came out, as one ingredient covered up the rest of the plate. We had to dig through the first layer to find the rest. Pam was ok with her fish course, but I had a little bit too much duck and not enough fig on my plate. The balance wasn't right and because of the sheer amount of duck the plate in total was too salty.
On to our last savoury plates. I know it's not very fancy but I could not resist the Pot Roasted Cauliflower with Summer Truffle. I was given half a cauliflower with foam on top and truffle sauce. It was sublime. Melt on your tongue gorgeous! Pam's Scallops and Chicken Wings with Brown Butter was also great, but she said it was a little bit too rich for her after two courses.
We decided to get more cocktails and a dessert to share. So what else to have after the first cocktail disappointment? I went with something I eyed before the meal. Pam had talked me out of it, as it's an after meal drink in her opinion. Why did I listen to her?? I now had the Vinous Sage Bourbon Walnut. It was great! Just amazing. I think Pam went with the Liquorice Elderflower Velvet Smooth, but we booth decided that mine had more flavour. The dessert was Coconut Sorbet with Pomelo and Matcha Tea. What a refreshing delight!! While sipping our cocktails and waiting for the dessert, we observed our neighbours having coffee. Normally not something that fascinates me, but they got candy floss with it as well. Turns out everyone who orders coffee gets candy floss. As it was a rather damp evening it started to disintegrate immediately and droop in sugary little drops onto the table. It was strangely addictive – I just HAD to look at it from time to time to see its progress.
The whole experience was a delight. The waiter in the beginning put us at ease and helped us with the menu. It got a lot busier later on and we had to work hard to get his attention during the last hour of our stay. That was a bit of a downer, but generally the restaurant was great! One tip: don't get too drunk. The whole place is dark and when you get to the toilet areas there are a lot of black walls and mirrors.
I had two cocktails and I was getting a little bit disoriented. I wonder what happens if you are really in your cups. Talking to your mirror image while waiting for the unisex toilets to become free?
This restaurant has been established by chef Bo Bech, who previously had a Michelin starred restaurant called Paustian, before opening Geist in 2011. If you are in Copenhagen AND want a fine dining experience which doesn't cost an arm and a leg … this is the place!
