My Goodness! Tamara and Chef Craig and the crew certainly did put on a fantastic evening for us! If you have not yet been to Harvest Restaurant in Rogersville (actually nicely out in the country), you should call for reservations NOW! For a Thursday evening, the place was unusually full, and everyone there was obviously enjoying the heck out of their evening. Oh, yeah, I was playing music, too. But I got to stay for dinner afterwards with pals Monte and Linda Aspelmeier (happy birthday, Monte), and the gnocchi was wonderful, the cucumber salad crunchy and delicious, and the others had rabbit, which they said was quite flavorful and delightful. So go! (PS I sure hope they have me back!)

I was thrilled to perform during the after-concert cocktail party for the Kansas City Friends of the Symphony! Quite a welcoming group--everyone friendly and welcoming! A certain gentleman seated himself right by a window (well, it was ALL windows on the 22nd floor!) and listened to every song I sang, smiling & tapping his foot. I caught several of the patrons singing along with some of the oldies, and in general it was quite festive and fun! Thanks to my SUPER SISTER-IN-LAW, Nancy Woodland, for "underwriting" this appearance--you're the best, Nancy!

What a fabulous evening to be out on the patio at The Rasta Grill! I saw so much glorious-looking food come out of that kitchen, and such thirst-quenching libations, that it was difficult for me to keep my mind on singing! Thanks so much to Lou Whitney for assisting me in setting up the PA for a full sound, and thanks to Lou & Kay for their rapt attention throughout, to the Ozark Paddlers who showed up en masse, to "The Wayne Family", to Pete & Linda and their party, and to the mysterious adirondack chair-sitter who really showed how to enjoy a night in a strange town. I think Mark & Ron enjoyed the turnout--thanks for your support, everyone! PS Stormy, hope you can forgive me!

I cannot say enough nice things about the gig at The Studio. What a welcoming group of people there to celebrate the birthday of Bo Cameron, nephew of my good friend, Mitch Cameron. I re-connected with all the family & friends, and made a bunch of new ones. The staff was most helpful, genial, and the crowd, as I said, was most welcoming! I will return there whenever I'm in town, FER SURE!! Thanks also to Errol for playing drums along with the crazy stuff we made up! If you haven't been there, you should check it out...quite a little club!
|May 11, 2006
|The Artichoke Sandwich Bar Wichita KS
I love this place! Unfortunately I only had a few bites of my rueben, but it was out of this world! And the enthusiastic crowd at this little bar from 8-10 was more than a little gal from the Ozarks could have asked for! Thanks to Nathan & his entire family, and to Aaron for buying CD's and thanks loads to Pat Audley, proprietor extrordinaire for hosting such a fun gig. I'll be back if they'll let me!!
|May 10, 2006
|The Pump House Wichita KS
What fun--and what a wonderful job thses folks did in turning a little old gas station into one of the hippest bars in Old Town. Several tables of after-work professionals enjoyed my crooning, and I overheard a couple of them comparing me to Bonnie Raitt--over the top!!
|May 6, 2006
|Walnut Street Arts Fest Springfield MO
Well, a little rainy, but still a nice crowd. Thanks to all who showed up on purpose(!): Bob, Mark, Genny, Dave & Susie & Merle, House, McKay's, who'd I forget? And thanks to Jan for getting me on the schedule.
|Apr 28, 2006
|Harlow's on Kimbrough Springfield MO
Well, the weather wasn't nice, so we set up inside. This was the first time out for our new sound system (SLS speakers & monitors), including mics & all. It turned out quite well, if I say so myself. Lots of partiers came out for the show and we did a bunch of giggling.
|Apr 23, 2006
|Rainbow Coop Jackson MS
Luke and Charlotte were wonderful hosts and Steve did a teriffic job on the sound system. It was a lovely day in Jackson, MS and I set up out in the park with the diners and dancers all around. Almost pastoral. Quite fun!
|Apr 22, 2006
|Alcorn Jazz Festival Vicksburg MS
Dr. Dave Miller put on one heckuva conference/festival. I was in awe of the Educators Jazz Band as I was rehearsing with them (about 8.5 minutes, from my calculations), and I pretty much felt my way through WHEN SUNNY GETS BLUE and TIME AFTER TIME. They we got to LULLABY OF BIRDLAND and I think we all hit our stride together. Wow was that fun!
|Apr 21, 2006
|The Alamo Theater, Jackson MS Jackson MS
Wow what fun! Sherrill Holly and his brothers Kermit and Bubba (sax, keys & bass, respectively) along with Claude on keys and Willis on drums are a fun back-up band. The Alamo Theater is one heck of a facility in a historically black district of Jackson (Farish Street)that is undergoing a restoration, and the Alamo is looking like a crown jewel! There was an enthusiastic crowd at Friday night's performance, and I was quite gratified at the reception. We did One More Weekend, Mess of Blues, and Kansas City. I sold a number of CD's and made a nice donation to the Smith-Robertson Association from the proceeds. Thanks to my local manager, Savina Schoenhofer (my sister!), the gig was a success. Sherrill & his band said they'd love to back me when I come back to Jackson, and that is a "go" in my book! Photos should be posted on the website real soon.

I'm showing it who's boss. The big old oak tree that dropped the limb and put a hole in my roof is coming down! I had several people give me quotes on trimming it up or taking it down completely. Johnny Downs of Downs Tree Service pointed out several places that indicated the tree most likely is rotting on the inside and possibly hollow. He and his crew were here early and worked all day but still didn't get all the limbs off of it. They're coming back tomorrow to finish it up.
Some of the limbs they took down today are bigger than a lot of the other trees in my yard. Some of the limbs were rotting and one sent a flurry of carpenter ants when it was cut. I googled carpenter ants and found they like to build nests in rotting trees. I'm curious to see what the truck looks like on the inside when they get closer to the ground with the cutting. With the way the limbs look, I think I made a good decision to have it taken down, especially since it's only about six feet from the house.
Here are two photos, one as they were getting started this morning, the other is what it looked like at the end of the day. Tomorrow's photo should be of "where the tree used to be". I put a red box around the worker in the tree because he sort of blends in with the leaves. Gives you an idea of just how big this monster is.

Jennifer Akerman: Modern Day American Dream!

Jennifer's shoot was also inspired by lyrics from the Elton John song "Tiny Dancer" – "Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band, Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man".
Jennifer, 22, recently released the first track "Silent Killer" to her upcoming EP. Check it out now, it's available on iTunes!

Welcome to 2017!
This is the year that myself and Dan, along with so many others, GET MARRIED!!!!! I can't wait to see what this year has in store for us!
For now, I am sharing with you some of my favourite images that I took during my 2016 weddings! There have been so many amazing moments to capture throughout the course of the year: countless beautiful details, a multitude of emotional ceremonies and a huge abundance of happy couples! 2016 has been my best year of business yet and I can't want for even bigger and better things in 2017!
In September, I was super privileged to be asked to photograph my 'photography bestie' (Terri from Summer Lily Studio)'s wedding, which was a dream come true! When a photographer gets married, you know it's going to be beautiful and this was no exception!! I also visited Orlando with some of my best friends in the summer, and also began properly planning my wedding (sorry Dan 'ours')! You would think I would know exactly what I want for my own wedding, but I see so many beautiful weddings that I am super spoilt for ideas ;)
Thank you to all my amazing couples who booked me for their wedding in 2016, it was a pleasure sharing your special days with you and recording your memories for years to come. I have so many incredible couples booked in for 2017 and 2018 already and can't wait to capture your special days' soon! Bring on 2017!
But for now... sit back, pop your feet up and enjoy a look back at 2016 with me...

Ravens guard Kelechi Osemele isn't sure he'd be able to play a full game the way his Achilles injury has lingered this training camp.
Osemele, who has been in and out of practice since getting stepped on Aug. 5, is worried that he may not be 100 percent when the regular season begins Sept. 13 against Denver.
"If I had to play a game, it'd be tough," Osemele said via The Baltimore Sun. "I don't know. We'll see. It's definitely frustrating. I don't like seeing my teammates working and getting better and just sitting on the side. But we still have two, three weeks left before we get going. So I have some time to heal up, hopefully."
More from FoxSports
Osemele started in last Thursday's preseason opener against New Orleans, playing the opening 16-play drive before sitting out the rest of the game. He missed the ensuing four practices, however, due to soreness.
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh plans to err on the side of caution with Osemele with the hope that the injury doesn't linger into the season.
"It's a tough balance because I think we're going to err on the side of making sure he's ready to go," Harbaugh said. "We do that with everybody, really. K.O. can always use the reps. He and Eugene [Monroe] can definitely work together, but by the same token, you need him ready to go when you need him ready to go."

Beware: Prior Convictions May Not Stop an Ex-Con From Selling Gold Coins
Recently the Star Tribune reported that the gold coin industry is full of people who have been previously arrested and convicted for theft, fraud, writing bad checks, and are abusing drugs and alcohol. Although there are some ex-cons trying to run a clean shop and wanting to make an honest living, there are others who are looking to make a killing by conducting gold coin fraud scams.
The Star Tribune reported that there are dozens of people that have long rap sheets working in the industry for metro coin companies. Sadly, many coin companies still hire people who have been convicted over and over again for theft. What's frightening is that these people could be dealing with you and other clients without your knowledge.
Criminal records aren't that rare among many of these precious metal sellers. The Star Tribune investigated many workers in the industry and found at least six dozen workers that have been convicted of theft, forgery, fraud, and bank robbery. Since licensing isn't required and the industry isn't regulated, there is really no telling how many other individuals have backgrounds such as this and are handling people's life savings.
Although some companies run background checks on their employees, other companies do not believe in discriminating against ex-cons. The companies that hire ex-cons either have taken part in such crimes themselves, or they higher ex-cons because they believe ex-cons are highly motivated to make money since they have nowhere else to go.
Sadly, there are many shady salesmen in the gold coin industry that move from company to company with little problem, continuing to sell gold coins and commit gold coin fraud.
Some of these coin shops are being investigated by different state attorney general's offices for complaints of gold scams.
If you feel that you have been cheated out of your money, been a victim of gold coin fraud, received a different coin than promised, or have been promised an increase in value, you should contact your state attorney general's office and file a complaint with the FTC as well. Then, you should call an experienced Texas coin fraud lawyer at the Voss Law Firm today at 888-614-7730, for a free consultation.
Make sure to download a FREE copy of attorney Bill Voss's book: Coin Fraud - Is Your Investment At Risk, for more information on this subject.

'Person of Interest' 3.12 "Aletheia" Review
Before the brief holiday break,
Person of Interest
started to finally reveal the true origins of Harold Finch. We got to see him with his father, a kind farmer with an affinity for bird-watching, whose tragic mental decay led Harold to building the very first version of the Machine all the way back in 1979. It's these scenes, as well as the introduction of Harold's old MIT classmate and fellow tech wunderkind, Arthur Claypool, that truly illuminate the way Root has always viewed the Machine--a more than passable facsimile of humanity itself that could very well bring on an entirely new phase of science. If you think of the Machine as supergenius born in a lab with all the same abilities it has now but with a more traditional human form than it's easy to see why there are factions out there that want it eliminated and that want to take control of it for their own gain. Last night's episode, 'Aletheia' was essentially a clusterfuck of these forces coming together to try to take control of that which, as Root laughingly told Control, they could never even begin to understand.
I do wonder if this is the first time Harold has truly opened his eyes to think about what he's created in the context that Arthur and Root view it--actual human life with all of its quirks intact. This has always been one of my favorite things about
with the exception of Reese blowing things up. I do love when he blows things up. The show has never been afraid to tackle the big questions and it's part of why Person of Interest continues to stand out from the pack. Root gives herself over completely to the protection of 'her' and it's hard to doubt that things really are as the cracked hacker sees them. It also brings up an interesting question of how far these characters should have to go to ensure it. Root can certainly say that she's bled for her faith while Harold is allowed to escape true harm thanks to his protectors. Now that Root is once again in the wind, I wonder what it's going to mean for what the Machine has planned for her destiny--it's quite a show that makes you side with a psychopath but Root has more than proven her connection to the Machine is beyond skin-deep.
One of Finch's main protectors, John Reese, is understandably still reeling from the death of Joss Carter and it makes me wonder if he's truly given up on his job for good. Even though he and Fusco managed to save the day (don't think about the logistics of getting all the way from a Colorado jail cell to infiltrating the TAC team in the nick of time, just enjoy the spectacle of the reveal). Harold practically had tears in his eyes when he saw Reese's face again and really, the man has lost so much because of his creation that you can't blame him for desperately not wanting to go through it again. It feels authentic to me that John would be so disenchanted by Carter's death. HR is basically gone so of course he has to blame the only entity that also played a hand in things. Reese has yet to realize that just like people, the Machine is not perfect either and I wonder what new role he'll take on the show if not with Team Machine.
At least Shaw and Fusco will be there for Harold as the fight continues. Shaw and Fusco's back and forth is becoming one of the highlights of the series. What an odd couple but sometimes the best onscreen brotp's come from that. It's a great way to show that Shaw is more capable of feeling and caring than she gives herself credit for and a nice way to continue with Fusco's redeemed corrupt cop storyline. Despite the fact that Reese is all set to give up faith in everything around him, I think that 'she' will still have a plan for him in the long run. Perhaps Root will meet up with him and find a way to open his eyes to the awesome truth of Harold's 'child'. They've both been tested and Finch and co. are going to need all the help they can get now that the Machine's 'sibling' of sorts Samaritan is back on the scene.

2013 is on it's way.....how to heal a broken running spirit? and is there such a thing?
as much as I dread writing I thought I should get on here before everyone writes me off as dead, or just having walked off the face of the earth. I wish I had some software that I could just talk into and it would put it into text for me, b/c those who know me, know I can talk like nobody's business...especially about RUNNING! but writing?? errr...not so much. I'm lazy. really lazy with writing.
SO, what can I tell you? well, I had some surgery, not running related, don't worry but it required me to take 3wks off. So I did. I didn't think it would effect me TOO badly, but apparently the week before when I only ran twice didn't help my situation..prob more like 4wks off...and since I wasn't in very good shape before that I am REALLY feeling it. This feels worse than after taking 2mos off with each of my stress fractures.
Let me give you some examples so you empathize with me as I whine;)
I ran 4 times this week:
Monday-5miles. ugh. legs tired. just blah. FELT SORE the next day. yikes.
Wednesday-5miles on bark mulch/golf course....avg pace 9:40! no offence to anyone who runs that pace but for me, it is ridiculous. For you regular 9:40 pacers...it would be like running 11-12min miles...you wouldn't be too impressed about it right? and this 9:40 avg did NOT feel easy. just for the record. talk about a wake up call.
Thurs: 5 miles...a bit better..ran a good last mile
Sunday: 8 miles. felt like DEATH. Lungs didn't like me. legs didn't like me. I think someone put 20lb weights in each one of my running shoes:)
So there ya have it! first week back.
23 miles.
Oh..and ofcourse my calf issue I was having before flared up on day 1 of running again:)
I went to thai massage the other day and plan to keep on that and rolling myself at home, hoping ot keep it at bay.
Anyway...I'm really not upset about this...don't think i'm "down",...its more amusing than anything. I have a new found respect for the shape I was in last spring. I really should have appreciated THAT more, instead of always wanting to be faster and better. I was in GREAT shape.....20 milers at 8:00 pace and it felt EASY. aaahh..can't wait to get back there...BUT until then, trying to enjoy the journey.
So I have a little something silly to share....i've sort of talked about it before, but I wonder if any of you have experienced this. Don't roll your eyes.....
I think my "running spirit" is broken.....or at least Injured.
Now, I know we all have times when we're down...unmotivated.....have a couple rough weeks...but this is MORE than that. I am not being dramatic or exaggerating...this is really an issue.
Let me explain how I think this happened:
As I have mentioned before, (like 20 times), after having 2 stress fractures in 11 mos, I felt a bit broken.
Having put my heart and soul into Boston training, I was ready to show my stuff. though I should have been focussed on the journey, for me it was the DESTINATION....and I never got to go there....i never got to race, compete, show MYSELF and my family what all my hard work had accomplished. I never had closure on that training cycle.
when I started running again in June (2012) I decided to keep it EASY. I was SO afraid of risking injury again , I was OVERLY cautious. I took so long to even get up to 20 miles and then all summer stuck around 20-25 miles. by fall I finally tried to hit 30..it's only happened a few times....and as fall approached, I had one good 5k, followed by a whole lot of nothing. IN all this time, I had no mo-jo. the normal Nicole, will do anything, to a fault, to get her run in. I would get up despite fatique, sickness to run at teh butt crack of dawn if it was the only time I could do it.
Always charged...motivated to race, motivated to train....it all just sort of whithered away....gone.
I thought it would come back as I just continued to take it easy and rest but i realized as winter approached that It wasn't coming back and my fitness was disappearing before my eyes. discouraged....more out of shape than I was even back in the beginning of summer, I felt like poop.
Then, when I ran the 5K on thanksgiving and ran a 20:30 and realized that was the same time I ran 6wks back into running after 2mos off in July, I felt even MORE discouraged. I have made NO progress...and why should I have? I haven't done ANYTHING!
ugh, frustrated with myself, I threw around the idea of maybe just quitting running all together. for 2yrs i've dedicated to hitting some very important running goals and have ended up injured every time I get close to success. Why should I go on? why bother? I don't really run for fun...I run to feed that part of my spirit that needs to push, to accomplish, to progress........SO...I guess the 3wks off came at a good time...
but now hear I am.
I have decided to NOT quit running, for now;), and I am supposed to start training for the eugene half with Niki Raffie at the end of this month. let me note that YES I love to run and YES I want to run. I am not forcing myself to do something I don't want to...but i'd REALLY like to find that motivation and FIRE I always had before.
My question is...how do I fix this? and no the answer is not to stop running...that just won't work for me. I've taken enough breaks, I've taken 8mos of "easy"....I need to figure out how to find that Beastly self motivated ME that has always been there...i'm not sure where she's gone......
Ideas? thoughts?

Go to a competitive track meet or road race. You'll get the mojo back. As an example, I was at the Dempsey indoor meet this weekend and got some autographs from some elite athlethes. I also ran the 60m dash and got some good feedback on my technique. That will carry me all year.ReplyDelete
I think injury makes me want to run even more (I guess you take things for granted?).ReplyDelete
Watching Youtube videos of elites (even if they are not runners) makes me want to go out and push just a little bit harder.
Also signing up for a race helps as well.Replies
Lisa, why would u say that? I don't take I for granted at all.Delete

I don't know a sure way to fix a broken running spirit, but I am sorry you have one. I definitely think it's possible to have one and to fix it. Maybe sign up for a short race and that will help you remember what you love about racing. Maybe try a different type of race, like a short trail race.ReplyDelete

I barely know you but I would like to offer my thoughts for whatever it may be worth.ReplyDelete
I did the Nike Womens Marathon in the fall of 2010. That marathon is a benefit for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I have a family member who survived Leukemia and a best friend who lost her mother to complications of her Lymphoma treatments. I asked her to do this with me as a tribute to her mother. We became Team Verna.
I was prepared for the grueling training schedule and the sore body. I was ready to push myself to the brink and back. I was not ready for this to be a life changing experience. I was completely unprepared for the overwhelming emotional journey that NWM takes you on. Wearing that purple jersey is so humbling I could break into tears just thinking about the experience. My point is--If you are digging deep and struggling, have you thought about doing it for someone else? Taking the pressure off yourself and giving it over to something else? A charity marathon might be something to get you over the slump. I can tell you that watching the sunrise over the Golden Gate Bridge at mile 6 is breathtaking...
But the moments of true awe come from the thousands of cancer survivors and family members who stand on the side lines to offer their thanks, appreciation, high-fives, and encouragements. I have never stood in such grace. There are many charity races out there...maybe you've already done one. I'm not saying this is your solution but just an example of getting outside of your own head. For me finding something that made me feel like a very small piece of the puzzle gave me more than I could of ever given myself.
The clincher: February of 2011. I am in the best shape of my life after the huge marathon push. I go to the gym every morning at 4:45AM. I am thrilled with my physical being! On the 26th I broke my arm in a very silly accident. I broke my arm so badly that not only did I have reconstructive surgery but I almost lost my shoulder. I barely escaped having to replace it. So this meant- 2 months in a recliner, 6 months of physical therapy, 9 months of no physical exertion (no more than 1 pound lifted) until my bone had fully fused at the reconstruction site. What else did this mean? I gained 30 pounds for all that lack of activity. I should say lost 30 pounds of muscle really. I was afraid for a long time to do anything. I still favor that arm even though its probably like The Terminator now for all the screws and plates. I still haven't gotten back in shape and I don't go to the gym anymore. I know that when I'm ready I will. It may be 5 years before I see another finish line but I wouldn't change a thing. Life happens and we do the best we can. Cut yourself some slack and be kind to your body. From a girl who has seen the glory of the finish line and the heart break of injury.
~Listen to your heart, it knows what it wants.
have you thought about signing up for a fun race? like a color run or warrior dash or something like that? races seems to provide the motivation/desire/fun for me!ReplyDelete

Probably there is a countless number of Easter cake recipes. Every family has its own, best of the best recipe. And each one is good in their own way.
My favorite recipe is the one I developed, based on the famous French bread brioche.
The bread turns out very fluffy, light, and silky. It has a pleasantly pale yellow color, and, thanks to the butter, it melts in your mouth. Aromas from vanilla and cardamom complete this wonderful taste.
I like to bake medium and small size breads in ramekins. It gives me a chance to decorate each cake in a different way: with glaze, nuts, jeweled dry and candied fruits, dusted with baking powder or sprinkled with bright colored sugar. It is such a fun!
Soufflé dishes, ramekins, panettone paper molds, some pots or even empty cans from beans and coffee canisters will work for baking a kulich.
Russian Easter Bread Kulich
2 large or 1 large and 3-4 small breads
- ½ cup warm milk
- 2 tsp dry yeast
- 3 1/ 2 cup flour
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 5 eggs
- 2 sticks butter
- 1-2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ – 1 tsp ground cardamom (optional)
- 1 tsp – 1 tbsp grated citrus zest (lemon or orange)
- 1 – 1 ½ cups mixture of light and dark raisins, candied fruit, chopped nuts, dry fruits, chocolate chips)
For the icing:
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk, lemon juice or water (maybe a little less – a little more. It depends on the powdered sugar and the liquid used)
Butter the molds generously. Put a piece of a greased parchment paper on the bottom of the form.
In a mixer bowl, mix ½ cup of the flour and yeast, add the warm milk and lightly beat. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand for about 20-30 minutes.
Add the eggs and vanilla to the yeast mixture. Beat until smooth.
In a bowl, combine the remaining flour, sugar, salt, citrus zest and cardamom (if using). Add this mixture into the yeast mixture. Beat until smooth. Allow to stand for about 5 minutes.
In four steps, add the melted butter, mixing well after each step (medium speed). It takes a few minutes.
Then, mix the dough for approximately 5-7 minutes on a medium speed.
Stir in the raisins, candied fruits and nuts.
Fill 1 /3 of the forms with the dough. Cover with a kitchen towel or a plastic wrap and let stand for about 1 – 1 ½ hours. Proofing time depends on the room temperature.
The dough should triple in size.
Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C) for large bread and 375-400 F (175-200 C) for small ramekins.
Bake the kulich for 35-40 minutes for large and for 15 minutes for small breads.
Remove from the oven, let stand for 5 minutes, remove from the form on the cooling rack.
Cool completely.
Decorate with icing, dry fruits, nuts, etc.
For the icing:
In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar and add the liquid (milk, water, lemon juice) until thick. Gently pour on the kulich, starting from the center.
Immediately sprinkle with colored sugar, dry fruits, nuts, etc.
- Tip :
If you want your cake literally melt in your mouth, take 3 sticks of butter.
Cook with pleasure!

Author Joan Didion is featured in the new ad campaign for Celine.
80-year-old Joan Didion is the new face of Céline.
Market research has demonstrated that older people, particularly women, particularly women with serious money to spend, respond more favorably to advertisements that show models of their own age. There have been baby steps toward the older crowd among jewelry marketers, but Céline has pushed the bar in announcing that their new "face" is the 80-year-old mug of literary icon Joan Didion. The first ad shows Didion wearing enormous Céline sunglasses that do not quite conceal an ironically raised eyebrow. As noted by Forbes, Didion is part of a group of women of a certain age currently fronting fashion brands, including Joni Mitchell (71) for Yves Saint Laurent and Jessica Lange (64) for Marc Jacobs.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 30, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Shareholders Foundation, Inc. announces that an investor, who currently holds shares of WCI Communities Inc (NYSE:WCIC), filed a lawsuit in Florida against the proposed acquisition of WCI Communities Inc by Lennar Corporation for $23.50 per share.
Investors, who purchased shares of WCI Communities Inc (NYSE:WCIC) prior to September 22, 2016, and currently hold any of those (NYSE:WCIC) shares, have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation, Inc. at email@example.com or call +1 (858) 779 - 1554.
The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to (NYSE:WCIC) stockholders by agreeing to sell WCI Communities Inc too cheaply via an unfair process.
On Sept. 22, 2016, WCI Communities Inc (NYSE:WCIC) announced the signing of a merger agreement under which Lennar Corporation (NYSE:LEN) and (NYSE:LEN.B) has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of WCI Communities Inc (NYSE:WCIC) common stock in a cash and stock transaction valued at $23.50 per (NYSE:WCIC) share.
However, the plaintiff claims that the proposed consideration (NYSE:WCIC) shareholders will receive is grossly inadequate and undervalues WCI Communities Inc. The plaintiff alleges that key information was left out of documents filed with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the deal. In addition, the plaintiff claims that the process is also unfair to (NYSE:WCIC) stockholders. The plaintiff says that the defendants agreed to preclusive deal protection devices, such as limited and inadequate post-signing go-shop period, a matching rights, and a $22.5 million termination fee that deter other bidders from making a superior offer.
Those who currently hold WCI Communities Inc (NYSE:WCIC) shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation, Inc. at email@example.com or call +1 (858) 779 - 1554.

First, cities are called cities, because they are big and there are a lot of people. Cities take a big territory, which caused people to have vehicles to drive between long distances: such as home, school, job and etc. Try to imagine cities like New York, Washington, Tokyo and even Almaty. How human beings will reach their distinctions, if there are not any vehicle in such places. It will take a lot of time and force. Besides, cars are necessary to cities, to be called city. A city should have advertisements, supermarkets, theaters, clubs, cinemas, also hospitals, prisons, which caused having a big territory. If cities will not have cars, they have to decrease their territory. However, with small territory cities must be called villages. So, why do not say that cities are for cars, too.
Second, Pro claims that cities for people not for cars, while he suggests to build other transportation. He contradicts to himself. If people build new transportation, it means vehicle will be in cities again. That means cars are necessary for people to live in big cities, especially in the 21st century.
But, about the current topic, I would like to say that cities are for cars, too, as people need cars in cities to get long distances. If we claim that cities not for cars and destroy all vehicles, people will not be able to go from one side of the city to another. So, I am against the statement that cities are not for cars.
Second, I agree with Pro that humans should invent new transportation that are not harmful for our environment. But it definitely does not mean that all cars should be destroyed. Just a second, imagine, there will not be any kinds of cars in big cities. What will happen for people? Honestly, before this time I have been confident to destroy cars and ride only bicycle. But I have understood that cars are important in our daily life, now. Think a bit, a person is bleeding and a doctor is riding bicycle to come and help to the patient from another side of city. How much time will pass till the doctor achieve the patient? What will happen to the patient during this time? It means cars are necessary in such situations.
To conclude, I would like to say that cities are really big, so they are for cars. Moreover, cities were for cars, cities are for cars and cities will be for cars, but, I hope, for less harmful cars.

This work is a narrative of the cheap, depressing and socially oppressive entertainment to which we are subjected on a daily basis; magenta gossip magazines with tangerine faces, cruel and banal talent shows with judges who know very little about nothing. It is intended to evoke a feeling of plasticity and the damaging effects of normalisation that pop culture unashamably promotes; it may be a bold statement, but it is Millais 'Ophelia' thrown into the stench and noise of the 'Folies Bergere', or a smokeless market town pub. The hammer is glass and the seemingly fragile egg is perched on an iron plinth bolted to the floor. The judges and baying 'thumbs down' audience in the amphitheatre are safe in the background, obscured by the blue-violet studio lights. The contestant, in almost all his glory looks questioningly, to you the viewer as he contemplates his final act of humility.

I know I complain about it every single day, but let's face it my daily commute takes a two hour chunk out of my day and I kind of expect it to go smoothly most of the time.
However, I do know that not everything can run 100% according to plan, but it would be nice just once if there was a week when the British Rail Network can run efficiently with no cancellations delays. This would obviously be impossible as every single day for the past 3 weeks my Southern services to and from East Croydon have been at least 5 minutes delayed.
I don't even understand how a train can be delayed at 7.30 in the morning or on a 15 minute journey from London Bridge or London Victoria, but now I'm convinced that it's due to some magical force, warlock or pixie dust because something is very wrong.
I must admit now that since my journey has changed in the past couple of months so that I now alight and join services at East Croydon that I haven't really been faced with a serious delay. However, when it was a jolly old trip up to Victoria every day, it became painful. Maybe broken down trains cannot be helped, but it seems to happen a disproportionate amount of times in a month Southern Rail doesn't it.
In August it took me a record of 2 hours 20 minutes to get from Victoria to Three Bridges, that's London to Crawley. A journey that takes 40 minutes on the train, about the same driving and would have been quicker if I crawled home through Purley Oaks. The problem? Someone has sat on the tracks and refused to move. Why is this sort of thing not addressed by the Rail Network, it happens all the time. There needs to be more of a deterrent that other companies running a service that costs its customers thousands of pounds a year would have thought about.
I know trespassers on the line is not entirely Southern's fault, but what is their fault is their blatant failing in customer service. Meet the directors at Victoria on a Monday morning at 9am? I would if I didn't have to be at the bloody office. Do it at 5.30pm when I wouldn't mind just getting the next train in order to put the world to rights. It would also be nice if staff recognised that all season tickets stopped working after the first week of having them and stop asking me to put my ticket through the barriers when I have already said it doesn't work. (Mind you this is only at East Croydon, the staff at Three Bridges on the gate are lovely).
I pay an extortionate amount of money every month to use the trains, but they haven't been on time for ages, I frequently have to stand and I will always be faced with the token passenger with an extreme case of BO. If Southern's trains are consistently 5 minutes late, why don't they just change the timetable?
However, Southern's biggest failing is their inability to interact with their customers and take their points on board. Whenever a story is published in the press it is usually followed by a huge amount of comments slating the service and there is no online presence of any kind which would help in quickly alerting customers to problems. The website doesn't cut it as the service info won't load on a BlackBerry.
In recent weeks @Southern_Trains has emerged on Twitter, along the same premise as BP Global PR but on a smaller scale, and has highlighted just how many disgruntled Southern customers are out there. I thought First Capital Connect had a bunch of unhappy commuters, but that's nothing it you see the tweets that are retweeted by Southern's Twitter "PR" service. As a marketing professional I can tell you the fact that Southern haven't tried to establish their own presence or attempt to get to grips with complaints online pathetic. They should know about these grievances and set about trying to correct them or at least provide their customers information on why they are being rubbish. A little goes a long way.
There you go, this is one of the worst cases of ignoring social media and your customers I have encountered yet, but for now I will continue to enjoy the rants highlighted by @Southern_Trains and their sterling sarcastic "public service announcements" which brighten my day.

Adventist Hinsdale Hospital
Engage WFO provides intensive care for healthcare call centers.
Adventist Hinsdale Hospital offers a full range of services from acute care and obstetrics to cardiac and emergency care. It is committed to providing excellence in patient care to the communities served.
"We put Engage WFO in our call center, implemented full call recording, and had the center in shape in less than two months. It's been wonderful. We're very happy!"
Lynne Ho, Telephone Systems Manager
The Enterprise
Founded on Seventh-day Adventist health values, Adventist Health is a faith-based, not-for- profit, integrated healthcare delivery system headquartered in Roseville, California.
Working in 19 hospitals and 280 clinics, 28,600 employees provide care in communities throughout California, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington.
The Challenge
Hinsdale Hospital in Hinsdale, Illinois, was in a bind. The quality monitoring capability of their call center's existing call recording solution was proving inflexible. And, storing the thousands of recorded customer service interactions required extensive physical space.
The Solution
Consequently, Hinsdale decided to work with Southwestern Bell Communications, the hospital's telecommunications provider, to assess the capabilities of several of voice recording and quality management solutions that could meet the hospital's call recording, service quality assurance needs, regulatory compliance, and budget requirements.
They concluded that TelStrat's Engage WFO call recording, with its flexible monitoring alternatives, extensive recording options, and DVD storage of archived calls would best meet Hinsdale's needs.
Engage WFO gives Hinsdale's Telephone Systems Department the quality management, coaching, and learning tools they need to effectively and efficiently provide appropriate contact handling skills training to the hospital's contact center agents and to evaluate ongoing performance.
Adventist Health was converting from Nortel digital to Cisco IP phones and decided to use Engage in this hybrid environment to support the needs of several regional hospitals, each with independent phone systems while recording all calls to a centralized Engage solution.
The Results
Hinsdale now uses Engage Quality for monitoring Quality of Service and determining merit raises for agents.
Engage WFO also is enabling the hospital to record and monitor calls coming in on its main number, its information desks, as well as to what Ms. Ho refers to as "overall help-me locations." As she explains, "If someone gets wrong information, they say, 'Well, the operator said so.' By using Engage WFO we can to quickly determine where that call went in the hospital. This capability has made it much easier to improve our customer service quality by enabling us to promptly find and correct sources of incorrect information."
Improved contact center management through implementing Engage WFO has optimized call handling at Hinsdale Hospital, bringing greater efficiency, better customer service, and increased success.
The Benefits
- Improved service with enhanced QA and coaching
- Liability risk reduction with 100% recording
- HIPAA compliance with desktop analytics and encryption

News: Kuriya Japanese Market & Ichiban Boshi – Hot New Japanese Fare at Great World City
Drool worthy news to me and fellow casual Japanese dining foodies 😀
Favorite local Japanese restaurants Kuriya Japanese Market and Ichiban Boshi and are back in business following outlet face-lifts and menu makeovers. While retaining its fresh fish focus, Kuriya Japanese Market has been transformed based on the 'modern uoichiba (fish market)' concept with great creativity and originality.
New features include a hot snack kiosk offering pumpkin croquettes, ebi fry, salmon teriyaki & saba shioyaki with prices range from S$1.80 to S$7.80. And also located within the market is a new bakery corner, serving fresh, delectable bakery items produced by sister brand, Green Pumpkin.
To celebrate its opening, Kuriya Japanese Market is offering a special deal on Aurora Salmon available on Fri/Sat/Sun (now until 28 September 2014). Kuriya Japanese Market chefs have created a list of special takeaway items with this fresh Aurora Salmon, including Yuzu Tsuke Salmon (S$6.50), Sasa Oshizushi (S$4.90), Toro Taku Sushi (S$10.90) and Chirashi Cup (S$9.90).
Ichiban Boshi welcomes casual diners with a fresh new makeover and menu featuring a variety of moderately priced items such as Tokusen Aburi Sushi (S$19.90), Ichiban Gozen (S$25.90) and Tokusen Kaisen Don (S$20.90).
As each Ichiban Boshi restaurant is slightly different from the others with special focus on items, the specialty at the Great World City outlet is sakana (fish). Fresh seafood is imported directly from Japan thrice a week from Osaka. High-quality Japanese fish such as Ayu Shioyaki (S$14.90), Buri Toro Sashimi (S$13.90), Aji Zanmai (S$29.90) and Kodai Kara Miso Hoiru (SS22.90) are all features of the menu. In addition, diners can enjoy the Aurora Salmon Gozen at just $29.90.
Available only on Fri/Sat/Sun from 15 Aug till end Sept, an all-salmon set meal features udon with salmon in soup, grilled salmon with cod roe mayonnaise, salmon sashimi in yukke (a spicy Korean-style sauce with sesame oil) and assorted salmon sushi.
And for the restaurant's details:
Kuriya Japanese Market and Ichiban Boshi
Located at #B1-07, Great World City, 1 Kim Seng Promenade, Singapore 237994.
Opening hours Monday – Saturday
11.30am –10pm and Sunday, 11am – 10pm.
For more information:
http://www.kuriyafishmarket.com.sg/ & http://www.ichibanboshi.com.sg/
Information and visuals as kindly shared by RE&S.
Browsing through the press release photos, I can't help but feel super hungry and salivating even when I just had lunch.
For food critics, sure it wouldn't be like having a meal at Tsukiji Fish Market but as long as it's fresh seafood flown in from Japan, I would give it a try.
After all, it's one of the few casual Japanese dining restaurants near home and work, for a good and quick meal 😀
But I guess when the fiance see this (planned post), we would find time to go GWC for some o-nom-nom session.

Nafzger reserving judgment on Belterra
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - For a man who gets close to his horses, this has been a tough year for veteran trainer Carl Nafzger.
Nafzger not only endured the death of his 1998 champion filly, Banshee Breeze, early this year, but also was deeply saddened by the death last month of Unbridled, the great racehorse and stallion who helped Nafzger win his only Eclipse Award as top trainer by capturing the Kentucky Derby and Breeders' Cup Classic in 1990.
The temptation, then, is for Nafzger to go looking to quickly fill the void. The temptation is for him to begin believing that Belterra, a 2-year-old Unbridled filly who has been sensational in winning her first two starts, is the salve for his emotional wounds.
Not so fast, he says.
"I'd like for her to be the one," said Nafzger. "But right now it's too early. She's a good filly, but I wouldn't want to put that kind of pressure on her. When you're talking about those other two horses, you're talking champions. Those are some awfully big shoes to step into."
Nevertheless, Nafzger obviously is hoping that Belterra will begin to fill those shoes Saturday when she puts her unbeaten record on the line in the 58th running of the $200,000, Grade 2 Golden Rod Stakes. Belterra, a winner of a Keeneland maiden race and a Churchill allowance race in her only two starts, could be a slight favorite over the more experienced Take Charge Lady in a field of six 2-year-old fillies.
Nafzger believes that Take Charge Lady, winner of the Alcibiades Stakes and sixth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies in her last start for trainer Ken McPeek, should provide a fair gauge as to what kind of future Belterra has.
"Any time a horse wins two in a row from my barn to start their career, the chances are that the horse is going to be a real nice one," he said. "But we're hooking experience Saturday in Kenny's filly, and we're also trying two turns for the first time. Yes, she's been fabulous so far, but this is a new level we're trying Saturday."
Belterra, a Maryland-bred owned by Bob Manfuso, will start from post 6 when ridden by Jon Court in the 1 1/16-mile Golden Rod, which often is a precursor to some of the major races in the division next winter and spring.
Meanwhile, Take Charge Lady drew post 1 with regular rider Tony D'Amico.
"She's training great, but the trip up and back to New York has me a little concerned," said McPeek. "Don't get me wrong - this is a special filly. But if there's anything I can say that does concern me, it's how much we've asked her to do so far. She'll definitely get a little time after this."
Besides the two standout favorites, the Golden Rod also will be contested by Lotta Rhythm, who upset a solid field in the one-mile Pocahontas Stakes here Nov. 3.
"This should tell us something about her," said trainer Hal Wiggins.
The other starters are Literary Light, a recent maiden winner here for Tony Reinstedler; Born to Dance, who has been dominating far lesser company in Michigan-bred races; and Wild Kandace, a maiden winner at Keeneland for trainer Andrew McKeever.
Among the fillies who took a pass on the Golden Rod after having been listed as possible starters were Bema and Joanies Bella.
* Nafzger already is in Florida for the winter. "What good am I going to do there Saturday?" he asked, adding that his longtime assistant, Ian Wilkes, "can take care of everything. I'd probably only mess things up." Nafzger will be based again in Barn 7 at Gulfstream Park, where some of his horses already have arrived.
* Laurie Bale, a longtime friend of Sam Maple, sent out a lengthy e-mail to her friends in the racing industry following Maple's death earlier this month at age 48.
Bale, who was befriended by Maple at a young age, ended her letter with a story of how Maple took her to a ninth-grade dance in her hometown of Omaha, Neb., where Maple was a riding star at Ak-Sar-Ben.
"Quite frankly," she wrote, "I can't think of too many famous athletes who would subject themselves to [going to] a dance on the arm of a young girl in a wheelchair, but Sam did. And he showed up on my doorstep with a corsage. That was Sam. He always wanted to make people happy."
* Island Echo ($14) led all the way to win the Wednesday feature, a $58,500 allowance. The victory was her second straight in a turf sprint this meet for trainer Bill Mott.
"It looks like she's found her way," said Mott assistant Ralph Nicks.
* Pat Day, who midway through the Thursday card appeared highly likely to win yet another Churchill riding title, will not be here Saturday. Day will be active in New York, with his mounts including Illusioned in the Grade 1 Cigar Mile.
* Action on the Kentucky circuit shifts Sunday to Turfway Park in Florence, where racing will be conducted Wednesdays through Sundays during the holiday meet, which runs through Dec. 31. The three-month winter-spring meet begins Jan. 1 with a varied schedule.
The first stakes of the meet is the Holiday Inaugural on Dec. 1.

Re: Alexander Abernathy, 1820 Burke Co., NC
Elizabeth Ferguson 3/16/11
I did find Rachel b. 1785 on the 1850 census living with the McElrath family but I dont see her in 1870. Is she misspelled on the census in 1870?
Also Smith Abernathy is on same census page as Older and younger Alexander Abernathy in 1850. They are all living nextdoor to each other.Did Alexander leave a will or estate record ??? The Sherill's are on same census page too
