Burial in Poets' Corner in the South Transept of Westminster Abbey is the greatest accolade this country can bestow upon any literary or artistic figure. Chaucer is buried there, as are Dickens, Dryden and Kipling. There are memorials to Shakespeare, Milton and Trollope. There is little room left for interments, which is why the last was of the ashes of Lord Olivier, 20 years ago. But Seamus Heaney wants his great friend Ted Hughes to join this illustrious company with a plaque to honour his memory and achievements. Heaney described Hughes, who held the poet laureateship with distinction until his death in 1998, as "a guardian spirit of the land and language". A poet of rare genius and insight, Hughes deserves a place alongside the immortals of English literature.

Following the Paris attacks, one man in the French capital gave a poignant rendition of John Lennon's 'Imagine' outside the Bataclan concert hall.
Yesterday, the UK capital got its own musical tribute as a violinist played two mournful songs for the thousands of people gathered at Trafalgar Square for the central London vigil, in memory of the victims of the shootings and bombings across Paris, which left at least 127 people dead.
The young man, believed to be musician Bar Markovich, walked into the centre of the crowd, took out his violin and played two pieces of music which visibly moved all of those gathered at the vigil.
This guy turned up at the Trafalgar Square solidarity gathering and silenced thousands of people. I have no words pic.twitter.com/woCw06ct7N
— Zoe Scholes (@ScholesZoe) November 14, 2015
The incredible video of the moment was shared on social media by Zoe Scholes, who added how the man silenced the thousands of people gathered at the memorial service just with his violin.
Soon, mourners had taken out their mobile phones, switched on the flashlights and held them aloft, which made for a powerful scene.
After playing the two songs, the man packed up his violin, shouted "Vive la France" and disappeared back into the crowd. What a beautiful moment.

Here's what a former Chapel Hill mayor says the town should do about UNC's Confederate statue, Silent Sam
I had this idea a few months ago and planned to take it as a petition to the Chapel Hill Town Council when they returned in September, but maybe we should get movement on this now.
Instead of the hand wringing and statute citing currently being engaged in by UNC in response to concerns about the Silent Sam confederate memorial statue, why aren't we employing a little more creativity?
Town property exists just across the street from where that block of granite and metal stand. We call that place Peace and Justice Plaza. I propose that the town erect on that property, near or on the corner of Franklin and Henderson, a display explaining and condemning the memorial that sits just a few hundred feet away.
A permanent display, one that we hope will outlive Sam, could be commissioned by the Downtown Partnership thereby providing a vehicle through which UNC could partially or fully pay for the display (the Town and UNC are the "partners" referenced in organization's name). Language for the display could be something like:
"A few hundred feet to the south stands/stood UNC's confederate memorial. It was raised during the height of the Jim Crow era, a time when the KKK was being invited to film screenings in the White House and after former generals and their sons who had rebelled against our country had regained political control of the southern states. A vivid and gleeful description of oppressive and violent acts against African Americans were spoken by community leaders at its dedication. The Town of Chapel Hill rejects the spirit with which it was erected and what it stands for. Such lessons of history belong in museums lest we forget how past revisionist regained a narrative that justified subjugation of African Americans for more than 100 years after the end of the Civil War. Unfortunately, current NC law prevents the lawful removal of the statue.
Public Works could fabricate a temporary display in the town's sign shop until a more permanent one is commissioned allowing this message to be erected in short order.
Mark Kleinscmidt is a former mayor of Chapel Hill. This column appeared on his Facebook post and is published here with his permission.

The final prompt in this chapter about dreaming and visioning is Visions of Myself.
I look at the prompt now and wonder how I got to where I ended up with this page! Then I go back to the questions that go with the prompt. The part that led to this page goes like this:
We have a clear picture in our minds of ourselves, but unfortunately that picture is often distorted by self-talk, doubts, fears and personal mythologies. Interrogate these visions of yourself to see if they hold up to scrutiny. Stop getting in your own way, and start visualising yourself living the life you dream about.How often do we get in our own way? We talk ourselves out of our dreams; pussy-foot around, worried about failing; underestimate what we are capable of.
But I am coming to realise this: it is better to try and fail than to fail to try.
Where are you going to get out of your own way this year?

I was going about my morning housework - making beds, putting away laundry, generally straightening up. I noticed that both children's dressers are becoming cluttered, and dusty. We're pretty mindful of "stuff" in this house, trying to teach them that stuff isn't as important as experiences, or relationships. But realistically, it's hard enough for adults to understand this. Children have even more trouble. So they collect items and keep them in shoeboxes and bins in their rooms and in the family room. They also keep collections on their dressers. Their father and I do too.
The items on our dressers represent us: wristwatches and hairbrushes, pens and knives, toys and jewelry. Some of us are neater than others; some of us like things a bit austere. The LB stores his current pajamas on the dresser top, the GB collects Chapstick like it's going out of style. I can't remember to put my jewelry away when I take it off. The Bear needs to put his calligraphy pens in his desk. I hadn't paid much attention to our dresser clutter before but it was interesting. We're a family, but we're distinct. We have our own things, symbols of ourselves - who we are, what we care about. Our dressers are our own spaces. We brush our hair, we choose jewelry, we load our pockets in the morning and empty them again at night.
What do you keep on your dresser? What do your family members keep on theirs?

AMD Ups the Ante With Latest Dragon Platform
The most attention will likely be paid to the new high-end Phenom II: the X4 955 Black Edition, which will run at 3.2 GHz but is an unlocked part, meaning it is designed to be overclocked. In addition, there's a new X4 945, which is locked at 3.0 GHz. Both parts support both DDR2 and DDR3 memory (unlike the previous Phenom IIs, which were DDR2-only parts.) Both have four cores and 8MB of cache, and use AMD's AM3 socket. The 955 has a suggested price of $245, with the 945 at $225.
Along with the new chips are enhancements specifically aimed at overclockers, including a new version of its Overdrive software that comes with memory profiles pretuned for popular memory kits, support for DDR3 memory; "smart profiles" for tuning performance for specific applications, and support for Windows 7. Indeed, AMD says one enthusiast got the part to run at 6.5 GHz, using liquid helium cooling, although that's not realistic for most of us.
AMD's marketing materials note that the 955 has a lower cost than either Intel's Core 2 Quad 9550 or its Core i7. Not surprisingly, AMD has benchmarks showing its parts are faster. Of course, your mileage may vary, and my benchmarks have generally shown advantages to the Intel chips for things like high-end spreadsheets. (Here's a test with the earlier Phenom II X4; I haven't gotten my hands on a 955 yet.)
AMD's own benchmarks say the Core i7 is faster for HD rendering, but the company says that kind of application is migrating to GPU computing. (I love the theory, but note that to date, most of the products that do this support Nvidia, thought I expect more from ATI soon.)
Indeed the graphics are an integral part of AMD's "Fusion" strategy, and the Dragon platform now has the ATI Radeon 4890 Graphics announced recently. (Here's ExtremeTech's review of that card, and the latest Nvidia offering.)
In general, the new chips and the new Dragon platform are squarely aimed at enthusiasts--typically, gamers who want the freedom to upgrade frequently and to tweak their own hardware. AMD's systems tend to use the same sockets for a longer period of time than Intel's; and often their chips are less expensive. The new Phenom IIs and updated Dragon platform are mostly being minor enhancements, not a huge breakthrough; but they should help keep AMD in the game.

Product SEN-09623 about 9 years ago
I just got my Razor working with the XBee Explorer. I was having trouble getting the baud rate correct. I found that I was setting the board to the wrong type. I have the 328 and the correct board setting (Tools/Board) is "Arduino Pro or Pro Mini(3.3v, 8 MHz)w/ ATmega328". It works with the baud rate set to 115200 with the Python display code. I also did have to change the baud rate in the python code.
Product DEV-08603 about 10 years ago
I am having the same issue as LVicente is having where I updated to the zip file version of FW.SFE and the display stops working however it still plays MP3's. I also noticed the the PCB is slightly different from the User Manual Figure 1. The most notable difference is the programming header moved and the debug header has been removed. I was hoping there would be a firmware update on this site.
No public wish lists :(

This includes bold blue banquettes, exposed brickwork, sketches on the walls and warm wood panelling evoking a sense of the modern British seaside. The take-away area is separated from the main restaurant, allowing an increased level of ambience and service.
Owned by classically trained chef Saul Reuben (previously of OXO Tower and Racine) and entrepreneur Nick Crossley, Kerbisher & Malt operates under the mantra of sourcing sustainable and fresh produce. As such, all food is freshly prepared in an attempt to separate the brand from the stereotypical' neon lighting and soggy packaging' fish and chip shop.

Since the days are getting longer this shot felt right. I took this in either the Grand Tetons or Yellowstone. At that time of the morning, it's hard to recall.Read More
2011 June Wallpaper
Got back late last night from Lincoln Spring Nationals. In honor of being in a car for almost 24 hours coming back I present this road shot from WyomingRead More
Wyoming: Part 3
15 Hours
That's about how long it takes, including photo stops and lunch, to work your way through Grand Teton and then loop around Yellowstone, clockwise. We were up at 4:30. No coffee until we hit Signal Mountain around 7:00. Actually, make that exactly 7:00. We arrived as the store clerk did. But the morning hours are worth it, being out before the day's gotten too old, you get better light (unless you're lucky and storm rolls in) and a better shot at seeing critters.
And the early legwork did pay off for those shots at Jenny Lake. They're included in the gallery below which is what the 15 hours on the road netted. It was a good trip. Saw a lot, but it still felt a bit like a rushed greatest hits tour.
Maybe go back one day and spend a bit more time in Yellowstone.
09 March 2013 Edit: With the site move, all of the shots from this trip are right here.
Wyoming: Part 1
Weddings and Recon
Earlier this month we found ourselves heading to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. In a word it was a fantastic trip. That's more than one word, but you get the point. Laura had never seen Yellowstone. I'd been once, but I was a kid. Maybe eight years old. I think I was younger to be honest so, I don't know if that counts. Actually, it probably does. But more on that later.
The occasion for us to go was for Mona and Will's wedding. Mona and Laura have been pals since seventh grade in Kuwait. Lots of history there. So the decision to go was easy. Destination wedding here we come.
With the Grand Tetons in the background, the wedding was going to be amazing and it was. A simple, elegant service. Before a stream with a small group of friends and family.
After the wedding, we get to the reception back at Teton Village and after a little R&R Laura and I set out to check out the area. Grand Teton National Park was all around us. On the recommendation of a friend we set out to find Jenny Lake.
Before I get too far into this, I should say that it is firmly my belief that the last thing the world needs is another landscape photographer. More specifically, the last thing the world needs is for me to be another landscape photographer. Landscape photography takes saint-esque patience. Being willing to go back to the same spot over and over, day after day. Waiting to see the hand the weather deals you.
I'm not that guy.
I don't have that patience. To be up and out before you can get a good cup of coffee. Not me. Not it.
For the storytelling I want to work toward, the landscape can be a vital part. It's the frame the story takes place within. For me, on it's own, the landscape isn't enough. Having said all that, with the time we had—with so much to see—this is the story I can tell. A whirlwind of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.
Don't get me wrong. It's easy to get caught up in the idea of adventure associated with landscape photography. The brilliant mornings. The idea of dragging your gear out to your Jeep. Or your Land Rover Defender. But it doesn't work that way.
We were driving a Yaris.
That makes it sound like we didn't like it. Or that we had issues with the car, but to be honest, had it been a stick instead of an automatic, it'd actually have been a pretty entertaining little ride. Enough with the car talk before I have to add a motorsports warning on this post.
So there we were, looking for Jenny Lake. It's about eight o'clock, an hour to go before sunset. The sky is cloudless, the light is to bright. To harsh to get much of anything worth while. So we decide to call it a reconnaissance trip. To find out where stuff is. That way, when the light is good, there's no fumbling around looking for some place to go take pictures.
You know, so we have a plan.
After about a half hour we head back to Jenny Lake via the scenic route. Grab the camera and hike down from the overlook to the waters edge. And wait. The sun is setting right behind the Cathedral Group. It should be spectacular in any minute.
Ten go by. Still. Nothing really going on yet. I get bored. Climb out and stand on some rocks and find a perspective I like better. Still nothing. . . truly spectacular. I fall back on my old friend textures and grab a shot of the stones around me. Just under the water.
We're getting hungry. So we throw in the towel, leaving with few photos, but with a plan.
Grab a late dinner at the Mangy Moose and call it a night since we have a big day of rafting ahead of us.

Graham Lynch Interview
Graham Lynch Interview
Posted on 05 November 2009. © Copyright 2004-2019 Composition:Today
C:T talks to composer Graham Lynch, whose CD Undiscovered Islands was recently released on the Priory label.

Night Garden - for piano. Mark Tanner
Wave Break - for piano. Mark Tanner.
Milonga Azure - for tango quintet. Tango Volcano.
Tell us something about your background.
If you mean in terms of musical training, then it�s been fairly diverse. Alongside having piano lessons I played keyboards in rock and jazz rock bands as a teenager, and then decided to go and study music. I spent about six years as a full time music student, finally getting a PhD in composition at Kings College in London, having studied with David Lumsdaine and Silvina Milstein. I was also at the Royal College for a year with Jeremy Dale Roberts, and for a couple of years had private lessons with Oliver Knussen. Since then I�ve also got into a lot of non classical musical styles, I think that it�s good to see how people approach music in different parts of the world.
How did you start composing?
For me it was one of those �Road to Damascus� moments. I�d dropped out of school after failing most of my O Levels (didn�t pay any attention at school!) and worked for a couple of years in offices, whilst continuing to play piano. I was having jazz piano lessons in London at the time and my teacher was also a composer. One day I sat down and wrote a piece for piano and immediately realised that this was what I wanted to do, it really clicked for me. After I played the piece to my teacher (Peter Sander) he suggested I attend his weekly evening class in composition at Morley College, and things went on from there.
What drives your work, what are you passions?
I think that it�s the open ended nature of anything that�s creative; the fact that you�ve no idea what�s coming next, what ideas will emerge. So each day�s composing is a step into the unknown. Although it feels mostly like very hard work with few notes emerging, there�s always a sense of excitement when a piece finally starts to come together after months or years of work.
You talk about having 'completely re-thought your musical language' after your studies, moving from a modernist approach to a style than incorporated modality and non-classical influences. What led you to this re-thinking? How do you view the modernist agenda today?
The composers that I was interested in as a student are still part of my life today: these would include Ligeti, Boulez, Birtwistle, Lutoslawski, Messiaen. But after finishing my studies I began to realise that I had nothing to say within these sorts of styles, and what I was hearing in my head was very different. Also, the degree of complexity that some pieces had evolved to was very much at the limit of performance possibility. I also realised that I wanted to write music that had recognisable �objects�, which would allow a listener to have a greater degree of structural orientation, a sense of formal clarity. In order to do this it was necessary to involve harmonic and melodic ideas that were self contained and seen as processes within a formal framework. And I guess for any composer there is always a �sound world� at the root of things that one is drawn to and always trying to create, a sort of distant kingdom of sonic relationships that feels tangible and like a place one would want to live in. It becomes something of a personal ontology, an individual harmonic signature. A number of years later I also became interested in tango nuevo, and this again changed the way I write to some extent.
Tell us something about your working method as a composer. Give us something that might be or might have been a starting point for a piece.
There is a slightly different process for me depending on whether I�m composing a �classical� piece, or a tango work. My interest in tango nuevo has been around for a few years now, I like the immediacy of the music, and its melodic intensity coupled with the melancholy/despair/eroticism. But the tango works � although they can be very hard to complete � evolve to some extent within a pre-existing tonal idiom; questions of musical language aren�t very apparent. But for the classical works it�s a bit like having to re-invent the wheel each time, because one�s musical language is always changing and moving on.
Because the notes are very important for me I always find that whenever I start a commission I spend a long time producing sketches: endlessly filling sheets of manuscript paper with ideas until something emerges. All this is very intuitive, there are no systems involved, but eventually some fragment of harmony or melody will come along that has an identity. Once there are some key ideas I tend to fashion these into a structure fairly quickly, and this gives me a working model to play around with. As I work very slowly it can take several years before larger pieces find their correct shape; balancing motifs and processes within a dynamic structure. For some reason (I don�t know why) pieces can change considerably in the closing stages of composition. The idea of �re-vision� is crucial, if one can hear a work clearly then it�s possible to finally complete it, but the �vision� of the music can alter as it goes through various metamorphoses before being completed.
What I compose is very influenced by colour and timbre, by the tactile nature of sound. And the pieces are often more small scale and intricate. I think that this is partly because my music is non developmental, and can be a bit like a story by Borges in which time and events are fluid, and arranged in many layers.
Tell us about your recent CD release.
Undiscovered Islands evolved from a collaboration with the pianist Mark Tanner. I am very interested in composing for the piano and am writing an ongoing series of pieces called �White Books� which take the harpsichord ordres of Couperin as their starting point. Like Couperin�s works these short pieces reflect the many aspects of life.
Mark commissioned White Book 2, and gave the first performance at Wigmore Hall in 2008. We then decided to do a disc of all my piano music, and to also add in works that involved the flute, so Mark was joined by flautist Gillian Poznansky. This disc was recorded at St George�s in Bristol in the autumn of 2008, and has been released recently on the Priory label.
This CD is a pretty good overview of what I�ve been up to stylistically in the last eight years. The White Books are the main works, and although they are mostly modal/melodic in some way they are often very difficult to play, but have been given fantastic performances by Mark. There are other slightly easier pieces (including Petenera for piano, based on poems by Lorca) and the disc concludes with three tangos for flute and piano. Gillian and Mark also recorded Mediterranean, a piece that was originally commissioned by the Leasowes Festival for the sax player Sarah Field, with marimba, but has since worked very well in a flute and piano version.
Which non-musical influences have affected your music most?
Many things! I�m a fanatical reader, and am particularly fascinated by the visual arts. I think that this is partly because I compose music in a spatial, rather than linear, way. I find that the way artists have historically tried to solve certain issues of style and composition is very helpful to me in how I perceive what I�m writing. And the ideas of writers on art � such as Gombrich, Focillon, Marin, Schapiro � are a big part of my creative process. I also tend to have more friends who are artists than musicians, so I guess that rubs off on me a bit.
What is your musical philosophy?
Well, to be honest, I�m not sure I�ll ever discover that. There just seems to be an ongoing process rather than a hard and fast idea of what I�m doing. However, in a more pragmatic way I would say that I think contemporary composers have isolated themselves somewhat from the public, and many classical musicians as well, in the last few decades. There is certainly a place for music that is both demanding to listen to, as well as to play. But composing tangos, and pieces that have been spin-offs from this idiom, has allowed me to create works that can function as concert pieces in standard venues, as well as be of a level of difficulty that means they can be played by amateurs and students.
Who has been the greatest influence on your musical style to date and why?
I�d certainly detect a French influence in my tastes � Couperin, Debussy, Messiaen, Boulez, following through to Takemitsu, and Unsuk Chin. But of course there are many other composers who are outside this stream of development that I look at and study. When I was a student I tended to spend more time looking at the works of living composers, but less so once I�d left university. I like to keep up with what�s going on, but these days I�d probably be listening to Bach or Haydn. One of my main non classical influences has been flamenco: the rhythmic structures are very complex and difficult to notate, but this gives the music a huge degree of energy and freedom. I�ve also dabbled with a lot of instruments as a way of getting under the skin of a style, and my efforts would include playing the clarsach, concertina, Irish fiddle, bandoneon, flamenco guitar; with mixed results!
What's the strangest idea for a piece you've ever had?
Hmmm. Interesting! Years ago I wrote a work for a Korg MI synth (called Seven Passages in Memory of Olivier Messian). For this piece I completely re-programmed the synth so that one could use it as a live keyboard instrument that could trigger many different programmes from different areas of the keyboard, to produce multi-layered sounds. It was never performed, fortunately�
Which work are you most proud of and why?
I often lose interest in a work once it�s written. But after I�ve had time to hear performances and recordings I get to know the work from the �outside� and understand it better. At the moment my favourites would include Invisible Cities for orchestra, which is almost my earliest recognised work. Each time it�s been performed I�ve had a lot of positive feedback, and new commissions have arrived as a result of people hearing it - most recently it was used as the modern test piece in the 2009 Leeds Conductors Competition, and it�s a fascinating experience to hear six conductors work on a piece over a couple of days! Other pieces I�m quite fond of would include the tango Milonga Azure, which has been performed in over twenty different instrumental combinations, from duos right up to a version the BBC Concert Orchestra commissioned. And the White Book piano pieces contain some of my most personal music.
What does the future hold for you?
Lots of interesting possibilities at the moment. It�s been a very busy last couple of years as I�ve had to prepare most of my catalogue for publication in Germany, as well as sorting out the recording of the Undiscovered Islands CD. And there have been deadlines to meet for new pieces. There are new projects in the pipeline and pieces being written, but I�ve also said no to one or two things in order to give myself time to re-evaluate what I�m doing and have a tinker with my musical language, again.

Phelps Media press release by: Kendall Bierer
The energy was electrifying as over 650 guests clad in elegant red and gold arrived at the 11th Annual JustWorld International Gala on Friday, January 17, 2014, at Belle Herbe Farm. The event is the social apex of the season, with attendees traveling from all corners of the globe to celebrate the work of JustWorld International.
The night was charged with Asian ambiance, as human dragons and horses joined in dance, presentations were made that warmed all hearts, and guests enjoyed the priceless items found in both the live and silent auctions. It was a momentous stride for JustWorld International as they raised over $440,000 to continue their mission to act as a catalyst for positive change in the developing world.
With the help of event sponsors Regency Party Rentals & Productions, AFR Event Furnishings and Dazzle Creative Events, Belle Herbe Farm was transformed, with Asian décor bringing the party to life beneath the expanse of the massive tent built atop the grass field. A red carpet welcomed guests to the 11th Annual JustWorld International Gala, where the flash of Jeroboam Media cameras clicked and greetings were given.
The night would not have been possible without the generosity of the presenting sponsors Caryl Philips and Frank Zeiss. Whole Foods Market of Wellington sponsored the food for the evening, which ranged from edamame and spring rolls to the main entrées and rich desserts. The Grille Fashion Cuisine provided the cocktails for the evening while also hosting the JustWorld International After Party following the conclusion of the event. Guests were also each presented with beautiful gift bags from JustWorld's newest co-branded merchandise sponsor, Masters Equestrian.
Rocco Mangel, owner of local restaurant sensation Rocco's Tacos, and equestrian commentator Steven Wilde were co-emcees for the event. Their energy was irresistible as guests laughed and joked alongside the two. The night took a more serious tone as the lights dimmed and William Betaille's beautifully documented video portrayed the good work of JustWorld and the projects they have created across the world.
A vision in red, Jessica Newman, Founder and Executive Director of JustWorld International, stepped forward to speak to the audience and introduce the winners of the inaugural "JustWorld Leg Up Award." She individually congratulated and presented the awards to Jane Tidball of Thunderbird Show Park, Farah Rizvi, Alexander Zetterman, Caitlin Ziegler, Phillip Rozon, Ali Lieberman, Ashley Holzer and Nic Roldan. The last of the awards was presented to Colombia's Daniel Bluman. It was clear that his smile showed more than what was obvious. That was when Newman introduced Antorchas de Vida, the newest addition to the JustWorld project partners from Medellin, Colombia. Bluman was so inspired by the work JustWorld had done in Guatemala, Honduras and Cambodia that he pledged to help begin funding the new project in his home country. Others in the audience were equally moved and matched and added to Bluman's pledge. The applause was resounding; the announcement was the perfect transition into the Live Auction. With Mangel and Wilde's charisma, the auction was nothing short of a success.
It was a spontaneous auction item that hailed the largest bidding frenzy as Nick Skelton and Laura Kraut announced in the final hour that the Olympic Gold Medalists would auction themselves off for lessons. It was Horseware Ireland's Tom MacGuinness who pounced at the package. It was the perfect circle, as Kraut had won one of the bids for professional polo players Nic Roldan, Brandon Phillips and Kris Kampsen. The Dutta Corporation and Guido Klatte's "Transatlantic Single Stall Round Trip Airfare for One Horse" sold in a heartbeat, as the 2014 FEI World Cup Jumping & Dressage Finals and 2014 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games took center stage. Bidders also had the opportunity to travel to Las Vegas, Alberta and Palm Beach. Miami Dolphins fans entered into a heated battle as they scrambled to pick up the VIP NFL Package to enjoy a Miami Dolphins game from the Ford Sidelines Club at Sun Life Stadium during the 2014 season. The final item of the night was the coveted Pierre Costabadie award-winning picture from the finish line of the 2011 Prix d'Amérique.
The 11th Annual JustWorld International Gala commemorated more than a decade of making strides for change to create a just world. The organization thanks all sponsors, supporters and newcomers to the event and organization. It is always so endearing to see the support and passion that allows JustWorld International to accomplish its mission.
The JustWorld International GIVE 4 GOOD Campaign will come to a close at the end of January, and with the money raised during the 11th Annual JustWorld International Gala, JustWorld will be able to provide impoverished children in Cambodia, Guatemala, Honduras and now Colombia with education, daily meals, medical care, and access to leadership and cultural development programs. Mangel donated $1,000 to the GIVE 4 GOOD Campaign, and the hands around the room went up left and right to support the cause. For $500, 400 Cambodian students will be provided with purified drinking water for a year. In Honduras, that $500 is enough to provide 30 children with breakfast every Saturday morning before participating in Compartir's Youth Journalism Movement. In Guatemala, that same $500 can equip a kitchen with a gas stove and oven to cook daily meals for all of the Patojos. JustWorld's GIVE 4 GOOD Campaign allows supporters to choose a cause that is close to their heart—a cause that will change the lives of more than 3,500 children by giving them access to the opportunities and skills that break the cycle of poverty.
If you were unable to attend the event, please consider making a donation to JustWorld in commemoration of their 11th year of bringing a positive change to children in the developing world. Your donations can be sent to:

Anorexia and Bulimia: Life-Threatening Eating Disorders
Anorexia nervosa and bulimia are psychological illnesses that lead you to eat too much or too little. Eating disorders are potentially life-threatening illnesses that requires immediate medical attention.
Although many recent studies document an alarming worldwide increase in obesity, particularly among young children, not everyone who is larger or heavier than the current American ideal has an eating disorder. Human bodies come in many different sizes, and some healthy people are just naturally larger or heavier than others.
An eating disorder may be present, though, when
A person continually confuses appetite for hunger.
A person who has access to a normal diet experiences psychological distress when denied food.
A person uses food to relieve anxiety provoked by a new job, a party, ordinary criticism, or a deadline.
Traditionally, doctors have found that treating obesity is difficult. However, recent research suggests that some people overeat in response to irregularities in the production of chemicals that regulate satiety. This research may open the path to new kinds of drugs that can control extreme appetite, thus reducing the incidence of obesity-related disorders such as arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
Some people relieve their anxiety not by eating but by refusing to eat or by regurgitating food after they've eaten it. The first kind of behavior is called anorexia nervosa; the second, bulimia.
Many doctors suggest that anorexia nervosa may be an attempt to control one's life by rejecting a developing body. By starving themselves, anorexic girls avoid developing breasts and hips, and anorexic boys avoid developing the broad wedge-shape adult male body. Left untreated, anorexia nervosa can end in death by starvation.
Unlike people with anorexia, individuals with bulimia often consume enormous amounts of food in one sitting: a whole chicken, several pints of ice cream, a whole loaf of bread.
But bulimic people don't keep the food they eat in their bodies. The most common method they use for getting rid of food is regurgitation. The human body is not designed for repeated stuffing followed by regurgitation.
Bingeing may dilate the stomach to the point of rupture; constant vomiting may severely irritate or even tear through the lining of the esophagus (throat). Using large quantities of emetics (an agent that prompts vomiting) may result in a life-threatening loss of potassium that triggers irregular heartbeat or heart failure.
Anorexia nervosa (voluntary starvation) is virtually unknown in places where food is hard to come by. It seems to be an affliction of affluence, most likely to strike the young and well-to-do. It's nine times more common among women than among men.

Hello there! Today I am sharing a new discovery that I made using my Sending All These Things stamp set and my Minc. I love using my Minc and am always looking for new ways to use it; I'm also a big fan of stretching my stamps. I decided this technique would make a great video tute, so I filmed the whole process, this includes the first attempt that was a total disaster.
If you do not have time to watch the video, what I learned is that you can use any stamp set that you have with clear embossing powder. Turn your Minc on to the "1" heat setting until the light is green, then let it cool down for about 5 minutes and turn it back on, you can set it to, "0" this time and run your image through with the foil on top inside the carrier folder (or copy paper) and you will get a crisp, foiled image. This means you can now foil tons of images and get completely new looks!
I foiled this stamp 2 times, 3 if you watched the video, and added some sequins and starts to finish the card. Any heat foil will work, I used some Deco Foil and some Minc Foil and both results were gorgeous.
Until next time, stay safe in these crafting streets.
Happy crafting,
I have linked the supplies I used below:

attend regularly
"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the day approaching." -Hebrews 10:24-25
If you didn't grow up in church, becoming more regular in attending Sunday services is an easy next step to take. You will hear directly from Stu as he teaches a practical message from the Bible that you can easily apply in your life. Worshiping and singing are powerful ways to deepen your relationship with God. You will also get to know people and learn about the things going on in the life of the church.
If you're looking for some accountability, agree to meet a friend or better yet invite someone new to meet you on a specific Sunday!

When two people are this ridiculously good looking it's probably only natural that they keep gravitating towards each other.
And like a pair of really hot magnets, it looks like male model David Gandy and Saturdays songstress Mollie King may be dating again.
The Dolce & Gabbana hunk, 34, and his 27-year-old ex were spotted out together on Wednesday night looking very cosy indeed.
My spy says: "David and Mollie were out in Fulham Broadway in West London and it looked like they were on a date.
"They were holding hands and trying to look inconspicuous, as they were both dressed really casually and they were both wearing caps.
"They were out for dinner and looked like a normal couple on a night out."
The insanely beautiful pair previously dated for 10 months in 2011.
But last year pictures emerged of the ex-lovers appearing to ignore each other at a tennis match.
At the time Mollie said: "These pictures could not have been more unfortunate.
"It looked like we hated each other but we do actually get on. Just as I do with Andy [Brown, from Lawson]. I've stayed friends with all my ex-boyfriends, which is nice because we often bump into each other at events."
And Mollie – who has split from American producer Jordan Omley – now seems keen to make these "events" a bit more like "dates".
A source added: "They have remained friends but they've been spending a lot of time together recently.
"They're keeping it really low-key though. They don't like being recognised when they're out.
"This way they don't have to define what they are yet, they don't have to put a label on it, but they're really enjoying seeing each other again."
And frankly with faces like that, who can blame them?

I promise we're still here and living it up like crazy every day.
In case you didn't know, this is the time of year that we hang on to our hats and just try to make it through until January.
Lots of small children means lots of snot, which means lots of being house ridden, SINCE WE DON'T GO OUT AND GIVE THE REST OF THE UNSUSPECTING PUBLIC OUR GERMS.
Christmas time means (hopefully) lots of soap orders, lots of ribbon being flung about, lots of packages stacked at the door for the mail man, lots of loading up our van as if it were Santa's sleigh and toting our stuff all over the place. We've got 4 salt parties under our belts and 3 more to go, plus 4 other events for the Holidays. And then we will all take a short breath and start to prepare for this summer's farmers markets.
After we take our annual hiatus to the promise land Georgia.
So, I leave you with one huge favor. Lora Lynn over at Vitafam has put together a really great list of (mostly) handmade stuff that is all being sold to benefit orphans. If you are looking for great handmade stuff made with lots of love by families, that are unique and you'd like to find something for everyone on your list, check this out:
Please please please click that little box. It's a great way to give, it's a great way to support families and handmade, and you can tell big box cheap-o stores to stick it…all at the same time. We're all about multi-tasking here, people.
OH, and one more thing. I know it's the holidays, but please have some respect for the strangers around you. Don't ride eachothers tales. If someone accidentally pulls out in front of you in traffic, don't take it as a personal offense and ride their bumper to make sure they know you are upset with them. Back off, slow down, smile at one another, stop trying to be the line leader all the time, don't yell at your kids in the stores even though one of them pooped in their pants or stuck gum in their sister's hair and you have already invested 20 minutes in line to checkout.
And if you are having trouble coping with the stress, get a bath bomb. I promise, those things will help you get through anything.

Ethanol is ethyl alcohol, essentially 200-proof grain alcohol used as a motor fuel. An ethanol plant (production facility or "biorefinery") produces pure fuel-grade ethanol, and then that ethanol is blended in a percentage with gasoline to create a finished motor fuel. A small amount of gasoline is blended into the ethanol at the plant to denature it (to make it unfit for human consumption).
Ethanol can be blended into varying percentages in gasoline, the two most common blends being 10% and 85%.
E10 — 10% ethanol and 90% unleaded gasoline — is the most common way ethanol is available to motorists. All automakers approve ethanol blends up to this 10% level by warranty, no matter the make or model of the vehicle. About 99% of America's ethanol is retailed as E10.
E85 — 85% ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline — is an alternative fuel for use in Flexible Fuel Vehicles (FFVs). FFVs can use unleaded gasoline or any blend of ethanol up to this 85% level.
Other ethanol blends are possible. California's gas, for example, contains 5.7% ethanol instead of the more common 10% blend. In addition, the American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE) is advocating the research of blends of ethanol beyond 10% in standard, unmodified vehicles. In the near future, blends such as E15 (15% ethanol), E20 (20% ethanol), E30, E40, or E50 may be feasible and available for motorists.
In 2007, about 6.5 billion gallons of ethanol was produced and consumed in the United States. Today, ethanol-blended fuel is available from nearly Coast to Coast. Ethanol is blended into 70 percent of America's gasoline.
E85 is always labeled at the pump because it is an alternative fuel for use only in Flexible Fuel Vehicles. Because up to 10% ethanol can be used in any vehicle, labeling of this fuel is a decision made locally or by state. Some states require labeling of ethanol blends, and some states say it is not required or that it is voluntary. To determine your state's labeling requirements, visit ACE's state-by-state ethanol handbook by clicking on "Ethanol Stats & Laws" at the bottom of Ethanol.org's homepage.
A link to a complete list of gas stations offering E85 can be found at the Flex Fuel Finder. Today there are more than 2000 gas stations across the nation offering E85 and that number is increasing quickly.
Ethanol is a very diverse industry, not controlled by any one company. Over the past decade, the industry's growth has been driven by farmer- and locally-owned cooperatives or limited liability companies; taken together, these companies comprise nearly half of today's U.S. ethanol industry. The other half of the industry is made of privately held agriculture or ethanol companies and some publicly traded ethanol companies.
What is the relationship between ethanol and biodiesel? Ethanol and biodiesel are both domestically produced renewable fuels that seek to add to the fuel supply and reduce dependence upon petroleum-based fuels. Ethanol is blended into gasoline for gasoline engines and biodiesel is blended into diesel for diesel engines. Like ethanol, biodiesel can be blended in varying percentages to make a finished fuel — examples include B2 (2% biodiesel, 90% petroleum diesel), B5, B20, etc. B100, or pure biodiesel, can also be used as a finished fuel. Biodiesel is typically made from soybeans, though it can also be produced from other sources. Visit http://www.biodiesel.org/ to learn more.
Ethanol is a much cleaner burning fuel than gasoline, offering a significant reduction in carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon tailpipe emissions. Research shows that every city and state that has switched to ethanol-blended fuel has experienced improved air quality. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, in 2005 alone ethanol-blended fuels reduce CO2-equivalent greenhouse gas emissions by 7.8 million tons — this has the effect of removing the annual GHG emissions of more than 1 million automobiles from the road.
Ethanol production has a large positive impact on the U.S. economy, especially in the rural areas where most ethanol production takes place. An ethanol plant makes a large difference to the economy of its local area. A study conducted in 2002 found that an average sized ethanol plant (40 mgy) would: generate a one-time boost of $142 million through its construction; expand the local economic base by $110 million, generate an additional $19.6 million in household income and at least $1.2 million in new tax revenue.
Every gallon of ethanol we produce here in the U.S. means that less gasoline will need to be used, thereby reducing our demand for crude oil. Research has determined that 1 barrel of ethanol (1 barrel = 42 gallons) can displace 1.2 barrels of petroleum at the refinery.
Is it true that ethanol is driving up prices at the grocery store? No — the role of corn and ethanol in grocery prices has been grossly exaggerated by critics who have much to gain in keeping ethanol's potential limited. Corn prices, made higher lately in part due to ethanol demand, do have some impact on foods in which corn is an ingredient — namely meat, dairy, and poultry. Energy prices have a much more dramatic impact on food prices because all foods are dependent upon this expensive energy for processing, packaging, and transportation. Research shows that energy prices have at least twice the impact as corn prices in the grocery aisle.
What does "net energy balance" mean? What is ethanol's energy balance? Net energy balance is a term used to describe how much energy is needed to produce a product versus how much energy that product provides. Two professors that are long-time critics of ethanol claim that ethanol has a negative energy balance, but this is simply not true and has been debunked again and again by science. Scientific study after study has proven ethanol's energy balance to be positive. The latest USDA figures show that ethanol made from the drymill process provides at least 77% more energy as a fuel than the process it takes to make it. The bottom line is that it takes about 35,000 BTUs (British Thermal Units) of energy to create a gallon of ethanol, and that gallon of ethanol contains at least 77,000 BTUs of energy. The net energy balance of ethanol is simply a non-issue.
Ethanol adds to the overall supply of motor fuel in the U.S. and helps keep pump prices competitive and affordable. The blender's tax credit is usually passed down to consumers in the form of more competitive prices at the pump. An Iowa State University study shows that ethanol has saved American motorists up to 40 cents per gallon at the pump over the last several years.
What about ethanol's impact on fuel economy? There is virtually no difference in fuel economy between unleaded gasoline and E10, the 10% blend most commonly available to motorists. Research shows that, on average, the difference is only 1.5% — a negligible amount, much less than the impact of wind speed, stop-and-go driving, and tire pressure.
E85 (85% ethanol 15% gasoline fuel) does typically generate slightly lower fuel economy than E10 or unleaded, but this loss is made up for in the fuel's high performance and high octane rating (at least 105 octane), cooler burn and longer engine life for the vehicle, and more economical price at the pump.
The above was adapted from Ethanol FAQ.

What are the biggest threats to press freedom today?
Oppressive governments around the world that wish to suppress free speech are clearly the biggest threat to press freedom, in my view. As President of the Commonwealth Journalists' Association I received many worrying reports vof journalists being arrested, abducted and tortured for criticism of police or the exposing of government malpractice; of senior editors being dismissed or arrested for refusing to reveal their sources; and, in some countries, of repressive laws being introduced to silence the media.
In countries like Pakistan, Egypt, Uganda, Pakistan, Rwanda, Bangladesh and Gambia, media operate under tight and punitive government control. The Malaysian government has been criticised for using religious laws to stamp out dissent. The travel ban imposed on the cartoonist Zunar, an outspoken critic of the government, being a recent flashpoint.
Over the past decade, human rights organizations have been especially alarmed by the proliferation of enforced disappearances in Pakistan. Amnesty International has called for an investigation into the abduction and suspected enforced disappearance of a 24-year-old journalist, Zeenat Shahzadi, who was abducted by armed gunmen when she was on her way to work in Lahore on 19 August 2015.
In countries like Mexico, Guatemala and the Philippines meanwhile, where powerful political and business interests often combine to violently silence the news media, the stakes are simply too high for some journalists to continue reporting.
"In countries like Mexico, Guatemala and the Philippines, the stakes are simply too high for some journalists to continue reporting."
It's not just repressive governments that the press fear; victimisation and even criminalisation of journalists is sadly becoming all too common in countries inside and outside the Commonwealth. According to the International News Safety Institute a total of 49 media workers died in the first six months of 2016. Journalists and other outspoken people are, more than ever, being threatened, harassed, assaulted and sometimes killed for doing their jobs. This summer's brutal murder of Nazimuddin Samad, the Bangladeshi blogger hacked to death by extremists, simply for expressing secular views online, being one tragic example.

After a couple of false reports hit earlier this week that Avril Lavigne and Nickleback rocker Chad Kroeger had tied the knot over the weekend, guess what? They're actually married now!
The reason for the false start? The couple spent three full days celebrating with their friends and family; the party held over the weekend mistakenly taking for their wedding was just a shindig to kick everything off. According to People, the wedding itself took place on July 1, which is both the one-year anniversary of the day the couple started dating and—wait for it—Canada Day. They ARE both Canadian, after all.
And so, in a candlelit ceremony on Monday, Avril and Chad said their "I dos" at the Chateau de la Napoule medieval castle in the south of France, not too far away from Cannes. You'll recall that when Avril got married to Dereck Whibley in 2006, she went the traditional wedding route—white dress and all. "I wanted to say, 'Let's totally have a rock 'n' roll, goth wedding," she said at the time, "but at the same time I thought, 'I've been dreaming about my wedding day since I was a little girl. I have to wear the white dress.'" Not so this time; the "Complicated" singer walked down the aisle in a black tulle Monique Lhullier creation. She told Hello! of her epic three-day-long nuptials, "I wanted to make sure it's a crazy vacation and an experience of a lifetime for our guests"; she also elaborated to People, I wanted it to be over the top. I'm obsessed with castles and I love French décor and goth… I found this castle in France and we visited it and it was perfect."
Read Mean Betty on Former 'Teen Mom' Farrah Abraham's Latest Exploits + Trip to Rehab
The couple first met in February of 2012 when Chad contribute to Avril's album Here's to Never Growing Up; that summer, the Nickleback front man surprised her with a trip to Paris, which Avril calls the most romantic week of her life. Chad popped the question on August 8.
Does it seem a little fast? Kind of; but then again, given that Avril's first marriage happened when she was about 21, we should probably have learned to expect this kind of thing from her by now. Avril is 28 now, so hopefully she'll have learned a little something since the dissolution of her first marriage in 2010. At any rate, she and Chad seem to be over the moon about the whole thing; "When you've got that ring on your finger that you get to look at every single day, and you get to call that other person husband or wife, it's a really special feeling," said Chad. Added Avril, "We hope to be together forever. One day down the road we'll have a family. I look forward to growing with Chad."
Tell us: Do you think the second time's the charm for Avril?

Loud & Cutting!
We succumbed to the success of the white cat. :D
When you can't beat them - - - join them :D
Great kit!
Shawn @Vintage Logo's is great - we use him alot!
That setup looks impressive Dylan! Love it!
........... you'll have to start a new thread......... :D :D
I'm thinking this has something to do with it. :D
Yes, we stock the RB8 ribber tips.
The BC-900 feet are the RB8.
The RB001 goes to the 1030/2030 series.
The snare pic was taken with a flash.
It's actually like a darker grey/black metallic lacquer with micro iridescent sparkles in the top coat.
It can be a combination of wood types like Luna, Santa Maria, basswood some companies use like a lamin select etc...
The inner ply is the most influential in the overall sound with the outer ply...
That setup still looks cool.
I have a pic of color #331 with gold hardware
Yeah they sound good. It isn't you know the African Mahogany that we use on the Masterworks, but those shells sound good.
Also, just be aware we no longer offer the three-piece long hi-tension...
The badge indicates it to be a 1996-97 Export Series.
Shells are 8-ply Asian Mahogany | & Select hardwood
You can order the Masters Maple Reserve (MRV) in any of the Masters lacquer finishes but it will come from the factory as a special order 4+ months lead time.
that's because it thinks it's a 12" :D
Is your 16" too boomy? I think coated heads sound better on larger drums IMHO.
The then newly designed consolette tom holder, diamond cut lugs, floor tom bracket tell me 1967-68.
Hard to tell with no badge.
Yes, here is the U.S., we show both the BA93 and BA103 as stocking parts. You can get pricing and availability through your favorite authorized Pearl dealership.
Sounds like standard MW pricing not Artisan pricing if you aren't going to do a fancy veneer.
Looks like 1994 Prestige Session in piano black. 7-ply birch / mahogany shells.
A Pearl DC627AN Stock lock should do the trick! Put it right under the cow bell. tightens with a drum key.
Excellent Gary!
You are correct though Will has used 26"s in the past.
Actually 22's.

One of the world's largest defense, space and security businesses, Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) develops innovative solutions that address evolving capability requirements. The ability to provide customers with the right solutions at the right time and the right cost drives our worldwide success.
Our rich portfolio of products and services, tailored to India's unique needs, includes the P-8I multi-mission maritime patrol aircraft, C-17 Globemaster III strategic lift airlifter, the heavy lift CH-47F Chinook helicopter, the combat-proven AH-64 Apache attack helicopter and weapons.
On January 1, 2009, the Government of India signed a contract with Boeing Defense, Space & Security to purchase eight P-8I long-range maritime reconnaissance and antisubmarine aircraft. The P-8I is an India-unique variant of the U.S. Navy's P-8A Poseidon and offers India the full range of maritime surveillance and patrol missions. Boeing has delivered all eight P-8I aircraft to the Indian Navy on schedule.
In June 2011, India's Ministry of Defence signed an agreement with the U.S. government to acquire 10 Boeing C 17 Globemaster III airlifters. The deal is the largest defense contract to have been signed by the Indian government with the United States. Boeing has delivered all 10 aircraft to the Indian Air Force.
The India Ministry of Defence has finalized its order with Boeing for production, training and support of Apache and Chinook helicopters that will greatly enhance India's capabilities across a range of military and humanitarian missions. India will receive 22 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters and 15 CH-47F Chinook heavy-lift helicopters. Both are the newest models of those aircraft.But sales are only half the India success story. Boeing is forging partnerships with numerous enterprises in India, both directly and through its extensive network of suppliers, to enhance the country's aerospace and defense industry.
Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) has delivered the Indian-designed Data Link II for the P-8I. Data Link II is a communications system that enables exchange of tactical data and messages among the Indian Navy aircraft, ships and shore establishments. BEL has also delivered the identification friend-or-foe interrogator, a battle management system that enables the aircraft to distinguish friendly aircraft and forces. Finally, BEL is on contract to provide F/A-18 flight deck cockpit panels. Electronics Corporation of India (ECIL) has provided the speech secrecy systems for the P-8I.
Dynamatic Technologies (DTL) has been working on the P-8I since 2010 and has since expanded to include the manufacture of critical ram and pylon parts for the CH-47 Chinook since 2013.
Boeing has also signed an agreement with TASL to create a joint venture (JV) that will manufacture aerostructures for aircraft and collaborate on integrated systems development opportunities in India. The JV will initially create a manufacturing center of excellence to produce aerostructures for the AH-64 Apache helicopter and to compete for additional manufacturing work packages across Boeing platforms, both commercial and defense. The agreement is significant because it demonstrates Boeing and TASL's commitment to expand its aerospace manufacturing footprint in India and explore the development of aerospace technologies in India.
Beyond direct work placement, Boeing collaborates with Indian industrial partners on Lean manufacturing techniques and Boeing's Program Management & Supplier Management Best Practices as part of its drive to bring the best of Boeing to India and the best of India to Boeing.

A motel was only nearly as good as the individuals who ran it. I've spent numerous nights in low cost motels; I bear in mind scratchy sheets, creaky beds, TVs that wobbled on their stand. In the course of the Nice Melancholy, these nonetheless traveling (together with business vacationers and touring salespeople) were underneath pressure to manage travel costs by driving instead of taking trains and staying within the new roadside motels and courts as an alternative of more costly established downtown motels the place bell captains , porters , and other personnel would all anticipate a tip for service.
The American Lodge and Motel Association eliminated 'motel' from its title in 2000, turning into the American Hotel and Lodging Affiliation The association felt that the time period 'lodging' extra accurately displays the large variety of totally different style motels, including luxurious and boutique accommodations, suites, inns, finances, and prolonged keep hotels.
We offer a plethora of motels which might be located close to the major landmarks as a way to more fully enjoy your vacation or enterprise journey. Biloela Countryman Motel is located 500 m south of the primary procuring space and less than 10 minutes' drive from Thangool Airport. Stephen C. Apostolof's Motel Confidential (1967) and the porn movie Motel for Lovers (1970) have been two notable early examples. Our goal is not solely to offer you a vacation experience but to make it all the more worthwhile in terms of comfortable stopover, convenient transit facilities, best resort offers, economically priced motel rooms or group resort reductions. Examples embrace Pink Motel (1982), Motel Blue 19 (1993), Backroad Motel (2001), Stateline Motel (2003), Niagara Motel (2006), and Motel 5150 (2008). Motels in low-income areas are often plagued with drug activity, avenue prostitution or different crime.
Sundowner Motel is opposite a grocery store, The Warehouse and the Greymouth practice station, making it the perfect motel alternative if you're catching the TranzAlpine prepare from Christchurch to Greymouth, free switch provided. Several of these horror movies additionally incorporate the sub-theme of voyeurism, whereby the motel owner spies on (and even films) the sexual exploits of the guests. In some instances, loosely-knit possession chains (resembling Travelodge ) and referral chains (such as High quality Courts, based in 1939 by seven motel operators as a non-revenue referral system) were converted to franchise techniques. Most of those establishments, previously referred to as motels, should still appear to be motels but at the moment are known as hotels, inns, or lodges.
The first of these were possession chains, in which a small group of people owned and operated all of the motels under one common brand. El Rey Court in Santa Fe, New Mexico boasted American Automobile Affiliation , Duncan Hines , and The Best Western Motels ' approval. Here's what travelers have requested, with answers from Jerry's Motel staff and other travelers.

On the morning of November 9th, 2016, my wife and I woke up and, over coffee, decided to live our lives in opposition to the hate we saw around us. Neither of us had voted for Donald Trump, but neither of us believed he was the disease that had infected so much of American discourse and life. He was more a symptom of it. We knew, because we worked in the media, that its fractured landscape meant an increased focus on a political identity for a great many websites and news networks. We suspected, because we used social media, that the amplification of those news stories across social platforms only affirmed the righteousness of a certain position for someone scrolling through a feed. We understood that economic uncertainty bred fear of a cultural or religious other. We believed, or at least strongly hoped, that love could still win out.
We weren't sure what exactly we would do, only that we should do something, so our three young kids could look back on these divided times and say, Here is how Mom and Dad tried to unify people. We had recently joined Farmington's First Church of Christ, Congregational, 1652, and when we spoke with the interim minister the Rev. Susan Murtha, she recommended we get involved with the church's arm of community outreach. We joined that committee and began speaking with its chair, Jane Smith, who had originated a series of talks, called Honest Conversations, where Christians tried to understand their Muslim neighbors and their faith. The Trump administration's so-called travel ban was in the news, and Jane, my wife and I began discussing how to beef up the Honest Conversations series.
We found a partner in the Farmington Valley American Muslim Center, in Avon, and settled on a conference. It would feature not only world-renown theologians but local ministers and imams. We would discuss the differences in our beliefs and the biblical similarities. We would listen to religious experts and also those who'd spent their lives as Christians or Muslims empowering women, or working for social justice, or instilling morality in youth. We would host a conference about the shared humanity that arose from our faiths, and along the way perhaps highlight the goodness within everyone.
For the past eight months a committee from First Church and the FVAMC has worked to make our plans a reality. On October 27th and 28th our Spirit One Conference will make its debut, with speakers and sessions covering everything we'd wanted the conference to cover. It's been a blessing to meet and develop friendships with the members of the FVAMC. My hope is that the conference will leave you as inspired as I feel right now, just writing about it.
