To coincide with the launch of Garmento's third issue, Insiders speaks to the zine's editor and publisher Jeremy Lewis about his inspirations and motivations and whether postmodernism a license to borrow from the past without irony...
In the debut issue of Garmento, the semi-annual fashion zine out of New York, editor and publisher Jeremy Lewis poses a provocative question: "Is fashion having an American moment?" In the ensuing pages, he cogently and calmly presents his argument through profiles on American iconoclasts like Bonnie Cashin, Miguel Adrover and Matthew Ames. Extraordinarily researched and thoughtfully considered, Garmento is a refreshing antidote to the slick sameness and diminishing search for the new of much of fashion publishing, instead concentrating on making connections between the present and the not too-distant past, none so apparent as when he posted a side-by-side comparison of a coat from Phoebe Philo's A/W13 Céline collection alongside an archive Geoffrey Beene piece which had WWD wondering "Is Phoebe Philo channeling Geoffrey Beene?"
And while he curates a beautiful selection of vintage advertising campaigns from Jil Sander, Donna Karan and Prada among others for the website, Lewis recently branched out to an appropriately old-fashioned form of communication with a series of live talks with some of menswear's strongest hopes like Patrik Ervell and Tim Coppens at the Museum of Arts in Design in New York titled "Conversations in American Menswear." The new issue out this month intriguingly explores "outlying anomalies in fashion" featuring profiles on Hood by Air's Shayne Oliver and a rare interview with the visionary Andre Walker.
What made you start up Garmento? What references did you have in creating the look and feel of it?
Charles Kleibacker, a curator I worked with in school, had passed away and I was frustrated about that. He had designed his own line in the 70s and retired in Ohio and he taught me how to really look at a garment not just for its craftsmanship or beauty but for the level of thought a designer puts into creating solutions within that garment. I felt like there were too many stories in fashion that weren't being told and that it couldn't be the sole responsibility of museums and academics to tell them. I had been dabbling in fashion writing and fashion editorial and so it made sense to make a zine to tell those stories. From the start, before I even found a name, I knew I wanted it to be on newsprint because I loved the idea of something being really cheap but still very precious and I loved the visual and tactile experience I got from flipping through old yellowed newspapers and magazines.
"I felt like there were too many stories in fashion that weren't being told and that it couldn't be the sole responsibility of museums and academics to tell them"
Garmento takes a considered, literate look at fashion, drawing connections between the past and present which seems at odds with a lot of fashion magazines today which focus on the new. Has making the zine changed the way you perceive and consume fashion?
Definitely. When you factor in all the clothes from the last century, or even the last millennium, and put it into context with what is happening now your perception has to adjust to compensate for that increase in scale and variety. I don't really view the progression of fashion as a straight line like I used to, it's more of a flat plane moving in all directions, and maybe there's more activity in one direction than in others at any given season or period. But now I'm not even sure if fashion is the best way to engage new ideas about dress and clothes, the system is a bit too muddled. Has making the zine changed the way I consume? Probably. I'm a lot more conscious of what I buy because I do make a zine that presents certain attitudes that are vaguely polemical. If my actions contradict that I'd be a hypocrite. The first issue put a strong focus on clothes being made in the U.S. and I do make a conscious effort to buy goods that are American made, but I also shop at Uniqlo and that's my reality. What I think is essential now is to simply be informed about what you consume and how it's being made and sold.
On your blog, you highlighted the similarities between a coat designed by Geoffrey Beene with a cape from Phoebe Philo's AW13 collection for Céline – what is your take on this? Is postmodernism a license to borrow from the past without irony?
I loved it. When I was clicking through the Céline show on style.com and got to that look my heart stopped. It was a fashion moment for me. Beene was a true master and it was like a dream to see his work get some attention and love on that scale. But I was actually surprised there was no mention of it in the reviews because it's a pretty well-known image and you can find it in almost every book on him. Now there's this debate online and people are aggressively accusing the house of copying. Appropriating another designer's work is, to me, a part of the evolution of design, and it's not really new. You don't think Chanel looked to Jean Patou? Or that Patou looked to Chanel? Or that Dior didn't get his idea for the New Look from Charles James? It's like how a scientist wouldn't go about devising a new theory without investigating and understanding the theories and truths prior.
"Appropriating another designer's work is, to me, a part of the evolution of design – you don't think Chanel looked to Jean Patou? Or that Patou looked to Chanel?"
To me looking to other designers only becomes a problem when the idea that is being considered remains static. It cannot just be a copy, that's just a waste and certainly when you are making a huge production on a catwalk that is broadcasted to thousands of people and you show a copy it really defeats the purpose. I think the excitement happens when that idea is advanced and the discussion is moved forward, and that's exactly what Céline did. And honestly she didn't really reference the coat per se, it was really the photo and the photo, with the arms tied, was more like a trompe-l'oeil effect on the runway than an actual facsimile of the object. And she took the seaming, the shape, the fabric, its ease, and turned it into a dress, and then another coat, and then back into another dress. And you know, there were other Beene-ism's in the collection, like those Chinatown bag plaids, that juxtaposition of high and low fabrics, the cheap and the luxurious, the humor and wit of that is more Beene than the coat! There's a lot of good stuff to explore in that collection than just that one look. What I really hope is that now people will go back and look at Beene's work and give the man the praise he's due. And maybe more designers in America will feel empowered to go back through their history and learn from it.
Who would you love to interview for the zine?
This is so hard to answer. There are a lot and I don't want to give away any scoops. I would maybe need a time machine or a psychic medium to talk to the people I really want to. I'd love to talk to Halston circa 1978. I'd love to talk to Perry Ellis or Willi Smith circa 1985. To me they were all integral to fashion even though their contribution has been almost totally obliterated. It's strange because there are people who knew them intimately and talked to them every day when they were alive but to me they are these untouchable legends and I think this distance is part of the problem with bringing their ideas and contributions to the fore. But it's hard to remove that distance when they're no longer here to speak for themselves. As far as living designers go, I'd love to talk to Stefano Pilati. I think he's one of the most intriguing and complex designers to have come a long in a while.

Linkevičius: Attack on Syria's chemical weapons facilities was a necessary step towards a peaceful political solution
"It's important to condemn the use of chemical weapons in Syria, but that is not enough. The targeted airstrikes on chemical weapons facilities of 14 April were necessary steps for encouraging the Syrian regime and its supporters to seek a political solution to the conflict," the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Linas Linkevičius said at the Foreign Affairs Council on 16 April in Luxembourg.
Lithuania's Foreign Minister also noted that chemical weapons had been used many times in Syria over the past 5-6 years and the Russian veto policy had contributed to this indirectly, as it had essentially paralyzed the United Nations Security Council. Foreign Ministers emphasized that the EU must make every effort, as well as impose additional autonomous EU sanctions against the Syrian regime in order to encourage it to dispose of its own chemical weapons. In the opinion of EU Foreign Ministers, the second Conference on "Supporting the Future of Syria and the region", which will take place on 24-25 April in Brussels, could help bring the Syrian regime to the negotiating table.
The issue of Syria was urgently included in the agenda following a suspected chemical attack in rebel-held Douma in Syria on 8 April.

The Israeli regime has arrested nearly 15,000 Palestinian women since 1967, a report by a Palestinian organization said ahead of International Women's Day which is marked on March 8.
The Commission for Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs says there are 56 women and girls held by the Israeli regime at the moment, adding that 16 of them are minors, 18 married, 11 sick, and one held under administrative detention.
The Palestinian women are held in Sharon and Damon prisons, the report said.
"Shireen Al-Issawi, sister of former hunger striker and present prisoner Samer Issawi, suffers from dizziness. She has been banned from receiving books to continue a course she started before her arrest," the report added.
6,500 Palestinians are being held in Israeli prisons as of January, prisoners' rights group Addameer said, adding that the number includes 353 women and children.
According to a statement released by the Palestinian Prisoners' Centre for Studies, Israeli forces detained 420 Palestinians, including 70 minors and 22 females, in February.
The center said that 12 people, including five fishermen whose boats were destroyed by Israeli forces, were detained from the besieged Gaza Strip.
Two of the fishermen were detained at the Beit Hanoun crossing and five were detained because they allegedly attempted to cross the border fence between the besieged enclave and Israel.

text: The Legend sub-section is pretty dead so I thought I'd drop some literature I have on file. I've got a copy of the 1992 and 1993 Acura Press Kits. They're fantastic. In the olden days, a press kit was a three inch three ring binder filled to the brim with specifications, graphics, photos, and revision notes. Nothing goes unmetioned. Valve timing and diameter adjustments. Oil pressure adjustments for a smoother shifting automatic transmission. Exhaust back-pressure recalibrations. My favorite portion of the press kits are the wireframe models. I scanned these one at a time as I worry about how these old pages might fare through a feeder.

Potential Vore Saga... Would anyone want to read it?
So, since I've been featuring my favorite pairing (from the PT anime) in a lot of my vore works (such as these ones: http://aryion.com/g4/view/246063, http://aryion.com/g4/view/252380, http://aryion.com/g4/view/252895, and an upcoming short comic thing with them), I've been really considering writing a vore saga with them that would be on-going.
How can it be on-going if it contains lots of vore with the same characters, you ask? Well, that's because the guy has a canon power in which he can write stories into reality. Thus, he could explore as many different and wild situations to do with vore as he wanted. I thought it would be fun to play around with as an ongoing vore series. She would likely have her memory of each situation erased after he brings her back, to provide fresh responses/reactions to each scenario. And I don't plan to just have him immediately embrace the idea, but rather more like a 'falling into madness' type of thing, much like his ancestor who had the same power and eventually became so crazy that he wanted to see everyone's stories end in tragedy.
And I know these are fandom characters, which is why I'm asking if anyone here would want to read it. I'm also alright with keeping the saga to myself if it doesn't interest people here (since I doubt many have seen the show). But I do intend to make it so anything you would need to know about the characters is introduced IN the fic series, itself. The rest would be pretty blatantly geared toward the vore (and perhaps some sex-related stuff, too).
That said, I will also gladly take suggestions for vore scenarios. I can't say I would use them all, by any means, but I'll take things into consideration. I've already got quite a few ideas on-hand that range from giants to mermen and other things that could easily be created with the use of a power like his. But what I do want to avoid is anything that isn't oral vore or CV. I'm afraid that I'm just not interested in anal, hair vore, etc.
It's fine to say if you're not interested, too! Thanks in advance for any input on this. : )

Re: Potential Vore Saga... Would anyone want to read it?
I'd be interested, you've been making me want to re-watch the series anyways... Then again, I only watched episodes 1-5 then caught the second half of the finale, so my perspective is a bit screwy anyways...
Beautiful prey,
squirms in my agony,
fuel for my lust.
It's a poor excuse for a haiku, but still one of the better things I have written. XD
RE: Potential Vore Saga... Would anyone want to read it?
Hi Chameleonette,
I think you're a great artist and writer, and here's my thoughts:

RE: Potential Vore Saga... Would anyone want to read it?
Aww, darn! You missed out on some of the best episodes, imo. But I'm glad to know you're interested, despite that. : )
I'm definitely familiar with Nephilim's work and she was one of the biggest influences for me to join this site. I do not have her level of writing talent, however. And the big part of why I asked is because I plan to write it regardless, but when it comes to writing, I'm more reluctant to share it---particularly since, as your second bullet in the list says, it's a lesser-known series and I'm not sure that many people would enjoy reading about something they're not familiar with, if it's fanfiction. Unlike art, writing has to really grab the reader and I'm not sure if an obscure series will really pique many people's interest. The fact of the matter is, though, I'm terrible at creating original characters and fleshing them out and I'm much more comfortable writing fanfiction, particularly of series that I'm very familiar with and love. It's my niche and where I feel most confident in my writing.
Thanks a lot for your input. I'll definitely take that all into consideration if I decide to pursue posting what I write here.
Re: Potential Vore Saga... Would anyone want to read it?
It'd totally read the heck out of those. It's been a while since I've seen the series, but nothing like well written vore fiction to get me interested in things again.
Re: Potential Vore Saga... Would anyone want to read it?
I think it's fine to start in a place that you feel most confident and comfortable.
The thing about fanfiction is that it's a tradeoff. You save time normally used for character development, but you pay the price of losing people who don't understand the characters.
HOWEVER! I think you can make lemonade out of this. If you start your stories off with a bang--some immediately exciting or impossible proposition like:
...then I don't think it will matter whether people know the character are not, if they are 'grabbed' as you say by the first opening, they may wnat to read on anyways. That's how I came to love the writer Agora (f pred anime fanfiction writer), because as soon as he starts his stories, you immediately know "oh man, so many people gonna get eaten!" and you just want to read on despite having no idea what all these japanese names are referring to.
Hope that makes sense!
Indighost's Library: Stories of Vore, Sex, Stuffing, Digestion, Drama.
Re: Potential Vore Saga... Would anyone want to read it?
I've enjoyed your art so far and I would love to see more and more of your work
Re: Potential Vore Saga... Would anyone want to read it?
@Animatedfantasy - Thanks! I'm glad to hear it. : ) I can't vouch for how well-written it will be, but I have an introductory/starting chapter that I already finished tonight. (I've felt really inspired to write it. XD;;; )
@Indighost - I'm actually going to be starting each chapter off with a sort of 'story' introduction kind of thing that goes along with how the series was. (IE: "Once upon a time...") It may not be immediately catching to some people or a huge BANG, but I have long since decided that it's a fitting way to start off the chapters ever since the idea of writing it came to me, especially since he's writing stories. XD
@chechico - Thanks a lot. : ) I hope not to disappoint. I have written one other vore story. It was my first submission here. But I have been meaning to write more vore stories since. I haven't felt incredibly inspired to do so until this idea came to me.
Re: Potential Vore Saga... Would anyone want to read it?
I'm definitely enjoying your art as of now. You're art style and abilities are just phenomenal at this point in time. As I mentioned in a previous picture, I loved the idea of this character's ability to write stories into reality, and I have to say, if he keeps writing her back into existence after each occasion, then you've got me on board for reading such stories.
Granted, I'd probably read it anyways, but still. Reforming is one of the best things in my opinion, even if it means wiping memories to do it. <3
Either way, whatever you decide to do I'm sure will be very successful and amazing. Remember, do what YOU want to do when it comes to art. If you enjoy what you make, then others will too. ^^
In our darkest of days, we will see the light. Those who follow it shall conquer, and those who don't shall vanish.
Re: Potential Vore Saga... Would anyone want to read it?
Thank you so very much! And I'm happy to hear that you're interested. : ) I've actually never considered re-forming vore, but with a power like his, it seems like the most likely route to take it.
I definitely do what I love, there's no doubt about that! But I appreciate the support, nonetheless. : ) I'll do my best~
Re: Potential Vore Saga... Would anyone want to read it?
I am reading the blogs a bit backwards here, but if you decide to write stories with characters from series, do please describe them.

the day dawned brilliantly and we decided to go check out Palermo…and here's the desk at the hotel..lovely secretarial desk with pc's…bit incongruous.
decided to take the train..some of the views from the station…
we didnt find any places to sit, it was very crowded, but the trip was only about 40minutes so not too bad.
there's a lovely square in front of the train station.
with a beautiful building for the train station…
We walked down the Via Maqueda to the church district..it was dusty architecture. I so wished you could take a hose to it.
lovely place
loads of traffic through.
massive clunky stuff
oh hello…not very happy here are we?
strangely enough, loads of bengali's here…
some skulls lined up there…
bit of graffiti protesting against austerity
lots of horse drawn carriages…
and we reach the Chiesa di San Cataldo
its a fascinating church of Arabian and Normal architectural mixes.
with domes on top. The church was built around 1100 AD.
its still under restoration.
lovely lovely stone filigree windows.
this side door was closed, so we went around the back
nice waste basket
a lovely plaque
the view of the 3 domes is wonderful from inside. truly brilliant.
the Norman influence can be seen in the columns..
the little alcoves are so cute.
more plaques
the cross
the most fantastic mosaic on the floor, and this chap was fixing them…
I just cannot get over the beautiful domed roof.
the pews
the columns look Corinthian at first blush but the carvings are very intricate, almost arabesque in nature.
…this is such an amazing church, loved it. the stern forbidding Norman walls with the beautiful flowing Arabic curves and domes…exquisite…

text: There are some great boosters but we are lacking boosters for animals in particular sheep or goats. In my recent bingo derby i lost mainly due to the time consuming wool task which takes 6 hours to produce and i needed 63 for the task, thats over 24 hours on 1 task and the other teams reached top 3 whilst I'm stuck on the first task! Its worse if your playing on your own or in a team of two. The sheep task is time consuming and shouldn't be included in mystery derby or bingo unless its a relatively small number that is achievable (and doesn't take over 24 hours especially since it cant be speeded up.....)Twice i have lost to the sheep in various derbys........Surely its not just me who thinks that????

Micropigmentation or semi-permanent make-up could make your life that little bit easier. This is a very specialized technique that we provide in line with our very high standards. NPM dye is implanted into the skin to create a long-lasting definition of eyebrows, eyeliner and lips coloring.
We use a specialized machine and disposable needles in order to implant the color into your skin with precision. It's a delicate undertaking that will be performed in the most sterile conditions, in order to guarantee the result you are looking for. We can achieve beautiful results with our micropigmentation procedure – and there are many benefits to take into account when considering the treatment:
- No more pencil required
- You will save time on makeup application every day
- Sparse lashes can look fuller and more luscious
- Brows can become more even in shape and color
- It won't smudge if you perspire, or rub away when you wash your face
Micropigmentation is mildly uncomfortable, but the numbing cream will help to reduce the discomfort – and the results are well worth it. Colors will be carefully chosen and blended to find the perfect match for you – resulting in a natural look that will illuminate your eyes and shape your eyebrows.
Treatment will take 2 to 3 hours, and it may be necessary to re-treat the area 4 to 6 weeks after the original treatment due to initial color fade. 30–50% of people will experience some fade to start with – but, after the second treatment, it should last from 1 to 3 years, depending on your skin type and chosen color.

WATERLOO, Ont. — Google has mapped thousands of indigenous lands in Canada.
Google Canada employee Tara Rush says the company has been conducting mapping workshops with indigenous communities since 2014.
She says Google employees were asked why the lands weren't on Google Maps, so they decided to change that.
Rush says over 3,000 indigenous lands, reserves and territories have been added to Google Maps and Google Earth.
Akwesasne Reserve No. 15 in Quebec. (Credit: Google Maps)
She says it's an important step in accurately reflecting Canada to Canadians and the world.
Rush says the goal is to enhance cultural preservation, digital awareness and land management.
"The hope is to use tools like Google Earth to preserve knowledge and to update Google Maps to reflect federally-recognized Canadian territories," said Rush, who works at Google in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ont., and is from the Akwesasne territory.
Not all lands are reflected in the map. People from indigenous communities who want to either add theirs or contribute information about businesses or addresses can contact the Base Map Partner Program if they are part of a government or use the "Send Feedback" tool on Maps if they're an individual.

i have a question on using 529 plans for my son. (< 1 yr)
i plan to setup a college savings plan. but i have a query that i could not find on google to my satisfaction.
can i use the funds in 529 to pay for my son's education for ANY college ? Example: san jose state university SJSU in san jose CA or say, berkley or Mission college santa clara CA or any other college he may choose to go to or is accepted by.
i ask because i do not see those named as ""eligible educational institutions"" as per the list found here : https://www.irs.gov/individuals/eligible-educational-inst
All three of the colleges that you mention are on the list. It would be very unusual to find a reputable college, university or vocational school in the United States that was not an eligible educational institution.
thanks for the quick response. interestingly when i filtered by the state code i did not see the colleges i referred to above. when i specifically searched for them in the college name field i see it.
thanks .

I am currently having an issue with am installation of PSNext in my environment, we have an older version of PSnext that is running in the environment, however it worked well with older versions of Java installed on hte user's computers up until version 7, we then upgraded to version 8 on the user's computers and now PSnext will not run, can anyone advise on how we cna get it to work with java version 8.
the only information i have about the PSnext is the following, Server version : 1.9h (build 570)
and its a 2006 version
I think that you should ask your Sciforma representative; the reason PSNext does not longer work could be that Java 8 is not compatible with your current PSNext version

Shipard scores on return
Canberra United is on top of the table and returning star Sally Shipard capped her emotional comeback with a rare goal in a record-equalling thumping of the lowly Newcastle Jets.
Everything went right for the Green Machine as it survived the 38-degree heat to put the Jets to the sword with a 5-0 flogging on Saturday.
The biggest cheer from the 662 fans at McKellar Park was reserved for Shipard, who found the back of the net after just 10 minutes in her first game back from career-threatening knee injuries.
It was the champion midfielder's first game for the season and just her sixth in the past two campaigns.
The 57-game Matildas veteran was ecstatic to get through her 45 minutes of action unscathed before being replaced at half-time.
"It felt like an emotion I hadn't felt in a while," Shipard said.
"I didn't really feel like I've been away from the game all that long, but I guess my lungs knew very different.
"It was a great game to come back and I'm very chuffed about the amount of support I've had to get back out there."
The timing of Shipard's return couldn't be better now there are just two weeks until the finals.
Shipard, the 2011-12 W-League player of the year in United's championship season, injured her right knee while playing in Germany in 2012, and was restricted to just five games last season.
She was supposed to make her comeback two months ago, but suffered swelling in her left knee.
But all that was forgotten when she fired the ball into the back of the net from close range off a perfect assist from teammate Lori Lindsey.
United coach Liesbeth Migchelsen's side has won four games in a row, including the last three in the space of six days, to rocket to the top of the ladder.
While Sydney FC can reclaim top spot with a win against the Western Sydney Wanderers on Sunday, United can clinch the league championship and a chance at a home grand final when it faces the Sky Blues in a week's time.
United quickly established its dominance in handing the Jets an 11th straight loss this season. Super striker Michelle Heyman opened the scoring in the seventh minute.
Shipard doubled the advantage before defender Ellie Brush scored from a header. Second-half strikes from Georgia Yeoman-Dale and Jennifer Bisset rounded out a superb team performance.
The result equals the biggest winning margin in United's six-year history and also equals the most goals the team has scored in a single game.
CANBERRA UNITED 5 (Michelle Heyman 7m, Sally Shipard 10m, Ellie Brush 27m, Georgia Yeoman-Dale 46m, Jennifer Bisset 63m) bt NEWCASTLE JETS 0 at McKellar Park. Referee: Rebecca Durcau.

We guess the starvation is over, as BMG and TeamEsko presents "BALLING". probably the most anticipated debut single by Nigerian hip-hop artist Bobbo .
The AfroTrap is produced by the talented in-house producer Dj Morris.I guess, pressure really creates diamonds, as the baller is from the streets of 042, dirty from ASATA and his fearfully the recent most sorted after artist in ENUGU. From closed sources within the finance department of the STATE, the young artist has been adamantly violating the new Rules of the balling control team, setup by the Government of Enugu state. 'Balling' is a track from his forthcoming project "LICENSE" the mixtape, probably dropping after he gets his license,he said when asked on an interview last year,by the Hollaandlouis team. The Traphit, club ready tune is definitely set to get people Balling at the press of the play button.
Enjoy the jam


text: CAN'T WE JUST START OVER? Make a new beginning and do it all again, only better? This sentiment, echoed in some form in so many conversations today, is—as most students of art history will know—as much one of modernism's motivating myths as it is a refrain of contemporary malaise. The fantasy of a fresh start is fundamental to how innumerable artists have imagined what it means to make art at all, and, by extension, how it might promise to make the world more like one they would wish to inhabit. The powerful image of the blank slate is so persistent in part because it is adaptable to almost any

In the summer of Richard Rodgers Centennial, his music was celebrated in grand style from music sheds to bandshells, from the Hollywood Bowl to Royal Albert Hall. On the Fourth of July, hundreds of pops concerts nationwide paid tribute to Rodgers; channel-surfers watching network coverage of that evenings festivities would have heard Rodgers music on NBC (as part of the Macys Fireworks Spectacular) and on ABC (Peter Jennings special on American music) as well as performed by Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops on the banks of the Charles River (POPS GOES THE FOURTH! on A&E), and Erich Kunzel and the National Symphony Orchestra on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol (A CAPITOL FOURTH on PBS).
One weekend in August typifies the richness and variety of the summertime offerings: on Friday night August 16, John Mauceri and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra hosted RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN AT THE MOVIES D0 an extraordinary event that matched film clips from the R&H movie musicals on the worlds largest movie screen to symphonic accompaniment played live by a 100-piece orchestra; in Chicago, Club Maxims featured a snazzy cabaret songfest of Rodgers; and in Harlem, Dr. Billy Taylors Jazzmobile presented a Rodgers jazz concert in the ampitheatre that Rodgers gave to New York City in 1970, in the neighborhood park he played in as a boy. On Saturday of that same weekend, Mauceri and the HBO presented the second night of its R&H tribute to another capacity crowd of 18,000 while in London, David Charles Abell conducted the BBC Concert Orchestra in a Rodgers tribute at Royal Albert Hall as part of the summertime Proms series. (As for Sunday night of that weekend, orchestra batons were quiet though Rodgers was instead being feted on Broadway, where it was opening night for a new revival of THE BOYS FROM SYRACUSE;
The first big concert events of the summer were presentations of CAROUSEL in early June, at Carnegie Hall and Royal Festival Hall. R&H President Ted Chapin was at both, as well as several of the other summertime celebrations, and here reports some observations:
Websters Second Edition defines ""concert"" as follows: ""loosely, any public musical performance at which various individual compositions are rendered, as opposed to the performance of a single work such as an opera."" That was in 1941; for a complete modern definition, especially as it relates to the Richard Rodgers Centennial, we have to hang somewhat on that ""loosely,"" since in addition to the variety of pieces making up an evenings presentation, a single work performed ""in concert"" has become fashionable. Both individual shows and potpourris were in evidence this year, largely inspired by the notion of joining in the Centennial Celebrations.
A week did not go by this summer without our hearing about tributes paid at concerts large and small -and around the world. Our Centennial Website listed those events we knew about, but we know there were hundreds of others we hadnt been aware of. Friends going back home to visit parents reported on band concerts in town greens and gazebos; we also heard about school salutes by marching bands and even impromptu sing-alongs.
Many of our most loyal collaborators in the concert field used this year as an inspiration for some creative programming. John Mauceri, long a champion of Rodgers music and a programming maverick in his position as the conductor of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, chose to focus two evenings on RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN AT THE MOVIES. Leaning on the neighborhoods main industry, he showed clips from many of the great Hollywood versions of the R&H shows while playing the orchestral accompaniment live. Earlier in the summer he made his Chicago Symphony debut in a rousing Rodgers tribute at the Ravinia Festival with a panoply of artists ranging from John Raitt to Sylvia McNair.
Erich Kunzel, another loyal investigator of the Rodgers canon, included rarities like the 1937 oratorio ""All Points West"" in several of his concerts. Knowing that much of his audience wants those well known Rodgers and Hammerstein songs, they were there, but after some diversions. His Capitol Fourth concert broadcast live from Washington also included a dance interpretation to ""The Carousel Waltz."" Keith Lockhart, along with Maureen McGovern, led The Boston Pops in a Rodgers tribute -complete with sing along - as part of their July 4th outdoor concert on the Esplanade overlooking the Charles River. His rousing Springtime Rodgers evenings at the Pops were made into two PBS programs that were shown throughout the summer.
As for musicals in concert, there were several this year, including A CONNECTICUT YANKEE done with full orchestra by 42nd Street Moon in San Francisco, but in an event status of their own were concert performances on both sides of the Atlantic of Rodgers personal favorite: CAROUSEL.
The first CAROUSEL concert, on June 6, provided New York with an all-star, one night sellout at Carnegie Hall, where Hugh Jackman made his New York debut as Billy Bigelow playing opposite Audra McDonald as Julie. Leonard Slatkin conducted the Orchestra of St. Lukes, with direction by Walter Bobbie and a script adapted by Bobbie and John Weidman. Judy Kaye was Nettie Fowler, Lauren Ward and Jason Danieley played Carrie and Enoch Snow, and Norbert Leo Butz was Jigger. (Blythe Danner and Philip Bosco played the non-singing roles of Mrs. Mullin and the Starkeeper, respectively.) A special guest spot was reserved for John Raitt - whose first appearance following ""The Carousel Waltz"" brought the audience to its feet. The glorious original dance music, so often cut or changed in production, was presented in its entirety.
A week later, London presented CAROUSEL at Royal Festival Hall, conducted by David Charles Abell with the BBC Orchestra and an international cast including an American, Emily Loesser, as Julie and an Australian, Spencer MacLaren, as Billy. It was equally thrilling, and London was so enamored of the idea of Rodgers in concert that one of the August Proms at Royal Albert Hall was devoted to OKLAHOMA!, centered around the irrepressible performance of Aunt Eller by Maureen Lipman, who starred in the recent Royal National Theatreproduction. Using a script prepared by William Hammerstein for a 25th Anniversary concert at the New York Philharmonic in 1968, this presentation was conducted by David Charles Abell and directed by Kenneth Richardson. Joining Lipman were Brent Barrett as Curly, Lisa Vroman as Laurey and Klea Blackhurst as Ado Annie.
We have no way of knowing when the first composition by Richard Rodgers made its way to a concert hall. We do know that he conducted concerts himself at Lewisohn Stadium in upper Manhattan starting in 1948, and we know that classic concert arrangements were prepared by Robert Russell Bennett and others through the years. But with the increasing interest in doing musicals ""in concert,"" the exploration of what suits the material best continues. Webster certainly hit on the most commonly thought of definition of ""concert,"" but with the success of the Encores! series in New York, and the various other ""musicals in concert"" series around the world, we are clearly in a period where musicals have made their way into the concert hall.
Maybe in its new edition, Websters will have to amend the definition of ""concert"" by adding ""...or the presentation of an entire work provided both the music and the drama are honored."" That would bring things up to date."

What scares you more than a faulty, over-rated, counterfeit cable? If you're like us and work with cables on a daily basis, then you know the answer: nothing.
Shockingly, unscrupulous sellers have found many ways to cut costs on cables, drawing customers in for the low price. But what they don't tell you is that it comes at a price- sacrificing safety, performance, and network stability.
So how do you identify them? Counterfeit cables are bulk cables or cable assemblies sold under false pretenses to undercut legitimate manufacturers. Usually this means the cable specification does not match the actual product construction. Or it could be that the seller falsely implies that a cable meets a particular performance standard or flammability rating such as Category 5E or CMP/Plenum. If you get a low bid for your next cable quote, check these factors to make sure you are getting what you are paying for:

If your job or application requires buying cabling in bulk, then you understand that the term "bulk cable" covers a lot of ground. There are several different types of bulk cable, various ways to use them, and multiple avenues to order from.
Although a factory-terminated cable assembly will suit just about any connectivity application, you still want to be mindful of exceptions. Sometimes the connector on a cable is too big to pass through a narrow conduit or too difficult to fish through a wall or a ceiling. Or the pinning is non-standard, and an off-the-shelf product won't work. Sometimes you won't know the proper length of the cable until you get to your location, so you will be forced to terminate the cable on site. To help you determine what you need, here's a look at a couple of bulk cable types L-com offers and some ordering advice.
Fiber Optic Cable Fiber optic cable is one of the most commonly ordered bulk cable types. Since fiber cable can be run to extreme lengths, it is impossible for anyone to carry factory-terminated cables in all the lengths that may be required. Also, ordering bulk fiber cable isn't the same as ordering for standard fiber optic specifications. When ordering fiber optic bulk cable, there are several factors to keep in mind.
Short fiber cables for patching are generally duplex, with two counts of fiber, or occasionally simplex with one fiber. As you run longer cables or higher counts of cables, it is usually desired to bundle several fibers into a single jacket for convenience and protection when pulling through a conduit. L-com offers two types of cables bundled in this way: breakout style and distribution style.
The biggest difference between breakout style and distribution style is where the Kevlar strength member is used. In breakout style cables, each internal fiber optic cable has its own Kevlar layer within each jacket. This can increase the strength of the entire cable and provide additional strength to each fiber if the outer jacket is stripped away for termination. Usually, due to the thickness of each fiber, breakout style cable has a fewer count of fibers in it compared to distribution style fiber.
Distribution style cable only has one Kevlar layer around all of the fibers within the outer jacket. The advantages of this is that the outer diameter of the whole cable is reduced dramatically, so you can fit it in tighter conduits and carry a higher count of fibers in it. The individual fibers are faster and easier to terminate since you don't have to trim back the Kevlar on each fiber cable.
Whichever style works best for you, fiber optic cables are unique in that you do not need to order in specific "put ups" or order lengths. While there is usually a minimum order length, you can order the bulk fiber cable to whatever length you are likely to need. Note that terminating fiber cables generally requires special training and equipment.
Bulk Ethernet Cabling
Often, bulk Ethernet cabling is used in horizontal runs from a server room to individual drop points at workstations. Because of the sensitivity of the twisted pairs within the cable, it should be spooled carefully in the manufacturer's factory. Once it is pulled off of the spool for use it should not be re-spooled. For this reason many distributors can only sell the bulk cable at whatever put up it was spooled at originally, which is usually 1,000 feet.
There is much to know about Ethernet cabling, such as jacket material, shielding and flexibility, but most important is whether the conductors are stranded or solid. Solid conductors are more popular in horizontal runs because they are much easier to terminate in IDC jacks at the drop points, while stranded conductors are more flexible and best suited for use as patch cables.
There's more... In addition to the many variations of Fiber Optic and Ethernet bulk cable; there is also bulk cable for USB, RG and Low Loss coax, VGA and SVGA applications and more (all of which L-com carries!).

I enjoy creating design experiences that users love and remember. I believe that design solutions should be simple and intuitive (if it needs a manual, it isn't intuitive!), and I spend most of my time learning how to do this through my own work and through the brilliant work by other members of the design community. I am also a passionate follower of cricket, have a penchant for poor jokes (They are so horrible that they are actually great) and appreciate slow, soulful music.

"If I were to remain silent, I'd be guilty of complicity."
― Albert Einstein
At the beginning of April after the tragic death of a bus load of Humboldt hockey players in Saskatchewan, a Canadian writer issued a tweet;
It was the tweet heard around Canada, and it was sickeningly ill-timed and in poor taste. Soon afterward she was vilified, trolled and threatened with bodily harm, rape and death. **I want to be clear, I do not support or condone ANY of the horrendous and vile words that were spewed in her direction. I do not wish this woman ill-will nor do I think she is a horrible human being. But I did not agree with her statement. She exercised her right to free speech, and sadly the consequence was a horrible week online for her and anyone associated with her who publicly agreed with her.
But while her tweet was tactless and agenda driven, she did bring up an issue that was sorely under-pinned in Canada. Her point, while poorly communicated, is that systemic racism exists in North America. She drove that point home over and over again, especially when people would respond with such vitriol and blind hatred in response to her persistent and unapologetic argument.
The conversation about racism has been brought into the social consciousness due to a variety of factors, mostly because a new and rising generation–one not immune to prejudice–are speaking up in defiance of a system that has unbalanced the scales for far too long. Another because polarizing political structures in the U.S. and Canada have become ever more divisive due to a wider expanse between conflicting ideologies.
I started to see examples that inspired me to look further at this issue, rather than assume I was immune to this issue.
Sandra Oh, who played Christina Yang on one of my favourite television shows was interviewed by Vulture, and she revealed to the interviewer that when she was initially offered the part for her new television show Killing Eve, she didn't realize that she was being offered the lead role.
[So] many years of being seen [a certain way], it deeply, deeply, deeply affects us. It's like, how does racism define your work? Oh my goodness, I didn't even assume when being offered something that I would be one of the central storytellers. Why? And this is me talking, right? After being told to see things a certain way for decades, you realize, "Oh my god! They brainwashed me!" I was brainwashed! So that was a revelation to me.
–Sandra Oh
A talented, and brilliant woman who has worked tirelessly in her field and has won accolades for her performances doubted that she was leading-lady material. This woman was born to stand out, yet the pervasive prejudice that exists within our systems of society told her that she didn't fit the mold.
Naomi Wadler, an 11-year old from Alexandria, made headlines on March 24th when she gave a rousing speech during the Rally in Washington, D.C for the March 4 Our Lives Event. She was interviewed extensively after the event, and in an interview with Elle Magazine she says:
I once had a social studies teacher who made it out to be that black people in the past had more freedom than they did, and I knew it wasn't true. She said basically they didn't have to fight in wars, they could run away, and that running away from slavery was so easy. I felt like it made all the white kids around me believe that slavery, segregation, racism were not that big of a deal.
And once, in third grade, a boy and I were playing a game, and he said how I should be the slave or the beggar woman because I'm black, so I can't have money. I'm Jewish, too, and that same boy told me that I can't be a black Jew because there aren't black people who are Jews.
–Naomi Sadler
One week ago, two young men were arrested after sitting at a Starbucks while waiting for a friend. Their skin colour alone was the reported mitigating factor in why law enforcement was called in that situation that escalated into a nationwide incident. The incident has provoked Starbucks to respond by closing all of their U.S. based stores in order to conduct bias-education for their entire employee base. A bold move for sure, but one that seems is increasingly necessary in a society where people of colour are being shot and killed or arrested in suspicious circumstances that seem to be related to race.
Prejudice is taught. Prejudice is ignorance in action, and it has to stop. The more we deny it, the less we're able to have a civil discussion about it.
But even the discussion has become a war of words and sound bites. It's not enough to simply shove our view point down the throat of others and then run away. (Or log off our computers) There needs to be intentional discussion with respect and dignity. Purporting one race over another has never been acceptable, so turning the tables on the balance of power is not the answer. The idea that "white identity" is being lost amidst multi-culturalism and diversity is a fear that is being fuelled through evangelist style media reporting from the alt-right. And the issue is becoming a hostile hot bed of the ugliest side of humanity coming into the light.
There has to be a point where we stop, and listen to the experiences and the truth that belongs to people of colour. Certain sects of society balk at the idea that white privilege is even a phenomenon, but when I think about it closely I realize all too quickly that the colour of my skin has never given anyone reason to fear me or be suspect of me. It has never denied me an opportunity or respect.
I remember an incident when I was a teenager working in a retail store. One of my co-workers, who was one of my superiors, instructed me to follow a shopper around the store because she looked "suspect". I did as I was told because I was the young employee, but other than the colour of her skin I had no reason to see what my co-worker saw. The woman I was instructed to follow was a person of colour, she had long braids in her hair, and she was wearing a large denim jacket. I remember the jacket because I was hoping it was the reason she was targeted, and not because of her skin colour. But then the woman caught me skulking around her while she browsed through children's clothes. She knew what I was about, and called me on it. I was horrified and speechless. She was mortified and furious. And in hindsight, I couldn't blame her. She left the store without purchasing a thing.
Twenty years later, and we are no more evolved as a society. The incident from my teens illustrated that prejudice did indeed exist, it was just disguised behind a different rationale. It's subtle, and deceptive. But now there are hoards of people speaking up, and shouting at the top of their lungs, "It's NOT okay!" It's not okay to assume someone is suspicious because of their skin colour. It's not okay to assume their intelligence level because of their race or country of origin. It's not okay to assume someone is incompetent because their first language isn't English. It's not okay to assume that someone is criminal because they have darker skin. It's NOT OKAY. If our foundation of belief about a person or people group is rooted in the colour of someone's skin or their country of origin, then the problem begins and ends there. And it is that mindset that needs to change.
This quote, written by Dr. Debra Soh for the Globe and Mail was so inspiring yet sobering at the same time:
What is racist is placing such an emphasis on immutable characteristics a person had no say in obtaining. As an Asian woman, the way I look has no bearing on the way I think, and to assume otherwise is close-minded and patronizing.
What struck me so powerfully about this is her articulation of something so profound that it transcends the racism issue. There is a belief in North American culture of what defines normal: white, male, attractive, skinny, blonde, blue eyed, tall, able-bodied, straight, and rich. There are a few exceptions to this list, however, anything outside this "norm" is considered less-than. The amount of things on this list that can be controlled by any individual are few. We are born into circumstances and into our bodies– yet we are judged and discriminated against by the very things we have no control over.
Most people would deny they're racist. I deny I am racist. I do not believe that I hold intentional judgements against people of another race or ethnicity from me.
Yet, truth be told, I have.
I HAVE made initial judgements about someone because of their ethnicity.
I HAVE made jokes about people groups that aren't my own.
I HAVE mocked someone else's accent.
I HAVE made assumptions about a people group because of their ideology or their religion.
I HAVE discriminated against someone because of how they dressed or how they smelled or how they spoke.
I WAS WRONG, and I AM ASHAMED.
But what I believe sets me apart is my willingness to be educated and humbled. I am full of remorse for my ignorant mindfulness. And it motivates me to change and adapt my behaviour or thinking in response.
The first step in the evolution of ethics is a sense of solidarity with other human beings.
–Albert Schweitzer
Nora Loreto's timing and tactics were poor when she made her statement that fuelled a fire storm of hate. But she wasn't wrong. Systemic racism and its ugly prejudices need to be exposed and need to be dismantled. Society can not look backward and continue to endorse these narrow-minded and ignorant views of humanity any longer. And once we take that view, we need to take action and do something to correct the behaviour. Only then will things begin to change.

Zogenix Announces Initiation of Phase 3 Trial for ZX008 in Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome
EMERYVILLE, Calif., Nov. 29, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zogenix, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZGNX), a pharmaceutical company developing therapies for the treatment of rare central nervous system (CNS) disorders, today announced that the first child has enrolled in the Phase 3 clinical trial for the Company's lead investigational therapy, ZX008, as an adjunctive treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS).
"LGS is a rare, devastating form of epilepsy that disrupts the lives of patients and their families, who are usually unable to control their seizures despite treatment with a number of existing therapeutic options," said Associate Professor Kelly Knupp, M.D., MSCS, FAES of Children's Hospital Colorado, and Principal Investigator of the U.S. arm of the trial. "There is a significant need for new medicines that can substantially reduce seizure activity in LGS, and I am hopeful that this Phase 3 trial of ZX008 may offer hope to the children and adults living with this debilitating condition."
The Phase 3 multicenter, global LGS trial is divided in two parts. Part 1 is a double-blind, placebo-controlled investigation to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of ZX008, low-dose fenfluramine, when added to a patient's current anti-epileptic therapy. The trial will include two dose levels of ZX008 (0.2 mg/kg/day and 0.8 mg/kg/day, up to a maximum daily dose of 30 mg), as well as placebo. After establishing baseline seizure frequency for 4 weeks, randomized patients will be titrated to their dose over a 2-week titration period, followed by a 12-week fixed dose maintenance period. Zogenix is targeting a total of 225 patients (75 per treatment arm) in the trial. The primary endpoint of the clinical trial is change in the number of seizures that result in drops between baseline and the combined titration and maintenance periods at the 0.8 mg/kg/day dose. The key secondary endpoints include change in the number of seizures that result in drops between baseline and the combined titration and maintenance periods at the 0.2 mg/kg/day dose, and the proportion of patients achieving a 50 percent reduction in drop seizures. Part 2 of the clinical trial will be a 12-month open-label extension to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and effectiveness of ZX008.
The initiation of this Phase 3 program follows a Phase 2 open-label, dose-finding investigator-initiated clinical trial of ZX008 for the treatment of LGS that was conducted by Lieven Lagae, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at the University of Leuven, Belgium, Head of the Pediatric Neurology Department. The interim Phase 2 results were presented at the 70th Annual Meeting of the American Epilepsy Society in December 2016. Of the 13 subjects enrolled, seven (54 percent) achieved at least a 50 percent reduction in the number of major motor seizures, with a range of 50 percent to 90 percent improvement. In addition, there was an approximately 2-fold increase in the number of responders (with a reduction of 50 percent or greater) on a dose of 0.4 mg/kg/day vs. 0.2 mg/kg/day. Importantly, per protocol, dose escalation stopped when a patient's major motor seizure frequency was reduced by ≥50 percent of baseline.
"Following the recent positive top-line results from our first Phase 3 clinical trial for ZX008 in Dravet syndrome, the initiation of this Phase 3 program in LGS represents another important clinical milestone for our ZX008 development program in intractable childhood-onset epilepsy syndromes," said Gail M. Farfel, Ph.D., Chief Development Officer of Zogenix. "Based on these results, as well as those from the investigator-initiated study led by Professor Lagae, we are excited to evaluate the potential of ZX008 as a safe and effective treatment for children and adult patients with LGS."
ZX008 for the treatment of LGS has previously been designated as an orphan drug by both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Commission. The Phase 3 trial is planned for up to 85 sites in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, South Africa and Australia.

A journalist asked me this question at the end of an engaging interview I gave recently when discussing the DarkMatter Group strategy focusing on "smart and safe digital" (our motto). The overall context of our conversation was the accelerated imperative for the iterative approach to digital transformation and the commensurate requirement for the much-needed resilience in cyber security.
The immediate answer I gave was the "human factor". She was surprised, and I didn't offer any Socratic explanation beyond these two words. We agreed to leave it at that, and follow-up on this topic in a future conversation.
So is the human factor the biggest threat in an era of smart and safe digital? I would posit that it is the case. In an environment where digital is transforming and bettering the way we do things, and challenging along its path the status quo, our immunity to change is our most formidable enemy (Pogo was right).
I often refer to this condition as the predicament of incumbency. Nowhere it is more visible than in institutional settings, public and private, where self-preservation is pervasive. Counterintuitively, this very same goal which should serve as an incentive for dynamic evolution becomes an insurmountable impediment for change.
In such a scenario, digital potentials are dwarfed by analogue inertia until the needed digital disruptions come both from outside and from within. This is when incumbent institutions are compelled to attempt their semblance of accelerated transformation before they realize that all their belated efforts amount to too-little-too-late. And at the same time, the generation accustomed to leveraging digital means to achieve things enters the work force and transforms from within.
In the realm of cyber security, the predicament of incumbency is manifested by the narrow thinking of defending the digital perimeter of an institution through massive fortifications. This often results in a static fortress model which is at odds with the dynamic and distributed nature of cyber risks. Using a historical analogy, this would equate to defending a strategic position through a Maginot Line like model in a 21st century always-evolving warfare scenario.
The biggest threat is indeed the human factor, but it can be also the biggest strength. This is when incumbency is replaced by ingenuity, deterministic thinking is replaced by evolutionary foresight, and binary decision making is replaced by evolutionary initiatives. This could be, in fact, the topic of my next conversation with the journalist.

Beth has changed my life. At the beginning I was a bit sceptic and unsure if Beth could help me on my journey. But from my first chat with her on the phone I knew she was the right person. I have anxiety, was always busy and rushing from one thing to another, whether it was caring for my children, to working and generally running a household. I thought that was just life and the way it was. I didn't know how to change it. Beth has helped me change my mindset. She has taught me and guided me on a journey to look after myself first, and to slow down and enjoy life more. I'm still on this journey with Beth to help and support me. Her wisdom and messages resonate with me and keep me taking that step forward to a happier and healthier life. Beth is like a friend that gently pushes you along in the right direction, without feeling overwhelmed. I am truly grateful for this journey with Beth.
- Sandra, VIC
I was lucky enough to discover Beth at a time when I was completely burnt out, exhausted and incredibly fragile. Beth's blog posts seemed to really speak to me and I instantly felt that she would be the right person to help get myself back to a state of wellness. Beth's knowledge and her kindness helped me not only get back on track with my health, but also, offered me a space where I felt instantly nurtured and heard. After just one session I felt supported, connected, at ease and comfortable enough to (almost) burst into tears! Thank you Beth, for giving so much of yourself, for 'getting it' and caring so much about life purpose.
- Bianca, VIC
How do I describe Beth in writing?! This woman is incredible! I just wish everyone would book in for a session with Beth – you will not regret it.
Beth has absolutely changed my life – she is so empowering and empathetic, yet firm. Once upon a time I would burn myself out in an attempt to please people. Fast track 2 years later, under the guidance of Beth – not the case anymore! A combination of changing 'habits', losing the need to 'please people' and taking some amazing supplements, I feel like a new person. Beth is super easy to talk to, there is no sense of judgement and her advice is realistic. Do yourself a favor and book a consultation with her.
- Hannah, WA
To work with Beth is like letting go of a deep breath I've been holding onto forever. Every session with Beth is like a breath of fresh air that teaches me so much, and gives me permission to just 'be'. Working with Beth has been the best, most valuable thing I have done for my health and life to date.
- Jennah, NSW
- Kristie, WA
I feel in tune with my body for the first time in my life and it's all thanks to Beth! Not only are her recommendations honest and achievable for the everyday busy woman, but they all come from a place of genuine empathy, concern, and a desire to truly change someone's life for the better.
Beth's willingness to share her journey so openly is refreshing, and has helped me realise that everyone, no matter their circumstances, faces challenges with their physical and emotional wellbeing – but that there is always a way to find balance.
- Sarah, NSW
Each week when one of Beth's emails pops up in my inbox it's like a deep breath of fresh air or a warm ray of sunshine in my day…most importantly they always serve as an important reminder to slow down (!!!), and to continually work towards taking good care of myself. An incredibly important thing to be reminded of in this day and age!
Although I work in the field of mental health care and am constantly speaking to my clients about the importance of self-care, it can become all too easy to ignore our own advice when we get caught up in the daily hustle and bustle of life. One of the things I love and respect most about Beth (both as a dear friend who I have known for many years, and as a professional) is her commitment to practicing what she preaches, and leading by example. She writes with such heartfelt wisdom, and approaches a wide range of topics that are so important to modern women with such a genuine passion.
Beth, thank you for your ongoing work towards helping all women take good care of themselves and find a point of balance in their lives.
- Olivia, WA
I can't recommend Beth enough! Beth has the talent to help reveal aspects or insights into your given situation that you may not have otherwise connected to. The potential for profound healing and developing a deeper connection to your truer, more passionate Self are inevitable outcomes of the caring, supportive and attentive coaching that Beth provides.
- Philippa, NSW
I have known Beth for a number of years as a friend and fellow naturopath peer. While working together through different life tasks the most extraordinary thing that comes to mind is her honesty and drive to live, breathe & offer her authentic self.
I am inspired by her determination to support and encourage women around the globe to live the lives they have always imagined – happy, at peace, connected to their bodies and content with their health. If you want a REAL woman supporting REAL women, Beth is the right naturopath for you.
- Amanda, WA

Photo of the Day
Yesterday I photographed the first round of the Women's NCAA Tournament here in West Lafayette. I photographed both games for two teams. I will have more on my experience with Oklahoma State tomorrow. Purdue played the second game of the day and took control early and never looked back. The real story of the game though was the 100mm Macro that I was shooting. A fellow photographer gave it to me to just try out for a while just before the start of game 1. Most of my pictures from the day were made with it including the one at the bottom of this post. It was fun testing out new equipment, and I found a new lens to put on the wish list. Why didn't I have a perfect bracket?

Today will be a little different. My photo gallery is up at Purduesports.com. You can view it by clicking here. In the meantime here is one other photo from the day that I liked.

2nd Thursday January
White Star Lodge was conceived aboard the yacht "White Star" in 1974, and was consecrated by the Grand Secretary on 13th January 1977. The First Master was RW Bro Guy Halsey, Provincial Grand Master. The Founders included members or past members of the Executive of the Craft, Royal Arch and Mark Degrees. It was envisaged as a forum for discussions between the members of the Executives of all the Orders of the Province.
