"A Concise Statement which is too vague to allow the court to identify the issues raised on appeal is the functional equivalent to no Concise Statement at all." Commonwealth v. Dowling, 778 A.2d 683, 686-87 (Pa. Super. 2001).
Had the attorneys being sued in Epstein v. Saul Ewing remembered that, a lot of judicial resources could have been spared as well as a lot of headaches for both sides. Alan B. Epstein, Esquire and Spector Gadon & Rosen lost a rather heart wrenching case because their attorneys, Saul Ewing, LLP failed to be concise enough for the court and ultimately, by trying to plead too much, cost their clients what should have been a straight forward case.
In 1987, shortly after her birth, Tara M. was adjudicated dependent, and the Philadelphia Department of Human Services ("DHS") was given custody of the child and placed her in foster care. In 1991, Nancy Kanter, Esquire was appointed as child advocate or guardianad litem for Tara M. In February 1996, then nine-year-old Tara M. was hospitalized; it was subsequently revealed that Tara M. had been sexually and physically abused by her pre-adoptive foster family. On March 6, 1996, Ms. Kanter was re-appointed as guardian ad litem for Tara M., and on March 19, 1996, Ms. Kanter received the additional appointment of guardian of the child's estate.
Ms. Kanter concluded that Tara M. had meritorious causes of action against various entities and could recover damages for the injuries that she sustained while in foster care. Ms. Kanter met with attorney Alan P. Epstein and referred him the case. At that time, Mr. Epstein was a member of the law firm of Jablon, Epstein, Wolf & Drucker, P.C. ("Jablon").
Ms. Kanter, in her capacity as guardian of the estate and guardian ad litem of Tara M., agreed to a fee arrangement with Mr. Epstein and Jablon, whereby they would receive one-third of any recovery on behalf of Tara M. The written retainer agreement entered into between Ms. Kanter as guardian of Tara M. and Mr. Esptein and Jablon failed to indicate the existence of any arrangement that Ms. Kanter would receive a portion of the attorneys' fees earned by Mr. Epstein and Jablon.
Mr. Epstein and Jablon then instituted a federal civil rights action (the "Tara M. litigation") against the City of Philadelphia and others who negligently contributed to the events leading to Tara M.'s injuries. Ms. Kanter, in her capacity as guardian of the estate and guardian ad litem of Tara M., was the named plaintiff in that federal action.
Ms. Kanter was thereafter joined as a third-party defendant because she had been Tara M.'s guardian ad litem during the period when the abuse was perpetrated upon the child. During the course of the Tara M. litigation, Jablon merged with Spector
In 2001, a $4,310,000 settlement was reached in the Tara M. litigation against all defendants; Ms. Kanter's professional liability insurance carrier contributed to this settlement amount on Ms. Kanter's behalf.
The federal court approved the settlement and awarded Epstein and Spector Gadon & Rosen (SGR) $1,293,000 in attorneys' fees. Ms. Kanter then demanded one-third of that fee, which Epstein and SGR refused to pay, asserting that they had never agreed to pay Ms. Kanter a one-third referral fee. Epstein and SGR also asserted that Ms. Kanter was legally precluded from receiving such a fee based upon her status as guardian of the estate and guardian ad litem of Tara M. when the federal action was initiated.
Ms. Kanter then instituted a case against Epstein and SGR, asserting claims for breach of contract and conversion and seeking punitive damages. In that action, Ms. Kanter sought $430,569, which constituted one-third of the attorneys' fees of $1,293,000.
Epstein and SGR countered that Mr. Epstein never agreed to pay Ms. Kanter a referral fee and that Ms. Kanter had an impermissible conflict of interest legally precluding her from recovering a referral fee. Epstein and SGR sought to have Ms. Kanter's one-third referral fee request dismissed based upon the conflict-of-interest defense. That motion was denied, but the trial court did permit evidence and argument to be submitted to the jury on the question of whether Ms. Kanter had a conflict of interest that prevented her from recovering her requested one-third referral fee.
The trial court ordered Epstein and SGR to file "concise statements of the issues to be raised on appeal". However, in total, Epstein and SGR identified 104 issues in their 15 page Statements. Furthermore, many of the issues identified by each of the Defendants also included multiple sub-issues.
The applicable rule is:
The statement of the questions involved must state the question or questions in the briefest and most general terms, without names, dates, amounts or particulars of any kind. It should not ordinarily exceed 15 lines, must never exceed one page, and must always be on a separate page, without any other matter appearing thereon. This rule is to be considered in the highest degree mandatory, admitting of no exception; ordinarily no point will be considered which is not set forth in the statement of questions involved or suggested thereby. Pa.R.A.P. 2116(a).
Obviously, the court ruled against them, saying "The Defendants breached their duty of fair dealing with this Court when they: . . . entered snap judgments after agreeing in open court [and in writing] to an extension of Rule 227.4; . . . and when they filed 1925(b) Statements that raised substantially more issues than they will be permitted to address on appeal because of the limitations set forth in [the rules]" Trial Court Opinion, 2/26/04, at 84-85 (emphasis in original, footnote omitted). Because of this, a legal malpractice claim commenced.
During the legal malpractice case against Saul Ewing, the parties agreed that the issue of whether Epstein and SGR would have obtained appellate relief in the previous case was a question of law. Additionally, they consented to submit to a reviewing court the question of whether Epstein and SGR would have prevailed in this Court as to any issues.
If was finally concluded that if Court had reached the merits, it would have ultimately, as a matter of law, ruled in favor of Epstein and SGR on all important points. What this means for clients is that more is not always better. This case shows that sometimes oversight of your attorney is necessary, to make sure that they are not too long winded, and sometimes need to reign in their legal writings. If not, they too may be faced with a malpractice case.

We're discovering what it looks like to be a disciple of Jesus. Today we find out, in part, what a disciple's possessions look like, or rather, how they're used by a disciple. You serve your possessions and use God, or you serve God and use your possessions. There's not a lot of in between!
Penn Clark shares his story and what he has learned about discipleship. He also looks into what the 5 most important disciplines for a person in their walk with the Lord.
Social media, films and TV can be both a blessing and a curse. This sermon addresses our "media diet," what the Scriptures have to say about them (a lot!), and how we can be the boss of them instead of the other way around.
One of the most misunderstood words in Christianity is the word "discipleship"! And it shouldn't be that way. Today we begin a series of messages on being a disciple of Jesus, what that means and how it can be lived out today. There's a great challenge and opportunity embedded in today's sermon.

I remember the first time a friend of mine took me to a golf course — I was nervous and intimidated. The first thing I noticed was that I was the only female and I felt like I didn't belong there. At the same time, I was very curious about men's fascination with the sport. I remember every Wednesday morning, a prior boss, had his scheduled golf day with his colleagues at the country club. I asked him, what he loved about the game, his response: it's good for business. It was then that I realized I wanted to learn more about the game.
So what's the big deal about golf anyway? For starters, I do have to admit that being on the golf course very early in the morning or late in the evening is a little bit of heaven. The peace and quiet of the course at those times is so relaxing. Obviously I don't recommend you jump on the course right away, first you will need to take lessons before you can actually enjoy the joys of the silence. Most golf courses offer lessons, I took a full day lesson for the basics and it was very helpful. Obviously it didn't make me a pro overnight, but it gave me the confidence to get on the course more often to practice.
As I was practicing on the course with my instructor I looked around and analyzed other players interactions with each other, it was then I realized and understood the interest of the sport. Business people were bonding and closing business deals as they also had fun playing. In today's competitive business environment we can't afford NOT to play golf. Golf is one of the few sports that is widely accepted in the workplace as a place to build relationships, and close deals. Here are a few reasons why golf is good for business:
Top 10 Reasons Why Golf is Good for Business:
- Where else can you spend five quality hours with a company CEO or valued customers? With today's busy schedules most of us are lucky if we can grab lunch or five minutes for that matter!
- You can plan a client meeting in an 'office' surrounded by peace, silence, water, nature and sand instead of four white walls or a noisy restaurant. Better than Yoga ladies.
- Being the only female playing isn't a bad thing ladies, if you want to break into the mens club the odds are good. It's said that only 23% of golfers are women so four times out of five you'll stand out as the only woman in the group. Trust me, it's a good thing.
- You can trade in your business attire and heels for colorful sportswear and comfy shoes. You can find tons of colorful fashion to wear on the course.
- If you want undivided attention from three of your colleagues, you can't beat the first tee (and the seventeen after that) to get them to hear your pitch.
- Build your resume with a leadership position at the next industry or charity tournament looking for volunteers. There's so many opportunities to meet amazing people at these tournaments and you will also be contributing to a good cause.
- Only 10% of all golfers actually score below 100. So relax, and have fun as you are most likely in the majority.
- If you have a positive attitude and practice good etiquette the golf course is unique opportunity to impress your associates with your professional character, regardless of your skill level. You really get to know someone well in such a short time. Plus, you get to see how people behave under pressure as well.
- When the water cooler talk turns to bogies and birdies, you'll be able to participate and get invited to play. That's unless you play really well, because then they'll be too intimidated to play with you.
- It's an opportunity to triple dip with your time! Network for business, engage in a healthy activity and build confidence and skills all at the same time.
Do you need anymore reasons to enjoy a good game?

Joe's NYC Bar Shakes up Mathew's Tavern at this year's Fringe.
On The green lawn of fabulousness a friend and I bumped into actress Marty Stonerock ordering soft serve ice cream. She is one of the actors in Joe's NYC Bar at Mathew's Tavern. She let us know that the show was about to hit the 100th performance landmark. The show we were going to was the 99th. She said there was a good chance we all would be singing 99 Luft Balloons. We arrived a bit early and relaxed in the outdoor beer garden trying to avoid the insidious cigarette smoke. There was only one entrance and we didn't know that a line was forming outside. A car alarm blasted the evening calm for a solid five minutes. Frank, from To be Frank was in line in front of us. I showed her the sketch I did of her performance earlier in in day. Someone who looked down on his luck worked the line offering free advice for $1. The bar owner (Christian Kelty) came out upset and they argued the merits of free advice versus panhandling. If he was panhandling then he should have been in a blue box.
The bar stools were all occupied but are found seats along the wall with a good view of the female guitarist who played acoustic for the pre- show. Three women dressed to the nines were near the guitarist. The bar tender offered the prettiest woman a Jack Daniels. It is impossible to separate the cast from the audience, and the audience joined in some serious heated debates about creative license with other peoples stories, and the right to privacy. A rich yuppie prick (John Connon) bragged about his riches and the number of women he had slept with. (he claimed to be approaching 600.) The guy offering free advice entered the bar. Arguments erupted and a bar stool crashed to the floor. The angry patron (Tim Williams) had to be bounced from the bar. Much later, this angry patron re-entered. The bar owner said he wasn't welcome. The guy was right next to me as he apologized for disrespecting everyone. He spoke from the heart saying he doesn't have a family. The patrons in the bar were his only family. He pointed to several regulars saying, "you are me family" to each. He pointed to me looked me in the eye and said the same. I noticed the woman who had been offered the free drink was choked up. Her eyes sparkled from the tears she tried to hold back. She finally had I wipe a tear a way with her pinkie.
The show seems largely improvised with certain story points being hit throughout.. The rehearsal I sketched a year ago had been completely different. The heartbreak of love lost was discussed at some length. How do you separate from someone you love today? One of the women shouted, "Text message." The bar patrons argued about what matters in the hear and now, the play hit home with plenty of heart. It was an incredible night of theater. Absolute magic.
Prints are available for each sketch for $250 and many originals can be purchased for $400. White museum grade shadow box frames are $100 more. You can e-mail Thor at email@example.com

Medicine Bow National Forest
Spent the weekend at Pole Mountain celebrating my birthday with my husband Brian. We camped out and enjoyed the beauty of the national forest. We explored the area for hours on our Wildcat and barely scratched the surface of this amazing area. One of our favorite to walk and hike. Thank goodness this land is still in federal hands. You can't camp on state lands, and that would have made the weekend less fun.

The exciting news is that we've officially launched the campaign. The bad news is that this website crashed yesterday and is still having problems today. If you are reading this, it means you actually managed to get on. But I think other people are having trouble. What a pain. I hope the rest of the campaign runs more smoothly.

He died in 2006, five years after his diagnosis. The handsome fellow on the left is my father, Alejo. He died in 2008 of colon cancer. This picture was taken when

Summer is here, and soon, children across the country will be sprinting out the school doors. But now that they're out, where will they go?
In a study commissioned by KaBOOM! and conducted by Harris Interactive® of 1,677 parents with children between the ages of 2-12, 59% of parents report that their children don't have access to a community playground. In the lowest income bracket, that number goes up to 69%. KaBOOM!, the national non-profit dedicated to bringing play back into the lives of children, commissioned the study to find out what parents think about play, and how much time their children play outside every day.
In a speech last week, President Obama himself sited the importance of playgrounds in helping our children get into healthier habits, and KaBOOM! has spent the last 14 years building more than 1,600 playgrounds in low-income communities and championing the cause of play in thousands more. This study shows that while the message is getting out about the importance of play in a child's life, children still don't have enough time and space to play every day.
In terms of importance, 96% of parents said that playing outside was critical to keep kids physically fit, but only 17% thought children played enough outside. Parents report that their kids spend less than an hour per day engaged in unstructured play outdoors, on average and 92% of parents say that children today spend less time playing outside than they did when they were growing up.
To help fix the problem, parents also say they're willing to do their fair share of the work to make sure their kids have a place to play. More than half said they'd be willing to help build new playgrounds, fundraise for equipment, and encourage schools to open their playgrounds during non-school hours. KaBOOM! empowers parents to achieve these goals, and has filled its website, kaboom.org, with online tools to give parents step-by-step guidance to build and improve their local playgrounds, work with others in their community, and learn what communities across the nation are doing to increase the amount of play in their kids' lives.
This survey was conducted online within the United States by Harris Interactive on behalf of KaBOOM between March 31 and April 7, 2009, among 1,677 respondents who were selected from among parents with children between the ages of 2-12 who have agreed to participate in Harris Interactive surveys. No estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated; a full methodology is available.

Simple, delicious, and with the July 4th holiday just around the corner this would be a great pound cake or short cake topper, not to mention vanilla ice cream! I cut the recipe in half and use...
We all enjoyed this fruit salad very much. I didn't add much sugar, just a couple tablespoons over the strawberries after I'd cut them, then I folded in the blueberries and bananas. At the last,...

Quick, easy and delicious. Did not add sugar because I thought the fruit was sweet enough. Will definitely use this recipe again.
Delicious! Very fast and easy recipe! Great for any summer get-together and the fact that it looks patriotic is just another plus.
This was a very simple, festive, and tasty salad to make! Instead of sugar, I used about 3-5 tablespoons of honey, and mixed with equal parts lemon and lime juice. The honey created lots of "jui...
Pineapple works great in place of the bananas. Cut back on sugar too.
Loved this! I used a little more than a pint of strawberries, but that was the only change. Thanks!

Advanced Surgical Techniques
Limbal Relaxing Incisions (LRI)–Correction of Astigmatism–In cataract surgery, the most important problem that we are correcting is the clouding of the lens by removing it and placing a crystal clear intraocular lens implant (IOL). This takes away the vision loss caused by the cataract. The second most important part of the surgery is taking away significant nearsightedness or farsightedness by calculating the proper power of the IOL for your eye that will give you good vision (at the focal length you choose). This calculation is generated using very sophisticated laser equipment to measure your eyes unique characteristics, and then plugging this data into advanced mathematical modeling formulas.
If your eye has significant astigmatism however, simply removing the cataract and correcting the nearsightedness or farsightedness with the IOL will not completely clear your vision. Patients with astigmatism have a congenital abnormal curvature to the cornea (front part of the eye), which causes the light from an object of regard to be out of focus. Fortunately, we are now able during cataract surgery to correct astigmatism using tiny peripheral corneal incisions (LRI) that don't materially add to the length or risk of surgery. This technique can significantly improve the likelihood that you will be glasses free for your desired focal length. This surgical correction of your astigmatism is not covered by any health insurance since it is considered "non-medically necessary". We do offer commercial medical financing for these life changing procedures. Learn more about LRI in our LRI Information and Consent section.

Emma & Matt | Prospect Park Picnic House, Brooklyn, NY
June 27, 2017
On a warm spring day, Matt and Emma walked hand-in-hand through Brooklyn's Prospect Park minutes before they exchanged vows under the open sky. Throughout the ceremony and late into the evening, Matt looked at Emma with so much love and tenderness in his eyes, and Emma beamed at him with smiles.
At the elegant and light-filled Picnic House, the couple joined family and friends for dinner. Following a delicious meal, Matt had a special surprise for Emma. He sat down at the piano, joined by his groomsmen on guitar, drums and bass, and sang a ballad to her. There was not a dry eye in the house.
Thank you Emma and Matt for letting us photograph your wedding day.

Season finale baby! Teams are flying from India to Hiroshima Japan. Rachel and Dave leave first and head to the travel agency to book tickets. It looks like all teams are on the same flight, Brendan and Rachel, Art and JJ, and Vanessa and Ralph too. Vanessa's ankle looks all swollen and bruised.
They land and Art and JJ and Vanessa and Ralph pick up tickets at the machine and get on the bus. Brendan and Rachel miss the bus by not getting tickets right away; they're on the next bus, fighting with each other.
First bus arrives and they're all trying to figure out how to get train tickets to get to the island where their next clue is. Brenchel befriended someone on the bus who gave them all the info on how to buy tix and they actually bypass all the other clueless teams struggling to figure it out. Dave and Rachel miss the train, the other three are all caught up on the first train.
The train arrives and now they're buying ferry tickets to the island. The first three are on the last ferry for the night and it leaves before Dave and Rachel get on the boat! Huge advantage for the other three teams! Next ferry is not for 7 hours. They get a room for the night nearby.
The island-bound racers arrive and there's a sign saying "your clue arrives with the rising sun". There goes the advantage, especially since it's still dark at 6:15am when Dave and Rachel finally get a ferry. A man shows up with their clues; they need to go to Hiroshima Peace Park. The teams all pause to take a moment at the sight of the burnt out building. They have to travel to Osaka now via bullet train!
They have to make their way to a TV studio. Vanessa and Ralph and Art and JJ take cabs, the other two teams take the train. The cab is faster. Art and JJ hit the Roadblock and one has to "bring home the chicken" in a crazy Japanese game show. They have to sprint on a treadmill like running track and jump up to grab three rubber chickens hanging from the ceiling. Art is falling all over the place. Vanessa and Ralph are at the wrong place.
Art finishes it, hilariously, and they have to head to the Sky Tower. Vanessa arrives and suits up for the chicken challenge, as does Brendan and Rachel. Bredna breakin rocks the hell out it. Vanesssa's bum ankle is killing her. Rachels's doing Ok but having trouble jumping for the chickens. Brendan finishes quickly, followed by Rachel. Ralph is telling Vanessa to take the penalty but she thinks she can do it. She keeps trying it, it looks painful. She's doing it though! She finally makes it!
Art and JJ arrive at the floating observatory. They have a choice of Detours- either pick up sushi and put it on a bingo card, or take 10 photos with a cardboard cutout. Art and JJ choose sushi. Brenchel chooses sushi too. Rachel and Dave are fighting over his bag being unzipped. Rachel and Dave choose photos, Vanessa and Ralph sushi..
Art and JJ arrive at sushi bingo which looks like a lot of fun even though they have no idea what's going on. Vanessa and Ralph's cab driver is lost. Brenchel is getting it, putting sushi on their bingo grid.
Rachel and Dave are having trouble getting people to take photos with the sumo cutouts. But they get it going and start getting some photos and complete the task first, heading to Osaka Castle for the Pit Stop!
Art and JJ finish their sushi, then eat their sushi and take off in a cab to the castle. Vanessa and Ralph finally arrive at sushi. Rachel is crying because Brendan isn't giving her the right sushi pieces.
Dave and Rachel quickly arrive at the Pit Stop as team number 1! Again. They tied the record for most legs won with 7 first place finishes. They win a trip to New Zealand.
Brenchel gets sushi, eats and leaves. Art and JJ are at the castle but can't find the Pit Stop. Vanessa and Ralph quickly get sushi and take off. Rachel and Brendan zip past Art and JJ and now they're all lost at the castle ground looking for the finish. Art and JJ finally find Phil and the mat and are team number 2. It's a footrace to the finish and Brenchel finds Phil first and are team number 3, the final team racing to the finish for the one million dollars.
Vanessa and Ralph, you are the last team to arrive and are eliminated from the Amazing Race.
Final leg and all teams are heading to Hawaii! On the same flight.
Dave and Rachel's cab is first, Art and JJ are trying to follow them but the cab loses the other. They arrive at a large building and have to hoist themselves up a rope, look for the clue then rappel down. Art and JJ are lost, they haven't solved the clue to their destination yet. They stop in to a hotel to get directions, the guy at the hotel gives them total wrong answers. They get to the statue of a boogie boarder and have to ask someone else, who gives them the right answer.
Dave and Rachel make it to the top of the building and quickly spot the clue in a park across the way. They start to rappel down- face first, reverse Batman style. Scary stuff. Brendan and Rachel make it to the top, see the next clue and start to climb down too.
Art and JJ finally arrive and start climging up the building. JJ doesn't like heights.
Dave and Rachel make it to the Roadblock. They have to use a samurai sword to shave a block of ice. Brenchel shows up close behind. The two men shave the ice. They finish and make their way on foot to some helicopters in the park. Up and away they go.
Oh snap Brenchel takes the car instead of making their way on foot! Penalty ahead! Art and JJ make their way on foot and beat Rachel and Brendan who are lost in a cab they shouldn't have been in. They now have to drive all the way back to undo their mess-up.
Rachel and Dave land and they are at a beach, they have to ride a waverunner and do a mock rescue in the surf. They quickly rescue the swimmer and drag him back to shore. They jump in a cab to their next clue and their cabbie quickly gets lost and backtracks.
Brenchel is back and now Rachel's crying as they walk to the helicopter. She's already given up.
Art and JJ do the rescue task really quickly.
Rachel and Dave arrive at the next task, which is a stand-up paddleboard across a lake.
Art and JJ have to ride a sled down a grassy hill. Multiple tries and he keeps falling off before passing the designated line.
Rachel and Dave arrive at the finish line but UH-OH they didn't follow the marked path and didn't do the Roadblock that Art and JJ are now doing with the sled. Epic error! They start heading back to the Coral Kingdom Gate where the Roadblock is.
Art and JJ's lead is gone. Brenchel just finished the rescue task, they're not far behind. Art keeps trying the sled over and over. Rachel gives it a try and falls off it. Art keeps trying as Rachel makes it past the line. Now she has to roll stone balls into a goal.
Art's tries the sled 16 times already. Rachel rolls the ball in. Now they get the clue and have to go to the secret island. They hop in an ATV and make their way.
Big Brother shows up at the sled part and Rachel does the sled on her second try.
Rachel and Dave do the paddleboard across the lake, again.
Big Brother Rachel starts to roll the stones towards the goal as Art finally makes it down on the sled.
Rachel and Dave run down to the beach, again, to Phil on the mat at the finish line and Rachel and Dave are the winners of the one million dollars and the official winners of the Amazing Race. Record win too with their 8th leg won! Art and JJ finish in second, Brenchel in third. Congrats Rachel and Dave, you deserved this one. Great race.

Bird Baths & Bird Grooming
Bird Baths & Bird Grooming products have an average rating of 0.0 / 5.0 from 0 reviews
Bird Baths & Grooming
Bird health and grooming is every bird owner's responsibility: it helps to keep your pet bird happy, healthy and can also assist in keeping your bird's feathers, beak and talons in tip top condition.
Bird Baths
Bird baths are another important bird cage accessory and essential in overall pet bird care. Bathing in clean water allows your bird to maintain their plumage, and this can be provided in something as simple as Kazoo's oval bird baths.
Ladders and Perches for Beak and Talon Management
Birds need to keep both their beaks and talons trim, and this can be done in several ways. For bird nail care, rough-textured perches or concrete bird ladders allow your feathery friends to keep their nails tidy through play or simply by moving around their cage. These same perches and ladders are safe for birds to chew as well, so they can keep their beaks in good condition and possibly stop them from chewing on less desirable items in their cage, such as their feeding dishes.

Beyond Amazing
From my perspective, KronosWorks 2011 was a huge success. The moving and inspirational keynote by blind adventurer, Erik Weihenmayer really set an appreciation of life tone for all of us that carried through the conference. Erik's story is beyond amazing. The Rosen Shingle Creek venue was great, too. The resort is very nice, the food above average for a conference like this, and the fact that it doesn't have casinos meant that our customers (and our employees…) were nearly all in sessions, education workshops or the Expo. Speaking of the Expo, it was always brimming with customers, and the Services professionals at our 5 booths enjoyed a steady stream of excellent customer conversations.
We promoted our Services booths with a networking theme, asking our customers to meet someone at all five and let us know how that person could help them. Here are a few of the best:
Upgrade Central
- "Consolidation of multiple instances on 6.2."
- "Showed me Upgrade Central Online!"
Cloud Services
- "Remote Application Management."
- "Temporary Test Environment."
- "Disaster Recovery."
Workforce Optimization & Business Assessments
- "Get our Workforce Scheduler project justified!"
- "Get more from our Workforce Analytics cube!"
- "Improve our workforce management processes."
- "Get our 300+ supervisors in the system!"
- "Training in sandbox!"
Kronos Solution Services
- "Attestation toolkit on the InTouch!"
- "Report Writing."
From all the entries, we randomly picked one $1,000 winner. We also asked how they'd create the experience they expect with their winnings. Along with many shopping sprees, Apple products, vacations and spa days, here are some of the best:
"A grand learning experience – in the Bahamas!"
"Hamburgers every day for a year!"
"My wife already spent it!"
"Celebrate 35th wedding anniversary (with my wife, of course)!"
"See my son who I haven't seen since he returned from Afghanistan."
Thank you to all our customers who attended. We'll try to have burgers next year!

I'm hitting the beach tomorrow! I'm off to a weekend getaway with my friends at none other than our sunny Boracay. Of course, when in the beach, it's time to tuck away those heels and bring out our trusty Havies a.k.a. Havaianas!
If you haven't gotten yourself a pair yet, I recommend these:
I've always been biased over Havaianas' slim straps because I believe they look better on a woman's feet. So when Havaianas released their Slim Turkish line (as seen above), I fell completely in love with those babies! Don't you just love the patterns? I still can't decide which among the white, black, ocean green and red is my favorite. They're all so loveable and pretty! How about you? Which one is your favorite?
If you still can't decide which to get, let me confuse you a bit more. Aside from the Slim Turkish line, Havaianas also released a number of new collections. Here's the official video of their 2011 collection:
For more about Havaianas and their collection, visit www.havaianas.com.
Havaianas is available at All Flipflops, Celio, Duty Free Philippines Fiesta Mall, Gas, J&S Surf Shop, KidSports, Manila Polo Club, Manila Yacht Club, Moana, Nail Spa, ROX, Rustan's, Stoked, Tick Tock Flip Flop NAIA Terminal 3 and Urban Athletics.

More Scandalous Stories About the 2008 Campaign
The new book Game Change, with its inside look at politics, has been selling out everywhere because of all its shocking revelations about many political figures. Not to be outdone, I've decided to start researching my own book -- Bad Stuff 'Bout Politicians -- which will include numerous scandalous details I found through my super-secret inside sources. Some have already accused these sources of being "imaginary," to which I respond, "No, you're imaginary!" Others have accused me of being on drugs, which is completely untrue, and you can't have any.
Anyway, here are some of the shocking things I've found so far, much of them about the 2008 presidential campaign:
- John Edwards' $400 haircut: $10 for the haircut and $390 for hookers.
- Of the many Democratic senators' reactions to Barack Obama running for president, Harry Reid's was actually the least racist.
- John McCain's speech at the Republican National Convention was significantly altered from his original "so I hate you and you all hate me" version.
- Sarah Palin had never actually shot a moose, but had instead found pleasure in laying a gun down in front of a moose and cruelly breaking its self-esteem until it took its own life.
- Hillary Clinton was so enraged by her loss to Obama in the Iowa primary that the only way to calm her down was to give her a big box of cute little kittens that she could bite the heads off of.
- Barack Obama's rumored drug use was a lot more recent than most people think, but he vowed to never do it again after he woke up one morning with Joe Biden as a running mate.
- When it started to look like Sarah Palin wasn't fully vetted, the press immediately took up the slack, analyzing everything about her -- a process that continues to this day. When they get done, the press swears they'll then take a look at Obama.
- To avoid a scandal due to remarks he might make, to this day no one has told Senator Byrd that the president is now black.
- In the same speech in which Barack Obama referred to bitter people clinging to guns and religion, he later said, "I just really hate those people. Hate them. What is that everyone always calls those people? Oh yeah: Americans. I hate them."
- Bill Clinton's philandering had by the 2008 presidential election become increasingly uncontrollable, his romantic trysts moving on to involve multiple women, then farm animals, then plants, and then lawn furniture.
- Barack Obama first had second thoughts about Joe Biden as a running mate when saw him repeatedly lose to a chicken at tic-tac-toe.
- There are some rumors that Chris Dodd ran for president, but I haven't been able to find any hard confirmation of that.

Moments of clarity happen when we let go and focus on the simple things. When you drown yourself in music and forget about the world
around you, because all you can hear is the music and all you can see is the people playing it. It's like taking a shower after a long day. It's a
moment of silence in a busy, busy world. These moments only happen so often, so it makes them easy to enjoy; no matter your age.

Doing new things and meeting new people allows you see the world differently. Every single person sees the world in a different way. The more people you meet in your life, the more understanding you will be. Every person you meet in your life gives you something that you didn't have before you met them. The more people you meet, the more wealth you have, and no, not money wealth. Knowledge, joy and honesty is what you gain from obtaining a wider perspective on life. Every person has their strengths that they spread to others. Reaching out and meeting new people can change the way you look at things. When you have a wider perspective of the world, you are happier. Understand the challenges people face from their perspective and your life will change. Trying new things allows you to expand your world into something bigger, giving you experience. The more you see of the world, the more you understand.
So become friends with that new person in the neighborhood. You'll be surprised what people know and what they have to share. Don't be afraid to try new things, because when you try something new you have nothing to lose, but so much to gain. There is so much opportunity for everyone in this world no matter who you are or what your situation is, but you can not be afraid to seize it. When you try a new class, or try a new exercise, don't be afraid. Make new friends, partner with someone you don't know and you will leave with more than you came with. Carpe diem.

We are the children of our solar system, created by the same elements that build stars and asteroids.
We are made from the same atoms as our earth. We are connected to our planet, our mother, our home. We share the DNA that codes our universe, related
in a seemingly disconnected world.

As people, we are always doing. Usually our actions result in us obtaining something; a lesson, knowledge, a feeling or an object. When you read a story,
you learn the lesson it desires to teach you. When you exercise, your body and your mind gives you the joy of accomplishment. To set your sights on
a goal and accomplish it is the most incredible feeling; no matter how small or grand that goal may be. Whether it's two more reps on the TRX Band
or holding that pose you struggle with for ten more seconds, that's incredible. To defy your past and conquer the present moment you are living in.
The release of all the pain it took you to get to this moment creates pure happiness.

1. Subscribe someone to a literary magazine. Literary magazines offer hidden gems of short fiction, essays, and poetry you won't find elsewhere. I suggest The Missouri Review. A better kind of bathroom reading, for sure!
2. Buy a nonreading tween or teen a graphic novel. My favorites for teens: Maus: A Survivor's Tale and American Born Chinese. Tweens: Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. I also stumbled across Toon Books recently; check them and their high-quality comics for emerging readers.
3. Buy something from an indie press. You're going to find unique writing that ought to be on the best seller lists: Graywolf Press, Dzanc Books, Press 53. As Press 53 says, "Literate yourself!"
4. Buy something from an indie bookstore. If you're a Piedmont North Carolinian like me, check out Quail Ridge Books (Raleigh), Flyleaf Books (Chapel Hill), or The Regulator (Durham). If you're somewhere else, check out your indie options at Indiebound.org. Shop local and keep your nearby citizens employed.
5. Join your local library or donate in the name of someone you love. Was there anything cooler when you were a kid than coming home from the library with 15 books spilling out of your arms? I felt rich as a king. If you've got kids and never had them borrow and return books, it's a great life lesson–and a gift of time well spent together that will keep on giving.
6. Ask a favorite teacher what books or curriculum s/he needs for teaching. Educators often have to pay out of their own pockets for the curricular guides that improve instruction and aid their professional development. Check out teachers' councils, those nonprofits that sell curriculum, such as NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English), NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics), NSTA (National Science Teachers Association), National Council for the Social Studies, and ACTFL (American Council for the Teaching of Foreign Languages). Send your favorite teacher that link and ask what book or journal would be ideal for teaching in the new year. Other great teacher haunts: ASCD, Chicago Review Press/Zephyr Press, and Free Spirit Press. My Teaching Romeo and Juliet (co-authored with Delia DeCourcy and Robin Follet) and Teaching Julius Caesar books are available at NCTE and The Compassionate Classroom: Lessons That Nurture Wisdom and Empathyco-authored with Jane Dalton is at Zephyr Press. The latter is a good gift for any teacher who values your child and community building. If you know of great sites for art teachers, theater teachers, dance teachers, band teachers, coaches/PE teachers, please comment.
7. Buy someone a Kindle, Nook, or another e-reader. Books have never been so easy to read this way…they're even great on an iTouch with an ereader app.
8. Buy a book of poetry. I suggest Mary Oliver. She'll put your mind on higher things and you won't feel the stretch.
9. Buy a writer you know a magazine or a book about writing or getting published. I suggest Hope Clark's ebooks for those who are trying to get published, get funded, and promote their work. Or check out a magazine such as Poets & Writers or the AWP's The Writer's Chronicle. Or, buy that friend who keeps saying, "I need to write my book," a copy of The Artist's Way. No more excuses.
10. Buy a lovelorn teen girl who has a thing for bad-boy characters a YA book with good-boy characters. YA author Jennifer Hubbard advises.
Got good ideas? Let me and your fellow gift-givers know.
I remember going to the library as a kid during the summer months. I'd check out 3 books and read them in two days. After a while the librarian asked my not to return them so soon – they were backed up.
Now I have a kindle – with take it with me to the hospital Thurs. Sigh.
Hey, AAG: I like how you were on the librarian's list of "kids to watch." 🙂 This dates us, as it's clearly a memory of the days before electronic scans. I loved looking at the history in those cards in the backs of books, seeing who'd read before me.
The ereaders are so very portable…hard to beat when you're stuck in the hospital. Hope your hospital visit is speedy and all is well.

Alex Pall and Andrew Taggart formed the Chainsmokers in 2012, and by 2015, the Chainsmokers had already become a household name, but just how were they able to achieve such widespread fame and acclaim so quickly? Mathias Rosenzweig met up with Alex Pall to discuss how the Chainsmokers first came to be and what lies ahead for them. The two first met in the big apple while Taggart was in college. Pall's manager first introduced the two and they instantly knew they would work well together. Andrew dropped out to work with Pall on music full time and within just a few years, they had already dropped their first hit single, Selfie. Not long after, they released a whole string of hit singles and, before they knew what was happening, they had achieved widespread fame and critical acclaim.
He also talked about how important it is for him to provide the vocals on his tracks since they pertain to him and his life. Most DJs don't do that but Pall said he makes no apologies for it. When discussing Halsey, he praised her unique sense of individuality and her strong voice. Those are the kinds of artists they wish to work with in the future. While their audience used to be mostly college students, nowadays all kinds of people enjoy their music. He mentioned that the duo didn't just expect their fame to become so pervasive as Pall noted how grateful they are for all of their fans and devotees.
He then went on to discuss the ways in which their live shows have changed over the years as things continue to evolve in the music scene. Unlike some other artists, they do not lip sync during their concerts and this remains a point of pride for them. And they have assured the public and their fans that they don't plan on taking a hiatus. Some artists do but it's never the same when they return. So they intend to keep making music for as long as possible. We hope they will continue to find future success in their careers.
