Burt's Bees Frequently Asked QuestionsAre your products hypoallergenic?There is no defined methodology to test for allergic reactions in beauty or personal care products, nor does the FDA regulate use of the term "hypoallergenic." Consequently, Burt's Bees does not position their products as hypoallergenic. A list of ingredients for each product is available on individual product information pages on this site. Are your products safe for pregnant women to use?Burt's Bees recommends that any expectant mother check with her physician before changing her skin care routine with their products, or any other line of products. How long will my Burt's Bees products stay fresh and what is the best way to store them?Burt's Bees products are made with natural ingredients. They purposely present our products in smaller portions so you finish them while their ingredients are still fresh and providing their maximum effectiveness. As such, we recommend you store creams and oils in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Creams may be stored in their cartons for extra protection. Where are Burt's Bees products made?Over 95% of Burt's Bees products are made right in their own manufacturing plant in Durham, NC. The rest are made by other respectable American manufacturers. Do you test on animals and do your products contain animal-derived ingredients?Burt's Bees does NOT conduct product or ingredient tests of any kind on animals. A few of their products contain ingredients derived from animals such as beeswax, royal jelly, milk and carmine. I am allergic to bees. Can I still use your products?Burt's Bees does not use actual bee venom in their products – only bee by products such as honey, beeswax, royal jelly and honey powder. However, if you are allergic to bee by-products, then Burt's Bees does not suggest using their products. They recommend that you contact your health care provider when changing your skin care regimen to find out which products are best for you.

Adorable flats; Poor quality leather
"These shoes are ADORABLE, however there were two big problems. #1, the sole is completely inflexible, so if you have high arches (or anything but flat feet), they are quite uncomfortable to walk in for any length of time. More troubling is that after a few minutes of walking on the sidewalk, the yellow leather at the toe began to chip off, revealing white fabric underneath. It looked like I had owned these shoes for a year after a day at work. I normally love Seychelles and I'm shocked to be writing a bad review, but beware of this issue!"

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

"I bought these shoes for about $24 and loved them before I even tried them on. I am very cautious about studs or rhinestones since I feel like they can either make the shoe look cheap, or come right off and leave blank patches. These are neither of those! They have just a hint of gold shimmer on black suede, they feel very well built and secure when I walk in them. The toes are just a tad bit narrow but thats to be expected when you buy closed-toe. Overall the traction, suede, presentation, heel height all meet my expectations and I would definitely recommend!"

It's out:
And as a German, I seriously cannot stand the weird translations. So:
Here, it's not supposed to mean "Prinz von Licht" (That hardly makes any sense. "Prinz von Licht" would mean that he is the prince of a region called "Licht"). In correct German, it is: "Prinz des Lichts", or "Lichtprinz", though I would prefer the first version:
And "Auswahlen" (actually, it should be "Auswahl") doesn't mean "Holy selection", but just selection. If they had wanted to write "Holy selection", they should have written "Heilige Auswahl":

Bristol, Tenn. council looking at hiring firm to recruit new city manager
BRISTOL, Tenn. - Starting Thursday, the search is officially on for Bristol, Tennessee's new city manager.
Current city manager Jeff Broughton accepted a job last month with the Municipal Technical Advisory Service at the University of Tennessee's Institute of Public Service, and Thursday marks Broughton's last day.
Bristol, Tennessee city council member Michelle Dolan told us, right now, the council is leaning towards hiring a professional firm to recruit a new city leader rather than going through the state. "I feel that way we could get a really good pool of candidates and really the best that's available in the United States, rather than just keeping it more at a state level," said Dolan.
There's no word on how much it would cost to hire a professional firm, but Dolan said she hopes the council will approve a new hire within the next three months.
In the meantime, we're told Deputy City Manager of Public Works, Bill Sorah, will serve as interim city manager.

Skip to comments.Severin suspended after illegal alien, swine flu remarks
Posted on 05/01/2009 4:17:55 AM PDT by appleseed
Conservative WTKK radio host Jay Severin was suspended indefinitely today after making offensive remarks about illegal aliens and the swine flu, sources tell the Herald.
Severin was shocked to learn about the suspension, the sources said, as the station had been using those same remarks in on-air promos.
Heidi Raphael, a spokeswoman for station owner Greater Media, confirmed Severins suspension saying the station would have no further comment.
Spanish-language daily newspaper El Diario la Prensa in New York City, reported earlier this week that Severin was using the flu to attack Mexicans and immigrants.
For Severin, Mexicans are criminaliens and primitives who export venereal diseases to the United States, the paper reported. The shock jock referred to the strain of flu as swine-aka-Janet Napolitano flu.
Thats not the end of Severins anti-immigrant rants. Immigrants are leeches and their children, he warns, dont speak English, will retard schools, add to crime and spread disease. Amid all of this, Severin has the audacity to state, I dont mean to hype the story, the paper said.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.bostonherald.com ...
He didn't say anything here that isn't already true.
That should have been done years ago, close the border when given an opportunity, too little, too late.
Plus will ignore the PC nonsense going on.
That's New England for you...
Look at the quotation marks here...
Thats not the end of Severins anti-immigrant rants. Immigrants are leeches and their children, he warns, dont speak English, will retard schools, add to crime and spread disease. Amid all of this, Severin has the audacity to state, I dont mean to hype the story, the paper said.
I'll bet dollars to donuts he never used the word "immigrants". Bet he said "Illegals".
Well, somewhat of a difference.
If you work in a company that uses offshore contractors, you'd be tempted to call it the H1B/N1 virus, too.
Severin...conservative? ROTFLMAO!!!
It's not the Mexican Flu it's the "Piggy Pox" ...
Napolitano Flu. LMAO
Two birds with one stone , he calls Napolitano a pig and he blames he for not closing the borders in one fell swoop.
He wont be too popular with the liberals.
You got that right.
Imagine dealing with a potential emergency involving people that don't have a clue what you are saying. You get on the phone to someone who can interpret and the phone gets passed back and forth while time is a wasting. After things get worked out, the very people you are trying to help say through an interpreter that you should learn how to speak Spanish. Been there and done that, and I can say it really sucks.
I don't live by the border. I live in the heartland of the USA. Maybe I missed the mandatory Spanish speaking requirement. What the heck have we become? It's only a matter of time before someone gets sued because they responded to a situation and couldn't communicate in Spanish or whatever language.
"Maybe I missed the mandatory Spanish speaking requirement. What the heck have we become?"
Very easy solution to this life threatening problem: LEARN ENGLISH.
Can't find where he was wrong! Am I missing something here?
The priorities of political correctness trump the truth, public health and national security, and the more harm it does, the louder and more shrill its supporters become. We live at a time when many believe that the sheer force of a political dogma can reshape and manipulate reality, even to the point of defying the laws of physics and nature. The Left is enthusiasticly propelling mankind toward a the Dark Ages II by turning wishful thinking on steroids into a national religion.
OK,so break down this statement.A good percentage,most likely the large majority,of Mexicans living in this country have committed at least one crime and many have committed a second (identity theft).And many of these illegal aliens carry various diseases to our shores...VD,TB,swine flu,insects in the brain (there was such a case publicized recently).And as for "primitives"...compared to us most of them are.
So it sounds like he's right on target.
Replace him with Reese Hopkins! and his sidekick.
If he did use Illegal aliens that would make his statements even more true. Legal immigrants have more than likely been screened, illegals aliens haven't and are fleeing a nation ravaged with the flu as well as many other diseases we had wiped out but are returning.
This is NOT a free speech issue. The government did not restrict his speech in any way.
This is an employment performance issue. Jay's employer didn't like the way he was doing his job. Jay's employer is not required by any law to let him say anything he wants on their radio signal.
Unless Jay has a contract requiring the station to allow him to say whatever he wants on the air, this is a simple matter of the employer deciding to change the content of the show during those hours.
Agreed. I've worked in customer service types of jobs for years, and a few months ago, I had to take one in a place that deals with the general public in a utility company. Before, I dealt with bankers, attorneys, realtors, medical supply offices, doctors, etc. all who were happy to speak English with me, and had to get jobs where that was necessary.
Now, anybody and everybody calls in where I work, and while I'm more than happy to get an interpreter on line, I started encountering those Spanish-speakers who feel that having an interpreter is not good enough for them (I'm sure my company spends a fortune to provide this for the lazy bastards) and who want to talk to a Spanish-speaking person. I have a Cuban friend who sits in the cube across from me, and he's generally willing to take them, but even he shakes his head about people who won't learn English in America.
I have to say, the experience has made me much more in favor of English-only in our society.
"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act."
George Orwell
One of my daughter-in-laws is Japanese. She came to this country when she was 20, to get an second college degree. She didn't know anyone, didn't speak English and had never been here. Yet in 3 years she learned to speak English, read and write it, worked while going to school, and got her degree. She was never on public assistance. She came legally too, and is here again (married to my son) legally.
Now for the radical left, slanted, why-are-we-going-out-of-business, take on all of this, check out the Boston Glob:
If you read the Globe article, it's obvious that Severin's commments went way beyond the boundaries of commenting on immigration policy - it was hate speech, simple as that:
"...he described Mexicans as "the world's lowest of primitives."
"When we are the magnet for primitives around the world - and it's not the primitives' fault by the way, I'm not blaming them for being primitives - I'm merely observing they're primitive," he said.
His branding of the citizenry of an entire neighboring nation as "primitive" justifies his suspension.
I have learned that it doesn't take long for liberal women to become conservative soccer moms in Texas. It takes several months, but they adapt quickly when they learn it's quite permissable for men to open doors for them, along with paying for taking them out on dates.
Before too long, they fall in love with a good, hard working Texas man. The metamorphosis is complete when they start extolling the virtues of the "cover two" defense.
In the context of this type of show, where opinions are expressed and expression of agreement or dissent is encouraged, this is a perfectly acceptable statement of his opinion. He uses no racial slurs. He brands all illegal aliens as criminal aliens - which they are. And these same expressions have been de facto accepted by the radio station over the years.
This is not a 1st amendment issue per se since as an employee or more likely a contractor to the radio station they can to some extent curb what he says. Probably depends on the wording of his contract.
And what should we call people who come here with no education, no ability or desire to speak English - the world's default language of business, and no skills other than physical ability to do manual labor?
We're not getting the cream of Mexican citizenry here. And unlike China or India who both worried about a brain drain to the US, the Mexican government doesn't really care if these people leave. Near as I can tell the encourage it.
"And many of these illegal aliens carry various diseases to our shores...VD,TB,swine flu,insects in the brain"
Here is an eye opening article with real research behind it.

Libs make every alien, legal.
We understand the difference.
oops . try again
You're right. Employer bowed to PC pressure. They'll probably replace him with someone less controversial which will probably make their ratings decline. But at least they did the "right" thing in the eyes of the political elite. Liberals imposing their version of the fairness doctrine.
Did the fruitcake that ripped Ms. California lose his job yet? Just wondering.
"Did the fruitcake that ripped Ms. California lose his job yet? Just wondering."
I'm pretty sure he's self-employed. There's not much chance he'll fire himself, but I'll bet Trump won't hire him again.
Dude, don't know how many times I heard that. It's usually followed by I'm going to sue you.
Today's Herald says Jay Severin and his agent will meet with WTKK on Monday to discuss his
future with the station.
Is he coming back or not, and if so, would Greater Media try to re-negotiate his contract?
If not, I could poss. see them putting McPhee in Graham's slot, Graham in pm drive,
and a syndie host (Hannity?) or lower-paid local host at 7 pm...But we'll see.
I sense an audible delight in their voices when I pronounce their names correctly, we had a lot of Pacific Rim people out in the Northwest, and if you listened, you could learn a lot of things from them.
Still no resolution to Jay situation; VB filling in today.
Greater's statement:
""WTKK and Greater Media value an open and vigorous dialogue, but we also strongly adhere to basic principles of civility, common decency and respect for all cultures. We believe Jay's suspension is the best way to uphold both of these corporate policies. WTKK Management met with Jay Severin and his agent today. He will continue to remain on suspension until further notice."

No! Marty! We've already agreed that having information about the future can be extremely dangerous. Even if your intentions are good, it can backfire drastically!—Dr. Emmett Brown, Back to the Future
Fortunately for us forecasting the trends in the mortgage industry does not pose the same risks as knowing the future due to time travel. An educated guess about what issues will impact the home financing industry will not disrupt the space-time continuum. As we approach 2013 it is safe to say that a New Mortgage Industry (NMI) continues to emerge following the unprecedented devastation that followed the housing bubbles' bursting in 2007-2008.
The NMI that is evolving is being shaped by both outside (regulatory and economic) forces and inside (management and technological) forces. But what is essential to understand is that the changes that are coming will negatively impact the unprepared.
With this backdrop, I believe that 2013 will see the rise of new mortgage industry fundamentals: personal relationships, efficiency, quality control and balance. Let me expand on these ideas briefly.
Personal Relationships
The investment and banking industries have a concept that underlies their fiduciary and anti-fraud, anti-money-laundering efforts known as "Know Your Customer." At the very heart of providing both the proper advice for a client and ensuring that the financial products offered are sold to legitimate customers with good intentions, is intimate knowledge of that person.
This can also be extended to include knowledge of vendors who are involved in the delivery of services to your clients. While tools and technology can help us to know our customers and vendors, in the NMI nothing can take the place of physical proximity—living and working directly in the communities of those we serve.
The origination, processing, closing, sale and servicing of mortgage loans is far more costly in the NMI. With the all but uniform belief that the not-to-distant future of our industry includes lower overall production levels, the manner in which mortgage firms conduct their business will clearly separate those that survive from those which simply cannot make it.
If origination volumes drop by 25% when the NMI takes hold sometime over the next 12 to 18 months, our industry will likely shrink by another third. Measurements like net revenue per application, net revenue per closed loan and net revenue per employee will likely separate the winners from the losers.
Quality Control
In the NMI lenders face unprecedented risks. These risks begin at first customer contact and extend, with little exaggeration, all the way to the customer's final mortgage payment. The fact is that any activity that places the investor owning a loan, or an insurer backing a loan at financial risk, places the lender at financial risk. In such an environment quality controls become paramount.
Having state-of-the-art procedures for hiring employees (particularly originators), originating loans, processing loans, managing secondary-market transactions and servicing loans is vital to success and survival in the NMI. Spending on QC and what I call Total Quality Mortgage Management will accelerate in 2013.
One of the lessons from the housing bubble and the mortgage industry collapse is that balance is needed in this industry. Too much dependency on refinances, a belief that valuation is a one-way street, leniency in underwriting and failure to maintain a "trust, but verify" mentality are examples of a lack of previous balance in the industry.
The NMI will reward balance—balance in business development (self-developed referrals, web inquiries, leads), balance in production mix (refinances versus purchases), balance in growth (numbers and type of personnel, geographic footprint) and balance in financial management (organic financing versus debt financing). Firms that adopt stability and steadiness over excess and a "damn the torpedoes" mentality will prosper.
Now that I've laid out the general trends that I believe will impact the mortgage industry in 2013, here are some specific forecasts. I believe that three specific trends will play out in in 2013. These trends are:
- HARP 3.0 will come to fruition allowing millions more homeowners to benefit from refinancing and allowing the refinance-focus of the industry to continue for another year. However, as suggested above, the wisest firms will use this extra time to respond to the broader emerging trends discussed above. The reprieve from the demands of the NMI from will be temporary!
- Preferred vendor relationships will become the norm in the industry as lenders seek to maintain quality standards throughout the lending process. The fact is that lenders cannot expose themselves to risks caused by vendors who fail to abide by the highest standards. In response to this, many, if not most, lenders will be requiring the use of approved or preferred vendors for such things as title services.
- The wholesale channel will continue to reclaim market share lost in the aftermath of the mortgage meltdown and housing crash as quality origination will combine with maximized consumer choice and professional flexibility. Wholesale lending through high-integrity, experienced brokers has always provided the best option for consumers. This reality is unaffected by the advent of the NMI. In fact, due to the proximity of the customer and the intimacy of the relationship between broker and customer, and broker and wholesale mortgage company, it is reasonable to assume that wholesale lending will produce the highest quality loans in the future. As recent market share data clearly show, wholesale mortgage banking is on the ascendency. This will continue in my view until the channel reclaims a 33% to 50% share of the overall mortgage loan origination market.
2013 will continue to see significant, industry altering changes. Individuals and firms that develop personal relationships, operate efficiently with a dedication to quality production, and seek balance in all they do will stick around for 2014. Since we have no "flux capacitor" and therefore no ability to go into the past and correct our mistakes, nor the ability to travel ahead to know the exact course to plot, my advice is to focus on the new fundamentals, and above all, use the time we have wisely.

The Vitec Group (Booth C6428) is sure to attract a lot of attention with a lineup of leading industry figures who will share tips and techniques in a dedicated Live Event area. Its "Meet the Experts" sessions will include Pulitzer Prize-winning Photographer and Director Vincent Laforet, BAFTA-nominated Filmmaker Philip Bloom (who was the camera department advisor on Red Tails), Cinematographer Rodney Charters, ASC ("24") and Sports Illustrated Staff Photographer Bill Frakes.
Carl Zeiss (Booth C9049) will showcase a new super-wide-angle lens. The Distagon T* 2.8/15 lens has an extra-large angle of view of 110 degrees (in combination with a fast f/2.8 aperture) that enables features for the dramatic perspectives and performance demanded by most landscape photographers. Shooters will also benefit from a large depth of field, which provides a wide range of image sharpness from close-ups up to infinity. Now photographers can work in tight spaces while also allowing focus on close-up details. Also, distortion is well controlled, producing naturally proportioned photographs. The Distagon T* 2.8/15 lenses support an EF (ZE) or F bayonet (ZF.2).
FUJIFILM North America Corporation - Optical Devices Division (Booth C7525) always has new and interesting lenses to showcase and this year brings the U.S. debut of the HA19x7.4BERM/BERD 2/3-inch Premier HD ENG/EFP and XA19x7.4BESM-D8 Studio/Field Box lenses (pictured left). Both are compact, offer 19x zoom ratios, and feature three floating-zoom groups and Aspherics, which combine to produce superb optical performance. The lenses also feature the latest EBC coating, resulting in richer colors and improved blue response and transmittance. "The advanced features we've built into these lenses are extremely important in the HDTV/big-screen era, as television viewers can see much more picture detail, including information in the corners of the screen, than ever before," says Thom Calabro, director of marketing and product development at FUJIFILM North America Corporation - Optical Devices Division. "For this reason, it's vital to have consistent resolution from edge to edge."
Manfrotto Distribution (Booth C6925) will introduce two new tripod systems. The MVK502AM Tripod System incorporates the new MVH502A fluid head and is lightweight, compact and sturdy. This new telescoping tandem (or twin tubes) system is a first for Manfrotto. The design provides the stability of a twin-tube tripod with the ease of use of a single-leg tripod. The Manfrotto 701HDV, MVT502AM Tripod System with Carrying Bag is a lightweight tripod system kit for camcorders or DSLRs weighing up to 8.8 pounds. This system combines the 701HDV Pro Fluid Head with the brand new MVT502AM tripod and is perfect for backpackers and air travel as it folds down to a small portable system.
Nila, Inc. (Booth C10339) will display a new waterproof (IP-65 rated) version of its Boxer LED fixture (pictured bottom right). This rugged fixture was designed as an all-weather LED luminaire that's compact and portable enough for remote shoots and ENG applications where poor weather has always been a challenge. The all-weather Boxer has enough punch (800W daylight or 1,200W tungsten) to replace power-hungry and bulky HMIs in conditions where HMIs could never survive. Its quick-change holographic lenses provide even, wraparound lighting to complement any subject, and this LED luminaire can be battery operated or run on a standard wall outlet at under 5 amps and drawing only 250 watts.
CineBags, Inc. (Booth C7641) will address the influx of tablets that are hitting the market, especially as the Apple iPad becomes a useful tool in all aspects of film/TV production, including camera control (for the ARRI ALEXA, Canon C300 and Sony F65), script and sound usages. The company will introduce the new CB19 iPad Bag that goes beyond the basic cover protection. The CB19 features a well-padded main body to keep iPads or similar-sized netbooks protected from impacts and the elements. The bag is large enough to hold basic accessories, such as a charger, cell phone, cables, business cards and other small tools and production accessories.
Matthews Studio Equipment (Booth C5437) is a must-stop place for shooters looking for rigs and support equipment. This year the company will introduce the newest member of the FloatCam DC-Slider family. Over the past year, shooters have put the FloatCam DC-Slider, a counter-balanced/multi-function/multi-angled camera platform, through its paces as it supports a wide range of camera styles (up to the maximum weight of 22 pounds or 10 kilograms). Now, FloatCam HD-DC Slider can do the same for heavier cameras. It creates smooth horizontal camera movements as a mini-jib or a 6-foot tower. It can be mounted on a single tripod and placed on level or uneven surfaces, where the constant counter-balance maintains uniform pressure for smooth camera movement. It also captures a wide range of vertical images in both tower and mini-jib function, no matter how severe the angle.
Shotoku Broadcast Systems (Booth C8528) will debut the new SG9000 manual pan-and-tilt head developed for applications requiring teleprompters (pictured left). Developed for location and studio broadcast applications, the SG900 supports 198 pounds and features smooth operation, single-knob balance adjustment, and tough construction in an ergonomic design. The unit incorporates VISCAM, the ultimate fluid-drag system to control pan-and-tilt speed without vibration or shake, and REULAUX, a perfect balance system for maintaining the camera's center of gravity.
The Tiffen Company (Booth C8818) will unveil new innovative teleprompters, including a model for tablets and Steadicam through its Listec brand. The company will also debut new filters through Tiffen Optical Filters that are manufactured using ColorCore technology, which enables Tiffen to control the color and density of its filters with accuracy. In addition, attendees can see other popular Tiffen products, such as Steadicam, Lowel-Light, Davis & Sanford tripods, Domke camera bags and the Tiffen Dfx digital filter suite. "NAB is undisputedly the venue to debut our new and innovative professional product lineup for broadcasters and motion picture professionals," says CEO Steve Tiffen. "Our engineering teams have been working hard at developing the next Tiffen blockbusters, and I am confident that attendees are going to love what they see on the show floor at the Tiffen booth."
I-MOVIX (Booth C4644) will showcase the new X10, a unique, always-on, live ultra-motion solution that delivers 300 fps real-time continuous ultra-slow motion in full HD (or 600 fps in 720p). Developed in partnership with EVS, the X10 system is used with an EVS XT3 production server under LSM control. The company will also demonstrate the benefits of the new SprintCam Vvs HD 1.2 software release. This updated version of the SprintCam Vvs HD technology features refined and enhanced functionality. New operational enhancements allow operators to use all the capabilities of the ultra-motion technology in a simpler and more efficient way to provide ultra-slow motion images of extraordinary quality.
Harris Corporation (Booth N2502) will demonstrate the HView SX Pro multi-display management solution, a scalable, highest-density, multi-display management system for broadcasters. It delivers a compact new signal-processing and monitoring option for control-room environments. Its advanced design is smaller, sharper and smarter while it reduces space, power and complexity and offers picture quality and intelligent, flexible control options. Its high-density design accommodates more sources and outputs in fewer rack units in order to reduce system and installation costs.
Sony Creative Software (Booth C11001) will demonstrate its Vegas Pro, Sound Forge, DoStudio, Z Depth and more! The new Vegas Pro 11 Render dialog box includes several improvements that help users find the exact parameters for saving finished files. The company will also hold its 12th annual Open House that will include new product announcements about Sony's professional line of multimedia production applications. The Sony Creative Software Event "Wildly Creative" will be held on Monday, April 16.
Sachtler (Booth C6032) will present the new Ace tripod system that offers a compact, durable and lightweight camera-support system for the video and DSLR filmmaker market. Developed for lightweight HDV camcorders and video-enabled DSLR cameras, the Ace features an ergonomic design and a payload range of 8.8 pounds (0 to 4 kilograms). Its patented SA-drag (Synchronized Actuated Drag) enables precise and reproducible pans. And with the five-step counterbalance, the camera setup can be quickly balanced.
Bright Technologies, Inc. (Booth SL8410) will present its core technology BrightClip as a standalone solution(pictured right). BrightClip is engineered to eliminate the disruptive and productivity-damaging factors for a studio workflow process, including high latencies, dropped frames and stuttering video. Now this technology is available to the entertainment industry, including the postproduction community, video integrators, solution providers and storage vendors/manufacturers. This advanced recording technology can work with every Meta Data Controller (MDC), ensuring that the underlying storage subsystem doesn't lose performance due to scattered-file layout.
Litepanels (Booth C6025) will debut a variety of new LED lighting products. The Sola 4 daylight Fresnel fixture is a small focusable DMX controllable LED Fresnel that features a 4-inch (10 cm) Fresnel lens and uses a fraction of the power of conventional fixtures. The tungsten-balance Inca Series is a Fresnel fixture that will output tungsten-balance light that can be integrated with light from legacy tungsten fixtures. Litepanels will also unveil its new on-camera LED lighting fixtures, the Croma (variable color-temperature) and Luma (daylight). The Croma can illuminate in any color temperature from daylight to tungsten via an on-fixture control knob, while the Luma provides powerful daylight illumination that's well suited for fill light when shooting outdoors or in similar color-temperature conditions.
Petrol Bags (Booth C6034) will introduce three new quality equipment bags. The Deca Audio Bag (PS614) is an ultra-lightweight carrier designed to securely transport sound equipment while keeping it safe, organized and accessible. It can accommodate a Zaxcom Nomad or Sound Devices SD 788 mixer with a CL8 controller, and offers easy access to the SD 522 mixer's SD card slot. Constructed of a rugged, water-resistant case, the Liteporter professional carrier is designed to transport and protect a standard 1x1 LED light fixture and other lighting accessories. And the new Rolling DigiSuite DSLR Camera Case is a carryon-sized rollaway camera bag designed especially for the DSLR shooter on the go. It has a built-in wheel and tote assembly and a front lid that unzips quickly to reveal a central compartment contoured to comfortably fit up to two DSLR cameras. Detachable internal dividers help to secure contents and create pockets for storing spare lenses and other accessories.
Hitachi Kokusai Electric America (Booth C4309) will introduce the SK-HD1500, a slow-motion HD camera that's capable of capturing video at 2.5X and 3X (the speed of standard frame-rate cameras). It uses standard 2/3-inch bayonet-mount lenses and integrates into existing Hitachi SK-series camera infrastructures. Hitachi will also showcase the new HV-HD33, a compact, 3-MOS sensor, multi-standard, POV HD camera, and the super-small, self-contained, signal-sensor KP-HD20A HD camera.

Jets Hang In: Win Another One-Goal (?) Game
Nation World HQ
December 03 2011 08:22PM
The Winnipeg Jets are starting to get pretty good at this.
For the second straight game, the Jets didn't do a whole lot offensively, but they did win another one-goal game. OK, OK, it turned out to be a two-goal game because Evander Kane scored an empty-netter from his own blueline in the dying seconds, but for all intents and purposes the Jets won this one 3-2 and they were fortunate to get the W.
Saturday night, the Jets got a third-period game-winner at 13:13 from defenseman Mark Stuart and knocked off the New Jersey Devils 4-2. It was anything but a thing of beauty. The homeside was outplayed for the better part of 60 minutes, was outshot 25-20 and outchanced 13-6, and yet thanks to a lazy play in his own zone by Ilya Kovalchuk and a goaltending faux pas by Johan Hedberg, the Jets were allowed to come back from a 2-1 deficit to beat a team that should have had this one in the bag -- but found a half dozen ways to screw it up.
"it was tough to handle their size," said Jets head coach Claude Noel. "But I thought we really played a lot better in the third period. We played with a lot of energy. We buckled down. I thought we battled hard to get the win. But throughout the game I thought their size made it tough for us."
With the win, the Jets got back to .500 for the first time since Nov. 3 and at 11-11-4 find themselves in 11th place in the East, ahead of Tampa and Carolina and now third in the Southeast Division.
Now, we've talked at length at how the Jets MUST make some noise in December. Saturday night's game was the Jets third straight at home and the third in a stretch of 13 out of 15 games at MTS Centre. The Jets are clearly a better hockey team at home. At least, emotionally. With 15,004 passionate, screaming, crazy fans behind them, it has become clear that if this team can't play well at home it doesn't deserve a shot at the playoffs.
So on Saturday night, in a game where they were essentially outplayed for the better part of 60 minutes, the Jets got (a) solid goaltending from Ondrej Pavelec, (b) another extremely good game from Kane, who has turned into the great player everyone in this Jets organization believed he could be, (c) received some unexpected offensive help from Stuart (who played 21 minutes and 15 seconds), (d) had the fans out of their minds and (e) got a nice effort from Alexander Burmistrov, who scored the goal that changed the game's momentum.
"It was one of the toughest games we had to play this season," said Burmistrov, who scored his sixth of the year shorthanded when Kovalchuk fell asleep in his own zone "They check real well and they are always on the puck. They are tough to play against."
Burmistrov's first career shorthanded goal tied the game at 2-2 and might have saved the evening for the Jets. Patrik Elias had just scored a power-play goal to put New Jersey ahead 2-1 and thanks to Kovalchuk, who was actually the best player on the ice for 59 minutes, the Jets were able to tie it shorthanded.
But aside from Kovalchuk's snooze, Pavelec's solid goaltending and Burmistrov's shorthanded tally, the real star of the game was, once again, Kane.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound, 20-year-old has a five-game points streak (seven points in those five games) and has 12 points in his last nine games. With two goals Saturday night, Kane scored his 13th and 14th of the year. In his rookie year in Atlanta in 2009-10, Kane had 14 goals in 66 games. In his sophomore year last season with the Thrashers, Kane had 19 goals in 73 games. This year, he has 14 goals in 25 games and is on pace to score 44 this season. If he can possibly keep up this pace, he could emerge as one of the greatest scorers in the game today.
"He's playing really well especially when he comes down the wing and drives to the net," Noel said of Kane. "Look at the way he's playing now as opposed to the way he played at the beginning for the year. He's really playing well and he's playing well with his linemates (Little and Wellwood). He's using his speed and size and he's shooting the puck. He's not doing anything a lot different. He's just getting a lot of opportunities. He's gotta shoot the puck. And with his shot, why wouldn't he?"
The Winnipeg Jets are still not a great team, but if they continue to play well at home this month, they could muster enough points to get into the playoff hunt before they face 15-of-19 on the road starting in January.
Tuesday's game against the defending Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins will go a long way to detrmining exactly what this team is made of.
"I really like our group," said Noel. Right now, he has good reason to feel that way.

Good on M.Stuart to throw it at an aging goalie. But on that NJ PP goal he wasn't blocking the shot. Hainsey would've. Will have more injuries and won't make playoffs if don't plug holes. Lost the Jets early by rebuilding constantly. If we would've RFA'ed Teemu, Zhamnov, Tkachuk for 15 1st rounders in 1993, might've won the Cup in 1996 and kept franchise if perfect trades. The realignment discussion is just the Travelling Salesman problem. The goal should be to minimize Jet fuel with some reward for spreading out games against the same opponent. They put nodes on a computer chip to solve this very common biz problem.

...Pittsburgh nearly lost their franchise if didn't lottery Crosby. Toronto has always been about just missing the playoffs. Okay to finish 18th every year if a poor team, but our logo is about bombing T.O. and collusional owners. Penner and a kid D prospect for Oduya and 3rd rounder when D get healthy. Putting teams in Canada and northern USA makes sense. Helps make players which help all leagues.
C.Orr has a goal in 4 games and only 4:43 ice time. Over a season that is 21 goals. Give him 15 minutes and some PP ice time and he'd challenge Gretz's single season goal record. I saw the greatest beakaway attempt at a summer charity tourney. He wound up crashing headfirst into the boards but it was all heart.

The recent fire on Ferron Mountain brought about an opportunity the forest service took advantage of. This opportunity was the chance to train local Ferron EMTs on fire protocol.
Fred Kaminski, of the Ferron Ranger Station spoke about the recent fire. He said, "The fire was in a steep area and was very hazardous to put out. The original plan of action was to let the fire burn to the natural barriers to fire. Fire is dealt with in three ways; to confine the fire is to let it burn to those natural barriers. To contain the fire is to work on it a little; and to control the fire is to put it out completely. A group of specialists will look at each individual fire and determine what will be done with it. Resource specialists, forest supervisors, line supervisors and fire specialists will discuss the fire. The Ferron Mountain fire was an ugly place to put people.
"To begin with we sent eight people up to see that the fire didn't come off the west side. Then a few days into the fire 70 mph winds helped the fire along. A 20 person hot shot team was brought in from Logan as well as two helicopters. The helicopters dipped out of Millsite Reservoir and dumped the water on the fire.
"The crew had to hike into the area. It is ugly terrain and they had to go up steep cliffs. This is beautiful elk range. With the crew on the mountain and the high winds there was a real possibility of injury to those involved. At this point, we decided to involve the local EMTs. We brought them to a helibase in a field south of Ferron and briefed them on procedure and safety protocol.
"We had to weight the rescue equipment and the EMTs as well. We need to know exactly the weight of everything because the helicopter has a load capacity. They were shown how to board the helicopter while it was running and the blades were turning. They were instructed on how to work on a patient while in transit.
"Depending on the degree of a possible injury. The victim might be brought out and a transfer made to transport them to the University of Utah burn center. It just depends on the injury as to what would happen and where the patient would go. We didn't use the EMTs, which we are thankful for; but we know they are ready to go into a situation like this if needed.
"There are fire fighters on the mountain that are trained as EMTs, but they carry with them only a bare minimum of supplies and their fire gear. These EMTs bring with them more advanced forms of life support. It made sense to us at the forest service to reinforce the link between the mountain and the local EMT force. Also by training the locals we can keep the costs down. If we never use it then great; but if we do then everything is set up," said Kaminski.
Ann King, from the forest service said they are a month and a half early for the fire season. Local Ferron EMTs who were involved in the training include: Becky Nelson, Doris Walker, Maureen Copatch and Carey Boomer.
The EMTs said they all enjoyed the training and it was very fun. "We learned how to approach the helicopter and how to buckle in and out. We learned how to shut down for a hard landing. We learned how to take the removable transmitter with us in case of a crash landing so we would be able to be located. We also learned how to turn it on.
"We learned how to stock the helicopter with what we needed for an emergency. We put an oxygen tank and a backboard into the helicopter. We learned what a jump kit was. We also learned there are emergency survival kits on board with food and water to be used in a crash situation. We really enjoyed the experience. It was kind of windy that day, so we looked pretty wind blown. Probably the worst part was when we had to weigh in. They needed to know our weight and the weight of our equipment. 'It was a low blow,' they joked.
"We feel confident we could handle an emergency situation. It's not really any different than what we are used to; just the arriving on the scene in a helicopter would be different. The people at the forest service have been great, they were very organized and helpful," They said.
Nelson said, "It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and probably the closest I'll come to knowing what it would be like to be a flight nurse. Walker said it was her first time in a helicopter and she enjoyed the experience. "It was exciting but I'm glad we didn't have to go on an emergency.
John Healy, from the Ferron Ranger Station said, "We don't normally have a lot of fires in our area, but this year things are setting up to have a bunch. The majority will be from lightening strikes, similar to the fire we just put out. I am glad the local EMTs were willing to go through this training. In some fire situations, they have ambulances sitting on call.
The EMTs appreciate the support of the sheriff's office and Ferron City and the local community. Copatch said, "I was very impressed with the way safety comes first. The safety of the EMTs and the fire fighters was the primary concern of the forest service."
Kaminski said, "The lives of our people are more important than the forest."

A healthy vegan take on a classic muffin. Check out the story of my muffin inspiration and a recipe for incredibly cheerful cherry almond muffins at Maine Food & Lifestyle's blog, where I'm a guest contributor.
Blueberry Wheat Muffins1/4 cup softened vegan margarine
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup nondairy milk (I used vanilla soy)
1 soft brown banana*
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup frozen wild blueberries (try Wyman's, from our own dear Washington County!)
Preheat oven to 350F. Line a muffin tray with paper liners or oil the cups.
In a medium bowl, blend the margarine, applesauce, milk, banana, and vanilla until mostly smooth. If your banana is not completely squishy, you may have small chunks of it in the liquid mixture, and that is perfectly okay.
In a large bowl sift together the flours, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and combine without over-mixing.
Stir in blueberries.
Divide batter evenly among 12 muffin cups. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are browned.
Remove the muffins from the oven and cool them on a wire rack. Makes 12 small muffins.
*(If at any time you find yourself with more brown bananas than you can use, you can save them for later in the freezer. Just thaw them a few hours before you begin baking.)

Who are the Scientology Volunteer Ministers?
The Volunteer Minister (VM) program was launched more than thirty years ago, in response to an appeal by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard.
Noting a tremendous downturn in the level of ethics and morality in society, and a consequent increase in drugs and crime, Mr. Hubbard wrote, "If one does not like the crime, cruelty, injustice and violence of this society, he can do something about it. He can become a VOLUNTEER MINISTER and help civilize it, bring it conscience and kindness and love and freedom from travail by instilling into it trust, decency, honesty and tolerance."
Extensive information displays present the full array of tools for resolving any situation—from rescuing failing students or getting addicts off drugs, to alleviating emotional trauma of physical injuries, salvaging troubled relationships or solving human conflicts.
Volunteer Ministers also deliver seminars to police, firemen and disaster relief organizations with local community programs as well as through Goodwill Tours traveling from city to city with their tents.
So whether manning a tent at home or in a village 10,000 miles away, Scientology Volunteer Ministers all live by the same motto: "Something Can Be Done About It."
Because of their courage, compassion and training, they have become indispensable in times of greatest human need—traveling halfway around the world to help people who have lost everything in an earthquake, tsunami, hurricane, flood or the like.
This includes a corps hundreds strong at Ground Zero within hours of the 9/11 tragedy. It also includes more than 500 volunteers from 11 nations in Southeast Asia in the wake of the tsunami and over 900 Volunteer Ministers attending to victims in Louisiana and Mississippi in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Likewise, during the Haiti earthquake disaster, the Church of Scientology and its parishioners flew in planeloads of much-needed medical and food supplies. In addition, they have brought in hundreds of medical professionals and Volunteer Ministers to help Haitians cope with their losses and rebuild their lives.
Volunteer Ministers have also trained and partnered with over 1,000 different groups, organizations and agencies around the world, including the Red Cross, National Guard, Army Cadets, Salvation Army, Boy Scouts, Rotary Clubs, civil defense and disaster management agencies, YMCAs, police and fire departments of dozens of cities and towns and hundreds more national and regional groups and organizations.

"My crew and i are already looking into rebooking with you for next year! We are already making plans and looking forward to setting sail with waterway once again
Thank you all for such a wonderful experience, we have used other house-boating companies in the past but by far yours is our favorite and we WILL be returning to you again!
looking forward to seeing you all next year!
Samantha & Crew" (August 2016)
"Thank you we were very happy with our family holiday Unfortunately my eldest son was sick with the flu the whole trip, but it didn't stop the rest of us from enjoying the trip and the weather. This trip was a memory trip as a family In the previous 10 years my husband and I had always taken our 4 grandchildren in our motor home for a camping holiday as soon as they finished school. Unfortunately my husband passed away last fall. We had always talked about taking them on a houseboat on the Shuswap They got to have smores and a campfire at night like they loved from all their camping trips Thank you to all who helped make this a memorable experience. Sincerely Janet Skubiak" June 2016
" What a wonderful way to spend the long weekend with family and friends. The houseboat easily accommodated the 25 adults and children and Waterways were more than generous in providing such a wonderful houseboat and supporting great entertainment on the Shuswap. The concert Saturday afternoon was the icing on the cake.
Ron & Lynne " (May 2013)
"Every now and then you get the chance to do something super memorable, and super fun... this past May Long I had the opportunity to cruise the Shuswap in an incredible Waterways Houseboat with some of my best friends and family... we spent three days on the water, and the only thing I'd change about the trip is that it would have been longer. The Waterways staff made us feel so welcome, and so confident before we took to the water, and they were there at any point we needed anything. Gone are the days of the 'camper on a barge' style houseboat... this thing was luxury at it's finest! Granite countertops, comfy beds, even a chandelier that swayed back and forth with the gentle rocking of the boat. I know my friends and I will never forget the experience, and we're definitely planning to do it again... after all, what other type of vacation lets you go out in the wildnerness, on the water, with no one else around but the people you love? It's like camping but way more awesome! Thanks Waterways for the trip of a lifetime:)

Skip to comments.Farrakhan on Django Unchained: It's Preparation for Race War
Posted on 01/11/2013 9:15:54 PM PST by Bon of Babble
In an interview with YourBlackWorld.net, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan interpreted the movie Django Unchained as "preparation for a race war."
To me, the movie had a purpose, he said. If a black man came out of that movie thinking like Django and white people came out of that movie seeing the slaughter of white people and they are armed to the teeth, its preparation for a race war.
(Excerpt) Read more at nation.foxnews.com ...
Old Calypso Louie has finally chimed in! Wonder what took him so long?
Bring it on, Louie, let's get this over with!!
We're roller skating in a nitroglycerin factory.
Anybody falls down, and it's going to be Rwanda times Bosnia on steroids.
The 75% against the 12%. Did Louis ever take any math classes?
Bring it Louie
Oh! He expects the rest of the world to back Obama and himself against the racist whites, don't 'cha know?
Even calypso louie must realizes that this is fiction ... just a movie. But then again, he is always looking for a reason for the "great black revolution" that will change America. Fool.
They probably will.
Charles Manson, pick up the white courtesy phone, please.
Slim target choices around here, but if they feel froggy, let 'em jump! Y'all been pushing for this a couple decades now, might as well get it out of the way.
Country might just yet get back to an even keel once this has been settled.
i am so scared. /s
The fact that 99% of all other races won't live in your neighborhoods, Louie, is proof enough that their top priority is personal safety. So bring it on, you're badly outnumbered.
White people don't realize it but black people have a primordial fear that some day a violent genocidal race war will be upon them. That fear should not be considered paranoia since historically such genocidal rampages have occurred often suddenly and for seemingly trivial reasons.
Talk is cheap. They'd better bring it this time instead of opening their cheap pieholes for the past 2 decades.
But I think big..let's make it a civil war instead of a race war as I hate liberals and time to settle the score for what they did to my country..
Some of us have noticed.
How the hell is this POS still breathing..why hasn't cancer or a heart attack taken out this piece of garbage
Heck not even rich blacks live in the black community..you see Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan or any other black celebrity living in the Bronx or Harlem..of course not..they don't even want to be living amongst the black community
I have a gut feeling that you are dead on. I think they will too. I wonder if they know where the sun don't shine?
If something like what you describe were to take place Hussein will no doubt, somehow, place the police, guard and military on the side of non-Whites.
That was kind of my thoughts exactly. It is pretty crazy to think that a population of less than forty million would have a fighting chance against 195 million. That is only the EUROPEAN whites in America. When you factor in the 'White Hispanics" there are 240 million 'whites' in America TODAY. Not good odds
It is all perception. The USPS hires based on ethnicity with minorities receiving preferential treatment. The same is true for all Federal Agencies over the past twenty-five years.
Equal opportunity employer is code word for 'Whites Need Not Apply'.
If you are a white man and you apply for a government job, test the highest, show up for the final interview and you are the only white man there in a room full of female minorities, feel free to leave. YOU AIN"T GETTIN THAT JOB!
There IS a race war in this country and it has been going on for at least 30 years.
It is the BLACK race against the white race. Look at the stats of how much black on white crime there is and vice versa.
This is just more typical radical libtard talk.
I don't care to sit through the video, but it seems to me he's accusing the movie of trying to foment a race war, more of a warning. If black leaders protest this movie, that's a good thing.
'That fear should not be considered paranoia since historically such genocidal rampages have occurred often suddenly and for seemingly trivial reasons'
Yes, and most often between two black African tribes. Look at Rwanda. That was less than twenty years ago during St. William the Greats Administration.
Look at the Black on Black crime statistics. Thugs are thugs. Most crime is a crime of opportunity. White people in predominantly Black areas are sometimes the victims of Black criminals. Blacks in predominantly Black areas are OFTEN the victims of Black criminals.
Criminals are generally equal opportunity offenders.
Feelin' the love wit Lou. Keep thinking those happy thoughts you bow-tied freak.
Well, duh!
My point was that blacks commit crimes against whites a lot more frequently than the reverse. Black on black crime is completely out of control.
Crazy Louie has been hoping for a race war for a long, long time. He'd rather it be silent, one sided race war like the one we had from the 70's through the mid 90's but that is never spoken of.
Of course. Most people white AVOID predominantly Black areas. It is called self preservation.
Strike that / reverse it
Most white people.
Because Satan protects his own.
The list of reasons this concept is stupid, is endless.
Black on Black crime is already epidemic.
Given current demographics, if his prediction were ever initiated, it would quickly degenerate into fratricide.
Obama's dreams of "transformation", are fueled by this type of stratification.
Calypso Louie is hoping that the Obama Syndicate will launch into a full-blown gun confiscation program that takes away white America's guns. When the race war breaks out, the blacks will have the upper hand.
Just because people have been struck by lightning doesn't mean it's perfectly rational and not paranoid to expect it.
Time to increase Planned Parenthood's budget by a power of 10.
"Looks like I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue" - Calypso Louie
I am grateful everyday, I got out of CA and into the deep South.
Sooner or later, there's only going to be one race left in the world. Not because of war, but simply because of intermarriage, or at least interbreeding.
What are the race pimps going to do then?
The genocide is already well underway due to the evils of abortion:
And yet not a word from Calypso Louie about this crime by those seeking to destroy his people...and doing it quite successfully, especially with the Obama regime in control.
The racist, DISARMED whites? I'm wondering if Putin steps up to the plate after 0bama asks for help after showing he's "flexible" following the Russian-masterminded op at Sandy Hook (guesswork on my part).
I do recall reading in several books that cited how the loving left was thankful to have the blacks ready to fight the good fight. They use them mercilessly and it's rather disgusting.
But hey, as long as they want to listen to Louie et al,
I guess they have no one to blame. What a sad and sick world we live in.
The Hispanics in L.A. have ethnically cleansed blacks from many areas, from what I read. There is no love lost between those two groups.
"There IS a race war in this country and it has been going on for at least 30 years.
It is the BLACK race against the white race. Look at the stats of how much black on white crime there is and vice versa."
From time to time some of the violent offenders actually do describe themselves as 'soldiers'. Criminality and street socialism walk hand in hand fairly often though. Red Guards and Sturmabteilung come to mind.
I guess you don't play golf. Of "course", these days they chase you off at the slightest hint. Time was you had to chicken out yourself. It takes a brave man to chicken out.

District holding meeting on achievement gap
Shorewood — The School Board is holding a "big idea" meeting in April on the achievement gap in Shorewood schools.
At the April meeting, date to be determined, the board and administrators will discuss the achievement gap and what measures, like test scores, attendance and behavior patterns, among others, can be used to quantify it, District Communications Coordinator Rachel Vesco said.
The April meeting will be informational and precede a community conversation on how to go about closing the gap.
"(The School Board) wants to get everyone on the same page before they do that," Vesco said.
Leading the big idea meeting will be a Closing the Achievement Gap Consortium sponsored by North Shore school districts.
The consortium, led by Wisconsin School Board Association Executive Director John Ashley, takes place 5:30 p.m. March 19 in in the Lakeshore Room at Concordia University, 12800 N. Lake Shore Drive, Mequon.
Shorewood drafting later-start schedules
Shorewood — On recommendation from a recently formed scheduling committee, the School Board on Tuesday directed Superintendent Marty Lexmond to work with district stakeholders and return with draft later-start middle and high school schedules.
The schedules are expected to have start times between 8-8:30 a.m. and end times around 3 p.m. Committee members have been working through the start time issue in recent months in reaction to parental concerns over the high school 7:35 a.m. start time, and sleep research that suggests students should start later rather than earlier.
Viewpoints were varied Tuesday evening as parents and students turned out to weigh in on both sides of the start-time issue, District Communications Coordinator Rachel Vesco said.
The board didn't set a deadline for the draft schedules to return for consideration, Vesco said, though the schedule change is tentatively planned for the 2014-15 school year.

Planning under way for Glendale's Fourth of July festivities
Glendale — Although July is still months away, planning for Glendale's annual Fourth of July festivities is already well under way.
Bryan Kennedy, chair of the Fourth of July Committee, provided the Common Council with an update on the tentative schedule and action plan for the event, which includes a full day of activities, beginning with the children's parade at 10 a.m. and concluding with fireworks at 9:15 p.m.
In between, activities include a children's carnival, food vendors, softball, soccer, music and other events from noon to 5 p.m., as well as other vendors from 5 to 9 p.m. Kennedy said the committee has discussed having bounce houses and relay races for children, as well as the possibility of performances or presentations by community groups, which would require rental of a temporary stage.
