"TranceFormation in Concert" was named a Downbeat Critics Poll Best Vocal CD selection (Alain Drouot, Downbeat, WNUR-FM, 2012)
TranceFormation - In Concert
CONNIE CROTHERS, piano
By Marc Medwin
50 years after it became a topic of public interest and controversy, many still have the wrong idea about freedom in improvised music. In one of those "What is the Beat Generation" lectures of the late '50s, Jack Kerouac exclaimed, "Responsibility? Who wouldn't help a dying man on an empty road!" His comment addresses a fundamental characteristic of human interaction and, consequently, musical interaction when two or more improvisers assemble. They share the responsibility either to communicate with each other or not, but the decision is integral to their freedom. TranceFormation's debut shows that when such considerations are taken seriously, the resulting music can be miraculous. The disc's opening phrases give the game away. Bassist Ken Filiano begins a line and pianist Connie Crothers continues it, both acting with the absolutely natural simplicity of a conversation. This happens repeatedly as the music proceeds; there's a remarkable moment in "Whale Song" where Filiano hints at a pulse, Crothers offers a bluesy retort and the two lock into a groove that broadens and pervades the texture. Hearing the pitch complexes on offer, vocalist Andrea Wolper circles the pattern, ultimately adopting and flavoring it with swells and sudden full-voice bursts. These switches from parallel to serial listening are delightfully unpredictable and satisfying on many levels, speaking to deep listening and collaboration. Crothers and Filiano have fostered a well-documented musical relationship in her quartet, but these performances mark the first time that Wolper has recorded with them. The timbre of her voice conjures uncanny shades of Jeanne Lee and Grace Slick, drawing on rhetoric that juxtaposes 'soul' slides and operatic bloom with easy skill. Her collaborators demonstrate similar diversity, jumping into tradition with acrobatic dexterity and casting it aside with the muscular certainty only experience affords. Ben Manley's recording is gorgeous as usual and it captures each detail of the multivalent interaction that inhabits every moment of this group's excellent first offering. May there be many more!

Mel's Show and Tell — I'm a Grinch
I know it's taboo for a childless person to criticize parents, but I have some parent bloggers on my blog roll who I don't believe act this way.
My ex's brother and SIL, for example, just don't say no to their 2 boys. Their sense of entitlement is off the charts. Last year at Christmas ex's sister decided (I'm sure at the urging of her husband) that her constant gifts to her nephews were not appreciated. So she scaled back. She got them some beautiful books. The 4 year old had a screaming, crying tantrum, because Aunt L got him "Just a book!!"
Please tell me internets, it's not my holiday, so maybe I'm missing something, but where's the spirit of Christmas in that?
Don't get me wrong, I love giving and receiving gifts. I love choosing something special for someone and seeing their expression when I get it right. I don't buy many gifts for my 10 year old niece, because, quite frankly, I think my gifts get lost in the piles of stuff she has. I also want her to be glad to see me without looking for a gift. When she was about 3 or 4 I took the train to visit (they live about an hour by commuter train from me), when I got in my sister's car after getting off the train, my niece asked what I brought her. She'd never done that before. I looked her in the eyes and said, "You have all my love. What else do you need?" She grinned and said, "Oh, okay. I love you, too." She never did it again.
I wonder, internets, do you think the overindulgers are trying to fill something in themselves?
Okay, so after all that telling, let me show you something. That's not, IMHO, overindulgent. Here's one of The June Bride's darling fleece hats.
For a chance to win a custom made infant or toddler hat in your choice of color (and pitch in for a wonderful cause) please check out this post.
Don't forget to check out what the rest of the class is showing this week.

I think you're right on about the economy and about overindulgence by some parents and family members. I have a patient who really believes that his nephews and neices only value him when he spends a lot on him. Which is just sad. I've been trying to help him see that HE is the one giving the message that that is his only value. If he felt better about his own worth, he could send another message - that what they need are his time and attention.
That said, I'm another childless person, so what do I know? By the time we actually get a child, should we be so lucky we probably won't have enough money left to overindulge even if we wanted to : )

I know exactly what you are saying and I agree. In our family this year except for the kids we all decided to donate to charities in the others name. We chose individual charities that mean something to the other person. I think it was a great idea.

I agree, it's excessive. This is why kids are asking for huge video game systems, computers, TVs, etc. becasue they know they WILL get them. It's not the kids' fault, they've obvious learned it from someone. I know parents want to make thier kids happy, but they also need to be taught to apreciate what they have and the girfts they do get. Otherwise, it sets them up for a lifetime of wanting. Listen to me, like I have a clue, I don't have kids. I'm sure one day I'll think I way better "parent" before I had kids. I need to write myself advise now. LOL.

I agree. What really put things into perspective this week - a book my daughter is doing a book report on. It's from the colonial times. The girl had only one dress that was too small on her and her parents couldn't find the $ to buy her a new one. Her parents were contemplating having to sell a cow to buy her a dress. Sure puts things into perspective.

I have seen some insane gifting in the last few years, at least in MHO. DH and I have had several conversations on what we would do and how we would handle the questions if we ever are blessed to have children. I can't fathom buying 50+ presents for one child and not have really any of them be things that they need. I can't fathom spending $200+ on one gift for a child under 13... probably even older than that. I just don't get it.
We have opted, for the parents that will let us and appreciate it, giving money to the kids college funds or buying bonds. However, some parents in our family circle do not appreciate that gesture and have actually told us to buy their kids gifts instead. We always buy a book or small toy so that there is something to open but they still didn't want their kids just getting that. Personally, most of the children around us, have more things than they will ever need. Even those that are considered to be in need by the rest of the family. There is just too much emphasis on stuff lately.

Dora, I could go on and on about the excess and overindulgence of Americans, but I won't. I work at a high school where I teach the kids of many of the affluent in my community and they exemplify the type of entitlement you speak of. I can not even believe the types of gifts they get for Christmas. It's absolutely insane and then they complain about what they wanted, but didn't get! Blech! Then on the opposite end of the spectrum I have the Hmong and Mexican immigrants who get nothing. That's sad too.
Both mine and J's families decided to do a name exchange this year, so we had very little to buy. I suggested that we buy for a needy family instead of buying so much for each other. Everyone seemed pleased with this option. We "adopted" a needy Hmong family in my community and I feel so good for giving them a Christmas to remember!

I've seen a lot of people spending way too much on gifts... and I agree with you. But as another childless IF... what do I know, right?
I am only buying presents for my nieces and nephews this year. I spend the same amount on them each year for x-mas, no matter what. I coincidentally also spend that same amount of each of them for their birthdays.
All the adults are just getting cookies, ha ha ha.

- Cara said...
Oh Dora - my love for you just grows by the day. You wrote this so perfectly. Did you see my post with the same idea? I think a rant would have been more effective. Anyway, to answer your question...
Yes! I think the overindulgence gets passed from generation to generation until it becomes an expectation. And - regardless of how much you have in the bank that year - you are expected to put Rockafellar under the tree.
Wanna know a secret? Remember the girl's lists I posted? They are only four items deep, so reaonable (especially with The Comedian's taste in gifts) - but we are intentionally NOT giving them one item, to promote being grateful for what they DO get.

I think people go way over board too but it's even worse now with the economy. I remember years ago a child my family knew who was given so many gifts at christmas he had to start opening them days before hand.
As far as spending with the current economy? Doesn't make much sense.
- December 21, 2008 at 10:45 PM
I also feel that the amount of gifts that my children received during the holidays borders on the obscene.
I too scaled Christmas back some this year. We sponsered a needy family instead and made some other donations to worthwhile charities.
Each of my neices and nephews got 2 gifts each. A toy and an outfit.
Christmas is about more important messages than the gifts you receive. Teaching that to our children should be a top priority.

DH and I had to go to Best Buy this weekend (no really, we had to -- needed to buy a part to salvage data from the destroyed laptop) and I had the exact same thought about the economy. Despite most people saying they are strapped for cash, the store was filled with crazed shoppers (and the parking lot of the adjacent mall was insane). I thought to myself that not in spite of but because of the bad economy, people would be spending more than they should, since it's "only once a year."
All of our family holiday celebrations have been derailed for various reasons this year, and we've decided to forego the gift exchange entirely. Instead, we're doing a "buy your own damn present" gift exchange -- if you want something, buy it. Present #1: replacement laptop!

You are absolutely right about the overindulgence. I think there is a lot of value in scaling down the holidays.

I totally agree with you about overindulgence. My niece got a NICE camera for Christmas last year and has no idea where it is. This isn't the first time she's lost it either. I understand that children can be careless, but she didn't even CARE that she lost it! So, no you are not alone in your feelings!
Enjoy your day,

I agree 100% .I think there is too much overindulgence by many people and on Credit ...I am a Grinch too.
At 2 yrs the child can't possible understand why she has so many gifts - so why bother.

You have pegged it. I think the excessiveness is going to be reflected in future spending for years to come. I hope it changes.
We have had to set down a lot of ground rules to get family (and ourselves) out of the spend, spend spend mode. It can be done though.
Our rule - Kids under 10 get gifts (usually books or an educational toy) and everyone else gets a family gift - usually homemade salsa and chips or baked goods wrapped up in a dish towel. I hate seeing wrapping paper scattered everywhere. Who can't use a dish towel?
We do purchase presents for our parents and my brother + family.
- December 23, 2008 at 1:32 AM
Oh, you worded this SO well!!! It's hard not to be critical as an infertile with no kids, but sometimes I want to wring people's necks!!!
I know I shouldn't speak, but I want to teach my kids to appreciate what they have and to LEARN from their toys. I love my nephews to pieces and I love to spoil them, but this year we scaled way back for these same reasons. They have so many toys that ours will just be forgotten three days after Christmas anyway.
I think it's definitely fulfilling something of the parents' when they have to overindulge for their children. That being said, I have no idea how I will be as a parent when it actually happens. But I hope that I spend more money on books than I do on trendy gifts that will last a month. I hope that my kids enjoy learning and that I can teach them to appreciate gifts.
Well said...and thanks! that was a good vent!!

Well said Dora - some people need to have a reality check of things in life. There are horror stories of the unemployment rates and the economy going south and everything else, yet the malls and stores are FULL of people with this glazed shopaholic look in their eyes. I mean, priorities, people!!
Materialism is so rampant in the society today, that a gesture or a thought can immediately get minimized by "It's JUST a book" type of reaction!
BTW - I have a blog award for you on my blog. Check it out!

- Sam said...
I couldn't agree more! I do think that we NEED to spend in order to stimulate the economy again, BUT there are still limits, we should only spend what we can afford and at the same time teach children that they cannot have everything that they want and it is greedy to keep asking and expecting more.
I will happily buy the odd extra surprise present but do not expect that present to be expected. If you see what I am trying to get at here!!
Merry Christmas!

Accurate Observation Dora! Even if the economy was not in the dumps, it would not still have qualified as the apt reason to have a gift overload. 10 clothes for a 2 year old? Great! How many days would she possibly be able to wear them. I always do carry gifts for my SIL's daughter, but am always conscious about what the little girl may not have yet (a cuddly doll was last present). Children are not stupid. Their love cannot be bought by sloshing them with gifts....And if they start hankering at people not bringing them 'enough' gifts, maybe they are not learning the right values!
- December 24, 2008 at 7:19 AM
You are right on over indulgence. And I am guilty of it this year. I just gave my Friend's kids a DVD player for Christmas for their little play theater. One said, "Thank you!"... the other, "We have to share?"

>Counter Strike Global Offensive?
It's about time! Those three words were the first ones that entered my mind upon first hearing that a new Counter Strike game was in the works.
Rumors have been circulating about a new CS game since last month. Top community members were said to have been flown out to Valve headquarters to give their input.
Then yesterday, in a thread on the Steam forums speculating about the possibility of a new CS game, Jess Cliffe (One of the original creators of CS and a Valve employee) posted these two simple words…"Global Offensive".
These occurences, along with posts on Facebook by ESEA and tweets from ESL Pro manager Bastian Vieser (who talked about playing a game called Counter Strike: Global Offensive), all point to Valve being set to release a new version of Counter Strike sometime in the near future.
A post on ESEA's news site sums up the most current rumors up to this point:
Planned to be released Q1 2012
Focuses on 5v5 competition
Press release within 24 hours from VALVE – Confirmed
Plays on an updated source engine
Individual & Team rankings
New Guns added
New Grenades
Dust & Aztec major revamp
Spamming still viable
Ammo is free
ESEA also tweeted a confirmation that Valve will have a press release with more information about the game within the next 24 hours.
Suffice it to say, I am beyond excited. As many of you know (and tease me about) I am a diehard Counter Strike veteran. In my opinion it's the greatest and most influential online shooter of all time and to see it finally being paid serious attention by Valve again fills me with joy. I cannot wait to see what this upcoming press release will reveal about the game!
Stay tuned to KBMOD.com for more informations as this story continues to break!

Can you believe that 2014 is going to end in just a couple of months? But also so may your Dental Benefits! Every year you are given annual dental benefits by your employer and/or insurance to take care of your dental health. But many don't realize that often the benefits will expire if they are not used. So it is a USE IT OR LOSE IT situation.
According to the American Dental Association it is important that you visit your dentist at least twice a year to get your check up done and cleaning. Most problems can be fixed at a very early stage before they can become a major issue. So don't wait until it hurts. Contact us and schedule an appointment today. Remember, a lot of people will be doing the same thing so do it early to avoid the last minute, end-of-year rush.
Also, please let your family and friends know too, so they are aware of their benefits as well.

Ideas List
For some second-time brides and grooms, wedding
planning can be a sensitive subject. Will you have bridesmaids? Will you have a small or large ceremony? Who all should you include in the guest list? The details are endless. But the key to second weddings is simple—plan an event that reflects both of you. A wedding that embodies the hopes and dreams you have for one another. The kind of wedding that expresses your heartfelt love and commitment. If you're planning a second wedding, consider this wedding essentials advice.
1. Communicate often: sit down together and really talk about what is important to each of you to have in your wedding.
2. Discuss goals and expectations of each other and of yourselves: If you or your fiance has children, give them a specific role during the wedding so they feel involved and are active participants in the wedding essentials ceremony. If they are too young to participate make sure you have designated a family member or friend to watch over them. If lots of small children are attending, consider setting up a separate play area with a baby sitter so that the kids have lots of activities and supervision.
3. Find ways to make your wedding essentials intimate and special: Some venues will allow you to cater your own dinner/reception. Depending upon your budget you can ask family to bring or cook special dishes. Picnic tables and benches may come with the space rental. Or ask your caterer to prepare an appetizer bar with a mixture of hot and cold plates, make your guests feel they are special.
4. Consider alternative ceremony and reception sites: Getting married at a B&B is a good choice if you plan to have your reception in the same location, avoid the hassle and stress of being on time, arrive the night before, have the rehearsal dinner and go to bed! Pick a B&B that has plenty of sightseeing activities nearby for your family and guests.

Back to the future is the vibe with the most recent string of big news coming out of Busch Stadium. After the sudden (yet not completely unexpected) retirement of Tony LaRussa, the St. Louis Cardinals quickly ended their search for a successor by going with a familiar face from TLR's tenure.
Mike Matheny will be announced today as the new manager of the Cardinals, closing out a coaching search that included a variety of different options and ways the team could have went in. And in going with Matheny, the team will get a world of game experience, but no management (or even big league coaching) experience. This is general manager John Mozieliak's first coaching hire since taking over control of the team in 2007, and it is a radical departure from the course the team has been on historically.
Take this for the lineage of Cardinal leaders: with the exception of Mike Jorgensen, who briefly stood in as interim manager in 1995, the last three managers of the team are, or will be soon, members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. From Whitey Herzog's run throughout the 80's, to Joe Torre who replaced him and finally to franchise's most winning coach of all-time in LaRussa. Not to mentioned other HOFers such as Red Schoendienst, Frankie Frisch and Branch Rickey, there's no shortage of expectation that comes with leading the St. Louis' flagship sporting institution.
Enter Matheny, who's lack of experience (0 games as a MLB coach in any capacity) is a worry point for many, and justifiably so. There is a lot of nothing here: nothing that says he can't do it, but nothing that says he can either.
There's a lot to consider here with this move. It's neither doomsday or business as usual. Check me out at St. Louis Sports 360 to see the rest of THIS ARTICLE and my extensive covering of all things Cardinals related here: http://stlouissports360.com/

NYC: Time & Life Building - Cubed Curve
Cubed Curve, a large, blue metal sculpture by William Crovello outside the Time-Life Building at 1271 Avenue of the Americas ws originally commissioned by the Association for a Better New York and installed in 1972.
The Time-Life Building, at 1261 6th Avenue, was built in 1958 to the design of Wallace K. Harrison of Harrison & Abramovitz. The 587-foot tall modernist office tower was the first building in the Rockefeller Center extension plan. At the time of its completion, the building was the tallest slabformed skyscraper in the city and i's 48-floors of 2,600 m² were the largest in the world thanks to the column-free interior spaces, with the support columns rising outside the curtain wall, at 8.53 m intervals. Time-Life occupied 21 floors, with the rest rented out to various tenants--fictiously including the advertising firm Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce from the AMC television series, Mad Men.
The Time-Life Building is set back 82-feet from Sixth Avenue and 33-feet from 50th Street, creating streetside plaza spaces which are paved with a wavy-effect multicolour mosaic which extends to the inside lobby. the 16-foot high lobby makes extensive use of stainless steel panelling and features large murals by Fritz Glamer and Joseph Albers.

This is old news by now. Part of the new Income Tax Bill contains a provision that would allow the Heritage Minister to deny key tax credits to films that the government deems offensive or 'not in the public interest.' I was wondering what exactly these tax credits are that everyone is concerned about losing. There's a little something about them here; apparently, it's a refundable credit of sixteen percent of wages paid to Canadians or Canadian companies in making a movie. If the government doesn't like what your movie has to say, though, it will soon have the power to deny you this credit, and it would seem that for a lot of films, that is effectively a death sentence.
Now, the strangest part of the whole Bill C-10 is that people who could care less about s.13 of the Human Rights Act are suddenly crying 'censorship' when it comes to funding movies. I have had people argue to me that the bill is actually worse than s. 13, because at least a respondent before the Human Rights Tribunal has a chance to appeal all the way to the Supreme Court, while the filmmaker denied his credit gets no such review. Someone actually quoted Madam Justice McLachlin's (as she then was) argument from the Keegstra case, that any drawing a line between acceptable and unacceptable speech catches not only the speech that crosses the line, but anything that would be close - because no one will want to take a chance. I would have no problem with people making these points if they would apply them equally to instances of real censorship - the kind involving government commissions investigating and charging citizens for the offence of sharing ideas.
This is not to make apologies for Bill C-10. The best the Heritage Ministry can say about it is that they would not enforce it very strictly, and so we shouldn't worry that the next Crash will lose its tax credit. If Canada is going to be in the business of funding movies, that doesn't mean it should be sitting in the MPAA chair, combing through our scripts looking for salaciousness, wielding their red pens. All I mean to say is: Some perspective, please. Let's get the state out of its increasingly comfortable position between the writer's pen and the page.

Long Live the Bride
Trailer [IT]
by Ascanio Celestini
Nicola spends his time drinking, pretending he is trying to quit. This is his story and of many others he encounters by fate or by chance like in a road movie... This is also Sabatino's story, who cons insurance companies by staging fake automobile accidents but one day he is drunk and the accident proves deadly. Even Concellino cons insurance companies but wants to make a career out of it. This is Salvatore's story, son of Anna and maybe even Nicola, since Anna is a prostitute and doesn't know who Salvatore's father is. Nicola's dad instead has been dead for a long time but he still dreams about him, his mother is a petite woman whose only wish before she dies is to see her son marry Sofia whose father named after Sofia Loren in De Sica's movie, wanting her to be just like her. Sofia says she is going to run away with her friend and go to Spain, but she never leaves Cinecittà… It is the tale of the mechanic from Abruzzo who also works at night as a parking attendant. Anna hides out at his place after shooting her pimp. It is the story of Sasà who will end up worse off than everyone in a police station in the suburbs. Then there is Marino who never speaks and the Ukranian little girl, the taxi driver who takes Nicola home, sees him drunk and makes his pay the ride twice. Amidst all of these stories we find the American who travels through Italy dressed as a bride. In a country without hope, but not desperate since the opposite of hope at times is not desperation but fate.

If you have been surfing the World Wide Web for a while you may have discovered, to your horror, the existence of BLOGS. Blogs are online journals (web log) where people prattle about how their shopping trip went, their new haircut or why they are mad at Chris. I thought I'd jump on the blandwagon and try a blog too.
Nothing good on TV today so had to resort to creative channel surfing to amuse myself. That's when you change channels at the end of a phrase on TV and hope the person on the next channel can continue it. For example: "guaranteed to remove spots..." click "covered with melted cheese..." click "to which a White House spokesman responded..." click "Beef! It's what's for dinner." You get the idea. Personally I find it more entertaining than most TV shows.Monday:
I've been thinking about those meteoric rocks from Mars that scientists have found fossils in. There is also evidence that suggests Mars was once covered by huge oceans. Where there were ancient oceans and fossils there is a good chance there will also be fossil fuels. I hereby lay claim to all the Martian oil on Mars or anyplace else for that matter. Now I can smile at my creditors with the secret knowledge that someday my great, great, grandchildren will be filthy rich. I will have to go to city hall tomorrow and see if they have the proper forms for me to fill out and beat the rush.Tuesday:
Can't remember anything I did today except for asking someone if today was Tuesday. They said, "No!"Wednesday:
Thank God it's Friday!Thursday:
Tonight, at dinner, I recalled how one night, many years ago, I woke up screaming from a "naked at work" dream. I was so embarrassed I called in sick for a week. The memory made me smile. Then I spent the rest of dinner cleaning the oatmeal off my shirt.Friday:
Suddenly got the feeling that my apartment was bugged by some alphabet agency so I played Bob Marley records all afternoon to torture them. Best concert I ever saw was Marley when he was in Connecticut in '76. He received a standing ovation the moment he walked out on stage. The only other time I saw an audience do that was at an Andrea Bocelli concert three years ago in Hartford. Of course you have to consider that Bocelli has the sympathy factor going for him as he is blind, while Marley was only stoned. No sympathy factor there.Saturday:
It's interesting how computers on the Net have gotten so smart lately. You go to a dot.commerce site or search engine and do a search on, for example, "golf clubs" and you get offered golf shoes, books, videos, clothes magazines and all things golf. There are these cookies that get sent onto your hard drive which are mini-profiles of you, the user. Based on these mini-profiles the web sites offer you products that their computer thinks you need. So, what I don't understand is why do I keep getting so many pop-ups for Viagra?

2 Timothy 4:1-18
Paul knows he's likely facing the end of his life as he writes this letter of 2 Timothy. So the first thing we see is Paul urging Timothy to preach the Word and carry on ministry. Paul then does a look back at his life and shares his experiences as a help to Timothy. He talks about fighting the good fight and finishing well and even recounts a number of situations where individuals didn't stick with him and his work for the Lord in that good fight. But then he ends with these encouraging words: "But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it" (vs. 17).
What did you learn from Paul in this passage about doing ministry? How has the Lord stood by you and strengthened you as you've worked for Him? Tami W.

FOND DU LAC, Wis. - Top-seeded Marian shot 67.7 percent in the first half and never looked back as it defeated the eighth-seeded Wisconsin Lutheran College men's basketball team 83-63 Saturday night at Sadoff Gymnasium in a NACC Tournament Quarterfinal game. The loss ends the Warriors' season at 10-16 overall and 7-13 in conference play.
The Warriors started strong from the floor, making four of their first five three-point attempts for a 15-12 lead with 14:00 minutes remaining in the first half. Unfortunately for WLC, its lead didn't last long as the Sabres went on separate scoring runs of 13-0 and 16-0 to pull away from the Forest Green and White. In all, MU used a 40-7 burst over the last 13:38 of the first period to lead by an impressive 30 points, 52-22, at halftime.
DJ Escamilla (Hartland, Wis./Arrowhead) netted 12 of his team-high 14 points in the first half as WLC struggled from the floor, shooting just 28 percent (7-for-25). The Sabres shot a blistering 67.7 percent (21-for-31) from the floor, including 47.6 percent (10-for-21) from long distance. Cody Veleke scored 21 points on a perfect 9-for-9 shooting for Marian in the period.
Marian maintained its shooting success for much of the second half as it led by a game-high 38 points with 12:38 remaining. The Warriors would not go away, however, as they went on a 17-0 run to get within 21 points at the 8:13 mark. WLC came within 20 points as the final horn sounded.
Escamilla was the lone Warrior to reach double figures in the contest as 11 players reached the scoring column. Nate Siemers (Nicollet, Minn./Minnesota Valley Lutheran) corralled a game-high 11 rebounds. The Warriors shot 34.5 percent (20-for-58) for the game.
Veleke finished 10-for-10 from the floor for 23 points to pace three Sabres in double figures. Marian, which shot 59.6 percent (31-for-52), assisted on 24 of its 31 made field goals. The Sabres (20-6) advance to host fourth-seeded Aurora in Wednesday's semifinals.

I'm a daughter, a mother, a sister, business owner and a friend. I'm also a parent and a doula. I'm a writer. I love helping people see the world differently and help them feel better about themselves. I'm all sorts of things …… and just because, I now give you this:
25 Random Things About Me
1. I am really bad at making small talk and have no sense of humor…
2. My most favourite thing to eat is BREAD followed closely by curry. I can live on breyani.
3. I can't stand being cold – I absolutely hate winter. I always need to be warm. I drive with the heater on in my car during summer too.
4. I really don't like watching TV.
5. I absolutely adore reading, but don't do it nearly enough. Thankfully, I read crazy fast, so when I finally start reading, I finish a book quickly.
6. I have very little desire to travel anywhere that I can't drive home from. I'd be willing to drive for 7 days straight, so I can travel pretty far. I just love driving. But I do fly- I just hate it.
7. I collect books.
8. I really want to quit smoking.
9. I love working from home, so when the company grew, I decided to have offices build on my property as I enjoy having the kids around me. I also love working with women and especially other moms.
10. I LOVE coffee. I can't live without it. Nothing makes me happier than a piping hot coffee.
11. I try really hard not to hurt other people's feelings, even when I should probably say something for their own good or to stand up for myself.
12. I don't understand how people don't believe in God, and am thankful that I do. My strength is not enough to get me through this life, and I need Him to lean on.
13. I use only natural products and no products containing petrochemical by products or parabens. Same goes for my kids. (Except for Aunty Jackie for the kids hair!)
14. I hate fighting.
15. I never enjoyed pregnancy. But I LOVE babies so much.
16. I'm afraid of being buries alive. Hence, I am an organ donor.
17. I have two dogs that I love as much as my children.
18. I have never watched Game of Thrones, so for all of you people that use that show as reference, I have no idea what you're talking about. AND I have no desire to watch them. I did force myself to watch Twilight this year though, and I'm still confused.
19. I love the sound of my dad's voice, and could listen to him talk all day long.
20. I own a PR Company and can't see myself not doing it. I live and breathe PR.
21. I am always busy with something. I love going on vacation, but I always take my laptop and phone with. I am always connected to the outside world.
22. I love nothing more than to get my hair done on a regular basis. I even go to the salon once a week.
23. I drink copious amounts of water. Can someone actually drink too much water?
24. I love cooking. Not a little bit, but with every fibre of my being. It really makes me happy.
25. I am REALLY bothered by words and actions that are reactive as opposed to pro-active. I would rather fight for what's right than to stand back and just let things happen. I truly believe that people don't have to fail before they learn a lesson.

London-based not-for-profit training organisation and factory Fashion Enter has bought tailoring manufacturer Gloria Fashions for an undisclosed sum.
Gloria Fashions specialises in high-quality production and has made garments for top-end British labels and royalty.
Founded in 1956 by brothers Robert and George King, the family business has been run in recent years by Robert's son David.
Fashion Enter CEO Jenny Holloway said: "I have high respect for David, his wife Janice and daughter Mandy. To me Gloria Fashions has always been a bastion for high quality reliable production and to now have the opportunity to work alongside David is just fantastic news for the industry."
David King added: "To now be working in the new government tailoring academy with Fashion Enter means I can pass on decades of skills and expertise to a new generation. I have long admired Jenny for the work she does on education. This is a new exciting chapter and nothing will change for our clients. We are going to carry on making even more production as we have record orders now."

Microsoft just launched a whole lot of new stuff at the Xbox press conference at E3 2018 at Los Angeles. The new games that Microsoft unveiled include new Halo and Gears of War games, Fallout 76, The Division 2, Dying Light 2, a brand new Cyberpunk 2077 trailer, and a new samurai action game called Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice from the makers of Dark Souls.
Quite a few of the games shown were from other developers that will be available on platforms other than the Xbox and this was a welcome sight. So let's take a look at what Microsoft showcased this year.
Halo Infinite
This will perk up some Halo fans as a new game is about to come and we even get a look at Master Chief who is holding on to his helmet, getting ready for some action as some marines ride a warthog towards him. There is no other information given on this game right now by Microsoft.
Ori and the Will of the Wisps
We were treated to some visuals from the sequel of Ori and the Blind Forest and the new game looks just as beautiful as the last one. Not much seems to have changed with the visuals and the gameplay, and the game will be hitting the shelves in 2019.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
This hack and slash game from the makers of Dark Souls came as a surprise to everyone and boy does it look good. From Software is sticking to its guns and doing what it does best. This game takes heavily after Bloodborne with the hack and slash and the use of grappling hook. This game in coming in 2019 and will be available on Xbox One, PC and PlayStation 4.
Fallout 76
Our first look of Fallout 76 from Bethesda came at the Xbox event where the developers basically explained that this is four times the size of Fallout 4, and will be set in the hills of West Virginia. The company didn't reveal much else here and kept most of the details to be revealed at its own press conference held later.
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit
This charming little game is set in the universe of Life is Strange and follows a young boy whose imaginative story comes to life. This is going to be a free to play game available from June 26.
Crackdown 3
We got yet another look at Terry Crews' Crackdown 3 where he basically talks about himself, a lot. This game uses a lot of neon and gives the ingame Terry insane powers. The release seems to have been delayed again, and now it stands at February 2019.
Metro: Exodus
This is a very regular Metro trailer with some classic stuff from the games. According to the devs this time the world is even more expansive than before. This too will be coming out in February 2019.
Kingdom Hearts 3
Square Enix has made an announcement that will make Kingdom Hearts as well as Disney fans quite happy. Kingdom Hearts 3 will be merging its world with Frozen and Tangled to feature Elsa, Anna as well as Rapunzel. The game is set to hit the shelves on January 29, 2019.
Forza Horizon 4
Forza Horizon 4 is taking the action to Britain and the devs described the game as a seamless, shared-world online game. Xbox One X will feature a 60 fps mode and the game will be out on October 2 and will be included in Xbox Game Pass at the same time.
The Division 2
The Division 2 gameplay trailer showed us a varied terrain in the game in a rather short span of time. In the six minute trailer we witnessed the game move from what looked to be a dense forest to metropolitan streets of DC. Here again it looks to be a multiplayer oriented gameplay. This game is coming out on March 15, 2019.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Though there was no new information, just another trailer that shows that Crystal Dynamics hasn't changed too much from the last two games. This will hit the market on September 14 this year.
No details, just the trailer drop of a skating game.
Devil May Cry 5
Devil May Cry 4 was a while back and we are definitely ready for a new DMC game. And the new one looks awesome. DmC 5 will be coming out in the Spring of 2019.
Jump Force
Ever wanted to find out who is stronger among Naruto, Luffy and Gohan? Bandai Namco is making dreams come true for all anime fans with its new game.
Dying Light 2
Dying Light 2 is in the same veins as its predecessors and will be set in Paris after another zombie outbreak. The world is much bigger and there are some new mechanics being added to the game in addition to what was there the last time.
Just Cause 4
Miss blowing up stuff in Just Cause? Well there's a new edition coming out and this time it will have tornados. This one is coming out on December 4 this year.
Gears of War 5
Buckle up Gears of War fans, there is new game headed your way, and this time it's called just Gears 5. The trailer showed Kait Diaz in lead and has all the classic elements of a Gears of War game.
Cyberpunk 2077
We got another look at the amazing upcoming game that is called Cyberpunk 2077, and boy does it look good. There were a lot of different elements in the trailer and we will be talking about those as they are confirmed.
There were other announcements by the company as well, where it said that there is a new streaming game service and a new Xbox in the works.

While "tepid stability amidst continuing uncertainty" may best define the state of the legal market during the second quarter of 2010, stability of any sort has come as welcome relief from the historic tumult that characterized the brutal legal market of 2009.
As predicted, our law firms are now by and large leaner, meaner, and more competitive and also more focused on creating healthy, fair and diverse workplaces flexible enough to meet the needs of increasingly empowered personnel and clients alike. Layoffs are no longer the issue of the day and firms are taking advantage of the best buyer's market in years to plug holes in practice capacity and acquire rare talent. Moreover, firms are continuing to branch out into emerging markets recognized as necessary hedges to the traditional bread and butter major-market corporate work that has sustained BigLaw for decades.

How implementing Fuel Management in your company will translate into more competitiveness and operational costs reduction.
Managers are already aware that fuel spending represents a huge cost for companies that own fleets of vehicles. Affecting mostly companies acting in the transportation and construction segments it is not a problem felt exclusively by the operators from these industries.
Managers can opt to implement a variety of actions in order to reduce the monthly fuel bill. Driver behaviour analysis followed by the implementation of a program designed to encourage drivers to adopt a more conscious driving style, fuel card solutions, choosing the cheapest fuel provider in the moment of refuelling and the type of tyres used, are some of the options available.
However, even though companies can implement solutions to reduce the daily spending of fuel it is important to be aware that fuel thefts affect seriously the companies' fuel bill. Fuel thefts are especially notable in times when crude prices rise, however, these days fuel theft is becoming an austerity trend.
When it comes to prevent fuel thefts, telematics solutions provide a notable help, there are 3 main areas where to intervene:
Control the fuelling process: it has been identified that a great part of fuel thefts take place in the moment of refuelling the vehicle, there are distinct ways to do this, commonly the fuel is filled in the tank but also in a jerry can placed near the vehicle. The company will ultimately pay the full amount of litres, the ones that entered in the company vehicle and the extra ones that entered in the jerry can.
Telematics Solutions provide a huge help in identifying these situations. This is made through a report that compares the number of litres filled in the tank with the number of litres invoiced by the fuel shop. If an anomaly is detected managers will receive this report.
Physical Fuel Caps: Fuel caps that send alerts in real time in case they are opened, are extremely useful as they send an alert in real time every time the cap is opened, having added the possibility of creating alerts only for non-authorized locations.
Tank Level Monitoring in Real Time: Fuel Level monitoring might be carried out in different ways. Connection to the vehicle Can-Bus, digital sensors that are connected to the odometer, fuel probes installed in the fuel tank are the most common forms of monitoring fuel levels. The difference between these connections lies in the accuracy and to the level of intrusion in the vehicle. Commonly these sensors accuracy varies from 90% to 100%.
A can-bus connection detects deviations superior to 5%, fuel probes usually generally have higher levels of accuracy identifying smaller variations, with a level of accuracy that, as published by manufacturers reaches 100%. Digital sensors are the less accurate sensors as they only detect variations superior to 10%.
Inosat offers a range of solutions in this area that cover the 3 types of fuel level monitoring allowing managers to automatically detect frauds in refilling fuel, identify sudden fuel drops in the tank and receive alerts if the tank cap is opened in unauthorized locations.

Welcome Miriam Thor
LAURIE: Hello Miriam, I'm so glad you could join us today to talk about your new book and your writing journey. First, can you tell us a bit about your book and what inspired you to write this story?
MIRIAM: Her First Noel is about a young attorney named Reagan Pierce. At the beginning of the book, Reagan's sole focus is her job. Then, her world is rocked when she learns that her high school best friend has passed away. As she spends time with her friend's brother, Daniel, Reagan has to confront spiritual questions and figure out if her priorities are really in the right place. She also has to decide what to do with the feelings she is starting to develop for Daniel.
I began writing this story in December of 2016 because I was in the mood to write a Christmas story that ended happily but also delved into the true meaning of Christmas. So often, Christmas movies and books have a happy ending but leave Christ out of it. I wanted my story to include both.
LAURIE: And is this the first book you have coming out with Anaiah Press?
MIRIAM: Yes, this is my first book with Anaiah Press, and I'm very excited about it.
LAURIE: What led you to publish with Anaiah Press?
MIRIAM: When I started looking for a place to submit Her First Noel, I knew I would need to find a press that published unapologetically Christian romances and that accepted novellas. When I read the guidelines for Anaiah Press, it just seemed like a perfect fit. It was the first place I submitted Her First Noel.
LAURIE: What draws you to write romance?
MIRIAM: Her First Noel is a romance novella, although I feel like the heart of the story is Reagan's journey to faith as much as her falling in love. I decided to write a Christmas romance because I love happily-ever-after endings, especially at Christmas.
LAURIE: Are there any authors who've influenced you in your writing? Do you have any favourite authors?
MIRIAM: I feel like many of the authors whose books I've read have influenced my writing style in some way. A couple of my favorite authors who have probably influenced me the most are Louisa May Alcott and Karen Witemeyer.
LAURIE: How long has it taken you to get published?
MIRIAM: I've wanted to have a book published since I was in elementary school, so in some ways it feels like it's taken my whole life. I actually started submitting books for publication in 2014, so it's taken four since then.
LAURIE: What advice would you give to other writers trying to break in to the Christian market?
MIRIAM: I would advise writers to spend time searching for publishers and literary agents that consider Christian manuscripts. There are a lot of them out there, and the one they're looking for may not appear on the first page of search results. I can't tell you how many times I've found new places to submit stories and manuscripts, despite thinking I'd already exhausted all my options.
Also, writers should look very carefully at the types of manuscripts being sought by each publisher/literary agent they find. The fact that they accept Christian manuscripts in no way guarantees they are looking for their particular genre or that they would be a good fit for their manuscript. Submitting to publishers and waiting for a response is a long process anyway but submitting to places that don't fit your manuscript makes it a lot longer.
LAURIE: What hobbies do you like to do when you're not writing? Anything else you'd like our readers to know about you and your work?
MIRIAM: As is the case with many writers, I am an avid reader. I also enjoy spending time with my husband and spoiling my cats.
I hope anyone who decides to read my book enjoys it.
LAURIE: Where can your readers find you on social media?
MIRIAM: I feel like the best place to find more information about me is on my website: https://miriamthor17.wixsite.com/author. They can also find me:
On Twitter: @miriamthor17
And on Pinterest: Miriam Thor
LAURIE: And finally, how long do we have to wait for your next book?
MIRIAM: I have no idea. I guess it depends when inspiration strikes me.
LAURIE: Here is the beautiful cover of Her First Noel and the backcover blurb. It can be bought on Amazon at:a.co/d/5yjHPYZ
As the youngest attorney at a prestigious law firm, Reagan Pierce has her life all figured out. Never mind that she isolated from her family and works around the clock. But a few weeks before Christmas, she learns that her best friend from high school has passed away. Stricken with grief, Reagan attends the funeral and reconnects with her friend's twin brother, Daniel.
When Daniel calls a few days later and asks for a favor, Reagan disrupts her structured routine to help him out. As she spends more and more time with Daniel and his niece, Reagan starts to reconsider her priorities and begins to ponders spiritual questions that never seemed to matter before. Will Daniel help her discover the true meaning of Christmas, or will she miss out on something great that she never knew she wanted?

#VAPPbill was assented to 24hrs after the release of this Press Statement.
A Press Statement by #Choice4Life Advocates – 24th May, 2015
After a thirteen-year sojourn at the National Assembly, the Violence Against Persons Prohibition (VAPP) Bill was passed by the Senate on 5th May, 2015. It was earlier passed by the House of Representatives on 14th March, 2013. While the bill awaited legislative action, thousands of Nigerians fell victim to various forms of violence and many lost their lives. Now that the bill has been passed by both chambers of the national assembly, harmonized and transmitted to the president, we call on President Goodluck Jonathan to further pen his name in the history books by assenting to it immediately.
Sexual violence, a crime the VAPP bill seeks to address appears to be on the rise in recent times. Adolescents and youths, particularly young girls are the main victims of this form of violence. Unfortunately, 52% of victims do nothing about it (National Demographic Health Survey 2013) due to minimal support structure on ground. Domestic violence, female genital cutting, electoral violence, and many others have also caused tremendous damages in our national polity.
Troubled by the sufferings of these victims who hardly ever get justice or support, the #Choice4Life advocates, a group of young Nigerians from diverse ethno-religious and professional backgrounds joined the advocacy for the passage of VAPP bill into law. For the past 13 months that we led the #Choice4Life campaign via social media, television and radio, we observed a high acceptance of the bill by Nigerians.
We believe that it is a pleasant coincidence that the bill got passed at a time many girls and women who are victims of Boko Haram terror are being rescued from captivity in Sambisa Forest. They are victims of physical, emotional and sexual violence and will benefit greatly from the provisions of the bill when assented to.
The VAPP bill provides a robust legal framework needed for justice and rehabilitation of the rescued girls. It will also boost the confidence of the citizens in our country and will serve as a legal protection of citizens against all forms of violence regardless of sex, age, culture, tribe or religion.
We hereby salute the 7th National Assembly for passing this bill into law. We also commend well -meaning Nigerians, organizations and development partners who have championed the cause of this bill for the past 13 years.
By signing this historic bill, Mr President would have written his name in gold as one who gave life to a law that will protect millions of Nigerians particularly the women whom he cares so much about. #PGEJSignVAPPbill to save lives! God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!!
Dr Laz Ude Eze

This happens to me only when I don't use unique names/IDs for the tabsets I use on different pages. By default the tab selected is the same one that was selected last time you saw the tabset.
So for example say you use the same ID for more than one tabset, and one has 4 tabs but the other only 2. When you view the 3rd pane of the larger tabset and then go to the other page to view the smaller tabset of the same name, it will try to load the 3rd pane and since it won't find any content it displays only the tab headers.
So the short answer is, use distinct IDs for all your tabsets across your site.

I don't know if this is a common problem, but it seems that the TabPane Control sometimes seems to just show the tab-header (and hiding everything else :() in both mozilla firfox 1.0 and internet explorer 6.0
Hope anyone knows about this problem,
yours sincerely,
