Cirque du Soleil presents Mystere, a vibrant kaleidoscope of powerful athleticism, high-energy acrobatics and inspiring imagery directed by Franco Dragone.
Mystere's vivid sets are punctuated by colorful costumes and signature Cirque du Soleil acts such as the Taiko (Japanese drums), Chinese Poles, Hand to Hand balancing, Aerial High Bar, Bungee and Korean Plank acts. Mingling in the mystique is a cast of 75 artists from around the world, whose spectrum of characters include a mischievous Clown, an electrifying Red Bird and one jumbo-sized Baby.
The adventure begins with The Big Bang symbolizing primitive man embarking on a never-ending journey. The opening also juxtaposes the characters and contexts in a way that creates the universal life cycles of Mystere®: the primitives on the drums, the renaissance Archangels and the technical scenography coexist seamlessly. The Taiko's reappearance in the conclusion is a reminder that the future is built on the memory of the past.
Soaring with drama and deep concentration, Paul Bowler conquers the universe through the Aerial Cube. He effortlessly turns and spins the cube while nonchalantly performing an exhilarating ballet of jaw-dropping aerial maneuvers. Fascinated observers hold their breath wondering who is in control. The cube or the artist? The mystery continues.
Squirming up and down the the Chinese Poles, like sprouting vines, they are a symbol of organic life, which feeds on itself and grows. Although this art form originated in China, Cirque du Soleil has put its own touch of artistry to the performance. Using both men and women (itself unusual, as women do not perform on the Chinese Poles in China), this colorful act features two principal performers from China who are life-long students of the discipline. They, along with twenty members of the colorful house troupe, slither and spring from pole to pole using only arm and leg power. Great upper body control and balance are essential for the Chinese Pole artists. Their inspiring agility is accented by unique double-faced masks, which create a vivid visual effect for the audience.
Hand to Hand signifies the interdependence of the first humans who build on their solidarity until a whole tribe emerges. Two mighty physiques connect in gentle, fluid movements, exuding a strength that mystifies the audience.
This particular act in Mystere is an incredible exhibition of strength and stamina. The two brothers who perform the increasingly difficult maneuvers demonstrate perfect harmony while fusing power and grace. Developed through many years of intense training, the hand and body balancing act is done on a rotating dome, demanding impeccable precision and alignment as well as strength.
Like graceful birds in flight, the Bungee dive fearlessly in unison, creating a fantastically organized chaos. As they drop from their trapezes in turn or as a group, stopped only by the elastic around their waists, the bewitched spectators sit spellbound.
The Korean Plank signifies organized human society: productivity, play and brotherhood with the entire team working as a unit. Showcasing the amazing agility of the human body through spectacular sequences of aero-gymnastics and human pyramids.
The huge, winged trampoline of Mystere is unlike any other in the world. The trampoline artists rely on timing, acrobatic ability and phenomenal spatial awareness to accomplish the intricate movements. The Fast Track, based on sports acrobatic training, provides a tool for the acrobats to demonstrate their talent. The low trampoline provides additional speed and spring with a low-impact surface for the performers.
Human dreams taking flight, borne by the hopes of a new millennium. The pendulum movement of the Aerial High Bar flyers emphasize that time continues but never stops passing. The benefits outweigh the risks, for the adventure is the reward.
Deemed the 'flower in the desert' by Guy Laliberte, Founder and CEO of Cirque du Soleil, the exhilarating production has been credited with raising the bar on Las Vegas entertainment since its premiere on December 25, 1993. Mystere has entertained over 7.5 million spectators with more than 5000 performances and continues to be the standard by which Las Vegas productions are measured among worldwide audiences and critics alike.

You're an internet veteran, you know what's real and what's not. Anything with Western Union automatically raises your eyebrow. An e-mail promising more length and/or hot girls gets trashed without a thought. You're too seasoned for these tricks. But what if all that email spam was actually true? How different would your life look? Would you become a money making, big twig swinging, Nigerian prince relatin' party animal? Oh yes.
Cyanide & Happiness riffed off the idea of junk mail actually delivering whatever it promised and it's a laughing riot to see. But here's the thing about if that actually happened: you have to respond to every form of it or you'll pay the consequence.

So, yes, having these clips compiled does imply that I sat through nearly all 40 videos on the "Follow Jimmer" YouTube channel, and yes, I am slightly ashamed of that implication (did I get Jimmered?), but I'll stand by the belief that it was totally worth it. Jimmer Fredette & Family have embarked on a carefully curated marketing plan — the core of which seems to be "If you Jimmer, they will come" — in which they present the NBA prospect as the most normal, boring, mild-mannered white Mormon basketball guard in the history of the United States. It's brilliant, though: by underlining his extreme normality, they're also making him extremely marketable. Jimmer can do no wrong, Jimmer will do no wrong. Jimmer will silently eat a sub for 14 seconds, and you will like it.
In fact, you'll probably buy a signature Jimmer Subway sandwich in five months because of it: baloney, cheese, mayo. On Wonder Bread.

In accordance with Section 5 of the Employment Protection Act, every employer in Germany is required to conduct an assessment of dangers of psychological stress in the workplace.
What's the survey's purpose?
Every danger assessment aims to:
- determine stressors in the job that can negatively employees' health
- identify possible dangers
- respond with targeted measures
The objective is work and an environment that strengthen employees' physical and mental health and their welfare. It is important to the RWTH administration to consistently improve its workplaces and working conditions.
For this reason, RWTH Aachen, its staff councils, and the Staff Unit for Occupational Safety have decided to conduct the PsyGesundEUTM online survey in collaboration with the Occupational Health Psychology Teaching and Research Department of Uniklinik RWTH Aachen.
Survey Concluded Among Employees in ZHV and Staff Units

From NinWiki
Revision as of 14:28, 25 March 2008 by The ruined (Talk | contribs)
Closure (also known as Halo 12) is a 1997 video released in a two-tape VHS format. The first tape is a documentary of the Self-Destruct Tour, and the second tape is a compilation of music videos that had been created up to that point.
An improved DVD version was first announced to be released in late 2004, but due to issues with Interscope Records, this has yet to happen. On December 20, 2006, two DVDs of Closure were leaked through the use of BitTorrent. Shortly after the leak, a message on Trent Reznor's personal blog on The Spiral was posted possibly linking Reznor himself to the leak:
12/21/2006 : HAPPY HOLIDAYS! This one is a guilt-free download. (shhhh - I didn't say that out loud). If you know what I'm talking about, cool.

Part 1
Part 1 shows live and behind-the-scenes footage from the Self-Destruct Tour.

ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) � A retired police officer is facing charges for allegedly skimming nearly $5,000 from the coin-operated children's rides he was paid to maintain at a North Attleborough mall.

The 52-year-old Framson is a retired Falmouth officer.
North Attleborough police say Framson was employed by CTM Group, collecting money and maintaining the rides at the Emerald Square Mall from April until July, when the company reported the missing money to police.
His lawyer tells The Sun Chronicle (http://bit.ly/SZZ0qe ) that Framson intends to fight the allegations.
The lawyer says Framson retired on medical disability after being injured apprehending a felon.

Even Rodeo Drive is feeling the recession.
Calif. shopping mecca Beverly Hills is experiencing a devastating drop in sales and tax revenue, causing stores in the tony town to slash prices, CNN reported.
The city's tax revenues will drop by more than $24 million in the next 16 months -- the single biggest blow to the Beverly Hills budget in its nearly century-long history, Beverly Hills officials said.
U.S. & World
Local businesses have had to institute dramatic sales to stay afloat, according to CNN.
Boutique owner Parvin Yonani said she's slashed price tags by about 85 percent, selling an $1,800 pair of shoes for a meager $245.
Financial woes in the wealthy 90210 zip code show that the recession has hurt virtually all economic classes, University of California-Los Angeles economist Jerry Nicklesburg said.
"The collapse in consumption was widespread and based on a fear -- uncertainty -- about the future," he said.

Why OutBack (portable) House?
1. Portable and relocatable buildings are the best solution
where speed, budget, and limited or temporarily-available
space are issues. Our buildings are cost effective,
We can make house according to the customer's layout.
2. No other kind of building allows such a quick reaction
time as Portable house. Whether it's in the case of natural
to accommodate temporary staff increases, or to provide
classrooms, government and medical facilities, offices and
even retail "pop-ups". Our buildings are used by a very wide
range of sectors, public and private. It provide the flexibility
of buildings as stand-alones (especially useful for events
and concerts) or configurations that extend and complement
long-term facilities.
3. Using a Portable house also makes sense financially. It
allows businesses and government organizations to control
their cash flow and avoid costly building projects. It's also
useful during times of growth where the future or economic
climate is uncertain and long-term capital commitments may
be premature.
4. Portable houses are reusable, so they're very
environmentally friendly. Individual buildings may be
re-purposed by the same user, or moved on to a new
use over the span of their life.
Regular checks and maintenance ensures every building
is delivered in the best possible condition.

Fried foods are as insanely popular as they ever were which is why serving up some scrumptious samples and delectable entrees with the help of a functioning fryer is an excellent way to stay on top of the game. Given the nature of the fried food beast, it's pretty easy for the components and fryer parts working behind the scenes to get a little greasy and worse for wear at times. Fortunately, many of these parts are a piece of cake to replace or repair, and picking up a few essential extras when you get the chance, can make all the difference. We've got all the strainers, stoppers, pans, baskets, and gaskets you need to create the fryer-fueled favorites your customers, friends, and family can't get enough of!

Mike H."I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!
Greg J."With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
Bill"I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students."
I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on JamPlay.com. Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.

SACRAMENTO (AP) — Clandestine cooks who have been selling homemade food at local stores and farmer's markets will no longer have to fear legal consequences under a bill Gov. Jerry Brown signed Friday.
AB1616, known as the Homemade Food Act, will lift restrictions on the sale of home-cooked treats and impose sanitation and labeling requirements on the burgeoning cottage food industry. The bill excludes products that contain meat and cream and could quickly spoil.
In a statement Friday, the Democratic governor described it as one of several bills that will "make it easier for people to do business in California."
Assemblyman Mike Gatto, D-Los Angeles, said he wrote the bill in response to the increasing number of people establishing businesses based on baking, cooking and pickling in home kitchens.
Gatto cited the case of a Los Angeles man ordered by health officials to stop selling bread he baked each week in a backyard oven.
The act establishes criteria for permitting, cleanliness and food handler training. County health officials will have the right to inspect home kitchens and take photographs, food samples and other evidence as needed.
Advocates say the bill will allow the burgeoning cottage food industry go mainstream and could help people across the state supplement their income.
California joins 30 other states that have similar homemade food laws.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsEvents
Maximum Motorsports' Suspension - Open-Track Challenge Test
A Week on the Road and the Track is what the Open Track Challenge is all About
Step By StepView Photo Gallery
It's curious how all auto-crazy concepts seemed like good ideas at the time. With a spanking-new, full-boat Maximum Motorsports suspension under our '96 GT project open-tracker, when word of the Open Track Challenge was whispered in our inlet, the idea of Seven Tracks in Seven Days appeared the perfect fit. And it was, except that we can't take seven days to do anything with a magazine deadline breathing down our necks.
But events such as the Open Track Challenge are not designed for people with mortgages and three bosses to match. Not particularly, anyway. The idea was to hold open-track events at seven different tracks on seven consecutive days, with the requisite travel taking place sometime in between. Think of the One Lap of America enduro, but considerably shorter, with more rest and more emphasis on track time.
Sanctioned by NASA and Open Track Motorsports, the OTC roughly divides the cars into the trailered Unlimited class and the drive-'em-there sorts called Touring. Both Unlimited and Touring groups are further divided by speed potential, so you end up with Unlimited 1, 2, and 3--ditto in Touring. Hoping to attract a horde of Mustangs, the organizers then opened a specialized Touring class, American GT. Aimed at all the usual GM and Ford ponycars (no Corvettes), NASA invited us to bring our newly minted project car in hopes of drumming up interest in American GT.
It didn't take long for us to hear the exotic drumbeat of distant tracks and tons of seat time. The event started in Parhump, Nevada, on a Sunday, jumped nearly due west to the big track at Willow Springs, then rested a night in the same hotels before attacking the Street of Willow Springs on Tuesday. The gung-ho portion then began with a run up to Buttonwillow Raceway Park on Wednesday, followed by another 350-mile haul north to Thunderhill for Thursday's lapping. No sooner off the track at Thunderhill than the gaggle retraced its tracks back to Buttonwillow to run it in the opposite direction on Friday, and as if feeling lucky, finished by traipsing over to Las Vegas to run the road course inside the big oval there on Saturday. We figured on an easy 2,000 new miles on the odometer by the time it was all over.
While the slick-tired Unlimited entries were expected to trailer to each event and bring whatever spares needed, Touring cars needed to run on DOT-approved tires, and you had to drive on the same tires you ran on-track. You could change individual tires all you wanted, but you had to use the same-type tire for the entire event.
Scoring was tabulated by adding the three fastest laps posted at each track, with the timing provided via transponders for easy, no-hassle scoring. Competitors were free to run as many laps as they believed necessary, then move on to the next track. As track time was divided into four 20-minute sessions per run group per day, everyone talked about driving just the first or second run groups, then hitting the road for a more leisurely transit, but it rarely happened. The siren's call of "just one more lap" inevitably kept the field busily orbiting throughout the day and traveling into the evening.
All teams were expected to have two drivers--one typically the car owner who would provide the racetrack heroics, and the other a co-driver to turn on the headlights and tune the radio on the highway. A handful of teams posted three drivers, as we did. Needing to excuse ourselves for a couple of days midweek to keep up with other magazine work, we left the northern loop on Wednesday and Thursday to the Maximum Motorsports crew. Thus, our car was registered with Maximum Motorsports personnel Jack Hidley and Ehren Van Schmus as primary drivers, and yours truly as tagalong. In reality, Jack and I split all the driving--track and road--when I was around, with Ehren sliding behind the wheel on Wednesday and Thursday.
Amazingly, it all came off with minimal mayhem. A cozy 61 cars answered the call at Spring Mountain Raceway in Pahrump, where we learned American GT was a party of two, the other machine being fielded by Paul Mashouf and Bruce Griggs of Griggs Racing. Never one to bring a knife to a gunfight, Griggs had prepped Mr. Mashouf's '94 Mustang GT with everything short of a Gatling gun in anticipation of knocking off Unlimited cars with Paul's 351-powered, six-speed, GR-40-equipped Mustang. Unless Paul's car pulled one of its massive muscles, there would be no mystery in who was going to prevail in American GT.
In the end, Paul and Bruce had a nearly trouble-free run, as did we, so it was as it should be--just for fun. And brother, it was a blast. Consider the Open Track Challenge packs a year's worth of lapping into a concentrated week, and besides the obvious speed orgy, unforeseen benefits crop up. Most importantly, our rusty driving skills were approaching respectability after a week of continuous practice, and the camaraderie of seemingly endless track time and traveling together in between was palatable.
NASA, true to its laid-back reputation, didn't play the school marm. Brief drivers' meetings started each day. The scoring magically appeared within hours and without shouting. And the lectures against turning expensive sporting machinery into highly inefficient but spectacularly visual agricultural implements were administered without riding crop or threat of license revocation. We had to report to the pits to have a nice, long talk about the weather only once, and that was after dirt tracking with all four tires around the outside of two entire turns at Las Vegas, so we might have even deserved it.
The B side of reconstituting an entire can of Open Tracking Concentrate is the mechanical wear and wallet excoriation. After four opening days of textbook lapping, the funny stuff began failing throughout the paddock on Thursday. Our contributions were alternator seizure, several rounds of weird sparkplug failures, and plug-boot blow-offs (really--go figure). Ready money and a couple of Pep Boys alternators ultimately yielded an alternator that would live near redline for several days, while a new set of spark plugs helped immensely for one day. After that, mental sloth allowed us to admit we would rather find the pesky misfire in the comfort of our home garage than under the Las Vegas sun, allowing us to ignore our misfiring engine on the final Saturday. There was, after all, nothing to win, and--hey--it was hot.
Expense-wise, everyone gave up counting as soon as the lapping started. The entry fee was $1,750 or $2,000, depending on how early you signed up, followed by however many hotel rooms and meals you thought your tire and fuel budget could spare. Man, can a Mustang guzzle fuel on a road-racing track. Making but 220 or so rear-wheel horsepower, we went through a tank of fuel on each track, and at least another hopping to the next venue.
And tires? Had we been in a stock-suspended, nose-plowing Mustang, The Tire Rack would have run dry supplying us with fronts. However, with our superbly balanced Maximum Motorsports suspension, we were pleasantly surprised to go four days on one set of Nitto-supplied 555R2 rubber, then oversteer to the finish as we could find but two fresh tires on the front. Seems the nationwide supply of 555R2 Nittos dried up just before the OTC, so our second set of tires didn't arrive until the last day of the event. Jack Hidley bought what must have been the last two Nittos before we took off, so those were what we put on Thursday. On the final day, we traded Bruce Griggs the use of some tools from Maximum's burgeoning chest (Maximum chased the entire event with a service truck, while Griggs relied solely on the credit-card method) for the use of two tires, and that helped immensely.
Heading home from Las Vegas on Sunday morning, we were definitely sorry to have the OTC end. By then we figured we had traded family, dog, and mortgage for a life of lapping with our new gypsy friends, and we had grown rather used to it. Still, we've always come home when we got hungry. NASA promises another OTC next year, and we're hoping to see you there. The mortgage and three bosses can wait.
Horse Sense: Wheeled around a racetrack, our project car feels like a race car. It's a tad heavy and asks much of its front tires, but it still feels like a sedan racer with good balance, great seats, light steering, wonderful brakes, and on and on. But pull off the track, remove your helmet, and hit the road, and suddenly it's a super GT, with a smooth engine, air conditioning, CD player, power everything, license plates, and a macho but livable manner. The transition is so large, we constantly had to remind ourselves while on-track that this was also the car that was going to take us to the hotel in a few minutes. What a great dual-purpose car!

Rolf Harris has been jailed for five years and nine months for a string of indecent assaults at Southwark Crown Court.
The 84-year-old entertainer, a family favourite for decades, was finally unmasked as a prolific paedophile with his conviction for 12 indecent assaults on Monday.
Today at London's Southwark Crown Court Mr Justice Sweeney told the shamed performer: "You have shown no remorse for your crimes at all. Your reputation lies in ruins, you have been stripped of your honours, but you have no one to blame but yourself."
Harris was unanimously found guilty of molesting four girls - one woman who was just seven or eight and was groped when she asked for his autograph, and another two who fell prey as young teenagers.
The veteran presenter, who charmed television audiences for decades, was also convicted of a catalogue of abuse against his daughter's then-best friend, who prosecutors said Harris groomed from the age of 13 and used like "his little toy".
The accusations dated between 1968 and 1986, and the girls were targeted between the ages of seven or eight and 19.
Harris, who earlier travelled from his Bray home by boat, sat in the glass-walled dock with a striped suitcase by his side remained impassive as sentence was passed, with daughter Bindi watching from the gallery.
His frail wife Alwen did not come to court today, although she has attended much of the trial.
Harris had a small reprieve this morning as prosecutors confirmed he will not stand trial over allegations that he downloaded sexual images of children.

Heart's Club Classics with Toby Anstis 7pm - 10pm
A family of three have had a lucky escape after their carbon monoxide alarm sounded and stopped them being poisoned.
Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service was called to a house at South Wraxall on 15 January, where the property's carbon monoxide alarm was sounding. Firefighters from Bradford on Avon used an Altair monitor to establish that there was a high reading of carbon monoxide, which was traced to a woodburning stove.
Watch Manager Neil Chamberlain, from the community safety department, said that the affected people had been very lucky. ''Carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless and tasteless, but it is also extremely dangerous. Without a CO detector, you have no way of knowing that you're being poisoned until the damage is already being done. Carbon monoxide kills some 15 people every year, so it is vital that every possible care is taken. It is essential to have appliances such as woodburning stoves installed by qualified engineers, who should also service them regularly and check them for safety.''
He added: ''CO detectors can be bought in most supermarkets and DIY stores. They're not expensive and they save lives. This family had experienced some early symptoms but were fortunate that the alarm was raised before they came to any serious harm.''
Carbon monoxide is produced by the incomplete burning of carbon-based fuels, including gas, oil, wood and coal. Most cases of CO poisoning are caused by gas appliances and flues that have not been properly installed or maintained, or are poorly ventilated.
There are signs that you can look for that indicate incomplete combustion is occurring and may result in the production of CO:
Yellow or orange rather than blue flames (except in fuel effect fires or flueless appliances)
Soot or yellow/brown staining around or on appliances
Pilot lights that frequently blow out
Increased condensation inside windows
Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can be confused with food poisoning, viral infections, flu or simple tiredness; however, warning signs include:
Headaches or dizziness
Loss of consciousness
Pains in the chest or stomach
Erratic behaviour
Visual problems
If you or your family experience any of the above symptoms and believe you may have been exposed to carbon monoxide, you should seek urgent medical advice from either your GP or an A&E department.

The Tiraspol stadium is very swanky. Moldova used to play there but crowds were so low they moved back to Chisinau. The excellent Mark Gilbey can tell you more:

That link doesn't work?? My own blog contains an article on the malafide FC Sheriff and Transistria too. Transnistria is basically a sort of USSR remainder, lot of propaganda from the old regime still on the walls. I would love to visit it myself. It is de facto sovereign but unrecognised by any other nation.
- 9 May 2011 at 13:28
PS: forgot the URL of my blog. http://thepathslesstravelled.wordpress.com ; then the Sheriff Tiraspol article is somewhere in August or September 2010 posts.
Transnistria looks neat for a travel. I love USSR like architecture. And given my own left wing views, let's say Soviet history has always fascinated me (without supporting Stalinism, let this be clear)

Don't worry, having lived in Latvia, the Czech Republic and Odessa (and being a bit of a leftie myself) I understand that last comment perfectly. IBWM changed their site a few months ago but you can access the article through Mark Gilbey's page at the new inbedwithmaradona.com. There's also a photo journal in their gallery section.
You can get to Tiraspol by bus or taxi from Odessa. It depends how they're feeling at the border whether you get their with all the cash you started with. Or, indeed, at all.
Thanks for the link.

Maine's largest daily newspapers have now all endorsed making the tax code more fair as part of the upcoming biennial budget debate. The Portland Press Herald (and MaineToday sister papers the Kennebec Journal and Morning Sentinel), the Lewiston Sun Journal, and the Bangor Daily News have now all inveighed against further cuts to important programs and increases in local property taxes and have suggested fairer solutions instead.
This paper was perhaps the most vague in their prescription, simply stating that "In dealing with the biennial budget, the Legislature must examine the tax code, to see how to generate more revenue" and that "Most of all, we want legislative leaders to promise that they will focus on what will actually grow Maine's economy over time — by helping people get out of poverty and by not adding to the property tax burden already borne by the middle class."
The MaineToday newspapers were more direct, noting that "by the governor's own admission, there is nothing left to cut" and that "Lawmakers from both parties are going to need more revenue to balance this budget and taking it from municipalities is not the answer."
They suggest instead that the Legislature re-examines LePage's "huge tax cut, about $400 million over two years, which did not go into effect until January and has never been paid for."
The Sun Journal similarly notes that "at this time Gov. Paul LePage is all about hiking taxes, property taxes." They present a number of options instead:
Democrats would repeal or slow the implementation of the income-tax cut, in effect a tax increase.
Others are talking about raising the lodging tax, which is now less than Connecticut, New Hampshire and Vermont, but higher than Massachusetts.
Maybe we should re-examine the soda and sugar tax that was rejected by taxpayers several years ago. Or we could increase the sales tax for two years to offset what the governor says is a temporary, two-year cut in revenue sharing.
The choice, it seems, is who should now fill the big hole in the state's budget by paying more taxes.
There's a reason that President Obama spent the last several months of his presidential campaign talking about increasing taxes on the wealthy. It's both good policy and good politics to make our tax system more fair. As these editorials make clear, it's by far the best option to deal with a difficult budget.

Our Supporters
A big thank-you to all our funders and other supporters over the years. On the budgets at which we operate every single contribution makes a big difference. You are too numerous to list exhaustively, but we would like to take this opportunity to particularly acknowledge some of our biggest and most loyal sponsors below.
MCDI has a close working relationship with our partners at the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). Since 2004 WWF have helped us source various grants over the years, and have funded the expansion and maintenance of MCDI's FSC group certificate to the villages in Kilwa, Tunduru and Rufiji Districts. As of mid January 2019, WWF's direct financial support to MCDI had amounted to over TZS 3.5 billion (over 1.7 million USD).
Beautiful Cups
Rainforest Projects is an initiative of Beautiful Cups, a Dutch company which is supporting the protection and restoration (rain)forests in several projects all over the world. We are building a brighter future for the forests, its wildlife and its people. Beautiful Cups is raising additional funds for the work of Mpingo through their network of customers and partners.
Comic Relief
Comic Relief is a British charity, supported by prominent British comedians, whose vision is a "a just world free from poverty". In 2008, MCDI, through its UK partner, Environment Africa Trust, received a grant of £282,000 over three years from Comic Relief under the title "Fair Trade for African Blackwood". This had been presaged by a smaller Project Development Grant in 2007 under which we explored various aspects of the blackwood trade in the UK, and developed some of the key elements of the proposal for the main grant. In 2011 EAT, MCDI and Kilimanyika received a further one year grant (£240,000) to continue this work and to review some key issues around the trade and marketing of certified blackwood and the governance of the different elements of the project.
The Royal Norwegian Embassy in Tanzania is currently MCDI's biggest donor with a grant of $1,948,000 over four years from 2010 to 2013 to fund a pilot REDD project to combine FSC certification with carbon market validation and verification.
The value of MCDI's work to conserve these important habitats was recognised internationally when, singled out among more than 130 applicants, our CEO was presented an award for International Nature Conservation by the Whitley Fund for Nature. The award was donated by WWF-UK. Click here for our video, or read more about how we have used the money to expand our reach and impact by connecting forests, people and wildlife here.
The Darwin Initiative
The Darwin Initiative seeks to help safeguard the world's biodiversity by drawing on UK expertise to work with local partners in countries that are rich in biodiversity but poor in financial resources. The fund is supported by the UK Government's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, (Defra). The Darwin Initiative awarded a partnership between Fauna & Flora International and the MCDI (then known as the Mpingo Conservation Project) a grant of over £140,000 to cover core costs of MCDI's activities in Kilwa district between May 2005 and March 2008.
Conservation Leadership Programme
The very first expedition in 1996 that started MCDI won a prize in what was then known as the BP Conservation Awards programme and is now known simply as the Conservation Leadership Programme. The 1998 and 2000 expeditions were short-listed for follow-up awards. Then in 2004 the project was awarded one of the top consolidation awards ($75,000), allowing us to start practical conservation activities.
Fauna & Flora International (FFI) are one of our key partners, and were the lead partner on our Darwin Award. In addition they have helped us with several grants over the years:
- In 2006, through FFI's Communities, Livelihoods & Governance Programme we received a portion of a grant from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Entitled Resources for Improved Livelihoods, the grant enabled FFI and its partners such as MCDI to reflect on how and why we are addressing human needs, to monitor achievements and to develop best practice in combining poverty reduction with conservation.
- In 2008, FFI provided critical bridging funds to MCDI between the end of the Darwin grant and the start of the Comic Relief grant.
- Then alongside the Comic Relief grant FFI channelled additional funding from Anglo American, again focusing on the balance between conservation and community needs.

I never realized just how amazing kindergarten is until my daughter started school. I am simply amazed at how much better her writing, spelling and reading are compared to before she started.
And one of the cutest examples of her new skills was when she created her Bug Journal.
After catching several different kinds of bugs (moth, dragon fly, lady bug), she took it upon herself to create, illustrate and author her own bug journal. The pictures are adorable, and the writing is terrific (e.g. "he was a good bug. he was scared. I miss him")
She has created many terrific books – about family, a day at the beach, etc. – carefully drawing, writing, and stapling them together. They are great to share with the grandparents when they visit to show off what she's learned and what her interests are.
There are a lot of artists in her family (mostly Ms. Kaz's, but some in mine), and I think she's inherited that gene…
The only problem with the bug journal is that after she stapled the "The End" page onto it, she says she cannot add new pages. I need to get her to start a new bug journal so she can add the newer bugs she caught since then.
Next: Garden Bugs

Part One – the overview
One thing you can say about Danny and I is that we don't hang around! Less than 3 weeks after we lost Porthminster View we have had an offer accepted on another property in St Ives. It's just down the road, has equally stunning views, and (for the sake of our finances, sanity and mortgage-ability) is significantly cheaper.
Friday and Saturday were two long days. 5 viewings in 3 locations across South Cornwall, a dinner with my folks, a night in a tent (told you we were budgeting), an offer and acceptance on a beautiful property that feels 'just right', and a brilliant two-handed play at the Tobacco Factory in Bristol.
Exhaustion may well be the reason for not updating this blog for a while, and this was not helped by Danny dragging me round Victoria Park for a 'run' on Sunday (it's in inverted commas because there wasn't much running involved, just lots of panting and complaining on my part), followed by an evening of re-jigging business plans and cash flow projections.
Yesterday was all about getting the information we needed out of the new property (via our new BFF estate agent), calling our mortgage broker, and doing yet more sums to check we can afford to do what we want to do with the property (we can!) while laying down a 35% deposit and putting us in a much better position with the lenders.
So… all in all, there's a fair amount going on but this time we know what we're doing. If all goes according to plan we'll be in uncharted territory soon enough but that would be good – that would mean we have had a 'yes' for the mortgage, and my ever so patient buyers will still be hanging in there ready to exchange at the drop of a hat.
Part Two – the detail
When we lost Porthminster View it was both sad and liberating; sad because we'd put so much into it, and liberating because we felt that we'd finally been given 'permission' to look around at other properties and, as duly reported, get back in the driving seat.
Organising the 5 viewings over the weekend was exciting, looking on all the different sites and choosing properties based on size, turnover and location gave us a real insight and understanding into what we wanted (something that, because we'd just stumbled upon Porthminster View, we hadn't had so far). As is inevitable there were 2 or 3 that we really liked on paper, and 1 or 2 that were just making up numbers.
Seeing our 'favourites' on Friday was a little depressing. They'd seemed so perfect, so right.
- Property #1 was almost too perfect, what could we do with it that hadn't been done already? Plus the location was a little out the way and Danny and I have to live where we run the guest house, we can't just plonk ourselves in the middle of nowhere and hope for the best, hope that even though everyone that goes into business with their partner will have relationship issues at some point, being in the middle of nowhere won't make things worse – hah (but that's a subject for another blog).
As an aside, this was an awesome B&B, run by awesome people who were going to move onto bigger and better things down the road… not a great start for us with the original owners taking all the repeat business.
- Property #2 was the saddest we saw. In the middle of St Ives, with spectacular views, the house was bereft of love. It was as if someone had come in and just sucked all the joy, warmth and joie de vivre out of the place. Small, cramped, basic rooms, and sad looking en suites only looked good when you compared them to the kitchen which looked like it was being prepared to get a special mention on 'How Clean is Your House'. It made me want to buy it, gut it, and turn it into the beautiful place it had the potential to be… but at a price tag of £550k that wasn't going to be possible.
Dinner that night was an animated affair as Property #3 had given us something to think about, but I couldn't shake the feeling that even that one, while so much better than the other two, was too much of a 'project' for an inexperienced couple, and its location and view just didn't have the WOW factor that we were looking for.
So… you probably think we were being too fussy, asking too much? And maybe we were, but if any of you reading this have ever bought a property you know that it has to feel right, on every level, and that when you're dealing with £hundreds of thousands you can't afford to settle, especially when it's for a B&B where we want to be proud to open the door to our guests.
As we walked up to Property #4 on Saturday morning our demeanour would have not looked out of place in a funeral march. Vocally reminding ourselves that we had to keep an open mind even though we thought this one was a waste of time we tried to keep each others' spirits up as we climbed the granite steps. This wasn't as hard as we thought as we turned to see the view provided by the raised pathway and got an instant reminder of why we're doing all this.
Our funeral-esque attitude turned to, not very well hidden, excitement as we walked through the house (Note to self: NEVER attempt to play poker). Low expectations were quickly forgotten as each room was airier and brighter than the one before. Things on our checklist were slowly being ticked off, great views from all the bedrooms, an enormous kitchen, a beautiful garden, a bright dining room and ample storage. I was too scared to look at Danny at one point just in case he hadn't fallen in love as fast and as hard as I had; but one glance midway through the tour was enough to reassure me that I was not alone.
Adrenaline coursing through us an hour later we phoned up and put in an offer, not a doubt in our minds… then, as was necessary, we quickly focused our attention on Property #5.
Without going into much detail about this one (as it seems quite pointless at this stage) it's only worth me saying that this was a close second, and Watergate Bay is quite possibly the most beautiful place I ever seen in the UK.
Driving up the M5 on the way home a few hours later I noticed my phone had an answerphone message. It was Steve Cross informing us that from a remote beach in Thailand the owners of our dream house had accepted our offer.
Part Three – the irony
Yesterday morning Porthminster View's proprietress phoned me to say that their new buyer had lied to them and the place was ours if we wanted it.
Suffice to say, we are going ahead with the new property. I guess everything really does happen for a reason.

To become too deeply involved in or with a difficult situation, beyond the point of being able to control or cope with things any longer. I've gotten in way over my head with this money laundering scheme—now the mob is threatening my family if I try to back out! I think I'm getting in over my head with Amy. She wants marriage, kids, and a house, and I'm just not ready for any of that!

We have been really busy bring in furniture and re-vamping the store.
Take a look at this beautiful table. The picture does not do it justice...it has a gorgeous wood inlay design on the top.
This is a cute wavy glass on metal table. It's a perfect tint of aged green and rusted metal.
I love this round white table. Love the carvings around the base too.
Unique piece with a leaded glass door front. Great for storage and display!
This piece can be used as a hutch to hold dishes or a bookcase since it has a pull out desk.
Awesome ball and claw foot buffet......

GibbsCAM UKM Unveiled
GibbsCAM UKM Unveiled
Moorpark, CA - May 19, 2014
Gibbs and Associates, developer of GibbsCAM® software for programming CNC machine tools and a Cimatron (NASDAQ: CIMT) company, is pleased to announce that the 2014 GibbsCAM International Reseller Conference was the largest conference to date. Held in Las Vegas, NV, Gibbs established itself as a worldwide presence with representatives of nearly 20 different countries in attendance. The event was attended by both the Gibbs' worldwide team of Resellers and Cimatron subsidiaries from China, Germany, India, Israel, Italy and Korea. This was Gibbs 24th annual Reseller conference.
Attendees were given a sneak preview of GibbsCAM 2015, including a look at GibbsCAM UKM (Universal Kinematic Machine), a next generation, open-machine architecture release of GibbsCAM, which allows for programming, post processing and machine simulation of both the latest generation as well as future generations of multi-axis CNC machines. GibbsCAM UKM represents a dramatic improvement in the flexibility of programming a wide range of machines, whether Multi-Task Machines, Swiss-style, or 5-Axis mills with rotary and right angle heads. Improvements extend to include tooling, fixturing, simulation, and post processing, as well as optimized toolpath for maximum machine throughput.
The keynote speaker for the conference was Rodney Babcock of Next Intent, a long-time GibbsCAM customer. Next Intent makes unique parts for the space exploration industry, including parts found on the Mars Rover, Mars Science Laboratory, Curiosity Rover, and the Discovery Channel Telescope. His presentation was enjoyed by the entire group and prompted Bill Gibbs to comment, "Rodney reminds the science geeks in all of us why we do this exciting and important work. I get great pleasure from the fact that parts programmed in GibbsCAM are exploring Mars right now."
Other speakers included partners SpaceClaim, a multi-purpose, easy to use 2D/3D solid modeling software offering a fast modeling environment for tooling and fixture design and Sandvik's TDM Systems 4th Generation, a customer oriented tool data management software solution. Both products are natural extensions of GibbsCAM, providing incremental capabilities for GibbsCAM customers.
Presentations from Gibbs Technical staff and subsidiaries included information on tips, tricks, plug-ins, and macros which push the limits of GibbsCAM for maximum speed and productivity.
Robb Weinstein, VP of Sales and Strategic Planning commented, "Our Reseller Conference is a time for us to get worldwide input that affects our future product development in a very real and positive way. We also look forward to it as a time to connect as a global family and plan for our mutual success."

This episode is ripped from the headlines. On Monday December 23, 1991, the home of the Willingham family caught fire in Corsicana, Navarro County, Texas. Cameron Todd Willingham was the sole survivor of the blaze that killed his daughters. Willingham was arrested and charged with arson and homicide. Following Willingham's conviction, evidence began to mount in favor of Willingham's innocence. On Tuesday February 17, 2004, under orders from governor Rick Perry, Willingham was executed via lethal injection. This did not stop the Willingham family from seeking exoneration. Faced with the possibility of being responsible for killing an innocent man, Perry fired members of the Texas Science Forensics Commission which was in the process of reviewing the case with leanings toward exoneration. The terminations ordered by Perry suggest a coverup at the highest levels of the Texas government.

The massacres in Aurora, Colo., and at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee. The shootings outside the Empire State Building, in which an ex-employee killed his boss. Escalating gang warfare. In recent months, violence seemed to erupt everywhere. To get a better understanding of aggression of all kinds, we called on Stevan Hobfoll, a clinical psychologist and head of the behavioral sciences department at Rush University Medical Center.
Q: Is it difficult to predict violence?
A: Certainly, it can be ... but there's a lot more anger than violence. In general, violent crime has gone down since the late 1960s and '70s (according to the FBI). The reasons range from fewer children born into poor families because of abortion and availability of birth control to the number of police.
Q: What do we know about people who become violent?
A: Fewer people are exposed to violent upbringing, and it usually takes that combination (of experiencing both anger and violence in childhood) to make violence occur. And then there are those who might not be violent, but go through military training, which teaches that violence is the way to solve problems. So, what seems like a coping strategy during military service gets carried over to civilian life.
Q: I'm interested in workplace violence. In New York, the shooter — who had been fired — and the victim were from the same office. Are managers not well-trained to handle layoffs?
A: In these situations, it's not uncommon to have two security people accompany a trusted employee to his desk, load up a box of his belongings and walk him out the door. They take the worst case scenario and treat it like it's the norm. … That's what happens when you have lawyers and security people managing the termination process instead of HR (human resources) people. It looks like an arrest.
Q: So what's a better way?
A: Instead of expecting the worst-case scenario, look at that employee you're dealing with. If it's computer files you're worried about, then turn off access. In best practices, employees get help finding jobs and other assistance. ... But now it looks like feudal times, when a serf was driven from his land by whip.
Q: Are some workplaces more stressful than others?
A: Some years ago, we had the term "go postal" because of the shootings at post offices. We've actually studied these sorting facilities, which are very high stress — and where you were yelled at or written up for falling under expectations. A high number of Vietnam veterans worked at the facilities, many of whom had PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). That's a bad combination ... trained to use violence to solve problems and a high-stress situation.
Q: Has the bad economy created more of these conflicts?
A: We know that economic downturns have been linked to domestic violence and alcohol abuse. Workplace violence also seems to go up during an economic downturn. The problem here is that this also may be related to increased political finger-pointing during such times, which makes people feel more hopeless and without solutions.
Q: What's the difference between someone with a short fuse and someone whose behavior has became a serious problem?
A: Most individuals who are violent will act violently. They will get in the person's face — literally, not just with words. Or they will make direct verbal threats. Some give a warning because they don't want to be violent, but others are intent on violence.
At home, lots of lower-level violence is more tit for tat, one pushes the other — and they end up in the ER … and that low-level violence is done equally by men and women. That is very different from domestic violence or domestic terrorism. That is usually a male, who intends violence and will be violent no matter what is done. It has nothing to do with being provoked ... and the first is quite different than the second.
Q: Are there different types of violence?
A: Yes. The first is politically motivated, which is what we saw against the Sikhs or the Fort Hood shootings. The second is a severe psychotic disorder, where the individual is mentally unstable. The third category would be those who want power or revenge. At Columbine, the shooters didn't have a political agenda or appear to be psychotic. They just wanted power. And, of course, there can be an overlap ... so you can be both psychotic and political.
Latest Health
Q: How much does biology play a part in all this?
A: We know testosterone plays a part. Young men are more prone to aggression than older men ... which is why steroids increase the likelihood of violence and why whoever gave, say, the football player steroids should also be culpable. Likewise, when men get older and testosterone decreases, they become less violent.
Q: So, is it a problem if your partner yells at motorists, berates waiters, etc.?
A: If it creates conflict for you, then it's a problem. A lot of marital counseling addresses anger. There are also a lot of good anger management programs out there. ... Psychotherapy with pharmacology can work quite well.

Man of Mystery
Downtown denizens who stroll the bricks on a warm weekend evening may have noticed a new addition to the parade of characters haunting the Mall recently. Tall and lean, sporting a grey mustache and spectacles, and clad in a turn-of-the-century cutaway and top hat, Rob Craighurst is exactly the sort of person one would expect to be luring folks into murder and intrigue.
Every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evening from April through October, Craighurst leads whoever shows up at 8pm in front of Marco and Luca Dumpling Shop on a two-hour, one-mile ramble through the century-old mystery of the most famous murder in Charlottesville history. Stepping back in time, he unwinds the tale of Fannie McCue, wife of former mayor and prominent lawyer Sam McCue, who was murdered in the couple's Park Street home on the night of September 4, 1904.
"I love storytelling," Craighurst said, "and the murder of the mayor's wife is just an amazing story."
The journey, which is wheelchair accessible and appropriate for mystery-lovers of all ages, includes stops at several sites significant to the story, and refers to one of the most complete accounts of the tale that appeared in the Hook in 2003.
Tour goers who pay the $10 fee (kids are $5) will hear about the old First Presbyterian Church whose Sunday night service the McCues attended just prior to the fateful event. The tour moves on to Court Square where Sam's illicit lover lived, to the Albemarle Courthouse where Sam was tried for the murder, to the old County Jail where Sam was held and eventually executed, and to the former McCue house at 601 Park Street, which now stands empty and suitably spooky.
Along the way, Craighurst peppers his spiel with other eerie anecdotes. He talks, for example, of strange apparitions at UVA's Pavilion X and Ash Lawn/Highland, tales that officials at these historic homes don't want to talk about.
"Rob has really done his research," said fellow tour guide Gayle Floyd. Floyd, who led tours in Washington, D.C. for many years and now works at Monticello, celebrated her 65th birthday by inviting all her friends along on Craighurst's tour. "We had lots of fun. The whole murder is fascinating. It's just a fun and interesting part of Charlottesville history."
Craighurst developed his business, Tell Me About It Tours, four years ago after visiting Savannah, Georgia where he and his wife Sue Berres participated in one of the old Southern city's many ghost tours.
Still searching, at the age of 59, for what he wants to be when he grows up, Craighurst was looking around for a new occupational diversion.
"I personally have never knowingly experienced a ghost," Craighurst said, "but there are lots of things that I can't explain. I just tell the stories. People can decide for themselves whether they believe in ghosts or not."
