PRESS RELEASE – Eight (8) recruits were fortunate to be part of the Soufriere Regional Development Foundation SRDF team effective March 1st, 2017.
Seven of these recruits will serve in the capacity of Warden at the Sulphur Springs Park and Docks and the other Ticket Collector at the Sulphur Springs Park.
"The new Wardens are a welcome addition to the Sulphur Springs Park and Dock. Their inclusion will strengthen the capacity of both teams and it is something that we needed urgently" said Security Supervisor Lennox Perpie.
The recruits were part of a three day training seminar facilitated by the organization as part of its capacity building development program.
The aim of the training was to better equip the participants to implement their duties competently and effectively.
The training which was facilitated by Corporal Marvin Herman and assisted by Sylvester Darcheville, Administrative Sergeant attached to the Soufriere Police Station, focused on key areas such as basic security procedures, report writing and customer service.
Mr. Perpie added that additional training will follow to fortify their abilities as they are transformed to security officers.
The security and wardens training program will continue at the end of March.
The Soufriere Foundation is a non-profit company located in Soufriere. Its mandate is to undertake social, cultural, human resource, tourism and infrastructure development in the Soufriere area. The organization which was established in 1993 generates revenues from its operational sites: the Sulphur Springs Park, Gros Piton Nature Trail, Comfort Center, Soufriere jetties and 88.5 Soufriere FM.

Many ask "what is the best phone on the market?" but often the answer to that is an over priced, smartphone of which 80% of the features you would never use. What about the other phones on offer then? Not the bottom end ones but like the mid range ones that are decently priced and are decent enough devices? Not much gets said about them and I often feel that they don't get as much attention as they deserve. One of those devices is the new Hisense C30 Rock and I had the opportunity to play around with one for the past three weeks and while it not be the best phone on the market it certainly did surprise me in many other aspects.
Upon receiving the device, I was please that the box it came in was small and compact and not full of other junk that just ends up taking a lot of space. Unboxing the device was quick and easy and too my surprise the phone was much larger than I thought it would be. It looked great, with a rose goldish/ copper border and screws, rubber sides and what looked like a carbon fiber back (not sure if it was real carbon fiber or not). It gives the phone a real rugged but cool look, which is part of the image Hisense is trying to portray with the device seeing that it's one of the most durable and hardy phones on the market.
It's one of the only devices I know of that has an IP68 rating and IK04 shock resistant, so not only is it dust and waterproof but it can also withstand some heavy falls. Reading it on paper and testing it out for yourself is two different things, I was hesitant at first but as the tests went on I became more and more confident with the C30 Rock, where I went as far as pouring a glass of water over it at a crowded bar just to show people how waterproof it is. People we left amazed and so was I. There was a few drop test conducted as well, some purposely and some not so much on purpose, safe to say the C30 Rock didn't even get a scratch from any of them. So full marks on the durability tests and I agree 100% with them calling it "life-dimensional", where its ready to withstand whatever life throws at it.
While the device might be pretty impressive in terms of build quality and strength, one still has to remember that it still has to work. The phone has an impressive chipset with the efficient Qualcomm Snapdragon octa-core 64 bit processor at its heart. It has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of on-board storage, with it running Android OS, of which it is the latest version of Nougat, you have access to Google drive so your storage capacity could be endless depending on the size allocated to your account. The phone boasts a 3000mAh battery with quick charge. There's a lot you can do with this phone before the battery dies on you. It even has an automatic battery saving mode to ensure a prolonged battery life. While its not the fastest phone I've used, it still wasn't slow and coped with most of the tasks I used it for.
The C30 Rock does have a big screen, a 5.2" Full HD Display with 424 pixels per inch. Its a good screen but felt the quality of it did lack in brightness now and then but regardless, it was good quality to view on. The touch screen is extremely responsive with zero lag and the phone came with some handy tricks. For example, when watching a video, if my eyes for some reason deviate from watching the screen, the phone would pause the video and start playing it again when I focused on the screen again.
The C30 Rock comes with a 16 megapixel Q-Shot primary camera with LED Flash and takes some decent quality pictures and videos of which I cannot show you none because my SD card that I had in it got corrupted... It's shutter speed isn't the fastest so make sure your hand is steady when taking pics and hold in place until after the picture is captured for perfect results. Pics in low light are decent quality as well. It has a host of modes and settings for you to play with to get the perfect snap.
For the overall product you getting and at the price you getting it at, the Hisense C30 Rock is an absolute steal. If you're not to bothered with too many features and want a good quality phone that does the job and not going to give you heart palpitations if it falls or gets liquid spilt on it, the C30 Rock is for you.

This exercise requires you to imagine that you have been given one billion dollars with no strings attached. Think about how you would spend that money on yourself. List below the kind of things you would want to do, have, or experience, and spend the money on the items until you have spent it all.
See the example below:
2. Now that you have successfully spent your billion dollars, you
may now spend another billion on others. Indicate below what you want other significant
people in your life to do, have, or see and how much you would spend on each item.
a. Buy them a house Amount Spent $200,000
Now see if you can tell the difference between your primary and secondary needs. Primary needs are needs which are intrinsic to human beings and are necessary for life. Secondary needs are needs that society teaches us we need as necessary for life.
Go back over your list and indicate which needs are primary and which are secondary. Be sure and explain your reasoning.
Sample Answer
1. Buying a house for $500,000 ( Secondary ) ( Primary need here is likely ( belongingness, ego ) as it is not likely that one needs a house that expensive for the primary need of shelter alone.
For example, buying a house may be a primary or secondary. Secondary if it based upon more than a need for shelter. Primary if based upon a need for shelter. List each item with the secondary and the primary need as indicated in my example above.

Nothing's more fun than sitting down on the couch after a long day of work and playing games on your Xbox. Gaming has actually been shown to reduce stress, and help people relax.
The Xbox 360 has been a popular gaming device since the day that it first came out, and while the Xbox 360 is a high quality device, even it can need replacements from time to time.
At Repairs Universe we know how important gaming is, and that's why we carry Xbox replacement parts to help you fix your Xbox and get back into the action. We carry the charge and play controller cable, for a better gaming experience, as well as the laser lens replacement parts, and also sell the 512 MB memory card as well.

Readers interested in further information on the Dealey Plaza "hit-teams" should review THIS.
It is an area which is still ripe for further research but time is beginning to run-out in that most of the people who were directly involved are now dead.
I encourage those with an interest to listen to the video tape confession of James E. Files who claims to have been the Grassy Knoll Assassin and those of Chauncey Holt who has said that he was one of the so-called "3 tramps" and also the person who forged the false credentials for the fake Secret Service Agents who appeared in Dealey Plaza after the JFK limousine sped to Parkland Hospital.
We now know that there were no genuine Secret Service Agents in Dealey Plaza after the Presidential Party passed through and yet many witnesses report encountering men in suits who flashed their fake Secret Service ID's. These men were there for several reasons. First they made certain that the assassins were able to escape unscathed and second, they were there to confiscate photographic film from witnesses who had taken still and moving pictures of the motorcade. This allowed the conspirators to control the visual evidence and ultimately to alter the Zapruder film and other home movies taken that day in such a way as to match what quickly became known as the "lone-nut assassin" theory. Last, these men were able to determine the names of witnesses who might need to be pressured into changing their impressions of what they saw that day. Some of those who could not be intimidated met their demise in numbers which far exceed those which are compatible with chance alone, meaning, they were murdered.
These early maneuvers carried out by the fake Secret Service agents were critical to the overall success of the conspiracy perhaps even more so than the "stand-down" of the actual Secret Service Agents themselves whose inaction resulted in JFK being killed. Control of the crime scene was key in terms of altering objective evidence that was incompatible with what their "official (false) version" ultimately became.
With Respect to Chauncey Holt:
--Holt Says Oswald was Falsely Accused! Holt always felt a sympathy for Oswald and doesn't think its right that Oswald's wife and children should be stigmatized the way they have been all these years. His video remarks in this regard appear extremely genuine. As he makes them he is literally moved to tears.
--Holt testified he saw multiple assassins in Dealey Plaza in the vicinity of Houston and Elm Streets on November 22, 1963 including but not limited to Louis Posada, Freddy Lugo, Rip Roberson and Orlando Bosch.
With Respect to James Files:
--Files confessed to killing John F. Kennedy with a head shot from the Grassy Knoll using a hand-held Remington Fireball XP-100 with scope in which he had placed a mercury bullet. Files says that if JKF's body is every exhumed we will know it is his body if the mercury that would still be present in his skull is found. Interestingly, the world's foremost medical expert on the JFK Assassination case, Dr. David W. Mantik believes he can see evidence of mercury on the JFK skull X-rays.

Now that the internet is something that everyone uses, some of its more complex facets have to be simplified so they can be communicated effectively to ordinary people. The internet is a "series of tubes" where "spams and scams come through the portal" thanks to a veritable army of "cybercriminals" and whatnot. I'm all for simplifying the internet, but let's stop using the cyber prefix for everything. It makes you sound like the worst kind of idiot.
We see cyber everywhere these days, mostly in mainstream news headlines.
Cyber Criminals Steal Millions
Cyber Security Expert Warns Of Threat
Cyber Bully Trend Emerges
Cyber Army Mobilises Against Target
No. Stop it. I can't take it anymore. It's so derpy.
How did we get here? How did we stand by and whip ourselves into a tornado of moral panic over things that happen on the internet? Is it so complex a system that we'd rather wrap it up in one scary pseudo-word than understand what it means and its actual implication on events?
Cyber is used as an indicator these days. That means it's something you use when you want people to know that what you're talking about happened on the internet.
If someone snatches a bag on the street, he or she is a criminal. If they snatch a database full of credit card info, they're a cyber-criminal. If a guard chases the bag snatcher, he's part of security. If a smart guy chases the internet thief, he's a cyber security expert.
But here's the rub: both of the thieves are criminals, and both of the pursuers are security experts. The internet should have nothing to do with how the events are communicated: it was just a tool used in the crime.
Not only does the use of "cyber" make you sound dumb, it also makes you sound uneducated. The use of the prefix "cyber" in the context it has been commandeered for these days is actually grammatically absurd.
Cyber is derived from the word cybernetic, and was appropriated to describe just about anything to do with computers and the internet. Hence the coining of the term "cyberspace" in the late 1980's and early 1990's.
The original word, cybernetic, is actually derived from the Greek word "kybernetes", which also means "steersman". In its simplest form, it more accurately describes the pilot of a plane — the interface between human and machine control systems — than someone who sits alone in a studio apartment stealing all of your Bitcoins.
It's time to stop this, and I know how.
It isn't hard to wean ourselves from our obsession with the incorrect use of "cyber": just call it the internet. At the end of the day, the internet is a tool, not a shady neighbourhood you shouldn't walk through alone when it gets dark. I myself may have been guilty more than once of using the term cyber, but now I know better, and so should you.
For others, like mainstream news broadcasts, it might be a bit harder to get yourself off this linguistic drug. If you're obsessed with the term cyber and need a sort of methadone, think of it thusly:
The only time you should use cyber is if you imagine the year is 1997 and you want text-based sex with another consenting adult inside an internet chat room.
Back when the internet first appeared in everyone's lounge room, basement and bedroom, mankind was figuring out how good a sexual aid. "Wanna cyber?" was a term used between two adults who wanted to simulate sex with each other via a text-based chatroom.
So the next time you write the word "cyber" in front of anything, that's the context you should enforce upon your sentence: 'Oh my,' you'll exclaim, 'the criminal was masturbating at the time he committed the crime, therefore making him a true cyber-criminal?'.
So don't be dumb in future: call people what they really are in 2014: criminals, bullies, security experts. They don't live on the internet, they're everywhere: they use the internet as a tool, just like you and me.

One thing that I often forget when making cheesecakes is how long they take to bake and set up in the fridge. So it's best to make this cheesecake the day before you plan to serve it. When you're ready to dig in, top slices with whipped cream and salted peanuts, to give your guests a little hint at what's inside.
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 4 1/2 hours
Total time: 5 hours
Yield: 8-12 servings
For the crust
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (from about 18 squares)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup Smooth Operator peanut butter
For the filling
3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup Smooth Operator peanut butter
For the garnish, optional
Whipped cream
Chopped roasted salted peanuts
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, melted butter and peanut butter in a medium bowl until mixture resembles wet sand. Press into the greased pan and bake for 10 minutes, or until golden. Let cool completely.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, sour cream and sugar at medium speed until smooth. Add the eggs one a time, mixing after each. Mix in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract. Combine the flour, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a small bowl and add it all at once to the mixer. Mix until just incorporated.
4. Pour 1 cup of the filling into a medium bowl and set aside. Pour remaining filling into the pan on top of the cooled crust. Add peanut butter to the reserved filling and stir until smooth. Spoon on top of the filling and use a knife to gently swirl it into the rest of the filling.
5. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 200°F and bake for an additional two and a half hours until the center is firm and no longer appears shiny or wet. Turn off the oven and let cheesecake cool inside the oven for 2 hours. Transfer to the fridge and let chill for up to 4 hours or overnight.
6. Run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake and remove springform pan ring. Serve slices with whipped cream and salted peanuts, if desired.

white tablecloth and white napkins
to make your
decorations pop-out
on the neutral background.
Include a
strong visual centerpiece
to emphasize your theme and
add fun and/or elegance
. Make sure the centerpiece does not obstruct guests' view of each other across the table.
tapers, votives, and/or pillar candles
, in conjunction with an overhead
light on a dimmer
, to create "warm fuzzy" lighting, which is more
cozy and flattering
Whether you are plating the food or serving family-style, fully
set each place setting
for a more
spectacular visual display
Place settings
Start by centering a charger
, service plate, or dinner plate at each chair. The plate should be
1 inch from the edge
of the table. When plating food, service and dinner plates are picked up before the first course is served, chargers may, optionally, be left down for the soup and salad courses.
Make sure all of the
chairs and plates are aligned
and evenly spaced.
Set each place with
silverware, aligned 1 inch
from the edge of the table. Silverware is, generally, placed in the order it is to be used from the outside toward the plate.
Place the dessert fork to the left of the plate, the dinner fork next, and the salad fork on the outside. You may optionally center the dessert fork above the plate, prongs left and perpendicular to the silverware beside the plate.
The knife is placed on the right with the blade facing the plate. If there is more than one knife, they should also be placed with the first knife to be used at the farthest position from the plate.
The spoon is placed to the right of the knife and the soup spoon at the farthest right. The dessert spoon is typically centered above the plate with the bowl to the right and perpendicular to the silverware beside the plate.
, the dessert fork, dessert spoon, soup spoon, and steak knife may all be
brought out during the appropriate course
. Do not place more than 3 pieces of silverware on each side of the plate. If you require more, bring silverware out as the additional courses are served.
Bread Plate:
The bread plate should be above and left of the dinner plate with the butter knife, if using, across the plate.
Water Glass:
Place the glasses in order of use, starting with the water glass, which should be above and right of the plate, above the knife.
Wine Glass:
The wine glass is to the right and below the water glass. If serving red & white, place the white wine glass below and right of the red wine glass, which is below and right of the water glass. Alternatively, the 2nd wine glass may be placed to make a triangle with the 1st wine glass and water glass.
Champagne Glass:
Place the champagne glass above and right of the wine glasses.
Coffee Cup:
The coffee cup's position is to the right of the glasses. If you are tight for space, place the coffee cup lower on the right or bring coffee cups out with dessert.
The napkin should go to the left of the forks, in the charger, or in a glass.
Incorporate your theme
at each place setting by:
Placing a
theme cocktail napkin
in each charger or plate
Prepare a color-coordinated or
themed aperitif
. Serve by filling a shot or cordial glass for each guest and place on the cocktail napkin. If the aperitif and napkin are the same color you may omit the cocktail napkin to make the cordial glass stand-out. Have your aperitifs in place before the guests enter the dining area.
Use color or
theme beads as a napkin ring
for guests to optionally wear.
Here are a few aperitif suggestions by color:
Black: Chilled black vodka, Blavod, Black Russian
Blue: Vodka w/blue cuacao., Blue Kamikaze
Red: Campari or Raspberry Schnapps
Green: Sour Apple Schnapps, Melon Ball
Teal: Vodka w/ Sour Apple & a few drops of Blue Curacao, Melon Ball with Blue Curacao
Pink: P.i.n.k. vodka, vodka with a few drops of raspberry, Pink Lady
Purple: Grape Schnapps, blue Schnapps w/ raspberry
Orange: Gran Marnier; triple sec, Cointreau, or orange flavored vodka
Yellow: Galiano, tequila
If necessary, use a small amount of
Jell-O, Kool-aid or food coloring
to color a flavored vodka or any other clear drink you wish to use.
For a
birthday party
, add an extra feeling of celebration by
hanging crepe streamers or dangling swirls
from the ceiling.
Dinner Party Table Seating
Always have a seating arrangement plan
, no matter how small a crowd – even a party of four. Here's why:
Couples, partners, and best friends
will usually talk to each other quite easily. Always
seat them across the table
from one another so that their conversation naturally
includes those seated around
them. Their familiarity will
spark activity and interest
at the table with less effort by you.
On the other hand, when
seated next to each other, it excludes everyone
else from their conversation. Furthermore, sitting them too far apart may stifle their conversation.
Technically, the guest of honor is seated to the right of the host
and their dinner partner is seated to the right of the co-host. Personally, I
prefer to seat the guest of honor in the center
of the table to allow him/her access to the greatest number of other guests.
Plan your seating arrangement by
your conversationalists and
fun guests first
. If you have more than one, separate them. Then assign their
partner the seat directly across
If a guest does not have a partner, seat the guest they know best that also does not have a partner directly across.
Decide who you would like to assist you during the meal, if you need it.
Do not use your co-host for assistance while serving.
One host should be with the rest of the guests at all times.
shyest guest is often a good pick
, because it gives them something to do without the social anxiety. And, it does not kill the party when you both are out of the room.
Seat your
designated helper to your left
. Of course, don't tell them they are the designated helper, just quietly ask them if they would give you hand in the kitchen (if you need it).
Dinner Party Table Serving
Before your guests arrive, choose
how you will serve dinner:
Plate the food
put the food on each plate in the kitchen and bring out to each guest, also called "restaurant style"
Serve family style
allow the guests to help themselves at the table from serving bowls and platters
Set up a buffet
put the food in serving dishes on a buffet, counter, or separate table and have your guests get up and serve their plates
allows for a much
more interesting presentation
, and should be no problem with a little assistance.
If you want to effortlessly execute the synchronization of cooking, plating, serving, and clearing, as well as any birthday festivities, simply
write out a detailed timeline
of events before the party.
It is extremely
difficult to concentrate
and remember all the details you have planned after your guests arrive. The solution: give yourself some direction and reminders in the form of a
written schedule of things to do
When heating or cooking, always
use a timer during a dinner party
. If you need more than one, use the
alarm clock on your phone
and carry it with you. The last thing you want to do is forget to take something off the stove or out of the oven. It is very
easy to get distracted
attending to your guests and lose track of time.
Dinner parties are
perfect for birthdays
because you can use the time between courses for birthday festivities. Plan to have the birthday boy or girl
open cards and gifts between courses
right before the main course.
This gives you a
little extra time
to get the main course served, and it is
completely adjustable
to you. If you are ready to serve, save the rest of the cards and gifts for after the main course and before dessert.

Justin Siempre estaba sonriendo feliz...
Justin tenía 12 años de edad cuando fue asesinado por Brian Horn, delincuente sexual reinsidente y "vigilado", se acomodó de taxista para poder abordar a sus víctimas, usando "las redes sociales", en este caso FaceBook.
It has been only 3 shorts months since Justin Bloxum was kidnapped and murdered. Police say, Brian Douglas Horn lured Justin to his death after he met him on Facebook.
This week a bill that would restrict employment opportunities of registered sex offenders crossed its first hurdle Tuesday with favorable support from a Senate committee.
Senate Bill 789, co-authored by Sen. Sherri Cheek, R-Shreveport, and Rep. Richard Burford, R-Stonewall, would prohibit registered sex offenders from driving taxicabs, limousines and buses. It also would make service-type jobs, where entry would be required into residences, and carnival rides off-limits.
Cheek refers to the bill as the Justin Bloxom Bill in memory of the 12-year-old Stonewall boy who was killed March 30. Brian Douglas Horn, a registered sex offender with two prior convictions involving sexual activity with juveniles, is charged in Bloxom's death.
Seated near Bloxom's mother, Amy Bloxom, and the boy's grandparents, Don and Madelyn Witham, Cheek told Senate Judiciary Committee members the bill is a work in progress with more amendments to be added before its introduction next week on the floor of the House of Representatives. Changes are being made with input from district attorneys and the attorney general's office to ensure the proposed law is "workable and enforceable."
Amy Bloxom did not address the committee.
"He was an honor student, played on the junior varsity team. He was full of promise," Cheek said of Justin Bloxom as she "put a face" on the North DeSoto Middle School seventh-grader for the committee members. "Justin was killed by a predatory monster, a registered sex offender. " It hit home; it's very personal."
Brian Horn indicted for 1st Degree Murder
Justin Bloxom's family realizes the legislation won't bring him back, but it will be a step in "this not happening to another child," Cheek said.
DeSoto Parish Sheriff Rodney Arbuckle reviewed some of the background of the case, telling committee members the suspect, Horn, who worked for Action Taxi in Bossier City, used a cell phone and posed as "Amanda," a teenage girl, as he talked via cell phone text messages with Justin Bloxom.
Horn, 34, of Keachi, got a list of phone numbers from a friend of his step-daughter, Arbuckle said. Horn's conversation with Justin Bloxom was tracked through text messages, including the plan for "Amanda" to send a taxicab to pick up Justin Bloxom from a friend's house.
"When the cab arrived, Justin had no reason to doubt that he was doing what Amanda told him to do," Arbuckle said. "Justin got in the cab, and that's the last ride he ever took."
Bloxom's body was discovered in a shallow pool of water beyond a fence line off of U.S. Highway 171, just south of the Stonewall corporate limits, a few hours after he was reported missing. Horn became a suspect when investigators learned his taxi, which ran out of gas, was sitting in the same vicinity within a short time span of Juston Bloxom's disappearance.
As part of the ongoing investigation, Horn's brother-in-law was interviewed and he shared a conversation he had with Horn about committing crimes. Horn said using a taxicab would be a good way to commit a crime and go unnoticed, Arbuckle said.
"We believe his sole purpose to take a job with this taxicab was to commit a crime of violence against a child," Arbuckle added.
Committee chairwoman Sen. Yvonne Dorsey, D-Baton rouge, wiped tears from her eyes as she accepted a motion from Sen. Robert Adley, R-Benton, to move the bill forward as amended.
"We have other prohibitions we plan to put in but we have to define what they are," Cheek said in a separate interview.

The government of Malta has proposed a bill that will protect intersex human rights - specifically, by mandating bodily autonomy for all people and making illegal any cosmetic, medically unnecessary procedures on intersex people without consent.
This is a huge step forward for intersex human rights. I hope this bill passes!
Way to go, Malta! <3

AllCom owns the communications networks and operate the Grid – the network accessed by all employs. They work closely with both Silvine and Everdyne in a complex relationship of interdependency and part-time rivalry. AllCom also handles the ubiquitous communication surveillance systems and associated databases which are accessed and managed with Silvine-developed software.
The Anansi Group grew to fill the gaps left by the other Major Corporations. Starting out as a pure furniture manufacturer the group has since grown to produce and sell everything from tooth picks and diapers to king-size beds. It operates several different retail chains catering to the different castes, and being the youngest corporation they are also the most aggressive – and in some way most unorthodox of the Majors.
Bryson Industries is the main engine, vehicle, heavy equipment and tools manufacturer in Cascadia. It's the second largest corporation within the Conglomerate, and has seen a steady rise in the last five years, to the point that some believe Bryson is making a bid for the Conglomerate Director Chair within the foreseeable future. These speculations are further fuelled by the deep rivalry and animosity between House Bryson and House Kruger.
Callaghan Construction Corp is responsible for the vast ongoing reconstructions of Glass and Cascadia Prime. Close collaboration with Bryson Industries has seen them make several advances in building techniques, machinery and material over the last decades.
Though they are the owners and operators of the public transport systems and all logistics operations in Cascadia, CL are struggling to gain influence relative to their standing on the Conglomerate Board. They provide the arteries between the Cities and the capillaries within them, and everybody knows it, but they are still sidelined by the more illustrious corporations.
Everdyne provides Cascadia with energy from several different sources, all of them nearing depletion and most of them causing heavy pollution. Everdyne also handles the extensive desalination needed to provide Cascadia with enough fresh water, and here too their resources and facilities are stretched to the breaking point.
Security, weapons manufacture and resource mining giant. Kruger Holding is the largest and most influential corporation within the Conglomerate. A Kruger has occupied the Conglomerate Director Chair for ten out of fourteen Fiscal Years since the Conglomerate's rise to power and KrugerSec personnel constitute the main bulk of the security forces enforcing order within Cascadia.
MMG is the premier news and entertainment provider in Cascadia, controlling all major news outlets, sports arenas and production companies. They are experts at propaganda, manipulation and public pacification, and the other corporations utilize their talent and know-how in their messaging to the public.
Pirandello clothes the citizens of Cascadia. They set the trends, decide the latest fashion, and further cements the strata in society by offering different clothes ranges to the Corporate Houses and regular employs, making sure the House range is priced way above the pay-level of a regular employee. The clothing lines are complemented with beauty and hygiene-products in the same price-ranges. In Cascadia the way you dress and smell is an immediate class identifier.
As the main food manufacturer and distributer in Cascadia one would expect Raposa to be larger than both Kruger and Bryson combined. But a debilitating internal rivalry, together with a series of misinformed decisions have served to marginalize this once incredible powerful corporation. They are planning a come-back though. Because people must eat, after all.
Silvine is the premiere software and electronics hardware manufacturer in Cascadia, their attention to detail and quality quickly propelling them to the top of the market where they proceeded to assimilate all competition. They are involved in several cross-collaboration projects with Kruger Holding, Everdyne Energy, and other corporations and their products range from advanced computational hardware to surveillance packages, entertainment systems and wearable devices.

The image above it in the entry of the show, a dramatic bed rug from the mid 18th C. CT. I have seen a few bed rugs, and they've all been hooked, kind of like hooked rugs. This one was embroidered, with darning and couching stitches, and probably others I don't know the name of.
Another unbelievable bed rug, again embroidered.
On the detail pic you can see the darning stitches in the brown background. Above the large central flower was a name and date, about 1768 if I remember right.
Here's the third bed rug, this one is hooked with what looked like wool thread through a wool back.
I'll post the rest tomorrow.
If you are in Connecticut any time between now and March 26, 2011, I highly recommend this exhibit. Check out www.chs.org for more info, and there's a great book with pictures of all the exhibits you can buy also.

Sex, Death, and Unplanned Silence; Met Werther Live in HD
Audiences accept random moments of mishap during performance; a clipped entrance, incorrect words, a tweak of intonation. Why? Because they are very human kinds of mistakes. What about when the mistakes are not human but technological?
In the Eyre production of Werther, it was the Wagnerian join of sex and death that made the deepest impression. Throughout the final scene Kaufman (as Werther) and Koch (as Charlotte) became intimate as the scene progressed toward the death of Werther. As the curtain came down it appeared that Charlotte might join Werther with a bullet from the other pistol in the dueling case.
Finally the repressed and denied emotions we had followed all afternoon had burst through to the surface. Then silence.
The video feed was normal, so we saw Kaufman and Koch who suddenly looked like fish as the music (that we could not hear) became quieter.
Since I know this opera I was able to run sound in my mind, but the experience was unforgettable. The final moments of the opera seemed violently repressed by the silence, as if censored. John Cage taught us to hear silence as part of the experience, as part of the music, and in this transmission it seemed very loud.
I have always pointed out the unique advantages that hearing live concert and opera transmissions. But there are also idiomatic challenges. Most often these are localized; bad focus, thin sound, not or simply turning on aisle lights during intermission. This challenge seemed bigger in scope, and it made an impression on the way we heard the opera. Are we less patient because the cause was technological?
Where did you hear the transmission? Did you lose sound? Were you able to continue to follow, or were you one of the enraged?
9 comments:
I watched at the South Shore Cinema in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, and the sound cut out exactly as you described. I believe the first subtitle in the silence was "by this kiss our souls will meld..." The moment reminded me of Godard -- forcing us out of emotional engagement and into critical attention... Since the sound came back at the moment of applause (i.e., when they would normally switch the audio to the house microphones) my guess is the source of the problem was very close to the stage...ReplyDelete
We lost sound as well here in Hayward CA; having never seen this opera, for us, the spell was irretrievably brokenReplyDelete

Lost sound in Chicago at the same time - the very critical end of the opera which destroyed the entire dramatic tension that had been building since Werther first encountered Charlotte. Quel dommage!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 15, 2014 at 6:59 PM
Unfortunately this happened in Columbia, MD too... no one was happy but everyone started laughing because it looked silly.. Too bad because the performances were so awesome overall... but that's probably what I will remember the most.ReplyDelete
Our theater Mgr was outside in the hallway afterwards to tell us that the loss of sound was world-wide. We were offered free passes for the next opera even though this was totally out of local control.ReplyDelete

Finding New Portals
"We doubted that diverging from our music industry goals could ever pay-off: we were wrong."
Ruth and I accepted a song-writing job offered by a Belfast-based theatre production company. We decided to compose on the move whilst we travelled through Thailand and Malaysia. Feeling disillusioned from our experience of living a creative life without ever gaining significant recognition, we had briefly considered taking six weeks off from our daily writing ritual to simply soak up the experiences that south-east Asia had to offer.
In the end, we brought our ukulele, strapped to a backpack to help us along as we recorded our ideas on an iPhone and shared them with a director back home via email. We wrote on the balcony of our beach bungalow in Koh Tao as the monsoons swept by and as the sun set off Turtle Island. We crafted our lyrics in cockroach-infested motels in Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur as we sweated and readjusted our tiny bedroom fan.
We were writing to a brief and working to a deadline, but we were certain that our songs should and could be more than just stopgaps between scenes on stage. It was children's interactive theatre and the songs were to be simple and memorable with soundscapes to fit an adventure involving a crew of space adventurers. We used the term 'alien' as a double entendre; whilst we described the onstage exploits of aliens from various planets (and Pluto) within our solar system, we interwove themes of togetherness, acceptance and friendship. We felt these were good messages to be teaching children, even if this message was not as conspicuous as the striped, furry arms of our Martian character or the flashing teeth of our Plutonians.
The show toured and received great reviews from children, parents and teachers who watched and participated in the immersive experience.
After a few months had passed we received a message from the uncle of a six-year-old boy who had passed away the week before. Eoin had been living with severe cerebral palsy. Having seen the theatre show a few weeks previously he had since become very unwell. We learned from his uncle that our music had been played to him continually over his last few days of life. At his funeral, Eoin's favorite song was played; one of the songs that we had written.
We both cried as soon as we read the message. We felt obligated to share it with the actors and the director of the show. Each time we reread the message we would shed more tears. Each time I came back to it I felt compelled by two instincts; empathy for Eoin's family, but also a deep gratitude that a song we had written had achieved such a high level of success. Our success was that our song was able to engage, entertain and comfort a young boy having to come to terms with the end of his short life.
In the months that went by after receiving this news we reflected on how songs can be more than just chords, melodies and lyrics. Songs can become for us, portals to another world, another place where our physical and even our mental anguish can be faded out, helping us engage with something larger than ourselves. We doubted that diverging from our music industry goals could ever pay-off: we were wrong. This idea of songs being portals to another better place is one that we have carried forward into our new project, which we have named "New Portals".
Mike, New Portals

Tom Ford Reflects Gilt Highlighting Duo ($78) is one of the premier highlighting palettes of the Summer. Although tiny in size (the compact is the same as last year's Bicoastal Blush duo), the formula of the two colors is absolutely superb.
It is a soft, well-made, pigmented, smooth and perfectly formulated to adhere directly on the skin.
The top shade is a warm yellow gold. As such, it looks best over bronzer or for an evening look. The bottom color is an amazing rose gold that looks beautiful as a shimmery blush (or applied lightly as a highlighter).
These shades have a life and complexity that is absolutely spot-on gorgeous. Yes, good things do come in small packages. This one is an amazing highlighter, a standout in a crowded field.
The Tom Ford Reflects Gilt highlighter palette is now available at Nordstrom, Sephora, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's and Neiman Marcus.

These look gorgeous! They seem like they would be the perfect touch of radiance on the skin!
I tried this in store and although the colors were not right for me, the formula was amazing. Bi-Coastal on the other hand is one of my all time favorites!
Absolutely gorgeous duo! I've been wanting to splurge on a good highlighter so this post is more than helpful! Thank you very much for sharing!

Hi! I love your blog for all the high quality reviews and pictures.
I'm wondering if you know any dupes for Chanel illusion dombre Mirifiqe (the black sparkly one)? It's been discontinued and I don't understamd why, the new black one, Fleur de pierre, is just not as sparkly. Also Epatant has been discontinued and I've bought Lancome's Erika F after reading your review comparing them. They are similiar and I like Erika F but it is not as light as Epatant so I cannot use it in the inner corners of my eyes, which I can with Epatant. Do you know any good eye shadows for inner corner highlight? I also used Chanel soft eyeshadow Infini before but it has also been discontinued 🙁
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Will Reid pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowing three runs, one earned, as the Rock Hill baseball team defeated Clover 7-3 on Friday.
Reid gave up five hits to move to 4-0 on the season. Zach Carter came on to get the final two outs and finish off the Blue Eagles.
Rock Hill was coming off an extra-inning loss Thursday to Fort Mill. The Bearcats led that game 5-1 before Fort Mill rallied, handing Rock Hill its first Region 3-AAAA loss.
"Last night we just didn't finish and we've got to do a better job finishing out ball games," Rock Hill coach Dell Corley said. "But I'm happy with the win. We've got some great attitudes and we are learning how to handle adversity. I think they proved that tonight."

The Bearcats struck early Friday. Carter doubled to the gap between right and center fields with one out in the first and scored on Chase Watts' single to left.
Clover starter Barrett Courtwright, who threw a perfect game against South Pointe last week, left the game with an injury and was replaced by Patrick Love.
Rock Hill scored two more in the first inning, with Cody Edkins ripping an RBI double down the third base line. Edkins finished 3-for-3.
Clover scored an unearned run in the second when Zane Van Hook reached on an infield hit and scored on Nate Morrison's hit.
The Bearcats kept the pressure on in the home half of the inning. Wes Bostic reached on catcher's interference, Caleb Hamilton walked, and Carter scored them with a triple to right-center. He scored on a balk to make it 6-1.
Trailing by six runs, Clover scored two runs in the sixth on an error, two hits, a walk, and a sacrifice fly. Love singled home one run and Chase Galant's sacrifice fly scored Van Hook who had singled. Van Hook was 2-for-4. Kevin Wade pitched the sixth inning for Clover and retired the side in order, striking out two.

I have changed obsessions in the last week, moved from cooking back to stamping....Although I am sure Jamie will not be very impressed with that...I somehow need to find more spare hours in the day to do both!
Well, this week was the deadline for the Viva La Verve Sketch Challenge for January. And I actually got around to doing all 5 cards! There are usually 4 each month, but this time we had 5 sketches to follow. Well, I kind of like to do them all in the last week, as I have all the sketches in front of me and it somehow seems easier....just sit down for a few good hours and do them all.....Maybe this is where the cooking time is going??? Some of the cards do look quite delish :-)
Without any further ado, here are the sketches and cards to match. The first week has a sketch and a colour picture to go with it.
For the Black Tie Birdies and the Elephant cards I used some of the stamps I won from Viva La Verve November. This was the Original Post with the cards.
I will not list all the supplies used, especially the COPICS list, as it is quite extensive. But if you want more details please email me and I would be happy to look at them more in detail and try to figure that one.....

Timers in the Window spec are needed not just to paper over ECMAScript limitations, but specifically to define a timer that plays well with the user agent's event/paint loop. In particular, for safety and interoperability, you need to ensure that timers fire at a time when the DOM is in a consistent state, and you have to describe how they interact with things like location changes, style updates, etc. So even languages like Java need a defined timer API. Java has its own timers, but because each runs on a separate thread, they can give no guarantees about running at an appropriate time. In fact they can't even give very good guarantees about firing order. Regards, MaciejReceived on Saturday, 27 January 2007 23:48:40 UTC

- The Times Complete History of the World (one of our main history texts)
- National Geographic Visual History of the World (one of our main history texts)
- Civilizations, Explorations, and Conquests (one of our main history texts)

Cincinnati Reds manager Bryan Price apologized on Tuesday for using inappropriate language in a pre-game rant to reporters on Monday.
Cincinnati Reds manager Bryan Price apologized on Tuesday for using inappropriate language in a pre-game rant to reporters on Monday.
"In my pre-game conversation with reporters yesterday, I used wholly inappropriate language to describe the media coverage of our team," Price said, according to a pair of tweets sent by the Reds' official Twitter account. "While I stand by the content of my message, I am sorry for the choice of words."
• Cubs' future grows brighter with call-up of top prospect Addison Russell
The Cincinnati Enquirer reported that Price was upset with the paper's report that catcher Devin Mesoraco was unavailable to pinch hit in Sunday's loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. During a back-and-forth with Enquirer reporter C. Trent Rosecrans, Price said the f-word a total of 77 times.
Price was also upset by Rosecrans' report that the Reds had called up catcher Tucker Barnhart and sent down backup catcher Kyle Skipworth because Price had not been able inform Skipworth of his demotion before the report was published.
• Power Rankings: Tigers in first, but Dodgers, Cardinals, Mets are close
After Price's rant on Monday, the Reds (6–7) defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 6–1. Cincinnati entered the game having lost four straight games and seven of its last eight.
