Manage resources with Azure PowerShell and Resource Manager
In this article, you learn how to manage your solutions with Azure PowerShell and Azure Resource Manager. If you are not familiar with Resource Manager, see Resource Manager Overview. This article focuses on management tasks. You will:
- Create a resource group
- Add a resource to the resource group
- Add a tag to the resource
- Query resources based on names or tag values
- Apply and remove a lock on the resource
- Delete a resource group
This article does not show how to deploy a Resource Manager template to your subscription. For that information, see Deploy resources with Resource Manager templates and Azure PowerShell.
Get started with Azure PowerShell
If you have not installed Azure PowerShell, see How to install and configure Azure PowerShell.
If you have installed Azure PowerShell in the past but have not updated it recently, consider installing the latest version. You can update the version through the same method you used to install it. For example, if you used the Web Platform Installer, launch it again and look for an update.
To check your version of the Azure Resources module, use the following cmdlet:
Get-Module -ListAvailable -Name AzureRm.Resources | Select Version
This article was updated for version 3.3.0. If you have an earlier version, your experience might not match the steps shown in this article. For documentation about the cmdlets in this version, see AzureRM.Resources Module.
Log in to your Azure account
Before working on your solution, you must log in to your account.
To log in to your Azure account, use the Login-AzureRmAccount cmdlet.
The cmdlet prompts you for the login credentials for your Azure account. After logging in, it downloads your account settings so they are available to Azure PowerShell.
The cmdlet returns information about your account and the subscription to use for the tasks.
Environment : AzureCloud
Account : email@example.com
TenantId : {guid}
SubscriptionId : {guid}
SubscriptionName : Example Subscription One
CurrentStorageAccount :
If you have more than one subscription, you can switch to a different subscription. First, let's see all the subscriptions for your account.
It returns enabled and disabled subscriptions.
SubscriptionName : Example Subscription One
SubscriptionId : {guid}
TenantId : {guid}
State : Enabled
SubscriptionName : Example Subscription Two
SubscriptionId : {guid}
TenantId : {guid}
State : Enabled
SubscriptionName : Example Subscription Three
SubscriptionId : {guid}
TenantId : {guid}
State : Disabled
To switch to a different subscription, provide the subscription name with the Set-AzureRmContext cmdlet.
Set-AzureRmContext -SubscriptionName "Example Subscription Two"
Create a resource group
Before deploying any resources to your subscription, you must create a resource group that will contain the resources.
To create a resource group, use the New-AzureRmResourceGroup cmdlet. The command uses the Name parameter to specify a name for the resource group and the Location parameter to specify its location.
New-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name TestRG1 -Location "South Central US"
The output is in the following format:
ResourceGroupName : TestRG1
Location : southcentralus
ProvisioningState : Succeeded
Tags :
ResourceId : /subscriptions/{guid}/resourceGroups/TestRG1
If you need to retrieve the resource group later, use the following cmdlet:
Get-AzureRmResourceGroup -ResourceGroupName TestRG1
To get all the resource groups in your subscription, do not specify a name:
Add resources to a resource group
To add a resource to the resource group, you can use the New-AzureRmResource cmdlet or a cmdlet that is specific to the type of resource you are creating (like New-AzureRmStorageAccount). You might find it easier to use a cmdlet that is specific to a resource type because it includes parameters for the properties that are needed for the new resource. To use New-AzureRmResource, you must know all the properties to set without being prompted for them.
However, adding a resource through cmdlets might cause future confusion because the new resource does not exist in a Resource Manager template. Microsoft recommends defining the infrastructure for your Azure solution in a Resource Manager template. Templates enable you to reliably and repeatedly deploy your solution. For this article, you create a storage account with a PowerShell cmdlet, but later you generate a template from your resource group.
The following cmdlet creates a storage account. Instead of using the name shown in the example, provide a unique name for the storage account. The name must be between 3 and 24 characters in length, and use only numbers and lower-case letters. If you use the name shown in the example, you receive an error because that name is already in use.
New-AzureRmStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName TestRG1 -AccountName mystoragename -Type "Standard_LRS" -Location "South Central US"
If you need to retrieve this resource later, use the following cmdlet:
Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceName mystoragename -ResourceGroupName TestRG1
Add a tag
Tags enable you to organize your resources according to different properties. For example, you may have several resources in different resource groups that belong to the same department. You can apply a department tag and value to those resources to mark them as belonging to the same category. Or, you can mark whether a resource is used in a production or test environment. In this article, you apply tags to only one resource, but in your environment it most likely makes sense to apply tags to all your resources.
The following cmdlet applies two tags to your storage account:
Set-AzureRmResource -Tag @{ Dept="IT"; Environment="Test" } -ResourceName mystoragename -ResourceGroupName TestRG1 -ResourceType Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts
Tags are updated as a single object. To add a tag to a resource that already includes tags, first retrieve the existing tags. Add the new tag to the object that contains the existing tags, and reapply all the tags to the resource.
$tags = (Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceName mystoragename -ResourceGroupName TestRG1).Tags
$tags += @{Status="Approved"}
Set-AzureRmResource -Tag $tags -ResourceName mystoragename -ResourceGroupName TestRG1 -ResourceType Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts
Search for resources
Use the Find-AzureRmResource cmdlet to retrieve resources for different search conditions.
To get a resource by name, provide the ResourceNameContains parameter:
Find-AzureRmResource -ResourceNameContains mystoragename
To get all the resources in a resource group, provide the ResourceGroupNameContains parameter:
Find-AzureRmResource -ResourceGroupNameContains TestRG1
To get all the resources with a tag name and value, provide the TagName and TagValue parameters:
Find-AzureRmResource -TagName Dept -TagValue IT
To all the resources with a particular resource type, provide the ResourceType parameter:
Find-AzureRmResource -ResourceType Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts
Get resource ID
Many commands take a resource ID as a parameter. To get the ID for a resource and store in a variable, use:
$webappID = (Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceGroupName exampleGroup -ResourceName exampleSite).ResourceId
Lock a resource
When you need to make sure a critical resource is not accidentally deleted or modified, apply a lock to the resource. You can specify either a CanNotDelete or ReadOnly.
To create or delete management locks, you must have access to
Microsoft.Authorization/* or
Microsoft.Authorization/locks/* actions. Of the built-in roles, only Owner and User Access Administrator are granted those actions.
To apply a lock, use the following cmdlet:
New-AzureRmResourceLock -LockLevel CanNotDelete -LockName LockStorage -ResourceName mystoragename -ResourceType Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts -ResourceGroupName TestRG1
The locked resource in the preceding example cannot be deleted until the lock is removed. To remove a lock, use:
Remove-AzureRmResourceLock -LockName LockStorage -ResourceName mystoragename -ResourceType Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts -ResourceGroupName TestRG1
For more information about setting locks, see Lock resources with Azure Resource Manager.
Remove resources or resource group
You can remove a resource or resource group. When you remove a resource group, you also remove all the resources within that resource group.
To delete a resource from the resource group, use the Remove-AzureRmResource cmdlet. This cmdlet deletes the resource, but does not delete the resource group.
Remove-AzureRmResource -ResourceName mystoragename -ResourceType Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts -ResourceGroupName TestRG1
To delete a resource group and all its resources, use the Remove-AzureRmResourceGroup cmdlet.
Remove-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name TestRG1
For both cmdlets, you are asked to confirm that you wish to remove the resource or resource group. If the operation successfully deletes the resource or resource group, it returns True.
Run Resource Manager scripts with Azure Automation
This article shows you how to perform basic operations on your resources with Azure PowerShell. For more advanced management scenarios, you typically want to create a script, and reuse that script as needed or on a schedule. Azure Automation provides a way for you to automate frequently used scripts that manage your Azure solutions.
The following topics show you how to use Azure Automation, Resource Manager, and PowerShell to effectively perform management tasks:
- For information about creating a runbook, see My first PowerShell runbook.
- For information about working with galleries of scripts, see Runbook and module galleries for Azure Automation.
- For runbooks that start and stop virtual machines, see Azure Automation scenario: Using JSON-formatted tags to create a schedule for Azure VM startup and shutdown.
- For runbooks that start and stop virtual machines off-hours, see Start/Stop VMs during off-hours solution in Automation.
Next steps
- To learn about creating Resource Manager templates, see Authoring Azure Resource Manager Templates.
- To learn about deploying templates, see Deploy an application with Azure Resource Manager Template.
- You can move existing resources to a new resource group. For examples, see Move Resources to New Resource Group or Subscription.

This post contains awesome words and some mediocre pictures of our new house!
So, we've moved! I am currently sitting on a couch in the very first house we've ever lived in since being married! This is surreal, people. I was just telling a friend yesterday that it's so weird to feel like a whole individual. I never realized that living in an apartment made me feel like an actual ice cube, in an ice tray (don't judge, that was the first thing that came to mind and I'm tired.) Someone above me, beside me, in the exact same apartment, exact same porch, so many people. Now I feel like…a family in a house. It's so weird. Good, but it really feels like an alternate reality. See? I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it.
I honestly cannot believe I have time to be writing right now. My Joey, who just turned 6 months old, has been working on some teeth for, oh, I'd say, 6 months now. I feel an actual bump now, so that's good progress. But he's been such mean kid. A serious bully. And I'm afraid if I just keep feeding him because he's sad and just wants to eat, his baby boobies will just get out of control. This kid is a chunk. So I hold him every second of every day and it's really not fair that my arms look none the better for it.
|Do not let that grin fool you. He is a crazy bully baby.
I've been learning to build a fire in a fireplace, since we have one, and my first attempt was…let's just say Jeremiah now tells everyone who walks in the door that "Mommy has now learned to make a REAL fire!" It's this delicate balance of the right amount of oxygen and fuel, and you can't smother it and you have to make sure you sweet talk it just the right way or it'll get mad and turn cold. That is how Joey has been! It's this delicate balance of formula and all of my attention, and if one of those is not there, he's losing his mind and my other boys are like, "MOMMY! Joey's crying again! Please! We can't hear our movie!" Which, let's be honest, them watching movies is the only time I'm NOT chasing someone up and down these
wretched gorgeous stairs, or yelling
pleading asking them to stop fighting for the love of all things holy!
|This is actual, rare footage of my boys not fighting..
or is Judah about to wack Miah with that basket of books?
Trevor's job is going well. He absolutely loves it. It's a pipeline job, which means sales take 4-6 weeks to fall in, so the first 2 months we were like, OK GOD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! WE HAVE NO MONEY! We made this switch because 1- we were tired of living in the cycle of {get payed, pay bills, have a tiny bit left over for gas, run out of money, OOPS can't save anything! get payed, pay bills etc.} and we knew that his position in Wells Fargo was NOT utilizing Trevor's awesomeness. But I had to tell him that, because he really had no idea how awesome he is, and the gifts God has given him, and how those were NOT being used at Wells Fargo (to their full potential.) And when we both started talking about all these things randomly one night, and realized God had given us both the same vision and thoughts, we knew He was up to something. He had this new job 2 weeks later.
The transition has been rough, but it's been SO incredible guys! We've reevaluated our priorities, and made the decision to fully trust God with our finances. FULLY. When we have no food, or enough money to pay our bills, we don't turn to our credit cards, which are maxed out anyways (just being honest), but that's not the point. We don't open a new one, or whatever. It's been a LONG time coming, this decision to really and fully just lay our financial fears and struggles at the feet of Jesus, and trust HIM to be our provider. For 5 years we've been so afraid to let go of control of finances. After brain surgery, we struggled so much. I was actually tempted to steal toilet paper from a business once. Isn't that so sad? And Trevor had to use his 1 free drink at Starbucks when he worked there, to bring milk home for us some days. We have come SO far, and it's only by God's amazing grace!
|Not sure why my kids look like creepy zombies in this picture....
I love seeing how He's going to meet a need, because He's so creative, and it NEVER looks like how I'd picture (someone coming up to me and saying, "God told me to give you 1 million dollars!) And we've truly committed to tithing a part of EVERY single money that comes in. And I can actually do it with joy now, even though we don't have a lot. It's so weird. I don't say this to sound all holy, because we haven't been making good choices AT ALL with money, and this is a new thing, a very new thing, and it's hard. But guys, the closeness we feel to God's heart, by following His leading and His commands, it's just so freeing. We have this peace, this overwhelming assurance that no matter what happens, with this job, this house, our cars, our kids, each other, we will be okay because we are God's, and God takes care of His children.
So that's life lately. A lot of tears and gritting our teeth and praising God and walking up and down stairs and screaming babies and love and I wouldn't change any part of it at all. Just like a fire can burn you and cause damage if you don't handle it the right way, it can also be gorgeous and provide warmth and that incredible feeling of coziness. I'm not sure how that ties in with everything I've just talked about, but take from it what you may, and know that I am really enjoying my new fireplace.
|We'll pretend this is what my dining room looks like right now...
|This one's for you Dave.
I had to text him and tell him to send me a crazy pic of himself,
because I don't have any of him in the new house,
and this is a new house only post. Isn't he a hottie? ow ow!
PS- When we get around to it, which might be next Spring, we'll take one of those fun new house pictures with all of us in front of our new house. I've never been good at taking fun milestone pictures. it's part of my rebellious tendencies.
Things I am thankful for (because I never want this blog post to end and I need a good dose of perspective):
healthy children
a husband who loves me so well
stairs that help me feel alive
leaves to play in
my baby's smile
friends, so many friends
sunshine streaming
Netflix and Amazon Prime Movies ftw
provider God
not taking myself too seriously

I took Derek and Alden Redwine, Jose Wejebe and Trevor Petro fishing for cobia on Trevor's birthday. We saw a few free swimmers that wouldn't bite anything we threw at them. Then, we found a manta ray loaded with cobes. We ended up catching four keepers to 30 lbs and a couple throw backs in a matter of just a few minutes. While we were heading to another area to look for more fish, Derek spotted the highlight of the year! What we initially thought was another ray, turned out to be a 15 ft great white shark!! It was an awesome sight to see the behemoth swimming beside the boat! What a birthday present for Trevor and the rest of us!!

Please take this with a grain of salt. This was posted by weibo user Zeux1s and could just be a digibash. I hope we can get a clarification on this. Still, this would be cool. This has been debunked and it is fan made digibash. Still quite nice.

I have been sitting on a new blog category idea and some special wedding theme inspiration boards a for a few months now. The reason I've held back sharing them, is because I wanted to wait for the right time to introduce them. As fate would have it, there is some very exciting news for all you future bride and grooms out there directly related to my new wedding inspiration idea and theme board, so it can't wait any longer.
I'll start by introducing our new category:
Wedding Themes Inspired By Song
{Image credit: Train "Marry Me"}
The idea is to take inspiration from a song you love and use the music, lyrics or video clip to help design your wedding theme. It's a wonderful way to kick start ideas for your wedding design and draw inspiration from your love of a particular song.
One of the first song themes I planned to feature was 'Marry Me' by Train. And as you will see at the end of this post, it was timely I share the board with you right now. So relax and enjoy the clip, take inspiration from the matching wedding board and read on to discover why Train's song 'Marry Me' could mean more to you than just another pretty love song!
And here is my board inspired by the video clip:
Retro Vintage Wedding Theme
Board Details: Taking inspiration directly from the Marry Me music clip – which takes place in an old 50s diner – I decided to go with a retro vintage wedding theme. I used the waitresses' blue uniform and a wonderful 'Waitress' movie poster as my starting point and came up with a aqua blue and white colour scheme, accented with pretty pops of pink and yellow. Retro style elements include 1950s style dresses for the bride and bridesmaids, vintage inspired pink and white posy bouquets and a vintage getaway car. Decor details include pretty fabric flag banners, a bright tablescape with retro glasses with striped straws, aqua coloured linens with pink and white striped accents and a waitress style clip-board for menu settings. Sweet retro desserts include cupcakes, popcorn, ice-cream cones, homemade apple pie and a soda fountain.
STOP PRESS! – How You Can Have Train At Your Wedding
Would you believe, BRIDES magazine in conjunction with popular rock band Train, is giving one lucky couple a once-in-a-lifetime Bridal Dance experience for their wedding. Yes, you better believe it! The winners will receive a personalized Train video greeting followed by the music video clip "Marry Me" to present to their wedding guests before their bridal dance. How about that for a showstopping way to start your reception.
To be in the running for this unforgettable wedding gift you need to visit Bride's Facebook Page where you can tell them your proposal story and upload you and your fiance's photos. The competition finishes on 19th September, so you won't want to delay getting in your entry in.
So there you have it! Little did I know the Marry Me Train Theme Board I had up my sleeve would be so appropriate for this exciting news! Let us know if you like our Wedding Theme Inspired by Song idea and be sure to keep an eye out for more stylish wedding themes coming your way soon!

Re: "Pastor of megachurch, online investor linked to porn-site domains" (TNT, 2-17).
I was shocked to read the article regarding Pastor William Wolfson. I am not a member of the Parkland congregation, nor am I familiar with Wolfson. However, I was surprised that such a blurry connection between the pastor and the alleged "porn sites" which, according to the article, contain no content, is considered newsworthy.
It seems to me that before an article like this one is published, which essentially slanders a man, that more care is taken. What exactly is the point here? In the large scheme of life, this all seems pretty inconsequential.
If your point is that Wolfson is a bad Christian or unworthy to lead a congregation of believers, then I suggest that the staff at The News Tribune take a moment to reflect on the words of Jesus, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."


text: "The main idea is to broadcast locally that a service is about to happen in church. The fact that we enjoy the process of ringing bells, is a bonus. We aim to teach all who are willing to learn. We also try to improve the range of methods(tunes) we can ring. St Wilfrid's belongs to the Yorkshire Association of Change Ringers, so we can be involved with other bands of ringers. We would welcome anyone who wants to join us,everybody learns at a different pace and there is no pressure to learn quickly, more an emphasis on enjoying the excercise of ringing the bells".

I have been on vacation this week. After spending a few days in a lovely beach town, I was reminded of an essential fashion fact: stay true to your own style. This is a lesson hard-learned, especially growing up a woman. It starts in the middle school years – that feeling that you have to look like everyone else in order to fit in. And so you tell your mom that you have to have a certain kind of clothing in order to be successful (your mom, wanting to help you, will be tempted to succumb to your whims in order to help!). It gets better once you enter high school and begin the process of wanting to stand out – even if just a bit. And so you experiment with new styles and explore different attitudes, but the truth is that the need to fit in rears its head at different points in your life, especially when you find yourself in new environments. It did again for me when I started college – a very preppy college – and found myself in a sea of pink and green with nothing to wear! (I have shared the story of how my darling mother bought me several fair isle sweaters in various colors while on my first break from school freshman year. I returned with my sweaters and wore them a few times before leaving them in the closet for good and embracing my true style). Moving on in life, with each new setting, with each transition, the need to fit in is a tempting pull.
But the beauty of growing up and finding your way is identifying when you know yourself and your style. And even though you may feel unsure entering a new environment, you eventually realize that your individual style is what will help you feel stronger – on your own. When I walked through this beautiful town on the beach I wanted very much to treat myself to a piece of clothing – something that would always remind me of being on holiday. But I couldn't find it. Everything looked the same to me and though the style of the town was lovely – it wasn't mine. I didn't want to look like everyone else; I wanted to look like me. So I left the beach having bought nothing, wearing my tried-and-true jean shorts with a tee, and the last favorite article of clothing I bought on summer holiday a few years ago: my black dress.

More than 400 friends attended a thanksgiving and celebration for the life and work of Harriet Rowlands at Beaumont School on Sunday.
Mrs Rowlands was a Drama and English teacher at Beaumont School until her retirement in July 2013. She took her own life in January after a 'brief and unexpected' severe depressive illness, a coroner ruled last month.
The programme reflected the extraordinary breadth of Mrs Rowlands' professional, personal and artistic interests. Former students, Rob Welling and Dom Hyams, spoke of her enduring loyalty and commitment to her students which had profoundly influenced their own lives and so many other Beaumont students.
Colleagues and students, past and present, performed a number of Mrs Rowlands' favourite songs. There was also a re-enactment of scenes from the 2012 school production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', the final play directed by Mrs Rowlands' before her retirement.
Gabor Ney, a professional accompanist and lifelong friend, travelled from Hungary to play Rhapsody in B Minor by Brahms.
A memorable finale comprised a rendering of Lean on Me and the Teddy's Bears' Picnic.
Harriet's husband, Councillor Anthony Rowlands said: "It was profoundly moving to hear the thoughts of young people Harriet supported as a teacher and to witness their hugely talented musical and dramatic performances.
"It reminds us as a family of that old Jewish saying that a person finally dies when people no longer remember them. With so many young people participating, this was especially poignant."
Councillor Rowlands' added the family are deeply grateful to everyone at Beaumont School for making the celebration possible.
The continuing collection for Youth Talks in memory of Mrs Rowlands' has now raised nearly £5,000.

The various pictures of heavily-clad women — many carrying small children and boarding buses — following a weekend raid on a polygamous compound in Eldorado, Texas, has spotlighted again the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Days Saints, especially its female members.
As authorities try to unravel what could be the country's largest child abuse case in the nation's history, some wonder how and why women in the cloistered community led by the jailed polygamist leader Warren Jeffs were silent for so long.
More then 400 women have been evacuated from the compound after officials got a phone call from a female member claiming sexual misconduct.
The women spend much of their days caring for children on the compound's 1,700 acres. The women till gardens, quilt and often were forced to marry while still in their teens. The main compound is concentrated along the Arizona-Utah line but several enclaves have been built elsewhere, according to The Associated Press.
Former members said it's the power of persuasion and control that keeps the women captive.
"He is their God. He's told these people, 'I am Jesus Christ,'" said former church member Flora Jeffs, speaking about Warren Jeffs' control.
The isolation of the group, which broke off from the Mormon church after it refused church demands to ban polygamy, shows in the members' attire. Women wear hand-sewn garments, their extremely long hair pinned up in braids, and don ankle-length dresses, as if from another century.
Jeffs, who was convicted of being an accomplice to rape, had strict rules when it came to his followers.
He allowed no television, radio or Internet access. Even laughter was forbidden.
"He said, 'No children's books with animals doing people things. Nature is OK. Disney is not,'" said former member Lori Chatwin, who left the group four years ago.
However, he did allow iPods, which people could use to listen to hours of his sermons, and his control extended beyond what people could read, see and wear. He also controlled who married whom and, he claimed, who got to go to heaven.
Women who don't like the rules are told to "keep sweet."
"Keep sweet, it's exactly that. No matter what, it's a matter of life and death. You don't ask why. You don't do anything except do what you're told," said former member Pam Black, who was married as a teenager while she was in the sect.
Even with those rules, many women remain loyal to Jeffs.
"I have a right to worship any damn thing I want; wear any damn clothes I want," said one female follower.
That type of fervent support for Jeffs and his church may make it difficult for Texas authorities to crack the code of silence among the women who were taught to distrust the outside world, even those who voluntarily left the ranch.
"Everything that they've been taught as members of this group is going to stand in the way of their being moved by the authorities to be helpful," said Bryn Mawr College social psychology professor Clark McCauley.

People Behind Bars
Free them, now
By Gideon Levy
If I were, heaven forbid, the father of a soldier who had been abducted to Lebanon or Gaza, I would bitterly raise my voice as loud as possible and tell the government: Free prisoners, now. The parents of the abducted soldiers have so far refrained from making such a public demand. Instead, they have focused their protests against lifting the siege of Lebanon. Only this weekend did they finally issue a call for negotiations with Hezbollah. In their pain, they cannot be judged, but they can be told the following: Neither war nor sieges will free your children. The only way to free them is to free many Lebanese and Palestinian prisoners.
Does Noam Shalit, father of Gilad, think the bombing of bridges and the power station in Gaza advanced the release of his son in any way, or does he know it caused only more suffering and hatred? Does Shlomo Goldwasser, father of Udi, believe the destruction and siege of Lebanon will bring about the release of his son? The tens of thousands of demonstrators who gathered in Rabin Square a few days ago should also be asked: What exactly do you want? To sound off emotionally but uselessly, or to bring about the release of the boys? They, too, should have made the resolute demand for the release of prisoners. Israel must decide which way it is going. Either it announces it will not conduct negotiations for the release of prisoners, as the prime minister did with much bravado when the war broke out, and then every soldier and Hebrew mother will know that if, heaven forbid, a soldier falls into captivity, the state will abandon him to their sighs; or they'll know the state will do everything to get an abducted soldier back. "Everything" means paying a price. There is no other way.
The Ron Arad affair should have taught us another important lesson: Move quickly. Those who don't want another faded film in another 20 years should act immediately. What can be achieved now might not be possible in another few months. The Lebanese movie about the abductees broadcast last week held a mirror up to Israeli society. Suddenly it was possible to see that there are anxious and loving parents on both sides of the border. Not only in Israel do the families weep, but also in Lebanon and the occupied territories, and with the same terrible pain. There are abductees from both sides. We and they both use the same methods to try to free the boys. Hezbollah and Hamas abducted Israeli soldiers, Israel abducted Lebanese civilians. Hassan Nasrallah said in the movie that kidnapping the soldiers at Har Dov was the only way left to him to bring about the return of the abducted Lebanese. What other route did he have? Israel abducted, Hezbollah abducted, both hid information about the fate of the abductees. The vicious cycle must be broken.
Israel also cannot announce it won't negotiate and at the same time abduct 15 Lebanese civilians or half a Palestinian government and a quarter of its parliament. If it won't negotiate, why does it conduct abductions? And if Israel will negotiate, why not frankly say so and conduct negotiations quickly and with flexibility? If the Lebanese civilians were not abducted to serve as bargaining cards, which anyway did not work, maybe soldiers Omar Suwad, Adi Avitan and Benny Avraham wouldn't have been abducted. And if Samir Kuntar had been released from prison in an earlier deal, after 27 years in an Israeli prison, maybe Hezbollah would not have kidnapped Goldwasser and Eldad Regev. These questions must be answered honestly and courageously, instead of with bravado and bragging.
The issue of the security prisoners is not supposed to come up only in the context of freeing the abducted soldiers. Israel has long had an interest in freeing them. More than 9,000 Palestinians are in Israeli jails nowadays; it is a nightmarish number. Anyone who knows the Shin Bet security service and the military justice system can safely assume a significant proportion of them are imprisoned for no reason. Israeli society doesn't even ask why so many are jailed. Some 750 of them have been held in prison without trial for months and years as administrative detainees, a scandal unto itself. The number of minors is also nightmarish: some 300 boys and youths, about half of whom have never been put on trial. A democratic society cannot exist if it denies freedom to so many prisoners, whose main fault was that they fought the occupation with the means used to fight occupations everywhere, including by us in the past. In the eyes of many in the world, at least some of them are rightly considered political prisoners. What are the imprisoned Palestinian parliamentarians if not political prisoners? But this is not only a matter of values. It is also a matter of interests. A prisoner release could provide a breath of fresh air.
There is hardly a family in the territories that has not had one of its sons in prison, and it is difficult to describe how such a battered society would respond to such an Israeli gesture. It would not be considered weakness, but the generosity of the occupiers. Does anyone understand what kind of dizzying political change could develop from the release of Marwan Barghouti, for example? There is no step that could change the atmosphere as quickly as the release of prisoners. Therefore, it is time to demand the government free many prisoners, as part of the negotiations and even as a unilateral gesture. Our sons will return home, their sons will return home, and if we show some generosity, maybe we can turn over a new leaf and raise some hope in this land.

The implementation of the Gothenburg Person-Centred Care framework (The GPCC framework) has been explored since 2013, in a collaboration between The University of Exeter and the University of Gothenburg research centres GPCC and the LET studio have.
The aim of this seminar is to present the findings of a two year study of 7 GPCC projects, and initiate a discussion with GPCC researchers and collaborators. We will briefly present the results of our 3 published papers and our 3 as yet unpublished papers, to provide an overview of the project as a whole. We hope to stimulate a lively discussion with the GPCC community about the transferability of our findings and their implications. The issues raised by our research include the role of the person¿s goals, barriers and facilitators to PCC, shared decision making, the documentation of narratives, and the translation of the central GPCC model into different healthcare and community settings. We will use case examples from everyday encounters in order to deepen our understanding of central elements of the GPCC framework: narrative, partnership and documentation.
Our seminar is based on the PCC synthesis study, a collaborative effort between researchers from the University of Exeter and the University of Gothenburg. The PCC synthesis study has interviewed over fifty-five patients, healthcare professionals and researchers who have all worked with the Gothenburg Person-Centred Care framework.
The seminar is open for everyone interested in co-creating more knowledge within the field of PCC and shared decision making, and we especially welcome patients, relatives and practicing healthcare professionals. The seminar will be held in English under the leadership of Professor Nicky Britten, Exeter University.
The research team has published 3 out of 6 articles in high impact journals, of which 2 are open access. The group is planning to publish a further 3 articles exploring patients' perspectives in 2017.

|Reviews for Bellissima
| lisyaoranlover chapter 1 . 5/21/2005
| Linda chapter 1 . 2/24/2005
I thank god that you are back! I had almost given up ET until I read your story and then I fell in love all over again.
I am speechless and amazingly happy for you. This piece shows how much you have matured in your writing. It is just lyrical. You should really be proud of yourself.
It seems that love has done you wonders. The arc has taken a life of its own.
Wishing you the best and always a fan of yours,
| lifesend chapter 1 . 2/17/2005
Yes! Finally another Eriol/Tomoyo fanfic by you, it's about time! I like the story a lot, since I've been hoping you'd continue this series. A suggestion on your formatting though, it looks like you have the point of view change from Eriol's side to Tomoyo, (i.e., scenes taking place at Eriol's house to Tomoyo's house), might it be better if you had a dotted line in between so people won't do a double take? On the other hand, it's ok without any indication. and one compliant: it's too short! I've been waiting years for this you've got to write more! Lastly, thanks for an enjoyable story!
| Larcenist chapter 1 . 11/28/2004
This review had been delayed for three months. (Bows down) Forgive me...
I love the way you bring the life out of this fic and the same goes for the others.
I'm looking forward to the next. :)
| wicherwill chapter 1 . 10/25/2004
Now you have to hurry and get the next installment up. And the next. AND THE NEXT!
I like how Tomoyo was not wearing 'purple/navy blue/sapphire/black that brought out the purple/nacy blue/sapphire/black in her eyes'. But that's just frivolous; I love your writing style too.
Bring your life's magic here.
Continue soon!
| what used to be meemee chapter 1 . 9/20/2004
Uwah~! (and other mad incoherent garble.)
I love you onee-chan.
| Fsenia chapter 1 . 9/15/2004
I think my heart did a somersault of PURE, GUSHING JOY when I saw this. *Sobs* There's not enough good ET fics! *wails...*
Ahem. Do hope you write more though. )
| Pensieve000 chapter 1 . 9/14/2004
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! (applauds)
Oh...electricity! I liked how that was used to describe Eriol and Tomoyo's feelings.
Whee! She likes him! She musn't deny it! X3
Such a nice flashback. Beautifully described. And an ExT moment to add on top of it! Hooray! X3
I hope you have more boring days-more fantastic ExT fanfics! X3
| not applicable chapter 1 . 9/14/2004
I'm glad you have started to write again and I am happy for you that you are in love. It was a lovely thing to read, so thank you for writing it. I hope for you to continue.
| KyteAura chapter 1 . 9/13/2004
Hey Ekai-chan! Thanks for the dedication - You should put this up for the ET Community just in case people still actually go there -.-;
Anyway loved it. Missed you in ET fandom like heck.

GET THE LOOK: Wax Jackets, Red Wing Boots, Nude Fedoras and Other Early 1900s Inspired American Men's Style
We've edited the videos to include links to more easily get the looks. Watch below:
As the season shifts from chilly fall to frosty winter, it's natural to want to stay warm indoors. While this reaction to cold weather is logical, it can be pretty bad for the midsection. I mean, it's called a "winter body" for a reason. Nike's #GetOutHere campaign is the solution for these excuses. It encourages people to brave the cold with their new gear that keeps you both warm and dry while training outdoors.
We were lucky enough to head to Chicago to train with Nike and use some of the new gear first-hand. We got to try the Nike Pro Hyperwarm Compression tights, the Nike Pro Hyperwarm fitted top, and the Nike Therma-Sphere Max Training Jacket.
The Nike Pro Hyperwarm Compression tights and Nike Pro Hyperwarm fitted top are made with breathable Dri-Fit Max fabric and thermal mesh that wicks away sweat and keeps you warm. Trust me, they both did their jobs while we were battling the wind chill factor in the Windy City. But my personal favorite piece of training gear was the Nike Therma-Sphere Max Training Jacket. Its slim fit and stretch fabric let you move freely, and its Thermal Dri-Fit fabric wicks sweat. The lightweight 3-layer composite fabric keeps you warm while the DWR (durable water resistant) finish keeps you dry in rainy conditions.
Since this is The Urban Gent, style and function go hand-in-hand. Nike is known worldwide for providing both quality and style, and the products from this collection don't disappoint. Offering different color ways, I'm sure you'll find something that fits your personal style. So get some dope new gear, and #GetOutHere. After all, summer bodies are made in winter.
By Chike Ibezue for The Urban Gent
Hey TUG Family we recently had a feature in American Express's new online magazine – AMEX ESSENTIALS. Check out our fashion and style contribution to their December Issue, here.
The Urban Gent x Jeffrey Rudes
Lately we've been prepping you for the cold weather – a couple of Fall looks to sport with your dog, our favorite scenic sweaters, and of course, a declaration that one of our chosen sweater material. We were sent a beautiful luxurious camel hair and wool sweater from designer Jeffrey Rüdes, who has just opened a store at 57 Greene Street in SoHo, New York.
The new flagship store
Iconic denim designer – Jeffrey Rudes
Jeffery was the creator of J BRAND – a premium denim brand. He sold J BRAND in 2014 to start his new namesake brand – Jeffrey Rüdes. And although he's no longer singularly in the denim business, his new line is meant to compliment it. A nice pair of jeans can accompany many pieces in his collection. You don't have to, of course, but you can and you'll look good doing it. So naturally, that is what we did with our Rüdes winter knit.
Perfect fit and very soft
An ivory crew neck sweater is the perfect winter neutral. With dark skin it'll beautifully contrast, with paler skin it'll beautifully blend – almost like a nude. Both perfect palettes for this winter season. Get this winter staple, here.
We paired our ivory wool and camel hair sweater with dark gray denim and brown tasseled loafers. This gave us an elegant, mature, neutral palette. The sweater would also look great if paired with matching ivory jeans and black velvet loafers -or- straight fit blue denim and your favorite pair of classic white kicks. How would you wear it?

What a weekend! We celebrated our daughter's first birthday on Sunday and I have finally had the chance to upload some of the photos from her special day!
The party theme and decor colors were pink and lime green polka dots with a mod monkey design. Everything came together just as I imagined 😉
Welcome Signs
My biggest worry for the day was the chance of rain since we were planning on having it outside. Luckily, it didn't rain but we ended up with a hot and humid afternoon.
Table Centerpieces
Outside Table Centerpieces
Happy Birthday Pennant
A Happy Birthday pennant in matching decor colors hung in the dining room with all of the food and desserts.
First Year Photo Banner
Each month with a baby picture
I wanted to display Grace each month and see how she has changed over one year. I first thought about putting her monthly photo in small frames and putting them on a side table but came up with this idea that saved a lot of space. Each photo was cut into a circle and the month numbers used the same design from the welcome sign. I connected each one with matching brown ribbon and hung it from one of our mantle shelves in the living room. I received so many compliments on it that day!
The Mod Monkey Edible Cupcake Toppers are NOW available on our website to purchase! Choose from PINK, GREEN or BLUE. The edible toppers are sold by the dozen and are $9/dozen.
Cupcakes on Stand with Giant Cupcake Smash Cake
Giant Cupcake on the Cupcake Stand
For the main centerpiece on the table I made a 3 tier cupcake stand with Grace's giant cupcake smash cake on top and standard cupcakes for the guests on the lower tiers. This cupcake stand was created with soup cans, cake rounds, wrapping paper, and ribbon! Saved a lot of money and barely took anytime to put together. I can use the stand again or I can change the color of the each tier by wrapping it in different paper! The cupcakes featured an array of toppers: edible cupcake toppers, printables and fondant decorations.
Giant Cupcake Smash Cake
As for the giant cupcake smash cake, Grace LOVED it! I used the giant cupcake pan that bakes the cake in 2 separate pieces and then you put them together with frosting. I originally was going to cover the bottom with fondant but to be honest…ran out of time so I had to think of something quick and easier to make the base of the cupcake look clean. So I took some white chocolate chips, melted them in the microwave and added green candy dye. I took the cake pan to use as a mold and coated the cupcake bottom section with 2 layers of chocolate …let it harden in the refrigerator for 30 minutes and popped it out. I had to shave down the actual cake bottom to fit into the chocolate mold. Then I added the pink frosting with some chocolate sprinkles!
…and the finished giant cupcake smash cake!
Birthday Girl with Her Cake!
Grace was not shy at all to dig into her cake 😉
What a great weekend! A lot of work but definitely worth it.
Until tomorrow, have a sweet night!

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
First post, hoping you can help! I have long been in recovery for anorexia, and running is something I have missed. I have started running once or wtice a week again, ensuring that I adequately replace the calories lost, but am finding my muscles aching and it to be quite tiring. I am wondering if you know of any good strength and muscle building exercises for runners, that will help my running, and make me stronger and healthier generally. Obviously I know that the more muscle I have, the more I will have to eat to replace the calories lost!
Hi Francesca,
Well done for getting to this point... you must be progressing well. Unfortunately it is hard for MOST people to comment.
Normally, we say that the best way to gain strength for running, is by running! Just starting very slow. Most runners have a danger of getting shin splints if they build up the mileage a bit quickly... and if your anorexia left your bones a little low in density, then you could be vulnerable, so I'm sure you need to be really careful. Probably a bit of time on cycling machines and rowing machines (low impact), could be a good way of building some muscle... but if you do, you have to be doubly careful of bone damage when running - because you'll be feeling quite fit and capable, and end up doing more than your bones are ready for! But I guess that with exercise and careful running, you bone density will increase along with your muscle strength.
I think the bottom line is that you MUST get some professional advice on this - I'm sure you already have had some such opinions. Hopefully you'll find one or two people on here who've been through something similar and you can share experiences.
I just typed the word 'anorexia' into the search function at the top of the page, and came up with 208 results, so if you haven't browsed through some of those old threads yet, then that might be worthwhile... there must be at least one of them that's relevant to you!
Good luck - and as I said.. well done.

Suspect in shooting of police officer identified
There is new information coming out from the shooting of a Phoenix Police officer on Wednesday.
The officer was shot several times during a traffic stop; he survived, but police say he's facing a long road to recovery.
The 40-year-old officer has been an officer for eight years; his identity hasn't been released.
Wednesday's traffic stop started like any other, but it ended with the officer being shot in the hip, arm, and chest. Now authorities say that officer may never get movement back in his hand.
26-year-old Michael Rogers faced a judge Thursday; he's accused of shooting the officer three times during the traffic stop and then speeding off. The motive, according to court documents he didn't want to go to jail. Rogers reportedly had an outstanding warrant for shoplifting.
The officer's injuries were read aloud in court. "His bicep was shattered, and is currently unable to move his fingers and is expected to have an extensive recovery period."
Phoenix Police say Rogers license plate led them to his apartment where they saw another man leaving with a backpack and black box. That person, when interviewed, admitted that he and his girlfriend were inside the car during the shooting and that Rogers was at the couple's apartment just one block away from the crime scene.
Court documents say that person told police he was picking up money and drugs for Roger's planned getaway. Rogers was hiding out inside the apartment for about 12 hours, where he watched the news and found out the officer survived.
A neighbor took video as officers closed in on Rogers.
"When he did come out they handcuffed him and politely took him to the car, and that was it," said Jim Nelms.
Rogers now faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and unlawful flight from law enforcement. The judge set a bond at $1 million.

Hi Eveyone,
You're friendly sleep deprived IT Manager here.
I've been working with several of you over the course of the last few days to try to identify some rhyme and reason to the issues that we've had reported. It's led us to a few interesting discoveries, but first I want to thank you all for helping us identify the issues. They've been a real challenge to identify, and so far we've actually found at least three causes.
As of tonight at about 2:00 AM CST (GMT -6) we've implemented fixes for two of the three issues we've identified. I'm hopeful that this will alleviate many of the issues, and we have another fix scheduled to deploy by next Tuesday or so that will further improve the response times some of you have seen.
These are not guaranteed to fix everyones issues though. If I've found three causes over the last four days I don't see why there can't be three more (by the gods I hope I'm wrong, I need more sleep!). If you continue to experience issues with timeouts happening for a few seconds or minutes at a time please drop a note here. The info I need the most when identifying the issues are:
* Your IP on the Internet (www.whatismyip.com if you're unsure)
* What site or sites you where trying to access
* The timeframe of the issues, including timezone or GMT offset
* Trace routes
* Whether you're behind a large NAT, like a college, large office building, or a ipv6 to ipv4 tunnel (if you don't know what I'm talking about just answer as best you can, I'm sleep deprived and need your help!)
If you're not comfortable providing all this information publicly please send me a PM, or have one of the moderators help put us in contact over IRC, Email and or Skype.
Thanks again for all the help and here's hoping things are at least partially fixed.
Works great again for me(Netherlands) keep up the great work and get some sleep
Whatever you did, you fixed it for me. It's almost working better than before now.
Same here, no issues at all today so your fix seems to have done the trick.
Thanks for the feedback guys. Please let me know if there's any more issues.
MMO-champion always loads with some hiccups for me. My browsers freeze at times. and i get time-outs during the rush hours.
I tried chrome, mozzila and IE. It did not occur that much on chrome, but mozzila once stopped working. IE, i never touch that one anymore
tl;dr: loads slow, with hiccups/freezes.
and to be very honest, It started during the fresh Curse era. Don't know if you guys know why...

Yes, it loads very slow for me, and sometimes even takes too long to respond and is canceled.
I believe the slow load issues are unrelated to the timeouts we've seen. We have some work scheduled for Saturday morning that I think might help it for some people.
Could I get you two to post trace rotues today and new ones after the work Saturday? It'd be a great help for me to continue to diagnose.

Construction teams have been working for months building their partnerships in order to chase contracts to build the Nashville's new downtown convention center, the largest construction project in the state's history.
The contract is valued at $338 million for just the convention center and bids for construction management services are due Wednesday.
Who wins will depend partly on minority participation in the teams.
The goal is 20 percent participation for small, women-owned and minority-owned businesses. But it's not just about participation. The teams will be scored on their qualifications and experience across the board and that includes the minority partners.
"It depends how they are used in the job and what their experience is," said Phil Ryan, executive director of the Metropolitan Housing and Development Agency, on evaluating the minority partners on the teams.
In the case of the major minority partners in the three teams expected to bid, the experience varies from none to highly experienced. With one, Pinnacle Construction Partners, the construction industry has been buzzing because of who is involved. The founders lack construction experience but do have political influence, prompting questions of conflict of interest.
New partnerships
Darrell Freeman, founder of Zycron Inc. and chairman of the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, formed the company with entrepreneur Michael Carter and teamed with Skanska and American Constructors to vie for the convention center work.
As Chamber chair, Freeman played a major role in pitching the need for the convention center.
Each of the teams intending to bid on the project has spent the past year building their partnerships and recruiting minority subcontractors they can use should they win, each employing a different philosophy.
"Our objective was to get people on our team who have built stuff," said Steve Campbell, director of business development at Bell & Associates Construction. Bell is teamed with Bethesda, Md.-based Clark Construction Group.
Their minority partner is a different partnership of three minority-owned companies. Harmony consists of Nashville-based firms Don Hardin Group, Hermosa Companies and Knoxville-based East Tennessee Mechanical Contractors. These companies and teamed up before the convention center was an option.
"We've worked projects together for years," Hardin said.
They decided to construct an office building and be the tenants and pay rent to themselves, he said.
East Tennessee Mechanical Contractors has done work at Oak Ridge. Hardin has been involved with construction at Nissan in Smyrna and in Mississippi. Hermosa has been involved with the construction of medical office buildings.
"These guys have a pretty significant role in our group," Campbell said.
Indianapolis-based Hunt Construction teamed with Nashville-based Hardaway Construction and took a different approach to minority partners in the team.
Hunt landed Atlanta-based H.J. Russell & Co., the largest minority contractor in the Southeast. In Nashville, Hunt brought in SRS Inc. of Gallatin.
"Our goal was to find four companies in Nashville that together were the size of SRS," said Bill Palmer, vice president of business development for Hunt. "We couldn't find it."
SRS isn't just along for the ride either.
"Everyone has a stake in the game," Palmer said.
All of the partners are bonded and have risk.
SRS expects to do $40 million business this year. Most of its construction management work has been with Fort Campbell but also has done work for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Corps of Engineers and Metro.
For its team, Skanska created a minority partner company from scratch by working with Freeman and Carter.
"We thought about who large minority contractors are in the Southeast region," said Joe Hatch, co-chief operating officer of Skanska.
Hatch said H.J. Russell was the only one and that Nashville needs a large, capable minority contractor. H.J. Russell has teamed with Indianapolis-based Hunt Construction and Hardaway Construction of Nashville.
"Nashville, Tennessee is ready for a company along those lines," he said of H.J. Russell.
Hatch said he knew Freeman and Carter from non-profit work and chose to bring them together on the company.
"I know Darrell Freeman and Michael Carter don't have an ounce of construction experience," Hatch said.
He said when he met with Freeman and Carter, he told them, "This is not a free ride."
They have to contribute and work, Hatch said, adding that there have been monthly meetings in the chase.
Pinnacle hired an experienced construction industry veteran in Dale Randels Jr., who had previously been a vice president with Heery International and overseen $6 billion in commercial construction, mostly building schools.
Hatch said he and American Constructors helped review the candidates for Pinnacle's chief executive officer.
Music City Center conflicts
Hatch conceded his group did consider the issue of a possible conflict of interest concerning Freeman and the conventions center project.
Freeman is in his second term as chairman of the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, one of the most active participants in the Music City Center Coalition — the group that lobbied Metro and state government for the convention center project.
Hatch said they had talked about it and that Freeman talked to business and city leaders about whether would be. Hatch said Freeman was told it wouldn't be a conflict.
"We were cautious about it," he said, adding. "We are not surprised that people are wondering about it and thinking about it."
Recently, the partnership involving Freeman submitted an unsolicited query letter to MDHA suggesting the city award a different contract for one company to be the overall developer of the convention center, an adjacent hotel and other ancillary developments.
Freeman said the effort was not an attempt to wield influence.
"We're a community of volunteers," Freeman said. "…We are not trying to bring that to bear on this process. To think we could influence that would be stupid of us."
Getting over the fear
Going beyond the experience of the minority partners with the general contractors, each of the teams has been holding recruiting sessions with various potential small, women-owned and minority-owned businesses.
Hunt's Palmer said it's important with projects the size of the convention center help bring the subcontractors up and show them how to improve their business so they have more experience to chase future projects.
Joe Shaw with SRS said a lot of the subcontractors live check-to-check and struggle with cash flow. That is where the general contractors can help by showing the subs how to bid and how to improve accounting, Shaw said.
"That knowledge will help them get over their fear," he said.
Government tends to use public building projects to boost the local economy through helping minority contractors get work.
"The convention center will benefit a lot of smaller homegrown companies that we work with," Hardin said.
That can be a challenge, said Kirk Huddleston, director of corporate and community development for Knoxville-based Blaine Construction, which isn't chasing the convention center work and may go after the expansion at Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center.
Huddleston is on the Knoxville Airport Authority. He said the airport tries to hit the goals of more diversity business enterprise but falls short.
"Sometimes it gets a little disheartening," he said. "It's hard to fit all the pieces together."
But he was in Nashville for he pre-bid conference on construction management services and said the room was half filled by small, women-owned or minority owned businesses.
"There were some sharp folks in there," he said.
Anyone who thinks this city needs a new convention center at this particular time should not be considered "sharp"
Frank,what do you base that information on? I just spent a week with the CVB in Dallas going to a variety of different sales calls trying to attract meetings and conventions to come to Nashville. Guess how many of those parties are seriously considering either Gaylord or the new MCC? Before you ask It si not an either or situation but believe it or not many WANT to come downtown.
They are talking like this is a done deal. Does it not need council approval to spend that kind of money or are they going to wait until they can tell us its to late to stop it?
Its done. They are already getting inquiries on the current convention center property.
The resolution passed by the Metro Council set the wheels in motion and allowed for expediture of funds collected by the Hotel/Motel tax be used to begin infrastucture and prep work on the site. The bids are due this week from architecural firms interested in this project and there whould be a dicision made by the end of next month.
The Freeman/Carter partnership with Skanska just does not pass the smell test. Freeman is much too politically involved to be accountable to a third party with a third of a billion of the taxpayers' dollars.
All these debts will bury us as a city that is a nice place to live.We will become another detroit occupied by the homeless,illegals and welfare recipiants.
"The largest construction project in the state's history
I notice producer2 said 'Gaylord OR the new MCC'. Which brings up the question; Why are the taxpayers giving a corporation that has more than maxed out its welcome at the trough more money to help them compete with the city facility? Wake up everyone. This thing is a bad joke that may really happen. Directly or indirectly everyone in the state will end up on the hook to pay for the gross misuse of funds this funding plan represents.
Correction T4T...it is (not may) going to happen. I hate it, but the wheels are turning.
The wheels have been turning now for months....as per the politicos.
I talked to my council lady last week & asked why the convention center couldn't be privately funded.I informed her convention centers are a loosing proposition & don't pay for themselves.She told me the new portion of the motel hotel tax will pay for it & that the old convention center paid it's self off a couple of years ago including the renovations.I am having a hard time believing the tax will pay for the project & it's upkeep.
To misquote Yogi Berra, "It ain't over 'til the fat Chamber guys stuff money into their pockets". But it is hard to stop a steamroller when those who have access to politicians are fueling it, and the sound of their spin drowns out the voices of citizens.
I just don't trust Freeman, the man who lobbied for this thing and who wants his company (Pinnacle Construction) to run it. I'm sure that he would also push for Zychron to supply the IT portion."We're a community of volunteers," Freeman said. "…We are not trying to bring that to bear on this process. To think we could influence that would be stupid of us."Right. It's only coincidence that Freeman would profit most handsomely. Oh, by the way, Mr. Freeman is a minority. Point, set, match.
I think it would be cheaper to just pay Freeman a few million to drop the idea. At least we wouldn't be left with a failing convention center and the enormous hole it will generate in operating expenses.
Awesome job, Dragon! Knocked that one right out of the park! Freeman's just loading his pockets on a sure bet since the economy has "slowed".....
Oh well, life goes on with or without Miss Convention Center. I don't think any of us will be taking our last breaths because they build this thing. Besides, I'm still beautiful and that's really all that matters.
This thing is going over a BILLION before its completed.
Are we going to have to put together a guilt program to make it up to all of the minorities who buy into this fiasco and either lose their business or end up with less cash in their pockets than they were promised? The old convention center receives a subsidy every year for operations. To say that the new convention center will be paid totally from the users is nothing but an old Jedi mind trick to fool the weak minded. In 2007, the old convention center was budgeted $3,561,300. $2,155,300 was debt service. The principal has been paid off but I noticed that there is still payment of interest going on in the 08 Metro Budget(?). Even though there is a lot of money generated from the motel tax, estimated at $25 million this year, it is already divided six ways. The convention center had to have tax transfers of $4,264,700 budgeted for the years 06,07,08 to make up for the differences in expenses and income. Total Revenues, including subsidies for the old convention center is only about $6.3 million per year. It takes a yearly revenue stream of $25 million per year for 40 years at a discount rate of 5% to justify an expenditure in the present of $428.9 million dollars. This project needs over 4 times the income(all kinds) that it is currently getting to justify just the cost of the structure. Even though the motel tax produces income to the general fund, nearly $4 million dollars a year, those revenues are not profit. They should reflect the incremental increase in the government costs of coexisting with the burdens of a convention center. When a tourist flushes a toilet or gets arrested for soliciting a prostitute, is the cost to metro different or even less than anyone else? If the yearly cost of public safety, sanitation, transportation and other infrastructure costs associated with the convention center are not met then the taxpayer has to make up the difference. This convention center is a huge financial risk. If it were not for legal loopholes for large population cities, the borrowing for a project this size would be illegal in the state of Tennessee because of the ratio of total debt to the value of property. Even if you pretend that this is a revenue generating project, bonding agencies are free to attribute this debt to a governments general obligation debt. This could degrade the quality of the risk to potential loaners and cost the taxpayer even more money. If that happens everything including schools and other legitimate government operations financed with debt will cost more. This convention center can not be privately funded because it will lose money and the banks and lending organizations know that it is not viable without government money.
I'm excited about the convention center. I hope a beautiful and tall convention center hotel is built as well. I think it would be great for downtown Nashville.
Let's see, 700 mil divided by 25 mil equals 28. So assuming the cost overruns are minimal, the MCC at least breaks even every year, the MCC gets 100 percent of the hotel motel tax applied to its budget and Nashville can secure interest-free loans to build the big turkey, it will only take 28 years to pay it off. Hahahahahahahaha. Clown Jewel indeed!
Producer, people may want to come downtown for a concert, a hockey game, or a meal but how many locals are actually going to hang out at the convention center? Raise your hand if you've actually spent two hours in the current convention center in the last year (not you, producer, we know you work in that business). A dwindling supply of bizgeek yokels with bermuda shorts and black socks will use the place for a few years while producer counts his money. Then as the convention industry fades into the sunset the majority of citizens who will never have set foot in the place will end up paying for it. Twenty years from now- still not paid for- it will be razed to build the needed income producing property and roads that are on the drawing board now, or it will be sold to the Union Mission for ten cents on the dollar to house transients.

In 2014, Maryland voters had several big choices to make. There were statewide races for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and comptroller. Several county executive seats were in play. Every seat in the state legislature was on the ballot, as were Maryland's eight congressional seats. Maryland's two U.S. Senators, however, got a break; neither was up for re-election.
The general election was November 4. Below are stories and interviews related to the 2014 election.

Kevin Christopher Roberts, aka Natty King or the "Man from the East"´s first apperiance in the music industry, was with hits like "Mister Greedy" and "No Guns To Town". Believed to be one of the members of conscious music, he draws his inspiration from reggae pioneers The Wailers, Burning Spear, and his personal role model Luciano.
It was in 2002 when Natty King recorded "No Guns to Town" on the Two-Miles label, which took off like a rocket sitting at the top of numerous reggae charts nationally and overseas. His follow up single "Mr. Greedy" on Insight Records also went No.1 on the local charts. Incidentally, "No Guns To Town" and "Mister Greedy" videos were also No.1 on the Video Chart in Jamaica.
Since his emergence, Natty King has graced the stage of Sting 2003, East Fest 2003 & 2004 Rebel Salute & Dancehall JamJam. Also Western Consciousness and Red Stripe Reggae Sumfest all held in 2004. In all these shows Natty King showed the world that he had indeed arrived.
He was voted number one rural artiste for 2003, in Jamaica, he also copped the 2003 award in the Best New Entertainer category at the 23rd International Reggae and Word Music Award (IRAWMA) in Manhattan, New York, as well as the Jamaica 2003 Jamaica Federation Music Award (JFM) for Best New Singer.
After this massive success in jamaica, Natty King started touring the world (mainly US and europe). He has attended on several major reggae festivals incl. Rototom Sunsplash in Italy, Upsalla Reggae Festival in Sweden, JahSound Festival in France, Reggaejam in Germany, The Sierra Nevada World Music Festival & the Bob Marley Festival (CA) in the US and many many others.
Since late 2007 Natty King has been constantly working on his second album together with executive producer Lennart Tacke and the Label "House of Riddim" from Austria.
After touring in europe with the House of Riddim Band in 2008 & 2009, the recording of the Album moved on to it´s final stages.
This new Album (and just the second official one from Natty King over all) is loaded with cultural one drop reggae and statements from Natty King about our society & his struggles in daily life.
The Album includes 16 Tracks, featuring colaborations with "The Original Gangalee" Louie Culture, another artist from the East of Jamaica (Parish Portland) and the current Mega-Star Fantan Mojah on the song "Herb from the Westside".
The first single "Real Herbalist" (Released in 2008) was a major success in europe and now the world is waiting for more from "The Man from the East" - Natty King!!!
The 2nd & 3rd single of the album (both releases in 2009) are "The Truth" (produced by House of Riddim) and "Purge Dem" (by Bassrunner Productions), a tune that is currently burning up the dancehalls worldwide as part of the Prison Break Selection.
From you love quality cultural roots reggae, you will love the album from this young emerging rastafarian singer outta Jamaica.
