SHIPPING: Most items in this sale are available for shipping and noted if NOT. We prefer to use the USPS Flat Rate Box/Quick Ship System - if the item you want shipped fits into one of the USPS boxes and you live in the contiguous 48 states. This system includes tracking and insurance up to $50.00. If the item is over $50.00 we will add the required insurance to protect your item and add it to your invoice. Please be aware that in addition to the actual Flat Rate Box System shipping cost there is a minimal $5.00 per box packing fee. Realize that with any labor related costs, it is not unusual for shipping to cost more than the item - many times much more. Consider as you are bidding the actual value you will receive when you get an item at a really good price, that even with shipping, you won a treasure at a good value.
However, if you really want to bid on an item and would need that item shipped by another means, we may be able to assist. Please contact our office to discuss shipping possibilities. We will coordinate with you prior to shipping to determine costs. Shipping costs – including packing fees, will be charged to your credit card before shipping occurs. We require shipped items to be insured, but you can opt out. If you choose to save those costs, we require signatured written confirmation of your understanding there will be no guarantees of any kind with that shipment other than we will do our best to get it to you safely.
Please provide a telephone number and mailing address for your credit card for verification and protection. We will call you within 48 hours to get your credit card information. Do NOT email us your card number. Once paid in full and all shipping information is verified, shipments will leave our premises within 48 hours unless otherwise noted on your invoice. We will maintain all the tracking information in the unlikely event you need it.
DAMAGED GOODS: If an item is damaged, please contact us ASAP. We will need photos of the damaged goods to begin the USPS claim. Text photos to: Kelli at 502-500-7760, so she can start the claim. You will then need to take them to your local post office for verification and surrender the items. Be sure to get a receipt for the items, send us a copy and keep the original for your records. The claim can only be the dollar amount of what you paid per item. If there are multiple items in the same box but only one broke - you only get paid for the one. So if you won a set of 5 perfume bottles for $5.00, your claim could only be for $1.00. It doesn't matter if you were lucky and napped a Lalique perfume bottle in the lot, with an actually worth of $50.00, you will still only recover $1.00 from the USPS. Shipping fees and charges are nonrefundable.
TERMS & CONDITIONS: For answers to questions regarding this sale contact MLS Estate Sales, a division of Renaissance By Design, LLC. Our goal is to make this sale an experience that you will enjoy.
MAILING LIST: By bidding on any item in our sale, the bidder permits us to add them to our email mailing list. Bidders may opt out of any future emails by following the instructions in any mailing.

Picnic at Hanging Rock
What we see and what we seem are but a dream... a dream within a dream.
Picnic at Hanging Rock is one of the first Australian films to break through to an international audience, and it is also one of director Peter Weir's earliest and most important works. Weir would later go on to direct such giants as The Year of Living Dangerously, Dead Poet's Society, and The Truman Show. Picnic at Hanging Rock, mysterious and dream-like, confusing and open-ended, provides a glimpse of this prolific director's early vision.Continue Reading

Amazon Women: On the Front Lines of Grassroots Climate Leadership
Above: Amazon women clash with riot police during a protest against the Federal Government and the resolution about oil exploitation on October 17 2013 in Quito, Ecuador. Credit: Edu Leon/LatinContent/Getty Images
Women activists and leaders have been at the core of the environmental movement since its inception
Women have organized and battled for centuries to win basic rights, to be treated with respect and equality. Meanwhile, patriarchal institutions driven by the thirst for power, accumulation, and economic growth have fought hard to maintain their seat at the top of the social and political hierarchy. Indeed, our current political and economic institutions are overwhelmingly led by men. Of 196 nations in the world, only 17 have women as elected heads of state. Women CEOs make up only 4.2 percent of Fortune 500 companies.
However, women are also uniquely capable of shifting the way the world operates in fundamental ways. Indeed, women activists and leaders have been at the core of the environmental movement since it's inception. From Rachel Carson to Vandana Shiva, from suffrage to climate talks, women have pushed the boundaries of what is possible, and what is just, in our society. This is true not just in the world of activism and social justice. Research suggests that governments and corporations with women at the helm are more profitable, efficient, inclusive, and environmentally minded than those run by men. Women today are fighting against all odds in a climate of resistance, and winning.
Cindy Rosenthal, in her book When Women Lead, suggests that women use strategies that have an "integrative style: sharing power and empowering others, being noncompetitive and inclusive, seeking consensus and mutuality in relationships, and inviting participation rather than imposing dominance." Women in positions of leadership have also been shown to be more concerned with environmental risk, and less willing to impose those risks on others. This suggests that as women's rights are advanced, and as they gain further access to higher levels of power in society, environmental and social concerns may be more thoroughly addressed in our civil institutions.
In others words, women in leadership positions who are working for environmental and social justice are not only reshaping our world by addressing the issues, they're also fundamentally changing the terrain of our institutions by introducing more effective leadership qualities, and by shifting and transforming our systems from the inside out.
This is true of high-profile women leaders like Maggie Fox, former Deputy Director of the Sierra Club, and now president and CEO of the Climate Reality Project, as well as Francis Beineke, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council, who was appointed by President Obama to the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling. Beineke has worked with the NRDC to protect marine ecosystems from oil and gas development for more than 30 years.
Another example is the Hon. Marina Silva, who served as Brazil's Minister of Environment from 2003 to 2008. Raised as one of 12 siblings in an Indigenous Amazonian rubber tapping family, Silva is deeply committed to liberation theology, environmental protection, sustainable development, and non-violence. She was responsible for drastic measures to protect the Amazon, and has been credited with reducing deforestation in Brazil up to 60 percent.
In addition to these high-level examples, there are many women leaders building movements at the grassroots level. As an activist working on Latin American Indigenous rights issues, I have been particularly inspired by the work of Atossa Soltani, founder and executive director of Oakland-based nonprofit Amazon Watch. Last September, Soltani was honored as the Hillary Institute's 2013 Global Laureate for her leadership in climate equity. I had the opportunity to interview her recently.
Atossa Soltani left Iran at the age of 13, having just witnessed a few scattered street protests erupt into a full-blown mass uprising in a matter of months. Seeing the power of collective action had a deep impact on her. She moved to the United States to live with her uncle and immediately began to pursue a path of activism.
For the last 20 years, she has been working in partnership with forest communities in Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia, leading campaigns that have resulted in numerous groundbreaking victories for Indigenous rights and forest protection. Amazon Watch has played an important role in amplifying Indigenous voices on cultural survival and environmental issues.
Soltani recognizes the importance of her work in the Amazon for women's issues as well. "The violence that's perpetuated in rape, and violence against women in general, is rooted in the same mindset that you see in our industrial societies attempt to conquer and tame nature. In contrast most Indigenous cultures see the Earth as the mother deserving reverence and respect."
In her work with Indigenous Amazonian communities, Soltani has found that the Indigenous governance structures of representation, much like the Islamic ones she witnessed in her youth, have historically been male-dominated, and that traditional gender roles tended to restrict the role of women to family and community affairs. However, over the last 20 years, she has also seen a significant rise in the number of women leaders of grassroots indigenous movements in the Amazon as large scale forest destruction hits close to home threatening the food security, health and livelihoods of their families. Soltani noted, "Indigenous women are a growing voice on the national and international stage. And, the majority of forest protection NGOs and movements in the Amazon basin are either founded by or increasingly led by women."
Some women leaders, like Mayalu Txucarramãe of Brazil's Kayapo Waura people, have been the first to openly represent their tribe on the international stage. Txucarramãe is organizing the Kayapo youth against the massively destructive Belo Monte Dam on the Xingu River. Others have been leading various local efforts with a focus on women's and children's rights, and the preservation of the forest.
Patricia Gualinga, an indigenous leader of the Kichwa people of Sarayaku, helped organize an Indigenous women-led march last October where several hundred women from seven different tribes marched, along with their babies, children and husbands, 300 miles from the Amazon to confront the government over the licensing of oil blocks. Their message was: "We can't feed our children oil. We have to defend life."
While nonprofits and Indigenous peoples alike are working to defend their communities and ecosystems, not all women leaders are working on behalf of the environment. Brazil's president Dilma Rousseff is notorious for her anti-environmental, pro-industry track record, and her commitment to what will likely become the third largest dam in the world, the Belo Monte "monster dam".
So much more than a battle between genders, the shifting face of leadership today is a reflection of two competing worldviews: one that sees dollar signs in nature, and one that sees life.

I suck at being the bad guy in video games. I always get all invested, and then I'm hardly ever able to commit to being evil. But for some reason, Infamous 2 has become that game that's made it so much fun for me to be bad–-and I have those annoying guys that drum on pails to thank.
When the game industry heard the complaint that most game stories were two-dimensional, overly linear and generally crummy, they implemented a pretty creative solution: Make games that let players decide which kind of character they want to inhabit, and what that character's story should be.
Most of the time, "player choice" is implemented by giving you the option to be good or evil – and in the past, the lack of nuance has been a source of humor for longtime gamers: Would you like to murder these ailing orphans, or give them your basket of kittens?
Fortunately, developers continue to pioneer ways to let us customize our experiences and see the consequences of our actions, which is lots of fun. Right, player choice and blah blah blah. I write about this stuff, all critically and whatever. And whenever I'm presented with a moral spectrum game, I get tangled up in my own train of thought. I'm busy analyzing my emotional impact, I'm gazing into the eyes of NPCs and trying to feel something.
There is one exception in my past: When I played the first BioShock, I decided to try to test out what the pre-release hype had promised: That the world of Rapture would call me to account for the decisions I made within it. I harvested all the Little Sisters in part because I considered it some kind of critical obligation, to experience and measure for discussion in my writing later.
I ended up being rewarded: I think the narrative works best that way. The infamous plot twist wherein your character gets his comeuppance in the form of a lesson in free will hits harder if you've been ruthless and reckless. But after that point, it's too late to redeem yourself, disappointingly—in my view, one of BioShock's few failings.
That experience reinforced my hesitance to be bad. BioShock's "good ending" is much better than the others, and I had to watch it on YouTube and hear about it from all my friends, bereft of the satisfaction of having gotten it myself. Since then I've struggled tepidly for moral middle ground, paralyzed by indecision. During Fallout 3, I marveled at all of the options I was given, the subtlety of the choices I could make, and yet half the time, in conversation with NPCs, I sat still, controller in hand, staring at a dialogue screen, agonizing over what I should do. What would I do? What would I want my character to do? What should I write about it later? Do normal people overthink things this much? Is this supposed to be fun?
I never played the first Infamous. I can't recall what else was out at the time it launched; I just remember there was too much, as there always seems to be too much. But I know all my friends loved it, so when the second one came around, I decided I should take it for a spin.
And true to thoughtful, considerate form, I immediately wanted to empathize with the people in this sympathetic setting, this ravaged New Marais. Half-flooded and full of destitute, frightened people, it bears more than a passing resemblance to post-Katrina New Orleans, from its lively jazz clubs and outdoor cafes to more sinister omens.The city is hazy with poverty. Anti-government vigilantes and criminals try to exploit the instability. Police are short of resources. The threat is not a natural disaster, but a looming supernatural force called "the Beast."
Yet New Marais' population is still begging for salvation in the face of ruin, while news broadcasts warn of failing tourism and a dearth of governmental support. There's even a bright-lit locale called the "Yes We Can-Can Club", perhaps a subtle reference to the positive national revival President Obama's election campaign promised on the heels of a Katrina-marred Bush era.
These are the first things I noticed about Infamous 2, aside from the cool powers, the fantastic environment design and how good it simply feels to control Cole McGrath. I was inclined to empathize with the poor city. But since Sucker Punch gave me game design that made me feel like I had super-powers at my fingertips, I decided that I was going to cause some mass destruction, dammit. I wanted to be a bad guy, for once.
My goal very quickly foundered. The natural response to the inequities the game presents is to want to help. For example, what to do but try to help people in a suffering region under the martial law of hick purists who'll shoot at anything that looks weird? I felt vindicated when I saved citizens from muggers, I wanted to play "correctly," not make "mistakes," not hurt anyone I didn't have to. Very quickly, I started to become a Good Cole, just by virtue of doing things that came naturally to me. The idea of concussing this wounded little city any more than it'd already been felt repellent.
I felt depressed. Why do so many video games make me uncomfortable with their violent destruction, I wondered? I've never been able to be one of those people who says "it's only a game." And why should I? This is the most powerful medium of the 21st century. It's not a toy. It's long bothered me that people can spend hours upon hours pretending to be soldiers, splattering the native populations and one another all over gameworlds that look just like real-world warzones. That isn't fun to me; games can give us the power to do anything, and yet all we want to do is wreck and kill stuff. "Who cheers for war," I once wondered, in a past Kotaku column.
So as much as I wanted to experience all of the wild, destructive fun that Infamous 2 seemed to promise, the best I could muster was a tepid neutrality. Which is, of course, the only way not to play this game – if you want to get to do everything there is, gain a full slate of powers, you've got to pick one side or the other. There's no joy in the middle road.
And then, a breakthrough. The game gave me the opportunity to zap something I really don't like: Street performers. Those effing guys that bang on pails, those halfhearted, talentless saxophone noodlers, and those damn people pretending to be statues.
. I like independent musicians. If you follow me on Twitter, I probably talk about music just as much as I do games. But here's the thing: If you want to try to make some extra cash busking, or even if you want to try to make your living that way? Please know how to play an instrument. Be a little bit good at it. The acoustics in the subway station are such that if you are going to just wail on a couple of some buckets endlessly with some sticks, I can't even hear my headphones. You people drive me crazy. If you are in need and you have no other options, please just hold out a cup for me to put some change in and spare me your goddamn toneless noise. Oh, yeah, and the "I wear body paint and pretend to be a statue" thing? It's been done. Like, a million times. Everyone has seen it. If you want to be an artist DO SOMETHING ELSE.
Do I sound a little heated? Sorry, I just played like five hours of Infamous 2 as Outlaw Cole and it gets my adrenaline up. So yeah, anyway. When I saw that poor New Marais was under threat of a seemingly-endless supply of identical badly dressed hippie jerk street performers, I had to do something. I started zapping those asshats. I started laughing. I started racking up bad karma. And I started loving it.
Many hours later–-I've lost count–-I'm doing great at being bad. It took that one moment of personal connection to remind myself that, even though I've got high hopes for the medium of games and I want to speak to them through my work, once in a while it's all right not to take myself, or games, so seriously. Now that I can throw a truck at a helicopter–-or, hey, at another truck or car or taxi or person or building or whatever just for fun—I realize I'd forgotten that games have another incredible power: To help me zone out and decompress.
And, y'know, I guess once in a while it's okay if that's all I'm doing. These aren't real cops I'm divebombing for Ionic Charges. And (unfortunately) these aren't real crappy street performers I'm chasing down the street with red-lightning retribution. Because I am having a royal flippin' blast, and I can't stop playing. Damn, it's good to be bad.

Much like sunscreen, business insurance is one of those things you don't realize how important it is until you've been burned: A lot of entrepreneurs don't have it, and those who do, may not be fully covered.
While large corporations have staffers specifically trained to be sure the business is protected adequately, small business owners are often not aware of the risks their business faces.
"Smaller businesses tend not to get the right amount of coverage," says Loretta Worters, vice president of the Insurance Information Institute, an industry trade group that aims to educate the public about insurance. "They will get too little or not the right coverage."
Here, three of the most common mistakes to avoid when deciding on business insurance.
1. You view insurance as one-size-fits-all. Think again. There are four basic types of insurance that all businesses need, according to Worters. Property insurance protects the building that your business is housed in and the inventory, raw materials and computers that you own. Liability insurance protects you against lawsuits. Business vehicle insurance covers any autos owned by the business. Finally, in every state except Texas, a business with employees must have workers compensation insurance should an employee be injured on the job.
Related: Do You Need a Full-Timer, Contractor or Outsourced Help?
In addition, every industry has its own specific risks and your business may require a specialized policy. "You need to get an agent that understands your line of business," says Worters, noting that you should talk to an agent before just signing up with one. Ask a local business group or association for a recommendation.
2. You think you're covered by another policy. "The biggest mistake [business owners] make is they assume they don't need coverage," says Ted Devine, CEO of Dallas-based Insureon, an online small-business insurance agency. He says business owners often falsely believe their company is covered by their client's policy or they're no longer at risk when a client leaves. Not true, according to Devine. A client can come back and sue you years after an event or transaction occurs, he warns.
And don't think your homeowner's policy will bail you out, either. Even if you have a home-based business, a homeowner's policy won't protect it should you get into any legal issues with employees or business litigation. Whether the homeowners' policy will protect your business property in your home depends on the policy, says Devine.
Related: Does Your Home Business Need Insurance?
3. You think you're invincible. Worters says many businesses don't even consider what is called either business income or business interruption insurance. If a natural disaster hits, for example, and your business closes, your revenue can be immediately shut off for an undetermined amount of time, and that can really threaten the life of your business.

If you would like someone with whom to share this foot washing, you may either invite a friend to join you or please call Claudia Sowler (269-471-3134) for arrangements. Why not make this foot washing a part of your Friday evening worship as we gather across this community to welcome the Lord of the Sabbath into our homes at sundown?
Then Sabbath morning through music, prayer, the reading, and preaching of the Word ("American Apocalypse: How to Train Your Dragon—By the Blood of the Lamb") let's throw wide our hearts to the Christ we love to worship. "Do this in remembrance of Me" (Luke 22:19).
The 4th Quarter Lesson Study Guides are ready for you to pick up at the church office during regular business hours.

Thank you to all those who helped in any way to promote and support our July 23 Red Cross Blood Drive. That includes the Pioneer pastors and staff and especially the Pioneer Safety Committee who helped us establish COVID-related safety protocols and procedures with the Red Cross for the drive. Thank you to those who recruited someone to give, promoted the drive, helped set up, take down, register participants and
provide refreshments after donations. And, a SUPER SPECIAL THANK YOU to those that Gave The Gift Of Life by donating precious blood. We had one of our most successful summer blood drives ever despite the COVID virus (or, maybe because of the COVID virus). Less people away at camp meetings and traveling and vacationing? Just a hunch. Our next blood drive is scheduled for October 20, 2020 and again on February 24, 2021. Be well and God Bless! -Larry Ulery
Over the summer and fall of 2019 Pioneer underwent significant physical renovation—including a new roof and a major Sanctuary makeover. During the same time congregation leaders engaged in multiple conversations about our missional renovation—how does a faith community like Pioneer seriously engage and impact the people around us for Christ? From this dialogue emerged a fresh new expression of our Pioneer mission: "Love on the Move."

Wang Jian, a Chinese farmer who worked at a garage for more than a decade, built himself a replica of a Lamborghini Reventon using parts from a second-hand Nissan and a Santana, Reuters reports.
The self-made roadster cost Wang around 60,000 RMB ($9,450) and can reach a maximum speed of 160mph, according to local media reports.
With a list price of $1.6 million, the Lamborghini Reventon was named one of the world's most expensive cars by Supercars.org.
A man in China says his homemade replica of a Lamborghini 2007 Reventon that cost under $10,000 to build, "Drives like a dream." NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.

If you're catching up on our recaps, click here for Marsha's favorite bags and here for her favorite health & wellness items. I (Lindsay) will be attending a show in Dallas this week, so we will have even more ideas to share in the weeks to come. Heeere's Marsha!
I pay attention to children's items, as all grandparents should, so this is a fun product category for me. My granddaughter (that's my sweetie in the above photo) and I are "girlfriends"; we watch movies together, play games, and share new clothes and jewelry. She is only three years old, yet she notices when I have on a new pair of shoes. Really?! I have another grandchild on the way, this time a boy (!!), so I will have to start paying more attention to sports.
Here are some new kid-friendly products:
I love the entire Paws N Claws line of animal-themed lunch bags, coolers, storage cubes and backpacks.
Evenflo brand baby bottles are available for custom imprinting.
This pacifier has a cap to keep the mouthpiece clean when it's buried at the bottom of your purse or diaper bag.
Silicone bibs are so durable and easy to clean. I love the crumb-catching pocket too.
These Magic Art Scratchers and Magic Paint Posters are perfect kid activities for a doctor's office or restaurant. No mess!

Irondale Youth Hockey Association
Board Meeting: Thursday, November 20, 2008 at 6:30 p.m.
at the New Brighton Family Service Center, New Brighton, MN.
Address: IYHA, PO Box 120114, New Brighton, MN 55112 Website: www.iyhaleague.org
From President (Tom Lucarelli):
Hi again,
We are about a month and a half into the season. By now, most of the teams have played a few games or scrimmages and coaches are busy evaluating our teams and adjusting practices to keep your Knight's progress on track. Remember our youth program is focused on developing your hockey players.
Encourage your son or daughter to watch a hockey game on TV; watch the offensive, defensive and neutral zone play. You can pick up a lot of good hockey tips that can be applied to your practices and games. Knowing your position both on the offensive and defensive side of the puck is crucial to the success of any team.
Hopefully by the next newsletter, we can get our teams on outdoor ice for pick-up games. The Thanksgiving tournament is just around the corner. Good luck to the teams participating – represent the Association well both on and off the ice.
Reminder - all fundraising activities must be approved by the fundraising committee. We want to avoid teams either duplicating or calling on the same businesses.
See you at the rink,
From Web Master (Torri Johnson):
Website News:
1) Game Results - Watch for game updates along the right hand side of the home page as they come in. Any game that is run by a referee is recorded as a game result. This includes District 1, District 2, and District 3 games, Tournament results, and Game Scrimmages. Controlled scrimmages run by coaches are not recorded, nor are Initiation Festivals.
2) Game write-ups – If the team manager submitted a synopsis of the game, a pencil mark will show next to the game result on the home page. Click on the pencil to see the game write-up.
3) Standings - To see the standings of all the teams (IYHA teams only), go to Our Teams along the top bar and Standings. You will need to choose either Boys or Girls to see the overall standings for those teams.
4) Statistics – To see the overall statistics for the Boys or Girls divisions, go to Our Teams/statistics. Only the statistics for the teams that choose to record them will show in this area. Click on Division Top 20 to see the overall totals for the division.
5) Master Schedule changes – you may notice a new icon in the Master Schedule. It is an official's whistle. In addition, you may notice information in red/yellow/green in the official's column. The Bantam A team is testing this feature to reserve game volunteer positions (such as timekeeper, scorekeeper, and penalty box) although it is showing up for all teams. Don't be alarmed since you cannot use this feature yet for your team. No matter what you click on, this will not be available to you yet. Once the testing is done, we may roll it out to other teams if it proves to be useful. Stay tuned.
6) Because of the testing of the official's (game volunteer) features, the Officials Area button along the left hand side now requires a sign-on. The information that was there previously is also available in other areas. The Game Clock Simulator is available on the Hey Coach page and the Hockey Parents/Hockey Mom's page. The Hockey Penalties overview is located in the Hockey Parents page.
Jackie Rog resigned her board position as IYHA Ice Commissioner on November 2nd.

Board Members Present: Jean Aukee, Monica Crandall, Theresa Spiering, Jackie Rog, Chris Drews, Mike Nundahl, Tom Johnson, Mark Rupp, Jeanne Falconer and Bob Gabler
Board Members Absent: None
Guests: Ashley Crandall, Dave Larson, Tim Fredberg, Paul Dulin, Lena Anderson (mite parent) and Torri Johnson
Minutes: Motion to accept board meeting minutes as presented (CD) (MN); all accepted; motion carried.
Old Business:
A. Election Process – Chris Drews – see handout – see notes on handout – Chris will update – Jackie moved to table document, Bob seconded, all approved, motion carried.
B. Display Case at SSR – Mike Nundahl – Mike was supposed to have researched glass prices, that didn't happen, he has a question – is there a dollar amount limit for glass? IYHA has moneys not budgeted for like Pancake Breakfast $1500 or Torri J Xcel volunteer donation – Chris moved to approve a maximum of $500 for glass for the display case at SSR, Jeanne second, all approved, motion carried.
New Business:
A. Website Update – Torri – see handout – Torri documented what the process has been so far – clarification on club sponsors vs team sponsors – (Paul's comments for item E added at this point.) Paul - should there be a certain dollar amount that a team sponsor could give that would warrant them being a club sponsor? No per Torri's documentation. Paul also wanted clarification on club vs team sponsors and how items are placed on the website. Provided with Torri's documentation.
Chris comment regarding why the 5 pull tab sites are listed as sponsors? Bob suggestion – dollar amount levels determine who gets what website placement. Chris – should the fundraising committee decide on these possible dollar amount levels? All sponsors are currently on the sponsorship page. Torri's document doesn't need to be approved – just a procedural document.
B. IYHA Sweatshirts – Torri – another option for apparel – hockey mom from Tartan who currently does hockey mom sweatshirts – Torri brought samples of what she could do – Irondale Hockey with gold lace - $45 plus $10 extra with name on back – Jackets with Irondale Hockey – logo and name - $45 – something teams could do individually – Irondale Knights hockey blanket – mawsdesigns.com – she does apparel for WBL, Tartan etc – OK for Torri to post her products on the website and Mike's item will still expire at the end of October.
a. Chris Drews piggy back proposal – warm up suits for the kids – name on back of jacket and on pants – black and white - $65 each if 20 or more ordered – idea for next year – possibly present at registration or online – he got them at Dave's.
b. Another option is to build apparel into registration costs – We need something at an association level that is not team level – too much different apparel for players – Bob moves that for next season we pick a consistent warm up suit for all IYHA traveling players (if teams choose to have a warm up suit) – design and vendor will be chosen by the board, CD second, all approved, motion carried. It will be offered to players at registration – discussion ensued – mandate? – cheap form of advertising – finalize details later.
C. Bantams – Jim Cich – see handouts – Jim read his handout – discussion about Dave Larson's son - they still had the option to go back to Bloomington Jefferson – they would have taken Ben back – they had 2 teams and only one goalie. Per Dave BJ does a good job coaching goalies. Discussion ensued. Other kids on other teams were not called and found out what team they were on from school mates – totally inexcusable. Jim would like their registration fee returned (291.50) and to still get refunded for the goalie clinic ($100) that Adam already attended. Their volunteer deposit will also be returned. Mark made a motion to refund what Jim has requested and he extended an apology to Jim and Adam. All should understand this is a limited exception because of the extreme case of this situation – JF second, all approved, Jean abstained, motion carried.
D. Addition to registration form re tryouts – Paul Dulin – this is not aimed to be derogatory to anyone in the assn – this proposal is for the betterment of the assn – Paul would like a board member to make a motion to add an item to the registration document that reads by signing this document, I acknowledge that the results of the tryout process are non-negotiable, non-debatable and final. Jeanne suggestion that the new board in May of next year take action on this. Tim F – need bubble kid or two because the evaluators don't know the kids. Chris - issue with process presented 3 hours before first tryout and some of the language in the tryout process document. Jackie – because we are paying evaluators people should be able to see the numbers and know where their kids ended up. Plus goalies need to know what the process is to evaluate them. There should be a signed document at the first tryout that you will agree with the process. IYHA has stuck to the tryout process that was used this year. There is a note in the tryout process about bubble kids who will be selected by coaches but were no bubble kids this year.
E. Sponsors on the website – Paul Dulin – this was done during Torri's item A above.
Board Roundtable:
President: Tom Lucarelli. – Tom would like to work on the tryout process – this year he received the most calls ever. ACE Coordinator – he put an ad out via the newsletter – 2 expressed an interest – Mark is already doing some of these task so he will continue – Tom has appointed Mark Rupp as ACE Coordinator. Bylaws state Edison can tryout 2008 and 2009 season – need to extend it for next year – someone remember to do next year – policy is only for 2 years and started last season – Jean will put on the agenda for January of next year. Be careful when combine practices between 2 levels (i.e. squirts and pee wees) – skating drills can be done together – other things can't – be careful mixing contact drills with others.
Vice President: Monica Crandall. – few coaches and parents spoke with Monica about the 12 hours for volunteer program – traveling spouse, little one at home, they have time restrictions and don't think they can fulfill their hours – OK if it is a family member – grandparent or aunt or uncle – can other parents donate their time to another kid? Sure - OK with board. But the person doing the work needs to log the hours on behalf of the family not working. And the person can only "donate" extra hours over and above the 12 they had already fulfilled with the only exception that they can only donate to 1 other family. Have all paid the volunteer deposit? Per Jeanne all but one or two. Tournament committee has met – things going well with MV – a lot coming together quickly – still have girls teams tournament slots to fill in January – will be meeting weekly. Make it Big Photos – proposal for dates sent from Karen Franke – Jean will forward the email to all. Managers/Treasurers Meeting – October 28th 7:00 SSR – allow 50 people.
Secretary: Jean Aukee. – Reminder that input for the newsletter is due on the 1st of each month. If you don't have anything, please reply to Jean's email saying that. If you have a written report that can be emailed to Jean for the minutes, please do so. Thanks.
Treasurer: Theresa Spiering. – reports will be emailed to board members – one bounced check is being worked on.
Boys Program Coordinator: Mark Rupp. – tryouts completed – fairest tryouts in years – couple hiccups – 30 plus pullovers still missing – some returned in poor condition – please take care of our gear – teams formed and practices on their way – coaches manual completed and copies made – will it be on the website? – yes per Mark – coaches meeting – Saturday and Wednesday meetings coming up – levels of play – 32 bantams – lost 2 kids – A and B (C changed via advisory committee), 45 peewees a b c, 43 squirts a b c – all teams registered for tournaments – 2 teams not in our tournaments because of changes – Chris would like to be informed about changes to team levels so he is in the loop with District 1 and District 2, we are supposed to ask permission to change levels, Jackie only found out because of email sent to all bantam parents, Tom L called Tom M asap to ensure OK.
Tryouts – Tryouts are completed and we have been told these were the fairest tryouts they have seen in years. Did we have a couple of hiccups, yes, but those have been ironed out and we are looking forward to an awesome season. We are still missing over 30 pullovers from tryouts. Those must be turned in to the head coach of your team.
Teams - Teams are formed and practices are well underway. We have awesome coaches at every level.
Coaching Manual - The coaching manuals have been for the most part distributed to just about all coaches on the boy's side. I have copies tonight for the board members who want one. Some of you already have a copy.
Coaches pre-season meeting - Because of circumstances beyond my control, the pre-season meeting did not happen before the start of the year. However, we will be having two scheduled meetings, one this Saturday October 25th and the other will be next Wednesday October 29th. Coaches will be expected to attend one of these two meetings. We are waiting for confirmation of a meeting location before an official notice will be going out.
Boys Levels of play – We have talked about this at length, but an update along with registration numbers would seem to be helpful. At the Bantam level we have 32 kids registered and playing. Unfortunately we lost a couple of great kids who decided not to play. One thing to note concerning our Bantams is the level of play. An argument was made to my advisory committee post try outs to change from a "C" level to a "B2" level. This made sense so we agreed to the change. The Pee Wee group has maintained 45 kids we are fielding teams at the A/B/C levels. The Squirts have 42 total kids, which is up a net 3 from the initial registration numbers. Again we are fielding teams at the A/B/C levels. Overall we have 119 boys from Squirts through Bantams on our teams.
Tournaments –All our teams are registered for tournaments which have been paid and spots secured. Our Bantam B2 team and Squirt B teams are on wait lists for our own tournament in November. This is due in large part to the change in level, and the timing of when we added the 3rd Squirt team. Teams at the Squirt level will be participating in 3 tournaments, while the teams at Peewees and above will be participating in 4 tournaments.
Girls Program Coordinator: Mike Nundahl. – 10Us and 12Us completed game scheduling – still working on 14Us – coaches meeting coming up regarding player movement within girls program – tournaments finalized – one possible more with 14Us – 8Us starting this weekend – recruit your friends.
Initiation Program Coordinator: Bob Gabler. – 78 kids in initiation – registered – could be even more – up from last year – thanks to recruitment via parades, Let's Try Hockey etc – going away from A B C and mini's – may be color coordinated – head coaches are identified and has list of assistant coaches – managers meeting will be next week – jerseys and socks will be handed out – Mike, Jackie and Bob – how work in U8s? "A" mites may practice with the squirt level on occasion – bring U8s in with other mite levels – do when have 2 hours – gold, white, black and maroon is an option.
District Representative: Chris Drews. – gave ACE coordinator stuff to Mark – can be copied and distributed – 2 MN hockey books – SSR and Shoreview – D1 scheduling will be Saturday all day – Jackie will be there. CEP – level 1 certification is this Sunday October 26th from 8:00 to 2:00, level 2 is November 2 from 8:00 to 5:00 and level 3 is November 9 from 8:00 to 5:00. All will be at Concordia College. Register at usahockey.com. If full call or email Chris. Managers meetings - Nov 5th 7:00 Arlington HS – See Chris's hand written notes – USA team hired to do clinics – issue in past with scheduling games on Fridays and Saturdays and referees – if we schedule a game on a Saturday afternoon – we need to get DIST1 waiver and then can get other referees – Nov 10th will be voted on. Chris needs to do a financial review with District. Bob? Are the borders at the rinks ours to use – SSR and Shoreview – yes, share with MV at both sites.
Ice Commissioner: Jackie Rog. – list of people to call from DIST3 – per Tom L. Tom M – list of lower level squirts – will bring to scheduling meeting – we are paying all the fees – ice and referees etc – would another tournament be a better solution?
Registration Coordinator: Jeanne Falconer. – need screening forms from all board members – 3 outstanding – only one family without volunteer deposit – doesn't include families that haven't paid at all – handful of kids involved – book signing won't be done my Manager/Treasurer meeting – some forms still missing – total registered is about 252. Credit card update – check PO box.
Equipment Manager: Tom Johnson. – half of socks and jerseys handed out – please wash jerseys before they are returned – Dave's equipment that was given out for free needs to be returned to IYHA for use with other kids in future years.
Standing Reports:
Player and Coach Development: Mark Rupp. – members of player development committee meeting regularly – posted on website – coaches instructions – should be out on Fridays – A and B mites joining skills clinics – posted on website – next 3 Mondays.
The members of the Player and coach development committee (Jeff Opperman, chair, Jeff Martin, Mike Nundahl, Mark Hentges, Mike Martinjako, Tadd Tuomie, Bob Gabler, and I) have met on a regular basis and the skills sessions are off and running, with 3 so far. For each session, the format and content has been posted on the website for coaches to review ahead of time. This has been received positively by our coaches.
Lake Region: Theresa Spiering. – per Jeanne F – we got money - $4000 payable to the Coliseum – LR pulled out of Our Bar and Grill – not profitable – Moe's will be starting a meat raffle on Friday nights.
Fundraising Committee: Monica Crandall. – Calendar proposal – Sell for $20 - $10 cost of calendar & $10 for assn – kids sell but not door to door – parents help out – sell to extended family – could we make our own & would they sell better? Chris contact Kevin Bourassa to see if he could make them – Chris will get back to Monica asap so she can get back to the fundraising committee.

Inspector Ian Rutledge Mysteries
Main description:
Scotland Yard's Ian Rutledge must contend with two dangerous enemies in this latest mystery in the New York Times bestselling series
London, summer 1920. An unidentified body appears to have been run down by a motorcar and Ian Rutledge is leading the investigation to uncover what happened. While the signs point to murder, vital questions remain: Who is the victim? And where, exactly, was he killed?
One small clue leads Rutledge to a firm built by two families, famous for producing and selling the world's best Madeira wine. Lewis French, the current head of the English enterprise, is missing. But is he the dead man?
The experienced Rutledge knows that suspicion and circumstantial evidence are not proof of guilt, and he's going to keep digging for answers. But that perseverance will pit him against his supervisor, the new acting chief superintendent. When Rutledge discovers a link to an incident in the French family's past, the superintendent dismisses it, claiming the information isn't vital. He's determined to place the blame on one of French's women despite Rutledge's objections. Alone in a no-man's-land rife with mystery and danger, Rutledge must tread very carefully, for someone has decided that he, too, must die so that a cruel justice can take its course.
Review quote:
"There's a grand design to Charles Todd's period novels featuring Inspector Ian Rutledge....elegant mysteries."

UPDATE (9/23/2011): A link to the Project "Crescent" Demo video has now been added and featured on the "Crescent" wiki page in the Videos section – Project Crescent Overview.
Last week I presented on What's New with BI in SQL Server Denali (SQL11) at the Minnesota BI User Group Q3 meeting with Jin Cho from Microsoft. Granted that in only an hour and a half we couldn't do the topic complete justice because there is just so much to cover and it helps to provide some demos to showcase the new features and enhancements that have been made. The topics that we covered where going over Analysis Services and PowerPivot, talked about the BI Semantic Model, Columnstore Indexes, Integration Services, Data Quality Services, Reporting Services SharePoint Integration, and "Crescent".
I wish I would have had more time to be able to demo some of the new SSIS items, but I allocated my demo slot to show the new self-service reporting authoring tool Crescent. Each of the topics that we did talk about can easily be their own topic for presentation, so stay tuned for the upcoming MN SQL Saturday event and the next MN Microsoft BI User Group Q4 meeting in December. There will also be a lot of content in regards to this topic at the upcoming PASS 2011 Summit next month that I would highly recommend.
You can download the presentation from my SkyDrive account or you can check out the slides available via SlideShare as well:
I have also setup a video that goes over the "Crescent" demo that I went over during the presentation. I believe that when I switched laptops during the presentation that I did not share the desktop with Live Meeting, so I apologize for that and since this will not be part of the recording I put together a quick video.

When the "Glee" tour hit New York late last month, Matthew Morrison and Jane Lynch – better known as choirmaster Will Schuester and cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester – made a surprise appearance on the Radio City Music Hall stage.
They did some funny shtick, sniping at one another in character. But the actors quickly gave up, all-but drowned out by the seat-shaking roar of thousands of tween and teenage girls who had shrieked relentlessly through the first hour of songs – and saved their most deafening screams for the evening's one attempt at dialogue.
The moment, in a way, summed up the "Glee" phenomena as the show is about to end its first season Tuesday: We love "Glee" as much for the music as for the camp – but sometimes the intensity can be hard to take.
Which also kind of sums up the high school experience, when you think about it.
In retrospect, it was a brilliant idea for Fox to split up the first season, providing a four-month buffer between the first 13 episodes and the final nine.
The show operates on such a high-energy plane of heightened reality that "Glee," at times, can be as exhausting as it is exhilarating.
The stakes are always high, in the ever-changing romantic pairings, in the intramural social clashes – and in the glee club's quest for respect, which comes to a crescendo this week with the underdog McKinley High misfits' challenge to the powerhouse Vocal Adrenaline in the vaunted Regionals competition.
The epic battle caps a second half of the season brimming with highlights that went beyond Sue's hilarious music videos and guest appearances by Olivia Newton John, Neil Patrick Harris and Kristin Chenowith:
•The touching romance between Finn's mom and Kurt's dad, which has left the Glee-mates awkwardly working out how to become brothers.
•Rachel's discovery that her birthmother is Vocal Adrenaline's director – the woman who sent a boy to break her heart and literally leave her with egg on her face.
•The loving relationship between Sue and her sister, who has Down syndrome – a subplot that gave a tad of depth to a character who could be dismissed as a caricature if not for Lynch's consistently note-perfect performance.
Sometimes, though, the show goes by so quickly, the occasional false note can slip by almost unnoticed.
Last week's episode was particularly odd in spots. Will's cruel toying with Sue's affections seemed out of character and out of place. Knocked up blonde cheerleader Quinn equating the stigma of teen pregnancy to racism in a heart-to-heart chat with Mercedes proved borderline offensive. The revelation of Vocal Adrenaline's Achilles' heel – an inability to get funky – felt forced.
But those are quibbles. It would be folly to expect perfection from a daring, larger-than-life show that hits us with outsized laughter, excitement, sadness, musical numbers and even the occasional small, sweet moment.
McKinley High is a place where lives change amid swirling hormones, adults who usually do more harm than good and voices raised in song. And when the rollercoaster ride is finished, too many wasted hours are spent thinking about how to live it all over again.
Just like high school.
We'll find out Tuesday whether "Glee" ends its first season on a high note. No matter how it turns out, we'll have the summer to recover – and pine for the fall.
