End of an era: Clark nears retirement from Antrim Ski Academy
BELLAIRE — Being a part of the Antrim Ski Academy has been a labor of love for Jan Clark.
Clark has been with ASA in one capacity or another since it began 25 years ago. Now, after eight years as ASA's Executive Director, Clark will retire from the program that she dedicated a quarter century of service when this season concludes later this month.
"It's been such a fun experience for me to be involved with Antrim Ski Academy," said Clark. "The number of kids that I've met through the program, or have taught to ski, it's kind of overwhelming when you think about it."

BackgroundFibroadenomas are benign human breast tumors, characterized by proliferation of epithelial and stromal components of the terminal ductal unit. They may grow, regress or remain unchanged, as the hormonal environment of the patient changes. Expression of antigen TF in mucin or mucin-type glycoproteins and of galectin-3 seems to contribute to proliferation and transformations events; their expression has been reported in ductal breast cancer and in aggressive tumors.
FindingsLectin histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence were used to examine the expression and distribution of antigen TF and galectin-3. We used lectins from Arachis hypogaea, Artocarpus integrifolia, and Amaranthus lecuocarpus to evaluate TF expression and a monoclonal antibody to evaluate galectin-3 expression. We used paraffin-embedded blocks from 10 breast tissues diagnosed with fibroadenoma and as control 10 healthy tissue samples. Histochemical and immunofluorescence analysis showed positive expression of galectin-3 in fibroadenoma tissue, mainly in stroma, weak interaction in ducts was observed; whereas, in healthy tissue samples the staining was also weak in ducts. Lectins from A. leucocarpus and A. integrifolia specificaly recognized ducts in healthy breast samples, whereas the lectin from A. hypogaea recognized ducts and stroma. In fibroadenoma tissue, the lectins from A. integrifolia, A. Hypogaea, and A. leucocarpus recognized mainly ducts.
ConclusionsOur results suggest that expression of antigen TF and galectin-3 seems to participate in fibroadenoma development.

The other day Reneca and I were talking about how it is so crazy that the only songs that are running through our heads are kid songs. The only songs that I have sung in a while have been The Wheels on the Bus or Twinkle, Twinkle. In order to keep our sanity it is so important to not lose our identity as far as music goes.
Our lounge tip today is to play your music loud and sing out loud! 🙂 Dig out those old cd's or cassette tapes and play the music you used to enjoy before becoming a Mom. I like to turn on the R&B station on my cable box. Hearing those songs from the 80's and 90's always puts me in a good mood. It does a soul good to dance and sing–letting go of your stress and enjoying the moment! Let us know what your favorite jam is!

Mix one part lemonade with one part iced tea. Serve over ice and garnish with a lemon wedge!

FT.com / World / Middle East & Africa - EU urged to make contact with Hamas: ""Hamas is not the same party it was before the elections," he said, referring to what he said were the group's encouraging but insufficient steps to moderate its stance after it won control of the Palestinian Authority this year.
"We have to be able to talk to anyone who is relevant," he added. "There are many ways of having contact...nobody will start with press conferences and photo opportunities."
[Finland's] Mr Tuomioja is to chair an informal EU foreign ministers' meeting on Friday that is intended to "update" the current international proposals for the Middle East, as well as giving the EU a greater role in the region.
Hamas remains on the EU's official list of proscribed terrorist organisations and the 25-nation bloc has repeatedly declared it would only establish political contacts with the Islamist group if it honoured past agreements, ceased violence and recognised Israel."

SCEL Training
Training at Your Site
In addition to the training offered each year at the Southeastern Center for the Enhancement of Learning (SCEL), the Center offers on site training when requested. The following guidelines apply:
Program Requirements
The curriculum for our on site training just as it is for training at SCEL is Feuerstein's Instrumental Enrichment (IE), which is an intervention program that has been shown to enhance cognitive functioning. In a school setting, IE Standard is designed to be implemented in any three consecutive grade levels (beginning with fourth grade) by offering IE classes for 50-60 minutes twice a week. IE Basic is similarly designed and scheduled for learners ages three through third grade. Teachers must be certified by an Authorized Training Center in order to teach in either IE program.
Training Requirements
When conducted on site, as with training at SCEL, Instrumental Enrichment Standard (IE-S) is separated into three levels for both training and implementation. Training to teach each level requires 45 hours under the direction of a Trainer Certified by the Feuerstein Institute (formerly known as the International Center for the Enhancement of Learning Potential). A typical schedule is for five consecutive days (nine hours each day), but alternative schedules can be arranged. Training in Instrumental Enrichment Basic (IE-B) is conducted in two levels.
Upon request, a certified trainer can be assigned to train from three to ten participants on site at the host institution. If there are more than 10 participants, then a second trainer or an assistant will be assigned.
Training Site
The host institution is responsible for providing a suitable training site. Basic training equipment should be available: Overhead projector, Flip Chart, VCR, etc. The host institution is also asked to designate a coordinator for local arrangements and to provide suitable refreshments for two "breaks" each day. (Some institutions choose to provide a light lunch, but this is optional.)
Training Materials
The host institution is expected to pay for all training materials. Teacher's Manuals and other training materials will be needed for each participant. SCEL will order all materials and will have them delivered to the training site. Payment for materials must be made in advance. Training fees are due upon completion of the training.
Student Materials
The IE curriculum consists of paper and pencil exercises or "Student Pages." Copies of the Student Pages are provided in the Teacher's Manuals for training, but must be purchased for each student for implementation. Student Pages typically are priced from $35 to $45 per student, depending on the level. One level provides the implementation pages for a year's curriculum. Student materials are ordered through SCEL.
Student Pages can be ordered along with training materials when requested. Three weeks should be allowed for delivery on any subsequent orders.
It is strongly recommended that provision for follow-up visits by the trainer during the first year of implementation for each level be included in the initial planning. At least two visits during each school year are needed with quarterly or monthly visits recommended.
Cost of Training at your site
The host institution is expected to pay training fees ($800 per day for a certified trainer for up to ten participants. For more than ten participants, an assistant trainer at $400 per day will be needed.) plus expenses travel, lodging, meals, and transportation to the training site. (The host institution is to provide transportation from lodging to the training site either by providing a car, paying for the rental of a car, or providing "pick up" services, and to pay any parking fees that might be required at the lodging site.) The host institution is also expected to pay for all materials necessary for training. The cost of materials ranges from $100 to $200 per participant.
When training dates are set, and the number of participants determined, SCEL, after conferring with the clients on-site leadership, will submit a tentative budget for the training program. The costs will vary depending on the number of participants, the number of trainers and assistants needed to staff the course(s), transportation distance, and other factors.
After our suggested model for training on your site is adopted, it is essential that funds be budgeted for continuing the program at the institution in the future, according to all five phases of the model we propose for systemic implementation.
SCEL requests payment for onsite training by check or money order. Training costs typically include consulting fees, expenses, and cost of training materials.
Grants for cognitive enrichment programs
Although SCEL is not able to award grants at this time, IE qualifies for funding under a number of government and/or private foundations. It has been approved for Title I funding and is appropriate for "No Child Left Behind" when state guidelines are met. When applying for grants for cognitive enrichment programs, applicants should include funding for all five phases of the systemic implementation model when the program utilizes Feuerstein's IE: (1) Awareness, (2) Teacher training (including stipends and all training materials), (3) Curriculum materials for implementation, (4) Evaluation, including research design and implementation, and (5) The training of trainers for continuation.
Variable costs of other Programs and Seminars
Costs vary for other programs and seminars provided by the Southeastern Center, depending on (1) the type of program, (2) its duration, (3) the training site location, and (4) the number of participants in the program.

There are many fashionable trends when it comes to food, like fad diets, Instagram arrangements, and crazy ways to eat your food (remember the chew each bite ten times before you swallow?). What about ordering your meal using a positive affirmation instead of naming the dish? In San Diego's Little Italy, a couple of restaurants are integrating positive affirmations into the ordering process and I got the opportunity to try them out and see what it's like to say "I am adventurous" instead of saying "I would like the French Toast, please." So, pack your bags as we head to San Diego for some good-positive-vibes vegan eats.

"Can This Relationship be Saved?" So reads the title of the deal with story in the August 15, 2005 problem of BusinessWeek (businessweek.com). The write-up describes the seven-calendar year (1998-2005) story of the merger of Daimler and Chrysler Corporation. As of this composing, the board of the merged companies made a decision to terminate the reign of the existing chairman, Jürgen Schrempp. At the conclusion of this calendar year he will be changed with Dieter Zetsche, the existing head of the firm's operations in North The us. The write-up identifies the adhering to five significant issues struggling with the new chairman:
1. Bettering merchandise quality and worker morale.
2. Securing union aid to attain versatile labor agreements.
three. Impressing on business executives to promote versatile and productive operations in North The us.
4. Creating and executing a additional coherent partnership system in Asia.
five. Addressing trader strain to break up the merger.
The five issues mentioned higher than clearly show that additional persons similar troubles (i.e., social issues) will require to be tackled than technologies issues. The new chairman should embrace a combined-initiative leadership style with a proportionate target on the two the technical and social features of the organization for the business to survive. This leadership style calls for some proficiency in the science of complexity (i.e., the concepts of running the organization as a intricate adaptive method) and the machine metaphor (i.e., the plan features of modern-day organizational lifetime–job descriptions, corporate policies, strategic and operational designs, and many others.)*. Organizational leaders are not able to find the money for to position disproportionate target on the machine metaphor in a intricate organization.
The Machine Metaphor
The machine metaphor normally takes an aim look at of an organization in which the interactions between the things are predictable and controllable. Provided that premise, organizational leaders choose a mechanistic look at of organizational management. The mechanistic look at considers the organization as a mixture of workable factors with organizational charts, job descriptions, policies, operational designs, persons, and many others. The machine metaphor is based on an organizational management perception that efficient management can be realized by running all organizational factors.
The Flawed "Persons Administration" Attitude
In some circumstances, this metaphor is incorrectly used to persons management. In her advice column for the Twentysomethings in the July seventeen, 2005 problem of the Washington Write-up, Profession Observe section, Mary Ellen Slayter wrote about why young industry experts resist the give to transfer to management. "I am not very good at running persons" is the cause furnished by a forty nine-calendar year previous woman for resisting the give. In defending the new Division of Homeland Security's advantage shell out method, Clay Johnson III, the Deputy Director of the Office environment of Administration and Spending budget asserts "The Federal governing administration as a rule is really bad about running persons" (Washington Write-up, Nationwide Information, July 19, 2005).
This frame of mind of persons management is entrenched in our social and organizational techniques. It is quite important for organizational leaders to know that machine handle procedures utilize to items, not persons. Besides for the military services, we regulate items. We lead persons. The purpose of a manager is to deliver a abundant and fulfilling environment to allow employees to do their operate. A human remaining is an agent in an organizational context. This agent's conduct is unpredictable. The agent should interact with other human agents, in a workforce, whose conduct is also unpredictable. The workforce should interact with other teams in a department. Following, we have inter-departmental interactions, which can lead to inter-divisional interactions, and so on. The consequence of the interactions is a intricate organization, which should adapt to its environment to survive, since the organization is a dwelling method. As articulated by Richard T. Pascale, Mark Millemann, and Linda Gioja in their e-book: Browsing the Edge of Chaos, (Random Home, 2000), as a dwelling method, the organization should abide by "the legislation of nature and the new legislation of business".
No matter whether running a corner keep or a world conglomerate, the manager/chief should normally recall that an organization is a socio-technical method and the machine metaphor need to be used only to the technical or machinistic things. To make certain the survival of the corporation, the leaders require to discover and fully grasp people things of the organizations that exhibit unpredictable behaviors, and people things whose behaviors are predictable. They require to learn and utilize the management science of intricate adaptive techniques to the former and machine metaphor to the latter. These two approaches constitute the essence of a combined-initiative standpoint.

In early October we took a field trip with a homeschooling group to the pumpkin patch. Here are some pictures from our day there.
I took this first picture in a hurry because most of the children had picked their pumpkins and it was time to get back on the hay ride. Some friends were near us, but M was in a longstanding Highly Suspicious of New People phase, hence the baleful stare.
Tall kids.
It took a few tries, but we were able to get M to go put her face through one of the openings like big brother and sister.
The kids always love climbing on this tractor.
Another fun farm play structure.
Putting pieces of bark in the truck, one by one. Or maybe she was taking them out.
Figuring out the tire swing.
Not pictured, but there was also an educational pumpkin talk (a homeschooling family runs this farm), a petting zoo visit, and lunch with fresh pumpkin donuts and apple cider. Yum!
It was a lovely day in the country. We've enjoyed going to this pumpkin patch every year for several years now.

Florida Institute of Technology was the first university to develop a program with the Peace Corps that focuses on the environment. Florida Tech's Peace Corps Fellows/USA Program began in 1999 and was originally called the Graduate Environmental Fellows Program (GEFP).
With the expansion of the program and the addition of graduate degree programs in education in 2004, the program became the Graduate Environmental and Teacher Education Fellows Program (GETEFP). While Florida Tech does not distinguish between the programs for admission purposes, the Peace Corps website includes the original Environmental degree programs (GEFP) and newly added Teacher Education degree programs (GTEFP) as two separate Fellows/USA Programs. In 2007, Florida Tech added an M.S. in Meteorology to our program offerings. As the program continues to develop, we hope to expand the number and type of degrees offered.
Download the Peace Corps Fellowship Brochure!
Florida Tech's Graduate Environmental and Teacher Education Fellows/USA Program is a two-year (minimum) program designed for returning Peace Corps volunteers with bachelor's course work and Peace Corps experience in an environmental and/or education-related area. This program offers degrees in four environmental areas (i.e., science, engineering, management and education), as well as five areas of education (i.e., science, mathematics, environmental education and computer/instructional technology education, and teaching). This program combines course work in a selected Master's. or advanced graduate degree program and related internship experience with a partnering institution in the region. Regional partners include federal, state, regional and county environmental agencies; county school districts; private scientific and educational institutions; and conservation organizations. The end-of-program requirement (i.e., M.S.: Thesis, Non-thesis Project, Capstone Design Project, or Internship; Ph.D.: Dissertation) may be completed with a cooperating partner.
All of the master's degree programs available through the fellowship program require a bachelor's degree in a related field, with a GPA of 3.0 or above. Most of the Ph.D. programs require a master's degree in a related field, with a GPA of 3.2 or above, however, the Ph.D. in biology allows students to enter with only a bachelor's degree. Applicants are required to submit the following materials to the Office of Graduate Admissions: a completed application form, official transcripts for all college/university course work, a résumé, a description of service (DOS) from the Peace Corps, a statement of objectives and three letters of recommendation. Most master's and doctoral degree programs also require GRE scores; although none of the education degree programs require this. Admission is competitive.
Past participants have interned with St. Johns River Water Management District, Marine Resources Council, Brevard Zoo, Brevard County's Environmentally Endangered Lands Program and Brevard County Public Schools.
Once you have chosen your degree program, the next step in this process is completing an application for admission. The Office of Graduate Admissions handles all applications. While completing the online application, please select Peace Corps under the "How did you hear about Florida Tech" drop-down menu.
Both fall and spring admission is available to graduate fellows with the exclusion of the biology program, which has a fall start date.

Cooking Projects for March
Cooking Projects for March (post #67242)
Two are chosen, I need one more (edited because I just saw the light!)
1. Granola - I never made it, Phil is the granola maker, but hasn t done it in a long time. I want to try a different recipe, not sure which. Suggestions are more than welcome, of course. I want it to be ZE BEST Granola ever...
2. duck. Recipe not chosen yet, but I am leaning towards one of Barbara Tropp's dishes from Modern Art of Chinese Cooking. She has several tasty looking ones. Confit I've made a couple of times already, so that is out. I want it to be a less "classic" dish. No duck a l'orange, no confit.
3. Potato Rosemary Bread from BBA - to finally use it for pizza, something that I've been meaning to do since the great reviews here

We make Jacques Pepin's Duck with Parsnips and Shallots regularly -- do you have the Jacques & Julia cookbook? If not, here's the recipe:
(The cookbook photo is MUCH more appetizing than my photo!)
(post #67242, reply #2 of 23)
Gosh, it looks great!
now, let me make sure I got this right - you never turn the duck pieces to have the skin up? Or do you turn them after the initial 25 minute browning?
Also, when you buy duck, do you special order it, or get one of those supermarket brands that say "injected with liquid" or "liquid added" - those are the ones I can find easily, and if they work for this recipe, I might go for it

(post #67242, reply #3 of 23)
That is correct -- skin-side-down the whole time.
I buy my duck at Whole Foods, fresh when they have it or frozen otherwise. I've never read the label, but I assume they're not injected with anything. Have you used the liquid-added kind successfully in other recipes?
(post #67242, reply #4 of 23)
I've used them before many many years ago - to tell you the truth, I don t remember which recipe I used then, but it did not turn out very good.
However, I've always been a bit insecure about cooking duck, so maybe the problem was me, not the bird - in Paris I made duck a l'orange, but using excellent duck from the butcher near our house. Here, when I made confit, I bought the duck at the Chinese market. Maybe I should bite the bullet and drive to OKC to get the best duck I can possibly find.

The granolas in FC are pretty good. My favorite is the crispy pecan. There's also a really good one on the Cooking Light web site that uses pineapple juice. However, it is hardly light, especially because I always add extra nuts. I can send you the link if you are interested.
My cooking project for this month (or more) is to use up pantry goods. Boxes of arborio rice, couscous, barley, dried beans of every color and size... My cupboards are overflowing and my freezer is packed solid. I am only going to buy vegetables and dairy at the market until I can clear up some space. Things have gotten out of hand once again :) I need to become a more prudent cook.

I would love to have the link, so I can show Phil and he can pick one recipe for me to make. I don t eat breakfast, maybe will end up having a few tablespoons just to try it, so hubby is the one who will profit from the project... :-)

Here it is: Homemade Granola (has the pineapple juice.) I've also made this Power Granola. It has a nice mix of healthy things in it but isn't quite as crispy as the Crispy Pecan granola from FC or the Homemade from above. I only eat granola in small amounts. My favorite way is spinkled on top of lemon yogurt and blackberries. Mmmmm. I can't believe you don't eat breakfast. How do you manage? Do you snack before lunchtime? I would be out of my mind, crazy with hunger. I have to fast before a 10am physical in the near future and I'm already anxious about it because I know I will be woozy by the time they finally draw my blood.

Thank you so much!
In the morning I have a capuccino very early, and before going to the lab one of those drinkable yogurt, DanActive - I think they have 90 calories
that takes me until lunch time, no need to snack on anything, even if I am going for a run before lunch.
Sometimes I forget to take the DanActive, and I might get a little light headed around noon, but no big deal.

First project done.... Granola!
after much debate and reading of recipes, I decided to go with a recipe from Nigella Lawson.
the stuff is awesome. I might even have some in the morning, it is very very tasty. It calls for one quite exotic ingredient: brown rice syrup.
believe it or not, I found it in a natural food store in town. Could hardly believe my eyes when I saw it on the shelf. Now, of course, it would be nice to find other uses for it... although I imagine I'll be making more of this granola, as my beloved former-hippie husband professed it to be "one of the best I ever had"
coming from him, that is a huge endorsement - he is very picky about granola.
I am a little lazy to type all the recipe, but I found a blog with it.
here we go:

I love candied ginger in granola.
I also find it's best to toast the grains and add the fruits at the end. I toast the nuts separately.

I do it in steps. First the oatmeal for about a half hour. Then the nuts, seeds, honey, apple juice, etc. get added, mixed and baked until nice and brown and crispy. Then the fruits without any more cooking, of course.
(post #67242, reply #12 of 23)
That sounds just right.
Do you use much oil?
(post #67242, reply #23 of 23)
Sorry, just came back to this. My original recipe (from 20+ years ago) did call for a good bit of oil, but then I saw a recommendation for subbing apple juice for the oil, and have done that ever since, using frozen apple juice concentrate. It works very well, and the juice "dries out" with the final baking with the oats and nuts.
(post #67242, reply #22 of 23)
I'm new to this granola business, but after trying several different types in South Africa I decided to give it a go with the FC Honey Almond Granola from a few issues back, which mixes everything but the fruit and then into the oven for around half an hour. I thought it was pretty good, but in the spirit of learning more can I ask what difference it makes toasting the grains and nuts separately? Does it still make clusters?

I decided to make a slight change, due to my love-affair with "The Handmade Loaf"
today I made the rustic potato bread - it is unbelievably good! I am so happy with the results!
It does take a long time, though - about 8 hours from start to finish, but very little hands-on time.
It was a pleasure to work with the dough - you know when you have a bread dough that forms all kinds of bubbles and blisters from the fermentation going on? THis was THE most "bubbly" bread I've made so far.
The raw potato in the dough is supposed to keep the loaf fresh for a longer time - we shall see... :-)

Beautiful! More info about the pan which mimics the steam oven?

(post #67242, reply #15 of 23)
Well, the problem I have with this pan is that I bought it YEARS ago. I saw it on a blog somewhere and the woman was going on and on about how much she loved it
I found it on ebay then - bought it, loved it too. I had forgotten about it, since all the breads in the book call for free baking on a stone. Today I decided to give it a try, and I think it worked quite well
of course, I searched and searched for a link with a picture, cannot find anything. If you do a google, you will see lots of people praising the pan - but at least for me, no luck finding a source to buy it. It's almost like no one is making it anymore
I'll tell you what - next week I'll probably make bread again, I will take a picture of mine. I just don t want to do it now, I put the camera away and feel a little lazy :-)

Both loaves look very nice but which bread did you prefer? Unless I saw wrong (I've had a long busy day) seems like the loaf baked on the stone had more oven spring, no?
(post #67242, reply #20 of 23)
A little bit more oven spring - the other loaf had to wait an additional 50 minutes to go into the oven, maybe that also influenced
I "think" I preferred the crunch of the one baked over the stone
we had a friend over the house yesterday and he, his 13 year old son, and PHil went NUTS over the bread - I don t think I ever got as many compliments about a loaf of bread before... :-)
it was a very delicate dough - I made a mess switching it from the floured cloth to the oven. Next time I need to find a better way, maybe get one of those perforated pans that the bread rises AND bakes in?

Congratulations on your baking. You're doing really well.
I don't know how you manage to take pics and make bread at the same time. Oh wait...you work in a lab.
Have you tried using parchment paper? I don't like to move the bread around. If I let it rise on a baking sheet
the whole thing goes in the oven. You can remove the parchment when the bread starts to set.
DH always says "nothing like homemade bread". :)

Stay sane inside insanity!
Columbia is a character from the musical productions of The Rocky Horror Show since 1973, from the 1975 movie, from the 2015 tribute production celebrating 40 years, and from the 2016 reimagining movie. Columbia is a groupie, lover of Frank for a while untill he changed her for Eddie, of whom she also fell in love until his death. She is one of Frank's servants in his castle along with Riff Raff and Magenta.
She was portrayed by Little Nell in the 1973 Original London Production and in the 1975 film adaptation; by Boni Enten in the 1974 Roxy Production and the 1975 Broadway Production; by Joan Jett in the 2001 Broadway Revival, by Sophie Linder-Lee in the 2015 live tribute production, and by Annaleigh Ashford in the 2016 reimagining movie.
The Rocky Horror Show
During an unknown time, Columbia became a lover of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, until he replaced her for the delivery boy, Eddie. However, Eddie was rebellious (making Columbia fall for him) and Frank decided to take half of his brain to create a new creature, a "perfect man" called Rocky Horror.
The night of the arrival of Brad Majors and Janet Weiss, Columbia welcomes them along with Riff Raff and Magenta, employees of Frank. The couple is invited to meet the new creature that is going to be born that day ("Sweet Transvestite") and then they are introduced to the tone of the situation by the employees ("Time Warp"). During this song, Columbia claims to be walking the streets when a creepy guy winks at her, taking her by surprise. This person had a pick-up truck and the "devil eyes", making her feel a change.
Columbia tells Brad and Janet that being invited to Frank's lab is a great honor, especially that night, stating that she's already seen that lab. There he helps Riff Raff and Magenta to finally be able to give life to Rocky, who awakens very altered ("Sword of Damocles"). Columbia tries to calm him by saying that there is no crime in what he is. When Frank asks his servants what they think of his creation, she says "it's okay".
After Frank explains to Rocky the plans he has for him ("Charles Atlas Song"), from a cooler (where they had Eddie's brainless body) comes out Eddie to sing a last number in honor of Columbia ("Hot Patootie"), but then he's assassinated By Frank, since now he is only interested in his new creature, Rocky. In the movie version, later that night she, along with Magenta, watch Janet having sex with Rocky ("Touch-a-Touch-a-Touch-a-Touch Me"). After a series of events, with the arrival of Dr. Scott ("Eddie's Teddy"), she states that everyone rejected Eddie, but she was about to love him and for that reason she told him not to lose his mind, but he locked himself, ignoring his advice.
After that, Columbia finds out that Frank has the chopped body of Eddie in a bag (in the movie version the body is in the dinner table covered by the tablecloth). This initiates a persecution that ends in all being paralyzed with a sonic transducer ("Planet Schmanet, Janet"), which prevents them from moving of the ground and later to be sprayed by Riff Raff with a gas that leaves them "as drugged" (in the movie they are turned into stone). Columbia finally confronts Frank telling him that she's tired of him as he only use the people at his convenience and even revealing that there was a time where she loved him, but Frank doesn't care about all of this and they also sprays her (in the movie she is turned into stone). The victims then appear on the "Floor Show", where Columbia returns to tell how everything was great at the beginning but then everything was ruined with the arrival of Rocky. However, Riff Raff and Magenta appear ready to kill Frank, but Columbia gets in the way and gets shot by the laser gun, dying instantly.
Columbia has solos in:
- Time Warp
- Touch-a-Touch-a-Touch-a-Touch Me (company in some productions; soloist in the 1975 film)
- Eddie's Teddy
- Rose Tint My World
Columbia sings as company (chorus) in:
- Dammit, Janet (in the 1975 film)
- Sweet Transvestite
- Sword of Damocles
- Don't Dream It, Be It
- Wild and Untamed Thing
- I'm Going Home

My title is Elizabeth and I live within the UK where I work as a freelance net designer and on-web page, and off-page optimization consultant. You can chill out realizing your web site is protected in the arms of the Geek Power Web Design crew. EAnswerNetwork (I) is a Company which arrange the Search Engine Optimization and Web designing. The net has grown in methods we could by no means have imagined, but I still believe Dr. Crane's vision that the net is a place where everybody should contribute and share a number of the unique resources they've to supply. Founded in 2009, Ambrose Fox delivers tailored internet solutions for small, medium and huge organisations and is run by internet technology guide, Adam Yeadon.
When one has a responsive net design, getting throughout into a number of devices without dropping out on high quality becomes very easy. One of my previous careers, at the same time as I was quilting and running my own web site, was as a web designer. Anyone who is in enterprise ought to verify them out for all of their website design wants. If you check out our portfolio you may see that we've built actually hundreds (truly over 1000) of internet sites since beginning in 1996 and many are for very large companies plus companies who absolutely depend on the net as a business device.
CyberAgent , a media agency based in Japan, also used Google Web Designer for a recent dynamic remarketing marketing campaign. Can't connect directly to a site as with Expressions Web with not extensions or requirements. At the identical time remember you are going to have web visitors who need simply the details in a concise format, so plan some useful content material for them too.
Most of our customer (here at ) contains responsive design as one among their necessities. It could be a number of work to begin with, but you may make a very skilled looking web site by utilizing the content material management system Joomla ( ) and there are heaps of free templates to start you off. Development of web tasks utilizing Foundation is quicker, and could be done is much less time when compared to Skeleton.
Our lead Product Manager and Creative Technical Consultant will walk by the new Google Web Designer options and demo some cool creative executions. I think the reason why they should ease out the design earlier than they work on the website functionality is as a result of the website development relies rather a lot on the design. Final presentation supplies might be required from selected presenters by Friday, July 22, 2016.

Classic Car Tours International was formed in 2001 by Brian Thorley, a Francophile, with a passion for classic cars and modern sportscars.A management consultant for over 30 years, his love of France, sports cars and classic cars goes back even longer; his first sports car, for instance, was a Swallow Doretti when he was still an undergraduate at Manchester University and in 1971 he bought his first Lotus Elan.
Brian's other passion is France where he lives most of the year in the Dordogne region in south-west France.
He formed Classic Car Tours International in 2001 whilst living in Cumbria's Lake District and regularly participated in classic car tours and rallies in the UK, as well as in France.
In 2001 he launched Classic Car Tours International,(CCTI), with their first European escorted car tour for classic cars and modern sports cars visiting both Spain and France.
18 years later CCTI are now one of the market leaders offering 9 fully escorted European car tours in 2019 with fwo tours linked to a motor race event, the other eight tours are purely car touring holidays visiting some of Europe's most stunning scenery where you can drive your own car on some of Europe's best driving roads. Brian's intimate knowledge of France and his interest in French lifestyle has resulted in Classic Car Tours International incorporating stunning scenic routes through some of the prettiest villages in France as well as visits to many places of interest both on and off the beaten track.These include stunning chateaux, villas and interesting museums catering for every taste; beautiful gardens, art galleries,abbeys, churches and other historic monuments, wine caves and other fascinating visitor attractions. Brian also has a nose for discovering charming hotels and restaurants to enhance your driving holiday. As the Tour Director, together with his partner Karen, he accompanies all tours to guarantee the smooth running of the event and to ensure that new clients are made to feel at home and introduced to regular/repeat clients.
We have no rigid policy regarding eligibility or age of cars on our car tours so modern sports cars, of any age, are equally welcome as older, classic cars. In fact over two thirds of our clients drive modern sports cars. We are a friendly organisation whose ethos is based upon enjoying your driving, whatever your vehicle, and this is a common theme amongst all our clients.

In the next few months I will be posting reviews of the books that I have been sent (I currently have a back log of book reviews waiting to go up, hence the wait.) So as a little show of appreciation before I am able to post a blog with the reviews that each book deserve, I thought I would highlight some of the books that they have recently published along with their descriptions.
Check out Hot Key Books website here to look at the whole selection of their books.

Great Place Scheme Open
The Great Place Scheme will fund in areas which are committed to embed heritage and culture as a core part of local plans and decision-making. By strengthening the connections between heritage, civic and community organisations, by involving people, projects will enhance the role that heritage and culture plays in the future of each place participating in the Scheme. In time this will lead to the social and economic benefits that heritage and culture can achieve.
This is a pilot scheme. It will fund activities which can be built on in the future, and whose learning can be shared with other places.
What are the aims of the scheme?
The Great Place Scheme will enable heritage and cultural organisations to make a step-change in how they work together, and with organisations in other sectors, in order for heritage and culture to contribute more to meeting local social and economic objectives.
How much funding is available?
You can apply for between £100,000 and £500,000 for activity to be delivered over a period of up to three years.
The application process has one round only, but you must submit an Expression of Interest before completing an application form.
How to Apply?
In order to apply for this Scheme, you must submit an Expression of Interest by midday 14 August 2017. Please fill in the documents found at: https://www.greatplacescheme.org.uk/wales and send to email@example.com.
We will contact you by 31 August 2017 to tell you whether or not you are being invited to submit an application. This will be based on whether your proposal is felt to have the most potential to deliver against the Scheme's outcomes. Proposals encouraged to apply will need to submit a full application by 7 December 2017.

STONY BROOK, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — A 53-year-old Staten Island man raised his thumb into the air Wednesday – an act just two weeks ago that he thought would be impossible ever to accomplish again.
As CBS 2's Carolyn Gusoff reported, sheet metal mechanic Kenneth Klapak was honoring a team of Long Island doctors who saved him from losing his hands after a horrible accident.
Klapak was about to mold a piece of metal on a machine he's used thousands of times at his North Babylon shop on May 16 when something went terribly wrong, WCBS 880's Marla Diamond reported.

Debt is a part of life. People get loans for their houses, cars, and education. Yet, a new report has found that millions of Americans are struggling to pay off their medical debt. The study, conducted by the Commonwealth Fund, found that 41 percent of adults had problems paying off their medical debt or were paying the debt off over a period of time. Additionally, 29 percent of those having difficulty had more than $4,000 in unpaid medical bills. A significant portion of those surveyed, 16 percent, had more than $8,000 in medical debt.
Investment firm filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy
In these difficult financial times it is not uncommon to see businesses struggling with debt. Customers and clients are tightening their belts, leaving businesses with products or services that are going unsold. This overwhelming debt can lead to financial challenges including unpaid bills and lawsuits. Thus, when these businesses are unable to pay creditors, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing may be one of the few options available to satisfy the debt. One boutique investment firm is going through this process right now.
Homeowners seeking debt relief in foreclosure case underpaid
In a story that readers of this blog may be familiar with, there recently were payments sent out to many homeowners who had gone through the foreclosure process and faced errors from lenders. In addition, we said that debt relief from those payments may be hard because initially some checks bounced but also because many of them were simply so small that they wouldn't make much difference for Tennessee homeowners struggling to eliminate debt. For some people however, they may be entitled to a second check.
Many may receive debt relief after paying off medical bills
For some Chattanooga residents, dealing with medical bills is a difficult and grueling task. Working hard to pay off the bills may seem like an uphill battle. If one falls behind on payments, it may make any type of debt relief one seeks later that much more difficult because of the negative impact on the individual's credit score.
Bankruptcy filings dropped in Tennessee though more use Chapter 7
Chatanooga residents may be interested to know that as the economy improves, it seems that bankruptcy filings are down across the state. However, for those still struggling, bankruptcy may be more necessary now more than ever.

Hello Skippy. Again. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you're a guest at our house again. But that means I have to scramble at the last-minute and take photos of you and my son doing things together. I also have to document every moment you and my son spend together in a journal, which is dedicated to your visits to all the kids' homes in my son's Pioneer Club class. Did I mention last-minute? Plus, I don't like taking you to public places since I almost lost you at the pumpkin patch the last time you were our guest. Talk about stress.
But, you do bring my son joy when you're here, so it's worth it. I just have to make sure I have a back-up Skippy ready to purchase just in case something goes awry.

Viewing a depiction of love and relationships as a quest equally as important to men as it is to women grants Love Is ___ a layered sensitivity we don't often seen on television.
The producers of Love Is __ clearly know this terrain better than most. And they hope to make it accessible to audiences of all colors without losing the flavors that make it unique.
The scenes with their friends tend to be livelier and lighter and more ordinarily lifelike than those that Nuri and Yasir have together. They keep Love Is_ from sinking under the weight of its own ardent sincerity.
As good as Weaver and her Nuri are, the best scenes belong to Victor and her Angela Brown. ... Never bet against a show created by Mara Brock Akil, but feel-good "Love Is __" could use a little more edge and a lot more dramatic tension.
Love Is has one problem that keeps it from truly working like it could: the chemistry between its leads, a crucial component of any worthwhile rom-com, falls flat when it should fizz. Weaver, at least, is effervescent, giving Nuri a confidence and palpable longing for stability that makes her truly magnetic. Both Yasir and Catlett, however, struggle to keep up with her.
OWN's syrupy immersion romance Love Is__ leads with a 1990s meet-tepid between two Hollywood wannabes and then glides along like molasses, allowing low-stakes minutiae to dominate the plotting.

text: "Joined a gym but soon gave up.""The initial enthusiasm to exercise remains just that, "initial". It lasts just a week or two." "The mention of the word exercise makes me feel lethargic! "Does this sound like you? If yes, then perhaps these tips will keep you motivated enough to keep to your exercise routine.How to stick to an exercise regimen Reverse Psychology All of us are aware of the benefits of exercising, yet they don't seem to motivate us enough to stick to our chosen exercise regimen. You can use some reverse psychology on yourself to help achieve this. Remind yourself regularly of the harmful effects of an inactive lifestyle. Stick a poster stating points like-increased risk of heart attack, obesity, high cholesterol, weaker bones in old age, lower immunity etc in your bathroom where you are most likely to spend a decent amount of time alone. Knowing that going without exercise will damage your health and your body will help you to stay highly motivated.Choose the right physical activity. Choosing the right physical activity is also extremely important. We always start with great and positive intentions but after a while something happens, perhaps to break our habit just once, then exercise loses its shine. Therefore it's important to choose a form of exercise which you find interesting. Running, kickboxing, spinning, dancing, aerobics,swimming or any outdoor sports, pick whatever you like.Work with your subconsciousFinally, more than anything else it is your own will power which can help you stay motivated to stick to an exercise program. Making a conscious effort will obviously produce results, but you will get even better results if you can align your subconscious mind with your desires too. One way to do this is to use a powerful technique from hypnosis called "embracing a positive body image." You could do this with help of a trained hypnotherapist or follow the steps listed below: Close your eyes and sit in a comfortable position. Take a deep breath in and exhale Imagine that with every out breath you are exhaling all your insecurities, fears and anxieties. Repeat this process for a few minutes. Now imagine yourself the way you want to look, fit and healthy. Embrace this image of yourself. Relax. Take a few deep breaths in and open your eyes.This technique can be very powerful, but to be able to do it yourself you'll need some practice. Another interesting do-it-yourself technique is listening to an audio CD containing subliminal messages. These Cds contain messages which have been moved to a sound frequency beyond the limit of human hearing (i.e. the name subliminal). Subliminal messages are considered to be powerful enough to influence your subconscious and reprogram it in such a way that it becomes easier for you to stay focused on your goals.However, subliminal messages for exercise motivation, hypnosis or any other technique will be beneficial only if you are consciously willing to work towards your goal.

I can finally get rid of my MobileMe subscription with Apple.
My contacts and calendar will be managed by Google Sync (for FREE!).
The locate iPhone, privacy wipe, and remote control will be handled by iLocalis ($20). That's $80 in savings.
I don't hate MobileMe. I just think I'm getting too little for $100. Plus, I was one of the first to sign up when it was announced for the iPhone 3G and had to put up with the initial frustrations.

What: Shares of gaming retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME) jumped 16.4% in July, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence, as the stock got a Pokemon-related boost.
So what: It may seem counterintuitive, but the biggest driver for GameStop in the quarter was the hit release of Pokemon Go, even though it's a mobile title that contributes no direct revenue to the video game retailer. However, GameStop has been offering Pokemon-related discounts, and evidently, they've drawn customers to stores at a rapid clip. CEO Paul Raines said shortly after the game's release that some stores have seen sales double due to customers flooding in to purchase Pokemon merchandise.
While GameStop may enjoy a temporary boost from Pokemon Go's success and could even benefit from increased interest in the Nintendo 3DS releases of Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon later this year, the long-term competitive dynamics don't bode well for the company. Pokemon's transition to mobile devices shows that popular franchises can leverage smartphones to make money, reducing reliance on the devices and cartridges that GameStop sells. The boost in traffic will likely be short-lived as well.
Now what: The first peek into exactly how much Pokemon Go is affecting GameStop's bottom line will be seen on Aug. 25 when the company reports results for the quarter ended July 30. There may, in fact, be a boost in sales from the game, and if the upcoming Pokemon titles on the Nintendo 3DS are a hit, that momentum could continue.
But I wouldn't confuse short-term gains with long-term potential for GameStop's business. Games are moving to mobile devices and digital downloads -- that's what should worry investors long-term. This may not be a share pop with staying power and at the moment, doesn't indicate a way for GameStop to transition its business for long-term growth.
