Angie Sam went on a quest for creating a t-shirt brand with big eco attitude, yet her latest designs have earned media limelight in their own right.
Sublime: So tell us Angie, where did the inspiration for Ultra Tee come from?
Angie Sam: My mother was a follower of the healthy club long before it became a trendy movement. There was lots of focus on healthy food, physical activity and positive mindsets. We had a big garden where we grew vegetables and fruits – without pesticides of course. As a child, I didn't like doing farming work. I realise now that learning to grow your own real veggies is actually a real privilege and luxury.
I wanted to further expand these values to everyday life by dressing sustainably too. I thought it would be easy, but I ended up spending weeks and months researching, finding sustainable partners and suitable ecofriendly printing techniques. This hasn't stopped; I am always looking to improve my supply chain.
Sublime: Tell us about your sourcing decisions?
AS: I work with companies – big and small, local and international - who have the same way of thinking as I do. Honestly, it hasn't been easy to find them. When I work with small, local companies, the most important thing for me is to build strong long-term partnerships that allow us to grow together!
Sublime: What's the driving force for your passion?
AS: I believe in creating something special and the little details – even my swing tags are made in-house. It is a long process – starting from drawing, designing styles, sewing and then printing each item. I started out with a pencil but today I use design software as there is more flexibility to adapt each design until it satisfies my expectations.
Passion is a kind of freedom, I think. The process is not easy, but it brings me my freedom.
When you look at a tee, you may say, so what? It's just a t-shirt! But it requires attention and energy to produce a high quality product that is made to last.
Sublime: Who is the one person who you feel would embody your brand?
AS: Emma Watson. She is one gorgeous, talented and committed lady. Wearing a dress made from recycled plastic bottles on the red carpet – I think this sends a very strong message. I wish to prove to the younger generation that they still can wear trendy clothes, but sustainably made!
Sublime: What is your favourite tee from your current collection?
AS: The pineapple as it is so shiny and so summer. It urges me to travel to exotic destinations, and gives me a chance to dream of a holiday when I'm hard at work with the brand.
A little bird tells us you take inspiration from botanical gardens. What's your favourite?
Le Jardin de Luxembourg in Paris is one of my favorites as I love the unusual tropical plants in its orangery.
Sublime: Your designs embody the style of historic drawings – was this intentional?
AS: Yes! Actually, I have a passion for finding rare and antiquated gardening books. I am sure that the modern world of the internet can tell us so much more, but old books are so inspiring!
I love the technique of drawing and how the plants/flowers are represented with so many tiny details! When I was a child, I spent my summers at my grandparent's country house discovering different kind of plants and flowers that I would dry in big, thick books. Illustrative botanical drawings recall many fond memories for me.
Nature is Ultra Tee's creative base. There will always be slogan tees, but I'm excited to see how inspirational designs evolve!
Sublime: Where do you plan to take your brand next?
AS: I wish to expand my product range beyond tees. Currently, I am working on a limited edition, handmade accessories line made from fabrics that are printed locally in London and will be launched next month at Pure London, and at Innatex in Frankfurt.

Bogor- I am learning to develop my passion in design using Photoshop and Corel Draw. Trying to consistent and make a design regularly is very hard, but I try to give my best and divide my time to learn design by my self. I like graphic Design especially typography design. Some of ways to increase my passions and look for inspirations are by watching tutorial in youtube and download many creations from other typographic designer all around the world. Because I believe that Inspirations can come from many sources. keep learning and learning… 😀

This is a picture of what is allegedly another Google shipping-container barge being towed into port off the coast of New England. It was taken by the Portland Tugboat company, and posted Facebook with the caption "ROWAN towing the 'mystery barge'. Entering Portland harbor."
We recently told you about the mysterious barge Google built which floats in San Francisco Bay. It is surrounded by secrecy, and is either a floating data center or a marketing stunt for Google Glass, depending on which rumor you prefer.
Now another one has appeared, and this one is off the Eastern Coast of the U.S., in Portland, Maine.
"They're building on both coasts," said a source familiar with the Google project.
Google has us surrounded!
The Portland barge is four stories tall, probably cost $10 million to build, and was towed into the harbor from New London, Conn., (a shipbuilding center) on Oct. 11, according to the Press Herald. ComputerWorld reports that the Google barges are not a threat:
"We know what's inside," said a Portland Coast Guard station spokesman. "We know it's not a threat to public safety here in Portland. It's following all regulations."
Rob Enderle, an analyst at Enderle Group, believes the barges are offshore data centers which use water for cooling and perhaps waves for energy. They can be moved around as local resources, when required.
It's not clear, however, how those cooling/energy advantages might offset the disadvantages of floating on a ship in salt water.
Stay tuned!

It gives me great pleasure to warmly welcome you to this our 58th Annual Prize Giving. We are moving closer and closer to the 60th birthday of our school and some among us have witnessed a multitude of changes over the years. Students, I remember this school when there was no swimming pool, no Indoor Centre, no Drama or Computer Rooms, no Rugby gym; classrooms 82A to D did not exist and French was taught in a Prefab on the top field, boys and girls were not allowed to sit together at breaks. (However more of that in two years' time). Welcome to Mrs Boni Mchunu, General Manager of East Coast Radio. We look forward to your address, Boni, and thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to be with us this morning.
Welcome to our Circuit Manager, Mrs Sithole, and once again congratulations on your permanent appointment. We, and I know I speak for my colleagues as well, are delighted with the news of your appointment and really enjoy working with you. Welcome to colleagues who are present here this morning. Welcome also to our special guests and to the Chairman of the Governing Body, Mr Tony Hikins, and other members of the SGB. I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude to the SGB for their unfailing commitment to our school and a special thanks to Tony and to the Treasurer, Melanie Watts, who spend countless hours ensuring that all is well at our school. In spite of the tough economic times at present, the school has not been in such a sound financial position for a long time and much of it is thanks to these two parents. I think they deserve a round of applause.
2018 has been a good year for Kloof High. We began the year with the announcement of the 2017 Matric results where one of our students, Kiara Pillay, finished in the top ten of the Province. A fine achievement indeed! The percentage of Bachelor Passes was not as high as it usually is (which is around 88%) and we have focussed on an improvement in this area in 2018. This focus, coupled with the removal of designated subjects, and the pleasing attendance at the October school revision classes, bodes well for the end of the year. Students, we hope your hard work pays off! Remember, it is the quality of the pass that counts, not the pass itself.
Sport at Kloof High has always been strong and, well-administered by Mrs Orrell and the Sports Department, we continue to enjoy many successes, some of which are listed in the booklets you received on arrival this morning. The sportsmen and women were honoured at the recent Evening of Excellence where Guest Speaker, Matthew Willman, challenged the students to become themselves the heroes they so admire.
The focus for this year was on Cultural Activities and Academic Extension and the results have been spectacular. Much of the credit must go to the HOD in charge, Mrs Olga Roux, whose tireless efforts have ensured not only our widespread participation but the quality of that participation as well. The highlight of this involvement has been our participation in the Global round of the World Scholar's Cup held in Melbourne, Australia, where all four of our teams qualified to take part in the World Scholar's Cup Tournament of Champions at Yale University in November. I thank Ms K Bricknell and Mrs O Roux as well as the determined parents of the group, and their generous sponsors, for making this dream possible for these 12 young people. The standard was exceptionally high with the students participating in debates, essay writing, quizzes and the like on the theme of "An entangled World".
Another innovation this year, and one initiated by the students of both schools themselves, was the Cultural Derby Day, where the students of Kloof and Hillcrest competed in song, dance, poetry and one act plays. I am pleased to report that Kloof High scored a very narrow victory and we look forward to hosting the second round of this event next year.
On the Academic Extension side, Kloof High, once again, was placed in the top 20 schools in the country (out of a number of 400 or so) in the Allan Gray Entrepreneur Challenge, which is an online challenge exploring and embracing the mind-set of an entrepreneur. We are particularly proud of one of our students, Aphile Shabalala, who is amongst the top 20 students in the country out of approximately 14,000. Students like this truly embody the school motto of "to be the best that I can be". Well done to them all!. We will know the exact positions tomorrow night as this will be announced at the Prize Giving ceremony which Apile and Mrs Pillay will be attending in Johannesburg.
Three of our students excelled in the Eskom Science Expo and were selected to participate in the 2018 International Science Fair held in Boksburg, where all three received Silver for their projects.
A group of Geography students participated in a Climate change and Global Warming initiative run by M.I.T. The students drew up 600 postcards to express what they would do to combat these important global issues. These postcards, together with thousands collected from all over Africa, will be placed on a glacier in Switzerland. An aerial photo will then be taken to be entered into the Guinness Book of Records.
The Indian Cultural committee is currently preparing for a quiz, run by the Indian Government, with topics on Indian Song, dance and heritage. We wish them all the very best in their endeavours.
We congratulate Chris Phillips in Grade 12 on achieving 100% in the 1st round of the Computer Olympiad. We achieved very good results in the Accounting Olympiad, with one of our students finishing in the top ten in the country.
We have 32 students (in grades 10 – 12) sitting for the international French Delf exams next week which will earn them international accreditation.
Two of our teachers deserve a mention and we congratulate Mrs S Ramsookbhai who has recently delivered a paper on Leadership at an international conference in Dubai and Mr A Juggernath who was invited to deliver a paper in Gaborone. Botswana. Students, take a leaf out of your teachers' books'- learning and empowering oneself with knowledge is a life-long pursuit.
Kloof High is fortunate to have a dedicated and committed teaching and administrative staff and I thank the teachers and secretaries and general assistants for all their hard work over the past year. It is much appreciated!
To Senior Management, Middle Management and Grade Heads, my heartfelt thanks. So much is expected from you over and above your teaching loads, and I am really appreciative of your efforts. Let's give them a round of applause.
On the sports field we enjoyed some gratifying victories at different levels in the various sporting codes. We are fortunate to have particularly strong U15 & U16 age groups at the moment which bodes well for the future. To Mr Lötter and the maintenance team, the Sports Department and Coaches and Managers, thank you for a great year of competitive sport.
Various sporting tours were undertaken in the course of the year, namely rugby to Johannesburg, Cricket to Eshowe, Waterpolo to George, Soccer to Bloemfontein and Hockey to Treverton. I must thank parents for bearing the extra cost of these tours and reassure them of the value of these tours in the development of our youngsters and their sporting abilities.
I congratulate the students on their many individual achievements, some of which are available to you in the booklets. I would like to highlight the following stats. 3 students made regional teams, 37 district teams, 17 made it to the final KZN trials and 31 made KZN teams.
With regard to the actual plant we have been very fortunate that Public Works has undertaken to do much needed repairs and maintenance at no cost to the school. As has been said this school is 58 years old and the plumbing, roofing, electrics etc. are all in need of an overhaul. This work is set to start soon and we look forward to showing off a relatively new school in 2020.
Also, the Victor Daitz Foundation has committed to upgrading the four Life Science laboratories. A few years back this generous Foundation revamped the Science labs and has now agreed to do the same for the Life Science labs. We are humbled by their generosity and thank them most sincerely.
We also thank the Debs and Squires, a group of Grade 9 – 10 students who individually raise money for their school over a period of 12 months. Over the last 2 to 3 years they have raised sufficient money to enable us to heat the swimming pool (which is soon to be refurbished by Public Works), at long last!
Other significant events which have taken place over the course of this year are the Matric Dance with its magical island theme, (I am pleased to say that we are one of few schools which continues to hold this event at school), the isiZulu cultural evening (produced and directed by the students themselves), the two Toastmasters graduations, the Annual Derby Day hosted so well by Hillcrest High School, the enjoyable school play "Sister Act", a glittering Debs and Squires Ball and so on.
As you can see this is an extremely busy school where we attempt to provide as many opportunities as possible for our students in which to participate and compete and we hope that along the way they learn to win and lose graciously and also to realise the importance of commitment, of getting involved, of giving up one's time for the benefit of the school and for personal growth as well.
A new innovation in 2018 has been the launch of Kloof TV. Thanks to the company, Digicom, a consultant is stationed permanently with us and, with equipment supplied by the company at no cost to us, he has taught a group of our students the skills of filming, editing and interviewing. School events are live streamed and are available to parents, teachers, students and the like. We have had great fun with this new venture and I thank Kiran for all his efforts and the many hours he spends here at school.
Ladies and Gentlemen this ceremony is in honour of our Grade 12s seated here in front of me, I have attempted to highlight all the good that has happened in our school over the year as I hope this counteracts some of the negativity the students are exposed to on a daily basis in the press and on social media. Things look bleak in our country and the world and I am sure you students feel apprehensive about setting forth and finding your niche in this troubled world of ours. We, at Kloof High, wish a successful and productive life for each and everyone of you. Success means different things to different people, but remember that all
people thrive on appreciation, respect, kindness and fairness. I hope these principles and values govern your actions always and that you receive the same from those around you.
You are masters of your own destiny and everything that you do will affect your destiny. In spite of the recent Concourt ruling, the abuse of certain substances will negatively impact that destiny whereas focus, hard work, grit and determination will help you to fulfill that destiny.
Woody Hayes said the following "You'll find that nothing that comes easy is worth a dime. As a matter of fact, I never saw a football layer make a tackle with a smile on his face. Never."
Go well KHS 2018 Matrics may God bless and keep you. We wish you well in your finals and hope you will stay in touch with us.
I would like to conclude with the following words from Abraham Lincoln: "Whatever you are, be a good one!" Thank you

SweetAs Cakeaway are here for your weekend cravings! Picture this, it's Saturday night, you're watching movies at home and you're craving a sweetie treatie but can't be bothered making anything, or going out to get it.
OK, I basically just described every single weekend of my life. Thankfully, Auckland now has it's very own treat delivery service – SweetAs Cakeway! They serve all sorts of tasty cheesecakes, shakes, brownies, and other little treats to curb your sweet tooth.
Unfortunately, at the moment because they are still so small and starting out – they are only able to do North Shore deliveries. They are definitely wanting to expand throughout Auckland so watch their website for updates! I actually went over to my mums place on the shore just so I could test these treats out.
Here's what I tasted, and my thoughts:
Cheesecake – $6.90
Nutella Cheesecake – Favourite cheesecake by far, Ferrero Rocher crushed on top was absolutely perfect. Filling was nice and cold, but creamy. Base was really yummy as well.
Tim tam cheesecake – Yummy biscuit topping, filling flavours were really good.
New Yorker – simple, tasty but very plain compared to the other flavour offerings. I liked the biscuit base but feel like it could be a tad thicker.
Shakes – $6.90
Banana shake – really thick, used real banana, nice and cold, good size drink.
Oreo shake – nice and cold, full of flavour, didn't have big chunks of Oreo that gets stuck in the straw it was nice and smooth.
Brownie – $4.90
Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownie – gooey, good size portion, cute touch with the Reese's cup on top. Rich but not over-bearing, and the walnuts inside were a good touch for texture.
The SweetAs Cakeaway concept is simple:
- Craving? Check out the menu online
- Place your order by calling them or messaging them on Facebook on Saturday or Sunday night from 6pm onward
- Patiently wait for your treats to arrive
- Eat!
Delivery is $3.00 or free if you're spending over $30.00, you just pay by cash or Eftpos once your delivery arrives. They currently aren't offering Gluten/Dairy/Vegan free – but again, keep an eye out because they are still a young business starting up. Everything for our order arrived nice and cold, and Luke (the owner) was bang on time with our dessert order.
My recommendations: A salted caramel cheesecake needs to be on the menu as well as something citrus. Everything was quite chocolate based, which is fine because I love chocolate. A little more variety would be amazing though.
In a nutshell it was a really enjoyable treat to have delivered and everyone that I shared it with in my family thought it was great . I will definitely be placing more orders with them once they are delivering to the Auckland Central suburbs.
What do you think about this idea?

Site Search
When this site first went online in June 2000 I used to monitor the availability of Albert Ayler CDs in a number of internet stores, providing a monthly update to give a rough guide to what was easy to get hold of through the normal channels. However, things change. Obviously everything is now available to download from pirate sites, but that was never the point of this page. Whats available in the shops is the best indication of Aylers current popularity. But, things change. Back in 2000, CDs were the standard and vinyl reissues and legitimate downloads were a novelty. In February 2008 I dropped the monthly updates and replaced them with this basic list, which ignores ebay and amazon marketplace and the specialist dealers, but which should give a general idea of what is currently in the catalogue.

"The podcast experience" Learning or Just Listening?!?!
Today I attended a presentation at mLearnCon by Mr. Rick Nielsen, an E-Learning Developer and Instructional Designer who has been podcasting for 4 years. I was expecting a presentation titled Making a Podcast a Learning Experience – Not Just a Listening Experience, but instead he decided it would be called "The podcast experience" Learning or Just Listening?!?!… not much a difference between titles but it was definitely an unexpected and pleasant presentation experience! I subscribe to and listen to several podcasts so there's no question … I have experienced them, appreciate them, enjoy -some of- them, and learn from them…in short as an audience member I see the importance and objective of these audio/video media outlets but what about as a podcast producer?
I haven't been able to get a good grasp for selling it to my faculty members as using it to as a method for delivering content. How do I -in plain english- explain to faculty how and why they should use podcasting as a means for teaching? How would they use, design, and develop podcasts to make an effective impact on the learner and material? Where do they start in a world of eLearning and mLearning they may not be experience or comfortable with? Well… thank you Mr. Nielsen… You've made it easier for me to address these and so many other basic concerns!
The presentation description provided by the mLearnCon website read as follows:
Podcasting was one of the early types of approaches used to deliver content to mobile devices. But not all Podcasts provide instruction. Developing and delivering a Podcast that provides effective instruction, and at the same time is entertaining, can be a very effective learning tool.
Participants in this session will learn the factors that you must consider when developing and delivering a Podcast that are necessary to achieving appropriate learning objectives. You will discover a learning medium that allows your learners to listen to your content and instruction where and when they find it most convenient — in the car, the shower, or at the gym.
In this session, you will learn:
– How to keep audience attention
– How to access audience comprehension
– What the factors are that play in to good instructional Podcast design
– What not to do when developing a Podcast.
Audience: Appropriate for all levels, and no specific prior knowledge is required.
Technologies discussed in this session: iPhone, iPod, or other portable media devices.
Rick Nielsen
e-Learning Developer, Podcaster, Author
Rick Nielsen and Associates
Even though he didn't directly address 'what not to do when developing podcast', or the specifics of any real/tangible topic, he addressed so much more!
I believe he plans to publish this presentation as a podcast but in the event he doesn't or if you're not into that sort of thing, here's a recap for those of you who aren't able to see and hear this presentation in person. He begins the presentation by mentioning there are options for Public vs. Private Podcasts, which there's not much difference between and a basic -yet effective- definition of Podcast, the automation of time shifted portable media which is *Automated, *Time Shifted, *Portable, *Multi-Media Capable.
Session Topics:
– The Spoken Word – historical overview of radio and over-the-air communication
– The Podcasted Word
– Podcast Essentials – *if you review/use nothing else, apply this!!!*
– Podcast Experience
The breakdown of the session topics that really mattered to me:
– The Podcast Word
- Using YOUR Natural Voice; it's not about hired talent!
- Relax, from the diaphram; you will be easier to listen to!
- More genuine and believable; does anyone think that their voice is ever good? No!
- The ultimate portable learning tool/media; Anywhere, Anytime,
- RSS Feeds allow for new content to get 'pulled' automatically.
– Podcast Essentials – *Pay Attention!!!*
- Podcast Strategy – clearly define your podcast purpose and audience.
- Episode Structure – have a structure your audience can expect and focus better.
- Intro (Current Events & News), Featured
- Segment (Main Topic), Outro (Post Listener Action – *PLA)
* Example: Comment on your blog/podcast or sign up for mailing list *
- Episode Continuity – transition from one episode to another
Build on concepts so the auidence will continue to grow in understand/objectives.
- Episode Consistently – have a podcast schedule audience can count; Publish your podcast weekly/monthy, make schedule known, and publish ON TIME as expected!
* Even if 'hey this is what i know now, more to come…"
- Episode Length – there are benchmarks
Establish an episode length so that whatever is published can be listened to in one sitting
* If episodes are too long/broken-up, your audience will probably not come back and hear the remainder of the information.
* If you don't use/add PLA – what a bummer… You could be missing out on audience commitment, trust, interaction, and feedback.
- Episode Format – choose a format that best meets the audience needs for effectiveness.
* There are various podcast/episode formats – the most common are:
- Monologue – Not as easy as it sounds
- Dialog – Easier to produce
- Roundtable – Keep your voices in order…
Make sure you have male/female and different accents so the audience doesn't get them confused.
- Interview – Audiences love these…
– The Podcast Experience
- Learning Objectives and Study Aids can be provided via podcast…
- Before you can train someone, you have to get their attention…
- When on the web, use good titles to pique curiosity…
- After you get thier attention, you need their permission for other effective communication…
- Get the audience feedback, give them a shout out, interact and engage through other forums!
Ex: Twitter (see: #Learnchat), Facebook, Forums, Seminars, Webinars, etc…
- Build valuable relationships and influences; your audience will listen, learn, and contribute!
- Pulling it all Together…
Get attention, permisssion, engagement (through lists, feedback, involvement/interaction)
Continue to deliver great content, building trust, relationships and influence in your community!!!

Our second featured IBM Creative is Nirupam Das, a Database Administrator in Kolkata, India. Nirupam likes to paint in watercolor during his free time. He has been painting since his school days, and first became interested in painting at that time as he discovered that he had a passion for playing with color. He chose watercolor as his medium because it's easily available, and he likes to paint landscapes and scenery. His painting style is primarily realistic, and the message he tries to convey in his work is to be oneself and fulfill your dream. He is inspired by various artists, but one artist in particular that he admires is Nandalal Bose, a notable painter of the Bengal school of art whose paintings have been declared as 'art treasures' by the Government of India. Nirupam finds time to paint during the weekends and holidays, and, as for future plans, he hopes to arrange an exhibition of his art in the future. The main advice he would pass along to other IBM Creatives is this – 'beside your daily office job, take some time out and brush up your own talent'.
Thanks Nirupam for being our second featured IBM Creative!

"Be The Best That We Can Be"
Fundraising Information for Parents - where your money goes..
We know you must be feeling the pinch at this time of year and feedback from parents tells us that you would like to know more about the fundraising we do for school in addition to charity collections. With the monies raised at the Christmas market and from Christmas productions, each class will receive an amount to use towards new classroom equipment and immersive learning environments. We are now also able to purchase some class laptops which will be a great boost to learning. I would like to thank you all sincerely for the tremendous support shown for all school events this term, including the MacMillan, Cathedral Archer Project and Children in Need charity fundraising.
Although we are lucky that our school is located in an affluent village, we have a low free school meals percentage in comparison to many other schools and so are allocated less money from the government. In order to make school special for the children, we do therefore ask for voluntary contributions towards visits and visitors and we fundraise for festivities and school projects throughout the year. These are some of the things your money has gone towards recently:
•Funding to facilitate extra-curricular activities including morning and after school clubs
•Maintaining the playground timber trail (funded by the parents' association 10 years ago)
•Maintaining the swimming pool (built and funded by parents over 30 years ago)
•Afternoon treats for children getting a special mention every Friday (a healthy platter shared with the headteacher)
•Exceptional experiential displays all around the school which bring learning to life
•Fantastic outdoor learning facilities including a picnic canopy and outdoor classroom
•Electricity supply to the outdoor classroom
•A sensory garden
•Decorative Christmas hoops for the hall – one made by every class each year
•A 12 foot outdoor Christmas tree in the picnic area
•A book each for every child in FS2 and KS1 (Father Christmas is kind enough to visit us and bring gifts, 89 this year!)
… and so much more besides
Without your help, School would not be in a position to enrich the children's learning experiences in ways such as these. Your continued support enables us to make this school special and exceptional. It is stimulating and exciting, with a growing reputation across Rotherham and neighbouring areas; recommended by consultants and leaders who direct colleagues to visit our school because of the creative curriculum and strong learning environment. We receive regular visits from head teachers and class teachers who come here to see our practice.
Thank you to everyone who contributes to our fundraising in school - we couldn't do it without you!

Your mission is as follows:
1) Investigate the facility, keeping an eye on potential human survivors, preserved research data and Protector Drone samples. It is not, however, up to you to recover any of these.
2) Blow up the primary reactor. This should considerably lower their defense capabilities, paving the way for our strike forces.
3) Once done, establish contact with the strike forces who will then proceed to take over the mission

This concealer is good depending on what you are using it for. For small blemishes it is fine. I use it underneath my eyes but I don't feel it works all that well. It is lightweight but does get greasy with this hot weather. Overall it is decent but a little overpriced.
It kind of hidess blemishes but you would still see the bump and thats NOT good. But its really blendable and great for under eye darkness. It feels like you are wearing nothing on your eyes. sometimes i even use it as an eyeshadow base.... shhh(;
I find this to be pretty medium quality for the price. it's really thin in consistency, and you have to really give it a good shake before using. I really don't think it does a great job at undereye coverage.
I used to breakout from using under-eye concealers, but this one works fantastically! It really lasts all day and so easy to use, no brushes needed. The consistency is really light and that surprised me for how well the coverage was. I suggest you go to a store and ask an associate to do a shade match. The great thing with Smashbox, the shade you use for one product is usually the same one you use for their other makeup products.
This is by far the best concealer i've ever tried. It's light, creamy and easy to apply. It doesn't have any green or yellowy undertones that stick out when you use it. I have very fair skin that barely tans in the summer and I use light, so to know there are colors all across the board for different skin shades, that's a plus. I feel better about a product that looks good on everyone. I use it for my dark circles, red areas, and to hide blemishes. My skin is oily around my eye and when I have it on it doesn't smear or comes off when I sweat. It pairs nicely with my powder foundation and comes off easily when I remove my makeup. It's pricier than drugstore products but I use mine every day and it lasts me about a year. I think if you want to really improve something (hair, skin, eye makeup, lipstick, etc.) it's worth paying more for higher quality products. Definitely a repurchase, i'm on my second tube.
i only need light under eye coverage and this did the job perfectly. i'm new to concealer, so i wasn't quite sure what to look for but i liked the consistency of this product. and it is very lightweight!
I have the hardest time hiding my under-eye circles and this product does a GREAT job! It doesn't cake up, I don't have to use very much to get the coverage I want and it lasts all day long.
this is an amazing HD concealer, works well with a high end foundation and you dont need much of it, doesnt cake under the eyes, lasts all day, and gives a full coverage!
I switched over to Smashbox concealer to cover the blemishes my Halo foundation didn't vanquish. It really does the trick and I don't find it too liquified or cakey when dabbed on with my ring finger. It also does not make my oily skin or minor break outs worse. A little goes long way, however, for the price I think the tube should be twice the size.
This is a very good concealer. It match perfectly with my skin tone. I don't have a lot of imperfections on my face so I don't wear foundation. I'm only using this concealer under my eyes and to cover some redness !

To a businessman, the term 'competitive edge' means a whole lot. In simple terms, it essentially means that you have a "leg up" over the next guy. This can be done via your product lines or brands, or better yet, your quality of customer support.
Supporting your clients is the key in today's uber-frantic marketplace. It isn't enough to offer a great product; it is best to back it up with excellent service. And what does top-notch support mean? Here are some "Do's" to help you out.
Pay attention. If customers have a complaint about a faulty water heater they purchased from your store, attend to the problem immediately. Don't even think about babbling stuff about your "No return, no exchange" policy. Check to see what they problem is first—it might just be a small fix. But whatever it is, fix it immediately.
Speaking of complaints, these are your cue to make things better next time around. Talk to your suppliers and remind them to be more careful. Instead of letting it drag you down, let it give you a hefty boost.
Know what customers need and want. Get ahead of the game. In the age of tweets, shares and likes, it is important to get ahead of the game. Get to know your customers and see what they are looking for in your product or service. Why not "proactively offer these goods, instead of simply reacting to their whims and wants. Read their minds, in other words.
Go the extra mile. This makes your customers' day. If they call you up to ask for help on how to configure their smartphone, don't just do so for the sake of getting the job done. Why not email them a quick "how-to guide, which they can refer to next time around. Or offer for them to always feel free to call back should they need any help—no matter how trivial it may be.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, customer support, if dished out right, can definitely take you to the next level. Oh, and great products will truly seal the deal. Visit www.magellan-solutions.com our web site and find out how we can help your business deliver the best customer support.

Got to same thing happening on my new Mac Book Pro I can't download amp settings or the band tracks Adobe is blocking me even after I downloaded it twice.... Gone into my security settings unlocked everything I can think of... Running as an administrator... Tried downloading with the AMP plugged in, AMP unplugged... Went to the site by itself not through the program... Come same thing... Can't download anything... It was a miracle I even got the program installed..... I'm running VMwere and Windows 7 on my Mac... Download the program and the Silverlight And Adobe and still not able to download the programs... So I deleted it from Windows because it runs much faster and better on the Mac.... Why can I just download these things put them in a folder and access them through the program? Like it shows you're supposed to be able to.... Well sorry for the long rant.... Looks like I'm just going to have to forget about it

Posted May 23, 2005 by publisher in Cuban Music
Email this article | Print this article | Search Havana Journal Tweet
By Teresa Wiltz | Washington Post Staff Writer
To describe Celia Cruz is to invoke hyperbole: She was La Reina de Salsa , the Queen of Salsa, she was thunder and lightning, she was a force of Mama Nature wrapped in chocolate skin, broad of nose and broader of smile, a woman for whom joy was everything and the only thing. When she growled her trademark " Azúcar! ", you knew that she was talking about much more than sugar, but referring as well to her ancestors, slaves who worked the sugar fields of Cuba, of escaping hard times, of an approach to living: The sweeter, the better.
Life was made that much sweeter by some ghetto-fabulous wigs, over-the-top duds and shoes that would do Imelda proud. So much so that at her wake in Miami, there were pauses in the action so that la Reina could make two final costume changes. She would've wanted it that way.
And now, nearly two years after her death from brain cancer, the National Museum of American History has launched a retrospective, "Azúcar! The Life and Music of Celia Cruz," spanning the Cuban singer's six-decade career as a much-adored singer. She made more than 80 recordings and collected five Grammys, the Presidential Medal of Arts and three honorary doctorates. Curated by Marvette Perez, the exhibition will travel the country.
It begins with her beginnings: She was born Ursula Hilaria Celia Caridad Cruz Alfonso in 1925 in the working-class Havana neighborhood Santos Suarez. Her father, Simon, wanted her to be a teacher. Singing wasn't an honorable profession. She did it anyway. There are pictures of her as a pouty baby, as a serious girl facing her first Communion and as a beaming, pony-tailed young chanteuse in the '40s, singing son and rumba, Cuba's native rhythms. From there, it traces her move to Mexico and her defection to the United States.
There is footage of her performing with Tito Puente, the New York-born godfather of salsa who gave her an orchestra. All of this is lovingly and exhaustively detailed, with archival video footage, nine costumes, scads of wigs, her crazy, heel-less platform shoes, never-before published photos, music videos and a moving, 12-minute documentary of her life, with Gloria Estefan, Quincy Jones, David Byrne and Johnny Pacheco, among others, talking about her fabulousness. (Then, too, there is a heartbreaking interview with her husband of 42 years, Pedro Knight, a man clearly unmoored by the death of his wife, who says that throughout their marriage they were together "25 hours of the day.")
It's such an exhaustive exhibition that it's surprising, and disappointing, that the not-so-happy moments in her life are glossed over. Yes, she left Cuba, six months after Fidel Castro took over. But there's no explanation of why she left, beyond that the revolution brought a lot of changes for musicians. (Well, yeah, and um, everybody else on the island, too.) There is, however, a picture of her leaving the country, standing by an airplane she's about to board. And she looks royally ticked, a departure from her normally sunny demeanor. You look at it, and you want to know: What happened there? Perhaps we can find a hint in her song "Cuando Salí De Cuba," ("When I Left Cuba"): "When I left Cuba / I left my heart / I left my love. . . . " (She never went back. She tried, when her mother died in 1962, but Castro refused to let her into the country, a decision that broke her heart and hardened her resolve to never return.)
The exhibition gives only passing mention to troubles that she encountered in her new homeland: There is a copy of her wedding certificate to trumpeter Knight, the love of her life. They wed in 1962 in Connecticut. His profession is listed as "musician"; hers, "housework." By this time, she was already a household name throughout Latin America and had performed throughout the States, as well.
The exhibition also calls for a little more context, particularly along matters of race. Before the revolution—and some say, after it, as well—Cuba was a country rived by race. As an Afro-Cubana living in a country where even the mulatto dictator Fulgencio Batista was barred from joining the Yacht Club there, Cruz must have encountered racism. One of her first performing gigs was singing with a group of dancers called "Las Mulattas del Fuego" ("The Fiery Mulattas"). Then, too, there are pictures of dancers in the Tropicana, a famous nightclub, prancing with dolls in blackface.
Context is needed here, because Cruz embraced her blackness with gusto, often performing in afro wigs and dashiki caftans in the height of the '60s and '70s, always acknowledging her African roots in her music, and singing, "I'm so proud of being black / I'm so proud of my black people." (She also had fun with it, too, singing boastfully in her last album, "La Negra Tiene Tumbao," that is, "The Black Lady's Got Funk.") And at the same time, she transcended race, becoming, as her manager Omer Padillo-Sid described her, "the passport to Latin America," with Latinos of all colors adoring her with a fervor on par with fans of the Beatles, Elvis, Madonna and the Rolling Stones.
Azúcar! The Life and Music of Celia Cruz , a bilingual exhibition at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, opens today on the Mall at 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW. Open daily 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m., except Christmas Day. Admission is free. Call 202-633-1000 or visit http://americanhistory.si.edu/celiacruz

Squad news
06 May 2017
Pepe Mel is facing problems at the centre of the defence as Sidnei is injured and Albentosa is suspended. RCD Espanyol are also facing problems in defence due to the casualties.
Round 02. After been unable to secure the permanence in Pamplona, Depor return to the Riazor in order to host RCD Espanyol (Sunday, 18h30 CET). Once again a victory is the goal, though the permanence could be secured one day before as Sporting Gijón need to defeat UD Las Palmas in order to stay alive.
Coach Pepe Mel isnt recovering any of the three men that were injured on last week: centre-back Sidnei Rechel, centre midfielder Pedro Mosquera (both thigh) and striker Joselu (Achilles). Centre-back Raúl Albentosa is also missing the game after picking a fifth yellow card on the season before CA Osasuna.
This means problems at the centre of the defence as Alejandro Arribas is the only natural choice available for the game. Throughout the week Nacho Monsalve from Depor B has been training with the team, but it seems that selected choice will be Fernando Navarro.
The coach has been also testing some novelties in other positions, like a trivote figure at midfield with Álex Bergantiños as a starter and with Ola John having big chances of playing his first game since the kick-off.
At RCD Espanyol, the team arrives to the game without anything at stake, they were dreaming of the chance of entering the European zone, but their latest results left them out of the picture. Coach Quique Sánchez Flores is facing problems due to the casualties hitting his defence.
And its that, for the visit to the Riazor, there are four confirmed casualties and all of them are defenders: right-back Javi López (muscle tear), centre-back Óscar Duarte (knee), plus left-backs Rubén Duarte (ankle sprain) and Aarón Martín (suspension).
Meanwhile, midfielder Salva Sevilla didnt train on Wednesday due to illness, same reason that forced wingers Leo Baptistão and José Antonio Reyes to skip the first two sessions in the week, but the duo should be available for Sundays game.

The Latest Industry News for the Exciting World of Production.
By: Cogswell College | August 18, 2014
Cogswell College, a leading educational institution offering a unique curriculum fusing Digital Art, Engineering and Entrepreneurship, is marking the one-year anniversary of its highly successful MediaWorks initiative. MediaWorks is a project-based learning course in Cogswell®s Digital Audio Technology (DAT) program. MediaWorks produces short audiovisual pieces in collaboration with students of the Digital Art & Animation (DAA) program, for various real-world businesses and organizations based in Silicon Valley and beyond.
Since its launch in Summer 2013, MediaWorks students have developed nine audiovisual pieces, including logo animations, branding pieces, promotional videos, PSAs, and other corporate communications media for a number of companies and organizations. Completed projects to date include: a product presentation film for Panasonic; original sound design for a Panasonic product; a PR/communication film for ALearn, a nonprofit organization committed to helping underrepresented students succeed in college; a corporate logo film for Argus Insights, a company that collects consumer data to reveal consumer trends for corporate decision makers, and a promotional video for Redux Labs of Great Britain, a company that develops cutting edge technology that enables high-resolution speaker-less audio in flat surfaces. MediaWorks students have also created a logo film for Cogswell College, and in-house agency logo animations for the MediaWorks program itself.
To view some of the MediaWorks films, please see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63-PF8_ATVE&list=PLhlhi9QR57AOj19spHyAW-cjpg8n51uvG
"Cogswell's MediaWorks students created a very powerful minute," says Kathryn Hanson, CEO and co-founder of ALearn. "With only 46 percent of California students qualified to enter the university system, this production dramatically illustrated the problem we have with education in California, and how ALearn works to address the challenges that minority youth face."
Celebrating the first anniversary of this initiative, Julius Dobos, Distinguished Lecturer and Audio & Music Director for Cogswell MediaWorks, said: ®We are very proud of our MediaWorks program, which provides a ®real-life client® working experience to a diverse group of students. These students take part in the entire process, from the first client meeting, through formulating a creative brief and concepts, pitching, production and revisions, to the final delivery ® all under tight deadlines. The concept is really the best of both worlds: students with advanced skills gain experience by creating original music & original sound design for visuals made from scratch to satisfy established businesses® actual needs in highly creative ways at, or above, industry-standard quality. It's a unique, 21st Century educational experience. It®s also a professional service MediaWorks provides at a fraction of the cost that a real-world business would pay to any full-service production company.®
Dobos is a composer, music, and audio production professional, with 20 years of industry experience. He injects his knowledge and passion into every project by working closely with his MediaWorks students.
Anthony Dias, Instructor of Digital Audio Technology and Visual Director for Cogswell MediaWorks, adds: ®The production quality that the MediaWorks visual team has achieved is staggering® especially when you consider the time constraints. Our students have already completed nine portfolio-ready pieces. These are available for them to showcase their areas of skill - from Storyboarding to Animation, Live Action, VFX, Compositing, and all other areas of CGI. On each of these projects, the MediaWorks visual team has delivered a final product in a professional manner, time and time again. One of my biggest challenges has been to rein in the intense creativity of my students in order to maintain an appropriate scope relative to our deadlines. We have benefited tremendously from interacting with real clients and collaborating with our Audio counterparts. These are real-world activities that most other students never have a chance to experience until after they have graduated. The MediaWorks program gives our students a real leg-up in this competitive and dynamic industry.®
Dias is a Cogswell alumnus himself, with professional experience in music & audio production, team building, multicultural markets, broadcast advertising, video production and video post-production.
Completed films produced by MediaWorks are available to students for immediate use in their portfolios ® content that gives Cogswell graduates an enormous advantage in their employment search. Currently, MediaWorks is producing audiovisual pieces for a Prairie Rainbow Company / Cogswell Game Studio joint venture, and for Bookshare, a Benetech Global Literacy initiative, the world®s largest online accessible library of copyrighted content for people with print disabilities. The initiative includes over 300,000 members worldwide.
Cogswell College is open to inquiries from corporations with a need for audiovisual media, and the desire to support education in mutually beneficial ways.
The project-based, collaborative environment of MediaWorks offers its students a production experience that mirrors the pipelines of the film and advertising industries, and includes industry related decision-making, challenges and problem solving scenarios. Producing audiovisual media for real-life clients, MediaWorks students complete a full production cycle, from concept to delivery, in a deadline-driven production environment, under the guidance of industry professionals. The professional quality logo, promotional or corporate communication pieces which are produced by these students include custom sound design, original music, animation and/or live action footage. MediaWorks clients to date have included Panasonic, Redux (GB), Argus Insights, ALearn, Benetech, and others. For more information, please visit: http://www.cogswell.edu/student-work/mediaworks.php.
Designed as a ®fiercely collaborative, living laboratory,® Cogswell College is located in the heart of the legendary Silicon Valley in Sunnyvale, California. The school is a WASC accredited, four-year institution of higher education with a specialized curriculum that fuses digital arts, audio technology, game design, engineering and entrepreneurship.
With a distinguished history of more than 125 years, Cogswell®s unique academic approach prepares students to move quickly into the converging global digital media industries, as well as into professions that are changing almost daily. Cogswell students are exposed to a collaborative, project-based, learning experience which integrates multi-disciplinary teams to take original projects from concept to production to implementation.
Numerous alumni of Cogswell College have secured prominent positions within the entertainment, videogame, technology, computer, animation, and motion graphics industries throughout California and beyond. Several of these alumni have established careers with such high profile companies as Activision, DreamWorks Animation, Disney, Electronic Arts, Pixar, and Microsoft Game Studio. Many other alumni have launched their own creative ventures.
Recent Cogswell alumi were members of the Academy Award-winning production teams which worked on the blockbuster films ®Frozen® and ®Life of Pi.® Some of the other well-known consumer projects to which Cogswell alumni have contributed include the feature films ®Madagascar,® and ®The Avengers,® and the popular videogames ®Modern Warfare 3,® ®Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim® and,® Gears of War 3.® Additionally, animated short films conceived and produced by Cogswell students have gone on to win prestigious awards, including those presented by the California International Animation Festival, the Colorado Film Festival, the Oregon Film Festival, the Miami Film Festival, the Philadelphia Film & Animation Festival, the San Jose Short Film Festival, and Canada®s International Film Festival.

Isaiah 60:1-6
Your light has come,
the glory of the Lord shines upon you.
See, darkness covers the earth,
and thick clouds cover the peoples;
but upon you the Lord shines,
and over you appears his glory.
Nations shall walk by your light,
and kings by your shining radiance.
Raise your eyes and look about;
they all gather and come to you:
your sons come from afar,
and your daughters in the arms of their nurses.
Then you shall be radiant at what you see,
your heart shall throb and overflow,
for the riches of the sea
shall be emptied out before you,
the wealth of nations shall be brought to you.
Caravans of camels shall fill you,
dromedaries from Midian and Ephah;
all from Sheba shall come
bearing gold and frankincense,
and proclaiming the praises of the Lord.
Today is the great feast of the Epiphany, which celebrates the adoration of Jesus by the magi — an event that, as you've just read above in Isaiah's prophesy, had been foretold some 800 years before the birth of Christ.
The word "ephiphany" (with a small "e") is defined by Oxford Dictionaries as "a moment of sudden revelation or insight" and "a manifestation of a divine or supernatural being". The word "Epiphany" (with a capital "E") refers to "the manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi".
It is noteworthy that the first creatures to see the newborn Jesus were his human parents, Mary and Joseph; angels on high; humble farm animals; lowly shepherds; and Gentiles — the magi.
The magi were wise men — non-Hebrew pagans from the East. Bearing gifts fit for a king — those of gold, frankincense, and myrrh — their coming to Jerusalem to pay homage to "the king of the Jews" shows that they seek in the messianic light of the Christmas star, the one who will be king of all nations.
The Epiphany, therefore, signifies the manifestation of Jesus as Son of God and Savior of the world — not just the Old Testament's oft-prophesied messiah of the Jews, but the Savior of Gentiles too, the Savior of all humanity.
As St. Paul wrote in his letter to the Ephesians 3:6:
"the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body,
and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel."
Noteworthy also is the fact that the magi, as the first Gentiles to find Jesus, were also the first Gentiles to receive His salvific grace. As recounted in Matthew 2:12:
"And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way."
He came for you and me. He came for all of us, no matter our race, gender, language, country, or creed. He was publicly humiliated and tortured, endured unimaginable sufferings, and nailed to a cross to die — for us wretched human beings.
The least we can do is to say "Thank You" and return His love, in our puny human fashion.
May the joy of the Epiphany and the peace and love of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you!

Raf Simons' debut as Creative Director of Christian Dior, spearheading the label's Fall 2012 haute couture collection, was one of the most anticipated fashion events of the year. Sharon Stone, Jennifer Lawrence and Marion Cotillard sat front row. So did just about every designer on the planet that matters—Alber Elbaz, Olivier Theyskens, L'Wren Scott, Riccardo Tisci, Diane von Furstenberg, Azzedine Alaïa and Marc Jacobs, among others.
The show was held in a private house on Avenue d'Iena in the tony 11th arrondissement of Paris. Five salons in the mansion were each blanketed in a different kind of flower including white orchids, red roses, blue delphiniums, yellow goldenrods, and pink roses and mixed garden flowers (Christian Dior himself was a noted floral enthusiast). More than a million flowers were used decorate the space—something that impressed one of the toughest critics of them all, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who was overheard from her front-row perch saying, "Isn't this amazing?"
Since Raf Simons was announced as John Galliano's replacement at Christian Dior this April, following a search that lasted more than a year, many wondered how his minimalist aesthetic would translate at Dior. His debut included looks ranging from somber black pantsuits to coat-dresses in cashmere to full skirted gowns truncated at the ankle, in a direct nod to Christian Dior's "New Look."
Most of the New York fashion crowd had nothing but glowing things to say. Cathy Horyn, The New York Times fashion critic and longtime Raf Simons enthusiast, blogged, "In almost every one of the 54 outfits, in almost every detail, Mr. Simons made a connection to the first decade of the house, when Dior himself was at work. He then put those ideas—among them an architectural purity in construction, a preference for pockets, a sense of femininity but also ease—through his own filter."
Designer and CFDA President Diane von Furstenberg took to Twitter to say, "Raf Simons did a superb Dior show! Very Dior! Another talented Belgian!"
Designer L'Wren Scott said, "Thought the show was just very next level Dior. New and exciting. Like all things Raf." Designer Peter Som called the collection "gorgeous, modern, luxurious."
Marie Claire Fashion Director Nina Garcia said the collection is "couture with a modern twist." Vogue Creative Director Grace Coddington told the AFP she "thought it was really beautiful. And my expectations are always very high."
Most of the fashion crowd was intent on looking forward, into the new Christian Dior era, but W magazine's Fashion and Style Director Edward Enninful was one of the few reflecting on Christian Dior's past.
"Thinking of John Galliano today, " he tweeted after the show. "Talk about setting the bar high."

In France, 31,500 people joined the rolls of the unemployed last month. This indicates a greater than 420,000 person increase in the number of unemployed since President Francois Hollande "took office in May 2012."
According to thelocal.fr, "Hollande's socialists are struggling to jumpstart France's stagnant economy and are expected to suffer a major poll failure in the second round of municipal elections on Sunday."
And while "the labour ministry vowed the government would…'intensify' its efforts to fight unemployment" in light of the burgeoning unemployment numbers, UMP party's Jean-Francois Cope said the growing unemployment sends a message. He said last month's addition of 31,500 persons is "yet another warning shot fired at the government."
Cope is asking voters to use Sunday's local elections to "punish" Hollande's government for "denying reality and refusing to hear the anger of the French people."

Firm Profile
Buell Fryer McReynolds Jahed, Inc. (BFMJ) began 2008 by celebrating its 62nd year of providing quality consulting structural engineering services for Lexington, Kentucky and the surrounding region. The company name changed in January of 2006 when Peyman Jahed, PE, SECB was promoted from Vice President to Senior Vice President. Previously the firm had been known as Buell•Fryer•McReynolds since 1994 when two well established competitors, White Walker McReynolds and Buell-Fryer Associates merged. Mr. Ethan A. Buell, PE, SECB, continues to serve as President of BFMJ. Mr. Mike McReynolds, Graduate Engineer, became a Senior Associate in January 2006. He has been with the firm since 1986.
A majority of BFMJ's staff has been with the company for more than 10 years. The average length of time at BFMJ for all its engineers is over 15 years. In addition, Mr. Gyles Winkler, structural designer, celebrated his 51st year with BFMJ. The company name has changed but the staff and quality of consulting structural engineering services has not. The company of BFMJ greatly appreciates the dedication of its employees and it is through their efforts that BFMJ has accomplished thousands of successful projects for its hundreds of satisfied clients.
Business Philosophy
The goal at BFMJ is client satisfaction. We always strive for a close working relationship that encourages communication and creates an atmosphere for creativity and innovation. We understand that structural engineering plays an important role in assisting our architectural clients to turn their vision into a reality. At the same time BFMJ utilizes state of the art computer aided design and drafting software to provide contractors with buildable structures that are both structurally sound and economically efficient.
We work hard to propose economical solutions for the specific requirement of every project. We encourage our project managers and engineers to always ask questions and seek better solutions. Therefore every project in our office benefits from the diverse background of our engineering staff. With our quality assurance programs we require ongoing reviews of design and contract drawings by both the Project Manager(s) and Principals in Charge. This helps eliminate expensive construction procedures and reduces change orders.
During construction administration, BFMJ stresses communication and coordination with the Contractor or Construction Manager and all other design team members. When field issues arise we strive to provide a quick but thorough response to help keep the project on schedule while working to eliminate change orders. BFMJ has provided Special Inspection services on several of their own projects and in doing so have helped to reduce the cost and improve the quality of these services.
BFMJ practices flexibility in the scope of services offered in order to fit client/project budgetary requirements, but hold to a minimum service level to protect the building's structural integrity, client/project liability and public safety. Their goal is to insure that they provide an appropriate structural system, which is both economical and safe but not overly conservative. BFMJ will work hand in hand with the Architect to help create their vision of the building's appearance, functionality and structural performance.
Range of Services
BFMJ provides a full range of Structural Engineering consulting services. These services include complete design of both primary and secondary structural components and construction administration services for all types of new buildings and related structures.
BFMJ is pre-qualified with the State of Kentucky Department of Transportation to provide culvert and bridge design for length of spans of up to 500 feet. BFMJ is also capable of providing analysis of existing structural systems to determine their capacities and whether they are capable to support or need to be reinforced economically to support additional loads from new equipment and/or expansions. BFMJ can provide specialty services including value-engineering studies, cost estimating services and special inspection services.
As part of our normal construction administration services during construction, BFMJ provides site monitoring, including special pre-construction meetings prior to erection/construction of specific structural building components, such as foundations, steel or pre-cast framing, and pre-slab pours. These meetings are usually run by BFMJ's staff with the general contractor and the appropriate sub-contractors in attendance. As an additional service, BFMJ has provided the Owners Special Inspection services as required by the most recent Kentucky Building Code.
Although BFMJ's services are most often provided as consultants to Architectural clients, we also provide a significant percentage of work as the Prime Consultant, especially in the field of forensic investigations and the design and construction administration services for the repairs of both primary and secondary structural systems and their elements, as well as non-structural components such as stone and masonry facades.
On a regular basis, BFMJ has provided expert witness services or has helped in serving as a third party between other engineers in resolving engineering design disputes. It is the trust of other design professionals that BFMJ is asked to perform such services. BFMJ has served its community well for 60 years earning the reputation of a sound engineering practice.

Robert and Ethel Turnbach nee McQuilken in Greenwood Cemetery in Allentown. There's also a memorial for Robert in Grandview Cemetery in Allentown....and, yes, it's the same Robert Turnbach (no memorial for Ethel in Grandview, but that doesn't mean she's not buried there).
I didn't find this second memorial immediately. I found it quite accidentally. I was continuing my research on Robert and Ethel on Ancestry and checked out the Pennsylvania Veterans Burial Cards since I knew from Robert's obituary and his tombstone that he served in World War II. That record states that he's buried in Grandview.
So what do I do now? Where is he really buried? Obviously he was supposed to be buried in Grandview, but did that change? Could the memorial have been created accidentally in the wrong cemetery and the pictures placed in there? The cemetery names are similar enough that a mistake could have easily been made, but where? The best thing for me to do is to try to contact Grandview and see if Robert is buried there and if Ethel is with him. Since Ethel doesn't have a memorial in Grandview I'll wait until I get confirmation for where they are before creating one for her.
Either way I'm taking today to remember Robert and Ethel. Separated from each other too soon, but reunited again. Rest in peace.
*A very special thank you to Chuck Schubert for kind permission to post his photos of the Turnbach tombstones on my blog.

Led by Elyse Bush's 13 kills and Libby Kane's 30 assists, the Yorktown volleyball team swept Edison (25-10, 25-16, 25-18) on Monday. Not only are the Patriots undefeated in National District play since 2007, but also Yorktown swept each of its opponents during the time period.
"That's pretty good," said Yorktown head coach Brittanie Behar, who led the Patriots to a district championship in two of her first three seasons with the team.
Bush also had nine digs and five aces, while Kane added eight digs.
Ashley Rock had nine kills, eight digs and two aces, Katie Rock had six digs, five kills and four aces, Courtney Duran finished with four kills and two aces, and Malaika Bain-Peachey had six digs.
Yorktown hosts Lee at 7:15 p.m. today, and travels to South County for an Oct. 13 match.
Nottingham Returns to Form for YHS
Yorktown quarterback Sam Nottingham, who struggled at times last week during his return from mononucleosis, accounted for three touchdowns and no turnovers during a 53-21 victory over Falls Church on Friday.
After sitting out the first four games of the season, Nottingham came off the bench last week against Hayfield. He accounted for three touchdowns, but turned the ball over four times. The Patriots lost 27-19.
Against Falls Church, the senior Nottingham started and played the entire game. He completed 11 of 14 passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns. He rushed 12 times for 98 yards and another touchdown.
"He's back," Yorktown head coach Bruce Hanson said.
While Hanson said nobody talked about Nottingham's return, one could tell "people are more confident having him back."
The victory improved Yorktown's record to 2-3, 1-1 in the National District.
Khalil Doles rushed nine times for 55 yards and a touchdown for Yorktown. Erik Cardillo finished with 12 carries for 54 yards and two touchdowns and Andrew D'Addario totaled four carries for 10 yards and a touchdown.
C.J. Bartholomew had two catches for 92 yards and a touchdown, while Mike Veith finished with four catches for 56 yards and a score.
The Patriots travel to take on three-time defending district champion Edison (4-1, 2-0) on Friday.
"We're hoping that it's going to be a good game," Hanson said.
Diallo's 109 Not Enough for WHS
Wakefield's Boubacar Diallo rushed for 109 yards in a losing effort Friday as the Warriors dropped to 0-5 with a 47-13 loss to Stuart.
Wakefield scored on a 6-yard run by Vincent Roberts and a 43-yard run from Terry Davis. Drew Powell had a 93-yard kickoff return for a touchdown called back due to a penalty.
The Warriors travel to take on Falls Church on Friday.
Conner Paces O'Connell Ground Game
<bc>William Conner amassed 120 of Bishop O'Connell's 275 rushing yards Saturday as the Knights defeated Archbishop Carroll 23-8.
The victory improved O'Connell's record to 4-1, 1-1 in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference.
Conner scored a pair of rushing touchdowns (40, 1). Joshua Trimble rushed for 75 yards and Greg Gadell totaled 73 and a touchdown in the Knights' double wing offense.
Alex Berdahl led the O'Connell defense with eight tackles.
The Knights travel to take on Gonzaga on Saturday.

What is the political agenda for Hispanics in this country? Asians? How about African-Americans? We often have our political priorities fed to us by political institutions and that is problematic. It is also problematic, however, that those same institutions tell us what the priorities are for entire groups of people whom we might rarely even speak to. It could very well be that the priorities we typically associate with various groups aren't necessarily their chief day to day concerns.
Recently I came across two interesting facts cited in the Washington Post. In the first place, in the past decade alone, Washington, DC has lost more than half of its affordable housing- more than half in one decade alone! Second, 60% of the jobs lost during the "Great Recession" were middle income jobs. That is, jobs paying between $13.83 and $21.13 hourly. Of the recovery jobs, 58% have been low income jobs. When we consider these dynamics collectively, what are we to understand? Are individuals being made poor and helpless by design?

Currently the country is calm and OK for visitors but you probably wouldn't want to stay in Bangkok because the risk for something occuring is high.
The current ruling party has decided to place the brother in law of Thaksin Shinawatra into place as the ruler of Thailand. Not sure how this is going to sit with the followers of "People's Alliance for Democracy" (PAD) as they are very anti-Thaksin.
If you visit Thailand during this time I'd recommend staying out of Bangkok and visiting other areas. If your travel plans aren't a little flexible with the dates you return then I'd recommend you don't come during this time. Protestors have taken to blocking the trains and airports over the last few weeks. Currently that has ended, but they could re-initiate that anytime.
Nothing outside of Bangkok has changed for anyone in the country. Nobody is really worried about a coup at the present time. That could change in an instant as the political state of the country is on edge.
