Stocks and Bonds are up small on no real news. MBS are flat.
The Empire Manufacturing Survey weakened in August, but is still at reasonably strong levels. Industrial Production rose .4% and Manufacturing Production rose 1% in August. Capacity Utilization ticked up to 79.1%. All-in-all, reasonably strong numbers.
Inflation at the wholesale level remained muted in July, with the Producer Price Index rising .1% month-over-month and 1.7% year-over-year. Lower energy prices depressed the headline number – ex food and energy, we were up .2%, still well below what the Fed would like to see.
Consumer Confidence dipped in August, according to the University of Michigan.
Bloomberg has a good article on the contradictory indications in labor market. Initial Jobless Claims as a percent of the population are about .12% of the population, which is the lowest since the late 1960s. Yet the labor force participation rate is stuck at levels we haven't seen since the 1970s. Separately, the JOLT job openings rose to 4.7 million, the highest since early 2001. So you have a situation where the numbers are saying one thing, yet common sense tells you the labor market is still very weak. As a result, the hawks have a much different view of what is going on than the doves. The best summation is from Edmund Phelps, a Columbia University Professor: "The difference of opinion is whether we're in a state that's about as good as it's going to get or whether we're in a very poor state, but with good policies and a bit of luck we'll be able to do a lot better." This is essentially the "speed limit" conundrum – has the Great Recession basically lowered the speed limit for the economy? If it has, then there really isn't much more the Fed can do, and keeping rates at the zero bound is the wrong thing to do. On the other hand, liberal economists want the Fed to keep rates as low as possible for as long as possible, arguing that the Fed can easily deal with inflation if and when it ever comes up.
St. Louis Fed President James Bullard would like to see the Fed start hiking rates in Q1.

Indoor comfort largely depends on the room's temperature. Heating and cooling systems are an essential part of modern buildings. After picking the heater for your building, you need to select a distribution system.
There are various methods of distributing your heat throughout your interiors. Before settling on one, consult a plumber for advice on the best unit for your building, like Expert Plumbing, Heating, Air and Electrical.
Here are some of the typical distribution systems they might recommend:
Forced-Air Systems
These systems use a blower to distribute the heat and cold produced by your central air conditioner. The blower forces the cold or hot air through your home's air ducts. As warm air flows through the ducts into your rooms, cold air flows out of the rooms through other ducts. The main issues with a forced air system are the noise caused by the blower and its possible malfunction.
Gravity Systems
These work on the principle that cold air sinks while hot air rises. In this system, your furnace is located below or near your floor and registers and ducts high up on your walls. Warm air rises to the ceiling and is distributed through the ducts and registers while cold air sinks and returns to the furnace where it is reheated.
Radiant Systems
These systems warm various objects in your room which then radiate the warmth to your room. The common radiators warmed in radiant systems include floors, ceilings, and walls, which in turn heat your interiors. Radiant heating systems are built into concrete slab foundations in modern buildings while in older constructions, the radiators are used with heating systems for hot water.
Choosing the ideal distribution system from the ones above for your building is the first step in your indoor comfort. Getting an expert to install your system is the next step. After installation, routine expert maintenance is vital to keeping your distribution system in good working condition.

You can obtain the dates of the seasons (equinoxes and solstices) and apsides (perihelion and aphelion) of the orbit of the Earth by typing the year (1700-2100) in the space below and clicking on the "Find dates" button.
Use Form A for Universal Time, or time zones in the U.S. or its territories. Use Form B for all other time zones. Both forms are immediately below.
The calculator provides the computed times of the beginning of the seasons as well as Earth's perihelion and aphelion. The times of the equinoxes mark the beginning of spring and fall. The times of the solstices mark the beginning of summer and winter. Definitions of these terms can be found in The Astronomical Almanac Online glossary.
Variation in Times of Perihelion and Aphelion explains why the times of these events appear to vary more than those of the others while The Seasons and the Earth's Orbit discusses how all of these phenomena relate.
Time Zones
For U.S. time zones (Form A), phenomena times are presented in the standard time or daylight time (see below) requested. Standardized time zones were introduced in the U.S. in 1883.
For worldwide time zones (Form B) that require it, the time zone can be entered in hours and a fraction. For example, for locations in India, the time zone may be entered as 5.5 hours east of Greenwich. The time zone field can accommodate up to five characters.
Daylight Time
In accordance with the Uniform Time Act of 1966 and subsequent legislation, daylight time (DST) can be implemented only for U.S. time zones (Form A) from 1967 to the present day.
Application Programming Interface
This data service uses one of our new Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). The API returns data in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format for users who wish to manipulate data into a customized format. For more information on the API, please see the documentation page.

Crime Scene Neanderthal (CSN), launching in beta to the public within our Hall of Human Origins this April, will feature (amongst other things) a virtual Neanderthal flute that visitors can play. Maybe you've seen this type of thing before on your mobile phone: you see a picture of a flute and then, by blowing into the phone's microphone and strategically placing your fingers on the photo, you can actually play the virtual flute.
There is only one flute that has ever been identified as POSSIBLY being of Neanderthal origin. Known as the Divje Babe Flute, it is a cave bear femur pierced by spaced holes that was found in 1995 at the Divje Babe archeological park located near Cerkno in northwestern Slovenia (and currently resides in the National Museum of Slovenia).
The CSN flute, however, will offer visitors more than just a cute interactive of the replica on display in our Halls; the experience is designed to walk visitors through the same evidence-based decision making process scientists use to interpret this remarkable fossil find.
It was easy for us to imagine how we might acquire the photos we needed. But where is one to find audio of a Neanderthal flute? That's where Jelle Atema came into the picture.
Jelle Atema is a Professor of Biology and Adjunct Scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. He is also an accomplished flautist with a particular interest in making Neanderthal flute replicas. Jelle was generous enough to visit the museum this week and demonstrate how this flute might have been played.
Jelle went to both our sound and photography studios to provide us with all the assets required for us to produce the virtual Neanderthal flute. Below are a few videos we made to communicate with our development partners, Geomedia, about how the sound and photos fit together. With Jelle's permission, I am excited to share them with you below.
(While Jelle is an accomplished flautist, I should note we asked him to demonstrate the flutes in the driest possible way, so we could focus on the different ways the original fossil can be reconstructed and how the fingerings produce different pitches. He quite deliberately avoided making music which would have imposed his personal taste on a Neanderthal flute.)
In the first video, Jelle plays the quena-style flute (3 holes), as developed by the Slovenian museum and as seen at AMNH:
In the second video, Jelle plays the fipple-style flute (4 holes), developed by himself using a modern black bear bone provided by a museum:
In the third video, Jelle plays the fipple-style flute (4 holes), developed by himself using a 50-100,000 year old European cave bear fossil provided by a European museum (not that Neanderthals would have used fossils, but still…):
Finally, Jelle plays a lobster. (Did I mention Jelle's research focuses on lobster's fine sense of smell and what they teach us about chemical communication under water?). Why do we want Jelle to play a lobster from his research collection? To demonstrate his point that even if Neanderthals did not MANUFACTURE musical instruments that doesn't mean they couldn't have PLAYED the ones provided by nature:
We can't wait to see next month how it all comes together and how museum visitors respond to the experience. You can find more photos from the visit here.

LEGO Disney Minifigures Series 2 – CMF Draft!
Assuming a LEGO Minifigures Disney Series 2 came out in 2019, what would the minifigures be? I look at characters from Zootopia, The Incredibles, Frozen, Beauty and the Beast, DuckTales, and more as potential candidates.

CMF Draft #3
1) No number spam (as in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc). This is annoying and usually has NOTHING to do with the video. Also no "I'M EARLY" jokes. Those, again, have nothing to do with the video and are rarely constructive. Or comment spam, like "Legend has it nobody can like this comment!"
2) No advertising your channel or giveaways. That's not the right way to get viewers.
3) Don't be offensive. I'm keeping this one vague for a reason. Keep everything PG-rated, not even PG-13.
4) Don't spoil movies that just came out in theaters (as in, within a one month window).
5) Treat others with respect.
6) No political discussion, please. I'll remove any comments that break these rules. This is NOT because I'm an advocate for censorship, but rather because I like this to be a family friendly channel.
If it's super bad, you'll be banned. Thanks, and that's all!

Kenya has many nationwide parks, recreation reserves, non-public sanctuaries, conservancies and main cities which do appeal to vacationers and buyers. Maria Chin Abdullah, the chairwoman of professional-democracy group Bersih, was not allowed to travel to South Korea to obtain an award, the group stated. Except for these benefits, one has to confess that it is fun to travel outside your physique, to visit locations you have not been earlier than and to seek out that internal peace everybody craves. A contour travel pillow will prove to be a very useful reward as a result of it's designed to align your neck and backbone while resting.
Some people can get the details of limousine service through Limo taxi is a sedan or lusury car, once you travel in this taxi you then really feel very comfortable. Do not wait till something breaks in your car to exchange it, particularly if you end up traveling for the vacations. No matter your final destination, even the most fundamental travel guides can embody the form of information that may make your trip a very memorable expertise.
Here are some of the reactions I steadily face and why I select to travel with out my husband no matter others opinions. Chinese language travelers, for instance, tend to include in their vacation planning a shopping finances, famous Markus Stauss, advertising director of travel retail and export worldwide for Coty Inc. A few of these agents could not only involve in air travel however by sea or rail journeys with huge number of choices out there which incorporates routes and classes.
Double up digitally… Again in the day, most travel businesses advised you to keep copies of your tickets, travel itinerary and different essential paperwork in your individual always. Teaching languages and specifically English in another country is simply as pleasing profession for you as it's your students, and it'll will let you travel the world with ease. The seashore at Pattaya is actually not very spectacular when in comparison with the seashores discovered on Phuket or Samui however the beach is not the primary reason why Pattaya is among the hottest travel locations in Thailand.
Take into thoughts this example where there's a family of 4 that engages in a travel bundle for a two week journey so they find yourself taking a coverage amounting to a hundred and thirty four thousand dollars on a complete travel insurance coverage policy with provisions for accidental demise and dismemberment, emergencies and medical bills, flight delays and cancellations, and misplaced belongings.

Getting old is hell…is what you're supposed to say around age forty-five. Apparently I'm the oldest twenty-something I know. By the time eleven o'clock rolls around I'm getting ready for bed. In fact, last night I went to bed at ten and got up at six and it felt nothing short of amazing.
The problem with all of this is that life seems to happen between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. Sadly, I'm usually asleep by then. Late Night has asked me to hangout every night this week, forcing me to decline. Though we live on the same avenue, we're roughly sixty blocks apart and I'm not up for dropping cash on cabs and the train takes too long in the evening. So we're at a stand still.
This is also how he got the name, Late Night. I never hear from him until after ten. The fact that I reply to his text messages gets me some credit, but then I feel almost bad because it seems like I'm playing hard to get. There's no playing going on, it's just not possible to win when the choice is you or my bed – the bed always wins. He could come over here, except he has a dog. That means he'd need to leave in the middle of the night, which may not be terrible but I can understand why it's not appealing.
This week's attempts will come to an end as I have to head off to Philly for a 5K. Better luck next week, Late Night.

Installation of the rebar has begun. Holes were drilled in the foundation and rebar was used to attach the new foundation to the original structure.
The contractor was able to accurately mark the positioning of the rebar thanks to the application of "trash concrete" (see previous post). Clever engineering as the rebar never rests on the soil. Up next: Completion of the rebar installation in preparation for concrete. George

Definition and classification of financial risks
Under investment in the financial market should be understood investment, certain costs in the securities market, carried out with the purpose of obtaining income, profits. Of course investments are divided into:
1) direct - investments in real assets (production), which is involved in the management of the investor;
2) portfolio (financial) - investments in stocks, bonds and other securities giving the right to receive income from the property.
3) real - investments in land, real estate, machinery and equipment, spare parts, etc. (Together with the cost of working capital);
4) Project - loans from actual or potential owner for the implementation of profitable innovation project.
In general, the risk in business operations - is an economic category, reflecting the degree of success (failure) of the company in achieving its goals, taking into account the influence of controllable and uncontrollable factors. Transactions in financial instruments are always associated with risk.
Financial risks - this is speculative risks.
In general, the financial risk as a measure of economic and social uncertainty can be characterized by:
• largest - high, medium and low;
• the degree of acceptability, acceptable risk, when part of the income lost, critical (local) risk, which is completely lost income and there is a need to compensate the loss, the catastrophic risk of a total loss of property;
• Object - the risk of an entrepreneur, business, bank, insurance company, ie separate legal entities and individuals;
• the type of activity - the risk of production, mediation, trade, transport, consulting, insurance, security and other activities;
• the economic content - pure risk as the objective possibility of incurring losses (no results) and speculative risk as a subjective possibility of a positive or negative result of certain activities;
• the nature - operational, inflation, credit, interest rate, foreign exchange. Operational risk is associated with the error or the wrong organization, the wrong choice of the method of any financial transaction.
Inflation risk is determined by the degree of accuracy of forecasting inflation and its effect on the results of financial and economic activity. Credit risk as the risk of non-payment of the loan amount and interest thereon. Interest rate risk arises from changes in interest rates on the credit facilities that are provided. Currency risks are possible in the event of changes in exchange rates:
• on a sectoral and territorial basis - general economic, industry, country, regional, and so on.
The following types of risk:
• A systematic, there is the risk of financial market crisis;
• patchy, there is a risk the combination of all types of risk associated with particular financial instruments;
• selective - the risk of the wrong choice of securities for investment in the formation of the portfolio;
• Time - the risk issue, purchase or sale of a security at the wrong time, which results in the loss;
• legislative changes (subject to change terms of the issue, it may be considered invalid, etc.);
• Liquidity - the risk associated with the possibility of losses due to the implementation of the security changes in the assessment of its quality;
• inflationary risk that high inflation income earned investors on financial instruments depreciate faster than the rise, the investor makes a real loss.
Systematic risk is the economic and political situation in the country and the world, rising resource prices, obscherynochnoy falling prices of financial assets. The category of systematic risks include interest rate risk, the risk of falling prices and general market risk of inflation. Interest rate risk is particularly relevant in terms of inflation. General market risk of falling prices is associated with a simultaneous drop in the prices of all securities in circulation on the market. This is particularly true of transactions in shares. The degree of risk is different for shares of different issuers. Inflation risk due to changes in the purchasing power of money and leads to the fact that even in the safest investment securities could cause damage. This type of risk exists in all countries, that is inflation - a global trend. In developed countries it is considered normal annual inflation rate of 3%.
Unsystematic risk associated with the financial condition of a particular issuer of the securities. His assessment requires some effort on the part of market intermediaries of financial assets, and on the part of investors. The category of non-systematic risks include liquidity and industry.
Liquidity risk - the risk associated with the possibility of losses due to the implementation of the security changes to assess their quality. Liquidity risk - now one of the most popular in Ukraine.
Industry risk - the risk associated with a specific field. From a position of this kind of risk all industries can be classified into: a) subject to cyclical fluctuations (the industry of construction materials, equipment, etc.) and b) are less susceptible to cyclical fluctuations (the production of consumer goods and food products).
Factors that affect the financial risk and impact on the level, can be divided into two groups: objective and subjective.
Objective factors - those that are not directly dependent on the actions of the management company (the firm), but should be considered in the preparation and decision-making, such as inflation, the actions of competitors, political and economic crises, environmental requirements, customs benefits, preferential treatment .
Group of subjective factors characterizes the enterprise (firm) and internal conditions of its operation, in particular the productive capacity, the availability of highly skilled workers and managerial staff, the organization of the company, the availability of cooperative relationships, the level of technology, etc.

1. Why does hinduism have so many gods?
2. Do Hindus believe in Reincarnation?
3. What is Karma?
4. Why do Hindus worship cows?
This dicussion was then followed by a very good presentation from Achint Rai and Sanjayu Elangovan on "Rituals and their significance". Given that the week before everyone attended the Diwali pooja, students shared their views of the Diwali Pooja rituals.

Making His Mark
http://lisleslivres.blogspot.com/2013/01/blog-tour-review-making-his-mark-by.htmlAuthor Interview: http://lisleslivres.blogspot.com/2013/01/blog-tour-author-interview-jennah-scott.htmlCharacters: Alexis: She is more outgoing, being friends with a bunch of guys. She puts up a facade, but she's actually very sensitive. The trait that I like about her a lot is her kindness, not just to Bo, but everyone. She's an elementary school teacher, which tells you a little something about her patient personality.Bo: Bo definitely has his moments of being sweet, but he acts really dumb sometimes. There's no other way to say it. He's lucky that Alexis overlooks this. regarding him, the one trait that I liked was his loyalty to the people he loves and that he wants to make them proud. I appreciate that diversity of these characters. It's refreshing to read about Native Americans.Plot: *Spoilers*I'm pretty sure that epic kiss happened in the 2nd chapter. I was utterly confused. How can you go from being enemies to kissing each other? Where's the build-up for the climactic kiss? Along the same lines, it seemed like Bo was in love with Alexis extremely fast. The pacing of this book was way too quick!! I realize that this is adult fiction, but wow, this book is largely made up of sex scenes! Now, I'm totally for a few here and there to build up tension and anticipation, but that got lost for me because of the frequency.I was expecting Alexis' reasons for not wanting to get involved with Bo to be more dramatic than they were. I guess I read too much fiction involving drama,trauma, death and other serious issues, so this plot seemed very plain and disappointing. Overall, I had issues with the plot. I thought it was less than mediocre.Writing: I haven't been addressing this too often, but I felt the need to say that the D was neglected. That's right, there were endless diction errors. I don't know if I received the finished product, but the horror! Crystal, captious Crystal, would die! I get that self-published books might have errors, but these took away from the story. I cringed at the book when I found a mistake, and unfortunately that was often. Now, I'm going to feel really embarrassed if there are any typos in this review.Cover: I was surprised to see such clean, ink-free models for a book surrounding the topic of tattoos. I expected Bo to at least have one. Would I recommend this to a friend? No, I'm sorry. I feel terrible for giving a bad review on a blog tour, but I must be candid.

Blush Bodysuit // Levi's Denim Skirt // Sheila Fajl Everybody's Favorite Hoop in Brushed Gold // Daniel Wellington Watch in Rose Gold // Kendra Scott Elton Cuff in Rose Gold // Sam Edelman Yaro Ankle Strap Sandal // Crossbody Saddle Bag
I wanted to share with you all a quote that has been near and dear to my heart lately. "Notice people who are happy for your happiness, and sad for your sadness. They're the ones who deserve special places in your heart". It is so easy to get caught up in everyday life that it is easy to lose focus on those who care about us the most. I want everyone to remember how special they are. We are all humans and we all make mistakes. The people who love us in our lows, well, those are the people who deserve to be with us at our best. Also, remember to look at those around you when things are going well in your life and remember who was truly happy for you. Those are the people who truly care about you. Hold onto those people tight.
Sorry for my little sappy moment but I just had to write some stuff that has been on my heart lately. Those of you that know me well know that I am a very heart felt person and I wear my emotions on my sleeve. It can be a good thing and a bad thing but most of all a good thing. When I love, I love very hard and I love very deep. And when I hurt, I feel those emotions the same.
On a different note, how absolutely amazing is this blush colored bodysuit?? I love how different it is. You don't see many bodysuits that look like this. Blush is my all time favorite color so that made me love it even more. I am so into denim skirts right now and I finally found a light colored one that I love so I decided to pair this bodysuit with that and I think the outfit looks perfect together. This look is something I would wear out with my girlfriends. It's the perfect amount of sexy and fun. I also love the baring back. I almost think this bodysuit would make the cutest one piece bathing suit if it were the right material. Am I right??
I hope everyone had an amazing start to the week!

Tourists spend in the aircraft from 8 minutes to 19 hours
Austrian airlines Group Air on Wednesday, November 2, made its first flight on the shortest international destination in the world. Her plane, came from a Swiss airport St. Gallen-Altenrhein, after only 8 minutes after the flight landed in Friedrichshafen in Germany. The flight is operated twice a day.
The route length of 20 km runs through lake Constance, located on the border of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the fare is 40 €. Observers note: this flight is a matter of much debate due to the fact that spent a disproportionately large amount of fuel for such a short journey – in the air the plane is only 4 minutes. In addition, the public sharply criticizes the airline for the noise and the harm to the environment.
It would seem "absurd" 8-minute journey actually makes sense as part of a long journey to Cologne, local media reported. At the same time to overcome this distance is around the lake: by car the trip will take about an hour by train or two hours.
Previously, the most was a short international flight length of 10 minutes, which from Vienna to Bratislava performs airline FlyNiki. And among the domestic destinations is officially the shortest in the world is the airline Loganair, a route which passes between two small Islands in Scotland. The flight duration is exactly 2 minutes, and the distance between these Islands barely exceeds the length of the runway at one of the local airports.
By the way, the longest non-stop flight is on route Newark Singapore, it regularly commits Airbus Singapore Airlines. Depending on weather conditions the flight can take anywhere from 18 hours and 40 minutes to 19 hours. During this time the passengers cross the distance in 15 of 345 km, which is almost equal to the length of Eurasia from West to East.

Varian's birthday was on April 3. We celebrated his birthday in two parts.
Part I: Day of nothing but movies, relaxation and fine foods
Part II: . Australian Adventures
This entry started getting crazy long so I'm breaking it up into two posts. So here's part one:
His birthday was over Easter Weekend, so for the most part the whole weekend was a celebration. So the day before Part I- I cooked my head off in between taking care of Jaren who was almost 3 months old, but at this point believe it or not, was very much underweight and getting extra meals to see if we could fatten him up. So it was pretty intense to get things ready. I wanted to make huge meals of Varian's favorite things. Here was the menu:
BREAKFAST in BED:
Claire's mighty meat crepes, soy and linseed toast, fresh squeezed orange juice
Potatoe Salad (like his mom makes it), Deli Sandwiches
Lemon Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Garlic Beans
Carrot Cake with Creamed Cheese Frosting (I made 2 actually, initially to be a double layered round cake, but instead served one that night and one the next day for Part II)
I am a slow cook and am still learning. I was recently inspired by the movie "Julie and Julia" in both blogging and cooking - but I kept reciting to myself "never apologize" which the famous chef, Julia Child, says in that movie. This struck home with me because I do find that I'm often apologizing when I cook food. "Oh I think I added too much of this, or too little of that, or overcooked this"....etc. I also keep thinking of that conference talk Elder Uchdorf gave a few conferences ago about how the thing he cooked best was burnt toast and how his wife who was a gourmet cook would often apologize and criticize her cooking.
[This is a picture of us in front of JULIA CHILD'S KITCHEN at the Smithsonian Museum in DC - cool, huh?!
I didn't leave a stick of butter]And for the most part things did turn out quite lovely. And in the end I kept my promise to myself and didn't apologize. I never apologized that the sausages I bought were the nasty Aldi's one that tasted like lamb, that the lemon chicken recipe (first time I've ever marinated meat) turned out to be so lemony that your face puckered and he happened to get the biggest piece that sadly was a little pink in the middle, or that the garlic in the beans slightly burned. Nope, no apologies at all. :) But I have to admit that overall it was a pretty delicious and amazing food day and the fact that I pulled it all off again whilst taking care of the baby and spoiling Varian I think was quite monumental. :) [ps: isn't "whilst" a great word?]
So going into this day of crazy cooking, knowing I'd have to get it all ready around nursing and taking care of Jaren and trying to spoil Varian, I knew that some things may not work out perfectly and that it shouldn't matter and I should just serve it and be positive. NEVER APOLOGIZE! (At least in the cooking sense).
I didn't take pictures of the food I made (do you find yourself wanting to take pictures sometimes just because you know you'll want to blog about it?) except for the cake as I was getting it ready. And oh my heavens it turned out divine!
So Spoil-Varian-on-his-Birthday-Part I worked very well. Stay posted for Part II.

Shad Collins
Lester Rallingston "Shad" Collins (June 27, 1910 – June 6, 1978) was an American jazz trumpet player, composer and arranger, who played in several leading bands between the 1930s and 1950s, including those led by Chick Webb, Benny Carter, Count Basie, Lester Young, Cab Calloway and Sam "The Man" Taylor.
Life and career[edit]
Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, the son of a clergyman, he acquired the nickname of "Shad" in his teens, and by the late 1920s had joined Charlie Dixon's band. He also performed with pianist Eddie White, before joining Chick Webb's band in 1931. In the mid-1930s he played in Teddy Hill's band, with whom he toured in Britain and Europe, before joining the Count Basie Orchestra.[1] He performed in Basie's band at the From Spirituals to Swing concerts in New York City in 1938 and 1939.[2] He also worked in the late 1930s in bands led by Benny Carter, Lester Young and Don Redman, among others.
In 1941, he replaced Dizzy Gillespie in Cab Calloway's band, and remained with Calloway until 1943 and again between 1944 and 1946. He also worked and recorded in the 1940s with Oran "Hot Lips" Page. In the 1950s, he played in Jimmy Rushing's band, and with Sam "The Man" Taylor, when he developed a style more suited to the rhythm and blues music then popular. He worked more on a part-time basis during the 1960s.[1]
Collins was also known as a composer and arranger, responsible for the frequently recorded tune "Rock-a-Bye Basie" among others.[1]

Our Search for an Affordable Boat Trailer
...and what we learned in the process
Oh, the days of boat trailer hunting... how I do not miss them in the least! Buying a boat with a trailer may be more expensive, but it definitely has it's perks (for instance, you get to keep your sanity). Luckily- FINALLY!- we did find a trailer that suited our needs for our Tanzer 22.
In our situation, we needed a trailer that we could drive on the road as necessary (although we don't plan on taking it long distances). We are also dry-sailing out boat year-round, so the trailer is its permanent home when we are not in the water. Thus, we needed something quite sturdy and reliable.
As you may know, trailers are often built specifically for specific boats. So going on a search for a trailer to haul our Tanzer 22 was not easy in many regards. We were also on a bit of a timeline, since we needed to get our newly purchased boat from one location to another by the haul out date in October (we had about 2 weeks in total).
The things we needed to find in a trailer were as follows:
- Single Axle: We needed to find a sturdy single axle trailer mostly because of all the maneuvering we have to do at our sailing club (as I said before, we are dry-sailing the boat, and will need to bring it from its 'parking spot' to the crane on a regular basis)
- The right size (and load bearing capacity): We needed the trailer to have dimensions specific to our boat. This is somewhat of an obvious point, however, we did come across in our search a couple trailers that in theory would have been the right size, but not the correct load bearing capacity. So, it was important to check the specs carefully (according to the manufacturer, a Tanzer 22 weighs approx. 3,000 lbs)
- Ability to go a longer distance: We did find some trailers in our search that would support the boat, however, they were more yard trailer style and thus would not be wise to transport our boat on regular roads. The sailboat needed to travel about 60 km (40 miles) on its first journey to Toronto, and we wanted to be able to tow it in the future as needed. Some kind of road suspension was a must!
With these specifications, it was near impossible to find a trailer in a short amount of time (without a boat attached... one is enough for now, thanks!) If money were no object, we could have sprung for a new one, but that would have been well over $3,000.... 3 times more than what we paid for the boat. That was not a possibility!
Finally, we found something online that we were hoping would work. With our fingers crossed, we did the measurements. It was a trailer that was made for a Shark 24, a similar sized keel boat. We couldn't find ANYWHERE online where someone had put a Tanzer 22 on a similar type of trailer. It was quite nerve wrecking to make this purchase without knowing for sure that it would work, since we bought it used (read: nonreturnable!) But luckily, it all worked out. And now we feel better knowing this information is now out there in cyberspace, in case someone else happens to find themselves in the same stressful predicament!
Since we hadn't quite realized the trailer would jump in price from the expected $250 to $800 (which is still an amazing deal, considering the other options out there), Angie's parents chipped in as an early Christmas gift to help with a large part of the cost. The only stipulation that was given was that Don (Angie's step-dad) got to name the trailer... so it will be sporting the name 'Wing Nut' in the near future! We are very grateful for their generous contribution to this important purchase.
Here are a couple pictures below of our wonderful new trailer, that we hope is with us for a long time.

Round shaped faces need hair styles that slim the face.
For short to medium length hairstyles, try an off center part to break up the center line of your face.
Creating volume at the top of your head will help lengthen the face and narrow the roundness of your face.
Your cheeks are the widest part of your face so avoid hairstyles that accentuate that part of your face.
• Short hairstyles that are swept back from the face
• Off center parts
• Hairstyles that allow you to create fullness and volume at the crown
• Parting your hair in the center
• Hairstyles that end at the cheeks
• Blunt cut bangs
• Hairstyles with too much fullness at the sides of the face
Examples of round faces

Director | firstname.lastname@example.com
Since the day we first opened, I've always considered Mill Street to be a building full of grandmas and grandpas. In fact, I've had four family members live here—my two grandmothers, a great aunt and a great uncle. I was hired by Mill Street back in 1995 to help develop our assisted living program and am a certified assisted living professional and a licensed MN nursing home administrator. Community service is important to me and I'm actively involved in the Fergus Falls Fish and Game Club, Pheasants Forever, Sertoma along with numerous health and wellness initiatives through Lake Region Healthcare. My wife Lori and our children, Derek, Ryan and Shelby, have called Fergus Falls home since 1992.
Jeani Trosvig
Activities and community relations coordinator | firstname.lastname@example.com
I consider myself to have the best job at Mill Street. I love being able to spend the majority of my time with our wonderful tenants. As Mill Street Residence's activities and community relations coordinator, I plan the social and recreational needs of our tenants, organize outings and intergenerational activities with schoolchildren of all ages, and give tours to families and prospective tenants. My husband Tom and I are Fergus Falls natives and we live just outside of town with our three daughters, Madeline, Annie and Tessa. I've had the privilege of working at Mill Street Residence since 1996…oh, how the years have flown!

I spent the next 7 years living in the Twin Cities before moving back to Fergus Falls with my wife in 2007. I graduated from the M-State RN program in 2009 and have spent the last 8 years at Pioneer Care in a variety of roles, most recently as a Clinical Coordinator. When I'm not at work I enjoy golfing, fishing, watching the Twins and Packers, working out at 9Round and traveling with my wife, Lindsey. I really enjoy working in a caring profession where I can help others and I am excited to do that as part of the Mill Street team!
Jess Noling
Business office coordinator | firstname.lastname@example.com
I help manage the Business Office which includes taking care of tenants' monthly statements, answering phone calls and inquiries and being the first smiling face everyone sees as they come through our front doors.

Deb Forstner
Chaplain | email@example.com
It is important to the team at Mill Street that the spiritual needs of our tenants are met. As a Lake Region Healthcare Chaplain, I am blessed with the opportunity to minister to the people of Mill Street. At Mill Street, we offer weekly Bible Studies led by staff and community clergy, and nondenominational worship/communion services twice per month. Catholic Mass and Catholic Communion are also alternately offered every month by local clergy. As Mill Street's chaplain, I hope to visit individually with tenants, as I know I will benefit greatly from these conversations, and I hope in turn I can help support tenants through grief/loss and other challenges of life. I am an Advance Care Planning Facilitator, so I can help tenants and their families with education about and completion of Health Care Directives. I can also serve as a bridge by contacting community clergy/congregations as requested. I was born in Fargo, and spent most of my adult life in St. Cloud. I am certified through the National Association of Catholic Chaplains and am a graduate of St. John's School of Theology in Collegeville, MN. I am happy to call Fergus Falls home now, as there truly is so much to do here! I am single, but kept busy by two very energetic rescue dogs.

Bonnie Gull Cafe
55-57 Exmouth Market London EC1R 4QL
Bonnie Gull Cafe is the spin off, or "sister" restaurant to the Fitzrovia branch. This location is much larger and …Rating:
Bonnie Gull Cafe is the spin off, or "sister" restaurant to the Fitzrovia branch. This location is much larger and in a hip little section on Exmouth Market near that cool Brazilian bar and Momo's. The Soho branch is literally hidden away on a grey empty corner, so the location is a much needed improvement. I also like how this one has little outside café tables which seems more "seaside".
London is going a little crazy with the fresh clean seafood themed spots. I am not complaining, I love it, but it makes the stakes high for the guys opening them. We have the classics- like Scott's and JSheekey, and even the Cow over in Notting Hill. Then we have the ever expanding Wright's Brothers and of course Hawksmoor Air. So there is quite a bit of competition. The other problem is, all of this kind of same- day- fresh- seafood themed places come at a hefty price, so there is not a lot of room for forgiving. And with competition high, it makes it even more so. I am sad to say it, but Bonnie Gull Café just seemed like a missed attempt to do more of what a lot of others are already doing.
I found the dining room to be quite cold in feeling, particularly for a "seaside" experience. It is not unpleasant, but it seems somehow to lack any soul. Also, the acoustics were almost unbearable. We had been seated next to a large group of cackling women, some kind of hen do I gathered, and we could barely hear ourselves speak. But then they also had some sort rather wanky music on the loud speaker, which made it seem like we were in "Costa" having lattes, not an expensive seafood Café. The nautical theme obviously was fitting and not offensive in anyway, but it struck me as un-genuine and a touch "went to hardware store and painted the walls myself" kind of thing.
Our waitress, who was very lovely…a bit "Amelie"-ish and with a big winning smile, approached us, and definitely brought some much needed warmth our way. She was very knowledgable about the oysters and the menu.
We started with two cocktails, the Ginger Julip and a classic Negroni. The Julip was very gingery and very icey, but the mint took over. It was served in very cool silver glass though, I just wished it wasn't so mint tea-ish. Not bad, just seemed a little sloppy in deliverance. My date's negroni was good though, classic, bitter, and strong. The wine list was rather nice, lots of good choices in the medium price range, which was refreshing against the high prices of the food. We had a lovely Burgundy for 36 quid, which I felt was a very good price for such a big developed wine.
We decided to try the oysters, as this can sometimes be the rule of thumb for places like this. First, however, we were given a basket of rather stale soft bread, served with no olive oil or butter. It seemed a little sad and a precursor of what was to come. If you cant do it right, alleviate. They had a selection of five different varieties, and we chose the Dorset Blue Rock, the Portland Pearl AAA Rock, and the Porthilly Rock. The Dorset and Portland Oysters were massive and almost made my date choke. Literally. They were both a bit on the bitter side as well, quite mineraly backnotes that was overwhelming. Oysters this size are better dressed as it is just too big of a mouthful to go through…But I did rather like the Porthilly, as they were smaller and much more delicate with a nutty and creamy taste that was both elegant and oceanic.
Next came our starters. We had the trout, which was perfectly cooked and everything you want it to be- soft, salty, and smoky. But somehow it was too simple within the dish as a whole. There were some bland white beans, a bit of steamed spinach and a touch of oil. No herbs, no sauce, no imagination. And it made me bored. We also had the mackerel. First of all the skin was not crispy, which is always a disappointment when it come to this kind of fish, as the oily skin of mackerel is the best part. Here it was soggy and ignored. Not to mention the fish was also undercooked. The seasoning was simply non-existent. There was an oval mound of mackerel tartar on the dish as well, which seemed like a mushy afterthought, although it looked nice enough. It just had no flavor. Mackerel is big and bold and in your face no? The dish itself was very fresh, and had a sort of elegance to it…but like the dining room, it lacked character, excitement, soul…some simple seasoning and fresh herbs would have really lent a hand.
We shared our main, which was the Grey Mullet. You don't see this on the menus much and it is in season, so I thought I would have a go. Again, zero seasoning. I understand things in a "seaside" café should be simple, but salt and pepper can and should be used. Once we added some salt, the fish perked up quite a bit. There was a lovely sprinkling of almonds, which gave it a nice texture and crunch. It was seated on a bed of potato mash, which just tasted like a baked potato- mashed. Then there was some sort of tasteless spinach slash sauce to the side, which was creamy but again very bland. The dish just needed some love. We had a side to go with the main, and my date chose the slaw. It was slightly tangy a touch of vinegar and oil, but no mayo. It was white cabbage with bits of sea greens scattered about. Seasoning and Spirit a far distant cousin. Yawn.
We finished with two very bitter espressos, which is always irritating, and then asked for the check. For two starters, two cocktails, one main, one side, and a bottle of good wine, we paid about 70 pounds a head. I just found it quite overpriced…for simple uncomplicated badly cooked dishes? I would like to give Bonnie Gull another chance- particularly because I had had such a lovely experience at the tiny "sister" outlet. But I am not sure if this past experience was a witness to growing pains or perhaps it's just a lack of understanding that simple food does not have to lack in soul and seasoning.
