Stars skittled out for 18 as St George's run riot
St George�s captain Macai Simmons returned from Malaysia with Bermuda to lead his team to their first wins in the Open League this weekend, including dismissing Western Stars for 18 at Wellington Oval yesterday in a match that was completed in only two hours and one minute and was over by 12.15pm.
Stars, with ten men, won the toss and decided to bat. The decision quickly backfired as Simmons and new-ball partner Onias Bascome, also playing his first game of the season, had them reeling at seven for three, before Bascome ripped the heart out of the Stars middle order with a hat-trick in his fifth over.
Bascome claimed wickets on his second, third and fourth balls when he had veteran Andre Manders caught, bowled Wendell White and then had Seion Darrell caught as Stars went from 13 for three to 13 for six.
Stars were dismissed in only 14.4 overs, with Bascome finishing with five for 13 from seven overs, while Simmons had equally impressive figures of three for six from seven overs with five maidens.
First change Treadwell Gibbons, playing against his former team, took a wicket on his fourth ball to end the innings.
No Stars batsmen reached double figures, with captain Seth Campbell their high man with five not out in the tail end.
St George�s took 4.1 overs to wrap up the victory, replying with 20 for one after Gibbons was dismissed off the fourth ball of the first over before Detroy Smith, who scored nine, and Temiko Wilson, with seven, completed the easy win.
�If feels good, just bringing up ourselves for the 50 overs,� Simmons said. �We bowled well, just held our line and kept it there.
�The main competition is the 50 overs. It feels good to be back, there is a nice vibe going in the team and we just want to carry it on.�
On Saturday, Simmons picked up four wickets while Gibbons scored 69 on his debut as St George�s beat Bailey�s Bay by 69 runs at Sea Breeze Oval. Sent in, St George�s scored 159 in 35 overs with Gibbons facing 85 balls and hitting five fours and three sixes.
Gibbons shared in an opening stand of 55 in 9.5 overs with Detroy Smith, who was first out for 26 off 35 balls. Bay battled back after turning to veteran spinners Derrick Brangman and Rodney Trott, their fourth and fifth bowlers used. Brangman, the left-armer, claimed five for 52 from 12 overs and Trott three for 28 off nine overs of off-break as the last nine St George�s wickets went down for 104 runs.
Bay � who, like St George�s were also fielding a number of youngsters � fell well short in their reply, all out for just 90 in 28.5 overs. Simmons took four for 23 from 11.5 overs with three maidens for St George�s.
Father and son Herbie and Oronde Bascome provided ample support at the other end, with Oronde claiming three for 19 from four overs and Herbie two for 21 off ten.
Opener Pierre Smith was Bay�s high man with 52 from 82 balls, including six fours and a six. No other batsmen reached double figures for the home team.

Archives of Manitoba
Coordinates: 49°53′21″N 97°08′54″W / 49.88915°N 97.14833°W Archives of Manitoba is the official government archive of the Canadian province of Manitoba. It is located at 200 Vaughan Street in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
The Hudson's Bay Company Archives are part of the Archives of Manitoba.[1]
The archives also holds the papers of Manitoba premier Sir Hugh John Macdonald, son of Canadian prime minister Sir John A. Macdonald.[2]
Hudson's Bay Company Archives[edit]
The Hudson's Bay Company Archives (HBCA) are thousands of mainly hand-written records and maps of the Hudson's Bay Company employees for hundreds of years.[3][4] This important archive is one of Canada's national treasures, and is a part of the United Nations Memory of the World project. The purchase of Rupert's Land from the Hudson's Bay Company is the largest land purchase in Canada's history. Rupert's Land referred to the vast water drainage basin that flows into Hudson Bay. The water basin includes the areas now known as Manitoba, Saskatchewan, parts of Alberta, Northern Ontario, Minnesota, and North Dakota. The lakes and rivers were used for travel and trading, and they stretch from Ontario to Alberta, and far south into what is now the United States.
The Hudson's Bay Company's records provide the original written history of the HBC since its inception in 1670 by Prince Rupert and others. Henry Hudson was the first European to explore and map the shores of the great bay. The first Hudson's Bay Company trading forts were built along the southern shores of Hudson Bay to provide the shortest trade route to Europe from the middle of North America. Rupert's Land consisted of the vast watershed of rivers that drained into Hudson Bay which gave access to the far western and central parts of North America. The abundance of archival documents provide the original written history of the fur trade, North American exploration and mapping, native peoples, treaty making, and the original development of the Nation of Canada. The thousands of documents supply important knowledge about the growth of the HBC's retail empire that led to one of the largest land purchases in world history, along with the original settlements of Western Canada. The archives protect the original written documents that detail the European exploration and settlement of the western frontier. Many of these documents provide detailed descriptions of native groups, forts, rivers, lakes, animals, populations, and the difficult working conditions of fur traders.
The Hudson's Bay Company Archives makes the records available and accessible to many people locally, nationally, and internationally. Their database can be searched online, and some documents are now available online.

Chapter One
Shrouded in the dark, and half hidden behind the thick trunk of an oak tree, Russell Ryan Hankelburg carefully aligned the trajectory of his arrow to the exposed neck of Master Han. Steady, Russell reminded himself in response to the adrenaline pounding through his veins. No point in acting like a human. He wasn't one. Han had made sure of that, and now the bastard would die for it.
For over two years, through hot, humid jungle and over cold, windblown hills, Russell had tracked his prey. Finally, in the next few seconds it would all be over. His quest for revenge. The culmination of all his rage, the vindication for all he had lost, and the sole purpose for his sorry undead existence.
The clearing where Han stood was about fifty yards away, and a dozen guards stood around the perimeter, four of them holding torches. The flames licked at the overcast night sky and flickered off the polished gold of Master Han's mask. How many times had Russell envisioned ripping the ridiculous piece of metal off the evil vampire's head? In the best-case scenario, he imagined tearing it off before delivering the final blow so he could watch Han's face as the Master Bastard realized death was only seconds away.
What good was revenge if it wasn't acknowledged? Han needed to know that it was Russell who would end his life and turn him to dust.
Han stood at the far side of the clearing, outside the wooden palisade of a camp in northern Myanmar. He was wearing a black Kevlar vest over his red silk robe to protect his heart. If Russell's arrow failed to pierce the vest enough to kill Han, the bastard would simply teleport away.
Fortunately there was more than one way to kill a vampire. So Russell aimed at the neck instead of the heart, hoping that a ripped carotid artery would incapacitate Han enough to keep him from escaping. Then Russell could teleport straight to him, rip off the mask, and sever Han's head with one final swing of his sword.
The dozen armed guards were probably supersoldiers, mutated by Han's demon buddy, Darafer, and they were going to be a problem. Even so, Russell couldn't take them out first. Their deaths would alert Han, and the cowardly cretin would teleport away like the last few times Russell had come close to killing him.
Russell gritted his teeth with impatience. So close, but still unable to shoot. Han was standing next to the kidnapped dragon shifter, practically hugging him as he taught the young captive the proper stance for drawing back a bow. With a silent curse, Russell lifted his finger off the trigger of his crossbow.
He'd seen the boy once before, so he recognized him. Since dragon shifters aged twice as fast as mortals, Xiao Fang looked about twelve years old. In mortal years, he was only six. Russell wasn't sure what the kid's mental age was, but he was certainly young enough to have been traumatized by recent events. Darafer had captured the dragon boy over two months ago and delivered him to Han. Since then, Russell had been spying on all thirty of Han's camps, hoping to catch a glimpse of Han and the boy.
It was extremely rare to see Han outside one of his encampments, but apparently he'd made an exception for the boy. He was giving Xiao Fang an archery lesson and playing the role of a father figure, no doubt to win the young dragon shifter to his side.
The sad reality was that the strategy might work. Away from his home for over two months, the boy could have fallen prey to the Stockholm syndrome, so that he was now identifying with one of his captors. Master Han probably seemed the safer choice. Safer than the demon Darafer, for sure. And here was Han patting the kid on the back and giving him words of encouragement.
It made Russell's stomach churn with disgust. For a second, he considered teleporting straight to the boy, nabbing him, and taking him to Tiger Town, where he would be safe. The good Vamps were gathered there with their allies, the were-tigers, anxiously awaiting their chance to rescue the dragon boy and defeat Master Han. One phone call and Russell could have a dozen Vamps and shifters by his side.
But wait. Han was stepping back to let Xiao Fang take his shot. It might be another two years before Russell got a chance like this. His first priority had to be killing Han. In the ensuing chaos, the boy could easily be rescued. And this situation was ideal, since Han and his supersoldiers were all standing perfectly still so as not to disturb the boy's concentration.
Russell eased his finger back onto the trigger. Die, you bastard.
One of the guards jerked suddenly. As he fell forward onto his face, the soldier next to him stiffened with a cry, then crumbled to his knees.
What the hell? Russell barely had time to spot the knives protruding from the fallen soldiers' backs when Han jumped on the boy, pushing him down onto the ground. A third knife whizzed past where Han had been standing, embedding itself with a thunk in a tree.
The remaining soldiers shouted, immediately drawing their swords. Han vanished, taking the dragon boy with him.
Damn it to hell! Russell fumed silently. Who were these assholes who had ruined his plans? From the speed and accuracy of the attack, he assumed there were two knife throwers. Maybe three. Whoever they were, they might have trouble escaping the superfast soldiers who were giving chase.
Not my problem, he told himself. The attackers had destroyed the best chance he'd had in a long time. If they were all murdered in the next few minutes, they would never have a chance to interfere with him again.
With a groan, he rested his head against the tree trunk. When had he become such an uncaring prick? Even though he'd been stripped of his humanity, did that mean he had to act like a heartless monster? The attackers were clearly on the same side he was. That made them allies in the war against Master Han.

Welcome to the wacky world of Wendy Wild. Who am I? A performance artist, a rock star, or simply a legend in my own mind. I'd probably need a book to explain all of the hilarious events that made up this enigma, so I pulled out a few chapters so that we could get a little better acquainted.
I grew up in Northport, Long Island, the town of Jack Kerouac and satanic killings. It was a place that "satin" lives! was written by some intellectual in the village square. Of course it does but I prefer Quiana! It was 1978 and a after a year of playing together in a band that did Led Zeppelin and Fleetwood Mac covers, me and John McLoughlin had had enough of "Bell Bottom Blues". We needed to shake the dust off our heels, so hanging a moon out the the window of my Ford Maverick, we headed for "FUN CITY". It was to become a most truly excellent adventure!

Inflation isn't a particularly complicated concept. All the stuff you spend money on — be it milk, rent, hairspray or movie tickets — can be bundled up together to come up with what's called "cost of living." As the cost of living rises — a number reflected in what's called the consumer price index, or CPI — that dollar that used to buy two candy bars now barely buys one. That's inflation.
So how does inflation affect you? It affects you greatly if your salary doesn't at least rise with the rate of inflation, meaning that even if you make the same salary, you won't be able to afford to buy as much. (Since the government started tracking it in 1913, the average yearly inflation rate in the US has been 3.22 percent.) It will adversely affect those who keep a great deal of cash on hand since, over time, what might have once looked like a sizeable amount of money will look considerably smaller — the money simply won't buy nearly what it once would. The only beneficiaries of inflation are those with negative assets — that is, those in debt. Someone who owes a huge amount of money should celebrate higher than normal inflation since it means that even if the number of dollars she owes hasn't changed, the value of what she actually owes is objectively lower thanks to the power of inflation.

Palmetto Bay
Palmetto Bay neighbors leery of proposed new fire station
A divided Palmetto Bay council approved plans for a new fire station to serve northern areas of the village and part of neighboring Pinecrest.
But neighbors of the station site are concerned about traffic and noise, and have threatened to sue to stop the project.
The council approved a site plan for the station in a 3-2 vote, with council member Joan Lindsay and Mayor Shelley Stanczyk dissenting. They said they wanted to delay the item long enough to give residents time to confer with the Miami-Dade County fire department about what would make the site acceptable – and to avoid litigation.
"The reason we wanted to defer it is so that they and [the fire department] could meet, come back, and incorporate what they felt was important into the resolution and have a complete job. As it stands now, it's going to go to court, I believe," Stanczyk said Tuesday.
Gary Pastorella lives directly east of the vacant 1.17-acre parcel the fire department hopes to buy, at the southeastern corner of Southwest 142nd Terrace and Old Cutler Road. He is leading the charge against the station.
"I didn't purchase a home next to a fire station," he said on Tuesday. "Yes, the fire station is fantastic, but it doesn't belong in a [residential] district."
He wants the fire department and the property owner – the Old Cutler Presbyterian Church – to agree to split the lot and build the fire station directly on the corner, on the western part of the parcel, away from his home.
He also says he wants the fire department to address concerns about well-water – surrounding homes aren't connected to the county's public water system – and to promise mitigating conditions on things like lighting, noise and landscaping.
If he doesn't get that, "or plans we can live with," he says he'll sue the village for violating its own charter under the Neighborhood Protection Amendment voted in by referendum in 2012.
The amendment, drafted by Lindsay following the controversy surrounding private school Palmer Trinity's expansion, states that non-residential developments in residential areas "shall not disrupt or degrade the health, safety, tranquility, character, and overall welfare of the adjacent or nearby single-family residential properties by creating negative impacts on those properties … that exceeds that of adjacent single-family properties."
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue's chief financial officer, Scott Mendelsberg, said at the zoning hearing on Monday that while the general location of the fire station was non-negotiable, he would certainly talk to neighbors about whatever other mitigating conditions they wanted.
He specified on Tuesday that the department would consider Pastorella's suggestion to move the station to the western corner of parcel.
"I'd have to look at it in detail, but if it's something that's feasible, and doesn't have a substantial delay, and would result in all of the neighbors agreeing that they're not going to sue us, certainly I would be willing to look at that," he said.
Palmetto Bay also has coverage issues in the southern part of the village, and the fire department has been trying to site a station at the Palmetto Bay Village Center, the private office park located at the former Burger King world headquarters. The property owner has thus far only been willing to let the village consider site-plan approval for the station within a greater rezoning package that would allow it to develop about 20 acres of forested land, and has been instructed by the village to address concerns voiced by environmentalists in opposition to the project.

First of all, what is it?
For a comprehensive definition and history, here's the Wiki.
In short, in the early days of linear film editing (and tape editing) of documentaries, interviews or dramatic films, the main scene, master scene or main interview was strung together on one roll of film or tape called the A roll. Wherever that scene was to cut to another shot (a cut away, an insert or simply another scene not from the main scene) the A roll would get a piece of opaque leader and in the corresponding blank spot, the appropriate shot would be synced up on the 'B roll', itself separated by opaque leader which corresponded to those parts of the 'A roll' that were meant to be seen.
Later it would all be married up. This procedure is what made editing 'seamless' (otherwise you'd see constant flashes every time two pieces of film were joined together with editing tape). It also allowed for seamless transitional treatments (such as dissolves, fade to black, etc.)
These days it's all done on computer—even features shot on film. The film is transferred to video where it is edited and then output back to film. Computer editing programs, of course, are called non-liner editing systems where you can simply drag and drop shots, transitions, effects, etc. with impunity. It's intrinsically seamless.
Anyway, while B roll retains its original meaning, it has also modernized itself through the magic of Time and Slang.
Today in corporate video work, wedding videos, events we generally mean B roll to be any shot that's not part of the narrative (such as an interview) or story, such as a scripted film. In film they generally call this 'coverage', which means you shoot a bunch of detail shots (the clock on the wall, the leaves blowing on the trees, birds in flight, people walking down the street, etc, ad infinitum) that might come in handy for the editor if he's in a tight spot. Great film makers with large crews usually plan their films to the nth degree and specify all these things. Even then, smart cameramen shoot more than was asked for even by a detailed script.
In the run and gun category, when you don't have crew support (assistant directors, script supervisors, etc.) B roll is essential. It will be, in fact, the main pictorial content of your video.
Let's say you have a 15 minute interview. Or even a 3 minute one (in final edited form).
Who wants to see a talking head for 3 minutes or 15 minutes straight?
More to the point, most interviews of any length have to be edited. How do you cover up the cuts?
B roll.
But the purpose of B roll isn't just to cover up cuts. Yes, that's where it can save your bacon when you found yourself forced to do an edit and have absolutely nothing relevant to cover it with. More importantly, B roll should help forward the story of the narrative. It should help forward the overall message of the video. It needs to be relevant to what's being said.
Let's say you're planning a documentary which involves traveling across the United States and stopping in various cities to interview certain people on the same basic set of questions. One thing is for certain. You're going to interview those people. That's what you do know. But you've never been to these places and have no idea in advance what also should be shot in terms of B roll, so you're going to 'wing it' and hope you're covered.
Well actually, you already know more than that. You know you're going to a particular city or town.
Most every city or town has a 'Welcome to ___' sign. Shoot it.
Mount your camera on the windshield or handhold it and shoot some traveling shots, highway signs, landmarks and anything of interest as you arrive. You may only wind up using one or two of those shots—or none—, but so what? You're not doing anything but driving. (let me clarify that: If you're alone, use a mount. If you're with someone, have them hold the camera).
Shoot some establishment shots of the town and its landmarks. Long shots, medium shots, close shots, detail shots.
Shoot the bustling downtown–or the vacant one.
Shoot the exterior sign and buildings of the location you're going to.
You know something else too. You know what the questions are and the subject material to be covered. So shoot stuff in that town that's relevant to the subjects that will be discussed.
If relevant, shoot the interior of the establishment you're going to. Not just long shots of interesting rooms, but detail shots of interesting details.
Yea, shoot atmospheric shots of flowers, trees, birds, lakes or whatever is there and may be relevant to what you're doing.
And if it turns out you need a bird in flight for the Chicago edit and you didn't shoot one, use the St. Louis bird you shot. Who will know? It's called 'cheating' and Hollywood has always gotten a kick out of cheating.
If you spend an hour or two on the interview, spend that much or much more on the B roll.
After the interview you may realize you need to shoot something else based on what was discussed.
So shoot that.
You get the idea.
For a video to be interesting, it should not only have interesting narrative or story content, it should also be rich in story-telling pictures (footage). You won't use a fraction of what you shoot, but you will have so much latitude in editing for having shot it that you will be free to make a great video no matter the headaches you may have endured during the interview itself.

More on Unmounting my UM stamps - New Craft Mat
15 comments:
I'm like you. I didn't know there was another type of craft mat. Sounds like it is great, especially if you are considering unmounting your stamps. Does it have to be ordered from the Internet or do chain stores carry them (like JoAnn's, Michael's, or Hobby Lobby)? I don't think I have seen this type.ReplyDeleteReplies
JoAnn's carries them - right now they are on sale for $9.99 :)Delete
This sounds amazing Roni and I agree a good craft mat is everything. I love the fact that it has the extra cushion to make stamping with UMs that much easier.ReplyDelete
grmph.. maybe you willl have to move out of your home one day, so your stamps can live there..Now serious: I use a smaller cushion like mat to stamp on sometimes, but what you recommend here is even better. Even for stamping with EZ mounted stamps it would be just splendid to be using.. 'Do you know whether there is a shop in Holland that carries this craft mat? I just invested in a thicker craft sheet from a dutch company, which is OK, but I would LOVE to own a craft mat that does not get damaged in some or other way.. Or mustn't I compare it to a craft sheet, but rather to a cutting mat?ReplyDeleteReplies
I did some checking Ellie and one of my friends said that you might check at DeStempelwinkel. http://de-stempelwinkel.nl/index.php?action=home&lang=NLDelete
She said that she didn't see the mat on their web-site but they do carry some IMAGINE Crafts/Tsukineko products so they may be able to get it for you. She said they are very accommodating.
What an awesome mat! No wonder you do not hesitate to unmount the cling foam.ReplyDelete
can I buy this mat online? love it!Replies
Yes - You can buy it directly from IMAGINE Crafts - https://www.imaginecrafts.com/craft-mat/no-view/1936 It *was* available at JoAnn Fabric & Crafts half off (9.99) but this morning when I went to get the link it is sold out. I'm sure it's carried other places as well.Delete
That is so interesting. I have never seen these mats here so I guess I will have to look online.ReplyDelete
This sounds perfect! I need a new mat (yet again) and will have to look into one of these. My old mat could be used for glue gun stuff. I'm assuming this one wouldn't be as heat resistant? Off to look.....ReplyDeleteReplies
It IS heat resistant...the web-site says it's •Heat resistant to 392°F / 200°C. I don't know how hot a glue gun gets but I've never had any problem with anything I've done so far.Delete
Can you use the mat for alcohol ink techniques? Like squirting ink on the mat and then smooshing it up with a piece of glossy card? Or using it as a palette for mixing paint?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes Julie - you can use it for alcohol inks, paints, pigment & dye inks, etc. It's all good. The only thing I did find is that deep red ink will stain a bit if you leave it on over night. But the cool thing is that with time (and regular cleaning) it has faded to the point you can barely see it anymore.Delete
It all sounds and looks good, hope it will be soon available in our part of the world :-)ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing this Roni!ReplyDelete
I went right over to Joanne's the other morn,and put one in my cart, by the time i was done shopping- it was sold out! hah! Guess I wasn't fast enough! heehee

The US government's development finance institution, Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), has signed a mandate letter to begin financing discussions with Kenya's Mawingu Networks (Mawingu)
Mawingu combines solar power technology with TV white space, microwaves and a network of solar-powered 'nomadic' wireless Internet stations to provide last-mile connectivity to rural areas that cannot otherwise access the Internet.
Elizabeth Littlefield, president of OPIC, said, "By leveraging technology and ingenuity, Mawingu's massive reach to connect rural African communities to the Internet is just beginning, and I look forward to the growth and scalability of this model that OPIC financing can unlock."
OPIC has been encouraged by Mawingu's initial pilot operations and is considering a US$4mn loan that would allow for commercial expansion of the company's operations. Mawingu uses Microsoft's existing technology of TV white spaces connectivity for off-grid Internet access.
"Mawingu was the first of the six TV white space pilots Microsoft has deployed in Africa in collaboration with partners, making Africa a leader in TV white spaces. It is now time to work with both local and global partners such as OPIC to go commercial and scale to impact not just thousands, but millions of lives across Africa," said Antony Cook, head of legal and corporate affairs for Middle East and Africa at Microsoft.
Mawingu was able to establish its current operating model using an initial grant from Microsoft's 4Afrika initiative, the US Agency for International Development (USAID), an investment from angel investor Jim Forster, and early funding from Paul G. Allen's Vulcan Inc.
Lauren Kickham, Vulcan Inc.'s head of Africa entrepreneurship programme, said, "We are pleased that our investment in Mawingu will help drive resiliency in African communities. Through our pilots and partnerships, we will de-risk and catalyse growth of new businesses."
"The support from OPIC will really help us deliver on the potential of this opportunity to help connect millions of Kenyans to the Internet for the first time," said Tim Hobbs, director at Mawingu.

There are some interesting things popping up around town that appear to be part of a new exhibition opening at the Saint Louis Science Center in a few weeks. According the the Saint Louis Science Center web site the exhibition opens May 3rd and features animatronic monsters – many from popular movies. Read the rest of this entry »
Monsters Coming to Saint Louis Science CenterApril 27, 2008
Are Sciece Centers Relevant?January 23, 2008
The closing of the Toledo COSI due to budget shortfalls last month after the public voted down financial support should raise a red flag for many science centers around the United States. Are science centers relevant? Do they need to change? How should they change?
Establishing Relevance Again in the Community
Looking at the top 20 Science Centers and Museums around the US not one mission is identical, but all are basically the same – advance the public interest/education in science and technology. The challenge most science centers face stems from a lack of audience appreciation and relevance.
Having helped design and consulted with Science Centers/Museums of Science, most still operate trying to communicate information on their terms with little regard to what is happening in the non-science world. Is it interesting to see a model of a space vehicle or a moch-up of a control panel when I can go home and interact, almost completely immersed in a virtual environment on my X-box?
Most Science Centers need to step back and do four things. (1) Understand and define the audience. Who can the institution most successfully reach and what is the expected impact? (2) Determine what is relevant to the lives of that audience (3) Define the science strengths in the institution and around the institution. (4) Develop a narrative and experience that connects from a point of audience relevance to the science issue that is a strength. Just like the department store – the days of selling everything to everyone no longer works in a world of specialization and the Internet.
Ironically – The very science and technology that these institutions promote is reducing the effectiveness of the institutions. But it could also be the greatest point to re-establish their relevance.

Why Did COSI Toledo Close?January 9, 2008
In interesting post and discussion today about the closing of the COSI Toledo Science Center. Not-for-profits often struggle to adjust to a constant changing landscape because historically they have ignored many market forces that force the business world to evolve.
Many Science Centers that are prospering have done so through balancing revenue generation and revenue creation. Taking some of the best practices from business is more than brand strategy, but includes leveraging technology, driving operations efficiencies, strong customer relationship programs – basically operating with purpose and accountability.
The Saint Louis Science Center is a good example of a well run science center that is adapting many best practices from the for profit world. They hired a fill time VP of Business a few years back from the for profit world to lead this effort and the SLSC now has one of the highest ratios of attendance per dollar spent according to 2006 ASTC data.
Below is a portion of the post from Pail Orselli on the Exhibitricksblog.
Sustainable Museums. What happened to COSI Toledo?
In case you hadn't heard, COSI Toledo closed down permanently on December 31, 2007, after 10 years of operation.I think its a little sad and scary that one of the early "brand(ed) names" of the science center business, COSI, has taken such a drubbing in both its greatly expanded Columbus location, as well as in its now defunct Toledo satellite.
Unfortunately, the news of museum closings, like COSI Toledo's, begs several important questions: 1) Are the traditional business models of museum operation truly sustainable? 2) Is the public really willing to support museums directly (through admissions, contributions, etc.) and/or indirectly through taxes, millages, etc.? 3) Should the IRS that grants 501 (c) 3 non-profit status for museums insist on more realistic business plans? All tough questions, which I don't claim to have the definitive answers to, but I am interested in starting a dialogue. So, what do you think?

There aren't a whole lot of moving part to GAME OVER. Much like CLERKS, it exists almost entirely in a small store, the story revolving around the lives of the people who exist in the world of this store and the immediate surroundings. Being a TV show, this makes sense. It makes everything more or less self-contained.
Well, I'm guessing that's the case. I haven't read the script.
It's a small set, but it's on a parcel of land that's pretty well removed from a lot of stuff, which makes it a lot easier to operate. There's a large basketball court where we can keep gear and rooms in the back where the unneeded cast and crew can relax without having to worry about talking too loud and ruining the sound. Pretty much we have the run of the place. It's a big building that doesn't really seem to be doing anything other than this, which is nice.
Call is 7am and we load in, which takes a bit. The crew is about the size you'd expect. We start filming around 11am. The first scene revolves around the store's chief gamer Trey (Robb Stech) berating a kid who's trying to play some video game, and then being too cool to deal with a customer. So, yeah, it's a lot like CLERKS. Robb improvises the scene quite a bit, which is effective, as it adds a freshness to the dialogue. Plus, it tends to get better reactions from the other actors.
I'm not sure why I'm so surprised that CLERKS is a template for something that takes place in a video store. It's a pretty easy series of dots to connect. Maybe I'm just surprised that we're still so thematically beholden to a rather mediocre indie from 15 years ago that wouldn't have a shot in hell at finding an audience if it came out today. It just strikes me as a pretty terrible starting point for your story, especially when you consider that CLERKS itself is sort of based on "The Divine Comedy". Why not go back into the original source and work from there? It's kind of like basing your love story on TROMEO AND JULIET instead of, you know, Shakespeare. I dunno, it seems like you really limit yourself with that approach.
Just a pet peeve of mine.
The real highlight of day 1 is the early stages of Kenneth McGregor's performance as Jim, an older store employee who sort of exists on his own wavelength. Think Kramer, without the caffeine. It's always fascinating to watch an experienced actor work, and this is one in full control. He knows his character and, beyond that, he knows the other characters and works to make the other actors better. It's what you think of when you hear the term "actor's actor". It's a joy to watch him work. And even more importantly, he's damned funny. You probably remember him from X-MEN. He was Magneto's father.
You don't meet a whole lot of actors that make you want to write something for them specifically. He's certainly one of them.
Filmmaker Lucas McNelly is spending a year on the road, volunteering on indie film projects around the country, documenting the process and the exploring the idea of a mobile creative professional. You can see more from A Year Without Rent at the webpage. Follow him on Twitter: @lmcnelly.

About the Exhibition
Everyday Eden features 2 new commissions and 3 recent works by Jedediah Caeser, Tony Feher, Rob Fischer, Paula Hayes, and Nina Katchadourian. In a variety of ways, these artists' works intersect with the vocabulary surrounding today's growing interest in ecological concerns, including natural settings, constructed landscapes, decay, recycling, and preservation. Chosen with the specific conditions of the MetroTech Center in mind, the artists respond to the site as a densely populated public space comprised of both urban and natural conditions. By seeking beauty in the everyday and manifesting it in their works, these artists illuminate that which might otherwise go unnoticed. Their Eden is not necessarily a "green" one, but it is utterly relevant, present, and livable.

"For years, there has been speculation over CEO Steve Jobs' health. Is he fully capable of running his company? Over the past year, Jobs has made it clear that he is now healthy and he is firmly at the helm. But what will happen when it's time to retire and leave Apple in the hands of someone else?
Whoever takes over Apple, whether it's Tim Cook or someone else, will find themselves in an unenviable position. They will be forced to fill the shoes of arguably the best -- or certainly the most in-control -- CEO the technology industry has ever seen. And everyone, including investors, customers, and other stakeholders will be skeptical of that person's ability to run Apple the way Jobs would have."

Hello hello ♥!
It's always nice to say Congratulations!!! So, there you have it Germany, Congratulations Champions!!… Better late than never … I know it only took me like four months to say it but, hey, intentions are everything!!
Just to clear things out, well deserved it, they were the best team throughout the whole tournament and yes I know you are probably saying "Who cares, that's so last summer news" but in my defense today it's Thursday so I am so into throwbacks right now. 😉
Although if you think about it, we are almost at the end of the year and just this week we had the last friendlies and last international matches from all national teams, some of them will say Thank God! Yes I'm looking at you Spain, a year to forget for them, they even closed it with a defeat 0-1 vs the Champions, Germany… hence my congratulations again, talking about finishing with a punch! Well done Germany, so let's Throwback Thursday (#TBT) to July 13th 2014!
All started at the Maracanã Stadium, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, an intense match, extra time and just when we all thought we were going to penalties, boom Mario Götze of Germany scored in the 113th minute and then he drop the mic!…. It was over for Argentina and their dream to win a World Cup in their arch rivals home, this is like Batman and the Joker type of love, to put into some kind of weird perspective… 😉
Well, we all enjoy it, some more than others, definitely we realized that Germans actually can celebrate big time, which was surprising for some people, ha!
Congratulations Germany, looking forward to see what this team and this generation of players can accomplish, they already got a big one, the biggest trophy, the one that rules them all, a little LOTR reference never hurts! (My preciousss)
What do you think, can Germany becomes the new Spain meaning playing a specific style, wining all or give us a memorable generation of players like Spain did? ( I know some of them are memorable already but you get what I mean, I hope so… if not just ask me ;/) Let me know in the comments are or on my twitter @MonikJHerrera , feel free to give any opinion. 😉
Thanks for reading, I know this was old news but I love World Cups and looking back to the latest one is always entertaining and emotional. A hug please…
P.S Thanks for stopping by in my absence, I'm trying to make it happen and that apparently has taken most of my life and energy, but I'm here, not going anywhere and I am back, ready to keep going, with more and bigger plans!! I'm going bananas!!
Besitos ♥!Pictures thanks to; svcathletics.com, Thedailybeast.com, Mirror.uk, cyberscore.me.uk english.alarabiya.net, totallycoolpix.com, rt.com, http://www.dailymail.co.uk, minionslovesbananas.com.

In response to a number of queries about the new Momentum Life TV ad, Mabu Vinyl has released an official press release (um, this is it…) to confirm that the ad was in fact shot inside Mabu Vinyl.
The television campaign, conceptualised by Draft FCB Cape Town, is the first in a series of the "Its easy to make the perfect choice with Momentum", and takes place in a retro, packed-to-the-roof record store.
The shopper knows exactly what he wants while the shop owner/expert helps guide him to make his perfect choice.
We like to think that they chose Mabu because that is exactly the kind of service we offer on a regular basis, but we actually suspect it was because they liked Mabu's "retro-on-acid' sensitively arranged interior décor (see pics below).
And, a small point, but shouldn't "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" be pronounced to sound like "Lordy' and not "loudy"?

More than ever, companies are hard-pressed to find ways to save money in both manufacturing and repair settings. One such way is to use wear parts at pivot points, specifically Tension Bushings manufactured by VFS (Vogelsang Fastener Solutions). Tension Bushings are hollow cylinders with a full-length longitudinal slot ("wavy" or straight), permitting compression and expansion. They protect the structure of low RPM, and low-high impact locations where a shaft is rotating.
VFS Tension Bushings are an excellent cost-saving alternative to solid bushings and can increase the amount of "wear time" between changing existing bushings. Installation is easy in both manufacturing environments and replacements in the field with minimal tools. Chamfers help facilitate pressing these wear parts into a bore without causing damage to the surface of the bore or shaft to which they are fitted.
Vogelsang Fastener Solutions offers same-day shipment on a large variety of sizes in both "wavy" and straight lot designs through their Quick Ship (QS), stocking program. Outer diameters (OD's) from 3⁄4" to 3 1⁄2", and up to 3" in length are available from stock. OD's from 4" to 5" are available for special order, as are Tension Bushings needing holes and/or grooves.

Limited-Range Bi-Fuel Vehicles The Next Step For Alt-Fuels?
Installing CNG systems on conventional cars is expensive, due in part to the large and intrusive fuel tanks needed to hold even a most amount of natural gas. But vehicle consultant Carlabs has developed a small bi-fuel system that takes advantage of CNG's low cost, without adding too much to the car's sale price.
Carlabs performed bi-fuel conversions on four vehicles to show the flexibility of their system. A Hyundai Sonata, BMW X3, Ford Mustang GT, and GMC Acadia, using tanks that hold the equivalent of four gallons of natural gas. The tanks were fitted into the space usually reserved for the spare tire, and added between 55 and 75 miles of extra range using a fuel that averages around $2 for a gallon-equivalent. This is in addition to the standard gasoline tanks on each car, which were unaltered. The cars can switch seamlessly between gasoline and natural gas.
These systems could make a great "gateway" alternative-fuel vehicle for people who live in areas where CNG stations are still few and far between. If you lived close to a CNG station, you could putz around town on a much-cheaper fuel source, and then for long journeys fill up on regular gasoline, secure that you'll never be far from refueling. It gives me security than a pure CNG car like the $26,000 Honda Civic Natural Gas, which was briefly offered with a $3,000 gas card to motivate sales.
Best of all, the systems only cost between $2,600 and $2,900 per car which, while not cheap, is about the cost of adding leather seats or other premium options. Most bi-fuel systems have much larger tanks, driving up costs. Vehicles, like the Ram 2500 HD CNG carry a $11,000 premium for their natural gas systems. This lower cost could conceivably be made up in just a couple of years of driving, especially if gas prices go back up to $4 a gallon and you do a lot of city driving.
Are small bi-fuel systems the key to CNG adoption?

Brazil – Avon Products supports anti-gay preacher Silas Malafaia
This is a short post about Avon Products, Inc. and how their policies regarding LGBT community are not the same depending on the country. In addition, this a call for action for my friends and readers abroad, mainly in the USA, since Avon headquarters are American and their representatives in other countries are subsidiaries.
As you probably know, Human Rights Campaign (HRC) makes a list every year called Buyer's Guide to help people decide from which corporations to buy their products and services. The personal care company Avon Products is very well rated by HRC, but their subsidiary in Brazil has in their product catalogs books written by a notorious anti-gay evangelical leader named Silas Malafaia.
Just to have a clue about ho is this man, he said in November 2011 to The New York Times the following: "I'm the public enemy No. 1 of the gay movement in Brazil". Andrew Chesunt, an expert on Latin American religions compared him to Pat Robertson, a very known conservative and homophobic evangelist in United States:
He's like Pat Robertson in the sense of being a pioneer in moving Brazil's evangelical right into the national political realm.
Mr. Silas Malafaia is a television evangelist and he uses his milions of dollars to broadcast paid shows in two Brazilian's national networks, besides having frequent meetings with congressmen in the capital of the country, Brasília. I highly suggest you to take a better look inall Mr. Malafia said to NYT.
Beside you can see one of Mr. Malafaia's books announced in Avon's catalogs. Acoording to Avon Brazil, in their advisor page, their brochure "Fashion and Home" is the largest seller of books in Brazil. When Avon offers Mr. Malafaia books, the company is helping Mr. Malafaia to continue his persecution against LGBT community in Brazil.
Many of us had already contacted the company both in Brazil and USA, but we need your help to speak about this issue louder. This is why I'm asking you to send a message to Avon USA (Contact Us) so they can push Brazil's subsidiary to review their catalog and remove the books of this anti-gay evangelical leader. Also help us to spread this call for action to your friends that are consumers of Avon products.
Besides that, you can sign our petition to Avon Brazil in this link. You just need to provide your full name (Nome completo) and e-mail address. You can also fill your city (Cidade) and CEP (Zip code) if you wish.
You can also speak out to Avon USA using their social networks: Facebook and Twitter. I'm really grateful for your help with this issue.

The Commonwealth of North Mariana Islands has won its first ever international match.
The game was only an U-15 game but the 2-1 victory last month over the former Portuguese colony of Macau in a youth tournament in Taiwan was fitting first ever-win.
The Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Thai communities on Saipan and some of the US citizens had played unorganized football on Saipan for years but the North Mariana Islands FA was only set up after a US lawyer, Peter Coleman, came to work on the main island of Saipan and set up a youth league to give his son a game.
The 14 islands – part of the United Nations trust territory in the Pacific but administered by the United States - first played internationally five years ago after invited being as guests to the 2006 U-14 East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) youth festival in Beijing (pictured).
Peter Coleman has since stepped aside but, driven by president Jerry Tan, NIMFA is now a member of the EAFF and an associate member of the Asian Football Confederation.

By: Oberst von Berauscht –
Paul (Ethan Hawke) is a drifter, heading south for Mexico through the wilderness. He is accompanied by his horse and a dog named Abbie, who is incredibly smart. Paul comes to a town in a valley called Denton, where he hopes to get provisions and a bath before he continues his journey. Instead he runs afoul of Gilly (James Ransone) an upstart sheriff's deputy who picks a fight with him. Paul manages to publicly embarrass Gilly via sucker-punch. Meanwhile the Sheriff (John Travolta), who is also Gilly's father, runs Paul out of town, promising to let him go in peace. Gilly breaks his father's word, though, tracking Paul deep into the desert and ambushing him and Abbie, leaving them for dead. Livid, Paul returns to Denton in secret looking for bloody revenge.
A Toast
Director Ti West makes the most of the film's tiny budget, crafting an old-school-styled Western that overcomes genre convention through a few very unique character twists. John Travolta, for instance, isn't the big-baddie that he'd be in most Westerns, just a father whose misfortune was to have a kid that is an asshole.
Nobody in this movie possesses superhuman traits, none are particularly great shots, none are quickdraw masters, instead the characters are mostly in way over their heads. And the lucky ones die before they realize this fact.
As the lead, Ethan Hawke is excellent, carrying a "dark & vaguely defined backstory" typical of Westerns. He has channeled what remains of his love and affection into his canine companion and the two are a great team. This makes for some wonderful moments of comedy that clash mercilessly with the film's darker revenge tone. Karen Gillan is also excellent as Ellen, the airheaded girlfriend of Gilly who runs the town's hotel alongside her sister Mary-Anne (Taissa Farmiga). In the town of Denton, where her boyfriend has the run of the place, Ellen is the spoiled princess. As the put-upon sister of Ellen, Taissa Farmiga is anxious for a life outside of Denton, and is immediately taken with Hawke, less for romantic reasons, and more as a piece of pure fascination. As the Preacher, Burn Gorman is the film's chief comedic foil, as he frequently runs into trouble, mostly due to his own bad luck.
Beer Two
Budgetary limitations are evident throughout the film, which has a spartan feel. Very few extras, and limited production design make the town of Denton feel less than lived-in. It almost has the feel of being shot at a gimmicky Wild West tourist attraction.
In a Valley of Violence is a solidly entertaining Western from Blumhouse, proving the fledgling production company has more to it than horror
In a Valley of Violence (2016) Drinking Game
Take a Drink: whenever the dog does a trick
Take a Drink: for the Body-Count
Take a Drink: for Ethan Hawke badassery
Do a Shot: whenever the preacher gets his ass handed to him

1) Signs of economic recovery should be treated with caution. Trade credit may well become more widely available in 2014, but it is crucial to exercise robust financial management and not to overstretch limits due to an improving market. Don't overtrade and remember recovery never follows a straight line.
2) Make sure you use specialist software to provide you with detailed intelligence on the financial health and credit worthiness of customers. You must know what the outstanding risks are, what the total customer debt amounts to, and which customers represent the biggest risk in terms of recovering the debt.
3) Make credit assessments based on real-time data. The financial health of a customer last month will not help you to assess the security of their debts right now. Immediate visibility lets you understand your exposure instantly and if a customer slips from low or average risk to high risk, you can adjust credit limits until their financial position improves.
4) Timely data also means that you can manage risk according to your own appetite. If you know that you can hold the value of customer debts, sustain cash flow and accurately forecast, you are in a stronger position to make decisions.
5) Use credit management to improve your value with your stakeholders including credit insurers. If you have an accurate picture of the security of your debts and have built a good record —fewer days outstanding and fewer customer defaults— your business becomes more appealing and attracts better rates from credit insurers.
6) Integrate your credit risk management software solution. This means that everyone from back-office financial to front-line CRM systems works with the same information—from lead generation, to closing a sale, to follow up throughout the entire order-to-payment cycle.
7) Use this increased awareness to assess whether high-risk customers should be on your prospect lists and focus sales efforts on the strongest, high-value opportunities that will actually deliver fast, full revenue recognition. Sales teams will be tangibly more productive and the company will be focused on maximizing profitable sales.
8) Are you looking to expand into new markets? Growth in new, unfamiliar territories such as Asia, South America and Russia may increase your risk exposure. It is crucial to determine the credit risk of potential buyers operating in these areas based on "on the ground" intelligence. To do this, ensure your software solution synthesizes daily intelligence from global sources, and not just local.
9) Use your trade credit intelligence to improve your own business opportunities. Apart from enabling decisions to be made about which customers to trade with or extend credit to, this data can also be leveraged to guarantee bank credit and reduce borrowing costs.
10) Select a trade credit management software solution that can be easily integrated into your existing IT set-up, such as a cloud-based product. By doing this you will minimise your initial costs, cause little to no disruption, and you can start benefiting quickly.

Been a bit of a busy couple of weeks for me at the day job, and I apologize for the lack of posts. I hope that Blank Verse kept you entertained at least for a little while.
Have a good Father's Day? I got Coriolanus on DVD. I can't decide whether that would be a more appropriate Mother's Day gift. 🙂 (Credit to @playsthetart on Twitter for that joke, which I totally didn't get when she said it).
Amusing update – through a really weird series of coincidences I bumped into the book agent that I worked with back in the late 90's in the technical field. He now has his own agency, specializing in non-fiction with focus on humor and pop culture. So I didn't miss a beat before pitching him my book idea, compiling all of our best lists and Twitter hashtag games into one humorous volume. I did not get a happy answer, but I'm quite proud that I didn't miss the chance to ask.
I think that's all I've got for the moment. Shakespeare on Boston Common will be coming up soon — Coriolanus. I'll have to make sure I watch the movie before I go see the show. 🙂
How's everybody else been? Got any summer Shakespeare plans?

Platform evaporites
Platform evaporite deposits are made up of stratiform beds, usually <50 m thick and composed of stacked <1 to 5 m thick parasequences or evaporite cycles, with a variably-present restricted-marine carbonate unit at a cycle base (Warren, 2010). Salts were deposited as mixed evaporitic mudflat and saltern evaporites, sometimes with local accumulations of bittern salts. Typically, platform salts were deposited in laterally extensive (>50-100 km wide), hydrographically-isolated, subsealevel marine-seepage lagoons (salterns) or evaporitic mudflats (sabkhas and salinas).
These regions have no same-scale modern counterparts and extended as widespread depositional sheets across large portions of hydrographically-isolated marine platform areas, which passed seaward across a subaerial seepage barrier into open marine sediments. In marine margin epeiric settings, such as the Jurassic Arab/Hith and Permian Khuff cycles of the Middle East or the Cretaceous Ferry Lake Anhydrite in the Gulf of Mexico, these platform evaporites are intercalated with shoalwater marine-influenced carbonate shelf/ramp sediments, which in turn pass basinward across a subaerial sill into open marine carbonates. Landward, they tend to pass into arid-zone continental siliciclastics deposited in bajada or eolian mudflat and sandflat settings.

It can be very stressful when a plumbing issue springs up in the house. However, it can also be equally stressful to find a professional to take care of the repairing. You can ask for recommendations from friends and families and ask for an honest review of the services. It is even better if you know someone who has been in the plumbing business earlier. During the process, if you are faced with an option of choosing in between the local plumber and a renowned plumbing company, it would be advisable to go with the local plumber, here is why.
- Quick service
The greatest advantage with hiring a plumber Onehunga is their quick of service. Since these plumbers have been staying in the area for quite a long time, they are well acquainted with every nook and corner and will have no problem in reaching your exact address in a very short span of time. Due to this quick response time, you will not have to wait for hours before getting the emergencies fixed. Moreover, plumber Onehunga can be called in at all times of the day. This is usually not the case with larger companies who only have few outposts in certain areas. Even if they were to immediately dispatch plumbers to your address, it would take quite a lot of time before they reach your place.
- Familiarity and connection
When you hire a local plumber, you are actually hiring someone who is well acquainted with the area. Therefore, you are not only hiring someone for their services but also developing a mutual relationship with the plumber. This would mean that you will be immediately able to call him up if any emergencies were to arise in the future. In addition to that, you will also be able to freely point out your problems and ask for suggestions.
- Honesty
When you hire someone, you would definitely want a high quality service. Hiring plumbers from a major company may seem convenient but the fact is that due to their profit oriented mindset, they may not really be concerned about your problems. A local plumber on the other hand not only focuses on the fees but also thinks about the relationship shared. Therefore, he will naturally be more inclined to fix your problems with greater integrity and honesty.
- Fair pricing
Due to similar reasons as above, plumber Onehunga would rate their services at a far reasonable price as compared to the major companies who sometimes tend to overcharge due to their looming reputation. In addition to this, the local plumbers may also be able to suggest you some cost efficient techniques and where to get the plumbing supplies at the most reasonable cost.
- Supporting local business
Hiring a local plumber would mean that you are supporting the local economy and helping it thrive. Even though your share of financial input is minimum, you are at least preventing the money from flowing out of the region.

SAKAZUKI - Japanese Sake Set in Irabo Glaze
Sake Bottle: 6.25"H, 2.75" Diameter at base
Sake Cups: 1.75"H, 2.25" Diameter
Dai's Irabo glaze ceramics capture the Japanese admiration for the imperfect and the withered. Entirely handmade in Takayama, Japan, these pieces age beautifully with use, as their texture smoothens and colors deepen. Look closely and one can appreciate the artisanal details such as small divets where Dai's fingers carefully suspended the piece in mid-air as he painted it.
Dai believes that the beauty of Japanese pottery comes from its "harmony with nature". In keeping with this philosophy, Dai does not compromise when it comes to selecting his ingredients, whether it be clay from a particular hill 20km away or ash that is produced naturally and locally. He also shuns all tools of mass production, even opting for the mechanically-operated wheel over its electronic counterpart.
If you are interested enough in this sake set to read this description, you are probably not a novice when it comes to the art of sake appreciation. For this sake set is not meant to compete with the mass-produced "soul"-less sake sets that abound: it was handcrafted in Takayama, Japan by Dai Nagakura, using Koito Pottery's original, internationally acclaimed "Blue Irabo" glaze.
To better appreciate this sake set, we encourage you to read about Koito Pottery, Dai, and his philosophy on pottery.
The set comes with one sake bottle (tokkuri)and two sake cups (sakazuki). The more you use the sake cups and bottle, the smoother the texture will become, and the deeper and richer the colors will be.
