8.555788 - WAGNER, R.: Scenes from Lohengrin and Siegfried
Richard Wagner (1813-1883)
Scenes from Lohengrin and Siegfried
Richard Wagner was born in Leipzig in 1813, the acknowledged son of a Government official Carl Friedrich Wagner and his wife Johanna, but apparently fathered in fact by the actor Ludwig Geyer, who was to marry Johanna after Carl Friedrich's death. Wagner's education was an intermittent one, much of it in Dresden, where he fell under the spell of Weber and Der Freischütz, the first great German romantic opera. Returning to Leipzig he was to profit more from contact with his uncle Adolf, a widely read scholar with a knowledge of Greek tragedy, as well as of the classics of Italy, the works of Shakespeare, and of course, of the literature of his own country. In Leipzig Wagner took the opportunity of furthering his own interests in music, stimulated by the performances of the famous Gewandhaus Orchestra and Beethoven's opera Fidelio, which he heard in 1829. He borrowed books from the music lending library of Robert Schumann's future teacher and father-in-law, Friedrich Wieck, and took private music lessons at the Thomasschule, where J.S. Bach had been employed a century earlier.
The later career of Wagner was a turbulent one. His income never matched his ambitions, and he was driven on by an aggressive and ruthless urge to create a new form of music, the music of the future, particularly in the conjunction of all arts in a series of great music dramas. He worked first as conductor at the undistinguished opera-house in Magdeburg, married a singer, Minna Planer, moved to Königsberg and later to Riga. From there, pursued by creditors, he sailed for England, and thence a week later to Paris, where success continued to elude him. Recognition was finally to come from his native Saxony, with a production for the opera Rienzi in Dresden and an official appointment to the royal court. His own tactless espousal of revolutionary notions led to his flight from Saxony in 1849, at first to Liszt in Weimar, and then to Switzerland. Further troubles were to follow as the result of the political suspicions he had aroused, the constant attention of creditors and his selfish unscrupulousness in his relations with women. The protection later afforded by King Ludwig II of Bavaria allowed some respite from difficulties, but his liaison with Liszt's daughter Cosima, wife of the Bavarian court conductor Hans von Bülow, and his unpopularity in Munich, led to a further period of exile in Switzerland. His final relative triumph in the establishment of a Festival devoted to his work in Bayreuth was accomplished again with the encouragement of King Ludwig. The first festival took place in 1876, but did nothing to reduce his increasing personal debts.
Wagner died during the course of a visit to Venice in 1883. In his lifetime he had inspired equally fanatical devotion and hatred, both of which continued after his death. His principal achievement must be seen in the creation of massive and stupendous masterpieces for the theatre, such as his German epic cycle The Ring of the Nibelung, and his expansion of traditional harmonic and constructional devices in music.
The opera Lohengrin was first performed in Weimar in 1850 under the direction of Liszt, who had helped Wagner in his flight from Dresden. The work opens with King Henry the Fowler hearing the accusation of fratricide brought by Telramund against Elsa of Brabant, to whom he had served as guardian after the death of her father, suggesting that she had killed her brother Gottfried in order to assume control over the land with a secret lover. The King decrees mortal combat to discover her guilt or innocence, and she declares that her champion will be a knight that she has seen in a dream. As the herald summons the combatants and Elsa prays for help, a swan is seen drawing a boat, from which steps an unknown knight. Telramund is defeated but the knight spares his victim, while the heathen Ortrud, Telramund's wife and fellow conspirator, wonders if her powers are waning. Reproached by Telramund, now condemned to banishment, she tells him that the knight's power can only be broken if he is made to reveal his name. She arouses the pity of Elsa and at the same time casts doubt on the origin of the mysterious knight. A herald announces Telramund's banishment and the appointment of the knight to rule Brabant, as husband to Elsa. Telramund seeks to learn the knight's name and rank but is denied an answer by the knight, who seeks Elsa's assurance of trust in him as they proceed to their wedding.
[1] The Prelude to the third act depicts the wedding celebration. [2] The King and his men escort Lohengrin, and the ladies of the court Elsa to the bridal chamber, before leaving them alone together. [3] They exchange avowals of love. [4] Lohengrin explains the feelings that had brought him to become her champion, but she returns to the mystery of her husband's name. [5] He urges her to accept the mystery, like the scents wafted to them from the garden. [6] Elsa would prove her worth by risking danger for him, seeking to share knowledge of his name, that must conceal some danger.
[7] Lohengrin reminds her of her promise not to seek his name and tries to reassure her, hinting at his own noble origin. [8] Elsa is further disturbed by this confession, now imagining that he will leave her to return to the high state from which he came; she seems to see the swan that brought him, ready to take him away again. At last she asks the question, seeking openly to know his name. [9] Telramund and four companions burst in with drawn swords, but Lohengrin, with a sword that Elsa hands him, strikes Telramund dead, while the other knights yield. Lohengrin leads Elsa, fainting, to a couch, and tells the knights to take Telramund's body to the King's court. He calls to Elsa's maids to take her before the King, where he will answer her question about his identity.
In the final scene Lohengrin, before the King, rejects the commission to lead the royal troops in war, and, revealing the body of Telramund, seeks and finds justification for his action. He accuses Elsa of breaking her word and explains his own origin, as a Knight of the Grail. As he takes his final leave, he tells Elsa that her brother Gottfried is alive, transformed by her magic, as Ortrud claims, into a swan. Gottfried reappears, as Lohengrin sadly sails away, his boat now drawn by a dove, and Elsa sinks lifeless into her brother's arms.
Siegfried is the third part of the great Wagnerian tetralogy, The Ring, and was first staged at Bayreuth in 1876. As the work opens, Mime sits by the forge in his cave in the forest, hammering out a sword and complaining about his endless labour. He can make swords strong enough for giants yet Siegfried breaks them in two like children's toys, but if he could join together the blade of the great sword Nothung, Siegfried would be able to kill the dragon giant Fafner, and then Mime could gain possession of the ring. He continues his work and his complaint. Siegfried comes cheerfully in from the forest. He is leading a bear, jokingly provoking it to attack Mime, who cowers in fear. Siegfried sets the bear free and it trots back to the wood. He had sought a friend in the forest, sounded his horn and been joined by the bear. Mime has forged a sword for Siegfried, who takes the offered weapon, looking at it critically. He strikes the anvil with it and the sword breaks in pieces. He abuses Mime for his bad craftsmanship. Mime reproaches Siegfried for his ingratitude; he has looked after him, but is only hated in return. Siegfried admits that he has learned much from Mime, but never to like him. In fact he cannot stand him, always recognising the evil in him and preferring animals to him. Mime tries to come near him, saying that in his heart he really loves him, claiming to be both mother and father to him, but Siegfried has seen his own reflection and knows he in no way resembles Mime. He asks where his true parents are. Mime declares that he is no relation to Siegfried, but found Sieglinde in the forest, about to give birth to a child, and sheltered her out of pity. She died and Mime looked after the child. In answer to Siegfried's question, he tells him that his mother said that the child must be called Siegfried and that her name was Sieglinde. The sword was left him by his mother.
Siegfried orders Mime to repair immediately the broken sword, threatening him. With it he will go forth into the world, happy and free, and never come back. He dashes out into the forest, leaving Mime calling after him, then returning to the anvil and musing on the impossibility of mending the sword and letting Siegfried deal with Fafner.
In the following scene Wotan, in the guise of the Wanderer, comes out of the forest, carrying a spear as a staff. He seeks Mime's hospitality, which the latter is unwilling to give. The Wanderer offers to stake his life on being able to answer Mime's questions, if he fails; if he succeeds, he claims hospitality. Mime, anxious to defeat the unwanted guest, asks what race lives in the depths of the earth, and the Wanderer tells him the Nibelungs, who were forced by a magic ring to provide a rich treasure for Alberich, who sought to rule the world with it. To the second question as to the race living on the surface of the earth, the Wanderer answers that it is the giants; the giants Fasolt and Fafner took the Nibelungs' treasure and Fafner then killed his brother, taking the form of a dragon and guarding the treasure. Mime asks a third question as to what race lives above. The Wanderer tells him that gods live in the cloud-covered heights and their ruler is Wotan, in Valhalla. He has a spear and on it are the decrees that make the Nibelungs and giants subject for ever to the gods. Mime's questions were nothing, but now Mime too must wager his head against three questions from the Wanderer. He asks first the name of the family that has been the object of Wotan's anger, although he loves them. Mime answers correctly that it is the family of the Volsungs, Siegmund and Sieglinde, and their offspring Siegfried. The Wanderer asks what sword Siegfried must use to kill Fafner, and is told that it is Nothung. Mime rashly continues with the story of Nothung, broken by the spear of Wotan, but to be mended by a clever smith and used by a childish hero for Mime's own profit. The Wanderer's third question as to who will join together again the broken sword Mime cannot answer; his life now must be at the mercy of the one who will forge Nothung, the one who is fearless. The Wanderer leaves, smiling, while Mime sinks down on his stool in fear.
[10] Shuddering, Mime looks towards the forest, now lit by an accursed light that seems to approach, Fafner coming for him. With a cry, he collapses behind the anvil. Siegfried comes cheerfully in, looking around for Mime, and when he sees him asks why he is hiding behind the anvil. He asks about the sword. Mime recalls that only the one who has never known fear will forge the sword and resolves to teach Siegfried this lesson, thereby saving his own life. [11] Siegfried asks what fear is. Mime tells him that his mother has said that he must learn what fear is, before going out into the world. He talks of the terrors of the darkness in the forest, strange noises and mysterious lights that make him tremble.
[12] Siegfried knows nothing of this, but Mime will take him to Fafner, who will teach him. [13] Mime admits that he cannot mend the sword and Siegfried takes the broken pieces, files them down and heats the forge until it is glowing hot. Mime now realises that it is Siegfried who will kill him, but resolves, nevertheless, to use Siegfried to kill the dragon Fafner and then to try to take the ring from him. [14] Siegfried, who now knows the name of the sword, Nothung, sings to it as he forges it anew, describing what he is doing, how he felled a tree in the forest, which now blazes in the forge. [15]-[16] Mime makes ready a drugged drink to give Siegfried after the combat with Fafner, while the hero happily continues his work. [17]-[18] Enjoying his task, Siegfried bids his hammer strike and continues his song, while Mime is busy with his own plans. He takes the sword, now made whole again, and strikes the anvil, breaking it in two, now holding Nothung on high.
In what follows, Alberich watches outside Fafner's cave and threatens Wotan, planning to use the ring given in payment by Wotan to Fafner, to overthrow the gods. Mime and Siegfried approach. Mime stays back, while Siegfried rouses Fafner with his horn-call. They fight and Fafner is killed, but not before warning Siegfried of the danger from Mime. The giant's blood on his hand helps him to understand the song of the bird, which tells him to seek in Fafner's cave the Nibelung's gold, the Tarncap, and the ring, which will give him power over the whole world. He now understands Mime's treachery as he can read his thoughts, and kills him. From the bird he learns of Brünnhilde, whom he is to waken and rescue, on the way breaking the spear and the power of Wotan.

Becca came up with a brilliant plan today that we implemented for the first time. After months of clear skies and mild weather, it decided to snow and be cold right when I officially started my marathon training. Becca and I have typically been running at night, but with this change in the weather, our route has become somewhat treacherous in the dark. So we have decided to switch kids and run alone twice a week. All of our older kids are back in school, so we each just have a three year old boy at home--it's perfect! She dropped off Jackson at my house and ran while the boys played and I cleaned. Then a while later I took Lincoln to her house while I ran. Yes, I miss having her wit and wisdom with me while I run, but we are still going to go together on Saturdays. And I have to say I much prefer running in the daytime!
So, although I was scheduled for a rest day today, I ended up doing 3.46 miles--because I would be crazy to pass up a chance to run by myself in the daytime! After I got home I did a lower body strength workout. I plan on doing Pilates tonight as well--if Kirby will let me!
For breakfast we had some Oatmeal Raisin Bread with Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese. That sounds a lot fancier than it was--I just added pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice to fat free cream cheese.
Lunch was just a nice refreshing smoothie in a bowl topped with Kashi Go Lean Crunch--perfect after running!
I made breadsticks for the kids' afterschool snack--and I had a few of those as well. Sorry, no pictures!
Dinner was Corn and Bean Tostadas with a strange secret ingredient--chopped walnuts! I was just following the recipe--but it tasted good!
Now I will have my first real rest day tomorrow. I don't know what to think about that. I will rest from running, but I will still do an upper body workout and maybe the elliptical or some P90x as well. And more Pilates? We shall see.

"Know when it's time to go!"
With a microcontroller, a couple of ambient light sensors and some nifty little Mac OS X software, I was able to make it easy for people to figure out the right time to wander over to the potti.
The controller at the heart of the original iPotti #1 from 2009 defunct, sadly. Good news is that I've started working on iPotti No. 2. That's hilarious for several reasons!

A shrine is not a collection of objects to worship, but a place to awaken you to greater thoughts, feelings and noble actions.
Marianne Williamson
Perhaps it's a nook in your garden, or maybe simply the top of a bureau, a corner in your kitchen or even a window ledge. However you configure it, a sacred space is place for you to meditate, to pray, to rediscover and recover. It is a place where you can honor those things you hold most sacred and precious.

By the time you hop onto your aircraft, drink in hand and ready to settle in for your flight, you might stop to think about your dedicated, local team that helped prepare for your trip. They provided the quote and made sure the terminal and the jet itself were ready – but do you ever wonder what else happens behind the scenes? Let us introduce you to the world of flight operations.
Each department works together like so many moving parts in a Rube Goldberg machine: before a trip can be planned, detailed planning goes on behind the scenes in the Client Services, Charter, and Crew Coordination departments. These processes take place simultaneously, and all flow together to make each trip a reality. "Prior to a trip taking place, Client Services quotes pricing for trips to Jet Linx Jet Card clients, and trial members," said Missy Kemp, Client Services and Training Manager. Each trip is quoted based on a generic aircraft size category: Light, Mid, Super-Mid, or Heavy. "Additionally, each Client Services department receives aircraft owners' trip schedules." When the owners' trips are scheduled, other departments begin their pre-trip processes for those flights, including planning any needed maintenance events, crew scheduling, or wholesale trips.
"Our internal Charter team acts as the Client Services team for wholesale clients," said Erin Donnelly, Director of Fleet Optimization & Operator Relations. While Jet Linx does not offer retail charter flights to end users, this team markets availability and takes incoming requests from the wholesale market. These flights create revenue for aircraft owners to offset the cost of aircraft ownership. One difference is that the charter team generates quotes for the exact aircraft, not just the size category. "A charter request is usually more along the lines of, 'I need a Hawker 800XP in this location," Donnelly explained. This team relies heavily on the scheduling board in the flight operations system, or FOS. Everything related to an aircraft's schedule is stored in FOS, from planned flights to maintenance events and crew availability.
ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF A JET CARD IS THAT YOU HAVE THAT GUARANTEE. IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE AT 10 A.M., YOU CAN DO THATMissy Kemp
"Crew days off are approved and posted to the schedule board by the 20th day of the previous month," said Josh Carstensen, Crew Coordination Manager. Since pilots aren't on a regular Monday through Friday schedule, their days out of the office require a little more planning upfront. For days off in August, for example, crewmembers must make the request by the 15th of July, and they're then posted and approved by the 20th of July for planning purposes. Aircraft with two and three person crews have their own scheduling systems, and notations follow in the scheduling board. "For three-person crews, we'll notate who is on duty each day and highlighting any crew swap days," Carstensen said. "That's important, because if we have a three-day trip that's over a crew swap day where one crewmember is going off-duty and the other is coming on, that helps the Charter and Fleet Optimization departments know what they can schedule that aircraft for. Proper notice helps everyone plan more effectively."
Scheduled Trip
When a trip is scheduled – whether for a Jet Linx aircraft owner, a Jet Card client, or a wholesale charter customer – a series of events is set into place to ensure that every flight operates at the highest level.
"When a Jet Linx client schedules a trip, Client Services schedules the member trip into a generic aircraft on the operations board, depending on size," Kemp explained. The generic aircraft in FOS are divided by size (Light, Mid, Super Mid, or Heavy) and contain trip information and preferences. The Client Services teams assigns FBOs (or Fixed Base Operators) and adds passenger names, catering requests, and ground transportation needs. When an aircraft owner schedules a trip, a similar process kicks off – but the trip is scheduled in the actual aircraft in FOS instead of a generic profile. "We also add notes in an area called special handling, which are any special needs for the trip: if there will be a dog on board, the purpose of the trip, if there will be a lap child on board, or something trip-specific that the other departments will need to be aware of," she continued. Ideally, a firm departure time will be set, but a trip can be scheduled with a more general note of 'morning' or '8 am to 10 am,' for example. Jet Card clients are guaranteed aircraft availability 24/7/365, and as such they are able to set firm departure dates and times. "One of the benefits of a Jet Card is that you have that guarantee," Kemp noted. "If you want to leave at 10 a.m., you can do that. We may have a little more flexibility in scheduling with an aircraft owner." Aircraft owners make their aircraft available to Jet Card clients, and as such usually allow some flexibility in flight times to make sure the Jet Card trips are accommodated.
Once Client Services has recorded the trip in FOS, Flight Coordination and Fleet Optimization begin working on the trip. "Flight Coordination will check the new trip checklist items required, and Fleet Optimization will begin to look at aircraft options to complete the trip, looking at both in-fleet and off-fleet options," Kemp said. "On average, a tail number is assigned three to five days out from the trip. We try to average five days out whenever possible." If the trip is booked within a week of the departure, Crew Coordination works on assigning crew immediately, while Client Services checks the operations board to see if there is anything that will need further research, whether crew days off or a scheduled maintenance event.
The world of Flight Operations
ABOVE: Jet Linx Senior Client Services Specialist Carla White often sits with the team members in Flight Coordination or Charter to ensure optimal communication among the teams. The Client Services team at the National Operations Center works to train local Base teams and provide operational support from a national level.
Wholesale Charter trips operate in a similar fashion to client and owner trips, with a few key differences. A specific aircraft is booked when the trip is booked, the way owner trips are booked. "When we receive a signed contract or quote, each quote has a list of rules or policies to follow," Donnelly said. "And because we are booking specific aircraft, some aircraft require owner release and some require the Base be notified when the trip is booked." At times, a Base may choose to decline a wholesale trip: for example, if they've received an influx in requests for Midsize aircraft and the trip is for the last Mid available at that time, or if they are waiting for the owner to schedule a trip at that time.
When the trip is scheduled, the Charter team puts as much detail in the trip as possible – and when requested, will arrange ground transportation for the wholesale clients. At that point, the Flight Coordination department performs the same new trip checklist as for Jet Card clients and aircraft owners, and the team starts looking for a crew to fly the trip. "At time of booking, Charter is working with Crew Coordination to make sure we've got a qualified flight crew," Donnelly explained. Just as Jet Linx requires any off-fleet vendors to meet our safety requirements, others want to ensure that our pilots meet their standards. "We want to make sure that we've got the appropriate crew available." The Operations Outlook team in Flight Coordination starts reviewing the trip when it's scheduled – whether it takes place in two months or in two hours. "We
The Operations Outlook team in Flight Coordination starts reviewing the trip when it's scheduled – whether it takes place in two months or in two hours. "We follow the same checklist items for every trip," said Meric Reese, Flight Coordination Manager. "We look at permits, reservations, runway requirements, curfews, FBOs and capabilities, NOTAMs and anything affecting the trip, aircraft performance – although that can be difficult with member trips when we don't know what aircraft is booked yet." The team reviews crew duty times and advises Client Services and Charter of maximum crew duty time trips. For international trips, the team also verifies operations to the country and checks for handling, customs, and any needed permits.
A flight risk assessment is completed, including a review of risk levels and operational issues, and the team finds solutions to mitigate the factors. "We review any of these action items with the Fleet Optimization, Client Services, or Charter teams so alternate plans can be put into place prior to the trip and we provide the best service level we possibly can," he explained. "For example, if we schedule a flight into Aspen at night when it is a day-only airport, we would be able to go back to the customer and adjust those times the best we can."
On the day of the trip, Flight Coordination completes one final checklist, verifying that nothing has changed weather, crew duty times, and NOTAMs are all included. "We re-review the flight risk assessment and acknowledge it, as do the crew," Reese said. The crew is required to report to the departure airport 90 minutes prior to the scheduled departure, or 60 minutes for empty legs or on duty days over 12 hours. "The expectation on live legs with a 90-minute show is for crewmembers to be ready to depart 30 minutes prior to scheduled departure," Carstensen explained. "This timeframe allows for preflight inspections, fueling and final flight plans or clearance preparations and any cabin or catering items required are also handled during that time."
At one hour prior to the scheduled departure time, the crew reports into Flight Following that both pilots are on site and ready to go. "Any and all flight details are reviewed with Flight Following and confirmed: this includes that the catering requested is on board, alternate plans – if you have a runway performance issue and it wasn't resolved until that day, things like that are discussed at that time," Carstensen said.
Flight Following takes over once all reviews are complete. One of Flight Coordination's duties, team members are dedicated to Flight Following each day. "We update everyone on any delays, EDCT (Expect Departure Clearance Times) issues, or flow control programs," Reese said. "We advise Client Services or the Charter team on what kind of delays we're expecting and what alternate route or airport due to weather." Over the recent holiday season, for example, some airports were overwhelmed because of the number of airplanes going there, and holding patterns or diversions came into play: the Flight Following team makes sure that all players are aware of any issues. "We make sure the aircraft is going to the correct FBO, the catering is in place, and we've got ground transportation needs addressed," Reese noted. "Finally, the Flight Following team will address any sentiment from the crew and/ or the passengers on how the flight actually went at the end of each leg." This allows Jet Linx to take every opportunity to improve service internally and externally. The Flight Following duties include four major points: making sure the crew has reported in-position within 15 minutes of their deadline, making sure the flight has departed within 15 minutes of the planned departure time, rereleasing any flights delayed over 60 minutes, and monitoring the aircraft in flight. "If we're set to leave by 9 o'clock and we haven't left by 9:15, we're going to call the crew to find out what's going on: are the passengers late or is there a problem with the aircraft," Reese said. At that point, Flight Following will let Charter or Client Services know of any issues or changes to plans. "If the delay is over 60 minutes for a departure time, it usually means that Flight Coordination has to re-release our flight, which means all of our dayof and flight restriction checklists have to be redone." Once the flight takes off, the team tracks the aircraft's progress throughout the flight. "We monitor it from wheels up to wheels down to make sure the aircraft is going to the correct place. Any deviations – caused by anything from weather or maintenance to in-flight emergencies – we take immediate action to know what's happening."
Erin Donnelly
Post Trip
When the airplane lands, the crew checks in with Flight Following and reports that the aircraft is safely on the ground at the correct destination: the crew has the same 15-minute window to check in, or Flight Following will call the crew for details. "At this point we ask how the passengers are doing, how the crew's doing, ask if there were any issues with the aircraft and any feedback they can give us on how the trip went," Reese explained. The crew completes post-leg and post-trip duties, including updating Flight Coordination with any feedback, reporting any discrepancies to maintenance, and tidying up and restocking the aircraft. "This helps us prepare if there's a trip scheduled in the aircraft for the next day," Carstensen explained. "We get all the information gathered, and that helps us know if we need to call Maintenance or get an overnight cleaning done, and to do what we can to mitigate any delays for the next day." The crew logs post-flight times into FOS mobile, or provides times to Flight Coordination over the phone if they are unable to input the times. "That allows us to accurately determine crew duty time and verify crew duty time and flight time, from a regulation standpoint," Reese said.
After the trip, feedback from the crew and passengers is reviewed in an in-depth process for Service Improvement Opportunities (SIOs). "The process can really be started at any point in time, but the day of is when most of these opportunities – whether there's a negative, neutral, or positive impact on a flight – are going to be created," Donnelly explained. The process was created to have a tracking method for each flight, and to share information more freely across the entire company. "It's meant to be updated and give real-time updates on the progress and conclusion," she continued. "We want to use it to measure client sentiment, both good and bad. We also have a monthly meeting that [Kemp] runs with NOC and Base team members." The meeting reviews anything that could be considered a negative – even something that may not have had an impact on the specific flight in questions, but that could affect a future flight, like a late positioning. "We can learn from any potential missteps," Donnelly explained. She emphasized the importance of real-time updates for the SIO process, because a solution can only help a future flight if all team members are aware of what the solution is. "If something happens at 9 a.m. that is resolved at 10 a.m. but it's not updated until 6 p.m., the process is really useless to us."
The Client Services team greets the flight, and will do a follow-up call for any feedback and to check in on any SIOs. They then complete the billing process, and work to prepare the invoice for accounting. "Charter does very similar things," Donnelly explained. "They follow up with the broker and get any feedback on how the flight went, verifying times and getting the invoicing ready." Fleet Optimization prepares invoices for off-fleet vendors.
The expert teams at Jet Linx analyze every aspect of each trip to make sure that each one is performed as smoothly as possible. Each piece falls into place in a meticulously calibrated pattern, following FAA regulations and our own company best practices. While there are still aspects of every flight that can't be controlled – like the weather – it certainly isn't for lack of trying.

Not to put too fine a point on the obvious obfuscation, President Obama has promised the American people, not to mention the Iraqis and the world at large, that American troops would leave Iraq's cities by an agreed-upon date this summer; and when inquiring of our General Motors Generals, Petraeus and Odierno, if American troops have "left," he appears perfectly willing to accept as answer: "The cities have moved 'right,' sir!"
Now I think I see the way that "all" American forces will withdraw from Iraq by yet another date certain two years hence: "Iraq" will simply move to the right on some American-drawn map until it merges with Kuwait and Iran. This will leave American troops, mercenaries, and corporate camp followers in exactly the positions they occupy today, only in some nebulously named territory not named "Iraq."
President (and Army General) Dwight Eisenhower spoke truly when he said that he pitied any future President who did not understand the American military the way he did. Certainly, President Obama -- America's newly-minted Commander-in-Brief -- clearly doesn't understand the U.S. Military one bit, or else he would have long since cashiered Generals Petraeus and Odierno for flagrantly and publicly deriding, while actively working to undermine, his announced policy of withdrawing all American military forces from Iraq within a perfectly reasonable -- indeed far too leisurely -- time frame. Coupled with the disastrously dumb idea of escalating an equally stupid quagmire conundrum in Afghanistan, it appears that President Obama has settled, by default, on the same failed "guns AND butter" policies of his failed predecessors Johnson, Nixon, and Bush, Jr.
At any rate, I'd like to know what this up-coming panel discussion has to say about neutralizing the ticket-punching American military careerists who put personal promotion and Orwellian Newspeak ahead of sane national foreign policy any day.
Whatever the Obama administration may want to do, or think should be done, if we don't face the record we created, if we only look forward, if we only round up the usual suspects, if we try to turn that page in history and put a paperweight atop it, we will be haunted by the Bush years until hell freezes over. This was, of course, the lesson -- the only one no one ever bothers to call a lesson -- of the Vietnam years. Because we were so unwilling to confront what we actually did in Vietnam -- and Laos and Cambodia -- because we turned the page on it so quickly and never dared take a real look back, we never, in the phrase of George H.W. Bush, "kicked the Vietnam syndrome." It still haunts us.
However busy we may be, whatever tasks await us here in this country -- and they remain monstrously large -- we do need to make an honest, clear-headed assessment of what we did (and, in some cases, continue to do), of the horrors we committed in the name of... well, of us and our "safety." We need to face

If there's one lesson I've learned in covering business, it's that business people crave stability of above all. Even a negative regulation is better than a changing regulation. Change can paralyze businesses, as they stay on the sidelines with hiring or product development, waiting to see how the changes play out. Can't blame them, but it poses a problem when we have nearly 15 million unemployed.
So, what worries me a little is that it seemed that the uncertainity over the health care overhaul, which was being blamed right and left for slowness in hiring, was beginning to resolve itself into the ordinary lobbying that goes into regulation making. Some orderliness seemed to be underway. Now everything is up in the air again. Aside from whether individual provisions and concerns have merit and should be revisited, I just hate to see anything that slows hiring. People need to be working, if our economy is to move again.

Man in a Van

Moving into a new apartment (mid Jan) and need to collect some furniture from ikea - need a "man in a van" to help. Pick up from Ikea and drop off in Poble Sec
Replies (1)
hey Alex as far as I know there are a load of Bolivian guys with vans who hang around outside Ikea precisely for this purpose! So you could probably risk going and maybe finding one first before you go in and buy a load of stuff. Guess the prices will be fair.

Crunchy Jumbles
I sat and wrapped my cards I had made over the last week while watching the Apprentice last night, and I made 35 - now I want to make some more ....but have got a block - I need some inspiration.
Well another blog featuring baking - one day I might get myself organised and start baking for the Country Markets...need to go on a food hygeine course first.
So today I have made some cookies - you get loads out of this...and they must be fairly light as they are full of rice krispies!
Crunchy Jumbles
115g 4oz Butter or Marg
225g 8oz sugar
1 egg
1tsp vanilla essence
175g 6oz plain flour
1/2 tspn bicarb of soda
115g 4oz of crisped rice (probably 3 oz would do)
100g 4oz choc chips
beat fat and sugar together, add the egg. Then fold in the sifted flour and bicarb...lastly add the cereal and choc chips..until mixed in
drop spoonfuls of the dough onto baking sheets - we made 25 the recipe says 36 so I guess it depends how big you want them
Cook 180c 350f Gas 4 for 12 - 15 minutes....use a spatula to transfer to a cooling rack...lovely - tested by Owen and they are good!
SO are you ready for the BIG challenge? Sue has been busy organising us all and it is looking fab...there are prizes up fo grabs and it is on for a WHOLE week this time.....it all starts on Friday....SO DON'T FORGET TO VISIT THE FORUM!
I have had a lot of entries for the wordsearch - glad to see that you are all enjoying it - I will keep it up as a regular thing...still loads of time to enter if you have not had the chance...so grab yourself a cup of coffee and you maybe winning a crafty prize....
Once the BIG challenge is over I will do a Rubber Stamp challenge - if anyone fancies hosting a challenge - that would be great - make a change from my style. I have some nice freebies to give away as well.....

The yards are ingrained into Poland's national consciousness and were at the forefront of Solidarity's challenge to Communist hegemony in 1980.
They faced bankruptcy after the Commission stated said that unless the government produced a coherent plan for their future, they would have to repay £800 million of state subsidies.
This would have driven the yards, including Gdansk's, where Lech Walesa once worked as an electrician, into bankruptcy.
Poland's centre-right government, which had pleaded for more time, now has until September to come up with a privatisation strategy for the two state-owned yards in Gdynia and Szczecin.
The already privatised Gdansk yard has until the end of the same month to send its programme.
While the stay of execution has been greeted with relief in Poland, Neelie Kroes, the EU's competition commissioner, warned against any complacency.
"We have now entered the second half of extra time and it is essential that the Polish authorities use this final opportunity to come up with solutions that will guarantee the viability of the shipyards without undue subsidies," she said.
The Commission's decision to delay may also have been taken to avoid problems with Poland.
The country's euro-sceptic president and former Solidarity activist, Lech Kaczynski, has suggested he might veto the Lisbon Treaty.
This possibility may have increased if Brussels had demanded the repayment of the state aid.

Julie, Julie do you love me?
Bobby Sherman, remember him?? Had one hit (that I know of) and really good hair in the 70's...
today I heard his hit, "Julie, Julie do you love me" and it brought back a flood of memories. I remembered my dad sitting behind the wheel in our station wagon... I was sitting in the back seat and this song came on the radio... He started singing along with it while he caught my eye in the mirror... I was SO upset!! I hated that song!! HE WAS TEASING ME!!! AND I HATED BEING TEASED! My name was NOT JULIE!! IT WAS JEWEL!!!
Now that I'm all grown up I think that it is so cool and sweet that he would sing that song to me as he was not a singer~ not even in the shower ~the only time I ever heard him sing was this song for me. I guess maybe he did love me....

Role of Ict
Internal draft 30 June 2005
Motivation and expected outcomes of current line of policy research Estonia, similarly to many other member states as well as the EU-25 as the whole, is currently undergoing careful rethinking of the scenarios for longer term socioeconomic development and the respective strategy options. Very much in-line with the EU's Lisbon Strategy, broad in innovation policy with it's implications for education, employment, science and technology policy as well as all other areas of public policy, has to be seen as the very core of the policy process. The historic experience over the last few hundred years demonstrates vividly, that in small economies foreign investment bringing about rapid technological, managerial and social change have always been the very the key driver in catching-up process. Therefore, as highlighted in the Estonian latest R&D and innovation policy review, produced by the Secretariat of the Estonian R&D Council for the Government of the Republic, integration of well targeted FDI strategy into broader development strategy is absolutely crucial.1 Both current and prospective future developments in ICT sector are of special importance in this context, as more than the half of productivity increase in OECD countries has derived in recent years from the ICTs and the related organisational and social change. Therefore, current line of research of the IST eVikings II project, seeks to draw lessons from - the historic industrialisation paths of European small countries as well as more recent success of FDI based industrialisation strategies in Ireland, Singapore, etc. - the recent trends in IST R&DI and industrial investment in OECD countries and - the future IST related development scenarios from European Commission, ISTAG, NSF, various Asian governments, etc. providing thereby input to the policy thinking for: - the Foreign Investor Service with Enterprise Estonia,2 - the forthcoming Estonian R&D and innovation strategy 2007-2013, - the national development plan and state budget strategy 2007-2013, In order to maximise the relevance of the efforts and smooth take-up of the results, the main conclusions of this line of research are communicated, as a part of the on-going research, directly to the key policy-makers from key ministries and executive agencies, such as Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications, Ministry of Education and Research, Ministry of Finance, as well as foreign investment arm of Enterprise Estonia, but also to the central bank, etc. Also publication of the results in the Journal of the Estonian Parliament (RiTo) is sought, contributing thereby to the R&DI and economic policy discussion at the parliamentary level.

Diablo Swing Orchestra came to my attention back in 2006 with their debut release The Butcher's Ballroom. My wife discovered them online somewhere and insisted we order the CD despite my reservations. It didn't take long for me to become a fan, though. If you aren't familiar with them, they are an avant-garde group, classified by band leader Daniel Håkansson as "riot opera", a fitting term in my opinion. The Butcher's Ballroom captured my interest with such standout songs as Balrog Boogie and my DSO all-time favorite Infralove. The album was fresh, different, challenging and unique. In 2008 I was fortunate enough to catch them live in Germany and they impressed even more. With 2009's Sing-Along Songs for the Damned and Delirious they lost me a bit. It didn't seem to have the magic the first album had and the songwriting was weaker. Now DSO are back with Pandora's Piñata with a slightly revised and expanded lineup.
Pandora's Piñata is a noticeable improvement over the previous album, but still not reaching the greatness of The Butcher's Ballroom. They have added two horn players to the group as permanent members and changed drummers, a switch I noticed on the first track, and a significant improvement. DSO is defined and differentiated by several things – vocalist Annlouice Loegdlund (a classically trained opera singer), cellist Johannes Bergion, and their outstanding songwriting. Normally I am not a fan of female vocalists, but Annlouice has a powerful delivery that I definitely appreciate. Cello is definitely not a normal "metal" instrument, but such string instruments have become more prevalent in the more "alternative" types of metal. DSO incorporates it all very well.
Pandora's Piñata kicks off with Voodoo Mon Amour, a rousing song reminiscent of Balrog Boogie from the first album. Very big band in its approach and sound, it is a fitting way to start a DSO album. Lots of trumpet and horn work throughout and DSO's trademark jazzy kind of riffing, along with nice vocal work. Clearly improved drumming on this track as well, noticeable in the first 30 seconds of the song. Next up is Guerrilla Laments, a Latin flavored song, almost a Mariachi feel to it. The horns here add a nice Spanish flair to the work. Really a cool song. Kevlar Sweethearts continues with the initial blast of boldness on the album, a song that is a bit different, alternating between mellow vocals and stronger instrumental parts.
How to Organize a Lynch Mob is a minute long instrumental cello intro to Black Box Messiah, one of the best songs on the album, reminding me somewhat of the previously mentioned Infralove. It is a mid-paced grooving kind of song with horns used in what sounds to me like a tribute to the old Batman television show from the 60s (POW! BLAM!). It is over all too quickly, though. Exit Strategy of a Wrecking Ball has a nice heavy riff, outstanding drumming, and great incorporation of the cello (as well as a cool title). This is also one of the standout tracks on the album, incorporating all the elements that make DSO what they are.
Next song, Aurora, features some nice vocal work by Annlouice, but lacks any degree of heaviness and is a skipable song. Mass Rapture has a Middle Eastern feel to it in the vocal work, especially the chorus, and develops some nice riffs inclusive of the cello, and well-done horn work. Honey Trap Aftermath is a song that shuffles and swings along, a bit mellow, but certainly different, with more great horn work. It sounds like it could be a demented big band from the 40s.
Of Kali Ma Calibre, roughs things up a bit with some nice guitar work, transforming to a song that is almost a military march. Soaring operatic vocals create an epic feeling along with the bombastic drumming and heavy songwriting, another favorite on Pandora's Piñata. Justice for Saint Mary concludes the album as an orchestral piece, slowly building (perhaps taking a bit too long), reminding of an old movie score, but ultimately becoming a heavy song, even somewhat industrial in its conclusion. It is a song I dig, but it takes a bit too long to develop.
Here is the song Voodoo Mon Amour, a typical stylistic representation of DSO's music.
DSO is an acquired taste and may be a stretch for many metalheads. If you are open to new and different genres of metal, or if you are already a DSO fan, I highly recommend picking up Pandora's Piñata. It has quickly grown on me and is a significant addition to DSO's catalog as well as somewhat of a return to form of The Butcher's Ballroom.
I hear the sound in a METAL way.

Fart Talking Tom
Skip Advertisement

Tom is a nasty cat who won't listen to his master. He likes to fart in the living room because there is his favorite spot. Tom knows to fart in many sounds and he tries each of them every day. His master is very ashamed of his behavior and he wants to take Tom live outside. Help the lovely Tom to revenge and press the buttons you want to hear different kinds of farts. Have fun!
It&1quo;s probably a smarter move at the moment!

ACCESSORY 19: Cell phone holder $13 @ Nike Outlet store
Okay Nike's alright.
I've never liked Nike in the past and still aren't fond of the over rated brand. It also looks bad with the logos blown up to 3 foot banner sizes and plastered on Mexican car rear windshields all over Los Angeles. Glad someone likes it though. I'm also a tiny person, so size small T-shirts are still big enough to be a nightgown. Down to my knees.
I have to admit, Nike does have some cool products though. One of which I just purchased at an outlet store. It's cell phone holder - the band type that straps around your arm. The phone slot is secured by velcro for easy access. I figure it'll be easy to feel the phone vibrate if I get a call and it'll be much more easily accessible than in the back pouch behind my seat. Items would slip out of my pants pocket and my new jacket doesn't have side pockets....only 3 in the rear for bottles. It's the bicycle kind. So this strap seems like a good choice. I can't test it out until tomorrow though.
Update: I've had a chance to test it and it doesn't work very well. It might be better for other folks, but it's way too snug for my particular Verizon LG Versa phone. It felt like it fit perfectly at the store, but it's too tight for real life use. The cell phone can barely be removed from the case while wearing gloves and totally impossible to put back in. I might us it for other applications like when I go snowboarding.
My flight is delayed back home so I'm sitting in LAS on free Wi-fi just realizing that it'll be too late to trike by the time I get home. And it's supposedly raining. Sucks.

Dearest Readers,
Time is very tight this morning so a short blog it will be.
An article in the Saturday Globe has me now feeling wonder, awe, amazement and all good words that mean "holy moly".
Brain surgeons no longer have to saw open a human skull to perform certain kinds of surgery. They can now feed an instrument, called a micro-catheter, which is about the thickness of a single human hair, through a blood vessel to seal off an aneurysm and save a patient's life.
The technology is astonishing! Not only am I stunned by the neurologist's ability to perform this feat of medical wizardry but by the person who actually invented and built such a device.
Inspiring Message for the Day: We can do anything! We really can. If we refuse our limitations and let our imaginations take us higher there is no telling what can happen.

Tumwater, WA (PRWEB) July 21, 2015
Dr. Ryan and Megan Bond, experienced dentists in Tumwater, WA, now offer Biolase WaterLase™ to assist in the treatment of periodontal disease and other common oral ailments. Patients who receive treatments with the assistance of the Biolase WaterLase™ system typically experience decreased pain and less bleeding during and after the procedure when compared to traditional treatment methods involving drills. This is due to the unique way that the system utilizes a proprietary combination of air, water and YSGG laser wavelengths to shape and cut bone and gum tissue with little or no need for anesthetic.
Cramer & Bond Dentistry is pleased to now offer periodontal disease treatment with the utilization of the Biolase WaterLase™ system. Patients in need of a dentist in Tumwater, WA, who can decrease their discomfort during treatment while minimizing the use of anesthetic shots are encouraged to find out more about the unique pain-reduction aspects of the Biolase WaterLase™ system. Lasers have been prominently used throughout the dental field to achieve greater accuracy and speed during a variety of surgeries. Now, with the introduction of the Biolase WaterLase™ system, dental professionals are also able to increase patient comfort during a variety of oral treatments with less anesthetic – or no anesthetic at all.
The Biolase WaterLase™ system is able to increase patient comfort by doing away with the common triggers of dental pain: vibration, pressure and heat. Instead, this unique gum disease treatment method uses a gentle, targeted spray of water along with laser energy to remove diseased gum tissue and perform many other surgical procedures with only mild levels of discomfort. The system is also more accurate than a drill and can minimize trauma to healthy tissue while diseased tissue is being removed from the mouth. The unique coagulating capabilities of the Biolase WaterLase™ system minimize swelling and bleeding and facilitate a more comfortable and quick recovery period.
Dr. Ryan and Megan Bond are proud to be dentists in Tumwater, WA, who use the highly-acclaimed Biolase WaterLase™ system to decrease patient discomfort during common procedures such as periodontal disease treatment. Patients who are interested in undergoing more convenient, accurate and comfortable treatment methods for the removal of gum disease are invited to schedule an appointment with Cramer & Bond Dentistry.

text: Hi all! Just thought I'd finally create an account here. I'm a looooooooooong time member on Glocktalk (since Feb '99), but new to Northwest Firearms. I'm a fairly casual shooter (especially compared to some of y'all), and while I have a CPL, I only carry occasionally. I have Glocks 21, 26, 30, AR-15 16", Benelli M1S90 Pistol grip, and I'm in the process of looking at teaching my children basic shooting, so may be adding a P22 and a pistol-caliber carbine like the Kel-tec Sub-2000 or Storm CX4 to the mix over the next year or so. Looking forward to getting to know everyone here!

Rating: 14/20
Plot: Dr. Peyton Westlake is having difficulties in his efforts to produce fake skin in his laboratory. He's also got girl problems and a funny haircut. When some bad guys blow him and his laboratory up, he repairs his disfigured face and body with masking tape and putty and wanders through the darkness to seek revenge.
This isn't a great movie, but it's still worth watching for Raimi's typical visual thrills and wry sense of humor. Raimi's superhero tale nods and nudges both the old and the new, both B-sci-fi nincompoopery and polished big-budget comic book flicks. Darkman's a ton of fun until the incoherent finale where it does its best impression of a Batman movie and bursts at the seams with nonsensical action and makes a big sloppy mess all over the screen. Liam Neeson is really awful any time his character is thrown into an unnecessary serious moment, especially anything relating to the unnecessary romantic sub-plot. For evidence, watch a scene where he gets angry after winning a carnival game and not being allowed a pink elephant for his girlfriend. During the action scenes or scenes where Neeson is alone, he seems to be channeling Raimi's boy Bruce Campbell, especially in a scene where he says, "They took my hands!" or in the carnival scene where he repeats, "See the dancing freak--pay five bucks!" ad nauseum. I really loved Danny Elfman's weird score, his trademark vocals perfect against oddball montages and Raimi camera swoops. The contrived but creative skin transplant stuff works well as Darkman ingeniously plots his revenge. It's only when the dumb action scenes stomp all over the proceedings that Darkman gets a little tiresome and typical. My favorite scene: one of the bad guys has a prosthetic leg/machine gun that he uses early in the movie. It's how the posse sneaks a weapon into the place where they want to shoot up some other guys. A few scenes later, during a scene in which it wasn't necessary to sneak a gun in, the camera pans past a guy shooting a machine gun and then continues to pan to the guy hopping on one leg while he watches. That's either really really funny or I'm drunk again.
Kairow, have you seen this one?

It's been a really long time since I have seen this, but I thought it was an excellent, dark, offbeat action film. By the way, when you are done with your men, there is a comic-based action film called "Kickass" about which I would like to hear your opinion. Do you have a man-breakup date in mind?
This gets a 16 from memory.

Did you catch Kairow's thoughts about 'Kick Ass' on his blog? He writes about both the comic book and the movie.
I have just a few more "man" movies to go, and then I'll return to regularly scheduled programming.

Oh, there's the link to Kairow's blog post about 'Kick Ass'...

Yes, I saw this in the theater. For whatever reason, it never struck a cord. It should have what with Raimi, superheroes, a guy with a trenchcoat, and such.
At the time, my youthful ernest never allowed me to get past the "they took my hands' or the dance sequence.
On reviewings, I couldn't get that original taste out of my mouth. The same way I cannot eat Spaghettios after once getting sick after eating them.
Darkman is to Spaghettios as memory is to vomit.
- October 17, 2010 at 4:56 PM
- Shane said...
Wait...you hated the scenes I liked?
I agree about Spaghettios though. That spelling doesn't look right.
- October 17, 2010 at 5:17 PM
My memory sucks. I watched this again and was a little appalled that I gave it a 16. Like the "Evil Dead" movies, the film style and acting are way, way over-the-top, but it doesn't really work in the superhero genre. Schindler is really awful and McDormand must have wondered what she got herself into (the Coens should remake this). There could be a decent story here, but it is buried beneath Raimi's bizarre presentation (I'm amazed Spiderman 2 such a good film). "Darkman" is all just a slightly distastful joke made for "Evil Dead" fans, only. A revised 13.
- October 24, 2010 at 12:23 AM
- Shane said...
I would love to see a Coen Bros. superhero movie.
'Spiderman 2' is just slightly better than this movie. And 'Evil Dead 2' is better than 'Spiderman 2'...so is 'Drag Me to Hell,' I think. 'Army of Darkness' and 'Spiderman 3' aren't very good.
- October 24, 2010 at 7:21 AM
We really don't agree on "Spiderman 2", which I consider one of the very best superhero films and give a 19 to. "Evil Dead 2 " and "Drag me to Hell" were both fun, but too silly to give them anything higher than a 15. "Spiderman 3" was a disappointment, but still gets a 13 from me. I liked it about as much as "Darkman".

10 day Birthday
Byron Bay Travel Blog› entry 1 of 1 › view all entries
Firstly what i love about Byron Bay is that everyone is soooo laid back and not in a hurry to get anywhere they may as well all stand still. You only have to walk for 10mins and you feel like you have seen all of byron, but in a good way.
I stayed in beachouse just a little out from the high street and i wasnt too impressed. It was a nice in a way but for me i wasnt feeling it, the only good thing was that it had its own private beach which was nice and peacefull. In the beachouse my friends key didnt work to the guys bathrooms so he could only use them when someone else would let him in as the owner didnt seemed too bothered. I then stayed in Main beach backpackers which even though it was HUGE it was nice and clean. It has a nice seating area on the roof and in a small court yard.
The beach hotel bar just on main beach was really good to go to just for a drink in the day or for a night out as they always seemed to have live bands or DJ's. Cheeky Monkeys is good for backpackers as they have drink and food offers but its not a good place to go to if you have high standards of yourself. I could see myself living in Byron as the relaxed atmosphere seems good for your soul.
On my birthday my friend took me sky diving in Byron and i have to say it was the best thing i have ever done in my life!! I had the WORST hangover i have had and on the plane up i thought i was going to be sick so my guy decided to film me just in case i was sick on the way down!! i was last out of the plane and the image of 15 people 'falling' out of a plane was so werid.

- Victoria confessed in her book that a Spice Girls security guard once told her not to make eye contact with screaming fans and paparazzi: "That's why celebrities wear dark glasses."
- When the Spice Girls reunited for their 2007 tour, each one had performed a solo. What did Posh do for hers?While Melanie "Sporty Spice" Chisolm sang her dance floor hit "I Turn to You" and Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell turned out the disco hit "It's Raining Men," Posh decided to do what she does best – strut down the catwalk, to Madonna's "Like a Virgin" and RuPaul's "Supermodel."
- She met her husband, David Beckham after one of his Manchester United soccer matches . When David saw the Spice Girls video "Say You'll Be There," he pointed to Victoria Adams and said, "That's the girl for me and I'm going to get her!"
- When she was 8-year-old, Victoria Adams had visions of Fame and fortune after seeing the 1982 film, which starred Irene Cara. Sitting in the theater, "I knew what I wanted to do – just like that – I wanted to be Coco." Soon after, she enrolled in the Jason School of Dance and Drama and went on to study at Laine Arts Theatre College.
- The Spice Girls' action figures outsold the famous Barbie.
- Though she is a fashion icon, the former Posh Spice admits that she doesn't always get fashion right. Her worse outfit ever : His-and-hers matching Gucci leather outfits that she and David wore to a Versace party. "Goodness me, that picture haunts me. To be completely honest, I don't know whether to start with the hair or the actual outfit. It was probably everything. It was just pretty horrible, full stop."
- In 2007 at Madame Tussauds' museum Posh and Becks were given roles as the parents of Baby Jesus , Mary and Joseph. Also featured: Samuel L. Jackson and Hugh Grant dressed as shepherds and President George Bush as one of the Three Wise Men. The display was vandalized just a week after its unveiling and had to be shut down.

This has been a transformative year at NWSS Library. There have been significant changes in the digital resources available and the physical layout. We are moving at a fast pace towards a Learning Commons. As always, we strive to meet our goals of offering exciting opportunities for learning and discovery and serving the needs of all members of the school community. In line with our school growth plan of engagement , we asked ourselves, "how can the NWSS Library enhance student learning such that students comes to the library not because they "have to", but rather because the library inspires a personal investment in learning and a sense belonging ?
We have updated our print collections to better serve the needs of independent readers. We have "genrefied" fiction and added the category of "popular non-fiction." This has made it easier to browse the collection according to interest and for us to visually inspect which areas have the most circulation and adjust our purchasing decisions based on student interests.
Open Spaces.
We removed static desktop computers and replaced them with a cart of wi-fi enabled Chromebooks. New open spaces can be used for a photography studio, student groupings or setting up student displays.
Technology in Learning
New equipment: Digital camera, lighting, microphone, a green / grey screen , two 3 D printers, a cart of Chromebooks, arduinos, micro:bits, Spheros and more.
Virtual Library – Audiobooks
We're trying to change attitudes in how we access books. We expanded our Virtual Learning Commons to include Overdrive Audiobooks. Audiobooks are a direct response to our September Student Needs Survey and also a way to enhance teachers' professional learning by adding educational non-fiction to the audio collection.
Learning together with the community
1000+ students attended a week-long series of seminars about the politics, science, and economics of climate change during Climate Justice Week. We invited activists, scientists, and CEOs to our library who encouraged individual and collective actions towards a sustainable world. Also, thanks to Raz Chan, Mental Toughness Coach and author, Eilleen Cook, who volunteered their time to mentor our students.
Many classes learned sewing, coding, circuits, microcontrollers, and 3D printing. The resources came from many benefactors like the District Innovation grant, Fuel for Schools and the Micro:Bit Foundation. We also had our first Maker Fair which celebrated the innovations and inventions of our students and community.
As always, we love opportunities to collaborate with teachers. We each participated in Innovation Grants. Ms Jones worked with Mr Tyler and Ms Crosby on Digital Makerspaces. Ms Wethered inquired into First Nations and Social Justice graphic novels with Ms. Sacco and Ms Patterson. The District facilitators were also frequent visitors and we aimed to strike a balance between working with individual classes and having large multi grade events so everyone could come to the library at least once.
Hyack Teen Read Award
This is our 7th year co-sponsoring the Hyack Teen Read awards with the NWPL. This year's winning novel was Awkward by Svetlana Chmakova.
We have strived to support and celebrate the learning of our students and teachers in as many ways possible. We are proud of our stories of learning and look forward to more discovery and creating next year

Not much happening on the home front...infact, it's been a long week. Sunday night came down with a cold/flu or whatever you want to call it. So, I have been under the weather. Haven't even picked up a crochet hook in a week or more. But...I did manage to tie a bunch of odd lots together to make a "scrappy scarf" some time in the near future. A good way to use up some scraps, right? (You know me...I can't throw a damn thing out!!!)
So, here is "my pile" of scraps...I'll put them together with a strand of off-white. I've seen them on a few web-sites and found them quite unique!!
Back to work tomorrow...nice place to visit...but I have my eyes and ears open....if you know what I mean. Not my cuppa tea. And Lord knows, it's NOT the people I work with...they're awesome!!!
See you soon...need to get a few things listed in my eBay store.
New "bread"!
