Remove Programs from user start menu
Hello, can anybody tell me how to delete program entries from a specific user start menu?
PC's have multiple user accounts, for designers and administrators within the business. Designers do not need access to Sage Accounts so I want to remove it from their start menus and administrators do not need access to dreamweaver and thus I want to remove it from their start menu.
When I right click on the item in a user start menu, it deletes the item from all user users start menu!
How can I overcome this problem?
Many thanks in advance.

Windows 10, Home Clean Install
If I understand correctly, you can right click and pin to start menu. Once pinned it should be there for individual accounts and not be changed.
Bottom line, pin it to start menus that you want.

Hi ukracer and welcome to Windows 7 Forums
This is actually quite straightforward. What you need to do is to remove the shortcuts from the Start Menu Shared by All Users (SMSbAU) and move them to the appropriate User Start Menu (USM).
The locations are as follows (note that you will need to refer to the Tutorial in order to be able to see the necessary locations: Hidden Files and Folders - Show or Hide)
Start Menu Shared by All Users
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
User Start Menu (<UserName> = account name)
C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
With both open on the screen, simply right-click the shortcuts that you want to move from the SMSbAU window and select Cut. Now, right-click on the USM window and select Paste. Repeat until all shortcuts are in the correct place. You will need to do this for each class of user, so that each has access only to the programs that they require. If there are more than one user for each class, and each has their own account, then you will also need to do the following.
Open two USM windows, one of which is the one you had open above and the other being one belonging to a user of the same class. Next, right-click one of the shortcuts on the first window and select Copy. Now, right-click on the other window and select Paste. Repeat this for all shortcuts, and for all users of that class.

How to permanently remove programs from the Start Menu

With 93 million people traveling for Thanksgiving this year, according to AAA, all eyes are on the holiday weather forecast and a big storm moving across the southern United States.
With 93 million people traveling for Thanksgiving this year, according to AAA, all eyes are on the holiday weather forecast and a big storm moving across the southern United States.
The storm has crippled the West, causing at least four deaths and ice storms in Texas on Sunday.
It's expected to hit the Poconos on Tuesday night into Wednesday, causing headaches for travelers heading out to visit family.
"It's just a bad time to have a storm like this," Ohio meteorologist and Pocono weather watcher Ben Gelber said.
Gelber is predicting that the Poconos will see rain Tuesday into Wednesday, with blustery cold temperatures Wednesday into Thanksgiving Day, though he warned that the forecast could change.
Starting Tuesday night through Wednesday morning, the area will be hit with an estimated 2 inches of rain, and relatively mild temperatures, he said.
"We're in for a soaking rain Tuesday night," Gelber said. "Now the concern is not with a wintry scenario but flooding."
Snow is still in the forecast to our north and west during that time, Gelber said. Travelers heading west on Interstate 80 should expect high winds and snow, and possible whiteouts. "It will look bad in northwest Pennsylvania into the Northern Tier counties," Gelber said.
By Wednesday afternoon, the storm is expected to have pushed out of our area. At that point, temperatures are expected to drop in the Poconos and some light snow is possible, Gelber said.
Thursday morning, the danger will shift to icy roads.
"The problem will be the freezing of all that moisture," Gelber said. "There could be a thin layer of ice covered by light snow if you're traveling after midnight and first thing Thursday."
Gelber's predicting the storm will have a disastrous affect on air travel everywhere from Atlanta to Boston. Millions will travel by air over the holiday.
"Wednesday's going to be a big problem across the Eastern Seaboard for air travel. And that will have a ripple effect across the Midwest."
Delays could begin Tuesday, he said, continuing through the holiday.
"We can say for certain this is going to be a very disruptive storm," Gelber said. "Not just the East Coast cities engulfed in rain and wind, but there will be a ripple effect as far as delays."
Gelber said large snowstorms on Thanksgiving aren't unheard of. On Nov. 24, 1971, a storm dropped 12.5 inches in Stroudsburg and as much as 24 in Mount Pocono. The storm caused the postponement of the annual Turkey Day game, he remembered.
"I remember the forecast was maybe 1 to 3 inches," Gelber said. "Nobody was expecting to wake up to 1 to 3 feet."

Friday Faves and Celebrations
As I mentioned in Wednesday's IWSG post, I'm planning to blog more frequently. I know that several bloggers do lists each Friday and I decided I wanted to try that myself. So each Friday I'm going to post 5 favorite things in a variety of categories. We'll see how this goes!
For the first week I'm starting with something very simple - my 5 favorite pictures of my dog Clancy and my cat Nate. Clancy and Nate used to be on this blog a lot more than they have been recently and they're kind of annoyed that they've been ignored. So I promised them I'd try to give them more attention. ;)
First up, their version of a conga line:
Nate when he's had WAY too much to drink:
Clancy letting me know exactly what he thinks of my idea to dress him up as Batdog for Halloween:
And Clancy letting me know how sick he is of me making him sit for the camera:
Finally, as I am a Game of Thrones addict I totally love my Jon Snow Funko toy I got recently. Nate doesn't agree at all and has no patience with my nonsense.
So there's my first round of Friday Faves. If Clancy and Nate have their way they will be the subject every week. :D
While we're on the subject of pets and animals, I wrote earlier this summer of my plans to start a new blog devoted to animal rescue called Cincinnati Tails. I've realized since then that I simply don't have the time to get a new blog up and running, so I've decided to incorporate my ideas for Cincinnati Tails into this blog. Since I want to start blogging more frequently it only makes sense to bring the posts I would be doing for Cincinnati Tails over here to my blog home. So I hope to have more animals taking over the blog from time to time. :)
Finally, it's time for another Celebrate the Small Things hop with Vikki at Scribblings of an Aspiring Author.
This week I'm celebrating the fact that I feel more energized about blogging and writing than I have all summer. I've been in a total slump and haven't focused on any new ideas so it feels really good to be coming out of that. I hope to spend a good part of the weekend writing. Fingers crossed!
I also want to say thanks to everyone who commented on my IWSG post. I received some great suggestions and it's also great to know that I am not alone in my marketing and social media anxiety.
Happy weekend!

Here's to renewed energy and inspiration! And I just love Clancy!ReplyDelete
Hi Julie! Great ideas all around and I love the adorable photos. Sending you hugs and really good writing karma....since it's not working for me at the moment...maybe it will work for you! :)ReplyDelete
Oh, I love Batdog! :) Now, if only Nate had agreed to dress up like Robin.... Robcat???ReplyDelete
And good to hear you're feeling renewed energy. Combining the blogs sounds like fun - I look forward to seeing more animals here. :)
Always love to see pics of animals, somehow brightens my day. And so glad you've come out of your slump, we all get those now and again!ReplyDelete
Glad your energy is back!ReplyDelete
I think Clancy's Batdog outfit is cool.
Nate and Clancy are adorable and I'm so glad you're bringing them back to your blog.ReplyDelete
@Regina, thanks! And Clancy says thanks too LOL.ReplyDelete
@Becky, oh, I hope so - sending some hugs and karma your way too.
@Madeline, I tried to dress Nate up as a clown and the results were so disastrous I couldn't even get a pic LOL. I would love to see him as Robcat though. :D
@Cathy, I agree, animals can always make me smile. Thanks so much.
@Alex, I totally loved the outfit but he really didn't agree LOL.
@Karen, thanks!
Aww those pictures are adorable! Such lovely pets :)ReplyDelete
Glad you're feeling more motivated to blog and write, I hate going through those slumps but they're unavoidable.
It is always great to see pictures of Nate and Clancy :) Have a great weekend!ReplyDelete
Am so behind with my blog visiting :(
Hi, Julie,ReplyDelete
Love your 'kids" ... they have such great faces and expressions!
Great idea to incorporate the two themes. WE all love pics of animals and kids. It gives us another look at the 'at home, Julie." It's always good to have a personal post on your blog from time to time.
So many author's don't. And after a while advice on writing gets old. Part of being a writer is LIVING and showing us personal glimpses of your world is fun!
Love the pic of your furry kids! Batdog! I know someone who would approve of that costume. Very cute stuff. As a fellow GOT fan I, unlike Nate, love your collectible. I'll be sure to follow you here, makes sense to combine your blogs and you need to be sure to have time to continue writing so I can continue reading your books! I'm struggling to find the time and energy to work on my novel, but I haven't given up. Glad you're feeling good about writing and got out of that slump we all seem to fall into sometimes. :)ReplyDelete
Happy to hear you're in such a good mood. Love the pics!ReplyDelete
Have a nice weekend!
Love it when the energy returns!ReplyDelete
Your dog and cat are amazing. I can't believe they lie down so close to each other. Our cat tends to bully ours dogs. I think it is great that you will be incorporating more posts about animals. I am a big softy when it comes to animals. Best of luck with the new posts.ReplyDelete
@Laura, that's true, unfortunately. I just hope this slump is done for a while now LOL. Thanks!ReplyDelete
@Austin, I love that you have your own blog name now LOL. Although I will miss your mom. ;)
@Michael, that's what I think too, plus I don't feel qualified to give any writing advice LOL. Thanks so much!
@Julie, oh, it's great you are a GoT fan. I am kind of a fanatic LOL. And I agree about the Batdog costume. Thanks for the follow!
@Adriana, thank you, you too!
@Lee, me too, it's a relief. :)
@Murees, I've been lucky that these guys have always been buddies. I think because they were both young together. I'm a total softie too LOL. Thanks so much for the good luck wishes!
Just loved the photographs, Julie.ReplyDelete
Oh I'm such an animal lover-- want to kiss their furry noses!ReplyDelete
These pictures are so great! Your kitty Nate looks EXACTLY like my kitty Harry- they could be twins. And that batdog costume is hysterical! Thanks so much for sharing these, Julie- what a great idea!ReplyDelete
@Carole, thanks!ReplyDelete
@Julie, they send kisses back. :D
@Beverly, aww, I bet Harry is a cutie! Thanks so much.
Cute pics of your dog and cat. Your drunk cat is the my favorite. Have fun blogging more. Renewed energy is good.ReplyDelete
Your critters are adorable, and I'm sure they're delighted to be getting the attention they deserve in today's post.ReplyDelete
I think the heat of summer has a way of sapping creative juices. Now we have a new school year beginning and a new football season just over the horizon... time to get fired up again!
Nate and Clancy are so handsome! Glad you're feeling energized about writing. You'll be able to accomplish a lot. You'll probably surprise yourself!ReplyDelete
@Nana, I love the drunk pic too LOL.ReplyDelete
@Susan, oh, I'm so ready for football season. I just love fall. :)
@Deanie, I hope so. Thanks!

Clancy is a total ham. And I want that Jon Snow toy!ReplyDelete
Happy Friday!
Love your fur peeps. As for blogging. I'm keeping it at a minimum since the Glowstick will be with me every other week.ReplyDelete
Hugs and chocolate,
Love the conga line! I think they're also doing the hokey-pokey. Put your right paw out...ReplyDelete
So adorable! Great that you're feeling more energized. I'm hoping that hits me when my son starts up preschool in a week and a half. :) Have a lovely weekend.ReplyDelete
Nate is definitely not into the action figure. Glad you feel energized Julie and can't wait to see more posts and your wonderful pets.ReplyDelete
Clancy and Nate are adorable! Yay! for kicking your slump and writing/blogging more. And remember to keep Nate away from the liquor cabinet! :-)ReplyDelete
Oh, I'd definitely come by for more Nate and Clancy. You should have a "caption this" segment, especially for the ones like Nate/action figure, lol!ReplyDelete
@Carole, I just loved those photos on your site, such an amazing story.ReplyDelete
@Mary, thanks and happy weekend to you as well!
@LG, I'm not parting with my Jon Snow LOL.
@Shelly, LOL, I hope your fur peeps survive the Glowstick. :D
@Carol, oh, that's so true, now I'll have that song in my head LOL.
@Christine, I hope it does too, fingers crossed for you. Thanks!
@Sheena, he really hates it LOL. Thanks!
@Lexa, LOL, he has to be watched all the time LOL. Thanks so much.
@Gwen, oh, that's a good idea, LOL! Thanks!
Those are truly cute pics, and I'm glad you've decided to tag them on here since you don't have time for two blogs - which I TOTALLY understand.ReplyDelete
It's great to have that drive come back to write and stay connected more. I'm happy your slump is over. It's amazing how great this community is with always willing to provide support, encouragement and suggestions. :) Writer's Mark
You have the cutest pets! I'm super partial to cats but Clancy is adorable too :)ReplyDelete
@Nancy, I agree, I'm so glad to be part of this group. Thanks so much.ReplyDelete
@Sam, LOL, Nate says he thinks you are very smart. :D Thanks!
Great pics of your babies and I think it's a great idea to incorporate your other blog into this one....it'll save you some work :)ReplyDelete
Samson Says: I'm glad you like my coat, but good to see you got furry friends of your own to snuggle with.ReplyDelete
Me: I think it's a great idea to incorporate the Tails into this blog. Keeping up more than one blog is hard, even for me who is retired. I tried it and changed my mind. Looking forward to hearing more about the rescue.
Hi Julie,ReplyDelete
Clancy and Nate are looking great. Even Penny has given a pawsitive response. Get away from the screen, Penny! Thank you :)
Such a worthy ideal to incorporate an animal rescue theme into your blog.
Here's to your new energy in blogging and writing.
A peaceful rest of the weekend, Julie.
Gary :)

@Suzanne, LOL, that one always cracks me up, poor Nate.
@Vikki, thank you!

Cute animals.
aw nice pets - honestly need to blog more regularly after blogging a lot less regularly recently..ReplyDelete
@Medeia, I hope so too. Thanks!ReplyDelete
@David, I hope you do, I love your posts. Thank you!
Love the animal pictures!ReplyDelete
And it is easier to have just one blog than several.
I'm sort of committing to post less frequently. :) Love the pics of the pets. Super cute.ReplyDelete
I think that it's a great idea to combine Cincinnati Tails with this blog! Your photos of Nate and Clancy are adorable! I'm glad that you got your energy back.ReplyDelete
hehe, Nate looks completely unimpressed by John SnowReplyDelete
what a great idea to merge the two blogs!ReplyDelete
Love the batman get up. Adorable!
I'm hoping once the kids are back in school and life has a more normal rhythm, I'll get my energy back.
@Tonja, now that I've committed to this I'm already questioning whether I'll stick to it LOL. Thanks!ReplyDelete
@Julie, thanks so much, I appreciate it.
@Lynda, LOL, he hates him.
@Elizabeth, thank you! I'm sure having the kids back in school will make a huge difference for you.

awesome movie, I recommend it highly.
Tracie C. from ALAMOGORDO, NM
Reviewed on 6/1/2009...
My 16 year old niece's synopsis of the movie:
Lindsay Lohan is basically a ho, and she gets in a lot of trouble. But she's really that way because she's had a hard life and her mom doesn't understand. But her grandma does and believes her, so she starts being a little better, but she's still a ho, but her and her grandma eventually become friends. And then her mom comes back and starts to act like a mom.
Interestingly, after seeing the movie...my niece was right on!

"Courageous"...But Not Particularly Good
Gregor von Kallahann | 09/06/2007
(3 out of 5 stars)
"Viewing GEORGIA RULE recently I flashed back on a passage from Salinger's FRANNY AND ZOOEY (which I had recently re-read). There is a passage in that book in which a young television actor, speaks disparagingly of scripts that are "courageous," without their necessarily being particularly good. What he's talking about, of course, is the kind of drama that is supposed to be risky and challenging, a bit off beat maybe. "Edgy" might be the current word. That's precisely the kind of dramatic work GEORGIA RULE tries to be. You can just imagine the filmmakers patting themselves (and each other) on the back, congratulating themselves on their frankness and daring.
This is a movie that wants to say SO MUCH--to bravely go where no screenwriter (or director OR producer) would have dared to go before (except that they HAVE, in point of fact). You've got your intergenerational conflict, your intergenerational substance abuse, you've got promiscuous teens--and apparently incestuous step-dads. You've got salty grandmas, agonized moms and troubled, but spunky teens. Now even if you haven't seen all these ingredients mixed up before, it's hard not to find GEORGIA RULE a bit contrived and quite desperate. It nearly breaks under the strain.
The reviews for this film have not been kind, and it seems likely that whatever notoriety it may have garnered may have more to do with Lindsay Lohan's reported bad behavior on the set than with the film's inherent quality. As it turns out, she probably could have just pleaded "Method" and claimed that she was just staying in character off-camera. Her Rachel is a bit of a wastrel. With a heart of gold, of course.
This is a film that virtually invites reviewers to say something cranky about a stellar cast adrift in a lame production. Well, it IS a pretty solid cast, and all the actors have their moments. Felicity Huffman and Lindsay Lohan have some very strong scenes--and others where the script or their director (or their own best instincts) let them down. Jane Fonda is probably the most consistent of the three starring actresses, but that may have much to do with her character's flinty, discipline-for-discipline's sake nature. She can coast a bit on her character's quirks. Huffman and Lohan are required to take more risks. Sometimes they take off, and sometimes they fall flat (quite literally in Huffman's case).
GEORGIA RULE, while not especially good, could prove instructive to aspiring actors. It's true you get to see good actors at work (and I mean, HARD at work). What you don't get is a good, solid story. In 2007, simply presenting viewers with intergenerational dysfunctionality doesn't cut it anymore--if it ever did. Yes, we know that happy families are all alike, and that unhappy families are unhappy in uniquely different ways. If that's true, however, you shouldn't have to struggle so much to show those differences. GEORGIA RULE #1 should probably have been: Don't try so hard!
Uneasy blend of comedy and drama
Tess Capra | Greensboro, NC | 09/09/2007
(2 out of 5 stars)
"In an industry that increasingly misrepresents its products via preview trailers, this is the most appalling example I've ever seen. Have you seen the trailer? Are you expecting a mostly lighthearted "troubled girl puts her life on track with guidance from her sassy grandmother" movie? Think again.
I'm spoiling a plot development from about 20 minutes in so don't read farther if you don't want to know.
*Georgia Rule* is actually a heavy-handed molestation tale, with Lohan playing a dangerous and unpleasant "am I telling the truth or lying?" game by accusing (then recanting, then accusing, then recanting) her stepfather of abusing her when she was 12-14, three years ago.
Such stories have a place, and some probably open doors of communication in troubled families. However, this one strikes an extremely uneven balance between comedy and drama thanks to director Garry Marshall's mistaken vision. A mother's alcoholism, a daughter's abuse and subsequent slide into drug use and sexual promiscuity can't be juxtaposed with Fourth of July pie-eating contests (naturally featuring cameos by Marshall's never-ending supply of relatives) and wacky hijinx down at the local vet's.
The acting is good, but the script and direction are very, very, very bad. The script kicked around Hollywood for a decade; it should still be gathering dust on a forgotten bookcase."
How do we know we're loved? 4 1/2 stars
C. Harmon | south carolina | 09/11/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Though I don't recall this movie getting great reviews from the critics, I expected at least a decent movie considering the three main stars. I got more than expected. The three lead actresses were well chosen. Jane Fonda, looking exceptionally well at age 70, is outstanding as the grandmother, Georgia, who lives her life by certain 'rules,' hence the title, and who has a history with her daughter, Lilly, (Felicity Huffman), that seems lacking in emotion. 'Seems' is the operative word. While we aren't exactly privy to what has caused this rift between mother and daughter, we glean from one particular scene that Georgia's parents never told HER that they loved her. We gather that Georgia's apparent inability to say the three words, "I love you" to her daughter may simply be because she was not told what she needed to hear from her parents. In one touching scene between Georgia and Lilly, when Lilly asks her mother if she ever loved her, Georgia replies, 'How could I not love you?' She still is not able to say those three magic words to her daughter though she has no trouble saying them to her granddaughter, Rachel, (Lindsay Lohan). Dermont Mulroney is wonderfully cast as the kindly veterinarian whom Rachel works for and Cary Elwes well cast in a somewhat chilling performance as Rachel's stepfather.
Rachel lies, manipulates, has a history of drug abuse and all manner of teen problems. There is, of course, a reason for her behaviour and underneath it all, we see many glimpses of a tender heart.
This is Ms. Lohan's best performance since she made her wonderful debut as identical twins in 'The Parent Trap' at the age of eleven. Despite the two other big name stars, Lindsay Lohan is THE star of this movie. We can only hope that this gifted young lady is able to heal herself before a very promising career is ruined."

InfoGrid History
InfoGrid, as it stands today, is mostly the brainchild of me, Johannes Ernst. Depending on how you count, I've been working on it for all of my life, although the oldest part of this code base is only a few years old.
The InfoGrid history includes a dot-bombed startup and countless rewrites ("countless" meaning: "not a small integer"). Applications based on earlier versions have been built in the automotive, healthcare, knowledge management and internet industries. Not only has it has been used to construct web applications and both PC-class and mobile devices, but also a client-server application (the client being a Java applet), a rich-client P2P application and a proof-of-concept rich-client application on J2ME mobile devices. The term InfoGrid is comparatively recent.
Finally, the InfoGrid code has been released as open-source, which is what I always wanted to see happen. There has been no "launch" and none is intended; word of mouth will do its own if people think it is worthwhile.
If you are new to InfoGrid, I need to warn you that there are many parts to InfoGrid: I'm afraid if you are serious in attempting to understand most of it, it will take you some time ;-) The different mindset behind InfoGrid is probably a larger obstacle than the volume of the code. I recommend you start with the presentations.
Some of these parts are clearly in better shape than are others. Some simply need more engineering hours; others simply because some things are both novel and hard, and thus need some more time to mature. But it is good enough now to be able to throw it upon an unsuspecting public and build applications on it... so consider it to have been thrown at you, and read on ...

Last week was a great week with Jack. It was as if someone turned on the lightbulb! He finally started using 3 different signs that we have been teaching him for months: eat, more and all done - I think Brian even taught him one - Jack rubbed his face on my chest, then looked at me and did the sign for more! I think the message was clear - we wanted to nurse! As you can see from my last post on Jack he started doing "SO BIG". He has also started clapping, intentionally waving and trying to speak some words like all done and hi. We also started limiting the pacifier (nu-nu) to the bed and car only and when I get him out of bed he has learned that he drops the nu-nu and waves bye-bye. This is such a fun time - this is when they really start picking up on stuff really fast and it's so exciting to watch them learn so fast. I look forward to the next few weeks and months as he learns more and more.
Here are some pictures that I took of him at the park the other day.

Christmas carols: Noel nouvelet
The text of this traditional French carol dates to at least the 15th century, but we have no record of the tune until the 17th century. However, the first five notes are the same as the plainsong "Ave Maria Stella," which gives the tune an older feel.
The title of the song means "Christmas news" and the text tells the story of Jesus' birth, the wise men's visit, and of Simeon the Righteous who held baby Jesus in the Jewish temple. In English, the song is generally sung as "Christmas Comes Anew" or as "Now the Green Blade Riseth," the latter being more appropriate for Easter.
Coro Noialtre:
An a capella version
Unknown group, 2008:
Another a capella version, with more of a Gregorian chant feel.
Jubilate Bronze, 2008:
There is a handbell orchestration of this song which is apparently taking the handbell choir world by storm, because I found about a dozen versions of this on YouTube. I picked the best of the bunch to show you, here, plus a different handbell orchestration as a bonus video.
Bonus: Lynn Andersen, accompanied by Mark Andersen, 2007:
Unfortunately, I can't embed this one, but if you know anything about handbell choirs, you'll be pretty impressed.

The CBC's passion for political correctness will land them where the American news media is soon enough (80% or more Americans no longer trust the Legacy media for accurate information: the "Fake News" meme rebounded and struck down CNN, the NYT and the rest of the establishment media):
What Ezra wants to do with his money is up to him, and if you don't like his work, then simply don't click.
CBC on the other hand, is in our pockets for a billion/year, and we pay for the other legacy TV news through bundled cable subscriptions. Being forced to pay for the privilege of listening to lies is changing people's attitudes (as Europeans and Americans have discovered over the last few years).
... if you don't like (the) work, then simply don't click (watch/listen) ...
80% or more Americans no longer trust the Legacy media for accurate information
In a nutshell Brad, that's what it's always been about with the CBC. No state television can rise above party politics, which is normally those governments that offer them lots of money and bonuses. One only needs to look at how many regular individuals, at CBC, that are wearing the Order of Canada or how many have been seconded right to government jobs when they leave the CBC.It is impossible for them to report just the facts. They put the government political spin on it for the people that pay them. It's not the individual stories or facts that matter. It is the social conditioning and lack of interpretation, other than the party line. In the case of CBC, their masters are Laurentien Elites. It's more about how the government will solve a problem, the PMs feelings, the thespian outrage instead of the individual that brought the problem into the public eye. Unless the perp is integral to the agenda, IE: race, religion, political persuasion etc. These days, if it plays to sensationalism and allows the government to forward their agenda, it's used. If a caucasian went into a synagogue and killed a number of people with a .22 Cooey. The shooter will be branded as an alt-right, anti-semite that legally obtained that .22. Within days the government will be crowing about the availability of those firearms. The medium changes. It's no longer about the shooting, but the governments plan to curtail sale of .22 cal rifles. And the CBC will dutifully say whatever the PMO says. It has nothing to do with the fact that the shooter was mentally unbalanced, off his meds and would have picked a shopping mall if he'd seen that first. And like Polytechnique, they will drag it out over next 100 years to further their agenda. You'll hear the mosque shooting in Parliament every time the Liberals want to talk about tolerance towards muslims. It's not muslims we are against. We are against the barbaric culture that islam perpetrates, not the people. But that's not the message the government wants you to concentrate on, so they spin it as a racism problem. If they were called upon to defend the culture, they would be thrown out of power. Much easier to let the religion aspects stay off the table and talk about the, supposed, human plight."The medium is the message" - Marshall McLuhan edit: spelling.
The left's own politics by shorthand is now being turned against it.Once asked by an aide to respond to a letter to the editor from one of his critics, Vladimir Lenin refused, saying: "Why should we bother to reply to Kautsky? He would reply to us, and we would have to reply to his reply. There's no end to that. It will be quite enough for us to announce that Kautsky is a traitor to the working class, and everyone will understand everything."That has been the modus operandi of the left for decades. It doesn't respond to arguments with arguments but with stigmatizing names designed to end debate. As the communications arm of the left, the media conforms perfectly to Lenin's method. Instead of rebutting the arguments of conservatives, it has found it easier to brand them as "enemies" of science, women, minorities, the poor, and so on.Whenever editors say that they refuse to acknowledge "two sides" on such matters as "marriage equality" or Darwinism or climate change, they are paying homage to Lenin's devious politics by shorthand. They pay homage to it whenever they substitute their opinions of the news for actual reporting of the news. Even the squabbling among journalists recently over whether or not to suspend "conventional reporting" in Trump's case, or whether front-page stories should declare his misstatements "lies," is a tacit acknowledgment of that politics. With Lenin, the Christiane Amanpours have no use for the peskiness of precise responses. Just call Trump a "liar," their attitude goes, and "everyone will understand everything."But that demagogic shorthand only works as long as Republican politicians defer to it. For years journalists opined self-servingly under the guise of objectivity and got away it because Republicans were too afraid to shatter that illusion of objectivity. They permitted the media to serve as the arbiter of what qualifies as "mainstream," "extremist," "racist," and so forth, and made sure to stay within the media-determined parameters of any discussion.Donald Trump has blown up that absurd arrangement and is beating the media at its own game. He labels reporters in the same way that they label him. He upends their dishonest framing of debates by treating them as what they are, liberal partisans. His exchange last week with April Ryan, a correspondent for the American Urban Radio Network, captured that perfectly. She asked him a loaded question not as a neutral reporter but as a water-carrier for the Congressional Black Caucus. So he treated her that way. "I'll tell you what, do you want to set up the meeting?" the president said to her, after she asked if he would meet with the CBC. "Do you want to set up the meeting? Are they friends of yours?" Of course, they are friends of hers and she was trying to score a partisan point for them. Had Trump not deconstructed that for the audience, her question might have done him damage. Instead, it fell flat and looked unserious.Reporters are thrown by a president who questions them as aggressively as they question him. And they resent that he refuses to accept as "facts" what is nothing more than their biased interpretation of the facts.Everything they accuse Trump of is on display in their own coverage. One can only laugh at the eruptions of prissy sanctimony over Trump's tweet calling reporters an "enemy of the people," given the invective in which they have indulged over the last year. Having called him a despot and worse, who are they to scold anyone on intemperate language?From ill-mannered reporters come lectures on manners. From partisans come demands for non-partisanship. Almost all of the complaints of the press can be boiled down to one demand: that its conservative targets unilaterally disarm. We fight, you surrender — that is the media's idea of civility.So expect the squeals of the media to grow in proportion to Trump's exposure of its fraudulence. Bret Stephens and company can pompously say that Trump is an opponent of "objectivity itself." But all that means is that he rejects their phony claims of objectivity and impedes their partisan wishes. In the end, it just means he is not a chump who is going to let them control politics by passing off liberal propaganda as "news" before which all must genuflect.Contrary to the whining of Jake Tapper at CNN, last week's press conference was not a distraction from his governance but an essential component of it. He recognizes that his agenda can only move forward if the people tune out the media's distortions of it. Were Trump to take the media's advice, he couldn't govern. The more he neutralizes the media, the more successful he will be.If he treats it as an opposition party, that's because it is one. The fury of the media is the fury of exposed partisans, for whom ruling had once come so easy and now is too hard.
The Totalitarian ConsensusDavid KraydenContributor4:34 PM 03/13/2017 Ask yourself just what is it that has angered the anti-Trump forces with such an adamant refusal to acknowledge the results of the last presidential election and infused their protests with a perverse vitality that chronically transmutes non-violent dissent into an angry mob of hate? Well, ask yourself and you will have to admit that it really has nothing to do with just losing an election or assessing President Donald Trump as "unfit" for office or engendering a plague of bigotry and isolationism across America.The Left hates Trump because he has destroyed the totalitarian consensus that former president Barack Obama had assiduously built over the last eight years and is now in tatters.The totalitarian consensus is a virulent and pervasive characteristic of the left-wing thought that used to be isolated to its more extreme manifestations but that now dominates and defines liberalism writ large. It does not seek a forum to express liberal ideas, nor does it even seek the hegemony of that liberal discourse; its goal is the elimination of any thoughts and opinions contrary to its prevailing notions and a consensus that there are indeed no other ideas worth considering — and it seeks the total surrender of any dissidents who still proclaim an opposing truth and ultimately a solemn confession that they have been wrong all along and please forgive their foolishness and revisionism.This is precisely why liberals relish the opportunity to declare various issues as "settled" because they have deemed them to be so. Take the issue of abortion: for the pro-abortion forces that Hillary Clinton represented, it was not only an alienable right for a woman to choose to have an abortion; it was an obvious fact that was beyond discussion. Hence, the abortion movement decided to eradicate the word "rare" from the old Clinton mantra that abortion in America should be "safe, legal and rare." Why rare if you really embrace abortion as both a sacred right and something to be celebrated?But along came Trump and rather fearlessly declared Clinton's position on abortion to be "extreme" because it didn't represent mainstream opinion. He also shot down a host of liberal assumptions that had been "settled" during Obama's reign or even before that. He had the audacity to suggest that the climate change swindle might demand some reappraisal, especially given the enormous cost of enforcing this environmental religion. Settled? Forget it.But try to question the totalitarian consensus on climate change and you immediately confront a world view that demands subservience and labels opponents as "deniers" not worthy of rational consideration.Is this not more than vaguely reminiscent of another brand of totalitarianism that sought utter and blanket ideological conformity?It's neo-Stalinism, isn't it?Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin was not just characterized by megalomania, paranoid and consciousness brutality; he also possessed a fervent passion to annihilate all opposition and to have his victims recant for their heretical thinking just before the NKVD bullet hit them in the back of the head. It was not enough that they were wrong; they had to publicly admit that they were wrong through a full confession.Stalin was adored by the young communists, not only in the Soviet Union but around the world, for his toughness and refusal to tolerate dissent. The millennials who are mindlessly trashing campuses or carefully articulating intellectual obsessions around microaggressions and white privilege would have been lining up to shake Stalin's hand because here was a man who insisted that everyone comprehend and agree with the party line.Just as Marxist theory was a fantasy of double-talk that the working people it pretended to represent could not begin to decipher, so the liberals have become the ultimate elitists who have little time for the little people with their mundane lives and archaic belief systems that should have been exorcised decades ago.Hillary's anticipated victory was supposed to signal their ultimate silence.But they have found their voice again and have decided that neither an apology nor acquiescence is in order.
Ask again in 2020, and 2024.
Misinformation is now a full time business, polls are about as trustworthy as a Wainwright D-1 sickchit.

In Victoria, British Columbia, The Butchart Gardens has not offered weddings in the gardens since its opening in 1904 — until now. During the winter indoor garden season of mid-January through the end of March every year, Butchart Gardens will offer weddings as well as wedding photography.
"We have been asked by many people over the years to hold weddings in our garden, and we feel that at this time of year one could not find a more beautiful indoor venue offering such an intimate location of great beauty," said Robin Clarke, owner of The Butchart Gardens. "Areas of our outdoor gardens will also be available for wedding photographs during this time."
You'll find wedding packages for ceremonies of up to sixty people. Options include wedding photographs alone, a ceremony and reception, or a reception or dinner in The Dining Room Restaurant. All packages include indoor and outdoor photo rights. For those choosing to have a ceremony, a two-hour rehearsal time is also included.

Frye Island Golf Club is located 25 miles west of Portland and as the name suggests is on an island…
Bridgton Highlands Country Club is just above Highland lake in Bridgton. The course is 45 minutes west of Portland and 30 minutes east of North Conway, NH on Route 302. It is one of Maine's finest golf courses with tees ranging from 5,200 to 6,200 yards to satisfy all levels of golfers.
The first hole is one of the most demanding of any in the state, running 445 yards from the back tees between stately maples and with magnificent views. The course has a variety of challenges for the bold while offering solid enjoyment for the less skilled golfer.

How to Start a Business with No Money
Where to Form a Business
When starting a new venture, one of the first questions you may have is: Where do I form my business? The answer can differ based on where you live. But for the most part, the answer is really simple. Form your business in the state where you are going to operate your business.
While many people know that states such as Delaware and Nevada have tax benefits, they often don't realize that you have to be licensed to do business in the state in which you are operating your business. For example, you could form your LLC in Delaware, but if you are living in and running your business out of New York, then New York is going to require you to complete something called a foreign qualification (which puts the state on notice that you are operating a "foreign entity" in their state). Moreover, they're going to require you to publish — so you are still stuck with those super pricey publishing costs anyway.
States allow a foreign entity to do business in their state because they will receive taxes from the work done in that state. Meaning, New York would allow your Delaware company to be registered as a foreign entity, because you'll be paying New York taxes come the end of the year.
No matter where you form your entity, you have to be qualified to "do business" inanystate where you will be operating your business. This has to do with something called interstate commerce, which stems from the commerce clause in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution. What counts as doing business varies, but some key factors include having offices or distribution centers in the state, employees who work in that state, an advertising or marketing campaign targeted at that state or even shipping goods to that state. Remember, these requirements are state-specific, so you should contact an attorney if you are working outside of your home business state.
Forming your business is an exciting process filled with many decisions. Take it from me: It's crucial — and well worth the money — to talk to an attorney before choosing the state in which to form your business, or you could end up wasting your money.

We Went Behind-the-Scenes at Cougar Town In Time For Tonight's Season Premiere! Exclusive Pics
The night you've all been waiting for has finally arrived because Jules & Co. are back for the season premiere of Cougar Town, and yours truly was given a behind-the-scenes set visit with the cast!
Before we get to my interviews with the cast (and for the record, what a cast--hilarious, tight-knight, and so welcoming), I got to snoop around the set and take pics of everything from Jules' pool to the photoshopped pics on the refrigerator. Get ready for some clever and witty I-can't-believe-they-said-that Q&A below!
The hottest executive producer ever sits here!
Jules' living room--the perfect beach house!
Where all the drinking happens! Jules' kitchen.
Look closely! I'll be interested in seeing if this stays in the actual show!
If they only told me to bring my swimsuit! This set rocks!
And now. . . the interviews!
Ian Gomez (Andy) and Brian Van Holt (Bobby)
These guys should seriously go on the road together. They have a witty banter that had me in stitches most of the interview. In fact, they probably could have done the interview themselves. A few years ago, Ian guest-starred on a couple episodes of Campus Ladies with me, and all anyone could talk about was how Javier (Felicity) was coming on the show! So, without further ado. . .
Brian Van Holt: That's the reason I was so excited about working with Ian. Javier! [starts mimicking Javier's gestures]
Ian Gomez: [laughs]
Glamour: Brian, I heard that you went to UCLA and majored in Sociology. That's impressive!
Brian: Oh, thank you! I don't remember a thing, but [laughs] . . .
Glamour: Ian, did you know any of this, or are you just finding it out?
Ian: No, this is all brand new!
Glamour: So, Brian, can you analyze Ian?
Brian: Not going to even try. Are you kidding me? How much time do you have? There's a lot going on up there [in his head]. He's a very kind, and funny human being and I love him.
Ian: I need alcohol.
Glamour: So last season we saw you guys having quite a bromance in Hawaii. What's going on this season with your characters?
Brian: Well, we're going to take it to the next level. I'm going to commit myself to Andy.
Brian: Our love for each other gets much softer, more gentler.
Ian: It gets lubricated. But then we have other things going on. [laughs]
Brian: Quit doing that dude. You said lubricate. It makes me nervous.
Glamour: See, it's Brian's sociology degree coming out! Analyzing!
Ian: I'm getting very Freudian with my hand gestures. Meanwhile, our sons need our attention this season, so we kind of have to put our bromance slightly on hold. We have Travis going through something, as is my son, Stan, on the show.
Glamour: Ok, let's play some trivia! Who among the cast has the most on-set bloopers?
Brian: I'll say Courteney [Cox].
Ian: Yeah, Courteney. She can hardly get through a line without cursing.
Brian: [laughs] She has the most scenes, the most workload. That lends itself to some good comedy.
Ian: Ummhmmm. I can't talk very well, I have problems.
Brian: That's for both of us. We both have speech impediments. We tend to mumble our words. Especially after drinking our grape juice. (*Editor's Note: So *that's what they're drinking!)
Glamour: Ok, since you guys premiere on Valentine's Day, let's fill in the blank. Valentine's Day to me, is______.
Brian: Lubrication.
Ian: An opportunity to tell the one you love how much you love them.
Glamour: Aww, Nia [Vardalos, Ian's wife] is so lucky!
Brian: Can you ask me the question again?
Glamour: Valentine's Day is_______.
Brian: The premiere of the 3rd season of Cougar Town, so watch it!
Ian: I want another shot at it then.
Glamour: Ok, Ian. Valentine's Day is______.
Ian: Lubrication.
Brian: [laughs]
Courteney Cox (Jules) and Josh Hopkins (Grayson)
I am so obsessed with Friends that I had to remind myself this was not the set of Central Perk. If it was up to me, we would have talked Monica and Chandler the whole time (and because Courteney Cox is so awesome and easy-going, I know she would have). But Courteney and Josh have such chemistry, you forget Monica and Chandler the minute they start interacting. Besides, Jules and Grayson have a wedding to plan!
Glamour: First of all, Josh, congrats to your Kentucky Wildcats. Number 1 in the polls this morning!
Josh Hopkins: Wow! Best interview already!
Glamour: We aim to please! Ok, so this season your characters get engaged. Tell me about the relationship—are you excited for Jules and Grayson?
Courteney Cox: Well, we get engaged the first episode, and then most of the season revolves around how is this going to work. Can they actually live together They're kind of set in their ways. They both have been married before, so there's a lot of things they have to go through. Like, in this episode, we're dealing with the fact that I love having people around, and he doesn't. And that's a problem. As you can see. We have a lot of cast members. We're gonna kick him off the show.
Josh: What?
Courteney: I know, honey, it's ok.
Josh: You're telling me like this?
Courteney: It's ok, because you're going to do a lot of guest [episodes].
Glamour: He'll be in Kentucky watching basketball games.
Josh: Yeah. . . .
Glamour: Who has the most bloopers on set?
Courteney: He messes up a lot. And that's not because he has the vast amount of work that I have. That's because he's just not professional.
Josh: I'm bored. I'm not unprofessional. I'm just bored.
Courteney: [laughs] Yeah, he gets really bored. As soon as he starts to read his script, he gets into a few sentences and then is like, oh, I'm bored.' Yeah, no, but he messes up a lot, and I mess up a ton.
Glamour: Who do you think Brian and Ian said have the most bloopers?
Josh: Me.
Glamour: No.
Courteney: Me?
Glamour: Yes. Haha.
Courteney: I do curse a lot.
Glamour: Yep, that's what they said!
Josh: She has the most dialogue, so it makes sense.
Glamour: And that is hard.
Josh: It's easier for them to say that because they're not in the room with her right now when you ask the question. Sweet little thing, so beautiful. Never messes up!
Executive Producer Bill Lawrence and His Lovely Wife, Christa Miller (Ellie)
Let me first say, this has to be the cutest couple I've ever met. They play off each other so well, and make you feel like you're part of the clan. Guys, I'm free for Thanksgiving. Just putting it out there. Oh, and for the record, Christa has the most gorgeous skin I've ever seen in my life. Whatever she's drinking, I want it.
Glamour: I heard rumors that this was the year that Cougar Town was finally getting a new name, but apparently not. So tell me what's up with that.
Bill Lawrence: Me, Kevin and Courteney decided that this title is our badge of honor. We wanted to change it the second year to The Sunshine State, based on Florida and the fact that it's Courteney's disposition, but there was a show on ABC called Mr. Sunshine [ironic how that was Matthew Perry's show], so we couldn't do it, and now we're going to keep the worst titled show of all time moniker for as long as we can hold on to it. We'll keep doing those end of the title things where we keep apologizing. No one's a cougar on this show. It's just a bad title.
Glamour: Aside from Jules and Grayson getting engaged, what else can you preview this season?
Bill: Did you see Dan Byrd's hair last season? I hated his hair. He wouldn't cut it when Kevin and I asked, so we came up with an idea this year that he would fracture his skull and have to wear a helmut for 7 episodes.
Glamour: He wouldn't cut it when you asked him to?
Bill: He was trying to grow it out. He kept saying, I'm trying to do something here!' I thought it looked like one of those weird mushrooms.
Christa Miller: Like a dutch lesbian.
Bill: Yeah I thought he looked like a dutch lesbian. So this year, as a punishment—and also cause it's a good story—his character gets hurt, and is mortified at college that he has to wear a helmet for two months.
Christa: He cut his hair now, so now he looks really cute.
Bill: Yeah, it looks good now.
Glamour: I have to ask you guys, how hard is it—or fun—to work with your spouse?
Bill: Do you want me to answer?
Christa: Yeah, you can answer.
Bill: Ok. The good: I get to see my wife everyday. She's very sexy and talented and funny. The bad: We share a bungalow [on the lot], but on her side, there's a Do Not Disturb sign on the door, but it's only for me, so it's like, there's nobody else is in there.'
Christa: Courteney and everybody can come in. You'll hear us all in there.
Bill: I can hear people in there chatting and having fun, but I'm not allowed in there because she's at work. I find that very upsetting.
Christa: It's sexy to watch my husband work, and he's great at his job in an incredible way, so that works. But then sometimes if I let him in my bungalow too much. . .
Bill: I get over excited.
Glamour: *Cougar Town *premieres on Valentine's Day. Since you guys are married, what's the best dating/romance advice you can share?
Bill: One of the things we bonded over early is that Valentine's Day is a fake, made up romance day. It drives her crazy that it's the day you have to be romantic, and she taught me early on, if you want to score points. . . flowers, chocolates, wine, dinner, on a normal night means twenty times more than a night that you have to.
Busy Philipps (Laurie) and Dan Byrd (Travis)
Busy and I hit it off from the start when we discovered we have mutual friends from Arizona (where she grew up--Scottsdale, and where I went to college--University of Arizona in Tucson). She's such a fun friend, and although I know Michelle Williams and her are BFFs, I'm a super fun friend too. Just saying.
Glamour: Bill was telling me that he loves your haircut now, but he was begging you to cut it last season! [laughs]
Busy Philipps: It looks great now.
Dan Byrd: So as long as everybody's happy, I'm happy. Yeah, I thought I was going for a certain look, which I never quite achieved.
Busy: Tell her, tell her!
Dan: I was thinking like Orlando Bloom, first Pirates [of the Caribbean movie]. You know, just something kind of sexy and mysterious. . . Johnny Depp. I don't know! I just wanted long hair! I never had legitimately long hair before. . .
Busy: And you never will!
Dan: . . . yeah, but I thought maybe this was the time.
Glamour: Well, I love the haircut now. Looks very, very good!
Dan: Yeah, I have to wear a helmut for the first eight episodes. That's the payback. Along with all the insulting things they said about it last season. It's really been the gift that keeps on giving in the worst possible way.
Glamour: So people are saying that you're relationship, or whatever you want to call it, is semi-inappropriate. What do you guys think?
Dan: It's very inappropriate.
Busy: VERY!
Dan: I don't agree with it. I think it's inappropriate. That's what I have to say.
Busy: I think because of Laurie's weird backstory, considering what we know about her, I feel like she was stunted somewhere at 18 or 19 years old! [laughs] So I think it would make sense that she would date a guy who is younger. But I guess on the show I play younger than I am in real life.
Dan: Right.
Busy: I guess on the show I'm only like six years older than you.
Dan: Yeah, I think maybe they assume the age difference is more than it is, but they've also been aging me up in the show too. Like in the finale, I believe, I turned 21.
Busy: Oh really?! That happened? See, you know more than me already!
Dan: I'll be able to finally. . .
Busy: . . . partake in the wine.
Dan: Pound the grape with the rest of the gang. And then hopefully part of the reason they're doing that is to make this more realistic on a certain level too.
Busy: I must be almost 30.
Dan: So you're like 40 then. 43 in real life?
Busy: You're such a jerk. [laughs]
__Cougar Town returns tonight at 8:30/7:30pm ET/CT on ABC. __
__Ok, guys, who's looking forward to lots of wine and craziness as the Cougar Town gang returns tonight? If you could hang out with any character from the show, which one would it be? __

I've recently moved into a cabin built in the 1980s where the main illumination for the high sloped ceiling living room comes from two very dim hanging lamps. Each of these contain two small candle shaped incandescent bulbs. The glass globes surrounding the bulbs are tinted as if they were attempting to minimize the amount of light given off. I'd like to greatly increase illumination in the room and am therefore seeking some sort of hanging LED lighting setup. I've seen units circular units in airports hanging from ceilings that looked promising but can't seem to find anything online to purchase that looks appropriate. It would be important that the light was dimmable as well.
The current lights tap into boxes ~ 11 feet high on the sloped ceiling.
Economics is of consideration as well.
Thanks for any ideas you might have. It's dark enough this time of year let alone living in a poorly illuminated cabin.

Actor David Hasselhoff wants to have a cup of "hoffee" with you. For The Hoff, that'll be a vanilla or a caramel latte.
For you, there's a full drink menu at XO Coffee Company in Plano that includes cold-brewed nitro coffee on tap, Seraphim Chemex pour-overs, Americanos and cappuccinos. Hasselhoff comes free of charge for paying customers: The Baywatch actor will meet fans, sign autographs and "possibly get behind the bar and help make some drinks" at XO Coffee Company on March 28 from 4-7 p.m., says co-owner Linda McCall.
The Hoff is doing a favor for a family member, you could say. Hasselhoff's nephew, David Martin, co-owns XO Coffee with his wife McCall. Hasselhoff agreed to visit the new shop and help introduce it to Plano coffee drinkers.
XO Coffee Company is a full-service breakfast and lunch spot in downtown Plano that sells quiche, breakfast tacos, salads and sandwiches. The baristas make coffee from Novel Coffee Roasters beans; that's a Dallas-area company that also sells coffee beans to local spots like Dallas restaurant Proof + Pantry, Denton bar Harvest House, and Oak Cliff shop Bolsa Mercado, among others.
The husband-wife duo hopes XO is "a place that was fun and inviting for anybody." It also sounds like a great place for The Young and the Restless and Knight Rider superfans.
XO Coffee Company is located at 1023 E. 15th St., Plano.

Update on March 28: Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Ben Harris named Hasselhoff an "honorary citizen" of Plano, according to Steve Stoler. Details:

In a previous post I talked about fear, especially the fear of "wrong notes," which keeps our playing from being fully expressive, fully satisfying, and which creates a host of other technical problems.
Here I'd like to discuss some of the ways fear shows itself as we play, and what we can do about it in our practice, to gradually develop a technique based on freedom rather than fear.
One of the things I see some beginners and less experienced players do is what I call "clinging to the keys." For example, the technique of substituting one finger for another on a note while holding the note: this technique is occasionally needed, but only in a slow passage where the hand has to be moved and lifting off the note would produce a disconnect that is clearly not intended in the score. However, I see inexperienced players doing this finger substitution constantly, because they are really afraid to move! It's as if their body is saying "I found this key and I'm not letting go of it until I find the next one!" It creates a kind of "crawling" around the keys. It doesn't work at all in a passage that is to be played with even moderate speed, so by over-using this technique you are truly preventing yourself from acquiring the technique needed to play rapidly. In addition, it is impossible to have good phrasing with this means of playing; just as you wouldn't sing without taking a breath at the ends of phrases, so too you must breathe when you play. The pianist needs to learn to move the hand and the arm smoothly, efficiently, and quickly with great ease, to get from place to place on the keyboard as required by the particular piece. If you watch great pianists (Martha Argerich comes to mind), you will see their hands and arms fly over the keyboard, not crawl. I teach a technique I call the "flip" which helps you learn to very rapidly move to any place on the keyboard. Continued practice of this technique produces a high degree of accuracy on any jump.
The whole matter of learning to play large jumps is one where you have to have either fantastic natural ability, or great training, to be able to do it. I didn't have the former, but I was lucky enough to get the latter from my teacher, Joseph Prostakoff. I have learned, and now teach, great methods of what I call "target practice" to enable my students to learn to play large jumps with speed and accuracy. Let's say you are working on the left hand part of a fast ragtime piece. This type of bass, sometimes called a stride bass, fills many players with fear. Because of the fear they learn to play it in a way that uses what I call "preparing;" the body (arm/hand) plays each note or chord with two distinct movements, one to find the note(s) and another to actually play them. There is a fraction of a second stop between the locating of the note (the "preparing") and the playing. If you become very sensitive to what your body is doing, you may even be able to feel yourself doing this. I teach the student how to play this type of bass with more of a "windshield-wiper" movement; in this movement there is a steady arc back and forth with the arm and no preparing, which stops the flow of the arm, if only for a nano-second, and changes the sound. Everything we do physically effects the sound we produce. Therefore you get a smoother sound when this type of passage is played with continuous movement rather than movement that has tiny "stops" in it.
One must develop a high degree of kinesthetic (body) awareness for accomplishing large jumps. If the music is slow, then of course it is easy, but if it is fast, the body must know the distance to go, and you cannot always depend on your eyes. For this reason I do a great deal of practice with eyes closed, and recommend my students do this as well. At first of course you will hit a great many wrong notes, but with continued eyes-closed practice, the body learns to judge the distances and you will have greater accuracy. Learning to depend on your body, not your eyes, is necessary for great technique. The added benefit of eyes-closed practice is that it chips away at the fear of missed notes and gives a wonderful feeling of freedom and confidence, as your hands and arms go exactly where you want them to without feeling like you are "controlling" them. This is true mastery, in my opinion.
As I observe my students' playing, I am watching their hands, arms, torso (and to a lesser extent their legs, head, eyes) to determine what is happening in the body which is producing the resulting sounds. Quite often, a problem with the sound comes from a faulty technique and quite often this problem with the technique has fear at its root. There is no point in practicing any kind of "exercise" or technique unless you first address the fear that causes you (your body) to move in that particular way. Try to become aware of the ways in which fear of wrong notes, or fear of expressing yourself, is affecting your playing, and then address that problem. It is best, of course, if you can find a teacher who can help you on that profound and wonderful journey.

From a press release:
Calling her the "…one true Democrat in the race," former Democratic Governor Buddy MacKay today announced his support and endorsement of Nan Rich for governor.
"For the past 16 years, under 3 Republican governors, our state has been led down a right-wing, ideological path that has worked against teachers and public education, dismantled growth management and put our environmental resources in jeopardy, ignored the needs of our elderly and at risk children, and abandoned the middle class in favor of tax breaks for the rich and major corporations," MacKay stated in a prepared release.
"I'm sincerely honored to have the support of Governor MacKay," Rich said. "Buddy MacKay and Lawton Chiles were visionary leaders who cared deeply about the working people of Florida. Florida was in far better shape under their stewardship than it has been ever since. As governor, I intend to pick up where they left off and lead Florida into a new era of prosperity – a Democratic era of a strong middle class and fairness for all."
Buddy MacKay is a life-long Democrat who had a long and distinguished public service career. He was a state legislator and U.S. Representative before serving as Lt. Governor in the Chiles administration. He became the 42nd Governor of Florida following Chiles' death on December 12, 1998.

Canal Street is the major street of Manhattan's Chinatown district and one of New York City's prime shopping districts. This vibrant and colourful area is a major must-see for those who love the hustle and bustle of street shopping. Popular with both tourists and New York City locals, Canal Street is a favourite destination for those who like to haggle for a deal!
The open storefronts on Canal Street offer all types of merchandise from electronics to scarves to t-shirts at very low prices. Street vendors abound, selling everything from watches to perfume. Canal Street is notorious for its counterfeit goods such as knock-offs of the most popular designer handbags, sunglasses and watches as well as illegal copies of CDs and DVDs. These items are often sold on street blankets on the sidewalk or in the back rooms of stores. Despite frequent raids by police, these knock-off products tend to pop back up on the street.
In addition to clothing, accessories and several jewelry and electronic shops, Canal Street also features many food vendors as well as markets selling a wide variety of Chinese food products including spices and teas.
Just like the name, a canal did exist at Canal Street. It was built in the early nineteenth century in order to drain the contaminated Collect Pond into the Hudson River. The Collect Pond provided fresh water to the city in the 1700s, but became terribly polluted by the increasing industry that boomed in the late eighteenth century that used it as a garbage dump, including the nearby breweries and tanneries.
After the pond was drained, the city filled the canal and covered it because it was extremely foul-smelling. It was then used as an underground sewer. Canal Street follows the angled path of the canal. In the early 1900s, this was the city's main jewelry district and jewelry traders were prominent at the corner of Canal Street and Bowery. To this day there are several jewelry shops on the east side of the street. There are also a number of banks on the east side of Canal, and the landmark bronze-domed Citizens Savings Bank built in 1924 (now an HSBC branch) is situated on Bowery at Canal Street.
Canal Street and the Chinatown district are located in lower Manhattan. Canal separates Chinatown from the Little Italy area, so after working up an appetite shopping visitors can walk over to Mulberry Street for some of the best pizza in the city! Other nearby neighbourhoods include TriBeCa (which stands for Triangle Below Canal) located south of Canal and west of Broadway and the trendy SoHo district (which stands for South of Houston Street) which is situated to the north between Sixth Avenue and Broadway.
The west side of Canal leads to the Holland Tunnel, which takes you to New Jersey. Brooklyn is accessible from the east side of Canal via the Manhattan Bridge.

Summary/ product description: "Now that Nikki has rescued Jack, all she wants is to be with him and graduate high school. But Cole tricked Nikki into feeding off him, and she's begun the process of turning into an Everliving herself... which means she must feed on a Forfeit soon — or die.
Terrified for her survival, Nikki and Jack begin a desperate attempt to reverse the process using any means possible. Even Cole, who they expected to fight them at every turn, has become an unlikely ally — but how long can it last? Nikki needs to feed on Cole to survive, Cole needs Nikki to gain the throne in the Everneath, Jack needs Nikki because she is everything to him — and together, they must travel back to the Underworld to undo Nikki's fate and make her mortal once more. But Cole isn't the only one with plans for Nikki: the Queen has not forgotten Nikki's treachery, and she wants her destroyed for good. Will Nikki be forced to spend eternity in the Underworld, or does she have what it takes to bring down the Everneath once and for all?
In this stunning conclusion to the Everneath trilogy, Brodi Ashton evokes the resiliency of the human spirit and the indomitable power of true love."
My Review: I waited a year to read this book, so it's been two years since I read Everbound. This series has gone from okay to awesome to absolutely amazing. It's partially because of the development of the heroine, Nikki, and also the other characters and this world called the Everneath.
Nikki in the first book Everneath was recovering from the time she was being fed on by Cole, so she seemed depressed and uninteresting. In Everbound she had a lot of her strength back and the story became an adventure through a labyrinth in the Everneath. In Evertrue Nikki is becoming an Everliving and would like to find a way to prevent that. She tries to get her heart back from Cole but fails, but she has a better plan that can save more lives: destroy the Everneath.
I really enjoyed the character Cole. He's the kind of guy you love to hate, but also love to love. He's like Damon Salvatore or Klaus from the Vampire Diaries, or even Warner from Shatter Me. He's a bad boy, but he's also a musician who used to be a Norwegian farm boy a very long time ago become becoming an Everliving. He's blond and hot and sometimes funny, and likes to tease Nikki.
Cole wants Nikki to love him back, but Nikki loves Jack. In this book Cole gets amnesia and forgets who is his beyond his name. He temporarily forgot how to speak English, but that didn't last long. It's kind of hilarious and adds another interesting layer to this story. Nikki makes up a false backstory for Cole so he would help them destroy the Everneath.
We see all three of our main characters work together and get along (mostly due to Cole's lack of memory). Jack and Nikki can't hate Cole if Cole doesn't remember what he did to them. Jack and Nikki can share their romance, but Nikki has to feed off of Cole or she'll die because she can't make her own energy any more. That involves kissing. Jack is not happy with this but want Nikki to live so he lets her.
This finale is well plotted with absolutely no dull moments. It's such a faster read than the first book. There's still adventure and interesting paranormal elements. It's all very unique. I recommend this to fans of paranormal books about immortals or even vampires. Also too fans of Incarnate by Jodi Meadows, which is about immortals. It's kind of like the Persephone and Hades Greek Myth so if you liked Falling Under by Gwen Hayes and Abandon by Meg Cabot and other books with mythology and the underworld too, you may enjoy this.
Cover Art Review: I absolutely love the dress turning into a vortex of smoke. It's so gorgeous. Fit with the previous covers, but this one is definitely the best.

Lauren had a blast seeing her mamaw Lisa, pappaw Jim, paw paw Larry and maw maw Bobbie. we tried to roll her hair but it turned out awful. I'm sure though as hot as it was in there that if it would have curled, it would have fallen. poor child has her mother's hair. of course it she had her daddy's curly hair i wouldn't know what to do with it. now we get ready for Georgia. we leave this Fri or sat. can't wait!!!!!!!

By default libtool replaces -export-symbols <file> with -retain-symbols-file
<file> on ELF systems, but this doesn't really do what -export-symbols is

Remove two libtool fixes from Mk/Uses/libtool.mk. They don't always work
when an older version of a package is installed. This is the case when an
executable links with installed libraries and with uninstalled libraries
that link with other uninstalled libraries. For each of the directly
linked libraries the executable will have an rpath (/usr/local/lib for the
installed libraries and a path under WRKDIR for each of the uninstalled
libraries), but not for the indirect libraries. Both ld(1) and rtld(1)
search the rpath of the executable first before any rpath of libraries, so
the indirectly linked libraries will be found in /usr/local/lib if they are
installed instead of in WRKDIR.
With this commit executables will overlink with uninstalled indirect
libraries again so their location is added to the rpath of the executable.
This partially reverts r358784.

Add 4 new sed commands to USES=libtool. The first two apply some of the
changes that Debian made to their libtool. The first command applies to
libtool versions 1.4 and up. The second command is somewhat more elaborate
but essentially it uses the sed hold space to move an "elif...fi" block
down. It applies to 2.x. Together these reduce overlinking to unpatched
.la files (from ports that don't have USES=libtool yet but also .la files
in the work directory).
The third and fourth command fix relinking. During staging libtool may
relink libA when it links to another library in the work directory libB.
The reason is that libA created during build phase has its runpath set to
the location of libB in the work directory. This allows running an
executable that links to libA from within the work directory. The relink
removes this extra runpath.
