The Hilberry Theatre Presents Topical, Timely Major Barbara
DETROIT – The Hilberry Theatre closes its 49th season with George Bernard Shaw's classic satire, Major Barbara, opening Friday, April 6, 2012. University of Michigan-Flint theatre professor Carolyn Gillespie directs this sparkling comedy, which runs in rotating repertory at the Hilberry with Summer and Smoke until May 5, 2012. Tickets are $12-$30 and are available by calling the Hilberry Theatre Box Office at (313) 577-2972, online at Hilberry.com, or by visiting the box office at 4743 Cass Avenue on the corner of Hancock.
In this timely comedy, a millionaire armaments dealer loves money, but his inspired daughter, Barbara, is a devout Major in the Salvation Army who sees her father as just another soul to save. Yet when the Salvation Army needs funds, the father triumphantly saves the day. George Bernard Shaw's satirical comedy proves as relevant as ever amidst the current political conversations playing out between the wealthiest 1% of Americans and the remaining 99% across the country.
This will be Carolyn Gillespie's second time directing Barbara, a play that she has come to "love every line and every character." Gillespie has received several awards including two Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival Gold Medallions for Service in Education. Gillespie has twice chaired the Department of Theatre and Dance at UM Flint. A member of Actors' Equity Association, Gillespie holds a B.A. in Speech Education from Marquette University in Milwaukee, and an M.F.A. in Acting from Stanford.
Gillespie considers the play as relevant today as it was when it premiered a century ago. "We have not yet – or perhaps never will – solved the problem of poverty or the complexities of the relationships between politics, industry, economics, and the military – what has been called the 'military-industrial complex' in some eras. On another level, the play challenges us to find a third option for seemingly irresolvable conflicts." The play poses a hard question: how can society find the balance between the mission of the Salvation Army and the "utopia" built on the munitions factory? Shaw does not, however, attempt to answer that question within the play.
In a letter to Henry James dated January 17, 1909, Shaw wrote: "I, as a Socialist, have had to preach, as much as anyone, the enormous power of the environment. We can change it; we must change it; there is absolutely no other sense in life than the task of changing it. What is the use of writing plays, what is the use of writing anything, if there is not a will which finally moulds chaos itself into a race of gods."
"Shaw, like Brecht after him," says Gillespie, "asks us to envision change and political action in the face of unacceptable social constructions. There is something terribly wrong in [the character] Undershaft's vision of the world, but we are not enlightened enough – or courageous enough – to find it. That's what I want the audience to walk away thinking about."
Major Barbara first opened on Broadway at the Playhouse Theatre on December 9, 1915, ten years after it premiered in London at the Royal Court Theatre. There have been four Broadway revivals, in 1928 at the Guild Theatre; 1956 at the Martin Beck Theatre (and then the Morosco Theatre) starring Glynis Johns, Cornelia Otis Skinner, Eli Wallach, Burgess Meredith, and Charles Laughton, who also directed; in 1980 at the Circle in the Square Theatre; and 2001 at the American Airlines Theatre, with Cherry Jones in the title role.
Cast includes: Alec Barbour (Charles Lomax), Christopher Call (Bilton), Danielle Cochrane (Barbara), Megan Dobbertin (Jenny), Christopher Ellis (Morrison), Brent Griffith (Adolphus Cusins), Sara Hymes (Sarah), Edmund Alyn Jones (Undershaft), Andrew Papa (Bill Walker), Topher Payne (Stephen), Joshua Blake Rippy (Snobby Price), Vanessa Sawson (Lady Britomart/ Rummy Mitchens), David Sterritt (Peter Shirley), and Lorelei Sturm (Mrs. Baines).
Production Team includes: Carolyn Gillespie (Director), Dana Gamarra (Stage Manager), Rudolph C. Schuepbach (Scenic Designer), Jessica Van Essen (Costume Designer), Brian Scruggs (Lighting Designer), and Alexandra Stewart (Publicity Manager).

News: Remembering the XaviXPORT
You might've heard about the XaviXPORT a while back…or maybe not. I thought I posted about it some years ago, but I can't find evidence of it now. The XaviXPORT an entertainment and fitness console which uses motion sensing to allow you to box, play tennis, baseball, bowl, golf, fish, and even do aerobics exercises with a mat on the floor – and it was all released in 2004. There's also a psuedo-predecessor to Wii Fit. Trouble is they sold all of these games separately, each with a different peripheral, and they don't have the clout or polish Nintendo does…but there sure are a lot of parallels. The then-titled Revolution was already announced at the time, but it wasn't yet known that it was motion control-based. Reading a review of the XaviXPORT on G4's site is humorous not just because of the poor and pandering language, but also the fact that with a few changed words, this could be a newspaper-savvy level (that is to say low) review of a Wii:
"The Xavix gaming system is a neat idea and great for a party. The graphics are nothing to call home about, but the simple system provides hours of great group fun

Man dressed in Freddy Krueger costume shoots 5 people at party
It was a 'Nightmare on Elm Street' come to life -- an uninvited guest dressed as the fictional serial killer Freddy Krueger shot five people at a Halloween party Sunday night in San Antonio, Texas, according to the Associated Press.
Sergeant Jesse Salame of the San Antonio Police department says the shooting was likely prompted by an argument between partygoers, one of whom proceeded to open fire.
Those who were wounded in the shooting early Sunday morning were treated and released from hospitals shortly thereafter.
However, the suspect fled the scene before authorities arrived, and reportedly still remains at large as of Monday.
Hopefully, we won't be seeing a sequel.

The My Fangirl Life team has a multitude of concerts scheduled this summer. Edmonton is apparently a mecca for some of the biggest acts in music this season, so keep watch as we document the shows we attend for your reading pleasure – we're calling it our "Summer of Concerts". You can also check out our reviews of Maroon 5, Eric Church, Phillip Phillips, OneRepublic, Shania Twain, and (gloriously!) One Direction. But on to today's article… a concert review for the brilliant and amazing Ed Sheeran.
I am sitting here, the morning after seeing musical genius Ed Sheeran perform live, with tears in my eyes at the memory, trying to recount my experience of the evening. I love live music. It's probably one of my favourite things. This means I go to a fair number of concerts… but this was probably one of the very best I've ever attended.
I mean, it all starts with a crazy love for Ed Sheeran. I'll admit that I'm definitely a hardcore fangirl, which certainly helps his rating. But I honestly think that someone who doesn't know much about him would fall in love seeing him perform live. Someone who doesn't like him (do those people exist???) would still have to give him props for his crazy-mad live skills. I think everyone in the building was blown away.
I've seen Ed Sheeran perform live before, twice actually, as the opening act on Taylor Swift's RED Tour (yes… Kris and I went to both nights of the back-to-back Edmonton shows… actually for Ed, not for Taylor. Though we do love her too!). He was amazing then, a stellar opening act with just himself and a loop pedal – no band required.
As it turns out, he didn't bring a band on this headlining tour either. All he needs to put on one of the very best shows I've ever seen is a guitar and a loop pedal. But before we get to that, I will briefly discuss his opening act, Rixton. Kris is planning on doing a Listen & Learn on them sometime soon, so I won't go into too much detail – I'll let her teach you about them and share some insights about their live performance.
Rixton is basically the perfect opening act. They sound great, are super fun to watch, and basically did the best job I've ever seen of getting the building warmed up. They alternated between ridiculous and awesomely fun, and got the whole crowd involved in their infectious shenanigans. We were on our feet dancing up a storm for their entire set.
By the time they were finished, my excitement about seeing Ed Sheeran had reached an all-time high. Kris and I had floor tickets, about 20 rows back, and seeing how close we were to Rixton got us even more excited to be that close to Ed. There was a short break to set Ed's loop pedal up and, before long, there he was. Just him, alone, belting out "I'm A Mess". That song was magic, and so were all the rest.
I am absolutely in awe of Ed's ability to layer together the parts of a song. He creates a beat by banging on his guitar, then plays a riff and layers that over top, maybe does a little beatboxing then sings a few harmonies and layers that in too. Finally he plays and sings overtop of it all to create a masterpiece right in front of our eyes. And he did that with EVERY SINGLE SONG. Just amazing.
The stage was relatively simple compared to many tours nowadays. It had a set of screens suspended above, and Ed just stood in the middle with his guitar, mic, and loop pedal. The screens were definitely well-used and made everything exciting to watch. I thought some of the footage was very smart as well… for a couple of the songs, his music videos went up in the background, while some had special unique videos (the one for "Lego House" was FREAKING adorable. Spoiler Alert: It had Lego in it.). All Ed did, for the most part, was stand there and play and sing, yet I could not take my eyes off of the stage.
His set list included most of the songs from Multiply as well as a couple old favourites and some fun covers and mash-ups. I was on my feet for the entire show, singing at the top of my lungs. Can I just say that I totally want to be the person that walks out on-stage between songs to bring Ed the right guitar? They should auction that position off to people. I would pay a heck of a lot of money (which, you know, I don't have) to do that for a night. Actually, I probably couldn't do it. I'd get flustered every time he looked at me and drop the guitar or something. This is probably exactly why they don't do it…
One of my favourite things about this show – which probably is not that exciting to most of you – is Ed's clothing. A video surfaced from earlier in the day of him surprising a fan. Ed was out shopping at West Edmonton and happened to walk by while she was performing "Thinking Out Loud" (this was totally unplanned). He decided to jump onstage… yet another reason why Ed is just the best. I saw the video like immediately after it happened and thought he looked adorable. I hoped he would look that cute at the show that night – and when he came out onstage, there he was wearing the exact same outfit. Clearly Ed is above "stage clothes".
Anyways, to get back on track, here are a couple videos that Kris took during the show! She took quite a few so I just put a selection in here, but if there's a specific song you'd like to see let us know and maybe we can share a couple more! Just for the record, deciding which ones to include was EXTREMELY difficult, but I hope you enjoy these.
And lastly, I couldn't resist including his final encore song. Just as he was kicking off this song, one of the stadium's alarms started going off. No one even considered leaving the building.
My Fangirl Life's Rating System is out of 10, but we're able to use emojis to express ALL THE FEELS that any concert/movie/book/etc. gives us. The rating for this show?
10 out of 10 Feels: ?゚リヘ?゚リᄈ?゚リᆳ?゚リᆳ?゚リᄊ
SO MANY FEELS! Ed sounded amazing, looked like a totally normal guy (as Ed tends to do), and somehow managed to blow the roof off of Rexall Place without a band or any pyrotechnics. The crowd was unbelievably loud, and barely sat at all… even during the slow songs. Name another act in music that can do that without all the bells and whistles, I challenge you. His lyrical and musical genius is without dispute, and I swooned so many times as he sang his well-loved lyrics. Excuse me, I'm just dyyyyyying here thinking about it…
And just to go on another tangent… how can a guy who seems just so damn normal (slash possibly even awkward) write such clever, beautiful, and sweet lyrics? Are those songs secretly hiding inside all the normal guys in the world? It's a mystery that will probably never be solved.
Have you ever seen Ed Sheeran perform live? What did you think? Share in the comments!

Former stand-in Delaware senator Ted Kaufman falls into line with radical environmentalists with the usual apocalyptic swill. Most laughable part of the article:
An ICF International study commissioned by the NRDC concludes "the first-ever limits on carbon pollution from power plants can save American households and business customers $37.4 billion on their electric bills in 2020 while creating more than 274,000 jobs. The federal carbon pollution standard could fuel a surge in energy efficiency investments, creating new jobs filled by electricians, roofers, carpenters, insulation workers, heating/air conditioning installers and heavy equipment operators, among others."
Does anyone with a modicum of sanity actually believe this -- especially after all the other eco-nonsense from our administration since early 2009??
As I've said ad nauseam here, it is very hard to worry about appeals (like Ted's) to "my children and yours" when the same scientists Ted and other
global warming climate change climate disruption alarmists cite have told us there is nothing we can do about the quantity of the CO2 currently in the atmosphere ... for at least a millennium.
Couple that with this bit of Kaufman limousine elitism: "Who is right about the costs? It seems to me the question isn't very important if you are not in a state of denial about the NASA study." Uh huh. Easy for you to say, Teddy. Guys like you who're monetarily comfortable may not think costs are "very important," but ye gad, c'mon.
Here's an idea: How about you and yours do something about our sputtering economy and then offer up the worrisome platitudes about our nigh annihilation, huh?Posted by Hube at June 29, 2014 09:57 AM | TrackBack
Let's assume for a minute his numbers are correct. That savings will be offset by the cost of compliance and then some. The savings of say, $5000 per year by a business will require them to spend $25000 to retrofit/upgrade the existing structure or equipment to avoid penalties. It's the broken window fallacy. Break the baker's window and the glazer gets paid etc.Posted by: Duffy at July 1, 2014 10:21 AM

Reading boss Nigel Adkins believes the Royals are benefiting from a settled squad after they continued their free-scoring ways with a 3-0 win over struggling Millwall.
Pavel Pogrebnyak set Reading on their way after a Stephen Bywater howler just before half-time while Alex Pearce and Danny Williams added goals in the space of four second-half minutes.
The Royals' three goals at the Den took them to 15 from their last four matches, which includes a 2-0 defeat on the road at Ipswich this time last weekend.
Reading have now won four of their last five in the league, though, and boss Adkins believes that good form is down to him being able to pick the same team each week.
"We have come here able to select the same team for the fifth game running which helps and it was a great workmanlike performance," said Adkins.
"It was a typical Championship game. The lads worked extremely hard. There was a good shape about ourselves and we scored some good goals.
"You can see the togetherness of everybody which is great and it was a good three points at a very difficult place to come to.
"Everyone is working really hard, which has been demonstrated on a consistent basis for the last few weeks.
"Pavel has been top-drawer. He works very hard in training and just epitomises the way the team is at the moment.
"At times we have had up to 10 players injured so now it is really pleasing that we have been able to pick the same team for five games running and put a real consistent string of performances together."
Defeat was a first for Millwall at home under new boss Ian Holloway and he conceded the Lions played as if they were still being led by former manager Steve Lomas.
"That is obviously the feeling we have had here before I came and it is amazing how quickly it came back. I inherited a situation and I have got to make it better," said Holloway.
"For me I can take some important things from that. In life or football you cannot do anything without structure. We need structure. We need a phase one, a phase two and so on.
"I went to try and get back in the game and that is why the score became as bad as it ended. The longer you go without scoring a goal the more important the next goal becomes.
"I am happy to take it on the chin. We ended up with five strikers on the pitch and I will never do that again because we are not ready for that.
"Reading were better than us out there but they weren't three goals better than us."

Anyone watch lacrosse, or follow it? Going to college in MD you can't help but notice it.
Oh God, the people who talk about football all the time. And I love how some of my co workers would say "Oh, when WE played Denver" (for example). Like they were actually part of the team themselves. Oh, dear Lord...forgive the religious references.
Now if they were talking about college football and they actually went to that particular university...that would be different. Referring to their team in the first person plural (inclusive) would be more appropriate.

A superbly informative yet easy-to-follow course that leaves plenty of room for the students' own thoughts and encourages us to look for more information online or in the printed media.

He is a personality who challenges his listeners, in a positive way, and who gives his subject matter true spirit and perspective. Thank you!

I absolutely loved this course; as a Classics major, I never really got the other perspectives in the Roman world aside from the Romans. It was enlightening to approach interpreting archaeological evidence through a Jewish lens rather than through that solely of the Romans.

A brilliant and fantastic course for anyone who enjoys history.
Professor Steven Fines has a great teaching ability about him, I really enjoyed listening and watching his enthusiasm on the topic.
The reason I only gave 4 star instead of 5 is quite an insignificant reason really but it is because any close up camera action was not the best quality.
I can not fault any of Professor Fines work, he's ability to explain and capture the essence is refreshing. Thank you very much.

Suzanne E. Henry is an award-winning public relations consultant and the CEO and president of Four Leaf Public Relations, a boutique communication practice headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia, with satellite offices in Washington, D.C., Dallas, Texas, and Freiburg, Germany. She specializes in helping organizations not only develop communication plans, but also earn internal buy-in. Henry spoke with CW Managing Editor Amanda Aiello Beck about the elements that should go into a modern communication plan and offers tips for how to ensure your plan gets implemented.
Amanda Aiello Beck: How has communication planning changed over the years?
Suzanne Henry: In the world of mass communications, everything has changed. More options are available to communicators than ever before. But those options also are available to everyone else. Everyone is smarter about communication, which means the professional communicators must be smarter, as well. Communication plans also must allow for change. Stay focused on your strategic imperative, but allow tactics to change as opportunities arise, the landscape alters and new ideas are spawned.
AAB: What new elements should be included in today's communication plan?
SH: At minimum, a communication plan includes an organization's vision, mission, goals and objectives, target audience, main messages, main communications channels used, strategies, tactics, measurement strategy, and timeline. But today, also list things you won't do. It's so easy to drown yourself in Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Snapchat, Google+ and other social channels. But have you identified why those channels are right for your goals? Knowing what you will not focus your attention on (but could) is vital for a focused effort.
Also, include a content strategy. The section addresses how you are going to assess, develop and manage the ideas, thoughts and content you will use to direct conversations,...

I had a promising career that I enjoyed, but then I fell head over heels with documenting love. Initially, I didn't even want to admit how much I wanted to learn about this creative world because of the dedication I had to my career. However, my heart was ready to explore. Now photography has become such a blessing in my life and I'm grateful for finally allowing myself to do what I know I was meant to do. I went from working behind the scenes in sports television, to building a career I love dearly. When I first picked up a camera, I realized that through photography I could tell stories. One of my biggest passions in life is learning about people and their stories. I'm inspired by life, by little moments that are not so little. So here I am, completely devoted to doing what I love, because I love LOVE!
PS. Somehow a part of me ended it up back in the sports world, but this time with my camera! See some of my work here.

We are stiil in Milan, and here are more of the best shows, this season!
If you like graphics,and stylish things, go Fendi.
If you love strong, colourful dresses, day or evening, Gucci is the way.
But if you are relaxed, sexy and bohemian, all at the same time... I think you're a Cavalli girl.
Many choices, and sense-of-style's to every women. That's Fashion Week. No matter if you are big or small, black or white...
If you have style, you still in Fashion, baby! ;)
I must say that I love Karl Lagerfeld's work at Fendi.It's always very graphic and luxurious, but with a fun twist. It's always innovative in cutting-leather, silhouettes, and accessories. like the very popular sunglasses, the bags and shoes, of course! This time I loved the colours, all that magnificent blocks of sweet colour cut by hand making beautiful and elegant pieces.
The shoes were absolutely gourgeous, and the way that they introduced the famous Fendi 'baguette' along side with a bigger bag, was impresive! The final dresses with fireworks effects were beautiful, and the final all-sequins dress, and 'baguette', walked by Joan Smalls, were really the masterpiece of this collection!
Gucci is here to set trends. The block colors in total look are here to stay! This was such an impressive and powerful show. The long dresses with so much big ruffles, and strong colors, always attached to the neck, making it more elegant. The colar details were amazing, it seems like couture, and it gives so much oppulence to the dress! After the colour, I also loved the black and white set of dresses. So elegant, pure and modern... The 'twiggy' make-up make it better, strong eyes is always a match point.
And Anja Rubik walking that long white dress with that cleavage, amazing sleeves and those eyes... Oh Lord... I can't even look!!!
Roberto Cavalli
Last Season Roberto Cavalli was impressive. And this season he's still here to killed it! This casual but always bohemian girl is here to show us what it feels like to have real sexyness in lifestyle. Amazing pure white looks with so much hand-crafted work, make those pieces be really special and so good in details. All the dresses had some touch of lace, always so sexy and pure, making the women more wanted and fatale. Did you see those trousers with striped leather? God, that is massive!
I also loved all the black section at the end of the show. So much lace, cuts on the body, beautiful jackets and strong womens...
Did you ever think that Cavalli was goin' wrong? Now he's in a good way, again. And this is a trully message of bohemian-sexyness!

'General Hospital' and the great Franco mistake
- Franco did not rape Sam. I know a lot of fans already suspected this, but it's been confirmed.
- Franco did not "kill" that guy from the art show. That guy killed himself. The fact that he conveniently did it when it could benefit Franco is just a coincidence.
- Franco is not behind Michael being raped in prison. That now happened purely because of his association with Jason (Sonny has been conveniently spared).

|Dance like no one's watching, chances are,
they aren't!
Bonus: It gets the blood pumping so if you are studying or writing or whatever, it will help you stay focused and you'll be able to work for longer.
2) When you're brushing your teeth, stand on one leg. Alternate.
3) When you're watching TV, during the commercials do sit ups, push ups, squats, lunges, etc. Do a different exercise every commercial break.
4) While I'm waiting for my beanie to warm up in the microwave at night, i like to some calf raises. I usually do it for about a minute.
5) I like to park farther away from the store, gym, or school etc. That way I get in extra steps.
Bonus: Save on gas! Every one else is driving around looking for a spot as close as possible, in the long run, by taking that first spot you see you'll probably save time!
6) This one is so important! Take the stairs!!!! I can't stress it enough, I mean, if it's 10 floors I understand taking the elevator, but I say 5th floor or less the stairs shouldn't be a problem. (And if it is, then I think this list might be especially important to you.) Suggestion: If you are going to the 10th floor, you could get off at the 7th (or whatever you're comfortable with) and walk the rest.
7) Waiting for the bus? If the bus is going to be a while, you could walk to the next stop. Or just take a 10 minute walk around.
8) Walk up the escalator. You could just stand there and let it do all the work, or you could walk up it, and save a little time.
9) Fidget. Tap those fingers, move around in your chair. Re-position yourself, whatever you can think of. I remember reading somewhere, years ago, that if you fidget throughout the day you could burn up to 600 calories. I think 600 calories from fidgeting would be an extreme and unlikely, but I'm sure it's possible to burn a few hundred. (That's like a small workout at the gym!)
10) On the phone? Pace! Don't just sit there, walk around!
11) Ladies... Don't forget your kegel exercises! Whether you're waiting in line at the grocery store or waiting for that red light to change to green.
12) Sit on an exercise ball rather than a computer chair. It's better for your core!
13) Skip! If you're just walking around the house, put a little bounce in that step! You'll burn extra calories!
|Just Dance!
15) Practice proper posture. So important! It uses muscles throughout the body, therefore you are burning more calories.
16) While you're standing waiting for something somewhere, contract your butt muscles, hold for 2-4 seconds, release, repeat. Work those butt muscles!
17) Got to run an errand nearby? Walk or bike!
|Playing Tug of war
18) Play with your dog! Tell him to sit and stay, then you go run and hide and call out to him. Make him find you. Give him a treat when he succeeds. Do this 5 or 6 times. And your dog will absolutely love it! (I do this with my dog and he goes crazy, he loves a good game of hide and seek!)
You could also play Tug-of-war, or take him for a run or walk.
19) If you're stuck sitting at a desk, slowly raise one foot 3-4 inches off the ground, hold for 15-20 seconds, slowly drop it back down. Repeat with the other leg. Then do both. It really works your thighs!
20) Laugh. Laughing is so important in life, it will give you a complete boost and work your abs! So laugh as much as possible.
What are some ways that you fit in a little work out here and there throughout your day?

Bull's Eye Credit Union Health Insurance
Open Enrollment Period
The yearly period when people can enroll in a health insurance plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace.
For 2016 coverage, the Open Enrollment Period is November 1, 2015 – January 31, 2016. People may qualify for Special Enrollment Periods allowing them to enroll outside of Open Enrollment if they have certain life events, like getting married, having a baby, or losing other coverage.
Penalty or fine if you don't have health insurance in 2016, you'll pay the higher of these two amounts:
- 2.5% of your yearly household income (Only the amount of income above the tax filing threshold, about $10,150 for an individual in 2014, is used to calculate the penalty.) The maximum penalty is the national average premium for a Bronze plan.
- $695 per person ($347.50 per child under 18) The maximum penalty per family using this method is $2,085.
Outside the Open Enrollment Period: You can enroll in health insurance if you have a qualifying event. If you have a qualifying event please call us toll-free at 855-533-1776.
Individuals may qualify for Special Enrollment Periods outside of Open Enrollment if they experience certain events.
Have you experienced?
- Change for Newborn — A birth triggers a Special Enrollment Period that allows the family to enroll for coverage, change a plan or add the baby as a new dependent. Also the baby can be enrolled as a Child Only Policy.
- Change for Marriage — A marriage triggers a Special Enrollment Period that allows a new couple to enroll for coverage, change a plan or add a dependent(s).
- Proof of State Residency for Non-US Citizens — Starting in 2014, Non US citizens are required to confirm their state residency to ensure that they are eligible for plans selected.
- COBRA — A Qualifying Event is triggered when COBRA coverage is exhausted at the end of the COBRA period.
- Legal Guardianship — Legal Guardianship is a Qualifying Event and treated similar to a birth or adoption.
- Permanent Move — We need proof of prior and new residence location.
- Employer's Bankruptcy — If this results in the loss of coverage for retirees, then this is considered a Qualifying Event for these retirees.
For further information see Special Enrollment Period and Qualifying Life Event at HealthCare.gov.

I am working on new blogs. This year has been a hard one. I am trying to figure out how to monetize my site without a lot of annoying ads where you have to keep clicking to read. That annoys me to no end but I understand someone out there is trying to turn a buck. I just wish the writing was a bit better. Make it funny or informative. I would rather hear about your job at the post office in funny short stories than read fake stuff like " 20 ways to please your man!"
Oh well to each his own. I am doing a bit of study and research and working on a novel.
In the meantime, I will put some of my older blogs on, just to keep in touch. I have over 1200.. blogging seems easier than book writing, I only have 4 of those and they were as a ghost writer. This time, my name goes on my work.
I am up for ideas and suggestions.
In any case,
Love and Light,

TWICE AS MUCH - OWN UP + THATS ALL (IMMEDIATE 1966 & 1968) JVC K2 mastering cardboard sleeves + 2 bonus
One of the most anonymous-sounding acts of the British Invasion, Twice as Much was the duo of Dave Skinner and Andrew Rose, harmony singers who also wrote much of their own material. Signed to the Immediate label (run by Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham), the pair recorded several singles and a couple of albums between 1966 and 1968. Most of these recordings were innocuous, pleasantly forgettable pop affairs in the Peter & Gordon/Chad & Jeremy mold, with light orchestral pop/rock arrangements that sometimes employed a touch of the Baroque. They had their only British Top 40 success with a cover of the Stones' "Sitting on a Fence"; although the Stones' version was one of their best cuts from the Between the Buttons era.
Twice as Much's debut album was an odd exercise in twee pop-Baroque production, very typical of producer Andrew Oldham's ornate, sometimes over-the-top grandiosity. The LP was evenly divided between group originals and covers of hits by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Small Faces. There was also the Spector-Goffin-King composition "Is This What I Get for Loving You Baby?" and "I Have a Love," both of which, coincidentally or not, were done in the mid-'60s by another one-time Oldham client, Marianne Faithfull. The originals, interestingly, were better, though hardly great. David Skinner and Andrew Rose were pleasant, though unexceptional, harmony singers, and played out their introverted, somewhat sad pop/ballads against orchestral production with heavy debts to the mid-'60s Beach Boys and California sunshine pop. "Life Is But Nothing" would be covered to good effect by Del Shannon on another Oldham production, and "Why Can't They All Go and Leave Me Alone?," in which the introversion slides into solipsism, is a notable obscure exercise in crashing, epic symphonic pop/rock. The covers do the originals no favors, emasculating classics like "Help" and "Sha La La La La Lee" into fey pop ballads suitable for upper-class parlors. Incidentally, there's a true all-star supporting cast on this record. The session musicians include guitarists Jimmy Page, John McLaughlin, Joe Moretti, and Big Jim Sullivan; drummer Andy White; keyboardists Nicky Hopkins and Art Greenslade (the latter of whom did the arrangements), and engineer Glyn Johns.
Twice as Much never got much more than a couple of dismissive comparisons to Simon & Garfunkel (to whom there's admittedly a slight vocal resemblance, although the U.K. duo's brand of lush psych-pop owes little to the New Yorkers' folk-rock roots) and a footnote in pop history for covering a Rolling Stones song on their first Immediate single ("Sitting on a Fence," the country-tinged opener here). This is a shame, because the vocal blend of Dave Skinner and Andrew Rose is simply gorgeous, and they were a dab hand as songwriters as well. Nothing on That's All is up to the level of "Night Time Girl," the album track from the debut, Own Up, that's among the loveliest songs of the entire psych-pop era, but this album is much more consistent than the patchy debut. Soft and gentle, along the lines of Chad and Jeremy's Of Cabbages and Kings, or perhaps Curt Boettcher's work, the album includes gems like a pair of Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane rarities, "Hey Girl" and the trippy "Green Circles," a dreamy take on the Dionne Warwick classic "You'll Never Get to Heaven," and an inspired medley of the ghostly original "Life Is But Nothing," with an oddly resigned version of Bobby Freeman's "Do You Wanna Dance." That's All is second-string work to be sure, but it's certainly of interest to all sunshine pop and lite-psych fans. [allmusic]

We are excited to have Dyson as one of our major sponsors for the Sydney One Fine Baby fair this August.
Dyson is a brand synonymous with innovation. From their upright, handheld, barrel and stick vacuum cleaners to their fans and heaters, Dyson creates products that simply get the job done. That is exactly what every busy household needs!
Dyson fans and heaters are a truly innovative product that uses air multiplication technology to cool your space effectively and efficiently. Not to mention they are a breeze to clean and stable and safe to use around kids. No more worrying about little fingers and spinning blades!
The Dyson cyclone technology provides a superior clean when vacuuming the home. The "no loss of suction" and air filtration features are only two of the many amazing innovations that make up these machines. You know your homes is clean and the air quality improved when you use a Dyson. Perfect for the homes of allergy sufferers! The stick and hand held models allow for quick and easy clean up, which is always a bonus when kids and pest are around!
Astra from Dyson shares more with us today:
What is your favourite way to spend time with the kids?
Building things. There are many great toys that allow kids to explore engineering and design. You see, children have an innate curiosity and they are fearless in their approach to solving problems. They constantly question us parents about how things work, what makes things tick. It's the kind of characteristics Dyson engineers have. Creating things with toys like Lego and Meccano is a good place to start. Or even just taking an old radio apart can provide hours of fascination and help inspire the next generation of engineers and designers.
Who inspires you?
Buckminster Fuller. A maverick engineer who believed that allowing children to fail could teach them more than trying to make them perfect. One of his most famous quotes is, " If I ran a school, I'd give the average grade to the ones who gave me all the right answers, for being good parrots. I'd give the top grades to those who made a lot of mistakes and told me about them, and then told me what they learned from them", we still live by that principle in our R&D facility.
What's for breakfast?
Bacon sandwiches.
What's your favourite thing to bake?
A rapid prototype Dyson cyclone pack. We have 6 large vats in which we create all our rapid prototypes in. It's kind of like baking, but rather than a cake, you get a piece of vacuum, fan or hand dryer ready to test, break and invent with.
What's your favourite bedtime story?
The Iron Man, by Ted Huges. It's brilliant sci-fi for kids, and his intricate description of the Iron Man is so awesome.
What is your go to remedy for a tantrum?
Give them the latest Dyson Digital Slim to play with. You'd be surprised to hear how many parents write to us saying that their children love vaccuuming now they own a cordless Dyson!
The One Fine Baby team would like to thank Dyson for their contribution to making the Sydney August fair possible.

Minnesota Conference Calls are more Reliable with Zip Conferencing
Conference calls can be very beneficial for your business by saving time and money as compared to an in person meeting. But just like you expect the lights to work in your conference room for your meeting you simply need the call to work or it is not going to save you anything. The reliability of your service provider is an essential piece in the puzzle yet many people do not consider this when selecting a vendor. Yet price and features are nothing if the service is unavailable or introduces noise in the meeting or drops its participants. Here are some of the steps that Zip Conferencing has taken to make sure your call is there when you need it.
Battery Back Up - Since all of the equipment we use runs on electricity the most important component is the power to these systems. Because of this we have battery and generator back up systems in place so that we can remain in service no matter what happens to the commercial power. In fact, our generators can power our entire business indefinitely.
Back Up Equipment - Our systems themselves are also redundant in case there is an equipment failure. We have hot stand by equipment that can be switched over instantaneously in the event of a failure. This is a very expensive step that many service providers do not take.
Redundant Telecommunications Connections - What happens if the long distance carrier we use has a major outage? Zip Conferencing has connections to multiple long distance carriers and could switch traffic to an alternate carrier in the event of a major outage.
Direct Digital Connections - Our calls are crystal clear thanks to our direct digital connections to our telecommunications providers. These connections provide high quality connectivity directly to the long distance network so that it sounds like you are in the same room with your participants.
These are just some of the steps we have taken to make sure your calls are reliable and provide the high quality you expect.


text: I have a Valentine One Radar detector, which can be installed with a direct power connection. Any ideas on what if any power source can be tapped?? I know that anything now is conjecture, but maybe you roadster geniuses can chime in on a viable location. Currently mine run on a line to a 12V power port located underneath the glovebox in the passenger footwell, tapped into the wire feeding the power port. Uses standard RJ-11 phone cord to transmit power to the detector which attaches to windshield with a suction cup mount (see picture).
