Greetings from the Music Room!
My name is Sarah Smith and I am the music teacher here at Jefferson. I will be at Jefferson on Mondays and Tuesdays. This is my 6th year teaching at Jefferson and my13th year teaching in the Mankato Area Public School system. I went to college at the University of Minnesota, Morris for my Bachelor of Arts degree and St. Mary's University for my Masters of Education degree. In addition, I have also taken many college courses from the University of St. Thomas.
I am a certified Orff and Kodaly teacher with certification through the University of St. Thomas.
The Orff philosophy of teaching music centers around sing, say, dance, and play. Through Orff teaching students use language, movement, singing, and instruments such as the recorder and xylophones to learn and practice musical elements.
For more information click on the link for an overview of the Orff Schulwerk method and the American Orff-Schulwerk Association.
The Kodaly philosophy of teaching music centers around using folk songs and dances to teach musical concepts in a sequential manner. Also in the Koday method is the use of rhythm and melodic syllables. We use the takadimi system and Curwen/Glover hand signs.
For more information on the Kodaly Concept click on the link to the Organization of American Kodaly Educators.
Students will be actively involved in making music throughout the year.

NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Hornets pushed the Chicago Bulls around in beating them in Chicago at the start of the season.
On Tuesday at New Orleans Arena, the Bulls pushed back, and the Hornets succumbed to the tough, physical play in a 96-87 loss.
The loss was the second in six games for the Hornets (19-35), who play at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Cleveland. Chicago (31-22) ended a two-game slide and had lost five its past seven games.
The Hornets were held to 41.7 percent shooting and committed 15 turnovers, but had the nine in the fourth quarter, dooming it against a team it had beaten at Chicago in November.
Small forward Luol Deng led the Bulls with 20 points; power forward Carlos Boozer had 17 points, 10 rebounds and four steals; and center Joakim Noah had 15 points and 17 rebounds, a season high for a Hornets opponent.
"I think we played with the right edge from the beginning to the end," said Noah, who helped the Bulls outrebound the Hornets 47-39. "Even when things didn't go our way, I think we brushed it off right away and got back focused. It was always about the next play. We definitely remembered they had played harder than us in Chicago."
Bulls point guard Kirk Hinrich had five points, 10 assists and three steals, but teammates said his impact, in his return after missing two weeks with an elbow injury, was far greater than that. The Bulls had 30 assists on 39 baskets.
"Kirk brings a whole different dimension with his defensive intensity, his feel for the game, the way he calls plays, his ball movement," Noah said.
Guard Eric Gordon scored 20 points to lead the Hornets, and Anthony Davis, playing against his hometown team for the first time, had 15 points and 10 rebounds. Point guard Greivis Vasquez had 11 points and 10 assists.
But for the Hornets, starting late in the first quarter, it was an uphill battle. The Bulls stayed in control, gaining double-digit leads. The Hornets would reel them in, only to see the Bulls push back out.
Coach Monty Williams said the Hornets played out of character, which was a big reason for the turnovers.
"There were stretches where we tried to go for home-run plays, and against a team like that, you have to be as solid as possible," he said. "If you remember the first game back in Chicago, we weren't throwing lobs every other play."
Still, the Hornets had their chances.
Trailing all game, they fought back to 78-77 three minutes into the fourth quarter, but Chicago turned them away with defense. After Bulls backup point guard Nate Robinson made a scoop shot in the lane, the Hornets turned the ball over three consecutive times, and Chicago pushed back out to 84-77.
The turnovers didn't stop there, and sensing the win, the Bulls kept up the pressure. A 6-2 spurt from 4:35 to 2:53 upped the lead to 92-82. The Bulls continued to crowd the lane and force turnovers and guard Ryan Anderson on the 3-point line.
The Hornets ended the third quarter trailing 74-68, but it could have been worse. For the second consecutive quarter, New Orleans fought back late to stay in the game.
The Bulls came out of halftime with intensity and built a 10-point lead, 62-52, by the halfway point. The score was 71-61 with 1:27 left.
However, after Jason Smith made a shot hook off an inbounds play, Austin Rivers came back with a three-point play.
Deng was left all alone and sank a 3-pointer with 40.5 seconds left for a 74-66 lead. However, Anderson was fouled by Taj Gibson with 3.1 seconds left while attempting a 3-pointer and made two free throws.
Late exploits also helped the Hornets stay close at halftime.
Having taken over late in the first quarter, the Bulls built a 35-28 lead on a 3-pointer by Jimmy Butler midway of the second quarter.
New Orleans fought back, with Davis getting a ridiculous left-handed slam of a high lob and Gordon sinking a 3-pointer and going coast to coast for a score after a rebound. That brought the Hornets to 37-35.
Still, the Bulls led 45-37 with 1:28 left. But Vasquez drove for a three-point play with 24.5 seconds left. Then, after Hinrich hit a jumper with six seconds remaining, Vasquez took the inbounds pass, pushed up court and threw a long lob to Davis, who scored, was fouled and made the free throw, cutting it to 47-43.
With the Hornets trailing 10-4 at 8:03 of the first quarter, Williams called timeout after consecutive unsuccessful lobs by Vasquez to Davis, then Al-Farouq Aminu. That seemed to light a fire under the Hornets, who then went on an 11-0 run to take 15-10 lead with 4:55 showing.
But Chicago then had a 10-2 burst, outscored the Hornets 16-6 the rest of the way, and led 26-21 at the end of the quarter.

Former pop star Katy Perry has been toying with various looks since coming out as the wokest in all the land for her Witness album blowout, and these pics from the set of Wednesday's Good Morning America reveal that she settled on Jamie Lee Curtis' take on a technicolor Blair Witch. It's sad what surgeons are willing to do these days. Perry was plighted with being a gorgeous, highly-bangable starlet back in her Reddi-wip tit days, and recently addressed her woes by becoming the elegant spikey-haired lezbot wannabe we see today.
Perry is taking her unbridled vocal talent to the American Idol reboot, where she will be able to give hot tips to aspiring stars. Be tone deaf. Get everyone to hate you. Make ugly shoes. Ta-da. While the short-haired rebirth is a staple for celebrity reinvention, somehow Perry's looks significantly worse than, everyone's? I always figured the point was to appear zany, carefree, and terrible, but to still get peens wet. I'm looking at the mentally handicapped Golden Girl who didn't make it, and I now have lifelong ED. Maybe what we're supposed to "Witness" is a complete public meltdown. Now I get it.

Today, consumer packaged goods companies must adapt in a world where the traditional business model linking manufacturers, retailers and consumers is finished. This paper highlights the key industry disruptors, lessons learned from early leaders and a quick guide to an approach for CPG companies evaluating the journey.
Consumer packaged goods companies can no longer count on continued success based on the historic formula of mass production to mass distribution to mass marketing. Geographical entry points are dwindling, and stores are now closing faster than they are opening. The ability to make new markets with product innovation (i.e., new flavor, features, or technology) has been largely co-opted by new brands with specific, differentiated attributes. The benefits of growth, influence, and market share are quickly transitioning from traditional CPGs and retailers to a combination of online start-ups and platform companies. CPGs must get ahead of the full-scale disruption curve and invest in robust digital and social platforms and channels that will enable them to effectively engage with consumers.

Preheat oven to 325.
Beat egg whites until frothy; add salt, cream of tartar and lemon oil and vanilla extract. Continue beating until they form stiff but not dry peaks. Using a rubber spatula, gradually fold in the sugar a few tablespoons at a time.
Using the same rubber spatula, gradually fold in the flour, one quarter at a time. Be sure that you use a true folding motion, gently turning the spatula from the bottom of the bowl to the top, folding in air with each stroke as opposed to beating or stirring. You just went to all that work the whip up the egg whites, don't want to beat them to death.
Pour batter into an ungreased, 9-inch angel food cake pan (you know the one with the tube in the center, not a bundt pan).
Bake one hour or until top is golden brown and the cake pulls away from pan sides.
Remove cake from oven . Cool in the pan ten minutes and then invert pan and let cake stand upside down for an hour or until cooled.
You might let the cake stand over a plate in case your oven was funky and the cake plops out of the pan prematurely. Hey, it happens.
While cake is cooling prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest. Let stand ten minutes before glazing the cake as it thickens a little. Serve immediately.

In Step Brothers, two lazy, underemployed 40-something men -- Brennan Huff (Will Ferrell) and Dale Doback (John C. Reilly) -- still live at home with their parents, enjoying a life of perpetual adolescence devoid of ambition and responsibility. This state of bliss (to them) is disrupted when their respective parents -- Robert (Richard Jenkins) and Nancy (Mary Steenburgen) -- fall in love and get married. Suddenly, Brennan and Dale find themselves step brothers.
They start off truly loathing each other, with Dale having the upper hand since they're living in his dad's house. There are certain ground rules set by Dale, in particular that Brennan must stay out of his Beat Laboratory (the room where his drums are kept). They almost kill each other one night, but there's nothing quite like a common enemy to bring two warring sides together.
CLICK HERE to read the full Step Brothers review by Jim Vejvoda.
Score: 7 out of 10
Video and Presentation
The film is presented in the original theatrical 2.40:1 widescreen aspect ratio. There's nothing particularly striking about the visuals in this film, with the exception of some pretty outdoor scenes where the light is warm and golden. The transfer here is fairly clean, although there is a bit of grain throughout that's light, but noticeable if you're looking for it. The colors are kept to a natural range, but the contrast is middling and some of the definition is lost in the night scenes. It's not the most spectacular presentation ever, but it's certainly good enough for this film.
Score: 8 out of 10
Languages and Audio
The most impressive feature of this TrueHD 5.1 surround mix is the way it delivers the intricate and often surprising score by Jon Brion. Each note rings true throughout the sound field and provides and interesting and well-balanced counterpoint to the dialogue-heavy audio design. Every joke lands crystal clear, focused mainly in the center channels, but with a few moments of clever directionality that make you sit up and take notice.
Score: 8 out of 10
Extras and Packaging
Action and science-fiction films on DVD often have the edge when it comes to video and audio quality, but comedies (especially the improvisation-based ones popularized by Judd Apatow and company) often make for the best and most entertaining collection of extras, and this release is no exception. Besides the copious amounts of outtakes, alternate takes and extended scenes, there are a few bonus features here that have been created specifically with the DVD in mind.
The first disc in this two-disc set contains both the theatrical and extended version of the film, as well as extended and deleted scenes. The audio commentary is provided by Ferrell, Reilly and McKay, with "special guest" NBA star Baron Davis. One of the coolest features on this disc is the commentary score -- yes, a score written especially for the commentary -- by the film's composer Jon Brion.
The second disc contains the bulk of the special features. Here's the long list of bonus material you get with this release:
- Line-O-Rama
- Gag Reel
- Job Interviews
- Therapy
- Prestige Worldwide Full Presentation
- Boats 'N Hoes Music Video
- Dale vs. Brennan
- The Making of Step Brothers
- The Music of Step Brothers
- Charlyne Moves In
- L'Amour En Caravane
- Red Band Trailer
- BD-Live Exclusive
"Line-O-Rama" is the usual kind of alternate line readings you get with improvisational films like this. It's not surprising that Reilly and Ferrell come up with some pretty good jabs at each other. It's like the two of them are constantly showing off for one another, engaging in a form of dueling banjos-style comedy. What is surprising is to see the rest of the cast get into it too, even the young kids. Part of the goal of these alternate line readings is to make the rest of the cast and crew laugh, and some of the times when they succeeded can be found on the gag reel.
The "Job Interview" section has 10 segments: "Nad Check," "Spy," "Name Confusion," "Sex You Up," "Shut Your Mouth," "F--k, Kill, Mary," "Smash Those Glasses," "Resumay [sic]," "License to Interview" and "You're Hired." Each one is an alternate version of the various job interviews that Brennan and Dale blow in spectacular fashion. The segments aren't just brief throwaway scenes, some of them go on for several minutes and are just as funny as anything that made it into the film. The "Therapy" section is basically the same thing, but with seven alternate therapy sessions between Dale and Brennan and their therapists. The segments are titled: "Movies," "Make It a Nap," "Word Association," "The Dream," "Let's Run Away," "Coping," "Kiss Your Neck."
The full "Prestige Worldwide" presentation is an extended scene from the film showing Dale and Brennan's hilarious business proposal during Derek's birthday party. The full "Boats 'N Hoes" rap-style music video by "Huff 'N Doback" (and directed by "Goose, manager Pine Harbor") is also included. It's basically just the two of them with a pair of bikini-clad women on a boat reciting intentionally offensive lyrics.
"Dale vs. Brennan" is an extended cut of their initial introduction in which they describe themselves and list their achievements, from "I can catch a fly with my bare hand," to "I watch Big Brother every Sunday; it's the law," to "I once valet-parked Bret Michael's car." This banter continues into their dinner conversation, lying in bed at night and other moments of confrontation in the film.
The making-of is a standard behind-the-scenes documentary featuring interviews with the cast and crew. All of the interviews emphasize the importance of keeping it loose and finding actors who could keep up with the improvisational style of Ferrell, Reilly and even McKay, who would often shout out his own ad-libs from the director's chair. The constant pressure to be funny added an interesting layer to the production, especially for actors like Richard Jenkins and Mary Steenburgen, who were used to more traditional filmmaking techniques.
The two of them get their chance to shine, however, in their own mini-movie featurette, "L'Amour En Caravane," a story within a story about a fictional on-set crush Jenkins had on Steenburgen and how it affected the other cast members. Through a series of cleverly improvised scenes, they act out their little love affair, creating a little story within a story. This is exactly the kind of specially produced extra that fans crave, and it works well here. Another odd little specially produced extra -- " Charlyne Moves In" -- doesn't quite work as well. In it we meet Charlyne, apparently a friend of Judd Apatow's who has been evicted from her apartment. He's invited her to live in the house set, making for some interesting interactions when her domestic life inadvertently interferes with the filming. It sounds a lot funnier than it is, but it's still worth checking out.
One of the best features, oddly enough, is the music documentary, which covers the creation of the score by genius Jon Brion. There are few composers working today who deserve their own featurette, and Brion is one of them. He talks about drawing inspiration from classic Disney family movies as well as indie rock. If you aren't familiar with Brion, this is a must-see introduction to an astonishing artist at work. It's divided up into segments, each showing a different facet of the music recording. Besides the full studio orchestra, Brion also jams with Greg Saunier from Deerhoof and Nels Cline from Wilco. Like the film, their session is very much loose and improvised while the footage just plays in the background. Later on, Brion brings in Chris Thile of the Punch Brothers, who provides a one-man quartet on different variations of mandolin with jaw-dropping proficiency. There's some amazing talent on display here that film and music geeks alike will enjoy.
Score: 10 out of 10
The Bottom Line
There was obviously a lot of material left on the cutting room floor when Step Brothers hit theaters, and this DVD is a great opportunity to see some of the great bits that got left out.

Greece - August 08
soaking up considerable EU grants.days in Nafplion in the wonderful Hotel Ippolyte. On the Peloponese, this is a place we've been to many times. We swam in the sea every day for eight days, including one day at Herion, an ancient Greek port, where you can jump off the cliffs.
Our one day out was to the Temple of Appollo at Bassae. This is a great drive right into Central Greece and, although the temple is shrouded in a giant tent, it's well worth seeing. The Doric limestone columns are mostly in place despite centuries of earthquakes and robbing for building. Its remoteness seemed to have saved it. It's contemporary with the building of the Parthenon and by the same architect. On the way back we stooped for lunch in Andropolis - fantastic chicken and lamb in herbs and lemon juice. The best meal of the whole trip.
The best Taverna is the Naflion down at the port, the one that takes up an alley behind the ciema (converted mosque) and the The Old Taverna just up behind the Museum (never been open in the five years we've been going there, despite soaking up lots of European grant money).

Expanded Programme on Immunization Prototype Curriculum for nursing/ midwifery schools in the WHO African Region
Human resources are central to managing and delivering health care, including immunization services, to the population. Policy-makers, managers and pre-service training institutions are essential to ensure that a health workforce, sufficient in numbers, well-educated and trained, adequately deployed and motivated, is available to provide immunization services of good quality. Another challenge is to ensure that health personnel training is relevant to national needs. Education and training, therefore, must be coordinated and integrated with the developing health system as it moves toward meeting the objectives of universal coverage in the 21st century included in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and in the resolution on the Global Immunization Vision and Strategy (GIVS) 2006–2015 and Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP) 2011–2020, the Regional Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) Strategic Plan 2014–2020 and the Global Action Plan for Pneumonia and Diarrhoea (GAPPD) 2010–2025.

ATR360 includes biometric verification and proximity reader for added peace of mind
The ATR360 is a top-loading punch clock that uses familiar time cards for recordkeeping purposes and offers a biometric fingerprint scanner to eliminate costly "buddy punching." Employees simply press their enrolled finger against the fingerprint scanner on the ATR360. Once their fingerprint has been scanned and accepted, the time will be printed on their time card.
If you prefer to use badges, the ATR360 also includes a proximity reader that allows the use of either proximity badges or convenient key fobs to identify employees. Once their badge or key fob has been read and accepted, the time will be printed on their timecard.
The ATR240 offers the same basic features as the ATR360, without the biometric or proximity readers.
Both the ATR360 and the ATR240 feature a large backlit digital time display, two-color printing and a built-in musical chime. These clocks automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time changes and can optionally be equipped with a battery backup to allow punches even during a power failure.
Each year, "buddy punching" costs employers thousands of dollars.
Buddy punching, or "time theft," occurs when one employee clocks in or out for another who is not present. The result: absent employees get paid for time they are not working. A 2008 Nucleus Research study revealed at least 19% of employees admit to participating in the practice.
Biometric verification can virtually eliminate buddy punching, but has traditionally only been available on computer-based time tracking systems.
Now, the innovative ATR360 time clock allows employers who prefer to use traditional time cards to enjoy the money-saving benefits of biometric verification, all with one self-contained time clock. There is no PC required and no software to install.
If you prefer, the ATR360 also includes a proximity reader that allows the use of either proximity badges or convenient key fobs to identify employees. This can also go a long way toward eliminating buddy punching. Once the employee's badge or key fob has been read and accepted, the time will be printed on their timecard.
Upgrade your time tracking to the ATR360 today and enjoy the peace of mind offered by reliable biometric and proximity technology.

SPRINGFIELD - Soon-to-be retired police officer Jeffrey M. Asher has been charged with assault in connection with allegations of police brutality that erupted after a traffic stop nearly a year ago.
Asher has been charged with assault and battery and assault with a dangerous weapon for allegedly thrashing drug suspect Melvin Jones III with a flashlight last November. Asher, a 17-year-veteran of the police force, could face up to 10 years in state prison if convicted, according to Jones' lawyer.
The charges issued late Thursday, after a closed-door hearing on the matter Oct. 7 in Holyoke District Court. Asher will be arraigned Nov. 17, according to Jared Olanoff, Jones' court-appointed lawyer.
A clerk magistrate rejected criminal charges against three other officers involved in the traffic stop on Rifle Street on Nov. 27: patrolmen Michael J. Sedergren and Theodore Truiolo and Lt. John M. Bobianski.
The alleged beating was caught on amateur videotape. Olanoff provided the clerk magistrate with a copy of the film and a transcript (included at the end of this post), which states one of the officers - all of whom were white - shouted "Put your arms behind your back, you (expletive) nigger," during the arrest.
Nonetheless, the magistrate declined to bring a civil rights violation-related assault charge against Asher, which Olanoff was seeking in addition to the other two.
"I honestly don't know why that charge wasn't issued," Olanoff said.
Jones filed an application for a criminal complaint against the officers after District Attorney William M. Bennett failed to convene a grand jury into the officers' conduct after several months, Olanoff said.
Bennett could not immediately be reached for comment Friday morning.
Officers argued Jones, who has an extensive criminal history and allegedly had drugs in his car when he was stopped, made a grab for Sedergren's gun during the arrest. A grand jury rejected those allegations, however, and Jones was charged with cocaine possession and resisting arrest.
While only Asher has been charged criminally, possible disciplinary action still looms for all four after a civilian review board held three days of closed hearings and reportedly voted to take varying measures against all four. However, the members of the advisory board have refused to discuss their votes and have signaled they will report their recommendations to Police Commissioner William J. Fitchet early next week.
However, Asher will likely receive disability retirement benefits by the end of the month after the city retirement board approved his application Sept. 1. Police officials have said Asher went out on stress leave after the videotape was made public in January. The other three officers have remained on the job.
"Those officers have been on the street, making good arrests and protecting the citizens. They're good cops," said Sgt. John M. Delaney, executive aide to Fitchet.
Delaney said he expected Fitchet's decisions with regard to disciplinary action will come quickly once he receives the board's report.
Warning: The transcript below contains strong language.

No problem: we will continue importing unqualified doctors from Third World hellholes. Going to a doctor will become more dangerous than staying home.(For older and sicker patients, this is ESPECIALLY true. Anyone who doesn't understand that Death Panels are on the horizon is naive.) Insurance fraud will skyrocket.(Even now, foreign born doctors are disproportionately involved in such fraud.) And, oh, another thing: they will all vote Democrat.
White Guy doctor here. I could work 24 hours per day every day of the week and I wouldn't put a dent in the number of patients who want to see me. We are in for a very RUDE AWAKENING. And, yes, get ready for your serious medical conditions to be addressed by a salaried physician assistant or nurse practitioner. Maybe Dr. Muhammed will come in and take a look. Worse care, less frequently (as appointments will be rarer than gold), with fewer phone calls returned. Obama, Pelosi and Reid have destroyed our future.
Why go to medical school? If you don't need identification to vote why do you need any to "practice" medicine? ;-)
Unqualified??? How do they get their license(s) to practice? Your state operates no testing boards?

Intricacy is the name of the game when it comes to Spanish artist Lorenzo Duran's intricate cut-away leaf art.
The artist carefully washes and dries the leaves before cutting away at them in a manner similar to Chinese paper cutting and Mexican picado. The results are beautiful, with some images contained entirely within the edges of the leaf. In other pieces, the artwork creates a new edge, in a manner that recalls Kara Walker's silhouettes.
Duran says the pieces are for sale on his blog. Should you like a leaf that's already been sold, he will attempt to recreate the design on a new leaf.
The Huffington Post reached Duran via email, but the artist said he was extremely busy and that the art would have to speak for itself. Let us know what you think of the selection here in the comments, and be sure to head over to Duran's blog for even more of his art.

Weight loss is the major problem that every other suffers. Unhealthy lifestyle, hectic work schedule, and other work commitments leave no time for the health check. Obesity has become a major health issue. Teenagers, youth, middle-aged or old, male or female, obesity has spared no one.
Earlier people used to all their work by hands, that had helped them to stay fit. But the scenario has changed completely today. With the technology advancements in recent times, no one actually takes the trouble to use their hands and feet to work.
Instead, they use their thumb or fingers to press a button and get their things done. Due to the lack of physical work people are growing fatter. Technology has made them slaves.
Over the years the lifestyle of the crowd has also changed tremendously. Their work commitments keep them busy all the time. The office work involver sitting at a single place for a long time.
This often leads to obesity. The lifestyle that people have adopted today is also a big reason for obesity. The food that people are eating today is undoubtedly tongue liking delicious but does no good to their health.
In order to overcome the targets and the workload, people often neglect their health. No one bothers to lose the extra bulges. People, today, are very smart and intelligent but they still lack awareness when it comes to obesity. People should understand how important is it to lose weight and stay fit.
Obesity leads to various heart-related problems like cardiac problems. type 2 diabetes, obesity hypoventilation syndrome and also the dreadful disease like cancer. People should be aware of this disease and should take a step forward towards a healthier tomorrow.
Weight loss is not a big issue. One needs to be determined enough to get back to the healthier version. But again it is very important to understand that starving is not the only option. Many people especially girls starve to get into the perfect shape but this is the worst thing one can do to their body. Instead one should take a healthy diet which includes fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, meat, etc.
One should also not follow the diet plans and exercises given on the internet. Every person has a different body and metabolism. So people should always consult a dietician and then plan a proper diet and fitness regimen.
One should not suffer the adverse effects of obesity. Obesity not only affects the physical health but also the mental health. Obese children are often seen getting into depression. They start to feel out of place and also become the butt of all jokes. They could not handle the mental torture.
The parents of obese children should take appropriate steps to give their children a healthy lifestyle. It is very important to instill good food habits in children and make them always opt for healthy food choices. The elders, on the other hand, should also start investing some time in the gym and adopt healthy eating habits.
Health is the wealth. One should never neglect his or her health come what may. Just take out a little time from your busy schedule and do some light exercise and monitor your food habits to keep the weight in check.

David Fisher, managing director of investments at Benjamin F. Edwards:
Each phase of my education and career has filled an important role in my life. I grew up near Chicago and had always been interested in math and science. So I studied engineering at Iowa State University, and later focused on nuclear energy because its such a technologically advanced field.
After finishing my masters degree, I worked in a nuclear power station. I enjoyed the work immensely, but the job required long and irregular hours. It was not particularly conducive to family life. So I decided to do something different.
Over the years, I had managed a trust fund for a family I was close with. I gained experience managing this trust and felt pretty good about it. So I decided to get an MBA at the University of Chicago at night.
I graduated in 1989 and went into corporate finance for a Fortune 500 company before moving into the brokerage business. That time I spent in corporate finance ended up being a major plus for when I moved into the brokerage business, since our work was to identify good investment opportunities for the company.
As time went on, I wanted to have a more direct and positive impact on the lives of individuals. I also wanted to be compensated more directly for the effort I made in my work.
The brokerage world was a perfect opportunity to combine those two goals. I began my career at A.G. Edwards in 1998, and stayed with the firm through its mergers with Wachovia and later Wells Fargo.
In 2010 I joined Benjamin F. Edwards because I was entering what I felt what would be my most effective and productive years. I wanted to be in a place where my clients would be best served, and where the firm would give me the freedom to serve them as I see best. My clients and I have been thrilled with the transition.
As an advisor, I have found it greatly satisfying to help families plan for the higher education of their children and grandchildren. And Ive helped clients make meaningful gifts to their alma maters. We figure out how we can help the client make that gift, protect that financial legacy, and do that in an optimal way for the clients portfolio.
I love working for people and doing good things for them. Everything I do as an advisor is about serving my clients. Theyre good people with good goals and I take that responsibility seriously. And that energizes me. More than anything else, that keeps me in the business.

HACKENSACK, N.J. - October 22, 2013 --Prosecutors say a northern New Jersey man illegally collected more than $72,000 in Veterans Affairs payments following his mother's death.
Joseph Taradyna of Wyckoff is charged with theft by deception.
Bergen County prosecutors say the 48-year-old Taradyna shared a bank account with his mother, and he never notified VA officials after she died in April 2009. He then continued to receive wire transfers that were deposited into the account by the VA for the next five years, collecting $72,900 overall that he used for personal expenses.
It was not known Tuesday if Taradyna has retained an attorney. A phone number for him could not be located.

If you are in search of that inner energy to shift your circumstances, by a significant magnitude, this is one of those books that can help you along the way. Highly recommended accompniment for Charles F Haanel's "Master Key System" and Napoleon Hill's "Thing and Grow Rich".
Not really sure why these "free" e-books are not more widely touted particularly for the younger generation, as they contain the cornerstones of the greatest innovations of modern times, from Electricity, to Flight and empires such as Bill Gates built in a relatively short time.
The most important part of this study is putting into practice the immutable Laws and having the courage and confidence to believe in your ability to succeed.

|Tz govt commitment to the
OGP (click to enlarge)
This has got me thinking. What actions could the government take that would have a positive impact on open government immediately? I've come up with some options, and would love to know what you think.
VijanaFM suggest that e-government should be a priority - that policies, reports, speeches, etc. should be put on Ministry websites as a matter of course. Since these documents are prepared on computers, soft copies must be available, so why not put them online? Some ministries do - the Ministry of Water website is a good example that was rightly praised in the excellent recent report (pdf) by the Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA), and the Bunge website does a good job as well with making Hansard and high-level budget data available. Other ministries don't. (There are times when I've felt that some government websites addresses should end stop.tz rather than go.tz.).
And this could easily go further than making essentially text-based documents available and put whole datasets online. Kenya has done this recently, publishing 160 datasets at opendata.go.ke, so why not Tanzania? Just in the water sector - which Daraja is most familiar with - there are several databases that could be shared: Waterpoint Mapping, EWURA's Urban Utility Database, Water Resource Management data, the ministry's contract management system. So, an open-data platform for Tanzanian government data is option 1.
But with only around 2% of Tanzanians online, this option could be described as elitist. It would help researchers, academics, journalists, students and activists, but the vast majority of Tanzanians would be left out. I'm not saying it shouldn't happen, particularly as journalists and activists can act as intermediaries, accessing, interpreting and popularising information for a wider audience. But we should also look for ways of making government data accessible to those without internet access as well.
An Indian-style right to information law would be one way of doing this. This has proved to be a very powerful tool for citizens and citizens' groups to find out what government is doing in their name - over 40,000 applications for information were filed in the first year. And a similar law has been previously suggested in Tanzania, with a proposed law put forward by the Media Council of Tanzania and HakiElimu, among others. The process started some time ago and has stalled, but could very usefully be restarted. So passing the proposed right to information law is option 2.
But what about a "quick-win", something of immediate and practical value to large numbers of Tanzanians? How about the President, or somebody else with suitable seniority, publicly sends a circular to all government ministries, departments and agencies, including local government right down to the level of a village or school, saying that the default response to any request for information from a member of the public, journalist or civil society group should be to provide that information.
At the moment, despite the constitutional protections for the right to information, that is not the case. Ask for a simple piece of information and you will be told "nyaraka za serikali hazitolewi ovyo" (government documents are not just handed out to anyone), in the words of one local government official here in Njombe. We asked schools for information on how much capitation grant they had received, and they wouldn't tell us. Asking council education departments for the same information was even harder.
A circular like this would be a short-term solution while waiting for a right to information law to be passed. It wouldn't guarantee that information would be provided and wouldn't have the weight of law behind it. But it would be quick and easy to carry out and would give citizens greater confidence to ask for information and make it harder for requests to be refused. So option 3 is a high-level directive to all government agencies that requests for information should be granted.
I'm sure there are many alternatives, but these are three options to get the discussions started:
- An open data platform for Tanzanian government data
- A right to information law, based on the MCT proposal
- A high-level directive to government agencies that requests for information should be granted
- Something else - what?
So tell us, what should be the priority?

Instead of focusing on one beer today, let's talk about the selection of canned beers offered from Butternuts Beer & Ale out of the great state of New York.
As I've said before, I'm a big fan of canned beers. Especially in the summertime. It just seems to go better with an outdoor setting, having some barbecue or sitting at the beach. Cans just make sense. And I think they keep the beer colder. Maybe that's not true, but it feels right to me at least.
Butternuts currently makes four different style of beers and ales. They are:
Hennieweisse– Their take on a Hefeweizen. Very drinkable and fun. Like all wheat beers, I prefer to drink this one out of the glass and observe the cloudiness and smell the rich aroma. I think it stands up very well to its German ancestors.
My Rating: 8 out of 10.
Porkslap– I love the artwork on the can on this one. Very whimsical and fun. Great for a BBQ. There shouldn't be a barbecue joint in the area that doesn't serve this brew. It tastes great on its own as well, a really rich and surprisingly malty Pale Ale. Delicious!
My Rating: 8 out of 10.
Moo Thunder – I'm not a stout guy. Let me clarify. I love Guinness Stout, but I've had a hard time accepting any other stouts over my long history of beer consumption. This one is no exception. Maybe the reason is the time of the year. Stouts and summertime just don't go together well for me. I'll give it another go in the Fall. OK?
My Rating: 5 out of 10. (for now)
Snapperhead– A very, very drinkable IPA with a lot less bitterness than most. Tasted great right out of the super cold can on a super hot day. I love IPAs in the summertime! Gotta say my current favorite out of the Butternuts Barn.
My Rating: 9 out of 10.

After reading previous reviews I was excited to try this product for my enlarged pores on my nose... I have been using it for two month and it is fine but not wonderful. It does not make my pores any smaller as far as I can tell. Also, I am at the end of the tube and it is nearly impossible to squeeze any product out. It would be better if it were in a jar! I feel like you can buy a similar quality mask for a fraction of the price. I regularly use and love other Glytone products, sad to say but this has not been one of my favorites. I will not be rebuying.
Many products promise to reduce the appearance of large pores--this one actually works. After one use, the pores in my T-zone were invisible, and stayed small throughout the day. It also immediately and very obviously reduced the fine lines all over my face, an added bonus I wasn't even looking for. My new favorite product. Can't wait to try the whole line!
At 43yo I have tried lots of products on my oily, acne-prone, sensitive skin. Two yrs. ago I tried this masque and my search was over, FINALLY! No more acne, no excessive oil, no sensitivity and my skin is softer, much smoother and less hyperpigmented. Of course, I use a good cleanser, toner, M2 in am, Green Cream in pm, and moisturizer with sunscreen. Most people think I am in my early 30's, wich is good because I have 3 young kids and I do'nt want to look like their grandma. TRY IT.....

New Beef Alert: Jay Z vs. Water
A utility company is mad at Jay Z's statement about water.
In an early defense of Tidal, Jay Z made a puzzling comparison. "The challenge is to get everyone to respect music again, to recognize its value," he told the Times. "Water is free. Music is $6 but no one wants to pay for music." Since water is not, in fact, free, this earned Jay a round of light internet mockery, and now a utility company in Colorado has penned the rapper an open letter to set the record straight. "[T]o say that 'water is free while music is $6' isn't exactly true," Denver Water's Steve Snyder wrote. "This isn't meant to state the obvious fact that some people can't pay their water bills, so water must not be free. But your comments bring up the issue of how people value water — an issue our industry struggles with all the time." Water is not free, Snyder notes, it's just incredibly cheap, which makes people underestimate the value of the utility that provides them with it: "So perhaps we have something in common. You will continue your quest to help people understand the value of music, while people in my industry will do the same with water." Of course, had Jay Z been a more avid Monopoly player in his youth, all of this could have been avoided.

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
For the past three years, Jono Bacon has worked as community manager for Ubuntu, one of the largest and most diverse projects in open source software. Consequently, when he recently published his thoughts on building and managing communities, people listen. More unusually, as I found out in a recent interview, when people like me critique his book, he listens, too, with a view to improving the second edition.
"To me, this is the first part of the story," Bacon says. "The first part's going to have holes in it where it doesn't quite fit the needs of most people, but the second edition will be the part that's really interesting."
Published by O'Reilly Books, The Art of Community available as a print and online book, as well as a free download. It is a mixture of anecdotes and practical advice based mainly on Bacon's experience with Ubuntu. Its topic is community -- specifically, distributed communities in which people interact primarily through Internet technologies such as IRC and mailing lists. Its chapters range from creating and growing such communities to how to govern them and what to look for when hiring a community manager.
The book has received enthusiastic endorsements from other FOSS leaders, and 18 five-starred reviews out of 22 on Amazon.
In many ways, the book deserves this praise. Bacon is an experienced journalist, and few people can match his practical expertise on the topic. All the same, just as you might expect, the book can be criticized on several points, in particular for the lack of context in its general approach and its lack of history.
What is unusual -- and, to a reviewer, mildly disconcerting -- is Bacon's apparent willingness to consider potentially negative comments as feedback. In fact, I could almost feel ashamed for finding faults, except that Bacon's responses and general agreement to my comments suggest that the book is not just valuable in itself, but even more so for the conversations it starts.
The first thing you are like to notice when reading The Art of Community is that it is a highly personal book. That is a strength, in that Bacon's expertise is both obvious and rare. Yet it is also be a weakness, because the book's credibility is dependent largely on the writer alone.
As Bacon himself says, "One of the caveats of the book is definitely that this is my idea of how I think [community] should work. There's a very strong personal bias."
One problem with this single viewpoint is that, no matter how expert the writer is -- and Bacon's suitability for being the writer of this work is never in any doubt -- is that readers tend to judge a book partly by its citations. Even though The Art of Community, is non-academic work, many of its readers are university educated, and may judge its credibility by its sources.
Admittedly, providing those citations would not be easy, because Bacon's work is in many ways a pioneering effort. "One of the things that was really hard about writing it," he says, "was that there's not a huge amount of content out there about it. There's people who have written books about very general communities, but they talk about it from a largely social science perspective, and there wasn't a huge amount of practical content."
All the same, Bacon does mention some management theory and techniques as relevant, so finding relevant citations should not be that hard.
If nothing else, Bacon might cite community leaders from projects other than Ubuntu. However, when communities other than Ubuntu's are mentioned, such as KDE, Google, and the Linux kernel, they are mentioned from an outsider's viewpoint, with little description of how they are organized internally.
The result is that, although Bacon comments to me that "The thing about community is, there's definitely more than one way to skin a cat," little of this variety is described in the book. Yet, if you are interested in the subject at all, hearing a diversity of opinions would only improve the handling of the topic.
This omission is especially important in the discussion of conflict. As a member of Ubuntu, whose members agree to a code of conduct about how they should interact with each other, Bacon views conflict as something to avoid, or to be resolved as soon as possible. "In my mind, having a more hostile community is less than stellar," he tells me.

With the most recent update to Uber's ride-hailing app, the company has begun requesting users if they are willing to share their location data with Uber app even while the app is not in use. The company says it plans to use the data gained to improve user experience — including offering improved pick-up times and locations. From an article on Business Insider: In August the company moved away from using Google Maps for its service and began using its own mapping technology. Google's lack of accuracy in many non-Western countries led to increased friction between consumers and drivers. This means the company needs to boost the amount of location data it has. Location data could also be used to provide new channels of revenue for the digital platform. This could include serving ads of local businesses or recommending nearby places of interest to users. Mobile marketing, which relies on accurate location data is a rapidly growing industry and could serve as a revenue windfall for Uber in the years ahead as it faces increasing competition. In fact, revenue from location-targeted mobile ads is expected to grow at an annualized rate of almost 34% between 2014 and 2019, surpassing $18 billion, according to a forecast from BIA/Kelsey.

Former DII champ eyes London gold
Dlagnev never dreamed of titles but now chases Olympic medal
There is not a weekend on the calendar year when a young grappler cannot find a wrestling tournament of some kind, somewhere. For some, it starts moments after those first steps outside the crib. It works its way through junior high and high school, and culminates with a spot on a collegiate roster.
The hours spent in mini-vans and SUVs is endless. A weekend might include eight or 10 matches. The grind continues every week as low-level single-legs, cross-body rides and whizzers become ingrained inside a young wrestler's mind.
The ultimate goal, the top of the mountain for many, is to be an Olympic champion. But only a select few earn that distinction, and most of those are the ones whose first singlet may have been a diaper. It is not out of the ordinary to hear a 10-year-old talking about winning a gold medal; of walking in the footsteps of legends like Dan Gable, John Smith or Cael Sanderson.
Not so for Tervel Dlagnev.
As a sophomore in high school, he barely knew how to put on a headgear much less fight off a double-leg attack. Actually, the big kid had never participated in organized sports. Throw in the fact that he was attending Arlington High School in the not exactly wrestling-rich state of Texas and very few would have put the "pudgy" native of Bulgaria on any future Olympic squad. Yet, he saw something that motivated him.
"I liked wrestling from the start," Dlagnev said. "It changed my life, motivated me in ways I hadn't been motivated before."
|Tervel Dlagnev is not the only athlete looking for a medal at the London Olympics after competing in college at the Division II or III level. Others like DIII Willamette's Nick Symmond were looking to leave their mark for the United States.
A quick learner, he progressed faster than most.
He won back-to-back Division II titles at Nebraska-Kearney in 2007 and 2008, barely eight years after taking up the sport. His first year of collegiate wrestling ended with a broken foot, for which he was given a medical redshirt. A year later he was sixth at the DII Championships while still in the early part of his learning curve.
"Before we ever got started he wanted to see video on everybody on our team," said UNK head coach Marc Bauer, whose brother was an assistant coach at Arlington High. "He could emulate every one of their stances on the first day because he's spent time already wanting to learn whatever he could. He was like a sponge right from the start.
"But also looking back, I am not surprised he is where he is. He is such a positive influence in everything he does."
Against most wrestling aficionados' odds, Dlagnev, still in the developmental stage by wresting standards, will represent the United States in London at the 2012 Olympics. In June, the likeable third-place finisher as a high school senior rolled through the 264.5-pound freestyle bracket in Iowa City, beating old nemesis Les Sigman in the best-of-three championships series.
"Looking back, thinking that Tervel was going to be an Olympian … it just shows how far he has come and how much work he has put in," Bauer said. "He has a ton of supporters in Kearney and it's going to be unbelievable for us to have someone in London, someone who wrestled at our little Division II school. It's been a good year. We get word we are going to host the first Nebraska Dual State Championships; we win the national championship in March; a month later we have an Olympian."
"I have great memories from Kearney," said Dlagnev, who moved with his family to Texas from Bulgaria when he was four years old. "I would not be where I am today without my time there."
As might be expected, Division I coaches came calling after his first DII title. But Dlagnev chose to stay in Kearney, not wanting to put into jeopardy any of the relationships he was starting to establish. Training with former World Team member Tolly Thompson, a bronze medalist at the 2005 World Championships, only sped up the process.
"We didn't have anybody who could really handle him," Bauer said. "There were times during the season when he would go to Northern Iowa [Thompson's job location at the time] to let him train. Tolly really took him under his wing."
Henry Harmony may be the spark that lit Dlagnev's wrestling flame. As many high school coaches do, Harmony, wrestling coach at Arlington since 1985, was working the hallways and PE classes in search of prospective team members. One kid in particular, a less-than-athletic looking sort who didn't seem to be too motivated toward any current endeavor, became a topic of conversation.
|Running at a dream
|Golden roommates
|Divers: Twice as nice
|Duke duo wins silver
|Schmitt grabs gold
|Vollmer's rebound
|DIII standout eyes gold
|McCrory dives for gold
|NCAA Olympians: By Sport | By School
"It's like winning the lottery," Harmony told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "I'll never win the lottery because I've already won it. Very few people make this level. [Dlagnev] has reached the pinnacle of amateur wrestling. They talk about living the dream. Well, he's living the dream. He wasn't a guy they would have picked, but he's there.
"As a coach, you don't really know. You plant a seed, and once in a while they'll grow."
Dlagnev's mother, Igrena, was terrified at first, thinking competing in a sport could be more along the lines of helping her son lose some weight as opposed to going toe-to-toe with 250-pound monsters.
A change in attitude led to better grades, and as a junior a slimmed-down Dlagnev finished fourth at the Texas state championship. A year later he was third. Harmoney, a Nebraska-Kearney graduate, convinced Bauer to take a chance on a kid who had a lot of potential, a potential that translated into four All-America seasons with three trips to the DII finals.
The next step for Dlagnev, the international realm, was quickly put on hold as Dlagnev was nowhere near the nation's top heavyweights at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials.
A year later, amazingly, Dlagnev won a bronze medal at the 2009 World Championships in Denmark. Two years after that, in Istanbul, Turkey, the American heavyweight finished fifth at the 2011 World Championships.
It almost boggles the mind to think that a "pudgy" kid without any wrestling background could go, within 10 years, from beginner to elite in one of the world's toughest sports. Entering the London Olympics, he is among those to watch when it comes to possible Olympic medalists – his resume includes a victory against two-time Olympic champion Artur Taymazov of Uzbekistan.
"I've seen myself standing at the top of the [Olympic] podium a lot," Dlagnev said. "The Star-Spangled Banner playing, my hand on my chest and probably crying. It is going to be great.
"My goal was not to just be an Olympian, but an Olympic champion."
A man of strong faith, Dlagnev is that guy you think of when you hear "it couldn't happen to a nicer guy." And although the loudest cheers will come from a small community in Nebraska and a high school in Texas (Olympic wrestling begins Aug. 5), there is no doubt by the time the London Olympics are finished, most Americans should know the name Tervel Dlagnev, with or without a medal. Among those in attendance will be Bauer, who, like many who have seen the development of America's top heavyweight, will no longer be amazed by what Dlagnev does.

Trade Network Distribution Management System Project is a web application developed for computerizing process of distribution for traders to increase sales and to reach maximum users.
A group of hardware vendors (from Bangalore) turned into a Syndicate to compete with the currently prevailing fierce competition. These Syndicate members are spread across the city to provide better accessibility and service to their customers. By becoming a Syndicate, they can pool all the orders from customers of different locations in the city, and make a bulk purchase to gain more voluminous margins / discounts from the main distributors. In turn, these profits can be shared with customers by providing more competitive prices, and better service.
They are looking for better media to provide, what these syndicate members have in their mind, to the prospective buyers. Though their present locations and areas of business is a great advantage for their operations, at the same time these became hurdles to provide unified offers and services to the target customers. The communication between the syndicate members is also another problem and is time consuming.
Distribution Management System Main Modules:
This is one of the main modules of the project. In this module we define all the administrative tasks and how they are conducted. There are various types of administrative tasks like
- User administration
- Customer administration
- Area master
- Products master
- Member administration
- Visitor administration
- Category master
- Accessories master
User Administration
User Administration is used to modify or edit or add new user details who are using the site. In this module all the user's details are entered into the database.
Customer Administration
In this task the administrator has to add a new customer, edit a customer or delete a customer. The administrator is responsible for providing the customerid to the customer. All the details of the customer are loaded into database for any further reference. Here in this module the level of the customer is assigned by the administrator as 'C' and the level of the administrator as 'A'.

Many people do not realize that the UHF frequency can be used for both Far Field Passive Backscatter tags commonly known as "UHF Passive Tags" and also as near Field Electromagnetic Inductance Coupling identical to the Low Frequency and High Frequency tag reading methods.
Even less known is that there are UHF passive tags available that are both Near Field and Far Field and that the exact same inlay can be Far Field Only or Near Field Only.
Near Field tags do not have the large read distance that Far Field tags do. In fact the Near Field read range is under 0.5 meter and usually under 50 cm or 1.6 feet read range, very much like the 13.56 MHz read distances.
The main reason for the Near Field UHF tags is so companies can use a single 900 UHF Gen 2 system and just change the antenna to read the near field tags (usually at the POS). Now instead if having UHF Gen 2 just out in the warehouse and using an AES system for retail control you can use one system - one solution for all your RFID needs. This really simplifies your hardware, your labelling, and your infrastructure requirements.
Currently there are a number of Near Field and Far Field inlays that are very small as they are intended to be used on small objects not pallets and big cartons. Vials, bottles, packs, cartridges, small devices, CD's and DVD's, battery packs, lipstick and more. Essentially the Near Field UHF tag can be used for any small item tagging with excellent results.
Near field antennas generate a magnetic field identical to LF or HF technolgies and the Near Field inlay responds to the magnetic field based on the size of the inlay - so larger near field inlays provide longer read distances than the smaller inlays. Single Near Field antennas such as the NRH flat panel below have many uses in production control - checking and verfication of tags on small items, checking tags on PCB boards, anywhere you need a small tag with a short read range and excellent read and write capabilities.
When you need item level shelf control for small valuable iutems such as jewellery, the NCP Near Field antenna below is what you need. This panel is actually 4 individual NRH antennas set together to provide logical locaiton cotnrol by the 4 individual antennas. THis is very useful in high value asset controls so when tagged item is removed from the location there is an immediate rsponse that an item has been removed. This antena is not a good fit for production purposes.
Why would you want to use 2 different RFID systems HF and UHF if you can use one and have the benefits of hardware interoperability! You get the best of both worlds with one Gen 2 solution!
Some of the Near Field/Far Field inlays are the "Microdot", the "Button", the "Paperclip", the "Satellite", and the "Radar"
These Near Field Inlays are displayed below in the approximate actual sizes:
An excellent example of near and far field usage is our CD and DVD labels which use the Radar inlay. If we use the Near Field inlay we have a read distance of about 50 cm. However, for our new CD and DVD tracking system we use the Far Field inlay and have a great 1.2 Meter or 4 foot read distance!
Below are 2 Near Field Antenna from MTI. Please note the pictures are not studio pictures as these are newly released antenna! For more information on these Near Field Antenna please use our UHF Antenna Information Request Form and select "Near Field" in the Other UHF Antenna section.
Frequency: 902~928 MHz.

Just before my illness I was on secondment in Minneapolis-St Paul [MSP], a ridiculous long moniker for a city that we in Canada would just call Welland. Arriving in Downtown MSP the first thing you notice is that there are NO buildings in the International Style. This immediately tells you that from sometime in the 1950s until the 1990s the town was in decline. Even my home town of St Catharines [Pop 280,000] has a building representing that period.
Today's Google Doodle celebrates the greatest International Style architect of all time, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Mies to his friends. Le Corbusier is a vastly superior visionary, but he never built anything, so that rules him out. Philip Johnson comes close, but his primary contribution is that he moved the International Style into Post Modernism
A little known fact about Mies is that he never lived in his own buildings. For living he adored luxurious fin de siècle 19th Century architecture, so he lived more like Jules Verne than George Jetson, whilst designing buildings whose vernacular is still as fresh as the latest pop song.
Mies has more than a few Canadian connections. Phyllis Lambert, the Bronfman heir, gave Mies his greatest commission in the Seagram Building in Manhattan.
The Toronto Dominion Centre is essentially a clone of that project. Although it is gradually being eroded. The shopping Mezzanine has been destroyed by renovations. However Shawn Micallef tantalizingly informs us there's a Mies van der Rohe-designed Cinema mothballed somewhere in that complex.
My favorite, and the gem I save for last, is that he designed an Esso Station in a suburb of Montreal. This is an almost inconceivable marvel. Imagine a Daniel Liesbkind Chrystal Harvey's in Newmarket. No, really, that's what we're talking about. A purely functional building for a chain franchise in an unremarkable place. Designed and built by the greatest architect of his time at the height of his powers.
Needless to say the owners attempted to demolish it in 2008. Fortunately it was built somewhere French, where culture is air, and the community refused to demolish, somehow acquired it, and it is now a community centre.
