…on the for the Weeks of 02/03/2010 - 06/17/2010 :
Should teens have part-time jobs to earn their own spending money?
message: yes they should!
message: Yes they should. But there aren't any jobs availible for
teens under the age of 16. I really want to get a job and earn my
own money, but I can't find anywhere to work. The only jobs I can
do are babysitting and petsitting and I never get those
message: I believe it's a choice. Because not all students
require money for leisure - they can do things for free. However
when a certain age is reached a teen should stop asking their
parents for money and should begin the process of "personal
management" which prepares them for when they are actually on
their own.
message: yes they should have part time jobs so they can buy
there own clothes, save up for a house or a car when they get
older. also if they have kids they can take care of them like
feeding them and making sure they have clothes
message: Absolutely! I've had a part-time job since I was 14 (I'm
nearly 17 now), and I've loved the freedom that comes with
earning my own money. It was also a great way to learn some
financial responsibility.
message: well i am a teen and i say no.. at least for the typical
teenager.. most teens are so pressured into drugs every day that
the last thing they need is money to buy the drugs with.. i know
a few people who would buy it and try it just to stop the peer
pressure... i have been homeschooled since 5th grade for that and
many other significant reasons, my mom heard of this really cool
idea when i was little:
you have at least four divisions for your money-
-tything (we always try to give to God first)
-taxes(in case we own our own business)
we get our allowance for chores every two weeks and divide in
that order.. we put the savings in the bank and we get a tax
return at the end of each month.. if a teenager was to have a
part time job and needed help with budgeting i would recommend
this.. you can keep the different money in folgers coffie cans or
any 4 containers you like...
thanks... great web site!
message: Yes,they should have part-time jobs to earn their own
spending money,and they can feel the worth of money.
message: I Believe We Should. It Teaches Teens How To Be
Responsible With Money && Gives Them A Taste Of What Their
Financial Life Could Be Like. Also It Gives Them Experience &&
Opens Many Doors. Lastly They Can Help Support Their Families By
Working. It's Not Just Adults Who Need The Jobs..It's Us Too!!.
message: I think that teens shold earn their own money because
teens need to learn the responsability of spending money and to
learn how to interact with coworkers. It's understandable that
job and money give teens more freedom, therefore part-time jobs
for teens teach them to be responsable with their freedom and
message: As a teen myself, if I could get a job I would. Mostly
because when I turn 16 I would like to already have $ saved up to
buy a car. How can I buy my own car @ 16 if no one lets me work
before I turn 16? I don't want to have to wait after I turn 16 to
earn money and then buy a car. I also want $ befoe that to go out
and do things without having to ask my parents for $. Also, my
summers are spent doing nothing... so why shouldn't I be able to
use that time to make $?... How can adults expect us to be
responsible if we can't make our own $, buy things ourself, and
then show them we can take care of them?...
message: Yeah, teens should be able to work. When they get older
message: That highly depends on the teen. If they want a job they
can have one, but if they can't even manage their school work
they are probably better off not getting a job. I don't have a
job because I already procrastinate on most of my homework, and
getting a job would only help me not do it.
message: YES. We need to learn to be independent BEFORE the day
we turn 18 and are forced to. And, we need to learn that we can't
always depend on our parents for everything we WANT.
message: ya i think that teens should ern their own spending
money because it will give them a taste of the reall lif and we
all have to be ready for it. however gas money the parents
should help out with.
message: i do not agree with bobby i think that the parents
should always buy food and cloths for their kids because it is
the parents responsibility.
message: i think that it important for teens to be able to work
for spending money because it teaches us future skills for when
we get a job for a living
message: the answer is yes. If and only if it does not interfere
with their school work. part time job can teach them many
valuable lessons that school or family cannot provide.
message: Yes, we should be able to but the only jobs for, us
under 16, are baby sitting and dog sitting and I don't think
that, that is really fare for us because some of us actually want
to get jobs!
message: no
message: Having your own money is great. But if work your marks
start to slide doswnhill you should dump the job.
message: I'd say it depends. I think teens should get jobs, if
they can find them. For spending money, yea, part-time jobs are
great. Parents shouldn't have to pay for a teen's music or other
random purchases. I think teens should get, if possible, a
clothing and school allowance (fixed amount) for them to allocate
and budget how they choose. It can be hard to find a part-time
job, especially if there are lots of other teens trying to get
jobs too...
message: Teens should get part-time jobs for extra spending
money. It can get them valuable experiance for the work life
later on, and companies like McDonalds, SEGA, and even Wal-Mart,
need executives. Important people like Bill Gates had jobs at
McDonalds early in life
message: I think that if teens want extra, they should get jobs.
It also helps them to learn responsibility and the value of
money. It also could help their parents out during this harsh
message: Yes. If we want to show how responsible we are to our
parents then we should get a job. Plus if we earn money from our
job, parents wouldn't have to pay for our clothes anymore or even
our first car.
message: yes.but time is $ procrastinators..........
message: yes i do think teens should have part-time jobs. most
parents are tired and may be un able to afford giving their teens
money. i myself am a teen who has a job. and my parents no longer
lend me money.
message: Yes, it would be the coolest thing ever!
message: yes the sould
message: yes the should because this is the stage where every
thing sets in our mind. So if we take all of our parents money
now we will be feeding off of them now. Than we would be feeding
off of them forever
message: yes they should because at this age of our lives just
about everything we do sinks into our brains
message: Uh...Yeah they should have part time jobs. They need to
get ahead in life, so the can have a family, a home, and earn a
really nice job.
message: I do think teen should be able to get a prat-time job
because it will makes us more respondalbe and we can learn the
vale of a dollar
message: i will say yes
message: Yes, they should because it will teach them
message: Yes, definitely, I think that teens should have a part
time job to earn there own money and that way they don't have to
ask and bother parents and have them spend the parents money when
they could be bringing there own money so parents could manage
better and teens could learn responsability and good skills for
future, have money to save up for college and they choose what's
most important to them with how they would be spending there
money and it would not be parents fault because they were there
to give advise and support them in what they think is worth for
there teens.
message: Most of the time: no! Coming from a graduating high
school senior, your education should really be your top priority
- so you can get into a fabulous college, get a degree and earn
WAY more money down the road. Sacrificing success in the future
to earn pocket money in high school is just dumb. That said,
there are two reasons a part-time job could actually be worth it
for a teen:
1. it's something relevant to what you want to do when you grow
up. This will give you valuable experience in your field and make
it so so so much easier to get another position after you
graduate. (Example: a job in a research lab.)
2. You/your family actually really needs the money. People say
(okay, I said) school should be first priority, but really, 30%
of American teens aren't even in school and you shouldn't have to
be one of them because your family can't afford it.
message: I believe so. A job not only gives teens money, but is
also just something to do. If everyone had something to do all
the time, nothing bad would stem out of boredom.
message: yes so that they wont be lazy there whole life and wont
be wanting all their parents money!!!!!!!
message: yes so they dont take their parents money!!!!
message: nope because my parents need to give me money so I can concentrate on my "studying" which is really just chillin at the house or doing something besides studying lol
message: Yes. It teaches them self control, responsibility, and
respect for personal property as well as others property.
message: i definitely think teens should have part-time jobs for
the usage of personal things, there are advantages such as
staying out of trouble; they will be too busy working, they don't
have to bother their parents for extra cash, and lastly it builds
work experience and character for the future.

Discover The beauty of Jordan
Where can we take you?
Boasting epic scenery and a story that goes back for millennia, warm and welcoming Jordan has been delighting visitors for hundreds of years. Many visitors come to Jordan with history in mind, and understandably so: this appealing Arabic kingdom is steeped in ancient stories and packed with momentous relics! The 'Rose-Red' city of Petra is jaw-dropping proof of this: slowly revealing its majesty after a trek through a steep sandstone gorge, it's a marvel of ancient Nabatean engineering and an absolute must-see on your itinerary. The capital of Amman also abounds in historic rewards, where plunging into its labyrinthine downtown reveals a rich tapestry of sensational Roman remains and atmospheric ancient souks. Add to the mix swish new restaurants, cosmopolitan bars, and upmarket hotels, Amman is fast becoming an alluring destination in its own right. With your historic and urban curiosity sated consider taking an unforgettable journey across the billowing sands of Jordan's vast biblical deserts. Pause a spell at Mount Nebo, where the Promised Land was revealed to Moses, and soak in the stunning views over The Dead Sea; later perhaps you'll baste yourself in the mineral rich gooiness the shoreline mud before taking a restorative dip in these iconic therapeutic waters. You'll even sleep beneath the desert stars enjoying the warm hospitality of Bedouin tribes, who offer a tantalising glimpse into their centuries-old nomadic traditions – it's a far cry from the luxury hotels Jordan has to offer, but you'll find it a magical experience for a night or two! However long you spend in our pick of hotels in Jordan, you'll discover a lifelong friend in this wonderfully welcoming and captivating country, as the Jordanians say: Ahlan wa sahlan ("make yourself at home").

My friend was telling me about how she hates reading slash on here lately because of "scene girls writing just because they think boys kissing is hot" so I decided to write this. If you're planning on taking it seriously, then you should leave now. If you read all the way through and feel offended, I really don't want to hear about it.
Slash from the Scene Girl's Pen
There once was a teenager named Pete. Pete was into the latest trends such as dyeing his hair completely unnatural colors, cutting his wrists while his favorite bands played on his iPod (those bands would include My Chemical Romance, Fallout Boy, and Hawthorne Heights), and fitting his ass into girl jeans that he stole from his best friend, Kate.
Pete wasn't the happiest kid ever and no one could blame him. I mean, his dad beat him, his mother was an alcoholic prostitute, his boyfriend had just killed himself because his hair straightener broke, and everyone at school made fun of him by calling him such derogatory names like "emo" and "gay."
Just because he cried a lot, cut his wrists, and only owned tight little band shirts didn't make him emo. Just because he wore girl pants, wore more make up than most girls, was obsessed with his hair, and had had a boyfriend didn't make him gay. He was just trying to be an individual.
Well, Pete always had a dream despite his terrible, horrible, oh so sickening life. That dream was to start a band and become famous! He'd be the newest big hit… he could just feel it. The only problem (which added on to his long list of other problems) was that he didn't have anyone to start a band with. He couldn't play instruments. He could only sing. (Well, whining was singing, right?)
So he started looking for other people to join his temporarily one man band, which he decided to call "xx Razors, Pills, Hate, Suicide, More Hate, and Death xx." No one seemed interested however, until one day in class when he saw this amazingly hot new kid walk in.
He was wearing the exact pair of girl jeans that Pete had been saving up for and also had on a Fallout Boy shirt! Oh happy day!
Pete pushed Kate away from his table and raised his hand. "Oh, teacher! Teacher, the new boy can be my lab partner!"
"What happened to Kate?" asked the concerned teacher.
"Well, this is a slash story, so she won't come back into it for a long time… Ew! Vagina!"
The teacher shrugged and sent over the new boy.
"Hi," Pete purred. "I like your lip ring."
"Thanks." The new kid smiled what seemed to be a pain-filled smile. "I like your eyebrow ring."
"Oh my god! Cool! My name's Pete. What's yours?"
"No way!"
Class started up, but Pete couldn't pay attention. He was too busy staring at the new boy. He could almost forget his ex-boyfriend. Gerard was way cuter anyway. Besides, his ex wasn't all that great because his shoes weren't Converse. Gerard's were.
After class, Pete stayed by Gerard's side.
"Hey, Gerard, want to join my band? It's called 'xx Razors, Pills, Hate, Suicide, More Hate, and Death xx.' It'd be really cool if you could."
Gerard just shrugged with one shoulder. He had so much attitude. So cool. "I can't play any instruments."
"That doesn't matter! Meet me at my house after school!"
"But I don't know where you li—"
"Just be there!" Pete merrily skipped away to his next class, where he once again couldn't stop thinking about Gerard. Sure, they'd only just met about an hour ago, but Pete knew he was in love.
Pete was pacing in his room. He'd already changed his clothes ten times and just couldn't decide on what to wear.
He finally did pick something out and was about to leave his room when his father walked.
"Hey, Pete. How was your day?" Pete's dad asked.
Pete screamed. "Please don't beat me, daddy! No!"
"That's it you little piece of shit! You'll never talk to me that way again!"
Ten minutes later, Pete was lying on his bedroom floor, wiping a bloody nose on the back of his hand as his dad stormed out of the room. Why was his life so horrible!?
But then the doorbell rang and he knew it was Gerard. He got up, wiped his nose one more time, and trounced on out to the front door. He let in Gerard who was standing there with a confused expression on his face.
"Is something wrong?" Pete asked.
"I have no idea how I got here since we only met today and you never told me where you lived…"
"Oh well! Come on in!"
The boys entered the house and immediately Pete turned to Gerard and gave him a passionate kiss.
"Make love to me," he whispered.
Gerard shrugged. "Okay." They kissed some more but as Pete's fingers started to unbuckle Gerard's studded belt, Gerard froze and then pushed Pete away.
"I'm not gay! Oh my god!" And with that he burst into tears and ran away.
Pete was so distraught that he went into his room and cut himself. And he accidentally went a little too deep. As he bled on his bedroom floor, he cried and let his tears mingle with his blood, thinking of Gerard and how much he loved him, but how much Gerard hurt him.
He closed his eyes… and could not open them again.
Pete woke up in a hospital bed, staring up at Gerard.
"I thought you were dead," Gerard cried. "Your alcoholic hooker of a mom found you and brought you in here. She somehow knew to call me though we never met and she shouldn't have had my phone number. I'm sorry that I hurt you. I really am gay!"
"Oh my god! I love you so much!" Pete whimpered. The boys kissed and outside the hospital buzzed on, unaware that two boys were completely in love.
The End. Lmao
I used Pete and Gerard on purpose, so this is not a fanfic in anyway. So don't complain. And don't be all "scene is this and emo is that omg you got it all wrong." That was not the point of this. Thanks.
And thanks to that friend from my top AN for letting me steal her…name sort of…

A campaign to train Syrian opposition forces to fight hardline Islamic State militants, which was due to start this month, has been delayed by Washington, Turkey's foreign minister said on Friday.
U.S. officials have said they plan to train about 5,000 Syrian fighters annually for three years as part of a program to counter Islamic State forces in Iraq and Syria. However, details on the program have been thin, and it appears unlikely to start this month.
"Because of U.S. [geographic] distance, there has been a minor delay but everything is fine both politically and technically," Mevlut Cavusoglu said in an interview with Turkey's NTV television, adding there was "no delay" from the Turkish side.
He did not elaborate on why Washington's geographical distance had shifted the original timeline.
Ankara hopes the training will also bolster the weakened and divided Syrian opposition in its war against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Turkey would also be open to contributions from a third country to the program, Cavusoglu said, a day after Britain's Defense Minister said London would send around 75 military personnel to join the training.
"No decision has been made on this. But if such a proposal comes from Britain, we would assess this and in principal we would not say 'No' to this, we would be sympathetic," Cavusoglu said.
Asked whether Turkey and the United States had agreed on the deployment of armed drones to Turkey's Incirlik Airbase, Cavusoglu said: "If there would be a need for more drones, our military would make the decision but we are not at that stage yet."
The U.S. Air Force has remotely piloted aircraft stationed at the base near the Syrian border, which have been used for surveillance.
Turkey has been a reluctant partner in the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State, refusing to take a frontline military role despite its 1,200 km (750-mile) border with Iraq and Syria unless there is a strategy which includes the removal of Assad.

Remember Miranda? Well, I recently designed a logo for her new website and health coaching company – MirandaGerber.com – as well as a new business card (which I will show you later).
Super simple, yet so elegant, and so reflective of Miranda's character. Simple, sweet, and pretty (although she is a self-dubbed bohemian fairy).
And it looks great on gold, doesn't it?
Stay tuned for the business cards ❤

Kettle Corn
I made Kettle Corn for the first time this week. It's very good and I'll definitely make it again. I found the recipe on Sweet Amandine and thought that it was time to try it.
I never make popcorn. I mean ever. So it was rather random that within a couple of weeks of wanting to make Kettle Corn, I was leaving CVS and saw a Boy Scout with his father selling bags of popcorn. I took it as a sign!
Next time, I'll reduce the amount of popcorn slightly and won't leave it in the pan so long. Several pieces burned. Cooking with hot oil really scares me, so this was a big step. Maybe I'll even make donuts one day! ; )

Hi there, Anali. Oh dear, it does look like it got just the slightest bit burnt. (You're very generous to say that it was good despite the trouble that the recipe gave you!) The timing can be a little tricky. With kettle corn, you'll need to remove the pot from the heat sooner than with ordinary popcorn, since the sugar burns more quickly than the kernels themselves. And are you shaking the heck out of it while it pops? Finally, be sure to dump it from the hot pot immediately into a bowl so that the kernels don't continue to cook... and burn. I burned my first pot of kettle corn, too, but then I got the hang of it. I hope you'll try it again. Happy Friday!
- bellini valli said...
This looks like a must try Anali. I appreciate all the feedback so that the outcome won't be a mess.
- Suldog said...
Your mention of the Boy Scouts leads me to tell you that MY WIFE and I purchased some of their popcorn, and it was GREAT. The caramel corn was light for such a thing, but still had some interesting cashew bits and whatnot, sort of like Crackerjacks with a college education. I highly recommend buying some next year when they do more fundraising.
- Lisa said...
jess - Thanks for the follow-up! ; ) I did shake it a lot. But maybe it needed more? I'm going to try it again soon though.
bellini valli - It's definitely worth a try, because even with some burnt pieces, it was delicious!
suldog - LOL! "Crackerjacks with a college education." ; )

Sent this to Boo the other day in light of our current shared haircolour.
A nurse from england was on duty in the emergency department, when a
punk rocker entered. This young woman had purple hair styled into a
mohawk, a variety of tattoos and strange clothing. It was determined
that the patient had acute appendicitis and was scheduled for
immediate surgery.
When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff
found that her pubic hair had been dyed green and above it was a
tattoo reading:"Keep off the grass."
After the prep and the surgery, the surgeon added a small note to the
dressing which said: "Sorry, had to mow the lawn."


text: Everyone who has watched the Uttarakhand natural disaster unfold on TV has been shocked at the magnitude of the destruction and the loss of lives. Besides rescuing the stranded tourists, the primary focus is now on rehabilitation of the local people. Jubilant Foodworks Ltd launched the 'Sahyog' initiative last week, among its employees. This was a two-fold drive. Employees graciously contributed part of their salary and the total collection was matched by an equal contribution from Jubilant Foodworks Ltd. Employees also contributed non-perishable food items like rice, pulses and biscuits. The collected material is now being delivered through an NGO to the rehabilitation camps in Uttarakhand. Our prayers are with all those affected by this disaster of unparalleled magnitude.

Jacob's Sons Born to Bilhah and Zilpah
After Jacob had fathered six sons by his wife Leah, Rachel gave her servant Bilhah to Jacob as a wife, and Leah gave her servant Zilpah to be married to Jacob as well. Each servant bore Jacob two sons.
- Dan was Jacob's fifth son and the first son born by Jacob to Rachel's servant Bilhah (see Gen. 30:1-6). Dan means "he that judges."
- The second son born to Bilhah by Jacob was Jacob's sixth son, Naphtali. Naphtali means "gained through wrestling" (see vv. 7-8).
- After Leah saw that she had stopped having children (earlier she had born Jacob four sons) and that two sons had been born to Bilhah, Leah gave her servant Zilpah to be married to Jacob. Gad came from this union; He was Jacob's seventh son. Gad means "good fortune" (see vv. 9-11).
- Asher was Jacob's eighth son and the second son born to Zilpah by Jacob. Asher means "happiness" (see vv. 12-13).

There are several key trends driving the beauty and personal care market in 2014. First is the need for multi-functionality as consumers no longer settle for a two or three-in-one product. All-in-one products are becoming mainstream and are expected in almost every beauty segment. Secondly, consumer preoccupation with image and how they are perceived by others is another important trend somewhat attributed to the 'selfie," a buzzword for a photo taken of one's self and uploaded to social media. This concern for one's self-image means beauty companies will have to tailor to specific consumer needs with personalized and solution-based products.

A. Most of Mac OS X's digital-media experiences hold up pretty well when compared to those in Windows XP, but one glaring exception is digital photography. OS X ships with a fairly lame Image Capture application that does bare-bones image acquisition but offers no organizational or editing capabilities. Well, that situation has changed with Apple's recent release of iPhoto, a free OS X-only add-on that gives OS X exciting digital-photography features. If you're running OS X, it's a must-have.
I'll review iPhoto in Connected Home EXPRESS soon; in the meantime, here's a quick rundown of some of its capabilities. In addition to image acquisition, iPhoto organizes your photos into digital photo albums that you can arrange several ways, with on-the-fly image thumbnail resizing. You can crop, scale, rotate, and edit images using red-eye reduction and black-and-white effects, then upload the images to a digital photo-printing service or print them on your own printer. A particularly cool feature lets you assemble and order a hardcover book of photos and text. And you can export photo slide shows in QuickTime format for easy distribution on the Web. For more information and the free download, visit the iPhoto Web site.

They are not forgotten. Hmm, please keep your changes in an upstream branch? I've been merging a bunch of chapters, so you might have some conflicts to resolve. We should probably try to hash out a better structure for the docs, it's currently pretty messy. As for changelogs/NEWS/CHANGES, I: - Agree we should merge all of these - Don't agree that we should use split files per minor release branch - Think we might split, say, pre-1.0 releases into a changelog archive - Think we should write a nicely hand-written introduction for each minor release branch - And fairly extensive, somewhat-ordered changes for each micro release Cheers, Dirkjan

For any well-run business, minimising unnecessary expenditure is a priority. It's commonplace for management at all levels to scrutinise cost – a totally reasonable stance to take: why would any company want to spend money they couldn't afford? But what does this mean for facilities managers? Most FMs will have to produce detailed financial and business justification for purchases they wish to make and be expected to minimise costs. In this context, it makes sense that you elongate the lifespan of your assets as much as possible and ensure they are utilised to their full potential. To ensure you are able to do this, you need to know exactly what assets exist, where they are and how they are being used. Effective facilities and asset management systems and procedures can add significant value and increase profitability. The cost-related benefits are quantifiable, with a three to six month return on investment by no means uncommon. This white paper looks at three important facilities management strategies to enable you to save costs and increase profitability:
- Asset value maximisation
- Asset tracking
- Technology exploitation

Yesterday, Verizon announced a flurry of new markets set to be given 4G LTE coverage on May 17th. And sure enough, the carrier is at it again, announcing even more markets that will be graced with the high-speed network later on this month.
Verizon has revealed five more U.S. cities that are set to be covered in its next-generation network starting on May 17th.
These five new markets will join the eleven other markets that were already slated to get 4G LTE service from Verizon switched on that day.
The new markets added to the list include:
- Fredericksburg, Virginia
- Martinsville, Virginia
- Shenandoah Valley, Virginia
- Dickinson, North Dakota
- Williston, North Dakota
So, those of you living in those areas will see 4G LTE service become available on May 17th which means that devices like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus or the Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX will now be able to connect to the network. Users will also be able to pull down data speeds that can reach up to 10 times faster than 3G. Proof of that can be seen in the video below.
In addition, eleven other cities in the U.S. will see 4G LTE service that day and those include:
- Benton Harbor, Michigan
- St. Joseph's, Michigan
- Ashtabula, Ohio
- Bucyrus, Ohio
- Defiance, Ohio
- Franklin, Pennsylvaia
- Oil City, Pennsylvania
- Somerset, Pennsylvania
- Northern Cambria County, Pennsylvania
- New Castle, Pennsylvania
- Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Verizon has maintained a fairly steady roll out for its 4G LTE network as it attempts to maintain a hold on the 4G LTE marketshare here in the U.S. So far, its network is miles ahead of its closest competitor, AT&T, which boasts just over 30 markets here in the U.S.
Verizon's 4G LTE network is available in well over 200 markets and come May 17th, it only stands to get bigger.
The carrier has quite the collection of 4G LTE devices including the Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX, Motorola Droid 4, Motorola Droid RAZR and the LG Lucid. It also has the HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE on the way and quite possibly the Samsung Galaxy S III as well.
Verizon has announced plans to only release 4G LTE smartphones during the course of 2012 which had led many to believe that it will carry a 4G LTE iPhone 5 later on this year as well.

It's not often a living piece of history comes on the market, but that's exactly what's happened with this property in Fitchburg, MA, currently listed for $525,000.
Built in 1883 as a home for local industrialist George Fay, the building became home to the Fay Club in 1910 when Fay's daughter gave it to a local club, then known as the Park Club.
Fay himself had lived in the home only two years before his death. His daughter then lived there until she decided to marry and move to California. The club showed its gratitude for her gift by renaming itself in honor of her father, who had been a founding member.
The private social club remained in operation in the 7,543-square-foot building until it closed in June 2015, citing "rising operational costs and dwindling membership." The club maintained the building in its Gilded Age glory, so all the rooms still sport the magnificent original woodwork and period details such as stained-glass windows, says listing agent Richard Healey, himself a member of the Fay Club.
"It's extremely unusual to see a building like this, where all of the woodwork is intact and all of the stained-glass windows are intact," says Healey. "The property has been maintained but not really changed."
Notables including Ronald Reagan, Rose Kennedy, and Mitt Romney have visited the club, which held daily roundtable luncheons with local business leaders, Healey recalls.
The building was designed by architect Richard Upjohn, who also designed New York City's Trinity Church. The Upjohn connection led to the building being placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, Healey explains.
The top two floors of the building could be converted into residential space, Healey says. The entire building could be transformed into a single-family residence, but the agent's hope is a buyer will see the potential for a bed-and-breakfast or restaurant in the building.
A residential conversion of the entire structure would necessitate installing full bathrooms and a noncommercial kitchen. The structure has only four half-bathrooms at the moment, Healey notes.
A B&B would attract visitors to the local college campus in town, Fitchburg State. Fitchburg is about an hour's drive northwest of Boston.
The building already has a commercial-grade kitchen that the club had used, so a restaurant could easily be established there. According to local legend, there's a secret hiding area in the bar that was used to hide alcohol during Prohibition, Healey adds.
"You couldn't begin to reproduce this or buy this anywhere in any major metro area," Healey says. "It's a gem, a work of art." A work of art Healey hopes a buyer will appreciate and bring back to life as a vital part of Fitchburg's Main Street.

Bodies and carcasses: One can hardly tell them apart in Scott Cooper's Out of the Furnace. Every male character in this brooding mountain noir is a human slab of meat, waiting to get punctured by a bullet or pummeled by a fist. Some are more at peace with this fate than others. Take Woody Harrelson's Appalachian drug kingpin Harlan DeGroat, for example, who, in the opening sequence, beats a man to pulp while taking in a rural drive-in screening of Clive Barker's Midnight Meat Train. Some men are just born devils.
The film's emphasis on wounds and injury isn't just limited to the physical kind, either. Factory worker Russell Baze (Christian Bale) and his Army-vet brother Rodney (Casey Affleck) carry around enough repressed emotional hurt to fill a few Sirkian melodramas. After killing a family in a drunken-driving accident, Russell's sent to prison and left to fester in his own regret. Rodney must deal with his own demons while caring for their father, who is slowly withering away from cancer.
These unfortunate sons are but a microcosm of an America of wounded but functioning souls living in the blue-collar community of North Braddock, Penn., a ragged place where commerce and identity are slowly eroding. The Obama administration is in its early days, and there is a deep sense of uncertainly filling the air. Maybe that's why Out of the Furnace is so enamored of blunt physical tests, displays of male prowess that end in violence. In such a deteriorating landscape, the last will and testament is fear; backing down from a fight is akin to rolling over for all eternity.
But living by the power of your fists is a futile code, one that can only end in tragedy. When Rodney participates in an illegal boxing match up in the closed-off hills where DeGroat is king, we know this will ultimately turn sideways. The "one last fight" retort is something of a bad omen in any genre, and Out of the Furnace does nothing to prove this adage wrong. Rodney may know this already, but he's willing to risk life and limb in order to prove to his brother that he's more than just a beaten-down piece of meat.
From here, Rodney's disappearance sets in motion a conventional revenge narrative that seems to interrupt the more interesting thematic elements at play. Russell becomes obsessed with finding out the truth, often at the cost of logic or common sense. This progression often feels stilted because Out of the Furnace is poorly paced, full of plodding montages that take eons to make simple symbolic connections. Cooper is still finding his way as a storyteller.
Sluggish transitional scenes also hinder a story in dire need of momentum. As a result, many of the intriguing supporting characters, including Forrest Whitaker's dutiful local cop, Zoe Saldana's kind teacher and Sam Shepard's grizzled elder statesman, are largely left on the sidelines, watching Russell endlessly brood and push toward a foregone conclusion that once again involves the piercing of skin by hot metal.
Yet, Out of the Furnace—which opens Friday, Dec. 6—remains a strange bird worthy of our attention. The more compromised aspects only slightly dilute its overall themes of bloodlust and physical erosion, something brilliantly expressed in the performances. After his work with Jeff Bridges in Crazy Heart and now here with Bale, Affleck and Harrelson, Cooper has solidified himself as a performer's director who focuses on frayed men who may unravel at any time.
Through their eyes, Out of the Furnace paints a very grim picture for American masculinity moving forward in the 21st century. While not as cynical as Andrew Dominik's striking Killing Them Softly, Cooper's anti-gangster film is incredibly messy and perpetually haunted, essentially an ethnographic study of killers in their natural habitat. Its argument is simple: We are all walking dead.

LAKE WORTH — City Manager Ken Nipper was given a $7,000 raise and effusive praise Tuesday by his bosses, Lake Worth city commissioners.
``He is a professional,`` Mayor David Hinsa said. ``He is a city manager. He is not a mayor`s manager or a commission`s manager. He`s something we`ve needed for a long time.``
Nipper`s annual salary was boosted to $45,000. That is 18.4 percent more than his previous pay of $38,000.
The commission also voted to change Nipper`s pension plan to a less expensive one, bringing the city`s total cost to about $5,000 a year for Nipper`s salary-pension package.
With his first six months on the job coming to a close on June 2, Nipper had asked for a 27 percent pay increase of $10,321.
``This is too much too soon,`` Commissioner Ron Exline said of the request. Instead, Exline said Nipper should get a $8,220 raise, which would put him $100 a week over the city`s highest-paid employee, Utilities Director Claude L`Engle.
City Commissioner Andy Andrews agreed with Exline`s offer, even though he said he wanted to give Nipper the full $10,321 raise.
But City Commissioners Ed Shepherd and George Harrs came in much lower, offering the same 5 percent raise that most other city employees got.
Andrews and Hinsa told Shepherd and Harrs, both elected after Nipper`s hiring, that Nipper was hired at the bottom of the salary range, with the understanding that he would be given a hefty raise if he proved himself.

Enjoy Laughs and Wisdom From the Seemingly Immortal Keith Richards in the Under the Influence Trailer
The movie comes out September 18, along with his next album.
Keith Richards, one of the O.G. Rolling Stones, is something like unstoppable. The 71-year-old's shown no real signs of slowing down performance-wise, he's said crazy things as of late (e.g., rap is for "tone-deaf people"), and he's even set up to release a very outside-the-box first new solo album in 23 years. That record, Crosseyed Heart, will drop on September 18, along with this Netflix doc from Morgan Neville (Twenty Feet From Stardom). The film, Keith Richards: Under the Influence, promises to chronicle the making of Heart, as well as stretches of Richards's vast, inspired life — the people, places, and sounds that shaped him into the juggernaut he is today.
"If there's a Mount Rushmore of rock 'n' roll, Keith's face is surely on it. He has always represented the soul of rock music — for all of the light and dark shades that implies," Neville has said of the project and its seemingly immortal subject. "To my relief, Keith Richards turned out to be a real man — full of humor, knowledge, and wisdom." Yes, all of that is teased in the trailer. Until next week:

IHTM: I Tried a Skincare Product That Jacked Up My Skin Barrier So Here's How I Handled It
I basically called my mom for help. Except when I say mom, I mean an esthetician.
If you're making beauty resolutions for the new year, start with your skin. It's the one area where prevention really matters. If you avoid damaging it now and treat it with care, your skin will reward you by looking bomb and serving as a great canvas for your makeup forever. There are plenty of worthy resolutions, like switching the tanning bed for a self-tanner, not picking your skin, and finding a sunscreen that works for you, but here are the three that I resolve to keep in 2015.
Feed my skin from the inside.
Lately I've been slipping into a diet that's too heavy on the candy, chips, and cheese and too light on, you know, things that came from the ground. And I can tell by the dullness of my complexion and the increase in breakouts that it's catching up with me. So in 2015, I resolve to eat to feed my skin from the inside out, because eating well makes you feel healthier and look healthier. I'll be working in two servings of produce with every meal, every day.
Patch test. Always patch test.
I should really know better, but every time I get a new skin care product to try, I can't resist tearing into it and applying it right away. In 2015, I'm putting my delayed gratification pants on and taking the time to patch test everything. And I mean everything. Patch testing involves two phases. First, apply a swatch of the product onto a small, out of the way area like the neck, wrist, or décolleté and let it sit for 24 hours to make sure it doesn't cause any immediate allergic reactions. The next step is to apply the product to only one section of the face--I go for one quadrant on my forehead--and keep an eye on that patch for one to two weeks.
Oh, and a third key element of patch testing is that you can only introduce one new product into your routine at a time. Otherwise you won't be able to pinpoint which product is causing a reaction. May we all be blessed with patience this year, you feel?
Get diligent about double cleansing.
I can be really lazy about my nighttime routine. While I always do at least a quick cleanse, I wonder if all that makeup and water-resistant sunscreen is getting fully removed. Truthfully, judging by the leftover mascara smudges I'm always waking up with, I know it isn't. Enter double cleansing. I start by massaging an oil (for me, hemp seed) into dry skin to remove makeup and sunscreen. Then I follow up with a water-based cleanser (my trusty Fresh Soy Face Cleanser) to make sure the oil is fully removed and the skin underneath is totally cleansed before I apply my nighttime treatments.

Michael Jackson named top earning dead celebrityOctober 27th, 2010 - 1:49 pm ICT by IANS
London, Oct 27 (IANS) Late pop legend Michael Jackson has topped a list of the highest-earning deceased celebrities after making more money in the past year than 12 other dead stars combined, including Elvis Presley and John Lennon.

AT&T Building Most Advanced Mobile Broadband Experience in Nashville Market, Announces 2011 Network Upgrade Plans and Wi-Fi Rollout at Bridgestone Arena
AT&T to Expand Backhaul in 2011 in the Nashville area to Enable 4G Speeds, Increase Mobile Broadband Capacity, Upgrade Hundreds of Cell Sites
Mar 29, 2011, 03:30 ET
NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T*, building on its strong 2010 record of network accomplishments, today announced network improvement plans designed to enable 4G speeds** and enhanced reliability to Nashville and surrounding communities in 2011. The wireless network enhancement plans are part of AT&T's planned $19-billion investment in its wireless and wireline networks and other capital projects in 2011.
Gregg Morton, AT&T Tennessee state president, says AT&T plans the following network improvements in the Nashville area in 2011:
- Deploying upgraded backhaul connections to more than 200 cell sites. Combined with HSPA+ technology, these backhaul deployments enable 4G speeds.
- Upgrading 70 new cell sites for mobile broadband.
- Installing Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) in high-traffic areas and facilities, including The Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville. The distributed antenna system provides improved wireless coverage for customers in indoor or outdoor spaces where geographical limitations might otherwise prevent an optimal wireless experience.
- Delivering additional mobile broadband capacity to 241 cell sites in the area through the addition of new layers of frequency, also known as "carriers." Adding extra capacity to a cell site is like widening a highway - you're creating more lanes to accommodate increasing traffic.
- Activating 20 new cell sites to improve network coverage and reliability.
"Our story is getting even better for Nashville and surrounding communities," said Gregg Morton, AT&T state president. "Our recently announced agreement to acquire T-Mobile USA represents a great deal for customers and a major commitment to strengthen and expand our network. In fact, this deal, if approved, means that we'll be able to expand the next generation of mobile broadband – 4G LTE – from our current plan of 80 percent of the U.S. population to 95 percent."
Morton said the T-Mobile acquisition provides a fast, efficient and certain solution to the impending wireless spectrum exhaust situation facing both companies while adding cell towers. Additional towers mean additional capacity which means fewer dropped calls. "We'll be able to provide better voice quality and data performance to our customers," said Morton.
"Today's announcement from AT&T shows yet again that Nashville is a city on the rise, where businesses invest and grow," said Karl Dean, Mayor of Nashville. "Investment like this helps continue to grow our economy and create jobs. AT&T has invested heavily in Nashville, both in their mobile network expansion and through their IPTV service, U-verse. These investments help create and keep jobs in the Nashville area, which is good news for our city."
Morton said AT&T invested more than $550 million in its Nashville and surrounding communities wireless and wireline network from 2008 through 2010 as part of its commitment to superior service in the area:
In 2010, AT&T:
- Activated eight new cell sites.
- Added extra mobile broadband capacity to more than 104 cell sites.
- Upgraded 67 cell sites for mobile broadband.
- Added 106 additional layers to 104 cell sites to expand network capacity and improve in-building coverage.
"This is great news for the Nashville area," said Beth Harwell, Speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives. "AT&T's investment of over $550 million in our area alone shows that our state is on the right track for economic development and growth, and most importantly job creation. Nashvillians will benefit from better service and more access to the information they need wherever they are."
The investments made in the Nashville area wireless and wireline networks are part of the nearly $1.2 billion AT&T invested from 2008-2010 across Tennessee, Morton said.
The Bridgestone Arena is home to the Nashville Predators. Additionally, it is designed to accommodate a wide variety of other events including basketball games, concerts, circuses, wrestling, concerts, boxing matches and ice shows.
"This new relationship with Fortune 500 Company AT&T means Bridgestone Arena guests can better communicate using their smart phones on game or event days," said Nashville Predators Chief Executive Officer Jeff Cogen. "This significant network upgrade is especially important to attracting both locals and visitors to Bridgestone Arena, while helping the city of Nashville, the Preds and Arena stay connected."
With this activation, AT&T has enhanced the amount of wireless voice and data traffic that the network is able to handle at large capacity gatherings, where demand on the network is at its peak. To make this enhancement, AT&T installed network equipment on a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) to manage available spectrum and increase mobile broadband capacity inside Bridgestone Arena.
"AT&T's investment in Nashville, and in Tennessee overall shows that our state is moving in the right direction when it comes to growth and jobs," said Lieutenant Governor Ron Ramsey. "By investing in their networks, AT&T is also investing in Tennessee, and we are glad to see the results of these investments through better service and more productivity for all Tennesseans. $1.2 billion is a lot of money, and across Tennessee it has a direct impact on jobs and economic development for our state."
The nation's fastest mobile broadband network is getting faster with 4G. A key planned upgrade for 2011 is deployment of enhanced backhaul connections to more than 255 cell sites in the Nashville area to enable 4G speeds. Backhaul connections carry traffic between cell sites and AT&T's nationwide network. Enhanced fiber-optic and ethernet backhaul connections expand capacity many times over, and enable additional expansion in the years to come.
"We're investing in our Nashville area network to help AT&T customers take advantage of the numerous capabilities of their wireless devices," Morton said. "This year, we're committed to providing best-in-class wireless voice service to our customers, and we're backing that up with the right investments. This type of investment would not be possible without the leadership of elected officials like Speaker Harwell and Lieutenant Governor Ron Ramsey. Thanks to their leadership in creating an environment that spurs business investment and economic growth, we are able to make announcements like these today."
AT&T's advanced network provides several important advantages for customers. Unlike some competitors' CDMA network, AT&T's mobile-broadband network provides customers with the ability to talk and surf at the same time. For instance, you can look up directions to an event while staying on the phone with your boss, or browse your favorite social media sites while chatting with a friend. AT&T's mobile broadband network also is up to 35 percent faster than our largest competitor's CDMA-based network on average nationally.
AT&T also provides access to voice service in more than 220 countries and data service in more than 200 countries. AT&T's largest competitor's CDMA-based devices work in fewer than 45 countries. Business Traveler magazine recently named AT&T as having the "Best Mobile Coverage in the World" – the fourth time AT&T has received the distinction.
"AT&T is consistently among the top companies in the U.S. in terms of our capital investment and we're committed to helping our customers right here in Nashville take advantage of the numerous capabilities of their wireless devices," said Jim Thorpe, vice president and general manager, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets for Tennessee and Kentucky.
Ralph Schulz, president and CEO of the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, said AT&T's plans to significantly invest to improve its network will further bolster Nashville's reputation as a great place to live and work. "High-tech expansions like this one help our business community, our local economy and our overall quality of life," Schulz said.
AT&T's focus is delivering the nation's most advanced mobile broadband experience, which includes delivering the benefits of mobile broadband networks, devices and applications. With the nation's fastest mobile broadband network, AT&T provides accelerated mobile data speeds and simultaneous voice and data capabilities for an amazing wireless voice and data experience. At the same time, AT&T offers a wide-ranging portfolio of smartphones and devices, with 20 4G devices planned for 2011, including a robust Android lineup. And we're driving development of wide-ranging mobile applications with three AT&T Foundry collaborative innovation centers planned for this year, as well as leadership in multiple initiatives to provide new tools for apps developers.
AT&T's mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most widely used wireless network platforms in the world.
AT&T also operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network*** with more than 24,000 hotspots in the U.S. and access to more than 135,000 hotspots globally through roaming agreements. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly data plans.

Sean Paul Ryan Francis Henriques (born January 9, 1973) is a Grammy Award-winning Jamaican reggae and dancehall artist. He is professionally known as Sean Paul.
Early lifeEdit
Sean Paul Ryan Francis Henriques was born in Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, and spent his early years "comfortably" in Upper Saint Andrew Parish, a few miles north of his birthplace. Most people who knew Sean when he was a boy probably thought that he would end up as a responsible and respectable member of the island's middle classes. His part Chinese mother, Frances, was a well known artist. His father, Garth, of Portuguese origin, had a slightly more notorious background as he was rumoured to be descended from a gang of horse rustlers. Because of his exotic ethnicity, Sean was known to the neighbors as the "Copper Soldier Chinee Boy". He was educated at Wolmers High School, and later at the exclusive Bell Air High School in Mandervil, an establishment responsible for the training of several movers and shakers in Jamaica's political and business elite.
Sean's musical abilities made themselves apparent at a very early age. When he was about 4 years old, he was at a barbecue and became separated from his parents. He started crying but to the amazement of the other guests he was bawning away in the same key as the background music. It seemed that the boy had perfect pitch. He didn't throw himself single-mindedly into music, however. He was an athletic child and a particularly strong swimmer, excelling at water polo.
In Jamaica nobody could escape the rhythms of reggae, and Sean was surrounded by the sounds of legends such as Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. He was not, however, a reggae purist. One of his favourite songs when he was growing up was "Another One Bites The Dust" by the British rock band Queen. The first album that Sean bought for himself was the soundtrack to the hip-hop movie "Beat Street", featuring numbers by Afrika Bambaataa and Melle Mel. He purchased this seminal record with money received from his 12th birthday. There is a Jamaican tradition called "bumming" which involves birthday boys getting their behinds kicked. So, to avoid a bruised butt, Sean hid on the roof of his parents' house and played the ground-breaking New York hip-hop rhythms over and over.
Sean was a popular, well rounded child. He had a fairly happy home life, although this was tested at the age of 13. His father was jailed for possession of marijuana, and young Sean became depressed. However, he found positive ways to deal with the situation. His father had always encouraged his sporting efforts and Sean became increasingly obsessed with swimming, eventually joining the Jamaican water polo team. He also represented his country at swimming in the CARIFTA Games in 1989 and 1991 and he still had his music to help him through the difficult years. He took a few piano lessons when he was 14 years old but quickly reacted against the petty rules, like having to sit up straight. His mother then bought him a little Casio keyboard for $30 at a flea market. Sean's keyboard included a small drum machine, and he relaxed by constructing new rhythms (or riddims as they were usually called).
Early jobs Edit
At this stage Sean enjoyed music but didn't take it seriously as a potential career. His first dream was to be an architect, but his school grades weren't good enough. Also failing to win a college place to study marketing, Sean found himself working in a bank for a short while. "I was counting money," he recalled, "It was not my own. I did not like it." He took a course in hotel management at the College of Arts, Science and Technology on Kingston's Hope Road, opting for tough training in the kitchens and learning to cook a five course meal.
He was creating new rythms with his Casio keyboard and writing songs around them. Although he still loved the classic reggae of Bob Marley and American soul singers, it was more than modern dancehall style that provided much of his inspiration, together with lashings of American hip-hop. Sean, who had dropped his surname in favour of the snappier Sean Paul, was getting a little recognition as a songwriter. He really wanted success as a performer and his focus was on the intence sound of dancehall, rather than reggae. As Sean put it himself: "Dancehall was really the right avenue for me to get people to hear me out above how I saw the world."
Early career Edit
Demos that Sean had recorded were creating a buzz around Kingston. His willingness to perform at the smallest dancehall barbecue also pinpointed him as someone with the drive and perseverance to succeed in the business. Sean's lucky break came from the deejay Spanner Banner, whose calloboration with Sean Paul was entitled "Ladies Man", which was released on Spanner's label Sweet Angel Productions, topped the Jamaican charts and brought Sean to the attention of the mainstream record buying public. The producer of "Ladies Man" was Jeremy Harding, and he spotted the potential of the junior member of the duo. In 1997, Harding released Sean Paul's first solo single, "Baby Girl (Don't Cry)", swiftly followed by the pumping, infectous numbers "Infiltrate", and "Hackle Me". One of his most important gigs was the opening for rap star Busta Rhymes, when he came to Jamaica in 1997. It was a meeting that was to have an important impact on Sean's career later on. In a matter of a few months, the Jamaican music scene was a wash with the dancehall sound of Sean Paul. Throughout 1997 and 1998 the hits continued to pile up: "Woman Ya Hot", "Work With It" and "Report To Me" seemed to dominate the airwaves. Sean recorded "Nag Get No Bligh (One More Try)" with producer Donovan Jermaine, and "Excite Me" and "Deport Them" with Tony Kelly. The last track, a reworking of the Bookshelf Riddim, provided one of the earliest examples of Sean's characteristic call, "Dutty Yo", a reference to the loose grouping of artists that would help to take Sean Paul's music to the next level, known as the "Dutty Cup Crew".
The Dutty Cup Crew Edit
Sean had had an unpleasant experience on the Carribean island of Grenada, where a local singer tried to humiliate him live on stage. So Sean decided to join the Dutty Cup Crew through psychological, political and musical needs. His old friend and mentor Don Yute was linked to the group, and Sean found firm friends and worthy collaborators in his fellow crw members Mossy Kid, Looga Man, Daddigon, Chicken, and Kid Kurup. Together, the Dutty Cup Crew recorded the singles "Groove Me" and "Jamone", both of which became underground hits in the New York clubs, especially in the Carribean immigrant communities. It was Sean's first taste of stateside success. The Dutty Cup Crew occasionally performed as a unit and helped out on each other's solo productions. Sean: "We all do our own thing, the rest of the family don't want to put out as much stuff, so they just do it whenever they feel." Sean's next big step was to re-work his old hit "Ladies Man" using the riddim known as "Underwater". The version that really gained him attention was a megamix, plus a companeing promotional video, featuring dancehall stars such as Bucaneer, General Degree, Buju Banton and Beenie Man.
Breakthrough into America & Stage One Edit
Sean embarked on a series of gigs that covered Europe, Japan, and most importantly, North America, to raise his profile as an individual performer. It was in the States that Sean came to the attention of Hype Williams, a directop of hip-hop promo videos. Williams was making his first feature film, "Belly", an urban thriller starring the rappers DMX and Nas, and featuring T-Boz from TLC and Method Man of the Wu-Tang Clan. DMX was also providing much of the music, and he teamed up with Sean and fellow deejay Mr. Vegas on the track "Top Shotter". The collaboration with Mr. Vegas continued when Sean eventually returned to Jamaica. They came out with the track "Haffi Get De Gal Ya", better known as "Hot Gal Today" in which Mr. Vegas provided a contrast to Sean's gruffa voice over the Street Sweeper Riddim. Not only was the track a hit in Jamaica as expected, it also did well in the United States, especially in New York and Miami. What looked like bcoming a potentially profitable partnership fell to pieces when Sean and Vegas had a bitter public argument over the packaging of the single. Not content with his own recording and performing, he also had the time to set up his own company, Baseline Records, through which he could scout for talent on the dancehall scene and hone his own production skills.
In 2000, the Jamaican label VP Records released his debut album, "Stage One". The album showed something of Sean's range, mixing up solo hits like "Infiltrate" and "No Bligh", with collaborations such as "Hot Gal Today" as well as "Sound The Alarm" and "You Must Lose" on which he worked with his Dutty Cup buddy Looga Man. "Stage One" wasn't a calculated crafted blockbuster, it was a hurried compilation that demonstrated what Sean had accomplished since his debut four years before.
