As a TV blogger and celebrity reporter with her finger on the pulse of the entertainment world, Ava Christensen figures she's a shoo-in as cohost at Entertainment News Now. Wrong. The reason?
Jake Durham.
To add insult to injury, Ava has to spend a week with her Judas of a boss at the industry's A-list film festival. All right, so maybe she used to think the hotshot executive producer was a hunk, but that was before he passed her over for promotion. These days, Ava isn't ready to believe there's a tender, caring side to the guy. But Jake's surprising her in more ways than one, making Ava wonder what she really wants. Her dream job...or possibly her dream guy?

Jennifer McKenzie lives in Vancouver, Canada where she enjoys being able to ski and surf in the same day—not that she ever does either of those things. After years of working as a communications professional and spending her days writing for everyone else, she traded in the world of water coolers, cubicles and high heels to write for herself and wear pajamas all day.Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission.

Jake Durham was evil.
Okay, so fine. It was Monday morning and Ava Christensen was never at her best until it was past noon and she'd had at least three cups of coffee, but she needed neither caffeine nor sleep to know the truth about the man sitting behind the big fancy desk.
"I hope you understand this was a difficult decision to make."
Ava just stared at him. Jake Durham, Entertainment News Now executive producer. Aka: Evil Incarnate. Alias: Beelzebub. Pseudonym: Norman Bates. Seriously, she must have been blind to ever think he was even sorta, kinda, maybe hot.
Well, even the most brilliant reporters made the occasional mistake. And it had only taken her a month to uncover the truth. Probably wouldn't have even taken her that long had she not been on a six-month dry spell. She needed to get out more.
She swallowed and tried not to think about how, even as he was callously and carelessly crushing her dream, she could still find him attractive. "Who is getting the position?"
The position. Said so casually, so free of emotion, as if it was no big deal. Ava swallowed again, wishing she had a coffee to wash away the bitterness coating her mouth. Why hadn't she poured herself a mug before attending this morning's meeting?
And why had she told her mother that she was a shoo-in to be the next cohost at Entertainment News Now?
"Tommy." Jake studied her closely. Too closely.
"Tommy?" The little tug of recognition that always twisted her stomach when he looked at her like that was overridden by a sudden roiling. Her fingers curled around the arms of the cheap plastic chair she was sitting in. "Tommy Langtry?"
"No." He couldn't be serious. Could he? But there was no sign of humor in his dark gray eyes.
But Tommy? It didn't make sense. While she'd been a regular reporter on the show for the past three years, Tommy had only been around six months. He wasn't even a regular reporter, but more of a correspondent who was lucky to get a piece to air every couple of weeks. And he'd only gotten the job because his uncle was Harvey Langtry, the station owner.
Her blog on the station's website was incredibly popular. It not only satisfied the appetite for celebrity gossip that couldn't be covered in a thirty-minute program, but it also drove viewers to the show with teasers and tidbits about on-air exclusives. And she was the replacement host when the regulars were sick or on vacation. To date, Tommy's greatest achievements were stuffing Mentos and Coke into his mouth until they exploded in a gush of foam and convincing his uncle to host a holiday party with a top-shelf open bar.
Even for someone who'd been around for only a month, like Mr. Big-Shot Executive Producer, giving her the job was a no-brainer. "You think he's ready?"
Jake clasped his hands on the desk. Long strong hands that Ava had no business remembering the feel of. "We felt he brought something extra to the show. Something that had been missing."
Something that she'd been missing? Her spine stiffened. Garbage. Unless they were planning on adding a stupid-human-trick segment to the show that she hadn't heard about, there was nothing in Tommy's repertoire that she didn't do better.
"And we liked the dynamic between him and Danica."
Jake's voice softened. "We like you a lot, but we just didn't feel you were the right choice in this situation."
"Oh." To her horror, Ava felt tears prickle behind her eyes. Great. Just great. She blinked rapidly, pretending a speck of dust had lodged in there until she got herself under control. But she knew it was a temporary reprieve. She needed to get out of here before the tears returned and a weepfest ensued. Talk about unprofessional. She started to rise. "Well, thank you for telling me in person."
At least he'd had the courtesy to let her know before the news swept through the station at warp speed. But it was a small consolation when it felt as if he was grinding her career to dust beneath his heel.
"A minute." Jake waved for her to sit back down. Ava was torn between ingrained good manners and the need to get out of there before the tears began rolling down her cheeks. "I'm sure that you're disappointed," Jake said, "but I trust that you understand it was a difficult choice."
Yeah. Or not, considering Tommy was related to the station owner. Yay for nepotism. She clutched the arms of the old chair harder. "Of course."
She hated the warble in her voice. God. She was a trained media professional. She should be able to speak without sounding like a fan meeting one of the Twilight kids. For the record, she had and her voice hadn't warbled a bit.
Jake leaned forward. "You were a strong candidate."
Instead of consoling her, the assurance made her feel worse. The prickle behind her eyes became a full-fledged ache. No. The chair arms were going to leave lines in her palm. She didn't care if the hard material sliced right through her skin. She was not going to cry. Not here. Not now. Not in front of him.
"An extremely strong candidate." Jake glanced around his desk and came up with a crumpled napkin from Starbucks.
Ava looked at it, but didn't take it. She didn't want to accept anything from him except his heartfelt apology when he realized what a mess he'd made of things. And he would realize it. She'd make sure of it.
He looked at the napkin when he realized she wasn't going to take it and then slowly folded it into his palm before sinking back into his chair. "You probably just need some time to take it all in."
Anger surged forward, hot and fierce. Some time? As if a good night's sleep or a pint of ice cream was going to make up for losing out on her dream job? Not likely. But she forced her expression to remain neutral, a trick she'd learned during her years of dealing with spoiled celebrities and their publicists. "I'm fine." Because turning into a female version of the Incredible Hulk and upending his desk wouldn't solve her problems. Even if it would feel good. "If there's nothing else, I should get back to work."
Jake balled up the napkin and tossed it in the wastebasket beside his desk. "If you have any further questions, I'll be happy to discuss them with you."
She even managed a cool smile, though it just about killed her. Phhht. As if she'd ever discuss anything with him. "I appreciate that."
"Glad to hear it." He smiled back.
She felt it like a punch to the gut.
It was all Jilly's fault. Ava stormed down the hallway toward her best friend's office, the heels of her glorious black shoes clacking like bullets. She never should have gone to that stupid anti-Valentine's Day party Jilly had organized two weeks ago, never should have flirted with Jake Durham while she was there, never should have almost kissed him.
Thank God she'd come to her senses before anything had happened. Heat rose to her cheeks at the memory. The way his hand had rested on her shoulder when they'd gotten shoved together in the corner of the booth, how his breath had tickled the nape of her neck, the feel of his body as he turned in to her. She so needed to get out of here.
She bypassed the door to her own office without glancing at it. So much for that pretty nameplate she'd been hoping to have made. The one that would read Ava Christensen, Co-host, in gold lettering.
But when she arrived at Jilly's office—Jilly insisted everyone at the station call it an office even though as the studio's makeup artist, her space held no desk and was twice as large as any real office in the building—Ava found the door closed. An unanswered knock confirmed that no one was inside.
Well, she wasn't hanging around until Jilly finally turned up, which probably wouldn't be until noon anyway. This was a time for action. Mostly because Ava was afraid if she waited, she'd lose what little composure she still had and would end up saying something she'd regret. Something like, "Jake Durham is a rat bastard and I can't wait until his three-month contract is over and we can get a real producer in here." She didn't even want to consider what her mother would say about that.
She stomped back down the hall. Not only would her mother kill her, but there was a strong possibility that at the end of Jake's contract, Harvey would offer him a long-term permanent placement. And then she'd be stuck forever with a boss she'd called a rat bastard.
She stopped at her non-gold nameplated office only long enough to grab her coat, bag and umbrella—it was late February in Vancouver, which meant cool temperatures and a high likelihood of rain—and left the building. Before she'd even made it partway down the block, she had her BlackBerry out, fingers flying over the tiny keyboard.
Are you up yet, Jilly? Emergency. Meet me for coffee. Now. FYI: This is a Red Alert.
Jilly's response was almost instantaneous.
Did you get it? Of course you got it. Eeeeee! Did you kiss McHot Stuff when he told you? (You know you want to.)
No and no. Devastation being held off momentarily. See you at Bucky's in ten.
"You have got to be kidding." Jilly's face held just the right mix of surprise and disgust. She was a true friend. "Tommy? He picked Tommy?" She huffed in indignation. "Well, one thing is clear. McHot Stuff is a McHot Ass."
"And he's no longer McHot Stuff. He is cut off." Ava sliced a hand through the air. "Plus, he's not really cute." Which was totally true. She'd never thought Jake was cute. He was too dark and rugged to be called cute. And dark and rugged was so not her type.
"Not smart, either," Jilly said. Her hair, currently dyed a bright red that was probably called Spicy Ginger or Fiery Sunset, flashed as she shook her head. "I don't understand it. You're perfect for the job. What has Tommy ever done?"
"You mean besides be born into the Langtry family?" Ava shrugged and took a sip of her latte. "What else did he need?"
Starbucks was warm and steamy with the scent of roasted beans in the air. People were scattered around the room, lounging on chaises and chairs, their chatter blending with the sound of the grinder behind the counter. Jilly had managed to nab a pair of squashy leather chairs in the corner, which was normally Ava's favorite spot, but today she just couldn't feel grateful.
She put the latte down since it was only spreading the bitterness around her mouth. Nothing like the comfort she'd imagined it would be in Jake's office. "You know what really kills me? He didn't even give me a good explanation. Just said that it was a difficult decision and that they thought Tommy brought a new dynamic to the show. Guess they never clued in to the fact that Danica can't stand him."
"Well, to be fair, Danica doesn't really like anyone."
"True." To say Danica was icy was crediting her with warmth that Ava had never seen the tall blonde show. She let her head fall back against the soft chair. The scent of leather blended with the aroma of coffee. She didn't care who Danica liked or didn't like. Not right now. "I flirted with him," she said, closing her eyes. "At that anti-Valentine's Day party. I flirted with him." And almost kissed him.
"Well, he was still McHot Stuff then."
Ava opened her eyes but didn't lift her head. "I flirted with him and I didn't even get the job."
Jilly lifted an eyebrow. "Is that why you flirted with him?"
"Of course not." Ava sat up straight. "But I just feel foolish now."
"Because you flirted with an attractive man."
"I told you." Ava waved her hand again. "He is cut off." Snip. "Like my chance of ever being cohost." Her insides twisted at the words. She picked up her cup again but didn't drink from it. She was too depressed.
"Don't say that." Jilly's green eyes were bright with loyalty. "You'll get it next time. You're too good not to be a host."
Ava stared down at the foamy drink. "What if there is no next time?"
It wasn't something she wanted to think about, but she had to consider what it meant for her if Tommy and Danica made such a great team that they hosted the show for the next thirty years. She'd die if that happened. Die without ever being more than a stand-in.
"That won't happen."
"It could." She wasn't that young anymore. Oh, sure, she still felt about the same age as the girls on MTV's Teen Mom, but her driver's license told another story. She, unlike Tommy, was over thirty, and this chance might not come along again until she was considered too old for the job. Her stomach twisted painfully and she took a sip of her latte to try to soothe it. It didn't help.
"It won't happen," Jilly repeated, her hair flickering like an aggravated flame in the watery light that came in through the window. "If you don't get to host here, then you'll get scooped up by some other station that recognizes your greatness."
"Really?" Ava knew she sounded pathetic, but if a person couldn't sound pathetic in front of her best friend after finding out she'd just been denied the promotion of her dreams, then when could she?
"Absolutely." Jilly's tone brooked no argument, which was good because Ava didn't think she had the energy for it. "And now, your day can only get better, right?" That was Jilly, always looking on the bright side.
"I hope so."
"I know so. Drink your latte."
Ava picked up her drink without sipping. "What am I going to tell my mother?" Normally, she wouldn't have even mentioned that she was applying for a promotion. But she'd been so confident, she hadn't been able to keep the news to herself.
Now she was going to have to listen to that brief pause of disappointment before her mother made a few appropriate noises of concern, which would just be a mask before she could ask how Ava might have done things differently. She'd probably want her to make a list, too.
The very idea made Ava's bones ache with exhaustion. Maybe tonight was too soon. She could call her mother tomorrow instead.
"Maybe she'll forget?"
Ava shot her friend a look.
Jilly sighed. "You're right. Just get it over with quickly and then change the subject." She handed over the chocolate croissant she'd been eating. "Here. You need this more than me."
Ava bit off a huge chunk of the delicate pastry, refusing to even consider the calories. They didn't count today. Everyone knew that when you were depressed, chocolate was a mood lifter and the fat found its way out of your body without making a pit stop on your hips.
The croissant was still warm, the chocolate melting before it even hit her tongue. She reveled in the sweetness for a moment, wanting to lick the chocolate from her fingers, but wiped them on a napkin instead. "I'm so glad to be leaving town on Friday. Rockdale could not have come at a better time."

In the latest in an occasional series of matching whisky with food, Dave Broom compares and contrasts some sushi-whisky combinations
Scene I
An almighty shout had stopped us in our tracks. None of the diners seemed at all fazed by the entire staff of the restaurant stopping work to bellow at a group of people walking through the door.
As we were to find out, this was perfectly normal behaviour at Nobu. Everyone is greeted like this, though since there were 20 or more in our party straggling through the door the shouting continued for longer than usual.
We were at this, one of Tokyo's most chi-chi establishments, to conduct Whisky Magazine's inaugural whisky and sushi tasting.
Eight different sushi would be paired with eight different whiskies (see box).
These exercises are always fun, occasionally they're even illuminating, but the result of any panel tasting is a consensus which normally gives broad guidelines and little more. Here, the approval ratings were unusually high, inferring that something deeper was going on.
Only two matches were felt to be poor: the cask-strength Wild Turkey was too strong for the squid while the Glenlivet 12 year old fought a valiant, but losing, battle against the sea urchin – though the low mark reflected most of the (predominantly Scottish) panellists aversion to the intensely flavoured echinoderm.
Talisker won the day, but that was a foregone conclusion. Skye's malt and oysters is a match made in heaven. That Arran went well with salmon wasn't too surprising either, this is a classic Scottish combo.
What was more intriguing was how the Yamazaki matched the salty ...

Besides the traditional support of a national consumer campaign, the new product is trying to reach consumers on a more individual basis-Crest Pro-Health is not just for the consumer who wants fresh breath but, for example, for the diabetic consumer who wants fresh breath.
P&G brands like Pringles, which at this point is printing messages on individual chips, have become adept at customization, but even with Crest, "we're moving from mass marketing to targeted and more customization," says Jocelyn Wong, 30, brand manager-North American oral rinses.
"There is definitely a swing to more targeted marketing, even ending up potentially in true customization," says Ms. Wong, who has college degrees not in marketing, but in chemical engineering and biochemistry from Purdue University. She says that P&G has gotten better at knowing and reaching its consumer. In mouthwashes, for example, P&G's Scope is considered more "experiential"-the whole kissable fresh breath thing-while the new Crest rinse takes a health-oriented approach.
While Crest has touted beauty in recent years, with products such as Whitestrips, Pro-Health is "very health-focused," says Ms. Wong. "So even within just the rinse portfolio we're using the consumer knowledge, and our scale gets very targeted and differentiated between those brands."
Rinses are the second-largest oral segment, Ms. Wong says, and it's "a pretty big deal for Crest to come over. We have completed the whole Crest portfolio. Now Crest plays in every oral-care category."
While a new product requires mass marketing-in this case from Publicis Groupe's Saatchi & Saatchi, New York-targeted efforts are also important. For Crest Pro-Health, that will include "permission marketing" in which samples are offered to patients in endocrinologists' offices because the rinse is alcohol-free, an attribute beneficial to diabetics. Pro-Health made its professional debut to dentists in January.
Another unusual element for the launch of Crest's first mouthwash is a direct-response TV campaign, via Red, Cincinnati. "We recognize the need to educate our consumer" about the rinse, Ms. Wong says, and "that's what our consumer is interested in-more education."
This combination of mass and targeted marketing is a good example of where P&G is going, Ms. Wong says.
"The challenge for marketers in the future," she says, "is how do we balance equity in the core emotional relationship we have with our consumer with the need to customize. They can be very contradictory roles, but they don't have to be."

Writing: Creating an instructional booklet to reinforce learning
Lesson 6 of 8
Objective: SWBAT write an explanatory text examining the complex ideas of Harvard's six habits of reading by creating an instructional booklet.
Warm Up
As students enter, they open their notebook and begin today's warm up:
Think about how you learn new information. Once you do learn something new, how do you retain it? For three minutes, write about how you retain new information.
Students write for three minutes (W.9-10.10) and then we discuss for two minutes.
I'm introducing students to a knew way to study and retain information so I want students to begin thinking about this topic.
I will tell students,
We have worked hard on the 6 Habits of Reading. I want you to have a review booklet you can keep in your binder and refer to throughout the semester. Today you are going to create this review publication. Your publication can take whatever form you would like. You can simply create a booklet and put one habit on each page, or you can be more creative as long as you organize the information to make important connections between them (W.9-10.2, W.9-10.2a). You need to review the 6 Habit handout, read each section and select the relevant details and extended definitions (W.9-10.2b) so that the review publication works for you.
This Review book strategy video explains what I show students as a simple way to create a review strategy book.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Student Work Time
While students are working, I will walk around to assure they are including all relevant details. This creative example of review material is a review publication that one of my students created.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
During the last ten minutes of class, I will tell students to choose a partner. I will tell them,
You've worked hard on your review publication. Please take a few moments and teach your book to a partner. In other words, explain your publication. Explain why you chose the details you did. (SL.9-10.1)

When an FDA advisory panel met last month to vote on whether to recommend approval of Sanofi's MS drug Lemtrada, patient opinion leaders had already voiced their view. A small majority told researchers they actively support approval of the risky drug.
The voice-response study was fielded by the firm Truvio among members of the Wego Health online community, comprised of "health activists," consumer KOLs steeped in the needs of their communities.
Participants were asked to answer the following question, in their own words: "Imagine that you were able to attend next week's FDA advisory committee to represent the perspective of the multiple sclerosis patient community. What might you say to the panel? Would you advise them to approve this drug, or vote against it—and why? What, if anything, would you want to make sure the panel takes into consideration when making their decision?"
Within 24 hours of the questions being deployed on the Truvio platform, quantitative and qualitative responses were received from the 33 respondents. The upshot: A slim majority of patients in the Truvio study showed a willingness to accept the risk—15 respondents voted for approval, 13 against, and five unsure.
The 45% who favored approval cited patients' rights to make decisions with their doctors.
Among them were users of other MS treatments. Among the 39% (13) of patient leaders recommending a "no" vote, most said "not now" vs. an outright denial.
Those who were undecided focused on better research—and the need for extensive physician training in risk management.

The Best Ski Resort In The World?
It seems that the start to the 2012-13 season has been one of the busiest in a long time, with demand over the Christmas and New Year weeks pushing the most popular resorts to capacity.
This got me thinking about what makes these resorts more popular, what keeps many people coming back year after year instead of exploring other lesser know resorts?
It's a fairly emotive and subjective thing to decide which is 'the best ski resort'. I'm sure we all have our opinions on the matter, and it'll be shaped by various criteria – where you enjoyed the most (which possibly could have more to do with the après than the actual riding), what the snow conditions were like when you were there (one of my favourites is a tiny resort simply because when I was there it was a powder heaven which no one else in resort seemed to want to disturb!) and for others it seems to be purely based on reputation.
After trawling the internet it was easy to find numerous lists of the top 10 resorts and funnily enough – none of them quite agree!
Obviously certain resorts seem to pop up on more than one list which should be an indication that it is pretty good.
What also stands out is that there is possibly a bias (maybe subconsciously by the author, maybe targeted towards the expected audience) towards a certain type of resort.
So, we though we'd bring you a selection of these lists (who honestly doesn't like a good list) and we invite your feedback on resorts that may have been overlooked, or your own top 10 resorts. So, here goes…..
First up is the Top 10 Resorts in Europe taken from the website Sno.co.uk
1. Meribel
2. Morzine
3. Chamonix
4. Verbier
5. Val D'Isere
6. La Plagne
7. Kitzbuhel
8. Courchevel
9. Zermatt
10. St Anton
Same criteria, this time from the Outside Online website
- Chamonix
- La Grave
- St Anton
- Kitzbuhel
- Verbier
- Murren
- Zermatt
- Bernese Oberland
- Alagna
- Andermatt
Looking at it perhaps from a different perspective (and expanding it to the whole world, although I think with a little bit of an American bias!) is National Geographic
- Girdwood, Alaska
- Fernie, BC
- Zermatt
- Bozeman, Montana
- Chamonix
- Cortina D'Ampezzo
- Whitefish, Montana
- Crested Butte, Colorado
- Aspen, Colorado
- Niseko, Japan
- Interlaken
- Zermatt
- Chamonix
- Lapland
- Zell Am See
- Garmisch-Partenkirchen
- Kitzbuhel
- St Moritz
- Courchevel
- Val D'Isere
- Avoriaz (because we're not completely impartial and wanted to show where it came in!)
So there's a selection purely based on people's over all opinions and one thing that stands out on most of those lists is that they are generally big, popular and well known resorts.
But what about the smaller resorts?
The Guardian compiled a list of 'The Top 10 Cheap Ski Resorts in the Shadow of Giants'
- Soll
- Montgenevre
- La Tzoumaz
- Avajan
- St Martin De Belleville
- Hochfugen
- Les Houches
- Andermatt
- Jay Peak (USA)
- Ogden (USA)
You might have to do a bit of research to locate one or two of those!
Finally, back to Tripadvisor, who put together two lists using various criteria (cost of accommodation, cost of a lift pass, ski hire, a meal and a beer) to create the top 10 best value and most expensive resorts in Europe.
Top 10 most expensive European ski resorts according to Tripadvisor
1. Meribel, France
2. Courchevel, France
3. St. Moritz, Switzerland
4. Verbier, Switzerland
5. Gstaad, Switzerland
6. Zermatt, Switzerland
7. Klosters, Switzerland
8. Ischgl, Austria
9. Val D'Isere, France
10. St. Anton, Austria
I guess a list dominated by the resorts you might have expected!
But for the best value resorts as below, you might be surprised by a few of them….
Top 10 best value European ski resorts according to Tripadvisor
1. Mt Etna, Italy
2. Bansko, Bulgaria
3. Astún, Spain
4. Berchtesgaden, Germany
5. Kranjska Gora, Slovenia
6. Spitzingsee, Germany
7. Candanchú, Spain
8. Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany
9. Oberstdorf, Germany
10. Serre-Chevalier, France
I'd love to say that Ski-Lifts offer transfers to all of these resorts – but we don't! It pains me to say it but there were even a few on there I hadn't even heard of and some (Mount Etna for example) that I can't imagine drags in that many people for a ski holiday. However, we do offer transfers to most of them, so take the chance to travel with us and get out and explore some of them.

It wasn't until I gazed upon my "sense of place" when I actually understood this quote. You can look at the world around you and instantly tell a lot by a person by their surroundings — that is by who, or what they choose to be surrounded by. With these pictures, I hope to allow you to catch a glimpse into my "sense of place," as they are vital components that make up the very essence of who I am.
This first picture is my living room. That's right, my living room. But it isn't just a living room. It is the objects within it that help to create my overall "sense of place." Let's take a look! To begin, I absolutely love earth tone colors; especially earth tone colored clothes and nail polish! I love earth tone colors because they are soft, calm, lively, vibrant and safe. They represent much of who I am. They are soft and subtle and can sometimes go unnoticed, but when you pair them together they POP! They are calm and safe in a sense because you can mix and match them with just about anything. They aren't overly dramatic but they have a little taste. When I look at earth tone colors, I almost feel that there is a certain sophistication to them in how they display wisdom, knowledge and experience about the world around them.
These next pictures display flowers. Not just any flowers, but white flowers. To me, white flowers represent purity, innocence, honesty, elegance and perfection. All of these qualities represent who I am as a person. I say perfection, not to boast but in a way that represents what I often seek and strive for in life in all things. To be the best person I can possibly be and to do things the best way I know how to achieve them. If you noticed in the last picture, I also had a floral carpet. In general, I love flowers and plants because they represent delicacy and growth. I see myself as being a very delicate and gentle person that has to be treated with care or else it risk the chances of being harmed, due to its innocence. I strive to grow in all areas of life and I don't think we are ever finished growing as people.
These are my speakers! In the previous picture you might have also seen a guitar! I absolutely adore music and the arts such as poetry, dance etc. Music is definitely my safe place. It is often where I retreat when I have difficulties vocalizing my inner thoughts or feelings. Both playing and listening to music is where I feel safe to express a wide range of emotions that I often times shut off from the world around me. I enjoy playing the guitar as well as the piano!
These next pictures is a jar and a basket. How can a jar and basket be my sense of place might you ask? Because similar to music, writing is also a safe and escape place for me. I enjoy writing my thoughts down on paper when I don't know how to express them to others. Or I simply write down impactful quotes or silly sayings that may have been unique to a particular experience I've encountered. I personally feel that when I write things down that I have the enjoyment of always looking back on them and it brings me back to the place I was experiencing when I wrote it down at the time. However, the basket isn't just any basket and the jar isn't just any jar. I call this basket my "release" basket. If I had a bad day for example, I write it down, put it in the basket, pray about it and leave it there. :) Or if I'm worried/anxious/sad about something I do the same. I call the jar my "blessing" jar. No, its not really a blessing jar. Its just a spaghetti sauce jar that I washed out and transformed into my now blessings jar. :) #SUSTAINABILITY The blessing jar, as I'm sure you can guess is where I write down all the ways God has blessed me. I like to put the exact date and time on the sticky notes so I know exactly when they happened too!
Last, but not least... drum roll please!
Pictures of family and friends. What would my sense of place be if I didn't have these beautiful people to share it with! I cherish and value the long-lasting relationships I've encountered over the years and they hold a very special place in my heart.
This here, is what I'd like to call...

Heye International is taking part in an initiative to plant at least 13,000 new trees – one for every single packaging order. Exportverpackung Sehnde GmbH; Heye's supplier in transport packaging solutions for equipment, is committed to minimizing and, ultimately, completely offsetting the carbon footprint of its products – wooden packaging palettes.
You might say that the obvious way to conserve the environment is not to use natural resources such wood as raw materials; after all, plastic palettes are widely available. But the simple fact is that a plastic palette has a carbon footprint of 40kg of CO2, whereas that of a wooden palette is only 27.51kg.

Colombia's hotels, once largely limited to domestic and Latin American brands, are now becoming as varied as Colombia's diverse tourism landscape. Formerly known for its social conflicts, Colombia is slowly becoming renowned for its cosmopolitan urban centers and excellent eco-adventure activities. Located in the Andes mountain range, Colombia is the only South American country to have beaches on both the Caribbean and the Pacific coasts. Furthermore, the country's proximity to the U.S. (Columbia is less than a five-hour flight from Miami), Europe and the rest of Latin America makes it an easy getaway for visitors.
All this newfound attention had the publishers of Michelin Green Guide take notice. Michelin released a Colombia edition of its book in February of this year, making it the first country in South America to have a completely dedicated green guide.
As visitors to the country increase, so does the number of international investors seeking to open hotels in the country. Indeed, Colombia is seeing a hotel boom, with such brands as InterContinental, Hilton, Sofitel, Sonesta, Ibis and Wyndham all planning developments in the country.
"In recent years, Colombia has achieved international recognition as a tourism destinatioLn," said Maria Claudia Lacouture, president of Proexport Colombia. "Between 2009 and 2011, the country opened more than 1,600 new hotel rooms with the some of the most prestigious international chains."
What follows is an overview of some of Colombia's hotels in development.
BogotaColombia's cosmopolitan, capital city, Bogota, is a popular destination for both business and leisure travelers. It has been forecasted that by 2014, there will be 2,253 new rooms in Bogota, up from 1,616 new rooms in 2009.
The much-acclaimed Sonesta Bogota opened this past March, making it the third Sonesta hotel in Colombia. The city is also celebrating the recent openings of the JW Marriott (July 2010), the Ibis Bogota Museo hotel (late 2010) and the locally owned Ar Hotel Salitre (2010)
InterContinental Hotels Group opened the 191-room, eight-story Holiday Inn Bogota Airport in July 2011, making it the first Holiday Inn in the country.
Other hotels slated to open soon include Aloft Bogota Airport Hotel in November, a new Tryp by Wyndham property in December and the 140-room NH Parque de la 93 hotel at the end of 2011.
In January 2012, the 245-room Bogota Hilton will open in Bogota's North District, making it an ideal location for leisure and business guests.
Hotels in the planning/development stages include a Hyatt property and a second Ibis property.
CartagenaLong touted for its colonial charms, Cartagena has numerous hotels in development as well. Among the city's most famous properties is the Sofitel Santa Clara hotel, which was originally built as a monastery in 1621 and became a UNESCO World Heritage Center in 1984.
In 2010, three boutique hotels, the Hotel Altamar, Hotel Zalmedina and Sahna Plus Hotel opened in Cartagena. Larger brand hotels such as the Sonesta Seaway 935, Holiday Inn and Royal also made an appearance, while existing properties such as Global Resort, Estelar Cartagena de Indias Marbella and Estelar Playa Manzanillo all underwent renovations.
Sonesta Collection announced the opening of its fourth hotel in Colombia, the 114-room Sonesta Hotel Cartagena in May 2011, joining its sister properties in Bogota, Barranquilla and Valledupar.
The Las Americas Resort also opened a new property in May 2011, the Las Americas Torre del Mar, a five-star property with 279 rooms.
InterContinental Hotels Group has two properties in development in Cartagena. The Holiday Inn Cartagena Morros is scheduled to open this month (August 2011), while the InterContinental Cartagena, with 282 rooms, is slated to open in 2013.
The Cartagena Hilton is currently undergoing a complete renovation of the guestrooms in its main tower, which is expected to be completed in July 2013.
Marriott International, Inc. has announced it will open the 278-room Cartagena Marriott Hotel in 2014, making this the third Marriott International endeavor in Colombia.
Other brands planning new properties in Cartagena include Melia and Iberostar.
CaliKnown as "The Salsa Capital of Colombia," Cali is Colombia's third-largest city. Cali's first five-star property, Hotel Spiwak Chipichape, opened in 2010 in the heart of the city's developing business and commercial district. Future hotel developments include a new Courtyard by Marriott (2012) and an Ibis property anticipated to open in 2013.
MedellinAs the second-largest city in Colombia, Medellin, is known for its welcoming locals. Earlier this year, the 123-room Four Points by Sheraton underwent a complete renovation. The property celebrated its 15th anniversary this year.
In June, Wyndham Hotel Group opened the Tryp Medellin, the first Tryp by Wyndham property in Colombia. The 14-story, four-star, select-service Tryp Medellin is located on Calle Colombia in the heart of the Colombian state of Antioquia's capital city. The hotel's opening reflects Wyndham Hotel Group's strategy of introducing the Tryp by Wyndham brand in key urban markets throughout the Americas.
Future hotel developments in the works in Medellin include an Ibis property, anticipated to open in 2012. Marriott Hotels has also indicated they are looking at Medellin as the location for a future property.

How to use Swiftype with Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a popular tool for tracking site-search analytics, and this tutorial will take you through the steps necessary to make sure searches through your Swiftype-powered search engine are tracked properly within your existing Google Analytics account.
Step 1: Make sure you're using the latest Google Analytics install code
Google Analytics has used a couple of different JavaScript-based install codes over the past few years.
You should make sure that you're using the latest "asynchronous loading" code, because it allows Swiftype to easily integrate with your analytics account. Also make sure that your Google Analytics install code is loaded before (above) your Swiftype install code on the page.
Beyond that, the asynchronous loading feature can improve the speed of your client-side page loads, so it generally provides an overall better experience for your users.
The latest version of the install code should look something like the following:
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
ga('create', 'UA-XXXX-Y', 'auto'); // Replace with your property ID.
ga('send', 'pageview');
For more information on using the new Google Analytics tracking code, see Google's documentation here.
Step 2: Configure Site-search tracking for your Google Analytics account
Follow this sequence of steps to configure site-search tracking in your Analytics account. You can find additional details in Google's help center here (click on Setting Up Site Search for a View).
- Click the Admin tab at the top right of any screen in Analytics.
- If you are not already on the Account Administration screen, click the All Accounts link at top left, just below the orange bar.
- Click the account that contains the web property and profile for which you want to set up Site Search.
- Click the web property that contains the profile for which you want to set up Site Search.
- Use the View menu to select the view you want.
- Click the View Settings sub-tab.
- Under Site Search Settings, select Do Track Site Search.
- In the Query Parameter field:
- If you use the Swiftype install code: enter
- If you use the Swiftype WordPress plugin: enter
- If you use the Swiftype install code: enter
- Click the 'Apply' button.
When you're finished, your profile settings screen should look something like the following. Keep in mind that Google Analytics site-search tracking can take up to 48 to start appearing in your dashboard.

To put a number on the national "Do Not Call" registry, simply go to the Do Not Call government website and enter a valid land line or cellphone number. After a number has been put on the Do Not Call list, telemarketers are unable to legally call that number.Continue Reading
The national Do Not Call registry is a service in which individuals can put their phone numbers onto a list of numbers that telemarketers cannot legally dial. Anyone can put their name on the registry, and once a number is put on the registry it will stay there until either the individual takes the number off, the number changes ownership, or the number gets disconnected. Use the following steps to put a number on the Do Not Call registry.
Locate the Do Not Call government website by using a search engine or simply entering "donotcall" as a URL.
Once on the website, enter a valid land line or cellphone number to be put on the registry. Enter a valid email when prompted.
An email will be sent out to confirm a number registration. Open the email and click on the link to confirm that the phone number should be put on the Do Not Call registry.

Dave Andrews <Dave_member pathlink.com> writes:
I just began learning/using D, and since I'm an obsessive compulsive game programmer I decided to write up a very, very simple little guess-the-number game just to use some basic D ideas. I used DIDE on Windows XP, using dmd version 0.78, and Kate on Red Hat 9 to write the same program, rh9 also using dmd v0.78. The program consists of 2 files, main.d and NumberGame.d. main.d is the program, and NumberGame.d just declares class NumberGame and all its functions. On Windows XP, I get an error message popup (from windows) saying dmd.exe has encountered a problem and needs to be closed.. The only information I get is that the error is at offset e8004996. On Linux, it just says "Segmentation fault" when I run "dmd main.d NumberGame.d". The program compiles and runs correctly when I cut the NumberGame class out of NumberGame.d and paste it at the top of main.d. This I do not understand. I've used comments to narrow down where the segmentation fault at compilation occurs, and it occurs at the first line of my int main: NumberGame myGame = new NumberGame; When that line is commented out, the program compiles fine whether in 1 file or in 2 files. I may not be using classes correctly.. I don't believe I'm supposed to HAVE to put all my code in one file. This also occurs in a few D programs I've found around the internet, such as the program submarine2 I found somewhere that uses SDL. Any ideas what the problem/bug is? Is it my code, and if it is, why does MY code cause a seg. fault in dmd?

Although the Oceana Beach & Wildlife Reserve is situated about an hour north of Port Elizabeth - and at the far-end of the Garden Route - it's well-worth the drive. From its hilltop throne with dramatic vistas of the bush, the beach, and the Indian Ocean rolling out before you, Oceana occupies pride of place.
The reserve boasts stellar game-viewing experiences including the likes of rhino, buffalo, and giraffe. Combine your wildlife adventure with a stroll over the dunes towards the silky-white sands skirting the warm Indian Ocean. After a day of exploring, head back to the hotel and unwind with a relaxing spa treatment or indulge in mouth-watering cuisine at the restaurant, or by candlelight on the beach.
The 4 Lodge Suites each boast 180-degree views of the bush and beach and come with king-size beds, a private deck, and a mini-bar. For a more exclusive experience, book into the Private Ocean House which consists of 3 en suite bedrooms and sleeps a maximum of six guests. A private plunge pool and a private chef and housekeeper are the cherry on top of this exclusive hilltop stay.
- 180-degree views of the bush, beach, and the Indian Ocean
- Spot rhino, buffalo, giraffe, and more on any of the reserve's thrilling game-viewing experiences

16-17 November 2009, San Antonio, TX
The Coastal Lidar Mapping Applications Requirements Workshop was held on November 16 & 17, 2009 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in San Antonio, Texas. The workshop was sponsored and planned by representatives from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Penn State University, University of Texas, and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and supported by the ASPRS/MAPPS 2009 Fall Conference. The workshop brought together key individuals from the coastal mapping community to focus on application-driven requirements for coastal lidar mapping. More than thirty participants, representing federal agencies, academia and the private sector were provided opportunities to review findings, identify issues, share expertise, and discuss requirements, best practices, and recommendations for Coastal Hazards, Beach/Shoreline Definition, and Coastal Management. Working groups continued to build on results of the federal workshop regarding metadata requirements and the proposed metadata template, as well as QA/QC best practices and recommendations. As an outcome of the meeting the representatives agreed to: refine, distibute and encourage use of the metadata template; add a Coastal Hazards requirements survey type to the Airborne Coastal Mapping and Charting Specifications; use a bathymetric lidar specific forum (http://lidarbb.cr.usgs.gov) to exchange information among workshop participants and the community of practice; communicate results and expand the conversation through a variety of venues; establish subcommittees or action teams to follow-up on recommendations.

14-15 January 2009, Bay St. Louis, MS
Over 20 participants representing 5 federal agencies with a mandate for ocean and coastal mapping and charting gathered for a workshop on 14-15 January 2009 to begin the development of common standards for airborne coastal mapping and charting data and products. The workshop was held in Bay St. Louis , MS, and was sponsored by the Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise (JALBTCX) partner agencies (USACE, U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office, NOAA) and the USGS Center for Coastal and Watershed Studies. In preliminary form, the participants agreed that most airborne coastal mapping and charting missions fall within two broad categories, one geared toward regional sediment management, environmental assessment, emergency response, and numerical modeling, and the other towards the production of cartographic elements for nautical charts. Outcomes of the workshop will include a draft standard for airborne coastal mapping and charting data and a common vernacular for metadata to facilitate data sharing among agencies. The draft standard and metadata standard will support activities of the Interagency Working Group on Ocean and Coastal Mapping and the Committee on Marine Transportation Safety.

(Indianapolis) – Nyhart, one of the nation's largest independent actuarial and employee benefits consulting firms, has announced an educational series for CFOs and defined benefit plan sponsors in government and private businesses who currently offer pension benefits. Actuaries will teach pension plan sponsors on the ongoing expenses and costs of defined benefit plans
The series of three seminars, available both as a webinar and in-person as Nyhart's headquarters in Indianapolis, will be geared to highlight how ongoing regulatory changes and financial factors are impacting the viability of pension benefits.
Sustainability of Costs in Public Pension Plans
Thursday, June 16 at 11 a.m., featuring Actuary Heath Merlak
The liability in public pension plans keep increasing while the government entity supporting the plan is not. With most public pension plans currently underfunded and operating budgets feeling pressure, where are these plans headed? Will costs continue to rise? Will benefit promises need to be revised?
High Pension Costs: When and Where is the Peak?
Thursday, June 23 at 11 a.m. featuring Actuary John Dowell
For private pension plans that must comply with the funding rules introduced by the Pension Protection Act of 2006, investment performance and interest rate levels drive the contribution requirements. The collapse of the stock market in 2008 has been followed by extremely low interest rates in 2009 and 2010, increasing costs in nearly all U.S. private pension plans. How high will they get and when will we get over the hump?
Managing a Frozen Pension Plan – Should Our Strategy Change?
Thursday, June 30 at 11 a.m. featuring Actuary John Dowell
Once benefit accruals are frozen in a pension plan, the game is changed. The indefinite horizon becomes finite. If plan termination is the ultimate goal, the desired horizon is likely five years or less. Should strategic changes be made given this reduced timeframe?
Individuals interested in attending the events in person or via webinar may contact James Burnes at email@example.com to be added to the invitation list. There is no cost to attend the program. Seating is limited.

Author(s): Julian Barnes
One of the Best Books of the Year: San Francisco Chronicle 1936: Dmitri Shostakovich, just thirty years old, reckons with the first of three conversations with power that will irrevocably shape his life. Stalin, hitherto a distant figure, has suddenly denounced the young composer's latest opera. Certain he will be exiled to Siberia (or, more likely, shot dead on the spot), Shostakovich reflects on his predicament, his personal history, his parents, his daughter--all of those hanging in the balance of his fate. And though a stroke of luck prevents him from becoming yet another casualty of the Great Terror, he will twice more be swept up by the forces of despotism: coerced into praising the Soviet state at a cultural conference in New York in 1948, and finally bullied into joining the Party in 1960. All the while, he is compelled to constantly weigh the specter of power against the integrity of his music. An extraordinary portrait of a relentlessly fascinating man, The Noise of Time is a stunning meditation on the meaning of art and its place in society.
Long-listed for Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction 2017.
"A masterpiece of biographical fiction... A great novel, Barnes's masterpiece... Exquisite, intimate detail. He has given us a novel that is powerfully affecting, a condensed masterpiece that traces the lifelong battle of one man's conscience, one man's art, with the insupportable exigencies of totalitarianism." -- Alex Preston Observer "Barnes's sombre, brilliant new novel opens with a scene like something from a story by Chekhov... Gleaming with intelligence and literary flair, this elegantly composed fictional meditation offers a fresh gloss on a musical genius's collisions and collusions with power." -- Peter Kemp Sunday Times "[Barnes is] a master of the narrative sidestep... Not just a novel about music, but something more like a musical novel... The story itself is structured in three parts that come together like a broken chord. It is a simple but brilliant device, and one that goes right to the heart of this novel." -- Robert Douglas-Fairhurst The Times "A compelling novel about art and power, courage and cowardice, and the capriciousness of fate...Barnes brilliantly captures the composer's conflicted state of mind...This book is only 190 pages long, but it packs an extraordinary emotional punch." -- Sebastian Shakespeare Tatler "This is a slim novel about the big things: art, fear, Power...history's farcical, tragic repetitions. It is also quite excellent." -- Stephanie Cross Daily Mail
Julian Barnes is the author of twelve novels, including The Sense of an Ending, which won the 2011 Man Booker Prize for Fiction. He has also written three books of short stories, Cross Channel, The Lemon Table and Pulse; four collections of essays; and two books of non-fiction, Nothing to be Frightened Of and the Sunday Times Number One bestseller Levels of Life. He lives in London.

Yah... of course. Never mind that prior to 2006 you couldn't call from a cell phone from 30,000 ft. It was too far away for the cell towers (which may or may not have been present in the mountains below) to receive their signal.

Ah yes the old idiotic cell phones dont work from planes rant.....
One problem was not calling using a cell phone, but an AIRFONE. Air Fones were specifically designed to
work from aircraft in flight - which is why they were called AIRFONES and installed on airliners!
Only last 2 calls out of 37 made from the plane were made with cell phones (Cee Cee Lyles/Ed Felt) - by which
time plane was at altitude of 7000- 8000 ft. Cell towers in that region of Pennsylvania are on mountains at
elevatiion of 3000 ft .
Two Bingham was calling his mother who was visiting her brother (his uncle) house - how would he know who
would pick up the phone?
Three - his mother, Alice Hoagland, said often adressed people in that fashion
So who to believe - his mother or idiotic conspiracy site....?

Selected works by Royalton artist Casey Booth will be on display through September 7, 2016, in the Gifford Medical Center Art Gallery.
Born and raised in South Strafford VT, Booth began to draw in her adolescent years and is a self-taught artist. She has been cultivating skills and techniques over the years, working in oil, pastels, water colors, and fiber arts. Most recently she has focused on the alcohol inks she used in 21 pieces displayed in this exhibit.
"I am drawn to abstract styles and express emotions and feelings through my art, blending things that others see as a straight line," she said. "I especially enjoy working with alcohol inks, which allow pigments to form and blend into a fluid scene. This produces a piece that is abstract as well as organic in nature."
This exhibit is free and open to the public, and will be displayed through September 7, 2016. The gallery is located just inside the hospital's main entrance at 44 S, Main St. (Route 12) in Randolph. Call Gifford at (802) 728-7000 for more information.

Dr. Roger Elmore, ISU Corn Specialist says farmers have to control their urge to plant in the warm soils this week as the situation will change on Thursday.
According to Elmore: "Certainly some corn lies firmly imbedded in fairly warm Iowa soil as I write this on Monday morning, 29 April. After a long bout of cold wet weather, soil temperatures warmed up above 50⁰ F over the entire state with cooler temperatures in EC and SE Iowa and up to 60⁰ F in Lyon County in NW IA. Soil moisture conditions in some fields are probably conducive for planting. And…it is April 29th!"
Elmore says farmers should look back at recent conditions…and then ahead for this week. Last week's Growing Degree Day (GDD) accumulations across Iowa lagged well behind normal, 56%. The SC and SE Cropping Districts (CD) fell furthest behind with each at 47% of normal; the NW CD was at 71% of normal GDD accumulation for last week.
Although we've experienced some good drying conditions the last few days, it's not going to last. Rain is forecast for most of the week. And it is not going to stay warm either. Temperatures, after teasing us for a few days, will plummet by midweek. Central Iowa forecast temperatures for the week drop into the mid 30's Wednesday through at least Saturday. If that happens, forecast GDD accumulations will barely reach half the normal 60 GDD for the next 7 days in central Iowa! Soil temperatures will nosedive.

Cambridge Nanotherm supply finished PCBs that are circuitised to our customer's specifications. Our approved supplier programme covers a global network of leading thick and thin-film PCB fabricators along with laser and mechanical drilling, routing, scoring and dicing partners.
Nanotherm LC manufacturing options
Nanotherm LC uses standard reductive PCB techniques to etch out the copper trace on the surface of the Nanoceramic. Our approved supplier programme ensures that all PCBs are fabricated to the highest standards with services ranging from fast turnaround prototyping to mass production. Nanotherm has suppliers located across Europe and Asia.
PCB drawings
Layout drawings are required to proceed to manufacture. In order of preference they are Gerber, Extended Gerber and DFX (with model, i.e. layered structure with drill locations). Drawings need to include individual circuit and panel layout including assemble features (e.g. mechanical registration holes on perimeter).

|EMP LED white

|Silk screen
|Feature sizes, track and gap, drilled holes
|Request design rules
Nanotherm DM manufacturing options:
Nanotherm DM goes through the same circuitisation process as electronics grade ceramics such as Al2O3 and AIN. Nanotherm works with the world's leading thin-film fabricators who use direct plated copper (DPC) techniques to atomically bond the circuit to the ceramic creating the best possible thermal performance and adhesion. The DPC process builds incredibly high definition circuits so the track and gap definition can be much finer than possible with a standard PCB reductive process. This is a key requirement for the die-level semiconductor industry – particularly the HB-LED packaging, COB LED and power electronics module industries.
Through holes and features
Nanotherm's technology makes the manufacture of electrically isolated through holes for double sided circuits very straightforward. Holes are either mechanically or laser drilled prior to the ECO process. When the aluminium undergoes the Nanoceramic conversion it converts the surface of the holes in exactly the same way as it does any other surface. This gives a perfect dielectric finish through the thickness so when the material is circuitised the holes can be filled with copper creating the connections for a double sided circuit.
Mechanical properties
One of the outstanding attributes of Nanotherm DM is its mechanical properties. As it's predominantly aluminium it's incredibly robust, in marked contrast to brittle ceramics. This helps to increase yields as it lessons breakages and makes the material easier to handle along the supply chain. Nanotherm DM can also be manufactured in large panels which in turn means that manufacturers can fit more circuits onto a unit. This brings previously impossible economies of scale to the market which can help to reduce costs further still.

What good are bumper stickers? So far in my life I have never seen anyone pull the car over and say to the passenger, "You know what? You CAN'T hug the world with nuclear arms, can you?" or, "I just visualized world peace and it was awesome."
They are not really arguments, let alone compelling ones. Bumper stickers don't really change people's lives. Nevertheless it is nearly impossible to go anywhere for a short drive in just about any town and not see the simple black "W," a Shepherd Fairey, "Hope" illustration of Obama, a name followed by a "2012," or a pithy statement about how just such-and-such a position makes the most obvious moral sense or that ridicules the opposition. So I've been wondering, if these little traveling slogans don't really change things, why do they keep showing up everywhere, and more importantly, what are they really trying to tell me?

James Franco has signed on to direct a new movie about one of the worst films ever made.
The 127 Hours star will helm The Disaster Artist, which will chronicle 2003's The Room, a flop that became an unlikely late-night cult favorite.
Franco will also star as Tommy Wiseau, the Room's director and leading man.
The film will be adapted from Tom Bissel's book, The Disaster Artist, about the making of the film.
Franco's brother Dave is attached to play Wiseau's co-star Greg Sestero, and Seth Rogen is on board to produce.
