Very nice project overall.
High marks across the board.
When Jackson National Life Insurance decided to expand nationally with a new regional headquarters, they had a detailed vision of a sleek, modern, and very friendly corporate environment for an energetic young workforce. At the same time, the Michigan-based company wanted to provide a formal but warm and approachable space for their executive team. Jackson National looked at various buildings across the country before settling on a speculative office building in Franklin, Tennessee.
Their plan was to move into the building in three phases, the first of which would include the first, second and fifth floors, a total of 96,000 square feet that would include a 12,000 square-foot dining facility, a corporate data center, offices and common work areas, and an executive suite.
The overarching challenge of the first phase of the project was to transform a generic office building — not built with one tenant in mind — into a stylish workplace with a unified corporate image, and an environment that welcomed young employees and seasoned executives alike. The company loved Middle Tennessee's beauty, business climate and highly educated pool of workers, and were eager to invest in a workplace that would match the area's quality of life and vibrancy. Jackson National is known for having a hands-on approach, which meant the company's leadership would be heavily involved in decisions about design — from material selection to chairs for the boardroom. The GS&P team was challenged to work collaboratively with the client, more so than is typically required.
"Jackson National is a company with extremely high standards," says design leader Jack Weber. "They had ideas about what they wanted. We were charged with establishing good lines of communication so we could execute their vision."
Collaborative design
Jackson National Life is a large national company with over $680 million in annual revenue. Despite holding a power spot as one of the country's top three largest sellers of variable annuities, the company keeps a low profile when it comes to marketing. They have little or no national advertising and possess little desire for extensive corporate branding. The company simply didn't need or want to make their corporate stamp with brash logos or other marketing-oriented techniques. But they did want to give full expression to the company's core values and cooperative corporate culture. The GS&P team worked alongside the Jackson National leadership team to translate key concepts considered integral to the company: impeccable professionalism, a strong belief in the value of collaboration, an ironclad commitment to quality, and a willingness to be playful and casual when the time calls for it.
Jackson National had several priorities for the space, and at the top of the list was a focus on making an impression on current and future employees.
"The client wanted to make sure they could find the best and the brightest young employees," says senior designer and project manager Kelly Hodges.
"They wanted to have an inviting space for them; an environment that would add to the excitement of working for a great company and would not only attract them but retain them."
The GS&P team conducted vision sessions with Jackson National's real estate and executive team led by Dennis Blue, and worked especially closely with Mike Wells, president and CEO. It took time to narrow the focus and agree on a combined vision.
"We had to go back and forth a bit," Weber says. "We knew the client wanted a contemporary look that would be appealing to young professionals in their 20s and 30s, but interpreting the vision precisely was a challenge. Our first designs were a little too retro. We went back to the drawing board and simplified the designs and made them less tied to a period style, although they still had the sleek, uncluttered features of modern design. The focus on young professionals guided the direction of our interior design image with a nod toward colorful graphic accents and a large collection of original art throughout the building."
First impressions, unifying graphics
One of the project's most important challenges was to transform the entry lobby area from a pass-through zone, originally designed for multiple tenants, into a reception area what would create a very strong first impression.
"We needed to scale the lobby down and make it more personal," Weber says. "It was an opportunity to define the character of the entire project, so we needed a big element with personality."
The collaborative team solved the dilemma by including an oversized inspiration image — a feature wall and ceiling — that acts as a dynamic focal point for visitors, and as a visual barrier to the elevator lobby. Shapes used for the large image became a consistent, balancing theme used repetitively and creatively in several key areas of the building.
"Working with our internal environmental graphics team, we took the basic patterns and translated them into other graphics to unify the concept throughout the space," Weber says. "We kept with very neutral colors in the main lobby, with wood or stone elements, but with one important exception. We included a bright reception desk that not only acts as the focal point of the lobby, but also hints toward the more playful splashes of color of the interior spaces."
Circular shapes in the feature wall, ceiling and throughout give an abstract nod to the company's logo, the profile of a horse contained within a red circle. The gentle suggestion of the company's logo is in keeping with Jackson National's understated — but highly sophisticated — corporate image.
Additional steps were taken to further the goal of replacing the formerly conservative pass-through space at the building's entrance with an entryway that would make a bold — but calm and orderly — first impression. Traditional ceiling light was replaced with pendant linear fluorescent and floor mounted lights that could wash the coffered ceiling and feature wall with light. A stone floor was added with overlapping bands of grey, black and white, which reflect the geometric design of the new ceiling and desk.
Bright repetitions, rejuvenating spaces
The graphic patterns established in Jackson National's entrance lobby are repeated as brightly colored design elements on every floor. For instance, large framed panels of patterned glass provide colorful focal points at either end of the elevator lobbies. The panels also act as a separation wall that sets apart a gathering place for employees before or after meetings in adjacent conference rooms.
"In contrast to the white graphic elements used in the lobby, the graphic elements in other areas are more playful," Hodges says. "The bright colors are much less formal."
Screen wall colors alternate from floor-to-floor to help employees and visitors with wayfinding throughout the building. Colorful graphic elements are also used in break rooms on wall coverings and framed glass panels. Graphics in the dining area depart slightly from the strong colors in other parts of the building, but still reflect the grid patterns established by the lobby screen wall. Circles are not the suggestive logo emblems but large, bright disc-like ceiling lights and are replicated on a stained concrete floor.
"We wanted the break and dining areas to be places of relief and rejuvenation," explains Hodges. "You have similar elements in this space but it's not quite the same feel as the rest of the building. This is a less formal place to eat, meet, play ping-pong or foosball. It's all about the client's desire to offer unique amenities to their young workforce."
Jackson National also wanted to create a modern, flexible work environment where employees feel valued, not tucked away in dark offices or stuffed into tiny cubicles. The office floors are organized to reflect this concern.
"Years ago, executives and senior employees had exclusive claim to the window office," Weber says. "Our solution uses less standard office space and more open space and common working areas. We organized the floors to maximize views and natural light for everyone. We stacked the private offices away from the glass. Even within the executive suite, where offices are planned on the perimeter, they have full glass fronts that allow for natural light and views for other employees."
The fifth floor executive suite needed to blend in with the elements used on the first and third floors, but also be set apart as a more conventional area for formal events such as international board meetings or high-level planning sessions. The same inclusionary principles of stacking offices and providing pre-function areas for congregation points were used, but colors are largely neutral with high-quality materials used for furniture and other decorative elements.
Examples of more formal elements include the high-end millwork used in the executive boardroom, and a row of sleek pivot doors that act as both a grand entrance into the boardroom and a convenient way to open the room to the rest of the space.
"The level of sophistication comes out in the details," Weber says. "They are almost always a gesture, a touch or flourish of excellence and beauty, not something that screams at you. Success comes in the selection of the very best materials, and the most elegant small features and details."
A dose of patience and ultimate success
Despite the comparatively trouble-free execution of the interior designs, a few structural obstacles became some of the bigger challenges in the project. The GS&P team had to work closely with the local codes department to rework and upgrade the space from standard business occupancy to one that permits multiple uses and assembly, and had to reconfigure the space to house two important areas — the corporate data center and the large employee dining area.
"It was a difficult task to get all the elements of the first floor to work," says Hodges. "We had to combine blocks of spaces to solve it, to get the flow, circulation and all the entrances and exits to work. We were forced to put the data center close to the glass and not on the interior, which would have been the ideal place for it. We finally solved the problem by building a drywall partition in front of the exterior glass. It's a solution that kept the effects of heat and sunlight low."
The Jackson National Life Insurance building debuted in April 2011, bringing with it almost 300 jobs and much fanfare in the community. The success of the project led to additional projects with clients in Lansing, Michigan; Tampa, Florida; Denver, Colorado and other cities. The GS&P team landed a national agreement with the firm and will be included as an integral team member for future projects.
"The client did not originally intend to bring a design consultant on board for the project, so we had to build a strong, reliable, consistent rapport with them," Weber says. "Initially, we would never have expected the project to turn out with these high-end, high-quality results, but that's the beauty of working with a sophisticated, informed client. The partnership took time to develop, but the result is that we have a long-term client who really believes in us. We are seen as trusted advisors who can bring smart, innovative ideas to the table."

Since the early days of Justine's now rapidly paced childhood, a fixture of the evening ritual has always been a bath. We identified early on that she had an odd propensity for water bound behavior, at one point spending months submerged in a small sac of water entirely of her own accord. Naturally we wanted to capitalize on this character trait and incorporate it into "holy of holies" in childhood sleep therapy, the "night-time ritual."
In the very beginning, bath time was more of quick step in the process, in large part because Justine at that point in her life was little more than a writhing bag of goo with eyes that did little but eat, sleep and poop. We'd dutifully put her in the tub, proceed immediately to the task of scrubbing away the awful scents she picked up from the friends and family that had held onto her. After a quick rinse it was off to the changing table for diapers and pajamas.
As time went on however, it became clear that our little one enjoyed her time in the bath, and we started making a more conscious effort to let her sit in there and play, beginning to augment bath time with a variety of bath toys. At first, it was mostly items that we already had in the kitchen that happened to float – cups, sponges, old cans filled with bacon fat for example. Eventually we purchased commercial bath toys – "fancy" bath cups, rubber duckies, and little squirters – the latter providing probably more fun for me than for her. I enjoyed squirting things (the cats, the wife, the Wicked Witch of the West) while Justine instead preferred to put the thing in her mouth and squeeze out all the water.
That has always been a bit of a struggle for us – for some unknown reason Justine has also shown a proclivity to drinking her bathwater. She'll take cups, surreptitiously fill them, and then drink them, ending usually in some nasty coughs as she is still getting the hang of the "chug" she probably won't fully develop until college. She does similar things at the pool, which is even harder to police, especially when she's over in her pool swimming her laps while you are in the hot tub.
The actual vessel of bath time has changed significantly over the months as well as the toys. When she first emerged from the womb, we used to bathe her in a teacup, resting her on a soup spoon while we scrubbed her with some doll brushes the Indian in the Cupboard gave us. Eventually we moved her into a "toddler bath," a molded plastic affair that was designed to fit over the double sink in the kitchen. This was ideal because we could give Justine her bath, and then use the leftover bathwater for other chores, like rinsing vegetables and making Kool-Aid for the neighborhood kids.
Now that Justine has gotten too large for the kitchen sink, she now happily spends her bath firmly ensconced in the S.S. Ducky McMallard, a large inflatable duck that fits in our large bathtub and comes complete with beak that unleashes a barrage of classic Australian Wood Duck quacks, which she adores. We are somewhat less enthused when we trip over the thing in the middle of the night as it takes up most of the bathroom when not in the tub. Her time in the bath has increased significantly, now bordering on the half an hour mark, which is a bit more a struggle for the watcher, who sits idly by while she engages in splashing, standing attempts, bath toy tossing, and the SCUBA certification.
Where does the road lead from here? Based on her current progression I would estimate that by her 18 month birthday she'll be lounging out for a few hours every night playing with some 1:32 scale working tugboats in a large Turkish bath.
I wonder if they make those in duck shapes…

The 2013 World Tour of Camper Stores
Brussels, London, Glasgow, Santander, Barcelona, Istanbul, Korea, Tokyo, Santa Monica, Sao Paulo, New York, Madrid, Copenhagen. You can go around the world by visiting the most prominent Camper stores of 2013.
You could begin your tour in Europe, or more specifically in Brussels. There you will find our new store located in the shopping district of Royales Saint-Hubert, where you can write your New Year's resolutions when visiting our new Postcard Shop. An innovative concept created by Martí Guixé, who this year also applied this new concept to the Camper stores in Philadelphia, Istanbul, Palma airport and Copenhagen.
Glasgow, Santander, and Istanbul exude the minimalist style of Tomás Alonso. The Galician designer exhibitor of the slow design, shaped these areas with simple adze tools, and he furnished them with pipes, wood and colour.
You can go around the world by visiting the most prominent Camper stores of 2013.
The eternal summer awaits you in the famous Spitalfields market, a creation by the duo Doshi Levien
If you continue your tour through London, the eternal summer awaits you in the famous Spitalfields market, a creation by the duo Doshi Levien made from Mediterranean elements and illustrious materials.
If you got lost in Barcelona, get yourself down to the Meeting Point Camper Store in the shopping mall of Diagonal Mar, also designed by Martí Guixé.
In Asia you will find new Camper stores in Korea, and in Tokyo where you can wonder at the elegance of Alfredo Häberli.
If you now head to Santa Monica Place in America, the world of Tokujin Yoshioka – one of Japan's most respected designers – awaits you. Yoshioka looks to nature to find the essence of his creations.
Still in the USA, in the iconic Fifth Avenue of New York, you will be taken by the ethereal feel of Nendo, the studio awarded the Designer of the Year (Wallpaper, 2012). Nendo also designed the Camper store on Serrano street in Madrid.
Resuming your tour southward, Sao Paulo will hit you twice, with the first Camper stores in Brazil: The first one is located in the Iguatemi JK shopping mall, designed by Marko Brajovic who took his inspiration from the colours of Brazil's popular street festivals for the design of this store. In the same city, the Campana brothers have broken down their particular style in the contemporary design on Oscar Freire street, mixing traditional textures with synthetic materials to display a surprising hybrid result of beauty and functionality.
We hope that you have enjoyed this tour around some of the most important openings of this year. On our part, we will continue to strive to make 2014 a year where you can keep walking alongside us.

Now that Summer is officially here, the rate of growth is accelerating with greater light levels and rising temperatures. I can re-use the string I used last year to tie up the organic tomato plants I bought from Sonairte at Balbriggan Fish and Farmers' Market last Friday morning.
The varieties are 'St Pierre' and 'Diplom F1' and 'Tumbler'. Tumbler I am told does not need support but with my small greenhouse, I want to train it upwards to give it good light and make picking fruit in a small space easier.
I still had old stalks of teasel and fennel which now need to be chopped back so new fennel, for example, can grow unimpeded. These brittle stalks are handy as twigs for the pea and bean plants to grow up. These supports may not be vital just yet, but the blue skies and calm conditions could easily change to driving wind and rain in coming weeks. That is when these supports will come into their own.

Fiction Writing & Editing Services
September 2016: My article, "Pop Muses: Welcoming Fanfiction into the Creative Writing Workshop," is the cover story of this month's Association of Writers and Writing Programs Writer's Chronicle: https://www.awpwriter.org/magazine_media/writers_chronicle_overview
The following are a few excerpts from my books.
From "Vocation," collected in Unmarriageable Daughters (Lewis-Clark Press):
The year Camille turned fifteen, her family moved to Brookline, Massachusetts, and their seventh apartment in her lifetime, and her father found religion. That was how she thought of it—"finding religion"—as if it were something you could discover suddenly and all at once. In truth, she would come to know, the signs must have been gathering for quite a while. Something that had walked in shadow beside her father—perhaps for years—had moved into the light, and it had turned out to be religion. The way he acted, though, it was as if he'd been showered with a gift, or with a brilliant guest who was in danger of leaving soon, and had to be wooed into staying behind forever.
This was the year that dreams, for Camille, became a cultivated hobby. Writing down your lifetime goals, she'd heard, was the first step toward seeing them come true. So every Sunday, she made a ritual of copying the growing list onto a new page of her bedside notebook:
1) Get accepted into the corps of the Royal or New York City Ballet by age sixteen;
2) Take a lover by eighteen;
3) Get Andrew to notice me by summer's end,
and so on. They filled twenty pages by now, slanty cursive lines in green ink.
This, finally, was the spring she forgot how to sleep. Sleep came now in dozes just before dawn, or in breathless naps over her homework after dinner. But her bed at night meant waking terrors. She could lie rigid for hours, listening one minute to the gravelly cries of a cat in heat down by the trolley tracks, the next to Débussy variations echoing inside her head—the soundtrack to which she and Andrew her ballet teacher danced a duet full of swoops and lifts in the watery, amber light of late afternoon.
When Camille was younger, her father had given her books of Shakespeare and Poe and taught her how to play chess: sitting behind her at the board with one arm around her shoulders, his hand resting on top of hers as she held each piece in turn. He was walking her through the move, he said, so that she'd get the feel of it—better than if he told her only in words what she should do.
"Concentrate," he'd always said. "For your next move, just do whatever's least expected."
Nowadays, though he was not yet fifty, he'd already taken on an old man's ways. He would tip his head back to peer at things through his bifocals and smile when she talked, half-amused. Or he'd wink at her for no reason—like one morning when she was nodding over breakfast and he asked with a small laugh if she'd had a rough night.
Then there were the nervous angers. The time she'd asked if she could borrow some of his caffeine pills and he'd thrown the magazine he was reading to the floor and shouted that no kid of his was going to get started on drugs if he had anything to say about it. Or the evening he'd come into her bedroom for a book and launched a small tirade about the David Hamilton poster above her bed. It was a soft-focus shot of a woman in profile bending over, naked from the waist up, to tie her pointe shoe.
"Katherine!" he had called. "Come in here. I want you to see something." Her mother had come as far as the doorway, and he'd demanded to know if she was aware of Camille being exposed to this sort of "gauzy pornography," as he put it. "Am I to understand we're paying for these dance classes so they can sell her sex?"
From the opening of my first novel, I'll Be a Stranger to You. IBASTY was a first-place winner in the 2007 Utah Original Writing Competition, sponsored by the Utah Arts Council. It is published as an e-book by Outpost19. See more at http://www.outpost19.com/IBASTY:
In his apartment on Gagarinskii alley, Lucas Tiller was awake too early—once again. Outside his window, the dawn was an embryo, a pinprick flaw in the velvet drape of sky.
It was October—1998—almost winter. He had arrived back in Moscow last New Year, so now he had lived half the time here with his wife, Marianne, and half without. It still seemed strange to wake up alone. Every morning his eyes flew open hours before the sun. He sat up, double-paned comforter wrapping his legs. Marianne had always called it the Russian tamale. He dozed, forehead resting on his two raised knees.
He felt as if he had been dreaming of Viktor, his old Mormon mission companion. Ever since Marianne had left, Viktor had been visiting Lucas's mind, a not-quite-welcome guest, a beautiful pestilence, like the window doves at dawn. He thought of waking up those mornings, on his church mission half a dozen years before, and seeing at the end of his couch-bed the top of Viktor's blond head bowed in prayer. Lucas thought of how Viktor always had to be first in everything. First another time, too, that one time—just that once, really: the rest doesn't count—when he'd been bowed over Lucas on the couch-bed until Lucas had begged him, begged in both their languages, to stop.
Fall mornings in Moscow. The sullen faces of the residential slabs, their windows unlit even beneath an overcast sky. The humped and pitted sidewalks, the mud puddles crackly with their dermis of frost. A trail of rotting leaves, like the spore of some giant, suffering beast, led to the open-air market at the corner. The gold-toothed women at the kiosks beamed whether the front pages blared "economic crisis" or not. They seemed always so delighted to serve you a plastic cup of tea, which you held gingerly between your fingertips at the rim; or a sausage pasty, or a banana. You could buy cigarettes, or cheeses, or tins of kerosene. At seven a.m. the bar kiosk opened, and the men leaned on their elbows on the formica table stands, quaffing their Baltikas or gin-and-tonics-in-a-can or their vodka in paper cups. The chilly air was suffused with the smells of stale tobacco and exhaust fumes from the idling delivery trucks, peat-brown or drab green like the Army vans that also idled in the lot, attended by clusters of uniformed youths with sulky mouths. But around the square of the market the oaks and birches still shed their slimy leaves, and dogs ran loose and often rutted in the spaces between the kiosks, and at the perimeter of the market, unsheltered, stood a line of old people from the country selling potatoes or carrots, still crusted with dirt, directly from their buckets.
So beneath the chemical burn lay always the smell of earth, one indistinguishable from the other, as if even in this craven and polluted city the richness of the soil still staked the final claim.
From the opening of my second novel, Marian Hall, a semifinalist in the 2010 James Jones Novel Fellowship competition:
My whole life has been a matter of returning. I return to memories, and I return to the actual places those memories recall. I return to years. I return to seasons. I return to November. It doesn't matter what year the calendar says. November is a month apart from any year.
Return. Return. Re-turn the knobs of memory's same doors. Re-turn the dials on the viewfinder, and this is the view that it finds.
A phone shrills on a bedside table. It's eleven o'clock on a wet night in a room in a women's hostel in midtown Manhattan. The silence hovers tensely now, minute to minute.
I am not the woman in that hostel room, all those years ago. No, I'm only thinking about her—thinking about her daily, now. My own room, nowadays, is a private ward in Mercy Hospital. A space measuring twelve by fifteen, and I am lying propped in a metal-frame bed against pillows constructed in some synthetic fabric that keeps them firm beneath the relentless weight of my back.
A sash window gives on the parking lot. On the nightstand beside me is a desk lamp, a telephone with an outside line, a top spiral-bound 8 1/2 by 11 notebook, three ballpoint pens, and a tape recorder.
I have something I must try to write. One who has lived a life such as mine must try, anyway, to write it.
In this room, the walls could use a fresh coat of white paint, and the dull, drizzly light of outside suggests a day that never doffed its bathrobe. So, on that morning two days ago when I was shown in here, I went ahead at first and indulged a panic, one of those ten-minute flash-fears: lying in the bed, flat and rigid as bone.
These fears will never leave me altogether, as long as I am here—and I expect to be here quite a while, a regular rest-cure length, though in my case it is more the test-cure: two weeks of tests and of meals on plastic trays.
The bottom is falling out. I can feel it. Over the last five years I had begun to pack it under me: solid soil, layer upon layer of it. Each year another. I hadn't moved. In five whole years I had not had to move.
But now it's crumbling. I might have known. Permanence doesn't come to those like me. Somehow in the end, dense earth always dries and crumbles to dust. I feel again that murmur of the heart—the murmur that has always been my real home.
I do not understand where I am and what I am doing there.
When I say that, I don't only mean the hospital. Though I might try to lay claim to this place by labeling it the country of my youth, in reality it's nothing more than some medium-sized Massachusetts mill town, at the center of which a river trickles and stalls between stone embankments, clogged with leaves and brambles, exuding burnt-sugar fumes.
And what an appalling time of year anywhere, when bare branches make querulous shadows on the ceiling, like old blind women who are palpating the furniture to discover where they are.
But as I think all this and nothing happens, my breathing inevitably calms and becomes regular, and it occurs to me—as it always has, as it has never failed to in any one of these single rooms the last forty years, that there is something in this shabby solitude very much like a bower of freedom.
Because, after all, the phone has an outside line, and there's the paper, and there are the pens, and there's the tape recorder to speak into when my energy flags.
I must try to write it. Start again—start further back this time. Return. Return. Make the returning worth something at last.

Can you teach me how can I make money online?
My answer to Can you teach me how can I make money online?
Answer by Frank Wesley:
So do you really want to learn how to make money online? Follow what the truly successful folks are doing. Do that in more ways than one. You'll understand that completely once you read this entire article and I mean the complete piece.
We all know that habits can either help or hurt your success in life. Bad habits can fester and grow into a lifestyle that takes you away from the things you want to do and good habits can help you create a life that's full of action and accomplishment.
Now, while we can all study successful habits, it's meaningless if we don't implement that knowledge. So here are five (5) daily habits of highly successful people, habits you can work on to create the life you truly want to live. Once you start applying these (5) habits, follow my suggestions in the rest of this article;
- Successful people plan out their day the night before.
- Successful people read books to get inspired.
- Successful people make their health a priority.
- Successful people don't get distracted by what other people are doing.
- Successful people live each day as if it were the last.
Now that you have the foundation necessary to be successful, act on your desire to make money online and read on …..
If you are serious about building a sustainable, legitimate, long-term business online, you need guidance. I've been down this road. What you don't want to do is try to re-create the wheel.
In other words, what you should do is copy what is already working, a good blueprint. Do what the winners are already doing. It only makes good sense and it is what works.
You need a blueprint to follow, one that is currently working. You can see examples of exactly what you need by visiting my sites found in my profile.
Most people never make so much as a dollar online because they never take action towards building a proper business online. If you want to get a head start on establishing a real income, be sure to follow my suggestions.
Part of achieving success online is establishing a responsive list of subscribers.
By far the easiest way to start building a list is to setup a squeeze page and send traffic to it…but if you're really serious about building a stable, profitable Internet business, you need to go one step further:
Sell your own products to your list.
A lot of people hesitate at the idea of creating their own products but these are the steps to follow. There are a lot of different parts that go into creating a product:
– Writing the ebook
– Creating the videos
– Designing the sales pages
– Writing the sales copy
– Making sure it all links up properly
– Uploading it all properly
– Testing the payment links properly
So it's pretty obvious why most people never get around to creating their own products. But seriously, this is what it takes …
… you can get others to do all the work for you. That process is called outsourcing and yes, that can be done.
However, if you want to start selling your own products without doing any of the actual work, if you want to do more than just make a few dollars here and there, if you are really serious about building a stable, profitable Internet business then you should seriously think about what I've stated.
>>> Free Blueprint
Take action because, honestly, only action takers make it.

Everyone should read this.
A really quick post (I promise I'll blog more after I'm done with my bloody final exam)
I stumbled upon these lines and you know it's really good when you read the line and you go like 'ahhh so true' - that's what usually happens to me!
So here it is.
Pic first.
Ok now for real.
Relationships fall and whither because eventually someone stops trying and it doesn't feel the same. The first couple of months or even years it may be the best thing you ever wished for, but eventually someone loses feelings, gets to busy, or doesn't even bother to try. You know why? Because they're comfortable. The beginning is all about the chase. Can you keep up? If you can then you'll get the hang of it and then you won't want to try anymore. You aren't afraid to lose them because they're yours. Arguing leads to fighting and it just gets worse from there. It all flashes by so fast. So, cherish what you have.
Because they're comfortable. The beginning is all about the chase. ...
Have you ever thought this way? Most people, including me have always thought that being comfortable is a good thing. That is actually a good thing. It means you can be yourself when you're with him/her, but, that doesn't mean you take him/her for granted. That's what most people, and again including me forget about. We get used to having them around that we often forgot to let them know they're worth fighting for.

Water Department
Meet Our Water Crew
From Left: Ryan Fountain, Chuck Murphy, Gene Majors (Supervisor), Quintin Schmohe, Justin Gibson, Doug Epperson
Throughout the year, the water crew is busy maintaining and repairing city water lines. Maintaining the water supply to customers involves several responsibilities such as:
• Maintenance and repair to water mains and services
• Installation of water mains and services
• Maintenance of fire hydrants for fire protection
• Installation of water service for new construction
• Meter change-outs
• Valve change-outs
• Occasional maintenance of water towers and pumps
The crew is responsible for these tasks year-round. However, during months of low temperature, the crew can be found repairing frozen water meters along with broken water pipes.
Hydrant Flushing
Periodically, the HBPW water crew will release water from fire hydrants. Hydrant flushing is necessary to make sure adequate flow and pressure is available. Flushing is also done to remove any sediment from the pipes in order to maintain water clarity and quality in the distributing pipes. Occasionally water becomes discolored after hydrant flushing. If this happens, run cold tap water for a few minutes until the water clears.
Education and Training
Each member of the water crew is a certified pipefitter, of which there are three levels – A, B, & C. Each is also required to maintain a level 1, 2, or 3 Distribution System License and have a certain amount of hours of training they need to maintain their license. Along with these certifications, the HBPW holds multiple trainings throughout the year that encourages continued education.
Meet Our Meter Department
From Left: Connie Quinn, Nick Ferry, Bill Dye
The HBPW Meter Department is responsible for maintaining and repairing all residential, commercial, and industrial meters for all HBPW customers. This involves:
- Daily connecting and disconnecting of electric and water meters
- GPS and mapping of water lines
Water Treatment Plant

*Water Treatment Facility - Riverview Park*
Hannibal's original Water Treatment Plant (Filter Plant) was built in 1879. Major improvements to the Plant were made in 1924, 1965 and 1995. Upon completion of the improvements in 1995, the plant was able to meet current water regulation standards, and the finished water capacity was increased to 7.5 million gallons per day. Since that time the plant has been improved to address specific issues that had arisen either from regulatory requirements or to address process deficiencies. Some of these improvements included the addition of air scour to the filters, replacement of gas chlorine with liquid sodium hypochlorite, replacement of the transfer pumps, and the construction of a new clearwell.
New EPA regulations have caused the Hannibal Board of Public Works to perform an extensive regulatory review of the Water Treatment Plant and major improvements are underway to meet these new regulations as well as update the Plant's aged infrastructure.

Coming up on Friday 14th October at the first of our regular Revue shows, we're delighted to have newcomer Hannah Lavery in our first ever 'Flint & Pitch Floorspot"! This part of the event is to showcase the best up-and-coming voices on the spoken word scene, and Hannah is definitely that! Chris Scott spoke to her about her influences, how she feels about the show, and much more! Tickets for the Revue can be bought here: http://bit.ly/2c6h1X3
CS: As a relative newcomer to the scene, can you give our audience an idea of
your background?
HL: Okay….Yikes!… I am an Edinburgh girl living in a wee town in East Lothian, I am a mother of three… thrilled to be out the house…and of course, a whole heap more. I am a writer, a hat I have been trying on and taking off, trying on, taking off for a while. Over the last three years I have been writing, performing, and developing my work, especially the work of my first show and pamphlet, The Drift. This year, feels like the time to finally take it out and share it with more audiences.
CS: The poems in The Drift deal with issues that are very prevalent for Flint & Pitch's collaborative
show with the Scottish Mental Health Arts & Film Festival. Can you tell us more?
HL: Indeed. The Drift is the work of the last two years, poems written in the avalanche of grief; the disorientation and grief that buried me after my father suddenly died in 2014. It is all of that, all the black night of losing a parent, and for me, losing a parent I never really had. It's really about all of the things I let go of and held on to as I was digging myself out…I think… but maybe it's best for others to say what it is…I am maybe not the one to ask.
CS: As someone who writes poetry, prose, and plays, your writing and performances crosses
boundaries. Is there one of these artforms that you enjoy creating work in over others, or are all
an equal focus as your writing develops?
HL: No, not really any reason. It just happens that way. I didn't realise I was crossing boundaries to be honest! I've never really followed any route as such, I left school at 16, started to write poems and plays whilst working night shifts, never with any ambition apart from avoiding the madness. I never realised you couldn't just write whatever youwanted to, a play, a poem, a story, but maybe I should stick with one for a bit, see if I can get a proper hold, although, I am not sure I will… I don't think I will.
CS: You founded a Literary Festival (CoastWord, in Dunbar), which not many people
can say. What led to you to that?
HL: CoastWord or, as it was at first, The Wee Fest of Words, is a micro fest in Sunny Dunbar. It was at first a mad idea to have some local poets and musicians talking, a choir singing with poets on the harbour, a poem or two in the local park, it was never a 'literary festival' as such, it was just me and my double buggy, doing some 'wordy thing' for Civic Week and now four years later and joined by local poet Roy Moller, musicians Carey Lunan and John Hardman and the great Colin Will it has developed into weekend of delights, spoken word at the heart of it, with workshops, and lots of wonderful music. It is a beautiful thing. In 2017 we are looking at our links with Newcastle and with our two wonderful writers in residence, Catherine Simpson and Kirsty Law we have much to look forward to.
CS: How do you feel about being part of the first regular Flint & Pitch Revue line-up?
HL: I am thrilled, absolutely delighted to have been given such an opportunity and what an amazing line-up to be part of, and also the Revue as part The Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival feels really important. My recent writing about grief is at times hard to share because it feels so unsaid, so unwelcome and so I am honoured and really grateful to be given the platform.
CS: And finally, tell us about some of the spoken word poets and performers who have inspired you on the scene?
Get your tickets to catch Hannah alongside Harry Giles, Chitra Ramaswamy, Finn LeMarinel and Jo Mango! Jenny Lindsay comperes. £6. http://bit.ly/2c6h1X3

When it comes to senior portraits, things have really changed since I was in high school. I remember bringing two sweaters and selecting two backgrounds in a studio. I went by myself to a studio in a strip mall. The images were okay, but I didn't have a lot of input. See photo right. Janet circa 1987 (and Yes I liked The Cure).
These days a senior session is something to be celebrated. Planning and preparation are key. Sessions last 1-3 hours depending on the senior and their interests. We start in the studio then head out to other locations. Quick clothing changes in the back of a minivan or makeshift dressing room.
I have a makeup/hair stylist available for an even more finished look.
The sessions are fun and creative. Even the most resistant seniors (i.e., boys) almost always telling me that they had a good time during the session.
Unfortunately in the Mid-west, senior season is limited mostly from April-September. In Southern states they can photograph outside almost year round. So we do a high volume of work in a very short time. Some schools still bring in a photographer and just do a standard head shot. It gets the job done but not very fun.
After photographing seniors for the past 10 years, I have come up with many tips and suggestions.
Janet's Top 10 Tips for Senior Sessions:
1. Share your ideas w ith your photographer! I love to hear about special interests and ways to make them unique and personal.
2. Bring too much! I would rather help you go over wardrobe and pick the best pieces that photograph well then have you bring just a few things that may or may not work.
3. ACCESSORIZE. Bring lots of jewelry, scarves, shoes......
4. Don't over tan or burn right before your session. Avoid dark tan lines or pealing skin.
5. Practice hair and makeup before your session. Look for photos online that you like and try to replicate.
6. Try to be a bit organized with your outfits to make sure you have shoes, jewelry... that you like together. Nothing like missing an earring at the last minute.
7. Makeup. Girls bring powder to reduce shiny faces. Many sessions get a little warm especially outside. A little powder can take down the shine. Lip color. Most of us don't have a lot of color in our lips and they tend to blend in with our skin. So a little lip color is good for contrast. I try to have a few samples on hand for seniors to use, but it is better to have a color that you have picked out and feel good about.
8. Try to get a good night's sleep the night before your session and drink water. You will look and feel better if you are refreshed and well hydrated.
9. Pets are great but they need a little grooming too. Make sure they are brushed and eyes are cleaned. I usually have clients walk their pet around in the yard a few times before they come in to avoid accidents and help calm their fury friends.
10. Don't be afraid to be different. This is a special time for you to express yourself. When you look back 10, 20+ years from now, you can appreciate your favorite dog, beautiful prom dress, or stacks of Harry Potter Books. And as much as the session is about the senior, it is also about mom and dad. I like to have them along and sometimes even put them to work holding a reflector or flash. It is a fun day to share together and something you will all remember.

Within aristocratic circles in Europe and the American colonies, a fashionable silhouette in the second half of the 18th century included a dress supported with panniers, or "side buckets" as they were often called, to produce the desired width of the dress. Towering hairstyles decorated with exotic plumes, laces, ribbons, and jewels were popular and gave prominence to the overall silhouette of the wearer.

Well it is Valentine's Day once again, the day when the V and the D come together. Anyone else ever find it funny that the acronym for Valentine's Day is V.D, which is the same as Venereal Disease? Anyway I'm mostly just using V.D (Valentines and not Venereal) to set up a post, rather than have it be all about it. I'm sure you're probably going to be pretty sick of V.D posts. I on the other hand just have a bit of love advice out there. That's right folks, I can actually be considered an expert on love. The same way the Pope can be considered an expert on sex.
Ya see, there was a time when I would tell myself, of my partner, "I trust you, just not everyone else." Which basically means "I don't think you'll cheat but I know everyone is going to hit on you" and it also has the hidden message of "deep down I'm slightly worried flattery will get them somewhere." That right there shows that you DON'T trust your partner. I had a friend who worked as a waitress in a bar and she told me that guys hit on her all the time and that one time, some guy actually offered to do her in the back of his pickup truck that was parked outside. She flatly refused them because she was in a relationship at the time. Normal people suck, there's no doubt about that, but your partner isn't about to up and cheat on you because they do. If you really trust your partner, then your trust of everyone else doesn't matter. No matter what, said partner isn't going to do anything.
So this Valentines Day, and every other day thereafter, remember to treat your partner with respect, love, and trust. People might flirt with, or come on to, your partner but it means very little because they, your partner themselves, would never act on it. They're typically grossed out by it if my friends are any indication.
Well that's enough from me really.

So so true Adam. Without trust, the relationship cannot possibly survive.ReplyDelete
"Normal people suck, there's no doubt about that..."ReplyDelete
You see, that's the kind of cheerful, life-affirming, positive thinking I love about this time of year! I didn't need a Valentine because good old fashioned misanthropy is my beau. You should have come too. We could have stuck forks in things and make jokes about the 'tines' part of Valentines.
i like the message in the end....VD haha...ReplyDelete
def treat your partner with respect, give trust,
give reason for trust....
Yes I agree a good relationship needs trustReplyDelete
Kind of sad how insecure and petty some people can be.ReplyDelete

About Me
Hello! My name is Markus Klinger. I work online in internet sales. I use to work in the computer retail industry in sales and technical support (including software, consumer electronics, cell phones, pagers and office equipment) for nearly 18 years.
But that is not the highlight of my life. What means more to me, is the various paranormal events I experienced at different stages of my life. Now, I won't get into it all here, but there is alot of grounds to cover historically speaking personal wise. But I can appreciate anyone with their own paranormal experiences. Including UFO encounter I had July 2nd 1979 in Northern Ontario top part of Lake Superior between Ste Saint Marie and Thunder Bay.
When I find time to type it all out, I will get into details later about it.
But I also really have gotten to enjoy subjects of self-developement as you can see from
my website at http://www.prosperity-portal.info (lots of videos there to watch! Enjoy!)
And would appreciate your feedback!
Finally, I am a Father of 8 children (all from one marriage, one wife).
I've been married since June 26th 1993. My wife is from the Philippines.
And my heritage is GERMAN. My parents immigrated to Canada November 1952.
I am the youngest of 4. They were all born in the 1950's. I became incarnated in this
life September 1966. My western astrological sign is VIRGO, and my Eastern Chinese Zodiac sign is Fire HORSE!
I love to cook, and bake if you believe it. While my brothers were watching football,
I was always in the kitchen helping my German mother.
While I am proud to be Canadian, I will not forget my German heritage.
I will tell more later!
You can see me and my family at my blog:
I will add more content here as time goes by.
Have a very Merry Christmas!

These Forums Have Moved
The Komodo forums have moved to a new home at community.komodoide.com, please head over there to post your topics!
Note that the new forums are a fresh start - you will have to register a new account.
The old-style manuals had a useful FAQ for PPM. It can still be accessed, and still applies with newer version numbers.
Malformed byte sequence error is encountered when tbc is sourced.
I have installed tclpro1.4.1 on my windows and converted a tcl file to tbc and copied it to RHEL6 environment and sourced it in that environment and I have encountered malformed byte sequence error.
Can someone please help me here?
I was wondering if there is a supported version of Active Perl for the armv71/Raspbian architecture and OS? Are there any plans in the future?
Hi, I tried to install ActivePerl on Linux ( 64 bit ). I got the following error.
perl/bin/perl: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by perl/bin/perl)
Please let me know the solution.
What is ActiveState's Support Policy for Community Editions?
The two most recent stable releases are available for free download. This corresponds to the Perl Community's own version support policy.
Whenever the underlying Perl version becomes unsupported by the Perl community itself, support for the corresponding ActivePerl versions will be limited to Business Edition and Enterprise Edition customers.
You can continue to use older ActivePerl releases indefinitely under the terms of the Community Edition license, but won't be able to download the installers from ActiveState.
The PPM repositories for unsupported ActivePerl releases will remain freely accessible for at least 6 months after support ends, but will no longer be updated with new builds from CPAN.
In my source code .pl, I put the following code to change the value of $ 0 to change the arguments:
($ 0 = "$ 0argv") = ~ s / p \ s + \ w + \ s / x /;
This works for me to run normally With PERL, but when I package with PerlApp, just change the name of the process and maintains the grounds. I need to change everything with arguments.
Someone could help me?
Komodo won't start on linux, complains about gdk_window_get_visual symbol
On certain older (mostly RedHat based) linux distros Komodo will fail to start with the following error:
undefined symbol: gdk_window_get_visual
To fix this error you simply need to install the "gdk-pixbuf2" package. The name varies per distro, but searching for "pixbuf" should get you the right package name.
When I run the installer, it reports that several files are corrupted. I see this error:
This installer package does not have the expected content. Please try to download a fresh copy of ActivePerl from ActiveState's website at activestate.com. If you still have problems please contact us at SupportEmail.
How do I fix this?
---Updated 03/18:
This FAQ applies to ALL ActivePerl Linux tarball installers.
A link to a current version has been specified solely for convenience
Trash the ActivePerl folder you extracted. Download a fresh copy, and do not open the Download with the Linux Archive Manager.
Archive Managers use an incompatible algorithm.
Go to a Terminal Window, and extract the file on the command line, using GNUtar instead:
The TDK's Tcl Debugger provides a nice graphical view of code coverage, and can export a report to CSV file. All good.
However, it seems to be a purely interactive tool - I can't see any way to automate running some Tcl code and getting a code coverage report file.
We'd like to use our Continuous Integration tools (such as Maven and Sonar) on our Tcl codebase which means we need some way to automate code coverage report generation.
My questions are:
I took a look at http://code.activestate.com/ppm/MCE/ and see that the 1.504 build failed for Linux (64-bit). But the reason doesn't appear to be coming from MCE. It looks like it was fine for 1.503 though.

I was a bit late for work this morning. Not because I overslept, not because I couldn't find my y-fronts and not because I caught my willy in my zip again. I was late for work for a very good reason.This is another one of those boring posts that I'm publishing simply because I want to share this on the internet, so I apologise in advance.
I was late because amongst the birds all feeding in my garden this morning were a pair of white doves. They've visited me before and I did get a grainy picture of them on my camera phone once but I've been dying to get a decent photo,
I watched them for a minute and wondered whether or not to go upstairs to fetch the camera. The likelihood was that they would disappear just as I returned, but I figured I had nothing to lose, so off I trotted.
I returned and the two white doves were still there, much to my surprise, so I managed to get some photos of them. At one point, one of them started to hop towards me (see the second photo) before taking flight and perching on the roof of my house, where I managed to get another few photos before he flew off; note the lovely, blue sky in the last two photos.
For those of you still reading this, here are 4 of the photos I took this morning and which made me late for work.

Giffen Group was appointed the Electrical Contractor for this project, following a competitive tendering process. The work, which is classified as an enhanced refurbishment, and is part of the on-going investment by London Underground in upgrading the Tube Network, incorporates all electrical and fire alarm installations at Warren Street Station.

There are a number of weekend station closures planned during the contract period and these are being utilised to carry out works (drilling etc in certain areas) that cannot be carried out at nights as Section 61 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 is applicable to the project.

Electrical & fire alarm works generally including:
- Medium voltage switchgear and distribution boards

- Sub-mains cabling
- Primary & secondary cable management systems for electrical services, communications systems, fire alarms and third party cable systems

One of Mackenzie Love's ultimate goals is to win a PIAA championship with the rest of her Lake-Lehman girls soccer teammates.
But in the meanwhile, she has a significant scoring milestone she can celebrate.
Love scored her 100th career goal on Tuesday as part of a four-goal performance in a 9-0 victory over Meyers. For her accomplishment, the senior has been selected as The Citizens' Voice Athlete of the Week.
Love recently spoke to us about her milestone goal and the rest of the WVC season.
Q: What does it mean to you to reach 100 goals in your high school career?
A: It's really cool because that was one of my goals, so I feel really accomplished and excited.
Q: What happened on the play you scored?
A: Our other forward Amanda (Ayers) made a through ball, and I ran past the defense and tapped it right by the goalie.
Q: For you, what feels better: scoring a goal or setting up a teammate?
A: Both. It all depends on the game, and with all the goals I've scored, I'm not selfish. Whatever the best play is, you've gotta go for it.
Q: Your team plays in such a tough division. How does it feel for you to help the team out so much with the competition so high?
A: It feels special, because my team looks up to me. And when we're down, they look to me to bring everybody back up. But it's more than just scoring — it's the bond we have among the team that just gets everybody pumped up.
Q: What's the mindset going forward for you and the team?
A: One of my two biggest goals is beating my coach's (Kelly Adamshick) school record. I'm not sure what it is, exactly. I think 118, something around there. The other goal is getting a championship a state championship, and we're all gunning for that. I'm really excited to see where this season brings us as a team.

Billy Grant's restaurants, Grants in West Hartford and Bricco Trattoria in Glastonbury, were the place to be if you were seeking a star-sighting over the long holiday weekend.
On Wednesday, Brooke Burke of "Dancing with the Stars" fame (she was Season 7 winner with partner Derek Hough and now co-hosts with Tom Bergeron) was at the Glastonbury location with friends and family after the "Dancing With the Stars" finale aired with Jennifer Grey and Hough (again) winning the coveted mirror ball.
And on Friday, former NBA players and now ESPN personalities Jalen Rose and Jon Barry were seen dining at Grants.
