Admittedly, choosing a wedding venue is often one of the important items to check off on your wedding planning list. Wedding venues play a focal role in setting the tone of the wedding. When Chosen correctly, they become the aesthetic foundation on which the rest of the wedding style and decision are built. As a result, it is important to take time and research so that you choose the best venue hire for wedding.
However, Apart from all the emotions and excitement that comes with the early stages of wedding planning, choosing a wedding venue can be somewhat challenging and daunting. With the numerous wedding venues to choose from and various factors to consider, it is easy to get overwhelmed. Fortunately, this article provides you with some insightful tips that will point you in the right direction on how to choose an ideal wedding venue.
Consider Your Wedding Budget
First, before you even begin your hunt for the best wedding venue, it is important that you make a draft budget. Never get carried away by the wedding excitement and sign a contract with an expensive venue only to realize down the line that you have no money left for other important aspects of your wedding such as the DJ. When coming up with a budget for your wedding venue, it is wise to consider the number of guests you have invited.
Consider Your Wedding Style
Another important tip that will point you in the right direction when choosing a wedding venue is your wedding style. When it comes to style, there are various wedding venues that offer different options.
If you are looking for a traditionally themed wedding, venues like hotels and country houses can be an ideal choice. On the other hand, if you want a non-traditional venue, then you can opt for art galleries, restaurants, museums, or even a boat. It is important to make sure that the wedding venue you choose offers you flexibility in terms of décor and styling.
Consider Your Catering Needs
Apparently, many of today's couples are food-savvy and are willing to serve their guests a very specific menu. It is hence important to consider your wedding catering needs because there are some venues that will not allow you to bring in your own caterer. However, if you don't have any specific catering needs, you can opt for a venue that provides you with an in-house catering menu
Driving and Traffic Consideration
Given that there will be some guest that will be travelling a considerable distance by car, you can save your guest a lot of time and trouble by choosing a wedding venue that is easily accessible. If your guests are travelling from far, make sure that their accommodations are ready and easily accessible from the wedding venue.
Different venues will have different levels of privacy. If you opt for a having a daytime event in public spots such as a beach or a park, don't be surprised when strangers trek past your party. If you don't fancy the idea of strangers walking past your event, then you can opt for a lawn ion a private estate or a golf course.

Hundreds of years after aliens visit an archaeological site in Egypt, a mysterious object approaches Earth…
Luc Besson's The Fifth Element is one of those movies which benefit from the big screen, and the Blu-ray edition now finally comes as close as we're likely to get with a digital transfer to the richness of the colours and textures that Besson created. Make sure you get the new edition – the old one was rightly panned for the poor quality of its transfer.
There's much to praise about the film itself, with arresting performances from Bruce Willis, Chris Rock, Gary Oldman, Ian Holm and Milla Jovovich, and a whole society brought to life in a very different way from usual. The quality of the movie is matched now by the extras, which include a behind-the-scenes documentary, Discovering the Fifth Element, that doesn't hold back on the film's strengths and weaknesses. A visual effects commentary and features on the art and style of the movie give ample consideration to the technical side.
Verdict: A feast for the eyes that now has the extras it deserves. 8/10

A presidential race will not come between them.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush vowed Tuesday that he would not criticize his friend, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, though the two men will likely go head to head for the Republican presidential nomination.
"He is my friend, and I care for him a lot," Bush told reporters after speaking at the Ohio Chamber of Commerce annual meeting in Columbus. "I really admire him a lot."
Bush went on to say that he's "not good at playing like I'm something I'm not," and that he wouldn't think of going negative against Rubio in a campaign. "I am his friend, and he's mine, and I'm never going to disparage him," Bush added.
For his part, Rubio has been equally kind to his prospective rival.
"Jeb is my friend. He is still my friend. He will continue to be," Rubio told ABC News on Monday. "We'll continue to be friends. I have tremendous admiration for him. I'm not running against Jeb Bush and I hope he's not running against me. We are competing for the same job.
Bush also had nice things to say when asked about Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a two-term Republican who is thinking seriously about running for president and is visiting South Carolina and New Hampshire later this week.
Following Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment, that thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican, Bush called Kasich a good friend he admires who has been "a very effective governor for Ohio." Bush said he called Kasich to let him know he would be speaking in Ohio.
"We're all going through our own processes to determine whether we're going to run or not," Bush said. "I'm sure John's doing that right now."
Bush declined to comment directly on former Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton and Rubio getting in the race, and he downplayed any coming friction as what's expected to be a large field battles for the Republican nomination.
"We're a fractious conservative movement, and we're a fractious party. There's no need to sugar coat that," he said. "That's OK though, as long as we stay focused on the bigger and broader issues and are more hopeful and optimistic and less angry, if you will, then I think Republicans are going to win in 2016."

Tips for dads this Mother's Day
1. The world's simplest gift
Most moms would agree, the best gift there is in the world, is the chance to lie in. That's it – just lie in. No tiny humans bouncing on the bed demanding toast or television. To start the perfect Mother's Day, sneak out of the room, leaving your wife alone in her slumber. Close the door and make sure that the children don't disturb her. Leave her to lie in until confusion overcomes her and she bolts out of the room to check that her family is all still alive.
2. The gifting guideline
Mother's Day is often confused as the day on which children thank their mothers. In actual fact, it's the day that we ALL thank our mothers. So dads, take heed: You need to purchase or create a little gift of your own for the special mom in your life.
Not just your own mom, but also the mother of
your children. In addition, you'll be expected to facilitate the process of your kids buying or creating gifts.
3. Little notes of adoration
A small and very simple show of affection is to write little notes and leave them in places that mom will find them. Notes with wording like 'We love you' or 'Thanks for all you do for us' are thoughtful ways of showing how you feel. Get your kids to design them for an extra special touch.
4. Acts of love
Make your lovely lady a cup of tea, or even better – draw her a hot bubble bath.
5. Write it down
Take the time to translate your thoughts and those of your kids about why mom is so special onto a card. Let her read it and then put it away for reading a year or ten years from now – this will be an amazing surprise for her.

A common albeit bowdlerized statement of the Hippocratic Oath is, "First, do no harm".

By: Lisa Marie Vari
Divorces can be very drawn out fights and a very emotional time especially when the marriage produced children. In Pennsylvania there is a presumption of joint custody and shared responsibilities between the parents. When the court allows both parents to share in the decision making responsibilities for their children, they often use the term co-parenting to describe how these parents must work together. With a co-parenting plan you are expected to put aside any feelings you have toward your ex for the betterment of your child. Here are some pieces of advice given by divorcees that are working toward having a successful co-parenting relationship with their ex.
1. Children need both parents and they need them to get along. Consider your ex a business partner so that you can co-parent in a civil manner, teaching your children how to create healthy relationships in hardships. If you feel the need to vent about your ex do so to your friends not your children. Putting your children's feelings first will show them that they always come first and will ensure that they continue to have a healthy relationship with both their parents.
2. Come up with a set of rules that you and your ex agree with so that your children have a consistent set of rules in both homes. This will keep your children from playing both sides because they will know that what is not allowed at mom's house is also not allowed at dad's house. It also keeps you and your ex on an even playing field, keeping either of you from being able to blame the other for the way in which your children are acting.
3. Try not to be judgmental about your ex's parenting style. Your children will be a reflection of both of you so if you become judgmental about their parenting style due to the way that your child is acting they can quickly turn it around and question your parenting style. This will only lead to bitterness between the parents and will not be beneficial for the children. Just remember you are both doing the best you can, which is all that can be expected of each of you.
4. You must keep the lines of communication open between you and your ex. The way in which you and your ex speak will have a profound impact on your children. Your children look up to both of you, so the way in which you manage to overcome adversity and continue to work with your ex will determine how your children emerge from the divorce. You likely will be dealing with your ex for the rest of your life, which will be uncomfortable for all parties involved if you cannot be cordial with one another.
Although co-parenting can be hard, it is likely what is best for your children. Your Pittsburgh family law attorneys at Lisa Marie Vari & Associates have drafted many co-parenting plans that have proven to be successful. If you are facing a divorce or have a custody issue contact our office today to set up a consultation so that we may be able to help you establish a parenting plan that is best for your children.

Toddler bedroom ideas could be something that you would want to brainstorm with your spouse especially when you are expecting. In order to choose the right design and room theme for your toddler, it is highly advised that you choose them carefully especially because of their sensitivity with everything surrounding them as a whole and also the temperature of the room they are in. You would have to choose the right location for your toddler's bedroom. The room has to be away from many noises that could disturb them when they are sleeping and has to be in the place that could be easily reachable by you or your spouse as parents.
Toddler bedroom ideas should not be very far from also considering the safety of your kid. This is why before decorating the room itself, you would want to make a layout planning of what you want to place inside it such as the bed, wardrobe, toys, changing table and other decorations. You would need to also consider carefully what kind of toys you are going to place inside the room. Try to choose soft toys compared to hard toys for safety reasons when they are playing with them.
Toddler bedroom ideas are usually brighter in colors especially because this could give more a sense into happiness and cheerfulness for your kid. It could also help the kid to be more comfortable being inside the room. It is also recommended for you to not put too many things (toys) inside your toddler's room because it could create a messy look for the room hence making the room look smaller. You could add few simple shelves on the corner of the room to place some of your toddler's things to make the room more organized looks tidier and also add more beauty into the room itself.

The government is committed to ensuring Ontarians receive value for their tax dollars. To this end, the Province is implementing its plan to enhance transparency and public understanding of government finances and to strengthen accountability for the spending of taxpayer dollars.
Since 2003, a high priority of the government has been to improve transparency, strengthen fiscal accountability and ensure effective financial management of public funds. One of its first actions was to introduce the Fiscal Transparency and Accountability Act, 2004 to strengthen the Province's fiscal accountability framework, provide greater transparency in budgets and improve financial reporting. It also extended the authority of the Auditor General to carry out value-for-money audits of broader public-sector (BPS) organizations that use taxpayer dollars to deliver public services, including health care and education.
Starting with the 2005–06 Public Accounts and 2006 Budget, the government improved the transparency of government finances by including the expenses of hospitals, school boards and colleges in its financial reports. In 2007, the government introduced more stringent transfer payment accountability requirements to strengthen assurance that public funds are being spent by recipient organizations for their intended purposes. In 2009, the government improved its costing practices by extending its accounting treatment for investments in depreciable assets to additional classes, including vehicles, aircraft and information technology infrastructure. This recognized that these investments support the delivery of public services over their useful lives.
Ontario, along with the federal, territorial and other provincial governments, has been working with the Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) to improve public-sector financial reporting. The aim is to ensure that Canadian public-sector accounting standards continue to support sound public policy decision-making, government fiscal accountability and the clear transparent reporting of information on government finances to the public.
Public-sector accounting standards establish how the financial activities of governments and public-sector organizations are measured, recorded and reported to the public. They are an essential building block for effective government decision-making, budgeting and the transparent reporting of financial information.
The government believes Ontarians, and all Canadians, need a set of public-sector accounting standards that accomplishes the following goals:
Ontario and the other governments in Canada are concerned that changes PSAB recently proposed to accounting standards are inconsistent with these fundamental objectives. Ontario raised these concerns with PSAB through a federal–provincial Joint Working Group of senior government and accounting standards officials. The Group identified concerns with PSAB's conceptual framework that underlies the board's development of all public-sector accounting standards in Canada.
Governments and public-sector organizations are different from private-sector organizations. These differences need to be recognized in setting accounting standards. The public, as users of private-sector financial reports, requires information for their investment decisions. The public, as users of information on public-sector finances, primarily wants to know how their tax dollars were spent and whether the books are balanced.
Accounting standards in the public sector impact government budgets as much as they do financial reports. Proposed changes in accounting standards must consider potential impacts on government budgets, fiscal policy decision-making, the accountability for expenditures of public monies, and the importance of transparency and public understanding of government finances.
The Ministers of Finance from the federal, provincial and territorial governments were recently updated on the work of the Joint Working Group at their annual meeting in December 2009.
Following the meeting, the Ministers issued a joint letter to the Chairs of the CICA Board of Directors, the Accounting Standards Oversight Council (AcSOC) and PSAB. The Ministers expressed concern that PSAB had not yet addressed the critical differences between the accounting standards requirements of the public and private sectors and the related impact on the public's understanding of government finances.
From a letter dated February 17, 2010, signed by Colin Hansen, Minister of Finance and Deputy Premier, Province of British Columbia, on behalf of the Ministers of Finance to the Chairs of the CICA, PSAB, and AcSOC.
"Governments are responsible to ensure the public has relevant and understandable information on government finances and the stewardship of public funds. We are concerned about the broad application of private sector concepts to Government public sector reporting.... [This has] significant implications for the complexity of government financial statements and for the ease with which the public obtains the information they need to assess the financial resources of government and their stewardship."
The CICA prescribes four different sets of accounting standards for use in the public sector in Canada:
In 2011, the CICA will introduce another set, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Each of these sets of standards measures, records and reports public-sector financial results differently. This results in public-sector organizations reporting different financial results in similar circumstances. This distorts transparency and fiscal accountability for the expenditure of public monies.
There is a need for PSAB to establish a consistent set of accounting standards for all public-sector organizations in Canada as soon as possible. In the interim, the Ontario government will provide direction to provincial government organizations and enterprises to ensure consistent transparent financial reporting and fiscal accountability are sustained throughout Ontario's public sector.
As an initial step, the government is providing direction to school boards to ensure accounting for capital contributions is consistent with the current practice of senior governments in Canada and other major broader public-sector organizations (hospitals, colleges and universities). This will ensure that their current operating surpluses or deficits are not distorted by capital grant revenues.
The government will also consult with municipalities to ensure a consistent application of capital accounting throughout the municipal sector in Ontario. This will ensure consistency with the current practice of senior governments in Canada and the other major broader public sectors.
More broadly, the government plans to consult with financial officials and the auditors of public-sector organizations throughout Ontario. The objectives of these consultations will be to ensure that the accounting standards meet the needs of the public for consistent understandable information on public-sector finances, and support sound fiscal decision-making and accountability on how public monies are spent.
Another important area is the continued application of rate-regulated accounting practices by government organizations and business enterprises in Ontario. In light of increased uncertainty regarding the future of rate-regulated accounting under IFRS and the need to ensure consistency with the decisions of regulatory authorities in Ontario, the government may need to take action to ensure the financial reports of rate-regulated entities continue to meet user needs.
Ontario, together with other governments, also continues to be concerned with PSAB proposals to record market-value "paper" gains and losses on financial instruments in public-sector financial results. Governments generally borrow long term to finance government investments and do not trade financial instruments for short-term market gains. Over the long-term period until government financial instruments mature, market values can vary considerably. However, there is no impact on public expenditures until financial instruments mature. Public understanding of government finances would be better served by continuing to include only actual realized gains and losses in public-sector expenses and disclosing current market-value information in the notes to government financial statements.
Starting with this Budget, certain revenues and expenses will be presented differently for improved transparency in reporting. These presentation changes do not impact the Province's annual surplus or deficit results or accumulated deficit.
For greater transparency in its financial reporting, the government is presenting education property taxes together with other tax revenues in its financial reports. Education property taxes are provincial revenues that support school boards throughout the province. This change is consistent with PSAB's recently issued standard for tax revenues and its requirements for consolidation of broader public-sector organizations.
Under the presentation change:
The following chart illustrates the change in presentation of school board sector revenues and expenses for 2010–11.
As announced in the 2009 Budget, the government has enhanced and separated its refundable property and sales tax credits. People file personal income tax returns to apply for these credits. Although these tax credits are administered through the personal income tax system, they are intended to reduce property and sales taxes that people have previously paid.
Starting with this Budget, the property and sales tax credits are being treated as reductions of the specific taxes previously paid rather than as reductions of personal income taxes. This change is consistent with PSAB's new tax revenue standard.
The following chart illustrates the change in presentation of these refundable tax credits for 2010–11.
The government provides over $40 billion annually to Ontario's hospitals, school boards and colleges. Since the 2006 Budget, these BPS organizations have been included in the government's consolidated financial statements.
With this Budget, the government is including the net debt of hospitals, school boards and colleges in the Province's Consolidated Net Debt (see Table 3 in Chapter IV). This change in presentation is consistent with revised PSAB standards. Previously, the net debt of these organizations was included with the Province's investment in BPS net assets.
The following chart illustrates the change in presentation of tangible capital assets and net debt for hospitals, school boards and colleges for 2010–11.
As part of continuing efforts to strengthen the financial management, transparency and accountability of Ontario's ministries and agencies, the government is enhancing existing policies and processes to improve accountability, oversight and reporting. To support these changes, it is also further bolstering the Financial Administration Act.
The government has taken major steps to strengthen assurance that Ontario's ministries and government agencies are spending taxpayer dollars wisely. It has recently introduced strict new guidelines on procurement and business expenses. In addition, the government is increasing the transparency of public reporting of expenses and the accountability of agencies for compliance with government policies.
Consistent with past improvements to strengthen accountability for transfer payments, the Province has revised accountability policies for government agencies. The revision will strengthen ministry oversight and clarify the responsibilities of the 255 classified agencies in Ontario for compliance with government policies.
The government has also revised procurement policies for ministries and agencies to ensure they follow open competitive practices when acquiring goods, services and consulting services. In addition, revised travel, meal and hospitality policies are being put in place. They set out clear mandatory standards for eligible expenses incurred by government, ministry and agency staff while on business. They restrict reimbursement of staff for hospitality expenses, as well as payment of consultant expenses incurred for hospitality. To strengthen compliance, increased audits of ministry and agency expenses are also being undertaken. Furthermore, travel and hospitality expenses of senior government and agency officials will be publicly reported on a government website starting April 1, 2010.1
In the 2009 Budget, Ontario announced a two-year investment in capital infrastructure to help stimulate the economy and create jobs across Ontario. To ensure these public funds are spent wisely by recipient organizations, the government applied strong control measures consistent with other capital programs. These controls ensure that funds are spent for the intended purpose to achieve expected results.
In 2008, through the Investing in Ontario Act, the Province provided $1.1 billion to 445 municipalities to invest in their capital priority areas. The government continues to invest in municipal capital priorities. Accountability for the use of public funds continues to be an important part of Investing in Ontario Act funding and other municipal infrastructure program funding. Municipalities or local services boards that receive funding for capital projects are required to report back to the Province on the use of the funds received, are subject to audit and may be required to repay funding if amounts are found to have been used inappropriately.
Ontarians can now also track the progress of the infrastructure stimulus projects in their community and across the province on the Revitalizing Ontario's Infrastructure website.2 Launched in November 2009 by the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, the website offers greater transparency to Ontario residents by providing regular updates regarding federal–provincial infrastructure stimulus funding, highlighting the provincial contribution towards projects, tracking construction progress and providing information on new investments. As well, Infrastructure Ontario's website provides regular updates on the government's major infrastructure projects that are being delivered through alternative financing and procurement contracts.3
The government provides over $40 billion annually in grants to Ontario's hospitals, school boards and colleges. In addition, these BPS organizations receive direct revenues from the public, such as tuition fees, donations and other recoveries that are dedicated to their delivery of specific public services.
The BPS organizations are accountable for managing the expenses of their operations and balancing these expenses, net of their dedicated revenues, with the provincial grant revenues they receive to fund their operations each year. This bottom-line accountability structure for controlling the costs of BPS organizations ensures clear accountability for the expenditure of taxpayer dollars.
The following table illustrates this accountability structure for the total expenses of hospitals, school boards and colleges in Ontario:
|Total Expenses
|Fees, Donations and Other Recoveries
|Provincial Grant Revenues1
The government has taken steps to enhance the quality and transparency of disclosures under the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act, 1996. Starting with the disclosure of 2009 salaries, the government will include the salaries of individuals earning over $100,000 who are seconded to government ministries from public-sector organizations.
The disclosure of 2009 salaries will be posted on the Ministry of Finance website on March 31, 2010.4
Over the last few years the government has put in place the building blocks of effective asset management — first, with the accounting for investment in major assets, such as land, buildings, transportation and infrastructure as tangible capital assets in 2003, and then with the extension of this policy in 2009 to other assets owned by the Province including vehicles, aircraft and information technology infrastructure.
Starting with the Province's 2009–10 fiscal year, the government also modified its existing tangible capital asset accounting policy to include the capitalization of interest costs incurred during construction as part of the total cost. With the adoption of this accounting treatment, interest costs incurred during construction will be amortized over the estimated useful lives of tangible capital assets along with other costs of construction, rather than being expensed during the period of construction. This approach is consistent with PSAB accounting principles.
The government borrows money to build new infrastructure such as roads, hospitals and schools, and to fund annual operating deficits. The Province's net debt is composed of provincial debt, less cash and temporary investments, plus the net debt of the BPS and adjustments for changes in other financial assets and liabilities.
Increases in net debt result in increased interest costs, which squeeze the overall amount of funding available for future health care, education and social programs. Accordingly, it is important to manage the levels of government borrowing.
To ensure the sustainability of its financial plan, the government is taking action to curtail the rate of growth in the Provincial debt. First, the government plans to reduce and eliminate the deficit by fiscal 2017–18. Second, the government is carefully managing its infrastructure investment priorities to ensure an effective balance of economic stimulus investments with the level of increased debt. By deferring some capital investments, the Province is mitigating pressure on its borrowing requirements. This approach will help to reduce the rate of debt growth and increases in associated borrowing cost.
As part of continuing efforts to improve financial management and reporting transparency, the government is proposing a number of amendments to the Financial Administration Act (FAA).
First, it is proposing to amend the definition of "ministry" in the FAA to clarify the application of the FAA and related directives, policies and guidelines to include all corporations that are owned, operated or controlled by the Crown. Similar amendments to the Management Board of Cabinet Act are also proposed. In addition, amendments will be proposed to the FAA and other related statutes to clarify the government's authority to direct the organizations that are included in the Province's consolidated accounts on which accounting policies are to be applied in the preparation of their financial statements.
To support the implementation of the Harmonized Sales Tax, the government proposes to amend the FAA to authorize the Minister of Finance and the Lieutenant Governor in Council to issue certain payments or credits to a person, where it is determined to be in the public interest, in respect of the provincial component of the tax paid under Part IX of the Excise Tax Act (Canada).
To clarify the characterization of money received for a special purpose, the government is proposing to amend the FAA to define such money as public money unless declared otherwise by another statute.
To ensure reporting transparency regarding operating expenditures for school boards, the government is proposing to amend the FAA to introduce a new class of non-cash expenses for operating grants for school boards related to the education property tax. This would allow the funding of school boards from education property tax to be reflected in the Ministry of Education's estimates.
The government will also introduce the Supplementary Interim Appropriation for 2010–2011 Act, 2009 to supplement the Interim Appropriation for 2010–2011 Act, 2009 to provide the balance of interim legal spending authority anticipated for 2010–11 spending. All expenditures under the proposed Act would have to be authorized, the Printed Estimates approved by the legislature, and the proposed Act be repealed once the Supply Act for the 2010–11 fiscal year is enacted.

Preparing for the needs assessment
2 Checklist for areas that might be covered in the needs assessment
It is important that your relative explains not only what is going on, but how their health affects them.
If you wish to download this checklist, please scroll down to the foot of the page and click on our PDF link.
Medical needs
- What medical problems do they have currently or have had in the past?

About your relative
- Your relative's point of view: what are the problems and issues in their own words?
- Have they had any falls?
- What do they want?
- Where do they want to live? For example, if your relative needs to be in a care home in a particular area to maintain relationships with family and friends, this can be classed as a need, so it is important to ensure you cover this in the assessment. If the only homes available in that area are more expensive than the area where your relative lives, then the local authority where your relative has been assessed should pay the additional cost.
- Are they able to take care of themselves?
- What is their diet like? Do they eat regular meals?
- Do they drink or smoke?
- Do they take regular exercise?
- Are there any hobbies and interests that they wish to maintain?
- Do their mental or physical health problems pose a risk to other people's safety?

About their living conditions
- Are they able to look after their home?
- Is their accommodation suitable for their needs?
- Do they have a carer or someone who looks after them?
- What relationships do they have/wish to maintain with people around them?

These songs by Eric Church, Brad Paisley and Brooks & Dunn are no exception and talk about our favorite topic – country music! Eric Church's "Country Music Jesus" was on his 2013 live album "Caught in the Act." It was written by Eric and Jeremy Spillman but never released as a single. Brad Paisley's "This Is Country Music" was released in December 2010 and was included on his eighth studio album, "This Is Country Music," released on May 23, 2011. The song peaked at No. 2 on the country charts. Brad was co-writer with Chris DuBois on the single. Brooks & Dunn's "Play Something Country" was released in June 2005 as the first single from the duo's album "Hillbilly Deluxe." It was co-written by Ronnie Dunn and Terry McBride and became the 20th No. 1 hit of the duo's career. I hope you'll join us next week as we slow things down in a great Triple Shot.

text: The Jesuit Daniël Seghers (1590-1661) has gone down in history as a painter of garlands, festoons, and wreaths of flowers in connection with religious presentations, a genre that his mentoring teacher Jan I Brueghel had introduced within the Antwerp art scene of flower painting. Seghers was very popular and his order was one that enjoyed a market value all too well. His paintings were often used as gifts for a select public and quite often they were a strategic act. Given that the central portion of a painting regularly had to contain a painted sculptured work, it is not surprising that Seghers saw an ideal collaborator with Quellinus. The grisaille with which Quellinus had enriched the cartouche, depicts the mystical marriage of Saint Catherine of Alexandria.

Lineup crosses cultures, boundaries
Global outreach for stories is evident as Sundance unveils noncompetitive entriesIt's no secret that changes in the real world affect movements in the reel world. As such, the Sundance Film Festival is a real-time diorama that displays just how flat the filmmaking world is becoming.
Although the movies themselves might remain independent in spirit, the moviemaking universe has only grown more interdependent — that may be the lesson of the 25th annual Sundance fest. "What's really impactful right now is the degree to which globalization has affected how people conceive of subjects and how people make films," festival director Geoffrey Gilmore said.
Gilmore pointed to the cross-cultural elements that have informed and financed many of the 118 official documentary and dramatic selections of this year's festival, which announced its noncompetitive lineup Thursday. Gone is the navel-gazing prevalent in the sunshiney '90s, replaced by the borderless 21st century globalization that has become more organically built in to the production schema and talent pools of the filmmaking world.
"The insularity has changed dramatically in terms of how people think about what's going on in the world," said Gilmore, pointing to such features as "Cold Souls," "Sin Nombre" and the previously announced opening-night salvo, "Mary and Max," a clay-animated feature about the pen-pal relationship between an 8-year-old Melbourne girl and a 40-year-old New York man.
"You get this sense of this global outreach going on in terms of how filmmakers tell stories and think about stories," Gilmore said. "Storytelling is really different — it's crossing geographic boundaries, it's crossing socio-economic boundaries, it's crossing cultural boundaries in some cases and it's generational."
The 2009 festival runs Jan. 15-25 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance. In addition to the 64 films in competition, another 54 features will screen in the four out-of-competition sections: Premieres, Spectrum (drama and documentary), Park City at Midnight and Frontier.
The Premieres section has yo-yoed in size the past few years, jumping from 17 to 24 entries in 2008 and back down to 16 this year. Since the festival is moving competition films into the noon and 3 p.m. slots at the Eccles, the Premieres have had to shrink. "It feels right," programming director John Cooper said. "There are fewer, but they're better."
Included in the Premieres division are a number of films with higher-profile actors and directors, including Greg Mottola directing Kristen Stewart and Ryan Reynolds in "Adventureland"; Antoine Fuqua directing Richard Gere, Ethan Hawke and Don Cheadle in "Brooklyn's Finest"; and Glenn Ficarra and John Requa directing Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey in "I Love You Philip Morris."
Billy Bob Thornton turns up in both "The Informers," an adaptation of a Bret Easton Ellis novel directed by Gregor Jordan, and "Manure," from brothers Mark Polish and Michael Polish. Kevin Spacey stars in "Moon," directed by Duncan Jones, and "Shrink," from director Jonas Pate.
The Spectrum section includes a bevy of anticipated nonfiction offerings from noted filmmakers. Davis Guggenheim will bring "It Might Get Loud," a history of the electric guitar as told by the Edge, Jimmy Page and Jack White; Spike Lee offers "Passing Strange," another musical journey; Robert Townsend directs "Why We Laugh: Black Comedians on Black Comedy"; and the Gonzo pranksters the Yes Men bring "The Yes Men Fix the World."
Gilmore doesn't see the growing dissolution of studio specialty wings as having any real impact on submissions or acquisitions. In terms of submissions, "At this point, that can come from any place in the studio," he said. "The studios don't need a specialized division to get in touch with a film festival anymore. They might have a decade ago. Now, there's a relationship that exists throughout."
As for acquisitions, "All of the studio specialized divisions have reconceived what they think their agendas need to be," Gilmore said. "They're much more mainstream than they were a few years ago, and they're driven by a higher theatrical target in terms of what they think they need to succeed."
Gilmore and Cooper see a shift in how strategic the studios made their festival offers. Cannes and Toronto can work well to build momentum for a fall Oscar run, but Sundance's January position doesn't serve that goal.
On a logistical note, the awards ceremony for the winning short films has been moved up from the end of the festival to midweek, on Tuesday night. "It creates an energy around them in just getting meetings and stuff," Cooper said. "Shorts tend to get overshadowed, so it's a way of pulling it out a little bit." (partialdiff)

Here at Cool Designs Ltd (CDL) we are proud to be a certified carbon neutral company. We work hard to reduce our carbon footprint and manage our growth.
With our very own tree plantation and through the sponsorship of a wind farm in Tansania we have successfully offset our carbon footprint. We regularly transport goods across the country and we now do so knowing that we have zero impact upon the environment.
In 2011 we invested in a 3 acre plot of land near Stoke-on-Trent. Formerly grazing land, we have now planted 1,105 trees including a Royal Oak tree to celebrate the Queens Diamond Jubilee in 2012.
Most pleasing for us was the news that Toshiba Air Conditioning also became carbon neutral; from the Toshiba factory, through CDL and to our client's site, the transport of goods has zero impact on the carbon footprint of that project. Once the trees are better established we hope to use the land with the local community including schools to promote greater environmental knowledge.
If you follow us on twitter or facebook then you'll know that we put a huge emphasis on energy efficient air conditioning. We work hard to ensure that our green ethos rubs off onto others too; with green energy and energy efficient air conditioning we can all help to minimise our effect on the environment and even save the end user money!
Keep up to date with our progress on our blog.

The line was out the door and down the block on Market Street, in the heart of Chattanooga, Tennessee. The crowd gathered for the release of Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Series: Batch 001.
No, the residents of Chattanooga are not inebriates lining up to get their daily fix. The sight was an unusual one, and it was caused by unique event: Chattanooga Whiskey Batch 001 is the first bottle of liquor legally distilled in Chattanooga since Prohibition.
Although Prohibition was repealed in 1933, the old blue laws remained on the books until deregulation efforts in 2009. Even then, Chattanooga was excluded.
This all changed, writes southern-culture publication the Bitter Southerner, with Chattanooga Whiskey. Using nothing but social media and grassroots campaigning, it got the support of the county – and then the state – by the spring of 2013.
Chattanooga Whiskey serves to illustrate a larger point for urbanists, state and local lawmakers, and craft distillery aficionados alike. Craft distilleries not only have a positive economic impact, but serve to foster local community as well.
Whiskey is a culture. And that culture could come back – if we let it. Before Prohibition, Chattanooga was the largest distilling hub in the state, with over 30 distilleries. Tennessee was poised to compete with Kentucky, and even hosted the brand now called Four Roses for two years, before becoming a dry state.
Chattanooga Whiskey was not created just to make a profit. Its founders cared about the history of Chattanooga and loved the city. Wes Phelps, long-time restaurateur and supporter, said that, 'As I got to know [co-founders] Tim and Joe, I realised it was more than just an idea to make money. They actually never talked about money or success.'

Welcome to the Harwood Design Builders website! We've won dozens of awards for the Winnipeg home renovations we've done for our clients. But it's not the awards we seek, it's our client's approval and recognition for the quality work and trusting relationships we build. We could go on-and-on about how great we think we are as a home renovator in Winnipeg, but we thought it would be far more meaningful for you to hear it from clients we've had the pleasure of working for. Here are just a few comments from our clients ...
"I can't say enough about your company and crew Wayne. I will highly recommend you at any time construction or home renovations comes up. It has been such a good experience and outcome for me. Thank you, thank you!!!"
"We really, truly love the entire design and function of our newly renovated home in Winnipeg! It is bright, open and so beautiful; from fixtures, finishing (love that crown moulding and baseboards) flooring, cabinets, countertop, doggie door - you name it!
"We were VERY pleased with the completed renovation of our home, but also a little sad, as we had a wonderful working relationship with the skilled craftsmen who came to our home."
"I can't say enough good things about this experience. The transformation of our home is amazing and a year later there is nothing we would change about it - we love it!"

Shuffle up and deal
Sorry for the lack of posts. Life intervened. We'll be posting more frequently.
Grimes — Genesis
I'm glad my phone kicked out this song when I hit the shuffle this morning. Over the past couple of months I have been delving into Grimes. Discovered her on 120 Minutes. I have been taping the shows and watching them when I have free time. It reminds me of staying up and watching 120 minutes back in the 80's. So anyway, the video for this song is hilarious to me. Lots of fake toughness, riding around in an escalade swinging swords, etc. I was tempted just to laugh, but the song really is beautiful. If you like this one, check out Oblivion as well.
