Georgie and Company, A New Life: Everything Begins Here
Sneaking Out we have a winner!
The youtube playlist for Sneaking Out:
A List of Characters and Places, Some of Which Changed:
Liddy (This is one iteration of Georgie's name)
The Unofficial Twins: Jess and Nini (You will note that Nini was later changed to Maddy - Nini just sounded too sissy and also, it didn't roll off the tongue well enough for me)
The Boy: Greyson, mostly called Grey
Bad Fred
Cook (When I reached the point of the kids being on the pirate ship and realized there would be a cook there too, I knew I needed to give Cooks 1 and 2 actual names)
The Librarian
Beatneat Nick and Beatneat Jack (actual twins), guardians of the librarian (Here are two characters that came in a dream also but they turned out waaaaaay too much like Bill and Ted which completely derailed the mood of The Library, not to mention raised questions of copycatting. So they were ditched, poor fellows.)
Headmistress Blande (One instance of me quickly naming a character to fit their role or characteristics until I could find a more suitable name. The Headmistress actually ended up going through three names I think before I settled on Von Leeb)
The Congenially Plebian Orphanage of Saint Pompous, Patron Saint of the Vapidly Righteous otherwise known as The Girls School (Phillipe pointed out that this was too cheeky and might also offend some readers. He was right. I'm glad we changed it.)
Professor Tannenbaum (Hmm, I wonder what time of year this character got written in?)
The Gardener – gardener of the boys school – kinda crazy but kinda not
One of the original paragraphs I wrote for the beginning:
Liddy is just Liddy. That's what everyone says. "Oh that's just Liddy." What was that crash? "Oh that's just Liddy." What in the world is she talking about? "Oh that's just Liddy." In Liddy's opinion, this works in her favor which is why she doesn't do anything to change their minds. Ms. Corningsly on the other hand, doesn't even recognize her as Liddy. She continues to insist that her name is Heidi Lynn. No orphan in her home would ever ever be allowed the audacity to choose her own name. But Ms. Corningsly could not route this brazen stubbornness from the girl. She'd given her kitchen duty, toilet duty and countless punishments with no effect whatsoever, to the extent that Ms. Corningsly had finally concluded that this young lady was unreachable. Now, this adminstrator bides her time until Heidi Lynn will be of age and out of her hair.

In my records I have Rasmus Daveson(Kvale), husband of Anna Johans, who's children all went bith the surname of Davis; and Joronn Jonsdtr Kvaole as the wife of Lars Quale who was the brother of Rasmus Daveson(Kvale).All Rasmus's siblings went by the surname Guale.I somewhat understand the Norwegian naming system but figured I'd throw in my 2 cents worth.Hope it may be worth more than that to someone somewhere!

- Glows a deep orange upon exposure to infrared radiation.
- Phosphorescent area is approximately the size of the infrared beam.
- Infrared beam finder.
The Harrick Infrared Beam Finder allows viewing of the infrared beam from an FT-IR spectrometer and simplifies alignment of accessories. It contains a tab with a phosphor-based compound that absorbs and "traps" light energy from a short wavelength source (such as a lamp or sunlight), and then releases this stored light in the form of visible light upon exposure to IR radiation. The result is a localized glow of intensity relative to the amount of stored light and to the intensity of the IR incident upon the active phosphor area.

The Infrared Beam Finder is an easy way to locate the infrared beam. It incorporates a specialty paper which changes under ambient light and phosphoresces upon exposure to infrared radiation. Detailed specifications of the phosphor paper are given in Table 1, and its response as function of wavelength is shown in Figure 1.

Mandatory Rotation of Auditors
In light of a number of high-profile corporate failures during the first half of 2001, a number of studies have been performed to address the impact of mandatory rotation of audit firms to ensure the appropriate level of independence' of auditors. Majority of studies conclude that the detrimental effects of firm rotation on the quality of the audit work by far outweigh its positive effects as a safeguard against various independence and quality threats.
Frequent changes of audit firms, whether resulting from mandatory rotation or otherwise, introduce threats to independence and operational difficulties that make audit failure more likely. Many studies have involved practitioners' opinions on this issue, which have been based on their experiences and is therefore necessarily more subjective than from impartial, third party studies. There are differing opinions, as some audit firms wish to preserve the client bases, while others welcome more market volatility. Mandatory firm rotation has been concluded as an unnecessary step at present, whose main impact will be the auditing profession and its ability to attract talent for the future. At a time when the restoration of public trust in financial reporting is a key priority, such changes should be avoided.
Following the failure of HIH Insurance and other listed Australian companies during the first half of 2001, concerns were raised about the adequacy of Australian rules governing audit independence. Auditor independence is fundamental to the credibility and reliability of auditors' reports. Independence is defined to require " a freedom from bias, personal interest, prior commitment to an interest, or susceptibility to undue influence of pressure, any of which could lead to a belief that the audit opinion was determined other than by reference to the facts of the audit alone."
With the increasing globalistion of capital markets and the fact that that section 324 of the Corporations Act in relation to the independence of auditors had not changed in any substantiative form for at least 40 years, it was recognised that this area required attention and revision. The existing regulation prior 2004 of the auditing profession was predominantly the responsibility of the professional accounting bodies. Whereby the legislative requirements were "minimal" and "piecemeal."
International developments were in progress by International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) which aimed to update the ethical requirements of audit independence. European Commission released a consultative paper containing proposals designed to achieve greater uniformity throughout Europe & United States Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) had decided to remake its rules on audit independence to address issues associated with recent independence violations by auditors in the US.
As a part of the growing recognition of the desirability of achieving global uniformity and harmonisation in all areas of financial reporting and auditing, many studies and discussions including the Ramsay report were instigated since 2001 . The CLERP (Audit Reform & Corporate Disclosure) Act 2004 implemented the CLERP 9 measures and the recommendations of the Ramsay Report on the independence of Australian company auditors and took into account the relevant recommendations of Report 391 of the Joint Parliamentary Committee of Public Accountants and Audit.
The CLERP 9 Act draws on the HIH Royal Commission (HIHRC) , Cole Royal Commissions Report and the Ramsay Report in focusing on the importance of an independent audit on capital market efficiency. This is to be achieved through adding value to financial statements by improving reliability, which in turn should assist to lower the cost of capital by reducing information risk and enhancing value to capital market by strengthening the credibility of financial statements.
The many arguments for and against Mandatory audit...

Oregon School for Blind & Deaf Creates Board of Directors
I got this message (see below) earlier regarding creating separate boards for the Oregon School for the Blind and the Oregon School for the Deaf. It is nice that approximately 2000 children in the state of Oregon are served directly or indirectly from these services. If you don't know, they have separate schools for them.
Let's flash over to over 3500 children with autism in the state of Oregon. Now I'm not one to say that we should take away services and buildings that serve other disabilities. I'm not saying that we should take away funding. I'm just asking, other than Regional Services (which does NOT necessarily give direct services to students with disabilities), what do our students with autism get as far as specialized services are concerned?
ANSWER: About 1/2 hour of Speech and Langauge therapy a week - often in group sessions.
Autism specialists, special ed teachers, educational speech therapists, occupational therapists, and regular education teachers really do not have the expertise in the field of autism to be effective. It's sad, really. They may know things about autism but they know nothing about research in effective practices. No kidding.
I think the Oregon public needs to know that these kids are not receiving appropriate, let alone competent treatment or education in our public school system. Why does this matter to the average Joe? Because these kids grow up. We will soon have thousands of adults with autism. For a while, many will live with parents. But parents do not usually outlive their kids, even if their children have a developmental disability. Our prisons are overpopulated and there is no real mental health system. Many folks with autism don't have mental health issues so where do they get assistance? Social Security - which is terribly hard to secure. There is also money from shutting down Fairview State Hospital but there is a several year long waiting list.
It's time to ask about priorities. It's time to ask, wow, are two separate boards and schools for a small minority of disabled kids fair while other children with disabilities fight over scraps?
TO: All District and ESD Special Education Directors, All Student Learning & Partnerships Staff, State Schools Study Work Group, SACSE Members, EI/ECSE Contractors and County Supervisors, SICC Members, Interested Persons
The message below is being sent to you on behalf of:
Nancy Latini, PhD, Assistant Superintendent, Student Learning & Partnerships
July 18, 2007
Re: Board of Directors - Oregon School for the Deaf and Oregon School for the Blind

persons who are deaf;
* One member who is a professional with experience working with
Regional Programs for persons who are deaf;
* One member of the business community; and
* Two members who are parents of a child who is deaf.
OSB Board: seven members of whom at least three are persons who are
blind, and represented by:
* One member who has attended the Oregon School for the Blind or
was a staff person at the school;
* One member who is a professional with experience working with
Regional Programs for persons who are blind;
* One member of the business community;
* One member who is a parent of a child who is blind;
* One member who serves on the Commission for the Blind or who is
a staff person of the commission; and
* Two members who represent consumer groups that focus on issues
relating to persons who are blind.

Watch Super Rugby Sunwolves vs Wellington Hurricanes Live Streaming 2017 Online Rugby Union , at Prince Chichibu Memorial Stadium, Tokyo, Japan, Saturday 25 February 2017, Time 15:15 pm (AEDT). Free Sunwolves vs Wellington Hurricanes super rugby 2017 all match live stream online on your pc/laptop.2017 Super Rugby Broadcast On coverage on Fox Sports,Sky Sports, SuperSport, DIRECTV, BSkyB, Setanta Sports.
The Sunwolves face the ominous task of being the first side in 2017 to take on defending champions the Hurricanes.
A new head coach and substantially altered squad await the men from Wellington this Saturday but optimism will be high for the Japanese franchise going into their second season, with the strain that comes with a Super Rugby schedule now familiar.
Those involved with the Sunwolves last season will benefit from that experience but recruits with years in Super Rugby under their belts have also been recruited, particularly upfront where Sam Wykes (Force) and Willie Britz (Cheetahs) can add plenty of knowledge.
Filo Tiatia is the new man in charge in place of Mark Hammett and aside from hoping for some hard-nosed performances from those upfront, where Shota Horie and Liaki Moli in particular are key figures along with captain Ed Quirk, it is in the back where the Sunwolves might cause some excitement.
Saturday's contest however is likely to be a sore reality check, given the problems the Hurricanes posed so many defences in 2016 and how often the Sunwolves leaked tries.
Not only will this be the Sunwolves' first encounter with the Hurricanes, but it will be their first Super Rugby encounter with a New Zealand team also.
An inconsistent outing against a Top League XV last weekend was more about trying combinations as opposed to racking up a big score, and to go from that to face a well-drilled outfit like the Hurricanes is some ask.
As for the champions, the odds of repeating in Super Rugby are far from easy but there is a settled feel to their side heading into the new season, with head coach Chris Boyd having enough confidence in his depth to leave Dane Coles and Beauden Barrett – both nominated for World Player of the Year in 2016 which Barrett won – to rest on the bench.
The Hurricanes' ability to attack from anywhere is well know but the focus on Saturday and beyond will centre on how Jordie Barrett, brother of Beauden, fares at either full-back, along with the progress this season of the likes of Ricky Riccitelli, Michael Fatialofa and Vaea Fifita.
Anything less than a bonus-point win to kick off the new year would be viewed as an extreme disappointment and with that does come a level of pressure, but then again the Hurricanes feel well equipped to achieve that goal.
The Hurricanes have won only one of their last six games to open a Super Rugby season (22-8 v Lions in 2015), but that now seems certain to change.
Players List:
Sunwolves: 15 Riaan Viljoen, 14 Takaaki Nakazuru, 13 Timothy Lafaele, 12 Derek Carpenter, 11 Kenki Fukuoka, 10 Hikaru Tamura, 9 Keisuke Uchida, 8 Willem Britz, 7 Edward Quirk, 6 Malgene Ilaua, 5 Sam Wykes, 4 Liaki Moli, 3 Heiichiro Ito, 2 Shota Horie, 1 Masataka Mikami

Hurricanes: 15 Jordie Barrett, 14 Cory Jane, 13 Matt Proctor, 12 Ngani Laumape, 11 Julian Savea, 10 Otere Black, 9 TJ Perenara (c), 8 Blade Thomson, 7 Ardie Savea, 6 Brad Shields, 5 Michael Fatialofa, 4 James Blackwell, 3 Jeffery To'omaga-Allen, 2 Ricky Riccitelli, 1 Chris Eves

George Clinton came to Jersey Boys a couple of weeks ago. GEORGE FUCKING CLINTON…Parliament Funkadelic…The Motor Booty Affair…Maggots Ate My Brain…the Godfather Of Funk. I hadn't seen him since I sang on R&B Skeletons in the Closet—one of his solo albums— in the 80's. I think actually I saw him once after that, but I had to leave hanging out with him at the Gramercy Park Hotel because, well, basically… …I don't smoke crack. The new (and improved?) George Clinton is now sober (from crack, not alcohol, as witnessed by my pre-show dinner with him), and travels with his lawyer/girlfriend (she says they will be married soon), and on this night, his great granddaughter. He was also accompanied by his bodyguard/driver whose name escapes me, but by the time I finish writing this, I hope will come back to me. Believe me, it was a good name. Perfect, in fact. I bought them all house seats to Jersey Boys because George wanted to see it. He said he grew up with Frankie Valli, and all of them in Jersey. I couldn't make him pay, not after all the Buddha-like wisdom he imparted to me 30 years ago.
In the 80's, on tour with Thomas Dolby, we played Radio City Music Hall.
I was the girl who sang the HYPERACTIVE! duet with Thomas, as well as playing keyboards, and dressing in a wig, glasses and lab coat to be his coquettish assistant for SHE BLINDED ME WITH SCIENCE. At Radio Music Hall, backstage, was George Clinton.
Here's how is how we looked then:
He said hello to me and I nodded to him, and we went on our way. In those days I was always onstage carrying a white fake poodle decked out in a fake bejeweled collar. Don't ask me why because that is another blog.
A month after we came off tour in Europe I looked like this:
It was the summer of 1984. I was in a magazine/candy store on 75th and Columbus and I picked up a copy of SPIN magazine with Keith Richards on the front of it. I saw that there was an interview with George Clinton in it, so I started reading it while I was standing online to buy my Drum tobacco. First question:
SPIN: "Why are you into such a heavy Thomas Dolby trip these days?"
The answer jumped out at me as my face turned the same color as my hair. I wish I had the magazine with me, but believe me, as much as I am paraphrasing here, the important parts I remember like it was yesterday.
GEORGE CLINTON: "…….and there's this girl on tour with him…. she comes out and sings "Hyperactive"…she's a white girl too…she's like a white Patti LaBelle…the crowd went nuts…she got them all lathered up… and then she didn't come out again. You gotta know what to do with an audience, man… if you get their dicks hard, you better make them cum."
When I got back to L.A., I tried to find out who George Clinton's manager was. I got him on the phone and said, "um…my name is Debra Barsha, and I was on tour with Thomas Dolby at Radio City Music Hall, and George was there, and um…he said really nice things about me in SPIN, and um..I just wanted you to tell him thank you, and that the girl who got his dick hard's name is Debra Barsha." He asked for my number, and within minutes I got a phone call. "Hey girl. I'm doin' my album now, and we're in the studio…why don't you come down and sing on a couple of tracks."
That's it. I promptly got on the phone and called my friend Vanessa Williams who had just been de-throned as Miss America for having her naked pictures show up in Penthouse Magazine.
"Vanessa, George Clinton just told me to come to the studio and sing on his album. Do you want to go with me?" Vanessa LOVED Parliament Funkadelic. You must understand. No one wanted to hire Vanessa at this time.
So, if you happen to download a song called HEY GOOD LOOKIN' on R&B Skeletons in the closet, you will hear me and Vanessa Williams singing background vocals. We each were given a solo line to say at the beginning of the song, along with Bootsy Collins and George.
Mine was: "PLEASE DON'T FRET IF I FREAK, THE SIGHT OF YOU GOT ME GEEKED."
But my favorite line of all time that I had to sing on that album is in the song DO FRIES GO WITH THAT SHAKE . Vanessa and I sang it together:
After the album was done, he gave me a great Peter Max scarf to thank me for all the work I'd done, and I've kept that scarf for years. When I met him before the show, I brought the scarf with me to tell him how I carry it on stage with me all the time to keep the Funk with me. I wore it as a headband at Coachella this year when I performed with Karen O and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
And I showed it to him at Thalia before we left the restaurant.
In subsequent albums that I sang on of his, I was usually the only white Jewish girl in a room full of the funkiest singers I had ever heard. But he always knew I was a theater person, and on MIXMASTER SUITE on that album, asked me to arrange the song, with the instruction, "I want BROADWAY meets FUNK".
I arranged the song under the pseudonym LUCY AND SCHROEDER with my friend Ed Johnson.
Broadway, not surprisingly, is in George's blood. I learned the secret to how he gets his party sound on the records. He had me double tracking vocals, and each time I went back in, he said, "now sing it like Carol Channing", "now sing it like Cher."
Afterwards, when I was marveling at how he wanted to include Broadway in a Funk song, he gave me the greatest definition of Funk:
"Funk is anything it needs to be when it needs to be that thing."
George Clinton came to fucking Jersey Boys on fucking Broadway.
And hung with me and my wife afterwards.

I finally had the time to create a proper banner for my blog! For this purpose I ended up having a tiny sunday photoshoot at home! The black birds and the minty green background you see there in the photos is the wallpaper in our livingroom, it's my favourite thing in the house, so obviously it's the best place for a photoshoot ^_^
I really love this outfit, but the socks kept creeping down my thighs! Need to figure out a way to have the stay where I put them! The shoes are also my long time favourites ♥ The dress I am wearing is my Marie Antoinette inspired 2-piece, it is handmade by me during the summer, but I never had the chance to wear it out until now, even though I was very happy when I finished it. I made it without any sort of patterns, I just cut the fabric based on my touchy-feely measurements. Thinking it through now I'll be getting a lot of trouble re-producing this dress one day, since I'm lacking the patterns :/ Oh well, I'll be posting about that some time later (◡‿◡✿) If you'd like to know more about the mysterious Striped Box, you'll have to check the very first post I made to this blog!
Wig & mask - e-Bay
2-piece dress - selfmade
Skirt peeking under the dress - Bodyline
Jewellery - selfmade
The Striped Box - my old treasure ^_^

- Uncle Luke letter to Rick Ross Stop Before You End Up Like Biggie!!
Posted by : Novey Justice Wednesday, February 6, 2013
Uncle Luke wrote a letter to fellow Miami rapper Rick Ross to stop rapping about things that he isn't familiar with all the troubles Rick Ross has faced in the last month maybe he should take heed to what Uncle Luke is telling him. Although Rick Ross isn't the first rapper to embellish the street life should he stop?
Dear Rick Ross:
As someone who survived several rap beefs, I'm going to give you some advice. You need to seriously address the threats and attempts on your life. You have worked hard to become a big name in hip-hop. You've paid your dues and you've grown lyrically since the release of your debut album, Port of Miami, in 2006. You've arrived, buddy.
But all this gangster bullshit is jeopardizing your career. No club or arena is going to risk people getting shot. You can forget about doing any tours or CD signings. And if you can't make money, watch how fast Warner Bros. Records turns on you. I know from experience how venues and the music industry would like to black ball you.
You have the Gangster Disciples breathing down your neck because you've named-dropped Larry Hoover, the gang's founder, in your music. Unlike the record and book publishing industries, these bad dudes don't understand the concept of public domain. They see you getting rich forever by rapping about their leader, and they don't like it. That's why they're on YouTube talking about how you need to go see them and cut a check.
It's a shame you can't enjoy life without spending part of your earnings on heavy security or risking your freedom by purchasing an arsenal. Remember, that's what landed T.I. and Lil Wayne in prison. You don't want that to happen to you. However, those are the consequences of rapping about being something you're not.
Hip-hop has a rich history of college guys who never committed a crime rapping about moving kilos of cocaine and taking out snitches. Every gangster rapper takes on the role of a real hood legend to build up street cred. But I don't want you to fall into the trap of believing you are really a gangster.
Trust me, you don't want to go out like Biggie Smalls or Tupac. It's time you squash your beefs.

Gene Logic to search for secondary paths for Merck pipeline
GAITHERSBURG, Md. Gene Logic has entered into a drug repositioning and development agreement with Merck Serono, to seek other development paths for several of Merck Sereno's drug candidates.
The drug candidates, which were discontinued or de-prioritized in clinical trials for reasons other than safety would give payments to Gene Logic based on success milestone and royalties, although these would be discounted to account for Merck Serono's contribution.
If Gene Logic identifies a new potential therapeutic use that Merck Serono chooses not to develop, they can receive an exclusive license for the drug and would then pay Merck Serono royalty and success-based milestone payments.
NACDS applauds Senate efforts to delay tamper-resistant prescription paper deadline
ALEXANDRIA, Va. The National Association of Chain Drug Stores on Tuesday applauded the Senate passage of a bill that will delay the use of tamper-resistant prescription paper for Medicaid prescriptions.
At Tuesday night's meeting, Senators Sherrod Brown and George Voinovich (D and R-Ohio, respectively), introduced their legislation, which provides a six-month delay to the Oct. 1 implementation date requiring all Medicaid prescriptions to be written on tamper-resistant prescription paper.
The anti-fraud legislation was created as a provision in an Iraq war bill, which was passed in May. The NACDS has said that though it supports efforts to curb fraud and abuse, they also believe that four months is not enough time for physicians across the country to comply with such a widespread change. As a result, the NACDS applauded the Senate's efforts to impede the new policy.
NACDS also said that after working with the National Community Pharmacy Association to address the change, they found that more than 535,000 Medicaid physicians validated the concern that many are not aware of this requirement or what they need to do to be in compliance.
"Pharmacists take great pride in their work and serving their patients," said NACDS president and chief executive officer Steve Anderson. "The possibility of pharmacists being forced to turn away patients from receiving their medication is an unacceptable risk and one that pharmacists should not have to make."
Suit vs. big drug wholesaler can go forward, judge rules
NEW YORK A class-action suit against McKesson Corp. can go forward, a federal judge has ruled, allowing consumers in the suit to pursue claims that the health care service and drug distribution giant engaged in a pricing fraud.
According to a report from the Reuters news agency, U.S. District Court Judge Patti Saris certified the suit after concluding that the plaintiffs in the case had a "persuasive argument" in alleging that McKesson and First Databank together set an artificially high average wholesale price for drugs reimbursed by Medicaid and private insurers. Among the plaintiff class are consumers who made co-payments on branded prescription drugs between 2001 and 2005, according to the report.
McKesson does not comment on pending litigation.

How our sleeping bags are tested
The Alpkit Sleep Limit is a single figure based on the combined experience of us, our customers and our Alpkiteers spending many nights out, all year round, in all conditions and is backed up by thermal testing and years of expertise with fill, materials and construction methods.
Our sleeping bags are tested using the Leeds Comfort Model in the labs at Leeds University. The results of these tests are interpolated to give an equivalent EN13537 rating so that you can easily compare our sleeping bags with other brands.
The Leeds Comfort Model
Test Method
The tests are performed according to BS 4745:1990 utilising a single plate togmeter with a 50 cm diameter. Sleeping bags are allowed to loft for a minimum of 4 hours prior to testing and the temperatures are measured in a central location where the chest bone of a sleeper would be.
EN 13573 values are provided for comparison and are based on a calculation derived from comparative tests on identical sleeping bags.
|Night temperature
|Required thermal insulation (Togs)
|15 to 18
|3 to 5
|Spring / Autumn
|10 to 0
|5 to 8
|3 to -10
|7 to 10
|-5 to -20
|9 to 12
|Polar / High mountain
|-15 to -40
|11 to 20+
As far as thermal testing is important, it is just one tool we use to recommend the suitability of our sleeping bags for any given condition. This is why our recommended Alpkit Sleep Limit can differ from results recorded under laboratory conditions.

Stratton Bull, Hugo Naessens: Superius | Christopher Kale, Peter Van Heyghen: Altus, Robert Buckland, Arnout Lems: Tenor | Lieven Deroo: Bassus | Lionel Meunier: Bassus | Wim Diepenhorst: Organ
An evocation of a commemorative mass composed by Jacob Obrecht and commisioned by Adriane de Vos - in memory of her late husband, the fur merchant Donaes de Moor - and first sung in the Sint Jacobskerk in Bruges in October 1487, opening a window onto the world of late-medieval Bruges.
Jacob Obrecht(1457/8-1505) was a South Netherlandish composer known mainly for his substantial output of Mass Ordinary settings in the late 15th century, as well as for his motets and songs. Like his close contemporary Josquin des Prez, Obrecht was born and trained in the North, and led a peripatetic career involving positions and patrons both north and south of the Alps. Even as a young man in his twenties his talent and influence were celebrated: in the early 1480s the leading music theorist of the time, Johannes Tinctoris, ranked Obrecht among the masters "whose compositions, distributed throughout the whole world, fill God's churches, the palaces of kings, and the houses of private individuals, with the utmost sweetness."
The dvd contains a filmed reenactment of the mass plus an extensive documentary featuring Prof. Jennifer Bloxam (Professor of Music Williams College, Massachusetts USA) and Stratton Bull (Artistic leader Cappella Pratensis) made on-location in Bruges. For more information: go to the very special website of the Saint Donation Mass. This website features an audiovisual recreation of that liturgical service complete with plainsong and Obrecht's polyphony sung by the Cappella Pratensis and linked to an annotated copy of the score. Essays and images illuminate the rich social, cultural, and theological context of this unusually well-documented occasion.

SavATree is obsessed with high quality service, safety, productivity and good citizenship.
At SavATree, we won't settle for second best. But that's much easier to say than to achieve. So we spend a great deal of time thinking about what it actually means to be the best, what we must do to set ourselves apart, and how to continuously gauge and improve our level of success.
Any measure of a leading organization must include quality. SavATree customers count on us for the highest quality service, based upon the knowledge and expertise of our professional arborists who evaluate their landscape needs and make recommendations. Quality also means unparalleled customer service, not only from our arborists but also from our crews and local branch offices. At every opportunity, we solicit direct customer feedback in order to ensure that we are providing service that meets or exceeds expectations and delights our customers.
Because our work can be hazardous, safety is a primary concern. We don't want our people getting hurt and have developed a robust safety culture that serves our team and our customers well. Our effectiveness in this area was validated by a recent external audit that yielded an outstanding risk control assessment score.
SavATree is immersed in LEAN Sigma and employs its waste reduction principles to boost productivity and add value for all stakeholders. In the field, this translates to getting the job done right the first time. All vehicles are fully equipped to handle a multitude of conditions, so there is rarely a need to inconvenience property owners with a return trip. Increased productivity pays additional dividends: it helps reduce cost and allows us to deliver superior service at even more competitive rates.
In order to be considered the best, we must also do right by our employees, communities and the environment. SavATree is proud to offer our employees living wages with benefits, plus opportunities for advancement, training and development. We demonstrate our commitment to the communities in which we live and work through dozens of corporate memberships and sponsorships that support important historic landmarks, museums, community parks, botanical gardens, arboretums, schools, garden clubs and professional associations.
Finally, our commitment to the environment is an essential component of good corporate citizenship. Caring for landscapes using the most advanced, environmentally responsible and sustainable methods is a core value and a hallmark of SavATree.

Higgins Creek Trail is a 5.5 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Erwin, Tennessee that features a waterfall and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is best used from March until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

This trail leads uphill a mile to a cascading waterfall. You can walk even further to explore 4-5 more waterfalls that are all part of Lower Higgins Creek. The waterfall is about a mile in on your right. The trail has a moderate grade, with the exception of the last quarter mile, when it becomes steep. You'll be able to see the waterfall down a treacherous 100 foot slope to your right. It's best to visit in the spring or fall, as the steep descent to the falls is made even more difficult when the slope is completely overgrown. Continue on the main trail for another half mile or so to discover more waterfalls. The trail is well-maintained. If you do travel to the other falls be prepared to cross the creek a few times. Paths to the other waterfalls are almost nonexistent after the first waterfall. Please note there is limited space for parking. There will be "no trespassing" signs. Just continue down the gravel road and you will be brought to a parking area near the trailhead.
Pretty strenuous hike. The trail is visible and lake level is low. Fun adventure hike.
Beautiful hike along the creek for the majority of the time with quite a few crossings. Multiple waterfalls.
This is a great little trail that really comes alive in heavy rain seasons. Water features are awesome and great spot for photography in many areas.
This is a nice little trail, the waterfall is nice and you have climb down to iy but it's a good trail. I added a few miles to it exploring the area a little. mostly mountains at the top but there is a ton of places to go and see what's around the corner so to speak. It's not to steep and the rating of moderate is about right. levels out once you get to the ridgelines. This would be excellent hike with the fall colors at peak as there are many various trees so it will be a good mix of colors. I'll be back for sure.
IF YOU SEE NO PARKING SIGNS YOU'RE NOT THERE YET- continue on up the rough gravel road to the left until it actually dead ends at the parking area. Nice hike (though pretty steep, in my opinion, considering you are traveling uphill the whole time until you turn around and come back down). Very lightly trafficked. Waterfall was nice, but didn't make it to the lake. Lots of nice opportunities to splash in the creek (some very deep spots to dunk in, though not really big enough to swim in).

No place to park so we did not hike it. Not sure where those who do hike this actually park because there were Private property, no trespass, no parking, and tow away signs all over the area.
Beautiful place especially when wild flowers are blooming they are everywhere along the trail .Trail has a steady uphill climb but not bad .There is a steep part as you go down to the base of the falls but just watch your footing and it's not bad .Well worth going down to the base of the falls to get the best view .My favorite trail for wildflowers in this area :)
The trail is definitely moderate to the falls. I would've rated 4 stars but the lack of accessibility to the falls along the trail was disappointing. Not to say you couldn't bushwhack your way down, but I wasn't really in the mood for that on this particular day. Other sites mention a lost lake...don't waste your time. First off the trail is 1700' of gain in the 1 mile up to it. Secondly, the "lake" down almost 25' feet from its normal level. If you must check it out the trail is after your first stream crossing past the main falls, to the left on the side of the creek you came from. Judging from old posts about it there used to be a janky wooden bridge. It's been washed out and caused us to miss it on our way up initially, even though you can clearly see the trail. Cross and start climbing. 3/4 of the way up is a rusted out late model truck. If you stay on Higgins Creek Trail it follows the stream to the top and eventually intersects with a forest service road on the ridge.
Wet and rocky! Beautiful hike right from the beginning. We went a couple weeks ago after we had a ton of rain and the water was up, we had a hard time finding a place to cross the creek so taking our shoes off and going across it barefoot was about our only option. Waterfall is fantastic! A must see.
We really enjoyed this water fall hike. It was super private and lightly trafficked. Felt like you were out in the middle of no where. We didn't see another soul out here while we were hiking. Our dog loved it and was able to hike off leash the entire time. The water fall was huge and beautiful.
Went during a rain storm so the falls had some extra volume and enjoyed the empty hike.
Drive past the no parking signs. There is parking in the forest. Climb down to the falls view from path.
Great ride! The no trespassing signs before you get to the parking area are for the private land before the road ends on Nat. Forest land. But there are there to intimidate. There is legal pubic parking at the end of the road. Just cross the bridge and keep going to park.
The waterfall is not at the end of the trail. There is a lake if you go far enough. There are no trespassing signs, but there is a gravel road to the left of the signs and it takes you to the parking area of the trailhead. From my experience if it looks like a road, it usually will take you to a parking area for trail heads. The waterfall is good size and is also off the trail, so you have to do some climbing to get back to the trail. It is all up hill basically.
so we weren't able to hike here if you use the directions in the app it takes you down a small gravel road where people live off. there are no trespassing signs everywhere and signs that towing is inforced. We didn't want to take the risk of going on a beautiful hike and having our car towed at end of it.
A bit steep, but not a long hike. The main falls is the only one really worth going to. The others you can only see from the trail looking down. You have to go down a very steep, slippery section to get to the bottom of the main falls which I would not reccomend for kids or dogs. It was nice that we were the only people there which made for some relaxing hammocking at the base of the falls!
Definitely worth it, the road getting to the trailhead is a bit sketchy, keep following it until the end and you will see a gate where the trail starts. We almost turned around before we got to the trailhead.
it was a tough little hike, in order to get close to the falls it would be an extreme hike. Staying on the trail gives you some good views but you don't really get close to it.
Amazing. One of my new favorite hikes for this area. Less than a mile in from the trail head there a very steep side trail shooting off to the right that takes you down to the bottom of the first big waterfall you come to. I highly recommend climbing down to it and getting under that power of that water. Pretty strong water for not being too tall of a fall. Water today was about 65°. I recommend bringing sandals for waking thru the water. We never made it all the way to the lake but this section of wooded mountain spoke volumes to us. And that water! Always got to get in that water. Easy to access that first waterfall but the rest of the hike was a good moderate challenge. Will have to try a different path at the main crossroads near the top next time.
A very enjoyable hike, was nice that they have extended the road up, to get past the "NO PARKING" signs.

It was a very short hike but it was very enjoyable. There are a couple of,places that you have to cross the creek; depending on rain levels they may be crossable or wet. There are several small waterfalls and a very nice large waterfall closer to the top.
This is a great trail that's friendly enough for any type of hiker. The elevation gain was only 689ft within the total 2.6 mile hike to an area past the falls and back. If you keep following the trail you will eventually end up at the lake at Rocky Fork State Park known as Hidden Lake and Birchfield Lake.
From the parking lot stay to the trail on the left of the stream and follow the road. Eventually you will see a blue gate and that's when you know you're on the correct trail. Looks like they have been doing some dozing work for maybe more parking or a campground.
This uphill out and back provided plenty of pictures of some waterfalls. I tracked 2.5 miles to a blue gate off the left side of the trail before I turned around to make with some daylight.It is well mainained and look like it gets some ATV action at times because there is some vegetation in the middle of the trail. Paths to the waterfalls are very hard to find. The first fall is probably the most spectacular and I don't think the other falls get much traffic based on how hard it was to find a way to the bottom of each fall. I think I made it to the base of at least 4 of the falls but shot the 2nd fall from the trail. This is a good hike for families if you stay on the main trail but be prepared to get your feet wet if you go beyond the 1st fall. If you plan on going to the base of any of these falls you will need sure fotting on the way down and you will have to use both hands AND feet to get back to the trail.
