Chapter 1 (NW)
Jin-Ie is a young, and quite tall, girl with messy, shoulder-length crimson hair, and mainly dresses in punk fashion. Initially and generally, she would have a neck-belt surrounding her neck, short jeans shorts, and a leather coat/jacket around a white T-Shirt. Although she is seen with other kinds of clothes throughout the series. Many people may regard her hair not to be natural, though in contrary, it actually is. She has been remarked, in more than one occasion, as "quite attractive" and "cute."
Jin-Ie is of mixed lineage (her mother was Korean and her father is American), and she got her unique hair color from her father.[1] While not much is known about Jin-Ie's father, it is hinted that he may be of Jewish descent, as Jin-Ie is constantly seen wearing the Star of David necklace around her neck.
Went training she wears her Sun-Woo Clan aikido she leaves top of it open showing the middle part of her chest open.
Jin-Ie is a short tempered tomboy who seems to be only capable of solving her problems by fighting. Jin-Ie is quite unsociable due to how people treat her because of her hair color. They either ask her if she dyed her hair or avoid her because they think she is trouble even calling her a delinquent. When she talks to Shi-Woon about it, she says it annoys her as her hair color and style is natural. Throughseveral occasions, many types of people would comment that if it wasn't for this sharp personality of hers, she could be seen "cuter and more attractive." Despite such a sharp and independently violent personality, she has been shown to be sincerely thankful if helped enough, first seen with Shi-Woon's actions, and later, when Ji-Gun Yoo saved her life during a turmoil situation in her life-time. At first she was completely annoyed to be Shi-Woon's bodyguard and displayed a hatred for him, even if he would show actions of sincerity, she would see such actions as a sign of pity. However, she later seems to have developed a crush on him. Indeed, it's quite clear that over the short time they have spent together, she has developed feelings for him. This is especially evident when she appears to grow jealous when Shi-Woon's attention is focused to Sae-Hee. Eventually, it would truly show that her feelings towards Shi-Woon have grown to love, as she had realized and witnessed on several occasions that Shi-Woon would "try, in his greatest attempts, to rescue her, if she would ever be in a dire state of trouble." Still to this day, though, she would still threaten Shi-Woon in certain situations if annoyed.
She also has a strange habit of being drawn to him when he is asleep and tries to kiss him, but is interrupted or stops herself before anything happens. She has also developed a very protective nature towards Shi-Woon due to her deep feelings for him. She yells at those who could help him but won't and went so far as to call Sera an "emotionless bitch" when she assumed the latter would not want to help Shi-Woon, who was in danger at the time. Now, whenever Shi-Woon would be caught in trouble, she would always return the feelings Shi-Woon would give to her, as in, not only because it is her duty and job, but as a true friend, to protect and save him at her best of costs. She appeared to be very frightened of her grandfather, who often voiced his utter disgust to her and her late mother, claiming they were both failed to him. At the same time, though, she has shown vigorous loyalty to him. When her mother died, Jin-Ie was taken in by her grandfather, who gave her everything when she thought she had lost everything. The old man reminded her of that, and her fear and loyalty was brought into mind. So when he ordered her to kill Shi-Woon, she was almost able to do it. But Shi-Woon was saved by the call he got from his mother, and Jin-Ie's resolve and growing feelings were blocking her path to kill Shi-Woon. She has two friends within the Sun-Woo Clan: Dae-San Han (Big Mountain) and Ha-Ill Gang, the latter whom she often argues with and scolds. Through the time Ha-Ill and Jin-Ie have had, their arguments would start once Ha-Ill would begin to mock or imitate her actions into jokes, thus having Jin-Ie angered enough to yell and threaten him. Though not yet revealed, it may be possible that the two's connections are much more than that. This flirt-to-scold bond is almost no different between her and Ji-Gun Yoo. After saving her life, Ji-Gun would often tease her in scattered situations. Once, in the hospital, worried about Shi-Woon's whereabouts, she would ask the nurse if a boy was also left at the hospital safely as well. The nurse would answer that there is indeed a "handsome young man with curly hair." This would enrage her.
She also dislikes how Gyu-Bum Yi would have slick plans involving her, and in more than one occasion, would call him a "sly fox."
She is also seen to dislike, and most of all fear, the path and feeling of loneliness. This had probably begun after her mother, who she had been so close and powerfully attached to died. Thus leaving her alone for a long time, without anyone to help her. She had then felt this pain after running away from everyone, as she was unable to follow her grandfather's orders to kill Shi-Woon. Crying every day and staying independent, she was stuck in turmoil, only to be eventually saved by Ji-Gun. This would also reveal how much love she had for her mother, commenting once that she would always be happy because she was there for her, and only needed her.
Because of her personality while fighting in her school uniform she doesn't care if her underwear is seen.
After her grandfather was killed by Nine Arts Dragon the rest of the Sunwoo Clan cries and grieved over the passing of him. And began to questioned if he very loved her. But after gaining the book of his techniques left only to her give him the will to stand and become even stronger then he was.
- "Nobody's as interesting as her." - Ha-Ill Gang
- "When people get close to death they change." - Ha-Ill Gang

Fort Worth has a new Coors business, but it has nothing to do with beer.
CoorsTek, the brewing family's enterprise that makes engineered ceramics for products including military body armor, oil and gas drilling components and semiconductors, now has a medical device component firm based near Alliance Airport. A Coors family member is in charge.
CoorsTek Medical was established through the acquisition last year of IMDS, a company built from several businesses purchased by the New York private equity firm Arsenal Capital Partners. The companies make parts for implantable devices used in orthopedic procedures such as hip or knee replacement or spinal fusion.
CoorsTek Medical only has about 15 employees in Fort Worth — the bulk of its operations are elsewhere, including Oregon, Ohio, Utah and Colorado. But the company would like to expand in Texas, said Jonathan Coors, a fifth-generation member of the brewing family who is now CEO of CoorsTek Medical.
"Texas is a place that is very intriguing to us," said Coors, 34, whose father, John Coors, is chairman and chief executive of CoorsTek. "It's where people want to be, the workforce is good. … It's a natural place for us to continue to grow."
A graduate of Pepperdine University, Jonathan Coors spent the last two years working for CoorsTek in California. Though he has fond memories of spending time with his father at the brewery, he said he was pulled in a different direction.
"I enjoy things that are dynamic and exciting," he said. "I love getting up in the morning and coming to work because the stuff that we do and the parts that we make are radically changing people's lives."
IMDS ended up with headquarters at Alliance after the company hired Brady Shirley as top executive in 2009. Shirley was already living in North Texas, and relocated from Las Colinas to the Alliance space in 2010.
IMDS drew the attention of CoorsTek because of its growth potential, Coors said. The manufacturer dates to the early days of the brewing company, and helped the family weather Prohibition with its pottery business.
The oldest of 10 children, Jonathan Coors has two siblings and 13 cousins involved in the sprawling family business. He did spend some time working at the famous Golden, Colo., brewery — as a gardener for two summers during high school.
"I planted all the flower beds in front of the brewery," he said. "No one will believe you if you print that, but it's straight up true."
Southlake education
nonprofit honored
Bhavani Parpia, a languages coordinator for the H.E.B. school district, had an idea and acted on it.
Instead of building schools or training centers in the Third World, with the inherent problems of keeping a foreign-dependent program functioning at great distances, why not send in teaching specialists to run workships for local educators so they can improve the skills they need most?
What resulted is her Southlake-based ConnecTeach, run on a relative shoestring.
By working with more than 350 teachers in Asia and the Middle East, her nonprofit has directly affected the education of more than 9,000 students, making a difference that could last a lifetime.
Parpia was honored last week by Southern Methodist University's Embrey Human Rights Program, which made her the regional recipient of the $5,000 Triumph of Spirit Award. It honors people "doing great work for others, sometimes at great risk to themselves," Embrey program director Rick Halperin said in a statement.
For more information about her organization, see its website, www.connecteach.org.
Chamber honored
for helping veterans
The Arlington Chamber of Commerce has received the 3-Star Chamber of Valor award from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation for its efforts in promoting hiring veterans through the program Hiring Our Heros.
"We would never be able to do the work we do without the tremendous support of local chambers and the Arlington Chamber of Commerce is setting a standard for other chambers to follow," said Eric Eversole, executive director of Hiring Our Heroes and vice president at the U.S. Chamber.
Chamber of Valor award recipients submitted applications to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation to be considered for the award. Applications were scored by U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation staff, and honorees were awarded at the one-, two-, and three-star levels.

NWO Propaganda
The Truth Behind The Globalist Agenda
Friday, 8 May 2015
The two-party circus in the U.S. is the epitome of ridiculous. It is scripted and operated by the same people with the exact same goals : Both ignore our most basic rights. CNN recently asked "When can a government kill its own people?" but for President Obama and some old guard GOP leaders like Sen. John McCain, that question has already been answered: Pretty much whenever it's convenient.

My 30s are over. They began with an epic move to Tucson where I started a brand new life (alone!) in a foreign place. They ended with the loss of three of the great loves of my life: Nik and The Sheriff died, and I parted ways with my best friend of a decade. The in-between years housed great adventures, a few comforts, mostly catastrophes, and confusion. There was one heartbreak after another, many moves, several jobs. My 30s were hard and sad, but they revealed a lot to me about who I am, deep down to my core. They showed me, too, who other people are, for better and for worse.
I was in love with Nik in my 20s. He was a kind and gentle person, remarkably creative, wickedly intelligent, ambitious, interesting, thoughtful. He was the perfect partner for the striving, restless young me. We spent our days renovating our dilapidated little house, making elaborate art projects, drinking too much coffee and beer and whiskey. We spent our weekends scouring used bookstores for old Penguin paperbacks and thrift stores for things made of Gabardine, horsehair and dotted swiss. I was too young and dumb to know that a man who buys you the perfect pair of alligator pumps and brings you coffee in bed every morning and writes you the loveliest of love letters is a very rare man, indeed. I was so young and dumb that I thought the world was my oyster and that men like Nik were a dime a dozen instead of one in a million so after six years, I let him go. I spent the next six wishing I hadn't. We stayed friends and kept in touch, and eventually, I realized that in the end we had had the perfect love, past tense, but it never could have lasted. He traveled and studied and met a new love. And then, this winter, he died. Suddenly.
I was in love with Sabine in my 30s. She was the first person I met when I got to Tucson and the instant her giant dark-sparkle eyes met mine, I knew we would be best friends. She was exotic and slightly dangerous with a sharp tongue and a delicious sense of humor. Like me she was a no-nonsense, hard-working farm girl with a sophisticated artistic streak, fiercely loyal to her friends and family. She had a tough exterior and sweet marshmallow insides. She saved me from the terror of being alone -- immediately making her community available to me. We threw elaborate parties together, cooked complicated meals, walked our dogs and hit the bars. Every time I moved, she rounded up a trailer and loaded up her old pick-up with my junk. She let me sob on her shoulder when my heart got broken and we laughed uncontrollably at the expense of others, at inside jokes, at ourselves. She confided all her hopes and fears in me, and I, in her. Probably because we were so similar: spirited, opinionated, with a chip-on-our-shoulder and our hearts-on-our-sleeves, we would occasionally have a knock-down drag-out shouting match and then wouldn't talk for months. We always found our way back to each other. When I moved away, we kept in touch and visited each other and talked on the phone all the time. Until this past summer when I got involved with another piece-of-shit man, and "insert long confusing story here" Sabine felt betrayed:
"Joce, Life has a funny way of weaving complicated webs. How our friendship began and how it ended would be hard for the best of screenwriters to craft. I appreciate the email and knew the time would come to talk about how it all fell apart. We've been there for each other through the best of times and the worst of times over the past decade supporting each other in one way or another and the next decade will most definitely be different because what do they say…Without change there would be no butterflies? Well, now that we've both rolled our eyes, scoffed and muttered "fuck you, Elaine" under our breath here comes the truth. Like you I'm not sure how to react, what to say or what hashing out needs to be done in order to find some kind of closure. I'm tired, old days are gone, old friends are gone and I feel like I've buried yet another sister I desperately wanted. Perhaps that says something about my need for female companionship and the truth that perhaps it's not in the cards."
I disagreed with her assertions, I apologized, I begged for forgiveness, but the truth is, and if anybody knows this, it's me, friendships, like other relationships, have a lifespan. I thought maybe she'd soften when she heard about The Sheriff dying. I knew it was over, for good, when she learned about Nik, and she didn't reach out. She was done, it probably took her years to get there, the second half of our uphill marathon friendship. I was the friend Sabine needed at one point in time, but I'm not that person anymore.
So Nik and Sabine are gone, in different ways, true, but gone nonetheless. I wasn't prepared the last time I talked to either to say a proper goodbye or to thank them for enriching my life in countless, invaluable ways. That's the thing about endings. They don't often happen on our terms.
And yet, both of them are still so present in my life. I am constantly stumbling on a thought, or remembering an experience, an event or conversation, that we shared. Daily, maybe hourly, my eye catches a sentence in a story, or my ear, the bar of a song, or I'll glance in a drawer or move an object on a shelf and all of a sudden they are there. Next to my front door there is the beautiful Art Deco mirror that hung in the house that Nik and I shared. A small chip out of each corner from when it traveled all the way to Indiana with us. Here is a stack of stationary that he printed for me on his old platen letterpress. My name and a little pink umbrella with matching pink envelopes. Here is the picture of me and Sabine at her wedding and there is the rocking chair that she lovingly restored for me; small with wide armrests with just the slightest hiccup when it rocks. Here is the green pebbled leather notebook where Nik kept notes and wrote the grocery list in his distinctive stylish hand, "coffee filters, spinach, red wine vinegar." Here is the thin gold ring topped with a humble gray button, a thirty-ninth birthday gift, the one before this one, when Sabine and I were still friends. When I got a new phone, the day after Nik's funeral, for some reason it reverted itself to 2014: all my pictures, and contacts and messages. There at the top of the text folder, dated two years to the day, was a message from Nik, "Thanks for taking time out to say hi. It was great to see you!"
Who will leave and what will remain of them? It's almost never who you expect. And the way they leave, that will surprise you, too. And after they are gone, what things will interrupt your day to inspire aching nostalgia, conjuring up the smile, the laugh, the smell or touch of the person you loved? The older I get the more the more my world is littered with those remnants.
On a hot, sweaty day at the end of August I was pouring wine at the annual Basque Wine Festival and a guy came up to my table and said to me, "Jocelyn? It's Dave. Dave from high school." Of course, I didn't really recognize him (it's been over 20 years, geez!) and I was dismissive, who cares about high school? But, then, something about the interaction stuck with me and I found him on Facebook and asked him out for a beer. When we met he greeted me with the most genuine open and friendly smile, I was taken aback. It was a smile so rare I hadn't seen one in a decade, and I'd only ever seen it from a handful of people: It was the smile of instant connection. Of knowing and understanding and agreeing: we are meant to be. Love is a good place to start my 40s.
But, of course, with love comes the burden of fear. Fear of losing that love to death, to change, to misunderstanding, to circumstances beyond my control. I hold hope clenched in my teeth and breathe through a deviated septum. Do love and loss form a double helix in your heart? They do in mine.

ARTIST: Technoir
On their latest album, Technoir continue to produce solidly crafted synthpop with a modern approach, more influenced by the club beats and slick, understated synthesizers of today's techno scene than the moody analog keyboards of yesteryear. Programmer Steffen Gehring, who has previously played keyboards in Plastic Noise Experience, brings a coldly club-oriented sound to "Breathe" and "Darkest Days," but he's not afraid to add the harmonic moments, either. "Everything I Cannot Have" adds an ethereal piano line to pumping rhythms, recalling the airy trance of Robert Miles, and "All In My Head" laces multiple melody lines over a thumping dance beat. The real draw here, though, is singer Julia Beyer, who has also performed with Psyche side project Inside as well as The Eternal Afflict. Beyer's voice is gorgeous and smooth, and it's also just familiar enough to slip inside Gehring's technical beats and melodies without drawing undo attention to itself. It's not that her approach lacks emotion, and in fact on "Dying Star" she expresses a gorgeous sense of melancholy without detracting at all from the song's dance floor accessibility, but that her vocal precision matches Gehring's programming in its professional quality. Whether on trance-infused club tracks like "Silence" or icy, tranquil ballads like "Near You," her voice has a crystalline quality that evokes a certain sense of remoteness, much like the futuristic synths feel so removed from more traditional instruments. Comparable to The Azoic at their best or even to William Orbit's collaborations with Madonna, Technoir's music is both pretty and unapproachable, the sharp metallic sound of a digital future.

Find answers to the most common 150 Play List questions, including those related to events, prizes, and key dates.
The ParticipACTION 150 Play List is a national program designed to encourage all Canadians to sit less and move more. In celebration of Canada's 150th birthday, we've created the ultimate list of physical activities that define us as Canadian. Participate by challenging yourself to complete them all in 2017 and earn chances to win some amazing prizes, along the way.
The 150 Play List will launch on January 6, 2017 and will close on December 2nd, 2017. 150 Play List Community Program or Event registration will open on January 16, 2017 and close on December 2, 2017.
Yes, there is no cost to sign up for the 150 Play List.
After January 6th, visit participACTION.com/150 and follow the prompt to sign up, by entering your email. Or, connect your Facebook account for easy registration.
Yes. If you are not a Facebook user, you can sign up for the Play List by following the prompts and entering your email. However, some of the site's features (sharing activities, portions of the leaderboard) are only available to Facebook users.
You must be a Canadian resident aged 13 years or older.
The ParticipACTION 150 Play List was created by Canadians for Canadians. From October to December 2016, Canadians submitted or voted on the physical activities they wanted to make the list. The final list was based on Canadians' votes, as well as expert input from our Play List Advisory Committee, a group of representatives from a variety of diverse stakeholder groups across Canada, to ensure the list reflects the diversity of Canada.
No, voting closed on December 9th, 2016.
Log in to your account and scroll down to the 150 Play List Activity Centre. On the "Find Activities" tab, search or scroll to find the activity you've recently completed. Once you've found the activity you wish to track, click the card and then the "Track this Activity" button. After tracking an activity, the checkmark on the front of the card will turn green.
You can also add activities you intend to try at a later date to your Wish List by tapping the "Add to Wish List" button. And for quick access, the last 7 activities you've tracked will appear on the "Recently Completed" tab.
We're relying on the honour system, here. This program is intended to help you learn more about what physical activities you love, so that you're more likely to keep doing them. Our hope is that you try new activities honestly, and you honestly have fun while doing them!
There is a realistic amount of time we expect the average person will need to work through the Play List. For some it might be a few months, but for others, it might be a full year. Even if you were to rush through completing all 150, we believe you could only realistically check off 10 activities in one day.
You will earn 5 entries for registering, 10 for your first activity, and 1 entry for every completed activity following that.
As you check activities off the Play List, you will earn entries into weekly, monthly and grand-prize draws. So, the more activities you complete, the more chances you will have to win. Being active is its own reward, but a little motivation never hurt.
Participate! The more activities you participate in and check off the list, the more likely you are to unlock new badges for things like consecutive day streaks, collecting unique sets and combinations of activities and special occasions like featured activity days and national holidays. There are more than 80 badges in total — and we challenge you to collect them all!
First, make sure you're logged in. Then, visit the Leaderboard and scroll down to see how you rank!
To become eligible to win prizes, click Register on the ParticipACTION 150 Play List home page and complete the required fields to create an account – including the contest opt-in. If you do not complete the contest opt-in, you can still log activities and collect badges, but you will not earn contest entries.
Prizes include gift cards, activity trackers, trips for 2 to Canada's most beautiful locations, and even a 2017 Chevrolet vehicle of your choice (up to $40,000 value)!
There is no limit, so keep logging your activities!
If you win a prize, a notification will pop-up on your screen when you log in to the site. Clicking on this notification will allow you to view details about your prize and how to claim it. An email will also be sent to the address you provided during registration.
Prize winners are chosen based on a random draw. But remember, the more activities you track, the more entries you earn and the better your odds of winning.
As part of the program, our ParticipACTION 150 Play List crew will be traveling from coast to coast across Canada in 2017 for 100 different events, big and small. These official Tour Stops are where you will be able to register on-site, meet our Play List crew and participate in a few activities on the Play List. Community Events are activities and programs arranged and hosted by local organizations or sport associations in celebration of the ParticipACTION 150 Play List.
A complete list of all official ParticipACTION 150 Play List Tour Stops and local Community Events is available on our Events page . A chronological list of upcoming events can be found on the side, or you can search the map to find events closest to you. Official 150 Play Tour Stop events are also listed under Events on the ParticipACTION Facebook page.
Visit the Community Resources page to register your local 150 Play List event or program. Events and programs that are open to the public will be posted on the Events page.
For a limited time only we have new, limited inventory of Event Celebration Kits for organizations who register a ParticipACTION 150 Play List Event or Program. Available while supplies last. All registered events and programs will also be featured on the Tour Stops & Events Page.
We have also prepared downloadable toolkits to support community, workplace and school events. These kits feature printable posters, tips for planning and promoting your event or program, and more!
The final day to hold a community event or program is December 2, 2017 and event submissions will remain open until this date. That said, to run a successful 150 Play List event, we recommend you give yourself ample time to plan, promote and secure administration for the day, including volunteers.
No, you don't.
We encourage any kind of organization to register and host 150 Play List Programs and Events – whether you're a school, workplace or community organization.
Downloadable toolkits that include tips and tricks for success, printable assets to promote your event or program, and more are available on the Community Resources page and following event registration. Kits are customized for specific group needs to make planning easy and fun.
For example, the school kit contains options to bring the 150 Play List to life during classroom time or alternatively, in phys-ed class. We've also provided the assets to turn your school play day into a 150 Play List Play Day.
ParticipACTION is a national non-profit, charitable organization that helps Canadians sit less and move more. Originally established in 1971, ParticipACTION works with its partners, which include sport, physical activity, recreation organizations, government and corporate sponsors, to make physical activity a vital part of everyday life.
Thanks for your interest, but we aren't currently looking for volunteer support at this time.
There are countless reasons why you should be more active. Put simply, being more active means living a better life. When you meet the guidelines for your age group, you reduce the risk of chronic disease while creating a more focused mind, a stronger, fitter body, and all in all, a more enjoyable life.
We can relate. But, being active doesn't have to mean hours of work at the gym. We have a million and one ideas to help you sneak more physical activity into the routines in your daily life. Follow our blog Pep Talk to see some of our time-saving ideas.
Schedule activity in to your calendar. If it's booked in your calendar, you're more likely to follow through. Learn all about the power of positive routines. Let social time do double-duty and get active with your friends and family. Just getting started? Try our beginner's walking program for an easy way to get started.
Research shows that positive peer and family influence have an effect on improving the physical activity levels of others. Kudos to you for stepping up as an active role model. Every family is different, so we'd suggest you search for tips and ideas in our blog and try something that works best for you.
You can see and print the full list of 150 activities here.
In accordance with our contest rules and regulations and associated contest entries for weekly, monthly and grand prizes a user CANNOT uncheck an activity once it has been tracked. If an activity was tracked in error be sure to get out there and complete that activity!
The ParticipACTION 150 Play List program supports the current version and the previous version for each of the major browsers, including Google Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. While much of the website functionality will operate correctly in outdated browser versions, for the optimal user experience you will want to update your preferred browser.
Users will earn bonus points for tracking new activities for the first time as well as an initial sign-up bonus. This can result in some users earning many entries into each weekly draw but remember this resets each week so be sure to stay active to increase your chances to win. You also get points for tracking an activity each time you complete it.
Users are not eligible for prizes until completing their account registration. This includes providing your date of birth and location in accordance with the ParticipACTION 150 Play List contest rules and regulations. This information will be used to confirm identity for prize winners and will not be shared with any third party.
This information is required to ensure registrants in the ParticipACTION 150 Play List are of legal age to participate and also to confirm identity for prize winners to ensure prizes are correctly awarded. Your date of birth and location are required but your phone number is optional, but remember, your phone number will make it easier for us to contact you if you are selected as a prize winner.
City and province search is done through the Google Maps application programming interface (API) and some cities and towns are not listed due to size or other municipal rules. In the event you cannot locate your city or town, simply select the next closest city, town, larger region or municipality your city or town would fall under.
Unfortunately, all of our tour stops have already been scheduled but we encourage all interested organizations, schools and municipalities to host their own 150 Play List event or program. For more information on hosting a Play List event or program visit the Community Resources page. And while you're there don't forget to register your event or program, any that are open to the public and have a participatory opportunity will appear on the Tour Stops & Events page of our website.
Due to an overwhelming response, micro-granting application is now closed. It's important to note that you can still submit your public events and programs to have your listing featured on the Tour Stops & Events Page.
The ParticipACTION 150 Play List was built by Canadians for Canadians. By that we mean that Canadians were invited to submit and vote for their favourite activities from October through December in 2016. If you submitted an activity and it did not appear on the final list, it may have been for one or more reasons.
First, the activity might not have received enough votes.
Second, the list was reviewed and consulted on by the Play List Advisory Committee, a group of representatives from a variety of diverse stakeholder groups in Canada to ensure the list was inclusive and reflected the diversity of Canada. If your activity did not make the list, it is because it did not meet our criteria. The criteria for our decision-making was focused on the following key tenets: physical activity, adaptability, diversity, gender equity and minimal barriers to entry.
Finally, some activities that didn't make the final list may appear as variations of a similar activity. We encourage you to read the activity description pages to learn what the variations are as trying any one of them will check the activity off your list.
We want to thank all Canadians for their activity submissions but we are not making changes to the final ParticipACTION 150 Play List. We hope that even if your activity did not make the final Play List that you will find a new physical activity you might enjoy by participating.
We worked with the ParticipACTION 150 Play List Advisory Committee to ensure the list was inclusive and reflected the diversity of Canada. It has been our top priority to ensure that all activities are as accessible as possible to Canadians of any age, ability and stage in life.
This includes substitutions or variations of each activity that may be easier to achieve from home, or may be of lower cost to participants.
To get more information on each activity, click on the 'Learn More' link below each activity box. Here you can learn about the history of the activity, how to play, and ways to adapt the activity to support people with sensory, learning/cognitive disabilities or mobility limitations.
No, users may only register for the 150 Play List as individuals. However, register using Facebook to track and compete against friends using the Facebook Leaderboard. In addition, we encourage you to host your own group events using the 150 Play List tools. Please visit the "Community Resources" section for more information and to access these tools.
First, let's make sure you're starting in the right place! Registered community programs and events that are open to the public and enable Canadians to check physical activities off their Play List can be found on our Tour Stops & Events page under the Community Programs & Events tab. Make sure you select this tab when searching for your community program or event – every event that is approved will appear in chronological order in the side bar.
If your program or event is listed in the side bar, but doesn't appear on the map it may be because the map function uses the Google Maps application programming interface (API) and it doesn't recognize the address that was inputted during registration. Examples of addresses that may not be recognized include landmarks, intersections, and/or partial or incomplete addresses. When registering your program or event make sure you use the official street address as it would appear on Google Maps.
A random draw will be conducted to award the Grand Prize (the "GrandPrize Draw"), subject to these Rules (including the verification and skill-testing question requirements) on Friday December 8 2017 at approximately 2:00 PM ET in Mississauga, Ontario from all eligible Contest entries received during the Contest Period. One (1) potential winner will be randomly selected in the Grand Prize Draw for the Grand Prize. The Grand Prize Draw will be conducted by the Contest Administrator.
A random draw (a "Monthly Prize Draw") will be conducted within five (5) business days following the close of each Monthly Period for which that Monthly Prize is being awarded.
A random draw (a "Weekly Prize Draw") to award ten (10) Weekly Prizes, will be conducted within five (5) business days following the close of each Weekly Period.

Decorating Small Spaces In Grand Style
3 comments:
Wow! Very likeable to decorate the small space with limestone. This photo of design is very nice. These designs are not easily identifiable as this look permanent architecture, which can make your place more attractive. But recently, I have decorated my new house floor and my home with architecture design from architecturalstoneelements.com, which is the best company for stone elements. Love your posts!!Thanks a lot for sharing...ReplyDelete
Wow! I really love the trend you're aiming for. It's like living in a castle, only it's a small one. Hahaha! The designs are all detailed, and the combination of decorations are greatly done. I think I should call you Queen Lisa. Hahahaha! Thanks for sharing that! Kudos and all the best to you!ReplyDelete

The first thing that I did when considering this marketing push was to reconsider the target audience for the Wafflr app. If I'm going to (a) promote the app to more people and then (b) communicate the benefits of the app – I need to know who those people are…
It's not like we didn't consider this in the first place; Wafflr was designed to help public speakers prepare. However, I have sometimes wondered if the app would have been better off targeted at a specific group, for example, wedding speakers. If I think this is true, now would be a good time to focus.
My goal here is to market the app as a premium product serving a specific niche. Whilst 'public speaking' is broader than 'speaking at a wedding' it is in my view, still a tightly-defined niche. There are good reasons to focus on public speakers as the target audience for this app:
- Public speaking is well known field; it has established problems
- The problems within the various sub-categories of public speaking are mostly shared, so good solutions will apply to many in the niche
- There are existing examples of succeful, premium, public speaking apps in the store
- The limited feedback we do have for Wafflr suggests varied use within the broader, public speaking niche
Wafflr: changing the name
Another question I've often asked myself: did we set this app back by going with something too quirky for a name?
First, the link to speakings is pretty thin: to 'waffle'. I'm not sure on this, but it might even by an English thing… Regardless, it probably doesn't translate well. "Public speaking" is likely well understood by a French or German person. But "waffle", which is then adapted to 'Wafflr'… The meaning may well be lost.
Second, it's a fun play on the problem being solved. 'Waffle' – meaning prolongued speech about something pointless or unimportant. Whilst it might work for some – it doesn't line up well with the aspirations of a person who wants help with an important public address!
The name needs to change.
What do I want from a name?
Relevance is the primary motivation for change. I want the name to instantly communicate this is an app for public speakers. Easy to remember, easy to spells and 'catchy' are important, but they're below relevance.
Website. At the heart of this marketing push will be a new website. Ideally I'd like the domain to match the name of the app. Secondary to the domain name are social media accounts. Whether or not they should be seconday, I'm not sure. They're secondary for me, at the moment, because I have less experience and less of an idea about how I'm going to use them.
Short(ish). I don't want something that's cumbersome or difficult to say; I suppose longer names are more likely to be cumbersome. That said, my first priority for length (especially in this field), is that the name has to fit on the springboard.
With relevance being at the top of the list I wanted to stay close to the act of speaking, or making a speech, to an audience.
'Speech' has a couple of problems. First, it restricts the scope of the problem being solved. Making a speech is often associated with something like a wedding speech, or a speech made when someone leaves a job. It may also be consfused with the base ability to speak out loud – nothing to do with addressing an audience at all.
'Talk' / 'Talker' has similar problems to speech, and more importantly, it's needlessly removed from the 'speaking' component of the well known phrase, 'public speaking'.
For the audience part, there aren't any short and snappy nouns, so again I saw no reason to deviate from 'public'.
I did consider a bunch of verbs associated with how the app can help speakers: 'plan', 'prepare', 'practice', 'deliver'… and also some adjectives like 'perfect' and 'pro'.
Cycling around candidate names simply highlighted that I wanted to use the name that everyone knows: Public Speaking or Public Speaker.
And so I arrived at PublicSpeakr.
- It communicates the intent of the app
- The .com is available (along with Twitter and Facebook accounts)
- It fits on the springboard
- I think it has a good feel
- Personal bonus: the trailing 'r' keeps some of the orignal, 'Wafflr' history
Next, I need to update the app…

Creating public-private partnerships in corporate citizenship is rarely easy. Scorecards, conference calls, memoranda of understanding, and that's before you've even begun the actual project. So why are CSR professionals seeking more partners, further collaboration, and more strategic alignment?
One of the biggest reasons is because stakeholders, especially consumers, are noticing who your partners are and examining the details of your work together. A 2010 Nonprofit Marketing Trend Tracker survey found that 60 percent of respondents indicated that they actively seek partnership details before supporting a cause and 75 percent of American consumers reported that they wanted to hear about the results of a corporate citizenship partnership, including the effect on the social issue or money raised for the cause.
In planning these partnerships, the biggest prerequisite – no matter where a partnership falls on the collaboration continuum – is that there needs to be a good fit between the cause and the business.[1] In line with previous research, they found that high company-cause fit improves attitude towards the company-cause partnership and increases purchase intent of the company's product.
In addition, a public-private partnership is arguably the most comprehensive, complex, and responsive form of stakeholder engagement. And stakeholder engagement matters to your company's bottom line. Of course a firm's financial performance can fluctuate for various reasons, including factors outside of its control, but good relations with stakeholders can help offset those risks and accelerate recovery from poor financial performance.[2]
There is an expectation that corporate citizenship departments should be partnering with community partners or national non-governmental organizations on a wide-variety of environmental, social, and governance issues and opportunities. If you are reading this blog, you are probably working with a partner at this very moment.
So, how good is your partnership? Grab a pen and paper and answer the questions below. If you can provide tangibles examples of how you achieve these six criteria, then you probably have a successful public-private partnership:
- Do we identify specific projects for collaboration and supply the required internal resources?
- Do we exercise due diligence and formulate criteria for partner selection?
- Do we develop mutually acceptable procedures for collaboration?
- Do both parties define problems clearly and explore feasible and measurable solutions?
- Does the joint team focus on a manageable set of tasks that can be implemented quickly?
- Do we maintain confidentiality?[3]
How did you do? Do you have some tangible examples of how you make public-private partnerships work?
If you've got a successful partnership, we'd love to hear about it. Or better yet, feature your corporate citizenship work in an upcoming webinar. Drop me an email and let's discuss.

Since its founding in 2009, ECS has completed over 70 sewage detection/source tracking projects in 14 different states and over 30 Ship and Sniff services from 11 different states. Some of our project locations and clients include:
We all know that dogs can help humans by using their amazing scenting abilities, such as finding missing persons and detecting bombs, narcotics, and arson materials. How they do it and how accurate they are, however, has been difficult to study scientifically. ECS has been fortunate to attract the attention of the scientific community to study our canines and their abilities to locate and source track human sewage.
The first study was funded and published by the Water Environment Research Foundataion (WERF) and conducted by the City of Santa Barbara Creeks Division and the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2010. Side-by-side lab testing for bacterial, chemical, and human DNA markers was done for the locations investigated by the canines. The final research report found:

A follow up to the original WERF study was published in Water Environment Research in June 2014. That publication found:

Many ECS clients are now conducting side-by-side sample collection and lab testing for bacterial, chemical, and/or human DNA indicators at sites prioritized by the ECS canine scenting results. The combined results are a powerful tool for locating or narrowing down illicit discharge locations and providing more comprehensive information for decision making.

Hit Broadway musical Waitress is rumoured to be heading to London's West End in 2017. Featuring an original score by acclaimed singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles the musical is based on the motion picture of the same name written by Adrienne Shelley. After opening on Broadway at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre on 24 April 2016, the uplifting show has impressed audiences in America and is reportedly set to transfer to London.
Waitress tells the story of Jenna Hunterson, a waitress who is in an unhappy marriage to her husband Earl. When she unexpectedly discovers she is pregnant, she starts an affair with her gynecologist and begins to look for ways out of her abusive relationship, embracing her unique pie-making skills as a chance for a new life.
Waitress premiered at the American Repertory Theater (ART) in Cambridge, Massachusetts in summer 2015. Featuring direction by Diane Paulus and choreography by Chase Brock, the production starred Tony Award winner Jessie Mueller who led the cast at the Broadway opening.The production opened on Broadway in March 2016 at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre, where it is currently running.
Based on the 2007 indie film Waitress which was written and directed by Adrienne Shelly, the stage rights for the show were purchased shortly after its release. Five-time Grammy Award nominee Sara Bareilles released a studio album called What's Inside: Songs from Waitress, featuring music from the show which debuted at number 10 on the US Billboard 200. The musical features an original score of songs by Bareilles, written in her light country-rock style performed each evening by a live on stage band.
Waitress was nominated for four Tony Awards including Best Original Score, Best Musical and Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical for Jessie Mueller. The production begins its first US National tour in October.
About Waitress
Jenna is a waitress and expert pie maker stuck in a small town and a loveless marriage. Faced with an unexpected pregnancy, Jenna fears she may have to abandon the dream of opening her own pie shop forever… until a baking contest in a nearby county and the town's handsome new doctor offer her a tempting recipe for happiness. Supported by her quirky crew of fellow waitresses and loyal customers, Jenna summons the secret ingredient she's been missing all along - courage.

Tiësto teams up with leading audio manufacturer AKG for "AKG by Tiësto" range of headphones
Written by Michael
April 6, 2012 11:18 am
Oh, lord, they're all at it! It seems it's very much the thing to do if you're an international artist – release your own branded headphones. Whilst there have been some interesting models, it remains difficult to see past this as anything more than a marketing exercise and an attempt to stimulate income that artists and labels alike clearly feel is lost to piracy.
But, we have to hold our judgment. First of all, AKG are a very commended audio manufacturer and Tiësto's headphones may actually be, dare we say it, rather good. Though of course until we hear them we can only speculate. Secondly, it's undeniable that artists and DJs are going to have to find other ways, beside record sales, to generate income.
It's all very well going on mad tour schedules, it's slightly worrying when you see the same DJ on the bill for 7 festivals held in 5 different Countries in just 9 days. And these hectic tour schedules seem to be becoming the norm – when you look at the schedules of artists like Gareth Emery and Tiësto it's hardly surprising when stories start circulating of DJs collapsing due to exhaustion – most notably Deadmau5 last year.
How long they can keep this up is anybody's guess, but perhaps the headphone fad is a genuine attempt to create alternative revenue streams, allowing DJs to still compete internationally and run their labels whilst at the same time, possibly, giving them more breathing space and the chance to tone down their schedules.
All we know is, there are going to have to be other ways besides tours and record sales for DJs to generate income, especially those who run record labels as well. Whether or not Tiësto's latest venture into the headphone market is the right way , the jury is out.

Dr. Churchill To Lead Medical School
Robert Churchill, MD, will serve as interim dean of the University of Missouri School of Medicine. He is the school's chair and Gwilym S. Lodwick, MD, and Maria Antonia Lodwick Distinguished Professor in Radiology, and he previously led the medical school and health sciences center during his more than 20 years with MU.
Dr. Churchill will succeed William Crist, MD, who is leaving MU after eight years as dean to serve as vice president for health affairs at the University of Arizona. They will work together on the transition until Dr. Churchill assumes full responsibilities as interim dean on Oct. 16.
Dr. Churchill arrived at MU in 1987 as chair and professor of radiology. After three years as the medical school's vice dean, Dr. Churchill became interim dean in 1998. He also served as interim vice chancellor and chief executive officer for MU's health sciences center until 2000, when he returned to the department of radiology.
In addition to his experience leading the medical school and health sciences center, as department chair Dr. Churchill has recruited a full complement of radiologists, run a highly competent radiology training program and directed a powerful research program that now encompasses nano and molecular medicine. In 2005, he helped open Missouri Radiology Imaging Center, one of the most advanced resonance imaging facilities in the state. Before joining MU, Dr. Churchill served as vice chair of radiology at Loyola University in Maywood, Ill., where he completed medical school, residency and fellowship training. He also completed a fellowship at General Electric and served the company as an adviser.
As interim dean, Dr. Churchill will oversee the medical school's approximately 650 faculty members, 1,500 staff members, and 1,000 medical students, residents, fellows and other students completing advanced degrees. He also will be responsible for University Physicians, the practice plan for the medical school's more than 440 faculty physicians, and he will work closely with the medical school's 7,300 physician alumni.
Dr. Churchill is highly respected by his colleagues, and he is adept at both the academic and financial aspects of medicine. He also is fair-minded, forthright and collegial. I look forward to working closely with Dr. Churchill as we build on our progress in improving patient care, education and research. Please join me in congratulating him and offering him our full support.

6 Scene Beat Sheet for extended LARP mods (Scene 0)
I've been working on a 12 scene beat sheet for line-course LARP games. As part of the process, I decided I wanted to have a 6 scene version, since that is likely to be a lot more appropriate for 99% of the LARPs out there, and I'll likely use it as well.
For a quick reference, this is a very meta outline for a mod, describing what happens in each scene in broad strokes. It provides a skeleton, and it's the detail that adds the meat to it.
There's a few rules I'm adhering to here.
Rule #1 — Any scene must be a full scene. It must include one (or more) of the following:
- Provide a place for PC development
- confront or challenge a PC's goal/belief
- introduce new world canon related to a PC
- Establish or increase the stakes
- horizontally increase the stakes with complexity
- vertically increase the stakes with severity
- z-axis increase the stakes by involving more PC, or making it more personal to a PC
- Playground elements (i.e. simple fun)
- There's something "live-action" related to the encounter, which is something for everybody to interact with physically. This is commonly a combat, but can be physical challenge/puzzle. These elements are like sugary foods, they are great in moderation, but you need something in-between them to cleanse the palate.
Rule #2 — Always try to involve the entire subset of players with every scene
I can best describe this rule by the classic violations of the rule.
- The role-playing scene with a single NPC, which will probably be dominated by just a few PCs.
- The puzzle scene that can only be interacted with by a single player at a time.
Without further ado, here's the first "beat", Scene #0.
Scene (0) – Pre-Game Conflict Intro
goal(s): introduce the conflict, identify the characters involved.
element(s): role-play, exposition
This doesn't necessarily need to be a scene. This is the introduction of the conflict. Ideally this is pre-game with email based "lore" about the conflict, and identifying the players that will be involved.
However, without pre-game lore, this becomes an additional scene by necessity. In the common parlance of a world course game, this is the hook scene.
In the context of hook scene, this is usually the single NPC that comes to the camp, has a problem and asks for help with that problem. This does accomplish the minimal goals, but it breaks both rules #1 and #2.
All too often, the NPC is somebody the players have never met, and the conflict is something the players don't care about. The players play along, since it's the content, and they want the content. However, kicking it up into a full scene takes just a simple detail. Simply include something from one character's background.
There is a simple twist to really kick it up a notch, and it has several side benefits. It does require a kick-ass NPC that can adlib.
(1) The conflict of the mod should relate directly to a PC. The low-hanging fruit here is to have the bad guys be the bad guys for a certain PC.
(2) The "Mr. Johnson" NPC enters the camp, and starts talking to people. The NPC does NOT approach to the target PC. When he talks to people, Mr. Johnson may or may not discuss the conflict. Just as importantly, the Mr. Johnson asks about the PC he is talking to, and relationships the PC has with others. Let them infodump a bit, as everybody loves to talk about their character.
(3) Eventually, the conflict leaks back the the "PC that cares". If not, the Mr. Johnson can prempt the action by approaching that PC. It's there that the "hire offer" comes. At this point, the Mr. Johnson has hopefully talked to a small subset of players. Assuming you are not targeting the mod for the entire playerbase, this can be conveniently is about the number of players you intend for the mod, as well as the power level of PCs.
(4) The Mr. Johnson should not immediately say "ok, let's go". Instead, they should be trepidatious about the motives, virtues and/or skills of the PCs. Mr. Johnson should do an in-game version of the Circle. Ask each character how they know each other. It's possible (if your game culture allows it) that the Mr. Johnson could take an ST role here and tell folks OOC that it is appropriate to make up something new here.
(5) The Mr. Johnson, now appeased that the players are virtuous and/or skilled enough to tackle the conflict, presents the offer. This is a great place to confront a PC's goals and beliefs. Are they in it for the gold, the glory, or the good?
(6) Conveniently, this process takes 15-30 min, which gives time to set up the rest of the mod. It's also a pretty good chunk of content all on it's own.
Whatever your conflict is, it's important that it's small to start with. Not every adventure is about saving the universe from certain doom. If your conflict starts at the top, it has nowhere to go but down.

EcoDrought Project Featured in NDMC Newsletter
The National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC), based out of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, posted a new issue of DroughtScape this week featuring the work of one of our colelagues, Shelley Crausbay. Shelley is part of a Science for Nature and People Partnership (SNAPP) working group on Ecological Drought that has been creating a working definition and framework for applying an ecological drought approach to science, planning, and policy management. This new definition of drought takes into consideration the health of ecosystems and how healthy ecosystems in turn benefit human communities.

Sarah and Francisco had a baby boy on March 8th! Andrew is adorable. I can't wait to meet him in person. He is an absolute cutie!
When Jake and I were out in Los Angeles for my job interview we went to a quilt shop, Sew Modern, in Hollywood. It was my first big splurge on fabrics (Of course I had to celebrate). I bought this great car print that looked totally "boy" to me.
I decided to make a zig zag quilt. I'd been seeing many of them in "blog land". I followed a tutorial that I found here that showed how to do a zig zag quilt without using half square triangles. I decided to alternate the car pattern with coordinating solids. I have to admit that I think the quilt looks a bit too "Charlie Brown".
I couldn't decide on any single binding color so I did a pieced binding with all the solids from the front. I love how it turned out!
I also love the backing fabric- I actually love anything with polka dots. I purchased it at Sew-Fisticated (a discount fabric store) in Cambridge.
I met Sarah in elementary school. We lived about 6 blocks away from each other. We would bike to each other's houses and "meet halfway" which usually meant that Sarah went almost the whole way because it always took me a little longer to do the dishes than I thought it would (optimist). In 6th grade she called me on the phone and told me (about the best news I'd heard so far in my life at that time) that her family was moving only ONE house away from mine! That was the beginning of endless adventures together.
I couldn't help but put in this picture from summer camp. I can't actually remember how old we were in this but our permed hair is awesome. Sarah and I are in the front row: Sarah is in the middle with a blue t-shirt on and I'm next to her on the right with the short "poodle" hair do. My friend Anne is right behind Sarah in the red t-shirt.
This might have been halloween in Junior High or early High School.
For some reason I know that this isn't halloween. We really loved these nun costumes.
If I ever was even slightly cool it was because of Sarah. She was homecoming queen in 1996! I actually sewed the dress I'm wearing in this picture. Back in high school I did a little sewing (clothes for me and clothes for my American Girl Dolls). I was starting the DIY-Handmade movement in the 90's, before it was hip.
Here we are on the last day of high school!
The summer after high school we worked together on the overnight shift stocking shelves at the local grocery store, Hy-Vee. We had a lot of fun. We went on a trip together to Lanesboro and put up a tent, tiki torches and did daily biking trips, so fun! There was a tornado warning during our trip so we spent time huddled in the campground bathroom with the other campers. So Minnesota!
For college, we both went to the University of Minnesota. And we both studied languages. Sarah studied German and I studied Spanish. I got into Salsa dancing and Sarah came out a few times to First Avenue for salsa night. She met Francisco Naranjo and they got married, YAY!
So adorable! What a cute couple!
This blog post was so hard to write because my life is filled with so many memories of Sarah that I had no idea where to start…. this only slightly touches the surface of our lives together. Now we live a long ways apart, but Sarah is always in my heart. She is a big influence on who I am today. Sarah, I love you.

Juno Therapeutics Could Nearly Double On Data, Multiple Catalysts, Say FBR Analysts
In a report published Tuesday, FBR analyst Ed White initiated coverage of Juno Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: JUNO) with an Outperform rating and a price target of $73.
Analyst Ed White said that Juno was an early-stage biotechnology company developing immuno-oncology therapies for the treatment of both solid and liquid tumors.
The company's prominent technologies included Chimeric Antigen Receptor, or CAR, and T-Cell Receptor, or TCR, which "genetically modify T cells to exhibit specific receptors that can recognize cancer antigens on the surface or inside of a cancerous or disease cell and kill the cancer cells," White wrote.
The company had reported tremendous success with its product candidates in Phase I studies carried out for treatment of pediatric and adult patients with relapsed refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the FBR report noted.
White said that Juno intended to soon start a pivotal Phase II trial of JCAR017 in patients suffering from relapsed refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The company also planned to file for FDA approval in late 2016 or early 2017.
The company's collaboration with Celgene Corporation (NASDAQ: CELG) for the development and commercialization of immunotherapies should allow it to accelerate the development of its product pipeline.
Juno was also collaborating with AstraZeneca plc (ADR) (NYSE: AZN) to "conduct combination clinical trials with one of its investigational CD19-directed CAR T cell candidates and MedImmune LLC's investigational programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) immune checkpoint inhibitor, MEDI4736," White added.

This story is told from the point of view of a gorilla named Ivan, who lives at the "Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade". There, he observes the world around him, and enjoys drawing and watching television. This story offers an interesting and unique perspective. It is so much fun to see inside Ivan's mind, and hear the thoughts, feelings, and perspectives of this lovable gorilla.
During just our first few days of reading, my students and I have come across so many wonderful gems and words of wisdom from Ivan and Stella (an elephant, and one of Ivan's best friends). We have enjoyed discussing the meaning behind Ivan's words and thoughts.
My students have been using the following printable to respond to some of the remarkable and meaningful quotes that we come across as we read...
I have been typing out some of my favorites, and students have been gluing them into the quote box. Then they respond!! As we move forward with this story, I plan to let them select their own quotes to respond to!!
My students have realized that so much can be learned about the characters and themes of the story, from what the characters have to say. If you haven't had a chance to read this amazing story, it's a must-read!! You are sure to fall in love with Ivan and the other characters just as much as my students and I have!!!

Director: Steve Antin
Writers: Steve Antin
Actors: Christina Aguilera, Cher, Stanley Tucci, Kristen Bell
Original Music by: Christophe Beck
Cinematography by: Bojan Bazelli
Running time: 1 hour 56mins
PLOT(Credits to Screen Gems)
Ali (Christina Aguilera) is a small-town girl with a big voice who escapes hardship and an uncertain future to follow her dreams to LA. After stumbling upon The Burlesque Lounge, a majestic but ailing theater that is home to an inspired musical revue, Ali lands a job as a cocktail waitress from Tess (Cher), the club's proprietor and headliner. Burlesque's outrageous costumes and bold choreography enrapture the young ingenue, who vows to perform there one day.
Soon enough, Ali builds a friendship with a featured dancer (Julianne Hough), finds an enemy in a troubled, jealous performer (Kristen Bell), and garners the affection of Jack (Cam Gigandet), a bartender and fellow musician. With the help of a sharp-witted stage manager (Stanley Tucci) and gender-bending host (Alan Cumming), Ali makes her way from the bar to the stage. Her spectacular voice restores The Burlesque Lounge to its former glory, though not before a charismatic entrepreneur (Eric Dane) arrives with an enticing proposal…
Personal Comments (may contains spoiler, read at your own risk)
Obviously we will focus on Singing and Dancing for this movie.
Cher and Christina Aguilera
Cher didn't perform as much as Christina Aguilera, but her singing is awesome too.
Especially this song: You Haven't Seen The Last Of Me

Dance is well executed and performed, love how they coordinate each other.
Now he is really good in acting a "sissy" guy in this movie. In fact I really love how he always tease Cher in this movie. Anyway, do you think he is Straight? :)
The guy with eye liner
Cam Gigandet
This part really LMAO. ( Do you want some Famous Amos Cookie ? )
The jealous performer
Kristen Bell

Anti-Reflective Technology
Lenses without anti-reflective technology develop visible light reflections that can be dangerous when driving on wet roads or at night. The anti-reflective technology in ZEISS PureCoat® PLUS helps reduce reflections to less than 1% of the light — compared with 7% to 13% for uncoated lenses.
Scratch-Resistant Technology
Plastic lenses help make glasses lighter and more comfortable, but they're much more prone to scratches than glass lenses. The high-quality, scratch-resistant technology in ZEISS PureCoat® PLUS helps keep lenses from getting scratched.
Anti-Static Technology
Dirt and dust can cling to traditional untreated lenses, blurring your vision. But the patented anti-static element in ZEISS PureCoat® PLUS helps repel contaminants like dust and debris.
Hydrophobic Technology
Grease or droplets of water can slide off the surface of lenses treated with this super-slick coating, so the lenses are quicker and easier to clean. ZEISS PureCoat® PLUS provides superior super-hydrophobic performance that keeps the lenses clean longer.
Easier Edging
ZEISS SureGrip™ technology dramatically reduces the slippage problems found with many of today's super-slick lens coatings, so uncut lenses can be edged more easily and effectively.

An inflatable obstacle course which is heading to Cardiff for the first time this year is proving to be a massive draw with more than two thirds of the tickets already sold.
Gung-Ho! Cardiff, a course stretching 5k, will feature obstacles at Bute Park on Saturday, May 21, for you to crawl, climb and clamber across to your heart's content.
The event was launched this year and has only been held in Newcastle, Liverpool and London so far.
Now organisers have rolled it out across to eight more locations due to its popularity, including the Welsh capital - and there's still time to sign up if you haven't already done so.
So what can we expect from the race?
The course features 10 obstacles, including the 200ft-long Thriller slide.
The race is not timed, a team of between two and 100 members can enter and there is no paint or mud involved.
How do I take part?
Runners, who must be at least 4ft tall, receive a free bib with race number, Gung-Ho! t-shirt and headband, while any spectators can attend for free and enjoy the food stalls and music. Tickets and more information are available here .
Tickets cost £30 but prices will increase to £35 tomorrow (February 12).
Who's behind it?
The creator of Gung-Ho! is CBeebies presenter Alex Winters, who hails from Cardiff – and he's hoping the event in the Welsh capital will become the best-selling and biggest of Gung-Ho!'s 12 events in 2016.
The dad-of-three said: "This race feels extra special since I was born and bred in the city. It's a real homecoming for me.
"Since I came up with the idea it has been a dream to get it back home, and now that dream has become a reality.
More: When is the IAAF/Cardiff University World Half Marathon Championship in Cardiff?
"Ticket sales have been absolutely amazing but to be honest I am not at all surprised so many people are getting involved.
"Cardiff is such an incredible city with such a great energy – it suits Gung-Ho! down to the ground. I know the people of Cardiff will help to make the day absolutely amazing.
"I really hope we can make this the biggest event of the year and the way things are going I see no reason why it shouldn't be."
More: PugFest is taking over Pride Cymru this summer
Alex came up with the idea for an inflatable obstacle course while sat in front of the TV – that idea spawned a new craze with around 16,000 people part in Gung-Ho!'s first three events in 2015.
Tens of thousands of people are now expected to go Gung-Ho! in 2016, while charities across the UK are also set to benefit thanks to sponsorship and local partnerships.
Alex, 39, added: "I was watching Ninja Warrior with my kids and they were saying how great it would be to do something like that.
"I immediately thought of It's a Knockout, Takeshi's Castle, Total Wipeout – TV shows that I and other people love but are never going to be able to take part in.
"I thought: 'What if there was something like them available for the public, something everyone could do?'.
More: Fancy a trip to Cardiff's new cat cafe? Here's what to expect when you get there
"It is great that we can help raise money for charities as well. You see so many charities nowadays because so many parts of society need help.
"Gung-Ho! is a great opportunity for people to have great fun and raise money for important causes at the same time – and anyone can do it."

Hello, Crafters.
This morning I posted my video called Lace Trim Butterflies which shows how I made the card I posted here on Friday. The original card was in black and gold and looked really sophisticated.
For the video I changed to Pool Party and Silver Embossing Powder - what a beautiful colour combo this is?
It would make a brilliant wedding or anniversary card in this colour. In fact this design would look great in any of our pastel colours.
The main reason I changed the colour was to make it easier for my viewers to see what I was doing.
As you probably know, I really struggle to get straight lines! When I'm planning my videos I take this into account and have to work out how I can deal with this problem on screen.
The straight lines I was concerned about in this video were the lace trims. The one on the right hand side was fine because I was able to line it up along the outside edge.
I'd worked out I needed the right hand side of the second trim 2 3/8" in from the right hand side. I explained that it's very easy to spoil the heat embossing if you go over with it with an eraser - I know, I've done it!!
As I was about to stamp, I decided to stamp right on top of my pencil marks as the embossing powder with cover it all up totally. Job done!
I eye-balled the positioning of the sentiment and was successful in stamping it straight and in a good position!
The banner looks a lot better on this card than it does on the black and gold card. This is because there is a narrow trim of silver all the way around the Pool Party.
When I trimmed the gold one I misjudged it and I had to cut both the black and the gold to the same length so they lined up!
The detail on the lace trim stamp is absolutely amazing. I thought some of it would be lost through heat embossing but not at all..................that really does sum up the quality of Stampin' Up! stamps.
This is the first video I have included metric measurements! I was requested to do this by one of my viewers.
Although I'm in the UK, I'm a lot more at home with feet and inches - metric is like a foreign language to me! LOL!
With the aid of my ruler, I made all the conversions and I'm confident that they are all correct. If you spot that I've made a mistake, please let me know about it ASAP so I can get it corrected!
Many thanks! ☺Happy Sunday and until tomorrow, happy crafting.

Good Sunday Morning to you Jan, I really love the Crumb Cake version of your card. I don't have this stamp set as yet, but I see that I will have to get it. LOL...AnnReplyDelete
Hi, Ann. I've long been a fan of white embossing on Crumb Cake - I think it's a brilliant combination. Hope it's not too long before you get your stamp set. LOL! Happy crafting, JanB ☺ReplyDelete
