Wondering About The El Rey?
This is really only going to be significant for people in and around Los Angeles, but I figured I would pass it on:
On the night of September 15th, 2002 the El Rey Theatre was shut down by the city for structural repairs. For the past three months it has been a crazy whirlwind of moving shows, giving refunds, answering questions, finding structural engineers, speaking with city, getting permits, and having lengthy conversations with insurance adjusters and lawyers.
Now, three months later we are happy to announce that The El Rey is stronger and safer then ever!! You wont notice anything new when you enter the venue, but you will have the comfort in knowing that when you look up, nothing will come down! The whole ceiling has been retrofitted and will live on for another 100+ burly and brawny years!!
We are happy to report that the El Rey will be back in business in December 2002, kicking off with Sound Tribe Sector 9 on Saturday, December 7th, 2002.
Everyone at the El Rey wanted to take this opportunity to thank our customers, staff, Goldenvoice, independent promoters, the structural engineers, and all the people who had kind words for us during our down time.
The El Rey Theatre is here to stay and we are excited to start rolling out the killer shows once again!!
See you soon,
Rodney, Brad, Jennifer and all the gang at the El Rey
Hornby For The Holidays
Any music snob has read (or should read), High Fidelity by Nick Hornby. It's one of the most fantasically funny and touching novels I have ever read. Nick Hornby is a music fan to the core. There are always references to music in his books. It just so happens that he is coming out with a collection of essays about his favorite songs and songwriters with illustrations by Marcel Dzama. The book will contain a compilation CD, including 11 songs discussed in the book. Without knowing anything more about the book, I've already reserved my copy.
The book is called Songbook, and will be released through McSweeney's the first week in December. McSweeney's books are best ordered through the net since they are hard to find in stores and usually sell out very quickly. In the spirit of the holidays, proceeds from Songbook will benefit Treehouse, a U.K. charity that helps to educate children with autism and related communication disorders, and 826 Valencia, a nonprofit writing lab based in San Francisco.
It Sure Is Dusty In Here
Dear bradbarrish.com,
I apologize for the lack of attention. I love you. I really do. I would not lie to you. You see there's been things going on. Things that have been taking up my time. Life stuff. The suff that draws one away from their computer. I've been getting out more and while I haven't forgotten about you, I realize that you may be feeling neglected. I think I probably would too. Don't worry though, I'm not going anywhere. I just may not be around as much. I've got plans for us though, so don't you worry. Things are going to change. I know I've made such promises before [and not kept them], but this time is different.
Your Webmaster
P.S. You're fly is undone.
Want To Help?
Jeans And A T-Shirt will be getting a new look around the first of the year. The thing is, I don't want to design the new site. I have some ideas for what the new site should look like and how it will function, but there are a lot of other people way more qualified in the area of design and coding. I don't have money, so it's going to have to be some eager design student that wants something nice for their portfolio or a person with a kind heart and some extra time on their hands. I'm also willing to trade my Mac consulting skills for the job. If anyone out there is interested, drop me an email and let me know.

Posted on October 4, 2016
Noted documentarian and veteran programmer Kathy Brew has been appointed as guest curator of The Museum of Modern Art's 2017 Doc Fortnight festival. MoMA's annual festival of international nonfiction film showcases important new discoveries in documentary cinema and highlights the growing ambition and experimentation within the documentary field. Under the direction of Rajendra Roy, The Celeste Bartos Chief Curator of Film at MoMA, Ms. Brew will work with David Neary, returning Festival Manager, in selecting films to be presented during the annual 10-day event in February 2017.
"We are thrilled to welcome Kathy as guest curator of Doc Fortnight," said Mr. Roy, "Her embrace of innovation and inclusiveness in the nonfiction realm, and her expertise as a filmmaker and curator, will be invaluable in the success of the 2017 edition."
Since its inauguration in 2001, Doc Fortnight's founding principle has been that cross-fertilization among experimental, fiction, and nonfiction films enriches our understanding of an increasingly complex world.
The full line-up and screening schedule for the 2017 edition of Doc Fortnight will be announced in January 2017.

Wallet No. 54
An adaptation of the original two-sided gusset version, this piece was created for a friend who was convinced he would never want standard wallet, yet needed a solution for a messy pile of cards he carried around. It has a wraparound gusset that conceals the stitching within the interior fold, where it is less likely to wear out. The front pocket easily accommodates several cards while the roomier interior pocket is sized for bills and cards. This design works well as either a business card holder or as a neat and efficient wallet.

(First of all, I want to say Hi! I don't know if any of you noticed, but I haven't posted anything or been active here for more than a month. I've had no motivation, but I'm back now, more motivated than ever!)
So to the subject of this post: editing.
Some writers seem to think that editing is a horrible phase of the writing process. It's "boring", "tiring" and so on. I used to think so too. But not anymore.
Yes, editing is hard. It's not always fun, and most of us writers think the writing part is the most fun. But, editing is necessary, and it can be really, really fun, and it don't have to be that hard.
It can feel like editing will take forever, and you might don't feel like you actually have any control over where you're going.
I'm gonna give you some tips.
How to make editing easier and more fun.
You won't always think it's fun or easy, because motivation and inspiration can change and some days you just want to do other things. But by giving your editing some structure, you could both get control of your editing, and have more fun.
How i used to edit
When I wrote my three first novels, I didn't really edit. I just finished writing the book, read it one time (to check for spelling and grammar stuff), and then I let my mother read it so that I could check some grammar again. Then I thought that I had finished editing.
I thought that my novels were really good, but they were horrible. And I didn't even edit.
But I've learnt a lot since then.
How i edit now
The novel I'm working on now has got some more serious edits.
Here's my editing process in steps:
- After I had the story rest for at least 2 weeks, I read through the whole thing and changed anything bad I could find, both big things and spelling/grammar.
- I sent it off to my beta readers. (Every writer should have beta readers! They're the best and you learn so much!)
- I read through all the feedback I got from my beta readers. I wrote a list of things I wanted to change in my novel. I then started with the bigger changes and worked my way to the small details.
- I read the whole thing at least once.
- I sent the novel to a professional editor. (I know that it's really, really expensive to hire an editor, I know. But if you're serious about your writing and can afford to hire a professional editor, you should definitely do it. They go deep into the story and can tell you what needs to be done. They really open your eyes).
- I went through the editor's feedback and made a list of things I wanted to change in the novel.
- I started with the bigger things and worked my way down to the smaller things.
- I then read through the whole thing, checking for places to add more showing instead of telling. At the same time I checked for places where I said things the reader already knew.
- I searched in the document for unnecessary words like suddenly, so, then and so on.
- After letting the novel rest for a few days, I read though the whole thing one more time.
I just want to add that this is the way I edit. It may not suit you. Every author, and even every book, needs their own editing process.
Having structure in your editing will both make it more effective, faster and more fun.
How do you guys edit?
Ps. I would love to hear about how it goes for all of you! How are you? I've missed you all!Recommend0 recommendationsPublished in Author Relates, Inspiration, Writing Advice

Twelve employees of Irvine, Calif.-based accounting firm White Nelson Diehl Evans recently raised $1,830 for the St. Baldrick's Foundation, which battles cancer that afflicts children and adults.
Soliciting donations from family, friends and colleagues, the firm's participants topped its 2012 effort.
"We're excited that we were able to surpass our total from last year," said WNDE senior audit associate and leader of the effort Baru Sanchez, in a statement. "Our goal is not only to raise funds to find a cure for cancer, but also to raise awareness of this disease that touches the lives of so many."
In addition to this fundraiser, the firm also participates in "Movember," a month-long November event when men grow mustaches to raise money to fight prostate cancer and other cancers that effect men. WNDE hopes to establish both annual events a firm tradition, according to Sanchez.
Participants in the St. Baldrick fundraiser were: Sean Thorstenson, Thomas Miyano, Kyle Goetz, Michael Gilgren, Stephen Cahill, Aaron Gonzales, Jesse Pattison, Damon Haroutunian, Bryan Heredia, Douglas Parker and Connor Kirby.
Additional donations to the effort are welcome, by contacting Sanchez at 714-978-1300, ext. 269 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

October 4th, 5th & 6th, 2007 SACRAMENTO TO EMERYVILLE
The navigation markers are excellent and provided our primary source of guidance in the SF Delta.
Great scenery that reminded us of Kamloops or the Southern Okanagan back in BC.
Many reminders that California is the 6th largest economy in the world.
The super cool lighthouse / B&B at the mouth of San Pablo Bay. Regular visitors to this site may remember an earlier picture from our trip into the Bay. The nearby railway bridge has 75 ft of clearance (we need 60 ft), but was open for a freighter and they kept it open for us, just in case.
The Municipal Marina at Emeryville contains a bird sanctuary. The staff are great at this marina, but they charge the highest fee ($35 / night) we encountered so far and they did not have showers available as they were being renovated. The private marina next door has better facilities and charges less, go figure!

Woman arrested attempting to smuggle contraband into Assumption Parish Detention Center
Woman arrested attempting to smuggle contraband into Assumption Parish Detention Center
NAPOLEONVILLE, La. —
A 37-year-old woman was arrested over the week for allegedly attempting to smuggle marijuana-laced cigarettes into the Assumption Parish Detention Center.
Latisha Haynes, 37, was arrested on pending charges of bringing contraband in a penal institution, public bribery and possession with intent to distribute for an incident.
According to the Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office, Haynes is accused of attempting to smuggle the marijuana-laced cigarettes, a cellphone and a cellphone charger into the jail.
In addition, she attempted to bribe a correctional officer, but was instead taken into custody after the shift sergeant was notified, the APSO said.
Haynes was booked into the APSO on $50,000 bond. The APSO said she bonded out this week.

Need a Boise water heater repair or water heater installation? Save money on your water heater services call using our online sales and coupons.
Your water heater can develop problems over time; fortunately, some problems can be avoided with regular maintenance and timely water heater repairs.
When you work with Wickstrom Plumbing, we will advise you on whether a repair or replacement is best for your specific situation. We will also guide you on best maintenance practices for avoiding problems in the future. You will find us serving customers throughout Boise and surrounding areas.
What Are Signs You Need A Water Heater Repair?
No hot water
A sign you need a water heater repair is if your unit does not get any hot water. This particular problem is caused by different issues depending on the unit. If you have a gas unit, the pilot light must be inspected to ensure that it is functioning. If it is working properly, the thermocouple may be inefficient and will need to be replaced. However, if the pilot light turns off each time it is lit, the unit has a faulty pilot control valve. If your unit is an electric water heater, the problem may involve a faulty electric heating element.
Rust colored water
Many homeowners also contact our company if they are getting rust colored water. This problem occurs if the anode rod becomes faulty. The anode rod is important because it dissolves and stops rust from generating in the tank. Whenever the anode rod fails to operate, rust will display in the tank. We will need to replace the rod to solve the problem – one of the easier water heater repair services.
Foul odors
Some problems, however, will not affect how a unit operates. For example, you may smell a foul odor coming from your hot water supply. This is due to bacteria growing in the tank. A water heater contains hydrogen gas, and the bacteria feeds on this gas. Preventing this problem is tough because the anode rod generates the hydrogen gas. To solve this problem, we will flush the water out of the tank. Once the water is gone, a unique cleaning solution must be used in the tank.
Why is Regular Maintenance So Important?
A basic water heater will provide several years of use. You can expect a well maintained water heater to last about 12-15 years.
However, various issues can decrease a unit's overall efficiency leading to higher water heater repair costs. This is why regular maintenance services are important. If a unit is properly maintained, it will last much longer. Without water heater maintenance services, most units will only last a few years.
Besides maintenance, other factors can also affect a unit's longevity: the level of installation, the unit's design, and the general weather condition.
How Can You Avoid Future Problems?
If your unit has basic problems, such as an inefficient heating element, buying a new unit is not recommended. Our technicians can easily repair the heating element or replace the component.
Total unit replacement is only recommended if it has a severe problem that cannot be repaired, such as a leaking or corroded tank.Don't go another day without hot water for your laundry or shower needs. Call us today at (208) 466-9447 for immediate water heater repair services at competitive rates.

You might have seen the implementation of Ajax based data loading system at Facebook, Twitter or some other sites. Instead of showing pagination links, we can load data dynamically whenever a load button click. In this article I'll show you how we can easily adopt this technique to make similar loading page for our web projects using jQuery.
You may also want to checkout similar tutorial Auto Load More Data On Page Scroll. In my earlier post Simple Ajax Pagination, I have explained how to create Ajax Pagination using jQuery. Here we will be doing precisely the same thing.
We use this configuration file to store certain variables such as MySql username and password, which is required by our program..
Since we will be sending data as <LI> list item, we can create a <UL> element with id "results", here we will load our data fetched from server.
Here's our jQuery code, when page loads we need to load the first set of data, once it's loaded we can add a button which can initiate the remaining data loading until all the records are loaded. You can also change the settings options such as loading image URL, button label etc.
As you can see we are utilizing jQuery.post() to load data from server, which is a shorthand Ajax function of $.ajax().
As I discussed earlier, we need to pass the page number to the PHP script below, it then will connect to database and fetch the records using page number and "item_per_page" offset. The PHP code uses MySqli Prepared Statements to fetch the records, which is very resilient against harmful injection practices, and the performance is also highly efficient. You can learn more about MySqli Prepared Statements here.
That's it! we should have a neat jQuery based data loading page by now. Don't forget to check out the demo and download the whole thing on your computer. Good luck! If you want to make Ajax Pagination with Next-Previous buttons, you can check out this updated article — Ajax Pagination with jQuery & PHP.
Thanks for the tutorial. It was a great help.
Greetings Peter
I did it using facebook React Library, which works for desktop and mobile both.
Check out the result http://www.gadgetclues.com/Reply
REally good script. But how can we add filter to this script?Reply
It works fine.
Just want to mention That in 2017 I got the error message "SyntaxError: Using //@ to indicate sourceURL pragmas is deprecated. Use //# instead" in the console of mozilla. It's in the jquery-1.9.0.min.js.
See : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Errors/Deprecated_source_map_pragma
Hi, thanks for the wonderful tutorial. But it gives an error when i use it on a URL like this "www.example.com/list.php?name=ABC&area=BCD" and query i use to fetch data is "SELECT * FROM table WHERE name='$_GET[name]' AND area='$_GET[area]'".
My complete question is at the following link. Where do i need to make changes to achieve this ?
I came across through this script…Its good..Please send these types of recent posts..
Thank you,

Chase the Summer in Summer California
September 28, 2015 | Permalink | Comments (0)
As summer winds down, many of us Road Warriors begin to shift travel gears in preparation of the cold and snow that will soon dominate our plans. But if you're prolonging the inevitable cold season, you may want to look at some of the many October vacation deals still available in the warmer climates of the country. Enter: Southern California — the golden coast that seems to chase the endless summer. As the locals and those who regularly visit the lower half of the state know, Southern California doesn't always get the memo that summer has set and fall and winter should be the new reality. These three Southern California beach cities make it possible to enjoy a little bit more of summer, even if it is the middle of October.
San Diego
If you're looking to grab a hotel in San Diego, October is your lucky month. Not only is San Diego's weather frequently ranked as the best in the world, even in October, when the city is especially affordable for families. Throughout the month, the city hosts its Kids Free San Diego promotion. Kids don't have to pay admission at many popular San Diego attractions including Legoland, the San Diego Zoo and SeaWorld. In addition, many museums, tours, harbor cruises and activities are free for kids throughout the month of October. Aside from the Kids Free San Diego promotion, the city shines with many events throughout October like Oktoberfests, air shows and art festivals.
San Clemente
Located on the coast in between Los Angeles and San Diego, the Spanish style village of San Clemente also makes for an attractive Southern California getaway during the fall months, particularly in October. The community hosts a number of events you might want to plan your trip around. First up, on October 4th, the city celebrates San Clemente Seafest. Now in its 28th year, the event features a Chowder cook-off, arts and craft show and even a surf contest. If you can't make it to San Clemente in early October, the city also has a number of events later in the month such as the San Clemente Oktoberfest on October 17th and the Taste of San Clemente on October 30th.
Laguna Beach
Just 50 miles south of Los Angeles, most travelers find Laguna Beach pleasant year-round. In terms of October vacations, Laguna Beach makes for a relaxing getaway as the summer crowds have cleared out, making it possible to enjoy the coastal town with a little peace and quiet. In the fall, Laguna Beach offers many attractions to enjoy during your October travel days. Start the day off with a hike through Heisler Park in awe of its spectacular views of the Laguna Beach coastline. Enjoy giant blue whale watching or to take an art walk and enjoy the more than 80 unique works of public art that grace the town's streets.
If you're the type who tends to cling to summer, think about taking one last warm weather getaway as fall rolls into your town, Southern California is the perfect area to sink your toes into the sands of summer without having to battle the crowds of summer in the process.
9 Family-Friendly Museums
September 2, 2015 | Permalink | Comments (0)
As the carefree days of summer start to dwindle, clothes shopping and school supply lists often dominate busy parents' days. But don't let the stress of the impending back-to-school schedule make you waste these last few weeks away. There's still time to soak up the last bits of summer and take the whole family on an educational and fun trip before that dreaded first early morning is here. Get kids ready to learn by heading out to one of the several museums across the country that can stimulate the minds of young and old alike. And if you're already in budget mode heading into the fall, consider joining the Extended Stay America rewards program to earn perks toward your next vacation.
American Museum of Natural History—New York, New York
Located at Central Park West at 79th Street in New York, the American Museum of Natural History is easily one of the best family friendly museums on the East Coast. One of the largest museums in the world, you are sure to be entertained throughout the 1,600,000 square feet of space. The museum is home to 45 exhibition halls where you can see fossils, animal dioramas and ocean life exhibits.
The Children's Museum of Indianapolis—Indianapolis, Indiana
When it comes to family friendly museums, the Children's Museum of Indianapolis has received national attention for being so family oriented. As one of the largest children's museums in the world, you can see 120,000 artifacts across the museum's American, Natural Science and World Cultures Collections.
Henry Ford Museum—Detroit, Michigan
Located in Detroit, Michigan, the Henry Ford Museum presents yet another not-to-be-missed family museum in the U.S., especially for car and history lovers. The museum boasts some of Henry Ford's own personal collections. Other wheeled notables in the museum include the Kennedy Presidential Limousine and the Rosa Parks Bus.
USS Constitution Museum—Boston, Massachusetts
Detailing the famous ship and the early days of the U.S. Navy, the USS Constitution Museum in Boston definitely makes the list as one of the best museums for the family, the whole family that is. The interactive galleries are designed to keep adults and children entertained and take all parties on a 200-year voyage.
Musical Instrument Museum—Phoenix, Arizona
If you find yourself in Phoenix in the next few weeks, and you simply can't take the heat for one more second, you can retreat to the cool indoors and hit up the Musical Instrument Museum. The museum is a favorite for families who love music, especially as it offers the chance to play a number of instruments from around the globe. Exhibits include instruments from around the world and even instruments and styles played and worn by celebrity favorites from the past and present. Taylor Swift even has a gown there!
Please Touch Museum—Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Set up in Philadelphia, the name says it all at the Please Touch Museum. There, you don't have to worry about whisking your kids quickly through down the middle of each room, muttering under your breath "don't touch!" over and over. Everything in the museum is fair game and incredibly interactive. Kids will delight in taking a ride on the restored 1908 carousel.
Exploratorium—San Francisco, California
One of San Francisco's top attractions is easily the Exploratorium. With more than 600 hands-on exhibits, the museum details art, science and human perception. The Exploratorium truly delights imaginations, especially with additions like the world's largest toothpick sculpture.
Center for Puppetry Arts—Atlanta, Georgia
Atlanta is a hot spot for family fun activity, and you don't have to search too hard to find a great family-friendly hotel room either! If you have a few performers in your family, a visit to the Center for Puppetry Arts is in order. Set up in Atlanta, the museum remains solely dedicated to the art of puppetry. A fixture in town since 1978, visitors can learn all about the wonder and art of puppetry, including seeing exhibits on some of their favorite famous puppets.
Museum of Science and Industry—Chicago, Illinois
Out of all of the museums in Chicago, the Museum of Science and Industry just might be the one to keep all parties in your family entertained. Across 14 acres, you can explore thousands of interactive exhibits. Some highlights include a German U Boat, a replica coalmine and a miniature castle. The museum sets out to, and accomplishes the task of bringing science to life. With the abundance of hotels in this charming city, finding one to call home for a few nights won't be a problem, either.
From Phoenix to Philadelphia, the country is crawling with family friendly museums. Before your kids have to hit the books again for a new school year, consider making a last hurrah weekend out of these cities and visit one of these museums.

[Julia Hoffman is CASA's President; Deke Sharon is CASA's founder]
Deke: So Julia, we've had many discussions over the years on a variety of topics, and since we're rarely in the same place, I figure we should just drag our conversation into the bright public forum of casa.org where people can listen to us blather...and then disagree with us both.
Topic number one that's been on my mind of late: Back in the 90s there were a number of very good all-female a cappella groups (Jezebel, All So Jimmy, 10fm...), and alas when they folded no new groups stepped up to take their place and there have been virtually no professional women's groups... until this year. The Boxettes, Musae, and Delilah, who have garnered perhaps more interest than anyone on the Sing-Off thus far (judging by downloads, YouTube hits and Twitter posts).
My question is: Why now? What's different? And how to we keep this movement from faltering?
Julia: I should probably start by admitting that I don't know the answer, and in so doing excuse any completely ludicrous theories that I may have.
Let's start with what I *do* know: collegiate female a cappella groups have been getting better and better within the past 5-7(ish) years. Why? Because in both recording and performance the ladies have been making riskier chances and growing a pair of... ovaries? Good pro (or semi-pro if we still call it that) groups have to come from somewhere. I would argue that the ladies' college groups upping the ante has made it possible for women to begin moving to the next level again.
If we take a second to call a spade a spade, there are some significant differences (sonically, visually, aesthetically) between groups that include men and those that don't. For starters, all-female groups are more hard-pressed to create good bass and vocal percussion, both of which are pretty important for the pop/rock music most groups perform. Women also tend to have smaller, thinner voices. If you put a group of 16 men alongside a group of 16 women, you can guess who's going to have a bigger, fuller sound. Until recently, there haven't been great ways of compensating for these differences (or taking advantage of the unique benefits that all female groups bring).
The UC Berkeley California Golden Overtones won the ICCA finals in 2001 with a set that was very reminiscent of the all-female groups from the earlier era that you're referencing. I wasn't there, but if I had to guess I'd assume that the set list was something like: Walking on Broken Glass (no bass or percussion), some medium-old ballad sung extremely well, and then an En Vogue Medley (kickass choreography, awesome singing, no percussion, no low end of the arrangement, relatively few parts, sung with pretty vowels in harmony). Now granted, I could have the actual songs completely wrong, but my point remains the same: girls groups were choosing predictable, safe, girly songs and singing them like girls. And they could do that incredibly well, but the repertoire and range certainly was limited.
I think it took a few years and some female pioneers like Lisa Forkish, Evynne Hollens, Candace Hefland, some women whose names I will probably never learn from Duke and UNCG, and others to really sack up (so to speak) and figure out how to take collegiate female a cappella to the next level both in and out of the studio.
University of Oregon Divisi's album, Red Hot, stands out to me as a pivotal album because it took so many chances: the arrangements made neither of the usual female group choices: either arranging with nothing below a A3 or using the 5th as a root to accommodate the women's voices (GAHHHHH!! NOOOoooooo!). They used ugly (as opposed to pretty) syllables and interwoven lyrical lines. Their energy was incredible. They chose awesome songs (not awesome girl songs) like Usher's "Yeah" and then used layering and all kinds of effects to build it into an amazing final product. They went for it 100% both live and in the studio. That last bit is what separates the women from the girls.
I used to have to hold my nose to listen to the all-female albums every year for the CARAs, but thanks to various groups raising the arrangement and delivery bars, plus improved production (Dio and Gammon especially know what they're doing when it comes to the ladies ;-) ) there's no reason to worry about finding 4 or 5 great albums to nominate. And if you had told 2003 Julia that I would be giving my 2011 ICCA Finals subjective points to an all-female group I would never have believed it, but the FSU Acabelles deserved it.
Individual micing is a new trend that favors the all-female groups because a lot more can be done to address the sonic challenges with each member separately effected, eq'ed, and amplified. And the training of female VP's – especially on the critical lip buzz – has led to a generation of women who aren't afraid to build a kick butt rhythm section.
College women can now sound as good as (or better than!) college men. So, it makes sense that there would be some percentage of them that would want to keep that going after leaving school.
Deke: I agree about collegiate women's groups getting better. The pioneering women of Divisi changed the game for women's a cappella, and should have won the ICCAs (no slight to the actual winners - they just did it all, backwards and in high heels).
You're right about what female collegiate a cappella has been, and how, even with top-shelf cheerleader choreo (I recall the Golden Overtones ended in a giant pyramid!), there were clear limits, and a predictable range of emotions and timbres.
And much of the driving force behind professional a cappella resulted from momentum carried forward from college campuses... but can that be it? The Boxettes have nothing to do with female collegiate a cappella, and they're making serious waves. I don't recall a British women's group getting this much attention since the Mint Juleps in Do It A Cappella. And alas they folded shortly thereafter.
Ok, so I'll consider the Boxettes a happy anomaly, and put all my chips in collegiate a cappella as training ground and launch pad. What can we do to get more pro women's groups forming, touring, inspiring young singers, recording? I fear we're looking at a blip resulting from the Sing Off (Musae was formed for auditions, and Delilah is spread far and wide...) how often will they get together, how much will they tour when reality sets in next year? The audience seems to be in place, and the various a cappella festivals will doubtless want a women's group every year. Will women be willing to make the sacrifices guys do when starting a group? There aren't many women's rock and roll groups either. Don't women like smelly vans and ramen?
Julia: Well, first of all, I'm not sure that the vans would be as smelly if they were full of women.
You bring up some important issues. To me, it seems like a bigger-than-a-cappella question about what our culture expects of women, which is obviously too big to get into here. The Cliff's Notes: men get away with a lot. They are "allowed" to be zany, dirty, directionless (for their 20's at least), and even weird looking. For women, the bar is generally much higher. Women are expected to be put together, sexy, and attractive at all times. The first episode of "The Sing-Off" this season had no less than 10 women in what were essentially sequined diapers. Now, maybe I'm old or maybe it's that 4 months postpartum I'm sensitive about the current size of my ass, but I found that to be a confirmation of some really unfortunate ideas that we push on women, namely: there is no amount of talent that can excuse you from the swimsuit competition.
And I don't mean to pick on TSO, it's just a convenient target since (a) so many people have seen it and (b) -- it's TV for crying out loud -- it's even more hotness-dependent than other live performance venues.
Thankfully, I think women in a cappella are finding ways to have fun, to explore the opportunities afforded to them by their natural range and talents, to wade into the more typically male parts of the art form (e.g vocal percussion), and to take themselves seriously without, you know, taking themselves too seriously. And hopefully, we are putting the message out there that women can be superstar performers even if they don't have asses built for tap shorts.
What you can do for them and what I can do for our young women might be 2 separate issues. See this year's lineup at SoJam for some clear evidence of what CASA is trying to do: fully half of the headliners and half of the collegiate competitors were all female groups! Dio (Director of Events) has specifically articulated that this was intended to inspire young women to continue in the footsteps of these pioneering professional ladies. We're also publishing materials on our website about how to form and maintain all female groups.
And we might start selling plus size sequined diapers too. You know, to expand the playing field a bit.
Deke: You've got a baby at home; I trust your instincts around diapers.
Agreed about the double standard. Perhaps that's in part because a cappella has been almost exclusively defined by men over the past century, and the best women's groups (like Sweet Honey in the Rock) disregard any molds and forge their own sound/style/path.
When I think about a group like Sweet Honey, I realize a group of guys actually can't compete with them on their playing field, on their terms. Their arranging style, their lyrics... guys would just not be as effective. Women should indeed sing what women sing best, and sing about what women can best sing about, rather than another women's group singing songs written and originally performed by men.
Women's groups at SoJam is good, Delilah on "The-Sing Off" is good, publishing learning materials and sheet music for women, holding seminars... all very good. But is there more? Besides "The-Sing Off", all of this was happening a decade ago (CASA has a long tradition of women's groups at festivals), and I fear in total it's still not enough to keep the fire burning.
If we look at the numbers, more women sing throughout their education, watch "Glee" and other singing shows, and so on. The potential talent base is enormous. What will motivate them to start groups, Julia? What's the deterrent? Is it the risk? The hassle? The lack of big bucks? Fear? Please, help us all understand what (a cappella) women want!
Julia: It's possible that the talent base is enormous but that the audience just isn't there yet. Did the general public (beyond the acaheads at our festivals) understand before they saw Delilah on TSO how a rocking all female group would look and sound? Did the acaheads get it before they saw Boxettes melt faces at SoJam a few weeks ago? My guess is that they didn't. I'm hoping that this exposure will make more demand for what we are so ready to supply!
Other than that, I wish I knew the answer to your question! I guess we should just ask them! For now, I can only hope that if we continue to build it, they will come…
Deke: Agreed. The audience is ready, the format proven, the stars have aligned. At this point, the people who need to start building are the female singers and music directors themselves. Let's hope dozens of new professional women's groups are being formed right now, some of which will become full time. Only time will tell.

lip buzzPosted by SamFall on 11/23/2011
can anyone give me clear examples of someone using lip buzz the way it's described, either via moments in the sing off, or anything. I keep hearing/reading the term, and I'd like to know about it.

What DO women "best sing about"?Posted by brianne.tamara on 11/28/2011
Hi there. I'm the Music Director of an all-female a cappella group at UChicago, Men in Drag. I agree with, and appreciate, a lot of this article, ESPECIALLY Julia's "You bring up some important issues" paragraph. That one really nails it.
However, I found this comment from Deke very arresting: "Women should indeed sing what women sing best, and sing about what women can best sing about, rather than another women's group singing songs written and originally performed by men."
I don't really understand this (the article was headed in such a great direction before and after that comment!). This seems to be confining women to the traditionally girly music that Julia describes well in her potential 2001 all-female ICCA set. If this comment were taken literally, Delilah should never have expanded their repertoire to include "Grenade" or "Dream On" - songs that they OWNED, and that were written for and originally performed by men. It looks like this comment is limiting repertoire choice for women, rather than expanding our boundaries. And I think that tendency to choose songs written for/by women can really be a hinderance. Think of how many all-female groups have covered Sara Bareilles and Adele in the past year. Or how many have done En Vogue medleys in the past decade. Too many.
The approach that I've taken with Men in Drag is to try to stretch beyond girly, into the realm of songs that are traditionally considered more masculine. I think yes, women can really own songs written for women. But just as all-male groups don't limit themselves to songs by men, I see no reason for women to limit themselves in that way. And I think the collegiate arena especially is the place to try new things and push those boundaries.
i fully agree. Women singingPosted by SamFall on 11/28/2011
i fully agree. Women singing women's songs has been done way too much. (while that can be taken snarkily, it's not meant to be at all, sorry). Also, women know the words to songs performed by men, sometimes more than men do. I think any song can be done by anyone, and if you fully commit to it, and just go for it, you can make it work.
Ex: Pentatonix doing..hell, most of the songs they've done, were men doing female songs in a 'not for laughs' way. As such, women can do the same going the other way.
...and made it better without copying men.Posted by DekeSharon on 11/29/2011
Uhoh - sexist alert!
I'm not saying women shouldn't ever sing songs by men. Annie Lennox's version of "Keep Young and Beautiful" was a fantastic track as well as a powerful statement. Aretha sang "Respect" better than Otis. Endless list.
What I'm saying is that women should sing their truth in their way instead of singing a bunch of cover songs by guys while trying to sound like a guys group.
Caveat: I'm not talking about female collegiate groups - that's all about cover songs, and just fine. I'm speaking specifically to new professional womens groups who want to make an impact on a cappella and the music industry at large.
Being a cover band relegates any a cappella group to second class status, with rare exception. Heck - it relegates any band to second class status. How many major pop artists from the past 30 years can you name that only sing other people's music? Tony Bennett... and he was grandfathered in (literally) from the days of the great American songbook. Britney might not write her own music, but she's singing first releases.
Kahlil Gibran (a man) wrote the words "Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself." - a lovely statement. And when Sweet Honey turned the poem "On Children" into a song, they took it to another level, speaking truth and experience into those words as women and mothers. This is what I'm talking about. Man wrote it, women made it better, and made it better without copying men.
No, I don't think women should only sing about reproductive rights and cheating husbands, lest anyone get the wrong idea. But neither do I think they should try to be like guys (a problem that is still being wrestled with in the female collegiate community) (uhoh - that statement's gonna get me into more trouble!)
Delilah has over 1 million views on their Sing Off performance of Grenade. Excellent! But Sam Tsui has over 100 million views... and no recording contract. A cappella cover songs are fun, but still seen as a novelty in the music industry. To follow that path is to ensure obscurity.
What professional women's a cappella groups need:
* Original sound
* Original music
Yes, cover songs can sometimes be done, but the sound has to be so fresh and the performance so compelling that people feel like it's 1990 and they're hearing the Take 6 debut for the first time.
It can be done. It will be done.

Well...Posted by brianne.tamara on 11/29/2011
Let me preface this by saying that I heavily considered a gender studies major. With that, I've just lost everyone's attention. ;)
I think we're in agreement about professional women's groups. Just like any professional groups (a cappella or not), the best ones will have an original sound, and will write/sing mostly original material. But as you acknowledged in the article, a lot of the American pro groups stem from the members' collegiate experiences, which is why I wanted to focus on the problems there.
My biggest issue is with the contention that women somehow have topics that they are more or less qualified to sing on. I see no reason that women can't "try to be more like the guys" in terms of song content. That's totally a personal choice, and making the blanket statement that women can't/shouldn't sing "masculine" songs doesn't make sense to me. And that works both ways: I don't see, for example, why men should be excluded from being able to express nurturing feelings about children in an effective/emotionally powerful way... Maybe that could be considered a traditionally "womanly" topic, but I think that heternormativity is the problem. Why in the world would we want to limit ourselves to tradition?
So anyway, musically: I'm going to take Delilah as an example again (even though they are not technically a collegiate group, so many of their members are still in collegiate groups that I think they can basically be regarded as a collegiate group themselves). The constant criticism they received was that their low end was lacking, which is partly the fault of their arranging style (and partly a feature of the show in that they were unable to compensate for that as all-female groups often do by using effects like an octave pedal). But the point is that what the judges wanted to hear WAS for them to be more like guys. They wanted that fuller, richer sound that can only be attained through an arranging style that is currently most prevalent in men's groups. And I'm still talking collegiate, here, cause groups like Sweet Honey with their bass who can hit an F2 or something ridiculous, are totally different creatures.
But to bring it back to pro groups: Sweet Honey has its niche as a powerhouse, and the Boxettes have their niche as an alt-indie group. And both groups are game-changers for all-female a cappella. But to get to where they are, both of them have had to overcome typical all-female obstacles (complex vocal percussion, relishing in the low end of their sound, etc), BY "trying to be more like the guys." All-male groups have paved the way for a long time; in order for all-female groups to get up to speed, I think adopting some practices of all-male groups is not a terrible idea. And while I love groups like Delilah and Musae, who are fierce as all hell, I don't know that they are (yet!) pioneering new things for all-female groups, and I wonder if they've really (yet!) stepped out of the all-female box in a way that will change the game for women. Delilah is sexy and they know it, their arrangements are creative, their leads are phenomenal, their block is solid, and yes, they sometimes push to be less pretty and more gritty (which is good). But this can be said for a lot of impressive groups that aren't game-changers.
I guess I'm just waiting for a modern American all-female group that is exciting in a way that would still be exciting if they weren't all-female. But I'm afraid that until the standards for all-female collegiate a cappella change, the semipro/pro all-female groups that form out of college will remain second-tier to mixed and all-male groups.
So...Posted by DekeSharon on 11/29/2011
Make that group happen!
It's really easy to say "someone should do X" - we need women to start groups, explore, see what works and what doesn't. Right now very few groups even exist, and the level to which they're actively exploring is not making significant waves (yet). We need more fuel on the fire, more fires.
Find new sounds. Sing guy songs better than guys. Be so good that people don't think of you as a women's group but just as a group.
The way to change people's minds, and the landscape in general, is quality.
I'm all for it!

VPPosted by Warren B. on 12/04/2011
Oh my. This topic does sound terribly familiar. (10fm. Hot damn, people.)
I don't know how I found the spare time to write this, but I like to think I put the female percussion-disadvantage issue to bed in this r.m.a-c thread from April 2000. My treatise is post 15, but it's a good thread to read through from the beginning, as it covers frightening similar ground as Deke & Julia's article. Sad that this issue keeps coming full circle. I just hope we're not considering the novelty of all-female a-cappella again in 2022!
(Remember when the ICCA started with a N? Those were the days.)
I also think that CourtneyPosted by Warren B. on 12/10/2011
I also think that Courtney Jensen's and Geena Glaser's performances on The Sing-Off make the female VP issue moot. Courtney even refers to the fallacy of the "female disadvatage" in her video featurette from season 2.

Tom Izzo is college basketball coaching royalty and his Michigan State basketball teams have been one of the best programs in the country for as long as most of us can remember. However, what we've witnessed this season could very well be a program in decline.
No Draymond Green-like player, no Mateen Cleaves…basically, it's a team with some nice parts but no stand out leader who can get them over the hump in the difficult games. MSU has lost five of its seven games after leading or being within one possession in the final minute.
If that doesn't speak to a lack of killer instinct and pure leadership, I don't know what does. That's not to say this team doesn't have talent, because it does. Both forward Branden Dawson and guard Travis Trice are individually great, but as a team they just can't get over the final hurdle.
Saturday's loss is perhaps the most puzzling of them all. Dawson pulled down a crazy 18 rebounds for the second time this season, and for the second time this season his team lost after he did that.
The Spartans also had an incredible 24-5 lead in offensive rebounds against a Nebraska team that actually started some size up front for this contest.
Izzo-coached teams of the past would never have wasted that kind of day on the glass. Rather than a two-point loss, Michigan State teams of the past would've mopped the floor with the opposition and likely won by a 20-plus point margin.
That's not how this team is built though, and it's been a problem for this team all season. So has been putting together consistent effort during a single game, something Trice admitted to following the game.
"They hit some tough shots and got some of their guys going early," Trice said, via the AP. "If we play the way we did the last eight, seven minutes of the game, we wouldn't have had a problem."
Even more telling is the fact that MSU has gone from winning all four of the first four meetings between these schools as Big Ten institutions, to a two-game losing streak in the series.
What happened on Saturday is somehow the Spartans allowed Nebrasketball to go in to full effect, building a 14-point lead at the half and eventually a 17-point lead early in the second half.
Star Nebraska guard Terran Petteway poured in a game-high 32 points in the win, but that just illustrates how bad things have gotten. However, it isn't the first time that's happened, as Michigan State has given up 30 points to an opposing player in each of the last two years (Oklahoma's Cameron Clark had 32 last season).
With three losses already on the Big Ten season and seven overall before coming out of January this team has some serious work ahead of it to become a contender. The Spartans still have two games against Michigan and single contests with Indiana and Wisconsin on the road left to play. Not to mention two games against a tricky Illinois team and hosting Ohio State too.
Given the schedule ahead and the losses already suffered, one has to ask the question of whether or not this team is in danger of doing the unthinkable at Michigan State — missing the NCAA tournament.
When was the last time that happened, right? Well, the answer is 1997. Yes, this team has made the NCAA tournament every year for 17-straight seasons.
Don't get me wrong, the Spartans could still well make this year's tournament and likely will, but with seven losses overall and three in Big Ten competition before even hitting the meat of the schedule there's a real chance this team could be in some trouble down the road.
In 2014-15 the Spartans' can point to wins over Marquette and newly hot Indiana as the "big" wins on its schedule. Those wins aren't exactly going to move the needle when Selection Sunday comes around.
It isn't just the on-court results either, Michigan State has been declining in the world of recruiting as well.
Sure, the group of Matt Costello, Garry Harris, Kenny Kaminsky and Denzel Valentine gave the Spartans the No. 12-ranked class of the 2012 recruiting cycle, but it's a group that really hasn't lived up to the overall hype of such a lofty ranking (outside of Harris who left early for the NBA).
However, each of the two classes following that haul have shot down the rankings, with the 2013 class ranking No. 74 (just two 3-star players signed) and the 2014 class ranking No. 50 nationally.
The problem isn't totally in the rankings, it is in the fact that Michigan State has suffered big name losses earlier than expected and have been unable to replace them thanks to those lower-regarded recruiting classes.
It's hard to argue that those lower rankings haven't come to bare on the court either, as none of the five players in those two classes have become key contributors to a team in need of depth and that extra-something special when the game is on the line.
The good news is that mojo could be back in short order, as the Spartans have the No. 13-ranked class of the 2015 recruiting cycle. It also finally has another 5-star player in the fold, as in-state star Deyonta Davis is committed and he'll be joined by at least two players within the top 153 of the country according to 247Sports.
While it may be premature to say the Spartans are in some serious trouble, it does feel like something is missing from the program. Between the decline in recruiting rankings and finding ways to lose games this program seemingly always won in the past, it does feel like some of the old Spartan mojo is slipping away.
Can one great class turn this program around? Time will tell, but there's little question the 2015 recruiting class is going to be make or break for the Spartans hopes of climbing back to the top of the Big Ten mountain.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft isn't necessarily known for his trash talking, but I guess when you're one of the best you don't need to worry about such things.
However, this year, the Patriots weren't the best. As a matter of fact, they didn't make the Super Bowl. The Denver Broncos and Peyton Manning, however, did. And not only that, but they brought the trophy back home to Denver too!
I guess you can't blame Robert Kraft for being a little salty given the Patriots' impressive season, but this burn came out of nowhere.
When he was asked about Peyton's rivalry with Tom Brady by WVCB TV, this was Kraft's unfiltered response;
"I happened to see Archie (Manning) there. He has two sons who have won two Super Bowls (each). But with all due respect, we have one son who has won four."
Ouch! Tell us how you really feel, Robert.

Shocker?… OK, Not Really… Obama Lies About His Opposition to Surge
Today's Obama lie is brought to you from his interview with Brian Williams on NBC Nightly News
Power Line discovered this Obama lie.
Brian Williams asks Obama about the surge, and whether it has been a success. Obama answers that "even at the time of the debate of the surge, was if you put 30,000 troops in, of course it's going to have an impact."
Obama tells Brian Williams that he always said more troops would have an impact:
(The exchange begins at the 6 minute mark of the 10 minute video.)
(The reaction to the question by Obama is a great example of his annoying haughtiness.)
Obama's remarks on the surge today:
"(snicker) What I said was even at the time of the debate of the surge, was if you put 30,000 troops in, of course it's going to have an impact. There's no doubt about that. The question is, does it solve our larger strategic questions and do the costs involved, uh, do they outweigh the benefits."
And, here is Barack Obama at the time of the debate on the surge in January 2007:
(32 seconds)
Obama's remarks on the surge in 2007:
"I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence there in fact I think it will do the reverse. I think it takes pressuire off the Iraqis to arrive at the sort of political accomidation that every observer believes is the ultimate solution to the problems we face there. So I am going to actively oppose the president's proposal… I think he is wrong."
Barack Obama was not just wrong on the surge but he continues to deny that he was wrong.
And, Obama continues to lie about his opposition to the surge.
Power Line is starting to believe that he may be a serial liar.

There are many services that have dissertation writing services and expert writers ready to help you.

Please note that every one news might be discovered on our IPCHS webpage. There are quite a few festivals happening in Finland all yr long; Mid summer time is called the period of summer season solstice; the emphasis is given to the celebrations of June twenty fourth when the Finns have fun daylight, constructing giant bonfires by the lakes, letting the factor burn down. Thanks for a lot for coming by and commenting. I respect it and enjoyed reading what you needed to say. It was a terrific contribution!
Along with excessive caseloads, many if not all of these positions are monitored by some state and/or local regulatory agency. Most businesses (private and non-private) that present human providers depend on some form of public funding from the federal, state, and local government. In most situations, the state requires documentation to be accomplished in a specific timeframe. In addition to the state deadlines, native deadlines are even more inflexible to keep away from Medicaid audits and paybacks.
Cautious observation will yield amazing performances by the CNPD, who may have nice performing abilities to current as a tragic sufferer of their ex as the individual who's ruining their life and attempting to hurt them.

The history of online gambling started with the "Free Trade and Processing Zone" act passed in Antigua Barbuda in 1994. Any person or company who wanted to open an internet casino could get a gaming license.
The law was there, but the software didn't appear until later that year, thanks to Microgaming (and later also CryptoLogic) appearing on the market. They weren't the giants of the industry that they are now, but thanks to their software and security systems the first online casino ever started operating in 1996.
Between 1996 and 1998 online gambling has been evolving rapidly, along with the Internet itself. The quality of software was improving very fast too, and the number of online casinos was increasing. That's when the first progressive jackpot, called Cash Splash, was introduced by Microgaming.
Online casinos had opponents right from the beginning, too. Republican senator from Arizona, John Kyl, has tried to push his "Internet Gambling Prohibition Act" since 1998. And that point, after only 2 years, the online gambling industry was worth about $1 billion.

Money talks, and we know what walks
From the Baltimore Sun story entitled "Senators rebuff loophole closing."
As the Maryland General Assembly considered closing a loophole to prevent corporations from entirely avoiding state taxes, Marriott International Inc. warned legislators yesterday that it might "adjust operations" if they alter the tax system.[…]
"Combined reporting" measures were defeated in previous legislative sessions. O'Malley included the proposal in a package to close a projected $1.7 billion budget deficit during the current special session.
O'Malley also proposed raising the corporate income tax from 7 percent to 8 percent, and closing another loophole that allows many developers to avoid paying transfer and recordation taxes on the sale of property.
More than 20 states have adopted combined reporting, as public outrage has grown over so-called "zero tax" corporations.
But the proposal was rejected yesterday by a Senate committee. While the special session is expected to last at least another week, during which the proposals could be revived, legislative leaders say that's unlikely.
The Senate committee did approve the transfer tax and the corporate income tax increase.
The irony here abounds. A Democrat legislature, one that bills itself as looking out for the "little guy" (or is it "little people"? I keep forgetting which but it is one or the other, trust me.) signs on to the biggest program of regressive taxes to ever hit Maryland but refuses to close a tax loophole that reduces Marriott's state tax liability to about zero.
Guess we didn't contribute enough money to the right campaigns.

There are several obvious pointers to selection, such as personal recommendation from a friend or relative who has received good financial advice in the past, relevant qualifications, specialisations, years of experience, and so on. Another good measure is whether the adviser has won any awards that test their ability to handle various financial scenarios.
Money Management, the specialist personal finance magazine, has been running awards for independent advisers since 1996. BBC Panorama filmed at the very first awards ceremony and called it the "Oscars of the personal finance industry". Winning one of these awards is tough, as it should be – if they were too easy they wouldn't be worth having.
Unlike some other awards run for independent advisers, entrants to the Money Management awards actually have to produce written answers to a variety of case studies, published each spring, covering subjects from mortgages to pensions, investment, tax planning and protection. The whole process is completely anonymous; every entrant is given a personal identification number (Pin) so that the independent judging panel, made up of professional advisers, has no idea whose papers it is marking.
This is what makes them worth winning – it doesn't matter how much business the adviser has conducted online, how many new clients they may have brought in over the past 12 months, whether they are paid on a fee or commission basis or whether their business has embraced new technology in a major way. None of that counts.
The only criterion for winning a Money Management financial planner award is talent.
The written answers produced by the entrants have to show that they have addressed the problems raised in the case studies, and made recommendations of how they would solve these problems. They also need to show that they have taken into account each client's attitude to risk.
The written answers can be up to 2,500 words long, so involve a major commitment by the entrants. That's just the start of the process, however. The two best responses in each category are shortlisted and the entrants have to attend a face-to-face interview with a panel of judges who quiz them on their entries. Only after this stage is completed is the decision made on which candidate is the winner and which is the runner up.
As well as the individual case study winners, there is a separate, overall winner. This is a really tough award to win because, to even be in the running, entrants have to submit at least three different case studies, usually involving many days of research and writing on their part.
For the 2008 awards, announced last week, the overall winner was Steve Kadwell from Positive Solutions, based in Cheltenham (kadwell.co.uk). Steve entered the first awards in 1996, and won the personal pensions category. He did not try again until this year's awards because, he said, "I did not have the broader financial planning experience I now have".
On winning the overall award Steve said: "It was an enormous amount of work. It must have been upwards of 50 hours' work to research, draft, produce and then revise the reports. I had to do a lot of the work early in the morning and in the evening as I had to juggle it with running a busy practice and my family life too."
The judges' comments on Steve's entry were full of praise: "Steve presented a well constructed set of solutions that were technically sound and clearly explained the recommended course of action. In each of the three case studies he submitted, whether dealing with the wealthy or those on restricted means, the judges were impressed by his analysis of the problem and the explanation of the options that were presented."
Because of the high regard in which these awards are held, some firms of advisers do a lot to encourage their staff to take part each year, and even if they do not make it to the shortlist, entering the awards is considered a useful training exercise.
One such firm is Mazars (mazars.co.uk), one of Europe's largest accounting firms, working with both individual and corporate clients, which this year had six of the 17 finalists on the shortlist. Paul Willans, a partner at Mazars, is behind the push to get his staff to enter the awards.
He said: "I am absolutely delighted by our financial planners' success as these awards test both applicants' technical and applied client skills. We are committed to the provision of true financial planning – that is, advice rather than product sales – and our fee-based financial planners maintain the same professional ethos and high standards as our accountants and other tax practitioners."
Another firm that has been prominent in the awards line-up in this and previous years is Bloomsbury Financial Planning (bloomsburyfp.co.uk) of London. In 2006, one of their advisers, Carolyn Gowan, was the overall winner. This year two of their advisers, Jason Butler and Robert Lockie, took between them three winner's prizes and a runner-up.
Butler said of his two wins: "An aspect of the awards which makes them challenging is the fact that each entry must be all your own work. Winning these two awards has been amazing for me, given that they usually attract some of the very best advisers in the UK."
Robert Lockie was a winner in these awards a few years ago, but has been barred from entering for the past few years because he married the principal judge. When his wife stepped down from that role this year, he was eligible once again to enter; he won one case study and was runner-up in another.
Robert commented: "It is good to have an independent endorsement of one's planning abilities that is delivered by informed professionals whose abilities I respect highly.
"Winning this award, together with the firm's previous successes in these awards, demonstrates the depth and breadth of our abilities to our professional connections and prospective clients. Completing this year's entries turned out to be way more challenging than in previous years, as our son Thomas was finally delivered in August, eight weeks early, and is now home and disrupting our lives even more than the entries did."
