The Wizard of Oz (R.S.C. 1987)
DescriptionThis beloved tale, in which a Kansas farm girl travels over the rainbow to discover the magical power of home, has been entertaining audiences for generations. There are two versions of THE WIZARD OF OZ: MUNY and RSC. Both include the songs "Over The Rainbow," "Munchkinland (Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead)," "If I Only Had A Brain/A Heart/The Nerve," "We're Off To See The Wizard (Follow The Yellow Brick Road)," "The Jitterbug," and "The Merry Old Land of Oz." The MUNY version also has "Evening Star." The RSC version also includes "Poppies (Optimistic Voices)" and "If I Were King Of The Forest." The MUNY version is the more theatrically conservative, utilizing its set, props, actors, singers, dancers and musicians in traditional ways. Using L. Frank Baum's book - and not the MGM film - as its source, this version employs story and songs as elements of a classic stage musical. This version also includes the characters of Gloria and Lord Growlie. This RSC version is a more faithful adaptation of the film. A more technically complex production, it recreates the dialogue and structure of the MGM classic nearly scene for scene, though it is adapted for live stage performance. The RSC version's musical material also provides more work for the SATB chorus and small vocal ensembles.

Full Details
Video demonstration of Tams Rehearsal Aid
Dorothy Gale, a young girl living on a Kansas farm with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, dreams of escaping her mundane life ("Over The Rainbow"). The family's mean neighbor, Miss Gulch, threatens to impound Dorothy's cherished dog, Toto, so Dorothy and Toto run away. They meet up with kindly Professor Marvel, who subtly convinces Dorothy to return home. Suddenly a cyclone hits, and Dorothy and Toto, seeking shelter in the house, are transported to the Land of Oz.
In Oz, Dorothy meets Glinda, the Good Witch of the North (who has an uncanny resemblance to Aunt Em). Apparently, Dorothy's house has landed upon – and fatally stricken – the Wicked Witch of the East. The Munchkins, now freed from the Wicked Witch of the East, celebrate and hail Dorothy as their new heroine ("Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead/Munchkin Musical Sequence"). The celebration is interrupted as the Wicked Witch of the West suddenly appears, seeking vengeance. Unable to reclaim her sister's shoes, which are now on Dorothy's feet, the Witch vows to return and disappears in a cloud of smoke. Dorothy, seeking a way back home to Kansas, sets off to see the Wizard of Oz ("Follow the Yellow Brick Road").
Along the way, Dorothy meets three new friends, each of whom lacks a crucial characteristic: The Scarecrow ("If I Only Had A Brain") The Tinman ("If I Only Had A Heart") and the Lion ("If I Only Had The Nerve"). Together, the four new companions make their way towards Oz ("We're Off To See The Wizard"). The Witch attempts to sedate the travelers with a poisonous field of poppies, but Glinda reverses the spell with healing snowflakes ("Poppies/Optimistic Voices").
The travelers, arriving at the Emerald City, are delayed by a stubborn Gatekeeper, but Dorothy's tears convince him to relent and let them in ("Merry Old Land Of Oz"). As the group awaits its audience with the Wizard, the Lion boasts he is "King Of The Forest." Finally, they meet the imposing and irritable Wizard, who demands the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West.
The four friends travel deep into the haunted forest. Suddenly, they encounter jitterbugs, who make them dance until they collapse from exhaustion ("Jitterbug"). The Wicked Witch's flying monkeys swoop down, capturing Dorothy and Toto. At the castle, the Witch vows to take Dorothy's life. Meanwhile, the Lion, Scarecrow, and Tinman infiltrate the castle disguised as Winkie guards. The foursome and Toto are reunited, but the Wicked Witch interferes, threatening the Scarecrow with fire. Dorothy, dousing the flames with a bucket of water, accidentally strikes the Witch, who smolders and melts into nothing ("Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead – Reprise"). The four friends, triumphant, take the Witch's broom back to the Wizard.
The Wizard remains imperious and imposing, but Toto pulls aside a curtain to reveal a meek and ordinary man speaking into a microphone. The Wizard, revealed to be a "humbug," nonetheless grants each traveler's request, giving the Scarecrow, the Tinman, and the Lion each a token of his newly-acquired ability. The Wizard offers to take Dorothy back to Kansas in his hot-air balloon, but the balloon accidentally takes off, and Dorothy is left alone and crestfallen. Glinda appears and explains that Dorothy has always had the power to return home. All she has to do is close her eyes, tap her heels together three times, and repeat to herself, "There's no place like home."
Back in Kansas, Dorothy awakens, confused, with a bump on her head. Reunited with all her loved ones, and relieved to learn the storm has left Miss Gulch incapacitated by a broken leg, Dorothy shares the tale of her miraculous journey, celebrating the joy and healing power of home.

Japan Output Dips to 16-month Low in August
Japan's manufacturing output has further declined in August as new business decreased at an accelerated rate, HSBC said.
Backlogs of work fell as a result, while jobs growth eased to nearstagnation. Meanwhile, average costs declined at the sharpest rate since November 2009 and companies continued to lower their average tariffs.
After adjusting for seasonal factors, the headline Markit/JMMA Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) posted 47.7 in August, down from 47.9 one month previously, signalling the sharpest worsening of Japanese manufacturing sector operating conditions since April 2011. Moreover, the latest deterioration in business conditions was broadbased across all three market groups.
Japanese manufacturing production declined further in August, with the rate of contraction accelerating to the fastest in 16 months. The latest reduction in factory output was the third in as many months. Where a drop in manufacturing production was recorded, companies mentioned lower levels of new business.
The rate of decline in new work was marked, and broadly unmoved since the month before. New export business fell at a similarly sharp rate, albeit one slower than in July. Anecdotal evidence provided by survey respondents suggested that falling new orders reflected weak demand on global markets, with China and Europe mentioned in particular.
Reflecting falling new orders and corresponding spare capacity, backlogs of work decreased further in August. The rate at which firms depleted work-inhand (but not yet completed) was sharp, and the steepest since May 2009. Meanwhile, latest data showed that staff numbers in the Japanese manufacturing sector were broadly unchanged since the month before.
In line with reduced output requirements, purchasing activity decreased at a solid rate during August. Stocks of purchases declined for the first time in three months as a result, while companies reported a marginal deterioration in supplier performance.
Average input costs faced by Japanese manufacturing firms decreased for a third successive month during August. The rate of decline in purchasing costs was solid, and the steepest in 33 months. Companies commented on reduced prices paid for oil and a range of raw materials.
Largely in response to falling input costs, goods producers in Japan reduced their average tariffs during August. There were also reports of client requests for lower charges and competitive pressures. However, the rate of output price discounting was only modest, and the weakest in four months.
Alex Hamilton, economist at Markit and author of the report said: "The data provide further evidence to suggest that growth in the world's third largest economy is faltering in the face of weakening global demand conditions. Overall new business declined at a solid rate, while the index measuring trends in factory output fell further over the month.
"There was more deflationary news on the price front, with average input costs and output charges decreasing simultaneously for a third month running. Meanwhile, a muted labour market picture was signalled by the latest survey, with employment stagnating."

Department of Justice Announces $125 Million in Grants for President Bush's DNA Initiative and Other Crime-Solving Forensic Services
WASHINGTON — The Department of Justice has awarded more than $125 million in grants nationwide as part of President Bush's DNA Initiative, Advancing Justice Through DNA Technology, and for other crime-solving forensic services. The DNA Initiative was launched in 2003 and is a five-year, $1 billion commitment to improve the nation's capacity to use DNA evidence by eliminating casework and convicted offender backlogs; funding research and development; improving crime lab capacity; providing training for all stakeholders in the criminal justice system; and conducting testing to identify the missing and protect the innocent. In addition to the funding provided through the DNA Initiative, $18.5 million has been awarded to improve criminal justice forensic services. The grants will be administered by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the research, development, and evaluation arm of the Department of Justice. "DNA and other forensic evidence have proven to be valuable tools that have changed the landscape for law enforcement in solving crimes and removing criminals from our streets and communities," said Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales. "Through the President's DNA Initiative, crime victims and their families can know that law enforcement in their community have the best forensic tools available on their side." While DNA technology is helping to solve crimes and exonerate the innocent across the country, many public crime laboratories are not fully equipped to handle the increased demand for DNA testing. Some laboratories have large backlogs of unanalyzed DNA samples from convicted offenders and crime scenes, which can significantly delay criminal investigations and the administration of justice.
However, progress has been made since the DNA Initiative began. In March 2003, the Department estimated that the backlog of rape and homicide cases was approximately 350,000. To date, NIJ has provided over $76 million to perform DNA analysis on samples in over 48,000 cases. Since 2003, the FBI's Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) database of DNA samples has increased from 52,000 to more than 144,000 unique DNA profiles from crimes. In March 2003, the Department estimated that the number of backlogged DNAconvicted offender samples was between 200,000 and 300,000, and that another 500,000 to 1 million samples had yet to be collected from offenders who were required by law to give such a sample. To date, NIJ has paid for the analysis of over 1.2 million samples. In Fiscal Year 2006, NIJ will pay for the analysis of over 800,000 additional samples. Since 2003, the FBI's CODIS database has grown from 1.3 million DNA profiles of known offenders to over 3.4 million. Extensive training materials and programs have been developed for police, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges, forensic scientists, medical personnel, victim service providers, corrections officers, and probation and parole officers. NIJ has funded research on tools to analyze smaller pieces of evidence, highlydegraded evidence, and to make DNA analysis less costly. Since 2003, NIJ has made grants in excess of $14 million for new research on DNA tools and techniques. In fiscal year 2006 NIJ will make an additional $12.2 million in research, development and evaluation grants for DNA and other areas of forensic science. Nationwide, in fiscal year 2006 NIJ has awarded over $73 million to help eliminate DNA sample backlogs. Of that $73 million, $19.2 million will be for DNA casework; $39.5 million for DNA laboratory capacity building; and $14.9 million for convicted offender testing. The Department is investing $3.7 million for DNA training; $12.2 million for DNA and forensics research, development and evaluation; $2 million for use of DNA in missing persons cases, and $4.9 million to the National Institute of Standards and Technology for development of forensic science tools and standards. In addition, $3.9 million soon will be made available for post conviction DNA testing assistance. More information about President Bush's DNA Initiative can be found at http://www.dna.gov. NIJ has also awarded $18.5 million for Paul Coverdell Forensic Science Improvement Grants that can be applied to improving non-DNA forensic services. This funding represents the largest amount of money provided by the Department to support state and local forensic efforts. The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) provides federal leadership in developing the nation's capacity to prevent and control crime, administer justice, and assist victims. OJP is headed by an Assistant Attorney General and comprises five component bureaus and an office: the Bureau of Justice Assistance; the Bureau of Justice Statistics; the National Institute of Justice; the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention; and the Office for Victims of Crime, as well as the Community Capacity Development Office, which incorporates the Weed and Seed strategy and OJP's American Indian and Alaska Native Affairs Desk.

Study Question
Explain the fundamental differences between senstization , habituation, and classical conditioning?© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com August 18, 2018, 1:47 pm ad1c9bdddf
Solution Preview
Sensitization is an increase in response to a benign or innocuous stimulus when that stimulus is followed by an unpleasant stimulus. An often used example is with the sea slug Aplysia. If you touch the slug's siphon it briefly withdraws its gill. If you electrically shock the tail of the animal and then touch the siphon, it will withdraw its gill for longer even though the touch is not painful.
Habituation is a reduction of response to a stimulus ...


text: In the comments of yesterday's post Ben asked whether any other 400D owners had run the calibration process. I hadn't thought of that. I'd searched for Lightroom 'presets' that fixed the colours and come up empty, but it didn't occur to me to check for raw results of the ACR calibration script. A bit of googling and I found this post, in which a wedding photographer lists the results of his 400d calibration. I copied the settings into Lightroom and there was an immediate improvement. It was a touch too saturated for my tastes, but a quick fix later and I've got something that's great. It's not quite perfect – I imagine the values change based on individual cameras and specific colour temperatures – but easily good enough for the meantime. I'm happy. Thanks, Ben!

rates were essentially unchanged Today. On average, rates were slightly higher to begin the day, but an afternoon reversal in bond markets was sufficiently strong to prompt many lenders to release positively revised rate sheets. That tipped the scales back toward a slight improvement on the day with Best-Execution for 30yr Fixed, Conventional loans continuing to hold in the 3.375% to 3.5% range.
(Read More:What is A Best-Execution Mortgage Rate?)
With respect to rate sheet offerings from lender to lender, there are a few notable outliers at the moment. Year-end/New-year pricing strategies as well as lenders' responses to last week's volatility have made for a higher-than-normal degree of stratification. Some lenders are "business as usual," adjusting rate sheets in the same proportion to market movements as they were in November/December. Other lenders progressively became more conservative and continue to lag the rest of the pack when markets are improving and to raise rates quicker when markets are deteriorating.
Loan Originator Perspectives
"Rates remain LOW--- please take advantage while you are able. Get your loan in process even if you are not locked. This will give you the most advantageous position to lock at a desired rate!!" -Bob Van Gilder, Finance One Mortgage
"After a disappointing start to the day, MBS have managed a nice rally to move back into positive territory. The benchmark 10 year is also flirting with the 1.87 level. Closing below that would be a good sign but has been unable to hold that for the past few days...strong resistance. I rarely like locking on a Friday and that holds true today especially when you consider the late day rally we are having. If your lender comes out with a strong reprice better, you may want to consider locking if you are closing in the short term, but i favor floating everything over the weekend." -Victor Burek, Open Mortgage.
"Market searching for direction is a scary thing sometimes. The day started ugly, but has improved afternoon. Some reprices for the better rolled in so maybe we end the week on a positive note. Wait until Monday to lock." -Mike Owens, Partner with HorizonFinancial, Inc.
"We've settled into a new trading range, .125 to .25% higher in conforming rates than December lows. Good news is that FHA's and VA's are hanging in there at 3.25% in most cases. As we mentioned yesterday, just because rates are reasonably stable is no reason to assume they'll stay that way. Fed members have been mentioning the dreaded "I" word recently (as in Inflation), and it doesn't take much of that to roil the bond markets under the best of circumstances! " -Ted Rood, Senior Originator, Wintrust Mortgage.
"Rates held near record lows to end 2012, then rose .125% to start 2013 (after some tiny progress on U.S. fiscal policy and concern over waning Fed support of MBS markets as this year progresses), and we end this week at those slightly higher levels. It's unlikely rates will spike in the next 1-2 weeks, but upside rate risk outweighs a rate drop for now. Rate shoppers should act accordingly. " -Julian Hebron, Branch Manager, RPM Mortgage.

With school in full swing, I realize what exactly my mother meant when she said 'tuition may be expensive, but it's all the extras that kill me!' Everytime Book Fair, Cheerleading, Field Trips, Summer Abroad Trips and the like came up, I would hear this line! Of course be it 8 or 18 I just rolled my eyes and held my hand out. Now it's come full circle! haha! I am at day 3 of Pre-K and I am surrounded by order forms and slips for just about everything! Registration time is starting up for Fall activities and it's nuts! But how can I say no to a little girl that draws pictures of me everyday? How can I say no to the little boy that runs and hugs me when he gets out of class? Yup, I have 2 times the expenses at one time! I have 2 kids in school for the very first time this year.
While in school we got the Scholastic Book forms and how can you say NO to books?! Reading is awesome! While I think the 14 they wanted was just crazy, we settled on 7! hahah! That's not too bad and like I said it's learning!! Then there was the School cookbook forms, you have to get that, it supports the school! Then School Magazine and that was too cute to pass up on too.....Hmm...maybe this mom needs to learn to say No early before I start saying:

Found Searching EART TEAM on Etsy
Today, the Eart Team and I are discussing what is the one thing we struggle with most as Small Business Owners. There are several that find me tearing my hair out, but the main one seems to be production. I sell the most when I list the most new items. We're talking new items, not just renewing or refreshing old ones. I don't know why that is, as I am 90% selling to new customers. Yesterday I spent a grand total of 4.00 in listing and renewing. That may seem to be a lot, but in the end, but the time I woke up this morning I had sold 12 items and a custom request for 2 more. It feels great, but it has me struggling to create more. When I force it, my items come out sub par and not as creative as I would like. When I let me creativity lead the way, I can only churn out 3 pieces at most a day. I have scheduled times to work and when I am not working, I have a notebook in my diaper bag, purse and car that let me write out or sketch ideas as they come. I can only hope that with time, I can keep production up to where it needs to be. I noticed as Summer neared and we were out daily on activities, playing outside or just errands, that my productivity DROPPED and sales slowed. Hopefully that will be enough incentive for me!

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — Allegiant Air says a flight from Las Vegas to Missoula, Montana, was diverted after a light warned of a problem with the plane's hydraulic system.
The flight on Friday was diverted to West Wendover, Nevada, a city along Interstate 80 on the Nevada-Utah line.
Allegiant spokeswoman Jessica Wheeler says the crew landed the plane safely, and passengers were transferred to a different plane, which completed the trip to Missoula.
That flight arrived in the Montana city about six hours later than originally scheduled.
Wheeler says there was a report of an unidentified odor in the cabin, but all 146 passengers and six crew members aboard weren't affected.

SHORTLAND and MR
280. Have you looked at the details of the proposed
Bill? I think you will see in there that the powers proposed for
local authorities are quite limited. You would not have the power
to call for all of the information requested, you would not have
the power.
(Cllr Hendry) It depends on the background. We are
fortunate that in Bedfordshire we have a very good relationship,
going back many years, between health and social services. For
example, last week we had a meeting with all of the members of
the executive, with the chief executive and all of the executives
of the health authority and the chairman of the health authority
to discuss common problems. We have a very good relationship.
I do not envisage that we will be sticking strictly to the letter
of the law. I think there will be good will on both sides to do
the job that we are required to do. Yes, I agree with you that
it does in some areas seem limiting. I do not think it will provide
an impediment in Bedfordshire because of the culture we created
over the last seven or eight years.
281. Is goodwill enough? If there were issues
of concern do you think you would have sufficient power to be
influential in exercising the scrutiny role?
(Cllr Hendry) We hope so. Nothing is set in stone,
not even Westminster gets everything right first time.
282. How could you suggest such a thing?
(Cllr Hendry) I would like to think that if is not
quite right we can fine tune it as we go. Experience is the best
teacher, I think.
Mrs Dunwoody: These are very revolutionary ideas
that I hope will not catch on.
283. In Bedfordshire you almost set the structure
on the basis that it is going to be hung after the next set of
elections; is that a fair comment?
(Cllr Hendry) No, no, no there is going to be a very
large Conservative majority. We are going to at least double the
Conservative majority from one to two. From 1981 to 1997 Bedfordshire
had been hung for 16 years we were a hung authority. Therefore,
it was absolutely essential that the three political parties worked
together for the benefit of Bedfordshire. Surprise, surprise we
found that 95 per cent of the time we were all agreed on everything
and it was only for 5 per cent that we were politicians and we
fought about things. When we, in fact, brought in the modernisation
agenda on 1st January 1999 I felt it would be a tragedy if we
lost all that we created over that period of time and went for
a single party executive. That is why we did have an all-party
executive. I believe the all-party executive has worked very well
in the two years that we have been in existence. Who knows what
the election result will be, if it is close either way, Labour
or Conservative, I would like to think that we would have an all-party
executive. If there is a large majority for one party then I am
sure the pressure will be on to have a single party executive.
Our executive is totally flexible, we have eight members of the
executive with eight portfolios and they can go to one party,
or in our case they can go to three parties.
284. Does that framework fit well with the party
(Cllr Hendry) I am not sure how party caucus is affected.
The leader of the Liberal Democrats is the only Liberal Democrat
on the executive; the leader and the deputy leader[4]
from the Labour Group are the only two Labour members on the executive.
Myself and my deputy leader and three other members are the Conservatives.
Clearly we have, if you like to so describe it, the most influential
caucus on the executive.
285. In terms of the party groups do they discuss
policy before it gets to the cabinet or afterwards?
(Cllr Hendry) Both before and afterwards. It is naive
to suggest that it is not discussed before it gets to the cabinet.
Whatever the law says people will meet in smoked filled rooms
and discuss things if they are of sufficient importance, I believe.
Yes, of course we discuss amongst ourselves different things.
286. As far as the legislation is concerned
is government guidance helpful?
(Mr Bell) In many cases it has been helpful. Draft
constitutions have prevented everyone having to write for themselves.
At times it has been a bit frustrating and we are trying to get
moving on the agenda and are finding that consultation documents
or guidance does not quite arrive when you expect it, and that
is frustrating.
287. Sometimes it is helpful, do not knock it.
(Mr Bell) I think there is an issue, perhaps after
the county council elections, about whether we are going to be
able to move quickly enough, given what Councillor Hendry said,
and if the majority shapes up differently we may want to move
to a different arrangement quickly. We need to be clear that we
can move to that. On balance I think it has been quite helpful,
you have to be sensible and not wait for every bit of guidance,
and take some initiatives and make some decisions yourself.
288. How long did it take you to read?
(Mr Bell) We divided it all up, no single person has
read it all.
289. How many hours of officer's time?
(Mr Bell) It has taken a considerable amount of time.
I am not complaining too much about that, it is a major change
and it demands some attention. Again, to be fair to the DETR they
have provided a model constitution which helps us to slot in,
as it were, where we want to put the local emphasis without having
to go back to the beginning and write all of the text out for
290. Did you say a moral constitution?
(Mr Bell) Model.
Mrs Dunwoody: I am so glad.
291. As you get the new councillors to sign
on on 4th May, somewhere round then, do you hand them this pack?
(Cllr Hendry) The one plea I would make is that the
Government is not to be over-prescriptive. Somebody said in evidence
earlier on that there should be the flexibility to fashion things
that are right for your community. I think that that is very important.
Inevitably there might be some who want to use an over-prescriptive
direction to their political advantage, and so on, which I think
would be highly detrimental. I do hope there is still enough flexibility
for the individual.
292. You hope, but do you think there is really
enough flexibility?
(Cllr Hendry) I question that.
(Ms Shortland) At the moment it looks as though there
ought to be enough flexibility. The more guidance that comes out
of it, it looks like that flexibility is reducing. Also, there
are other parts of government working that impact upon what local
authorities do. Can I give you a very brief example, building
control, which we have area based, it works extremely well. It
fits within all of the regulations for modernisation of local
government, but there is another part of government which says
that building control has to be self-financing, has to compete
with the private sector and it has completely wrecked everything
that we have built up in terms of building control. That is one
service, we can live with that. If that happens with planning,
with environmental health and government bring all of these other
things in the guidance notes that allow us the flexibility to
keep area committees it will be wasted because it will go out
of the window because the other things will impact upon it and
cross it all out.
Chairman: On that note can I thank all of you
for your evidence. Thank you very much.

Boogie by the bay. Just a few miles before Folly Beach, there's an island of legend called Bowens. It's blessed with a bounty of fried oysters and shrimp, and sunsets beautiful enough to convince carpetbaggers to put their house on the market and move south. Come Piccolo Spoleto time, it gets even better, when Charleston's best blues acts plug in their Telecasters and shake-it-on-down over the water.
Sax for everyone. The Louie D Project may not be your typical blues band, but music lovers of any type will yell for more when King Louie holds court at Bowens. They also won't be complaining when 18-year-old phenom Wyatt Garey tears up his ax. Fans of the Grateful Dead's Pigpen era can call out the group's old blues favorites for the Hungry Monks.
Get your feet wet. Did we mention that this venue is literally built over the water on a staggeringly beautiful tidal creek? Sit by the water in the evening, swing your feet off the dock, and don't be embarrassed to ask the band to play some Otis Redding. They're not strict on the interpretation of "blues" around here.

If you aren't in the apparel business, it is one of those categories you sort of take for granted.
Meaning, you don't really think about how the stuff you wear is made. Or who makes it. Or where it's made. Or who decides how it fits. And so on.
Funny things happen in the making of apparel. There is no machine that can put a shirt, a pant, a dress, or a jacket together. It takes lots of humans working together to make it happen. And where there are humans, especially humans on different sides of the world working on the same product, things can happen.
One of the worst phone calls I ever received was from a very large customer. A retailer you know well. The company I was working for had sold them a very large order of shorts several years ago.
The shorts were manufactured in China. The manufacturing process goes something like this.
You pick out fabric, buttons, zippers, thread, a pattern and you have it all shipped to a factory in China (or some other faraway outpost) and have them do the cutting and sewing.
The factory sends a first production sample for approval before they make the entire order. You review the sample, point out any necessary changes, communicate those to the factory, and tell the factory to proceed.
When the production sample for the shorts in this story came in for approval, we were very pleased. Fabric was correct, fit was good, sewing was excellent. A green light to go ahead.
The Chinese manufacturers are very literal folks. They do exactly what you ask them to do. Nothing more, nothing less.
One thing we didn't notice on the production sample was that the back pockets were sewn shut. Even though there was a pocket bag sewn in as well, for some reason, the factory sewed the pockets shut. For all the experts looking at it on our side, it never occurred to any of us that the factory somehow thought that was the correct way to make the short.
But they did, cause we didn't tell them any different. We assumed, and that's a bad thing.
So, we shipped 500,000 shorts with back pockets sewn shut to one of our largest customers.
"Alan, there's something not right with your shorts", began the phone call.
"Is my panty line showing?", I replied just before I fell into the abyss of reality.
"No, dumass. You just shipped me 500,000 shorts with back pockets sewn shut."
"I have 20 samples here in my office."
"Let me check on this and I will get right back to you. This just can't be true."
But, it was.
By the time we took the return, paid for the freight, sold the shorts off for pennies, it would have made us qualified for TARP money had such a thing existed then.
They aren't funny when they happen. But in retrospect, they are classic. And they happen everyday.
A buddy told me a story about selling 50,000 women's blazers to a retailer. They arrived with the sleeves sewn on backward. Meaning the right sleeve had been sewn into the left sleeve hole, and vice versa. So the sleeves pointed behind you.
A really handy item for the double-jointed.
He can laugh now, but he had tears in his eyes when he got THAT phone call.
So the next time you go to buy a new clothing item (which looking at sales figures sounds like it might not be anytime soon), don't take it for granted.
If it fits, if the zipper goes in the right direction, if the sleeves are the same length, it is a minor miracle.
Somewhere in this world, a man is wearing a beautiful silk tie handmade in Italy with upside down palm trees all over it. And he paid a buck for it.
I know. I made those, too.
We pondered shipping them to Australia to see if crossing the equator might make the palm trees right side up. But the freight was too much.
So we sold them for pennies to jobbers all over the world.
And right now, that lucky man is getting compliments on his unusual, beautiful tie.

Savvy business owners know that a strong web presence is increasingly important to the company's growth and sustainability.
This is true for almost every industry, and a big part of that includes online reviews.
However, Boston business lawyers have seen a spike in cases involving untrue, or libelous postings, made by disgruntled customers and, in some cases, even competitors.
Because these postings can tangibly impact your business in a negative way, you do have legal recourse. Similar cases have been cropping up across the country, and involve professionals in a wide range of fields including: medicine, religion, construction, hospitality and dining.
The cases can be brought about specifically when such reviews are untrue, unfair or especially damaging.
Some recent examples across the country include:
1. A Colorado doctor who is suing for the review a former patient posted on Angie's List, RateMds.com and other websites. The patient claimed that the doctor had filled her medical file with things that weren't true. She further asserted that the doctor "almost killed" her and said the doctor was under investigation by the state medical board. The patient claims all of this is true. The doctor disagrees, and says the reviews are hurting his practice. The doctor said he first tried to get the patient to take the posts down, but the patient refused.
2. An Oregon pastor is suing both a mother and daughter for $500,000 for a negative blog post and comments that label the church a "cult," contend its tactics amount to "spiritual abuse" and that the leaders of the organization are "creepy." The church sued not only the originator of the blog, but also those who had commented as well.
3. An Illinois concrete company has sued a woman there for reportedly giving them an "F" rating on a consumer review, after the woman claimed that the company refused to give her an estimate on her patio, saying they didn't work in the area. However, their headquarters were only five minutes from her home, she said. The company says the review was malicious, false and intended to damage the business. The suit is for $10,000.
4. A towing company is suing a 21-year-old college student, who created negative Facebook page against the company after his permitted vehicle was towed. The company alleged the permit was not visible and it was not wrong in initiating the tow. However, some 800 people joined the blog in short order. The company is seeking $750,000 in damages.
The goal of these cases is not so much the money. Yes, businesses may have suffered financial losses, for which they have a right to be compensated. But the bigger issue here is compelling consumers to be truthful and protecting the reputation of a business.
Truth is the only defense in these cases, under Massachusetts General Law 231.59H. This is also known as an "Anti-SLAPP" law. SLAPP stands for Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation. Massachusetts is one of 27 states that have Anti-SLAPP laws, which do make it somewhat more difficult to file such lawsuits. What this basically means is that the online review or posting must be untrue.
That is the legal standard. It does not mean that you cannot have an attorney draft a letter or make contact with the consumer requesting a cease and desist. Many times this alone can be enough to compel a consumer to pull down the offending posts.

Longhike is a very popular annual event usually held on a weekend in late September or late October. Despite the name, for the most part it does not involve hiking, although some years there is a "rock 0" hike and/or a "rock 2.5" intro to sport climbing. On Saturday there is a "rock school" in Squamish. This consists of small groups led by an instructor who is a VOC member with climbing experience. Groups climb at either Murrin Park or the Little Smoke Bluffs. All ability levels are welcome and no climbing experience is necessary. The Saturday night will include dinner at Evans lake followed by a dessert potluck and a huge party with a DJ. On Sunday and/or Monday is open climbing days and there will be no formal instruction. This is the perfect time to try out your newly learned skills with people that you have met climbing or partying.
October 6th - 7th, 2007
Climbing in Squamish (Smoke Bluffs or Murrin Park), followed by a huge climbing party and sleepover at the Evans Lake Forest Education Centre. You'll be staying in cabins that fit 8-10 comfortably, bring a sleeping bag. If the weather is good, there's also a lake!

From Brownsburg, Indiana, USA:
I have diabetes, controlled with diabetes pills. I have had acute diarrhea for a long time which seems to be periodic throughout the year. I take Imodium AD but still have terrible problems. Is this or can this be connected to my diabetes?
Although you use the word acute, it sounds to me like this is a chronic diarrhea. It is true that diabetes can cause diarrhea. However, a number of other conditions need to be ruled out. These other conditions include a chronic infection from bacteria or parasite, malabsorption syndrome (including celiac disease that is common in type 1 diabetes), bacterial overgrowth syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and other functional problems. You need to be working with your physician to evaluate the diarrhea. The clinical testing is not necessarily extensive but will help to identify the cause. With the cause known, the treatment can be more specific.

Are Women Passive When It Comes to Sex? Yes, and It's Biological, Not Cultural.
Earlier this week we asked female readers to write in telling us whether they experience their sexuality as relatively passive and male readers to write in telling us if they see female sexual passivity as the norm (or not). Many responded. We'll be publishing some of these responses today and tomorrow. Here is the first.
From: Vanessa
I am a woman who is not passive at all when it comes to romance. When I go out, I'm always checking people out, I tend to be the one who asks for a first date, and in the bedroom it is almost always me making the first move. Despite all of this, I'm still of the opinion that there is a general tendency for women to be more passive and to want to be the object of desire, and my suspicion has always been that this is more based in biology than culture.
Let me explain: I am a lesbian. I've always dated women and moved in the circles of women who date other women. And, I gotta tell ya, there's a whole lot of passivity going around when lesbians get together with other lesbians. No one wants to make the first move, everybody wants to be approached, and being someone who likes to do the approaching can be a massive boon, because while everyone else is being passive, I can swoop in and have a chance with whoever might interest me.
Now, I'm no scientist, and all of this is clearly anecdotal, but it seems to me that this suggests a biological basis for female passivity rather than a cultural one. The reason being lesbians have different cultural norms than heterosexual women. We wear our hair differently, we dress differently, we tend toward slightly larger body sizes, we play more sports, etc, etc. But while there are probably more active-type lesbians than there are among heterosexual women, it doesn't seem to be the norm to me. Far from it. So I have always concluded that female desire tends to naturally be more passive and that I myself am just an incredibly lucky outlier.

Cougar Woman's Boyfriend Wants Kids
by Linda Franklin - The Real Cougar Woman
I got this email from a an older woman who found herself in a relationship with a younger man. The problem she faces is one shared by many women so I wanted to share it with my readers. I asked her permission and she said yes.
Hi Linda,
My name is Tara and I'm a avid reader of your blog and a member of The Real Cougar Woman Club.
I was wondering if you could write an article or pass along some advice to me regarding my situation with dating a younger man. My experience may not be as unique as I feel it is, but I haven't been able to find anyone who has gone through a similar situation.
I was dating a man who was thirty, I was forty seven at the time. Initially we had been friends, each in relationship with someone else. As our friendship developed we grew closer and decided that we wanted to be together as partners. My age was never an issue for him but i struggled with it a bit, my self esteem and confidence issues surfaced but we managed.
Not too long after we hooked up, a good friend of his passed away leaving his wife and their two young children, one being a new baby. When this happened, his desire to have a family really surfaced and it ultimately led to us parting ways.
We were apart for about eight months although we stayed in touch as our friendship was so strong. He came back a few months ago saying that he didn't want to be without me and realized that our being together was the most important thing to him. We promised each other that we would communicate if his feelings about having kids were to surface again....and unfortunately, they did.
We talked but really, the bottom line cant be changed. I have two children, a twenty one yr old and a sixteen yr old and I don't want to start another family. Even if I could, I'm too old to have a child and like I said, having a child again even through invitro or adoption is not an option for me. We decided to end the relationship and I've asked for no contact because being in touch only fuels the pain and heartache.
As cut and dried as it seems, I'm having such a hard time with the loss of the relationship again. I understand it, I think it's great that he wants a family, but my heart feels otherwise. I'm so angry at the world and myself for falling in love with someone that I can't be with. I am everything he wants in a woman and we love each other so much. We get along famously in laughter, honesty and with a deep connection but our differences in age has brought about this painful circumstance.
I feel so alone and I wondered if you've come across this type of issue before and if so, would you share any insight that may help me get past it. Perhaps its like any other failed relationship, only time will be the healer. I miss everything about him, I love him so much. I don't know how to move on feeling so broken hearted. I know I will survive but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Tara, I feel your pain. It's not easy finding a man you have such a good connection with in so many areas. But, for what it's worth, I believe you did absolutely the right thing. You must listen to your gut even when the message it's sending you isn't what you want to hear. Living a happy life is all about the choices you make. I respect you for being upfront and honest with yourself and your boyfriend. Telling them what they want to hear at your expense never works. Hang in there the right man will come along. Many younger men have the added pressure of friends and family who could be reinforcing the family issue. Stay strong.
The Real Cougar Woman is a 5-carat diamond who knows the importance of taking care of her health, beauty, relationships, finances and spirituality. Linda Franklin says,"there is no stopping a woman who has a strong belief system, passion and a dream. All things are possible". Linda's book, Don't Ever Call Me Ma'am helps women of all ages tap into their power and live life to the fullest.

New toothpaste claims to rebuild lost tooth enamel
A new product has been developed to rebuild tooth enamel; its creators claim that the toothpaste can regenerate up to 82% of lost enamel after just three days of use. The company Unilever presents the toothpaste as a beauty product and explains that it contains calcium silicate and sodium phosphate, which should rebuild a new layer of enamel on the teeth by forming a fresh supply of minerals. This could also help to restore teeth to their original whiteness and make them stronger.
The product costs ten pounds and is also available with a 'Boosting Serum', which is another £30 to be used once a month with custom-fit mouth trays. The paste was launched yesterday at Selfridges and will subsequently be on sale at Boots from June 11th.
Research expert at Unilever, Fred Schafer, explained that 'It is not generally understood that 80% of common teeth problems, such as cavities and yellowing, can be caused by acid attacks and enamel erosion. The problem is that when enamel…is lost, our body cannot regenerate it.' Referring to the product, he said it 'is the world's first system able to reverse the early, invisible stages of this erosion and regenerate enamel with exactly the same mineral tooth enamel is made of.'

Roxette released their long-awaited first single off the 10th studio album on 8th April. It Just Happens is one of the 11 songs on the album and as Per says, it's one of his favourite tracks on Good Karma. It was written in May 2014 and it was one of the first songs they recorded for the album. They chose it as a first single, because it's great to have a little bit of Marie, a little bit of Per, a little bit of you and a little bit of everyone in it. Marie and Per promotes their new single together in THIS video.
The album is out on 3rd June in 3 formats: digital, CD and LP. You can have a look at the items on Bengans, Ginza, CDON, Amazon, etc. and you can pre-order it on iTunes as well. Being a worldwide release, you will probably find at least the CD in a record shop / petrol station near you. A limited edition coloured vinyl popped up only at Bengans so far. We don't know much about how many copies are planned to be released from it and if it has any other limited edition feature (e.g. a bonus track) besides being coloured. Well, Per mentioned some time ago that they had 20 songs for the album and recorded 14 properly. Now there are 11 tracks on the album, so what's with those 3 other properly recorded songs? They might turn up as bonus tracks somewhere and we hope to hear the demos, too.
In a recent interview Per says good karma is a positive thing and sums up Roxette's special history. They had all the success, then came all the disaster when Marie got ill in 2002, then they did their 2009 comeback against all odds. He states:
We want to make a positive statement with this album. There is a certain positiveness around the whole album.
The 10th album will be the shortest Roxette record with its 38 minutes, but each and every song has an exciting title and I think It Just Happens was a great teaser track for the whole thing. Marie says:
I look forward to the release of our album "Good Karma" in June – for me it's our best album ever!
Good Karma tracklist (incl. length)
- Why Dontcha? 2:45
- It Just Happens 3:46
- Good Karma 3:19
- This One 3:11
- You Make It Sound So Simple 3:42
- From A Distance 3:30
- Some Other Summer 3:08
- Why Don't You Bring Me Flowers? 3:32
- You Can't Do This To Me Anymore 3:50
- 20 bpm 3:48
- April Clouds 3:29
Warner Music did a great job with the promotion of the single, now let's hope they keep up the good thing and promote the album at least as enthusiastically. What else? Oh yes. Let's hope the radios start playing It Just Happens worldwide at last.
It's a torture to wait until 3rd June! Until then, some interviews will surely see the light of day, as Per posted about some phoners he did today. Looking very much forward to hear / read them all!
Thanx for the back cover with corrected aspect ratio, Roxette Cafe!

Just some of the 3500 Baseball Universities we work with
Baseball Scholarship?
If you are a baseball athlete and looking to gain a baseball scholarship then this section on baseball scholarships will help you understand what baseball scholarships consist of.
The American population loves baseball and it is one of the most played sports in America. This is why gaining a sport scholarship in baseball can be hard due to the high number of applicants. Universities and colleges award baseball scholarships to very talented baseball players, which enables the athlete to participate in collegiate, intercollegiate matches and national championships. In order to gain a baseball scholarship you need to be a male athlete. If you're a female you are unable to gain a baseball scholarship but you can apply for softball scholarships.
When is the best time to get an American Baseball Scholarship
The best time to go to the USA with a sport scholarship is right after graduation from high school or up to two years after. Only athletes ages 18 – 24 can compete within the college leagues, any older and you will be looking at competing in the NAIA. Coaches are increasingly committing to younger athletes as this gives them the opportunity to work with the athletes for a longer period of time. It is also possible to go to the USA for one to four years depending on the degree you are seeking. We would recommend going to America as early as possible because this will give you the best chance of gaining a sports scholarship and turning professional after college.
Baseball scholarships – How good do you have to be?
Athletic baseball scholarships can be achieved if you are at the right level. For good baseball players on the level of Division I the chances to receive a full scholarship are relatively high if you know who to contact.
In order to gain the most opportunities from your profile and thus receive higher scholarship offers, it is important that you try to participate in more national tournaments in the time prior to starting at a U.S. college. This will show college coaches that you are able to compete at a high level
If you are competing at national level then you have a great chance of receiving a 100% sport scholarship. Coaches will also look at an athlete's potential, it's a vital aspect, as coaches know from experience that even moderate athletic performance can be boosted immensely with their intensive training methods. A college recruitment coach will decide on an athlete based on their sport CV, the athlete, photographs, video and our staffs' advice regarding the athletes' ability.
To find out whether you have what it takes to obtain a baseball scholarship and therefore be placed on a college team, please complete our free application form Apply Now, so the team can evaluate your potential as a possible future college athlete. If the team believes you have a chance you will be invited to join our program. A sports consultant will go through everything you need to know about the sports scholarship process.
American Baseball Scholarships
wHAT IT'S LIKE TO COMPETE ON AN NCAA TEAM
Baseball training on a baseball scholarships program
If you gain a baseball scholarship you will be expected to practice with the team for around 3-5 hours a day 5 times a week. This would consist of baseball training and some additional strength and conditioning training. If you feel you are currently lacking strength in muscle and size then don't worry. Athletes USA works with leading sports nutrition brands that supply our athletes with leading sports nutrition products and information on how to reach you potential in the gym.
Baseball practice can seem tough to international athletes because you may not be used to the hard workouts and training. This hard training often allows baseball athletes to reach previously unattained levels of fitness and performance while playing at college. Many college athletes go on to be professional after they leave university.
The Baseball season
The baseball season always begins in spring (Spring Term/ January). This gives the teams time to train during the Fall term (August of the year before). If you are looking to join baseball college team you need to be signed to the college team around a year before.
Baseball National Championships
NCAA I – II: May / June NAIA: May / June

Customer Testimonials
We received our new windows in August 2007. The installers were timely, efficient and left no mess behind. Everyone that we have dealt with at your company has been very professional.
Jim and Trena B.
Mishawaka, IN
I think I made the right choice using Millennium Home Design, the construction of the windows far out weigh any of the others I've seen and the warranty outlast any other window company. I must say I was more than impressed with their work. When they left you wouldn't know they were even here.
Don C.
Anderson, IN
We didn't have to do a single thing afterwards but enjoy how nice the new windows and door looked and enjoy the view through them. From presentation to the installation of the windows we were impressed with the work of Millennium Home Design and gladly recommend you to others who need windows replaced.
Kip C.
Winona Lake, IN
The windows made a big difference because in the month of January my gas bill was $158.00 and for the month of February it was only $ 48.00. This is a great savings. Also if you need financing they can help. I want to thank the whole staff at Millennium Home Design for making this possible for a single mother and one small child. Everyone has been great.
Debbie L.
Fort Wayne, IN
I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate the professional, efficient way your company presented, sold and installed my new windows. The fact that you all seemed to have a great deal of knowledge, along with having a good product at a fair price, made the experience a pleasant one. The job was completely finished within three weeks from the time I first spoke with you. I would recommend your company to anyone in need of new windows. In fact, I have since contracted your company to install my new front door.
