The Festival Center is a 24,000 square foot building located just off the Kilgore College Campus at 815 Houston Street.
It was built in the 1970′s to serve as the home for the Region VII Educational Service Center. When Region VII moved to a larger building across town, it was transferred to Kilgore College and sat vacant, used only for occasional storage, until the College offered the space to the Texas Shakespeare Festival.
It is a block from the performance space and a block from Festival housing.
The first floor of the Festival Center contains the breakfast area, a small prep kitchen, the Costume Shop, period costume storage, the properties shop and storage, mail and copier room, Festival archives, and offices for the Managing Director, Festival Associates, Vocal Director, and Stage Management.
On the second floor is a large rehearsal space, a classroom, lounge and break area, study room, movement studio, and design studios.
The Anne Dean Turk Fine Arts Center, located on the campus of Kilgore College, houses the performance space, the Artistic Director's office, Stratford Room gift shop, Ticket Office, show props storage, electrics department, office space for the Technical Director and Master Electrician, and the scene and painting shop.
The Van Cliburn Auditorium, a comfortable and intimate indoor theatre, is located in the Anne Dean Turk Fine Arts Center and is the primary performance space for the Texas Shakespeare Festival. Built in the 1960′s, the VCA is a flexible proscenium stage with 195 seats and a padded bench at the back for overflow.
It has a performance space that measures approximately 30 x 30; contains a fly loft with 26 line sets; a trap center stage; and an stage apron built over an orchestra pit. It has limited wing space both right and left. Stage left there is a double door leading into the small scene shop area.
The VCA has a walk-able light balcony around the theatre and a new dimmer and light board. The light inventory is varied and contains both lights from the VCA and the Festival inventory.
Scene Shop: The small scene shop is located behind the performance space and is adequately supplied. Due to the large amount of scenery needed for the four-show season, most of the build takes place on stage and outside on the patio next to the loading dock.
The Festival does not have a painting studio space. The painting for the season takes place on stage, in the small scene shop, and on a patio area outside the loading dock area of the theatre. The painting budget, like all other Festival budgets, is small and is included in the scenery budget for the season.
Costume Shop: The Festival's costume shop is a large room on the first floor of the Festival Center. It includes seven sewing and four serger stations, industrial iron station, and four cutting tables. It also includes a large fitting room, shop supervisor office, craft area, and raw fabric storage. Also in the Festival Center, across the hall from the costume shop, is the Festival's period costume storage area.
Properties Shop: The Festival's properties shop is located on the first floor of the Festival Center. There is a small prop storage space adjacent to the shop and another larger storage space located a block from the Festival Center. There is also a small hand props storage area located in the basement of the Anne Dean Turk Fine Arts Center.

In the establishment phase of the Project, Elbit Systems will establish an enhanced logistic support and maintenance infrastructure for the new trainer as well as an advanced ground training array.

Bachelor's 12 Most Expensive Engagement Rings
In terms of reality television, The Bachelor opened up a whole new frenzy when it first aired on March 25, 2002. Since then there has been just as much success with The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise and, although the point is to find love, only a few have found real romantic connections on the show. Out of 21 seasons of The Bachelor so far there have only been 13 proposals and of those only two of the couples are still together, but those statistics haven't hindered the ring providers as the engagement rings given in the final rose ceremony seem to have only gotten more expensive and a whole lot bigger. Here are 12 of the most expensive engagement rings handed out on The Bachelor:
12. Aaron Buerge and Helene Eksterowicz
In the fall of 2002, The Bachelor was still new as it headed into its second season with Aaron Buerge as the leading man. In the end his season came down to Helene Eksterowicz and Brooke Smith and eventually Buerge proposed to Helene with a 2.75 carat Harry Winston Oval diamond worth a cool $29,000. Unlike some of the others, Buerge purchased the ring on his own, but unfortunately they broke up after only a few weeks and sold the ring on eBay for $28,300.
11. Andrew Baldwin and Tessa Horst
Season 10 of The Bachelor showcased Naval officer Andrew Baldwin's search for love which resulted with his engagement to Tessa Horst. While the ring appeared very simple there was a lot more to the elegant Chopard ring than met the eye. The diamond was actually conflict-free and was obtained through the most ethical process possible and ended up costing an impressive $50,000. Unfortunately it wasn't enough to keep the two together and they ended their engagement one month after the finale in May 2007, but continued their relationship until fully calling it quits in September of that year.

Making Sense of Wine Cooler Features
Bottle Capacity
Bottle capacity will tell you the max amount of wine bottles the manufacturer has recommended will fit. However, this is a general guideline often using standard bottle size measurements.
Bottle Capacity is the number one feature to consider when purchasing a wine cooler. However, many new wine cooler owners are dismayed to learn that their particular collection doesn't fit the manufacturer's bottle capacity quite so neatly.
- Look for a wine cooler that has removable shelves. This is the easiest way to anticipate storing larger bottles. It will lower the stated capacity, but if you anticipate this when purchasing, you will choose a capacity better suited for your collection.
- Most wine coolers are configured to store the wine bottles end to end- or alternating directions. This provides the most optimal storage solution, but you may want to keep all or certain bottles one direction.
- Consider the size of each zone. Dual zone coolers are excellent for storing a wide collection. If you have much more of one variety than the other, you will want to consider the bottle capacity of each zone, rather than the overall bottle capacity.
TIP: What size do I need?
A general guide when picking the bottle capacity of your new wine cooler:
- Reduce your capacity by about 25% if half your collection equals non "standard" Bordeaux bottles
- Reduce your capacity by about 50% if your collection consists mainly of the larger non "standard" Bordeaux bottles.
Remember the old adage: "the bigger the better"? Well that applies to wine coolers too!
It is much better to have a little extra space in your wine cooler, rather than have it stuffed full, with no room for that new favorite red you just bought.
Plus, if you have extra space, it will be good encouragement to grow your wine collection!
Cooling Mechanism
The Danby Wine Coolers we are looking at in this article are all compressor style coolers.
Compressor cooling is much more powerful than thermo-electric cooling. This is why most built in or large capacity wine coolers run on compressor cooling.
Compressor cooling is ideal for anyone who has a large wine collection, or who is looking for a large capacity wine cooler.
This type of cooling is also ideal in very warm climates. Compressor cooled wine coolers are more resistant to ambient temperatures, and excel at keeping ideal storage temperatures, no matter the external environment.
There are drawbacks to using a compressor, however.
Because of the moving parts and the on / off cycling nature, compressor style coolers can vibrate slightly. Ideally, wine is best stored someone with little to no movement, to keep the wine from being shaken up.
The moving parts can also contribute to the wine cooler giving off noise. Much like your refrigerator (which also uses a compressor to cool), compressor style wine coolers can occasionally give off a small hum. This is something to keep in mind if you plan to have your wine cooler in a high traffic area, or somewhere you don't want to be disturbed by noise.
TIP: Consider ambient temperatures an environment where the Danby wine cooler will be located.
Single VS Dual Cooling
Danby makes both single zone cooling and dual zone cooling wine coolers.
A Single Zone cooler means that the cooler can only be set to one temperature. Since white wine and red wine is ideally stored a different temperatures, typically only one type (red or white) is stored in these coolers.
A Dual Zone coolers has two separate cooling zones, meaning both reds and whites can be stored in the same unit at their ideal temperatures.
TIP: Must will want a dual zone
Tinted Glass Doors
All Danby wine coolers come standard with tinted window door. While it may not seem like a big deal, you definitely want to go with a wine cooler that does not let light into the cooler. Light and UV rays can adversely affect wine, so choose a cooler that does not allow UV light in.
Parting Thoughts on Danby Wine Coolers:
The YES for purchasing a Danby Wine Cooler:
- Compressor Cooling System. This system is much less sensitive to environmental temperatures, and can achieve lower temperatures than a thermoelectric unit.
- Design. Danby Wine Coolers are beautifully designed. They look sophisticated, and many reviews indicate how happy they are with the looks. Many feel that Danby Wine Coolers look richer and more sophisticated than the price paid for them!
- Excellent in smaller spaces. Danby specializes in smaller size coolers- perfect for under the counter. In fact, the 27 inch perfectly replaces the space left by old trash compactors!
The NO for purchasing a Danby Wine Cooler:
- The largest customer complaint about Danby Wine Coolers has been concerning Danby customer service. Reviewers complain that they are difficult to work with, or to even get ahold of. While many happy customers never have the need to contact Danby customer service, it can be a frustrating process for those that do.
- Compressor Cooling System. Yes, this pro can also be a con. The second biggest complaint was noise. This is due to the compressor cooling system cycling on and off. While some customers didn't feel like the noise bothered them, for some this was their largest complaint.

The bullet glides over lips to lace them with a soothing and cooling lightweight texture. Not only does the lip treatment contain a delicious honey scent, but it also includes a delicate bronze gold finish which just adds a touch of shimmer and shine; the result is subtle, but one which ensures lips look healthy and kissable. Although I wouldn't recommend this for super dry or chapped lips (investing in a more targeted and intense treatment will be both more effective and affordable) it's great to replace a traditional balm or add a touch of shimmer to nude lips when you want your eye makeup to do the talking. Similarly, you can also use Queen Bee over a lip stain or blotted lipstick to provide lips with a hit of moisture, inject comfort and provide an understated shimmer.
Lipstick Queen were one of my 'brands to watch in 2015' and they're already delivering on that promise. I love that they've identified a need that's prominent with lipstick wearers (no matter how nourishing the lipstick, if you wear it a lot you'll end up with dry lips that require some pampering) and developed an innovative product to ensure their customers still shop within their reportoire. I adore the scent, I love the delicate shimmer and the packaging injects a touch of glamour into my lip balm collection. At £20.00 Queen Bee is still somewhat an investment, but for fans of Lipstick Queen this will no doubt be top of their list this Spring.
Lipstick Queen's NEW Queen Bee lip treatment will be available in February priced £20.00.

Need a Mediator?
Arts Arbitration & Mediation Services [AAMS]
What is Arts Arbitration and Mediation Services?
Arts Arbitration and Mediation Services (AAMS), a program of California Lawyers for the Arts (CLA), has provided alternative dispute resolution to artists and entertainers since 1980. CLA started AAMS, which was the first alternative dispute resolution program in the country to specifically tailor its services for the arts and entertainment communities, as a natural extension of the organization's mission to provide preventative education and appropriate means of self help for artists, who often become involved in business arrangements without being fully informed of the legal consequences.
CLA established a special alternative dispute resolution program for the arts after noticing that disputes involving artists, performers and arts organizations, while varied in legal content, may revolve around a set of central themes which would be foreign in the contexts of other dispute resolution programs. Recurring themes include the emotional issues involved with the content of artistic work, credit for work performed and the factors contributing to the production of the work.
What type of services does it provide?
AAMS provides counseling, conciliation, mediation, arbitration, neutral evaluation and meeting facilitation. The service has program coordinators at offices in Berkeley 510-990-6030, Los Angeles 310-998-5590 and Sacramento 916-442-6210 who help artists throughout the state. These program coordinators counsel clients in the use of negotiation techniques in order to help them resolve the dispute for themselves, offer conciliation assistance by communicating between parties by telephone, regular mail and fax, coordinate mediations by setting up a meeting at a neutral site with trained mediators or coordinate arbitrations or early neutral evaluations in accordance with the rules of California Code of Civil Procedure and rules created by the AAMS Advisory Committee. However, AAMS program coordinators are neutral and cannot give legal advice or representation.
What kind of disputes does it mediate?
While disputes with AAMS are generally arts-related, the organization's volunteer mediators have helped parties resolve many types of disputes. AAMS has helped parties resolve disputes involving landlord-tenant issues, payment or credit for work performed, ownership of artistic work or copyright, collaboration or partnership issues and fee collection.
Interested in joining our mediation panel?
All prospective panelists must fill out a questionaire which can be down downloaded in Word or PDF format. To join the San Francisco Bay Area panel, please send the questionnaire by fax to 510-201-9957. To join the Sacramento Area panel please send the questionnaire by fax to 916-441-1170 or by email to email@example.com. To join the Southern California Area panel please send the questionnaire by fax to 310-998-5594 or by email to email@example.com.
How are mediation sessions started?
Program coordinators are available to help parties mediate their differences. Most cases are initiated when one party informs AAMS staff of the dispute and asks the coordinator to contact the second party. The program coordinator contacts the second party in order to explain the mediation process and invites him or her to consider it as a method for resolving the dispute. Once the program coordinator obtains the parties' consent to schedule a mediation session, he or she works with them to clarify the issues to be discussed, establishes agreement about who will attend and notifies the parties and mediators as to the date and time of the session. After the mediation session, the coordinator also follows up each party and sends them an evaluation form.
In the Los Angeles office, a good faith effort will be made to accommodate requests for services on evenings and weekends.
How much does it cost?
AAMS mediation fees are determined individually with each party. As AAMS is a nonprofit organization with volunteer involvement, fees are based on a low sliding scale depending on the household income and organization income or budget.

AAMS services provided in Los Angeles County are made possible through major support from the Los Angeles County Department of Community and Senior Services through the California Dispute Resolution Programs Act.
AAMS staff are not available to give legal advice. Also, they cannot review completed arbitration forms for accuracy. If you wish to arrange a consultation with an attorney, you may contact the Lawyer Referral Service of California Lawyers for the Arts at 888-775-8995

Submitted by: WindMade asbl
Categories: Renewable & Alternative Energy, Corporate Social Responsibility
Posted: Jun 24, 2013 – 09:27 AM EST
BRUSSELS, Jun. 24 /CSRwire/ - Today, the WindMade organization launches the first global consumer label for products made with wind energy. This label, which has been eagerly awaited by market participants and consumers alike, completes the WindMade label portfolio.
On the occasion of the label launch, WindMade is calling on consumers to show their support for wind power by participating in the 'Show You Care' campaign. The aim of this campaign is to demonstrate to leading brands that consumers around the world favour products that are manufactured with renewable energy.
A recent global consumer study[1] showed that 73% of consumers around the world would have a more positive perception of a brand if it used wind power as their primary energy source.
"The WindMade product label provides consumers with the transparency they demand, and with a credible and intuitive tool to make informed purchasing decisions," said Henrik Kuffner, WindMade's CEO. "And in addition, it gives companies an instrument to tap into this large pool of environmentally conscious consumers."
"Now it is time for consumers to speak out. We know that they care, and we know that they want to see more companies using wind power. With our campaign, we invite them to actively show their support, and to put pressure on their favourite brands to use this clean, emissions-free energy source for manufacturing our most beloved products," added Angelika Pullen, WindMade's Communications Director, who is managing the campaign.
The WindMade Product Label can be applied to all products using a minimum share of 75% of renewable energy in their total electricity consumption, with wind power representing the largest share. A cradle-to-gate approach was adopted, which means that the label will cover the entire power consumption for all product components, from the extraction of the raw materials all the way to the product leaving the factory gate.
"WWF fully supports this label as a way to recognize companies for their efforts while empowering consumer choice. The cradle-to-gate approach ensures that the label is meaningful, and it makes it robust and credible to consumers," said Susanne Fratzscher, Senior Advisor on Renewable Energy of WWF's Global Climate and Energy Initiative, and a member of WindMade's Technical Committee.
To participate in the campaign, consumers are invited to send in photos of their favourite products to carry the WindMade label, and spreading the word on social networks using the #ShowYouCare hashtag on Twitter and Facebook and sharing the campaign video.
For more information, please visit the campaign website at windmade.org/ShowYouCare.
[1] Global Consumer Wind Study 2012 (Vestas/TNS Gallup), polling 24,000 consumers in 20 countries. See www.energytransparency.com/resources/vestas-report-global-consumer-wind-study-2012.pdf.
About WindMade – see www.windmade.org for more information
WindMade™ is the world's first global consumer label for companies, events and products using wind power. The label is managed by the WindMade non-profit organisation, dedicated to accelerating the adoption of renewable energy by improving companies' ability to communicate their wind energy investments to their stakeholders.
WindMade™ will strive to achieve this by increasing transparency of corporate investments in wind energy, by educating citizens on the implications of using different energy sources, and by empowering consumers to favour corporations who make a real contribution to delivering new wind energy.
About the 'Show You Care' campaign – see www.windmade.org/showyoucare
The 'Show You Care' campaign will run until September 2013, with the aim to generate support for the WindMade label and demonstrate to potential label users that consumers demand products made with wind energy. The campaign consists of the following elements:
About the WindMade Product Label – see www.windmade.org/windmade-standards/product-standard
The WindMade Product Label completes the WindMade label portfolio, which also comprises the Company Label and the Event Label.
The technical requirements behind the Product Label are laid out in the WindMade Standard for Products and Services, which was developed by a Technical Committee consisting of experts from WWF International, Becton, Dickinson & Co., the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), Climate Friendly, the Gold Standard Foundation, and Vestas Wind Systems.

'Huntley threw our daughter in a ditch like a piece of rubbish. But he won't take anything else from our family': The parents of Holly Wells speak out a decade after she was murdered
At 11am on Wednesday, August 21, 2002, Kevin and Nicola Wells visited the shallow Fenland grave where the body of their daughter Holly had just been found alongside that of her friend Jessica Chapman. The girls, both ten, had vanished from the peaceful Cambridgeshire village of Soham a fortnight earlier.
For Kevin this pilgrimage marked the end of hope for Holly's life. It was also, he was wise enough to know, a defining moment in his own. 'The fact is,' he whispered to himself, 'some bastard has thrown my daughter in a ditch as though she were a piece of rubbish.
'But he will not take anything else away from my family. It is time to stand strong. We will not go under.'
'Our star': Holly wells at a party, aged 7. She and her best friend Jessica Chapman were murdered by Ian Huntley in the summer of 2002
The words were a statement of visceral intent. They said that neither he nor Nicola would be petrified for ever by the grief and rage of those terrible days. Ten years later the hard-won happiness of the couple is proof that some promises are too absolute to be broken.
'Time doesn't heal, someone got that wrong,' says Kevin. 'It anaesthetises. Grief does not diminish, but you can manage the intensity and learn to live with it.
'Murder has the capacity to destroy more lives than the one taken. I recognised that from the start, so I tried to take control, to make plans and to exert positive thought.
'I clung to my family, my community, my work, sometimes to God and sometimes to a late-night tumbler of whisky. I chose to believe in the future, a future that I could craft from the life we once had. Really, all I wanted was for us to be the ones who'd make it out the other side.'
His success in this respect is clear. It is there in the easy-going affection between Kevin, 48, and Nicola, 45, and in their uncomplicated relationship with their son Oliver. It is there in their happy home and a summer social calendar crammed with horse racing, cricket and back-garden barbecues. It is there in the endlessly trilling phone of a thriving business.
But it has been extraordinarily tough. Kevin and Nicola's marriage has been tested physically and emotionally; they were on the breadline for a time and even today the sight of them together can stun a restaurant into silence. Above all they both still long to see, smell and hold the lost child they loved beyond measure.
'She was a star, our daughter,' says Kevin, speaking to mark the tenth anniversary of the murders. 'She was the kind of girl who would go to bed with a dictionary so that when I read her Harry Potter she could look up any words that she didn't understand.
Life after Holly: Kevin and Nicola Wells a decade on from losing their little girl
'We believed she would be the first person from either of our families to go to university. Frankly, I expected Holly to be the one to rise above our mediocrity.'
Mediocrity is an unexpected word, but not one he uses pejoratively. He simply means she was to be the arrow from their bow.
Kevin says: 'Losing Holly was excruciating, but I have yet to see anything to persuade me that the mother's loss, Nicola's, is not the greater. They say 95 per cent of the parents of murdered children split up. We were determined to be among the five per cent who survive but for a year, perhaps 18 months, I couldn't reach my wife.
'She was lost in a kind of wilderness whereas I was more hard-line about my emotions. I wrote a diary, which was an honest assessment of everything we went through and it took me to acceptance faster than Nicola. Then I resented her for not catching up.
'For the first five months after Holly died we broke down together, but after that we processed our grief at different speeds. We stopped going to bed at the same time or even sitting down for a meal together. Before then [they were teenage sweethearts] we had never gone to bed on a cross word, but there came a point where Nicola started to go up alone and I would stay downstairs with a tumbler of whisky and my thoughts.
'The physical side of our marriage died. It is the last thing on your mind, you feel in pain, numb, you don't want to express yourself sexually. It was one, almost two years before we found each other again, but grief gives you a different sense of the passage of time and it slipped by unnoticed.
Staying strong: Nicola Wells with her 'fantastic daughter' Holly
'I took great comfort from the letters we received from parents who had also lost a child, to illness or in an accident. They all said their sex lives had ended for a while. It was intimate, yes, but the fact that so many people took the trouble to share that secret, to tell us it was a simple fact of grief, helped hugely. As did their advice, "just hold on . . ." '
He laughs and reaches a hand out to Nicola. 'And then when the time is right you both know and you have a romantic night out, a bottle of wine and a cuddle and cross that bridge. And once it is crossed it is really not an issue any more.
'Eventually, hard work and routine turned us around. Nicola found her joie de vivre and the woman I fell in love with returned to me. Slowly but surely we came back together as a couple, thank goodness.'
They had been together for 20 happy years when Holly was murdered. It was this shared life, underpinned by a shared understanding of what else murderer Ian Huntley might take from them, which made their relationship robust enough to withstand a crime that destroys most marriages.
As part of their recovery the couple investigated the possibility of adopting or fostering another child.
Says Nicola: 'We had a nice house, plenty of room but, most of all, lots of love to give. We slept on it for a long time, six months, and researched it online – we felt we were still young enough to raise another child.
decided we could not adopt a girl, it would have felt too much like
trying to replace Holly. We would have chosen a boy, but even so, it
seemed like too great a demand for any child to step into the shoes of
such a fantastic daughter.
The last picture: This photograph of Holly with Jessica - posing in their Manchester United football shirts - was taken shortly before they went missing
Guilty: Convicted killer Ian Huntley, left, and his then girlfriend Maxine Carr, right, who now has a secret identity
As for fostering, I realised I could not face handing over a child I had come to love because I just could not bear any more loss.
'In the end we revisited the plans we'd made at the very start of our married life, which was to have two children and to have them early so we could be young parents. We decided we should stick to them, despite losing Holly because, well, that's us.
'Oliver has recently moved in with his girlfriend, so we hope we may be young grandparents soon enough.'
Kevin and Nicola's parenting of Oliver into adulthood is one of their greatest comforts and consolations. He was just 12 when Holly was killed.
'She loved her big brother,' says Kevin. 'I swear the only time his homework was in on time was when she did it for him.'
On the night Holly disappeared, August
4, 2002, Oliver went out on his bike with the adults hunting for her
and then lived, second by second, the horror of the next two weeks.
On holiday: A six-year-old Holly in Gran Canaria
Later, during Huntley's Old Bailey trial, at which the killer claimed
Holly had died from toppling accidentally into the bath as he tended to
her nosebleed, Oliver conducted secret experiments in the bathroom at
home to prove it was impossible.
Says Nicola: 'Despite us trying to be positive and resourceful, Oliver was extremely withdrawn in the years that followed Holly's murder. Huntley took his childhood and his innocence too. All he knew was that his sister had gone and his parents couldn't necessarily keep him safe.
'We always told our children that if they were scared or in trouble to run to family, friends, a policeman or a teacher. Huntley was the school caretaker; he lived with Maxine Carr, Holly's classroom teaching assistant, whom she adored.
'You want to wrap your surviving child in cotton wool after that, but you can't, you can't burden them. There has to be normality.'
'Nicola was soft on him,' offers Kevin, rolling his eyes at his wife.
'Ah, but he's a lovely boy,' she defends. What they agree on is that even amid their grief, and with every second feeling like a betrayal of Holly's memory, they still had a young son who needed two united parents and things to look forward to.
At the close of Huntley's trial they took Oliver to New Zealand and tried to 'unlock' him, as they put it, with some high-adrenaline treats. To this end they took him go-karting, jet boating, quad biking, pony trekking, bodyboarding and did a bungee-style jump. And then an adult and two children died in a swimming accident on the beach next to them.
'It was hard,' says Kevin with some understatement, 'knowing as parents quite what to do next.'
What succeeded was something far more mundane. At the age of 16 Oliver went to work in Kevin's contract cleaning business and for two years father and son 'went up ladders and chit-chatted about life until it felt OK again'.
That business was
one started from scratch in 2005. Kevin was forced to sell his original
window-cleaning company at a loss in 2003 to devote himself to Huntley
and Carr's forthcoming trial and the subsequent Bichard Inquiry into
Britain's child-protection procedures.
The family survived on Nicola's salary as a legal secretary, by re-mortgaging their house and by accepting a £6,000 charity hand-out to pay their bills. For a man with a work ethic as powerful as Kevin's it was a difficult time.
Says Kevin: 'I got going again, I bought some rounds off other window cleaners, I did a lot of door-knocking and leafleting, but we went from being comfortable to being financially stretched for a while. You don't think about it for days, weeks, months, but then there comes a time when you realise you have to put food on the table.
'Getting back to work was not just about money in the bank, it was also about what it represented – an everyday life, a familiar pattern, some kind of control.'
There were many things the couple could not control, chief among them the global attention they received when they enlisted the help of the media in the fortnight the girls were missing, presumed alive.
It opened a kind of Pandora's box, leaving the Wells family with a public profile they have never been able to escape. It almost goes without saying their details were in the notebooks of shamed News of the World private investigator Glenn Mulcaire – although there is no evidence their phones were hacked.

Precious memories: Holly, aged five, on her bike at home. Her parents described her as their 'star'
They also suffered from abusive phone calls and letters claiming, for example, that Holly deserved to die for 'playing out on the Sabbath' and were the victims of internet trolls who offered fake versions of the girls' famous red Manchester United football shirts as competition prizes.
Prior to Holly's death Kevin had appeared once in his local paper for throwing a wet sponge at the vicar at a church fete. Ten years after the Soham killings, with his shaven head and intensely blue eyes, he remains instantly recognisable to a generation of parents who spent two weeks in August 2002 willing Holly and Jessica to be found alive. Just last summer on holiday in Rhodes they silenced a restaurant.
Kevin says: 'The hotel was filled with British couples just like us. They would have followed Holly's story and spent that summer thinking, "There but for the grace of God go I." We don't find their silence hurtful, but it means Nicola and I have to appear engrossed in each other or stare at our feet and the menu for ten minutes.
'On the plane on the way out a woman spent an hour saying, "I know I know you, but I can't think where from." Eventually I simply said, "We're from Soham" and then she burst into tears.
'So we can still put gaps in an airport queue or clear a space around sun loungers. We are the only British people who seek out German tourists on holiday because they don't recognise us . . . ' he guffaws.
'Look, we were a fun family, we are still a fun family, and sometimes it was our sense of humour which kept us going.'
I am reminded about his visit to Cambridgeshire police's operations room at the height of the hunt for Holly. Officers were demonstrating the logging of intelligence gleaned from the torrent of calls from the public and, as Kevin leaned in to inspect the equipment, the words 'The Dad did it,' scrolled across the computer screen, followed by 'Check his shed'. Can you laugh about that now? I ask.

Best of friends: Holly with brother Oliver in December 2000. Kevin said they were a fun family
'I did then,' he says. 'Because it was funny. Look, murder embarrasses people terribly. But often they know just what to do. Last year at the races a man in a topper tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Mr Wells, isn't it?" I thought he must be a client, but when I said yes he took me in his arms, cuddled me into his chest and walked away.
'I don't think too deeply about whether he was meeting his own needs or mine. I just accept human kindness as the balance to the evil we have known in our lives.'
It is good to hear him describe Holly's murder in those terms, as a random act of wickedness. Ten years ago he profoundly felt he had failed to keep his daughter safe and even wrote a letter apologising to her which he placed inside her coffin. It was surely a path to madness. So he doesn't feel that way now?
'No, of course I don't. Holly had boundaries that were appropriate to a ten-year-old girl on a light night in a peaceful English village. She was within one minute's bike ride from her home, she was with a friend. She thought she was going to see Miss Carr, her classroom assistant.
'The failure is that of police intelligence and of society for permitting Huntley the freedom to prey on children. Today I accept there was nothing more or different as a parent that I could have done to change the outcome.'
What Kevin and Nicola have done however, is to help create a legal legacy that will protect other people's children. Kevin devoted a year of his life to assisting the Bichard Inquiry, which was set up in the wake of the Soham killings.
It resulted in investment in the Police National Computer and created a national IT system for forces in England and Wales. It drew up a register of people working with children or vulnerable adults and added a demand for enhanced disclosure on all those seeking to work in schools.

It codified good practice for the recording and keeping of records by police forces. In this way a man such as Huntley, with several allegations of burglary, underage sex and rape against him – none of which had ever resulted in a conviction – would never have been allowed to hold down a job as a school caretaker.
The recommendations of the 2004 inquiry are coming to fruition at present, much to the delight of the Wells family.
'We see it as a line in the sand. It is a good way for us to sign off,' says Kevin. 'It makes it far harder for people like Huntley to slip through the net, we cannot change our parenting but maybe we have changed society.'
Bichard exhausted him and added to the extraordinary strain of Huntley and Carr's 2003 trial. But in its intellectual rigour and its practicalities, Kevin found solace. The same urgent need to help and protect others also led him to a charity, Grief Encounter, for whom he became a patron in 2004. The charity supports bereaved children and this year alone he has raised £15,000 for it by running the London Marathon.
Says Kevin: 'We believe profoundly in their work. Even though it is a children's charity it taught Nicola and me a great deal about the evolution of grief.'
The couple's work for the inquiry and the charity has been done without them speaking publicly. Indeed, they have not given an interview since Huntley was jailed and are doing so now only to ensure their voices are heard amid the cacophony of comment which will mark the tenth anniversary of the girls' murders.
They are facing next month with trepidation. 'It gives rise to questions about all that Holly might have been by now,' says Kevin. 'I will never walk a daughter down the aisle, never see her off to another life, she will remain as she was a decade ago.
'We think about the things she'll never know; sitting her driving test, attending her school prom, her 21st birthday. It's a lifetime of loss'
'We think about the things she'll never know, sitting her driving test, attending her school prom, her 21st birthday, it's a lifetime of loss. One of Holly's closest friends is already a mother which gives us pause for thought.'
Nicola is more emotional. The question: 'What do you miss most about Holly?' brings instant tears.
'The busyness of her,' she says softly. 'The music and dancing and drawing, the reading, the homework, the friends, the Brownies, the Majorettes. I used to grind my teeth at the hours I spent driving her to activities. Now I long to be able to do it.'
And how does she feel about the fact that Maxine Carr has become a mother herself since being released from jail?
'I don't think about her. We do not speak her name – or his – in this house. My only thought would be that perhaps now she has had a baby she has a fuller understanding of the bond between mother and child and can reflect with more emotional subtlety on what she did. But whatever the crime of Maxine Carr, her child is innocent.'
The couple do not permit themselves to be distressed by stories chronicling Huntley's life behind bars or the regular letters from well-meaning members of the public saying Maxine Carr has moved into their neighbourhood. 'They write to say they've seen her in Homebase,' says Kevin.
It is the inconsequential things that trip them up. The sound of Holly's favourite Robbie Williams song Angels on the radio is one, as is the sight of a mother and daughter browsing for clothes. Bureaucracy, too, has the power to wound.
When Nicola sent off her passport to have her daughter's name removed she expected it to be re-issued. Instead, the original was returned with the words Holly Marie Wells crossed out in black felt tip.
In 2006 they did choose to move house, although their new home is just five minutes from their old one. Holly is still present. By the front door grows a Soham Rose bush – a pearl-pink flower specially grown by a Hertfordshire nursery in memory of Holly and Jessica. In the hallway stands an iron bench with her name wrought in gold. A dining-room cabinet contains an assortment of photographs, trinkets and artwork, the treasured fragments of an unfinished childhood.
It also holds a tiny enamel box bearing Holly's name in which forensic officers placed a lock of blonde hair salvaged from her burnt body.
It says everything about the resilience of Kevin and Nicola that they are now planning to move back into the house where they raised their beloved daughter. They never sold it, just rented it out, an act of faith in the future – and another example of achieving Kevin's heartfelt desire 'to make it out the other side'.
They have even made peace with the two great unanswered questions of the Soham murders: how Holly and Jessica died, and why.
But there is one thing that still hurts and it is the iconic image of the crime, the picture of the girls in their matching Manchester United football shirts standing beneath a ticking clock. It was taken by Nicola at 5.04pm when the girls had maybe an hour-and-a-half left to live.
Says Nicola: 'The police asked for an up-to-date shot and here was one that was just hours old. Then it became the symbol of the Soham murders and it still accompanies stories about Huntley in prison and Maxine Carr having a child. It is our last picture of our daughter, yet it represents something evil – that is exquisitely painful. We would love to reclaim that image for ourselves.
'Being unable to do so is, I think, the one last thing we have to deal with . . . ' she looks at Kevin and he concurs.
Halfway through the hunt for Holly, Kevin asked rhetorically in his diary what the outcome would be. 'Everything', he wrote, 'is dwarfed by loss, unfairness, grief and confusion.'
Ten years on from the tragedy of Soham, those painful sentiments are unalterably part of Kevin and Nicola Wells. But in the manner of their living after the death of their daughter they have proved that it is possible for hope, decency, love and courage to prevail. Theirs is a powerful advocacy for life.
Soham: A Parents' Tale will be screened on ITV1 on Friday, August 3 at 9pm. Goodbye, Dearest Holly – Ten Years On by Kevin Wells will be published as an ebook available only from Amazon on August 3.

Production on Will Ferrell's latest comedy He's F**king Perfect has stalled due to scheduling issues.
Les Miserables star Amanda Seyfried was cast in the film late last year (Dec13) after Emma Stone dropped out, but now the troubled project has been shelved indefinitely because the actress and co-star Rebel Wilson are preparing to shoot sequels to Ted and Pitch Perfect, respectively.
A source tells the New York Post, "(Moviemakers are) unsure whether the project will come back together with the same cast."
The film centers upon a woman who helps her friends find love online.

Storage company, Manchester developer blame each other for lead contamination on West SideBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 18. 2014 9:12PM
MANCHESTER — A company that leases storage units on the West Side has stopped renting to new customers over fears of possible lead contamination and wants its landlord, Brady Sullivan Properties, to pay for any cleanups.
Extra Space Storage has posted signs at the property it leases at Mill West, the sprawling mill complex that includes apartments that Brady Sullivan has started to rent out. The signs read that high levels of lead were recently detected in dust, which it attributed to the construction activities of Brady Sullivan.
The contamination pits a national company with locations in 37 states against one of the largest developers in Manchester. Neither has taken responsibility for the contamination, and each point to the other as being responsible.
"We are currently demanding cleanup and remediation by the landlord who is disclaiming responsibility (other than common areas)," wrote Extra Space spokesman Clint Halverson in an email last week.
Halverson noted on Tuesday that Brady Sullivan will meet with Extra Space in a walk-through, but he doesn't know what will happen.
Meanwhile, Brady Sullivan's lawyer, Marc Pinard, said the company followed all EPA rules when it rehabilitated the mill, but he acknowledged the rules are lax when it comes to work in commercial property, such as storage units.
Pinard said Extra Space had leased the Mill West space before Brady Sullivan purchased the building.
"They took possession of it with lead contamination in there, and they have never chosen to abate the lead in that space," Pinard said.
Brady Sullivan hopes to eventually get control of the Extra Space area and covert it to apartments, but the storage-unit company has three more years on its lease, he said.
Halverson said Extra Space encourages its customers to have their belongings cleaned at company expense when they vacate their storage units. And Extra Space will not rent any of its 524 units until the issue is resolved.
It tested for lead and found varying levels throughout its space. More tests are scheduled for this week, Halverson said.
"Even though we are a commercial property, we tested residential levels knowing that most items would be taken into residential settings once removed from storage. Levels varied, with many units below acceptable residential levels," Halverson wrote last week.
The contamination — which was brought to the attention of Extra Space and the New Hampshire Union Leader by a storage space customer — has exposed a loophole in federal laws dealing with lead hazards.
The EPA enforces tough regulations to prevent contamination of small children who live in homes built before 1978, when the EPA banned the sale of lead paint. But the regulations do not apply to commercial buildings, and the Extra Space Storage area is a commercial activity, even though many units are leased to store household materials.
The contamination that brought the problem to light was found on belongings stored beneath a window that had been installed in the building as part of the renovation work. Although Extra Space uses metal doors and sides in its storage units, the roof is mere chicken wire.
Pinard stressed that apartments, which are located on the third and fourth floors above Extra Space, are safe from lead contamination, and the company followed all proper regulations when it renovated the area for apartments.
He said Brady Sullivan met with the EPA over the contamination, and the agency was satisfied that the work Brady Sullivan did at Mill West followed EPA regulations. EPA spokesman Dave Deegan said the agency did an office inspection last month but has not finalized its findings.

Traction on Bermudagrass
Rotational Traction Values on Bermudagrass
The following list contains rotational traction values of various shoes tested on bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) grown on a sand-based rootzone and mowed at 0.5 inches. The cultivar of bermudagrass was Riviera and the turf coverage was 100%.
The colors in the table below represent each shoe's traction value relative to the other shoes tested on bermudagrass, with red being the highest and green being the lowest.
It is important to note the HSD (Honestly Significant Difference) value at the bottom of the table. This number is determined via statistical testing and is used when comparing traction values. Traction values that are within the HSD value are not statistically different.

|Under Armour Nitro Select Low MC
|adidas adiZero 5-Star 6.0
|Nike Alpha Sensory Turf

Previously Tested Shoes
*HSD: Tukey Honestly Significant Difference Test. Traction means within the value listed are not statistically different from one another.
Interpretation of Results
Rotational traction measured with mechanical devices such as Pennfoot allow for comparisons among shoe-types and playing surfaces; however, 'safe' and 'unsafe' traction levels have not been established in the scientific community, as this type of data has not been directly correlated with injury risk. Although researchers have yet to establish 'safe' threshold levels, it is generally accepted that low levels of rotational traction are desired over high levels from a lower extremity injury risk standpoint (Lambson et al., 1996). However, if traction is too low, playability may be reduced as athletes may be prone to slipping, thus increasing potential for other types of injuries.
Rotational traction values are presented in Newton-meters (Nm), which is the standard rotational traction unit (ASTM, 2009).
Traction data (four measurements per each shoe-surface combination) were analyzed for each playing surface using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Tukey's Honestly Significant Differences (HSD) test was used for means separation at the alpha = 0.05 level. It is important to note that traction values within the HSD value listed are not statistically different from one another.

SOURCE: Diagenode
March 01, 2011 15:33 ET
LIEGE, BELGIUM--(Marketwire - March 1, 2011) - Diagenode SA announced today that the Bioruptor® sonicator has been selected for the validated shotgun library preparation workflow of the Ion Torrent PGM sequencer.
As part of Ion Torrent's goal to create a simple, efficient and cost-effective workflow to allow almost every researcher access to sequencing, Ion Torrent has surrounded the core PGM™ platform with an ecosystem of world-class upstream and downstream technologies. The Bioruptor® sonicator was selected for shearing DNA in the PGM™ shotgun library preparation because of its ability to create a highly-reproducible, narrow fragment size distribution while retaining dsDNA integrity.
"While the Bioruptor sonicator has been recognized in several dozen journals for DNA shearing using multiple next generation sequencing platforms, the selection as part of the validated workflow for the PGM™ System represents a major step forward in the recognition of the Bioruptor® sonicator as a cost-effective, highly reproducible and reliable solution," said Didier Allaer, CEO and Founder of Diagenode SA.
The proprietary Bioruptor® process enables higher recoveries for nucleic acid extraction, chromatin shearing, protein digestion, and cell lysis along with true parallel multiple sample preparation when compared with other shearing and sonication systems available in the market. Developments made by Diagenode and the epigenetic and sequencing communities have focused on increasing the ease and consistency of sample preparation.
Workflows have become standardized using the Bioruptor® for both DNA and chromatin shearing upstream of next generation sequencing and other epigenetic experiments. "The Bioruptor's ease of use, throughput capabilities, and flexibility has enabled the system to be widely used across different biological disciplines most recently embraced by the next generation sequencing community," said Dr. Dominique Poncelet, Head of R&D at Diagenode.

One person was killed and four others injured in a steam explosion at a northwest Indiana steel mill, officials said.
The Thursday night explosion about 7 p.m. at Beta Steel, 6500 S. Boundary Rd., was the second explosion at the Portage facility since November, when eight workers were injured.
Water mixing with molten slag in one of the mill's furnaces caused the explosion, Portage Mayor Olga Velazquez said. Four workers were taken to area hospitals, two with serious burn injuries, she said.

A 3D printer that can print human flesh in order to replace injured or diseased tissue has been demonstrated by scientists at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Centre in North Carolina.
Ear, bone and muscle structures that were printed by the machine and implanted into animals have subsequently matured into functional tissue and developed a system of blood vessels.
Although 3D printing has been used for medical purposes in the past, such as 3D-printed hip replacements, these used materials, such as metal, that are more traditionally used for bone replacements rather than tissue.
However, the new 3D printer is capable of producing fleshy structures. Dubbed the Integrated Tissue and Organ Printing System, it has been in development for 10 years.
The system deposits both bio-degradable, plastic-like materials to form the tissue 'shape' and water-based gels that contain cells.
In addition, a strong, temporary outer structure is formed. The printing process does not harm the cells.
The team said that one of the major challenges of tissue engineering was ensuring that implanted structures live long enough to integrate with the body.
In order to achieve this, they optimised the water-based 'ink' that holds the cells so that it promotes cell health and growth and they printed a lattice of micro-channels throughout the structures.
These channels allow nutrients and oxygen from the body to diffuse into the structures and keep them alive while they develop a system of blood vessels.
The technology was shown to work after test structures were implanted in rats and the structure was maintained two months later with cartilage tissue and blood vessels forming.
Printed muscle tissue was also implanted and tests confirmed that the muscle was robust enough to maintain its structural characteristics, become vascularised and induce nerve formation.
Jaw bone fragments were also printed using human stem cells, which after five months performed similarly well in the bodies of the rats.
"This novel tissue and organ printer is an important advance in our quest to make replacement tissue for patients," said Anthony Atala, director of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine and senior author on the study. "It can fabricate stable, human-scale tissue of any shape. With further development, this technology could potentially be used to print living tissue and organ structures for surgical implantation."
With funding from the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine, a federally funded effort to apply regenerative medicine to battlefield injuries, Atala's team aims to implant bioprinted muscle, cartilage and bone in patients in the future.

Royal Caribbean Liberty of the Seas, July 9, 2010: Cozumel
Day 6 – July 9, 2010- Cozumel
The ship was not due to arrive to port until around 11:00am, and our excursion time was 11:30am, so no room service was necessary. Got up around 9am and worked for a bit and finally headed to Windjammer for breakfast. It really was jammed (pun intended) and tables were hard to find. We decided that a couple of dollars for a room service tip was well worth it to avoid the hassle.
We got off the ship around 11:20am and found our excursion. I had booked the dolphin push/pull/swim at Chankanaab Nature Park which was only about 10 minute away from the pier. We previously did this in 2007 on our own and just did a taxi to get up there and back. Only reason I booked it with the cruise line was because it included transportation which was flexible after the activity and was the same price as if I booked on my own. Another water excursion, and weather was rainy, so no photos.
Got to the park and had our briefings. There were guys passing out iguanas in the waiting area and Suzanne held one and as I reached for my camera the guy said "a picture will cost you five dollars." Sorry, but I'm not paying you five bucks for a photo with an iguana. Always trying to make money off of tourists. (Some people actually paid it.)
Once the whole group arrived we were escorted in and stowed our things in lockers, given life vests and we entered the dolphin area. The entire encounter was about 30 minutes and included a kiss, hug, flipper hold and a push. Was pretty cool. OK, so dolphins are mammals and wild creatures and should not be in pens for the amusement of humans… I try to skip all of that stuff when I'm having fun.
After the dolphin encounter we were moved to another pen and were introduced to a Manatee. I knew manatees were in fresh water in Florida but had no idea they were in salt water in Mexico. They are as endangered in Mexico as they are in the States. We lined up again on a platform and the handler brought the manatee past us to touch. Apparently they are "trainable" and our four year old manatee was able to "smile" and wave. It was pretty cool to touch one of these ancient creatures.
Weather was pretty iffy with thunder and lightning in the distance so I figured no snorkeling or swimming. We walked around the park for a bit as the last time I was there was in 2007 and they still had a lot of construction. Chankanaab is really a nice place to be with food and beverages too. We were a little hungry so we stopped at a bar for some food. For $8.50 you have a choice of an entrée with beer or soda. The server kept trying to give Suzanne a beer despite her best attempt to order diet Coke. They really do not care how hold someone is for alcohol in Mexico, and since she looks older than she is I don't think there would have been any problems with her drinking. Fortunately we didn't have to test out this theory. Suzanne ordered a hamburger until I pointed out that we were in Mexico and could get "real" Mexican food, so she had a quesadilla with diet coke. I ordered flank steak tacos and a Dos Equuis. Our food was really good, and I think it was the best meal we've had on the entire trip. My beef was really tender and the guacamole was just wonderful. We also got some fresh pico de gallo and black beans and a couple of tortilla chips (homemade of course.) Cost was $18 ($9/plate) and I gave his $3 for a tip. We headed towards the taxi area and were grouped with another family and sent back to the ship.
At the pier we changed taxis and went downtown for the cost of $7. Another couple joined us for the cab and we were dropped off at Forum Shops by the Punta Langosta pier. (There are three piers in Cozumel and we were at the International Pier with three other ships.) Shopping in Cozumel is typical cruise port stuff but I needed to buy some Mexican vanilla and I wanted to get some gee gaws too.
Vendors had a good day with four ships in town and prices were higher than what I wanted to pay, so rather than deal with the hassle I decided to go back to the ship and try cruise port shopping (which usually is higher priced.) At the port Suzanne bought a little purse which was $2 more after haggling than what I found by Punta Langosta, but I found vanilla for much less. We were back on the ship by 4:15pm or so. It was really hot and humid and we were tired and sweaty. We really need showers.
Dinner tonight was at Chops Grille, which is the extra charge steakhouse on Royal Caribbean International. It was excellent—and I would eat there every night if I had appropriately budgeted. We both had filet mignon and sides were served ala carte. We ordered one baked potato to share as it probably weighed a pound, some steamed asparagus and baby bok choy. It all was excellent but we had leftover potato and bok choy. For dessert Suzanne had an apple pie thing which was divine and I had a fruit mousse thing—which was also excellent. The $25 per person extra charge was "worth it" in my opinion and should not be missed. My next RCCL may have me in Chops Grille every night, service charge and all.
After dinner we changed clothes and went to the production show in the Platinum Theatre. There was only one show at 7:45pm and it was poorly attended. I think the shows on this don't have many people go to them because there are just so many activities on this ship. The performers are really quite good. This show was again somewhat artsy but they do a lot of contemporary songs so it was relatively easy to follow. When the show was over I went to the jewelry store to pick up my watch (had links removed from the band) and then I went upstairs to my stateroom. We were getting into some bumpy waves and it was windy so ship movement was picking up. Originally I thought about doing tequila tasting at 10pm but did not have anyone around to haul me upstairs and I can't drink alcohol with a lot of ship movement so I skipped it. Suzanne went off to meet her friends.
Watched a Sandra Bullock movie ( The Proposal?) and was in bed by 1am. Sea day tomorrow, and back in port early on Sunday morning. Boo hoo…
