Dear Amelia,
Just do me one solid. I cant believe I started off a letter with the word 'solid.' I sound like effing George Costanza. Pathetic. Let's revamp.
Just do me one favor. There, that's much better. Please tell me you stopped seeing me for a reason OTHER than me kicking your ass at bowling. I know, I know…you talked a ton of crap going into our second, and presumably final, date; while I played the whole "but it's been seven years since I've bowled, you are going to totally emasculate me, yada yada yada" card. And then, after one sub-par comeback game, where you did indeed score higher than me, I thoroughly destroyed you thereafter.
I'd like to think that I didn't blow a chance with a great girl because my ego got the better of me and I beat her at bowling. If that is the case, we wouldn't have worked out anyway. It isn't really in me to do shit like that, and if you expected me to do that, you weren't the girl I thought you were.
But, since then…nada, nothing, zilch. Even though you told a mutual friend that you, 'had a blast…can't wait to hang out again,' you came up with a few lame excuses the next few times I tried getting together with you (seriously, you can visit your Grandmother ANYTIME – I'm just kidding, that's not really lame…it's actually kind of adorable), and as a result I threw out this text, "Ok no worries, let me know if you'd like to hang out again," or something along those lines. Predictably, I haven't heard from you since. It's been two weeks, I doubt that I will.
I don't think it's because of the bowling. I think it's because this was a match.com thing, and because you are a normal human being, you most likely were going on quite a few dates in addition to ours, and simply found someone you liked more. As much as I'd like to, I can't really begrudge you that. I simply don't have that bone in my body though, or that gene in my DNA. I don't know how to properly 'date.' You and I went out a couple times, I think it's safe to say we enjoyed each others company…therefore I have no interest in going on dates with other females. It seems like I'd be doing it under false pretenses. Would I perhaps make out with a girl on a dancefloor whilst inebriated on a Saturday night? Of course I would. But I wouldn't take her out to dinner that week…I'd rather see what kind of potential there is with you.
I'm pretty sure this area of conversation has come up in previous letters…which just proves this series of letters is pointless, since clearly I'm not learning from my mistakes. Unless of course, this had nothing to do with you dating multiple people at once and finding a better match (see what I did there?), and has everything to do with me making you my biatch at the bowling alley.

Chuy's Holdings (NASDAQ:CHUY) may be the perfect example of a great company but a lousy stock, unless it gets cheaper. It has an average market cap that's 10-15 times higher on a per-restaurant basis compared to Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG). Either Chuy's stock price needs to fall or its growth rate needs to accelerate if this fresh-Mex chain will make the same type of returns that Chipotle Mexican Grill investors have enjoyed.
Chew on these results
On Feb. 27, Chuy's Holdings reported fiscal fourth-quarter financial results. On a similar calendar comparison basis, revenue jumped 17%. The company estimates it would have been an 18% increase, but revenue was reduced by $500,000 due to the negative effects of an ice storm. Same-store sales climbed 3%. Adjusted net income per share soared around 30% to $0.15.
CEO Steve Hislop said, "The ongoing momentum of our results is a testament to the distinctiveness of our brand and the hard work of our entire team." Hislop mentioned that Chuy's plans to open between 10-11 new restaurants in 2014 to hit its target growth of 20%. Twenty percent isn't bad; but with only 50 restaurants to start, any growth would show strong percentage numbers. Still, Chuy's must start somewhere.
The company is calling for adjusted earnings per share of between $0.81 and $0.84 for 2014, or growth of between 17% and 21%. Same-store sales are expected to grow between 1.5% and 2%.
These numbers are OK, but they're nothing to write home about, especially for such a small chain. You're kind of left wanting more in the way of growth. This is even truer considering such a large market cap of nearly $700 million, which values each of the 50 restaurants at nearly $14 million. True, the market is a forward-looking machine, but it seems like it's pricing many years of aggressive and successful growth into the stock already.
Wrapping up Chipotle
Compare the market value of Chuy's Holdings' 50 restaurants to the 1,700-plus Chipotle Mexican Grill locations. While each Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurant is not a full-service location, a margarita-serving restaurant like Chuy's is, and each Chuy's is valued at 14 times the value of each Chipotle's based on market cap. On average, each Chuy's has more than double the sales and net income so a higher value make sense, but 14 times seems overpriced..
Last quarter, Chipotle Mexican Grill's revenue leaped 21%. Same-store sales jumped 9%, while net income zoomed 30%. All of these percentage figures met or beat the percentage growth numbers of Chuy's despite Chipotle's much larger size.
Chipotle is only expecting to add between 10%-12% to its location number next year compared to Chuy's; but once again Chipotle expects much faster same-store sales growth.
Given all of this, does Chuy's deserve to trade with a P/E in the 40's just like Chipotle Mexican Grill? Perhaps a strong case can be made that neither one does.
Foolish final thoughts
Chuy's caters to a segment of the economy that is hurting a bit more than the fast-casual dining industry. Fast casual is growing in popularity, and it is the market segment that Chipotle Mexican Grill serves.
If the economy picks up, Chuy's may eventually end up being the better value. It would be nice to see its same-store sales growth pick up the pace or its unit-growth plans kick into higher gear in 2015.
Fools should watch this small chain's unit expansion progress closely as well as its stock price. In a perfect world, there will be a cheaper entry and faster restaurant unit expansion plans unveiled later this year.

By Albert Haim
It is well-known that, following the release of the Wolverine's records, Bix's genius as a cornetist and jazz innovator became widely known among musicians. Bix's reputation was further enhanced when his February 4, 1927 recording of Singin' the Blues became available. Chauncey Morehouse, the drummer in the 1926-1927 Jean Goldkette Victor Recording Orchestra stated,(see Bix: Mand and Legend by Richard Sudhalter and Philip Evans) You couldnt go anywhere in New York without hearing some guy trying to play like Bix. They copied his tone, his attack, his figures. Some guys tried to take his stuff right off the records. Others just came and listened. It was amazing.Four yeas after the recording was made, Bix's legendary solo in Singin' the Blues was copied almost note for note by Rex Stewart in the two 1931 recordings of the tune by Fletcher Hendersons orchestra. According to Richard Sudhalter in Lost Chords, Bill Challis arranging Singin the Blues for Paul Whitemans Orchestra in 1928, scored Trumbauers chorus for the entire reed section. It got the same treatment on Fletcher Hendersons two performances of the piece: the reeds play Trumbauer together, before Rex Stewart renders Bixs equally famed thirty-two bars as a solo in the inflections and accents of his own style. It was the first time such homage had been delivered in so complete a fashion.
The seminal importance and impact of the Bix and Tram 1927 recording of "Singin' the Blues" are well documented. What is not widely known is that some of Bix's solos from his first three recording sessions with the Wolverine Orchestra were also widely copied. In this article, I will describe the circumstances surrounding this rather astonishing phenomenon.
Jazz Me Blues.
On February 18, 1924, at 3:30 A.M., eight musicians, one of them Leon Bix Beiderbecke, left Cincinnati, Ohio and drove about 70 miles to Richmond, Indiana, the location of the Starr Piano Company's Gennett recording studio. The Gennett Record Division of the Starr Piano Company has been referred to as The Cradle of Recorded Jazz. Indeed, it was. The New Orleans Rhythm Kings made their first recordings in 1922 and were followed in 1923 by Jelly Roll Morton and by King Oliver's Jazz Band with Louis Armstrong. The Wolverines began recording in February 1924. Pianist Dick Voynow and clarinetist Jimmy Hartwell had purchased a day's recording. It was not unusual, at that time, for musicians to pay to record their numbers. Recordings were generally viewed by musicians as a way of promoting the bands for their live appearances rather than as sources of income. There were exceptions, of course, notably Paul Whitemans orchestra whose record sales numbered in the millions.
On that particular day, the Wolverines cut four sides, but only two were mastered and released, Fidgety Feet and Jazz Me Blues. The latter includes a 20-bar chorus by twenty-year-old Bix. It is a masterful, geometric construction known as a correlated chorus. First two measures are played; these are followed by two more measures, related to the first two; then, four measures, related to the first four, follow, etc. Bix makes use of triplets and rhythmic delays in his solo, characteristic features of a style he will develop further as he matured. In discussing this solo, Randy Sandke writes [see Bix Beiderbecke From a Musician's Perspective in Annual Review of Jazz Studies] The overall impression we get from the solo, as in all of Bix at his best, is that every note is spontaneous, yet inevitable.
Four months later, on June 26, 1924, George Olsen and His Orchestra recorded You'll Never Get to Heaven With Those Eyes. In this record, Red Nichols plays a solo identical to the one played by Bix in the Wolverine's Jazz Me Blues. The note-for-note transcription was prepared by Eddie Kilfeather, pianist and arranger with Olsen from 1924 until about 1929.Kilfeather told Red that the solo he had given him for the Olsen recording of You'll Never Get to Heaven with Those Eyes was Bix's solo from Jazz Me Blues. Red was highly intrigued by Bix's solo. Early in July 1924, on his way to Michigan to join Dick Bowen and His Blue Streak Orchestra of New York, Red took a detour to see the Wolverines in Eastern Indiana. This was the first time that Red and Bix met. Their friendship lasted until Bix died, seven years later. As a matter of fact, two days before he died, Bix called Red Nichols and talked at length with Bobbi, Reds wife. The meeting between Red and Bix early in July 1924, a few days after Bix had recorded Tiger Rag with the Wolverines is important, as we will see later, to solve the puzzle as to how Bix's solo from Tiger Rag came to be copied on numerous recordings of the tune.
Brian Rust, the noted jazz discographer/historian, ranks Charlie Davis composition Copenhagen among the top ten of his favorite jazz numbers. The first and last recordings of Copenhagen are from May 6, 1924 (The Wolverine Orchestra) and November 7, 2000 (Rob Fisher and The Coffee Club Orchestra in the album Shaking the Blues Away), respectively. In between these dates, hundreds of recordings of the number have been released. Some of the jazz musicians/bands who recorded Copenhagen are Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, Bud Freeman, Fletcher Henderson, Earl Hines, Kid Ory, Artie Shaw, The Dorsey Brothers Orchestra, The Casa Loma Orchestra. The late 1949 hit Music! Music! Music! by Theresa Brewer has Copenhagen on the flipside.The song Copenhagen was inducted into the Jazz Hall of Fame.
Copenhagen was recorded by the Wolverine Orchestra on May 6, 1924. A few weeks earlier, on April 1, 1924, the band had had an audition to play as the house band at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. Unfortunately for the Wolverines, their audition was unsuccessful. They hung around Indianapolis for a while, waiting for a job they had arranged at Indiana University. On April 5, 1925, they attended the opening of Charlie Davis and His Orchestra at the Ohio Theatre. One of the numbers played by the band was Davis' own composition Copenhagen. Davis told Phil Evans [see Bix, The Leon Beiderbecke Story by Philip Evans and Linda Evans] the reaction of the Wolverines, The boys came in to catch our band, and when they heard us play Copenhagen, the whispers could be heard clear out to the box office. Bix yelled, What is that? and Jimmy Hartwell added, Hey, do it one more time. Charlie Davis, in his autobiography The Jazz State of Indiana, writes Bix Beiderbecke said he was fascinated with the ride rhythm of the piece and wondered if his group might take it over to Richmond where they had a recording date at Genet [sic]. Sure, take it along do anything. The Wolverines played a few gigs in Indiana for the next few weeks, Indianapolis, Marion, and Bloomington. Finally, on May 6, 1924 they went to the Gennett Studios in Richmond, Indiana and recorded Copenhagen for posterity.
The recording was released on May 31, 1924. It was so successful, that the Melrose Bros. Music Company of Chicago, Illinois decided to publish the Wolverines' arrangement of the tune as a stock orchestration and commissioned one of their copyists, arranger/composer Joe Jordan, although Elmer Schoebel and Jelly Roll Morton [see Bruce Allen Hardy in an article for Storyville] have also been mentioned, to transcribe the Wolverine recording.
The front of the sheet music of the Melrose arrangement reads, Phonograph Arrangement as played by Wolverine Orchestra. Moreover, the cover of the sheet music carries the following Editors Note, a combination of advice and sales pitch. This number is a typical Dixieland shimmie one step and no attempt has been made in the arrangement the avoid the dissonances which give this type of composition its character. It is advisable to give this number a careful rehearsal before playing it in public even though the orchestra is accustomed to playing blues. A study of the recording made by the 'Wolverine Orchestra" (Gennett Record No. 5453) will give a clear idea of the many effects obtainable that cannot be indicated in black and white. However, the arrangement is RED HOT as written. Play what you see and the horns will start smoking. Take it from us as publishers of the Worlds Greatest Collection Of Blues-Stomps and Rags, COPENHAGEN is red hot and then some.
The arrangement included the choruses by Jimmy Hartwell and George Johnson, and a brief -only six bars- solo by Bix followed by a two-bar clarinet break and eight bars of the band playing with Bix dominating over the ensemble. The eight bars played by Bix represent a variation of what he had played in the six-bar solo. For the next year, the Melrose stock arrangement of Copenhagen, with variations to fit the recording band, was recorded frequently. The following are the recordings of Copenhagen listed in Brian Rust's Jazz Discography for the period May 1924-August 1925.
Wolverine Orchestra. 5/6/24
Benson Orchestra of Chicago. 9/8/24.
Sammy Stewart. 9/24
Al Turk. 10/24
Oriole Orchestra. 10/18/24
Varsity Eight. 10/22/24
New Orleans Jazz Band. 10/23/24
California Ramblers. 10/23/24
Fletcher Henderson. 10/30/24
Arkansas Travellers. 11/19/24
Savoy Orpheons. 1/21/25
Alex Hyde. 6/25
Julian Fuhs Follies Band. 6/25
The tune made it across the Atlantic Ocean as witnessed by one recording in England (Savoy Orpheons) and two recordings in Germany (Alex Hyde and Julian Fuhs). Most of the above recordings utilize the Melrose stock arrangement and include clarinetist Jimmy Hartwells and saxophonist George Johnsons 12-bar solos. As far as Bixs solo is concerned, of the above recordings that I had access to, those by the Benson Orchestra of Chicago, Al Turk, the Oriole Orchestra, the Varsity Eight, the California Ramblers and the Savoy Orpheons include either note for note copies or cornet solos that follow quite closely Bixs solo. The recording by Fletcher Henderson includes a solo by Louis Armstrong completely different from Bixs. The Arkansas Travellers version follows in general the pattern of the Melrose arrangement, but all solos are different from those in the Wolverines recording. In conclusion, the recording ofCopenhagen by the Wolverines contains the second example of a Bix solo copied -in this instance- by several cornet/trumpet players.
Tiger Rag.
Using Brian Rusts Jazz Discography as the source, it will be seen that Nick La Roccas composition Tiger Rag was the second most recorded tune between 1898 and 1942: it was recorded 113 times compared to 135 times for St. Louis Blues. The first recording of Tiger Rag dates from August 17, 1917 by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band. The ODJB recorded Tiger Rag again on March 25, 1918 for Victor (18472). This recording had a profound effect on 16-year old Bix. Charles Burnie Beiderbecke, Bixs brother, described Bixs reaction to Philip Evans. When Bix heard these records [Tiger Rag and Skeleton Jangle] it was his first exposure to jazz. He loved them and played them constantly, studying each note with his legs crossed, his head almost in the bell, oblivious to all of us. It was then he borrowed a beat-up cornet from a neighbor Bix taught himself to play the cornet by slowing down Tiger Rag playing it note for note with his ear in the bell.
The Wolverine Orchestra with Bix recorded Tiger Rag on June 20, 1924, the third recording session of the Wolverines for the Richmond Gennett studios. On the same day, the Wolverine Orchestra recorded INeed Some Pettin and Royal Garden Blues. The latter two recordings were issued in the Gennett 20,000 series (20,062) reserved for vanity or personal records. Only test pressings of the third number cut on that day Tiger Rag- were made. Members of the orchestra paid for the test pressings and received copies of them. It must be emphasized at this point that commercial recordings of Tiger Rag were not released until 1936.
Within three years of the Wolverines recording of Tiger Rag, the following four recordings of the song -relevant to the theme of the present article- were released.
May 4, 1925. California Ramblers (under various pseudonyms depending on the record label: Five Birmingham Babies, Goldies Syncopators, etc.). Red Nichols and Frank Cush on trumpet.
May 12, 1926. University Six. Chelsea Quealey on trumpet.
May 1926. Purple Pirates Orchestra. Unknown cornetist.
December 1927. Devines Wisconsin Roof Orchestra. Dick Happe and Alec Alexander on trumpet.
What is remarkable about the above four recordings issued in the time period 1925-1927, long before the first commercial release of the Wolverines' Tiger Rag in 1936, is that they all feature a trumpet solo that is nearly a note for note copy of Bixs cornet solo in the Wolverines recording of Tiger Rag Brad Kay had noted in 1999 the close similarity between Bixs solo and the solo in the Purple Pirates Orchestra recording. In an Internet forum (www.network54.com) Brad Kay wrote, Bix's solo on this delayed release of Tiger Rag was copied almost note-for-note by the cornetist on a 1926 record of Tiger Rag by the Williams College (Massachusetts) Purple Pirates jazz band. This was a one-off issue for sale at the college. The mystery is: How did the cornet player get to know this solo? Was someone at Williams hip enough to have one of those precious Wolverines Gennett tests? Or was the solo transcribed from the test to a stock arrangement used by this band and others? Or what?!? In his LP notes to the 1979 Sunbeam MFC-21, producer Alan Roberts also mentions the similarity of the Purple Pirates cornet solo to the Bix solo. In the same Internet forum, Frank van Nus noted recently that Red Nichols and Chelsea Quealeys solos are very similar to each other and to Bixs solo. He writes, Like Quealey's solo, the Nichols solo is identical to the Bix solo in the first 12 bars. Where Bix seems to shy just before the break, Nichols finishes the little riff Bix started (as does Quealey), and then produces a whole-tone break identical to the Quealey one. After the break, he follows the general direction of the Quealey solo. All in all, there are more similarities between Quealey and Nichols than between either of them and Bix. From this I conclude that Nichols and Quealey were reading from the same source - either hand-written or printed. Malcolm Walton in the same Internet forum and Richard Sudhalterin Lost Chords also noted the similarity between Quealeys and Bixs solos. Sudhalter writes, How, then, had Quealey, in New York, heard this performance? It is conceivable that Beiderbecke or another of the Wolverines had a copy and played it for him - but Quealey's performance here betokens careful listening and imitation. The 1927 recording by Devine's Wisconsin Roof Orchestra presents additional features of interest. Tracks 14 and 15 of the Jazz Oracle Bill Carlsen 1926-1928 CD (# BDW 8014) are takes 1 and 2, respectively, of Tiger Rag, recorded in December 1927 by Devine's Wisconsin Roof Orchestra. (18]. There is a trumpet solo in takes 1 and 2. The two solos are different from each other, although the construction and lengths are the same. The solo in take 1 could be described as a variation on Bix's solo in the Wolverines' version of Tiger Rag. On the other hand, the solo in take 2 is clearly a copy of Bix's solo, not quite note for note, but extremely close. We have what I view as a remarkable event. A trumpeter emulates [not the style, but the improvisation] Bix, not only by copying one of his solos, but also by providing an alternate take with a variation on Bix's solo! Just like we are told repeatedly that Bix did not replicate his solos in different takes, the trumpeter in Devines Wisconsin Roof Orchestra comes up with two
different solos in the two takes of Tiger Rag.
The similarity of the cornet solos in recordings of Tiger Rag issued shortly after that of the Wolverines -in view of the fact that the Wolverines recording was not issued commercially until 1936- presents indeed a mystery. It is possible, as Sudhalter suggests that one of the trumpet players had a copy of a test pressing of the Wolverines Tiger Rag. But it is unlikely that the four trumpeters had copies of test pressings at their disposal. I would like to offer the following hypothesis to explain this rather unusual puzzle.
As I indicated during the discussion of Jazz Me Blues, Bix and Red Nichols met early in July 1924, about two weeks after the Wolverines had recorded Tiger Rag. I suggest that, at that time, Bix gave Red a copy of the test pressing of the recently recorded Wolverines' Tiger Rag. This proposal is quite reasonable. Bix had a number of test pressings and he was willing to share one of them with a kindred soul. Fast forward to May 1925, Red is recording Tiger Rag with the California Ramblers. He remembers the test pressing of the Wolverines recording and listens to it. Red likes what he hears and copies Bix's solo. Now the solo, as part of the arrangement for Tiger Rag, is in the California Ramblers book. Comes May 1926, the University Six (a small contingent of California Ramblers musicians) record Tiger Rag and Chelsea Quealey uses again Bix's solo. Thus, we have a credible explanation for Red and Chelsea Quealey playing solos in their versions of Tiger Rag identical to each other and very similar to the one created by Bix in 1924. The Purple Pirates Orchestra could not have copied their solo from the University Six recording: the two recordings were made at about the same time. It is likely that the cornetistcopied the solo from the California Ramblers recording. As far as Devines Wisconsin Roof Orchestra, the trumpeter could have copied either the California Ramblers or the University Six recording, but ultimately, the original model was Bixs solo.
The count of copies of Bix's solo in Tiger Rag is now up to four: California Ramblers, University Six, Purple Pirates, and Devine's Wisconsin Roof Orchestra. Not bad for a record that was not released commercially and for which only test pressings were available in the 1920s!
In conclusion, I find it remarkable that Bixs solos from tunes in his first three recording sessions JazzMe Blues, Copenhagen, and Tiger Rag- were copied almost note for note by other trumpeters shortly after Bixs original recordings. I believe such copies represent a testimony to Bixs genius for composition and improvisation and to the admiration that fellow musicians held for Bix.

Mental illness continues to be a matter of concern in the District of Columbia. During the 2012 Fiscal Year, approximately 35,000 residents of the District of Columbia were treated for mental health or substance abuse disorders. The DC Department of Behavioral Health estimated that up to 50% of these patients were simultaneously receiving treatment for mental health and substance abuse related issues during this period.
To this day there is a stigma surrounding mental illness which may prevent those most in need of aid from seeking the treatment that is critical to their health. A range of factors—from fear of losing medical insurance to concerns about judgment and discrimination at work or school—can easily prevent an individual from reaching out.[1]
The National Alliance on Mental Illness found that when left unaddressed, mental illness may put an individual at higher risk for the development of chronic illnesses, or lead them down a path towards unemployment, hospitalization, incarceration, or suicide.[2] As long as a negative stigma continues to cloud the national dialogue on mental health, a number of individuals will go without critical treatments, subjecting themselves to unnecessary risks.
There has been an increased focus on the quality of care that DC Department of Behavioral Health consumers receive. We encourage the Department to continue to work towards this goal by: implementing mechanisms to improve training of Community Service Workers; adopt new indicators for "fidelity reports" that measure not only process, but outcomes; and create a system that holds providers accountable and promotes high quality service.
For a comprehensive list of community based support services, please visit the District of Columbia's home site for the Department of Behavioral Health.

These recollections are not about Mrs. Luce, who lived in the big house on Main Street in Freeport, Maine, where McDonald's now sells quick eats. Mrs. Luce was not a looker, but as her husband, Captain Luce, seldom came home from the sea, there was no particular need for her to be attractive. I say only what was said in my boyhood in Freeport.
Mrs. Luce accordingly lived alone in the great Luce house, depending on the daytime services of Ruel Hanscom, her hired man, who lived in the last house on the right before the Pownal town line. After Ruel did his own chores, he would come in time to milk the one Luce cow, feed the 10 Luce hens, and pass the day working the garden, cutting the hay, fitting the wood, and the other things Mrs. Luce required. Ruel was a volunteer fireman, town constable, truant officer, humane agent, and court crier for Judge Larabbee, so it was understood he could leave his Luce responsibilities when duty called.
When I was 10, I was trudging willingly home and went through the Luce dooryard to save steps. From an open cellar window, Ruel called to me, "Hey, bye!"
Meditating as I was, probably off on the Crusades, this startled me and I jumped. Then I spoke, "Hello, Mr. Hanscom."
He said, "Want an apple?"
It was that time of year. We, too, at our house, were gathering the fruits of summer and laying them by for cold-weather reference, a happy way to look forward to pies, brown betties, and bedtime treats. We had more apples at the moment than did Mrs. Luce.
But Mr. Hansom had modulated his remark so it was a command more than an invitation. I was expected to say yes. But I would have, anyway. I was aware that the Luce orchard, consisting of trees around the house and barn, included one variety that ours on the hillside did not. It was a Russet Sweet apple, and in a state that then grew some 300 kinds of apples commercially, it had no other name. As far as we knew, there were four trees of its kind in the world. One was in France, where Capt. Nugent Pettingill had swiped scions years ago, and the three trees he grafted when he got home to Freeport - his own, and one each on the lawns of his neighbors, Captain Winslow and Captain Luce.
The apple was not quite so big as a Dalliance Pippin. It was smooth and round, with a brown russet skin, and a long stem, like a cherry. The insides were white, and the flavor was merely sweet. It dropped when ready, and about the time school opened for fall term the children could sidestep at one of the three lawns and help themselves. The apple was not a good keeper, so the youngsters were welcome. When baked, these sweet apples were delicious, but as soon as Northern Spies were ready, all demand for baked sweet apples ceased. Ruel would be putting down perhaps no more than a peck of carefully selected sweet apples, the last of the season, to please Mrs. Luce until the Spies had mellowed.
So I said I would like an apple, and Ruel said, "What kind?"
I said, "A Russet Sweet, please!"
Ruel said, and I couldn't see him in the cellar, just hear him through the open window, "You gotta fat chance, you have, bye!" Which I had expected. It was late for sweet apples. Mrs. Luce wouldn't use all the few he was storing, and most would mush and be fed to the hens. But none was to give to the "bye" who came along. Ruel said, "Want to try for the $2 prize?"
And in apple time, at a cellar window, what would be a second choice? Baldwins, Spies, Tompkins Kings, Greenings, Nodheads, Fallwaters? Those were all winter apples, to be used after New Year's. The Porters, Gravensteins, St. Lawrence, Early Harvest, Red Astrachans? These were summer apples, had gone by, and were not stored.
The Delicious, the Mac, and the Cortland were not then common. The Granny Smith was miles to come. I came home that afternoon with a beautiful Northern Spy that Ruel had passed through the window to me, green as grass and dandy come February, the very same apple my dad and I were packing in our shed, off our own trees, for winter. That evening, as we sorted and packed some more, my dad looked over at me now and then, wagged his head, and went "tch, tch, tch." He also said several times that all our family needed was another nut. I had fetched home a Northern Spy!
MAYBE a year later, the house next above ours had a chimney fire, which was not uncommon in those days of woodstoves. It was a typical Maine winter day, wind from the No'theast at lickety whoop, and the snow coming in the keyhole faster'n you could shovel it out through the shed, and the sparks coming up like the fireworks at Vesuvius. The lady came wading down because she had no phone, and cranked Central and reported a fire. In due time we saw Ruel coming across the field, waist-deep in new drifts, and he carried a pail. It was snowing so hard he had to dump out the pail every few yards.
Ruel was the fire department that day, and he saved the house. He closed the damper of the stove, cleaned the hot embers into his pail, and carried them out of the kitchen. In 10 minutes the chimney had burned itself out. When his pail cooled off, he waded back down to the home of Mrs. Luce, but he stopped at our house to tell us the fire was out. I said, "Want an apple?" Ruel said, "I'll have a sweet 'un, thankee." I brought him the Spy, this one ready to eat. He looked it over, no doubt hoping for a blemish, before he bit into it. "I owe you one," he said.

Do you desire smooth supple skin? Do you want that healthy glow? Do you know the best way to care for your skin? Check out this article for great advice on how to achieve all these things. Just a couple minutes every day can make a big difference.
Cut down on fatty and sugary foods. Fried foods and foods high in sugar may taste good, but they wreak havoc on your face. Eliminate them from your diet as much as possible, and that includes soft drinks. Replace those junk foods with healthier alternatives (for example, eat yogurt instead of ice cream) and watch your skin improve.
If you want to know more about the effects of fatty foods on skin health and acne (read this article on Scientific American)
If you want skin that is soft and supple, you should look into a body exfoliator. These body scrubs help to remove the dead skin cells, revealing softer, smoother skin in the process. You can use exfoliators such as salt scrubs once or twice a week for best results. However, remember to moisturize immediately after to protect the beautiful, healthy skin you just uncovered.
Similarly, many spas now offer Microcurrent facials which are becoming increasingly popular among celebs as an alternative to botox. You can read more on that here.
If you treat your face with fruit acids, you can attain a healthier, cleaner look. By placing fruit acids on your skin, the outer layer of dead skin is removed, causing your skin to look fresh and rejuvenated. Fruit acids also promote the generation of collagen, which helps prevent sun damage.
Unfortunately, there is no permanent cure for those ugly bumps on the back of your legs known as cellulite. Unless you have amazing genes, every woman suffers from this problem. However, you can reduce their appearance on a day-to-day basis. Apply specialized cellulite creams that contain caffeine every morning. The caffeine in the lotion will temporarily tighten the skin on your thighs, giving you smoothness that will last a few hours.
Body wash can cause dryness to your skin, sometimes more than environmental factors will. Look for body washes that are packed full of healthy vitamins and minerals. These ingredients will help keep moisture in, and will also help your skin regenerate.
If you have combination skin, that is, skin with both oily and dry areas, choose a foundation that is whipped, powder, or cream. Any of these options will do an excellent job of covering any blemishes and giving you a smooth, even tone. These types of foundation will also moisturize your skin rather than dry it out.
If you've got skin damage on your face, there are some things that you can do to help. These options may include procedures such as dermabrasion, chemical peels or laser abrasion. Each procedure can be done as a stand alone treatment or combined with skin care procedure. You can also combat sun-damaged skin with Vitamin C or alpha hydroxyl acid facials, which can improve the way sun-damaged skin appears.
If you notice that white bumps have appeared on the skin under your eyes, don't worry. They are the harmless indication that you have an excess of dead skin cells under your eyes. If you want to get rid of them, do not exfoliate since this can damage the paper-thin skin that sits just above your cheekbones. Instead, use an eye product with vitamin A, which will gently slough away the bumps.
Taking care of your skin in the winter can prove difficult. Use a quality moisturizer at least twice a day, and preferably every time you wash your hands. Keep a bottle near your sink to make it easier to remember. Moisturizing your hands regularly will prevent dry skin, and prevention is easier than resolving the problem after the fact.
You can step out with well-nourished and glowing skin! Daily effort will make your whole body smoother, softer and tighter. Remember that nothing instantly happens, so it may take a week or more to see the results of your efforts.

I'm still getting used to my new title of doctor of expressive therapies.
It has been a long journey which began in the summer of 2007 at Lesley University.
The program is low residency so classes are held for three weeks each of three summers. Summer classes in expressive therapies have an exciting range of experientials from art-making to movement, performance, writing and drumming. The classes then continue through the rest of the year online. It was great to continue the communication with those I met in summer courses who were from Israel and South Korea, as well the US. These other doctoral students were interesting and diverse, so online interactions were lively and often fun.
Of course a doctoral program is not just fun, but also a tremendous amount of work, especially the dissertation itself. My dissertation titled "Drawing as self expression with normally fuctioning adults: a ten week technique" was designed in response to the cultural need for more creative expression. As an incessant doodler, I have a great love of line drawings and the expressive opportunity that drawing can offer. Participants each made a series of ten drawings, one each week and then documented their experiences through pre and post intervention questionnaires. Many participants wrote that they benefitted from the process of drawing each week. The two highest rated benefits were fun and calming. So if people drew regularly and felt more happy and calm… The world could be a happier calmer place… thats what I think, and I'm a doctor.

About CoDA Meetings
What is a CoDA Meeting?
Attending meetings is necessary for recovery in the CoDA program. A codependent attends meetings for his/her personal recovery, and this attendance benefits everyone, its what creates the group. At meetings, we share our experience, strength, and hope in our program of recovery. Where Do I Find A Meeting? We maintain an updated list of meetings across Canada. Visit our Meetings List page to find a list of meetings in your area. This page also gives information on who to contact for meetings outside Canada.
What Happens At A CoDA Meeting?
Meeting Opening. CoDA meetings usually start with a m oment of silence followed by a prayer of the group's choice. Following the opening prayer, almost all CoDA meetings read a selection of the foundational documents listed in the Conference guidelines. There is usually a short time allowed for announcements or group conscience.
After the opening there is usually a time of sharing where the group divides up into smaller groups of about 6-10 to tell smaller pieces of their individual recovery stories. There is only one paramount rule in sharing: "No crosstalk". We make no comments about other people's sharing and do not give advice.
As part of the closing, a prepared statement is often recited, "Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of our program. Let what is said here, who you see here, when you leave here, let it stay here". A closing prayer is usually said and the slogan "Keep coming back – It works!".
What Are The Different Types Of Meetings?
Newcomers meetings
These meetings have a special format to allow newcomers to have their questions answered by Old Timers. Special efforts are made at regular meetings to provide for the needs of newcomers.
Speaker or Step meetings
A speaker shares his/her story for 20-30 minutes or shares on a designated topic.
Step Study Meeting
These meetings are designed to work the Steps together as a group of recovering codependents.
Step Four Writing Meetings
These are designed to allow time for individual reflection and writing, followed by an opportunity for each person to share some of what they have written during the session.

Sales and marketing expenses are included in the financial projections as part of operating expenses in the income statement.
The sales and marketing expense is a direct result of the planned activities in the marketing plan section of the business plan.
Sales and Marketing Expense Cost Drivers
All expenses are driven by activities, and in the case of sales and marketing the key cost drivers include the following:
- Staff expenses
- Sales commissions
- Customer acquisition costs
- Exhibitions
- Brand building
- Technical support
- Customer service
Typical Sales and Marketing Expenses
It is important to decide from day one what will be classified as a sales and marketing expense. There are a wide variety of expenses to consider, but unfortunately not all business classify them in the same way. For example, some businesses might classify technical support as a sales expense, whereas others may include the cost as part of their cost of sales.
The following are typical sales and marketing expenses:
- Sales and marketing salaries (sales manager, marketing manager)
- Customer service salaries
- Travel and entertainment relating to sales and marketing
- Advertising
- Promotion
- Packaging and distribution expenses
- Commissions and fees to sales agents
- Selling show room and sales office costs
- Post sales technical support
Sales and Marketing Expense Ratio
Having classified the sales and marketing expenses, it is useful to calculate the sale and marketing expense as a percent of revenue to give a financial ratio as follows:
This ratio is one of many expense ratios, and can be used to make comparisons to other businesses within your industry (providing they are using a similar classification), to ensure that the sales and marketing expense included in the financial projections is comparable and realistic.
In addition, it is important to monitor changes in the ratio over time to see that the investment in sales and marketing is producing the required and planned result. A significant rise in the sales and marketing expense to revenue ratio may indicate that the investment in sales and marketing is not as cost effective as it should be.

No. 2 UCLA and UCSB Play to Scoreless Draw
Sept. 3, 2003
LOS ANGELES - In its home opener Wednesday evening at Spaulding Field, the second-ranked UCLA women's soccer team played to a scoreless draw with UC Santa Barbara. With the tie, UCLA's record moves to 1-0-2 on the season, while UCSB goes to 1-1-1.
The Bruins had several scoring opportunities in the match, outshooting the Gauchos, 19-7 on the night. UCLA's best scoring opportunity came in the 14th minute of overtime, when midfielder Stacy Lindstrom nearly put in a short-range shot in the box. However, UCSB goalkeeper Jamie Considine was just able to get a finger on it and push it away. Considine finished with seven saves on the evening.
Bruin forward Iris Mora recorded a game-high five shots and was followed by Sarah-Gayle Swanson with four. UCSB's Krystal Sandza led the Gauchos with two shots.
UCLA returns to action this Friday to take on St. Mary's at 7:00 p.m. That match will also be played at UCLA's Spaulding Field.

For much of its existence, the feminist movement in the United States has looked like a loosely knit coalition of upstarts and insurgents making common cause around an evolving list of issues: suffrage, access to divorce, property rights, contraception, antidiscrimination law, sexual harassment, domestic violence, rape law and abortion rights, to name a few. In turn, feminism has apparently struck many historians as being both too topical and too diffuse to have a history. At least such a view offers the most likely explanation for an enduring deficiency. Although American historians have written incisive histories of marriage with attention to women's concerns (Nancy Cott's Public Vows: A History of Marriage and the Nation, Hendrik Hartog's Man and Wife in America: A History) and landmark biographies of feminist pioneers (Ellen Chesler on Margaret Sanger, Elizabeth Griffith on Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Nell Irvin Painter on Sojourner Truth), they have not given us any comparably authoritative history of the feminist movement in the United States. But now we have one.
Christine Stansell's magisterial The Feminist Promise traces the movement from its eighteenth-century inception to the present day, sorting out its crosscurrents and offering a useful narrative framework within which to situate its varied struggles. Stansell is an acclaimed scholar who has worked on a variety of topics in US history, from antebellum and bohemian New York City to the histories of love and human rights. She is also a good writer, having honed her style by contributing numerous essays and reviews to a variety of general-interest publications. Though dense and impeccably documented, The Feminist Promise is lucid, accessible and well organized. It will be a benchmark for some time to come—although, as we shall see, it has a significant shortcoming.
Here one should pause to raise a relatively minor question of exposition and framing. Although the book's sweeping title could lead one to believe that Stansell will discuss feminist movements in a variety of countries, and although the narrative occasionally turns to developments in Europe (particularly Britain) and even, more rarely, to Japan and India, Stansell takes as her project the story of feminism in the United States. Yet she should not be understood as claiming that the United States was the sole or even the primary cradle of feminism. In her final and excellent chapter on global feminism, Stansell rightly resists the idea that feminism is an American export to developing nations. We learn, for example, that India had its own indigenous feminist movement, inspired more by local struggles than by ideas from abroad. (Although Stansell does not trace the earlier history of that movement, its roots are in the eighteenth century, like those of its US counterpart.) So the book does not mislead, ultimately. Yet I wish Stansell had explained the scope of her project more emphatically at the outset—granting in the process that feminism has multiple roots and branches, few of them being the outgrowth of democratic revolutions, and that her book is going to ignore most of them in order to focus on the story of the United States.
The material Stansell has organized is diffuse, since feminism has indeed been a diverse set of movements, reflecting pronounced differences of race, class and region. Nonetheless, she wisely coordinates the welter of facts around a single, clear narrative thesis about two basic types of feminists, whom she calls "mothers" and "daughters." "Mothers" are rather conservative feminists. They love the traditional family and are fond of exalting the virtues of caring and compassion that women allegedly cultivate more than men. When mothers advocate for certain social changes, they do so in the name of these female virtues. Often their feminism has a religious dimension. Their demands are strong but not profoundly radical: they want women to be granted political equality so that they can put their virtues to work ameliorating the public sphere, but they leave unchallenged the status quo as to the nature of marriage, sexuality and the family. "Daughters," by contrast, are radical and boisterous. They want to shake up everything. They demand a wholesale reconsideration of women's role in the world, of the entire distinction between male and female gender and of the nature of marriage and sexuality.

Trailing Undead Deer: How To Trail Deer That Won't Die
The chase isn't over 'till you find your deer and break out your knife.
A whitetail is one of the most adaptive, determined and resilient creatures on Earth. We have all seen deer take precise and mortal hits with firearms and archery equipment and they run off as if merely spooked. Most of us have witnessed a deer being hit by a car, and often they often just disappear into the forest. Do deer know some zombie secrets? How is this possible?
The simple explanation is adrenaline. The same stuff that helps panicking parents turn crashed cars over is pumping through a deer. A deer uses adrenaline like a Cajun uses hot sauce; it's always handy and applied liberally.
We humans use adrenaline sparingly. Only under extreme distress does our body make this resource available. Like on Black Friday or something.
When you have made a shot that's less than perfect, combating the effects adrenaline require some thought and patience. A deer has no dilemma of fight or flight when faced with a dangerous situation, it's all flight and deer are well-trained in escape techniques. You must attempt to relive every detail of the shot you made and proceed accordingly when preparing to trail deer.

How to call deer without the call
Rabbit hunting: very, very quiet, and sneaky [VIDEO]
10 things that suck about hunting season
Try to focus on where you held your crosshairs or pin, recall the deer's first reaction and the direction the animal headed. All these factors sound trivial, but they add up to a good game plan when trailing a deer. Once you have arrived at the deer's location when the shot was made, bring all the "CSI knowledge" you have amassed from television into play.
Look at the ground, obviously for blood but also hair and how the terrain can offer advantages to your trailing. If a good blood trail is evident, follow and keep your eyes and ears open to clues to what lies ahead. If you jump the deer and hear it run further, patience is now the preferred virtue to rely on. Sit tight, pay attention to the blood, recall what side the entry wound is on, and use this time to determine where the deer will head. It helps to the area you are hunting.
I usually wait 30 minutes. It is a long enough period of time to let a deer feel comfortable and possibly slip into the darkness. It is also the maximum amount of time I can wait without going crazy, I'm not that patient.
If a deer continues to flee, I usually mark my last position clearly and back out of the area for a couple of hours. I usually grab a bite to eat, round up a buddy or two, and get back after it. Your odds increase with more eyes and, if possible, your friends should be equipped with guns. Dedication and good friends are a must when you trail deer that won't give up.
Persistence is most often the most important thing you have to combat the strong adrenaline rush a deer can use to escape. I've often wondered just how much adrenaline a deer can manufacture, I'm usually thinking this while on all fours following a blood trail through a briar thicket. A deer is simply following its instincts, but they follow them well.

5 benefits of drinking Milk
1. The calcium in milk fortifies bones and teeth
Milk contains calcium in abundance. Calcium is an important mineral for children as their bones need proper development and strength whilst they pass through the development phase. As for adults, drinking milk is equally important due to the fact that their bones get fragile with age and might become weak on account of calcium deficiency. Your teeth also become strong as a result of milk consumption and remain free from decay, cavities.
2. Maintain muscles with milk!
Protein helps to rebuild your muscles and prevent soreness after you work out. Also, you may lose important fluids after a workout session so it is imperative that you drink milk to replenish yourself, after hitting the gym. Keep soreness at bay and rebuild your muscles in no time by consuming milk!
3. Wash stress away with milk
Nothing washes away stress and anxiety like a nice, warm glass of milk. Warm milk is supposed to soothe frayed nerves and produce a calming effect on a person's mental state of mind. So go ahead and have a glass of warm milk after a hectic day at the office!
4. Milk works wonders for your health!
An apple a day might keep the doctor away, and so does a glass of milk! Milk is known to prevent your liver from developing cholesterol. This benefits your heart tremendously and ensures it keeps on beating with vigor and strength. Not only does milk lower blood pressure, it also acts as an antacid. Vitamins A and B in milk is good for your eyesight.
5. Maintain astounding looks with milk!
Yes, its true! The legendary Queen Cleopatra, who was famous for her enchanting beauty, used to daily bathe herself in a mixture of milk and honey. Apply milk on your skin to ensure proper vitamins are absorbed by your skin and hence, make it glow!
So what are you waiting for? Don't you think it's high time you start consuming milk on a daily basis? Grab a glass of milk and gulp away!

Broward Sheriff's deputies arrested a man and woman believed to be part of a two-county burglary ring, recovered more than $2,000 in stolen property and seized weapons, cash and drugs in a raid on a mobile home near Fort Lauderdale on Monday, officials said.
Sheriff's spokesman George Crolius said detectives searched three mobile homes in the 3800 block of Southwest 13th Court about 7:30 p.m. Two of the homes were unoccupied but the third contained stolen property, three guns and small amounts of cocaine and marijuana, he said.
The home's occupants, Andrew Dabenedetto, 32, and Carol Bair, 26, were arrested on charges of possession of the drugs, Crolius said, and Dabenedetto also was charged with weapons violations.
No charges involving the stolen property were immediately filed; Crolius said investigators were conducting an inventory of the property.
The raid was part of an ongoing investigation with Metro-Dade police of a home-burglary ring, Crolius said. Monday's seizure along with a raid last month in Dade County brought to $30,000 the amount of stolen property recovered during the investigation.
Officials said they have been able to clear more than 200 burglaries through the investigation.

According to Edwin A. Lee who personally knew the Scott-Siddons, she worshiped at the shrine of Thespis" and her husband Captain "Scott" was a votary of "Bacchus" which caused them to separate and which also most likely caused his death probably sometime in the late 1870's. After a long absence from America Mrs. Scott-Siddons returned to this country in the early 1890's and resided for a while in New York. After one failed attempt at acting at Palmer's Theatre in a version of Augier's "L'Aventuriere" she was no longer seen in the public eye. She died in Paris on 19 Nov, 1896 at the age of fifty-two.

Service of Ordination
Published on June 26th, 2013 by Suzanne
The churches of Bishop and the general public are invited to the service of ordination of Pastor Kelly Larson of Bishop Creek Community Church.
The Service of Ordination is the final segment in the process of credentialing for the Evangelical Free Church of America and is intended to publicly recognize and affirm the calling and gifts of the individual to vocational gospel ministry. The service follows a process of doctrinal examination that confirms theological mastery as well as pastoral mission.
Pastor Larson has long been involved with the Evangelical Free Church denomination serving as usher, deacon, teacher, elder and pastor, serving as the lead pastor at Bishop Creek for the past 5 years.
He received his Bachelors degree in Business Administration: Marketing from California State Fullerton and worked in the business sector as an insurance broker and a contractor before accepting God's call to ministry. He attended Calvary Chapel Bible College, later graduating from Biola University/Talbot School of Theology with a Masters degree in Christian Apologetics and is currently working on his Ph.D. in Systematic Theology from the South African Theological Seminary.
Kelly has just celebrated 14 years of marriage to his wife Suzanne who serves in the ministry as well and has just received her license within the denomination.
The service will take place at 10:00a.m. Sunday July 7th in the Tallman Pavilion at the Fairgrounds. We also invite all to attend the potluck celebration immediately following the service.

Happy New Yeat to you LLA !
Love your blog !
Nothing tempting right now out of the new stuff. Flip Your Dog LS and Free to Be Wild bra are very cute but I've bought enough in the last 2 months. Don't like the pastels. So my wallet can breath a little now.

Wow, the pic of the Flip Your Dog LS and Free to Be Wild bra with the pink straps is super cute!! I know the FTB bra doesn't work for me, so all those extra straps will most likely be too tight and give me even more back fat, lol.

This is a random question but i thought someone here could maybe answer- i traded for a pair of Run: A Marathon crops in Porcelaine blue and was wondering if anyone knew if this blue color ever had bleeding issues? thanks!

- January 1, 2014 at 6:37 PM
thank you, LLA, for all you do!!! I check your blog daily (sometimes, multiple times).
I stopped in my store today. I tried the FYD tee and it is really cute. I needed a smaller size and they were gone. I also couldn't get passed the fact that I could buy a similar style elsewhere for a lot cheaper. I also tried on a new long-sleeved running tee, but I can't remember the name. it was made of Silverescent and didn't have the thumb holes. it was really cute, but I had other things I wanted more.
- January 1, 2014 at 6:58 PM
I'm with you Chingaling!! I love the FTB bra and always want one but I can't pull it off. I always forget and try to buy one - the Wild Silver Spoon is so pretty!
I do love the Energy Bra though - totally enough support for my C/D cups.
- January 1, 2014 at 7:37 PM
LLA, thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to this blog. All my fellow LLL friends read this blog faithfully and have learned so much. You have been an inspiration to me when you share your running stories and how much you enjoy the 1/2 marathons. Because of this I'm going to be signing up to run @ Seawheeze 2014! I'm nervous since this will be my first and just starting to run.

@Jennifer - I haven't had any problems with Porcelaine blue bleeding and I have the wrong sweat ph that makes things bleed in colors most people don't have problems with - Paris Perfection, Black, the yellow in the midnight iris print.

Thank you LLA, for your 'hobby' and all your hard work. Congrats on your running accomplishments!
That you hated running but persevered is awesome! I have always loved running and would never give it up.
Happy running!

Lady Gaga addresses media in Delhi
With shades, blonde buns, graceful dress and jewellery, singing sensation Lady Gaga in her press meet gushed about India saying: "I never would have imagined years ago that I would be able to come to India and..."music Updated: Oct 29, 2011 14:38 IST
The singing sensation Lady Gaga - with shades, blonde buns, graceful dress and jewellery - addressed media where she talked about how India influences her music and her clothes.
The quintessential style icon said: "I never would have imagined years ago that I would be able to come to India and perform and meet my new amazing fans that are here. So I would like to say thank you to all of you ..my deepest gratitude and also I am most excited to meet all of you. The sites here in India are beautiful but the most beautiful site is the people."
One has to shell out Rs 40,000 for a ticket to attend international pop star Lady Gaga's performance at the F1 after-party in Greater Noida on Sunday and the show is a total sell out, says actor-businessman Arjun Rampal, who is organising the event.
"The maximum capacity for the party is 1,000, and Gaga's show is completely sold out," said Arjun Rampal.
The F1 after-parties, to be held as part of the Airtel Grand Prix of India, will take place at a special, 20,000 sq ft construction at the Jaypee Greens Golf and Spa Resort in Greater Noida.
International DJ Roger Sanchez will perform on day one Friday, Edward Maya on the second day Saturday and Tom Navy on day three Sunday. Gaga will stage the finale.
Gaga, known for numbers like "Poker face" and "Born this way", is already in town, and excited about her performance.
"I think Lady Gaga is uber cool. Look at her flamboyant style, carefree attitude, she is so popular...I was so keen to watch her show, but the ticket rate is so high," said 17-year-old Devyanshi Mehra.
Even Arjun Sinha, a 23-year-old was looking forward to Gaga's performance, until he found out the ticket price.
"There was no way I could have asked my parents to sponsor such an expensive ticket for me. But I am sure all the people who are lucky enough to attend it, will get to enjoy a lot. She's a total rockstar!" he said.
Asked about the reason for putting such a heavy price tag for the party, Arjun said: "We couldn't have lowered the price. We have limited space...and here, we are talking about an immensely popular international celebrity. One has to understand that the costs are very high. Maybe if we had a bigger venue with capacity for more people, we could have gone easy on the price. But with less people, it becomes difficult to lower the price. After all it's business, and we have to break even."
Arjun says he has other reasons too for pricing the party at Rs 40,000 per head.
"We know Gaga has a lot of young fans. In fact, a majority of her young monsters here are teenagers...so we couldn't have kept a low price, and invited youngsters to a party where there would be free alcohol and stuff. It's not a done thing," he said.
That is why he has tied up with UTV Stars to telecast the show at a later date in November.
"For all those who will miss out Gaga's performance, they can watch it on TV. After all we should give the young monsters a chance to see their favourite star on her India tour. The channel will show all the performances exclusively," he said.

I grew up in Koffiefontein till the age of 12 years old before moving to Port Elizabeth.
I loved my childhood day there.
As we where the only Portuguese/English people there, I was like any other child growing up in a real small loving community.
September 2012
My heart is in Koffiefontein because that is where my father Dirk Louw taught me the real beauty of this town and its surrounding farms. He was a farm boy in this area and then successfully farmed on his own farm called Weltevrede before he died at the age of 94 years on 10 September 2012. His grave between two rows of tall threes next to green pastures and waters of piece will always remind me of the wonderful life he experienced in this Koffiefontein district. To pass through this area is an experience on its own and recommended to those walking this earth with a love for simplicity .

The quiet village of Gilwern was once a hub of nineteenth Century industry, and is an ideal starting point for exploring the industrial heritage of South Wales. Blaenavon World Heritage site is a short drive (or energetic walk) away. Gilwern is within easy reach of Abergavenny, Crickhowell and Brynmawr
The Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal flows through the village, and a range of boats can be hired locally. There is walking to suit all abilities: the flat canal towpath, tramroads leading to the quarries above and steep narrow footpaths leading up through woods and fields to the open moorland on Llangattock mountain and Gilwern Hill.
The historic Llanelly Church can be reached on foot or by car, and the remains of working communities can be traced in in the terraced housing clinging to the valley sides. Gilwern Wharf, once a thriving industrial site, can be reached in a few minutes walk from the village centre, along the canal towpath.
The Clydach Gorge Nature Reserve offers native Beechwoods, teeming with wildlife. The reserve can be viewed from the disused railway (walking and cycle track) and is criss-crossed by numerous footpaths.
Gilwern has a range of local shops, including village post office, canal gift shop, quality butcher, petrol station/general store, cafe, fish and chips, and several pubs.

text: It was interesting that just as in a third world country without the basics, people naturally gathered at the community watering hole, in our case a roadside springfed hose just outside of the village.There news and gossip was traded and coping skills shared. We were most thankful for our old fashioned coffee percolator and our wood stove which produced quite a magnificent Christmas dinner for ourselves and some neighbors. Future survival purchases will be a hand pump to access water from our well and enough solar panel/battery storage to run one light bulb for reading without eye strain.
