Why You Should Buy Eco-friendly Energy Appliances?
Electricity makes the world go 'round, but have you ever considered the sources it comes from? Green energy is found in many environmentally-friendly sources, and you can use it within your own home to ensure that your appliances are powered without damaging the Earth. Read on for some simple strategies to get you started.
Cutting back on your daily electricity usage can save lots of energy over time. Unplug appliances that aren't in use. Make sure you turn off lights and electronic appliances when you do not plan on using them. These simple tips can save you money, as well as saving electricity.
Use cold water for laundry, whenever you can. Almost ninety percent of the energy used by a washing machine comes from heating the water for a warm or hot cycle. As long as the washing detergent you use is reliable, using cold water instead of hot water will wash your clothes just as well. Furthermore, remember to always wash a full load, as this is more energy efficient.
Measure the prevailing wind speed on your property before considering a wind generator. In order for wind energy to be cost-effective, you need a wind speed greater than 8.5 to 9 MPH at least sixty percent of the time. Any slower, and the turbine won't spin fast enough to generate much electricity.
Set your computer so that it goes to sleep when you are not using it for more than 10-15 minutes at any given time. While most people believe that screensavers save energy they do not, and should not be used as an alternative to placing your computer in a sleeping state.
If you are seeking to save energy, try not to drive too fast. When a person drives fast, they use too much gasoline, which in turn, wastes energy. Furthermore, when you drive fast and waste too much gasoline, you are going to end up spending way too much money on gas.
Measure the prevailing wind speed on your property before considering a wind generator. In order for wind energy to be cost-effective, you need a wind speed greater than 8.5 to 9 MPH at least sixty percent of the time. Any slower, and the turbine won't spin fast enough to generate much electricity.
Check out the Green Power Network website to find out if there is a green power alternative available in your area. Consider switching to green power if there is a good service available in your area and if you can afford to. You might be able to get a tax rebate in some states.
Simply cleaning or changing the filter on your furnace can cut electricity costs significantly. Too much dirt or dust built up in the vents can make more heat necessary to warm the house. It only takes a short amount of time to clean these, and you will notice the change in https://climate.nasa.gov/ your bills!
Desktop computers require a lot of energy, so why not opt for a laptop? That can reduce up to two-thirds of your power usage; that is especially true if you frequently use word processing or the internet. The laptop has the added benefit of being portable, so you can use it anywhere!
For green energy use, always recycle your aluminum cans. The energy saved by just recycling one single aluminum can is enough to power a television for three hours. If everyone just recycled their aluminum cans, there would be more energy available for us to use for our everyday use and less energy wasted.
A good green energy tips for your home is to always wash your dishes in cold water unless they are oily. When using cold water, you are not using any electricity that you would normally use if the water was hot. Small things like this can really reduce the amount of energy your home uses each month.
A simple and easy way to reduce your energy consumption and make your house greener is to thoroughly clean the lint filter in your dryer each time before you use it. Believe it or not, by doing this easy and simple act, you can slash your dryer's usage of electricity by as much as 30%!
Even though appliances that are energy efficient cost more than those airport lighting conference that are not, they are worth it because they will save you money over the long term. Using energy efficient gadgets and appliances will save you money on your energy bill, which adds up from month to month to equal greater savings for you. It is also one more positive impact on the environment that compounds.
Use light with greater responsibility to make your home greener. Try to wait as long as you can before you turn on lights in the summer months when the sun is out longer. Install dimmers so that you can adjust how much light you actually use. In other areas, consider using sensors or timers to make sure that lights are not left on for longer than needed.
A great way to go green is to replace your regular light bulbs with compact fluorescent lights or LED's. These light bulbs use about one fifth of the energy as regular light bulbs but can last up to twelve times longer. They also don't generate as much heat so they are particularly useful in the summer months.
Perhaps you can't power your entire home through renewable energy, but you may be able to start with a section. For instance, maybe you can get solar panels that just heat the water in your home.
Don't use your dishwasher until you have a full load. Make sure your dishwasher is full before using it, hecause it takes the same amount of water and energy to wash a full load as it does half a load. Use the shortest cycle possible, if you can, turn the dishwasher off prior to the drying cycle, opening the door. This allows the dishes to air dry.
Now it's up to you to take what you've learned here and put it to use. Keep these tips handy and continue to seek out more information. Soon, you'll be able to run everything you need, from the washing machine to your car, in an environmentally responsible manner and that will feel great!

John Coltrane, A Love Supreme: The Complete Masters (Impulse!)
John Coltrane (1926-1967), was already a musician of major standing and influence when he recorded A Love Supreme on December 9, 1964. In the less than three years of life remaining to him, the album became a watershed in the development of jazz. It made Coltrane a secular saint not only of the music but also of a troubled generation wandering in the spiritual wasteland of the Viet Nam and civil rights era. As a living Coltrane legacy, A Love Supreme's effect on succeeding jazz by instrumentalists and vocalists has continued to grow. The titles of the piece's sections are indications of the depth of the saxophonist's metaphysical transformation in 1957 from post-bebop striver with drug and alcohol problems into a seeker of peace and enlightenment through creative expression, religion and mysticism. The titles are "Acknowledgement," "Resolution," "Pursuance" and "Psalm."
The super deluxe edition of the latest reissue of A Love Supreme puts in clear perspective Coltrane's and his quartet's achievement. Its three compact discs include the original release plus revisions that amount to Coltrane's afterthoughts about the music— afterthoughts that he abandoned in favor of the purity and passion of the original recording. Coltrane, pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Elvin Jones had a burst of inspired music making in the December 9 session. The next day, Coltrane brought in tenor saxophonist Archie Shepp and bassist Art Davis to join the quartet in new runs at some of the music. The four alternate takes, a false start and a breakdown take of "Acknowledgement" have moments of interest, some produced by Shepp's raw energy and his interaction with Coltrane. However, hearing the collective approach using two saxophones and two basses leaves no doubt about the wisdom of Coltrane, producer Bob Thiele and engineer Rudy Van Gelder staying with the original quartet plan for the issued album. The new album also includes monaural reference tapes of "Pursuance" and "Psalm" that add nothing to understanding of the primary material. In another take, Coltrane's inclusion of his alto saxophone for a second horn part in "Psalm" proves pointless, although the take catches Elvin Jones unleashing a magnificent peal of thunder on what sounds like kettle drums.
By the time of the Antibes Jazz Festival in mid-1965, A Love Supreme was years from general recognition as a masteripiece. A French musician and record company executive, Jeff Gilson, had heard an advance copy and asked Coltrane to play the piece. Radio France broadcast the concert and recorded it. The third disc of this set is that performance of all four parts believed to be the only time the quartet played it for a live audience. It turns out that France's national television system aired the concert as well, and recorded at least a part of it. The video is not a part of the Impulse! set, but a segment of it has shown up on YouTube, thanks to an uploader calling himself, or themselves, ajack2boys. It includes only 12 minutes of the performance, but it's an intriguing glimpse of Coltrane's quartet playing part of it eight months after they recorded the album.
The 30-page booklet that accompanies the super deluxe edition of the Coltrane album on Impulse! includes a number of previously unpublished photographs and a valuable Ashley Kahn essay about the music, the musicians and the circumstances of the recording.
After a disappointing week in which not much had gone the way I had hoped, I was sitting in a kind of blank mood, not knowing what to do next. Suddenly the idea of listening to John Coltrane came to me. But before doing so I made an end-of-day email check — and there was this blog post! Coincidence? ESP? I don't know, but I settled on All Mornin'Long and it has never sounded better. Thanks!

It can be found growing in temperate regions of the world, in lawns, on roadsides, on disturbed banks and shores of water ways, and other areas with moist soils. T. officinale is considered a weed, especially in lawns and along roadsides, but it is sometimes used as a medical herb and in food preparation. Common dandelion is well known for its yellow flower heads that turn into round balls of silver tufted fruits that disperse in the wind called "blowballs" or "clocks" (in both British and American English).Taraxacum officinale, the common dandelion (often simply called "dandelion"), is a flowering herbaceous perennial plant of the family Asteraceae (Compositae).
Taraxacum officinale grows from generally unbranched taproots and produces one to more than ten stems that are typically 5-40 cm (2.0-15.7 in) tall, but sometimes up to 70 cm (28 in) tall. The stems can be tinted purplish, they are upright or lax, and produce flower heads that are held as tall or taller than the foliage. The foliage may be upright-growing or horizontally spreading; the leaves have petioles that are either unwinged or narrowly winged. The stems can be glabrous or sparsely covered with short hairs. Plants have milky latex and the leaves are all basal; each flowering stem lacks bracts and has one single flower head. The yellow flower heads lack receptacle bracts and all the flowers, which are called florets, are ligulate and bisexual. In many lineages, fruits are mostly produced by apomixis, notwithstanding the flowers are visited by many types of insects.
The leaves are 5-45 cm (2.0-17.7 in) long and 1-10 cm (0.39-3.94 in) wide, and are oblanceolate, oblong, or obovate in shape, with the bases gradually narrowing to the petiole. The leaf margins are typically shallowly lobed to deeply lobed and often lacerate or toothed with sharp or dull teeth.
The calyculi (the cuplike bracts that hold the florets) are composed of 12 to 18 segments: each segment is reflexed and sometimes glaucous. The lanceolate shaped bractlets are in two series, with the apices acuminate in shape. The 14-25 mm (0.55-0.98 in) wide involucres are green to dark green or brownish-green, with the tips dark gray or purplish. The florets number 40 to over 100 per head, having corollas that are yellow or orange-yellow in color.
The fruits, called cypselae, range in color from olive-green or olive-brown to straw-colored to grayish, they are oblanceoloid in shape and 2-3 mm (0.079-0.118 in) long with slender beaks. The fruits have 4 to 12 ribs that have sharp edges. The silky pappi, which form the parachutes, are white to silver-white in color and around 6 mm wide. Plants typically have 24 or 40 pairs of chromosomes but some plants have 16 or 32 chromosomes.
The taxonomy of the genus Taraxacum is complicated by apomictic and polyploid lineages, and the taxonomy and nomenclatural situation of Taraxacum officinale is not yet fully resolved, The taxonomy of this genus has in been complicated by the recognition of numerous species,subspecies and microspecies. E.g. Rothmaler's flora of Germany recognizes roughly 70 microspecies. The plants introduced to North America are triploids that reproduce by obligate gametophytic apomixis Some authorities recognize three subspecies of Taraxacum officinale including:
Two of them have been introduced and established in Alaska and the third (ssp. ceratophorum ) is native there.
Taraxacum officinale L. (dandelion) is a vigorous weed in Europe with diploid sexual populations in the southern regions and partially overlapping populations of diploid sexuals and triploid or tetraploid apomicts in the central and northern regions. These European dandelions can be divided into two groups. The first group reproduces sexually as do most seed plants. This group consists of dandelions that have a diploid set of chromosomes, and are sexually self-incompatible. Sexual reproduction involves a reduction of the somatic chromosome number by meiosis followed by a restoration of the somatic chromosome number by fertilization. Diploid dandelions have eight pairs of chromosomes, and meiosis is regular with normal pairing of homologous chromosomes at the metaphase I stage of meiosis.
The second group consists of polyploid (mostly triploid) apomicts, meaning that both a viable embryo as well as a functional endosperm is formed without prior fertilization. In contrast to the sexual diploids, the pairing of chromosomes at metaphase I in triploid apomicts is strongly reduced. However pairing is still sufficient to allow some recombination between homologous chromosomes.
Taraxacum officinale has many English common names (of which some are no longer in use), including blowball, lion's-tooth, cankerwort, milk-witch, yellow-gowan, Irish daisy, monks-head, priest's-crown and puff-ball; other common names include, faceclock, pee-a-bed, wet-a-bed, swine's snout, white endive, and wild endive.
Carl Linnaeus named the species Leontodon Taraxacum in 1753. The genus name Taraxacum, possibly from the Arabic word "Tharakhchakon", or from the Greek word "Tarraxos". The common name "dandelion," comes from the French phrase "dent de lion" which means "lion's tooth", in reference to the jagged shaped foliage.
Taraxacum officinale is native to Europe and Asia, and was originally imported to America as a food crop. It is now naturalized throughout North America, southern Africa, South America, New Zealand, Australia, and India. It occurs in all 50 states of the USA and most Canadian provinces. It is considered a noxious weed in some jurisdictions, and is considered to be a nuisance in residential and recreational lawns in North America. It is also an important weed in agriculture and causes significant economic damage because of its infestation in many crops worldwide.
The dandelion is a common colonizer of disturbed habitats, both from wind blown seeds and seed germination from the seed bank. The seeds remain viable in the seed bank for many years, with one study showing germination after nine years. This species is a somewhat prolific seed producer, with 54 to 172 seeds produced per head, and a single plant can produce more than 5,000 seeds a year. It is estimated that more than 97,000,000 seeds/hectare could be produced yearly by a dense stand of dandelions. When released, the seeds can be spread by the wind up to several hundred meters from their source. The seeds are also a common contaminant in crop and forage seeds. The plants are adaptable to most soils and the seeds are not dependent on cold temperatures before they will germinate but they need to be within the top 2.5 cm (1 in) of soil.
While not in bloom, this species is sometimes confused with others, such as Chondrilla juncea, that have similar basal rosettes of foliage. Another plant, sometimes referred to as fall dandelion, is very similar to dandelion, but produces "yellow fields" later.
T. officinale has a fossil record that goes back to glacial and interglacial times in Europe.
While the dandelion is considered a weed by many gardeners and lawn owners, the plant has several culinary and medicinal uses. The specific name officinalis refers to its value as a medicinal herb, and is derived from the word opificina, later officina, meaning a workshop or pharmacy. The flowers are used to make dandelion wine, the greens are used in salads, the roots have been used to make a coffee substitute (when baked and ground into powder) and the plant was used by Native Americans as a food and medicine.
Dandelions are harvested from the wild or grown on a small scale as a leaf vegetable. The leaves (called dandelion greens) can be eaten cooked or raw in various forms, such as in soup or salad. They are probably closest in character to mustard greens. Usually the young leaves and unopened buds are eaten raw in salads, while older leaves are cooked. Raw leaves have a slightly bitter taste. Dandelion salad is often accompanied with hard boiled eggs. The leaves are high in beta-carotene, vitamin C and iron, carrying more iron and calcium than spinach.
Dandelion flowers can be used to make dandelion wine, for which there are many recipes. Most of these are more accurately described as "dandelion-flavored wine," as some other sort of fermented juice or extract serves as the main ingredient. It has also been used in a saison ale called Pissenlit (the French word for dandelion, literally meaning "wet the bed") made by Brasserie Fantôme in Belgium. Dandelion and burdock is a soft drink that has long been popular in the United Kingdom.
Another recipe using the plant is dandelion flower jam. In Silesia and also other parts of Poland and world, dandelion flowers are used to make a honey substitute syrup with added lemon (so-called May-honey). Ground roasted dandelion root can be used as a non-caffeinated coffee substitute.
Historically, dandelion was prized for a variety of medicinal properties, and it contains a wide number of pharmacologically active compounds. Dandelion contains flavonoids such as luteolin, apigenin and isoquercitrin (a quercetin-like compound), as well as caffeic and chlorogenic acid. Dandelion also contains terpenoids, triterpenes, and sesquiterpenes. Dandelion has been used as an herbal remedy in Europe, North America and China. "Empiric traditional application in humans of dandelion, in particular to treat digestive disorders, is supported by pharmacological investigations. ... Some results, e.g. concerning possible diuretic activity, are even contradictory and require a thorough reinvestigation."
It has been used in herbal medicine to treat infections, bile and liver problems, and as a diuretic. Dandelion root is a registered drug in Canada, sold principally as a diuretic. Dandelion is used in herbal medicine as a mild laxative, for increasing appetite, and as a plant bitter for improving digestion. The milky latex has been used as a mosquito repellent and as a folk remedy to treat warts. With very low or even no toxicity at all, T. officinale can be used as a drink like tea on a daily basis.
Yellow or green dye colors can be obtained from the flowers but little color can be obtained from the roots of the plant.
T. officinale is food for the caterpillars of several Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), such as the tortrix moth Celypha rufana. See also List of Lepidoptera that feed on dandelions.
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) has been linked to outbreaks of stringhalt in horses.

Remembering my team member John on September 11th 2017. I always think about what technologies or frameworks John would have mastered to promote for the business strategy. Most likely he would champion the notion of Microservices architecture since this is an in-demand concept in 2017. RIP John and I always will remember your contributions to Marsh (and Marsh & Mclennan) technology strategy.

It's hard to believe that its 15 years since I last saw John the evening of September 10th 2001 on the 95th floor of WTC1. However as members of Marsh's Enterprise Architecture team we always looked forward to the next day to work on projects that impacted the Marsh (and Marsh & McLennan Companies) global operations. John was an amazing colleague and always willing to share and give a helping hand when needed. John was also a spiritual and man of faith, these traits also had impact on his work colleagues. In John's memory we must alway keep our faith despite how challenging life may be.

It's been 11 years and one day since I last saw John at our office on the 95th floor of WTC #1. Our cubicles were next to each other and as Enterprise Architects, we shared knowledge related to our technology domain expertise. It was John who introduced me to the Java J2EE framework, software design patterns, Websphere and IONA application server" he was never selfish to share knowledge. But, I remember John the most from all the wonderful pictures he had displayed of his kids artwork in his cubicle and commitment to God. John will always be remembered.

John, I always think of what type of enterprise architecture initiative you would be leading each year based on industry trends. Certainly this year you would be researching and piloting the pros/cons of implementing an application via cloud computing. I am sure you would agree that the most interesting aspect of the Enterprise Architect job at Marsh was to manage the vendors who would try to sell solutions, aligning technology to the business needs and pitching ideas to Bernard M Craig H and stakeholders to provide funding. In the case of cloud computing, I know you would present a strong value proposition and benefits for the Marsh business operations. I enjoyed working with you!

It has been eight years since I last saw my former team member on September 10th 2001. However, I always think of John's leadership and technology expertise. I am sure John would be working on initiatives related to Cloud Computing and Web Services right now. But, John is always remembered for his commitment to family and God.

I never met John but from reading the tributes he was a good man, great friend and family man. The October after the 9/11 attacks I ran the St. George Marathon in Utah they passed out cards with the victims names on it to pin on your singlet to run with. I received John's name. Ever since that day every marathon that I run or grand canyon crossing that I do. I wear that card that has 2 American Flags and John's name on it. It reminds me of all the innocent victims lives that were taken. I pray for John and his family. I wish that I had the opportunity to meet John although running with him all these years it seems like I have known him forever. God Bless all the victims and their families.

It has been seven years since I last saw John on September 10, 2001 at the Marsh office at WTC1 95th floor. Myself and John were hired by Craig Hayashi in June 1998 and we were part of an unique team called the Enterprise Architecture Group. Our job was to be thought leaders in our respective technology domain of expertise and to help Marsh's (and MMC companies) senior level executives, business leaders and technology group understand how new technology solutions could be leveraged to support the business tactical and strategy goals. As a software architect, John led the team's initiative to exploit JAVA and was instrumental in establishing J2EE as the software architecure framework standard at Marsh. I can remember when John worked on the initiative to select an application server standard for Marsh. He was proactive in his efforts and had recommended the IONA application server (www.iona.com). Although his recommendation was turn down by senior management due to IBM's Websphere application server having greater marketshare, John led the efforts to establishing development standards leverage IBM's Websphere at Marsh. John had a strong commitment to his religion faith and family - his office was full of family photos and artwork drawn by his kids. In terms a colleague, John was always supportive of my initatives as Marsh's Data Warehouse Architect. John's family and friends should be proud to know that he made an impact on his colleagues at Marsh and always had a positive attitude and humble demeanor. John is always in my thoughts and he his missed. Regards, James L. Smith New York City

Hey john. I hope all is well where ever you are. My thoughts are especially with your family. I never met them, but I remember talking to you about them and how important they are to you. Your friend, Timothy

John, I still remember the day I came to your desk to help set up PC Anywhere for you and Jason Ma, since you were both new employees. I remember noticing a Promise Keepers calendar on your desk and I told you about my friend Jonathan Randall, who also worked with us at Marsh and how he also was involved with the Proise Keepers. Im proud of the fact that I was able to bring you two, kind, men of faith together. You were always a friendly and kind person. You are missed> With love, Michael

Until I read the tribute to John from Craig on this website, I knew nothing of John. The only thing I knew was that John G. Ueltzhoeffer was a victim in the World Trade Center on Sept.11th and that his name was randomly selected to be put on the memorial bracelet that I ordered from the internet. Everyday when I put that bracelt on, and every night when I take it off, I am reminded to pray for John's family and to pray for all the victims' families to be able to cope with the tragedy. I am also reminded of how fortunate I am to still have my family. Just having his name on my wrist keeps me praying everyday, and for that, I am thankful. To all who had the opportunity to know John should be thankful as well. God Bless!

During the time I got to know John, three important aspects to his life quickly came across – the pride he took in doing his job, his deep religious convictions, and his love for his family. John was a technical architect in the Marsh technology department so therefore had to have in-depth knowledge about the latest computer technologies. John was very knowledgeable in this subject area so quickly built up a high level of respect with his peers. I remember having many meetings and discussions with John on various technology issues. He would always speak with such enthusiasm and be so up to date with the latest technology developments that it made me make sure I was up to date with my readings just so I could keep up with him. Another aspect of John's life was his strong religious beliefs. It did not take long in talking with him for his faith in God to come across. I remember whenever we went out to lunch together how he would always take time to say a prayer before having lunch. In the time following John's passing, I've learnt more about this side of John and how involved he was with his church group and friends. This has further impressed me how John lived his life which such conviction. Most importantly, was John's love for his family. I remember two instances that typify this in John. The first was when he was on a business trip overseas in Europe. He had been gone for about a week and I remember talking to him on the Friday when he was set to come home. He mentioned how he had switched his flight to an earlier flight so he could get home earlier. He then said something to the effect of how hard it was for him to be away from his family. It was not the words that he said that I remember but the way he said it just underlined to me how much he missed them. The second was when a few of us were at lunch. Somehow the conversation turned to our families and John took a picture out of his wallet of him and his wife on their wedding day. One of the guys at lunch remarked how beautiful his wife was and how he thought she looked like a movie star. Upon hearing this John's face just lit up and you could see the happiness and love he felt. A few paragraphs of words obviously cannot do justice to capture all that John meant to his family and friends. In my own memories I'll remember John for the unassuming way in which he lived his life and how much of an impact he had on people around him.

So... this is what I did today...checking off a lot of items on my never ending garden do-to list:
#1. Cut the grass on my swampy lawn with the riding tractor. It might not sound like much but I was so afraid of getting the darn thing suck in the muck, and yes, it was a real fear and very likely. I did as much of it as I could without getting suck, but a lot of it was not done...just too, too wet and not worth the risk.
#2. Dug out some wonderful soil out of my finished compost pile. I was again afraid of getting suck in the unforgiving wet yard so I filled the cart only one third of the way to ensure it could make it up the hill.
#3. While in the back-40-- that's where I have the major compost piles-- I dug out a few daylilies which I was not aware I had back there anymore because I had dug them all out years ago to fill in the hill at the back of the pole barn. What I think happened is that when I dug out the plants the first time I must have left a few stray roots behind and in the ensuing years hence, they grew another plant. Pretty wild huh?
#4. I planted about a dozen shrubs by the work shop in an area which needed something so it didn't look so homely. I also planted a French Pussy Willow tree on top of a boulder which nobody could move--even with Tommy's toy-- so I made it a place for a tree.
#5. I taught Justin how to use the weed whacker...not sure he did it any better than I did, but it got him outside which is always good.
#6. I had Justin help me remove a massive entanglement of unwanted shrubs.* It's so much easier to do with a strong somebody. In truth I could not budge the darn things at all on my own! Justin was such a great helper.
#7. I replanted an ornamental Yoshino cheery tree which was growing somewhere it did NOT belong, into Tom's arboretum. Not sure it will survive as I do not believe I got all the roots out--it was tangled with two maple trees and a honeysuckle bush, but finger's crossed.
#8. I filled up a large pot with the shredded papers from my office and then topped it off with the lovely soil from the compost pile. I get rid of the paper, use less soil and have a lighter pot. Win-win-win.
#9. I planted several little rooted cuttings I had on my kitchen window sill. Then I added a few sunflower and zinnia seeds. It may look nice some day...hopefully before Jack Frost comes back.
#10. I did very little office work today, but I still had a few phone calls to take care of. In between garden chores I managed to set up two shipments with Fed Ex Freight, make the packing lists for both and even made an invoice for one and ran the credit card to boot.
Needless to say, I'm thoroughly exhausted and need to chill for a bit. It took all the energy I had left in me to write all this!
*Yes, I know. I plant shrubs in one place and remove them from another. The contradiction is insane, but necessary since they never plant themselves where I want them. They insist on growing where I don't want them!

CREVE COEUR, Mo. – The parents of a 9-month-old said a daycare teacher with a criminal record struck their child.
A lawsuit was filed Wednesday against KinderCare in Creve Coeur, alleging a teacher pounded so hard on their child that other teachers could hear it.
Inspectors from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services investigated the claim and concluded the child was bruised on her right shoulder blade on May 24.
Other teachers also reportedly told investigators the caregiver was too rough and that they could hear it through the walls in their classrooms.
The parents' attorney, Nicole Gorovsky, said she later found another problem with that teacher.
"I found that she actually pled guilty to an assault in 2015 in Arizona and then soon after that she moved here and then KinderCare, in doing their background check, only searched Missouri," Gorovsky said. "So it was a pretty useless background check because, with a person who recently moved here, nothing is going to show on an only Missouri background check."
A spokeswoman for KinderCare's corporate office in Portland, Oregon issued the following statement:
Although we have not yet been served with this lawsuit, as soon as we receive the paperwork we will respond to the suit appropriately.
At KinderCare, we work hard to provide every child with a safe, nurturing environment to learn and grow in. We take all concerns about children's safety seriously and follow a very specific protocol anytime a concern is raised. Part of that protocol includes reporting the concern to licensing and CPS and placing the teacher involved on administrative leave while we work with these agencies to look into the matter further.
The teacher involved in this matter no longer works for KinderCare.

It's nice to get above a city when you first arrive.
We arrived late at night, so the first thing in the morning we went grocery shopping in the open air market. Community planning through the city complete with columns from architect, Jože Plečnik, to give it some real foundation.
This was the first of many times now that I have seen chestnuts for sale by street vendors. It puts a great smell in the air and adds ambiance to the autumn market.
Like a moth to light we were drawn to our first gallery of an art-filled Ljubljana visit. This was an Exhibit at the City Art Gallery about challanging the art institutions in Eastern Bloc countries. Link Art was very tied to 'The State,' unlike in the US.
Culture Shutdown (link) was a response to the news that many BiH cultural institutions would have to shut their doors due to lack of funding. Many institutions around the world taped off one of their works as a protest.
In 2005, Ivan Moudov staged a the fake opening of a contemporary art museum aimed at drawing attention to the fact that their wasn't one. (youtube link)
Artist/Cartoonist Dan Perjovschi simple, brilliant illustrations. (link)
We heard music near our apartment and walked over to the river to see The Balkan Boys playing a free promotional concert. What a joy to discover.
Staircase up 'The Skyscraper' in Ljubljana
The Biennial of Graphic Arts was going on while we were in town. There was a large poster exhibition about the environment in the park. Is this city calling my name? (link)
Fake(?) logo for Genetic Farm. I thought it was brilliant. On one of the posters in the park for the Biennial.
Ljubljana twilight was beautiful.
One of those posters that usually gets voted up on Behance. This is for the Opera, whose logo is shining in the upper left corner.
One of the only pieces that caught our attention in the main exhibition of the Biennial was this hourglass illusion. It was pitch black except for this.
Metelkova is an autonomous collective in Ljubljana (link) Lots of music at night. Other than the building facades, I wish there was more to see during the day.
It looks like there is more work from Dan Perjovschi, on the facade of the Metelkova Museum of Contemporary Art
A friend's extended family that lives in Ljubljana was kind enough to show us what happens on All Saints Day. The entire country seems to be visiting the graves of loved ones and placing flowers and candles.
More work from Jože Plečnik at the cemetary (link)
There is a spot on the grounds of the cemetary where ashes can be spread. There is also a memorial to the homeless here. I have never seen anything like it before.
We were lucky to get shown the business of a Slovenian bee keeper. We got to see his hives and sample lots of unique honey and honey brandy.
Is the design of the Biennial graphic related to the Slovenian bee hive colors?
One cool thing about the Biennial was the incorperation of the design system in a few storefront windows. The colors of the Biennial mix in with merchandise in this clothing store. A really cool way to get the community involved with the event.

Crombie, John Eugene
Always known as Eugene, he was the son of John William Crombie, MP, of Balgownie Lodge, Aberdeen and Minna Crombie (daughter of the Rt Hon. Eugene Wason, MP for Clackmannan and Kinross). Born in London on 31st April 1896, he entered the School from Summerfields, Oxford, as an Exhibitioner; his letters home suggest he found the Winchester life very much to his taste. He loved music and was a member of Glee Club and Chapel choir. He also loved Gilbert and Sullivan operas and was thrilled to discover that one of the assistants in Wells Bookshop was a fellow enthusiast. He wrote to his mother recounting that he "had spent two hours down there the other day, quoting and singing at each other across the counter". He also joined the OTC and passed his Certificate A before leaving Winchester. He had intended to go up to Christ Church, Oxford to read History in October 1914 but as soon as the war came he applied for and obtained a commission in the 4th Battalion Gordon Highlanders, and left for the front in February 1915.
He wrote home saying "It's the greatest fun and we are all longing to be at 'em", However the reality of trench warfare soon changed his mind, although life was made more bearable by food parcels from home and he asked his mother to arrange for every man in his platoon to be supplied with 50 Woodbine cigarettes each week at his own expense.
He was wounded in April and after a period of light duties in England, rejoined his battalion in July. In October he was again invalided back to England, and underwent several operations. During his time in hospital he had met a VAD nurse, Louie Bulley, who shared his love of music and literature, and many of his letters were written to her. After serving for some time as an instructor at home, he went back to the front in November 1916 to rejoin his battalion, being given command of B Company. He wrote home: "Responsibility is a real thing here, where there are a hundred different ways of chucking men's lives away if you are not up to the job". In December 1916 he wrote a poem, posthumously published in the Wykehamist, entitled "The Mist". He became increasingly disillusioned and in his many letters home he questioned the morality of the war. In a letter to Louie in December 1916 he said that "the war is now out of all proportion to the object".
He was promoted to Captain early in April 1917 and on the eve of the Arras offensive, on 8th April, he wrote the poem "Easter Day 1917 – The Eve of Battle".
He was hit by a splinter from a shell on 23rd April 1917 during an attack on the Roeux chemical works during the Battle of Arras, and died at a Casualty Clearing Station the same day.
In the Wykehamist of June 1917 there appeared the following notice: John Eugene Crombie, Captain, 4th Battalion, Gordon Highlanders, born April 30th 1896; fell in battle April 23rd 1917. Took his fill of music, joy of thought, and seeing / Came, and stayed, and went, nor ever ceased to smile."

What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic's wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic's highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country's most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.
From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths—until the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family's survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias's death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.
Full of nonstop action, suspense, and romance, this novel is sure to move readers as much as it thrills
Full of nonstop action, suspense, and romance, this novel is sure to move readers as much as it thrills
I was super excited to read Legend. I've been meaning to for months now and finally got around to it. And I'm so glad I did.
Hands down, this book was fantastic. The concept of infamous-criminal-teams-up-with-military-spy gave me goosebumps. According to the back cover, Les Miserables was the inspiration for this epic dystopian, which just made me love it even more.
Lu crafted her dystopian right- meaning, uniquely. I've read a vast amount of this genre recently, and I can't begin to tell you how similar dystopian worlds become. But the Republic in Legend was different from any setting I've read. Post-apocalyptic, but not completely destroyed. And I loved how Lu picked Los Angles as her setting- somewhere the readers can relate to, imagine, and have a connection with. Though I've never been to LA, readers who have visited (or even live there) can get a better image of how this city has changed due to rough times and government control/oppression.
I have to say, June is now my favorite butt-kick heroine. She's tough and independent, but not to the point of acting like she doesn't need anyone or their help. She's vulnerable at parts (Metias's death, for example) and I like that about her. Day's character was awesome, too, but didn't stand out as much for me. First of all, he seemed to preoccupied with his family. I needed to be more convinced of him as a criminal rather than Robin Hood (playing harmless pranks, giving food and money to the poor, etc). But I can't complain. Day was brave. He didn't fear death, even when it looked him in the eye. Even when he didn't deserve it.
An issue that must be address: I adore this book to pieces, but it has a bad case of insta-love, I'm afraid. June and Day just…fall for each other. Without much reason. That's kind of what love is like, I suppose, but I reallllly wasn't convinced in this case. Thankfully, the romance doesn't dominate the whole book, and the relationship between Day and June does get better in the end, in my opinion, but their relationship while in the street together just doesn't quite hit the mark.
As a side note, the sacrifice that Day's brother John makes for him at the end reminded me of the sacrifice made at the very end of A Tale of Two Cities. I love how Lu brought in that connection with classic literature into her very modern and futuristic dystopian thriller. It might just be what I love best about Legend. I truly believe it is.
In conclusion, Legend was amazing. I give it five US quarter heart pendants out of five (readers of Legend will get this…for everyone else, don't expect me to explain. Read the book yourself, silly.). The end is especially gripping, and doesn't leave you too much of a cliffhanger, thankfully. This is definitely one I'll remember for a while.
Quick Content Review: *may contain spoilers*
Language: Mild (two or three h-words, one or two d-words)
Violence: Heavy (Kind of reminded me of the violence in Divergent- not sugar coated in the least. The kind of violence in Legend, though, had a World War II feel to it- gassings, firing squad executions, etc. Anyhow, there is too much content to go into detail about, so I'll just leave it at this: Lu, like Roth, doesn't sugar coat it. She doesn't insinuate. It's right there on the page.)
Sexual: Mild (one or two kisses and nothing else that I can remember)

Focus Groups are considered a Qualitative methodology although we do use measurement tools and statistical analyses when "testing" concepts, creative, and product characteristics. These measurements are quite useful; however, we are quick to point out that they are not used to make statistical inferences about the population. In this sense, these measurement are more akin to experimental design.
Unlike a Survey in which we can pretest our questionnaire, start when we're ready, or suspend interviewing to address issues, once the Focus Group is scheduled and the recruiting has begun, it's "show time" and we want to be prepared to take full advantage of this powerful research tool.
Researchers use variations of the basic focus group configuration to meet specific research needs, including length of groups, number of respondents, and a more experimental environment such as usability studies.
Setting up focus group sessions requires discipline in assuring all elements are ready to go before recruiting respondents to a focus group facility on a certain date. There is a sizable financial responsibility in terms of reserving space ($500 to $700 per group), cost of recruiting ($100 to $150 per respondent), honorarium paid to each respondent ($100 to $150 per respondent), plus other incidental expenses. At a minimum, the cost per group is about $3500 for facility-related expenses, not including the moderator, analyses, transcriptions, and other expenses.
Before recruiting can begin, the following must be set in place—
We typically recruit 14 respondents for 8-10 to show for each group. "Show rate" can be influenced by any number of conditions, including weather, competing events, time of day, and personal reasons.
While the above outlines a typical Focus Group, there are variations that also serve special needs—

Construction Site Hoardings
Looking for a signage company to take over your construction site hoardings design…
We offer a free site survey service across the UK on all new projects.
Let Lavastar take away the stress of applying for planning permission on your printed hoardings or building wraps.
Lavastar have an experienced in house graphic design team. Removing the need for you to use an external design agency to design your signage.
Lavastar manufacture the large majority of our signage in house at our head office in Hampshire.
Our install team all hold CSCS cards. Lavastar is CHAS approved and fully insured giving you the client total peace of mind.
If your signage needs update or repairs our in house sign maintenance team will be here to help.
There is a less glamorous side to even the most exclusive bespoke site hoardings and it is the wooden construction site fencing which supports it. A solid foundation however, is the key to a truly premium finish and makes the printed hoarding panels look even better once installed. As with all aspects of our business, Lavastar believe in offering a complete service which is why we are always happy to quote for the installation of a wooden Site Hoarding too. We are experts in our field and we offer free site surveys plus a whole host of optional extras such as painting, installation of gates and installation of lights if required.
With every site hoarding we install, Lavastar will come out and conduct a comprehensive site survey. This allows us to check the ground for services, take accurate meterages and assess the best fixing method for the hoarding's supports. Our site surveys are carried out absolutely free of charge as they are essential for us to be able to offer an accurate quotation. If you require wind loading diagrams however, these start from £500 but this is a service which we strongly recommend you request as there can be no price put on people's safety.
An in-ground construction site hoarding is where the hoarding's upright supports are dug and cemented into the ground. A wooden framework is then built off these supports and cladded in plywood sheets. This type of construction site fencing is ideal for more rural areas where the ground is free of services as it is more cost effective than an on-ground site hoarding. All of our construction site hoardings are built using high quality wood which is sure to withstand any poor weather conditions. However, we do recommend painting a hoarding which will not eventually be clad in printed hoarding panels to further protect the wood from the elements.
An on-ground construction site hoarding is where the hoarding's upright supports are secured to weighted concrete blocks which are positioned every 2.4 meters around the hoarding's perimeter. These counter weight blocks are installed using a Hiab truck and do not interfere with the ground in any way. on-ground site hoardings are more suitable for use in city centres and other urban areas where services run everywhere and the ground cannot simply be dug up.
All our installers carry CSCS cards
CHAS accredited
Approved members of the BSGA
Fully insured

Site hoarding services Lavastar offer
Hoarding survey
Survey - Lavastar offer free site surveys with every construction site hoarding we install. This allows us to take measurements, check for services, decide on the appropriate fixing method and offer the most accurate quote possible.
Installation of hoarding
Install - Lavastar install all of our own site hoardings. Whether this is an on-ground or an In-ground hoarding, our skilled and CSCS certified teams can work day or night to get the job done to an industry leading standard.
Wind loading diagrams and calculations
Wind loadings - Although not essential, we highly recommend you opt for our wind loading safety diagrams. Starting from £500 they give peace of mind and adhere to the strictest health and safety and insurance requirements.
Site hoarding painting
Painting - Lavastar would always recommend painting a construction site hoarding which is not going to be clad in aluminium composite panels. This is because the paint helps to seal the wood from the elements and preserve it for longer.
Installation of iron mesh site gates
Iron gates - Lavastar can supply and install iron mesh gates creating easy vehicle or pedestrian access into your site. Site hoarding gates are installed at the same time as the wooden construction site fencing.
Installation of LED bulkhead lights
Lighting - Some form of lighting is often a health and safety requirement for construction sites with hoardings in place. Our fully qualified electricians can make quick work of this using energy saving LED bulkhead lights.
Temporary site fencing are commonplace when a construction site is at the very beginning or end of its development. A temporary site hoarding is a cost-effective solution which sits on the ground and offers moderate site security whilst remaining mobile if necessary. Heras fencing is another alternative which may be more suitable to screen off an area temporarily. Lavastar can brand these fencing panels up with mesh printed banners to ensure your site is still getting the relevant message out to passers by.
Who We Work For & What They Say
The team have a fantastic knowledge of product and have always delivered when it comes to meeting deadlines. They will always aim to make the clients life as easy as possible.
The print has always been to high standard and we have used many suppliers in the past who have always managed to get it wrong and its great to have so much trust in Lavastar to get it spot on.
We found Lavastar proactive and ambitious in meeting our tight deadlines and would be more than happy to use them on future projects.
Lavastar are currently the only UK based company who will carry out the survey, planning, erection of timber hoarding, design, print and installation of graphic hoardings in house. We offer this because not only will it make your life easy but project timescales with be massively reduced.

If you hate the idea of being caught in the summer shower with a woodstock air gun, you gonna love the Benjamin Trail NP .22. This rifle is a nice combination of remarkable technology with a durable stock that's impervious to all kind of bad weather. It also has potential to become your most favorite air gun for years.
Table of Contents
Gun Type
The Benjamin Trail NP is powered by Nitro piston technology. A nitro piston gun (or gas piston) works the same as the spring gun but it has a nitrogen-filled cylinder instead of a metal spring. The air in the cylinder is already compressed and you apply more pressure to it when you cock the gun. The pressurized air is kept under tension until you pull the trigger. When you fire, the pellet is pushed downrange the barrel due to propellant force from compressed air. Nitro piston rifle is lighter and last longer than the spring gun. Besides, it produces less recoil and easier to cock. Furthermore, it can be left cocked for days because there is no spring fatigue. Read more about nitro piston technology in this post to see how it can take your gun sport to the whole new level.
The caliber (the internal diameter of the bore, measured in inches) is .22 (5.5 millimeters.). .22 is the king of hunting and is the go-to caliber for hunters and pest eliminator. Besides, this gun is single-shot, break barrel gun so you can only shoot one shot at a time. After first shot, you have to break the barrel to manually reload the pellet. Singe-shot gun makes you discipline shooter : you have to make your first shot count since you have only 1 chance to hit the animal target or it will run away laughing at your face when you are still busy with the reloading action.
The barrel is rifled with helical groove inside the bore to make a pellet spin. Spin stabilizes bullet, improves accuracy and enhances shooting range. Furthermore, the barrel is shrouded barrel: it has a jacket enclosing the barrel and containing the violent release of compressed air from the muzzle. It lets the pellet escape but forces the air to use up as much of its energy before it leaves the shroud, thus reducing the audible report and you will have a quiet gun to enjoy.
The stock is black synthetic. Unlike wood stock which is heavy and easily affected by weather, synthetic stock is lighter and works perfectly in any outside condition. Additionally, modern synthetic stock is robust, durable and easy to stand up rigor of the field use so it's best for hunters who go hunting on the field a lot and for pest eliminators who live in fickle weather.
This gun has a thumbhole in the stock so it provides more relaxed grip on your wrist by resting the stock on your wrist as opposing to holding up the stock with your hand. Thumbhole stock is best for hunters and for shooters who spend lots of time on shooting position such as bench rest shooting.
This stock has twin raised cheekpieces in both left side and right side of the gun. Raised cheekpieces give you firm control in shooting. Furthermore, it has textured grip and forearm to add friction to your hands when shooting, prevent slippage from shooter's sweat, and increase stability when aiming.
The sling swivel stud is already mounted so you can put the sling on it anytime you need to carry the gun to the hunting field
This gun uses .22 pellets as its only source of ammunition. While .177 is lighter and sometimes doesn't deliver enough knockdown power to kill humanely, .22 pellet is heavier, more stable on its trajectory and delivers enough energy to finish the job in one clean shot. Thus .22 caliber is your best bet when hunting or eliminating pest.
Cocking and Loading
Cocking the gun: First put the gun ON SAFE, point the gun in safe direction, hold the gun near your body and firmly tap the muzzle end to open the breach. Next, let the gun rest on your upper thigh and grasp the muzzle tip. Continue to pull the barrel down to its limitation to perform cocking action.
Loading the pellet: With the breech is opened after cocking, put the pellet (with the pellet's nose lying forward) into the breech. The pull the barrel up to its original position until it locks and you are ready to fire.
Velocity, Accuracy and Power
The Benjamin Trail NP shoots up to 950 FPS (feet per second) with alloy pellet and up to 800 FPS with lead pellet. This is high-end velocity compared to other .22 air gun on the market and it allows you to hunt or drop pest at long-range distance.
For this air rifle, various shooting tests have been conducted by different shooters with positive results. At 10 yards, Benjamin Trail NP delivers 1" group with Crosman domed pellet 14.3 grains ultra magnum and 3/4" with Crosman Destroyer 14.3 grains. At 20 yards, it provides 3/4" with H&N hollow point 12.65 grains, less than 1" with Crosman pointed hunting pellet, less than 1 " with Beeman FTS 14.72 grains, less than 1" with H&N field target trophy 14.66 grains, less than 1" with Beeman Crow Magnum 18.21 grains. Also, the common shooting groups are: 1/2" at 30 yards, 1" at 25 yards, 1/2" at 30 yards, 1/4" at 50 yards, less than 2" at 35 yards, 1/4" at 30 yards, 1" at 10 yards, 1" at 30 yards, 3/4" at 20 yards, 1" at 50 feet, 1/4" at 30 yards, 1/4" at 20 yard, 1" at 20 yards, 1/2″ at 50 yards, 1/4" at 25 yards, 1/4" at 30 yards, dime size at 30 feet, 3/8 at 25 yard and 1/2" at 40 yards. Some people can even manage to get zero at 50 yards, hit ceramic doll and soda can at 100 yards, zero at 30 yards, dime size at 40 yards and less than 1 " at 75 yards. As you can see, this gun is an awesome tack driver with shooting range up to 100 yards.
But does Benjamin Trail NP has enough knockdown power for pest control and small game hunting? Well, shooters report that they drop starling at 90 yards, hit a squirrel at 75 yards, take down a squirrel at 80 yard, drop squirrel at 40 yards, take out a coon at 32 yards, kill bird at 50 yards, take squirrel at 65 yards and hit chickadee at 50 yards. Some people already kill 50 squirrels in just 2 hours. This rifle is the powerhouse you can trust to go hunting with or do pest control in the backyard.
This gun doesn't have an open sight: No front sight, no rear sight. But you don't need iron sight since Crosman has installed an awesome 3-9×40 AO scope on it with mil-dot reticle so you can take comfort in knowing that your accuracy is ensured.
With the Nitro piston Technology, Benjamin Trail NP produces minimum audible output. It has hundreds of customer reviews without a single complaint about noise so you can shoot in town without disturbing your neighbors .
Shooting range and intended use
The effective shooting range for Benjamin Trail NP is up to 50 yards. You can use this gun for target shooting, plinking, pest control and small game hunting.
The accessories include the Weaver-style rings and unmounted 3-9×40 AO Centerpoint Scope.
Benjamin Trail NP requires very little maintenance: Just apply few drops of Crosman RMCOIL every few hundred shots into the compression chamber, use cloth to clean the external metal parts and you are fine.

Customer Reviews
There are plenty of reviews on this nitro piston gun. Positive reviews show that people love it for its high-tech feature, high velocity, awesome power, extreme accuracy, and sophisticated design. On the other hand, there are some negative reviews people complain about the trigger. They say it takes too long to pull and make them feel uncomfortable. This problem can be solved in 2 ways: The first is you take some time to get used to it and practice properly shooting techniques. The second is you can buy an aftermarket trigger to replace with this one.
- Awesome accuracy
- Superb knockdown power
- Durable stock with lots of amazing features
- Great scope
- Fantastic design
- Advanced technology
- Quiet and recoilless
- Easy to cock and simple to use
- Made in China
- Trigger takes too long to pull (take sometimes to get used to or can be replaced with aftermarket trigger)
The Benjamin Trail NP is only about $200. It's very cheap if you consider lots of great features and technology this gun offers. I'm sure you can get a high-end rifle to do the same job but it will cost anywhere from $500 to $2000.
There are a couple of different listings on Amazon with different prices but the listing I found with the lowest price is even cheaper than the prices on other e-commercial sites like PyramydAir, Walmart, AirgunDepot.
Benjamin Trail NP .22 has all you need for a successful hunting day. It's quiet, powerful, accurate, recoilless and functions perfectly under any kind of weather. I strongly recommend it for pest eliminators who want to get rid of those irritating critters in their back yard and for hunters who want to get a field companion they can trust for years.

February 6, 2008 at 10:26 pm #67452
Hi everyone! I don't if anyone here still remembers me, but I have been hoping to see JE since 2001 when my mom passed. I was just telling my husband the other day how he was going to be in Las Vegas and said "I wish he would come to NJ!". Well today I got an email from the Count Basie Theater that said he will be there in April!!! I thought wow, this has to be a sign! I got my tickets!!! OMG I am soooo excited!!:banana: He will be doing a book signing also! I don't know if I will get a reading, but it will be exciting enough just to BE THERE and seeing other people get read!
I told my husband he is going to have to sedate me so I can sleep the night before lol!February 7, 2008 at 12:12 am #120468
Wow thanks for the heads up!!!! That is soooo close to my house!! Count Basie is a great venue!!! Even Bon Jovi has performed there!! Red Bank is such a fabulous town!! This is so exciting!! I will definitely have to look into that! I haven't seen John in a few years. Is the book signing for a new book or for his old books? Thanks again for the heads up!!!:clap:February 7, 2008 at 12:31 am #120469
I just looked on Count Basie's website: http://www.countbasietheatre.org
John Edward with special guest Char Margolis
presented by The Joan Dancy and People with ALS (PALS) Support Group
Tickets: $300, $200, $100
Internationally acclaimed psychic-medium, television host and author, John Edward has captivated audiences with his deeply compelling, incomparable talent.
World-renowned psychic-intuitive, popular television guest and author, Char Margolis consistently amazes millions with her unique abilities.
The $300 ticket includes one hour pre-show reception and book signing with both artists.
The date is Tues April 29 at 7:30pm. Not quite sure if I can make it there since I'll be at school.
Red Bank is Exit 109 off the Garden State Parkway. The venue is also easily accessible through NJ Transit on the North Jersey Coast Line trains because the train station is very close to the venue. If anyone wants any other info about the area, feel free to private message me or e-mail me! Red Bank is practically my second home. I know of some great restaurants really close to Count Basie too. And the best beaches in Jersey are quite close to Red Bank too!! ;) (My favorite Metaphysical store, Earth Spirit, is also on Monmouth street.) :)
AmyFebruary 7, 2008 at 2:02 am #120447
I'm so glad Amy! It's close to me too. I am just about 30 minutes away. We have seen a few things there. Red Bank is my absolute favorite town!!! :D
I was so excited I didn't even read it fully. I was in a daze and just grabbed the best seats I could for the $200 each lol. Fine by me though. Just to be in the room while he does his readings is enough for me! :)April 30, 2008 at 7:55 pm #121873
Well I saw JE last night and all I can say is INCREDIBLE!!!!! He was dead on (no pun intended) with everything. Even my skeptikal husband was impressed and said he is definitely more of a believer now. JE's humor even impressed him. He said he was funnier than most comedians.
I must admit I was star struck for the first few minutes when he came out on stage (I was up in the 4th row). Then when he started the readings I was just completely in awe. He even ended up reuniting two women in the audience that hadn't seen eachother for about 20 years. He made a joke that was something like "See, I don't only reunite the living and the dead, but the living and the living too."
No, I didn't get read, but that was okay with me. I would have gotten a horrible bout of psychic amnesia as nervous as I would be!
Were you there Amy Rose?June 1, 2008 at 7:11 pm #122025
Sounds like you had a fabulous experience Kerrbear!!!
No, I did not attend–I ended up not getting tickets because the timing was bad for me–the end of the semester is the most hectic time of the month, and that was during peak stress time with deadlines for projects, papers and final exams. It just wasn't in the cards for me. I'm happy for you that you had a great experience!! :)
How was Char? I would have loved to have seen her. I think I saw her once on CNN with Larry King and she seemed like a really cool person.June 11, 2008 at 12:14 pm #122059
Char does seem like a really cool person, but I wasn't as impressed with her. Her questions and answers seemed on the generic side. John, however, was right on. Seeing him on tv is great, but I can't explain how amazing he is live. The feeling in the room itself was incredible also. I felt a sense of unity with the rest of the audience.

Malaysia growth quickens in pick-up that may already be waning
[KUALA LUMPUR] Amid a sliding currency and a flirtation with default by its state investment company, Malaysia got some good news Thursday: its economy unexpectedly accelerated last quarter.
The bad news: the pickup probably won't last.
Gross domestic product rose 5.8 per cent in the three months through December from a year earlier, after climbing 5.6 per cent in the third quarter, the central bank said in Kuala Lumpur today. That beat all estimates in a Bloomberg News survey of 22 economists where the median was for a 5 per cent increase. The economy grew 6 per cent in 2014.
Private consumption and investment have supported expansion in the Southeast Asian nation, even as the commodity producer's exports slow. Crude prices at half the level of a year ago are curbing revenue and forcing the government to cut spending, with Prime Minister Najib Razak saying in January growth may be weaker than initially estimated in 2015.
"Despite today's upside surprise, we remain cautious on the 2015 outlook, and a slowdown in economic activity remains our base case," said Lim Su Sian, an economist at HSBC Holdings Plc in Singapore. "The slump in oil prices is also likely to have a more pronounced impact on exports going forward." Ringgit Falls The currency has fallen about 3.5 per cent against the US dollar this year, one of the two worst performers among major Asian currencies tracked by Bloomberg. The ringgit slid to 3.6375 on Jan 29, the weakest level since April 2009, data compiled by Bloomberg show. It extended declines today.
The economy is projected to expand 4.5 per cent to 5.5 per cent this year, Najib said Jan 20, compared with an earlier forecast of as much as 6 per cent growth. The central bank left its benchmark interest rate unchanged for a third straight meeting in January.
"The Malaysian economy is expected to remain on a steady growth path," the central bank said today. "The gradual recovery in global growth will lend support to manufactured export performance, although overall export growth would likely remain modest amid lower commodity prices." Inflation this year will be between 2.5 per cent and 3.5 per cent, central bank Governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz said last month. The government in October projected consumer price gains would average 4 per cent to 5 per cent this year.
While a new consumption tax of 6 per cent is set to start in April, price pressures may be limited as the government yesterday announced lower electricity tariffs from March for businesses and some consumers.
State-owned investment company 1Malaysia Development Bhd hadn't been able to repay a 2 billion ringgit (US$552 million) loan owed to Malayan Banking Bhd. and four other lenders since November, the Edge newspaper reported Jan 6. It was given a third 30-day extension last month and the debt will come due at the end of February, people familiar with the matter said Jan 27.

What if every emotion is legitimate, and there's no such thing as coincidence?
In essence I believe this is the writer's mindset. As a writer struggles to find the words to tell a story, this is really what they are struggling with. In a fictional world, every emotion expressed has some kind of legitimacy, or the writer wouldn't include it. And if there's a coincidence that doesn't pay off, a reader will feel robbed. Easy enough in fiction, but what about in real life?
In hard sciences, like physics, we are taught that coincidences should be treated as random and unconnected events until proven otherwise. But does this hold true for the human (soft) sciences or human interactions? If two things happen, should we ignore the implications and wait for proof that the reality they point to is real? What if the 'heart' somehow knows the truth when it comes to human interactions, and we spend a whole bunch of time denying it or not believing it because the coincidences and emotions point to something unbelievable, overwhelming, or even scary? Are we rationalizing the reality because we don't want to 'see' it? The hard sciences and the soft sciences are different in this regard because with human interactions emotions and gut feelings are part of the process.
I remembering when studying writing and communication theory, there was an idea that communication between two people can only happen through stereotypes and archetypes. Writing and storytelling is the process of presenting a series of stereotypes, one after another, until enough information creates a shift where the stereotypes collapse and a more fluid picture emerges. The way this applies to getting to know people is that a point comes where another person stops being a rocklike "stereotype" and becomes more fluid, like a river. The people who "get" us are ones who think the most like us—we get fluid with them a lot faster because we've known their type before. I suppose it's the same with people who become a nemesis, we fill in the blanks with bad things that have been done to us by other people.
When I get stuck in rationalization mode, I know that I am not letting the coincidences speak to me, and I am shutting down my emotions. In the long run though, it's always better to accept the unbelievable and deal with the scary. I inevitably end up wishing I had listened to myself sooner and trusted my intuition.
If we take this idea of the writer's mindset as true — every emotion is legitimate, and there's no such thing as coincidence — then our whole approach to life changes. We begin to look for ways that everything fits together and makes sense rather than casting off pieces or suppressing emotions that don't seem to fit somehow. With this approach, we can move beyond the stagnation of stereotyping and get to a place of being more fluid. Sounds easy enough, but it's not easy because we run into 'uptight' people who practice the shadow arts. We run into The Writer's Nemesis…false attachment.

We work with small, medium and large process and discrete manufacturing companies throughout Australia.
We draw on our unique body of knowledge and experience to apply industry leading technology systems to help deliver our clients' corporate goals.
Our clients come from many different industries, each with their specialist needs. From the world of laboratories, bio security and bio containment, to large dairy and food process facilities, and niche, even artisan operations where automation technology may be being introduced for the very first time. An eclectic mix of clients!
A common theme exists however as we find our clients tend to be people who hold high aspirations for themselves and their business. They understand where they want to be and invite us to bring our expertise to the table to help them get there.
Current, real world expertise in a specialist field by definition must be kept up to date. At ICT this is achieved by virtue of all staff, even the Managing Director, maintaining an implementation practice alongside their consultancy role. Consultancy services are thus grounded with "real world" implementation experience and practical day to day exposure to the latest technology.
For us, the question is not what services we can provide but rather – is there a logical fit between our expertise and your need.
Needs may be at strategic or a project/production level such as:
- Assistance in a fast changing technical world to understand what automation technology is available, how it could be used and whether it is a practical and affordable solution for your enterprise.
- Wanting to have more certainty over your processes.
- Wanting more relevant process data on which to base your decisions.
- Wanting help to improve the safety and productivity of production staff.
- Wanting help to assess the likely ROI from your planned technology spend.
If any of the above strikes a chord with you then we will be a good fit.
Our work is to help realise our clients' competitive advantage through technology and therefore we generally don't publish detailed case studies or publicise companies we work with.
We acknowledge however that client references are important. We encourage you to call us and we will be happy to supply you with approved client references appropriate to your specific areas of interest.

Monday, February 19thPIC is coming together finally. It will be a show. Now we just need to sell some tickets. Usually we sell out well in advance. This year, they're not moving like they usually do. The Capitol Steps are in town this weekend and that may be taking some of the usual crowd. Maybe it's something in the water.
Tommy has not been feeling well and seems to be settling into bronchitis which is making him miserable. It hasn't hit me yet and I'm hoping it stays away through the performances this weekend. I can get sick next week if I have to.
Hasn't been a whole lot else going on around our house the last couple of weeks. Did get out to the national tour of 'Spelling Bee' which was cute, but not all that and to a friend's one man production of Bogosian's 'Funhouse' which was better than I expected.
Nothing too exciting on for the next few weeks. March gets more interesting with having to zoom to Nashville, Cincinatti and West Virginia for various reasons.

Protesters took to the streets in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh on Wednesday following the deaths of over a dozen women who took part in a government sterilization drive.
Eighty-three women had tubectomy operations on Saturday in what media reports describe as a sterilization camp in Bilaspur. The government paid each woman $23 to have the procedure. The surgeries were all performed by one doctor within a six-hour period, beyond the government limit of 30 operations in a day. His license to practice has been suspended pending an investigation.
Ramavtar Suryavanshi, whose 35-year-old wife was among those operated on, told Reuters, "The entire night she was in tremendous pain." He took her to a private hospital the following morning but she died shortly after being admitted to intensive care.
Scores of women feel ill after their surgeries, and others met the same fate Suryavanshi's wife; media reports indicate that at least 10 other women also died after the procedure at the same camp, and over 60 remain hospitalized, several of whom are in critical condition.
Another woman died after a tubectomy at a separate sterilization camp, also in Bilaspur, where a different doctor operated.
BBC News reports: "The victims' families, all from poor families, have each been promised a compensation of about $6,600."
A doctor at one of the hospitals where the injured were taken told the Associated Press their "condition is very serious. Blood pressure is low."

Though the cause of deaths won't be known until autopsies are done, state deputy health director Amar Singh said the apparent cause was blood poisoning or hemorrhagic shock, according to AP.
Chief Minister Raman Singh charged that the deaths were the result of doctors' negligence. Reuters adds:
The cause of the deaths was not clear, but officials said victims showed signs of toxic shock, possibly because of dirty equipment or contaminated medicines. A hospital official said that some of survivors may be suffering kidney problems.
"Preliminary reports show that the medicines administered were spurious and also the equipment used was rusted," senior local government official Siddharth Komal Singh Pardeshi told Reuters.
Questions are emerging around whether there are sterilization target numbers for the state, a practice that Human Rights Watch and reproductive rights groups have said is harmful to women.
Kerry McBroom, a New Delhi-based advocate with the Human Rights Law Network, told CNN: "The entire system is geared towards funding women towards sterilization."
