What is Construction Law?
Construction Law
As a result of the potential for such issues, construction law has become a very important part of most people's lives in America, even if they don't realize it. Construction law deals with issues surrounding the construction industry, but it also affects homeowners, businesses and more. For instance, if you own a home and it has defects in its construction that may endanger you and your family, you may have a basis to sue the contractor who was involved in the home's construction. In cases such as these, construction law acts as a protection for the rights of those who are or may become injured as a result of construction errors.
For Contractors
Construction law also acts as a protector of the rights of contractors. According to construction attorneys Canfield, Madden & Ruggiero, in some circumstances even though everything was done correctly in the process of building a home or business structure, a tenant may claim that workmanship on the part of a contractor resulted in injury (even if the injury was the fault of the tenant). In such cases, construction law professionals can examine the claims and determine if the tenant is being truthful, thus protecting the contractor.
How Construction Law is Used
Like other legal constructs, construction law cases typically play out before a judge and sometimes a jury. In other cases, however, a settlement may be made between a tenant and a contractor through the use of an attorney. Construction law cases often require experts to be used to determine whether any fault lies with any party involved, and thorough inspections must be done in order to prove this. Construction law may also pertain itself with other laws regarding safety on a particular job site or methods used by employees or a particular contractor when completing a building project.
Concerned About a Construction Project?
If you're currently concerned about a building project that you think may have harmed you or your family, or if you're concerned about protecting yourself against the possibility of injury due to a construction project, you may want to seek out the services of a construction lawyer. Construction lawyers are often the best professionals to partner with when faced with construction concerns, and these individuals can help you to find peace of mind during and after the work is done.
Beyond a Lawsuit
Construction lawyers can also help you to decide what legal terms need to be entered into a contract when building a new home or business. Construction lawyers can meet with you and your builder to give you a real-world view of the potential for dangers involved in such a contract, and your construction lawyer can also represent your interests during any negotiations.
Finally, if you're planning to have any work done to your home or business, it would be a good idea to look into services offered by organizations such as the Better Business Bureau regarding the contractor or contractors you're considering hiring. Keep in mind that a little bit of time spent researching may help you to avoid a costly legal battle in the future.

He was about to turn away when he noticed a car racing at speed in his direction. It was about three blocks away and it was lurching and swerving through the mid-afternoon traffic scattering pedestrians and almost causing a couple of collisions. Faintly, behind the car, he could hear a police siren blaring. Crazy bastard, thought Jack. He glanced across to where he could still see Kerry approaching the crossing, waiting and starting to cross. The crowd seemed to melt away for some inexplicable reason leaving Kerry walking slowly across the road, unable to move quickly. Jack looked back up the street, through the fumes and crowds. The maniac car was picking up even more speed, screeching towards the intersection. Jack suddenly felt nervous.
Later, he remembered what happened as if it had been a slow motion replay. Every micro second was engraved on his memory circuits. The crowd was scattering before the oncoming sedan.
As the car approached the intersection, it swerved towards the crossing, screeching on two wheels as if the driver had made a sudden late decision. Kerry Madigan had no chance. She didn't even have time to look up before the car hit her and knocked her ten feet into the air and across the street onto the bonnet of an oncoming car. The killer car swerved and piled straight into the plate glass window of a fashion store.
Ernie Mason saw the woman too late. Instinctively he swerved just as he felt the impact of her body hitting the front fender. He fought for control, but lost it completely. He saw a window before him. He saw faces. He heard screams. Then he felt pain. Then he felt nothing. The voices were receding away down a long dark tunnel.
Jack stood motionless as though an ice pick was pinning him to the ground piercing his brain and freezing his blood. His vocal chords were paralyzed. He saw the crowd forming around the incident. He heard the sirens mixed with the screams of the crowd. With a huge effort he got his feet moving, slowly at first then, then carrying him screaming across the street, bulldozing his way through the crowd.
His scream seemed to come from somewhere so deep inside, it was outside, like from some other dimension. He seemed to be screaming in one continuous breath as though it would never ever end.
Kerry was still alive. Jack was fighting his way through the crowd. Scuffles broke out as curious onlookers battled to get the best view. He reached her and fell on his knees by her side.
He touched her face where a trickle of blood was running along her cheek. She moaned slightly. There was blood on the road and her body was twisted into a grotesque shape. Jack didn't hear but voices were yelling,
"He's dead, that crazy bastard's dead," from the direction of the smashed car.
Ernie Mason was killed instantly. No one would mourn him. He would become another New York statistic. Across the street among the crowd, Jack was screaming incoherently.
"Jesus, it's his wife," said one man.
"Poor bastard," said a woman.
"She's still alive, has someone called an ambulance?"
A couple of cops were shouldering their way through.
"Ambulance is on its way. Okay, folks, it's not a circus. Let's move it, okay?" One cop looked at Jack. "Okay, pal, you know the lady?"
"She's my wife," sobbed Jack, almost biting his tongue with grief.
Behind, another siren was approaching.
"The other one's corpsed. The car smells like a distillery," said the first cop, who then looked down at Jack, "Jesus Christ!"

This Halls Lake cottage was built in 2000 and since then it has nestled nicely into its surroundings making it feel like a building that has been in its place for 70 years or more. One thing the owners wanted when they built it was to leave as much of the original landscape as they could in tact, taking down only a few trees to build the cottage and running the hydro under ground. When the cottage was done, they planted more trees around it to give them privacy and that extra cottage feel. Another great aspect outside was to use the flat rocks that had been dug up from the foundation for their stairs down to the lake and fire pit patio.
Once inside, the upstairs has two bedrooms, a washroom, a side door entrance area, and a kitchen family room along the front with floor to ceiling windows that look down at the lake. The basement has 2 good size bedrooms, a laundry room, and a big recreation room area for all of the grandchildren to hang out on those rainy days or in the evenings. One of my favourite details about this cottage is the side door entrance where you walk in. They have laid real flagstone down to meet up with the hardwood floor. This unique feature keeps the wood and rock look and a nice cottage atmosphere. Their fireplace, although built with man made rock over a gas insert, has the look of an old cottage fireplace that was built 100 years ago like in the cottage the owner used as a kid.
If you are up early enough here you can catch a beautiful sunrise while looking across the lake from their dock. There is lots of sun until about 3 to 4ish and from there they move up to the cottage deck for cocktails and more sun before dinner.
On weekends this cottage is full of the owner's growing family including children and 10 grandchildren with more on the way. It is a place everyone meets to have fun together and share memories. It is full of skiers, wake boarders, swimmers, cooks, and readers.
The family's favourite cottage tradition is Canada Day weekend when the whole gang is up to start the summer off with a bang. Saturday night is full of food, games, fireworks, and a bonfire. They always have a full cottage and wouldn't want it any other way.

As I've said before in this blog, it's all about the kids!
My absolute favorite thing to do is drop in on a SmartLab and ask the students, "what'ja doing?" The learners are so enthusiastic and their project ideas are usually WAY more interesting than anything we come up with when developing the curriculum. It's also wonderful when a student tells me the SmartLab is their favorite place in school - but I don't expect them to think about what goes into creating a learning environment like the SmartLab. Their job is to learn.Read More

WATCH: Eira Beverley-Stone - "Vertical Farming: Food for Thought"/
As the world population grows steadily toward its threshold, developing more sustainable, space conscious methods of food production has become a top priority.
For a time now, researchers have been investigating the possibilities of 'vertical farming', a practise by which the products of agriculture are grown in vertically stacked layers in order to maximise land space, negate the effects of variable climates on production and prevent the further degradation of global natural habitats.
For New Zealand, this system could be of monumental benefit, solving persisting issues with kiwi food production and providing a boon to the economy.
In her presentation at this years Sir Paul Callaghan Eureka! Awards, Rangiora student Eira Beverley-Stone broke down the complex science of vertical farming and offered it as the way forward in New Zealand's agricultural future.

Movie Review
After busting out of prison in a cement mixer, an impulsive bruiser (Joe) and his brainy hypochondriac buddy (Terry) embark on a series of armed bank robberies. The congenial pair's modus operandi is unique: They don goofy disguises, kidnap bank managers at home the night before the heist, accompany them to work the next morning and empty the vault. Known as "The Sleepover Bandits," Joe and Terry develop a cult following. Their ultimate goal is to steal enough money to buy an Acapulco nightclub, a festive hideaway known for its tuxedoes and margaritas. The guys invite a young dullard named Harvey to be their getaway driver. He's a loose-lipped cowboy with dreams of becoming a Hollywood stunt man/special effects artist.
Then the motley crew grows to four. Shortly after a bank job, circumstances force Terry to "kidnap" Kate, a bored, frustrated housewife desperate for passion and adventure. She's trapped in a loveless marriage and reduced to finding companionship in heartrending Bonnie Tyler tunes. Before long, she's more of a willing accomplice than a hostage. She sleeps with Joe and Terry on separate occasions, creating a crack in the partnership as the two cordial desperados vie for her affection. The group robs its way from Oregon to Texas, accumulating wealth and fame, and leaving behind them a wake of salivating media types who aren't quite sure whether Kate is a victim or a criminal. The bandits eventually arrive at their Alamo. Since most of the film is told in flashback, opening scenes indicate a tragic, final showdown with police, but it remains to be seen if this modern-day James Gang can beat those seemingly insurmountable odds.
positive elements: On several occasions, there actually is honor among thieves. During a tenuous getaway, Kate convinces Joe to risk capture and go back for his stranded partner. An attempt to absolve Kate from guilt is noble (unfortunately, to do so Joe and Terry lie about her involvement). Before driving off in a car they're stealing, Joe takes a moment to hand the owner her purse, indicating that these millennial Robin Hoods have no ill will toward individuals, but want to strike back at what they believe is a corrupt system by making off with federally insured funds ("The government just steals money from people and we take it back from them"). Of course, such theft is in no way justifiable, but this behavior does demonstrate a lack of malice and indiscriminate victimization. They never actually shoot anyone. They're kind to the wife and children of a bank manager (Terry puts them at ease with casual conversation). Indeed, Joe and Terry are usually polite to people, even when waving guns in their faces. But as one matronly bank manager accurately points out, "Good manners are no excuse for criminal behavior."
spiritual content: Joe mentions having read the Tao, a source of Eastern philosophy that deals with morality and the organizing principle of the universe.
sexual content: Teens are interrupted during a make-out session. Joe talks about spending most of his cut from an early robbery on a wild fling with a Scandinavian beauty. Joe and Kate share a bed divided by a blanket à la It Happened One Night, though the blanket soon comes down and the two grope and kiss passionately (sex is implied). Later, Kate reports that she and Joe hardly left the hotel room during a two-week hiatus from robbing banks. Kate sleeps with Terry (not shown), forming a love triangle in which the audience is supposed to choose sides and decide who they want to see end up with Kate. Of course, the answer should be neither since she's a married woman, but to these filmmakers, adultery isn't so much as a momentary, guilt-inducing technicality. It's a total non-issue. Refusing to choose between Joe and Terry, Kate defends her indecisiveness by saying, "The heart is a mysterious organ, and it plays by its own rules." Actually, "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?" (Jeremiah 17:9).
violent content: Joe takes a cheap shot from a sparring partner at the prison gym and proceeds to pummel the guy. He knocks out a prison guard during his escape. Guards shoot at Joe and Terry during their getaway. Joe drags a reluctant driver out of his car (the driver picks up a gun and fires at them, blowing out the rear window). Kate first encounters Terry by accidentally hitting him with her car while he's trying to flag her down. He initially feels the best way to handle Kate is to "Shoot her! Bury her body in the woods" (fortunately, Joe rejects this proposal). There are several violent car crashes. Joe and Terry get into a fistfight that sends them sprawling through a plate-glass window. [Major Spoiler Warning] In the climactic scene, Bandits takes a page from films such as The Sting, Swordfish, Life, etc. by faking the deaths of the main characters in order to help them escape an impossible situation. It does so by having Joe and Terry shoot each other "dead" as part of an unannounced stunt which involves Harvey pulling a little special effects magic that makes the bloody bullet wounds look real.
crude or profane language: More than 40 profanities, including a handful of s-words and about 20 exclamatory uses of the Lord's name.
drug and alcohol content: Men drink beer on several occasions. Kate downs a shot of whisky at a bar.
other negative elements: A medical expert can be heard describing, in graphic detail, a vaginal disorder (Terry repeats it later for comic effect).
conclusion: I hate feeling manipulated into rooting for bad people. Bandits does a very good job of making ignoble characters sympathetic, inspiring viewers to side with three criminals and one adulteress, while jeering local law enforcement. How? It's tempting to want Joe and Terry to find their paradise, so we buy into the notion that they're really nice guys who've simply made an inappropriate career choice (the film conveniently forgets to tell us why these "nice" guys were in prison in the first place). As for the love triangle, we're encouraged to write off the husband entirely and get invested in Joe and Terry's rivalry. We feel the emotional abandonment Kate experiences in her marriage, and want her to feel loved. Yet the Bible says, "Thou shall not steal" and "Thou shall not commit adultery." Period. Audiences also get that time-honored denouement suggesting that crime pays.
Artistically, Bandits combines elements of drama and comedy in an appealing way. The writing is strong. Solid performances emerge from the movie's three principals—all Oscar nominees. In short, expect this modern Western to perform well at the box office, despite its profanity, moderate violence and sexual situations. Let's just hope those who check it out aren't taken hostage by the moral ambiguity and dubious rationalization that runs through the picture.

A Young People's History of the United States: Columbus to the War on Terror (For Young People Series) (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
A Young People's History of the United States brings to US history the viewpoints of workers, slaves, immigrants, women, Native Americans, and others whose stories, and their impact, are rarely included in books for young people. A Young People's History of the United States is also a companion volume to The People Speak, the film adapted from A People's History of the United States and Voices of a People's History of the United States.
Beginning with a look at Christopher Columbus's arrival through the eyes of the Arawak Indians, then leading the reader through the struggles for workers' rights, women's rights, and civil rights during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and ending with the current protests against continued American imperialism, Zinn in the volumes of A Young People's History of the United States presents a radical new way of understanding America's history. In so doing, he reminds readers that America's true greatness is shaped by our dissident voices, not our military generals.
About the Author
The visionary historical work of professor and activist HOWARD ZINN (1922–2010) is widely considered one of the most important and influential of our era. After his experience as a bombardier in World War II, Zinn became convinced that there could no longer be such a thing as a "just war," because the vast majority of victims in modern warfare are, increasingly, innocent civilians. In his books, including A People's History of the United States, its companion volumeVoices of a People's History of the United States, and countless other titles, Zinn affirms the power of the people to influence the course of events.
REBECCA STEFOFF is the author of more than 100 nonfiction books for children and young adults, and she has adapted several best-selling history books for younger readers.

Time to get savvy
BI struggles to respond rapidly to the business need, even when attempting agile development.
In order for businesses to be competitive decision-makers, they need timely access to information. The vehicle for this is business intelligence (BI) teams and their supporting processes. The challenge for IT BI teams is that acquiring data from source systems (internal and external), and transforming this into information for decision-making, is a complex process that requires scarce resources and expensive tools and systems. Throw delivery methodologies into the mix and you have the modern-day dilemma of BI teams delivering information too slowly.
In recent years, many have tried to implement agile methodology in this area, but with mixed success. As a consultant, I have been involved in a number of these initiatives, and have noted a few common factors that largely contribute to the limited success of agile methodologies in data warehousing and BI.
The changing nature of business:
The very nature of BI is that the end-user requirements evolve frequently, and with an increasingly data- and digital-driven landscape, businesses are changing at an even faster pace. Today's businesses often have small windows of opportunity, where access to information is required within days in order to take advantage of an opportunity.
The fact is BI often cannot respond rapidly enough to the business need, even when attempting agile development. The upfront project negotiations, planning and design phase alone very often exceed the window of opportunity a business might have.
The paradigm shift:
The traditional methods for managing a BI engagement provide a solid foundation for solution delivery, eliminating much of the stakeholders' risk. These focus on in-depth, exhaustive analysis, design and implementation. All this is done with the best of intentions, but the result is long, drawn out and can be costly.
Implementing agile methodology requires a significant change in thinking, stripping away a lot of the safety and security people have grown accustomed to. The process is heavily dependent on multi-skilled people, which conversely, leaves many of them feeling exposed.
This creates a real challenge, as there is no one-size-fits-all solution, and the success of agile in BI is going to be largely due to the ability of the people involved to adapt and embrace the new paradigm.
This situation is made worse by the fact that the various agile methodologies are not prescriptive, and leaves a lot to the teams to decide. These individuals in the teams must be able to develop the mindset required to think and execute in an agile framework and approach, and not just according to an agile recipe book.
The relay team is only as fast as its slowest runner:
The simple fact is that vanilla agile is not enterprise aware and cannot scale to accommodate the constraints the enterprise places on it, eg, enterprise architecture and release management. When this happens, the "hurry up and wait" scenario occurs.
User requests are logged, and significant time is spent on prioritisation, analysis and design before landing with the delivery team. At this point, progress speeds up rapidly under agile development practices, but then slows down once again when the code is passed onto release management processes.
The unique nature of BI:
BI delivery is a complicated beast, interacting with many different systems and stakeholders throughout the company. In addition, there are vast complexities in successfully analysing data from disparate systems, designing a formal data warehouse and BI solution that can consolidate these disparate data sources, and successfully presenting the resulting information to the client.
BI delivery is a complicated beast.
Even with the best of tools to speed up data analysis and development, the design and implementation of these solutions will always be a significant obstacle that even agile methodology just simply cannot overcome.
So, what is the solution?
In the BI world, it is information, not code, which is valued above all other things. This implies a fundamental shift in thinking. Instead of thinking in terms of design and code, teams need to think in terms of data and information. The question should not be how to design and code a solution, but rather how to get the data or information to the end-user as quickly as possible.
As such, everything from engagement model to solution architecture to delivery methodology needs to change to address this concept. Once a team adopts this change in focus, it can have a profound and fundamental impact on the way a team delivers value to its end-users.
A comprehensive hybrid agile framework (Strategic Architecture for Value Yielding BI) should build on various agile practices and strategies, and include a strategic, enabling architecture and business-centric delivery team structures.
Some key principles:
1. Avoid large, difficult to motivate projects. Focus on short, bite-sized deliverables that add to a larger vision, but with far less attached risk and expense.
2. Rapid information delivery is the single biggest goal of the BI competency centre (BICC) - prioritise this!
3. Existing teams must be on-boarded to the new principles slowly, allowing sufficient time for training, mentoring and developing the resources, so they can learn how to think and be agile.
4. The entire demand management function for the BICC needs to run on a single agile framework, from end to end. Only in this way can a steady, reliable stream of work flow through from the idea phase to successful delivery.
BI needs to become more savvy to catch up with the pace business requires in order to be relevant and start yielding business value.

Want to try a new project that I can share here on the blog and hopefully be more consistent in my postings. My friend E used to take a picture at 5:25 pm every day (or close to it) to share with her world during 2009. This year she's been collaborating with a friend on a different daily-photo blog (of which I love to follow along!).
I want to try the photo every day approach, as a way to track what I'm doing and where. My hope is that in addition to sharing visual memories, I'll also be more inclined to share a story or antcedote most days too. I'll also be posting these to my Flickr account (link on the right) too those who prefer the gallery style.
To get started, here are a few different photos from the past days, weeks & months that can show what I've been up to!

As most of you know, I'm an author of ten novels (a mixture of mystery, fantasy, and thriller…all with a dash of the paranormal). Almost all of them (except for my Ajax Clean series) have paranormal elements revolving around folklore, myth, and various magico-religious groups. I think my Ezekiel Crane books have a little bit of all that, actually. But I'm also a Christian. Not only am I a Christian, but I'm Southern Baptist…one of the big fundamentalist denominations of the Christian faith. And I'm a Southern Baptist because, having studied all the various other doctrines of the other denominations, I find that the Southern Baptists, for the most part, strive to adhere to a proper understanding of Scripture to the best of their ability (which admittedly, is often limited…but they try).
So, I've been asked by a number of readers on more than one occasion, if I'm such a devoted Christian and adherent to Scripture (I believe the Bible is both inerrant and infallible, not to mention God-inspired), how can I write about so many pagan religions and ideologies? More, how can I write them in such a benevolent light? I mean, after all, isn't voodoo evil? Isn't Santeria, Palo Mayombe, and Appalachian folk magic (not to mention hoodoo) evil? By writing about these things, am I not supporting them? Am I not encouraging others to delve into them? Am I not hurting my Christian witness by not condemning them?
The answer to those questions is: I don't rightly know. I've had these questions myself. My conscience feels clean, but if so many people are concerned about it, then I ask myself, how could I not feel bad about it? How could I not be worried about it? Of course, I know the answer to this question, but honestly…it's between God and me. However, I thought maybe by sharing some things from my point of view and things that happened to me, I might be able to set some minds at ease about the themes so common in my stories. So here goes.
Fewer of you may know about my 'day job'. By night, I'm a writer of fun, paranormal mysteries and thrillers. But by day (and often at night as well), I'm a forensic death investigator in a medical examiner's office in Florida. Because of that, I come across a lot of strange cases and strange behavior at scenes that I need to make sense of.
A few years ago, I had one such a case (it's a matter of public record, so I can talk about it…although I'm going to leave a LOT of details out in respect for the deceased and her family). I was called to the beach where a dead woman had been found behind some dunes. I go to the scene to investigate and find her. She'd been dead a day or two. Topless. And kneeling in a prostrate (praying) position in the sand.
As we began digging into the circumstances leading up to her death, we discover that the woman practices Santeria, a religion that originated in the Congo and was brought over to Cuba by slaves. It evolved over time into what we know today.
We discovered that the woman had recently been 'cursed' by her Santero (priest) with a Death Curse. According to her family, she became distraught about this curse. To her, it was very, very real. She did whatever she could to escape the curse, but nothing worked. So, one night, she went to the beach with some alcohol and a few sleeping pills. We believe she started praying…possibly praying for the Orisha (the gods of Santeria) to forgive her. Then, she drank the alcohol and took the pills and died. In many ways, the Death Curse came true. It was a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I could go on, but I really don't feel comfortable giving details about many people's deaths other than to touch on a couple of others briefly to further illustrate the point I want to make.
Recently, there was another case. Another overdose. The woman was a high priestess of Santeria, who died in her house. Law enforcement found her in her bedroom. But honestly, because of the religious artifacts, idols and such, and ritualistic paraphernalia, the officers on scene were naturally spooked. To them, and their Western sensibilities, such tableaus were things of evil and instinctively wanted to avoid the place. But in a death investigation, it's essential to look at things closely. Spend time at the crime scene. Probe. All the things these officers didn't want to do because of their lack of knowledge into the religion. [I'd like to point out that they ended up doing a fantastic job despite their misgivings, by the way…and with the proper respect.]
But if you think that the weird stuff only applies to Kongonese religions such as voodoo and Santeria, think again. I was at another death scene once. The family had called their Christian pastor to come to minister to them. As we were taking her remains out of the house, the pastor stopped me to ask if he and the family could pray over her. Being sensitive to all religious beliefs, I said yes, but was sure to keep her covered and protected from evidence contamination (even though the death was believed to be a natural at the time). The family gathered around the stretcher in a circle and the preacher began to pray. At first, it was so very normal. Then, the preacher's words began to change. I couldn't understand a word he was saying. The family also began speaking in a language I was unfamiliar with. Then, I realized, they were doing what is called 'speaking in tongues' (something we Baptists aren't exactly accustomed to. lol). The next thing I know, the pastor begins to chant, "Arise! Arise! Arise!" The family members follow suit, "Arise!" they chant. "Arise!"
Holy smokes! I thought. They're trying to raise this woman from the dead! I stand there, watching. Stiff as a board. Uncertain of what to do. I'm thinking: if this woman sits up, there's going to be a Kent-shaped hole in the door as I run out it. But after several minutes of this, nothing happens and the family allows me to take her to my office.
Strange, right?
Well, not to that family. And the weird scary artifacts in the Santeria priestess's house? They're not scary to her or her loved ones. And therein lies my fascination with something called 'Comparative Religions', the study of various religions in light of their similarities and differences for a better understanding of people.
In death investigations, I believe the understanding of people's religious views are crucial to serve them and their family's better. It is our job to serve the deceased's best interests (that's primary) and see that justice is done for them when necessary. But on a secondary basis, we're there to give closure to their loved ones and family. And that means understanding their religious beliefs. After all, religious beliefs are primarily focused on 'what happens to us when we die'. It doesn't matter whether I agree with them or not. What's important is that I try to understand them and accommodate them as best I can. Those of the Jewish and Muslim faith don't believe in autopsies. On cases where it's possible not to perform them, we will do what we can to accommodate their desires. Muslims need to sit with their loved ones after they die until they can be buried the very next day. This one is a little trickier for our office because of security concerns. But where we are able to meet the family's religious wishes, we strive to do just that.
But how can we do that if we don't know about the religion? How can we serve the community in the melting pot of America if we heap scorn on religions that are strange to us? How can we investigate deaths and get justice for the dead if we're afraid to enter their homes because of what looks like demonic paraphernalia sitting around inside?
That's been my mission in the last few years. To study the most obscure religions out there (focusing on those I will most likely run into living in Florida). That's where my interest in voodoo, Santeria, and Palo Mayombe has come from.
It's also why I put these religions in my books. It's not because I believe in them. It's not because I support them or even condone them. As a Christian, I find their doctrines incorrect and contrary to the Truth of Christ. But you know what? I also find them beautiful. I find them colorful and flamboyant and intriguing. I find them worthy of understanding and compassion and love.
As a Christian, who strives to live his life by the Great Commission (Go unto all the world, preaching the good news of Christ), I find it essential to understand these religions better so I can talk to people where we have common ground. So I can love on people of these religions without judgment or ridicule. So I won't automatically have a knee-jerk reaction of pointing a finger and shouting, "Evil doer!" Yes, on the surface (thanks to the horrible way in which these religions have been depicted through Hollywood on TV shows and movies (most of it very, very untrue or misleading, by the way)), we see voodoo as just another offshoot of Satanism. Of devil worship. And that, to most Christians, is reprehensible. But it's important to understand that the people practicing and believing these things are NOT reprehensible. And they're not any more evil than all humans are. They just have a different (and yes, incorrect, according to Scripture) understanding of the nature of the cosmos.
It's not our job to judge these people. It's our job to love them. God will sort out the rest.
So, this is why an author of strong Christian conviction writes so many stories depicting Appalachian hoodoo, voodoo, and Santeria in often positive light. It's not done to condone, but to teach. To help people to understand. To expose people to various points of view in hopes of better understanding our neighbors, friends, and co-workers.
But if you think that my stories depict these religions as equal to the Christian faith, you're not reading deep enough. In all my stories, there is a distinct struggle between the religion that rides front and center in the story…the one that is loudest and most boisterous…and the subtler, quieter Creator of all things that lurks out of view off the story's pages. The struggle of the flamboyant gods of false religions and the reserved and calm God of all creation. In the end, in all my stories, the second option always wins.

We headed to Boston Logan thanks to Boston North Limousine. Our car arrived early and our driver was friendly. We dropped off our luggage and decided to enjoy some drinks and Oysters at the bar inside Terminal E. We boarded our plane (which was an older plane) and off we went. I had requested a dairy free meal from Alitalia however what they provided me was a Vegetarian meal including bread and butter. Luckily I brought some Larabars.
After a safe landing at Fiumincino Airport we cleared customs and picked up our bags. Hmmmm what is that smell??? Oh yeah that would be my Miss Dior spilled all over my carry-on!! Not the best start to an early morning lol. Outside we met our driver from Rome Cabs. The minivan was clean, and our driver was extremely friendly, helpful, and informative.
The check in staff at Hotel Artemide were friendly, funny, and personable. Unfortunately our room wasn't ready but we only had about a 2 hour wait. The staff offered us breakfast or coffee but we were prepared for not being able to check in and were ready to head out into Rome.
Within 3 hours we got to see the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, Castel St. Angelo, Piazza Navona, and the Campo de Fiori. We purchased cookies from Il Fornaio, and got rained on. La Dolce Vita!
We we got back to Hotel Artemide we were fully checked in and given room 115. Hotel Tip: The hotel staff received my email about my dairy allergy, had it noted in the reservation, and already informed the breakfast staff about it.
Room 115 is the perfect Deluxe Superior Room. You enter the room into a long hallway with a closet, shelves, table, mini fridge, and a coffee/tea area. The bathroom is large with shower / tub, sink, bidet, and toilet. The bedroom has a large bed, two end tables, a chaise, desk with chair, and a flat screen tv. The added bonus were two doors leading to a small personal courtyard (no view and no privacy but still very nice to have). The room can get very loud from the courtyard and the breakfast area of the hotel (you are above it). So if you are a light sleeper this may not be the best room. With that said, I still highly recommend this room and would stay here again.
Tonight we were a bit tired so we ventured to the Spanish Steps and got some Pizza to go. I ordered my favorite potato with rosemary pizza (dairy free), and Greg tried the zucchini flower pizza. For some dessert we ventured over to Grom Gelato near the Pantheon. We both love their Cioccolato Extranoir gelato (dark chocolate) especially because it's dairy free but still ultra creamy.
More coming soon!

As the No. 1 team in the country opened the season with a victory, a few numbers to consider.
There's 22, the number of consecutive years UConn has won its season opener. The Huskies are 28-4 in openers under Geno Auriemma.
Speaking of Auriemma, there's 992 — the career win total for the UConn coach after Sunday's victory over Stanford. He is eight wins from 1,000 and could reach the milestone Dec. 19 against Oklahoma.
A few more significant numbers: 58 and 887. UConn is 58-0 after a loss since its last losing streak in 1992-93. That's 887 games since the Huskies lost consecutive games.
And after losing the last game last season, UConn dodged a losing streak with the win at the Countdown to Columbus. Instead, they'll be after a two-game winning streak when they host California Friday at Gampel Pavillion.
Other takeaways from the 78-53 win:
Respect For Dangerfield
After an inconsistent freshman season, Crystal Dangerfield is a different player. The sophomore earned a spot in the starting lineup and proved Sunday that opponents will need to pay close attention to her. Dangerfield had 24 points, including 13 when UConn raced to a first-quarter lead, and she made her presence felt at both ends of the floor.
She converted six 3-pointers, often squaring up a few feet behind the line as she confidently unleashed her shot. Dangerfield also dictated UConn's quick pace, which exploited Stanford's lack of speed.
Given all that UConn returns this season — four starters, including three All-Americans — Dangerfield's emergence is significant.
"By adding another player of her caliber and the way she plays, that changes the makeup of what we're trying to do," Auriemma said. "She's just so much more offensive-minded, and she creates a lot of stuff for herself and for others. … I'm not surprised with what she did [Sunday]."
Lou's Complete Game
As a freshman two years ago, Katie Lou Samuelson emerged as a starter on a national champion. Samuelson, a top recruit coming out of high school, was deployed as a 3-point shooting threat on a team that included three of the top players in the country.
Last season, Samuelson averaged 20.2 points and become a more complete player. But as she approached her junior season, Samuelson vowed to be even better at both ends of the floor. And in the first game, she showed why Auriemma has been raving about her.
Samuelson scored 21 points, but was just 2 of 4 on 3-pointers. She took the ball inside and drew fouls, converting 7 of 8 free throws. She was also active on defense, a part of her game that's been a priority this season.
"She's just a much more mature player," Auriemma said.
So Many Options
Napheesa Collier, UConn's leading scorer last year and one of the best offensive players in the country, produced just eight points Sunday. Kia Nurse, one of the better 3-point shooters in the country by the end of last season, had four points on 1 of 8 shooting.
Yet UConn breezed to a win over the 10th-ranked team in the country. The Huskies are so talented and deep that an off night by one or two of the starters has little impact. If teams can limit Collier inside or Nurse outside, Dangerfield, Samuelson or Gabby Williams (11 points) will step up.
So if Dangerfield is stifled in an upcoming game, look for Nurse to step up.
Defense Leads To Offense
It was 4-4 early in the game when UConn took over, reeling off 14 unanswered points to put the game away. And it was during that run when the Huskies' defense became a factor, with Williams setting the tone as she continually misdirected passes.
With the speed of Williams and Dangerfield, the length of Samuelson, Collier and Azura Stevens, and the tenaciousness of Nurse, UConn could be an elite defensive team. The Huskies were in the first half Sunday, limiting Stanford to 14 points and scoring transition baskets sparked by an aggressive defense.
Practice Fodder
UConn was energetic and efficient in the first half, putting the game away by the intermission. The second half, though, had a slower pace — partly because of fatigue, partly because the Huskies took their foot off the pedal.
"Like most kids do, probably [think] the game's over, so why do we have to kill ourselves?" Auriemma said. "Typical young people, kind of immaturity. We changed our defense up a bit, and I must have not explained it properly because I think they must have thought, Coach said play no defense. So I've got to change my wording next time."

This is one of the more common ways that you will see Miso being used after Miso soup and there's a good reason for that - it is absolutely delicious! You'll find heaps of variations of this recipe and they are all delicious - salty, sweet and savoury in perfect harmony.
Serves 2
- 2 Eggplants
- 4 Tbsp Meru Sweet White Miso (any Miso will work well but white is best)
- 2 Tbsp Mirin
- 1 Tbsp Sake
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Freshly Grated Ginger
- 2 Tsp Sesame Seeds - To Garnish
- 2 Shallots - To Garnish
Preheat oven to 180 deg C.
Cut the eggplant in half lengthways. Score each eggplant diagonally to create diamonds about 2- 3 cm in size, being careful not to pierce the skin.
Mix the marinade ingredients and take half the marinade and spread it on the eggplants. Really work it into the cuts so that the flavour spreads through the whole eggplant.
Roast in the oven for 15 mins. Remove from oven, apply the remaining marinade, again working it down into the eggplant and return to the oven for 10 mins.
Remove from oven, sprinkle with sesame seeds and return to the oven for the final five mins.
Garnish with finely chopped shallot. Serve on rice with a side of asian greens.

Day 6; Picture of someone you would love to trade places with for 1 day...
ME! My life isn't perfect, nor is the most exciting but it is good. The season and the place God has me is good. I know that He likes me and I am learning to agree with Him and like myself. I tried thinking of fictional characters, famous people, people I admired, different people who I might like to trade places with...and even in all of that, I came back to the same feeling and answer; I don't want to be anyone else. I just want to be who God created me to be. To just be who I was created to be and not try to hide, or change or adapt myself to be how I think people want me to be, to just embrace the identity Father has given me is enough.

As September will soon make its way for October and fall enters the picture, the season hits its second gear around Europe's top football leagues, with four teams remaining undefeated: Bayern Munich, Juventus, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain. More
As we approach the end of October, there are 6 undefeated clubs remaining in Europe's top 5 football leagues: 2 in La Liga (Barcelona & Valencia), 2 in Serie A (Inter & Napoli), 1 in the Premier League (Manchester City) and 1 in Ligue 1 (PSG). Here's a bit about each team's season so far. More
If Barcelona end up winning the Champions League in 2017, their 6-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain on March 8 will go down as one of the most incredible moments in the history of European club football. An absurd, inexplicable sequence of events and goals, leading to the impossible comeback from a 0-4 loss in the first leg. More
As we enter the 2016-2017 season, finding something new in the German Bundesliga, Italian Series A and French Ligue 1, when it comes to the identity of the champions, is difficult to expect. Juventus, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are in a class of their own professionally and financially, making sure that remains while they weaken their biggest rivals. More
No problems at all for Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the second leg of their quarterfinal clashes with PSG and Porto respectively, comfortably doing the expected thing and qualifying to the semifinals after convincing wins at home. More
Despite playing with 10 men for most of their encounter with Chelsea in the Champions League, a late extra time header by Thiago Silva gave Paris Saint-Germain a second away goal in a dramatic and tense 2-2 draw in Stamford Bridge, and advanced them into the quarterfinals. More
If Jose Mourinho is headed into a match that frightens him, he's going to play the referee card. This time? Heading into the second leg in the Champions League knockout stage against Paris Saint-Germain, he's talking about his opponents' aggression. More
For the first time this season, Barcelona conceded and eventually lost, succumbing to a strong PSG performance and a 3-2 result. Manchester City remain win-less in the group stage so far this season, finishing their home match with Roma in a 1-1 draw. More
Right now no offers are being made for Yaya Toure of Manchester City, but it seems like the Ivorian midfielder is doing everything in his power, making some excessive use of his agent, to find himself a new club. Both Barcelona and now Paris Saint-Germain are very interested in the player, busy sending out hints of where he'd like to go. More
Some feared it might be a boring evening of football, but two matches went wire to wire with excitment and suspense, and eventually it was Chelsea with a 2-0 win over PSG and Real Madrid despite losing 2-0 to Borussia Dortmund that make it into the Champions League semifinals. More

Today is: knowing what you're talking about.
A brilliant advisor of ours, Seth Godin, writes a daily blog post that I encourage everyone to receive. Here is one such inspiring nugget of advice:
Anti-glib: Knowing what you're talking about
Glibness is a disease that's particularly virulent in Silicon Valley, politics, entertainment and the executive suite. Someone has an insight (or gets lucky) and then amasses power. Surrounded by more than they're willing to understand, they substitute the glib statement, the smirk, the cutting remark. They turn everything into a status-fueled professional wrestling match.
It's usually done out of fear, and, ironically, the fear-induced glib approach merely makes things worse, creating even more fear.
The alternative is to know what you're talking about.
To have done the reading. [I've seen this problem in boardrooms, examination rooms and classrooms across the planet].
To be able to hold conflicting ideas in your head as you consider options.
To know and respect the people who have earned a place at the table of ideas.
To have energetic engagements with people who are more experienced, wiser and more connected than you are.
To admit that you were wrong, because you didn't know what you know now, and then to chart a new path.
To ignore sunk costs when making new decisions.
The fans of professional wrestling (in all its forms) are entertained by the glib, because it releases them from the obligation to understand metaphor, to look more deeply, to engage with a logical argument.
Everyone else would rather work with people who know what they're talking about, who respect those they work with and most of all, who seek useful outcomes, not just the comfort of a short-term win.

Sevaun Palvetzian is the CEO of CivicAction and as an expert on civic engagement, she focuses on inclusive cities. An authority on urban issues, Sevaun frequently speaks to media and is a member of groups like the Premier's Community Hubs Advisory and Waterfront Toronto. Through her work with CivicAction, and her roles at the Ontario Public Service, she has worked to advance human resources practices such as diversifying leadership positions and supporting mental health in the workplace. In this guest post for Imagine a City, Sevaun talks about why workplace mental health matters and how employers can best support their employees to be mentally well.
Torontonians are still reeling in the wake of the recent van attack on Yonge Street, grappling with feelings of vulnerability and grief caused by a violent act that happened so close to where they live or work. This distress can seep into many aspects of our daily lives, but some employees may also be facing mental health challenges outside of times of crisis. With this in mind, it's important to remember how employers can make an ongoing effort to support their employees' mental health.
During Mental Health Week, the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) is reminding us that mental health isn't just about mental illness; it's about a state of wellbeing. Workplaces have a huge impact on employees' state of mind and can play a powerful role in contributing to good mental health and supporting employees who may be struggling.
Fifty per cent of all people in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) workforce have experienced a mental health issue, and 82% of those experiencing a mental health issue say that it impacts their work. This is an issue we simply can't afford to ignore.
But there is good news—employers want to take action. According to CMHA, 42% of senior leaders are interested in taking action to support mental health but haven't yet due to a lack of time, resources, or knowledge.
To help that 42% turn intention into action, CivicAction launched MindsMatter—a free, first of its kind online assessment tool for organizations of any size or sector that provides three tailored actions to make that first or next step towards a mental health supportive workplace easier.
Many employers have already started, such as Dundee 360 President and CEO Brad Henderson. Henderson decided to make mental health a priority at the real estate management firm by strengthening mental wellness supports and highlighting what resources were available, leading to an impressive 57% increase in staff awareness of mental health supports.
President of CGI's Canadian operations, Mark Boyajian, also realized the power of raising mental-health awareness through the overwhelming success of CGI's Mental Health Month. More than 5,000 employees participate in the month's activities and fundraising initiatives that have helped destigmatize mental health and create a supportive environment.
Ryerson University gave their employees tools to respond to colleagues in distress through a workshop series known as Notice, Engage, Refer. After taking the workshop, 84% of participants felt they had increased their ability to respond to mental-health distress.
These are just three organizations taking action, but 750 organizations representing 1.7 million people across Canada are on their own workplace mental health journey thanks to MindsMatter.
Take time to check in with your employees, and join this growing movement towards mental wellness by taking MindsMatter at http://mindsmatter.civicaction.ca.

Today I am celebrating. Because I am independent, I willingly relinquish more. Because I am independent, I can choose to whom I give myself.
1. Not governed by a foreign power; self-governing: I am Mistress of my bedtime. I can do what I want.
2. Free from the influence, guidance, or control of another or others; self-reliant: Being of a strong mind and able body, I have confidence in my decisions and actions.
3. Not relying on others for support, care, or funds; self-supporting: I am nobody's kept woman. If I want something enough, I'll find a way to make it happen, by myself.
1. To rely, especially for support or maintenance: The difference between a bad day and a good day often lies in the power of his hands against my cheeks. His shoulder delivers me from danger to safety.
2. To place trust or confidence: I will render myself helpless at his feet to feel the power of my trust.
3. To be determined, conditioned, or contingent: The severity of my next spanking is dependent on what he believes we need. It is not my decision. I do not want that power.
I choose to depend on him. I choose it over and over again.
Hooray for independence.

Since my first post Ethan has continued to use the potty! Some days he actually uses the restroom and sometimes not. We usually only have any actual "action" once a day but it has happened multiple times a day, a few times. Of course he's gone days where he sits there but doesn't do anything also. He does LOVE sitting on the potty so that's a victory right there:).
I need to suck it up and let him run around naked (on the bottom half at least) for a day so he'll really get used to recognizing the urges and desiring more distinctly to eliminate in the toilet. We shall see if I buck up the courage. We've tried periods of the naked training, with Ethan barricaded in half of the house without expensive rugs:), and it was fruitful.
This will definitely be a process but hopefully he's learning.

Honolulu, HI (April 30, 2014) – With free legal assistance from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys, a group of Hyatt Regency Waikiki Resort & Spa employees have filed federal unfair labor practice charges against the UNITE HERE Local 5 union.
Honolulu Hyatt employees Mark Tamosiunas, Wayne Young, Steven Taono, and Agnes Demarke filed the charges late last week with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
Starting around June 30, 2010, the monopoly bargaining agreement between UNITE HERE Local 5 union officials and Hyatt management expired. While the contract was no longer in effect, the workers resigned their union membership and exercised their right to refrain from union dues payments.
However, UNITE HERE Local 5 union officials are now charging the workers for union dues and fees from June 2012 to August 2013, even though no union monopoly bargaining agreement requiring workers to pay union dues or fees was in effect.
Further, the workers never received a copy of the new union monopoly bargaining agreement, a notice of their rights to refrain from union membership and full dues payments, or a breakdown of union financial expenditures from Local 5.
The charges will now be investigated by the NLRB, a federal agency charged with administering private-sector labor law.
Foundation staff attorneys have assisted other workers in defending their rights against the scofflaw union. In 2008, Turtle Bay Resort employee Brenda Lee Orr and Hilton Hawaiian Beach Resort and Spa employee Grant Suzuki won a federal settlement that forced UNITE HERE Local 5 to refund union dues and fees illegally used for union politics. In 2012, Suzuki and another hotel employee, Daryl Sakugawa, filed charges after both were forced to contribute to a variety of activities outside the scope of workplace negotiations, including UNITE HERE political lobbying and a union strike fund.
"Once again, UNITE HERE bosses have demonstrated how little regard they have for workers' rights," said Patrick Semmens, legal information director for the National Right to Work Foundation. "The only permanent solution to chronic union law-breaking is an Hawaii Right to Work law, which would ensure that no employee can be forced to join or pay dues to a union."
The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation is a nonprofit, charitable organization providing free legal aid to employees whose human or civil rights have been violated by compulsory unionism abuses. The Foundation, which can be contacted toll-free at 1-800-336-3600, assists thousands of employees in more than 250 cases nationwide per year.

Shani Black and John Baldivia '05 dish on their entertainment industry careers before their appearances at CAAN Connect: LA.
Shani Black and John Baldivia '05 both keep the Hollywood gears turning. After more than 10 years of experience in television, digital development, branding and casting, Black is now a senior production consultant at Netflix. Baldivia is an entertainment attorney who works primarily with independent filmmakers across all platforms. Both will appear at CAAN Connect: LA, a night of fast-paced industry networking open to Columbia College Chicago alumni. (Register today!) They both talked to Columbia Connection about making it in the entertainment industry and tying it all back to the Columbia experience.
What would you like an alumni audience to know about you?
John Baldivia: I graduated Columbia College Chicago in 2005, and moved to Los Angeles after participating in Semester in LA. I did everything that I possibly could to get into the music industry by meeting artists, producers, and engineers whenever I could. I spent most of my early career hanging out in studios. I eventually began working in digital distribution with a small independent music distribution company named BFM Digital. That eventually turned into me fulfilling the same role for Universal Music Group right around the time that Spotify and streaming music became a viable platform.
While I was working for Universal Music Group, I attended Southwestern Law School at night and obtained my law degree. I have been practicing law in the areas of copyright, entertainment, and labor and employment ever since.
Shani Black: Once I started going to Columbia, I feel like [the school] honed my skills. I learned how to actually complete projects, work as a team. [Columbia] instills a type of confidence in their students so that when you graduate, you are very secure in your skills and your abilities.
Over the course of my career…there's always been a "Columbia moment" that's come to mind. I have fond memories of the school, classes, and my instructors. I'm in a position now where I am able to hire interns from Columbia, because I'm a production manager. I always try to make sure that no matter where I go, it's like, "Who from Columbia can I bring in, and who will benefit from where I am now?"
Shani, you're a consultant at Netflix. John, you work as an entertainment attorney. How would you both describe your roles in the entertainment industry?
SB: Right now I'm a consultant with Netflix, but I am also a casting director for a new project for We TV, so I do multiple things—I do producing, I do casting. It just depends on what the show is. Again, it's part of the Columbia experience: they teach you how to do multiple things; you don't have to limit yourself to one thing.
JB: Most of the work that I do is litigation. The typical cases that I get involved with have to do with copyright infringement, breach of contracts where a film deal goes wrong, or labor issues between the talent and the producers. I do negotiate talent deals on the music side, although we have others at Pierce Law Group LLP who handle deal-making for film and television projects.
Why is it important to reconnect with Columbia alumni?
JB: Like most Columbia graduates who moved to Los Angeles after graduation, I didn't know many people in this city, didn't know who to trust, and it became overwhelming. Staying connected with Columbia alumni who were going through the same experience as I was helped keep me grounded and reminded me that I was not alone. I want to give back by sharing with other Columbia alumni my experience so that others can benefit from having a network of people to talk to like I did.
SB: I had a great experience at Columbia. You know that whole, "I found myself" cliché? I think I actually did find myself at Columbia.
Working in this industry, a lot of times I see people getting hired from UCLA and USC, but I wouldn't see any Columbia hires, and I thought that was ridiculous. The main reason I joined the alumni board is that I get emails, phone calls, and text messages saying, "I need to hire a PA" and I'm sure that there's someone from Columbia who can fill this position. I wanted to provide a mentorship program, so I can figure out how to get [Columbia alumni] through the door. The ultimate goal for me—which may be selfish—is to get as many Columbia people into the industry, because you never know when I may hit a slump and I need to reconnect with those people. But really, it's about giving back and appreciating Columbia overall.

Hi there! I'm a Central NJ based newborn, family & kids and event photographer. To me Photography is not just a hobby or a business - it's something I love doing as it let's me be a part of someone's special moment and puts this huge responsibility of capturing that once in a lifetime moment..I consider myself fortunate to be able to tell someone's story through my lens.. My shooting style is very "organic" and natural. When it comes to shooting events, candid moments is what I capture best! I primarily use natural lighting but I know how to make best use of given space and light to capture some unforgettable moments. Making my clients pleased with the end results is what I always strive for, even if that means going above and beyond to make them happy.
About me in brief - I live in Central NJ with my husband and our two little boys. Family and friends are my everyday treasure. I have dangerously sweet tooth and I LOVE to eat. I love cooking (not so much of the cleaning afterwards) and constantly keep trying new recipes. I love to travel and someday dream of traveling off beaten paths all around the world with my DSLR capturing all that's beautiful on this lovely planet of ours.
I would love to chat with you and find out what you have in mind.

Ticket Links –Fatsoma http://bit.ly/XIxhiW/ Skiddle http://bit.ly/15ifwvs
Facebook Event – https://www.facebook.com/events/146106752236095/
Two Manchester clubbing institutions that shaped the city's dance scene for three consecutive decades, Sankeys took the baton from the passing of The Hacienda to become another of the most renowned underground clubs in the world.
A DJ policy that championed emerging talents and residents alongside world famous guests, the club will be forever etched in the memories of its crowd with performances that have already passed into legend.
We have had some fantastic shows at the club over the years and we feel it's apt that we give Sankeys the proper Madchester send off it deserves, as it takes leave of the rainy city for sunnier straits. Sankeys, you will be missed.
The Hacienda's special Sunday all day closing party sees Hacienda and Sankeys veteran Todd Terry headline while the former Saturday night residents pairing of Graeme Park and Tom Wainwright come back together to send the club off with fondness.
The Northern House tradition is upheld by 808 State DJ's and K Klass with Hacienda Records' Super White Assassin and Herbie also laying down their own particular grooves.
Peter Hook & The Light perform a "New Order Electronic Set" featuring special highlights from their acclaimed sold out Manchester Cathedral performance earlier in the year whilst up and coming "acid rock" band Big Unit, led by 808 State's Darren Partington perform a special set following their well received and well attended Gorilla concert earlier this month.
With Sankeys exterior open during the day, a barbeque will be available during the event.
"I'm a great admirer of Sankeys and also David Vincent, who's proved to be a very loyal supporter of The Hacienda so I'm happy to send him off into the sunset and I'm also very honoured to be asked to play at the closing party. David was inspired by The Hacienda and used to promote there, both clubs share a lot of mutual friends and similar traditions, and both have managed to keep Manchester entertained for more than thirty years. Sankeys has always been a place for up and coming DJ's to play, they've always championed new artists in their music policy and remained on the cutting edge, I'm sure that Sankeys Ibiza will retain the same musical integrity. I'm sorry to see them go."
Peter Hook April 2013
