Practice Policy
Parents and students understand that to get the most out of their education at GCM, daily practice (like homework!) is necessary. Students enrolled in GCM agree with their parents to fulfill a minimum of practicing 6 days per week in an appropriate amount agreed upon by the parent and instructor.
Parent Attendance & Participation in Lessons and Classes
Parent attendance and participation in private lessons is strongly linked to excellent progress made by the student. For this reason, a parent or guardian must be present for the entire length of the private lesson for all children age 8 and under, so that the parent will be equipped to assist the child in his home practice. For children age 9 and up, a parent or guardian is strongly encouraged to attend lessons and supervise home practice in an age-appropriate manner.
In emergency situations when a parent cannot attend the lesson, it is recommended to send a substitute with the child to take notes or video record the lesson. Parents are encouraged to take notes, use a video or audio recorder, and ask the teacher questions.
Parent/guardian attendance in group classes is optional in most cases, but also encouraged.
After-School Pick-Up & Release
Student safety is our first priority. Students who attend Geneva School at the West Campus must be picked up after-school and accompanied to lessons/classes by a parent or an authorized adult. No student may walk to lessons by himself. Students who attend Geneva School at the East Campus may remain onsite for lessons following dismissal; however, no student should roam the halls, but must stay in the classroom with a teacher doing quiet activities until their lesson time. Students must be picked up on time by a parent when class ends. Geneva Conservatory is not a "drop-off" program.
To get the most out of the program, students are expected to fully participate by attending all lessons, classes, and recitals. Families will appreciate the value of the program and prioritize lessons, classes, recitals, and practice time in their daily schedules. If a student must be absent due to illness or traveling out of town, please notify your teacher, in addition to Geneva School office, as early as possible. Insufficient practicing or absences for birthday parties and other social occasions are not considered valid by GCM.
GCM presents at least four recitals each year: two end-of-semester recitals and two mid-semester recitals. Performances are a vital part of the program, and participation in at least one performance per semester is mandatory.
Make-Up Policy
Regularly scheduled lessons and classes cancelled due to weather or teacher absence will be offered a make-up session. Due to space and scheduling considerations, GCM cannot guarantee that lessons or classes missed by the student for any reason will be made up. There are no refunds for lessons or classes missed due to student absence; however, one lesson missed by student may be made up at the teacher's discretion during make-up week at the end of the spring semester.
Late Policy
If you are running late, please phone ahead to alert your teacher. Do not call the Geneva School office, as the message may not reach the teacher in time. Teachers will wait for a student for 1/3 of their lesson time; students are asked to do the same. Students who are late for a lesson cannot be guaranteed their full lesson time.
Weather Cancellation Policy
GCM follows Geneva School and NYC public schools in their cancellation of after-school activities related to inclement weather.
Lesson Scheduling
Lessons will be scheduled over the summer according to faculty and student availability. Scheduling priority will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis in the order a student registers.
Financial Aid
Limited financial aid is awarded on the basis of demonstrated need. A financial aid application must be completed through TADS. See "Financial Aid" on our website to apply. Attendance, participation, and previous account history will also be taken into consideration for returning student applicants.
Tuition Discounts
- After-Hours Discount: Students whose lessons begin at 6PM or later are eligible to receive a 10% discount on their private lesson package.
- If a student withdraws from the program, the discount will be forfeited and the full amount is due.
How do I pay?
There are several ways to pay your tuition.
1) Pay tuition in full by check or through TADS, our tuition management service.
2) Payment Plan in four equal payments, administered through TADS. There is a $25 per family fee to set up a Payment Plan.
Registration and payment plan fees must be paid by check only. Checks are payable to The Geneva School of Manhattan, memo "GCM Tuition." No cash or credit card payments are accepted.
Payment Plans
Payment Plans are administered in four equal payments, due on 8/5, 9/5, 10/5, 11/5 (dates adjusted for late enrollment). All billing for GCM is conducted by TADS. Payments are made directly to TADS. TADS invoices are delivered 15 days in advance of invoice due date. TADS invoices are delivered in the method selected, postal mail or email. A late fee of $29.00 will be assessed on any invoice that is over five days late and has a balance of at least $50.00. A payment refusal fee of $29.00 will be assessed if payments made to TADS are refused for any reason by the financial institution on which such payments are drawn.
What happens if I fail to pay?
Registration forms will not be processed without the accompanying fees. Students will not be permitted to begin lessons or classes until GCM has received payment in full or first payment of Payment Plan. If payment is not received by August 3, a student is not considered registered and his/her lesson slot may be forfeited to another student. If an account falls behind in the TADS payment plan during the school year, the student's participation may be disrupted until the account is brought current. GCM reserves the right to terminate lessons if payments are not made.
Withdrawals and Refunds
GCM believes that students learn best by participating in regular, sequential instruction for an extended period of time. For this reason, GCM does not offer partial-year registration or lessons on a trial basis, except during the summer. Students register for a full year of instruction.
If an unusual circumstance arises that requires a student to withdraw, the following apply:
- If withdrawing on or before August 3, a full refund (minus registration & payment plan fee) will be given.
- After August 3, tuition will be refunded/adjusted, minus 25% of tuition, registration fee, and payment plan fee
- After the lesson day during the third week of classes, no tuition refunds/adjustments can be made.
- All requests for withdrawal must be submitted in writing to Director of The Geneva Conservatory of Music. The effective date of withdrawal is the date that written notice is received, not the last day of class or lessons attended. Students receiving financial aid forfeit their award upon withdrawal.
Can I register for a partial year or trial period?
Most students register for the entire academic year. A student may wait to register mid-year, but GCM cannot guarantee a lesson time will be available. Students may join music theory class or a chamber music group mid-year. Students new to GCM who are not sure if they wish to commit to a whole year of lessons may take trial lessons with a teacher over the summer.
Class Cancellation
GCM reserves the right to cancel a class if minimum enrollment not met. If a class is cancelled, both registration fee and tuition will be fully refunded.

We went for a restful weekend break,
just me alone with my lovely Jake,
the best times had are never planned,
I thought as we strolled across the sand,
then in the sea as I held him tight,
a total stranger picked a fight,
I thought the fighting would never stop,
until I saw my poor Jake drop,
I held his head within my hand,
as he lay there in the blood stained sand,
his heart rate dropped with every breath,
I new that Jake was near to death,
I closed my eyes and began to pray,
but my lovely Jake just slipped away,
"oh why oh why" I began to plead,
"oh why did I let him off his lead?"

July 20, 2018
Yesterday the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) has recommended that cannabis-derived medicinal products should be placed in Schedule 2 of the misuse of drugs regulations 2001, allowing them to be prescribed by clinicians.
The outcome was positive, albeit predictably cautious.
The Government has signalled that it is to concentrate on defining what constitutes cannabis derived medicine and clinical trials.
Families 4 Access are going to work with a new medical cannabis institution that launches next week, and all Government pronouncements will be rigorously scrutinised.
We remain of the view that the priority now is to engage urgently with clinicians and their professional bodies to ensure that doctors and consultants are able to make informed decisions and that there is a comprehensive assessment of cannabis-based medicines that both meet quality standards and can be imported to the UK.
This all needs to happen in the public realm, not behind closed doors.
We are committed to engaging with the media and putting families first as we move into this new era.

text: If anyone wants to duplicate the Federal GMM 155 grain load, it can be done this way: 46.0 grains of VARGET and Federal 210 GMM primmers will match the velocity and group of the factory loaded ammo. Also 2.775" OACL. Due to changes in lot #'s in primmers and powder alike, and case weights, it may not duplicate it exactly the same for everyone, but with a little adjustments one can perfect it. Load it a little more, a little less, seat the bullets father, the list is long for perfecting it. For me it was adding .5 a grain and seating them to 2.830 and the loads went from an average of .617 to an average of .394 with a gain in velocity. Oh and it is much cheaper this way!! I am still working on the 168 grain loads and have not had the chance to test all the IMR powders. What I have found though is that they are using 44.0 grains of powder, and 44.0 grains of RL-15 duplicated the group and velocity. I deducted .5 a grain and seated the 168s to 2.830 and it shoots in the .020's all day. They are not using RL-15, but it seems to duplicate their loads exactally.

It has come to our attention that on April 22, Comcast Cable put WSEC, our local PBS station, on the digital tier. Primarily, this seems to be a way for Comcast to get more money, because you will have to pay more for digital cable.
It has come to our attention that on April 22, Comcast Cable put WSEC, our local PBS station, on the digital tier. Primarily, this seems to be a way for Comcast to get more money, because you will have to pay more for digital cable.
Springfield holds the license for WSEC, and since this is the state capital, programs such as "Illinois Stories," "Capitol View" and other in-depth governmental programs will no longer be available on analog digital cable. WSEC also carries the other programs offered by PBS. Therefore, this makes no sense, except to get you to pay more.
Our taxes help to put all PBS stations on the air, so our local, licensed station should be the primary one available. If you are interested in joining us to try and keep WSEC on tier 1, please write to Comcast, Attn: Tony Ruopoli, Regional Director of Marketing, 1500 McConnor Parkway, Schaumburg, IL 60173, or call (847) 585-6704.

Both WSEC, WILL should be in local cable package
It is adding injury to insult for Comcast to cancel WSEC as part of the basic cable package in the Springfield area.
This is our local channel with not only Springfield-oriented programming on arts and events but also considerably more coverage of state government than WILL presents. Both channels are part of the Public Broadcasting System; however, they do not always carry the same material. And, even when they do, the time slots are not necessarily the same.
What is truly galling is that many PBS viewers contribute to these stations. Viewer contributions make up a large part of each station's operating budget. In return, the network gives informative programs and high quality entertainment.
We need both WSEC and WILL in this area and to be able to give generously to the stations without feeling that we are being charged an additional premium by Comcast.

Pisors always encouraged, supported his students
It is with respect, admiration and appreciation that students, parents, schoolteachers, administrators and people of all faiths remember and pray for the Rev. Thomas J. Pisors, CSV.
Father Pisors' outstanding record in teaching physics and mathematics for nearly a half century at Griffin High School and Sacred Heart-Griffin is proven by the personal success by thousands of his students who were motivated, personally tutored to expand their knowledge, and developed disciplined study habits plus strong work ethics that prepared them well for the future.
Father Pisors was highly intelligent and very special in transferring his knowledge to all members of his classes. He had skill in applying his influence to educate and personally develop young people on a daily basis. It was truly a God-given gift that Father Pisors shared his entire life.
He took pride in following his students as they continued their separate paths in higher education. He gave constant encouragement and support. We are most fortunate for the many years this great scholar spent here and gave so much in providing the very finest professional teaching. We are indeed grateful and will deeply miss him.

C.I. Greenwood's letter of April 17 was right on target about how socialism has been fed to us for so many years in small doses. We would like to see more C.I. Greenwood and less Milford Franks.

'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'
On April 17, you printed a letter from Arthur E. Spiegel. He was deriding the British for respecting their royal family.
The British have had a king or queen for more years than the United States has been a nation. Most European, Mideastern and Asiatic countries have a royal family. None of them need an unruly teenager to tell them what they should have or not have.
The fact that Americans do not feel they have to practice the protocol of the countries they visit is one of the reasons Americans are so disliked. The British have been doing just fine for hundreds of years.
A lot of the trouble in today's world has been caused by the United States' arrogant attempt to make the rest of the world live as we dictate. We're the youngsters and about the only country that doesn't respect and learn from their elders. You'll notice I put respect first.
There is an old saying: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Otherwise, stay out of their country! That also applies to the people who immigrate to the U.S. and put pressure on businesses, etc. to use language other than English.

Best government is the least government
I'm thrilled the Somali pirates were dispatched by our brave Navy Seals. Now it is time to deal with the pirates in Washington who are taking our liberty through government nanny state give-away programs and the denigration of our economy resulting from their stimulus, government-expansion programs.
America, wake up! Government doesn't "give" anything because it produces nothing and has no money except what it takes from you. Class warfare promoted by the liberals is exactly what has been done before under Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler and, yes, FDR.
The result is more government control of your resources and your life choices. At some point, that control will tip to a breaking point.
This is what King George did in the 18th century and the result was a revolution and the formation of a new country based upon the principles that man has God-given rights of which life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness were paramount.
I want my country back. I want the role of government as defined in our Constitution returned. The federal government over the past 100 years has slowly — and now not so slowly — taken on roles not delineated in the Constitution and we have allowed this to occur under the guise that it is protecting us from ourselves or from being taken advantage of by more powerful individuals.
I believe in self-reliance and not expecting someone else or the government to take care of me. Expecting others to take care of you and your needs is what socialist, progressives and communists promote.
Stand up, America. Stop expanding government. Stop raising taxes. Stop spending excessive funds. Stop pork-barrel projects.Tell them to start reducing government and its role in our lives. Start reducing spending and start eliminating laws and regulation telling individuals how to live their lives.
Remember, the best government is the least government. The federal government should be reduced to only those functions delineated in the Constitution.

Some things just make you wonder
There are some things that make you go, "Huh?"
Sarah Thomas (letters, April 19) claims gun rights groups are trying to sneak a concealed-carry bill through. She conveniently forgets to mention that the Illinois Sheriffs Association has endorsed the bill.
As far as the 57 tragic murders is concerned, machetes were quite effective in killing more than a million people in Rwanda. Firearms are used more than 2 million times a year to defend oneself, friends and family.
Sarah, you neglected to factor in the drug and gang activity in the United States versus the other countries you listed. Did you ever wonder why the gun crime rate is so high in all the cities that outlaw gun ownership — Washington, D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City — yet gun crimes are nonexistent at gun shows and National Rifle Association conventions?
Chris Britt, your cartoon on the same page is intellectually dishonest and you know it. Mexican drug dealers are using full auto AK 47s not available in the U.S. Nice try, though!
Lance Gilbert
Real reason Specter moved
The latest political turmoil coming out of Washington should firmly convince every observer of governmental process that there is a significant helping of self-interest inherent in elected political operatives.
Pennsylvania's Sen. Arlen Specter, a Republican, has announced that he is moving over to the Democratic Party due to the fact that the Republican Party is now too far to the right for his tastes. In fact, he would be facing a serious challenge in the Republican primary next year and his current action can only be interpreted as self-preservation.
Why is it that those who enter elective politics seem to be drawn by the power of the office and not by a sense of duty or desire to serve their constituents? One bite of the forbidden fruit and it is hard to consider life without that power rush.
Whenever I see one of these politicians jumping ship I shake my head and ponder whether John Q. Public is really fooled by the subsequent pandering that follows their actions.
Sadly, the electorate is too often sucked in by someone they have allowed to lead them around by the nose for years. Save us from the Arlen Specters of the world who hold themselves above the people they profess to serve.
Wake up, John Q., and use your brain for more than keeping the wind from whistling through your ears.

The current ratio is a metric used by the finance industry to assess a company's short-term liquidity. It reflects a company's ability to generate enough cash to pay off all debts should they become due at the same time. While this scenario is highly unlikely, the ability of a business to liquidate assets quickly to meet obligations is indicative of its overall financial health.
Determining the Current Ratio
The current ratio, also known as a liquidity ratio, is a simple concept that requires only two pieces of data to compute: the total current assets and the total current liabilities.
Current assets include only those assets that take the form of cash or cash equivalents, such as stocks or other marketable securities that can be liquidated quickly. Current liabilities consist of only those debts that become due within the next year. By dividing the current assets by the current liabilities, the current ratio reflects the degree to which a company's short-term resources outstrip its debts.
Ideally, a company having a current ratio of 2 would indicate that its assets equal twice its liabilities. While lower ratios may indicate a reduced ability to meet obligations, there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to a good or bad current ratio. Each company's ratio should be compared to those of others in the same industry, and with similar business models to establish what level of liquidity is the industry standard.
Calculating the Current Ratio in Excel
For very small businesses, calculating total current assets and total current liabilities may not be an overwhelming endeavor. As businesses grow, however, the number and types of debts and income streams can become greatly diversified. Microsoft Excel provides numerous free accounting templates that help to keep track of cash flow and other profitability metrics, including the liquidity analysis and ratios template.
Once you have determined your asset and liability totals, calculating the current ratio in Excel is very straightforward, even without a template.
First, input your current assets and current liabilities into adjacent cells, say B3 and B4. In cell B5, input the formula "=B3/B4" to divide your assets by your liabilities, and the calculation for the current ratio will be displayed.
As an example, let's say that a small business owner named Frank is looking to expand and needs to determine his ability to take on more debt. Before applying for a loan, Frank wants to be sure he is more than able to meet his current obligations. Frank also wants to see how much new debt he can take on without overstretching his ability to cover payments. He doesn't want to rely on additional income that may or may not be generated by the expansion, so it's important to be sure his current assets can handle the increased burden.
After consulting the income statement, Frank determines that his current assets for the year are $150,000, and his current liabilities clock in at $60,000. By dividing the assets of the business by its liabilities, a current ratio of 2.5 is calculated. Since the business has such an excellent ratio already, Frank can take on at least an additional $15,000 in loans to fund the expansion without sacrificing liquidity.

Stop stalking Kylie Jenner and start living your own dope life.
Hey beautiful,
First off, let me apologize for being MIA for a little while. I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU AGAIN! You will find out below what I have been up to *cheeky grin*.
Now, let's talk Kardashian/Jenners. We all have one that we feel a little bit of a personal connection to, or a slight girl-crush/obsession with their hair, make-up, clothes and lifestyle.
I am not going to tell you I think they are great role models or anything, but there are certainly enviable traits about each of them.
Great news, the lifestyle you desire, is achievable for you, and you can get it sans sex-tape.
For today's post we are going to focus on Kylie.
Kylie has lips for days, wicked hair, her own app, her own lipstick line, a ridiculous #girlsquad AND does a ton of charity work including the launch of a massive anti-bullying campaign.
So let's break all of this out into how YOU can "have it all" too.
Look sexy 24/7:
This requires a lot less "getting ready time" than you would think.
You have to feel good on the inside to look good on the outside....which means:
Treat yourself like your own best friend. I fully balled my eyes out the first time I heard this (yes it was in public, yes it was slightly embarrassing).
I used to be so incredibly ruthless with myself and it was not until I lightened up that I had the energy to find a workout routine that I love, value my curves and treat my body like a temple (sometimes it is a temple of red wine, but that's just grapes so it's okay).
Don't forget to meditate EVERY DAY with a positive mantra about how sexy you are.
And THAT, my friend, is when the beauty happens.
Be part of a wicked #girlsquad:
They say that you are a product of the 5 people you spend the most time with.This is shockingly accurate.
Two amazing things happened once I started going after my dreams and developed a daily practice of meditation and visualization:
1) I met new entrepreneur friends that boost me up.
2) My existing circle started going after THEIR dreams as well!
Amazing things start to show up in your life once you start living your passion.
Me and Gigi Hadid will be besties in no time.
Being able to give back:
This is something very dear to me because "I don't have enough" used to be my anthem, and I am so glad it is no longer.
This is all about money mindset. If you have not heard of this term, Google it ASAP and get to work (or email me).
Once you re-write your own money story and gain control, you can stop pinching your pennies and start manifesting some serious cashola so you can give back.
Start small: tip your barista, volunteer your time, pick up the tab for happy hour with a bestie.
Have a business of your own:
This is so much easier than you think. Once you can get past the insecurities and JUST GO FOR IT, you can actually do anything.
It may seem overwhelming but if I can do it, you can do it. You just need to break it off into small actionable steps.
I sat on my business ideas for 3 YEARS until I finally got the help I needed and within 2 months I had launched my first business and started making sales!

Courtesy of Denis Hayes
Denis Hayes left his graduate studies at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government to help organize the first Earth Day in 1970. Twenty years later he took the movement worldwide and established the first international Earth Day. Today, Hayes is the president and CEO of the Bullitt Foundation, a Seattle-based environmental foundation aimed to protect the natural environment of the Pacific Northwest. He's also served on the board of a number of environmental organizations including, Greenpeace USA, World Resources Institute, The American Solar Energy Society, The Energy Foundation and the League of Conservation Voters.
How urgent of a problem is climate change?
It transcends urgency. We began the transition to a super efficient renewable-based economy, with several faltering steps, back in the Carter administration. And if we had kept on going forward and achieved the goals laid out back then—20% was the low goal, 25% was the high goal for the nation's energy taken from renewables by the year 2000—then today we would have a good head of steam and momentum and we would have begun to lead the world in a transition to mitigate the effects of climate change.
Instead, we've moved aggressively in the wrong direction, dramatically increased our energy use and become ever more dependent on forms that are not only vulnerable to geopolitical factors but are climatically catastrophic. It's now too late to avoid Katrinas and desecration of farmlands in many parts of the planet, spreading deserts and coral bleaches and all the other phenomena. Everybody says "When is it too late?" It's too late to avoid some things, but it's never too late to avoid the ultimate catastrophe, one hopes.
What do you think of the Bush administration response to the environment?
Well, it's overall response on environmental issues, with very few exceptions, has been to move aggressively in the wrong direction: From loosening environmental standards, dramatically relaxing enforcement, trying to sell off many of the treasures of our public land. Not only refusing to participate in that feeble first step of Kyoto, but aggressively trying in international conferences to undermine the ability of the rest of the world to do so. It's hard to imagine how it could have performed worse. With regard to its energy plan, some of its rhetoric was very attractive, and one hopes that it eventually will be reflected in new budgetary priorities. But nothing meaningful has happened thus far.
What's the biggest priority to address regarding the environment?
In some sense, I guess, I try to define the priorities in terms of opportunities instead of what are the greatest threats. Implicit in solving the climate problem is making a transition to a new set of resources, many of which are at the cutting edge of intriguing fields of science. I mean, to move into increasing reliance on photovoltaics is to move to some of the most sophisticated energy sources out there. Once you've actually manufactured them, they are simplicity itself; they simply lay in the sunshine and produce electricity. But driving them down the cost curve, following the paths of the semiconductor industry, figuring out how we get them integrated into existing control systems for utilities, solving the storage problem—these are the kinds of things that can be an intellectual challenge akin to an Apollo project or Manhattan Project. To get there in the next 30 years would require a mobilization effort akin to the mobilization for WWII.
The disconnect between the seriousness of the problem, the size of the opportunities presented and even the boldest plans being advocated by our political leader is more staggering than any other time that I've been involved in environmental issues.
How do you do your part in healing our relationship with our planet?
I'd say the most important single thing a person can do on the planet and in the US: I chose to have only one child. It's an underappreciated environmental issue, but if the population continues to grow, we might as well throw in the towel on anything else. I drive a Prius, I drive it as little as possible—I probably average 4,000-5,000 miles per year. I do a lot of biking and walking.
Is the public responsive to environmental issues?
Where we've been, where we build the most vital organizations are when people are trying to stop a freeway from cutting through their neighborhoods or local chapters of some organization are trying to create a new trail through a green space that's nearby: Stuff that hits close to home; that they can touch with their hands and see that they are affecting themselves; that they can derive personal benefit or avoid personal threat.
We've got to get somehow that same motivation and deep passion of caring attached to issues that are national, regional and global. I guess if I were looking at the last 35 years I'd see what is a failure of environmentalism: to create the level of concern that is necessary for people who happen to be born on the other side of some border from the view that we are all in this together.
Are there any leaders or people that you see?
The environmental movement is more anonymous; we have organizations. People know the Sierra Club. Few people know Carl Pope. People know the NRDC. Few people know John Adams and on and on. What we've done is produce a movement that has a great deal of strength and resilience in the fact that it is identified with organizations. And even when the heads of those organizations occasionally make mistakes or get into trouble, it doesn't hurt the group so much or the movement. I'm guessing if you took a poll of Americans today and asked them to identify an environmentalist, probably the person who would get the most attention would be Al Gore.
What do you think the earth will look like in 100 years?
If we are lucky, the average temperature will be no more than about a 1.5, 2° C higher than it is right now. There will be more frequent storms. Hopefully the epidemic of extinction will not be more than 20 or 25 percent of the species that are currently on the Earth. This is if we make a heroic effort at this point to turn things around by 2050 and convert three-quarters of all the commercial energy use on the planet to things that are not net carbon contributors to the atmosphere.
What is the biggest detriment to the environmental movement as a whole?
I guess if I were trying to come up with one, it would be that we've gotten bogged down in complexity. When environmentalists tend to talk about problems, it becomes a very science-based, economics-based, policy-based movement in a way that doesn't resonant with folks on the street. The strength of environmentalism has seldom been to produce a brilliant policy assessment that convinces the intellectual and power elites of a country to voluntarily bring top down change.
What are you going to do for Earth Day?
In some sense contradict everything I just said—though we are going to buy green tags to make the whole thing carbon neutral. But I'm afraid I'm making my contribution to the climate problem: I'm going to give a talk at Duke University. [Then, I am going to] fly to Holland, where we are doing something that's talking about the unique climactic threats that are facing a country that is almost entirely below sea level. And finally, I'll close it off in Kiev in the Ukraine on the 20th anniversary of Chernobyl [Aprl 26th].

Guest Curated by Barbara Carrasco
Opening Night Reception: Saturday, October 11, 2008 from 7-10 pm
The Avenue 50 Studio presents our exhibition in honor of Dia De Los Muertos, "Secretos y Cartas de los Muertos". This innovative art exhibit has as its premise the intimate letters, some containing secrets, purportedly written by individuals who have passed on from the physical to the spiritual world. With the traditional theme of Dia de los Muertos serving as the foundation, our artists have written and/or illustrated these new letter works revealing secrets. Along side our visual artists, writers Tiffany Ana Lopez and Gloria Alvarez have worked collaboratively with several artists to create insightful letters from the dead.
Letters written by our departed loved ones hold a special meaning for us as constant reminders of the lives they have led, and of their profound impact on our lives. Some of us may live in fear of our secrets being exposed, while others are secure in knowing that no one will ever know what our secrets might be. What if we were given the opportunity to discover and reveal secrets or letters from those who are longer with us?
The text and images in this exhibition will allow our artists to reveal Secretos y Cartas de los Muertos.
October 11, 2008 through November 2, 2008
Opening Reception: Saturday, October 11, 2008, 7-10 pm

A Peek into Baby Haddad's Nursery
Crib: Babyletto | Glider: Babyletto | Changing Table: Babyletto | Ottoman, Prints, End Table, Bedding: Home Goods | Daybed: Ikea | Lamp: Target | Shelf: Target
While we took some newborn photos of Miss Amira a few weeks ago I had my photographer Lauren shoot some quick pictures of the nursery to share with you all! Since we rent our apartment we couldn't necessarily glam it up as much as I would have wanted to but I love the way that it came out! I kept the overall theme neutral with a grey, white, gold, and blush color scheme. Adding a daybed was something I really wanted to incorporate and we found this awesome option from Ikea. I of course replaced the original pulls with brass ones because I'm EXTRA but I love the way it came out. Our main goal was to create a space that felt very clean, chic, but most importantly was practical for our baby and I feel like we accomplished just that!
Ps. Apologies for the slightly messy bed and my not so chic wipe warmer on the changing table LOL. These little imperfections made it into the shots because...LIFE!

Hollow Men – The Crowd:
The History: This is my story and I'm sticking to it… for now.
Like some of the other Hollow Men paintings, this one is filled with joy and colours… Unlike the others, this one was done with a different motivation. It stemmed from a comment my father made regarding the craziness of our family gatherings. I love the idea of people dancing freely in a jumble of bliss. It's like catching a group mid-pose… invariably many expressions seam just silly.
The Technique: How I did this awesomeness!
I started with the outline of the figures, drawing them with graphite. I then painted in the larger areas with bold colours, before playing with lighter washes of acrylic to give some contours. I did them slowly and with a dryer brush, to give a less solid look. I wanted things to float around each other… to get that sudden stop, with impending movement feel. I finished with redoing the outlines and adding a little dry brushing for effect.
The Influence: Confessions of a Plagiarist, sort of…
The main influences are the animation seen in Pink Floyd The Wall and possibly some of the animated work crated by Terry Gilliam in his Monty Python shorts. The literary inspiration was from an amazing poem by T.S. Elliot of the same name. I have a hard time pulling a single indicative line from The Hollow Men, because every line feeds this series of drawings in its own way. I strongly suggest you visit it.
Inspire Others When you buy The Artist's Stuff: Prints, Mugs, T-Shirts, Pillow, Shower Curtains, and other awesome stuff.
What inspires an artist?
"All they see" is the first and most literal answer.
For me, that is literally hundreds of gallery & museum exhibits, thousands of books, and tens of thousands of images online.
When asked where to start a book collections, I almost always recommend these art bibles: Janson's "History of Art" OR Phaidon's "The Art Book" Both give a nice overview with good pictures. Once you've discovered what you are attracted to there most, you can then dig deeper into that area.
If I had to pick only a few of my major influences, which is a very difficult task, it would be Modigliani, Picasso, Van Gogh, & Andrew Wyeth. Here are a few of the best books I recommend from them.
Modigliani: Drawings 102 Colour Plates
Picasso: The Man and His Work – Part 2

If you have the time, you are free to visit my GoodReads library to see a fraction of the books I've read. The ones I remember, that is. Or you can visit the ever growing collection of images on my Pinterest account.
The Materials: Quick! Order this stuff right now, AND You too, can make masterpieces!
Stretched Canvas: The Review: Sargent brand offers a double primed surface, which allows you to use less paint on the painting and to take advantage of the pure white for building up layers and depth. As you get more comfortable with your materials, you may find something that suits you better. I get a private label brand at my local Omer Des Serres. nb: I put a sample of a different size as a link to buy some and you can get these in almost any size!
Amsterdam Acrylic Paints: The Review: I've chosen Amsterdam because the colours tend to be sharper and more vibrant. Also, it is relatively easy to find them in the more economical tubs, instead of the tubes. When I'm mixing or diluting the paint I've often gone for the less expensive Pebeo brand for its better viscosity. If you are working in a style that resembles impasto or using a pallet knife approach, then I strongly recommend using the Windsor & Newton brand in tubes, for the thicker and richest colours.
Nylon Paint Brushes: Here's a great starter kit from Hero Neo, but Windsor & Newton make my favourites. The Review: There are many to choose from and lots of cheap ones out there, but you will want to aim for a little more when you see how fast the glue holding in the hairs fails with cheap brushes. I tend to have a fan, several flat heads, a large round head, and a fine tip for lining. Play with them and see what works best for you. Make sure to stick with nylon to start and always be fastidious about keeping your brushes clean. It makes the difference between having a brush for only a week and having some for close to 30 years, like mine.
Photoshop for Mac: The Review: You could use the free " MAC Photos" program or Picassa and possibly get the same results, but Photoshop offers you the flexibility of presenting yourself as a pro photographer, like no other program. There's a reason it's considered the best of the best, after all. So, this allows you the possibility of selling this service to others and funding more of your creativity
Apple MacBook Pro 15.4″ Laptop:The Review: You may choose to get an iMac for the bigger screen, and I couldn't disagree with the beauty of working with the 24" screen. I picked the laptop, because of the need to be mobile and the flexibility of multi-purposing it to use for client demos. As an alternative to the weight of this model, I would suggest the MacBook Air 13". Most of us have become accustomed to mobile device size screens and it is much easier to carry around.
Camera: Canon EOS Rebel T6 DSLR: The Review: My first DSLR camera was the EOS Rebel T3. This one is vastly superior to the old model. Canon has a well deserved reputation of having top rated cameras. It requires a little play time to master it, and that time will be lessened by defining a clear idea of what you want to do with it, then jumping on YouTube for the multitude of How To videos. If you want a smaller camera to carry around, try Canon EOS M10 Mirrorless Digital Camera OR go small & powerful with the Canon PowerShot Digital Camera with 3-Inch LCD & built in wifi.
Canon PIXMA MX492 Inkjet Printer:The Review: For me this has been the easiest to us for cleaning and cartridge replacement. It works reasonably well with recycled inks and the wireless is easy to set-up. The Canon has worked best for me on ink usage. When purchasing printers, always consider the cost of ink replacement… for the most part, this is the big difference right now in printers. For big reproduction lines it is better to outsource. For scanning, they are as good as the camera in them… this is one reason I'm a fan of Canon products. It does do a nice job on printing photos on good photo paper, and the black print is crisp and clean, provided you do regular cleanings and keep it dust free.

Devan's life hasn't been simple and success certainly wasn't handed to him on a silver platter. He has faced obstacles, defeat, and disappointment. Seven years ago, Devan was sitting alone in a hotel room– devastated. After setting his sights on making it to the big leagues, Devan had just been released from the San Francisco Giants organization after his third spring training. All he could think to himself was "What comes next?"
Devan heard one message echoing through his mind – keep moving. He decided then and there that this was merely an obstacle and this would not slow him down. By the time he stepped off the plane on his way home, he had realized the new direction he wanted in life. And it's brought him here, to this very moment where a new list of names defines him – co-founder and CEO or Burn Boot Camp, fitness trainer, entrepreneur, investor, husband, and father.
Devan's will to simply keep moving has allowed him to invest in business opportunities like Burn Media Co., engage with people through the Devan Kline Podcast, connect with industry leaders on the Devan Kline show, and even write a book (stay tuned!). The greatest honor of it all? Reaching over 20,000 clients nationwide. That number matters to him because it's 20,000 (and growing) who have made the choice to keep moving with him. Together, they are going places.

There is no evidence to show that caffeine in tea is harmful. In fact, most studies point to the many health benefits of tea caffeine, which is different than coffee.
If you're worried about the caffeine found in our black, green and white teas, you might be interested to read more about how, for most people, the caffeine in tea doesn't affect them as negatively as the caffeine in coffee. This is because tea contains an amino acid called l-theanine, which calms and focuses the mind, helping to counteract any of the "jitters" or crashes you might associate with coffee.
Caffeine in tea is also bound to catechins to form a larger molecule that takes more time for your body to break down and digest, therefore creating a time-released effect of caffeine that's unique to tea. Unless you have a medical reason for avoiding caffeine, we suggest you try starting your day with just one cup of black or Oolong tea and seeing how you feel -- especially if you're trying to work on your gut health.

An interesting question is whether enforcement of such violations might improve the parking availability on gridlock summer weekends in Ocean Grove? Yes, because enforcement promotes obeying the law, and that will insure a less chaotic parking function in this town including less resentment. And of course, there are a number of safety issues.
And even a Bond car should get a ticket—the equal justice clause:

Tropical Fish Food Products
I wanted to find a product that would be the best value for money and be a good quality, and this was the best product so far,
The price shown is the actual price (which i LOVE) because all the other products have quite a bit more for packaging, which is just confusing if you don't look closely.
It came in good packaging , that i could easily handle and then transfer into a pot for the fish food. (Basically a strong ans sturdy bag).
The food came in large flakes, which was good as i didn't want them all crumpled together, i could then easily brake them up into smaller pieces.
I will order again in a few months, because there really is a lot!

How Do You Make Colorforms Stick Again?
Colorforms are a brand of window clings. Over time they can lose their ability to stick to a window. These vinyl sheets are usually used with a piece of coated plastic as the play surface, but by using static cling, Colorforms can hold on to any clean, dry surface. If your Colorforms no longer stick, do not throw them away. There is a single, simple way to get your Colorforms to stick like new again. Place the water into a large bowl. Mix a few drops of soap into the water in the bowl. Stir the water to create suds. Add the Colorforms into the soapy water. Stir the Colorforms around in the water with your hand. Pull the Colorforms out of the soapy water and rinse well. Place the Colorforms on the cooling rack until they are completely dry. Let them air dry.

FSC GA 2017 Day 4: Observations & Comments
MixedWood continues to follow and participate in a number of engaged discussions on several topics at the FSC 2017 General Assembly (GA) in Vancouver this week. We continue to be impressed with the quality of cross-chamber, collaborative policy and decision making. Lots of enthusiastic and talented people are doing a great deal of speaking and listening. A lot of learning is going on along with slow progress towards some challenging policy conclusions.
This post will offer some short observations and comments on a few topics that we find particularly interesting & important.
FSC Controlled Wood: Time To Do No Harm
Among the "hot topics" under discussion this week at the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) 2017 General Assembly is Controlled Wood. This subject has been controversial from the moment the idea was introduced over 10 years ago. Readers of the MixedWood blog know that it has been a regular and productive topic for us as well. For anyone who needs a review, please click here for our summary from last November.
FSC GA 2017 Day 1: Governance & Strategy
As we mentioned in our last post (just this morning), MixedWood is attending and participating in the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) 2017 General Assembly, underway this week in the beautiful city of Vancouver, British Columbia. Today was the opening session of the 6-day meeting, and we were impressed to see a crowd already gathered when registration opened this morning. Over 750 people are registered and more expected to join us later in the week. The participants are a remarkably diverse and engaged group of people. We are expecting an interesting and active week.
MixedWood at FSC GA 2017
Regular readers of this blog may have wondered where we have been for the last several months. The answer, of course, is complicated. But one good excuse has been a very busy season for FSC Controlled Wood consulting. If you are among the folks still struggling with this process, please click here to see our last post on the subject.
More Risky Business for Controlled Wood
Today's subject – once again – is the FSC Controlled Wood system. A major transition is underway in the community of FSC-certified companies. The long-awaited transition from FSC-STD-40-005 version 2-1 (in place and largely unchanged since 2007) to version 3-1 is fully underway everywhere. Certification Bodies (CB's) are actively updating their protocols and training their auditors. Certified companies are coming to grips with the decision to either adapt and accept the new standard or drop out of the program. We don't have a good estimate for the latter group, but anecdotal evidence suggests it may approach 50%.
FSC Chain of Custody – Version 3-0
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) published a long-awaited update to the important Chain of Custody standard earlier this winter. If you are a regular reader of this blog, and you have not yet looked at version 3-0 of the FSC Chain of Custody standard, we recommend that you do. Follow this link to the publication announcement that was posted on 1 February. You can download the final document here, as well as an interesting "crosswalk" document which compares versions 2-1 and 3-0.
A new Chain of Custody from FSC – almost
The long, long process of updating the Forest Stewardship Council's (FSC's) important Chain of Custody (CoC) standard may finally be nearing an end. We learned, along with others at the regional meeting last week in New York City, that the Board of Directors has approved a final version of FSC-STD-40-004 v.3-0. Earlier this week, the staff posted a short Decision Record giving hints about what is coming.
Who is the Forest Stewardship Council?
Next week, the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) will be hosting a "Regional Membership Meeting" at the Stern School of Business in downtown Manhattan. This meeting is the last of a series of regional meetings held over the last few months at selected locations around the world; including Bali, Bonn, Johannesburg, Moscow, Lima, and now New York City.
FSC Controlled Wood Transition: a sorry mess
It has been nearly a year since the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) published the latest version of its Controlled Wood (CW) standard (FSC-STD-40-005 v.3-0). MixedWood introduced the new version, in an article written last January, this way:
This update has been in the works for nearly 5 years and the subject of seemingly endless discussion, debate, analysis, and hand-wringing. Two discussion drafts were released – the first in the fall of 2013 and the second in late 2014. This final, approved document – sadly – bears little resemblance to either of them. More importantly, because the FSC system relies on a complex series of interconnected documents and guidelines, this new, approved standard represents only a piece of an ongoing revision process for the Controlled Wood System that promises to continue for some time to come (click here to see lots and lots of detail).
We were confident that, by the end of 2016 the challenges of this important update would be well understood, and that implementation of the new standard would be well underway. As with so many predictions concerning the FSC, we were wrong.
FSC and the ILO: beyond self-declaration
By far the most consistent theme explored in this space has been the persistent and frustrating insistence on the part of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) to complicate and confuse the subject of supply chain traceability. Our principal tool for supply chain traceability is, of course, Chain of Custody (CoC) certification. And at its root, CoC is simple, or at least it ought to be.

Using Boolean search terms
You can refine your searches with some of the commonly used Boolean search terms. Most of these results can be better achieved by using the Only Show filters but if you're familiar with Boolean logic you might want to use both methods.
Some examples of searches using Boolean logic:
AND is the default search for EYB so there is no need to put AND in your searches e.g. entering chicken AND zucchini to find recipes that use both chicken and zucchini will show the same results as entering chicken zucchini
OR to find recipes that have either of the criteria e.g. find recipes that use either chicken or zucchini - enter chicken OR zucchini
to find recipes that exclude a search term e.g. find recipes that use chicken but not zucchini - enter chicken -zucchini. Be aware our linking of ingredients so both show up in a word search (e.g. courgettes/zucchini) may result in some odd-seeming results.
by adding a * to the end of a word you will find all recipes beginning with that string of characters e.g. find all recipes that use pomegranates by the author Raghavan Iyer (useful if you can't remember how to spell words) - enter pomeg* ragh*
A more complex use of these terms e.g. find all chicken recipes that use zucchini but do not use corn or stock and is not a soup - enter chicken and (zucchini -corn or -stock or -soup)

I am interested in the intersection of craft and industrial fabrication. Consumer and fashion trends saturate our life in an endless echo chamber of branding and nostalgia. I enjoy peering into this chasm through a solitary hands-on sculptural practice. Nowadays, many artists employ the same methods of manufacturing that are found in the consumer landscape. Outsourcing, fabrication, and mass production are well-established tools in the contemporary artist toolbox. However, I reject these processes of artistic industrial fabrication to address the issues of pop imagery and consumerism in a different way. Using materials of humble scale, weight and substance (mostly foam) his objects are hand-made employing basic
tools in the most time consuming manner. The end result is an object that mimics the look of industrial fabrication and relishes the geometry and beauty of consumerism.
