How to Throw a Stylish, Eco-Friendly Party
Want to turn your event into the sustainable party of the year?
5 min read
Planning a party? From birthdays to baby showers, you can throw an environmentally-friendly celebration that will be kind to the earth and save you money. Our party culture is rife with disposable decorations, plates, napkins and cups, and events can generate tons of waste. Here are some tips on how to let the good times roll without putting a strain on Mother Nature.
- Sending digital invites not only saves you money on postage, it also reduces paper waste.
- Latex and Mylar balloons can't be recycled and create unnecessary waste. When released, they can pose a risk to animals and pollute natural environments. Opt for lanterns made from recycled paper instead. Follow the instructions here to make your own using upcycled fabrics and wrapping paper.
- Forego the disposable decorations and get yourself some fabric bunting. Fabric bunting can be reused for every occasion. You can even make your own by following the tutorial here.
- Most cut flowers are imported from warmer climates and carry a hefty carbon footprint. They are treated with a cocktail of pesticides, many of which are banned in Canada and the U.S. Instead of cut flowers, get flowing potted plants which you can distribute to guests as party favours once your celebration is done.
- Using crockery and cutlery not only means that you avoid the waste that disposables create, it also takes your celebration up a notch. Wash your dirty dishes in the dishwasher with the 'heated dry' setting turned off to save on energy.
- Use linen table cloths and napkins to cut down on waste. Adding a towel to your dryer or drying linens on the line will reduce energy usage.
- Encourage guests to take left-over food home to reduce waste.
- Create a discussion group on a social network, so party guests who live close to each other can carpool to your event. Include public transport and biking routes in your invitation.
- Using party lights? Always opt for LEDs and try to get solar-powered ones where possible. Soya-candles are also a great energy-saving lighting option.
- When catering, focus on seasonal, organic fare that is locally grown.
- 32% of greenhouse gas emissions are caused by beef farming, so opt for more vegetarian dishes and sustainable seafood.
- It takes seven litres of water to create a plastic bottle, so aim to serve drinks in bulk rather than small bottles of water or cans of soda.
- Serve fair-trade coffee and organic juices, beer and wine.
- Provide condiments in bulk, so as to avoid the waste generated by all those tiny packets.
- Place recycling bins around the venue, so that guests don't throw recyclables in the trash.
- Compost any food waste that your party generates.
- Clean up with natural cleaning products or make your own from ingredients you have in your kitchen.

Itoh Peony Cora Louise
Itoh peony Cora Louise is a new hybrid peony, it is a perfect cross between a tree and a bush peony that accents the best characteristics of both. The itoh peony Cora Louise stays upright like a tree peony, loads of blooms like a bush peony. The itoh peony Cora Louise has huge wonderful smelling yellow double blooms. It is zoned 4-9.
Peonies are outrageously beautiful when in bloom, with lush foliage all summer long. These perennials may live longer than you, some have been known to thrive for 100 or more years. The plants require little to no maintenance as long as they are planted properly and establish themselves; they do not respond very well to transplanting.
Peonies take your breath away every spring. They're hardy to Zone 3 and grow well as far south as Zones 7 and 8. In most of the country, the rules for success are simply full sun and well-drained soil. Peonies even relish cold winters, because they need chilling for bud formation.
Peonies make fine sentinels lining walkways and a lovely low hedge. After its stunning bloom, the peony's bushy clump of handsome glossy green leaves lasts all summer, and then turns purplish or gold in the fall, as stately and dignified as any shrub.

Law of Attraction in Relationships, part 2
Why Did My "Perfect Partner" Leave Me?
Part two of a two-part series– see yesterday's blog post for part one.
My guest blogger is Rebecca Hanson (Global Law of Attraction Training Center) with part two in this terrific series about attracting your right relationship. Here's Rebecca:
In part one of this series, we examined: "Why am I NOT in a relationship with the love of my life?" If you missed that article, click here to read it.
In Part 2, we'll look at why a seemingly "perfect partnership" falls apart and how to turn such a disappointment or pain into great personal growth.
So, you made your list of what you want in a guy (or gal) and you attracted THE ONE. You just know this is THE ONE because they seem to fulfill every desire on your list. WOW! You didn't know you were so powerful, did you? In fact, the realization of just how powerful you are can make your head spin–your vibration soars! And "Oh, I just know this is the perfect person," becomes your mantra. You begin to see each other often. You spend lots of time discussing everything from your favorite color to foods and sharing life experiences. Where has this person been? Why did it take us so long to find each other? In your mind and imagination, you can see the two of you together forever.
And then, it may be weeks, or months later, you are NOT together and you wonder, "Did I do something wrong? Is the Universe playing tricks on me? I thought this was THE ONE. What happened?" They found someone else. Or you discover something about them that caused you to withdraw from them. Maybe you just drifted apart. One thing is true, the disappointment of this relationship has released a tirade of self-depreciation and reinforced the old tapes–"It might happen for others, but it won't happen for me" and "I've missed my one chance at true love!"
Let's look at three reasons why a seemingly "perfect relationship" might not last forever:
Reason # 1: We've changed.
The Law of Attraction teaches us that we attract people, opportunities, situations and things that are in harmony with our dominant vibration. What happens, sometimes, is that people are harmonious for a while, and then one person makes a decision or changes and sets themselves on a path that no longer harmonizes with our vibration.
Here's a little graph to illustrate what happens when people change vibrationally:
While your vibrations were in sync at first, somewhere down the road, you begin to take different paths and the synchronicity is not there.
Reason # 2: My list of desires was incomplete.
You did not realize that some things in a relationship are very important until the relationship ended. Do you remember the lady who wrote to me in part one of this series? She had not realized how important it is to attract a lover who has healed from past hurts. While she is still in love with this man, he could not remain in the relationship, due to his fear that she would one day leave him as his former lover had. To protect himself, he ended the relationship with the writer. He simply was not ready for a deep lasting relationship. Now, this lady has "healed and ready to commit" at the top of her list!
Reason # 3: I am learning Self-acceptance.
Your Higher Self is ready for you to evolve into a more complete self-acceptance. That's right — your Higher Self knows just how much you depend on others for your self-esteem and so it sets the stage for a dramatic (and often painful) situation.
This Higher Self is the True You. The One you've shied away from. The YOU you've avoided for so long. Your Higher Self has a message for you and wants your attention. It will have your attention sooner or later. And the sooner, the easier the lesson.
I have a client who is being confronted with this lesson and it is so painful to watch her struggle with it. The GOOD NEWS is that our Higher Self only wants our highest good and that includes:
KNOWING yourself
ACCEPTING yourself
HONORING yourself
TRUSTING yourself
LOVING yourself.
Once we believe that we ARE magnificent, delicious, marvelously designed spirits having a human experience–that there is NOTHING WRONG with us–that we ARE COMPLETE–that we don't need another human to make us whole–then we are ready for the most delightful, deep, satisfying personal relationships. All our desires will manifest in many meaningful and/or intimate relationships.
Ask yourself:
"Am I willing to learn more about myself so I can accept all parts of myself?"
"Am I willing to assign my own sense of worth or value?"
"Do I love and care for myself enough to 'grieve and get over' the lost lover?"
"Can I use this opportunity to understand myself better?"
If you ARE willing to grow and learn more about yourself through a difficult loss of a relationship, chances are you will attract someone into your life whose vibration is in beautiful harmony with yours. [© 2003-2010 R. Hanson Enterprises Inc.]

It is the home of my brother, Erv, on Manor Drive in Mason City, Iowa. I was visiting from the west coast and was staying with my mother, who lived just a half a block away. My sister-in-law Audie had asked me to babysit my niece, Lisa, so she could go for a hair appointment. I eagerly agreed to the request. On my last visit Lisa had been at that infant-in-the-crib stage, when she slept a lot, and all she did when she was awake was gurgle. I felt the time had finally come for some intense bonding between Uncle Ralph and his first niece. Lisa still wasn't walking, but she could sit up unsupported, so Audie sat her down on the floor in the center of their bright and comfortable living room, placed a few of her toys around her, told me she would be back in a couple of hours and departed. As the door closed, I knelt down before Lisa, prepared to begin the process of her getting acquainted with her uncle and was greeted by a most ferocious, shrill shrieking. I picked up some of the toys and tried to amuse her; I made faces to try to entertain her. Nothing halted that howling hyena. If anything it inspired an increase in the volume emanating from that tiny virago that didn't subside until Audie's return as promised an eternity-seeming two hours later.
The day Marlyn and I stopped by the Monterey Film Commission to see Karen Nordstrand (the day she gave us the suggestion of Toastie's restaurant in Pacific Grove), she also recommended we check out the library on the campus of California State University of Monterey Bay as a possible location for our Book Fair, a three-page sequence that was very important, because that was when and where our two main characters, Lily and Charles, meet. It was the set that caused me the most consternation. At a studio the set would have been designed by the art director, constructed and erected on a soundstage under his supervision and dressed by the set decorator with furniture and props drawn from their voluminous prop department. I knew that unlike the interiors of Lily's and Charles' houses, the cabin, and a restaurant, it was a set with two major requirements: finding a location large enough to house the sequence and then filling that empty space with the necessary furniture and props to create our Book Fair. Grateful for Karen's suggestion, we relayed to our production staff the names she gave us of the contacts at the university. My knowledge of what happened during the next few weeks is very spotty. I was told our people had difficulty connecting with the university contacts; telephone calls were not returned. As I remember, it was weeks later that one of our staff finally met someone at the university and viewed the library in question. I didn't get any approval or disapproval of the site, because he was informed that the date we would be requiring it for filming would fall in the midst of final exam week, thereby making it unavailable.
I was told the staff was then checking out the Marina library. Marina is the northernmost community on the Monterey Peninsula. A friend who lives in Marina assured me that there was a room there that would be very appropriate. This all occurred as we approached a weekend, and with new restrictive hours at libraries our staff was unable to establish a contact until the following week. Over the weekend, anticipating the possibility of failure to secure the Marina Library, I remembered attending a performance by my friend, Larry Wilde, at the Carmel Foundation. It was in a very large room with a stage at one end. I suggested that Marlyn and I check it out. We made a call to the foundation and set up an appointment with a charming lady whose name I've forgotten, but whose contribution to our film is indelibly imprinted on my consciousness. The date we required for our filming was not available, but she suggested we go one block north to the Church of the Wayfarer, which we did and met Ilona, who took us to a large room a few steps from her office.
There were absolutely no negatives. The date we needed to film was available; the remuneration was agreeable, and Ilona told us we would be free to move anything around to suit our needs, plus we would have access to use any articles of furniture and props throughout the building. I felt as though I had died and gone to heaven, and where better to do it than in a wood paneled room in a church.
To return to that howling monster in my brother's living room, she grew up, graduated from Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, with a major in art and followed her fiancé to Chicago, where she began her employment dressing the windows and floor displays for Neiman Marcus (she referred to the organization as Neiman Markup). Her work soon caught the eye of a local commercial photographer, who wooed her to come work as his photo stylist. There, with her new married name of Lisa Lupo, she was responsible for everything that went before his cameras: models, make-up, wardrobe, scenery, props. Over time Lisa's work caught the eye of the producer of a local television show, and she was hired to design the occasional sets needed as supplements for the show's main standing set. The show was the daily THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW.
It was after I retired and moved from Hollywood to Carmel, California, that Lisa relocated to the west coast. Our professional paths had not crossed – until now. Once I accepted Marlyn Mason's bid to direct THE RIGHT REGRETS, I asked Lisa to be my production designer. No longer screaming on the floor and happily for me, she accepted.
She became more than my production designer. Lisa took over management of wardrobe. Marlyn and Maxwell had brought many articles of clothing to Carmel, and Lisa met with them and selected their wardrobe for each sequence. She became my prop department; she brought a car load of items from her home and raided mine mercilessly for whatever she saw that she could use to dress the various location sets. But the day she really shone as a star was our eighth day of filming at the Church of the Wayfarer. Pre-filming I went with her to the Church and outlined my proposed staging. My original plan had been to use only the large room, keeping the doors to the other rooms closed, but that day I decided I would open the doors to the church library. It gave an added depth to the set, but there was one possible problem; there was a very large window with Venetian blinds in the back wall with a glaring white building outside. Brandon and his crew took care of that by applying a sheet of amber-colored gel to the windowpane. Monday, April 8, on our day off and two days before we were to film, Lisa returned to the church, and Ilona took her through the many rooms so Lisa could see what pieces of furniture she could use. The only restriction was they could not be moved until the day of filming.
The crew call for Wednesday was 8:00 am. I went to the Church with Lisa at 7:00 am, as she took a lamp, some paintings, many books (and several small artifacts that I didn't realize were used until I viewed these photos) from my home and with art director Ryan Gibson she turned that large empty room into a charming Book Fair. She was meticulous; each table, each chest, the large bookcase — all were dressed with the same precise and artistic detail as her Nieman Marcus windows in Chicago and her hundreds of stills for commercial and fashion photography.
The meeting of Lily and Charles took place at his table.
All of the dialogue in the scene occurred at that table, but I wanted to see more of the Book Fair, so I filmed some establishing shots to introduce the sequence, but again because of the restricted time, one of them ended up on the cutting room floor.
The previous Friday when we had filmed at the Potigian house, Lilliana Potigian had prepared lunch for cast and crew. At the end of the day she informed us that she wanted to do it again. When she found out the church had a large professional kitchen, the day we filmed the Book Fair was the time she selected. She arrived early in the morning with all of her supplies, and by the lunch break she had a complete meal, soup to dessert for a very appreciative cast and crew.
Lilliana and Marlyn
And finally photographer David Potigian, having missed the previous day in Salinas, was back with us with his powerful camera and incredible eye. He filmed all of the film clips and stills.
The next day, our ninth and final, we returned to the lake where we had been aborted on our second day. This time there were no problems. We stopped at the cabin, where Marlyn and Maxwell were wardrobed and made up and shot two exterior scenes; we then proceeded to the lake, where by midafternoon we completed our film.
There was a reason for the laughter after the slate was called out with all of its 69 references. Early in our schedule assistant director Hope Garza started asking me midafternoon, "How many more setups?" At first I'm afraid I very rudely ignored answering her; but I soon started answering, "69." It wasn't too many days before if she so much as caught my eye without any intent to ask , even if it was the middle of the morning, I would say, "69." I wasn't aware that so many people on the set were aware of our interchange.
As photography came to an end, I realized the confusion on that second day about permission to shoot at the lake was really a gift. Had we stuck to our original schedule our final day would have been filming Maxwell's telephone calls at Dino Cocalis' house. Filming the beautifully scenic exterior lake truly was a more fitting end to an exciting and rewarding experience.

Hotel Rwanda
borrows so much from the Greek classical tradition in its story that the film manages to make the same kind of hard-hitting, sit up and listen comment to society that theatre makes on a regular basis. News reports provide the 'chorus' part to the film, grounding the story of ten years ago and more in the conscience of the present day populous. This is a film of one man's courage in the face of an enemy that grows in number by the second. Racial hatred, thoughtless violence, the difference one man can make in the world, the role a family plays in a person's life and why families are all that matter when the world caves in around you, are all themes explored throughout this captivating, spellbinding film which leaves a lump in the throat. Don Cheadle and Sophie Okonedo are believable in their performances from the start and at no stage in the two-hour film does it even cross your mind that these are merely actors reading lines and following direction.
This film provides the perfect history lesson for schools as well as a moral lesson for society. It asks you to pay attention and taps you on the head with the loving tenderness of families and neighbourhoods supporting one another in the face of violence, before walloping you around the head with the blood, the dead bodies, the stench, the injustice, the aggression. You know it happened. What did you do when it happened for real? As the journalist says in the film: "I think people will look at this on the news, say how horrible it is and go on eating their dinner." Suspense is utilised to brilliant, brutal effect in this film and some moments have more horror within them than a Stephen King epic. Cheadle's hotel manager character assures everyone that everything is going to be all right, he calms the nerves and quiets the panic and then.... the lights go out and the sound of trucks bringing soldiers can be heard in the distance.
In this film, we see the media being used as a force to incite hatred amongst a people. The radio announcer calls for bloodshed just as Cheadle's character calls for calm, tolerance and compassion and throughout there is a war between a hotel manager thrust into a situation he would normally have run a mile from and a disembodied voice with a violent temper. The film is a rich illustration of history, current affairs, international failures, the power the past has over the present and the future and how easily a group of people can be divided from their homes, their families, their jobs and their loved ones.
The film is laced with an uneasy humidity within dialogue and something is always building, be it tension, aggression, an uneasy peace within the killing or an impending assault on a sanctuary of tolerance. The outside media and indeed the outside world are adrift from the main happenings in this film and the audience are pushed into a similar position if they are not prepared to pay attention to what they are shown, if they are not prepared to remember the images and do something with their lives to try and make sure nothing like what they see on screen can happen again. As the film closes, we hear the international world's excuses for inaction. We ignored their pain, their suffering and their deaths. The least we can do is watch this movie and remember.

My Cat is Matted and Gaining Weight!
By Reginald | January 3, 2012
My cat is 10 years old. This is the 2nd or 3rd year of cat matting, which is a couple of years since my daughter left the home. I believe there has been less environmental stress but I do work long hours, and I would guess that lack of mental stimulation/companionship during the day is the worst she has to deal with. The cat has – also due to lack of activity – gained weight.
Dr. Nichol:
Unless your kitty has chosen dread locks as a fashion statement it is likely that her hair is matted because she has stopped grooming. This occurs in cats who are behaviorally stressed and in those who are sick.
Feline obesity has become, well, a huge problem. Fatty liver disease and diabetes are expanding in lock step with the growing corpulence of indoor cats. Some are so fat they can't turn around to clean themselves. Add your kitty's enforced boredom to the stew and you have a rather unkempt couch potato. It isn't pretty.
There may be more. Mouth pain from chronic dental or gum disease can make it uncomfortable for a cat to groom. At age 10 your kitty may be at risk of kidney failure, which often results in painful oral ulcers. Before making any assumptions about why your girl missed the homecoming dance I urge you to ask your veterinarian to search hard for a physical diagnosis.

Want to clamp a lid on freebies from lobbyists to state legislators?
You'll get to weigh in on that and other issues in Tuesday's primary if you take a Democratic or Republican ballot.
Democratic voters will get to support or oppose four proposals; Republican voters get to opine on five.
In contrast to regional votes on a penny sales tax for transportation, all of the questions are non-binding. They were placed on the ballot by the respective state party organizations
Most of them, said University of Georgia political science professor Charles Bullock, were promoted by special interest or advocacy groups.
"They hope strong support from the voters will exert leverage on the legislature," Bullock said. "But whether it goes anywhere depends on the legislative leadership."
Both the Democratic and Republican ballots will include measures concerning gifts from lobbyists to state legislators. The wording of the questions varies.
Democrats will be asked whether "unlimited gifts" should no longer be allowed. Republicans will be asked whether a $100 limit should be imposed.
A proposed $100 limit stalled in this year's session of the legislature.
"It's still a big issue," Bullock said.
Other questions deal with taxes, voting, charter schools, gambling, gun permits and abortion.
Bullock said the practice of putting advisory measures on the ballot began about 20 years ago.
"The Republicans were a small minority in state government, and they saw them as a way of attracting people to vote in their primaries," he said.
The GOP no longer needs that sort of drawing card; it's dominated statewide elections for most of the last decade.
But Chatham County Republican Chairman Carl Smith says the questions still serve a useful purpose.
"Any time elected officials get a chance to find out what the people in their party are thinking," Smith said, "that's a good thing."
While many GOP officials are pushing the penny sales tax for transportation, he said, many grassroots activists are opposed.
"That shows there's a disconnect between the two groups," he said, "so it's important that elected officials learn how these people feel."
Smith said the votes may influence GOP lawmakers, especially if questions pass or fail by "something like 65 or 70 percent."
But Chatham County Democratic Chairman Tony Center takes a more jaundiced view of the questions.
"They give each party's leaders some idea of what people are thinking," Center said. "But they're mostly worded to get the answers that the people who wrote them wanted.
"They promote the agendas of the people who put them on the ballot."
He said the votes on proposed lobbying gift limits won't matter
"Everyone is going to say yes," he said. "But the elected officials aren't going to do anything."
Democratic ballot questions
1. Should the Georgia Constitution be amended to allow the state to override locally elected school boards' decisions when it comes to the creation of charter schools in your county or city?
2. Do you support ending current practice permitting unlimited gifts from lobbyists to state legislators?
3. Should Georgia adopt an income tax credit for home energy costs to support the economic security of our families?
4. Should Georgia reduce sales taxes on Made in Georgia products so as to support the growth of small businesses in our state?
Republican ballot questions
1. Should Georgia have casino gambling with funds going to education?
2. Do you support ending the current practice of unlimited gifts from lobbyists to state legislators by imposing a $100 cap on such gifts?
3. Should active duty military personnel who are under the age of 21 be allowed to obtain a Georgia weapons license?
4. Should Citizens who wish to vote in a primary election be required to register by their political party affiliation at least thirty (30) days prior to such primary election?
5. Should the Constitution of Georgia be amended so as to provide that the paramount right to life is vested in each innocent human being from his or her earliest biological beginning without regard to age, race, sex, health function or condition of dependency?

Guwahati, May 28: Unknown to most people even in the Assam government, four leaders of the banned National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB) met chief minister Tarun Gogoi in Dispur a week ago, marking the first step towards what could be the decisive dialogue for peace in the Bodo heartland.
A report in the May 23 edition of The Telegraph had said some NDFB leaders were on a hush-hush visit to Guwahati to prepare the ground for peace talks with the Centre.
The four NDFB leaders met Gogoi on May 22 after being assured of safe passage and escorted to the capital complex under utmost secrecy. The outfits finance and home secretary, Nileswar Basumatary alias B. Jabda, led the delegation. Its judicial secretary, B. Jwkhrub, is one of the other three members of the team.
Sources said the chief minister was non-committal on the outfits demand for a separate state, but both sides agreed to hold another round of informal talks either in Shillong or Dimapur, the commercial hub of Nagaland, in two months time.
The NDFB is fighting for a sovereign Boroland and has rejected the creation of a Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) envisaged in the tripartite Bodo accord as a solution to the Bodo problem. The accord was signed between the rival Bodo Liberation Tigers (BLT) and the Centre and the state government on February 10.
Under the arrangement, the BLT gave up its demand for statehood and agreed to the creation of a new administrative council in accordance with an amended Sixth Schedule of the Constitution. It is believed that the NDFB felt alienated from the Bodo people after the accord was signed.
NDFB chairman Ranjan Daimary had constituted a three-member committee comprising general secretary Gobinda Basumatary, vice-chairman Dhiren Boro and publicity secretary B. Erakdao in April last year to initiate talks with the Centre. The proposal had come from the militant groups national council.
However, both the general secretary and the vice-chairman were arrested before the committee could get down to the assigned task. Sikkim police took Boro into custody in Gangtok on January 1, while Assam police apprehended Basumatary in Rangiya on November 26 last year.
Dispur has since been communicating with the NDFB think-tank through the arrested duo and the May 22 meeting is believed to be the outcome of these efforts.
Before that, the Union home ministry had sent feelers to the outfit about the Centres willingness to hold an informal dialogue even abroad. The message was conveyed to the outfits speaker, Sunil Brahma, during a meeting in Dimapur on September 11, 2002.
Brahma, who was arrested in Calcutta recently along with another militant leader, received the message and some addresses from Intelligence Bureau officials.
A source in the NDFB said his organisations national council was convinced that Mizoram chief minister Zoramthanga was the best man to be its interlocutor in peace talks. He said the NDFB wanted the proposed dialogue to be on the lines of the one between the Centre and the NSCN (I-M).
Official sources claimed that pressure was mounting on the militant outfits leadership to begin peace talks with the government as soon as possible because funds were scarce and members holed up in Bhutan were physically and mentally affected by an outbreak of malaria.
Members of the 1st and 2nd battalion camps at the NDFB headquarters in Bhutan are making do without medicines. Food is in short supply, too. Because of the financial crunch, NDFB militants have not received their family allowance for months. On particular days, the militants go without even a single meal. The recent arrest of top leaders has demoralised the militants, a source said.

"Would I become an old lady, begging for dollars while singing some two-bit blues in a tired voice I could no longer control? I hated that thought, but I had it. I couldn't lose it. I was getting scared."
We know Bettye LaVette as the dramatic soul singer who arrives triumphantly at Toronto's Winter Garden Theatre next week. But for many years she was a semi-star long forgotten. The Detroit artist released her first single in 1962 – the hyphenated R&B hit My Man - He's a Lovin' Man – but was floundering by the 1970s. The above passage, from her new memoir, speaks to her mindset at the time.
Her worst fears were not realized, and although her comeback was solidified with 2005's I've Got My Own Hell To Raise, she had already begun her road back with with 2003's A Woman Like Me, which is the same title as her autobiography.
What kind of woman is she? A proud, tough-as-nails one who prevailed, against high odds, in an industry controlled (and exploited) by men.
What kind of author is she? A refreshingly candid one who tells of a long-ago night with her friend, the legendary singer Bobby (Blue) Bland."We were in bed after a long night of blowing coke," she recounts. "We blew so much that both of us forgot about sex."
She's also one who describes Diana Ross as a "stuck-up [diva] with a small voice and big ambition." Ms. LaVette relays a scene of Ms. Ross's comeuppance with delight. It is on page 82, and it ends with Ms. Ross in her undergarments, beaten down by the jealous wife of Motown songwriter Brian Holland.
Ms. LaVette's latest album is Thankful N' Thoughtful, a covers collections which celebrates her 50 years in show business and answers the question as to her place at age 66. It includes a version of Patty Griffin's Time Will Do The Talking; clearly that is the case.
Bettye LaVette, Nov. 1, 8 p.m. $36 to $56. Winter Garden Theatre, 189 Yonge St., Toronto. Ticketmaster.ca or 1-855-985-5000.


text: You guys are always my go to place when we start having problems. Some of you may remember me and my difficult child Juan Carlos. Since starting seroquel last year, Carlos has been awesome. He has had zero violent outbursts and is learning how to deal with his emotions. I am still homeschooling him. Seroquel has made him gain about 20 pounds - 13 of which were in the last 3 months when he only gained a quarter inch in height. We are trying som things to stop the weight gain, and dropping his dose a bit, which I am afraid of doing. The doctor wants me to research Geodon in case we need to switch him next time. Have any of you used this? How does it compare in side effects? Cost? I would appreciate input from anyone who has dealt with weight gain on seroquel, or who may have input on Geodon. Thanks!

Salsa is a great style of music for any piano player. It is considered Latin music
and an understanding of its history is necessary in order to fully appreciate salsa music. If you are
unfamiliar with Latin music, begin by surrounding yourself with popular Latin music. Salsa itself encompasses
many genres of piano music including blues, funk and rhythm.
Various instruments can be used when playing salsa, but mostly percussions. A guitar or piano will usually
accompany these percussions giving it a rich sense of Latin culture. There are many ways to learn to play Salsa and
this article will break down the essential elements of salsa music.
Salsa is often used to dance. While there are no lyrics, the heavy emphasis of rhythm and beat make it a perfect
accompaniment for any dancer. In order to successfully play salsa on your piano, you must understand its general
structure. Salsa is played at a beat of 4/4 on the piano and includes the A clave.
The A clave is constructed using 8 synchronized beats, positioned at either 2-3 or 3-2 clave. Repeat the pattern
over and over again, creating a pattern of beats from beginning to end. Claves are often the foundation in many
piano pieces and generate the backbone for salsa by creating a motif of rhythm. Once you have mastered this key
component it is time to include your left hand.

Begin by learning and practicing the walking bass lines. You create this
affect by measuring the even notes played over and over again, creating an
arpeggio. An arpeggio is when you play each note of a chord separately, rather than all together.
This creates an overall affect which is necessary for the construction of salsa music. It is now time to combine
both hands together in order to create a fluid piece of music. Your right hand will be in charge of the melody.
Play the progression while inserting licks into the holes. By combining both hands, your left hand will be
playing the arpeggio and your right hand will play the melody, creating salsa music. These two elements combined
together give salsa music that unique style and flavour.
Hopefully, you are now on your way to playing salsa music for all your friends. Salsa is a wonderful piece of
music to share with friends and family as it is primarily a dancing style of music. Do not be frightened to share
your music. You might make a few mistakes on the first time around, but practice will improve your chances of
Take your time when you first start, paying close attention to each note and chord. Once you have the correct
key selection, you can increase your speed. Listen to Latin music, especially Salsa; it will train your ears to
hear important chords and progressions necessary to create unique sounds.
Listening and watching others play will be very be very helpful when trying it out for yourself. It will give
you a good understanding of proper hand positioning and movements. All
young pianists should learn how to play salsa on piano, it is a rewarding experience.

Underwriters recognize that, just like them, a lot of people experimented to some extent with drugs
during college or in their early 20's. As long as you are well removed from that period of your life it
shouldn't affect underwriting. Current or recent drug use is another subject altogether. Current, other
than pot, isn't going to fly. Recent is going to have to have some years, at least three to five.
If you sought treatment, depending on the drug and how deep you were down the hole, count on three
to five years post treatment. Any relapses and you really need to start over.
Risk Life has successfully worked with numerous cases of past drug use and treatment and the
difference between that and failures or the other declines seems to be how candid and honest you are
willing to be. If an underwriter is presented a trial that is undercut by facts in medical records they don't
want your business.

"Fiji" Bluesky concert in Samoa
Last week Friday night in front of the Government building in Apia, Samoa was where families, friends and fans gathered to celebrate the Bluesky 4G Plus launch, which hosted a free concert with the legendary George "FIJI" Veikoso.
"We are so happy we got to host this concert because the 4G plus goes beyond from anywhere you are on the island. So the people of Samoa deserve a free concert from our best Polynesian artists in celebration of this new network," said an official of Bluesky Samoa.
George Veikoso, known as "FIJI" — is a classic reggae, hip hop, R&B and jazz Fijian vocalist, songwriter and music producer. He sang some of his all time great songs from his album Born & Raised such as Chant of the Island, Sosefina, and a Samoan song that brought the crowd to cheers, called "Le Taualaga o Solomona".
Performing with Fiji were other Polynesian artists, Drew Deezy, Laga Savea, Kiwini, Lapi Mariner, Ben Vai and the Brownhill band.
Samoa News caught up with Fiji after the concert, who said, "This would not have been possible without my "usos" here. We are all from different islands but we work together as a family to perform and represent our people."
Locals from American Samoa who flew to Apia just to watch the Fiji Concert were very happy to have been there. "When I found out Fiji was going to perform in Apia, I just paid my ticket and now here for the weekend only. He and the other artists sure brought the house down. It was worth the trip," said Tanielu of Ili'ili.
On Saturday, March 25 Bluesky American Samoa will also be hosting a free concert in the Territory — bringing well-known artist Spawnbreezie to perform live and also showcasing a laser lights show at the Fagatogo Malae.
Spawnbreezie said in a Samoa News interview, "I am extremely excited and feel blessed to have the opportunity to share my music with our people. Cheehoooo!"
Many fans of Spawnbreezie are looking forward to the concert and have sent non-stop texts to Bluesky to win VIP Meet and Greet with Spawnbreezie opportunities.

Appeals court delivers another blow to city's large-soda ban
By Ivan Pereira
The soda companies won round two in their fight to stop the Mayor Michael Bloomberg's ban on big soda, but like any prizefighter, hizzoner isn't throwing in the towel.
On Tuesday, the state Supreme Court's appellate division unanimously upheld the March ruling of state Supreme Court Justice Milton A. Tingling that struck down the city's proposed ban on large sugary drinks.
The four-judge panel agreed with Tingling that the city overstepped its boundaries with the proposed law, which was set to take effect March 12.
"Such mechanism necessarily looks beyond health concerns, in that it manipulates choices to try to change consumer norms," the judges wrote.
Bloomberg, who pushed to prohibit sugary drinks greater than 16 ounces from restaurants and other establishments, vowed Tuesday to take the case to a higher court.
"It doesn't make you feel full and it doesn't give you the nutritional values, but it does give you calories," he said. "There is no question about this."
The American Beverage Association, who along with NAACP and other groups filed a lawsuit challenging the law, agreed with the mayor's stance on obesity but said he unnecessarily singled out their products as a leading cause for the epidemic.
"We look forward to collaborating with city leaders on solutions that will have a meaningful and lasting impact on the people of New York City," the group said in a statement.
The proposal, which was approved by the city's Health Department in September, affected establishments that received a letter grade for health inspections and would fine them $200. Supermarkets were not affected because they are state regulated.
New Yorkers were mixed about the court's decision. Jessica Charles, 23, of Manhattan, agreed with the plaintiffs that the mayor was overstepping his boundaries.
"There are plenty of things that are well within his boundaries that need to be taken care of before soda," she said.
Will Blackman, 28, a manager at TGI Fridays in Midtown, however, said he didn't mind the proposal because it wouldn't affect his business too much.
"We just had to get all new cups, but we end up giving out pretty much the same amount of product simply because the refills are free," he said,
The New York Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, would be the next legal body to hear the case if the city files for an appeal.
Rick Hills, a NYU law professor who has been closely following the case, said the mayor's appeal would be difficult because of the back to back decisions against the city.
"When Tingling ruled, I thought he was stretching his judicial powers but now that the appellate decision ruled in his favor I think there is something in the air that has courts against this ban," he said.
Hills noted that the big legal issue isn't the specifics of the ban, rather the fact that the mayor didn't run it by the City Council first.
"Courts are feeling this an unusual and paternalistic rule," he said.
(with Morgan Ribera)

The drive from Denton to College Station is long—almost four hours if you stop once for a break and don't speed. The last time I made that drive before this weekend, I got home with my entire second novel pretty much conceptualized and plotted out. There's something about the intimacy of a car ride, especially if you're driving at night, that promotes conversation and serious thought. If you add a patient and nearly-silent husband who works wonderfully as a sound-board to that mix, for me it leads to planning what I'm going to write.
On our way back home last night, hub-a-dub was snoozing for the first half of the trip, but I still wanted to harness that forced think-time to work out kinks in my current project.
I should know by now that I can't force magic.
I can beckon it, sure, but it's a neat trick if I'm able to guide it. I've been slowly piecing together the ideas for The Seaman's Daughter for years now, and it's never come when I wanted it to or even when I expected it to. It's a novel born of pure inspiration and seems to be resisting any sort of planning. So instead of being able to smooth out the wrinkles in Book Now, I began mentally writing a really awesome scene in Book Next, which doesn't even have a title yet. (This is the horror novel I mentioned in my post about Lake City.)
It's not that I'm complaining, exactly, because I know there are writers out there just praying for new ideas. I know I'm lucky to always be brimming with things I want to write. It's just that they never come when they're supposed to. Going back and forth between different projects might seem like a fine way of doing things (and it does make sense—work on what you feel like working on), but it really isn't logical from a career standpoint.
Getting a book discovered and published takes a long time. If I write Book Now, I can have it in the works as I write Book Next. If I write two Books Whenever, I have to finish them both and then get them started on that long journey. Essentially, writing two books at once could end up delaying my entry to the industry by twice as long. That's no good. The sooner I can begin calling myself an author instead of a writer, the sooner I can do what I love with no excuses, distractions, or defeats. I'm ready to get going, you know?
But still, if a scene hits me that strongly, I must write it. As much as it pains me to think about, it's possible that The Seaman's Daughter might not be willing to be written in a single chunk like my other books. I'm just gonna do my best and trust my gut. I'm off to type the scene I've already written in my head.Share this:

eBOOK SUMMARY
"I am thrilled to introduce you to a remarkable woman – Renata Castellé. Renata doesn't fit the usual profile of a successful business-woman. Too humble and too down to earth – now, she lives in the Castle she dreamed to build for herself.
Taking on the challenges of life, she managed to stay true to herself as an individual, regardless of years of oppression by those who she truly loved.
Unjustifiably and carelessly, robbed by her own family from completing formal education, she followed her inner self and willingness to embrace change.
In the perfect ending, with enthusiasm and sheer determination, as a single business operator, Renata became successful in her own right."
"Here you will find the answers to the questions: "What is the value of life?", "What should we aim for?", "Can we achieve our dreams?" and "How do we find true happiness?".
BUT WHAT ARE THE READERS SAYING ABOUT eBOOK – THE QUEEN OF THE CASTLE?
"Truly an inspiring story… I did find the frankness, clarity and honesty in Renee's openness of how she succeeded very encouraging…"- Daniela Tyson, IP Officer at SA Pathology.
"…Lucid, entertaining it succeeds brilliantly in the mission to explain how to succeed in making money…" -DAVID MCGLYNN BRANCH MANAGER; Greater Building Society.
"…shows what a person can really achieve in themselves and pursue their dreams. A truly inspirational story!" – JO BOLAND
"…It is very humorous. It is an inspirational story about life, about overcoming the adversities of life and how to become successful in life; I really enjoyed it."- KAREN TUCKER
"Wow! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this amazing book. I am very impressed in the style the book is written. It is such an inspirational story; I could not put it down.
Renata Castelle's story was shared with me at the right time of my life and I cannot thank you enough for sharing these experiences. Everyone has moments in their lives which can make them unhappy. We all dig into our past for answers which will hopefully allow us to live happy. Rene's life is full of incredible experiences. I am amazed how optimistic she remains; for me this is a life changing experience. She overcomes her past in a positive way; continuously moving forward. This is a recipe for happiness in life which we can all strive for. Renata, you do not realize how many lives are going to be changed by reading this book. I have to say that your biggest 'profit' will be improving people's well-being."- MARGARET FEDORCZYK
"The Queen of The Castle" is a straightforward real life inspirational story. Renata's life story as a victim of family oppression is quite tragic.
However, her life journey is simply phenomenal!
The uneducated mother of two breaks away, embraces the necessity of providing for her children and dismisses the existence of failure to become a wise Queen of business. She creates one opportunity after another in order to achieve her childhood dream of living in a Castle with ocean and mountain views.
"The Queen of The Castle" will give you the chance to pick yourself up, to sort out your life for the better and inspire you to achieve your dreams.
Learn to refuse to be a victim! Learn to believe in your dreams!" – ELENA ORNIG

Question about 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
All the other vents work fine. Just the Front vents don't blow air. Worked fine, before I changed battery.
Posted by aje1219 on
The airflow is not switching when I hit the mode button. It's alway blowing down on my feet. Even when I have the mode switch to blow toward my head, it blows toward my feet. Hoses are connected.
How do I fix the directional Air Flow system. All the hoses are connected. Is it a mode Actuator I need to replace or is there a reset button I can hit.
No matter what mode I put the A/C on it runs through the Floor vents. Not swithching with mode button.
Is the Mode actuator behind the glove box?
Thank you for your assistance.
Usually it's because of a vacuum leak from a defective hose or a vacuum hose that is disconnected. Sometimes, if it has a vacuum canister, the canister is bad or the vaccum hose has fallen off or somebody forgot to reconnect the hose. Usually it is a very small hose that you will need to find, like 1/8 inch. This is caused by the vacuum from the engine intake manifold not getting into the cab. Check that vacuum line for soft spots, kinks or being disconnected. The vacuum is used to activate vacuum motors which open and close doors in the air ducts. The doors control the flow of the air to the correct vents. For instance, warm air is sent to the vents below the windshield to provide a defrost function. Cold air is often sent to the vents on the front of the dash for air conditioning. After a period of time, the diaphragms in the vaccum motors will begin to leak causing the vacuum motor not to work. But, first check for loose or leaking hoses and fittings or a defective vaccum switch
Posted on Oct 10, 2008
First, check all your fuses, the dash may have it's own blower on a seperate fuse from the heating system..then, check down by the floor board , see if you notice any ducting disconnected from another piece of ducting. (this will cause you to lose air on a non-external blower system)
If that is ok, open the hood, look in the battery area for any wires NOT connected as one might have been bumped, dislodged or left unconnected when the battery was replaced.

This wedding day was quite the adventure! A warm sunny afternoon gave this Atlanta couple a chance to hike their way through a terrific pre-ceremony photography session. Then, a quick-moving storm rolled in over the pinnacle at Craggy Gardens off the Blue Ridge Parkway, which, by the way, resulted in some stunning shots that you'll see below. No sweat…this couple didn't give the rain a second thought! Getting married, after all, is more important than staying dry. After all, there was a big, grand party to attend at the bottom of the mountain. We loved using all the spaces at Highland Brewing Company, and guests experienced the full tour as they moved from the cocktail hour to dinner to dancing. Urban Farm Girl dressed it up with indigenous wildflowers. Black-Eyed Susan brought out the southern fare spread. And, save room for dessert. 50/Fifty The Art of Dessert baked a cake in every flavor imaginable. And, yes, they taste as good as they look – maybe better!

I believe that a smile makes life longer. I value every minute of my life and enjoy it but sometimes I feel single women because I don't have my second half to share my life with. I'm serious in my search. Sometimes we have just one chance and I don't want to lose it. I believe in fate and I'm sure that it will bring great events in the future of mine and my beloved. Only real meeting can give us full image of each other and I don't want to waste time on endless letters. I am not a teenager anymore, I value time and know that it's very fast moving. I still believe in real love and I am sure that somewhere there is a person who was created just for me!

Guess you think I am looking for someone perfect? It is not true... I need just the one who knows what understanding and support means and remembers that we should take care of each other... not that much... and what are you looking for? Have you been dreaming to find your Ukrainian beloved? Just be a man. I don't ask too much; you should be real, serious and manly. I am looking for a serious and responsible man who wants to love and to be loved. I'm looking for a kind, romantic, lovely man who is down-to-earth, responsible and understanding. He is caring and honest and tender. Maybe we are an ideal couple. Just we do not know this yet. Ready to see? If you are here just for games, please don't waste your time on me. Let's respect each other.

text: First, thanks to Stephen Horne for bringing up this subject. I learn more about language design in this newsgroup than anywhere else (perhaps people who appreciate good language design gravitate to Python?). I started by looking for use cases... where would this proposed pass-by-reference actually prove useful? Stephen basically found one good use case: I wish to "transfer ownership" of an object that gets passed into a method call, and protect against the caller accidently continuing to use the object. [So, we'll use a "ref" parameter and set the caller's variable to None.] But "pass by reference" isn't the first idea I have on reading the use case. I agree with Peter Otten, who writes: > if copying is costly and only > sometimes necessary, wrap the item into a copy-on-write proxy for every > logically distinct but physically identical instance. Excellent idea! But, how do I write a copy-on-write proxy in Python? Seems like this would make an excellent cookbook recipie, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. Proxying is easy, but how does one distinguish between mutating and non-mutating methods? Does the proxy need to be customized for each class to be wrapped? Also I wanted to mention what _I_ saw as the major reason why including reference parameters in Python would be a bad idea. Stephen himself pointed out that without compelling use cases, YAGNI should rule. But the counter argument of "it will allow unexpected changes whenever I invoke a method" is completely bogus -- from the beginning Stephen pointed out that special syntax should be required BY THE CALLER. And the counter argument of "it will slow things down" is dubious at best (cPython method calls are already so slow that it's unclear how much difference this would make). But my counter argument would be that this breaks one of the elegent simplicities of Python -- that callables of all kinds are equivalent and have a very simple interface. A callable receives (in effect) one tuple of values, and one map of values. That's it. That's a very simple protocol. Functions and methods are written with a bunch of ordered, named parameters, (some of which may have defaults), that are filled in from this tuple and map, and perhaps an overflow tuple and map for additional inputs. There's no place in this simple protocol for type declarations (of course), and there would be no place for tracking whether an argument was "ref" or not. To add even that one boolean property would significantly complicate callables. I think that having a small number of protocols that are very simple yet very powerful is a wonderful way to design a language. Python's callables are very simple, yet powerful. Iterators are another such example. Making classes consist primarily of a namespace (__dict__) was another, although that has gotten much more complicated as things like descriptors are introduced. Anyway, just wanted to share some thoughts you had triggered. Thanks for the ideas. I'd-cc-Stephen-Horne-directly-but-it'd-be-rejected-as-a-Nigerian-scam lly, -- Michael Chermside
