Source Article:
Are taxpayers funding child torture?
"I survived MKULTRA, remote viewing, Satanic Ritual Abuse and other experiments by our government masked in our Christian churches/private Christian schools here in Seattle, Washington, amongst many others who were with me" is just one of many comments on a petition asking for a Congressional investigation of the CIA mind-control of children, http://www.change.org/petitions/us-congress-survivors-request-investigat...
This survivor who endured abuse in the basement of a Seattle church claims the "religious order" was sponsored by the CIA and a Roman Catholic priest, plus there are an estimated 42 branches of this same church across the US and globe.
Is our taxpayer dollar funding the torture of children? What are the connections between the CIA MKULTRA mind-control program and Satanic Ritual Abuse?
In 1945 Nazi mind-control experts of World War II concentration camps were brought into the US under the CIA Project Paperclip. One was a 17 year-old turncoat with a background in Cabalistic mysticism who is known to many mind-control survivors as Dr. Green, or Greenbaum.
PhD Corydon Hammond's 1992 "Greenbaum Speech" discussed survivors who were programmed by the Green Method, "(Greenbaum) probably appealed to the Cult because Aleister Crowley had been introducing Cabalism into Satanic stuff. . . but he saved his skin by collaborating and being an assistant to them in the death-camp experiments. They brought him with them. They started doing mind-control research for Military Intelligence in military hospitals in the United States. The people that came, the Nazi doctors, were Satanists."
Respondents to the 2007 Extreme Abuse Surveys confirm Hammond's accusations. There were 124 who responded "yes" when asked if one of their perpetrators went by the name "Dr. Green" and 257 who responded "yes" when asked if government sponsored secret mind-control experiments were performed on them as a child. http://extreme-abuse-survey.net/
"The protagonist of Twenty-Two Faces: Inside the Extraordinary Life of Jenny Hill and Her Twenty-Two Multiple Personalities, remembers being in a human sacrifice ritual with a brainwashing consultant named Dr. Green," stated Colin A. Ross, MD in the biography's foreword. "According to many patients with similar memories, Green is a German mind-control specialist who came to the US after Word War II. In the 1990s therapists were accused of 'implanting' false memories of ritual abuse, including recollections of Dr. Green and his Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma and Omega mind-control programming." (Twenty-Two Faces, Byington, Tate Publishing: Oklahoma, 2012) www.22faces.com
Hill testified that on 21 June 1965 in a satanic rite organized by Dr. Green, she was forced to watch the murder of a child (believed to be missing six year-old Kathleen Shea from Tyrone, PA): http://www.youtube.com/wat?v=F626Lsrdwg4
In a 1995 Congressional Hearing on government-sponsored human experimentation, Christine Nicola testified that from ages 4-14 and along with other children, Dr. Green subjected her to sexual abuse, radiation, drugs, electrodes, electric shock, dislocated joints and other mind-control experiments. He kept her tied in a cage next to his office at Kansas City University. Nicola stated she was being trained to be an assassin through subjection to trauma so severe that it split her mind into parts, or created multiple personalities. 1995 Congressional Hearing MKULTRA Victim Testimony B Christine Nicola: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXDASDDrDkM http://goo.gl/tGuKg8
Another witness at the 1995 hearings was therapist Valerie Wolf who stated, "Dr. Greene is probably the most consistent figure or doctor that's been reported by almost everybody (mind-control survivors). He went under the names of Dr. Green, Dr. Greenbaum, Greentree, Greenberg, but always with the Green in his name. He travelled throughout the country training people, doing consultation and also doing stuff on his own, I think, as Chris experienced."
The abuse survivor organizations of Neil Brick's Stop Mind-control and Ritual Abuse Today (SMART http://ritualabuse.us) and Judy Byington's Child Abuse Recovery (CAR www.ChildAbuseRecovery.com) formed a coalition with Kevin Annett's International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State to expose this unspeakable abuse of children. Annet says, "The ITCCS is establishing local common law courts of justice that can name and try the offenders, and protect the innocent." www.itccs.org, www.hiddennolonger.com, http://kevinannettinternational.blogspot.fr/
A January 1014 Common Law court organized by ITCCS will address Holland Therapist Toos Nijenhuis who claims having witnessed ritual murders and burials of children as late as November 2010: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-A1o1Egi20c.
Survivors are breaking their silence in the hope of protecting children presently abused in government mind-control programs and invite you to sign their petition asking for a Congressional investigation: http://www.change.org/petitions/us-congress-survivors-request-investigat...

Three arrested after girl is killed in attack on tourists
Cairo An Egyptian woman walks past an almost-deserted souvenir shop in Cairo's Khan al-Khalili market, right, where a 17-year-old French schoolgirl died in a bomb attack at the weekend – and where police arrested three men in connection with the attack.
The attack appeared to have targeted Egypt's tourist industry, which is the backbone of the country's economy. Two crude bombs were placed under stone benches near a 650-year-old mosque in an area popular with sightseers. The attackers were thought to be a group angry at Egypt's decision to keep its borders with the Palestinian enclave closed during the recent fighting in Gaza.

The Warsaw ghetto
TIME OUT Magazine
The University Cinema Club met in the Cambridge Arts Cinema to watch independent films. In 1960 an evening of 'political' documentary films included the film shot inside the Warsaw Ghetto. An official state film, well photographed, well edited, aimed at conveying a simple enough message; this is what happened when we built an impenetrable concrete wall around the Jewish quarter of the city and starved a thousand or more inhabitants to death: we show their degradation, and their dying. This is what it looked like. In the film, not a single shot of a Nazi soldier! 'Necessarily' absent, the invisible authors of this atrocity, safely hidden behind the camera. Afterwards, I collapsed emotionally, had difficulty staving off a breakdown. There was one particular image a cameraman had dwelt on as if he found it especially powerful, significant, plangent with the true 'meaning' of the film; a skinny young girl in rags, alone, filthy dirty, digging with a stick in the mud, looking for food. The sound-track a dispassionate description of her odd behaviour.
The images woke me with violent nightmares (reminding me of those of Thomas de Quincey). They would sear into my daylight mind as I worked in the Cavendish laboratory, a student crystallographer assisting Crick and Watson unravelling the structure of DNA using X rays and crystals. A few years later I would give up a science career, went to the Slade School of Art to study film.
Soon after seeing the Nazi film I'd seen 'Rashomon' and the two films seemed to merge in my mind, a painfully bitter cold fusion. I'd discovered I couldn't entice a single reading of the ghetto film which would offer me detachment from its inhuman truths; the planned state-sanctioned murder, the hatred; rape. But it was not only this predictable reading I was troubled with, something else was haunting me, my inability to 'enter into' the state of mind of the cameraman; I thought of him continuously! In watching the film I must be inside his head, behind his eyes. I wasn't able to feel the necessary death-in-life detachment without which he could not stand there, camera on tripod, focussing the lens, changing to close up. Oops, film finished, pop in a new one. Or later, more hidden gods, lab technicians deciding, for me, what was 'best' to convey their message. For me it was not film, not celluloid passing through a projector, I had no 'persona' with which to protect myself. I had been there! It was a young girl, the girl next door at the point of starvation digging in stinking mud for food. I'd discovered a 'flaw' in myself; by modern standards! For some quirk in my own fatherless upbringing, my personal myth, I would never see film with the detachment 'necessary' to make 'objective' documentary or 'convincing' fiction films. 'No darling, bend over more, push your bottom out, push the stick in the mud with a slower rhythm. Perfect. Print! Y'looked lovely sweetheart!' Was it possible that all film was rape? Of the 'subjects' and audience? For me it was; irreparably wounded by the Ghetto film.
Arriving at the Slade School of Art on a painting scholarship I discovered a nascent film department, a Bolex camera idle on a shelf. Within a month I'd made a documentary film of the sculpture students; sticky fingers, mud, plaster, moulds of dismembered bodies. Within six months I was a newsreel cameraman for Italian TV; filmed Aldo Moro in London with our Prime Minister. Moro soon to be assassinated by university students. Within seven years I'd made a film in America about a documentary film-maker (myself) who decides to film an act of assassination at a peace rally as the ultimate act of protest. I was inside the university during the student rebellion, filmed the police violence, wounded students, ambulances. I gave a guy $75 for a gun, I knew whom I must kill; a soldier in uniform. The Kent massacre was months away. I filmed Robert Kennedy, some film was wiped by the CIA at a US lab, I decided to leave before I became my fiction; an assassin. Arrived at Heathrow with forty hours of film of the counter-culture collapse into anarchy. Newspaper Headline: 'Robert Kennedy Shot Dead'.
Through five years of making documentary films about such '60s' socio-political events I tried to write fiction; scripts, novels. I was losing myself, where was I in all this chaos? I loved Godard, Bergman, Fellini, the last thing I needed to express myself was documentary films! But I couldn't write a script for transformation into the 'lie', the contrived untruth of a fiction film. I was trapped by the paradox: I needed to film documentary to 'reach' the inner truth of the ghetto film; yet, if there was one thing I hated, it was the 'lie' of the so-called documentary film. Defeated, I gave up films and writing, escaped to Africa, the Arctic, the Arabian deserts, trapped and bred falcons for twenty years. Undeniable truth in that!
But bad dreams recur, ghosts that cling, the images of the Ghetto film had not been exorcised, even with my films about protest, Vietnam, student rebellion, Howling Beat Poets! The young girl was like Thomas de Quincey's Ann, searching for her forever, knowing she was dead, probably murdered in a mud-ridden alley behind Soho square. Starving. Was I not hoping 'she' had not died, not been murdered by the Nazis: if I could find her alive, would that wipe away the palpable fear the images provoked in me? Of man at his most bestial? Forever haunted by those few feet of film, unable not to do so, I had to find a way to tell 'her' story; if not in film - in words! Always so comfortable, 'at one remove'? So I wrote a novel: "Nora and ... " about that girl. She had survived, worked with Freud, became a successful psychoanalyst, married a handsome Aryan doctor. Was happy!
Life, so full of irony!

For a while after our daughter was born, we were convinced she was going to be an only child. Despite pressure from friends and family to have another child, we just weren't sure. After all, we thought, it won't be so bad if she has no brothers or sisters — plenty of people grow up as an only child! Though we did end up having a second child and our baby girl now has a little brother who she adores, we know that for one reason or another, plenty of families decide to stick with one child.
Here are eight moms sharing what they love about having an only child.
No Drama
"No fighting with siblings and not hearing, 'Mom, he touched me.' Also, no hand me downs!" – Teresa Olvera
Cheaper Fun!
"…admission to any kind of attraction is cheaper and they can bring a friend when you get the 'family 4 pack'." – Caitlin Madden
More for Her
"I can afford to give her more." – Jessica Bern
Easier Travel
"We can travel a whole lot more!" – Ana Flores
Imaginative Minds
"No bickering, no having to buy multiple of things to be 'fair,' eating out, travel and other entertainment is less expensive, only children are often very good at playing on their own and have great imaginations." – Melanie Sheridan
It's Amazing
"…the daily reminder that even though life doesn't always turn out the way you plan, where you end up can be pretty darned amazing. Oh, and we do less laundry! LOL." – Carrie Ferguson Weir
More Attention
"I have more attention to give to her and her special needs." – Nancy Nally
Exclusive Love
"He will never have to 'worry' that I love his sibling more than I do him, nor will he have to vie for my attention or love." – Issa Mas

Perhaps the most sustainable fishery in Cornwall is the Fal River oyster fishery (officially known as the Port of Truro Oyster fishery), the last oyster fishery in Europe harvested under sail by Europe's last commercial sailing fleet. Here on the River Fal native oysters (oystera edulis) have been harvested in more or less the same, highly sustainable, fashion, without the use of mechanical power, for more than 500 years.
Oysters are thought to have been found in Cornwall since the earliest trading with the Phoenicians, and were widely grown around the coast when the Romans occupied Britain. For hundreds of years they were seen as a food for the poor who would gather the plankton-feeding bivalves from the muddy banks of creeks and rivers at low tide. In 1298 they sold for 2d (less than 1p) a gallon and were cheap in comparison with other fish
By the time Sir Richard Carew published the Survey of Cornwall in 1602, oysters were being caught using dredges "a thick strong net fastened to three spills of iron, and drawn to the boat's stern, gathering whatsoever it meeteth lying in the bottom of the water, out of which, when it is taken up, they cull the oyster and cast away the residue, which they term gard, and serveth as a bed for the oysters to breed in."
In Carew's time oysters were abundant around the Cornish shoreline, now they are only found in the Fal, Percuil, Helford, Fowey and Camel rivers; the Fal has the last wild oyster beds, in the other rivers both native and Pacific oysters are re-laid and farmed. The native oyster is slow maturing, taking up to five years to grow to a marketable size, and is thought to have a far superior flavour to the faster growing Pacific oysters (crassostrea gigas also sometimes known as rock oysters).
By the 1860s a combination of disease, pollution and probably overfishing had almost destroyed these native oyster beds. This was the point at which they became a highly desirable, luxury food. Byelaws introduced by Truro Corporation in 1876 protected the Fal's beds from over-exploitation by limiting harvesting to non-mechanical means. This means relying on wind and tide in sail-powered working boats towing the dredges across the beds in a fashion known as a drift. Many of these are historic vessels such as Tim Vinnicombe's Boy Willie, a restored pilchard lugger driver that has been on and off the water for more than 150 years, and is used for fishing in the winter and racing in the summer. After each drift the working boats go about and start working the same narrow piece of the estuary again, adapting as the tide and wind patterns change during the day. Further up the river in the narrower and less accessible, shallow creeks, the single-handed self-propelled haul-tow punts use oars and a winch to cross the water.
The modern dredges used by these gaff cutter rigged working boats have changed little over the last 400 years; about three feet wide, these small nets with an iron bar top and bottom look like a small bag that is cast out over the stern, pulled across the river bed and hauled in over the side. They are hauled frequently as they quickly fill up with stones, mud and shells. Any oyster that is smaller than the statutory 2⅝ inches in diameter is discarded and returned to the river bed to grow on. After they have been harvested the oysters are purified before being sold, mostly out of the county, either to smart metropolitan restaurants or exported to Europe where they are highly sought after, even in France, although more than 10,000 oysters are consumed during the annual Falmouth Oyster Festival held each autumn.
The number of licences issued by the Port of Truro Harbour Authority fluctuates each year – in 2005/6 it was 38, but in 1980/81 was 151. A licence is issued for each dredge, and the sailing boats operate up to two dredges per man, with a crew of two. Haul tow punts operate a single dredge. Fishing is strictly limited to 9am to 3pm each weekday, and from 9am to 1pm on Saturdays, from October 1 to March 31. It is perhaps its inherent inefficiency and reliance on traditional methods that preserves this fishery despite growing pressures for more river moorings for leisure craft, from antifouling paints (even though banned for small craft in 1987 it is thought that some still arrives on tankers and ocean going ships that shelter in the Carrick Roads), pollution and the invasive slipper limpets.
Although the number of oystermen fluctuates annually, most have other seasonal work during the rest of the year; in a good year the fishery still provides a reasonable living for the most experienced men who are prepared to put in the time and effort in all weathers as long as the season allows. A proactive partnership between the harbour authority and the Port of Truro Oyster Fishery Management Group is working to manage and improve the nursery beds for future stocks. Nevertheless, as in the rest of the Cornish fishing industry, there are concerns about succession, the lack of young people and skills coming into the industry and that the continuity of several generations of oystermen families will be lost forever if prospects and profits do not improve.
As with sea fishing, oyster dredging is a skill that cannot be learned by rote. It is learned through years of working the water, understanding which areas suit the oysters best, and that this is a highly unpredictable species that can be surprisingly difficult to harvest. Many say that signs of healthy spatfall (young oysters) can look promising only to discover a couple of years later that adult oysters are hard to find, with no obvious explanation.
As with the rest of the Cornish fishing industry, this dilemma has social and economic implications too for the villages and support industries based around the creeks and tributaries of the River Fal. If the prospects for future oyster stocks are not good enough, this may be the last generation of oystermen working this unique, and highly sustainable, fishery on the River Fal.

Stade, one of the most successful clubs in the Top 14, have been hit by financial troubles and have been forced to offload many of their big-name players.
The 26-year-old's father and manager Jonathan insists that despite the confusing manner of his exit from Stade, there are already plenty of offers on the table.
"No decisions have been made as yet," Jonathan Haskell told the BBC. "He's had expressions of interest from clubs from all over the world - Italy, Ireland, Australia - but it was only confirmed he was leaving yesterday, until then he was still a Stade Francais player.
"We couldn't really say it came as a shock but it was not an ongoing process James was aware of. Each week they were saying 'we want you to stay' and offering him a contract, so it was all rather confusing, all done in a very Gallic fashion.
"All the players and everyone involved with the club said what a wonderfully committed player he was and that they're all very sad to see him go.
"But there was the financial impact and they've had to release a lot of players."
As well as Haskell, they have parted company with Ollie Phillips, Hugo Southwell, Arnaud Marchois, Noel Oelschig, Juan Leguizamon and Mauro Bergamasco.
However, England lock Tom Palmer will remain at Stade, who next season will be joined by Paul Sackey.

'Prayer in Action Days'
Anderson County and other high schools in the 30th District will have a new rival starting with the 2019-20 school year.
In a move originally proposed in November, the Kentucky High School Athletic Association approved the transfer of Woodford County from the 41st District and the 11th Region to the 30th District and Eighth Region. The move affects basketball, baseball, softball, soccer and volleyball.
Current members of the district are Anderson County, Collins, Shelby County and Spencer County.
When the Kentucky High School Athletic Association released its proposed four-year football classifications last Thursday, one thing jumped off the page for those around the Anderson County High School program.
"Smallest team in 5A," Anderson athletic director Rick Sallee said in a text message.

Anyone know what a 27-4 is? Thanks for any help you can give.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Anyone know what a 27-4 is? Thanks for any help you can give.
I want to say so badly 23, but I know it must be something else. Sorry :roll: Good luck.
In reference to what? How was it used / said?
Can't say that I have ever heard of it.
Perhaps you mean 24/7?
twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week
I just googled it -
The first thing that came up:
27 - 4 = 23
The next things were references to Bible verses.
Urban Dictionary has the following entry:
I don't know if any of these explanations make any sense in the context the OP came across this.
Reference to something that is done or available 24 hours a day, every day of the week. :)
Um, I'm stumped!
Someone posted a s.m. on craigs list with a serial # D108612. When I looked it up on
Singer's site it said it is a 27-4 made in 1908 in Eliz, NJ.If I ever find out I'll post it. The Singer tel # was busy constantly.
It means that what ever it is referring to it is 24 hours a day / 7 days a week. Such as a store open all the time, or a mom who is available to family 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
if you had put all that info in your first post we wouldn't have been sooo confused :oops:Originally Posted by Pins n' Ndls

Rodale's Ultimate Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening: The Indispensable Green Resource for Every Gardener
Rodale's Ultimate Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening has been the go-to resource for gardeners for more than 50 years—and the best tool novices can buy to start applying organic methods to their fruit and vegetable crops, herbs, trees and shrubs, perennials, annuals, and lawns. This thoroughly revised and updated version highlights new organic pest controls, new fertilizer products, improved gardening techniques, the latest organic soil practices, and new trends in garden design.

Rodale's Vegetable Garden Problem Solver
This encyclopedic collection of gardening advice is, in the Rodale tradition, purely organic, albeit with a no-nonsense, 21st-century attitude. Extensive attention is given to tantalizing techniques such as cover cropping and dealing with deer damage (including what to protect, repellants and scare devices, and 10 kinds of antideer fences). The vegetable entries are equally comprehensive, with sections detailing "Crop Basics," "Secrets of Success," "Preventing Problems," "Regional Notes" and "Troubleshooting Problems." Drawings of pest-infested plants are helpful, and Bradley covers the gamut of solutions, from timed planting to crop rotation, barriers to repellants, wisely advising prevention as the first tactic and using (organic) insecticides as a last resort.

The Rodale Book of Composting: Easy Methods for Every Gardener
The broad spectrum of information given will be useful from backyard urban gardening on up to industrial, municipal, and farm recycling. The first quarter of the book gives you all you ever wanted to know on the science of composting--and more--along with some history. A discussion of materials, methods, structures, equipment, and uses is followed by a brief look at large-scale composting. The writing is an uneven mix of scientific detail and the anecdotal. Chemical reactions are described in exquisite detail, and yet most quotes, while attributed, are neither dated nor their source given. Stu Campbell and Kathleen Bond Borie's Let It Rot: The Gardener's Guide to Composting ( LJ 1/91) is more readable and inviting for the individual gardener. While useful for its in-depth, detailed coverage, Rodale's almost-textbook is recommended only for comprehensive gardening collections. Read More >>

Discussion in 'FedEx Discussions' started by FUFred, Nov 11, 2013.
Home delivery taken to the extream. I saw his on the chive.
It's probably not even the correct address. See what happens when you leave it running/light that third joint/get your flip-flop stuck on the gas pedal? Too funny.
Trying to save the starter remember? And why is this not the only picture of ground vehicles I've seen like this? HOW does that even happen?
I hope that was Fred's house.
Those are the maid's quarters.
I just wish it was a better picture.
Maybe the driver was competing with this guy.
He missed the front door. The garage doesn't count. The firemen are there to extinguish the cargo fire caused by the driver throwing his lit roaches through the open bulkhead door.
more info on the OP's pic: it was a roll-away...
lesson: always use your parking brake at every stop!
Doorstep delivery: FedEx van crashes into Kingsport home | Kingsport Times-News
Wow, I guess that's what insurance is for. The contractors I mean. Why are all these trucks in the position to roll into houses? Shouldn't they walk to the door? Looks like all these were nosediving into driveways.
On most Ground vehicles, they most likely don't even work.
I'm surprised this doesn't happen more.I can't imagine all the fuel that is wasted while the truck sits there idling.I've never seen such a blatant disregard for safety.It truly boggles my mind and the fact that this happens apparently everywhere means that this action is taught and the drivers are trained to do this.Everytime I pull up to a stop and the Ground guy is there idling I'm tempted to take the keys or move the truck.
unless the sub-contractor paid FredEx to send them to that SAFE driver training class, these guys are mainly pulled from the temp peak season pool... hoping they got their training elsewhere... so i doubt that
this pulling into driveways & leaving the engine running is up there along with wearing no seatbelt
Ground drivers do whatever they feel like doing and (for the most part) get away with it. Express drivers would most likely be fired on the spot for the same infractions.
FDX the home of double standards.
The Express driver who I see most often during the day and I were at the same stop in a strip mall yesterday. I was parked on the right side of the road with my flashers on. He had pulled in front of me, on the wrong side of the road and partially in to the crosswalk. We would be fired on the spot but for him it was business as usual.
Today I saw a Custom Critical truck pulling a small pick-up truck on I-95. Does FedEx now offer towing services?
Aren't they contractors? Maybe it was his personal vehicle.
probably delivering the Custom Critical truck to the contractor. Vehicle in tow is for the return trip.
Oh boy......scandal of the year.

Check out Amethyst's website at pittsburghbellydance.com This photo was taken by Robin L. Houk.
"The key word for describing Ansuya's Certification programs is INSPIRATIONAL. Ansuya provides great insight into the art of belly dance through a very well defined methodology. She will expose you to her deep knowledge of Cabaret belly dance and other styles with great detail, generosity, and humor.

Mavi is a Gypsy at heart and her favorite thing about Ansuya.com is being able to have so much fun learning new styles of Bellydance without leaving her house!
"Having the opportunity to study with Ansuya has been such a gift and honor. Her knowledge and ability to convey concepts through her Bellyskype classes is truly impressive, it felt the same as being in a studio class environment but with more personalized attention. I have learned so much from her and truly have grown to adore her even more than I did many years ago when I first saw her dance. Thank you, Ansuya you are a beautiful goddess inside and out."

"Ansuya Rathor is the greatest teacher I have ever had. My life at 55 is wonderful and Ansuya is one of the reasons why. I luxuriate in the bellydance lifestyle. It is an integral part of everything I do. I am not an Ansuya copycat. She has encouraged me to develop my own style. It is like I was in a cage and Ansuya unlocked the door and set me free. One of the greatest decisions of my entire life was to study with Ansuya. Her work ethic is unmatched. She goes far above and beyond to provide support to all of her students. I had a happy life before discovering bellydance and meeting Ansuya but now it is divine." ~ m'Greet Zelle ~ Mata Hari School of Bellydance Saratoga Springs, New York

Montse is from Barcelona, Spain and feels the one thing that Bellydance gives her that she cannot live without is happiness. Her favorite thing about Ansuya.com is being able to take classes from thousands of miles away!
"I have recently completed both Ansuya's Dancer Certification Program and Ansuya's Teaching Certification Program and I must say that she has a way of reassuring and guiding a student to the "aha" moment that is both gentle and exciting! Over the time we spent together I was reassured of the knowledge I already had, which is a great feeling when you aspire to teach, and also came to the realization that learning can never really be finished. I look forward to spending many more hours studying with Ansuya and highly recommend her classes (both prerecorded at Online Bellydance Classes at Ansuya.com and live by Bellyskype) to all students of dance!"

Whether you are a beginner or seasoned dancer, teacher, competitor… Ansuya has so much knowledge to share… not only about technique, props, combinations, etc, but about history and cultural context as well. She is an unbelievable supportive mentor, and never holds back any tip! She helped me improve my improvisational skills in ways no one did before. Don't wait any longer!"

Her video critiques are invaluable and I still use them to help me to focus on the strengths and improvements in my dances. Thank you so much Ansuya."

text: The other week, journalist Olly Richards published a heartbreaking piece in The Telegraph called "How Kerry Conran saw Hollywood's future—then got left behind." It's worth reading in its entirety, but, in short, it recounts the unorthodox journey of the Conran brothers, Kerry and Kevin, the former a magazine designer and the latter a freelance ad illustrator (neither with any apparent foothold in Hollywood at the time), who set out to make a cost-efficient, feature-length, dieselpunk effects fantasy entirely via blue-screen compositing, a speculative project that ultimately came to the attention of producer Jon Avnet (The Mighty Ducks, Fried Green Tomatoes), who secured the participation of big-screen stars Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jude Law. The resulting film, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004), which Kerry wrote and directed (with Kevin serving as costume and production designer), represents a quantum leap in contemporary effects-driven filmmaking, in which immersive, world-building spectacles, once achieved strictly via painstaking practical effects and/or arduous location shooting (think the original Star Wars, with its model spaceships and exotic Tunisian locales) would forevermore be rendered digitally—and economically—from the comfort of a Hollywood studio. In the wake of their cinematic accomplishment, the Conrans were invited to participate in a summit at George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch in which visionaries the likes of James Cameron, Robert Zemeckis, Brad Bird, and Robert Rodriguez were in attendance—and professed to be genuine fans of the Conrans' groundbreaking work (as did J. J. Abrams, per Kevin, on another occasion).

How did the incident at Pottawatomie Creek in 1856 establish a reputation for John Brown in both the North and in the South?(and obviously that reputation was different in the two regions).
- print Print
- list Cite
We look back at this incident in Kansas as historians and see now how important it was in terms of showing us who John Brown was, how committed he was to the cause and what he was capable of. People were dying every day in Bleeding Kansas in the 1850s, and while Brown's attack was ugly and brutal, it wasn't all that shocking for the time. What was noteworthy was how Brown so strongly advocated violent action on the part of abolitionists. He and his small band of men, along with some of his sons, defended Free State settlements and gained some national attention for doing so
In the hardline abolitionist community, Brown was admired by some, condemned by others, and remained controversial in the anti-slavery movement and nationwide up until his death. Pro-slavery activists and newspapers tended to argue that all abolitionists were like John Brown (which wasn't nearly true), and Brown along with others influenced some in the North to consider violence as an acceptable means to abolish slavery.
Most people, though, and nationwide, were horrified by his actions.

As we move along farther into 2012, it is time to start thinking about spring plans and summer wishes. Although it might be too early yet to get these plans into action, it's a good idea to start budgeting and planning for any outdoor landscaping ideas you may have. One of the latest trends for homeowners is to create beautiful and functional outdoor living spaces.
An outdoor living space can really act as an extension of your home. For our warm Ontario summers, homeowners get a lengthy period of time which they can indulge in and enjoy their outdoor havens. Before you begin to think about creating an outdoor living space, make sure you consider how much it will cost you. Landscaping can be very expensive, so depending on what you need to do, this may be a big financial undertaking.
Think about how you and your family will want to utilize the space… will it be for entertaining, cooking, dining or just relaxing? Consider how many people you will want to seat comfortably and what type of seating you will want (big plush couches, or structured pieces with no cushions?) Also consider all the extras and what you can realistically afford. Consider accessories and technologies like lighting, sound systems or even an outdoor kitchen.
An outdoor living space can truly be an extension of your home. If you are considering creating one in your back yard, talk to some experts now and create a realistic budget so that you can get started as soon as spring has sprung!

Maintaining a golf course has gone from the days of Caddyshack to a science that requires a wide range of knowledge and tools. Golf courses no longer use high rates of fertilizer, large quantities of pesticides, and irrigating with large volumes of ground water. In the past, golf courses were negatively perceived to harm the environment only for the benefit of a game. However, with increased turf research, improvements in technology and equipment, and a generation of highly educated professionals, golf course maintenance has become a true benefit to the environment.
In Tucson, most golf courses are irrigating with effluent or reclaimed water. This preserves the groundwater supply which is a very valuable resource in the desert. Additionally, the reclaimed water is being filtered of its harmful salts by the turf and returned clean back into the ground water supply. Not only are golf courses using reclaimed water, but new technologies monitor soil moisture and salt content that prevent wasting water from over irrigating. The moisture sensors are linked with computerized irrigation systems to restrict irrigation, which in turn, lowers water usage and costs.
New pesticides have been developed which are more effective at lower quantities. The old application rates were in pounds per acre to control diseases, weeds, and insects. The newer products use application rates of ounces per acre. The impact on the environment is reduced and the amounts of pesticides reaching the water table are dramatically reduced. Similarly, research has helped determine effective nutrient levels required in the soil to maintain a healthy turf. In the past, fertilizer was either applied on a set program of weekly to monthly applications or fertilizer was applied solely based on grass color. Fertilizer is now applied based on soil tests showing what nutrients need to be added to the soil, and what nutrients are already sufficient for the plant. This lowers both costs of operations, and benefits the environment by reducing runoff and leaching into ground water.
Fifty years ago manures and other types of organics were the most commonly applied fertilizers. Eventually, synthetic fertilizers replaced the organics because they worked really fast, and were easier to handle and apply. The synthetics do not have a bad odor or leave a lot of residual product sitting on the grass to bother the playing conditions. However, the synthetic fertilizers do not last as long in the soil so higher amounts are applied to maintain proper nutrient levels in the soil. Newer fertilizers are now being designed to have the golfer friendly aspects of the synthetics combined with the long term abilities of the organics to reduce application amounts and lower operation costs.
Even with all the new technologies and tools available to maintain a golf course, the most important is a well educated superintendent. Most superintendents have some kind of formal education, and are able apply these new technologies to their golf courses. They are able to provide a high quality golf course while also having a positive impact on the environment.

Davidyenko at 17/16 kg? Verdasco at 23/21. There are a lot of guys listed at 60, 62, 68, 70 etc. which makes the low tensions look credible.

Macedon Flea Market celebrates 50 years
By: CFA Partnerships and Marketing
Category: Events / Fundraising / Offers, Partnerships
10.44 AM 28 August, 2017
Location: General
Views: 5575
Next year sees the golden anniversary of Macedon Fire Brigade flea market. With planning well underway for the next one in February, we spoke with brigade Captain Greg Snart to find out more about this long-running event.
The annual flea market has a rich history and is the brigade's major fundraising activity. The event raised $23,000 in 2017 and has raised well over $200,000 over 50 years allowing the brigade to replace their vehicles.
Harking back to 1968, the initial idea came from the ladies auxiliary. The community donated bric-a-brac, clothing and large items. Today, this simple formula remains the same with no price tags, an abundance of choice and that broad grin when you find a bargain.
It's the personal touch of working with local businesses and the hundreds of hours of commitment over the year that sees brigade members frequently grabbing their cars and trailers and dropping by local houses to pick up contributions.
Nothing is too big or small, even pianos… not just one but three in one year. A pianola and 35 scrolls sold to a bush balladeer who had heard through the grapevine of this prized item.
Atmosphere is a crucial component at the town's social event of the year. Greg says the secret of their success from day one has been to offer a family friendly all-round experience.
"A not-to-be-missed and major attraction is the live auction. For 3.5 hours, around 100 items an hour are sold. A key tip is to keep it moving and make the crowd laugh. With auctioneer Steve Graham's wicked sense of humour and the ability to ad lib an auction item, it's no wonder a local catchphrase is "buy it this year, use it and take it back next year!".
"Look out for his trusty scribe Harry Hill who, along with his wife Julie, has been a part of this special event since the early eighties."
We did ask Greg how many items have made their way to his family home and the laugh down the phone said it all.
Whether you're a local or grabbing the V/Line train to wander Victoria, take a day out on 24 February 2018 and become part of this historic event.

Charter Communications' new bank debt settled a touch higher from where it was trading after breaking into the market two weeks ago. Traders said the company's new "B" loan was changing hands in the 99 3/4-100 context and that the "A" loan was trading in the 98 3/4-99 range last week.
Banks have been paring down some exposure to the name by selling off the "A" piece, rather than selling the revolver at a considerable discount. The revolver is quoted wide in the 94-97 range. These firms have been able to sell down on the "A" but still stay within fees, traders explained. Institutional investors, on the other hand, are said to be rolling out of the "B" loan and picking up the "A" piece.
A Charter spokesman responded, "We don't look at daily trading levels. We take a longer term view of our capital structure and are committed to improving it, which should have a positive effect on all of our securities."

Sushi and Bananas: Playing Small Games with Your Kids
So my gaming has been quelled a bit by a freak accident. I somehow managed to take a sizable chunk of my thumb out with a bottle opener. I will spare you the gory details, but suffice it to say that even the ER nurse was impressed by my incredible ability to maim myself in such a ridiculous way. So while I haven't had a ton of hands on time with video games I have had some fun times playing analog games while homeschooling.
Now I have to admit that I haven't really focused much on small gaming experiences with Pea up until now. Most of our gaming has been done on boards (with the exception of small games like Timeline and Story Cubes) because she's really wants to play games like the grown ups. Big boards, big set ups, and big stories, but playing games as a part of our homeschooling curriculum doesn't always give us a lot of time for those kinds of gaming experiences. Sometimes we want something that we can squeeze in between other things, in the car while driving to special lessons or the library. Two of the most popular games that we've played in the last week have been Bananagrams and Sushi Go!
Bananagrams have been great because we are working with two kiddos with different reading levels so being able to build their own boards, so to speak, means that they don't have to compete with one another in terms of points. While competition is a big deal for these two kids in particular they have been more than happy to compete by seeing who uses all of their tiles first (and gets to draw more tiles while yelling "Peel!" and make everyone else draw more too) and even with who gets to swap one tile for three when they get stuck (and that means getting to yell "Dump!"). So, I guess that means they just compete by seeing who gets to yell loudest and most often. When we play Bananagrams, it really becomes more of a cooperative experience. We spend time looking at each others' boards and thinking about what words we might make if only we had a… It's a great way for working on our spelling skills and thinking about how words are made (and for working together).
Sushi Go! is a game that Alisha and her crew introduced us to a while back. It's a small card game that involves one of Pea's favorite things, sushi! The rules of play are simple. You pass hands of cards back around the player circle and you choose the card that you would like to add to your deck. You collect sets of cards to build runs or to collect more than the other players of a particular card. One of the things that the kids have learned quickly that there can be up and downsides to choosing to collect certain things over others when it comes to scoring things at the end of the round or game. It's fun to see their individual strategies develop across games. At the end of the rounds each player has to add up their points based on the cards that they have collected. If you have younger children it's easy to add them up based on come basic addition, but for our 3rd graders (the perfect age for beginning to learn multiplication) we spend some time adding up our cards and thinking of the problems in terms of multiplication. It's quick and dirty and only a few problems per round, but all positive reinforcement helps. It also helps to justify why it is so important to be able to do multiplication when the "math" is just not so interesting.
There are so many good small games with great pedagogical possibilities and some of them we don't actually see until we actually play the games. For us the solution has been to play games that we see as being fun and then thinking about what things can actually be learned from them. That also means that I will be taking time to tell you all about our experience playing the new games! Until then, play with your kids!

The Worlds Greatest........ Boat Anchor.
West bound on on Welshpool, pass what I would guess, about 20 of them in formation.
I turn into Kewdale. Pick my bits up and return to find ambulances, tow trucks and WAPOL's Harleys littering Eastbound on Welshpool.
I guess the brakes took some getting used too.
Someone must have panicked, grabbed a handful and flipped it end over end and those behind did exactly the same. 😉

Over two decades later, KRS One's debut solo album Return of the
Boom Bap finally gets the reissue it deserves. Pressed for the first
time on color vinyl, this double LP not only includes a bonus 7" of
Kenny Parker remixes, it also features the first-ever color sleeve on
a US pressing.
Stripping away the intricate production of the final Boogie Down
Productions album, Sex and Violence, Return of the Boom Bap
saw the already iconoclastic rapper return to the bare bones, gritty
territory of his landmark masterpiece Criminal Minded. KRS-One's
delivery, too, burned with a reinvigorated fury, spitting out his rhymes
with pummeling cadences and world-wise intelligence. Although
the record isn't as focused on social activism and political protest
as the latter Boogie Down albums, KRS-One never made his lyrics
simplistic, nor did he turn his back on what could now be called
prescient social commentary. The combination of raw beats and
emotion-driven rhymes made Return of the Boom Bap a genuine
comeback for KRS-One, one of the founding figures of modern hiphop.
1. KRS-One Attacks
2. Outta Here
3. Black Cop
4. Mortal Thought
5. I Can't Wake Up
6. Slap Them Up
7. Sound of da Police

KRS-One's first solo effort

• First US pressing with a full color jacket
• Blue vinyl, limited to 1000 copies
• Includes bonus remix 7" and two additional b-sides on side D

"The whole cryotherapy experience has been extraordinary! When I started my sessions my body was covered with hives and sores, I was over-stressed, and felt as though a dark cloud was hovering over me. With each treatment my skin improved exponentially, my stress levels reduced, and my dark cloud seemed to dissolve. The results I experienced from cryotherapy have helped me move through some very difficult obstacles I've recently faced in my life. Thanks to the staff at The Cryo Spa, I am on the road to a healthier, happier me."
~ Dawn B.
"I suffer from chronic pain due to a herniated disc, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease. As an extremely active and athletic person, to not be able to do the things I love to have fun and stay fit, is devastating. I also had to quit my job bar tending, almost three years ago, because I couldn't walk for a month. Unfortunately, I fall through every little crack when it comes to getting helped or fixed. As far as insurance goes, it's pre-existing so my insurance won't cover anything to do with my spine. I was going to have a discectomy back in the winter of 2010, but the surgeons were reluctant since we were going to pay cash. They couldn't guarantee it would work and didn't feel comfortable taking our money. Surprising, but true. They're used to dealing with insurance companies. If it doesn't work they just go back in and try again. That has left me with no other choice than to spend thousands of dollars on alternative therapies. I have the Tempurpedic mattress, I've done injections, spinal decompression, acupuncture, pain management, we actually bought one of those Back2Life machines, magic crystals...the list goes on. When I started cryotherapy I experienced more consecutive pain free days than I had in 7 years! It brought me to tears, several times, because I was so happy! When you live in chronic pain the simplest tasks become monumental. To be able to live my life in less pain while also sharing cryotherapy's life changing benefits with others, brings me more joy than I ever thought possible. Being an owner of The Cryo Spa Inc. has started a new chapter in my life and given me the opportunity to help others, who literally, feel my pain."
~ Allison C.
"As someone with many illnesses, arthritis, migraines, and severe allergies, cryotherapy has seriously helped! My joint pain has decreased and my range of motion in my affected joints has improved. My migraines are occurring less frequently, not necessarily their severity, but I get less each month. Cryo has also improved my overall attitude and well being. I've noticed I have more energy and I'm just in an overall better mood after doing cryo! It's something I really enjoy doing and is making me feel significantly better. Also...it helps with the stress of college."
~ Hannah Z. - TCU student
"After I tore my ACL this past summer my knee constantly brought me some type of pain. Icing it only did so much and I hated having to modify my workouts. My competitive nature didn't allow me to take "rest" days. After starting cryo on a regular basis my knee is much more manageable and rarely swells! I love cryo!!"
~ Ali P.
"I had L4 L5 surgery 2 years ago and still have a nerve that becomes inflamed if I stand too long or lay down. Cryo has been a life saver for me. The pain is gone most of the time. It is such a blessing to feel good and be pain free. I would recommend that everyone give it a try. It has been well worth it to me and many others. What a blessing!!"
~ Donna M.
"One of the ways I come down off of the morning at work and get energized is by going to cryotherapy every day during my lunch hour! The girls at The Cryo Spa Fort Worth are the best! Between a nice, good freeze and the few minutes I spend chatting with them, I always leave smiling and ready to head back to work and face whatever comes up! And even more importantly, it's what has gotten me back to running after I had to have surgery for a torn meniscus. If you haven't tried cryotherapy, you should! Besides how good you feel afterwards, there are so many benefits including increased metabolism, less inflammation/swelling, less muscle soreness, faster recovery from injuries, better sleep, and more!!"
~ Marsha C.
"My previous job required me to be on my feet all day long. I was lacking energy and experiencing lower back pain. Once I experienced cryo for the first time, I immediately noticed a boost of energy and the pain in my back was gone. Cryo continues to help boost my energy level throughout the day. I love it!"
~ Michelle Y.

The oath of office will be administered to Barack Obama and Joseph Biden on the steps of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., on January 20, 2009.
By the time of his retirement in June 2010, John Paul Stevens had become the second-longest-serving Justice in the history of the Supreme Court. Now he draws upon his more than three decades on the Court, during which he was involved with many of the defining decisions of the modern era, to offer a book like none other. Six Amendments is an absolutely unprecedented call to arms, detailing six specific ways in which the Constitution should be amended in order to protect our democracy and the safety and wellbeing of American citizens.
"For lawyers, law students and historians only."
In Five Chiefs, Justice Stevens captures the inner workings of the Supreme Court via his personal experiences with the five Chief Justices - Fred Vinson, Earl Warren, Warren Burger, William Rehnquist, and John Roberts - that he interacted with. He reminisces of being a law clerk during Vinson's tenure; a practicing lawyer for Warren; a circuit judge and junior justice for Burger; a contemporary colleague of Rehnquist; and a colleague of current Chief Justice John Roberts.
"Half Biography, Half Memoir"
Here is an unabridged audio collection of the "best of the best" science fiction short stories published in 2009 by current and emerging masters of the genre, as narrated by top voice talents. In "Erosion",l by Ian Creasey, a man tests the limits of his exo-suit prior to leaving a dying earth. In "As Women Fight", by Sara Genge, a hunter has no time to train for a fight to inhabit his wife's body in a society of body-switchers....

Film is dead! Long live television! Well, that's what it's beginning to look like anyway. The last few months has seen a multitude of film properties making the jump to the small screen. We've already had Hannibal and Bates Motel, Sleepy Hollow and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are on the way, while there is also talk of The Exorcist, Dusk Till Dawn and El Mariachi all getting their own TV shows.
Now we can add one more massive film franchise to that list. Yep, Rambo will be bringing his bulging biceps, red bandana and M60 machine gun to the small screen. The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Entertainment One and Avi Lerner's Nu Image have just signed a deal to produce a television series based on everyone's favorite 1980s mass-widow-maker.
Of course, the next big question is this: Will be involved? Well, the answer to that is a simple 'maybe'. Sly is currently in talks to participate in the venture on a "creative level" although the possibility to Stallone reprising his most iconic role is being discussed.
This isn't the only Stallone film which is planning to be rebooted on television. We also recently learned that is likely to relaunch the Stallone-starring crime drama Cop Land for television.
And now to top everything off here is some of the usual corporate BS that studios release when these kind of things happen. Entertainment One CEO John Morayniss got his PA to write up the following statement:
The ability to fuse the big screen and the small screen through Avi's feature film expertise and eOne's domestic production capabilities and international distribution infrastructure, makes for a highly complementary partnership.
Lovely stuff. What do you think? Are you pleased to hear of this project, or is another cynical attempt to cash in on a highly recognized property? Give me your opinion below.

So you've just finished up your ordering session with your favorite local photographer (wink wink) and are ready to display your fabulous photos in your home. But because you are a unique individual and your photos are one-of-a-kind, you want to showcase them in a unique and individualistic way.
Once again Pinterest can be your best friend (or enemy) when it comes to being creative with photos. I thought I'd share with you some of my favorite ways I've seen photos displayed. They may not be too out of the box, but something just a little different than your neighbor down the street.
Personally, I don't really care for the entire wall to be covered in photos. Less is more right? But it's your house, so do with it as you please.
There's just some classic about a white mat and a white frame. I love this little pop of color in the monogram and how it ties in with the outfits the family is wearing.
If you are more of the colorful type, this might be an option for you. Choose a different color mat to complement a black and white photo. The mat becomes more of the focal point, but it draws you in to see what it's framing.
This is a creative and definitely non-traditional way to display your photos. I kind of like the vintage look of the bottles and editing on the photos. It's something different and would need to be placed perfectly in the home for maximum exposure.
Here's a quick way to spice up that wall gallery, add some string and a few hooks and you have a little something unexpected.
For all of you instagram, OCD-type personalities, this one will speak to you. I love the use of squares, the pictures, frames, matting and overall design. I've come to realize I like my designs to be symetrical in nature, or at the very least balanced, so of course I love this layout. Just don't go crazy with too many, that's a lot of holes and if your husband is like mine, he's probably hoping you won't get the urge to redecorate this wall any time soon.
I'm sure you've seen this image or a variation of this image before, it's nothing new, but it still is creative, so I'll give them that. I've also seen individual pictures in each window pane. Both have a vintage feel and add a little more dimension to the traditional frame.
This is a little too traditional for my taste, but it is creative, so I threw it in here anyways. Use a plate holder as your next picture frame holder. It's a simple way to spice up a guest bathroom or kitchen if you're not into hanging pictures on the wall or using shelves to display your photos.
Again, here's another take on the window frame idea, except this one looks a lot more aged with the use of the old photos. Keeping it classy.
This is another idea I like and I actually have a project that I've been working on for some time that is similar to this. It's not that its that hard of a project to complete, I just haven't taken the time to do it. But, I like the twine and the little clothes pins. I'd probably actually do it with 3 photos across instead of the 4, just to draw more attention to those, but whatever floats your boat.
And last but not least, if you happen to have an old wheel from a bike or cart, this might be an option for you. I like the use of the circle instead of something square, but I probably wouldn't put this in my home, it doesn't really fit with anything I have. But it's still a cute and creative idea.
Even if being creative isn't for you when it comes to displaying your family photos, the important thing is that you do display them! My 2-year-old-son loves looking at family photos and seeing his grandparents in Michigan or aunts and uncles who live in North Carolina and Florida. It's important for him to know that family is important to us.
In case you are interested, I do offer frames, whether or not you have portraits taken with me, these are available to anyone. You can check them out here.
What are some of your creative ways to display photos? Leave me a comment below and I'd love to check them out!

11 Things We Have Learned Working In PR
When Maroon PR opened 11 years ago, the PR landscape was much different than it is today. Throughout the years, our agency has evolved with the growth of digital and we have continued to adapt and learn along the way.
As an agency, we are lucky enough to work with all types of companies – large and small, non-profit and for profit, consumer facing and B2B. We have learned a lot from our clients and through our experiences. While many of our guiding principles of PR have remained the same, we are tasked with new challenges as we continue to navigate our fast paced, digital, content-rich, world. As we look back on 11 years, we share 11 things we've learned along the way!
1. Details, Details, Details
When it comes to PR, details are extremely important. From messaging in a press release, to who is included on a media event invite list, to how you fit the story into 140 characters. By paying attention to the details, the larger goal is more easily achieved.
2. Your voice is important
As PR professionals, we are involved in many crucial decisions that help shape the public's opinion of an organization or person. Remember to speak up when you have an opinion; you owe it to the organization.
3. Edits are not negative; they simply mean the person is engaged in the content or subject.
Whether it's edits to written pieces, design work or content production, we can get discouraged by edits. We have come to learn that edits are signs of engagement. When someone is engaged and believes in the story being put together, edits are an important and worthwhile part of the process.
4. Newspapers are not dying
It's actually an exciting time for the media industry. Newspapers are evolving, just as TV and radio. People are getting their news from many platforms – print, traditional television, digital, radio, podcasts and more – which means there are more ways than ever to get your story to reach intended audiences.
5. Research is important
With information at our fingertips, it is easier than ever to do research. It's a crucial piece of media relations and social media management. Always research the publication and the reporter you are pitching, and remember that no two reporters are the same. Always research that hashtag you're about to include in your company's tweet.
6. There is power in partnership
We take pride in trying to help our clients create partnerships. Mutually beneficial partnerships are a great way to achieve growth.
7. Jimmy Fallon isn't the only one who believes in the "thank you" note
In the world of email communication and text messaging, it's easy to lose the personal touch when building and maintaining professional relationships. The small gesture of sending a hand written, signed, sealed and delivered (yes, in the mail!) note to a business colleague can go a long way.
8. Social media is not a fad, but it will change
When social media became a thing, the business world was skeptical. Now it's the way the world communicates and there is no doubt it's here to stay. For PR pros it's our job to keep on top of new platforms as they develop so we can make informed decisions about how businesses can be reaching audiences.
9. Storytelling remains the focal point of successful PR
Storytelling has always been the cornerstone of PR but in today's world the opportunities for storytelling have expanded. While in the past we could only rely on the mass media to tell our stories, organizations can now be their own publishers and tell their own stories through the web and social media. Earned media is still extremely powerful but your owned media is also an important tool.
10. Relationships are the key to business
Though the PR landscape has changed, our guiding principle of Maroon PR – We Drive Growth Through Relationships – has remained the same after 11 years. Our goal is to drive growth for our clients whether it's through media relationships, customer relationships or business relationships.
11. Remember to have fun and celebrate wins
PR can be many things—rewarding, grueling, a grind! At Maroon PR, we also like to remind ourselves that PR is a lot of fun. Always remember to take time to have fun with your clients and colleagues, and celebrate PR wins!

Featured in the The Musical Theatre Factory's 4x15 series!
"If you enjoy death humor and musical theater, look no further for a little demented, first-class entertainment."
--Sharon Nichols, Chronogram
A mysterious corpse is knocking about Victorian London, and two unscrupulous cousins are desperately trying to find it - except when they're desperately trying to lose it!
If the corpse in the train wreck turns out to be Uncle Joseph then Cousin Michael gets the family fortune, unless Cousin Morris can dispose of the body before he gets there.
From pillar to post, from packing-case to piano, the hapless heirs scramble to keep up with the vanishing cadaver in this musical adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic farce.
