Also, have any of you ladies gotten any concerns from guests regarding Zika? A few people have mentioned it to me and now I'm getting nervous but I see such mixed views on it online, what do you guys think??

I was working with her too but she wasnt being clear and then stop responding so I called the Playa Weddings and spoke with Christine who was super helpful!
Apparently, there is one designated King Room for this promotion so the WC onsite can only attend to one couple at a time. And this is only for weekdays, so if she has wedding coming up or is busy they wont book your Bog Day Preview. Its super limited which is frustrating and Margarita doesn't really seem to care.

hi brides! I was wondering if you ladies were planning on using the makeup/hair services that are included in the vendor list or going elsewhere? I found one company that seems to be amazing based on pictures and reviews but the idea of the $500 outside vendor fee is making me go back and forth! thanks in advance!
I am leaning towards using them OR leaving the resort to get hair and makeup to avoid fee. As for my photographer, Ivan Luckie- I am paying the $500 fee bc we feel that is the one place not to scimp one- you'll have those pictures forever. We were not remotely a fan of the resorts.
Just got back from my trip to Cancun! We were able to do a site inspection at the Hyatt Ziva. It was amazing!! I fell in love! So happy with my new location. The pictures do not do it any justice. It's breathtaking in person. Originally I wanted to get married on the beach but the gazebo is definitely the place to do it.
@Amandab1378 have you found any decorations for the gazebo? My next step is deciding on decorations!
I'm still in search of a photographer and videographer. I wasn't too impressed w/ the one contracted w/ the hotel. I met w/ one of their reps and was very disappointed w/ the lack of preparation for the meeting. So if anyone can share who you're working with it would be great!
We booked Ivan Luckie http://www.luckiephotography.com. We used them for our engagement photos way back and loved loved them. I also really like his journalistic style, his pictures appear as if your watching a movie or feel like you are really there. Remember when looking for photographers to find what style you both like. Each bride is different. (I didn't know styles until wedding planning )
Check his site out!
Posted 19 July 2016 - 03:13 AM
I think in just going to stick with the onsite hair and makeup. I'm also bringing my own stuff in case I need to touch up.
We found an amazing photographer and were so excited!! If anyone is still looking I highly recommend:
I love how he captures the moments, the raw emotions and just love his artistic photography.
Posted 19 July 2016 - 06:52 AM
As far as hair and makeup - I had mine done by the resort (included in the package) and it went much better than I expected! I was really nervous about this and had a hair/makeup trial as soon as we arrived to put me at ease and had plans to fork out the extra money if necessary but it wasn't needed, thank God!

@Guz16 Hi! Congratulations! I want to see photos!! Love your hair! They did a great job. That's a good idea about the trial hair/makeup. How much did they charge for that or was that included?? Also, what happens when it rains? Did you have to choose different decor? Were they able to use the same and just made it work? Also, who did you use for DJ? Sorry for all the questions! Getting nervous and anxious as the days get closer.
Posted 21 July 2016 - 04:18 PM
@Guz16 wow your hair came out beautifully!! did you like the way they did makeup as well? airbrush?? I'm sorry to hear about the rain but I'm sure it was beautiful regardless! My reception is scheduled to be in that upstairs covered outside area? I forget the name but since it will be July I keep debating if moving it inside may be a nice break from the heat for the guests. what did you think of the ballroom where you had the reception?
Posted 22 July 2016 - 07:10 AM
Hey guys... question for those who already had their weddings there.... Did any of you do a "Private rehearsal dinner" the day before the wedding??.... I am also getting married there March 2017 however looking for options to accommodate 60-70 people. I know they can do private dinners at their restaurants but for 20 people max. I wanted to do a rehearsal dinner on the sky terrace but they quoted me a price thats almost the price as the wedding itself?! =/ Any suggestions??
Posted 24 July 2016 - 03:28 PM
Does anyone have pictures of their wedding at this resort that they wouldn't mind sharing? My fiancé and I are trying to figure out which venues we want to use for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.
Thank you in advance!!

Teacher of the Week: Vickie Lapp
OGDEN, NC (WWAY) — Sometimes you have to break the mold to make a lasting impact. And that's exactly what WWAY's Teacher of the Week Vicki Lapp is doing.
The second grade teacher rarely utters the word class, instead she uses the word "team." She explained, "For second graders, high school students team is the key; it builds a relationship. It is what we need in our country so that we can continue on in our community and work together."
Mrs. Lapp teaches as Ogden Elementary. She has the smallest classroom in the building and utilizes every inch, even hanging posters on the blinds. But it is that teamwork mentality that really makes the room functional.
"We promote being a team and a community and work together for what we need. We make a list of the things we need to be successful in here and work together to make that happen."
She was brought to tears at news of her nomination: it wasn't the the $400 gift card to Teacher's Aid or the stack of of coupons for free Happy Meals for her students. It was the kind words of a parent who nominated her.
"I'm very touched by that. And humbled. It means a lot to me that someone whom I have taught and parents of children I have taught feel that I'm worthy of that…it means a lot to me and I will always treasure it."

Who should the Mooseheads protect in the expansion draft?
|Report an Error
Share via Email
As noted in Wednesday's edition of Metro Halifax, the Halifax Mooseheads have some tough decisions to make in the next few weeks.
General manager Cam Russell needs to submit a 16-man protected list for the QMJHL expansion draft by May 17. No one is exempt from the list, although the Mooseheads can lose no more than two players, including a maximum of one goaltender, when the Sherbrooke Phoenix make their selections on June 6.
Russell isn't saying much about who he's going to protect, but here's an educated guess:
Forwards (9) — Darcy Ashley, Brent Andrews, Martin Frk, Nathan MacKinnon, Jonathan Drouin, Ryan Falkenham, Andrew Ryan, Luca Ciampini, Matthew Boudreau
Defencemen (6) —Sawyer Hannay, Steve Gillard, Trey Lewis, Brendan Duke, Austyn Hardie, MacKenzie Weegar
Goaltender (1) — Zach Fucale
Exposed — Brad Cuzner, Alexandre Cote, Brandon Pye, Mitchell Shewfelt, Josh Desmond, Alexandre Sills, Brian Lovell, Marc-Olivier Daigle, Anthony Terenzio
Most of the protected names are no-brainers, but there are additional considerations.
It's not entirely clear what the Vancouver Canucks' plans are for Hannay. They have to either sign him by June 1 or relinquish his rights. But even if signed — which seems likely, given his progress — it would make sense for them to return him to the Mooseheads for his over-age season.
Weegar, meanwhile, is the only player on the proposed protected list who didn't play in the QMJHL this season. But after averaging close to a point per game at the Ontario junior A level this season, he's a big part of the Mooseheads' plans with Konrad Abeltshauser expected to play professionally.
"He's going to bring an element of the game that we need," Russell said. "Losing Konrad is going to be something we're going to have to replace, we're going to need an offensive defenceman, and we're hoping Weegar can come in and do that. He's 18 years old and we're looking forward to adding him to the mix."
Cuzner, meanwhile, could be the Mooseheads' third over-ager along with Hannay and Gillard. It was telling that the Mooseheads promoted him to the second line for their final playoff game with Cameron Critchlow suspended. That said, it's unlikely Russell would leave a younger, higher scoring player such as Ciampini, Ryan or Boudreau exposed to protect him.
Shewfelt, turning 18, and Desmond, turning 19, proved to be capable QMJHL defencemen this season and could be good pick-ups for Sherbrooke, but 17-year-olds Sills and Lovell will be enticing.
Both had good training camps with the Mooseheads in August. Sills, a fifth-rounder (79th overall) last year, played midget AAA in Amos, Que., and is a forward who had 16 goals and 15 assists for 31 points in 41 games. Lovell, a third-rounder (49th overall) last year, played at the Ontario Hockey Academy in Cornwall, Ont., and is a defenceman who had eight goals and 21 assists for 29 points in 28 games.
Who do you think the Mooseheads should leave exposed? Let us know below.

I shut the vacuum off to check for blockages but could not find anything blocked. When I then turned it on again it runs but seems to only be running at 1/2 the motor speed and still has the rubber buring smell.

text: Dear Rifle: In answer to your questions: First you make fun of the fact that methanol toxicity mimics multiple sclerosis. Would you like instructions to the auto-responder? In the case histories you will find one on Alicia Morris who was diagnosed by two physicians as having multiple sclerosis. We got her off of NutraSweet and a couple of months later all her "MS symptoms" disappeared! In fact, Dr. Roberts tells other physicians not even to make the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis until the patient is off aspartame. We've reversed a good deal of cases whether you want to believe it or not. I'll be glad to give you Alicia's phone number for verification. 2. The Walton study was not flawed to begin with. How do you flaw a study before you start. NutraSweet refused to sell Dr. Walton the aspartame because they would have no control over the study. If you had read all the shenigans NutraSweet has committed in their studies you would realize why they want control. I'll be glad to send you a copy of the Congressional Record where the National Soft Drink Assn. protested because Searle used the wrong test when the right one was available, the wrong solution, didn't test for breakdown products and didn't test for temperature elevation. If you know you're going to get results that won't pass, I guess the best thing to do is not do them correctly to begin with. Would you like to read some excerpts from the conclusions of the Task Force headed by FDA lead Investigator, Philip Brodsky? "We have uncovered serious deficiencies in Searle's integrity in conducting high quality animal research to accurately determine or characterize the toxic potential of its products." "We have found instances of irrelevant or unproductive animal research where experiments have been poorly conceived, carelessly executed or inaccurately analyzed or reported." "The cumulative findings of problems within and across the studies we investigated reveal a pattern of conduct which compromised the scientific integrity of the studies." And I could go on and quote how U.S. Skinner was asked to indite Searle but I'm sure you've read it in posts before. Dr. John Olney informed Searle that Aspartic acid caused holes in the brains of mice he was testing. Ann Reynolds, a researcher hired by Searle, confirmed Dr. Olney's findings in a similar study. Dr. Jacqueline Verrett, FDA toxicologist and a member of the investigation task force said the original aspartame studies were "built on a foundation of sand." November 3, 1987. And she reminded the public when she appeared on an NBC affiliate, Chanel 4, expose out of Miami on February 27 and FEbruary 28 of this year - when the entire FDA approval process of NutraSweet was exposed (Sweet Sickness). If you send them a blank tape they will send you a copy of it! Next, I mentioned that aspartame is not a diet product and quoted the Congressional Record. "Aspartame has been demonstrated to inhibit the carbohydrate induced synthesis of the neurotransmitter serotonin, etc." You said: "What reference do they cite?" I mentioned the reference in the quote and you requoted it - "Wurtman affidavit"! Next, you said Dr. Garth Nicholson directly contradicts my theory on the Desert Storm Syndrome. You might be interested to know that I sent a packet of information to Dr. Nicholson. He wrote me back and said that the men never mentioned aspartame. That is true because the men did not realize aspartame was the culprit just as people with all these neurological problems don't realize aspartame is the culprit until we get them off of it. However, in talking to one of the soldiers who was actually there, he told me that the pop companies sent diet drinks that sat in the Arabian sun of 120 degrees for as long as 8 weeks and they drank them all day long. Keep in mind that if it was 120 degrees those cans had to be 150 degrees inside. At 86 degrees aspartame liberates methanol in the can. All the symptoms of Desert Storm are identical to aspartame disease - memory loss, headaches, joint pain, confusion, vision problems, depression, etc. This particular soldier said they only had two things to drink - either water or diet soda. I said: "So do the ones you served with who drank only water have the syndrome?" He said: "Of the ones that I know, only the ones who drank the diet soda have the problem!" I happened to ask - nobody else did! Further, last I heard he was doing a poll. And because I ever mentioned it, the Aspartame Consumer Safety Network sent out press releases over the issue. Whereupon Pepsi decides to put "freshness dates" on their cans, and I couldn't help wondering what made them decide to do it then. The next point was that I said that aspartic acid and phenylalanine without the other amino acids in protein go past the blood brain barrier and deteriorate the neurons of the brains. You said: "What reference"? The reference is: DAAD; DEFENSE AGAINST ALZHEIMERS DISEASE by DR. H. J. Roberts. It is discussed in the book and it was discussed at Dr. Roberts seminar on Alzheimer. If you want the book which has now been nominated for a Pulitzer you can get it at 1 800 814-9800. Also, the neurosurgeon, Dr. Russell Blaylock, in his book EXCITOTOXINS; THE TASTE THAT KILLS says: "The ingredients in NutraSweet literally stimulate the neurons of the brain to death." Health Press 1 800 -643-2665. Rifle, when you kill off the brain cells you get Alzheimers! The most common symptom of NutraSweet is memory loss! It was Dr. Harry Waisman who studied the effects of aspartame on primates. Seven infant monkeys were fed the chemical in milk. One died after 300 days, 5 others had Grand Mal Seizures. Searle deleted these findings when they submitted his study to the FDA! Rifle, I've not only been researching NutraSweet a long time but we get people off the stuff and see their symptoms reverse - if we get to them in time! Some have perished. 6000 with Desert Storm Syndrome have perished! If you want to use NutraSweet go right ahead, but you can't make the history of all those flawed tests and shenigans pulled by SEarle disappear. NutraSweet was never proven safe and even when the Board of Inquiry told the FDA not to approve it because of the seizures and brain tumors, Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes, head of the FDA, over-ruled his own board of inquiry. Then he went to work for SEarle's Public Relations firm and refused to speak to the press for 10 years! If you want to read the history of NutraSweet I will be happy to forward you instructions to the auto-responder. But you can't clean up this issue because what Searle did is recorded history! Monsanto bought Searle in 1985. Betty Martini Domain: betty at pd.org UUCP: ...!emory!pd.org!betty

How much are school administrators worth to a community?
To some local residents, the salaries of Lawrence school district administrators listed in Wedneday's Journal-World might seem high, too high. But are they out of line?
It's difficult to compare all the Lawrence salaries listed on Wednesday with pay for similar jobs in other districts, but superintendent salaries provide a benchmark. The $130,000 salary of Lawrence Supt. Randy Weseman was the highest on the Journal-World list, but Lawrence also was the largest district represented.
How does that salary stack up in other comparisons? Weseman's predecessor, Kathleen Williams was earning $122,000 when she left the district three years ago. Three annual raises of just 2 percent would have put Williams at Weseman's current salary.
The Salina school district, which is slightly smaller than Lawrence's, pays its superintendent about $117,000; Topeka, which is the next largest Kansas district to Lawrence, pays $155,000. The larger Blue Valley School District in Johnson County pays its superintendent $166,000. Those comparisons seem to indicate Weseman's salary is reasonable for a district this size. And, after all, you get what you pay for, generally, and Weseman would seem to be a bargain for Lawrence.
When considering the salaries of other members of the Lawrence district's administrative staff, it's important to remember that one of Weseman's first moves after taking over as superintendent in 2000 was to reorganize and combine administrative jobs and cut more than $400,000 in administrative salaries.
The reduction in jobs, as well as the continuing budget challenges facing the district, means that the Lawrence administrative staff is working a little harder these days. Being a school administrator while fees are being added, schools are being closed and employees are being laid off poses many special challenges. Administrators also must document student achievement, oversee federally funded programs and many other tasks that keep classrooms running. There's no summer break; it's a year-round job.
The last thing to consider when deciding whether our school administrators are paid adequately or too much is to ask how important those people are to the quality of our schools. If we want professional staff members with advanced academic degrees, we should expect to pay professional salaries. If we place a high value on providing the best possible education for our children, we also need to place a high value on those we hire to ensure the quality of our schools.
Weseman has done a good job of pinching district pennies and trimming administrative expenditures. He and probably most of his administrative staff are earning reasonable wages for the services they provide for this community.

Mitja Krebelj (2010) Design and implementation of the framework for web applications development. EngD thesis.
Download (1301Kb)
The World Wide Web is a rapidly evolving system that has become an important platform for developing and running applications. Software reuse is one of the most important ways to build new software. Web frameworks are a good example of software reuse. They are application generators that help us build web applications by using abstract classes, prefabricated components, and well defined software patterns. In the thesis I described the design and implementation of a custom web framework, I compared it with two existing open source web frameworks, and described possible bindings among them. I concluded that binding these frameworks offers two major benefits. It may widen the set of web applications that the custom framework supports, and it may increase the custom framework's performance. In the conclusion of the thesis I listed the advantages and disadvantages of custom framework development and suggested possible enhancements of the framework.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) December 16, 2013
Blue Loan Services is a full service mortgage company that has been servicing the residents of California with some of the lowest wholesale home loan interest rates and the quickest online processing times for many years. The Blue Loan Services team of mortgage professionals, headed by father/son duo Robert and Brandon Blue, is dedicated to serving its clients with honesty integrity and competence. Recent Blue Loan Services testimonials show why it continues to be one of the favorite home loan companies for many California residents. The company's fast response time, professionalism and their ability to work with their clients and the loan servicer to resolve difficult loan processing situations consistently come out as some of the reasons Blue Loan Services clients choose to work with the company.
One of the Blue Loan Services reviews, that gives the company a five star rating when it comes to knowledge, helpfulness and follow through, says of Brandon Blue and the Blue Loan Services company, "After dealing with the banks I decided to find an independent loan agent that had more options in his portfolio. I came up with Brandon Blue and couldn't be happier! Brandon combined our two mortgages into one at a better rate, which the bank could not do, but did not tell me they couldn't until they lead me on for two weeks. The whole process was completed in thirty (30) days with Brandon keeping us up to date along the way - no surprises! I will be a return customer for sure."
Another of the recent reviews, from client living in Murietta, CA who closed a refinance loan with the company, says, "I contacted Brandon Blue through the internet. I read all his fabulous reviews and he lives up to every single one of them! He is efficient, friendly and knowledgeable and, as I told Brandon, the process to refinance was a breeze. I would absolutely recommend Brandon again and again. You will feel confident in him and his staff's capable hands!"
A refinance client from South Natomas, Sacramento, CA says, "I worked with Brandon Blue last year to refinance my home. Last month, when I was purchasing a rental property, I decided to work with Brandon because I trusted that he could get the job done. He and his loan processor, Kari Shane, worked diligently on my loan. Even though my 30-day escrow closing was delayed a few days, everything worked out just fine. I have already recommended Brandon's team to my friends and would consider using him again."
These are just a few of the many shining reviews the company has received over the years. Their dedication to excellence and reputation for fast, professional and courteous service has helped the company secure a place as one of the best choices for California home loan borrowers. For more information on how Blue Loan Services can help California home loan borrowers get approved for their home purchase loan or refinance quickly, please visit BlueLoanServices.com or call 1-888-929-BLUE (2583) to speak with an experienced mortgage professional.

Editor's Letter
Editor's Letter
We are made in the image of God. God himself is relational in the Trinity and His desire is to have a loving relationship with us and that we have loving relationships with each other. In the past two issues we covered how we relate to technology and how the church and community relate to each other. In both issues, it came down to relationships people had or the absence of relationships on an individual level. This issue has developed from the past ones, moving from a community level to a more individual one and looking at the overall components of a healthy relationship.
In recent magazine surveys, many in the Tyndale community mentioned that life's busyness does not leave much time to build depth in relationships. Yet the church and community magazine articles showed how important it was to spend time developing relationships. In the technology survey most accepted technology as a great way to stay connected, yet many are worried that we were losing depth in relationships.
Recently I listed my priorities in life, from investing in relationships to church and work. On another list I wrote where I spent most of my time. To my surprise my list of priorities was in reverse to what I spent my time on. Relationships take time. It takes time to actively listen to a loved one, coworker or friend and understand where they are coming from. It takes effort to understand their differences and to embrace those differences in daily life. When you do not consciously make the effort to set aside time for those important relationships, eventually the intimacy diminishes and conflict arises. I am working on consciously rearranging how I spend my time to align with my priorities. Life is short.
Through developing the magazine it became evident that the components of any healthy relationship are similar. To know and be authentically known takes openness, to actively listen to each other, to try to use the love language that the person will understand, to sacrifice at times for the other and work through conflict in a safe and caring way. In today's society of instant gratification, a healthy relationship is counter cultural, yet healthy relationships are what God calls us to have with Him and with each other.

A Midsummer Night's Dream
When I decided to take on directing A Midsummer Night's Dream, it was because I was attracted to the magical, sensorial aspects of the play. You can almost taste and smell the tantalizing and fragrant world Shakespeare creates. I also was attracted to the challenge of exploring the colliding of the three distinct worlds of this play; that of the aristocratic lovers, Bottom and the simple hard working tradesmen, and finally that of the unpredictable other-worldly Fairies in their magical kingdom. Hopefully this collision will make for an entertaining evening of fireworks for PSC audiences.

A Great Man Has Passed
Gespeichert von raymond am Mi, 08/26/2015 - 09:29
Lenny Robinson, or as some people know him "Marylands Batman" died in a tragic accident earlier this month. He was an amazing person who I admired both for his car collection which was amazing but most of all for his philanthropic work. He would visit children in many hospitals in Maryland while dressed up as Batman and also in his Lamborghini which was modified to look just like a bat mobile. He'd make children laugh and smile as Batman as much as he could. I remember seeing a video about him for the first time, I was so happy that someone would go to those lengths to make children's lives better in some way. Unfortunately he died while trying to fix the "Batmobile" on the side of the Highway when another car crashed into his. Have you seen some of his videos? Maybe you've met him? Tell us about anyone you know who does something like this.

Primo Donnas
Page Tools
The California girls do their growing up on new album Gold Medal. This is not a bad thing, discovers Kelsey Munro.
The Donnas
Metro Theatre, 624 George Street, city
January 28, 8.30pm
Bookings 9287 2000
They also play the sold-out Big Day Out on Wednesday.
The Donnas are back and they're all grown up. The California all-girl combo have ditched the tales of 40 Boys in 40 Nights, their Ramones-tribute nicknames (Donna R, Donna F, etc) and the songs of pure cock-rock complexity. Instead, the Donnas have decided to do things differently with their sixth album, Gold Medal.
Veterans of the music industry at only 25, they still have plenty of attitude, but they're using their real names and they've finessed their songwriting. Where, then, on their hard-touring road to rock stardom did the Donnas get all mature?
They started the band more than a decade ago when they were in high school. Like early influences the Ramones, they had basic musical skills and became more proficient over time and countless gigs.
And, wisely, they broadened their influences, realising they couldn't go on doing the same thing for ever.
"On our last record [2002's major-label debut Spend the Night] we wanted to prove that we can do cock rock just like any dude and maybe even better," says singer Brett Anderson, formerly Donna A. "I think that we proved that point. So we don't need to do it again. That would be redundant."
But there's no need to panic. There are still songs about boys and guitars on Gold Medal; there's just more to the album than that.
"It's a lot more melodic and a little bit slower and a lot heavier, actually," Anderson says. "Which probably sounds like an oxymoron, but I think when you slow down songs you can dig into them more. The direction we chose to go is more like the kind of music we're into listening to right now and the kind of music we want to play onstage."
The album is more honest, with more of the Donnas' real lives and personality showing through. That ties in with their avowed new maturity and the use of their real names.
"We dropped the names so we would talk about them less, but dropping them actually made people want to talk about them more," Anderson says.
Guitarist Allison Robertson has admitted that an old "rule" of the Donnas' songwriting was they couldn't let their real feelings show. Life experience put an end to that.
Perhaps alluding to this, Anderson volunteers that "guys aren't really happy about having a girlfriend who travels all the time, so I've lost a couple of boyfriends that way".
Take new single Fall Behind Me: "The gaps have a way of catching up," Anderson sings, her voice pure California with an unforced rock'n'roll sneer, "and you can't cover that with make-up."
Or consider the harsh indictment of the band's fair-weather friends, Friends Like Mine: "Friends like mine will never let you down/Until you hit the ground." It's clear the Donnas have shifted their focus.
Part of the tough pose is a pre-emptive strike against gender bias. All-girl bands are not unheard of, but they're still rare. The Donnas' bravado comes as much from their irritation at people's narrow-mindedness regarding females in music as from genuine expression and their love of the music and the lifestyle. Anderson won't be drawn directly on it.
"I think it's stupid," she says. "I mean, when I wake up in the morning, I don't think, 'Hey, I'm a girl, what am I going to do today?' - y'know what I mean? I'm not that aware of my gender. The only reason I am is because people are constantly bringing it to my attention and it kind of pisses me off."
She says the Donnas formed as an all-girl band because they were schoolmates who loved music, not because they were trying to make a point.
With Gold Medal, the four-piece has clearly decided it's better to dodge the gender card with skill and complexity, rather than bluffing, full-on attitude.
"I think before, we were trying to give people encouragement or empower them," Anderson says. "On this record I think we're saying it like it is. I think that helps people, too."
The Donnas are touring Australia. They might be more grown-up, but they're still looking for a good time.
"I'm newly single, so that will help," Anderson says. "It hurts in other ways, but if there's anywhere to be newly single, it's on the Big Day Out in Australia."
Lock up your sons.

Disclaimer: I do not own 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' and any affiliated characters and events.
State of Disunion
Chapter 1
"…Overcast and raining, temperatures in the low 40s. One hundred percent chance of thunderstorms tonight with wind gusts of about twenty-five miles per hour. The rain continues into tomorrow and throughout the week. Happy Hour approaches, folks, and that wraps up our weather forecast for this evening. Enjoy the spring day, Chicago. Drive home safe…"
The radio voice faded out to a pop song just as another voice spoke from somewhere overhead. "Mr. Bueller…hey, Mr. Bueller? Are you all right?"
Ferris Bueller blinked a couple of times from where his head rested on his desk and slowly looked up at his young secretary, Cynthia Forsythe. "Let me sleep, will ya?" He mumbled.
"Here are the photocopies you requested." The stenographer smiled and handed him a stack of typewritten pages.
Ferris reluctantly sat up and took the papers. "I sent for these things a half hour ago," he grumbled, putting on his reading glasses to examine the copies more closely. He flipped through the pages disinterestedly, one hand stroking his temple all the while. His tie hung crooked from when he'd loosened it several hours ago and the top two buttons of his blue collared work shirt remained unfastened. His short brown hair stuck up on the side he'd been resting against the desk a minute ago and his usually youthful face looked haggard and worn.
His work desk was in much the same state as its owner. Papers lay stacked in sloppy, teetering piles on all ends, masking much of its surface. Stray pens and paper clips poked out from among the rubble of paper. A stapler that seemed to eternally be out of staples perched precariously on the edge with an assortment of unused paperweights. The paperweights always had a way of dropping to the floor repeatedly whenever Cynthia was around. Cynthia, with her Hollywood starlet figure and low-cut blouses, didn't like anything better than bending down to retrieve them when in the vicinity of her employer.
One of them presently landed on the floor with a light thunk. "Oops," Cynthia murmured, stooping to pick it up.
But Ferris wasn't even paying her any attention. He skimmed tiredly over the typed lines, his mind dull with inactivity. His hand ceased its rubbing and stretched out toward a three-fourths empty paper cup of diet cola from the local Speedy Eaties. The drink sat atop one of the paperwork mounds beside a crumpled Speedy Eaties sandwich wrapper and a half-depleted packet of mustard. He picked it up and took a halfhearted sip before slowly setting it back down.
"Is that everything you wanted, sir?"
"Yeah, it looks all right." Ferris sighed and shoved the whole stack away in one of his cluttered desk drawers. "What took you so long?"
"I was putting together the booth materials for the convention next week, like you told me to."
"That's right," Ferris took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. "I forgot about that. Detroit, this time, right?"
"Mm." Ferris leaned back in his seat. "You can book the airline tickets for Monday, business class. And try not to get some ungodly departure time, will you?"
"Yes, sir. Will that be all?" Cynthia tilted her platinum blonde head and gazed at him expectantly.
"Yeah, better call it a day. See you tomorrow, Cynthia." He folded his arms behind his head and smiled wolfishly as he watched the rear end of his secretary disappear into the hall.
The office was quiet for a second. Ferris closed his eyes and reveled in the moment. Then the clock chimed insistently, indicating that 5 p.m. had come at last, and all at once Ferris Bueller came back to life.
He sprang up out of his chair, not caring when it tipped over backwards and crashed into the potted plant sitting by his window. He hastily gathered up his briefcase and coat by the door before clicking off the lights and locking up. He turned and moved briskly down the hall, whistling as he went.
He smiled and waved to the other people in his department as he passed. "See you, Phyllis…Tom…Randy! Good work on the Detroit pamphlet! I'm getting more printed up to use in Cleveland next week."
"Gee, thanks, Ferris!" Called a short, bespectacled red-haired man from the water cooler. He looked back down and grimaced as he realized he'd overfilled his paper cup and was pouring water all over his shoe.
Ferris came to the grouping of stenographers' desks and smiled as he leapt up on top of them. He hopped from desk to desk until he got across, ignoring the shouts of feigned displeasure from the young girls.
"Ferris, leaving so soon?" The matronly old Mrs. Worthing smiled and then gasped as Ferris intercepted her in the hallway and twirled her around.
He laughed and kissed the gray-haired woman's leathery cheek. "Don't think I'm rushing off on your account, Mrs. Worthing. If it were up to me, I'd stay here all day with you. But I've got a family to think of." He took her hand and pressed it against his chest. "I couldn't just abandon them, despite my undying love for you."
"Oh, my land!" Mrs. Worthing blushed and swatted the young man away. She hurried down the hall, her arms aflutter. "My blood pressure's through the roof! You'll be the death of me yet, boy!"
"I don't care what you say! I still love you, and I always will!" He called, grinning. Her door slammed shut in reply. He laughed and continued across the floor until he finally boarded the elevator. Once inside, he couldn't keep still, tapping his foot and humming along with the elevator music as the lift descended seven floors.
The doors opened onto the expansive lobby of Meadowbrook Insurance Adjustment, Ltd., Proudly Serving the Midwest Since room was spotless and businesslike, and very pleasing to the eye of a prospective client. The patterned tile, the comfy seating arrangement around a coffee table supplied with only the newest magazines, the bright chandelier hanging from the middle of the ceiling, all were designed to impress.
Ferris crossed the room purposefully to the receptionist's desk. "Hey, Eunice," he called cheerfully.
An unassuming, mousy head looked up. Eunice, close to forty, looked closer to fifty. She hid behind the comfort of her desk most of her days, trading courteous remarks with the clientele all day long. Most of the time, she kept to herself and read when she wasn't busy. A hermitlike old maid, it had been a stretch to get her to attend any of the office parties until Ferris had joined the firm. He had done wonders for her. He felt sorry for the lady, who was never anything but nice to him, and took pride in getting her to rediscover the world.
He reached her desk and picked up the green nameplate sitting closest to the edge. "How are we doing today, Eunice?" He asked, looking the little plate over. When he was finished, he dropped it into the large potted fern sitting on one end of the long desk.
Eunice sighed. "Oh, Ferris, why'd you have to do that? It'll take me hours to find it in there!"
"Don't sweat it. I'll get you a new one that isn't that disgusting green color." He smiled down at her. "Let the boss know I've checked out in case he tries hunting me down for something. And, uh, remind him that I'll be out three, maybe four days for that convention going on next week, okay?"
"Is your wife going with you?" She asked lightly, typing a memo onto her blue computer screen.
"My what?" Ferris shook his head. "Oh, no. She never comes with me on my business trips. She'd be bored out of her mind."
"I'm curious to meet Mrs. Bueller. I've never seen her around here." Eunice rested her chin on her hand and gazed up at Ferris.
"That's because Mrs. Bueller is a very busy woman." He smiled thinly and quickly changed the subject. "In case I don't come in tomorrow, Eunice, I'll say goodbye now until this time next week."
"My new nameplate has to wait a whole week?" Eunice arched a brow. "I'm not impressed, Ferris."
"Lighten up, Eunice. You're no fun to mess around with, you know that?" He smiled and pulled the headband out of her hair. When she smiled and looked back at her computer screen, he turned to go. He paused next to the fern, studying it for a minute, then backed up until he was in front of her again. "Place your trashcan behind your desk instead of next to it. It'll look nicer that way. And get some flowers in here." He pulled a leaf off of the fern. "They'll look nicer than this old thing."
Eunice shook her head and chuckled. "Good night, Ferris."
He went through the door and paused for a minute to watch the rain pouring down heavily on the parking lot. He finally smiled and walked from the building to his car bareheaded, as if in retaliation of the rain. The weather had no effect on his mood, which lightened with each step away from the firm. It was this charisma, this attitude, this charm that had landed him the job as marketing director of Meadowbrook Insurance Adjustment, Ltd. Unfortunately, this same sparkling feature of his personality was completely absent during office hours. Sure, it was a decent job, but it was a dull one. As a result, he couldn't muster an ounce of enthusiasm for it. He'd even grown tired of driving down the street and seeing every metro bus in the city plastered with his smiling image alongside the firm's slogan, 'Claims You Can Count On!' and underneath it, 'Proudly Serving the Midwest Since 1971. 555-4732. Call Now to Arrange a Meeting With One of Our Friendly Adjustors!' He wasn't just the big marketing director; he was the company's figurehead, their poster child. And so Ferris was resigned to watching life from a large Plexiglas window seven stories above the ground.
He threw his briefcase onto the passenger seat of his station wagon and stuck the key in the ignition. The entire car smelled like Speedy Eaties, and cheerios dotted the floor and seats. He pushed aside the jumbled collection of Wayne Newton cassettes sitting on the dashboard and opened the glove compartment. He waded through a mess of napkins, baby wipes, discarded pieces of chewing gum and tattered road maps, searching for his mint tin.
"There it is." He reached down underneath the passenger seat, shoving a pocket dictionary out of the way. Once he'd finally retrieved it, he closed his door and turned the key. The engine slowly sputtered to life and he pulled out onto the highway toward home.
He knew his car was a piece of shit, but Ferris didn't care. Speeding along the road, he felt free and alive. It really didn't matter what he drove; he was riding high.
Suddenly, he slammed on his brakes and slowed to a stop as a mass of stationary vehicles came into view. His spirits deflated and his shoulders slumped forward. The sound of pavement whizzing under tire was exchanged for the angry blare of car horns. He sighed. The traffic jam had permitted reality to come cruelly crashing down on him once more.

Let's go undercover
Like young lovers should
Cause I can kiss you better
Then this letter could
And you say
At least under
These covers
I listen to you
And all this music about you
I hope it finds you smiling again
Till never begins
Or till forever ends
I'll still be lost in poetics
Or lost in the mail
Can nobody tell you
These guys have a passion for fashion
But are sincere like a statue
And if you have to choose
I am gonna lose
I always do
We always do
Nostalgia is drunk
And frustration can be gorgeous
But can I keep my mouth shut
(I listen to you
And all this music about you
I hope it finds you smiling again
Till never begins
Or till forever ends)
Cause sometimes gorgeous can be frustration
When your life is nothing
But an honorable mention
On a radio, on the radio.
Maybe I'm a baby
But I think it's time to grow.
You're everything I live for
-ever got shorter.
I'll know on a radio better
I'm a quitter than a starry
Tortured soul
The lips I kissed now shape songs of sadness
Hold me dear when I'm away
And I'll know when I hear your name
Even if I have to sing it to myself.
Lyrics taken from http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/braid/forever_got_shorter.html
