Phas Gaye Re Obama(2010):"Small budget big laughs! It's one of those rare Hindi films that's funny and smart at the same time!"
Phas Gaye Re Obama showcases how global recession/meltdown impacted lives, affecting not just an America-based businessman, but also an underworld don in the dusty plains of small-town India.
Phas Gaye Re Obama traces the journey of Om Shastri[Rajat Kapoor], an American citizen of Indian origin, who loses all his wealth overnight to the global recession and is asked to vacate his home by the bank, unless he pays up $100,000 within 30 days.
Seeing no other option, Om comes to India to sell a small piece of property.
But within days of landing in India, he is kidnapped by a 'recession-hit' underworld gang [Sanjay Mishra, Manu Rishi, Amit Sial], who think that he is still a millionaire.
How do the gangsters cope with their catch forms the rest of the story.
Handled deftly by Subhash Kapoor, an extremely talented director, the film has several sequences that stay in your memory.
He has written a fresh subject and his likening the kidnapping business to any other business is quite hilarious.
Even the humour is more for the class audience than the masses.
Subhash Kapoor's dialogues are witty and enjoyable.
It is an engaging film because of its largely original writing.
Also, director Subhash Kapoor allows the actors enough room to interpret their characters well.
Rajat Kapoor as the suave NRI is natural, Neha Dhupia as Lady Gabbar is convincing, Sanjay Mishra as the broke gangster is incredible, Manu Rishi as the helpless sidekick of the gangster is wonderful and Amole Gupte as the gangster/politician gets his timing spot-on. Although each actor pitches in a commendable performance, I'd like to single out Sanjay Mishra and Manu Rishi for making every sequence they feature in, tremendous.
In short,Phas Gaye Re Obama is must watch delightful light movie.

View Complete Post
lets say i have 10 customers total listed on customer table and i only want to show the customers who bought something on the gridview. each customer has their own unique customer id# from 1 to 10.
if three of them bought something (lets say customer #1,5,8). those three records will be shown on the gridview.
i want to color the first row yellow, and second row red, and again third row yellow, and fourth row red, and so on.
how can i do this?
Is it possible to first add controls (ie. CheckBoxes) to a GridView with AutoGenerateColumns set to true. Then to click a single save button which loops thru the controls in the GridView, gets their values (ie. Checked/Not Checked) and then saves those values to a database?
Is there a way to hide automatically columns in a Matrix type raport in RS 2005. The columns I want to hide have only 'N/A' values in them because there is no data available to populate them. Here is the example:
I am working with Sharepoint 2007. I have a list of 130 buildings located in six different cities and three different provinces. I imported this list from an Excel spreadsheet. I also have a document library that contains various files associated with these
buildings. I've added a custom column to the document library that contains a lookup field to the name of each building. I also have two additional custom columns that have the city and province. What I would like to accomplish is to have the city and province
columns automatically be set based on the name of the building selected, such that these values are taken from the same row of this list as the building name.
Hopefully my question makes sense.
Thank you, James
I realize this is a simple question.
I have a gridview with 3 columns, price, tax, and total (for example).
I want the total column to contain price + tax.
I've set all three columns to be templated, although maybe they don't need to be. This grid is read-only.
I'd like to do it in code and not in a Bind, because there are some other calculations I need to do for other columns and it's easier for me to do it in VB.
Do I do this in pre-render for the label in column 3? If so, how do I access the contents of the other columns in that row?
Hi Hopefully you can help me with another problem I'm having. I'm trying to design a regular SSRS report using a cube as data source here is where I run into difficulties. This is a financial type report so it has attributes such as Actuals,
Forecast,Plan etc. These attributes reside in a cube in a dimension called "PROCESS". The measures is of course dollars. So what I need is to somehow segregate dollars for actuals into one column forecast into another etc etc in my query
designer so my dataset has 3-4 distinct dollar columns on which I can build my report. I thought I could accomplish it by using a calculated member functionality but I can't find anything there that will let me filter the values by "PROCESS" dimension.
I've also tried to create separate datasets filtering dollars the way I need them in each however report will not let me have fields that belong to two different datasets. Any thoughts on how to solve this issue. Hopefully using GUI instead of
MDX editor.
I need to generate gridview based on table value... let us consider i have in my aspx page one dropdownlist in which i have binded somevale
for example: dropdownlist contain:- Item1
based on Item1 i have three table first table conists A,B,C,D value.
Second Table consist 1,2,3,4,5
Third Table consist (0.5,0.6,0.7) for 1, (0.7,1.0) for 2, (0.6) for 3, (0.8) for 4, and another(0.8) for 5
based on this three table i need to show girdview like this which is below
If its Item2 dropdownlist then row and column of girdview will be any number based on first,second,third table value for Item2
like this if Item3 dropdownlist then row and column of girdview will be any number based on first,second,third table value for Item3.
help me to achieve dynamic rows and column based on database value...
Its a very help if you guys will give me code in asp.net C#....

Have you ever thought of what are the 2015 kitchen and bathroom designs? The trendsetters for the month of January brings more than just a brand new year, but also new predicted trends. I will bring to you five prominent trends that are predicted from sites such as Forbes and Better Homes and Gardens.
Black or White?
Starting off the trends, the theme colors for this year are black and white. In regards to the color white, it creates a neutral palette for people to work with in their kitchens or bathrooms. Using white provides a base color that anyone can mix and match other colors with. Additionally, black is another exceptional color choice to design with. Ever heard of people making references to the phrase "the new black"? In this year's design trend, black is the new black.
Another design choice is the usage of warmer-toned metals such as gold or bronze. The choice provides a great accent for your base colors (white or black). Not only is warmer-toned metals a great accent, but it provides a great contrast in color for kitchens and bathrooms. The use of metallics is nothing new in 2015. People use metallics in design for the gleam they provide, and metallics are a real eye catcher. Who would not want a little pizazz in their kitchens?
Open Shelving
Also, another upcoming 2015 trend is to continue to promote that "open-concept" feeling in the house. In designing a kitchen, open shelving provides a more open and inviting environment for homeowners. Additionally, open shelving provides easy and simple access to utensils and plates. In a design perspective, open shelving gives less of the "clutter" feeling. The reason is due to the focal point that open shelves provide. The fact that everything placed on these shelves is not hidden away by a door draws people's eyes to take a peek.
Glass Doors and Floor-to-Ceiling Cabinets
In addition to the open shelving trend, the use of glass doors provides an alternative to exposing what is hidden in your cabinets. Glass doors provide additional eye appeal and another way of promoting that "open-concept" for the kitchen. In terms of floor-to-ceiling cabinets, gives a cleaner look for your kitchen and additional store space to store any additional dishes or utensils. Also, who does not like additional storage in their kitchen?
Lastly, the concept of using wallpaper adds character for any kitchen. We know not everyone likes wallpaper because it has that negative connotation of an old/outdated house. However, wallpaper design has changed in the years. Wallpaper provides a nice contrast to any painted area, and it can compliment your kitchen appliances. Sometimes a kitchen can be a bit lackluster and unappealing, but incorporating at least one wall with wallpaper can flip things around. So the next time you are looking for something to spice up your kitchen, why not try wallpaper?
These are some of the 2015 kitchen and bathroom trends, what do you think of these trends? Are they a hit or miss in your books? What are some additional trends you think will be a hit in 2015?

Factors To Consider In Hiring Call Tracking System
Inbound Call Tracking And Analytics Can Increase E-commerce Sales
Inbound Call Tracking And Analytics Can Increase E-commerce Sales
The Internet has changed the way how businesses target their customers. E-commerce has paved the way for better sales and marketing and reaching out to mass market from a single location. While a considerable number of customers tend to carry out their purchases online, there are many who prefer calling the store before sealing the deal. When a user visits e-commerce store there are many ways to track the visitor behavior cookies, heat maps, click tracking and many more. But when the same customer makes a phone call most online stores seem to fall out of place. Very few small and medium businesses make use of call tracking technology to derive information about the caller. This is a big loss and affects the conversion rate of an e-commerce store rate.
Call Tracking
This is where Call Tracking Metrics is so important in today competitive world of e-commerce. You need to opt for call tracking and analytics integration to create the perfect synergy between your online store and your phone (customer support). Without this tracking service, you have no idea what products the customer was looking for, and you need to fire a volley of questions to them. Asking these questions to the caller is similar to asking them to fill up an online form which none of us like. Thus when you already know what the customer has been looking for, there are better chances that you can seal the deal. Learn more about

, follow the link.
Easy Integration
The call tracking technology can easily be integrated with Google Analytics which you might already be using to track viewership on your website. This allows you to track call volume against web traffic and conversions. You will be able to filter the tracking results by campaign, phone number and call source and know what converts to increase your sales! Apart from this, you will also be able to track what keywords the caller used to find you, measure the length of the call and the pages that they viewed before and after the phone call takes place. Compare this to the traditional method where the only thing that you could do was make an educated guess or ask the customers related and unrelated questions, and you can surely know the advantages that we are talking.
Call tracking solution also offers you a live dashboard where you can get information on some things such as call duration, the activity of the agents. All the inbound and outbound calls can be recorded for analysis which helps in improving the quality and increase the conversion rate. A good solution will also send email notifications of the calls to the concerned persons, that includes data on the received and missed calls and also voicemail messages if the caller leaves any. The best information

is available when you click the link.
While there are some call tracking solutions available in the market not all allow call tracking and analytics integration.

One of the most artistic expressions of a straw bale wall are the niches that are carved into it. I have laid out a step-by-step process for the most common niche I see in straw bale homes: the arch top.

Insurance for Straw Bale Homes in New York
An insurance agent in New York State reached out to me yesterday asking for more straw bale homes to insure in the state. Very cool.
We Have a National Straw Bale Building Code!
This is perhaps the most exciting day in straw bale construction history. The proposed appendix on straw bale construction was approved at the International Code Council (ICC) Final Action Hearings in Atlantic City on October 4, 2013! As a result, we now have a national straw bale building code!
Help Save a Historic Straw Bale Building
I hope that you have heard about the Feuillette's house. It is the first house made of straw in Europe and the first one built with a wooden frame filled with straw in the World! It is 93 years old and in an excellent condition! We need your help as we hope to buy it and thus preserve an important part of straw bale construction's history.
Conversations on a Plane StrawBale.com
Gabriella and I have noticed a recent surge in new subscribers to StrawBale.com and many who have signed up have contacted us to let us know they are brand new to the world of straw bale construction. We want to welcome all of you here and we figured it would be helpful to give you an introduction to what it's like to build a straw bale home.
Watch The Curves – StrawBale.com
One of the most stunning aspects of a straw bale home is the shape that window and door openings take. The gentle curves flood light across the room and lend a sense of calm and peace to the occupants. These very same curves that bring so much joy and serenity can also drive home owners crazy. That sounds unlikely; however, when the curves are not properly built, they can cause all kinds of problems as the home is finished.

Straw Bale Tiny House
If anyone ever wondered if living tiny is possible while living in a straw bale structure, wonder no more. There are several options available to you and your imagination is the only limit of what might be possible.
How Much Does It Cost to Build a Straw Bale House?
This is without a doubt the most common question I am asked about straw bale construction. The problem is that answering this question is not easy. In hopes of reaching more people who might have the same question, I've outlined five things to consider when trying to get a handle on what your straw bale project might cost below. I've also included two examples of straw bale projects (the Applegate Residence and the Mountain View Cabin) and the material costs associated with them.
Replacing Rotten Straw in an Existing Straw Bale House
A consulting client recently asked me what the best practice is for removing rotten straw from an existing straw bale house. Whether you need to replace a small amount of straw or an entire section of bales, the process is pretty much the same. Below are the steps to replacing rotten straw in an existing house. Although each specific location may have subtle differences, the basic steps are still the same.

"Two years after the release of their last album, eccentric pop maestros múm return with their fifth album proper, simply named Sing Along To Songs You Don't Know. A flickering candle of an album, the album is more laid back than múm's recent outings, this time much of the songs revolve around a lightly prepared piano, hammered dulcimer, a string quartet, marimbas, guitars, ukuleles and in the background of a few of the songs one can hear Örvar's parent's parakeet singing with the piano. The album was recorded in countless different places in four different countries, although most of it was done in múm's native Iceland." – Morr

"Stephen Wilkinson, a.k.a Bibio, follows up February's wonderful Vignetting The Compost with a jaunt to Warp records for his fourth full-length release, Ambivalence Avenue. The near-absence of the lo-fi field music vibe of Vignetting… and its predecessors, coupled with the introduction of programmed beats and an elaboration in genre references, are the clearest signals of Bibio's marked change in direction here. Fire Ant features relentlessly chopped vocal cuts over a chunky boom-bap beat, that has more in common with the likes of Hudson Mohawke than with any of Bibio's previous outings. S'vive is a funky slice of continental dance-hop reminscent of Daft Punk or The Avalanches. On more familiar ground are tracks like Haikuesque, Lovers' Carvings, and the lead single Ambivalence Avenue, which explore a terrain of colour-drenched guitar polyphony, light percussion and psychedelic vocals, which instantly have Wilkinson's mark on them. Ambivalence Avenue sounds like Bibio flexing his creative muscles, while still fuelled by the subtle flourishes, in both melody and production, that distinguished his previous works. An impressive progression from a natural talent." – Martin Skivington

Ministry on the Borderline: Tijuana
January 14 – May 31, 2019
April 6, 2015
Similar to our Vocation of Peacemaking series, The Borders I Cross is a series of reflections from BPFNA ~ Bautistas por la Paz members and friends about their peacemaking journeys. This particular series focuses on the many borders crossed for peacemaking, which include physical borders as well as those such as language, culture, race, religion, nationality, generation, class, and sexual orientation. These essays come from people from all walks of life; those who cross borders as students, in their paid professions, in their volunteer time, in their family lives and/or in retirement. We hope you enjoy this new series from the BPFNA!
I am subbing in an English class at one of the local high schools. A tenth grade boy on the front row is eyeing me suspiciously. Getting eyed suspiciously is nothing new for me, but this guy's not letting up. His glare is unremitting, almost unblinking. He slouches in his chair as if to get a better view of all 6'2" of me, chews pensively on the eraser of his pencil and stares up as I pace and talk and gesticulate about the importance of verbs. He is definitely skeptical, though I doubt he has heard a word I've said about verbs.
At lunch I walk across the crowded campus to the teacher's lounge to use the bathroom and refill my water bottle. As I approach a table of some ten kids eating outside, I see their heads turn in unison to look at me, then quickly turn away, laughing, smirking, sharing OMG looks with one another.
Lord knows how many Facebook posts I have been the subject of, how many times my photo has been taken surreptitiously, on how many occasions I have been the topic of conversations. Some I know of.
Even if there is some part of me that craves attention, none of this is pleasant. I did not choose this. I did not choose to be born with the body of a boy and the brain of a girl, and if I had, I certainly wouldn't have chosen to look like…well, me.
And yet, every day since coming out as transgender I get to cross borders. And every day I say yes to a school's offer to sub, I choose to cross borders.
Showing up is always the first step; it's a crucial step; sometimes it's the hardest step. But to cross a border additional steps must be taken.
Take the skeptic in the first row. I make it a point to engage with him; I make eye contact; I move close to him; if possible, I find some way to speak to him, ask him a question that requires a reply. He might not let me cross his border, but I mess with it.
With the group at the table, I intentionally walk close to them. I catch an eye and smile pleasantly, yet, also knowingly. "I'm here," I say wordlessly, "and I know you see me, and that's okay."
I make it a point to cross these borders when I can – gently, respectfully, good naturedly – and sometimes, though not always, the borders disappear and we connect, person to person, human to human.
It has taken me a long time to learn how to do this. It has taken me the better part of my lifetime to be able to do it. And always it costs me something. At the end of the day I am spent; I eat compulsively; I sit on the couch, my beloved little cat in my lap, motionless, shell-shocked and teary, yet also triumphant, even happy. Given the opportunity, I would do it again tomorrow.
Sometimes it works the other way round.
I have just passed the table of gawkers and am fumbling for the key to the classroom when I see a girl approaching. She is lovely, and I wonder again as I have wondered countless times before, What must it be like to walk through the world in a body that is yours, that fits, that you recognize in a mirror, that you want? When our eyes meet, I see the moment of recognition, but this time a huge smile lights her face and falls on me with beatific grace. Everything in her bearing says, "Hey, you're transgender. Awesome! I'm glad you're here. Welcome." And I am suddenly aware that the borders are not all theirs, not all out there, but in here, too, in me. I know because she has crossed them. In a moment of sheer, unmerited grace, she has crossed the borders I have made, the borders that isolate me in a world of shame and longing and fear, and though I will not shed them until later, I am moved to grateful tears.

Come on who in their right minds would travel all the way from the far east on a bumpy uncomfortable camel to Bethlehem believing a prophecy was about to be fulfilled!
Did you know there are over 100 messianic prophecies in the Old Testament, verses that all point to Jesus Christ. Verses that talk about his birth, his life his betrayal and his death. http://www.clarifyingchristianity.com/m_prophecies.shtml
These wise men had studied these scriptures and were prepared to make this journey of sacrifice to find their ultimate prize.
What makes these men "wise" wasn't their scholarly attitude or academia but their astute perception and understanding of who Jesus really was. How do we know this?
The answer lies in studying the gifts they laid at Jesus's feet.
Gold is symbolic of deity and kingship and is referred to frequently in scripture. In fact we read in Exodus about how the Ark of the Covenant was formed of inlaid Gold.
This gift was purposely given to the baby Jesus recognising his kingship being the son of the most high in human flesh.
On a practical note it's value could very well have financed Joseph and Mary's escape to Egypt.
Frankincense is derived from a tree in modern day Kenya and Somalia. It's obtained by making small incisions in the bark allowing this white gum to flow out.
It is amazingly fragrant when it's burned and so was used in worship as a fragrant offering to God particularly in burnt offering ceremonies. (Exodus 30:34)
Frankincense is symbolic of holiness and righteousness. By giving this gift these wise men were acknowledging Jesus's kingship and how in righteous obedience he would become the ultimate sacrificial lamb.
Myrrh is derived from small thorny trees using the same process as Frankincense. The resulting myrrh-like resins are often referred to as Opopanax, Balsam, Bdellium, Guggul,and Bisabol.
It was widely used in the embalming of bodies during this time, other uses included a drink known as "Gall" created by adding wine. A cheaper version mixed with vinegar was offered to Jesus when he was on the cross. (Matthew 27:34)
Myrrh is symbolic of bitterness, suffering and affliction representative of Jesus' death in his crucifixion for all of mankind.
All three gifts are prophetically chosen:- Gold for Deity, Frankincense for righteousness and Myrrh for suffering.
Jesus was the divine Son of God, who through obedience went to the Cross to suffer and die in order that we can be reconciled to God.
May this understanding fill our own hearts this Christmas with fresh insight and understanding. Amen.

I play chess because I enjoy the challenge of forcing your opponent into making moves that you want them toĀmake.Ā It is rewarding to play a match in which you are evenly pitted against someone else, and you play waiting for the other person to make either a mental mistake or they "blink."Ā At that point in the game it is up to you to take advantage and press home your victory.Ā Chess is generally not a forgiving mistress when you make mistakes.Ā It helps me to be better disciplined in my thinking, my concentration on tasks, and in forseeing possible consequences to actions taken in the present.

Dear Parents of children ages 4 1/2 - 6,
I wish to encourage your participation in the wonderful Music Makers program. Research indicates that, up to age 9, the most nurturing environment for your child's musical growth is a group class that involves singing, ensemble playing, and dance and movement activities. Families who participate in these classes delight in the joy and enrichment this curriculum brings to their children. I love to hear, whether from our Musikgarten keyboard teachers or private piano teachers in the neighborhood, the appreciation they have for the Musikgarten children who have followed our sequential program for music literacy. They affirm the bright musicality, joy in music making, and the confidence of these children.
I genuinely value sports and the other arts; they build significant skills, teamwork, and discipline in our children. Yet in these endeavors you will not share a journey like the musical one that continues to richly and deeply nourish your relationship to your child. Every step of the way the parents and caregivers partner with the teachers and children, keeping their relationship to the music affectionate, playful, enthusiastic and connected. The songs, musical activities, stories, poetry, instrumental play, appreciation for nature and music literacy are shared and enjoyed in the context of family togetherness. Though it is a drop-off class, you participate in the last 15 minutes of the hour long class. All week long you are encouraged to share in the music making activities and discoveries.
One day your children will pursue the study of piano, or another instrument, or perhaps join a choir. Maintaining a good-natured and musical partnership with your child is one of the key factors that determines a child's success and happy development as a musician. At Musikgarten we love to partner with parents in the beautiful work of teaching your children to love to make music always and forever.
Below I have shared one parent's appreciation for this program as well as the course description.
Amy Pappageorge
P.S. We offer limited scholarships for families who cannot afford the full cost of the class.
"What a difference it made for my younger daughter to take the Music Makers series of classes. My oldest, Madeleine, took classes as a toddler up to Family Music, but then we weren't able to fit the pre-piano classes into our schedule. We found our way back and she is now almost done with the piano program. But now that Sarah has been through the Music Makers series, I see a big difference, and I am so glad that she was able to take part in these classes. Even though she has not yet started piano, she sits down at the piano for fun, improvising, making up her own songs. I can't tell you how many times I waited in another room, listening to her creations, not wanting to interrupt her process and break the spell. She would run over afterward and tell me the story she was making up as she was playing. "When I was playing up high, the butterfly was fluttering around the flower, and when I was down low, the bee was chasing her..." Just heartwarming!
"Besides the creativity that she feels free to express with music, I also appreciate all of the pre-note reading activities in the Music Makers series of classes. This work, which in any other setting could be dry and boring, just came to life in Ana's class and was presented in such a fun, no-pressure way. The small group setting, the movement associated with the skill, and the warm environment all contributed. This was something that my older daughter misses out on, and I now see the benefits of the skills that are taught in these classes. If I could do it all over again with Madeleine, I would change our schedule to make these classes a priority!
"The confidence she gained during this important time is so apparent. Besides being able to express her own ideas in a musical way, she is able to sit down at the piano and figure out songs that she has been hearing her whole life in your classes. She has not even started the keyboard classes yet, but she has already taught herself Hot Cross Buns, Minuet, Ode to Joy, and others. It's amazing to see the musical ear she developed, and how that contributes to her being able to figure out these songs she loves!"
This curriculum richly supports the development of the skills needed to pursue a successful musical journey. One of the hallmarks of the Musikgarten program is that we are preparing children to be lifelong, joyful musicians. Our curriculum and teachers support music making that fosters a dynamic, playful and creative relationship to music making. Instilling a passion for music is key. As Ellen Johansen writes, "This is the enduring motivation of children to spend the time to learn an instrument and to put in the hours to refine their technique and their musical ear." Children learn to love to make and express music, not just to play the piano and to simply follow the song sheet.
Music Makers at Home and Around the World: The Next Step
You and your child have enjoyed the singing, moving, rhythmic and tonal activities that are hallmarks of a Musikgarten class. In the next level we keep all of these great elements, plus offer musical discoveries that meet the developmental needs of your child as he or she enters a new phase of independence.
So how do we teach all these important musical skills and have so much fun?
• We sing songs with opportunities for individual responses and a broader range for vocal development.
• We practice moving with more complexity.
• We continue to practice rhythm and steady beat.
• We tell stories with movement and music, inviting the children to bring them alive.
• We offer many different opportunities for children to verbalize their ideas and suggestions.
• We continue to practice patterns with accuracy, using tonal and rhythmic names that we later connect to notation.
• We emphasize making connections between symbols and sound first with graphic notation and then with note reading familiar patterns. Later, these are found in the notation of favorite songs.
• We develop ensembles, building skills on large motor instruments.
At this time many parents ask us: When should I start my child on an instrument?
Success on an instrument starts with preparation. The Music Makers at Home and Around the World curricula lay the foundation for tonal accuracy, beat competency, motor readiness, and note reading. We teach young children to audiate, that is, to hear the notation in their heads. In this way we teach music, not only operating the piano. At around age 6, when fine motor skills are starting to develop, the children can bring this wealth of musical experience to their instrument with confidence. Most importantly, learning in a way that engages with the natural motivation of your child fosters a love and a passion for music making. What a powerful gift!
That's not all:
Did you know that, in addition to musical skills, your child will be practicing key areas of development for this age?
The musical activities your child enjoys also help to build impulse control, inner speech, self soothing strategies, pre-reading skills, pre-writing skills, balance, and motor skills. The important rhythmic and movement activities actually prepare the brain to learn; all while experiencing the joy of making music with friends.
What does this look like in class?
In class, we sing songs that delve imaginatively into the thematic material for the session, whether exploring various natural habitats for the first year or diverse world cultures for the second year. We tell stories based in the theme often with responses and movement from the children. Listening examples introduce instruments from the orchestra and we, in turn, explore the instruments we use in class as well. Step by step we build ensembles, inviting the children to make their own music. They love recording it and listen intently when it's played back. Through this process we introduce graphic notation and eventually traditional notation patterns. The children delight in the games that we play with the notation cards, identifying, matching, and composing while they gain the confidence that they are reading music!
The activities in class and at home are supported by the beautiful materials for each session including a CD, poster/folder with game pieces and notation cards. Parents join for the last 15 minutes and are encouraged to continue the joyful music making at home.
We look forward to a wonderful fall season of musical adventures.

I thought it would be fun to share what products I keep in my makeup bag today. These are the products that I use on a pretty much daily basis right now.
Let's start with my makeup bag. Bethany actually made it, and it is absolutely perfect! Most makeup bags are too small for all the stuff I like to keep in them, but this one holds all of my essentials.
On to the products!
I keep three brushes in my makeup bag: the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush, and blush and brow brushes from EcoTools.
Skinwise, I have my current favorite foundation- Clinque's Superbalanced Makeup. I also keep the NYC Smooth Skin bronzer, and my favorite blush from Kat-Von-D in the shade Por Vida.
For my lips, I have Smith's Rosebud Salve, a holy grail product of mine, a balm from Whole Foods, and my YSL lipstick in Opera Rose.
I keep several eye products in my bag, including a Color Tattoo in the shade Barely Branded, my liquid liner from L'Oreal, and L'Oreal's Butterfly mascara, my current favorite. I also have a brow pencil from Merle Norman.
Two mini fragrances also have a home in my bag. Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel is my favorite perfume, so I like to have the roller version with me. I also have an adorable mini bottle of See by Chloe for when I'm in the mood for something different.
I hope you enjoyed this peek at the products I use everyday!
What are some of the products in your makeup bag?

President Trump has attempted to realign the courts around the Constitution after decades of judges who adhered to a "judicial activism" approach. In his first 200 days, President Trump appointed more judges than either President Obama, Bush, or Clinton did in that time period. Although President Trump has been effective in appointing qualified and respected candidates, the Senate has been agonizingly slow to confirm these judges.
Appointed over three months ago, three nominees have yet to even receive a hearing due to senators refusing to hand in their "blue slips." This process enables senators to obstruct and play politics rather than doing their jobs in an already slow-moving Congress. A quick look at these nominees show there is no reason for Democrats to continue preventing these nominees from serving on the federal bench.
Allison Eid
Raised by a single mother in Spokane, Washington, Allison Eid has risen from modest means to become one of the most prominent legal scholars and judges in Colorado. Eid's determination and work ethic led her to attend Stanford University and the University of Chicago Law School. After clerkships with the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals and Associate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Eid moved to Colorado to practice law.
After a brief stint in private practice, Eid became a tenured professor at the University of Colorado Law School and was subsequently appointed the state's solicitor general. One year later, she became a member of the Colorado Supreme Court. A former colleague stated that this impressive resume isn't the only factor making her a great nominee for the Tenth Circuit:
"Her experiences and her character are what set her apart. The challenges she faced — particularly in her childhood — forged an unsurpassed work ethic and sense of empathy. Eid commits her full mental energy and attention to each case, carefully mastering every legal and factual detail in order to conduct a rigorous analysis dictated ultimately by the law."
Stephanos Bibas
As one of the country's top criminal-law scholars, Stephanos Bibas will bring a superb legal insight to the federal bench. Bibas' education is second to none. Graduating from Columbia University at the age of 19, Bibas went on to receive a Master's Degree at Oxford University and law degree from Yale Law School – where he was editor of the Yale Law Journal.
Equally impressive as his education, Bibas' career is highlighted by his criminal justice scholarship and six appearances before the Supreme Court. Bibas' academic work has also influenced the Supreme Court and was cited by Justice Scalia in the majority opinion of Blakely v. Washington – which reaffirmed citizens' due process rights.
121 law professors from around the country wrote to the Senate judiciary committee urging his confirmation to the Third Circuit. One of his colleagues stated Bibas' approach that he would bring to the bench:
"He is not dogmatic; he is committed to evidence, facts, and logic. He is deeply invested in collegiality, and he values diverse perspectives. He has intellectual and personal qualities—integrity, compassion, and diligence—we should hope for in our federal judges."
David Stras
The support across the political spectrum for Minnesota Supreme Court Justice David Stras is near deafening. Championing Stras' apolitical approach to deciding a case, over 100 Minnesota lawyers and 6 former Minnesota Supreme Court Justices declared that Stras is, "not only a top-notch jurist, but as a judge who decides cases without regard to political affiliation or party lines."
Upon graduating from the University of Kansas School of Law, Stras clerked for judges from the 4th and 9th Circuit Courts, as well as clerking for Associate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. After these impressive clerkships, Stras became a law professor at the University of Minnesota. His academic work appeared in multiple prominent academic journals and he also received the Stanely V. Kinyon Tenure Track Teacher of the Year.
Justice David Stras would be great addition to the Eight Circuit. In addition to the broad support and impeccable background, Stras' judicial philosophy reflects the Founding Fathers' belief of what a judge should be. Stras states:
"I remain mindful that the role of a judge is a limited one, and that judges can't solve every problem. But at the same time, judges play a crucial role in safeguarding liberty and protecting the rights of all citizens."
These nominees are clearly qualified and fit to serve on the federal bench, but senators are playing political games with their confirmations. If certain senators are not willing to put partisan politics aside, then the Senate needs to do what's best for all Americans – eliminate the blue slip process.
Preventing these qualified nominees from serving on the federal bench is not only doing a disservice to their constituents, but those who sacrificed to protect this country and the liberties enshrined in the Constitution.
Tell your senator to take a stand against obstruction and abandon the blue-slips here.

the guy from virgin school
is on this morning. He is hilarious.
Just letting you know.
has he fallen into
a pit of depression because hes not different to everyone esle anymore, hes just some guy thats had sex (and wears two pairs of pants) TV sucks you in then spits you out, not caring what kind of trail of destruction it leaves behind. or is he ok?
why the 2 pairs of pants though?
i mean, seriously?!
double protection from girls
So, theres a difference between
making jokes about gay people and people who are still virgins?
dont you think
losing your virginity for a tv programme would suck pretty hard? i know i wouldnt want to do it.
couldnt suck
very hard?
but there's a difference between making of gay people and making fun of men in their mid 30s who wear double pants and iron maiden t-shirts who still live at their parents places and have cardboard standies of sarah-michelle-geller-as-buffy in their bedrooms.
I really need to get rid of my Buffy cardboard cut-ouyt
My brother gave me it a couple of years back (along with a signed buffy poster).
Annoyingly 'cos I don't really go in for decorating rooms, these are the only 2 posters etc. in my bedroom.
It's not a good look.
There's a clear difference
Being a virgin on some level constitutes a choice and is a transitory state which anybody could theoretically solve. The same isn't true of homosexuality.
That's not to say it's acceptable to take the piss out of someone for being a virgin, and it's something some would be very sensitive about.
But it's definitely a different thing to homophobic abuse (even if it is sometimes perpetrated by the same pseudo-macho twats).
signed buffy poster????????
????!!!!???? sweet. hang on....ahhh, explains a lot (about me)

A soft and quick-drying skirt.
The Carve Designs Women's Seaside Skirt dries in a flash so you can wear it over your wet bikini bottom and then over your dry skivvies not have tell-tale cheek prints following you by the time you reach the store. This semi-fitted skirt flutters in the wind, and the fold-over waistband makes it easy to wear with a fitted tank when you're having dinner at a beach-side bistro.
- Nylon and elastane blend
- Pull-on style
- Fold-over waistband
- Hits above the knee
- Reviews
For SUP and roadie spandex cover-up
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought: XL
Bought this for SUP or raft days on the river, and have also used it as a cover up for the spandex en-route to road cycling when I'm not riding from my house and might make a coffee stop along the way. For water adventures I love that it's the same material as my swimsuit. And the fit is quite flattering.
Hiking skirt
I am using this skirt for hiking. It's working out very well so far. It's extremely comfortable. It dries quickly. It looks good. I don't have any friction or discomfort where the pack hip belt contacts the skirt. I will be using this on a 221 mile hike in sept. This skirt suited my needs better than specific hiking skirts.
I'm going to try out skirts for hiking this year! It seems so awesome! Thank you so much for your feedback on this! I hope you've had another awesome hike since then : )
Model Photo
Blackberry/Tulum color on model.
Fresh skirt for summer
I have had this one for a while now, and still love it. You will be surprised how soft the material is as well as fresh. I am 5'3'' and the small worked great for me.
Seriously adorable skirt
it's made out of the same swim fabric as Carve's suits, so it's super soft, doesn't stretch, and works with my Carve swimwear! In Costa Rica, I wore this in lieu of board shorts around town and on the beach. Breezy and Comfy!

Swiffer wants to know: "Is that a mirage, or a man doing housework?"
Saints be praised, it is a man doing housework! Who knew it was possible for a MAN to HELP around the house? Oh, where are my smelling salts??
If you know me, you know I hate men-bashing commercials. And men-bashing tv shows (which, unfortunately, is just about all of them). And that stupid Carrie Underwood song where she sings about vandalizing her boyfriend's car after he cheats on her. (Imagine a man singing a song about slashing the tires and bashing in the headlights on his cheating girlfriend's car. Yep, domestic violence gives you such warm fuzzies, doesn't it?) Not to mention companies that portray men as such brainless, helpless idiots that they would ingest dog treats when famished (Pepto Bismol, I'm talking to you).
I like Swiffer products, I really do. But I can't stand the implication that a man doing housework is such a rare event that it would be considered newsworthy. I realize my husband is a bit cleaner than the average Joe... All right, all right, I think he would follow the average Joe around with a bottle of Lysol (he actually says things on regular basis like, "The baseboards really need to be cleaned" -- which is good because it means he notices such things. It is also bad because it means he notices such things). But, there is not a single husband among the hundreds I've met who has not been willing to help with the upkeep of his own house. Not one. So why do we treat it like such an anomaly?
Even in the case of husbands who don't voluntarily leap to use the toilet brush on a regular basis, why can we not stretch our self-focused little minds to consider that going to work every day actually is helping around the house? (You know, by earning the money that keeps the lights on and food on the table?) Yes, I think we can all agree that men should roll up their sleeves and give their wives a hand at home. But their wives should ditch the petty score-keeping and appreciate the contributions their husbands are making to the home.
Couples who are true equals recognize that they are a team working toward the common goal of raising a family. Therefore, it doesn't matter who changes the most diapers or who does the most dishes any more than it matters who earns the most money or turns in the most quarterly reports. What matters is that both partners are willing to do what is necessary to take care of the family.
Sometimes that means dusting and sometimes it doesn't. But it always means treating your spouse with respect.
For the record, Swiffer, that's R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
Let's stop and have some.

This review represents my own thoughts, views and understanding of how Digital Altitude operate when I fantasised climbing their money mountain to earn the highly inflated earnings documented in their brochure.
Digital Altitude – I Dreamed and Joined
Name: Digital Altitude
Website: www.digitalaltitude.co
Price To Join: $1 + Plenty of Upsells
Owner: Michael Force
Is It A Scam? Depends what YOU think
What is this DA product all about?
Digital Altitude is purely a MLM scheme where members enrol and earn revenue by enrolling other members into their fold.
Michael Force is the Founder of DA, setting this company up after the demise of Empower Network, to which he was a top performer with. Empower was described by many as a pyramid scheme which imploded resulting in members losing significant amounts of money.
There's no doubt about the internet marketing skills the former U.S. Marine Michael Force beholds, seen as an internet guru across the world, a sell-out speaker for many venues regarding internet marketing and a family man at heart. His life story is well documented throughout his promotional video, the slickest most professionally created video designed to lure money dreamers into his fold.
When a client enrolls as a member with DA they become an Affiliate. This Affiliate role is easy to describe albeit a complex earning structure but implementing one's own powerful network is another thing altogether.
Each Affiliate creates their own network by enrolling new members. Every time a new member joins, commissions start to be earned but you have to be one heck of a good internet marketeer, an internet guru yourself to increase your own network and emulate the earning figures their brochure describes.
Who's this role intended for?
The program is purely designed to lure money dreamers into the DA flock, those people who want to earn vast amounts of wonga, I was attracted into their community through their powerful promotional video, dreaming one day…………….
WA are quite clear what type of people they are looking for to join and help make a fortune: Moms, Dads, High School graduates, College dropouts, Waitresses, etc. But their brochure clearly states their program is NOT designed for Business people – Why?
If you enjoy networking on Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, Snapchat and other Social Media platforms and relish taking your networking skills to a whole new level you may be tempted to get involved.
When I first rolled through their doors I was presented with a Coach, Ash who created positive thinking podcasts. A nice guy who briefly explained the Affiliate role. When I cut to the chase and asked the most efficient way to target potential dreamers, an explanation of mass Social Media networking and advertising through Facebook seemed to be their top priority marketing skills to become successful.
I spent two weeks to make the most of my $1 start-up fee before the monthly membership fee materialised. This is a mindset course intended for positive thinking proclaiming YOU can do this. All I watched were well presented videos of Michael Force describe the role very briefly concentrating mainly on what car I will be buying in the future, what style of home I will be able to purchase and where's best to invest and hide all the money I will soon be earning. To be honest, this did put me off.
How does this DA Program work?
This program rolls through an MLM scheme where earnings are simply derived from your downline – You earn commissions from people who you enroll and others they enroll into the DA membership. This is my understanding how it works:
Each member climbs the DA money mountain in these stages:
- Aspire
- Base
- Rise
- Ascend
- Peak
- Apex
Each stage is split up into 3 separate Tiers. These are the people you and your downline enroll. You earn a different % of commissions dependant on what Tier you and your downline is on.
Tier 1: is the people you enroll, Tier 2: is the people Tier 1 enrolls and Tier 3: is the people Tier 2 enrolls. Once you climb up the Tiers your % of commissions increase:
- Tier 1: Earnings = 40%
- Tier 2: Earnings = 50%
- Tier 3: Earnings = 60%
Cost of DA and their payment structure
When you join Aspire a monthly membership payment is required in order to receive commissions from your downline and the % of commissions increase as you and your downline climb the Tiers:
- Tier 1: Costs $37 month – Earnings = 40%
- Tier 2: Costs $67 month – Earnings = 50%
- Tier 3: Costs $127 month – Earnings = 60%
All the stages have to be purchased in order to earn commissions from your downline reaching these stages, for example:
To receive commissions from your downline purchasing Base, it's imperative you purchase Base to entitle yourself as a Base member, your commissions will be passed to your upline if you fail to purchase each stage.
Yep, it's all designed to keep you spending as you climb the money mountain to keep your commissions rolling in. The separate stages cost:
- Aspire – $127 month on-going for Tier 3
- Base – $597 One time payment
- Rise – $1,997 One time payment
- Ascend – $9,997 One time payment
- Peak – $16,997 One time payment
- Apex – $27,997 One time payment
A lot of money – Hey?
The % in the tiers are paid to you when your downline reach and purchase each stage of the mountain, as long as you have purchased that particular stage.
You should see the earning potential once you reach Apex, a phenomenal figure is represented in their brochure but this earning potential estimates you will have 5,000 people in your downline once you reach Tier 3 on Apex. Quite honestly, this is one mighty fine dream for me.
You are wholly dependant on your downlines results here and this did put me off.
Tools, Training and Support
You seem to be supported exceptionally well but I never walked through Aspire's doors to find out more. What I do understand however, each stage is split up into training modules which are video based, taught by Michael Force and his team of players. It's a case of working your way through each stage of the training modules climbing your way up the money mountain.
I did become a member of their Facebook group where questions and answers are provided by the community, so they do support outside of their platform too.
My short amount of training briefly touched on networking within Facebook, creating promotional DA videos on YouTube and advertising through Social Media, an enticement learning program designed to attract the utopian fantasist.
In among their training modules are add on products which they expect you to purchase to accomplish success. These create more income streams as you receive commissions from purchases in your downline.
These add on products are basically additional upsells which include Basic, intermediate to Experienced courses on:
- Branding and Social
- Content and Blog
- Traffic and Funnel
Digital Altitude boast 48 add-on products resulting in 60 potential income streams.
You are also entitled for the company to close potential sales on your behalf but they take a cut from the commissions you receive – Kind !
So hats off to support here but it will cost you !
Pros and Cons of Digital Altitude
- Excellent Training
- Well Supported
- Slickest introductory video on the web
- Highly impressive website platform
- Reach Apex – Congratulations
- How deep are your advertising pockets?
- Each stage must be purchased in order to receive commissions from your downline reaching that particular stage
- Suitable for an experienced networker
- You are only selling pipe-dreams
- Far too many add-ons / Upsells
- Expensive to purchase each stage
- Wholly reliant upon how your downline performs
- Their brochure earnings figures are way too inflated in my view
Final Verdict
Ok, Michael Force is probably one of the most experienced marketeers on the web and he is teaching the successful route to success if you have the determination to aspire but you are wholly dependant to how your downline performs as these people are paying your commissions. I therefore do not consider this a scam but is it a fair opportunity for the inexperienced?
Personally, I wasn't happy with the thought of luring inexperienced dreamers into a business. The thought of the unanswerable question – how deep do my pockets have to be for advertising frightened me. The cost of all the stages and add-on products essential to be purchased to achieve commissions certainly put me off.
Another concern is the crackdown Google placed on companies such as Empower Network as they were found to be supporting 'Get Rich Quick' schemes, resulting in de-ranking them leading to members losing substantially. Empower seemed to have remodelled yet Pinterest has already cracked down on affiliate links, will other Social Media platforms follow and how will the future determine this type of advertising?
There are people making money, their Facebook page predominantly advertises these individuals yet the role does require a thick skinned natural ability to coax inexperienced fantasists whilst relying on their ability to earn revenue.
Not for me! I think the only way forward to run an online business is to have a website delivering high quality content rather than leading dreamers to capture pages.
What about you?
How about this:
- Expert training on how to legitimately run an online business
- How to build a website around your niche
- How to promote your niche effectively on the web
- Earn revenue genuinely through your website
- Help and Support every step of the way
- Over 600,000 members and counting
- 98% Positive Review Rate

Soybean prices are trying to reverse higher this morning, on the heels of data suggesting demand is still strong for tightening old crop supplies.
The May crush report from the National Oilseed Processors Association showed 138.3 million bushels run through plants last month, beating trade guesses. Our projections show the figure keeps crush on track to meet USDA's latest forecast for the marketing year, which was raised in Tuesday's crop report to 1.66 billion bushels.
The government also boosted its outlook on exports, which was confirmed by this morning weekly totals as well. Total old and new crop sales came in at 36.9 million bushels, well above the number traders were looking for. Old crop business accounted for 15.6 million bushels of the total. That takes total commitments for the marketing year to 1.352 billion bushels, above USDA's latest forecast of 1.35 billion.
After a slow-down in May, Chinese demand for soybeans from the U.S. is brisk, thanks to low availability of supplies from drought-stricken South America. China bought 27 million bushels total this week.
Wheat demand was also better than expected at 15.9 million bushels. While that's a little below the weekly rate forecast by USDA for the marketing year, it's in line with average for this early in the season. USDA this morning also announced the sale of 3.7 million bushels of soft red winter wheat to China, under its separate daily reporting system for large purchases. China always imports some high quality wheat it can't produce locally, and that business is expected to be better this year due to poor growing conditions.
Wheat prices were also moving higher on the export news.
Corn prices continued to rally this morning, with July back above $6, but the cause certainly wasn't the weekly export sales total. In fact, sales were a marketing year low, just 6.7 million bushels, with old crop accounting for about half the amount. The weak trend of late supports USDA's decision on Tuesday to lower its projected total for the 2011 crop marketing year that ends Aug. 31.
CIF basis at the Gulf was up six cents yesterday to a four-week high, as even the few exporters who want corn are having to bid up the price to compete against ethanol plants, where production is up despite higher costs. USDA raised its forecast of corn used for ethanol to 5.05 billion bushels, offsetting the drop in exports.
