Nitish Kumar will be sworn in as Bihar CM once the Grand Alliance formally elects him as its leader after Diwali. It is learnt that the Alliance will stick to the 4:4:2 seat-sharing formula between RJD, JD (U) and Congress for ministry distribution.
Sources said RJD may press for the Deputy CM's post, for which names of Lalu Prasad's eldest daughter Misa Bharati and former leader of Opposition Abdul Bari Siddiqui have been doing the rounds. Though Misa is not a legislator, she could enter the Legislative Council on the seat vacated by Lalu's personal assistant Bhola Yadav, now an MLA. There are high chances of one of Lalu Prasad's sons — Tej Pratap who won from Mahua and Tejaswi who won from Raghopur — becoming a minister in the Nitish Kumar government.

"It is a tough call for even the RJD chief to decide who among his two sons would be a minister. There are little chances of both becoming ministers as it would send a wrong message", said a source.

Though there are a maximum of 36 ministerial berths including the CM, 8 to 10 positions would be left vacant for expansion. JD (U) would have some fresh inclusions in the ministry as three of its former ministers, including veteran Ramai Ram, lost the election.
Congress, which bagged 27 seats in the Bihar polls, is likely to join the Nitish Kumar government, cementing the party's ties with the JD(U). "We have given commitment to the people of Bihar about the implementation of the seven point programme. We will consider all these aspects," Congress general secretary in charge of Bihar C P Joshi said. Sources said the party was open to the idea of joining the government.
From the Congress camp, potential ministerial candidates include Ashok Kumar Choudhary, Sadanand Singh, Awadhesh Kumar Singh, Shakil Ahmed Khan and Mohammed Javed.
A JD (U) source said the oath-taking ceremony was likely to take place in Gandhi Maidan to accommodate a large number of invitees. While there is no confirmation yet, Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav is expected to attend the ceremony. Invitations for the ceremony are being sent to several CMs, including West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik.
Meanwhile, Lalu's Patna residence was swarmed on Monday by visitors eager to congratulate him on the Assembly poll victory. Prashant Kishor, JD(U)'s campaign manager for the Bihar polls, was seen talking to Lalu at the latter's residence. Kishor refused to comment when asked about his role in grand victory. He, however, thanked the people of Bihar for the mandate.
"Kishor hit the bullseye by predicting 180 seats, just two more than the actual tally," said a JD(U) leader. He added that Kishor had also managed Lalu's poll campaigns after the latter approached him.
Nitish, on his part, met selective visitors including BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha.

President Hassan Rouhani said the talks with the major powers on Iran's nuclear program are making progress, emphasizing that reaching a final deal to resolve the long-running nuclear dispute would benefit the international community.
He made the remarks on Tuesday morning at Mehrabad International Airport before departing for Indonesia to take part in the summit of African and Asian heads of state that is held as part of the 60th commemoration ceremony of the 1955 Asian-African Conference, also known as Bandung Conference, which started in the Indonesian cities of Jakarta and Bandung on Sunday and runs until April 24.
"We are pursuing the negotiations with serious resolve, and we hope that the other side shows the same determination so that a deal can be finalized in the next two months," he said.
The deal will create "an atmosphere for cooperation among Iran and other countries in the region and Asia and will in fact benefit everyone," he stated.
Rouhani underlined the significance of closer relations with other nations, especially neighboring states and Asian countries, saying to this end, "we also need to attract (more foreign) investment and technology."
Touching on regional developments, the president said the region is currently faced with violence, terrorism and civil wars as a result of the actions of some "irresponsible states whose stance is consistent with neither Islamic nor international rules."
Noting that destruction of a country's infrastructures and killing of innocent citizens will yield no positive results, he called on the international community to denounce such moves, referring to the Saudi-led air campaign in Yemen.
"The Yemeni people have a rich history which is cited in the holy Quran," he said, adding that the nation is a civilized but poor one and does not deserve to be bombed.
Rouhani expressed hope that in his trip to Indonesia he would be able to hold talks with world leaders about efforts to help establish peace and stability in Yemen as well as in the whole region by combating terrorism.
***Bandung Conference
Bandung Conference 2015 celebrates the 60th anniversary of the South-South cooperation established in 1995 by participation of 29 states in Bandung which set the stage for the establishment of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), said the president.
Rouhani's visit to Jakarta is made at the invitation of his Indonesian counterpart Joko Widodo.
"Iran has regularly participated in the conference since its inception 60 years ago," said Rouhani, who is participating in the event also as the current president of NAM.
He is scheduled to address the conference on Wednesday, which is the first day of the summit. On the sidelines of the meeting, he will also hold separate meetings with some heads of states and Indonesian intellectuals, university lecturers as well as entrepreneurs and businessmen.
*** Major Challenges
At the ministerial meeting of the conference which was held in Jakarta on Monday, Deputy Foreign Minister for Asian and Pacific Affairs Ebrahim Rahimpour called for enhanced cooperation among countries and stressed the need to promote such attitudes as patience, pluralism, tolerance and respecting opinions of others.
Praising the Indonesian initiative to hold the conference, he referred to the challenges Asian and African countries face, including poverty, injustice, negative effects of economic crises, and developed nations' ignorance of developing countries' will when making global-level decisions.
The conference is expected to issue three statements, including a statement about the development of South-South cooperation, one on New Asian-African Strategic Partnership (NAASP), and another one which is dedicated to reiterating support for Palestine's independence.
In the summit, representatives from Asia and Africa will discuss ways to enhance cooperation on promoting peace and prosperity across the world.

Nashville Symphony Association (Nashville, TN)
As one of the most active recording orchestras in the country, the Nashville Symphony has utilized recordings as a means to reach broader audiences and fulfill its mission—to perform and present the highest quality music, with a focus on the creation, promotion, and preservation of American repertoire.
In September 2006 the Nashville Symphony marked its inaugural season in its new home, the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, by launching American Encores, an initiative that integrates work by American composers that is largely neglected or rarely performed as part of each classical subscription concert. In 2007 this program expanded through an NEA Arts on Radio and Television grant of $10,000 to include 13 one-hour radio programs featuring composers included in the American Encores program.
The radio program, also called American Encores, is hosted by renowned conductor and Nashville symphony music advisor Leonard Slatkin with co-host and Nashville composer and bassist Edgar Meyer, and includes both performances by Nashville Symphony and interviews with composers, conductors, guest artists, musicologists, and audience members.
The Nashville Symphony chose works to be a part of the American Encores initiative by looking for pieces that deserve repeated hearings, whether for their unique instrumentation, compositional techniques, or ability to attract a younger audience. For 2007-2008, featured pieces included Jubilee: A Tennessee Quilting Party for Orchestras by Kenneth Schermerhorn, former Nashville Symphony music director and principal conductor, and Joan Tower's Chamber Dance, as well as two co-commissions by the Nashville Symphony: Philip Glass's The Passion of Ramakrisna and Michael Daugherty's Deus ex Machina. Ninety-two markets picked up the series, reaching approximately 2.6 million listeners.
In addition to the broadcast of the one-hour shows on the radio, the Nashville Symphony also created companion podcasts for each episode of American Encores. The 15-minute segments included additional commentary, interviews, and music, and could be downloaded through the Nashville Symphony's Web site. Because of the symphony's efforts, you no longer need a ticket to hear a rare performance of works by America's greatest contemporary composers.

Consumer Advisory: A dry winter means high fire danger
Division of Insurance cautions Coloradans on how to prepare for wildfire season.
DENVER (April 3, 2018) – Dry, yellow grass. Trees and bushes dehydrated and brittle. All of it potential tinder for a wildfire.
You've probably noticed it's been a dry winter throughout much of Colorado. That will translate into an increased danger of wildfires around the state, which means more Colorado homes could be threatened.
With fires, most people think of their homeowners insurance. While insurance is there to provide financial security for your family, fire prevention and the prevention of damage to your home should be your top priority. And that prevention is mitigation.
"As wildfires are more common in Colorado, almost all insurance companies are requiring homeowners who live in wildfire areas to mitigate the fire hazards on their property," said Bobbie Baca, Director of Consumer Services for Property and Casualty Insurance for the Division of Insurance. "It's a proven method for reducing the risk to these homes."
"With state fire officials warning that Colorado is experiencing its third driest winter on record — after 2002 and 2012, both devastating wildfire seasons — NOW is the time to take steps to protect your property and finances against fire risk," warns Carole Walker, Executive Director of the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association. "Being insurance ready includes talking to your insurance professional about what your insurance covers and what mitigation is needed on your home."
The Division of Insurance wants homeowners living in areas prone to wildfires to contact their local office of the Colorado State Forest Service. The local office can provide wildfire mitigation information particular to the area, and, if necessary, connect people to their local fire department. Find a list of the Forest Service local offices at their website - csfs.colostate.edu/areas.
Many Coloradans may not need special insurance for wildfires because this type of disaster is covered under the fire damage provisions of a basic homeowners policy. However, a common complaint after a disaster like a wildfire is that people didn't have the right kind of insurance or enough of it. The insurance coverage you need depends upon many factors, including the type of home or building you own, its contents, and whether you have a home-based business.
"It's critical that you understand your current homeowners policy and that it is up-to-date and is the appropriate coverage for your home," said Tracy Garceau, lead analyst for the property and casualty section of the Division's Consumer Services section. "If you have coverage that provides replacement costs, you'll want to make sure that it actually covers the costs of rebuilding. Homeowners may want to consider purchasing extended replacement cost and/or ordinance and law coverage, which protect people in situations where the cost to rebuild exceeds replacement cost coverage. Ultimately, you'll want to contact your agent or company to review and ask questions about your policy."
"People should also be aware of the additional living expenses - or A.L.E.- provided in their policies," added Garceau. "Companies typically include 12 months of A.L.E. in their policies, but people have the option to purchase 24 months of coverage. If your home is damaged and uninhabitable, A.L.E. pays those expenses which are over and above your normal costs. For example, you would continue to pay your mortgage, but the company would pay to rent a similar home while you were displaced."
Below is a list of mitigation tips you can take in preparation for the dry summer months ahead, as well as information on what to know about your homeowners insurance policy.
- Use fire-resistant materials in the structure of your home, especially the roof, which is most vulnerable.
- Clear a safety zone around your home and remove trees, leaves, brush and pine needles. Create a zone of at least 100 feet, but know that 200 – 500 feet is often recommended. Also remove overhanging tree branches near your home.
- Be sure propane or fuel tanks are at least 30 feet away from all structures.
- Keep the smoke detectors and fire extinguishers inside your home working properly.
- If you do not have access to a community water system or water hydrant, get a water storage tank. Make sure your garden hoses reach all areas of the property, and keep them visible and in accessible areas.
- Be sure your entrance road is accessible. Inaccessible roads can prevent fire-fighting equipment from reaching your home quickly. The street address should be easily visible from the entrance to the property so emergency responders are not delayed.
Reviewing your policy and creating a home inventory.
- Understand your policy type - Actual cash value (ACV) policies cover only what the property is worth at the time it is damaged, minus the deductible. Replacement cost policies initially pay the ACV, minus the deductible, but once the property is replaced, will also pay the difference between the actual cash value and the replacement cost. Your policy should also take into account the cost of cleanup, especially after a wildfire.
- Coverage limits need to keep up - Review your policy and coverage limits annually to make sure it keeps pace with construction costs.
- Update - Keep your insurance agent or company updated on any changes to your home that will impact the coverage.
- Home inventory - You need a home inventory, as only an owner knows what's been lost as a result of a fire, theft or other damages. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), offers a home inventory app – MyHome Scr.APP.book. It helps in identifying losses after a disaster, and can also help you determine how much homeowners insurance you need. The app is available from iTunes and Android. You can also use a downloadable paper inventory to get started.

A common drug that is used to cure mild allergies is cetirizine. It is an anti-histaminic drug that is meant to alleviate an allergic reaction such as itchiness, watery eyes; sneezing etc. These are common allergy symptoms that are caused when the histamine levels in the body increase drastically. High histamine action in the body can be countered by the use of anti-histamine drugs like Zyrtec hydrochloride tablets. It is also effective in the treatment of the Rhinovirus disease. The medication is effective in clearing the airway and facilitating ease of breathing. There have also been benefits noted in the treatment of Kimura's disease as well.
Using cetirizine
Using Cetcip 10mg allergy relief tablets for allergy treatment is quite a common practice amongst many. The most common practice is to buy the cetirizine tablets in 5mg or 10mg capacities and ingesting them orally. There are chewable tablets that are available. These need to be chewed properly and then swallowed for the desired results. You can also buy cetirizine hydrochloride 10mg tablets that are fast dissolving. These can be had with or without water. Whichever be the case, you need to be careful that you let the tablet dissolve completely in your mouth before you swallow it. There are certain factors, which you should keep in mind before you start consuming these anti-histamines. There is a certain dosage level of the medication that should be strictly adhered to. These dosage levels are determined by your age, height, and weight. It is advisable that you consult a doctor before you start using the medication as not all people are physiologically adjusted to taking cetirizine.
Facts to keep in mind
Always ensure that you are not allergic to cetirizine. This is of utmost importance as consuming the medication in such a scenario will only aggravate your allergies. There is also the fact that anti-histamine like Cetcip has the capability of dulling your reflexes as it counters the excessive histamine production in the body. Therefore, be very careful about consuming the drug before you being involved in any activity that requires a lot of careful attention, such as driving. Alcohol should be refrained from while using this medication. Cetirizine is a drug that is not meant for full-blown allergies as it is a milder version of anti-histamine. So, be very careful as this drug may not be as effective against hives or other more serious allergic reactions that you may suffer from. It should also be avoided during pregnancy and while breastfeeding a baby as the drug may have adverse effects on an infant.
Availing the medicine
Cetcip is a highly effective drug in treating an allergy on a primary basis. Being a commonly used drug that is self-administered most rampantly, it is very easily available for purchase. You can easily buy generic cetirizine 5mg online. Any online store is the best and cheapest place to buy cetcip as you can avail great discounts on these sites. Availability and authenticity of the drugs on these sites are never a concern as these are approved by the required authorities. It is the age of online marketplaces and the pharmaceutical sector is no way lagging in this field. There are many online pharmacies that you can choose to buy your medicines from easily. The cheapest place to buy cetirizine from 2medicure.com where the medicine is easily available at low rates.

CSULB's Parking and Transportation Services has announced the return of the popular U-PASS program in partnership with Long Beach Transit (LBT). Through Dec. 23, all CSULB students, faculty and staff with a valid ID card will have access to any LBT bus or Passport for free rides throughout the campus and city. The program will also be in effect during the spring semester from Jan. 24-May 27.
"We are excited to have been able to continue the program for next academic year," said Mark Rudometkin, CSULB's General Manager for Parking and Transportation Services. "The U-PASS has been a huge asset for the campus in enabling those who can use it to leave their vehicles at home and opening up spaces on the campus for those who need their vehicle for the commute to the university. We thank Long Beach Transit for making the efforts to come up with a program that will service the campus during the peak fall and spring semesters."
The U-PASS Program, unveiled in 2008, saw CSULB pay an annual contract amount to allow current students, faculty and staff to ride all Long Beach Transit buses for free. Simply by swiping their CSULB identification card through the farebox, university customers can not only access the more than 30 bus stops on and around the CSULB campus, but have better mobility throughout the City of Long Beach.
"We are thrilled to continue our partnership with CSULB for the upcoming school year," said Larry Jackson, President and CEO of Long Beach Transit. "We have had tremendously positive feedback from students and staff, and are looking forward to another year of helping our university customers get wherever they need to go."
Long Beach Transit serves more than 29 million boarding customers in Long Beach, Lakewood and Signal Hill—as well as portions of Artesia, Bellflower, Carson, Cerritos, Compton, Hawaiian Gardens, Norwalk, Paramount and Seal Beach—with regular bus and shuttle services including the Passport, AquaBus, and AquaLink.
If you have any questions regarding the U-PASS please visit the Parking, Transportation and Event Services Web site. For information on schedules and bus routes visit the Long Beach Transit Web site at www.lbtransit.com.

Suhrawardy's 55th death anniversary today
The 55th death anniversary of the champion of democracy and one of the greatest leaders of undivided India Hussain Shaheed Suhrawardy is being observed in the country today in a befitting manner.
The unparallel leader of all Indian politics, who had dedicated his entire life to ensure the welfare of the people by upholding democracy, died at a Beirut hotel in Lebanon on December 5 in 1963. He was alone in the hotel suite at the time of his death.
Suhrawardy was a Bengali politician and statesman in the first half of the 20th century. He served as the Premier of Bengal in British India and was the fifth Prime Minister of Pakistan.
President M Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina paid their rich tributes to the memory of Suhrawardy on the occasion of his death anniversary.
In separate messages, the President and the Prime Minister prayed for eternal peace of the departed soul of Suhrawardy, terming him 'the champion of democracy'.
In his message, President Abdul Hamid said Suhrawardi's life and works inspire the future generations in democratic thinking and welfare of the people.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in her message, said Suhrawardi fought for establishing political rights and socio-economic development of the working people of the subcontinent throughout his life.
She also said that the country's great independence was achieved under the leadership of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the greatest Bengali of all time and the successor of Suhrawardy.
To mark the day, different political and socio-cultural organisations, including ruling Awami League, have chalked out various programmes including placing wreaths at the grave of the great leader in the morning, discussion meetings, Qurankhwani, milad and doa mahfil in the capital and elsewhere across the country.
Awami League (AL) is supposed to pay tribute to the late leader by placing wreaths at his grave adjacent to the High Court in the morning today. Fateha and doa will be offered there.
In a statement, AL General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader paid rich tribute to the late leader, saying that Suhrawardy had fought for establishing democracy throughout his life.
He urged the party leaders and workers and its associate bodies and other like-minded organisations to observe the death anniversary of Suhrawardy.
Hussain Shaheed Suhrawardy was born in a respected Muslim family at Medinipur in West Bengal, India on September 8 in 1892.

Any public relations practitioner in Arizona knows the importance of reaching out to the Hispanic population. Looks like Barack Obama's strategic PR/marketing/advertising camp knows too, given this recorded Barack spot en Espanol. Smart move, says this practitioner, who always considers the best Hispanic outreach opportunities available in all of her communications efforts.

It's like the saying goes: the only constant in life is change. And in terms of managing changes properly during the video production process, the first thing any video production company worth its salt should provide their clients is a schedule that defines the stages of the process, the milestones, deliverables and delivery dates.
That's the bare minimum.
We always do this and we always make clear that the client isn't there just to sign things off. They're a part of the creative team. It's a collaboration. Clients know their brand, their audience and their product, and we know how to get their message across in an animated explainer videos and video productions.
But having a good brief, and a clear process and production schedule is only half the story. To be an effective process, it needs to account for real life. And in real life things change from time to time for various reasons.
For us, managing a video production project, that means both the process and schedule need to allow for change and include room for manoeuvre. Not least because the words in the brief can be interpreted in many different ways.
Even if we have a perfect brief, a bullet-proof process and robust schedule, unexpected changes can still occur. That said, the type of changes clients typically ask about, before and during the project, usually fall into these four categories…
Sometimes, a client may insist on changing something, regardless of whether we agree with them or not. Sometimes they don't agree with the change either. Sometimes it comes from an authority in a different part of their business – the legal team for example – or perhaps an external regulator.
Either way, we view it as a natural part of creating animated explainer videos. We discuss the change and figure out what needs to happen next and the implications, especially if there's likely to be any additional cost or a change to the due date.
These kinds of changes rarely happen anyway, because we ask clients to share their insight and feedback at every stage of the process. And because each stage is reviewed and signed off before proceeding to the next one, we can move into each new stage with the confidence the client is happy with what has been done so far.
If you've chosen a video production agency with a strong creative process and who are skilled at asking the right questions to get to the core of what you want and what will work best for you, this is extremely unlikely.
We involve the client at every stage of the process, so any problems or changes are discussed and resolved before we proceed to the next stage. So, by the time we get to the animation stage (which is the most expensive stage to make a retrospective change to) they are already very happy with what they've seen and they know what to expect from the animation.
We do occasionally make one or two small changes at the animation stage, because sometimes you – and our animators – need to see something in motion before you can judge its appropriateness. But our team are highly skilled and have lots of experience, so they can anticipate how the vast majority of things will work in animation before they animate.
For animated explainer videos, the visual storyboard stage shows you precisely what your animation will look like, before anything's been animated.
And even at the final animation stage, we ask you to review it and provide feedback before signing it off. So the chances of you wanting a change at this stage is pretty much zero.
The short answer: as many as you like, and no, unless you want something changed after you've signed it off.
We don't put a limit on the number of changes you can make during the production process. What we want is to create something that will work best for you. And the only time we charge for a change is if you want to change something after you've signed it off, because it will involve additional work that wasn't part of the original brief or quoted for i.e. rewriting, redesigning or reanimating.
And if a change is requested after a stage has been signed off, we discuss it with you and agree what should happen next. Each stage feeds into the next, so in all likelihood the change will require extra work to be done that wasn't part of the agreed scope or budget. The best way to avoid this happening is to ensure senior people in your team are seeing the creative as the project progresses.
If a client asks for on a change that we don't think will work well for them, we discuss it and let them know why and what we think will work best for them. We give them options. Sometimes they ask us to carry out their change anyway, for a variety of reasons, but usually they go with our recommendation.
If your boss has been involved the whole way through, giving their input and approval then this is also extremely unlikely to happen.
But if your boss doesn't see the animation until the final stage then the risk of their not liking your video increases massively.
That's why we recommend your boss be involved at every stage, because any questions can be answered and any dislikes ironed out.
We recommend involving them right at the beginning, before things get to a stage where a lot of work has been done, by all parties, and it becomes harder to make large scale, complex or expensive changes.
Show them the script, the style check, voiceover and the visual storyboard. Ask for their feedback and ask us to present our work to them if you think it will help the process go smoother. Each stage is built on the stage that came before it, so getting their input as early as possible is invaluable and helps reduce the chance of problems further down the line.
At the visual storyboard stage, it's critical to convey that this is not an approximation of how your animation will look. It's exactly what it will look like.
But if your boss does still end up not liking the video, ask them to be explicit about what it is they don't like. Is it the whole thing or one aspect of it? Like a word, a sound effect, a colour, a shape, a movement?
And asking them to view the thing they dislike with respect to how it relates or affects their view of the overall piece can help add perspective. Sometimes a dislike isn't so important when it's viewed in wider context.
What now?
If you'd like to chat about a video project, our Video Guide is a good place to start. It will help you understand more about each step of the video production process and show you examples of visual styles, storyboards, lead times and prices.

One Single Impression -- If Only I Had Time
Time is not ours to have,
cannot be stilled;
grasping to hold,
clasping the past,
the moment is lost.
Our molecules flow
moment by moment,
bodies changing,
while the mind
steeped in illusion,
makes lists.
Instead, remember
how not to plan,
and find that place
where time is marked
by naught but tides.

So thought provoking, lovely. Like Sandy & FP, I love the concept of change in your poem but especially love the line "Time is not ours to have".
Thanks for your comments on my site - you captured my intent so clearly -- not what could be, but what cannot due to our human lifespan. I'm feeling very melancholy these days...

I can recall as a child how my daddy would come home from his shift job at 11PM and inform the family we were all going to get in the car and go visit his kin folks who lived in another state.
I learned very young that some of the best times in the world do not have to be planned.

Sue, this resonates with several chords of mine. First is our daughter, Karen the accountant (well now a 'financial analyst').
When she discovered the goodness of Santa she began making lists. All her life she has lived with lists. She may have one for things to do when she is dying. My favorite of hers is her list of places to go while she can travel.
That 'list' behavior was prevelant among a lot of my better accounting students (I taught law, not accounting).
Next, make it short, and last is the wonderful feeling of being retired. Now that I am retired I do live by the tides. And often I make my own tide sequence.
Thank you, I enjoyed this poem. I just need more time.

TITAN's story begins in 1902, with the operation of the first cement plant in Elefsina. Since then, TITAN has grown into an international, vertically integrated cement and building materials producer, combining an entrepreneurial spirit and operational excellence with respect for people, society and the environment.
For us in TITAN, evolution is a never-ending process. We keep developing products and services that meet our clients' needs, based on high quality, knowhow, reliability, responsibility and innovation.
We remain focused on the long-term sustainability of our business and build transparent relationships with our stakeholders that create shared value.
Explore our news and press releases, publications, photographs and videos about us and our activities.
Built on mutual trust, reliability, and shared values, our business is a place that enables people to develop, work together, create solutions and implement positive change.
TITAN's CEM II 42,5 N is a composite cement that completes the range of Portland cements. Its enhanced properties offer high levels of early strength which make it ideal for voluminous concreting and prefabrication work. ΤΙΤΑΝ CEM II 42,5 N has provided solutions in major construction projects in concrete, mortar and grout applications.
This is a Portland type cement with pozzolana/limestone. It contains pozzolana (a quarried volcanic material) and ground limestone so as to provide a more sustainable cement with the added benefit of enhanced performance characteristics.
We, in Titan, are committed to constant improvement in the areas of environmental protection and sustainability, particularly through the use of recycled content, reduced waste and improved energy efficiency.
In order to produce strong concrete using CEM II Portland cement, the mix's cement content must adhere to the ELOT EN 206 standard and the Concrete Technology Regulation 2016, which set out guidelines for the use of cement in concretes for various categories of exposure and adverse environmental conditions in order to achieve the planned longevity of the structure.
All typical concrete additives (e.g. plasticizers, air-entraining agents, retarders) can be used with our CEM II cement.
Our cements comply with the ELOT ΕΝ 197-1 harmonized European standard and are subject to third-party accreditation procedures by a notified EU body according to System 1+ for the Assessment & Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP).
The Declaration of Performance on the key attributes of the product and the CE Marking can be found here.
The CE Marking is placed on the packaging and/or the dispatch documents as per the Regulation for Construction Products.
Contact with wet cement, wet concrete or cement mix may cause irritation, dermatitis or serious alkali burns. The contact of cement dust with bodily fluids (e.g. sweat or eye moisture) may also cause irritation, dermatitis or burns. It entails a serious risk of eye damage. Wear suitable, impermeable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. In case of eye contact, rinse off immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice. After skin contact, wash off immediately with plenty of clean water. Keep out of reach of children. Contains chromium (VI). May cause allergic reactions, the risk of which is higher if the cement is used beyond the use-by date stated in the dispatch documents.

My home is a mess not because I don't care about it, but because I care too much... about everything. I'm like the absent-minded professor who gets so caught up in his thoughts and his work he forgets to get dressed before he goes out.
Let's just say that focusing is not my strong point - I either get overwhelmed and scattered and can't focus at all ("oh look - another shiny thing"), or I develop laser-like focus on one problem area to the detriment of all others ("it's 3:00 p.m. and I haven't eaten breakfast.")
I've tried different methods in the past. One of the best is to simply invite people over - my embarrassment supersedes all else, and I clean like a madwoman, usually right up until the time the doorbell rings announcing the first guest. But that is too stressful, and the results are fleeting, and sometimes my dirty secrets are revealed. (My cat likes to sit on an ottoman by the window in my living room. I once had a party and forgot to brush the ottoman before my guests arrived. Someone sat on the ottoman. He was either too polite or too drunk to mention anything, but I'm sure he was covered in hair.)
Ultimately, though, I would like to keep my surroundings clean and organized entirely for myself and not just because I fear the judgement of others. Reframing the reasoning behind my cleaning has sometimes helped. As in, I'm cleaning, not because I hate my space when it's messy, but because I love my space when it's clean. Working towards the positive feels better than working away from the negative.
There's a Tumblr site where people post before and after shots of their cleaning escapades, and the main site is chock-full of support in the form of tips, checklists, challenges and motivational mantras. I love the no-nonsense approach - "excuses are boring" is the unofficial UfYH motto. I also appreciate that the site's creators have taken certain barriers into consideration, such as illness, depression and chronic pain.
The information is also gender-neutral, and acknowledges that most home care advice "tends to ignore single people, or people without kids, or students, or people with pets, or people with roommates, or people with full-time jobs, or classes, or other shit going on." Yep, they are speaking my language.
I don't think I'll be submitting any before and after photos to the site quite yet, (some of my befores are just too embarrassing), but I do think I'll be visiting often for tips and motivation, and maybe, just maybe, I'll finally be able to break my cycle of messiness. And remember to eat breakfast.

21st Century Fox VP & CFO John Nallen spoke about the new WWE SmackDown deal at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia Conference this morning, according to The Wrap. Nallen called SmackDown on Fox a "really unique opportunity" for the network.
"It's a 50 to 52-week-a-year sport with no repeats. It's a new novella every week," said Nallen, comparing it to the other sports that air on Fox, including college football, the NFL and MLB. "For us to have that kind of appointment programming, that audience, every week of the year, is a really unique opportunity for us."
Disney is expected to close a deal to acquire most of 21st Century Fox's film & TV assets during the first half of 2019. Fox will then be without a stream of content from an in-house studio as the sale includes Fox's TV studio but not the Fox broadcast network. Fox will be banking on live sports to fill up a lot of their TV time and that's where WWE will help out in a big way, along with their new Thursday Night Football deal. Nallen said that's one of the biggest benefits of the deal for SmackDown: "To lock up a Friday night and just not have to focus on programming it from an entertainment standpoint."
Fox is scheduled to begin airing SmackDown on Friday nights on October 4, 2019. WWE and Fox recently agreed to a five-year deal that is worth as much as $1 billion.

A Sudden Light by, Garth Stein
Pub Date: Sep 30 2014
My review:
Those who follow my reviews know I am a sucker for a good family secrets novel and this one had it all…secrets, spirits/ghosts, lies, deception and a great generational story. I enjoyed Stein's book The Art of Racing in the Rain and when I saw he had a new book coming out I requested this one on Netgalley and once I started I could not put it down.
I really enjoyed this story I liked the flow of it and the writing, I felt like Trevor was telling me his story and I was completely enthralled.
My favorite character in this book was Grandpa Samuel even though he wasn't the best father or husband or grandfather it was the little snippets he would come up with that would make me laugh or wince but truth coming from a "demented" person sometimes takes a humorous tone.
I wasn't fond of Serena at all and she creeped me out long before anyone in the book seemed to realize how creepy she was. But I won't say anymore because *No Spoilers*
Trevor is a 14 year old kid who just wants his parents to get back together and be happy again. When his parents separate his mother goes to England and Trevor accompanies his father, Jones, to his ancestral home North Estate a home made completely out of huge logs and a place his father hasn't been since he was banished from the home at 16 after his mother died. Trevor is more than happy to accompany his father because he makes it his mission to fix his dad and make everything ok between his parents. But as he soon discovers there is more going on at North estate than meets the eye and it may take a lot more than he was bargaining for to help his dad. I enjoyed Trevor's intellect and his ability to believe in things even when everyone is telling him not to.
Trevor's dad Jones is a messed up man, something happened in this house years ago that he won't talk about and it has affected and is still affecting his entire life but can he step up and become the father his never was?
Then there is the history of the house generations back a promise was made to a dead man that one day North Estate would be allowed to go back to the forest but the people living there today want to be rid of it and want to make boat loads of money in the process, so do you keep a promise to a dead man? Or do you do whatever you want and have the life your forefathers had before other generations squandered the fortune?
These people and stories come together in a great book that I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a multi-generational family secrets story.
4 ½ Stars
Full-Disclosure: I received this book from Netgalley and the publisher for a fair and honest review.

Half-Offset Child Support Shared Custody
I decided a while ago that I would post the small discussion that I had with one of the judges. While this is one judge, he indicated that the judges had discussed the issue extensively and had come to a conclusion.
The problem with the offset system
In shared custody, parents are often ordered to pay offset to each other. Both pay table amounts of support to each other, and the difference between those two values is actually paid by the higher income person to the lower income person.
In a nutshell, the offset system is not fair. It essentially flips the amount of money each parent spends on the kid. So if the father is expected to pay $700 for the upkeep of his child, and the mother is expected to pay $1600 for the upkeep of her child, then the offset involves the mother paying $900 to the father. Note that the table amount represents the ENTIRE financial contribution expected of a parent.
The net result is that the mother now has $900 less (so 1600-900=700) and the father has $900 more (so 700+900=1600). The situations have reversed.
Before child support:
Father: spends $700 on kids
Mother: spends $1600 on kids
After child support:
Father: spends $1600 on kids
Mother: spends $700 on kids
The situations have reversed. It is patently unfair.
The half-offset
With half offset the payor pays half of the difference to the payee. In the above case, the father would receive $450 from the mother. So the father gets (700+450=1150) and the mother gets (1600-450=1150) This results in the following amounts
Father: spends $1150 on kids
Mother: spends $1150 on kids
Seems fair
Why half-offset may not be fair
Shared custody is more expensive, so while the father in our example might normally be expected to pay $700 for his kids, with shared custody there is some duplication. Extra shoes, extra bedroom. So perhaps the father might pay $900 and the mother might pay $1900. In that case the appropriate half-offset would be $500, which is more than a straight offset but less than a full-offset.
When would full-offset be fair?
Full offset only makes sense if shared custody costs exactly double the amount of a normal custody situation. In other words, full offset assumes that in shared custody the father would actually spend $700x2 = $1400 and the mother would spend $1600x2 = $3200, so offset would be $1800 and the half offset would be $900.
So what is actually fair?
Clearly, something between half and full offset. A lot would depend on the actual circumstances of the parents. Have they reduced their costs by repartnering? What are their actual life costs (eg. transportation to work, etc.)? What are the actual extra costs from shared parenting?
Luckily, the legislation already asks judges to look at these factors. Section 9b and 9c are quite explicit in that regard.
That said, I believe that the half-offset is almost certainly far closer to fair than the full offset, though I am unsurprised that the default seems to be to round up to full offset.
The Judge's view
The judge indicated that the judges had pretty much collectively decided that while "half-offset" was indeed probably more fair on the surface, it didn't account for the fact that the higher income person had a bigger pool of money aside from the money used for child support. Therefore, the full-offset was fair.
In other words, using the above example...
Before child support:
Father: $700 for children + some disposable income
Mother: $1600 for children + more disposable income
After child support:
Father: $1600 for children + some disposable income
Mother: $700 for children + more disposable income
The mother has less money for the children, but can make up for the difference through her greater disposable income. In other words, it is expected that the mother will pull an extra $900 from her disposable income to make up for the difference.
Do I agree with the Judge?
Not at all, the point was to let people know how the judges view the situation, so that arguments can be crafted appropriately. There may not be a way to convince a judge that anything other than full setoff is appropriate. The case law indicates that judges essentially ignore sections 9b and 9c in almost all shared custody cases anyway.
Essentially, I believe that litigants need to focus on actual spending patterns and standard of living to have a judge order any deviation of the full offset default in shared custody situations.
The reason the judges go with straight offset is because it's the easiest ruling for them. If two people can agree to a method, more times than not a judge would be acceptable of that, however when you ask a Judge to decide, they are going to take the path of least resistance.
Each situation is different and there are too many factors to go through when people can't agree.
The judges could default to half-offset, or to the midpoint between full offset and half offset. It is unsurprising that they default to the one that involves the higher amount of money changing hands.
Sure they could, but the assumption is the more money available to the children the better. It is about trying to maintain a similar standard of living at both homes. We all know that's never going to happen, but that's the assumption.

Call me cynical, but I think it's just a matter of judges not taking the time to understand the math, and believing that "he pays her his full amount, she pays him her full amount" works out perfectly fairly. Even if they understand it's not perfectly fair, they would prefer to stick with something close enough when the alternative is shaking up all of family law with a precedent.
I've previously expressed that I would love to see a system where both parents put their full CS amounts into a 'pool' and draw from the pool in proportion to their access time.
If one parent has 100% access, they get their full CS back and the full CS of the other parent.
If each parent has 50% access, they each get half-offset back.
And everywhere in between by 10% units or something.
There would be way less fighting over time because the money wouldn't be so all-or-nothing.
If the parent with the greater income can provide the child with a better standard of living, despite pulling less money from the pool than they put in, well, that's life. Every child should learn that you get ahead in life by getting a good education and putting in the work.

I suspect the laws and precedents around CS were formulated in a different era when there was very little shared parenting and most kids had primary residence with one parent (usually Mom). In other words, most kids had one home. Now times have changed and shared parenting is becoming the new norm, but procedures lag behind.
In a non-shared-parenting situation, the guidelines make sense because in theory the non-resident parent is contributing what s/he would have spent on the child if the marriage had remained intact, based on his/her income level. But in a shared situation, the logic doesn't work because each parent is usually already spending close to the same as what they would have spent if the marriage had remained intact, because each parent maintains a bedroom, a suitably sized residence, clothes and toys, etc, for the child. The kids have two homes, not one, and the cost per kid of maintaining two homes is a lot more than the cost of maintaining one.
I'm not sure what the solution is. I like Rioe's idea of pooling CS, but I suspend it would never gain wide acceptance because it's more complicated than just calculating a setoff. Perhaps we need two sets of guidelines, one for non-shared situations and one for shared situations (with lower amounts per income level in the shared one), to recognize the additional costs of shared parenting?
If you read the studies etc... You will see that child support us just an anti welfare mechanism.
Before CS was tax deductible and based on actually needs etc..
The guidelines came in and they basically removed the tax deductibility (saved mothers and the government loads of cash) and we're calculated at rates WAY higher than judges were typically ordering.
If the wealthier parent is paying more than mathematically logical that is considered correct in family law.
Yeah, my method has intimidating math in it. Sigh. I dont personally think its that hard, but apparently math is scary.
When I called it pooling the money though, I didnt mean that there was literally some kind of bank account they both paid into and both drew from.
Making up pretend (sexist) numbers, let's say a dad's amount is $1000 a month and a mom's is $500 a month. Their CS 'pool' has $1500 a month in it.
They pull money out of the pool in proportion to their time spent with the children, in 10% increments, or $150. Then its just math (or refer to my handy chart!) to see how much each person is supposed to have, and who should pay whom what to make that work out.
His time / money ---- Her time / money ------- Money changing hands
0 / $0 ------------------ 100 / $1500 --------------- he pays her $1000 (his full CS)
10 / $150 -------------- 90 / $1350 ----------------- he pays her $850
20 / $300 -------------- 80 / $1200 ----------------- he pays her $700
30 / $450 -------------- 70 / $1050 ----------------- he pays her $550
40 / $600 -------------- 60 / $900 ------------------- he pays her $400
50 / $750 -------------- 50 / $750 ------------------- he pays her $250 (half offset)
60 / $900 -------------- 40 / $600 ------------------- he pays her $100
70 / $1050 ------------ 30 / $450 ------------------- she pays him $50
80 / $1200 ------------ 20 / $300 ------------------- she pays him $200
90 / $1350 ------------ 10 / $150 ------------------- she pays him $350
100 / $1500 ---------- 0 / $0 ------------------------- she pays him $500 (her full CS)
No matter what the living arrangements, the children are theoretically being raised on that collective $1500 a month, spread between the households proportionally to the amount of time they spend in each. If either parent wants to spend more, they can, but the system doesnt rely on it.
Every year, there can be a schedule update as well as an income update. If a parent doesnt exercise their access, or if a parent gets lots of right of first refusal time, well, the next year, the % proportion would be a bit different. I just think that parents would put up MUCH less of a fight about establishing and changing access time if it didnt make so much of a financial difference because the payment curve has been smoothed out.
You can easily have an imputed income in there too, for one of the parents. It just gets harder to collect the less time they have.

Look who's back... back again...
Knave, if you recall I posted some case law on this that was ordered in Kitchener. With some searching someone could find it. (Many years ago.)
If I recall the formula used by the justice was to divide the table amounts of each parent paying in half and then do the offset adjustment on half the values.
Good Luck!
As many have asked... I went and found the case law I am reffering to here:
Tang v. Ma, 2010 ONSC 2867 (CanLII)

Osteoporosis is a bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both. As a result, bones become weak and may break from a fall.
Osteoporosis means "porous bone." Osteoporotic bones have lost density or mass and contain abnormal tissue structure. As bones become less dense, they weaken and are more likely to break.
Typically are no symptoms in the early stages , but once your bones have been weakened by osteoporosis, you may have signs and symptoms that include:
- Back pain, caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra
- Loss of height over time
- A stooped posture
- A bone fracture that occurs much more easily than expected
Why do we get Osteoporosis?
- Hormone levels
- Thyroid problems.
- Other glands. Osteoporosis has also been associated with overactive parathyroid and adrenal glands.
- Low calcium intake
- Eating disorders.
- Gastrointestinal surgery.
- Steroids and other medications
- Medical conditions:Celiac disease,Inflammatory bowel disease,Kidney or liver disease,Cancer,Lupus,Multiple myeloma,Rheumatoid arthritis
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Excessive alcohol consumption.
- Tobacco use.
Backpain Issues
Osteoporosis itself does not cause back pain. However, osteoporosis can weaken the vertebral body (spine) so that it can no longer withstand normal stress or a minor trauma (e.g. a fall), resulting in a fracture. In fact, a fracture is typically the first outward sign of the disease, and advanced osteoporosis is potentially very painful and disabling.

The Lindbergh Eagles jumped out to a 14-0 lead over the Washington on Friday, but could not hang on as the Patriots rallied to hand Lindbergh a 28-21 defeat.
Lindbergh opened the scoring with a 5-yard touchdown run from Josh Nute to take a 7-0 lead after the first quarter.
Then, the Eagles extended their lead when quarterback Sam Nehren hit Montrae Gooden for a 29-yard touchdown pass in the early second quarter to go up 14-0.
Washington rallied, running in a 5-yard touchdown of their own to cut the score in half. But Lindbergh responded, this time with an 11-yard touchdown run from Johsiah Serquina. However, before the halftime buzzer sounded, Washington raced for a 63-yard touchdown brought Lindbergh's lead back to seven as the teams headed to locker rooms with the Eagles up 21-14.
Unfortunately for Lindbergh, they were unable to keep their momentum going in the second half. First, Washington scored on a 9-yard pass play to knot the score at 21-21 through the third.
Then, in the fourth, Washington was able to push through another rushing touchdown, this one from 1 yard out, to secure a 28-21 win.
With the loss, Lindbergh falls to 4-3 overall and 3-3 in the South Puget Sound League. They host Foss at 7 p.m. Friday at Renton Memorial Stadium.

Sooooo Tired
Is anyone else sooooo tired? This past week has been horrible. I get plently of sleep, but have felt so physically tired lately. I'm tired just from walking up and down the stairs!! Anyone else feelilng this way? I am currenly 18 weeks, but I just haven't been able to shake this tiredness for the past couple of days. My legs are super tired too
I have been exhausted from the very beginning. When I entered my 2nd trimester I was looking for the spurt of energy everyone talks about but I haven't gotten it. It could have a lot to do with excercise. Do you walk or do any excercise? I cannot do any, mostly just sitting around, the most I get is getting up to pee and making supper. But that is by my doctors orders. All I want to do is sleep all day and all night. Alot of that is boredome as well. I am 19 weeks.
Hi, Thanks for your response. Yeah, I haven't gotten that burst of energy either. I was really waiting for it. Oh well. I am actually feeling a little better. My body was just so tired earlier this week, but I think I was starting to get a cold that never really "hit" me all the way. I don't exercise much, although I told myself I would. By the time I get home and make dinner and all the food stuff, it's close to 7:00 so I am pooped! I work for a busy executive so I figure I get enough exercise running around at work like a chicken with my head cut off!! he he!!
I thought I was doing so great because I wasn't that tired the first trimester like everyone complains of being. My second trimester, I am a ton more tired than the first. I'm tired all the time. I guess I'm backwards.
I have been tired the whole time! It is a lot of work growing a baby. I work full-time, and have another child, so not too much time to rest, but believe me whenever I have a chance, I take it!
I also never got that spurt of energy. I am so exhausted constantly. I don't remember feeling this tired with my other pregnancies. I think that is part of why I am so exhausted because I am working and raising a 4 and 5 year old. I am 18 weeks.
I know we all have very busy lives. I work fulltime and I go to school fulltime. I leave the house at 7:00am and i get home at 8:00pm. i have something to eat for "dinner" and by 8:45pm I'm struggling to stay awake. BUT, I make myself get on my treadmill for 30 minutes everyday. Regardless. I look at that 30 minutes as "me time". I am doing something that is good for my physical, emotional and mental health. Heart disease is the No 1 killer of women in the United States. Not b___st cancer, not ovarian cancer......heart disease. And the No 1 cause of heart disease in women is stress. We have to be mindful of how fragile our bodies are, especially when we are pregnant and make a committment to improve our health. Now, if you're under doctors orders to not exercise....that's one thing. But the old "i'm too tired, i don't have the energy" excuse doesn't cut it. Can you at least commit to 30 min a day three times a week??? YES YOU CAN!! You go girl!!

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (Wi-Fi)
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (Wi-Fi)
We review products independently, but we may earn affiliate commissions from buying links on this page. Terms of use.
- Crisp edge-lighting.
- Sharp new fonts.
- Fast, smooth, touch-based UI.
- Improved home screen.
- Robust content ecosystem.
- Ads cost $20 to remove.
- No more headphone jack.
Bottom LineThe Wi-Fi-only Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is our favorite ebook reader, thanks to its bright, even edge-lighting and a number of other refinements, and it's a much better buy than the 3G version.
There's actually very little different between the two models. For a full review from top to bottom, read our
The Kindle Paperwhite keeps the same dimensions as the 3G model, measuring 6.7 by 4.6 by 0.36 inches (HWD). However, it weighs 7.5 ounces instead of 7.8 ounces; you won't notice it unless you're holding both and trying to feel the difference.
What "No 3G" Really Means
Since there's no cellular radio, it means you'll have to log into a Wi-Fi network whenever you want to buy a book. This is less of a pain than it sounds, because you can set up your home network once, and the Paperwhite will always connect to that. Aside from not being able to buy a book while in a park or on the beach, the only other downside is that you'll need to program in the Wi-Fi network of a hotel you're staying at, or a coffee shop you're in, if you plan on shopping for new books, or if you want to download something to the Kindle that's still only in the cloud.
The latter case is pretty rare, though; most likely you'll download all purchases to the Kindle itself, and only download some of your collection to other devices, like an iPhone or Android phone. And again, it's only when you need to shop for new books. You can pick up the Kindle Paperwhite and read without connectivity whenever you want. Otherwise, we've confirmed in testing that aside from the lack of 3G, the Wi-Fi-only Kindle Paperwhite looks and works exactly the same as the 3G version.
Paperwhite vs. the Competition
At $119 with Special Offers, or $139 without, the base Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is now $20 more expensive than the
If you don't need a lighted screen, we're getting in the base Kindle in for testing soon, now that Amazon has refreshed it and lowered the price by $10 from

BAEZA-SERRATO, Roberto. Stochastic plans in SMEs: A novel multidimensional fuzzy logic system (mFLS) approach. Ing. Investig. [online]. 2018, vol.38, n.2, pp.70-78. ISSN 0120-5609. http://dx.doi.org/10.15446/ing.investig.v38n2.65357.
Manufacturing planning in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) uses a deterministic behavior, and the execution of these plans has a stochastic behavior. The evaluation of the manufacturing planning is based on a simple criterion as job on time or job delayed, without integrating conditions of uncertainty in the cycle times for each job. The aim of this paper is to propose a novel multidimensional stochastic Fuzzy Logic System (msFLS) approach to execute a plan with stochastic behavior in knitting SMEs and their evaluation. In this paper, two main contributions are identified. On one hand, the generation of a multi-dimensional diffuse system is proposed. Normal probability density function is used to generate multi linguistic variables to transform deterministic plans to stochastic plans in knitting SMEs. The fuzzy subsets or linguistic terms are labelled and categorized in a simple and clear language as poor (P), regular (R), good (G) and excellent (E). The Gaussian function was used as a membership function. On the other hand, the second contribution is the use of the sum of frequencies in the stage of implication for the multi-Fuzzy system. This research was validated through an integration of two different intelligent techniques such as the proposed novel msFLS and artificial neural networks. Neural networks were used as a generalization mechanism to perform any stochastic planning in the knitting companies. The inputs and outputs of the fuzzy system are used as training patterns in the neural network. The stages of the proposed approach are explicitly described and applied to random data and validated with real data of SMEs of the South of Guanajuato, Mexico. The proposed system had a positive response in the textile company, which continues to be used to carry out its manufacturing planning and the evaluation of its execution.

Garage Shock!
Garage Shock was the annual 4 day festival of trashy rock'n'roll put on by Estrus Records back in their '90s heyday. For a few years I had a regular gig designing the T-shirt for this event. This was the third one from 1994. Stay tuned for MORE ACTION!

those garageshocks were epic events! I miss estrus!ReplyDelete
Yeah, all the ones I went to were great! Saw so many amazing bands in their prime. I saw the Makers at Garage Shock before they even had a record out.ReplyDelete
And you sang karaoke with me before Garageshock one night! Can't remember what you sung, but i think I sang "Brandy" by The Lookingglass.ReplyDelete
Yeah, that was the year The Go-Nuts played! Fun times indeed. That's still the only pie eating contest I've ever seen at a rock'n'roll show.ReplyDelete
