'After applying an eyebase, you need to warm up the lime color first with an q-tip, else you don't get much pigment on the brush. Then you can dip your brush in, and start building the color: just dab the color on, don't swipe it. That way you get the best color on the lid.'
'The finished look. I used Wynie ES Palette in #01, color 7, see <here>. Under my brows I used the white from my Sleek Au Naturel Palette, which called Nougat I believe.'
'Reason for me to do an extra post about this, was because of trying one of the colors out on the lid. As you can tell, you get way more color on the lid when using an q-tip to warm them up, then when you only swipe your finger in the pan.'
Swatched on my hand, row 2. The lime color I used in this post, is color D. Not much pigmentation on my hand, as you can see.
You see, not so much pigmentation for the first row also. My tip: warm them up with an q-tip too, then dip your brush in and build the color by dabbing.
Here's an swatch picture from row 3 again. The best row from this palette, cause you don't need to warm the colors up with an q-tip that much.

Too many travelers whiz up I-93 en route to New Hampshire's popular Lakes Region and White Mountains without ever contemplating a stop in capital city Concord. In recent years, though, the hub of government in the "Live Free or Die" state has become more than a ho-hum urban business center. Expanded cultural offerings, independently owned shops and one-of-a-kind attractions make Concord a destination in its own right. Choose Concord for a getaway, and you'll save driving time and pack more fun into even a short stay. Here are 15 of the top things to do while you're visiting this friendly, livable small city.
Be Starstruck at the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center
This interactive space museum and planetarium honors two pioneering New Hampshire astronauts: Alan Shepard, the first American in space, and Christa McAuliffe, who tragically perished aboard the space shuttle "Challenger" after training to be America's first teacher in space. Designed to appeal both to children and grown-ups, it's the place to see unique NASA artifacts like a space toilet and space treadmill (with a harness, of course), to see yourself in infrared light, to experience life in orbit and to understand the history of space exploration and contemplate what lies ahead. For a small add-on fee, don't miss your chance to see a show in the 40-foot planetarium dome.
Paddle Concord's Rivers
The rivers that once powered industry give Concord its distinctive character, and you can have an outdoorsy experience within city limits by renting a kayak, canoe or stand up paddleboard (SUP) at Contoocook River Canoe Company. Situated on a tributary of the mighty Merrimack River, which flows through downtown, this family-owned outfitter can set you up for a variety of adventures such as a beginner-friendly, 5-mile SUP or kayak excursion on the Merrimack starting in Boscawen Village or a leisurely SUP experience on the Contoocook. Guided kayak fishing tours and SUP yoga classes are also offered.
Step Back in Time at Canterbury Shaker Village
Although the Shaker religion is nearly extinct, the distinctive lifeways and handcrafts of its followers still captivate more than two centuries after a community of Shakers took up residence in Canterbury, New Hampshire, just 12 miles northeast of Concord. While you're in the capital region, be sure to tour this collection of 25 original Shaker buildings situated on 694 acres of gardens, ponds, fields and forests. Watching live demonstrations of traditional crafts like broom making, wool spinning, woodworking and rug braiding will be a highlight of your visit. There's a cafe on site and a lovely nature trail, so you can easily spend the better part of a day in this world away. Canterbury Shaker Village is open seasonally from early May through early December.
Immerse Yourself in the Visual Arts
Downtown Concord is graced with a number of large-scale permanent public art works, which are complemented each year by a new "Art on Main" collection of temporary installations. Concord is also home to a number of craft and fine art galleries including the must-visit League of New Hampshire Craftsmen Concord Fine Craft Gallery. You'll also discover a pair of galleries at the Kimball Jenkins Estate, and this multifaceted destination's School of Art offers a busy schedule of one-day and multi-session classes for all ages and abilities.
Explore New Hampshire History
The New Hampshire Historical Society Museum, located in the organization's glorious, Greek-temple-like 1911 headquarters building, is home to the largest collection of artifacts that tell the state's story. From Native American creations to 19th-century paintings of the White Mountains to memorabilia from New Hampshire's "first in the nation" political primaries and so much more, this is your place to understand the Granite State's accomplishments and distinctive attitude. Open year-round, the museum and its library captivate casual browsers while offering a depth of resources for researchers and genealogists.
Rediscover the Art of Film at Red River Theatres
This three-screen arthouse movie theatre has its own dramatic story. Built with passion and from nearly $2 million contributed by community supporters, it first opened in 2007 and has earned accolades for its programming and the intimate film-viewing experience it creates. Come hungry and thirsty because in addition to popcorn and soft drinks, the non-profit theater's Indie Cafe serves sandwiches, Mitchell's salsa and chips, New Hampshire wines and beers and locally made chocolates. Screenings of foreign, independent, local, nature, classic and family films are complemented by special events.
Hike the Trails at Winant Park
This city-owned, 85-acre park is lushly wooded and veined with trails that are short but steep enough to demand some exertion. Add in old-growth specimen trees, a peek-a-boo vista of the State House's gold dome, mountain views and — in the fall — striking foliage colors, and this becomes not only a place to stretch your legs and lungs without leaving the city but a must-visit spot for photographers. The property is dog-friendly. Parking is available at the trailhead on Fisk Road.
Sip Concord-Brewed Beers
New Hampshire's capital offers plenty to excite beer fans. With two innovative breweries of its own and nearly a half-dozen more nearby, you can plan an entire weekend around sampling freshly crafted pints. Concord Craft Brewing Co. was the first nanobrewery to open its doors in the city, and you'll always find eight of their current creations on tap: Many, like Ballot Box Brut IPA, have names with political overtones. Lithermans Limited is actually defying limits: How else can you explain a sour ale inspired by fruitcake? Hang out with the brewers, listen to tunes and sample the latest experimental and seasonal brews. Still thirsty? Blasty Bough Brewing Company, a farm brewery in nearby Epsom, New Hampshire, is worth finding especially on concert nights.
Meet Raptors and Spy on Woodland Birds
NH Audubon's oldest environmental center is located in Concord, and it's your place to see birds of prey like a bald eagle, a screech owl and a peregrine falcon, as well as to head out with binoculars on Silk Farm Sanctuary trails to look for native and migrating species. The Susan N. McLane Audubon Center hosts a variety of educational programs that are open to the public, too, such as animal tracking walks and adventure treasure hunts.
Curl Up with a Good Book
The longevity of Gibson's Bookstore is remarkable. Founded in 1898 and still fiercely independent, it's the oldest continuously operating retailer in Concord and a haven for bibliophiles. Not only will you find something here you want to read, you can treat yourself to coffee, tea, treats or lunch at the store's True Brew Café. What really distinguishes this literary destination is its line-up of author talks and book signings: More than 100 events are typically scheduled each year.
Catch a Show at Capitol Center for the Arts
Concord's premier performance venue is one of New Hampshire's best places to see a concert or theatrical production. This classic 1927 theater has been modernized without compromising its charms, and its come-as-you-are vibe makes its eclectic line-up of performances approachable for all visitors. When Broadway touring shows are in town, they're a ticket you don't want to miss. Live Broadcasts from The Met bring New York City opera to this northern capital.
Tour the New Hampshire State House
Built of granite (of course) in Greek Revival style, the gold-domed New Hampshire State House has been in use since 1819. It has the distinction of being the oldest state capitol building in which both legislative houses still meet in their original chambers. You'll learn this and more on a free tour of this building where the live action of governing New Hampshire takes place. Self-guided tours are always available from 8:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. weekdays, and guided tours are also frequently available. Stop into the Visitor's Center when you arrive to check your tour options and to explore the shop filled with unique New Hampshire gifts.
Visit the Pierce Manse
Only one U.S. president has hailed from New Hampshire, and if you're in Concord from mid-June through early October, you can visit his home. Here in his native state, Franklin Pierce is looked upon far more kindly than he is in history texts, where he is frequently dubbed one of the worst presidents of all time. On your tour, he'll become more three-dimensional and more fascinating, and you'll also hear the interesting tale of this building, which was saved from destruction by local supporters and moved to its present location in 1971. Once you've been introduced to Pierce as a tragic and complex figure, you may want to plan a side trip to the president's childhood home, the Franklin Pierce Homestead, which is a half-hour drive west in Hillsborough, New Hampshire, or pay respects to the president at Concord's Old North Cemetery: his final resting place.
Pick Your Own Apples and Other Fruit at Carter Hill Orchard
Yes, New Hampshire's capital has its own apple orchard, and a fall outing to pick fresh fruit from the trees is a tradition embraced by locals and visitors alike. Carter Hill Orchard is also known for its apple cider pressed on-site, and if you visit the orchard, you can taste it unpasteurized and full of apple-y flavor. Other pick-your-own crops that ripen in summer and early fall include blueberries, peaches and raspberries. You'll love the mountain views from these lands, which have been farmed since 1740 and are forever preserved as agricultural space. Shopping in the Country Store is a must, too.
Hunt for Antiques
With 150 dealer spaces under one roof, the Concord Antique Gallery is a treasure hunter's dream come true. You'll find eclectic collectibles, antique furnishings, old books, art, vintage jewelry, vinyl records and gazillions of decor items to recycle and upcycle on two floors in this 10,000-square-foot mall, which is open daily year-round. The best time to shop is during the annual Midnight Merriment event in early December, when hours are extended until midnight and everything in the gallery is discounted.

Upon the arrival of a new year I seemed to have acquired an abundant amount of ideas for 2010!
Having gone to Imaging USA conference in Nashville, I was bombarded with new ideas and ways to attract a wide range of clients.
I have already sat down to plan out Photo Session Specials for the next 5 months.
I have a Valentine's Special for February, an Easter Special starting in March (with live rabbits!!) , and a Mother's day special for May.
Not to mention that i will be snapping pictures at UT Martin's Rodeo in April.
Not to mention baseball season is starting shortly.
Not to mention I've gotta have a life somewhere in between there.
Nevertheless, I will survive by the grace of God, and I'll have fun doing it!
That's all for now!

If there's one result of this very strange election year of 2016, it is the certain bankruptcy of the Lesser of Two Evils argument.
You know, the Democratic candidate may be a guy with one screw loose — say, for one example, John Kerry in the 2004 election — but you still have to, as an honest progressive, vote for him (or her) anyway, because he (or she) is the LoTE, the Lesser of Two Evils.
We have in 2016 the choice between an avowed fascist, as I've repeatedly shouted aloud at the Friday at Five Anti-war Witness at Pioneer Courthouse Square (so much that my co-demonstrators have repeatedly told me not to shout, and I have deferred to these guys who initiated the anti-war witness, which I've only joined in the last eight years), and a war-monger.
I think we can see who the avowed fascist is: fascism defines itself as not caring much for precedent, or details, but blind faith in a Leader. That's the Republican nominee, all right.
As for the war-monger, this is more evident than ever with the address this week of the Democratic Party nominee to the American Legion, a group founded after World War One (that is, two decades before the emergence of an unapologetic policy by the U.S. of World Policeman). I offer what a longtime progressively-oriented investigative journalist has to say, to characterize the speech.
Now comes Clinton's speech at an American Legion convention in Cincinnati, her most bellicose to date, in which she savages Trump for failing to embrace the ultra-imperialist doctrine of "American exceptionalism."
"My opponent in this race has said very clearly that he thinks American exceptionalism is insulting to the rest of the world," she said Wednesday. "In fact, when Vladimir Putin, of all people, criticized American exceptionalism, my opponent agreed with him, saying, and I quote, 'if you're in Russia, you don't want to hear that America is exceptional.' Well maybe you don't want to hear it, but that doesn't mean it's not true."
Good people, she went on, do not take exception to the doctrine – only enemies do:
"When we say America is exceptional, it doesn't mean that people from other places don't feel deep national pride, just like we do. It means that we recognize America's unique and unparalleled ability to be a force for peace and progress, a champion for freedom and opportunity. Our power comes with a responsibility to lead, humbly, thoughtfully, and with a fierce commitment to our values. Because, when America fails to lead, we leave a vacuum that either causes chaos or other countries or networks rush in to fill the void."
Of course you, reader, ought to vote for something, not against. Of course you ought to vote for Jill Stein, the nominee of the Green Party. But if by chance you are still stuck into the misleading and destructive mindset of voting LoTE, then you in order to lessen the chance of even more wars initiated by the United States, ought to vote for Donald Trump.
UPDATE 7 September 2016: Indeed, if you are willing to cast your vote for a racist, fascist, infantile narcissist, on the basis of LoTE, Trump is emphasizing his peaceful credentials today.
Vowing that his foreign policy would "emphasize diplomacy, not destruction," Donald Trump went on the offensive Wednesday against Hillary Clinton, accusing the Democratic nominee of being "trigger-happy" and "very unstable."
Trump declared that Clinton's legacy in Iraq, Libya and Syria "has produced only turmoil and suffering and death" during his speech to the Union League of Philadelphia, hours before he is set to appear after the former secretary of state at the Commander in Chief Forum in New York City.

December 2, 2004
* STENCEL RE-ELECTED … Rocky Mountain Farmers Union members re-elected John Stencel to another two-year term as president at the conclusion of the farm group's 96th annual convention in Denver.
During the convention, delegates and members heard speakers on public policy issues, agricultural marketing and rural health care.
Convention keynoter Kathleen Kelley, a Meeker rancher and vice president of the Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund, R-Calif., said that exports have not benefited the producers bottom line.
* CROPS UP … Colorado's corn for grain production for 2004 is forecast at 128 million bushels, according to the Colorado Agricultural Statistics Service. That's up 7 percent from last year. The service said the increase is entirely due to the larger area harvested this year as the average yield of 128 bushels per acre is down 7 bushels from last year's result.
Sorghum production is forecast at 7 million bushels, up 62 percent from a year ago; and sugar beet production is estimated at 808,000 tons, up 25 percent from 2003.
* BUREAU AWARDS … The Colorado Farm Bureau presented three awards during its recently concluded 86th annual meeting in Denver.

Donate your unwanted Winter Fuel Payments to our appeal
18th Dec, 2018
Shropshire RCC are asking people who can afford it to donate their Winter Fuel payments to help those in need.
We have launched our annual Warmer Winter Appeal, which uses the donations to give out grants for emergency fuel and energy saving improvements in people's homes.
The campaign has raised almost £20,000 and helped 130 households in the county since it began in 2011.
Winter Fuel Payments are distributed by the government to everyone over State Pension age, regardless of income and whether they are still working. This year the amount available is between £100 and £300, depending on age and circumstances.
Julia Baron, Chief Executive of Shropshire RCC, said: "Many people in Shropshire receive this benefit and may not really need it, while for others, rising fuel costs is a source of great anxiety.
"We are asking people who wouldn't miss their payments to donate all, or part, of them so they can be used to help people who are struggling to stay warm this winter."
Shropshire has the fourth-highest level of fuel poverty in England, with over 19,000 fuel-poor households. A large number of homes in the county are also 'off gas' so fuel choice is limited and can be expensive.
Julia added: "One of the rewards of giving to this fund is that you can be assured that you are making a direct impact on someone's life close to home and helping someone local to you."
To donate to the Warmer Winter Appeal, visit Shropshire RCC's MyDonate fundraising page or send a cheque, made out to 'Shropshire RCC', to Shropshire RCC Warmer Winter Appeal, 4 The Creative Quarter, Shrewsbury Business Park, Shrewsbury, SY2 6LG.
And if you are a tax payer you can make your gift go even further by completing a Gift Aid form so that we can claim a further 25% from the government.

I don't know about you, but I have had the occasional person as me what it is like to have anxiety. There is just one sentence that I think sums it up without sounding too dark. Having anxiety is when you care way too much about everything.
It is when you know you shouldn't stress about it but you can't help it. It's having that person in your life that never changes so you say don't care anymore, you won't help anymore but at the end of the day you do anyway so you can give your mind just a little bit of peace. Even though it never comes because there is always something to stress over.
It is staying up all night no matter how tired you are, because your mind won't stop running. Have any of you ever seen the show scrubs? Having anxiety is like the inner monologue that J.D. constantly has. Except instead of the nice, carefree voice of J.D. where he has all of these nice little fantasies that make the audience giggle, you are given all of the insecurities. The dark matter. Having anxiety is like having Dr. Cox constantly in your head providing your monologue. Or, well he is kind of a mean ass on the show. So just imagine having that as a monologue in your head. 24/7. Never ending.
Having anxiety is a struggle. Your emotions are on your sleeves but not everyone understands. So we should keep discussing the battles of mental illness. Share, talk, tweet. Get the word out so we can #BreakTheStigma

Sorry. I am having a very difficult time with surface area. I tried to work the last two out but I am not sure if they are correct or not*. The other three I can't seem to figure out at all. Please help! Thank you!
*(sorry for my crappy writing)
Last one: There are 6 faces, I think, wait, yes! So, the area of the first face, 2nd face: 2(20*10)=2(200)=400yd^2
Area of the 3rd face, 4th face: 2(20*20)=2(400)=800yd^2
Ares of the 5th face, and 6th face: 2(20*10)=2*200=400yd^2.
Thus, the surafce area is 400+400+800=1600yd^2. You're correct!
5th one: Two trapezoids! No! Area of a trapezoid: 2(51.85)- use the formula=103.7 mi^2.
Rectangles: 2(14*7)=196 mi^2
Bottom rectangle: 5*14=70 mi^2
Top rectangle: 168 mi^2
So, 103.7+196+70+168=537.7? I might be wrong.
1st one: Base, which is a rectangle: 18*20=360mi^2
2*(1/2*20*14.2) and 2*(1/2*18*14.9)=20*14.2+18*14.9=284+268.2=552.2mi^2
So, 360mi^2+552.2mi^2=912.2mi^2.
Third one (on top right)
We have a triangular pyramid
The sides are 3 congruent triangles with bases of 9 cm and heights of 19.2 cm
So...their total area is (3)(1/2) (9) (19.2) = 259.2 cm^2
The base is a triangle with a base of 9cm and a height of 7.8 cm
Its area is (1/2) (9)(7.8) = 35.1 cm^2
So.....the total surface area is 259.2 + 35.1 = 294.3 cm^2
Middle one at top
We have a triangular prism
The top/bottom are congruent triangles with base = 15 in and height of 7.7 in
So the total area of top/bottom is 15 * 7.7 = 115.5 in^2
The sides are rectangles with height of 8 in and widths of ( 15,15 and 8 in)
So the side area is 8 [ 15 + 15 + 8 ] = 8 [ 38 ] = 304 in^2
So..the total surface area is 115.5 + 304 = 419.5 in^2

Portraits and Why I Love Taking Them
Welcome back Viewer! Sorry for the long wait for a new post. Frankly being a college student means I get cheap internet. On occasions the wifi on my internet will just die, leaving me with the sad "Could Not Load Page: Please Refresh." Doesn't seeing that on your browser just suck? Yeah it really does, but for me it gives me a lot more time to stay away from Facebook and go outside and take pictures! Today I wanted to bring to you one of the most common type of photography done today. You see it a lot in magazines, it happens to your child every year, you even get one taken for your business profile. Yes I am talking about Portraiture. When I was introduced to photography I was really seeing the landscapes around me and capturing those places through the lens of my camera. After looking through many photos and noticing that a lot of landscapes look good with a person in the shot somewhere I decided that I would start to know more about portraiture. This past session at school I learned some awesome techniques that aided me in my quest to create amazing portraits. In some of the photos you will see below, I have used these techniques to create amazing looking portraits and have captured certain people I wanted to portray! Since I started to shoot portraiture I have started to see a couple of new things. First I have started to see lighting direction and the quality of light. Second I have noticed that I get a lot of personal satisfaction when I take a great portrait. Something about the way the light hits their face and the emotion that can be brought up in their portrait gives me that spark to keep shooting more and more! These are some current photos from the past couple weeks. Enjoy, and don't be afraid to go out and learn something brand new!
Comments3 Responses to "Portraits and Why I Love Taking Them"
Hey Bryan,
I LOVE portraits and these are awesome. So glad you have a blog now 🙂 I can't wait for more posts.
I am developing a love for photography too and wanted to say thanks for helping to spark my interest. It has been an amazing experience. I have a totally different view of the world around me and really enjoy being creative.
So, in the spirit of sharing photos, here is the best portrait I've taken so far….
hahha look at grandma wit her stunna shades on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's got her face on….Nice pics Bryan….as usual!!!

Far from True
Author(s): Linwood Barclay
It began with Broken Promise. Now the mystery deepens in the second of the Promise Falls trilogy. A freak accident has killed Lucy Brighton's father. And when she goes to his house, she's convinced that someone has broken in. She asks private investigator Cal Weaver to look into it - but isn't prepared for what he'll find. Cal discovers a secret 'playroom' in the basement, complete with video equipment, and it looks as though there's a missing recording. How does the stolen DVD connect to the other disturbing events that are happening in the town? As Cal investigates further, and more people start dying in mysterious circumstances, it's clear that someone is targeting Promise Falls. But who - and how far will they go?

Our free syndication programme allows partners to embed NHS Choices content (including multimedia tools and videos) within their websites, negating the need for in-house development or external signposting. In the past year, 50 million people have viewed NHS content via partner websites. For example, Microsoft Bing uses our content to power their GP and Hospital experience for local search queries, and Myria Systems has implemented the information across a range of GP websites.
Reasons for change
For the last six months NHS Choices has invested time and energy into the migration of its content from a 10 year old Sharepoint system to a new content management system (CMS). It was clear that the expectations of our 800 live partners who rely on the availability of our content and data were a key dependency of this work.
The service had often been overlooked in the evolution of the programme and its products – being shoehorned into things retrospectively instead of being considered a key feature at their discovery phase. However, a review of the programme roadmap presented our team with an invaluable opportunity to pitch for an improved service which addressed the poor user experience and infrastructure issues from which it had suffered in parallel to the CMS work being carried out. The Expo will see the launch of the new API developer portal giving partners an easier route into our syndication service and a smoother experience across the board.
The challenges of building a new API platform
This work is ongoing and we are constantly challenged by the need to maintain service levels while delivering change within an agile environment. When we come to switch from one API platform to another we will inevitably lose partners along the way. The only way to mitigate the numbers impacted is to communicate and encourage them all to start implementing the new content API as soon as it becomes available.
We have improved the random positioning of our supporting documentation which is currently embedded across various links and blogs making for a poor user experience. We are building the new platform with an integrated central document repository making it easier to update and access.
Moving forward with user needs
In order to be able to respond to user needs we are also developing a more effective tracking pixel which partners will need to proactively implement in exchange for the free syndication of our content. This will help us to monitor how our content is used and understand what is and isn't working for partners. In a bid to support market innovation we have also initiated a new phase of engagement with our partners to try and understand their longer term needs as far as syndication goes. So if you have any suggestions about where the service needs to go, then please let us know.

Food, glorious food! Whether your company is looking for ideas for corporate events or days out, or a new way to approach team building exercises, turning to food based activities is a great way to engage everyone at work.
An opportunity to enhance social interaction between your staff members, with plenty of collaborative problem solving skills required, the kitchen can be an enjoyable place where everyone feels able to contribute something useful to the team.
Here are three food workshop ideas that are likely to be very popular with your staff team, as advised by Lloyd Wells – a dab hand in the kitchen and online, working with Best Venues London – a FREE venue-sourcing service designed to highlight the most unique venues in the UK.
Baking Class
Who hasn't been inspired by The Great British Bake Off? Whether you're a novice baker or expert patissier, there's nothing like the smell of freshly baked goodies to put a smile on everyone's face. If you're looking to reward your team or raise morale, a corporate Baking Day out may be the perfect solution.
Under expert instruction, your team will enjoy spending a hands-on practical day recreating old classic recipes or testing their creative flair to produce new sweet treats – cakes, sweet pastry, biscuits, cupcakes – then decorate and serve.
Taught by professional pastry chefs, your group's baking skills will come on in leaps and bounds, with plenty of motivation and praise, not to mention useful tips of the trade, provided throughout the day.
Why not finish off with a baking competition under the watchful eye of professional judges to see who is the champion baker of them all?
Sushi is a Japanese delicacy that looks as good as it tastes, and you can learn how to make these mouthwatering mini dishes within a few hours. Teambuilding workshops are fun and light-hearted – no cooking experience required.
Far from being all about raw fish, sushi is any dish that is made with special sushi rice, often rolled in nori, a type of sea vegetable. With a wide variety of ingredients to choose from, including many fish and vegetarian options, every palate will be catered for!
Let an experienced sushi chef demonstrate the art of rolling sushi and discover some of the wonderful fresh and tasty Japanese ingredients you could incorporate into different types of sushi, such as futomaki and hosomaki, temaki and nigari.
Then put it all to the test in a hands-on session creating your own sushi rolls. How about a little Master Chef style competition to find out whose efforts are the most professional, followed by sampling all the delicious results?
Indulge your executives while bringing out their creative team spirit with a chocolate making workshop. A professional chocolatier will demonstrate the delicate art of handmaking and decorating exquisite chocolate treats, with plenty of opportunity to sample.
Learn about the history of chocolate, its near magical properties and myths, and send your taste buds on a journey of discovery as you tease your palate with a range of ingredients from raw cocoa nibs to 100% pure chocolate.
Then it's your turn to try your hand at making your own chocolate ganache, piping techniques, chilling and decorating to your heart's content. This is a perfect opportunity to develop camaraderie and team work techniques in a fun and stress-free environment.
And the best bit? Every member of your group goes home happy with their own box of chocolates to impress friends, family or colleagues.

Several of our favorite books on technology and faith, including Tweet If You ♥ Jesus and The Digital Cathedral, propose the idea of a technology rule of life. Lisa Kimball and Kyle Oliver turned the idea into an assignment in their Digital Media for Ministry class.
The purpose of this assignment is to help students reflect on how technology influences their life with God and to cultivate wise practices for making the best of that relationship.

Ref "Almost famous"
As a relative newcomer to the 'computer age', I ran my name through Google out of curiosity. I was surprised and I must confess secretly pleased to find that my namesake was in a band. Looking at the 'almost famous' photo, you and the guys clearly liked the same sort of music also. As a family man now in my late thirties, it brought a smile to my face as my first concerts I ever saw (in St Austell, Cornwall) were Motorhead and Thin Lizzy. All the best Dave, regards Greg Blackler (Wiltshire, UK)
I love middle-aged reminescing about the days when music was real!
NZ Greg Blackler has posted a couple of messages here in the past. He still plays I believe.
I'll have to tell him that he's got the #1 Google spot for his name :eek:

After a federal judge overturned President Barack Obama's 2013 order extending overtime pay to domestic workers, Gov. Jerry Brown rescinded his hard-fought deal with California's In-Home Supportive Services employees that promised to cover overtime, travel and wait time costs. Home health aides have since launched a renewed campaign against the governor, calling for equality with other workers. Their latest protest gives them their own day in court: a mock tribunal putting California on trial for its treatment of in-home caregivers. Former state Senate candidate Sandra Fluke and Paul Song, executive chairman of the Courage Campaign, are among the "jurors" for the event, 12:30 p.m on the north steps of the Capitol, which is organized by the United Domestic Workers of America.

'Massive injustice' or 'cause worth fighting for'? Courage Campaign reacts to state Supreme Court halting gay marriages
Dr. Paul Song, executive chairman of the pro-marriage equality group Courage Campaign described the ruling as "nothing short of outrageous" in a Tuesday statement. "Once again, Alabama has put itself on the wrong side of history. We are confident that once the dust settles, marriage equality will be the law not only in Alabama but nationwide as well," Song said. "Love is love. It is not something that should be subject to being legislated or litigated."

Days after possibly the largest anti-fracking protest in history, environmentalists delivered a petition to California Gov. Jerry Brown demanding a ban on the controversial practice. The petition, which contained 184,000 signatures, was delivered Monday by a coalition of environmental progress groups, including the California-based Courage Campaign, Daily Kos, 350.org, Food and Water Watch, CREDO, Environmental Action, Presente, Forecast the Facts, and RH Reality Check.

Area Congressman John Garamendi a couple of weeks ago acknowledged he was approached as a possible Democratic candidate to run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated in 2016 by Barbara Boxer. However, it has been state Attorney General Kamala Harris, also a Democrat, who has been getting the bulk of the attention as a possible successor. A recent "pulse poll" by the Democratic-leaning Democracy for America and Courage Campaign shows Harris a solid front-runner and Garamendi listed sixth of 15 potential Democratic candidates. In a prepared statement, Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, a former lieutenant governor and state insurance commissioner, said earlier he would consider running for the seat. But, he also said, "my first duty is to the people of the 3rd Congressional District."
January 23, 2015
One day later, with few other Democrats close to the starting line, Elizabeth Warren endorsed Harris. Eight days later, the Howard Dean-founded Democracy for America–which is part of a coalition coaxing Warren to run for president–released a poll conducted with the California-based progressive Courage Campaign. Unscientific, conducted of the members who'd clicked through online in the week after Harris's announcement, it found that 64.5 percent of California DFA/Courage voters wanted Harris to be the Democratic nominee. The rest of the vote scattered between some lesser-known Democrats. Tom Steyer got 2.7 percent of it.

The Courage Campaign has been critical of Brown arguing that while he has done a "heroic job" of bringing the state back from the budget cliff, "much to our dismay, his proposed budget has prioritized savings for a rainy-day, even though the economic storm that began in 2008 is still raging on families across the state. California continues to have the highest poverty rate in the nation and this budget fails to prioritize the nearly nine million Californians struggling to make ends meet everyday."

After the Colts win the Super Bowl who will get the Gatorade shower,Peyton Manning or Jim Caldwell?
So watcha think?
BTW I'm a Panther fan,not a bandwagoner.
its a joke!
cant u play along
19 Answers

Peyton Manning is going to let Caldwell coach again this week....... not looking good, we saw what happened last time he tried that (week 16)
- Anonymous4 years ago
Easy there fella. I know that loss is still working ya but man Caldwell had little to do with their loss. The Colts were prepared, motivated and geared to win that game which is why they were able to dominate the first quarter. The real reason the Colts lost was the same reason why they have lost every other season and why other "great" qb's never win titles. Peyton, no matter how good he is, has a "stud" complex and that never bolds well at that position. So what do you get? Several of their teams early last decade that had far more talent were held back because of Peyton's need to show im the "stud" and throw the ball 40+ times a game and they lost in the playoffs for that reason. The only time he won a title was when he got out of the way and managed the game properly. Take Tommy Brady for ex., the guy has a weak arm and tends to throw pics in big games but when the Pats used him to simply manage the game they won 3 SB's and the year he was to carry the team he couldn't get it done. The fact is QB's don't win games they lose them and if you don't have an organization set up to control their ego you wont win consistently in the playoffs. So no, don't fault Jim Caldwell he's not the guy that checks out of running plays at the line and on a key third down push the ball down the field instead of taking 5 yards on a check down(I wanted to kick Peyton's butt after they missed the field goal) and setting your kicker up for a solid attempt. It was not Jim Caldwell that had several bad throws, before the Int., or that stared down Reggie Wayne. Fault Peyton and the Colts as an organization for not controlling his ego! If you don't believe me look at the difference between the careers of these qb's. Elway- Didn't win until they decided to run Marino- Never ran the ball and never won because of it Favre- Only was great when Holmgren was able to keep him in check *They need a great D- This notion of getting their defense far better is hogwash! The cap doesn't allow complete teams anymore and the only thing they can do is help the D out by limiting their time on the field.
well i wouldnt say who will get the gatorade shower cuzz they havnt won yet im a colts fan and i dont like it when u say there gunna win i want to see the game 1st got dat

Neither because they are going to loose. Sean Peyton will probably get it when the Saints win.

lol. It's obviously going to be the coach who gets the Gatorade shower. I hope Peyton has Gatorade-proof clothes on after the game...

Peyton Manning's going to take the Gatorade Jug over to the ESPN broadcasting booth and dump it on Tony Dungy's head.
- 1 decade ago
Peyton Manning. Although he'll probably be too smart for it and just hit the ground in the fetal position.
- KINGLv 61 decade ago
Don't count saints out so easily. Brees is the real deal. Should be a tight game as long as the saints can contain (not stop) Manning.

The Waa-Mu Show
Group: Virginia Wadsworth Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts
Category: Fine Arts
Dear Supporters,
As you know, due to COVID-19 we were unable to have our traditional live performance of The Waa-Mu Show in Cahn Auditorium to continue The Waa-Mu Show tradition. However, we are very excited to share a link to the virtual final reading presentation we held of "State of the Art," The 89th Waa-Mu Show in May for our families, faculty and mentors.
Since 1929, The Waa-Mu Show has been a cornerstone at Northwestern, a tradition that has stood the test of time. Until now, The Waa-Mu Show has only been disrupted due to World War II. The current state of the world truly tested the saying "the show must go on" and we are pleased we succeeded in delivering the first of its kind The Waa-Mu Show presentation.
We are grateful and proud we did not abandon our primary mission to educate the vanguard of new music theatre artists. Our team completed our final script and score through virtual workshop rehearsals, thus preserving the process we all value so deeply, even if the product did not culminate with a live performance with an in-person audience. We hope you enjoy this recorded reading.
We have been overwhelmed by the commitment and bravery of the Waa-Mu community throughout this shifting process and we cannot thank you enough for supporting this production in all of its forms. We raise a toast to all the Waa-Mu shows past who have gotten us to where we are today, and we are optimistic for all the Waa-Mu magic yet to come.
With lots of Waa-love,
The Co-Chairs
Emma Griffone, Leo Jared Scheck, Jon Toussaint, and Olivia Worley
"State of the Art" follows a covert group of artists vandalizing world-renowned pieces of street art in a not-so-distant future metropolis. When the mayor's misfit child crosses paths with the vandals, the city elite find themselves caught between their dream for the city to take its place on the national stage and the truth behind these young citizens' acts of resistance.

Austin rockabilly vocalist Marti Brom's career over the past decade has proceeded in fits and starts mainly because of her emphasis on family over career. However, over the past couple of years, Brom's releases have come far more regularly, particularly with 1998's "Mean!" and this year's "Lassooed Live." And thankfully so.
Backed this time by Finnish rockabilly outfit the Barnshakers (with Austin pianist T Jarrod Bonta along for the ride), Brom reminds listeners why she is, quite simply, the finest female rockabilly vocalist of her generation. Kicking things off with "Blue Tattoo," a top-drawer Ray Price-type shuffle, Brom and the Barnshakers deliver a mixture of hillbilly ("This Is Love, Not Liquor"), traditional country ("You Put It There"), rockabilly (a ferocious cover of Joyce Green's "Black Cadillac") and even a couple of torch songs in the tradition of Patsy Cline ("Lovesick Clown" and "Cry to Me Baby"), to whom Brom is probably most frequently compared.
The fact is that she's so far ahead of her contemporaries that it's harder and harder to see her limiting herself to an inherently limited format such as rockabilly. The trick in the future is going to be in focusing on a direction that will put her on the path to the career album that she clearly has in her. (Goofin' USA, Box 160011, Austin, TX 78716)

From July 2016, students from School of Finance of Wenzhou Business College, Zhejiang, China, have spontaneously organized "ten hundred thousand" startup survey summer social practice team to make investigation on university students' innovative undertaking in Zhejiang China. Ten members' team has investigated hundreds of emprises an acquired thousands of research data. Thus named as "ten hundred thousand" practice team, in a short time it has received strong support from hundreds of start-up enterprises in Zhejiang and extensive praise from the society. Currently the work has entered into data analysis stage.
During the data analysis stage, students from School of Finance use professional knowledge based on statistical dichotomy method entry into computer, and make modeling quantitative analysis on data obtained based on econometrics and financial engineering to analyze various impact factors of startup and correlation between each other. Looking at the forms filled of numbers 0 and number 1, team members joked that, they were taking an action of "decoding". Later, they would compose investigation reports based on conclusions contributing to local government for suggestions and recommendations.
It is reported that, after G20 Hangzhou summit, concept of "Green Finance, Innovation and Entrepreneurship" has won support by the society and attracted a large amount of ambitious undergraduates to join in the uprising wave of startup. These "Startup decoders'" activities reflect Chinese college students' high social-responsibility standards, worthy of students in world universities to study for reference. Meanwhile, hope they move forward further and further along the road of combining theory with practice.

Q Gen: Kampua 干拌面 noodles!
You probably know about kolo mee from Sarawak but have you heard of "kampua" mee (干盘面)? Kampua noodles are specialty of Sibu and is essentially the straight version of kolo mee. Like kolo mee, it is made without the addition of "kee" or alkali so the texture and the flavour of the noodles are quite different from our local mee kia.

I was grumpy this morning, like most. But while I pouted and hurried and tried to do all the things, Andrew stood in the middle of the kitchen floor, giggling about his jeans shrinking, pointed to his backside and declared (in his best five-year-old voice) "Look, now they hug my bum!" For every ugly, angry-at-the-world comment I had to make, he had silliness and joy enough to cover it. By the time I left for work, he'd broken me down, butterfly-kissing me out the door.
I was thinking about this fraction of my day, this minute–easily forgotten–moment in a lifetime, when I realized I was communing with God as much as Andrew. That it was God, incarnate in the body and soul of Andrew, who I'd actually encountered. For days and days and days, I've prayed away my anger, asking God to come and crush it–then suddenly! he was there in my kitchen, alive as ever. And I can only figure he's been there all along, if only I'd had the eyes to recognize him.
I think this is often (if not always) the presence of God among us, embodied in our sphere of direct contact. I refuse to believe he is a distant God, but so present and full of love as to meet me by the refrigerator wearing the face of my husband. Right here. Waiting to commune with us, if we will stop long enough to let it happen. If we will pay attention, baring open hearts and reverence for every tiny thing.
Hear it as Barbara Brown Taylor describes:
"Reverence may take all kinds of forms, depending on what it is that awakens awe in you by reminding you of your true size. As I learned on that night of falling stars in Ohio, nature is a good place to start. Nature is full of things bigger and more powerful than human beings, including but limited to night skies, oceans, thunderstorms, deserts, grizzly bears, earthquakes, and rain-swollen rivers.
But size is not everything. Properly attended to, even a saltmarsh mosquito is capable of evoking reverence. See those white and black striped stockings on legs thinner than a needle? Where in those legs is there room for knees? And yet see how they bend, as the bug lowers herself to your flesh. Soon you and she will be blood kin. Your itch is the price of her life. Swat her if you must, but not without telling her she is beautiful first.
The easiest practice of reverence I know is simply to sit down somewhere outside, preferably near a body of water, and pay attention for at least twenty minutes. It is not necessary to take on the whole world at first. Just take the three square feet of earth on which you are sitting, paying close attention to everything that lives within that small estate. You might even decide not to kill anything for twenty minutes, including the saltmarsh mosquito that lands on your arm. Just blow her away and ask her please to go find someone else to eat.
With any luck, you will soon begin to see the souls in pebbles, ants, small mounds of moss, and the acorn on its way to becoming an oak tree. You may feel some tenderness for the struggling mayfly the ants are carrying away. If you can see the water, you may take time to wonder where it came from and where it is going. You may even feel the beating of your own heart, that miracle of ingenuity that does its work with no thought or instruction from you. You did not make your heart, any more than you made a tree. You are a guest here. You have been given a free pass to this modest domain and everything in it.
If someone walks by or speaks to you, you may find that your power of attentiveness extends to this person as well. Even if you do not know him, you may be able to see his soul too, the one he thinks he has so carefully covered up. There is something he is working on in his life, same way you are working on something. Can you see it in his face? You are related, even if you do not know each other's names."
(pg 22-23, An Alter in the World)
May you take these words within you, and allow them to renew the eyes of your heart.

Meghan Markle's father Thomas has once again urged the Duchess to contact him, as he's "done nothing wrong".
The Duchess of Sussex hasn't spoken to her father since she married Prince Harry last May, and now the 74-year-old is pleading for her to give him a call.
In a new interview with The Sun, Thomas said, "The royals and Meghan can help end this nightmare by simply giving me a call. To this day, I cannot think of anything I've done to deserve how I'm being treated now."
"I've been a good father I've done nothing wrong. Axe murderers kill 19 people and their daughters still come and visit them in prison. It's just incomprehensible for Meghan to treat me this way."
Thomas was supposed to walk Meghan down the aisle at Windsor Castle back in May, but a mere two weeks before their big day – it was revealed that Thomas had worked with a photographer to stage paparazzi photos.
The revelation was a huge scandal at the time, and Thomas ended up pulling out of the wedding after suffering a heart attack.
While recovering in hospital, Meghan's father allegedly had a row with Prince Harry on the phone, which resulted in Thomas hanging up on him.
Looking back, Thomas admitted that he's made mistakes, but added, "Man up and get over it. If I'm the first person who's insulted you or hurt your feelings, you've got a long way to go."
"He's human just like the rest of us. I feel that he feels he is above everyone else and that he has a right to talk down to people. And I cannot accept that. It feels like arrogance."
The former lighting director continued, "I've been quiet long enough. If they ever want to speak to me, maybe I'll quieten down a little bit. But in the meantime I'm not going to become a monk in a monastery and take a vow of silence."
"The bottom line is that I've done nothing to deserve this kind of treatment. I cannot cut my tongue out and never speak again. I can't shut up because they have opened the door for a million people to criticise me and my family."
Meghan's dad also addressed his daughter's rumoured rift with her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton.
"If there is any animosity between Meghan and Kate they should put their differences aside. I'm very upset by the criticism Meghan is getting," he said.
"I don't think she deserves it and I don't think she is doing one third of the things she is being accused of doing. I'm not buying that she made Kate cry. First off, I think Kate is a stronger woman than that.
"I think Kate also knows she is in a stronger power position than Meghan is. Kate's the hero mother. I can't see her being that weak. No woman is who pops out a kid then walks out of hospital the same day," he said.
"I don't think she's afraid of anyone. And I don't believe that Meghan is trying to hurt her in any shape or form. But at the moment I cannot call Meghan and say 'What is going on? How can I help you?'
"I need to know what the hell is happening and why it is happening. I need to know why she is being bashed every day."
Thomas concluded the interview by revealing he wants to write a book "about the good years" with his daughter and his "fond memories of her growing up".
He added, "I miss Meghan a lot. She was a big part of my life up until she met Harry. But I don't want pity. I remember my beautiful daughter from the time she was born.
"If she called me right now I would simply say 'How have you been? I am glad to hear from you'."

New Sensibilities
Tom Fereday returns with an exclusive furniture collection
"I try to convey an honest design process that celebrates the materials and manufacturing processes behind the product instead of hiding them away," says renowned Australian designer Tom Fereday of his process. Now the winner of Lane Crawford's 2018 Sydney Creative Call Out has brought this approach to the Crawford collection, a range of furniture created exclusively for Lane Crawford and launched at Salone del Mobile in Milan just this April.
The collection, comprising a lounge chair, bed, dining chair and a range of tables, celebrates Asian sensibilities while reinterpreting them for an international audience. "Crawford is a considered range with subtle design details and a focus on honest materials and longevity of design," says Fereday.
But more than this, the collection also represents the fusion of cultures that has become characteristic of the growing design movement in Asia Pacific. To realise Fereday's vision, Lane Crawford paired the designer with Stellar Works, a manufacturer at the nexus of Asian design and global sensibility. "We're delighted to launch Crawford, and excited that it will become part of our core collection," says Stellar Works founder and CEO Yuichiro Hori.
According to Fereday, he and Stellar Works developed the collection "with integrity and longevity in mind, and with sustainability as fundamental", from the materials, such as FSC-certified timber and natural fabrics, through to design features like the removable steel frames and the manufacturing process. Indeed, the Crawford collection's sustainability credentials are matched only by its simple elegance.
Tom Fereday will be in Hong Kong to launch his global exclusive collection at Lane Crawford Pacific Place home store on May 9.

Meet Synalpheus pinkfloydi – the crustacean that has been named after one of the rock and roll's most popular bands. A team of researchers discovered a strikingly bright pink-clawed species of pistol shrimp off the Pacific coast of Panama and decided to name it after the famous English psychedelic group Pink Floyd.
The discovery was published in Biotaxa's 12 April issue, and the creature was named after the team's favourite musicians. "I often play Pink Floyd as background music while I'm working, but now the band and my work have been happily combined in the scientific literature," lead author Arthur Anker of the Federal University of Ceará, Brazil, said.
Study co-author Sammy De Grave, head of research at Oxford University Museum of National History, also explained that he has been a fan of the band since The Wall was released in 1979, when he was 14 years old.
"I've seen them play live several times since, including the Hyde Park reunion gig for Live8 in 2005. The description of this new species of pistol shrimp was the perfect opportunity to finally give a nod to my favourite band," he said in the university's blog More Than A Dodo.
Its hue is not the only connection between the iconic British band Pink Floyd and its namesake. The Synalpheus pinkfloydi is a member of the pistol or snapping shrimp species that can generate sonic energy powerful enough to stun or kill its prey. The shrimp's ability to produce one of the loudest sounds in the ocean comes from its enlarged claw. The shrimp closes its claw at a rapid speed, creating a high-pressure cavitation bubble. The bubble's explosion creates the sound, which can reach up to 210 decibels.
The band have a reputation for playing at extremely loud volumes – a tradition that led to a rumour that the noise killed all the fish in a nearby pond. While the story turned out to be false, and the fish died from smoke flares that were set off underwater, the comparison with the shrimp still holds strong.
These famously named pistol shrimp are closely-related to the Synalpheus antillensis, which were first studied in 1909 after being discovered in the western Atlantic, including the Caribbean side of Panama. But the authors of the new paper have pointed out that the sister-species, while similar looking, show considerable genetic divergence.
Following news of the naming, Life Collections Manager at Oxford University Museum of Natural History, Mark Carnall designed a collection of Pink Floyd album covers re-imagined with the shrimp, as did museum educator Chris Jarvis and Kate Pocklington.

A federal judge's decision to allow a securities fraud class-action lawsuit against the former officers and directors of Lehman Brothers to move forward means that tab for legal fees for the defendants will continue to grow. At some point, the insurance pool that pays for the lawyers will be exhausted, at which point the individuals will be on the hook for their legal fees and any settlement payments from litigation related to the firm.
In his opinion last week, the judge, Lewis A. Kaplan in Federal District Court in Manhattan, rejected a motion to dismiss claims by investors against Lehman's former directors and senior officers, including the firm's former chief executive, Richard S. Fuld Jr.; former president, Joseph M. Gregory, and three of its former chief financial officers, Christopher M. O'Meara, Erin Callan and Ian Lowitt.
The complaint focuses on the so-called Repo 105 transactions by which Lehman was able to move liabilities off its balance sheet at the end of each quarter to make it appear the company was not as heavily leveraged as it was. Judge Kaplan found that the allegations in the complaint sufficiently provided evidence of the defendants' intent, or scienter, to mislead shareholders about the company's precarious financial situation in the months leading up to its collapse into bankruptcy on Sept. 15, 2008.
The securities fraud claims involved enough red flags to establish an inference of scienter about the misleading character of the Repo 105 transactions, even though Lehman's outside auditor, Ernst & Young, had approved the accounting for them. The court explained that "[r]ed flags may exist if the complaint alleges the existence of transactions that were large, recurrent, timed near the end of a reporting period, and obviously lacking in business purpose. This may be true even if the registrant's outside auditor has opined that the company's financial statements were presented in accordance with GAAP," or generally accepted accounting principles.
Judge Kaplan dismissed some claims against Ernst & Young for its role in the Repo 105 transactions, but did allow a securities fraud allegation regarding its role in Lehman's financial statements in the final quarters before the bankruptcy. The accountants also face separate civil charges filed by the New York attorney general regarding its role in approving the Repo 105 transactions.
Much of the class-action complaint was built on the findings in a report filed by the bankruptcy trustee, Anton R. Valukas, in March 2010. The report described in great detail how Lehman used increasingly large Repo 105 transactions to dress up its balance sheet. The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Justice Department have also been investigating Lehman's financial statements and public disclosures, but there does not appear to be any impending charges from those agencies.
Judge Kaplan's rejection of the motion to dismiss the class-action claims came at a preliminary stage of the case, when all the court considered was the complaint. That decision, which the defendants are likely to appeal, opens the case up for depositions of Lehman's officers and directors named in the suit, along with extensive document production, as the case now moves into the discovery phase.
Lehman bought $250 million of directors and officers insurance to cover the costs of legal fees and settlements for conduct from 2007 to 2008, and the same amount covering 2008 to 2009. While that sounds like quite a bit of money, the plaintiffs in the class action bought approximately $31 billion in Lehman securities, far outdistancing what the insurance could ever cover. With the firm in bankruptcy, any hope of a significant recovery from it for securities violations is quite low.
According to a recent filing in Federal Bankruptcy Court, $70 million to $85 million in insurance coverage has already been used for legal fees and other settlements. Another $15 million from the insurers will be paid to US Airways as the result of an arbitration award related to the Lehman's sales of auction-rate securities.
The New Jersey Department of the Treasury, which is pursuing its own claim against Lehman in a separate case that was stayed because of the bankruptcy, objected to payment of the $15 million arbitration award. It argued that the firm's insurance coverage is gradually being whittled away, and that nothing may be left as more fees are charged and awards paid, apparently on a first-come, first-served basis.
The bankruptcy court rejected that argument, approving the $15 million payment on July 20 on behalf of the former Lehman employees. That means nearly $100 million in insurance coverage has been used up, with no end in sight to the claims.
With the class-action case moving forward, the legal fees for the defendants will now consume even more of the directors and officers insurance, making less available for any eventual payout if the case is settled.
Each Lehman officer has separate counsel, all from leading law firms, along with the directors who are represented by another firm. As discovery progresses, the legal fees are likely to increase significantly because the parties have to prepare for the possibility that the case will go to trial.
While there is no easy way to estimate the costs being incurred, it is certainly possible for the billings to exceed $10 million during discovery. If charges appear from the S.E.C. or the Justice Department, then the legal costs will escalate even more quickly.
As long as the lawyers can tap the insurance policies, there is an incentive to use as much as possible for the benefit of the officers, because once the coverage is exhausted there is no other readily available pool of money. Lehman is in bankruptcy, so any claim on the company for an officer's legal fees would be treated like that of any other unsecured creditor. In other words, don't hold your breath because the bills are unlikely to be paid.
