The start of a new year always brings out the best and brightest wishes from our peers. The word resolution is almost cliché around the 31st of December and 1st January of any given calendar year. It's the time where we hope to start a fresh and complete goals we have set for our self during the next eleven months.
Some of us pick out a few daunting tasks to complete while others stick to a more realistic plan that they can complete within a reasonable amount of time and of course the desired work rate. However, lately it would seem that resolutions, are like promises; that is if you know the old saying – "promises are meant to be broken".
The year is only at day number twelve and as laughable as it may sound, many people are already looking forward to January 1st 2020 as the year they will complete or stick to their New Year's resolution. The most popular resolution, losing weight or hitting the gym, is forgotten on the third day of January like the rides that were once the highlights of Assou Square.
This made me brainstorm a little with a friend of mine. Why are we so eager to jump into a new year with all of those great ideas and plans, only to have them cast aside like a sack of potatoes?
Now, if you have friends like mine you know that before you get an answer, there is a long history class you have to attend. I will spare ya'll the trip down memory lane though and get right into the belly of the beast.
Resolutions made without any thought or proper plan seldom yield results. That is because you hardly envisaged the struggles one will face on the road to change. So while it may sound exciting to lose 15 pounds by July or hit the gym with your friends every three days in the week, you never allocated the struggle it would be for you to change your eating habits or wake up early every morning to do the weekly pump.
I do have good news though, it's not too late to properly plan your New Year's resolution. In fact, you can take the entire weekend to put together your success plan for 2019; and guess what? It doesn't have to be working out, losing weight or becoming rich. It can be something as simple as being nice to your neighbour.
Have a great weekend ya'll and God bless.

In the last Civics 101 post, I discussed the basics of U.S. civics, including the foundations of the U.S. Government and the U.S. System of Government. And as we discussed, the U.S. Government has 3 branches. Today's post will focus the executive branch.Continue reading

Let's Talk About Civics: The Basics
Last week, I introduced my new Monday series: Let's Talk About Civics. This series will be an ongoing conversation about civics, including how the U.S. Government works and the rights and duties of U.S. citizens.
To start off the series, today's post is about civics fundamentals. A civics 101 if you will. This post focuses on the foundation of the U.S. Government (what ideas lay the foundation of the government) and the basics of the U.S. Government system.
For most of you who attended an American school, this is rather basic information you (hopefully) learned at some point. But we need to understand the basics before discussing the rights and obligations. And I hope this makes us all take another look at our government as well as generates some good conversation.Continue reading
Let's Talk About Civics
Over the past few national election cycles and now with the federal government shutdown, I have been dishearted to hear and read the misinformation, and lack of information, on how our government works. I've also been a bit horrified to read how people don't understand our rights and duties as citizens, as well as how some elected officials are actively working to prevent or discourage citizens from exercising their democratic rights.Continue reading

King roots anchor local band Elmer's Lane
By Mark Pavilons
"Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key,
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mm going to try with a little help from my friends ..."
When close friends get together, fun usually ensues.
When friends with talent combine forces, the results can be amazing.
Members of King-rooted Elmer's Lane have known one another since high school. Theirs is a bond that has not only withstood the test of time, but has grown, matured and evolved into a musical ensemble that you have to witness to believe.
Hot off a well received performance at the successful King City Craft Beer and Food Truck Festival, band members have no visions of grandeur of playing to thousands of screaming fans. They definitely deserve it, and have the talent to back it up, but for them it's all about passion for music and lifelong friendship.
They've built upon a solid foundation and the largely self-taught musicians have honed their gifts. It would seem to be a no-brainer, but the relationship and on-stage magic they create through Elmer's Lane has only come together in the last three years.
Maybe it was fate or destiny that brought everything full circle and resulted in the current lineup.
There are no egos to bruise and everyone shines, sharing the spotlight and responsibilities. They have each other's backs in every sense.
While they all boast decades of experience, it has all led to the basement of one member's home, where they meet and rehearse every Friday. To them, TGIF takes on a whole new meaning.
Elmer's Lane consists of Ken Ceh (bass and vocals), Charlie Meadus (drums and vocals), Rob Tully (vocals, percussion and harmonica), Romano (Mano) Del Tin (vocals and rhythm guitar), Joan Del Tin (vocals and tambourine) and Tony Lebar (lead guitar). Combined, they could write a book about their musical experiences and evolution since the 1970s. Their roots are like the very roots of classic and southern rock – raw, emotional expression.
It was a reunion at King City Secondary School that brought them together again.
Lebar was the last to join Elmer's Lane and now the circle of friends is complete. He feels honoured to have been asked to complement the group.
Members bring each other up and it shows during their high-caliber performances. Forget what misconceptions you may have about "local bands," Elmer's Lane could compete with the best.
It's because of their varied interests, styles and personalities that make them smooth, almost flawless. You feel it. The crowd at the King City Festival was on their feet moving to the beat. Drawing upon material from the Doobie Brothers, Neil Young and Led Zeppelin to The Guess Who, Genesis and Kim Mitchell, the band puts a new spin on some old favourites. They can play jazzy blues to country rock with ease, and slip into some hard rock.
This is a band with multiple singers, all of whom step up to the microphone to shine.
They are constantly trying new material, pushing the envelope and feeling good.
They currently perform at Wild Wing in Holland Landing and have played at parties, get-togethers and charity fundraisers.
They're not it in for the money and everything they get is put back into equipment.
They will continue doing more of the same, while building their repertoire of originals, bringing new material to the surface. Members are feeling better now than when they were in their 20s, and with renewed passion.
Mano said they'll play as long as they can, until they're old and grey. "There's no end to this," he says with a smile.
It's all about friendship and roots in King City. The name refers to a spot popular with teens in the 1970s and there are calls to name a new subdivision street in King Elmer's Lane. "It represents us well," Mano said.
Close ties. Fun times and hugs all around.
Not what you'd expect from seasoned rockers. But it's what you expect from close friends.

Xenonex Coaches ask Which Skill Do You Want to Develop Next?
Most of us know that success in today's working world requires continuous growth and learning. You can't just rely on your current knowledge and expertise if you expect to keep up, let alone advance. Given all the ways in which organisations and jobs are changing, figuring out which new skills to develop and when to develop them can be hard.
This edited version of an article by coach and author Erika Andersen looks at how as coaches we can help our coachees and their teams identify the areas in which development efforts will yield the best return on investment.
First, look for the overlap between what your organisation needs and what will give you the most satisfaction. If you're in operations, you might identify several business-critical areas for improvement — say, learning to better manage large custom client projects in order to significantly reduce cycle and delivery times.
Next, think about whether you can excel at the capabilities you want to develop. If you're already very organised, that bodes well for being able to learn complex project management.
Finally, honestly assess how interested you are in the capabilities. The key is to focus on skills that will propel your organisation forward, play to your strengths, and keep you passionate about learning.
Xenonex is an approved ILM Centre and is recognised for the quality and standard of its training in the National ILM Hall of Fame. The Xenonex team trains internal and external coaches and has experience of developing and embedding coaching within the public and private sector.

Why Small Businesses Can't Afford to Ignore Basic IT Security Steps
Is your small business taking steps to protect your IT network? If not, you aren't alone:
Sound like you?
We know that thinking about cyber security isn't most people's idea of fun. It's easy to avoid having a serious conversation about what your business needs to do to stay safe – until it's suddenly too late and you've found yourself knee-deep in a potentially business-destroying crisis.
Think that won't happen to your business?
We'd all like to believe we'll never be impacted by cyber crime. The truth, however, is quite the opposite:
- 60% of targeted cyber-attacks hit small and medium sized businesses.
- Nearly 60% of small businesses will be forced to close within 6 months of being a victim of cybercrime.

Bill Nye predicts today's youth will change the world
Bill Nye, the science educator who may be best known for his '90s PBS show "Bill Nye the Science Guy," has a lot of faith in the generation coming of age in the next few years.
"The example I give is these students in Parkland, Florida. It's awful that people got shot. But people that age are going to change the world," he said in a brief interview Tuesday after his speech as the guest of honor for Planned Parenthood of South Texas' annual fundraising luncheon. "They're not going to put up with this stuff any more.
"Bill predicts! Bill predicts that in two presidential cycles, when those people are of age, there'll be sweeping changes. In the example of climate change denial or contrarianism, whatever you call it, it's almost exclusively old people. Only now and then do you meet a young person that's a climate change denier. And so, when those people are outnumbered by young voters, things are gonna change."
Climate change — including the evidence that explosive population growth is a major factor driving it — was one of the topics he brought up in his speech, which he delivered to a packed house of 1,200 Planned Parenthood supporters at the Marriott Rivercenter.
He also spoke of the importance of scientific understanding and of the strangeness of living in a time in which that has to be expressed. He noted that the Constitution includes a reference to science in the long list of powers afforded to Congress in Article 1, Section 8, stating that it can "promote the progress of science and useful arts."
"The guys who wrote this document realized the value of science," Nye said. "The thing that gets me about it is how fast things change."
He doesn't often speak to Planned Parenthood groups, he said afterward, though he has addressed reproductive rights on occasion, and he made a few references to the topic in his talk.
And he encouraged the audience to look into and take steps toward using clean energy, predicting a future in which wind turbines cast shadows over Texas oil fields.
He ended by flashing an image on the video screens in the ballroom reading "Let's change the world," sparking a standing ovation and loud cheers.
"I am inspired," said Jeffrey Hons, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood South Texas, when he stepped back up to the podium after Nye's talk. "I want to make this planet a better place, and we are starting right here."
Nye's interests also extend beyond this planet. He talked a bit in his speech about the Planetary Society, which he now serves as CEO. Among other things, the group advocates for space exploration, including the search for life on other planets.
"If we were to find evidence of life elsewhere, it would change the course of history," he said during the post-luncheon interview.
If life were discovered somewhere out in the cosmos beyond Earth, he said, a slew of questions would need to be explored: "Does it have DNA? Is it like us? Was Mars hit by an impactor 3 billion years ago, Martian life was tossed into space and fell here to Earth and you and I are descendents of Martians? That's extraordinary. But it's not impossible. It's worth investigating."
The idea of living on Mars has zero appeal to him.
"Those people that want to go settle on Mars have not thought it through," he said. "It's cold. There is no food. There's hardly any water. And you can't breathe. You will notice that immediately. It's a drag."
That doesn't mean he wouldn't want to visit.
"I'd go to space as long as I could come backs safely," he said. "It's like the early days of flying — the taking off was cool; the landing wasn't always great. So we'll see. I'm sure it will be possible."

It's Friday tomorrow so now is as good a time as any to get into the habit of posting a summary of the weekends movie releases and goings on. I'll be watching some movies no doubt, but for me the biggest thing that's going down is the series finale of Battlestar Galactica.
I was chatting on email with one of my editors who was telling me he'd finally decided that he'd like to check it out after reading this article over at The Guardian. My response was "Let me just tell you that I consider BSG as one of the pinnacles of intelligent television. It most certainly is right up there with The Wire for it's political enquiry and grit, on par with Lost for mystery, alongside 24 for action and in a league of its own for philosophical wondering." I'm find myself both nervous, excited and sad about this particular swansong probably even more so than I was with The Wire, mainly because I was late to that small screen party.
For those of you looking for something of the cinematic variety, these here are the films out this weekend in Australia. If you've got any suggestions for movie viewing of your own after the weekend why not leave a comment, someone will read it...
Directed by Fernando City Of God Meirelles I've heard quite mixed things about this one. Could be an interesting movie conceptually, but as I understand it narratively it doesn't quite work.
Walter Chaw at Film Freak Central pretty much hated it - "Blindness reveals itself at the end as having nothing much to say beyond the Lord of the Flies truism that men left to their own devices are no better than animals."
Peter Bradshaw at The Guardian loved it - "I disagree with the detractors. For me, Meirelles, along with screenwriter Don McKellar and cinematographer Cesar Charlone, have created an elegant, gripping and visually outstanding film."
You can read my review, which hopefully doesn't come off as a rant against leading lady Julia Roberts who I thought was dreadful. Otherwise the movie a dose of fun if you don't get bored trying to keep up. Clive Owen is good value.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop
Can't say this one strikes me as very appealing though it sounds like fairly inoffensive visual comedy.
Roger Ebert appreciates its wholesome quality - "It's as slam-bang preposterous as any R-rated comedy you can name. It's just that Paul Blart and the film's other characters don't feel the need to use the f-word as the building block of every sentence."
Eric D. Snider of Cinematical thought it was ok - "And this is definitely for young and/or undiscerning viewers, a simple comedy, not unpleasant but not particularly funny, either."
Two Fists One Heart
This one caught me by surprise, a really solid Aussie sports drama that is visually lovely and tugs the old heart strings. Well worth checking out.
Tomorrow I'm heading down to Dendy Opera Quays to check out a print of Casablanca which is playing as part of the Young At Heart film festival. I've never seen it on the big screen so I can't tell you how excited I am. Casablanca is one of the reasons I fell in love with cinema, that's entirely cliche but I don't care. I adore this movie. This 'quick' post I was putting together is actually a little longer than I expected it to be, so if you wanna check what else is playing as part of Young At Heart click here.
And finally I just saw the trailer for Sam Mendes new movie Away We Go, which looks fantastic. Mendes it seems has made a little American indie-esque road movie that fits the Focus Features mould perfectly.

Nathan Bautista's performance of Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" also made the three coaches dance and sing along. After the performance, an overwhelmed Lea Salonga even jumped off her seat to hug the boy. "Galing mo kumanta for someone so young! Galing ng tainga mo, galing ng rhythm mo... parang ikaw talaga yung lider ng banda," Salonga said. Coach Sarah Geronimo thought Bautista's voice was very impressive for his age. "Nathan ang cute, cute, cute mo! Pero hindi cute ang galing mo, halimaw yung galing mo sa pagkanta e!" she exclaimed. The 8-year-old said his dad Jonathan, a former singer of a rock band, has been the biggest influence in his singing skills. Bautista's mom, Lyn, said she discovered the voice of her son when he was just 11 months old as they were humming along the melody of a song. Coach Bamboo Mañalac, who believes he is the right coach for Bautista because of his interest in rock music, thought the boy's performance was all natural. "Ganda ng performance mo, napaka-natural mo, wala kang ginagaya. You sounded like your age, nakakatuwa lang," Mañalac said. All three coaches begged Bautista to choose them, but in the end, the boy chose Coach Bamboo. Bautista, who admitted he experiences stage fright when his parents are not around, said he joined "The Voice Kids" to show his God-given talent in singing. Aside from Bautista, Mañalac also recruited two others-- 14-year-old Junmark Armecin and 12-year-old Zack Tabudlo. Geronimo, meanwhile, scored only one recruit, while Salonga had none. "The Voice Kids," hosted by Luis Manzano and Alex Gonzaga, airs Saturdays at 6:45 p.m. and on Sundays at 7:30 p.m. Share Save Facebook Share on Twitter LinkedIn Entertainment,Top Stories,Editor's Pick,Bamboo,Journey,Bamboo manalac,don't stop believin',the voice kids,team bamboo,kristv,Nathan Bautista Read More: Bamboo Journey Bamboo manalac don't stop believin' the voice kids team bamboo Nathan Bautista

Style: Milk/Sweet Stout
USDA Organic
From: Tadcaster, United Kingdom (England)
Brewer's Note: "Brewed with well water (the original well, sunk in 1758, is still in use with the hard water is drawn from 85 feet underground), the gently roasted organic chocolate malt and organic cocoa impart a delicious, smooth and creamy character, with inviting deep flavours and a delightful finish – this is the perfect marriage of satisfying stout and luxurious chocolate."
The beer's label is very old fashioned looking, as are all Samuel Smith's labels, but it does seem to work. This label is far too cluttered, and the text on the bottom is really boring and bland compared with the rest of the label. I love the weird flower thing that is on the cap and at the top of the label, but the things in the middle of the label are a little boring. Overall, this label is definitely worth scrapbooking, but is not quite up to my standard of shelf space.
The beer pours a dark muddy brown, and sits in the glass as black with a very dirty white/tan head full of rocky bubbles that sit at about a quarter of a fingers' width. In the light this beer has a dark murky body with a mahogany hue. The beer's lacing is thin and slippery dry, leaving splotches of foam on the sides of the glass. On the nose, the beer smells of chocolate cocoa powder with a caramelly, milk chocolate smoothness to the smell. There is also a very faint tartness to the back of the smell as well as a touch of creamy coffee and roasted malt. On the tongue, the beer tastes sweetly rich and creamy with milk chocolate goodness. The taste begins with sweet and slightly tart chocolate covered raisins, though the fruit flavor is light. This opens into warm and rich milk chocolate flavors with touches of roast and sweet creamy caramel. The finish is long with the creamy chocolate and caramel and though the after taste is very light with roast malt and a watery feeling. On the mouth, the beer feels medium in body with a bit of a thicker finish. It is rich and creamy and velvety on the tongue. The mouth is left clean, coated with a slight sticky sweetness. Overall, this beer is delicious. This is the first chocolate beer I can comfortably say that they have nailed the chocolate flavor on. I've liked others. This beer perfects it. Creamy milk chocolate with some lovely subtleties and complexities. This beer is a must try.

Just saw that Hewlett Packard is acquiring 3Com for deal valued at around $2.7 billion.
3Com will also provide Hewlett Packard with its TippingPoint portfolio which is a network security system.
From TechCrunch:
HP says the acquisition will further its data center strategy "built on the convergence of servers, storage, networking, management, facilities and services." The acquisition of 3Com also help to expand HP's Ethernet switching offerings, add routing solutions and significantly strengthen the company's position in China thanks to 3Com's strong presence in China.
From CNNMoney.com:
3Com took in $1.3 billion in revenue last year on its networking and securities solutions products. The Marlborough, Mass.-based company mostly does business with corporate clients, and its H3C networking unit is a market leader in China.
HP said it made the acquisition to expand its networking solutions offerings and to "significantly strengthen the company's position in China."
Over the past year, HP has increased its services and business solutions business exponentially, catapulted by its $13.9 billion acquisition of services firm EDS last year.
From InformationWeek:
3Com will bring a wide-ranging portfolio of network switching, routing and security solutions to HP. The technology will boost HP's already potent networking offerings, which are centered in HP Procurve.
"By acquiring 3Com, we are accelerating the execution of our converged infrastructure strategy and bringing disruptive change to the networking industry, HP executive vice president Dave Donatelli said in a statement.
HP's converged infrastructure architecture, announced Nov. 4, essentially creates a one-stop data-center shop. It packages HP's compute, storage, networking offerings into a highly virtualized bundle which can be centrally managed.
That move came shortly after Cisco linked up with EMC and VMware in a partnership which tightly integrates storage alongside easy-to-manage virtualized data-center bundles called V-Blocks.

Forward From the Sea: Journey of a Black Woman Oceanographer and Engineer
by Joy Carter Minor
Joy Carter Minor is no stranger to a tough fight. As a black female oceanographer and engineer, she faced down opposition and entrenched obstruction at every turn of her upward career. Despite it, she carved out a definition for herself and her beliefs on her terms, always moving forward.
Unflinching, uncompromising, and unapologetic, Forward From the Sea boldly challenges the belief that America, especially its government, runs by the rules of meritocracy, where only the most qualified and best people get promotions, recognition, and a place in history.

South Africa captain Faf du Plessis felt Kagiso Rabada was "extremely unlucky" to end up on the losing side in a six-wicket Cricket World Cup defeat to India.
The Proteas were missing quicks Dale Steyn and Lungi Ngidi through injury, but Rabada briefly threatened to turn the tide on his own.
Rabada, who had earlier cracked Shikhar Dhawan's bat, dismissed the opener to bring opposition captain Virat Kohli to the crease.
The South Africa paceman had earlier suggested Kohli was "immature" and a gripping spell saw him work over the batsman without reward.
Rabada ended up claiming 2-39 as Rohit Sharma made an unbeaten 122 in India's chase, leaving Du Plessis to rue his bowler's misfortune.
"[Rabada] was a champion today. He was extremely unlucky," the skipper said in the post-match presentation. "I've never seen so many balls fall in different areas.
"Sometimes, that's how the game goes. When you're not playing your best cricket, little 50-50 things go against you. We've got to try to make sure we turn those 50-50 towards us again.
"He was unbelievable again - and also Chris Morris, who hasn't played a lot of cricket for us, was excellent today."
The Proteas fought hard but it wasn't enough. They lost by six wickets in their third fixture of the #CWC19. #ProteaFire #SAvIND pic.twitter.com/ka0Hw81NxT

Du Plessis was far less impressed by his side's batting, suggesting South Africa needed a player to perform like Rohit did for India after the Proteas stumbled to 227-9.
"Today was, once again, a great example of guys not batting through," he said.
"That's what you need in England - you need one guy batting through and then, if you get a total, your bowlers can put some pressure on. To have so many 30s and 40s was not acceptable."
However, Du Plessis gave some credit to India's attack, led by Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal.
"I thought India were magnificent on a tough pitch," he said. "They bowled really well.
"Their bowling attack is strong - they've got all bases covered. They've got good fast bowling and then they've got spinners through the middle that always get wickets."

Topics in Feminist Anthropology/Advanced Topics in the Anthropology of Gender: Anth513/412 with Dr. Alexia Bloch.
In this course we will examine how the mobility of women and men in the 21st century brings about new forms of intimacy and social connection, as well as how emergent citizenship regimes regulate intimacy and transnational ties in new ways. Combining a focus on gender and emotion with the anthropology of globalization, this course will provide students with an understanding of how processes of globalization shape not only economies, but also arenas of love, intimacy, and mobility. Ethnographic research conducted in a number of locations, including China, Japan, Dubai, Turkey, and the former Soviet Union, form the backbone of this course which explores emerging theoretical work on transnational sex work, "modern" forms of love, and citizenship regimes.

This is a tricky one, you may have a teacher who mocks you or makes fun of you or teases you. If this occurs, overlook it, whilst you are studying with him. Do not let yourself dislike your teacher, concentrate on your subject and do not waver. If it is a subject that doesn't make a difference to your daily needs, in terms of knowledge, you may think about finding another teacher.
Or you could simply finish the text with that scholar and then find another teacher. To find another teacher may be more difficult than it may seem.
The best advice is to study with him and ignore his manners, unless it reaches a limit that it becomes common knowledge. So that he may be condemned by the average person.
Study hard and keep your work up, do not allow yourself to be distracted by anyone.
Knowledge is too precious to be distracted from by something small.
It is also important to note that the teacher may not think he is mocking you when he does. He may think it is funny and that you too are taking it as a joke as well.
Only consider leaving the teacher if you know he commits major wrong actions publicly and he doesn't repent openly. Also please note, you may have a teacher who is gossiped about, so check the stories you hear and don't take the persons word for it.
You may have students that are jealous of you and don't want you to study with that scholar, so beware of that as well.

2. or....am I screwed. Disable LPA and use something else like Authy?
Appreciate any help

I love the outfit I'm wearing here and I've actually worn it before. I wasn't able to take outfit shots then so when I found the time I decided to have my pictures taken. Thanks again to Kyle for taking my pictures! :] I'm wearing a leather jacket from Zara, bowler hat from Forever 21, dress from Singapore, polka dotted tights and booties from Charles & Keith. I don't really have a clear picture of my necklaces but I'm wearing the key-shaped pendant one from Kyle, a lady bug necklace from HK, and my lovely Eiffel Tower necklace from Forever 21.
Now about the title.. I know the stars on my dress are black, haha. I got it from a song by Tyler Hilton & Bethany Joy Lenz-Galeotti from One Tree Hill. It's a duet I always perform with Kyle when we're asked to sing, haha. It's our go-to song when we haven't had any practice. And though I love the song, I kind of want a new tune to sing, haha! We've been using that one for around 3 years already, I believe. So I guess you can now understand why I want a new song, haha. I have some in mind but we have no reason to sing yet so those can wait. What can't wait is the news I'll be sharing below so keep scrolling down! :]
Peek-a-boo! Accessories: lace fingerless glove from Forever 21, owl connector ring and fox ring from PLF, elephant ring and silver bangles from Belle York, studded bracelet from Target, Lego watch and Lego charm bracelet.
Close up of my rings
This was taken while I was accessorizing, haha.
My friend Danica Magpantay just won the Ford Supermodel of the World search in NY! It's the first time a Filipino has ever won (we've placed before but haven't won yet)! I am so happy and super proud of this girl! She won a $250,000 contract with Ford and hopefully she'll be all over the runways this coming Fashion Week. It's amazing how she only started modeling about 2 or 3 months before the actual competition. The prize and title couldn't have gone to a nicer girl. I wish Danica all the best and I really hope she becomes a household name. Well done, Ica! We're all so proud of you!!! :D
Oh, and BTW, my friends and I will be interviewing her for [FHQ] so watch out for that! I'll keep you guys posted :]

Repairs: GIVI crash bar
While I had my armoured riding jacket on I think that my arm/shoulder took most of the force and "missed" the armoured pads as the snaps were bent and detached. I went down to my local HD (Home Depot) to purchase a couple of sanding blocks (different grits) and a spray bomb of Rust-o-leum flat black.
I sand the affected area firstly with the medium grit sanding block until the surfaces smooths out a bit. Then I changed to the finer grit to get ready for the paint.
When the sanding is finished I mask off the area to contain the overspray using plastic garbage bags held by masking tape
I carefully wipe the bar down with paper towels before painting
I apply a few layers of flat black paint applied in a sweeping motion from lower to upper being careful to hold the can farther back so as to have a finer mist. I allow 10 minutes or so between layers and eventually I have full coverage of the affected area. It was surprising to note that the flat black paint nearly matches the original colour and the damage is nearly invisible with a closer inspection
Eventually I am satisfied with my progress and go out to run some errands for a few hours allowing time for the paint to cure.
While I am heading downtown in the next lane I notice that a cager is crowding this motorcyclist who is riding a Beemer. I find a way to change lanes to protect his rear. I am heading north on Cambie Street intending to ride over the Cambie Street Bridge.
(downtown Vancouver ahead)
Often when I come across scooters on busy thoroughfares I pull behind and back off to allow them some safety. I hope they appreciate my gesture.
The look of older BMW's is growing on me and I wonder if this particular model has the self retracting side stand.
I eventually return home and remove all the masking tape and plastic. I try to sand the side case a bit, mask off the area and apply a few layers of flat black to minimize the "battle scars" . It works a bit and is less noticeable but the scratches are still there. I think it's time to affix a Canadian flag sticker. Of course I have the option of purchasing another side case if I have an extra $250. to blow. For now it is a badge of honour.
Mr Conchscooter:
quote: "WetBob, some people change their oil on the only stand they have, so one can't be too cautious. The Bonneville cuts out if you put the engine in gear with the side stand deployed, and one day I'll try it and see if the lurch is enough to topple it. How do you know where the wee strom's filter is? you've only had it a week...? (I think you actually rode bitch on the very cool MP3 around l'isle de vancouvre)"
My oil filter is mounted on its side on the front of the engine just behind the front wheel. Nearly impossible to fill and screw on without dripping

I couldn't help noticing the shoes...you must change your continuity editor!
My Beemer's crash bars need painting too (as do the cylinder head covers)!
Keep smiling, N
Those crash bars were a very good option. Net you are glad you got them. Looks like a nice repair job. The shoes?ReplyDelete
I did laugh all the way through this post!
I noticed you forgot to paint the crocs (but I did get the joke). You know what happens when you fall wearing armor? You feel your age. People forget that the body bruises when hitting the ground suddenly. My top case is still scratched from my fall and I am not going to put a canadian flag on it so there. I have no patience to paint or cook, and it takes patience to do it right, so I call them battle scars and keep riding..See you in May.ReplyDelete
Dear Bobskoot:ReplyDelete
Great paint repair job on the crash bars. I wouldn't have noticed the difference. No one else will either. I had my crash bars powder coated (from chrome). They look good, but nothing special.
The cost of side bags is damnable. If you put a Conch Republic flag on your sidecase, it will be lower than the Canadian flag on your handguard.
You are getting a lot of mileage out of the pink Crocs.
Fondest regards.

I meant to tell you that the "Tool Tube" on you bike looks great. It fits nicely on your bike too!

Go on Bob, beg, and I might send you one though how riepe knows about the Conch Republic flag I am afraid to ask...some stripper somewhere probably carries the marks of his interrogation.ReplyDelete
bobskoot, im happy to see the damage and repair was fairly minor. and, i must tell you, coming from a girl with a slight shoe fetish, damn you were screwing with me on this post ;-) ...lmao...ReplyDelete
Actually the post was really about the pink crocs. You should get a pair. Bring your Beemer over and we'll have a go at painting your crash bars too. When I first got those crash bars I was thinking that I don't want to crash, but they did their job. Thank you for stopping by.
Re: your office staff, 2nd request. I would like you to post a photo of the Peanut Gallery (your office staff). When I was wearing those pink Crocs and taking those Pix my friend was over helping me to clean my gutters. He looked a few times and never said a word. After a while you don't even notice the colour
Mr Conchscooter:
When I get tired of staring at those scratches from my Aero bed under the stilts, perhaps I can find some time to work on them. I thought that I was better, but when I swing my arm backwards I know they still need more recoup time. I still have to repair my jacket, a snap nearly got sheared away
Jack "r":
I must say that for a novice painter, it looks good. Nearly invisible from a 6 foot viewing distance. You should get a pair of Pink Crocs too and bring them to Redmond, Or next July 2010. It would make it easier to find you as all I would have to do is to follow the laughter.
The tool tube is great, but most of my tools are stored under the seat with my portable air compressor. I wanted somewhere to "hide" my tripod and it is working out great for those self portraits while on the road.
I don't know how Jack does it but he seems to know a lot about everything. You'd never know how smart he was by just looking at him.
Hmmm, a Conch Republic sticker, go ahead an tempt me.
Ms M:
always glad to be of service. I also have a collection of sandals, can't resist . . . you know what they say "Life is short"
I have an awful admission to make - I wear black crocs.
(There you have it, my image is ruined and no one will read my blog again - come to think of it no one reads it anyway..)

Kim Jones is laser-focused for his second campaign for the house of Dior Men's which takes inspiration from the Artistic Directors Pre-Fall showing in Toyko.
Collaborating with Jones on his Tokyo artistic expression was Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama who spearheaded the built out of the Toyko Pre-Fall set complete with a metallic female robot over 36 feet tall and a metallic variation on the Dior logo which graces this campaign.
Lensman Steven Meisel also helps Jones to capture the retro-futuristic vision for the campaign
I wanted the campaign to catch the energy of the Toyko show with the amazing laser lights of the finale.– Kim Jones, Artistic Director Dior Menswear
Art Director Ronnie Cooke-Newhouse and lensman Steven Meisel help Jones to capture the retro-futuristic vision for the campaign intertwining colored lasers, metallic walls, and lens flares.
Overall the campaign has a subtle hint of futuristic optimism showing the collection in positive rather than somber light. The mood is colorful, upbeat, warm, and paints technology as exciting rather than something to fear. Jones and team are aware they sell a dream and why dream of a dystopian future when one can paint a shiny and exciting one. Now if only our politicians and social media obsessed culture can do the same we can pivot technology to be what it is supposed to be. A tool for good.

Do you have a dramaturg? It's a tremendous resource for you and your cast, and you could give the jobs of the dramaturg to an interested parent or even a group of students. This article talks about the main functions of the dramaturg, and ways the dramaturg's work can move a production in the right direction. Author Amy Steele lays it all out in another terrific post from schooltheatre.org.

schooltheatre.org has some great articles, and I've been passing my favorites along to you every Wednesday. This one is about resonance. A good reminder and refresher from Rena Cook, with some exercises to use as you warm up!
Passing along a great article about choreographing people who can't dance well.November 16, 2011
I'm sure we've all had shows where it seemed like none of the cast could dance! (sometimes it feels like all the shows)
I'm linking to a page of solid advice on the subject from Lisa Mulcahy.
Her take home points:
Step 1: Determine skill levels during auditions
Step 2: Plan your choreography for rehearsals
Step 3: Hold a cast meeting
Step 4: Put the choreography into motion
Each of these steps gets the full treatment, be sure to read the whole thing!
Thanks, schooltheatre.org for making this kind of material available.
Joe Deer on Directing a Chorus in a musicalNovember 9, 2011
Passing along a great post on what to do with your Chorus in your show, beyond just telling them to have more energy, stop talking, and pay attention. Mr. Deer is an author, director, choreographer, and teacher, and his insights are spot on here.

Broadway Time Capsule 1945-1946 SeasonNovember 4, 2011
Average Annual Income: $2,900
Tickets Cost: Orchestra: $3.60-6.00 Balcony $2.40-3.00
Gas: $.21 a gallon
Milk: $.62 a gallon
President: Harry Truman
This feature of the blog represents:
a) a way to get to know your Broadway history by plopping you down in a particular season and poking around there
b) an easy way to see video clips and audio clips of year-specific shows and
c) a hand guide for T.V.'s time traveling Scott Bakula to what shows to see when he visits New York.
What a crazy season, with an Irving Berlin smash, a Cole Porter flop, 2 big revues, 2 Operettas by legendary European refugees, and 2 shows about circumnavigating the globe. I'm not joking.
This show, Produced by Rodgers and Hammerstein right on the heels of their successes with Oklahoma and Carousel, was originally to have been written by Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields. Kern managed to write one last song for the upcoming revival of Showboat, "Nobody Else But Me", but then went missing and then died, (interesting story there for those willing to look into it) and another legend, Irving Berlin took over, giving him a chance to write one of the newer styled integrated musicals. He proceeded to write smash tune after smash tune, in one of the most entertaining musicals of the decade. It was far less long-winded than R&H's sometimes preachy hits, and Merman was never better.

A hit for Harold Rome about soldiers coming home, who don't want to be referred to by rank anymore. It was produced, written, and performed by returning servicemen and women, including the legendary Lehman Engel, in his second major Broadway music directing job, who hadn't been seen at the baton since Johnny Johnson in 1936. The most poignant moment of the evening was Lawrence Winters singing Face On A Dime about Roosevelt. But the big hit was a trunk song about the South American dance craze: "South America, Take it Away", which made Betty Garrett (who died this year) a star.

Beautiful Morning, pp. 181-183
A show about an insurance actuary who joins the carnival after misplacing a decimal point. Everybody mentions how this show had a crazy silhouette number where people get dressed behind a scrim and you can see their shadows. Apparently the number was full of double entendres. A picture of Dolores Gray from the show:

This is one of those shows that has a legendary score and a legendary cast, but didn't quite congeal. So when you hear one of the incredible Johnny Mercer–Harold Arlen songs, like Legalize My Name, or Come Rain or Come Shine, or I Had Myself a True Love, it's impossible to believe this isn't a great show, although it evidently has book problems.
Many people have heard of Pearl Bailey; here she is singing Legalize My Name.

I also feel the need to let everyone know about the Nicholas Brothers. They didn't do this routine in the show, of course, but have a look at this, filmed 2 years earlier:
Wouldn't you watch these guys do just about anything?

You know, this one actually sounds really interesting. John Latouche had a brief but notable career as a very smart lyricist and opera librettist, most notably in the shows The Golden Apple and Candide. Here he was doing a life of Chopin (Poland's greatest composer) using Chopin's music, as adapted by Bronislaw Kaper, who was himself a legendary Polish composer. I can't find out a lot about this show, except that people didn't like it all that much, and that Polish operatic tenor Jan Kiepura's acting was dismal. He appeared with his wife, the Hungarian soprano Marta Eggerth in the show. They had played opposite one another many times, but only in opera and established operetta hits.
This play with Cole Porter music was a huge extravaganza written, directed by, and starring Orson Welles, who created a huge and lousy spectacle, which included projected film, a japanese circus, the collapse of a railroad bridge as a train races across, the arrival of the U.S. Marines up the aisles to rescue a hero stuck high in an Eagle's nest, forty eight tons of sets, costumes, and props, including a 1,600 pound mechanical elephant. It required 55 stage hands and had 34 scene changes. It reminded people of another, more successful everything-and-the-kitchen-sink extravaganza, Hellzapoppin, and was hence branded Wellesapoppin by some. But nobody was really interested in this kind of baloney, and it closed quickly, losing $300,000, at a time when a big show could be had for $100,000. Welles went on to other things, and Cole Porter would look like a has-been until Kiss Me Kate. In an effort to cover costs, Welles had sold the film rights to future Liz Taylor husband Mike Todd, who made a lot of money and got a best picture Oscar with the 1958 movie version without using any material from the play. It would be Todd's only movie. For his part, Cole Porter really enjoyed working with Orson Welles, saying that he never knew anyone in the theater who worked harder than Welles, or was kinder to his cast.
Here's a radio drama adaptation for your listening pleasure:

Eddie Cantor produced the other musical about circumnavigating the globe, which had music by Johnny Burke and Jimmy Van Huesen. It was the 7th and final show together for Victor Moore and William Gaxton, who are probably most famous now for their roles in the original Anything Goes, and it would be Gaxton's final bow on Broadway. "Just musical globalony" said Time.
You already knew this, but this revue was the third of three shows, the first two being One For The Money (1939) and Two For The Show (1940) Sadly, there would be no Four to Go. It's actually not fair to call it a flop, because all three productions ran a respectable few months before closing, which was what you might expect from a revue. Ray Bolger was apparently very funny in the show, which included a sketch called Kenosha Canoe, which purported to show how R&H would have adapted Dreiser's American Tragedy. Also featured a young Gordon MacRae, and the debut of Julie Wilson. (see below)
A musical about a guy in a department store who after a hit on the head, dreams he's Goya. After that the show is set in the 18th century. There were many problems out of town, including misplaced scenery and costumes. Jackie Gleason left during tryouts, only 5 performances. Vernon Rice of the Post said, "Misfortune has befallen The Duchess Misbehaves almost since its inception. Last night, however, it had its greatest misfortune. It opened."
This play with music had been around the regional circuit about 15 years before it hit Broadway. It used Asian Theatre Tropes which wouldn't be seen in a major Broadway show again until Pacific Overtures 30 years later. Mary Martin's presence in the cast assured a cast album, but Yul Brynner, (appearing for the first time in a musical) wasn't a big enough deal to make it onto the record. The cast was apparently not as interesting as the incredible sets by Robert Edmund Jones, which got all the good press.

Moliere's Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme with music adapted from Lully (!!), written as a vehicle for Bobby Clark. Huh? Well, everybody loves Bobby Clark, especially his fellow actors, who he was always cracking up, but people didn't generally care for the show. Bordman lists this as a musical, but I think it was more of a 'play with music'. Including it in the interest of being thorough.
After the success of On The Town, Comden and Green and Jerome Robbins wanted to do a '20s show, but Bernstein turned them down, so Morton Gould wrote the score, but it didn't really strike the '20s flavor correctly. It did, however, have the obligatory Dream Ballet made necessary by Oklahoma!'s tremendous success. Robbins, choreographing his second show, got into trouble with Agnes DeMille, who thought he had taken too many dancers from Bloomer Girl, which she had choreographed, and which was still running. But his biggest enemies were the forgettable score, and the pit, into which he fell backward while yelling at the dancers during a rehearsal. The show ran about 6 months.

Dance With Demons pp.97-102
Lerner and Loewe's second score together, it involved old flames being stirred up at a college reunion. The shadow of Oklahoma! looms over this show too, with its plot-advancing ballet sequences, created by Anthony Tudor. Directed by Edward Padula, who would later produce Bye Bye Birdie. Although no movie was ever made of this show, it was optioned by MGM, and the sale of that option for $250,000 allowed Lerner (in his own words) to "eat properly" for the first time. Even the critics who didn't like it could see that this team was a talented force to be reckoned with.

Jacques Belasco score to a story involving a house painter who is mistakenly given a job painting a museum mural, the show eked out 12 performances and expired.

OPERETTAS BY FAMOUS EUROPEAN REFUGEES FROM WORLD WAR II! (you didn't want to see an operetta?)
This Operetta, wit a score by Robert Stolz, followed Waltz King Johann Strauss to Boston. There was evidently a delightful Laughing Song, but it wasn't enough to keep the show going. This show was the Broadway debut of Harold Lang (who still had time after the show closed to be in this season's Three To Make Ready) . I found a particularly painful passage from a George Jean Nathan's review:
"…with the possible exception of Schubert and Schumann, the love lives of the illustrious gentlemen [composers], along with the women involved with them, have been as appealingly romantic as a severe case of Parkinson's disease. A prayer may further be lifted that in the future, the shows will not, as in the case of the one under scrutiny, be cast with a male performer so pretty that an audience is puzzled whether the central figure was after all a composer or a movie actor. And, while the praying is going on, may something also be done about the coloratura heroines. I do not know how others may feel about it, but when it comes to me I confess to have a very difficult time of it believing in any man's passionate adoration of and tender solicitude for a woman who occupies the entire evening- and very probably, God forbid, the rest of the night, loudly gargling her way, while grinning like a triumphant hyena, to a high C"
Wow! Don't ever take that guy to the opera!
Emmerich Kálmán Operetta about an Austro Hungarian crown prince double suicide. (apparently they managed to give it a happy ending, though) Sadly for this production, Oklahoma! had made it impossible for operettas like this to take off. There was a lot here that reminded people of Oklahoma!, including the original Laurey, (who still had time after the show closed to be in this season's Are You With It?) a Curly from the road company, and a song that evidently sounds a lot like Surrey With The Fringe On Top.

Passing along a terrific post on getting a new theatre built at your schoolNovember 3, 2011
I ran into this really comprehensive article from ETA about building a new theatre at your school, which I think will be useful to you, especially if you're lucky enough to be in the position of getting a new building!
Her 10 bullet point suggestions are:
Step One: Get on the Building Committee
Step Two: Articulate your vision of the theatre
Step Three: Choose an Architect
Step Four: Teach and learn terms, know systems
Step Five: Familiarize yourself with the Architect's process
Step Six: Review the budget
Step Seven: Review the construction contract
Step Eight: Keep involved in the construction process.
Step Nine: Set a realistic timeline and first production goals
Step Ten: Know how your facility works.
Author Tarin Chaplin goes into terrific detail about each of these points. You and your successors will have to live with the consequences of all these decisions for decades to come, so your active participation is necessary to keep generations of artists and educators from shaking their heads as they inhabit the space.

This weekend we went out west to visit a church plant that will be needing a new pastor. The current pastor's last Sunday will be September 11. We were contacted about this opportunity and felt that we could not dismiss it without visiting the church and praying for them. Our trip to Uganda will go on as scheduled, but we are seriously concerning returning to work just like a missionary would in a small church out west. Please pray for the Lord's clear leadership in this matter. Above all we want His name to be exalted.
Here are some pictures from our little trip.

Health & Security
Our Group has always been committed to a very strict policy of prevention of health and safety risks. Focused on the continuous reinforcement of staff safety, the Group is committed to providing the tools and conditions necessary to work safely.
Security, one of our essential values.
All our employees use personal protective equipment (PPE) according to the risks of their job and are trained on safety standards, so as to have all the tools available to avoid risks. All means are used to minimize workplace accidents and even the severity rate. We planned prevention plans and contingency measures for each potential risk situation.

We are proud of our results, which are the result of a joint effort by all our employees.
Workplace safety is also about the health of our employees. The Group is committed to ensuring a safe, healthy and enjoyable work environment and promoting well-being at work through initiatives that promote work-life balance.
The values and rules of the Group are combined in our Code of Ethics. This is essential for all employees, whether they are employees or senior managers. The scope is designated by Groupe Monnoyeur and its subsidiaries, which undertake to comply with laws and regulations.
Our Charter reflects the Group's commitment to its employees and partners by highlighting its core values. It deals with the following topics: compliance with laws and regulations, ethics and integrity in the conduct of activities, asset protection, respect and the protection of individuals.
Skills sponsorship
Aware of its social and regional responsibility in the economic life, the Monnoyeur Group wanted to engage in a philanthropic action for the future, unifying and linked to its activities: helping troubled young people to join the workforce by training them to a profession. The Group is naturally associated with the more than 100-year-old Apprentis d'Auteuil Foundation, with which it shares the same values: integrity, caring for the most vulnerable young people, conviviality and finally the courage and perseverance. As part of a professionalization contract, we accompany, over a period of 19 months, about 20 young people towards the obtaining of a qualification of Professional level "Technician of Maintenance Mechanics Engines of Public Works".
The first project ran from autumn 2014 to spring 2016 and allowed 12 young people to fully or partially obtain their professional title, to learn a promising job and to gain access to an integration path.
Depuis avril 2016, les équipes opérationnelles de Bergerat Monnoyeur accueillent 18 nouveaux jeunes, dont 2 jeunes femmes, au sein de 8 ateliers principaux en France. Tuteurs et parrains, aidés par les équipes pédagogiques de la fondation Apprentis d'Auteuil et du formateur dédié à ce mécénat de compétences, les accompagnent chaque jour pour leur donner les moyens et l'envie de décrocher le titre équivalent bac professionnel.
Of the 2,275 hours of training required, the young apprentices will spend, alternately, 45 weeks in our workshops and 20 weeks in the theoretical training center. In November 2018, all will present their exam.
Corporate sponsorship
In 2006, on the occasion of its 100th anniversary, the Monnoyeur Group, which has been present on most of the great French projects of the 20th century, decided to join the very important campaign of restoration of the castle and the domain of Versailles undertaken by the State, and more particularly to take over the financing of the return of the Grid Royale as part of corporate sponsorship. The exceptional circumstances of our centenary thus gave us the opportunity to make our contribution to the restoration of the National Heritage. Such an opportunity, unique in our history and very rare in history, legitimate in its foundation, can rightly make us all proud of our Group which will have, by its prosperity, exceed its economic mission and make a contribution in a general interest setting. The Palace of Versailles, one of the most beautiful monuments of our country, remains today one of the most concrete symbols of our History and the durability of the big human companies as well as the mark of the taste and the cultural radiance of France around the world. This is an opportunity for a company to rub shoulders with history, as an instrument for understanding the present and as a driver for thinking about the future. The recognition of the meaning and the mark of History by our stone brought to the restoration of the first monument of our country, long flagship of the taste, the style and the French refinement, symbol of the radiation of France around the world, are for our company, so many motives for meditation and pride.

Criticism Of Marshall Definition
The Dr. Marshall definition of Economics is a major improvement over the definition of Adam Smith and other ancient Economists. This definition was recognized between 1890 to 1932 and it seemed that the controversy relating to the definition of Economics had ended. But, a renowned Professor of 'London School of Economics', Prof. Leonel Robbins in his book 'An Essay of the Nature and Significance of Social Science' in 1932 criticized Marshall's definition in loud words, which are as follows – Continue reading

Rihanna Launches Third Fragrance on Black Friday
- by Sherrell Dorsey
- posted at 2:00 pm
- November 16, 2012
Shoppers have much more in store on Black Friday than the traditional discounted electronics and rock-bottom prices on clothes they've been eyeing all season. Pop star Rihanna also announced that she will be releasing her new fragrance, Nude by Rihanna (available at Macy's), on the epic holiday shopping event that's a do-or-die staple of the American way.
Priced between $49 and $59 the new fragrance features notes of guava nectar, mandarin, orange blossom, gardenia petals, vanilla orchid and pear.
"I named my album 'Unapologetic' because there is only one truth, and you can't apologize for that," Rihanna told WWD in which she also alluded to the possibility of creating a cosmetics or hair-care line in the future. "It's honest. I'm always evolving of course. I think the only motto I have is to be true to myself."
