American Lung Association's LUNG FORCE Encourages Americans to Take Action Against the No. 1 Cancer Killer during National Women's Lung Health Week (May 7-13)
LUNG FORCE Launches #ShowYourLUNGFORCE Social Campaign to Celebrate the Power of Our Lungs, Rally Women and Men to Beat Lung Cancer
National Presenting Sponsor CVS Health Supports LUNG FORCE with In-Store Fundraising Campaign May 7-27

In support of National Women's Lung Health Week (May 7-13), the American Lung Association's LUNG FORCE initiative – nationally presented by CVS Health – is celebrating its fourth annual Turquoise Takeover. This week-long event will splash the nation with turquoise – LUNG FORCE's signature color – to increase lung cancer awareness and unite women and their loved ones to take a stand against lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer deaths among women and men.
This year, LUNG FORCE is raising awareness through #ShowYourLUNGFORCE, a social campaign celebrating the power of our lungs and encouraging supporters to get creative and participate. In addition, CVS Health is supporting LUNG FORCE for the fourth year through an in-store campaign and by helping communities go tobacco-free to beat lung cancer. These efforts are part of LUNG FORCE's aim to make lung cancer in women a public health priority and increase awareness among the nearly 98 percent of women who do not have lung cancer on their health radar.
"A diagnosis of lung cancer shouldn't happen by chance or when the disease is in its later stages, as it does for so many," said Harold Wimmer, National President and CEO of the American Lung Association. "We know that early detection is key – survival rates are five times higher when lung cancer is detected early. This is why awareness of lung cancer and screening options is critical in partnership with research funding to support more treatment options and methods of early detection."
The American Lung Association's 3rd annual Women's Lung Health Barometer revealed that, while there have been positive shifts in women's perceptions of lung cancer, awareness remains critically low. Anyone can get lung cancer, and sadly one woman dies every eight minutes in the U.S. from the disease. Early detection and treatment of lung cancer translates to higher survival rates, however only 18 percent of lung cancer cases among women are diagnosed early, when the disease is most treatable.
Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X 2016 victor Adam Klein has joined the LUNG FORCE initiative as a LUNG FORCE Hero after losing his mother to lung cancer just one hour after returning home from the competition. Klein's mother, Susie, lost her life to the disease only nine short months after receiving a stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis. In honor of his mother's legacy, Klein most recently participated in LUNG FORCE's 2nd annual LUNG FORCE Advocacy Day in Washington, D.C., to advocate for additional research funding.
"My mother was an inspirational woman, filled with strength, love and compassion. She bravely faced the disease for nine months, but more importantly, thrived for 60 years," said Klein. "Lung cancer is the number one cancer killer of women and yet only 2 percent of women have lung cancer on their health radar so it's imperative that we make it a priority. Early detection and more effective treatment options will save lives which is why I've committed myself to raising awareness of lung cancer as well as critical funding for research in the fight against this disease."
LUNG FORCE Kicks Off Social Campaign #ShowYourLUNGFORCE
Without our lungs, we could not sing, dance, run or laugh – we couldn't breathe. LUNG FORCE is celebrating the power of our lungs by demonstrating the many ways we use them every day. To encourage people to take a stand against lung cancer, LUNG FORCE is launching a social campaign called #ShowYourLUNGFORCE, asking Americans to take action and mobilize their social networks to amplify awareness and raise funds to defeat lung cancer.
It's easy for everyone to get involved:
- With the tag #ShowYourLUNGFORCE, upload a video and/or photo to your social channels demonstrating how you Show Your LUNG FORCE, such as whistling, blowing a bubble or a kiss, or other examples that show the power of your lungs
- Tag three friends and challenge them to do the same
- Donate on the LUNG FORCE Facebook page or LUNGFORCE.org
Donations will support the American Lung Association's investment in lung cancer research and patient support – including early detection, biomarker testing and advocacy for more federal research funding.
CVS Health's In-Store Fundraising Campaign Drives Donations for Lung Cancer Research
For the fourth year in a row, LUNG FORCE National Presenting Sponsor CVS Health is rallying support with in-store fundraising. From Sunday, May 7th through Saturday, May 27th, CVS Pharmacy customers can visit any of its 7,900 stores to support LUNG FORCE by making a $1, $3 or larger donation at the register or online at Lung.org/CVS to raise funds for lung cancer awareness, research and education. The in-store fundraising campaign is part of Be The First, a 5-year $50 million initiative funded through CVS Health and the CVS Health Foundation to help deliver the nation's first tobacco-free generation. While anyone can get lung cancer, smoking is the leading risk factor for lung cancer, along with radon gas, air pollution and secondhand smoke exposure. In addition to donating to the campaign, customers can also visit Lung.org/CVS for easy ways to help their communities become tobacco-free, which is key to making a difference against lung cancer.
"CVS Health is a proud sponsor of LUNG FORCE and its work to ensure that we fight the number one cancer killer," said Helena Foulkes, President, CVS Pharmacy. "As a company that is committed to helping people on a path to better health, we want to help raise funds and spread awareness of this deadly disease. Together with the American Lung Association's LUNG FORCE, we're working to create tobacco-free communities to help beat lung cancer."

I wish I could go to Maggies school! What a lucky girl. Thank you for your words of wisdom and for being one of my favorite compasses. XOXOXO
A Trip to the Music Museum: Where's Your Compass?
Recently, I helped chaperone a field trip to the Music Museum in downtown Stockholm. No…not for one of my boys…for Maggie (she's 3). Her pre-school adventure began with me (along with 2 teachers) helping to dress 12 (3-5) year-olds, in cold weather gear, then walking to a bus stop, then boarding a bus and getting on another train where we walked another couple of city blocks to finally reach the museum…whew! I kept asking myself, "Would we ever do this in the States?" The liability issues alone would make for a "NO!" But here in Sweden the curriculum, even in preschool, includes these kinds of activities as a way to teach children about everyday life.
What helped to keep the children organized was that each child had a "compass." That is to say, they were each assigned a buddy. It's a term the Swedes use for a friend (I promise you I'm spelling it wrong, but that's exactly how its pronounced). The constant refrain throughout the day was, "Do you have your compass?" When the children heard this they'd scramble to find their partner; if they were already holding hands they'd turn to each other and smile. It was adorable.
Maggie's compass was a girl named Alva who was at least a head taller than her, yet she was careful not to pull ahead. She stayed by Maggie the entire time, was quiet and listened well to directions. (Don't we all want this kind of compass for our kids?) The teachers assigned her to me because they knew she wouldn't give me any trouble.
The kids had so much fun at the museum. There were all different kinds of drums to look at and play. In one room they'd constructed drums out of kitchen pot and pans. Just look at the colors on these African drums!
Before the trip home the kids sat and ate their bananas.
Hearing the word "compass" spoken over and over again throughout the day, I couldn't help but apply my own English vernacular to the meaning. A compass…a friend…it's a wonderful description! A friend is a guide, someone to point north when you're lost, someone who risks telling the truth even when the truth is difficult to hear. I've had the good fortune of many life "compasses;" parents, most importantly (thanks mom and dad). And teachers, like Doc Wilkerson, who risked taking a group of teenagers to Europe, (even scarier than preschooler). It was my first exposure to a foreign country and to say it changed my life wouldn't be an exaggeration. Then there was Mrs. McWilliams, my 10th grade English teacher who taught me to love words, writing and the absolute joy of uncovering yourself in a book. (She didn't even know I'd grow up to write a blog:) I still remember the cider and donuts she brought to class–thank you!
There are too many others to name, high school friends, college roommates, my soul mate Cooper (inestimable) and my children–they're the best at pointing out when I'm in the wrong.:) And I can't forget to mention strangers, so many times people I don't even know have said something that's stuck with me…they're a compass too.
So how does one find a compass when they need it? I've learned it helps if your willing to be one first. You can't stay lonely if you're helping someone else not to be lonely. You won't stay down if you're trying to cheer someone else up. It's just how life works.
We had a good-sized group this week at our Friday Fika (that means coffee and a treat in Swedish). There were some new faces too. We couldn't stop talking about the elections, raising kids (always issues), and what we'd each buy if we had an hour at Target…ahhh. Topping the list was Reynolds's Wrap Foil and Zip-lock baggies (how boring) but true. Consciously connecting takes planning, but it's good to have a "compass" (and nice to be one too).
"A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow."
3 Comments on "A Trip to the Music Museum: Where's Your Compass?"
What a great word for navigating preschoolers! Have to confess, thinking about what you would do in a given situation is often the compass I have in my head to navigate my attitude about life. Thanks for your example and friendship! Isn't it incredible how much EFFORT it takes to get outdoors with kids in those northern countries! And yet, they seem to be out in nature so much more than the softies in SoCal. Why is that?

I had the chance to attend an online financial seminar presented by Patrick Wood of augustreview and a power point presentation by prosperousamerica.org in addition to going over some other research and found that regardless of media-hype we still have the power to change our future and swim out of turbulent financial waters. For those of you like so many of us pressing for time I will let you know right off to not be so quick in getting rid of your dollars, support other US entrepreneurs, and educate yourself each day even if 10minutes a day with our Free trade and banking system.
Most of our economic problems are stemming from a faulty banking system (taking us for a ride with inflations, deflations, fiat money printing press and one that is undermining true real production and wealth) and non fair "free Trade" agreement situations. As usual we have government officials who are supposed to be representative of the People but not when they signed us into the World Trade Organization (WTO) year 1994 without debate which down the road allows the other 150 members to have jurisdiction over US Laws and trade business policies. Free trade is just an effective key word and it has nothing to do with trade but with the transfer of the factors of production, labor and Capital. Later these very same products that were made by our corporations return to us as imports then benefiting everyone else but Americans in our GDP. In the end we truly subsidize the off shoring with our devalued dollar, loss of jobs, production, and other environmental costs to our land. California is receiving the cloud of pollution from China yet at a 40% disadvantage in both trade and other side effects. I encourage every single person to join progressamerica.org for this organization is addressing these concerns and many others that we have discussed affecting our lives in general, our economy and sovereignty.
All of us should discuss, debate and study more our Trade and banking. A great resolution for many to have presented at their election Caucus and State would have been to start teaching banking and true wealth creation at the First or second grade level in Elementary School. The current lack of education to the American people in these areas is no surprise since much prey on ignorance and in deception even since our revolutionary war and independence from England. We won the war physically but then on paper and with legislations misinterpretations we are being had. If we continue down this path instead of having Nations around the world we will end up with just banks forming the rules and directing Society. We The People are the Constraint on the government, banks and other entities from abusing their power for after all we are human beings, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, and individuals and not just production units and or Capital of production for a future communist type of Society. For in the end that system has the people also becoming capital to produce for the State and then we are no longer free and part of the reason we will gradually be losing our freedoms. Above is more information on types of government so please view this film when you have time. Other reading material is from economist Joseph Stiglits and also Michael Chossudovsky's book, The Globalisation of Poverty. Please show that you value being the Land of The Free and the brave and a Nation with Rule of Law, Constitutional principles and checks and balances. This is not just for ourselves but for the rest of the world that has valued our freedoms, refuge and fairness.
"If the American people ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation, and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property, until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power of money should be taken from banks and restored to Congress and the people to whom it belongs. I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money, are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies." ~ Thomas Jefferson

Blue Is The Warmest Colour Actress Lea Seydoux will star opposite Daniel Craig in next year's 24th James Bond film.
Rumoured for a few months, the Daily Mail now believe that the deal is done and the French actress will now be heading to Pinewood for a series of camera, make-up and costume tests before reading the script at the end of the November.
Bond 24 will begin full production in early December. It will star Craig in his fourth outing as the famed British super spy alongside Ralph Fiennes as M, Naomi Harris as Moneypenny and Ben Whishaw as Q – who all return from 2012's Skyfall.
Seydoux won acclaim for her part in Palm d'Or-winning romantic drama Blue is the Warmest Colour, but is no stranger to Hollywood having appeared in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol opposite Tom Cruise.
Skyfall man Sam Mendes is returning to the director's chair for a second time, and it was recently reported that Interstellar and Her cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema will replace Roger Deakins as director of photography.
Location scouting has been ongoing for some time, with some of the film's locations believed to include Austria, Morocco and Rome.
Bond 24 will be released on 23 October 2015.

Starry Beach
Posted by Pamela under Uncategorized | Permalink | | Leave A Comment | No Comments
"Every time we walk along a beach some ancient urge disturbs us so that we find ourselves shedding shoes and garments or scavenging among seaweed and whitened timbers like the homesick refugees of a long war."
— Loren Eiseley
What is it about the ocean that calls us home? As I've said before (A Gift From the Sea), there is something magical for me that takes place as I walk along the shoreline. Perhaps it is the whooshing sound of the surf that takes us back to our days in the womb and all at once connects us with our past and with the possibility of new beginnings. Maybe it is simply the experience of being in a place so vast that our own place in it — along with our troubles — shrinks by comparison. All I know is that my times spent at the beach have offered me perspective on many different occasions. Come away with me today to another Gift from the Sea.
It was September 1980, and it had been seven months since my son Brett had died in a car/pedestrian accident. More than 200 days had passed — some difficult and some even worse — as I grieved the loss of my child. September brought me a whole new experience of pain as I watched all of his friends, now nearly a year older, prepare to start a new year at school. Second grade. Brett would never go to second grade. He would never read a chapter book or write a story. There were no new sneakers to be bought, no fresh haircut to be had for the first day. He had already had his last first day of school. I would like to say that I was aware enough of my own needs that I went to the beach to seek perspective; but the truth is that I made the trip because I needed to run away from my own emotions. I went without any anticipation of good or healing things. I simply wanted to be alone.
The September beach in New Jersey was drizzly and cold. The day was cloudy, and any hope of sunny warmth was lost in the dampness that blew over the surf and made me feel clammy and half alive. I was angry — angry that my son would never grow up, angry that I resented other people's children for still being around, angry that even the beach would not offer me a bit of light and a few degrees of warmth at a time when I needed it so badly. I felt very abandoned and completely alone. I couldn't even raise my eyes to see the sky above me, so I just walked along in the edge of the surf in my canvas sneakers, kicking at the piles of seaweed and trash that defined the distance the last wave had traveled before receding and being drawn back into the ocean. I don't think I can remember another time when I felt so weighed down and could only focus on debris in the midst of the beauty of the ocean.
I walked and I kicked and I kicked some more and walked some more. I'm really not sure how far I had gone when I drew back my foot and sent a clump of seaweed flying. Just as I was ready to walk on, I saw something lying amid the strands of plant life — a tiny starfish, no more than half an inch in diameter. It stopped me dead in my tracks; and I stooped down, sitting on my haunches, and began to sift through the remaining seaweed. I pulled up my shirttail, and began to collect them — nearly 100 perfect, tiny little stars that lay underneath the rubble on a cloudy day. I never had seen starfish on the New Jersey beach before. Maybe they always are there and I pass them by because I'm taken by the sky to a height too high for them to be visible. Maybe they never are there, and they appeared that day because I really needed a miracle to see me through to the days that lay ahead.
I don't need to know the truth about starfish life on the Jersey shore. What matters to me is that they were there at the time when I needed them most. For the first time in weeks, I found myself honestly smiling. I realized as I sat there with a shirttail full of stars that sometimes when we are looking for huge miracles that elude our grasp, we can miss the tiny ones that lie at our feet. This sounds so simple when I say it today; but on that day, thirty years ago, it was a revelation. I packed up my treasure and headed to the car with plenty to think about on my ride home. I washed the little stars, dried them, and stored them in two little plastic boxes that once had held straight pins for sewing. I placed them in my desk drawer where they would be handy if I needed to take them out and be reminded of their magic.
Thirty years later, the stars are gone. Over time, I have shared them — one at a time — with people who entered my life at times when they needed a miracle. I hope that taking one with them may have helped them to see the small miracles that lit their path instead of feeling abandoned and alone while looking for a large one. I had thought that I would keep just one little star as a reminder of that day; but the day came when I needed one to give to someone who was feeling the way I had felt when I kicked the seaweed and re-discovered my sense of wonder. And so the last little starfish made its way out of the box and into the pocket of the latest person who needed its magic. Now I have an empty plastic box with one hinge slightly broken from all the times it has opened and closed over years and years. When I look at it, I can imagine it full of stars; and it reminds me of all the times when the miracle was passed on to other people. The real gift is the empty box, because it reminds me that I did go on after that dark day on the beach. It also reminds me that miracles are never ours to possess and keep. They are to be shared and to be held only in our memories and in our hearts — like little boys and tiny starfish.

Located on the same latitude as Florida and Mexico, temperatures rarely drop below 18 degrees, perfect weather for the 152+ beaches.
Fuerteventura´s trade winds are famous for making the island a surfers paradise. The PWA World Wind Surfing and Kite Surfing Championships are held on the island every July. Sailors, fishermen and divers are also attracted to Fuerteventura, alongside sunseeking holiday makers.
The stunning coastline and the volcanic interior of the island have resulted in the island being declared a World Heritage Site. The interior is best explored by 4x4, quad, dirt bike or hiking and many boat and catamaran trips explore the coastline.
Take 2 – Reasons why you want to holiday on Fuerteventura
Fuerteventura is the second largest island of the so called Fortunate Islands. It received its name back in the fourteenth century and, although there are a couple of possible meanings, it is more likely to do, and as any visitor may want to confirm, with great fortune or "ventura" meaning happiness. The island is surprising cosy and welcoming, the best scenery to enjoy tranquillity.
Sea, Sun & Beaches
Fuerteventura is only 100 kilometers away from the African continent, the long shaped Island has 1.658 kilometers square and a length of 210 kilometers, including the small little Island Lobos – located at Fuerteventura's North. Fuerteventura was formed by volcanic eruptions starting over 15 millions of years ago. The physical geography of Fuerteventura is strongly influenced by the erosion. The shape of mountains and mountain ranges have been softened by rain and the wind over the centuries. Fuerteventura's climate is warm and dry, as the mountain slopes on the island do not offer sufficient height, the moist of the trade winds converts very rarely into rain. The combination of the Island´s climate and shape make this place ideal for those loving the sea and the sun, an outstanding medley of desert stillness, lava flows of ghostly delicacy, oceans of sand dunes, almost unspoiled beaches and the, rich in fauna, seabed. The really and truly outstanding beaches in Fuerteventura cover approx. 340km in length. Idyllic conditions for water sports and diving.
So if you want to know, if Fuerteventura is your best choice for a holiday, let me give you a brief introduction: Imagine its 12 o'clock noon, and you are sat on a little stone bench, right by the tiny, linen white village church with the characteristic black volcanic stones, decorating the façade. The sound of the church bells break through the air and traces of into the wide blue sky, you feel the prickling heat on your skin, occasionally tempered by the refreshing trade winds that are home here. You get up and leave this sleepy little village, embedded in between sand and dark magma coloured hills and head off to any of the beaches, where you will spend the rest of the day in the sizzling sun, cooled by refreshing cold of clear blue and turquoise water.
This is the Essence of Fuerteventura.
Do you need to disconnect from your stressful and hectic daily routine? Come to Fuerteventura – there is no better place for you to relax and recharge your batteries.

Chances are that if you manage a medical practice long enough, you will eventually face the need to terminate an employee. The process is both gut wrenching and surrounded by ethical and legal pitfalls. Clearly communicated expectations and regular performance reviews create an environment of accountability. When all efforts to correct an employee fail, and it's time to "pull the trigger," your previous efforts leave you with a foundation of confidence and a clear conscience that you gave the employee a fair chance.
Begin by communicating your expectations in writing—with every staff member. Job descriptions including lines of authority, scope of job, and specific tasks show employees what you expect. Set up and follow regular employee evaluations with clear goals for better performance. Document
all efforts for correction and improvement. Serious infractions that disrupt the practice need immediate attention. Keep careful records of violations, warnings, and remedial efforts. When all else fails, it's time to plan for termination. To proceed confidently and to minimize
legal risks, follow these tips:
- Prepare a simple termination letter to be hand delivered by you at a private meeting.
- Determine who should attend the termination meeting. Include at least two management level employees to conduct and witness the encounter.
- Determine the best time to meet, which is not Friday afternoon because the terminated employee cannot do anything about looking for another job or applying for unemployment over the weekend. Deliver the message when as few other employees are around as possible. Make the day of the meeting the last day of the terminated employee's work.
- Determine where to meet. Privacy is the key ingredient.
- Determine what you will say about the reason for termination. Document the details of the meeting as part of the employee's personnel file. If you fire a staffer without a specific reason ("not for cause"), you don't have to be very specific. However, it's a good idea to explain why you are terminating the employee.
- When firing someone for more serious infractions that compromise safety or threaten your practice's integrity ("for cause"), you may want to invest in a consultation with your attorney to maximize your protection should the incident spark litigation.
- Final paycheck. Make clear what money will be paid and when. Make sure you have a current address if the check is to be mailed.
- Personal items. Place boxes near the staffer's workspace to make it easier to pack up personal items.
- Getting home. Make sure the employee has the resources to get home, which is especially important if he or she uses public transportation.
- References. Explain to the employee how you will respond to reference requests. If, for example, you take the legally conservative approach,
- let him or her know that you will disclose only dates of employment, position, last salary, and eligibility for re-hire.
- Practice assets. Be sure to obtain any keys, passes, etc. that belong to the company, and change locks, pass codes, and other security safeguards when a staffer leaves. Remind the employee that he or she is still obligated to maintain patient and company confidentiality.

Country Day School
Throughout the year, every Country Day School class plans a play and performs it on stage in front of a larger school and parent audience. By working together on a common performance project, the students learn the true meaning of community. While having a great time, they develop confidence, self-discipline, coordination and mutual support. Annual tradtions include the Halloween Show, Holiday Show, First Grade Play, Second Grade Play, Grandparents & Special Friends Show, Fourth Grade Puppet Show and Spring Show.
Junior School
Junior School students learn dramatic skills and develop self-confidence through larger grade-level performances and small class skits performed at assembly. Students in grades PK-2 perform annual class plays that are often related to a thematic unit of study. Students in grades 3-5 stage performances as part of the capstone event of grade-level interdisciplinary projects, such as the Third Grade State Fair, the Fourth Grade Greek Museum and the Fifth Grade Wonder Project.
Middle School
In the Middle School, theatre is offered as an option during the daily athletic/activity period in the fall and winter terms, giving any student the chance to be part of the Fall Play or Winter Musical. Through daily rehearsals, students hone performance skills and learn all aspects of a theatre production, both in front of and behind the curtain. These term classes culminate in main-stage productions with three performances for students and family. Nearly 25 percent of the student body participates in the cast and crew of these annual theatre productions.
Senior School
The Senior School Gargoyle Society presents three major theatrical productions each year: the Fall Play, Winter Musical and spring Original Works Theatre Festival, which is a collection of one-act plays written by students in the English Playwriting elective. Students can become involved in the productions as cast members, assistant directors, dramaturgs, stage managers, set designers, technical crew members and more. In some years, student writers have adapted an older play to modern-day language and setting. Every two years, students have the opportunity to travel to Scotland to perform in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Students participating in the Winter Musical receive PE credit. A one-credit Acting course can be taken to count toward the arts requirement.

RNA 002 – "Blues, Jazz & Beyond" – Mike Collins | Jim Mullen
Originally recorded as a series of roughly-recorded duets in short 15-minute sessions at the end of the recording sessions for Jim's "Thumbnail Sketches" solo album, these tracks were developed several years later when Blair Cunningham added drums and completed several years after that when John McKenzie added his bass lines!
Starting off with a selection of original improvised bluesy compositions, the album extends musical boundaries with the two most musically experimental tracks, 'Demon Dance' (with a guest appearance from Karl Rasheed-Abel on double bass) and 'Summertime' (with overdubbed pedal harp played by Mike to add 'atmospherics'). Charlie Mingus's tribute to Lester Young, 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat', gets an extended workout before a return to a more conventional approach on the standards 'You're My Thrill' and 'Stella By Starlight'. The album finishes up with 'rocking' versions of Miles Davis's 'All Blues' and Bobby Timmons's 'Moanin" – driven along by Blair Cunningham's powerful drumming and John McKenzie's lively bass lines.

Recording Information:
Jim played his Aria Pro II full-bodied jazz guitar – using the neck pickup set to a mellow tone.
I played various guitars including a Gibson L5 made in the 1940's for the 5 blues pieces, a 60's Epiphone Texan for tracks 6 – 10, and I used a 1950's Epiphone Deluxe guitar that had two Gibson-style small humbucker pickups for the last two tracks.
Jim mostly played through my mid-70s Ampeg VT22 2 x 12 guitar combo amplifier, although he used my early-60s black-faced Fender Vibrolux Reverb 2 x 10 combo amplifier on a few selections. On "All Blues" and "Moanin'" I used the Ampeg VT22 and Jim used the Vibrolux Reverb as I recall.
On some of the recordings, such as "Blues for Jacko" and "She Makes Me Wait", to record Jim's guitar I placed one microphone a couple of inches from the speaker cabinet, using a Shure Unidyne III or an AKG C414, and positioned an AKG C12 VR or a C414 microphone about 12 inches away from the front of the guitar to catch some of the acoustic and room sound. On others, I just used one of these microphones in front of the speaker. To record my acoustic guitars, I normally used an AKG C414.
The microphones were recorded via a Yamaha 02R digital mixer to the left and right channels of a Studer D780 DAT recorder. Later I transferred these recordings to Pro Tools to balance the two channels and add EQ, compression and reverb.
I recorded the drums directly into Pro Tools with some microphones using the built-in pre-amps on the Yamaha DM 1000 mixer that had replaced the 02R by this time, and with some of the microphones going through either a Joe Meek Twin QCS dual mic pre or a Focusrite Red 8 dual mic pre. I typically recorded the bass directly into Pro Tools through a Peterson StroboStomp tuner/DI.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. I Corinthians 13: 4-8
Valentines Day is a widely celebrated day filled with LOVE, hearts, candy, flowers, and gifts exchanged between loved ones. Curious on how Valentines Day started? Read about it here. How are you celebrating today?
My husband and I have been married for 4.5 years and tend to not celebrate on actual holidays in order to avoid the crowds. I was pleasantly surprised by my wonderful husband – he surprised me with a planned Valentines Day evening out. Unbeknownst to me, he asked my sister to watch the baby and then he took me to Color Me Mine! Oh, I LOVED it! I am such an artsy person and I've done a previous painting project there before, but it has been a long time since then and I was thankful to have this bonding time with my love! The cool part is he actually participated and enjoyed it – if you knew my husband you would know that this totally is not his thing, so I really appreciate the kind thought, planning, and participation. After we finished painting our projects – a tea cup for me and a tile coaster for him – he took me to a romantic dinner at the Summit House! This restaurant has an old English Inn feel to it and the food was delicious, the wine was great, and the live pianist, fireplace, and amazing views overlooking the city really created the perfect ambiance for a romantic dinner. The evening ended with a beautiful heart-filled card and 3 new lovely pashminas to add to my collection – I LOVE pashminas! I really felt loved yesterday and was overwhelmed by my husbands thoughtfulness – he is not the planning type of guy so this was a big deal :).
My son just started school 3 weeks ago and I signed up to bring in goodies for his class – I am definitely going to be that kind of mom and I LOVE it! So, I made little goodie bags for his classmates and gifts for his teachers. I thought I would share these super easy DIY projects with you. Also, I bought almost everything for these projects from the Dollar Tree – so it goes to show you don't have to spend alot to put together a thoughtful gift.
DIY Tutorial Steps:
Materials: coffee mugs, candy, tissue paper, medium and large heart doilies, heart sticks, and gift wrapping ribbon
1. Insert the medium heart doily into the coffee mug, with the colored side facing up. Adjust it so that the heart shape is visible.
2. Fill the coffee mug with candy.
3. Write a note on the large doily and take two heart sticks and stick it through the bottom of the doily and into the mug until it reaches the bottom.
4. Layer 2 sheets of tissue paper and wrap it upwards, gathering it right above the base of the coffee mug. Use ribbon to tie a knot and secure the gather. Feel free to tie a bow and/or curl the ribbon.
Here is the goodie bags that I put together for my son's class:
(Buy the items for your goodie bags and make sure they are age appropriate. Fill goodie bags and tie them with a pipe cleaner. Make a heart from the ends of the pipe cleaner, joining the ends in the middle and twisting them to make a heart shape.)
The teachers and kids LOVED their gifts! It only took an hours of my time to put together but the satisfaction of smiles on the kid's faces and thankfulness from the teachers was priceless. All in all this Valentines Day has been a blessing and I wish a very heart-filled and loving day. Try to bless someone else today and remember we should celebrate love year round – not just on Valentines Day!
I decided to do something different and special today, so no Etsy Thursday this week – but please stop by next week for some more Etsy Wedding inspiration! In the meantime, feel free to LIKE us on Facebook and FOLLOW us on Pinterest for more lovely wedding, DIY, and event decor inspiration!
3D-Memoirs wishes you all a Happy Valentines Day!!

Two very prominent doctors made very interesting statements over the last few days.
Prof Paul Tambyah naughtily suggested that DPM Tharman Shanmugaratnam should one day fall out with PM Lee Hsien Loong and form his own political party "Pakatan Rakyat Singapura".
He commended the PAP Deputy Prime Minister as one outstanding and capable minister.
Why is the prof commending a political rival? Simply because DPM Tharman has earned much reverence from ALL Singaporeans. The prof needs to find a common factor to align himself to.
But wait a minute. On what basis does Singaporeans across political divide are holding DPM Tharman in such high esteem? Have they interacted with him as I have? Most of their judgement comes from the media. But let's look at the other side of media, aren't they providing everything alternate including the esteemed attributes of DPM Tharman?
I conclude, people across political divide are still relying on Mainstream Media for reliable information. Reading alternate media is their indulging in salacious fix, it gives them pleasure.
But the ironic emerges when the prof's own political party is making rubbish of the esteemed DPM's work? CPF, GIC, Temasek, Medishield Life, etc etc. All and all needs DPM Tharman's consent, and DPM is known for being meticulous and into details.
Can you on one hand says this man is absolutely capable and on the other hand rubbished his works thereafter? You just don't make sense. You can only say one of these, and which one?
By saying DPM is rubbish, you insult the intelligence of ALL Singaporeans, but by saying he is highly capable, you are endorsing his works but destroys the integrity of the oppositions who are attacking all those issues.
Now what? The most suspicious of the two is "there is a real question to the integrity of the oppositions". Period.
Next......please read Part Two.https://www.facebook.com/Anthony-Kan-Page-620606971399453/timeline/

Kitchen Nightmares and Virtual Reality.
Kitchen Nightmares
Kitchen Nightmares
I'm not talking about Gordon Ramsey, but I wish I was. Last night I had my first real experience with Virtual Reality gaming. I was only really interested in checking it out, maybe playing one of its multitudinous glorified tech demos and seeing whether or not it would give me crippling motion sickness but I got way more than I bargained for. At the behest of Joy the girl I chose a game called Kitchen. I clicked on it totally expecting to be chopping onions and carrots and putting them into some soup. What I got was the first time I've ever been truly scared playing a game.

Gone would be the days in the long wedding gowns. Chic brides are in and how! Quick wedding dresses have already been in trend since the previous handful of years. Shorter bridal gowns is usually just as lovely as conventional lengthy ones.
Quick wedding dresses are available in different style which is often worn on several occasions. Unlike the lengthy gown which remains only for the wedding occasion, shorter gowns is usually worn as cocktail dresses also. So it in not limited to being just a one particular time put on dress. Wear it as several times as you like. You can pair it with pumps, group it with bling or place on a printed scarf. The dresses are available in unique silhouettes ranging from A-line, sheath, ball gown, and princess to empire which can be worn based on wearer's particular physique figure. Designers have taken into consideration each aspect of it and therefore have come up with higher rise waistlines at the same time. This fits into every single category it is possible to consider and makes a great style statement.
Mini wedding dresses have began coming in varieties of colours and textures. The old school white gown has evolved into different colours ranging from ivory, white and champagne to burgundy. The embellishments comes in range from floral, criss-cross, pleated, beading, applique, zipper, sash, tiered to satin flowers on the dress! The fabric comes inside a wide variety which adds to a further optimistic aspect of the dress. It comes in net, satin, taffeta, silk like, chiffon, lace, matte satin and even organza.
The sleeve length in mini wedding dresses might be not merely quick sleeve but sleeveless also. Unique neck lines ranging from strapless, sweetheart, jewel, V-neck, halter, one shoulder, bateau to spaghetti straps gives you different alternatives to go with unique types of accessories and accordingly light or perhaps a heavy make-up. A diamond necklace on a strapless neckline with heavy make-up makes a glowing and full of attitude statement as well as a sweetheart neckline with light make up on a fair face is a pure example of very simple yet attractive dressing sense.
All mini wedding dresses possess a constructed in bra and are totally lined and hence don't call for a petticoat. It goes great with stiletto heels. Furthermore, Mini wedding dresses are comparatively less expensive than the traditional extended wedding gowns so this can be also an excellent point to go with short wedding dresses!

Here he is right after he was born....5 pounds, 5 oz...18.5 inches long...a tiny little thing. He came at 36 weeks because my amniotic fluid was low. He was absolute perfection.
The two pictures below are when Jackson was 1 and then when he was 2.
Here's my big 3 year old! I walked into his playroom to find him giving himself tattoo sleeves. That was fun to wash off.
And here he is at almost 4 years old this summer in France. Still has great hair.
Dear Jackson,
I love love love love love you to the moon and back. I can not imagine my life without you in it. You have truly been a gift from God to your dad and I. You have taught us so much about ourselves, but also how to be better people.
You are so kind to everyone you meet, always greeting everyone with a hug, smile and a great big "Heeeyyy!!!" You are a social butterfly and I love watching you include others in whatever it is you are doing.
You have a love for God that is so pure and joyful. You always are the first to want to say a prayer for someone when you know they are hurting and you have the sweetest and most mature prayers. It is so evident that God is working in your life and that you want to help others to know Him as well.
I think you understood more about your brother than your dad and I ever could. It's almost as if you knew he would be living with God sooner than any of us thought, because of the way you accepted and taught us about Heaven. You said to me once, "Mommy, don't be sad...Zayah is in Heaven! With Jesus! And God! He's playing basketball and wrestling and he is so so happy. God is feeding him his bottle and making him pizza. It's going to be ok." How you knew to put it in those exact words showed me just how in tune you are with God.
You make me laugh harder than I ever thought was possible. You are so quick witted, smart and thoughtful in all that you say. Most of the time I think you are smarter than I am. Which you probably are. :)
Every night I always tell you how special you are and how you can be anything that you want to be. I hope you know just how true this is. I will always support you in whatever you decide to do in your life because I know you are following your heart.
It is an HONOR, my love, to be your mommy. Thank you for being my son!!!!
Love you THHIIISSSS MMMUUUCCCCCHHHH (arms stretched out wide),

Portland, Ore., and Tallahassee, Fla. (PRWEB) November 03, 2015
For the second year, the Florida Regional Consortium Program (FRCP) announced that it will provide digital literacy and digital content solutions to North East Florida Educational Consortium (NEFEC), Panhandle Area Educational Consortium (PAEC) and Heartland Educational Consortium (HEC) member districts and non-consortia qualifying schools at no cost. The FRCP was developed through a partnership with Learning.com and the Florida Department of Education (DOE) and is funded by the Florida legislature.
Florida passed legislation in 2011 requiring that by the 2015-16 school year, all adopted K-12 student instructional materials would be available in a digital format and that half of textbook budgets were to be spent on digital instructional materials. In 2014, the Florida DOE announced that it would be moving forward with an online statewide assessment known as the Florida Standards Assessment (FSA). The goal of the FRCP is to support the DOE's guidelines by providing solutions to rural districts in Florida that increase the availability of digital content in the classroom and equip students to succeed on online assessments. Last year, 238 schools participated with a combined enrollment of 144,750 students and the program is expected to grow well beyond that this year.
"Learning.com is focused on supporting districts' digital education programs to help them ensure their students build digital literacy skills and have access to quality digital instructional content," said Keith Oelrich, CEO of Learning.com. "We're proud to be partnering with the forward-thinking school districts participating in the FRCP that are committed to preparing their students for success in school, college and their future career opportunities."
Through the program, schools have access to Learning.com's digital literacy solutions, EasyTech and Inquiry, as well as Curriculum Foundry, which helps districts build and share custom digital curriculum with a comprehensive set of curriculum building tools that includes a repository of OER and other free digital resources. Professional development is also included as part of the program, with Learning.com hosting webinars and face-to-face training at regionally selected sites.
"NEFEC and our 15 member school districts are thrilled to be partnering with Learning.com again this year to provide our students with a comprehensive program to build keyboarding and other critical digital literacy skills," said Jim Surrency, executive director of NEFEC. "By using Curriculum Foundry, districts can create their own digital curriculum – helping them meet their core subject-area instructional goals, while saving time and resources."
About Learning.com
Founded in 1999, Learning.com currently partners with nearly 15,000 schools, 2,500 districts and serves 5 million students. Learning.com provides K-12 solutions to help students, teachers, and schools excel in a digital world.

I have an ongoing project to take the older stuff (animation and other things) and bring them up to date with HD animation and any other improvements that are needed. It's not my priority but it's something I'm working on between other projects. Following on from the remake of Leprocop, the next trailer in the series Pacman Begins was the next one to get the treatment.

In a previous post on the increasing role of jump drives on productivity, -- aka memory sticks or flash drives -- several portable programs were listed. This is the first product review from that list. The first program to be reviewed, naturally, is EssentialPIM, an information manager that resembles a stripped-down Outlook.
Installation was extremely simple. Like all portable applications, it was a matter of unzipping/installing the program into a folder on the jump drive. Some portable programs make their own folder on the drive, but one must be created for EssentialPIM. If you purchase the Pro version, a registration key, in the form of a file, is emailed to the customer. Simply drop the file into the main Essential PIM folder with the rest of the files and the program recognizes it. The program immediately recognizes if other information managers are present on the computer and offers to import their data into EssentialPIM. That being done, the installation is complete.
- EPIM Today - This component is similar to Outlook Today. So similar, one could easily become confused that it was Outlook that was being viewed. The giveaway is the fact that EPIM does not have an email program.
- Schedule - The calendar component, again, resembles Outlook's calendar. The main difference is that colors, when applied to appointments, are gradients rather than solid and the appointment dialog is extremely stripped down, leaving only the essentials. Entering appointments is the same as in Outlook.
- To Do - Entering To Do's -- or Next Actions for those GTDers out there -- is very straightforward. Call up the dialog box and fill in the fields. One nice improvement in the paid "Pro" version is that Next Actions can be listed in a tree-hierarchy. One thing that I've begun doing is listing my major objectives as To Do's and putting projects and their Next Actions inside the objectives. This way I can see when my daily actions are truly linked to an important goal that I've set and I'm not looking busy but not moving toward my goals.
- Notes - A minimalistic notes system, more similar to Yahoo!'s notes. One can, however, add photos, links, and format the text. Again, call up the dialog box and write your note.
- Contacts - The ubiquitous contact list that allows one to save personal and business contact information, notes, and a picture.
The one feature from Outlook that I miss is the ability to simply type a Next Action into a field on the list view. On EPIM, one must always call up the dialogue box.
The "Pro" -- read paid -- edition allows multiple users to access the database, the linking of actual documents to contacts, appointments, and tasks, assigning tasks to others for tracking, advanced back-up features, sending items using the user's default email program, editing categories of events and tasks, and synchronization with a PocketPC or Smartphone.
Although it lacks an email component and the collaboration components of Outlook, for sheer portability, EPIM fits my needs just fine. I'm always near my computer at work or at home and they are always on, so I simply got tired of carrying my Palm around. Since I carry my jump drive everywhere anyway, the addition of EPIM lightened my load in what I carry during the day.
The cost of the Pro version was excessive, in my view. At $39 for the portable version and $29 for the standard version, I feel they are overpriced. I needed the features found in the paid version and GTDers will need it to be able to customize their categories for their different contexts. For most people, however, the free version will suffice nicely.

I know, I know. Pears were so four weeks ago. But when this recipe appeared in my inbox via my subscription to the always wonderful Smitten Kitchen, I couldn't resist trying it out for myself. I have a feeling you'll appreciate just as much as I did how the curvaceous sweetness of the pear tangos with the tart punch of that holiday staple, the cranberry. And what made this cooking experience particularly enjoyable was that it took place in the huge, industrial kitchen of my friend's incredibly friendly co-op house. This kitchen meets the eating needs of nearly thirty people every day of the year, so you can imagine the proportions that must be maintained. To give you a taste, consider these literal BUCKETS of flour and sugar (pictured below). Basically, I could have easily made forty pear and cranberry crumbles with these kind of ingredients on hand, but thankfully just one sufficed this time.
pear, cranberry and gingersnap crumble
the crumble topping
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 cup gingersnap cookies, crushed into crumbs
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
the filling
5 large ripe pears, peeled, halved, cored and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
juice and zest of one lemon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Crush your gingersnaps. With emotion.
Stir together the flour, sugars, gingersnap crumbs, ginger and salt. Stir in the melted butter to form large crumbs.
Peel, core and slice your pears. It's okay if you nearly mutilate the pears in the process of coring them, but if you happen to have that strangest of kitchen appliances the melon baller, I would recommend you use that. My cored pears are not pictured here for a reason (it wasn't pretty).
In a baking dish (2 quarts should do it), mix together the pears, cranberries, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, stir the sugar and cornstarch together then toss with the fruit mixture in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the gingersnap crumble over the fruit. Set the crumble on a foil-lined baking sheet, so as not to risk destroying your oven (or your friend's oven) with oozing juice. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crumble is golden brown. Let cool for fifteen minutes.
This should probably be eaten with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, but was still pretty mind-blowing on its own. Many thanks to Gregory Co-Op for providing a kitchen to cook in!

1st Army 25-pounders
Half a 25-pounder battery, these ones with the one-piece resin bases. Which I have learned to hate. Terrible things, BF should simply have made the scenic "dug-in" bits in metal and sold them separately, much easier.

Hungarian Motorised Infantry Platoon
The first completed platoon of Hungarian infantry, painted to represent a platoon from the Motorised Infantry (blue collar tabs). These were done with Mid War in mind, though usable for Late War and the defence of Hungary in 1944-45 as well. Figures by Battlefront.
Naturally, just when I thought I'm done painting "English Uniform"...I choose an Axis force in the same scheme. The light equipment carried aids a simple, clean paint job, not much to distract from the main elements
The mix of poses is OK, some more variety would have been nice but the larger-than-normal platoon size also means you tend to see the same poses more easily. These do get rather monotonous; the whole platoon seems to take ages to get done. That and my project-ADD does not help either.
Now for the next plat....wait, I was doing HG wasn't I...yeah...oh look, shiny new Hellcats...

About a month ago, I went to the Natural Health Magazine's Urban Wellness Retreat in New York City. I first found about about this event through Kris Carr's website, but unfortunately Kris couldn't make it. The inspirational event was, however, filled with so many other amazing speakers (such as Gabby Bernstein) and healthy tips that it was impossible not to fall in love with everything about that day! I left there giddy with so much new information that I just cannot help but share with all of you.
Oh and the goodie bags filled to the brim with snacks and beauty products that we all received at the end were pretty good too!
**5 Health Tips from Urban Wellness Retreat**
1. Read labels. Denise Mari from Organic Avenue taught me to read all of the grocery labels, even fresh produce labels. It is not enough to just read the back of a box of food for the number of calories or the grams of sugar; you have to look at the ingredient list. Ingredients are listed in order according to their weight, so try to stay away from things with sugar in the first three ingredients. I also learned about the fresh produce labels where the 4-degit number starting with a 4 means conventional, while 5-digit number starting with 9 means organic.
2. Use natural products. Shel Pink from Spa Ritual, a vegan nail polish brand, said to soak hands and feet in lemon juice to reduce yellowing of nails from nail polish!
3. Eat rainbow colored foods: Jeffery Morrison M.D. of preventative medicine suggested to eat fruits and vegetables with colors, such as blueberries, spinach, tomatoes, corn and avoid food that cause inflammation, such as processed food, fast food, and sugar. But if you really can't cut out sugar, try to use all natural sweetener, such as honey and maple syrup. His rule of thumb: go for the berries and brussels sprouts.
4. Vegetarian food can be amazing too: The "scrumptious" vegetarian lunch that I had there was delicious! This lunch has opened my eyes to so many different food options. I usually cook vegetarian food anyway, like my rainbow fried rice, but the conference lunch had introduced me to a whole new world of vegetarian food. Um hello, quinoa!
5. Be supermarket savvy: Danny Seo, the Eco-Stylist, taught us how to navigate Wholefoods. Did you know that they have coupons there? And did you also know that they have weekly markdowns every Wednesday? What about that its cheaper to buy from their bulk bins? Apparently, Danny bought a box of cereal with only two coupons! Wow!
Julie Sophonpanich is a senior at Brown University concentrating in History of Art and Architecture. She enjoys cooking, hosting dinner parties, strolling through grocery stores, and traveling to sample delicious foreign foods.

Great info – just to share on the colors of foods, here's a brief article on Chinese food: http://www.chinesefoodhealth.com/tag/five-color-diet/
Ooh I love knowing the ins and outs of stores. Sounds like a great event! And I love brussels sprouts! I think it's catching on because I've noticed some bars have begun serving them like snack food – yum!
So good to know about the difference between the numbers on organic produce vs. conventional produce labels!! I will be checking for this in the future!
Hi, this is a very interesting web page and I have enjoyed reading many of the articles and posts contained on the website, keep up the good work and hope to read some more interesting content in the future. Thank you so much.http://isitjustdownforme.com/

one of the most exciting concepts in transistor designs in recent years has been the multi-gate finfet transistor. the finfet and other multi-gate designs, such as intel's tri-gate transistor, have superior electrical properties than conventional single-gate transistors. multi-gate designs reduce electrical leakage, increase amplification, switch faster, and use substantially less power switching on and off. moreover, they should be manufacturable with only modest changes to fabs. motorola has improved their finfet design by enabling these finfets to operate at lower voltages. virtually every ic company has a multi-gate transistor design now. besides motorola and intel, amd and tsmc have also produced multi-gate designs. it seems now that the only real questions are when these multi-gate designs will be used, and what exact form (double gate, tri-gate, etc.) they will take. thanks to goatguy for providing a valuable tutorial on this subject.

|intel lovin'? (4:59am est thu nov 28 2002)
you've gotta read, intels tri-gate dst information pdf thingy. :) technical hey…
the reasoning behind the tri-gate design is that it allows the relationship between the gate thickness (not length) and actual gate length to be much better, with the overall affect of improving scaling down of the gate.
there was loads of other cool stuff about gate capacitance and background radiation effects.
it makes for an interesting read, (though to be honest i did get lost with some of the more complex specifics.) but hey "live 'n' learn" – by anqe

Topic Page: merger
Combination of two or more businesses with equal standing, resulting in the creation of a new company. Unlike in an Acquisition, no one party acquires the other, and the management of the new company has representatives from both entities. Only equity shares are exchanged, rather than a sale. True mergers are rare where the resulting union is not lopsided, however.
in corporate business, fusion of two or more corporations by the transfer of all property to a single corporation. The remaining corporation continues in existence, having absorbed the other(s). Mergers may be of various types: A vertical merger integrates different types of businesses that may share a supplier-customer relationship; a horizontal merger brings together related businesses; an extensional merger. joins two similar businesses to enter a new market; and a hostile takeover occurs when a stronger business absorbs another against its will. The methods of effecting mergers vary. Often the corporation that continues to function makes an outright purchase of the property and stock of the others; exchange of bonds, options, and other agreements are also employed by the corporations involved.
Mergers may be effected to increase profits and reduce losses through the reduction of competition, to diversify production, to protect against the liabilities of concentration in a single area, or to revive or rejuvenate failing businesses by the infusion of new management and personnel. Mergers for monopolistic purposes were among the unfair practices that the Sherman Antitrust Act (1890) and, more especially, the Clayton Antitrust Act (1914) attempted to correct. The international nature of many modern corporations now also subjects mergers to antitrust scrutiny overseas, particularly in the European Union.
The end of the 20th cent. witnessed a great increase in mergers; in the United States alone, 60,375 mergers involving a total of over $4.5 trillion occurred between 1980 and 1996. Among the largest recent U.S. mergers are those between America Online and Time Warner (2000; $165 billion, but worth significantly less after the bubble in Internet-related stocks collapsed), Exxon and Mobil (1999; $81 billion); Citicorp and Travelers Corp. (1998; $72.6 billion), AT&T and Bell South (2006; $67 billion), SBC Communications and Ameritech (1998; $60.1 billion), and AT&T and TCI (1999; $48 billion).

Anglo-Indian Wedding & Reception
All of the examples in this section are of our own work, which we hope will give you some inspiration for your event. Looking at past events can help to establish what you like, and don't like, to develop a clear picture of your requirements. At this stage some people choose to employ a wedding or party planner to bring all of their ideas together into a coherent brief.
Whilst every event is completely bespoke, this section aims to outline how we interpret a brief, the equipment we suggest and a guide to the costs. We try to be clear about what we provided and what was supplied by the client, party planner or other contractors.
£10 to £15k
Nr Bicester, Oxfordshire
Arrange a site meeting to discuss how a marquee would work at your venue.
A marquee to host a wedding reception for around 250 guests. The ceremony will be outdoors by the lake, but the marquee needed to be able to fit the ceremony space.
The site is in a field which slopes down towards a lake so required a solid floor and needed loos, power and a kitchen.
The bride is an interior stylist and had a clear sense of the look she wanted in the marquee. A light airy feel and bright colours where imported.
We designed separate marquees for the reception area and dining room with steps between them. The dining room marquee spanned a green oak tree and had a clear gable overlooking the lake and ceremony area.
The marquee was built over two days. Coping with uneven ground and a slope gave us a challenge to line up the flooring so that the tree was in the right location, and the far end of the marquee captured the view of the lake perfectly.
The marquee complex was large but access to the site was very good and dry weather meant we could get vehicles right next to the marquee area.
Marquees & Pavilions installed the structures, flooring, loos and power supply. We installed the marquee linings, carpet, lighting, heating and electrical distribution. We also supplied the furniture and dance floor in the marquee.
The clients used a separate supplier for the guest chairs for the ceremony as we did not want to leave ours outside overnight and they did not want to arrange 250 chairs on the morning of the wedding.
Photographs came from Belissima Photography and videography from Film AM weddings.
This was one clients vision, but please contact us to discuss you requirements and get a bespoke quotation for your event.

I do my best teaching in January and February. It seems that I've had a nice long break to rejuvinate me and we have ML King holiday and Presidents day. With a lot of 4 day weeks I feel a bit of panic to get everything taught just in case we are blessed with any snow days! I guess that is why I have been working on so many flipcharts! Anytime we have "down" time in my classroom (NEVER!) I can pull up a flipchart and the students play the quiet game and when they get picked it is their turn to answer a question on the board. This works great in the event of vomit and/or sick kid, parent or teacher dropping in, principal needing paper work right away or while I count picture, fundraiser, field trip money, etc.Thats why I am attempting to make them mostly self checking. Here is teen number one that I can't wait to use & share with my coworkers when we get back to school!

The story of their relations with Fabio Capello will make fascinating reading one day, as will their view of 4-4-2. But England's chastened squad can have no complaints about their treatment by the Football Association, who left nothing to chance in giving the players the best facilities.
For 25 days, England stayed at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Campus, Portion 30 of the Farm, Boekenhoutfonteing, and any supporter straying into the newly vacated camp on Tuesday would have been stunned.
It was not simply the luxury accommodation in the Royal Marang Hotel (and no jokes about England getting their just deserts), or that Capello and his players were looked after by someone with the grand title of "Executive House-keeping Manager''.
Nor was it simply the magnificent pitch prepared for Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard and company, which still had its corner-flags fluttering rather half-heartedly.
The England fan would be stunned by the great lengths and immense expense the FA went to in feeding, tending and trying to amuse the players. It's not just the supporters who should feel let down. It's the FA.
The food was cooked by an accomplished chef borrowed from West Ham United, Tim De'ath, who discussed with nutritionists the best type of meals, including oatcakes with cottage cheese or salmon to be consumed at 4pm. Also in Capello's 35-strong back-room party – rather more than Alf Ramsey's reliance on Les Cocker and Harold Shepherdson – was the medical team.
This was experienced and plentiful, numbering one doctor, an orthopaedic surgeon, two physios, an osteopath
and four masseurs. One block of the Royal Bafokeng was a state-of-the-art medical centre.
Throughout their stay at what became Heartbreak Hotel, England players kept talking about "boredom'' – even the brighter ones like Frank Lampard who have read more than the front cover of a book. In the main hotel block, the FA installed a library, although the only books that seemed to be taken out were The Damned United and Lance Armstrong's It's Not About The Bike.
As well as the usual areas for watching games and playing pool or darts, the FA's technology and IT staff provided all manner of computer equipment. In the main football block, empty boxes of Wii games were piled on the landing. If the players needed any assistance with laptops, an FA IT man was on call.
These Premier League stars are well looked after by their clubs but the England operation is up another level. On the kit front, 12 tons of equipment was brought to South Africa, including more than 300 pairs of boots.
The laundry area flooded before the Algeria game, leaving the two kit men hurriedly having to deal with shirts and shorts floating through dirty water. The carpet tiles were lifted, placed to dry outside and have still to be re-laid.
Capello, Lampard and the rest may have left the Royal Bafokeng but there is still the kit to follow. Tons of it.
The kit rooms and laundry rooms still contain all the usual dressing-room detritus, a discarded white sock, forgotten
flip-flops, a used towel and a blue scrubbing brush for boots. Kit was everywhere, some in skips but most stuffed into more than 30 big bags, coloured red, black and white.
Between all the kit lay more than 20 boxes of chewing gum and bottles shower gel. There were a couple of bags of Jabulani balls that only Gerrard and Ashley Cole came close to mastering. Leaning against the wall were a collection of red poles for dribbling practice.
Left on the stairs were two (unopened) boxes of Durbanville Hills Wine (one red, one white). This crop of England internationals is pretty abstemious, with players like James Milner being teetotal, and there was no sign of any wake to match the Euro 96 players' reaction to defeat to Germany.
Overlooking the pristine training pitch, and the distant mining slag heap beyond, are the Assistants' Office and the Coach's Office. Discarded on the floor lay an empty box labelled "Opposition Reports'' while a red FA bag rested on the table. It was clear that England had left their five-star camp in a hurry.
So player laments about exhaustion and boredom will not garner any sympathy. As one member of the Armed Forces, watching the Germany game in Afghanistan, shouted at the screen: "The players should try coming out here for six months.''

The sketch looks like this:
And this is the layout I created, using the Nook's April 2012 kit (filled with Crate Paper) and the "Vintage Typewriter" die from Tim Holtz (love it!):
some details:
My page is about my mom. My mother passed away 3 years ago but what I remember best about her is that she was always telling my sister and me that "independency" was one of the most important things in life! I think she was actually one of the first feminists in The Netherlands. When we grew up my mother always had a job and thus had her own income and she was the one with the drivers license (and not my dad)! And that's what my layout is about!!
If you like the challenge or if you want to see what the other designers made, have a look at "Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge" blog.
This was my contribution this month. Thanks Anne for asking me to be your guest designer. Loved it!!
Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you back soon!
