The plans for our 2014 event are well under way – this is your chance to add to the buzz!
Downloadable pdf version available here.
Check out the photos taken during our 2013 Wrapped in St Marys event – new images added today!
Here's a taste of what you'll see:
Just so there's no excuse for not having enough time to come up with ideas and designs, we are announcing next year's theme early!
The 2014 theme will be (fanfare please!) – SWITCHED ON
The idea is to design and make a wrap for a power pole. This is the street art component of our Wrapped in St Marys annual event.
Here are some of the 2013 connected entries, just to give you an idea of possibilities:
Size: 1.5 m high (maximum) x 90 cm wide (approximately)
Power poles vary in circumference – the smallest I've found is 86 cm, but some are over 100 cm.
The solution: make your power pole wrap adjustable!
More photos of 2013 entries here …
Visitors to our 2013 event were invited to vote for their favourite power pole wrap, and did so with enthusiasm.
After votes were counted at the end of day 2, the results were extremely close, with only 1 vote between each of the top 3 choices.
And the winner is (drum roll please) – Kelly Farrell of St Marys!
Here is the wrap she created:
Appropriate subject too, since Mt. Elephant is a prominent local landmark!
Stitchedupmama and friends are on a mission!
Stitchedupmama's efforts so far –
And her partners in crime –
Updates and pics soon …
There's still time to enter your textile art in our Wrapped in St Marys 2013 event – download an entry form here and get creative!
Here are some of last year's entries to inspire you:
Cash prizes in several categories – and the added bonus is that your art will be there for our locals and visitors to enjoy!
It's building up to be a wonderful Wrapped in St Marys event this year!
A number of businesses and community organisations are participating – more than in 2012, which is great.
Some have even offered discounts on presentation of the program!
Street art, exibitions, the annual car show and more are on offer.
AND the latest news is that there will be a shuttle bus service around the streets, thanks to Community Transport Services Tasmania. Great for anyone who isn't as mobile as they would like to be!
The program also includes details about where to eat, where to stay and even where to go to church on Sunday.
Time to start making plans to come and stay for a great weekend! And don't forget your winter woollies …

Bridge Day 2-Building from PlansBy discoverylab | May 19, 2016 | Engineering, Project Work
Yesterday, we broke into two groups and I asked students to follow simple diagrams to create two different kinds of bridges from toothpicks and marshmallows. In the past, students have worked independently on engineering challenges and worked from their own imaginations but today, I wanted to explore collaboration and following blue prints. I first asked if anyone had built a Lego set on their own as our plans were similar, without words and easy to follow. Everyone said yes. I laid out two different plans and let them see that they could not build separately because the sides of each triangle or square was part of another triangle or square.
Each group built and tested their first bridge then I switched their directions and they built a second bridge from instructions.
Next, I asked them to use what they learned about the stability of different geometric shapes to design and build their own bridge.
Today we will explore weights and measurement of humans for a experiment in tension. Comparing weights and trying to align two teams similar in mass then attempting a suspension bridge tug of war where nobody wins.

Nevada Long-Term Care
Specific long-term care information pertaining to Nevada.
Important State Information
Federal Partnership Program
The State of Nevada participates in the federal/state long-term care partnership program. Federal law gives authority to the states to establish these partnership programs to help people protect their assets from the high costs of long-term care. The federal Deficit Reduction Act (DRA)of 2005 set standards and gave states the ability to approve these plans.
The Nevada Long-Term Care Partnership Program is designed to encourage individuals to purchase long-term care insurance by allowing Medicaid to disregard some or all of their assets for eligibility purposes. However, individuals who do not have partnership-certified Long-Term Care Insurance will not qualify for the program.
Policy Example
It works very simply. if your qualified long-term care partnership policy paid $300,000 in benefits the state would "disregard" that amount from your estate in qualification for Medicaid long-term care benefits. Generally, Medicaid requires a spend-down of assets, a Nevada Partnership Long-Term Care policy provides dollar-for-dollar asset protection so a consumer can keep a portion of their estate based on the value of the benefits paid out and still access Medicaid. The Partnership Program also protects those assets after death from Medicaid estate recovery.
Most states have reciprocity with other states' long-term-care partnership programs including Nevada. This means if you move from or to Nevada your partnership asset protection follows you as well.
Long-Term Care Medicaid spend down is $2,000. A spouse's minimum asset allowance is $25,284. Your spouse's minimum monthly income allowance is $2,057.50. *
For more information about the Medicaid program visit www.medicaid.gov.
Products Approved in Nevada
A variety of products are approved in Nevada for Long-Term Care planning. These include traditional plans, including partnership certified policies, short-duration policies, and asset-based "hybrid" plans.
Tax Incentives
There are no state tax incentives available in Nevada at this time. Federal tax incentives are available.
*The federal government sets a new minimum and maximum amounts each year, but states can set their own minimum requirements at any level between the federal limits. This information is based on the best available sources.

Long-Term Care Throughout Nevada
Las Vegas
The City of Las Vegas is the nation's 28th-most populated city and the largest city in Nevada. The metro area includes the city of Henderson, Paradise and Spring Valley. The average cost of a skilled nursing facility runs $9,338 a month. The cost of an Assisted Living Facilityaverages $3,168 a month. Adult Day Care Centers average $1,647 a month. Care at home, based on a 44-hour week, averages $4,195 a month.
The Reno metro area, which includes Carson City and Fernley, is the other major population center in the state. The average cost of a skilled nursing facility runs $8,616 a month. The cost of an Assisted Living Facilityaverages $4,000 a month. Adult Day Care Centers average $1,560 a month. Care at home, based on a 44-hour week, averages $4,385 a month.
Area 51/Homey Airport/Groom Lake
Area 51 does not have known facilities for long-term care, at least for humans. Generally, Long-Term Care Insurance only provides coverage in the United States, in addition to limited international coverage. However, no company offers coverage on alien planets or, for that matter, any intergalactic coverage. On Earth, you must be a human being to be eligible for coverage, alien life forms of any kind would generally not be eligible.
More Locations
Other population centers in Nevada include Elko, Enterprise, Pahrump, Sparks, Summerlin South Sun Valley, Sunrise Manor, Whitney, and Winchester.

First things First: Digesting your TLC 360 results
The first thing you owe yourself is just to notice when and how you are reacting. And notice what its costing you.
Yup, just even becoming aware of that is a big deal.
This reactive tendency of yours has been unconscious and automatic for a long, long time.
So just noticing how it shows up in your personal life with your loved ones and when it gets triggered at work is Job #1.
Think of it as the bargain you made with life. You wanted to be successful and reacting like this seemed like the safest way.
But it actually had you tie your worth to a condition.
Like... I am worthy only if….
- I do what I am told; or if
- everyone else is kept happy; or if
- I provide the best solutions; or if
- I don't rock the boat; or if
- I am always right; or if
- I figure it out all on my own; or if
- I can constantly show my value; or if
- I voice my opinion strongly
Whatever your version of this old story is, it's a lie.
Your worth is not linked to anything.
Your value is not dependant on any circumstances like how happy everyone around you is, how smart you seem to be or how many goals you exceed. Really.
Radical? Well, it's true. You are worthy as is.
Putting energy into being accepted, smart or an over achiever takes a lot of your energy and doesn't give you real results. Real results being a true, deep sense of fulfillment and creative achievements that are meaningful to you.
So the first place to look is to just be aware of when you are reacting.
What kind of situations cause you to go there - to try to please, to impose your opinion, to win at all costs. Who are you with, what seems at stake, and what you are giving up. What is it costing you?
Like when I had the idea of starting this blog, I went to my old story of "yah but they won't really give a shit anyway ...plus I don't know how to do that".
And so I sat on the idea for months. "I don't know what to write about … and I don't know that it would even make a difference to them if I did take the time to write…" Blah blah blah went the reasoning.
The cost to me? A nagging sense of failure. I had an idea that might help someone learn something valuable to them but I wasn't acting on it.
And perhaps a cost to you of not having information sooner.
Mostly just a constant sense of 'OK it might be safer not to stick my neck out by writing my opinions online to be judged (even by a small group of people!) but I don't feel like I am moving forward either'.
It wore me out! The energy it took up in the background of my head.
So here I am doing this blog anyway. Taking a risk.
Because my new story that energizes me way more than the old is that 'Well I care! And my answer to how is YES!'
So, what's your old story and what's it costing you?

(cheerful music) – Hey everyone! How's it going? It's me, Ann. So this month is dedicated
to back to school, and I will be doing home room decor DIYs, so today's video I want to
focus around the workspace area, the little home office or maybe a little workspace
in your dormitory. I'm going to show you
some DIYs that you can do with things that are in your
home or that is easy to find, and also functional. So let's go ahead and get started. This first DIY I'm going to
create a hanging pinning board, and what I love about this
is that you can use cardboard for this DIY. So you will need a nice,
thick piece of cardboard. What I did is that I took something that is circular in my home, I traced it on my cardboard, and then I cut it out with a box cutter. So I don't know if you guys are familiar with this piece of fabric, but
I used this in another DIY. I love to recycle and repurpose things, so I will be using this again, and I'm going to cover my
pinning board with this. All you're going to need to
do is lay the fabric down with the wrong side facing up. So I'm now going to take
out my Sharpie marker and I'm going to trace a cutting line around the edges of my cardboard. So it's going to be
about one and a half inch from the edge of my cardboard. And then after I cut that out, I'm going to take some hot glue and glue the edges to
the piece of cardboard. It's really simple to do. After you finish gluing
all the edges around, then you're going to take out a string, and on each end of the
string, you want to either pin it to the back of
your board or glue it on. Since I'm not going to
hang anything super heavy onto this board, I'm going
to add a whole bunch of glue to secure the ends in place. Let the glue dry completely, and then you should have a
really cool pinning board to hang up in your workspace. One thing I really, really
love to have on my work station is to have some real plants. I feel like real plants
bring in a good vibe in your work environment, and
it just livens up your mood, and at the same time, I feel
like it's good Feng Shui. So what we're going to do
is reuse some old tin cans, some old tea tin cans. I love drinking tea, so I have a whole bunch of tin cans left over and they're so cute I don't
want to throw them away. I also have some teacups
that are really pretty to just decorate, so I think that these would look so cute
together as little planters. The way you're going to make this is you will need some pebbles. You will need some succulents. Take out your empty container. The pebbles will prevent the soil from soaking up too much water, so we're gonna have that on the bottom. So now we're going to
add in the succulent, and what you want to do is
break up the soil a little bit, break up the roots so that
way when it grows in your pot it has some space and room. And then finish it off by
adding some pebbles on top to give it a nice clean look. So lastly, make sure to water your plant. You want to water this
about once or twice a week because succulents don't take much water. These are very low maintenance. However, they do need full sunshine. These turned out so amazingly cute. I really, really love them. I think these are my favorite
DIYs on the desk display. I mean, I love tea so I
get to look at my tea tins, and I also get to look
at my tea cup every day, and I just love the fact that
there are live plants in them. I love this DIY so much, you guys. Give it a big thumbs up, please, yes. To match my hanging pin board, I'm going to make a giant size mouse pad. I love having a giant size mouse pad, so I'm going to show
you how you can make one to match your pinning board. So I have this piece of wood right here that I think would be a perfect
base for my giant mouse pad. Now, you can also cut
out a piece of cardboard. What I'm going to do is lay this onto the wrong side of my fabric. And then you're going to
cut around the fabric. Just like the pinning board, you want to cut a one and a half inch seam around the base of the board. After you finish cutting that, we're going to glue the
edges onto the base. So after you're done, it should look something
like this on the back, so as you see, you have some
fabric around the edges. When you lay this on your table, it should feel nice and smooth. You won't get any scratchy edges. And then, on the front,
it should look like this where you have the beautiful print, and the fabric is nice and
soft enough for your mouse. All right guys, so fourth DIY,
it's very easy, very simple. I found this website that
allows you to print out customizable calendar pages. So I'll have that link below this video where you can go to my
blog, get that link, and print out whatever pages you want. Next, you are going to need a clipboard. I found a clipboard at Target,
and it was very inexpensive. All I did was spray paint it gold up top. I spray painted the hardware
gold, and then on the bottom, I created a gradient
effect with my gold paint, and it just gives it
a nice personal touch. You can buy other clipboards
that are ready to use, however, you guys know me. This is a DIY video, so of course I'm going to customize my own and make my own according
to how I like it, plus nobody else is going to
have the same exact clipboard. Guys, so for this last DIY
what we're going to do is personalize a boring
looking tray like this. If you don't know where to get trays, you can go to thrift stores. They have lots of trays
that you can take home, repaint, personalize. This one I actually
got from a craft store. As you can see, it's very boring looking, so I'm gonna give it my personal touch. What I did to my tray is
that I painted it all white, and now I'm gonna go to my
local home improvement store to get a customized piece of
glass for the inside of this. So, what I recommend
for you to do is measure the inside of your base,
and then have it cut out. Glue the bottom and
place your glass on top. I love how the glass looks. It gives it a nice,
beautiful, elegant effect and it just makes the
desk look so much spacier. At the same time, you can organize all of your little things into this tray. (cheerful music) That is it for today. Give this video a big thumbs up if you want to support my channel with all these fun DIYs,
and if you know anybody who is in need for a new workspace or wants to revamp their workspace, then make sure to share
this video with them. Other than that, if you guys
want to get weekly updates on my videos, just hit that

So I seriously haven't been to the Thrift Store in like 6 weeks. I. Know. Vacation, new job, cleaning (blech) all get in the way and disrupt my thrifting schedule. I've been trying to get to the Elephant's Trunk Flea for a few weekends now with no luck. I'm going to try (again) to go this Sunday if I can get everything else I need to do squared away first, of course.
This past Sunday I got up with the chickens and got a jump on my way over due housework. So by 10:30 I didn't feel too guilty about jumping in the car and heading out. While there was only one real stellar find, I am happy with my goods.
A small collection of vintage fabric and napkins. I love that blue rose print. There is a good amount and I already have an idea for it. The floral fabric in the center is a pair of pillow cases and those are TWELVE Vera napkins on the bottom. Cute, I know, but stellar? Not quite.
Some inexpensive scraps of new fabric. Sunday is half price on 4 colors so almost everything I picked up was 50% off. Still not stellar though.
I love to rescue handmade items, particularly cute baby blankets. I have to say, I love this color combo and it might be close to being my favorite find of the day but not number one . . .
Little aqua apron . . . adorable! I actually scored two of these and couldn't leave them behind. A future give away perhaps? Should they be decorated?
I love this shabby basket. The liner is a bit dirty and not very cute but I plan to use it as a pattern to make a new liner. I'm thinking of using that blue rose fabric. Then I'll pile up my vintage baby blankets in there.
And while I know you're expecting something like vintage table cloths or Pyrex so my stellar find MAY surprise you:
The corkscrew on the left is a vintage French Zig Zag. I believe it was made in 1953 and I found it in a bag for $1. I knew it was neat and I've been picking up vintage corkscrews here and there (the one on the right is a vintage Swiss design) but when I did some Googling on the Zig Zag it seems they are quite popular! One sold on Sunday on Ebay for $200. So a $1 true antique find? Stellar.

2500-3000RPM Engine Missing
Deadly Nedly posted a topic in Nissan Silvia (nissansilvia.com)I have looked for the answer on this and have not really found a definitive solution. It is difficult to search for something like this as people have so many terms for suspected miss fire; puttering, spluttering..... When the engine revs between 2500-3000 RPM there is an inconsistent miss. The miss only seems present when trying to maintain revs between 2500-3000, not while accelerating nor decelerating. It will occur in all gears as well as neutral free revving. If you have had this issue before and have solved it, or know of post where someone else has solved this issue can you please let me know. Thanks.

At 3D Fixtures, we believe that 3D printing can improve the product development and production process in a number of ways – but we also know that complex projects will always demand more than just one kind of manufacturing technique to come to full fruition. That's why we recently undertook a project with our sister company, Sunstone Circuits: to explore and demonstrate the complex and complimentary roles of traditional electronics manufacturing and 3D printing in the product development cycle.
To help keep our project grounded in reality, we chose to follow along with a recent trend in consumer electronics manufacturing – the smartwatch. Because we wanted to focus on the manufacturing aspects of development, we based our design on an open-source project. Our first step was to reproduce a working version of the open source, COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) electronics.
After the combined team, using the open source system as a baseline, settled on a specification for the electronics, and split up temporarily. While Sunstone Circuits went into production on the boards, 3D Fixtures went to work on mechanical prototypes and production tooling.
We took full advantage of the capabilities of our 3D printer in designing our prototypes, enabling us to iterate quickly and produce 3 unique designs using the same internal components but with widely varying appearances and user experiences. The precision of our 3D printer let us forgo fasteners for our parts in favor of press- and snap-fit joining.
We didn't just iterate on the watch exteriors, though. Although we knew we would only be making a handful of watch prototypes for this project, we wanted to keep the whole new product development cycle in mind. At the same time as we were experimenting with different designs, we were improving the process of assembly and testing for the watches. The internal features of the watch enclosures went through as many revisions as the exterior – the final designs could be assemble much more quickly and reliably, using easier motions that, compared to the initial design, would have been much more suited to a production line.
Even more importantly, we developed a 3D-printed tool to make the process of programming and testing the electronics a fast, straight-forward process. Without the tool, programming the blank boards would have either meant soldering and de-soldering multiple connections, or else adding specialized headers or connectors to the board – increasing cost and taking up valuable space on the board – and testing boards for full functionality prior to final assembly could have been similarly involved. Thanks to the ability of our printer to produce highly precise geometry, we were able to produce a single tool that combined the programming and testing steps into a single, easy process.
The programming jig features a socket that holds the boards in place on a set of spring-loaded contact pins, which align with the same through-holes used in the final assembly process. The socket is biased to only allow entry in the correct orientation, and spring-loaded retaining hook allow the boards to be pushed in on easy motion and removed just as easily. Once the board has been programmed, the same jig allows full testing – a display is connected alongside the programmer, and properly working boards automatically boot using it.
If you would like more details on this project, we invite you to download the case study from Sunstone Circuits case study page.

Educators will run continuous improvement cycles to drive change and share lessons learned. Students with Disabilities The Roxbury Special Education Network comprises a group of schools in the Roxbury neighborhood that collaborate to strengthen supports for students with disabilities in their schools. This NIC is grounded in improvement science principles and provides participating educators the opportunity to share best practices, lessons learned, and effective course corrections. We expect this network will improve outcomes for students with disabilities and their peers, and hope it will yield practices and partnerships that can be replicated in other school communities in Boston. Youth Off Track to Graduate This improvement community will work to strengthen outcomes for Boston students who are "off track" to graduate based on age and credit patterns. Our intent is to build educator ownership, leadership, and capacity to support these students—mostly students of color and students living in poverty—that systems has failed. Participants from schools in district, charter, and Catholic secondary schools will participate in workshops, test new practices, and convene several times a year to share their data. Based on these results, each school team will develop a plan to scale their pilot for their colleagues. Ultimately, we plan to document and disseminate findings across Boston schools.

The Originals Season 5 Episode 13 – TV Review
Much like last episode, I would be hesitant to call this episode, and series finale, a trainwreck. Because trainwrecks are actually exciting.
If I had to distill The Originals series finale down to one word (and this is the Internet, baby. Distilling complex ideas into clickbaity, list format is the name of the game), it would be "meh."
And "meh" is not how I want to feel about the finale of what once was the best vampire soap opera on the CW.
Even the TVD finale wasn't meh (it wasn't good, either. But you know).
It makes me wonder how much of a garbage dump the Legacies finale will be. And by "finale," I mean at the end of the first season. Do you really think that it'll be renewed?
The Originals Season 5 Episode 11 – TV Review
The only thing this gay wedding was missing was some good old soap opera drama hijinks.
And no, I don't count this last minute Do We Want Kids talk as drama.
I thought lesbians were supposed to be more organised than this?
The Originals Season 5 Episode 10 – TV Review
In an unrelated note, I saw a Toyota ad today with Ginger Spice from TVD.
See? There is a life after TVD. And it isn't to keep setting up Hope for that Legacies spin-off.
I'm just not keen, okay?
The Originals Season 5 Episode 9 – TV Review
The Originals continues its theft of things from Once Upon a Time, it seems.
Not only did they pillage Jaime Murray, but now they've followed OUaT Season 7's plan of hurriedly dumping all the new stuff you introduced in your final season in the ramp up to the series finale.
I mean, I'll allow it. But why emulate OUaT?
The Originals Season 5 Episode 7 – TV Review
I'd like to first start this post by correcting an error I made last episode: there was Hollow-quake action at the house when Elijah and Klaus were fighting. Remember that random hail? Yeah, I didn't last week, either.
But if a Hollow-quake happens in the woods, but it doesn't affect the scene in any way and only pretends to be important when it's brought up by a C-list character in the next episode in a suddenly-prophecy, does it make a story-impactful sound?
The Originals Season 5 Episode 6 – TV Review
My final note after watching this episode was "what the fuck were the writers thinking?"
And to be fair, we haven't reached I. Marlene King levels of WTFery yet.
But seriously?
The Originals Season 5 Episode 4 – TV Review
Nah, just kidding. Klaus doesn't hook up with Josh.
But what he does do is arbitrarily kill some barely-named, nothing minor characters.
This is the kind of quality content we've been looking for in our final season, right?

You may have noticed that movie theatres are more crowded than usual this summer. In an attempt to boost box office sales, Hollywood packed some of the year's biggest blockbusters into the summer months – including Iron Man 3, which is set at Christmas time.
The gamble appears to have worked, because Iron Man 3, along with Fast and Furious 6 and Star Trek: Into Darkness helped make this past May the best May ever for the movie industry – and summer didn't officially start until June 21.
While most of these films have earned decent reviews, at least part of their success comes down to good marketing. From innovative partnerships to branded content, Hollywood is getting creative with its promotional campaigns and it's paying off.
Man of Steel – 100 brand partners, from razors to pastors
Released: June 14
Worldwide opening: $200 million
Record: Best June opening in cinema history
In order to promote the latest Superman film, Warner Bros. studio partnered with more than 100 brands, including Gillette.
Through ads on television, in theatres and online, the razor brand is asking audiences, "How does Superman shave?"
Superman fans can vote for one of four "theories" proposed by celebrity "experts" on Gillette's YouTube channel (director Kevin Smith posits that Superman uses a piece of his spaceship to shave).
In an unlikely move, Warner Bros. studio also partnered with churches by arranging screenings for pastors, supplying churches with film clips and even drafting sermons linking the Superman myth to Jesus.
Star Trek Into Darkness – Engaging Trekkers through space and tech
Released: May 16
Worldwide opening: $165 million
Star Trek is all about exploring "the final frontier," so Paramount joined forces with NASA to promote the latest prequel. The film's cast and crew, along with astronauts aboard the International Space Station, hosted a Google+ Hangout to answer fans' questions submitted using the hashtag #askNASA.
Paramount also partnered with Acer, the electronics company, to create the "Explore Beyond Limits" campaign, which featured online videos, out-of-home advertising, and digital and print ads promoting both the Star Trek movie and select Acer products.
Monsters University – Expanding the story world
Released: June 21
Worldwide opening: $137 million
Record: Second-biggest opening for a Pixar film (behind Toy Story 3)
Pixar took a content marketing approach to get people interested in the world of Monsters University months before its release by launching a mock university website that looks just like a real one.
The site features a list of classes and faculties, a campus map, a university handbook, a shop that sells four-armed hoodies, an activity feed and more.
The "Dean's Message" video featured on the website was aired during the Rose Bowl, an American football game, to attract the attention of teens who loved the original Monsters, Inc., released in 2001.
Fast and Furious 6 – Targeting Spanish-speaking moms
Released: May 24
Worldwide opening: $317 million
Record: Earned $500 million internationally faster than any other Universal Studio's picture
For the sixth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise, Universal Studios decided to target an audience as diverse as the film's cast, particularly Spanish-speaking and female viewers.
Cast members made an appearance at the Billboard Latin Music Awards and the movie trailer was aired during Spanish-language soap operas in the United States.
The plan seems to have worked: Latinos made up 32 percent of the opening weekend's audience, which also saw an increase in female viewership from 44 percent (for the fifth film) to 49 percent.
Iron Man 3 – A Hollywood premiere in China
Released: May 3
Worldwide opening: $370 million
Record: Second-biggest debut ever (behind The Avengers)
China has the second-largest cinema market in the world, so it's no accident that Marvel Studios held the world premiere of Iron Man 3 in Beijing's Forbidden City. It was the first time a Hollywood movie had been launched in the Chinese capital.
Marvel even created a special Chinese version of the action film, featuring an extra scene and a new Asian character.
This might help explain why Iron Man 3 earned more on its opening weekend internationally than it did in the States.
The Great Gatsby – Showcasing style with OOH ads and luxury brands
Released: May 10
Worldwide opening: $94 million
To showcase The Great Gatsby's unique visuals, Warner Bros. put up dozens of billboards, bus shelters and bus sides in New York and Los Angeles featuring dazzling stills from the film.
The studio also partnered with luxury brands such as Tiffany & Co. and Brooks Brothers to create original Gatsby collections.
Thanks in part to the Gatsby tie-in, Tiffany & Co. earned higher than expected sales this year in its first quarter. Meanwhile, Gatsby was director Baz Luhrmann's first film to earn more than $100 million in the States.
In other words, it's clear that The Great Gatsby's partner brands helped sell the movie, while the movie helped sell its partner brands. How's that for a Hollywood ending?

PLACES At Dixon Place Mainstage - Submitted by Romy Nordlinger
January 31, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - February 26, 2019 @ 8:45 pm
Event Navigation
Following a sold out run at 59E59 and Edinburgh Fringe, Dixon Place presents Places, a multimedia solo show about one of Broadway's biggest stars, silent film legend and trailblazing lesbian iconoclast, Alla Nazimova, written and performed by Romy Nordlinger (Places, 59East59/Edinburgh Fringe). Cailín Heffernan directs. Fellow LPTW member Elizabeth Strauss Stage Manages. The performance will be part of Dixon Place's Mainstage Curated Series, 161A Chrystie Street in NYC on Tuesday, February 26, 2019 at 7:30pm.
Long before Madonna, the world was Gaga for Nazimova. Places, a critically acclaimed theatrical multimedia solo show, tells the story of Alla Nazimova, the forgotten lesbian trailblazer, iconoclast and perhaps the greatest star you've never heard of. Escaping anti-semitic Tsarist Russia, she became Broadway's biggest star with the Shubert's naming a theater after her. Nazimova also became Hollywood's highest paid silent screen icon and the film industry's first female director and producer. Defying the moral and artistic codes of her time, she was forced into obscurity. Returning from the grave, Nazimova raises her voice, reclaiming our collective history, lighting the way to diversity. "By opening our eyes to the past, we are better able to see our present."
Places was partially developed in productions of 'Stage Struck' helmed by Mari Lyn Henry and the Society For The Preservation Of Theatrical History committed to preserving the legacy of legendary actresses.
General admission tickets are $15 in advance, $18 at the door. Students, seniors, and idNYC tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door.

Jackie Christie's Daughter Says Her Mother Prefers Her Lighter Daughters
Jackie Christie's Estranged Daughter Says Her Mother Shunned Her Because She's Darker Skinned
Jackie Christie's Daughter Says Her Mother Prefers Her Lighter Daughters
Recall last month when Jackie Christie caught heat for refusing to pay for her estranged grandchild's medical expenses after he was tragically burned?
Well her daughter is now saying that Jackie has always treated her like an outcast…and it's all because of her skin-color.
Jackie's estranged daughter Ta'Kari confirmed the rumor that some fans heard during a previous season of Basketball Wives LA, where Jackie'e daughter Chantel outed her mother's wrongdoing during one of the seasons where they weren't exactly getting along.
When Ta'Kari opened her IG up to random questions, one reality show fan asked if the colorism rumors were true…
And Takari essentially confirmed that her mother had indeed teased and and riduculed her for being darker than the rest of the family.
SMH! Is skin color really part of the reason Jackie doesn't show much concern for her daughter and grandchild??

Whether you live on the Eastern Seaboard, the heart of Texas, or the Pacific Coast, there's a hot rod show coming to a city near you. Check out some of the top hot rod and custom car shows in the U.S. taking place in 2016 and beyond.
Internet in Cars: The Way of the Future or a Hacker's Dream?
The future of vehicles is the Internet, with cars offering connectivity that enhances the driving experience. What seems like a thing of the future is becoming commonplace today, with an increasing number of connected vehicles hitting the market each year. This year, approximately 10 percent of all cars are connected to the Internet. By 2020, it's expected that as many as 22 percent of all cars will be connected cars. This is a significant amount of vehicles, and a number that is expected to continue to rise well into the future.
If your vehicle isn't equipped with a backup camera, you can still benefit from this life-saving technology by installing your own. 300 people die every year in the United States due to backup collisions. At least 150 of these victims are children under the age of 5 who are too small to be visible from the drivers seat.
Backup Cameras are so effective at increasing visibility and preventing accidents, the federal government will start requiring them in all new vehicles in May 2018.

Attitude Dance Company's ninth annual spring show premieres tonight with a colorful and successful display that highlights both the diverse talent of the dancers and student-choreographers and advanced multimedia work.
The show features several different styles of dance including jazz, hip-hop, contemporary and performances with cultural influences. This variety comprises constantly shifting music, costumes and lighting, all of which help keep the audience engaged and entertained.
The dance company, founded in 2004, is one of the younger troupes on Brown's campus, but that has not stopped its members from trying new performance elements and pushing limits with challenging choreography.
In the show, the company innovates through collaborations, props and music, all of which add to the performance.
"We're doing a lot of collaborations this year," Attitude co-director Hyunwoo Choo '13 said. "This year is our second (collaboration) with imPulse Dance Company, there's going to be an orchestra and a vocalist, and we're using a lot more props."
The addition of imPulse dancers to one of the pieces enhances the number's storyline and helps transition to the second half of the show.
The live music adds another dimension to the pieces.
"I think people will be very surprised by the instruments right in front of them," said co-director Susan Trinh '13. "When we're creating the order of the show, we think about the audience and what they're feeling and want to provide them with an experience that they might not see every day."
Attitude also integrates a series of creative props into the show. A traditional Chinese cultural work choreographed by co-director Rosemary Le '13 incorporates sparkling fans, while a contemporary piece centers around a swath of gauze, which the dancers move in and out of. The props ensnare the audience's attention from the first beats of the pieces and provide a sense of continuity during the numbers.
Lady Gaga — whose "Americano" is featured in a work with vibrant flamenco skirts — is only one of the variety of artists featured in Attitude's show.
"Since we keep it open for our dancers to choose whatever they want to dance (to), the music ranges along with it," Trinh said. While the well-known tracks establish a tone from the beginning of the piece, lesser-known tracks add elements of surprise to the dances.
The 22-person dance company stuck to the theme of innovation this year by admitting its first two male dancers in recent years. Despite the founder of Attitude being male, the group has remained all female for the last several years.
"We have never been intentionally exclusively female. This is the first year that it happened that boys joined the group," Choo said.
"When we were first talking about letting (male dancers) in, there was a lot of discussion about how that would change the dynamic of the group," Trinh added. "But they fit right in."
The two male dancers add another layer of depth to many of the pieces by bringing variation and a certain strength. Along with the male element, creative lighting and captivating choreography make the full company pieces — in which all of the company members are on stage — some of the most entertaining in the show.
The lengths of performances vary, which means the audience must watch carefully to catch the intricate details in the shorter pieces. But the variation in length keeps the two-hour show from seeming overly long.
The shows will take place tonight and tomorrow at 7 p.m. in Alumnae Hall. Tickets are on sale for $5 in J. Walter Wilson until 2 p.m. today and will be available at the door for $7.

Subject to interpretation
Part one
It seems that we were a bit too prescient when we subtitled a section of last week's Economic Insights "Do You Hear What I Hear?" Commentators have broadly interpreted Chairman Jerome Powell's speech to the Economic Club of New York as a dovish signal, particularly his suggestion that rates sit "just below" neutral. This comment appeared to mark a shift from the Chairman's recent statements in October, when he stated that "we're a long way from neutral." But not everyone took his comments so dovishly, including us. The key lies in the specific wording because the chairman's statements do not directly contradict each other. In October he was speaking about the Fed's specific point estimate while last week he was talking about a broad range of estimates. Estimates for the nominal neutral rate generally fall across a range of roughly 2.5 percent up to around 4 percent; the current effective Fed Funds rate sits near 2.2 percent. Viewed from that perspective, depending upon one's estimation of the neutral rate, we could simultaneously be both a long way from neutral and just below neutral. Our proprietary model estimates that the nominal neutral range currently falls in the 2.75 percent to 3.0 percent range.
Markets, however, took an unambiguously positive view of his comments last week, causing the stock market to surge and reducing expectations for future rate hikes after this month. We see this as an overreaction but concede that markets also likely overacted negatively to his statement in October.
Lost in the euphoria lies an unspoken, but important fact. If we really are nearing the neutral rate then underlying potential economic growth remains low, which agrees with our view that economic growth is slowing toward potential growth as fiscal stimulus fades.
We continue to foresee a rate hike of 25 basis points this month and then 2 or 3 more next year. But we will need to see how the data unfolds over the next quarter -- particularly the forecast and statement from the Fed's next meeting in two weeks --to refine our view. The Fed itself continues to move toward data dependence and away from forward guidance.
Part two
Last week the G20 meeting was held in Argentina. More than the meeting itself, attention focused on the side meeting and dinner between the U.S. and China because of the ongoing escalation in trade tensions during 2018. The event unfolded in line with our expectations, as the two sides did not reach a grand détente. Instead, the U.S. and China agreed to temporarily halt further escalations for 90 days. This included delaying the impending increase of tariffs on Chinese imports worth roughly $200 billion from 10 percent to 25 percent on January 1.
Similar to Chairman Powell's statement, markets largely cheered this outcome, but we take a more cautious stance. This agreement merely pressed pause on further escalation. Trade agreements are notoriously difficult to hash out, especially during a brief period such as 90 days.
For now, we continue to see the existing trade restrictions having a mildly negative impact on the economy and commercial real estate (CRE) market (notably industrial) with risk remaining to the downside.
Inflection point?
Anyone looking for leading signs of a slowdown and insights into what the Fed might do over the next year should pay attention to initial unemployment claims. Any sign of slowing in the labor market, which would likely cause the Fed to ease up on the pace of rate hikes, would likely show up first in the claims data before reaching the employment figures. Over the last few weeks, initial claims have crept up from the recent half-century lows. Though the claims data often proves volatile, if unemployment claims data leads slowing employment gains, that would provide us with a meaningful sign of slowing in the economy.
What we are watching this week
Speaking of employment, the monthly employment release this week should show job gains of roughly 200,000 for November.
We expect little change in the unemployment rate while hourly earnings growth should hold above 3 percent for the second consecutive month.
We foresee a slight rebound in the ISM Manufacturing index for November while the ISM Non-manufacturing index should decline slightly. We expect the international trade balance for October to worsen for the fifth consecutive month, fueled by trade restrictions. Finally, we expect preliminary consumer sentiment for December to rise versus November's reading, spurred by a tightening labor market and declining oil prices.
What it means for CRE
For now, with trade policy and monetary policy in a bit of a holding pattern, we are not altering our view on CRE. The outlook remains relatively healthy, but risk remains to the downside. Trade policy could become more restrictive which would slow asking rent growth and net absorption relative to our current outlook (which already includes some negative impact due to current trade policies). And while the market cheered a perceived slowdown in tightening by the Fed, recall that a slowdown in the pace of rate hikes likely means a slowdown in the underlying economy, a negative for CRE.
Thought of the week
The U.S. economy represents roughly one-quarter of the global economy, but U.S. equity market capitalization represents more than half of the global equity market capitalization.

Last Friday, I'lam carried out a training workshop in the field of public speaking for the participants of the Young Leadership Project in the city of Nazareth. The first session of the workshop was led by Ashraf Kortam and focused on the basics of body language, stage fright and delivering the speech. Moreover, during the session several other topics such as the mechanisms and techniques of persuasion, as well as rhetorical strategies and social skills, were addressed.
The second session of the training was directed by Dr. Saleh Abboud, who focused on the use of language in discourse, the articulation of a discourse and its content. More concretely, this part of the workshop dealt with the linguistic structure of speech, the cultural and historical traits of rhetoric in Arab countries, the structure and elements of speech and discursive strategies.
The Young Leadership Program aims towards the building of four essential skills, namely leadership, rhetoric, debate and simulation. The project seeks to contribute to the development and improvement of a generation of leaders, who possess sufficient qualifications and show proficiency in the arts of rhetoric, debate and simulation. It fosters and collective thinking, social responsibility and the development of messages and ideas that promote social progress.
During the course of the project, the Young Leadership Program participants will receive further training in leadership and rhetoric, and will later compete among themselves so as to put into practice the acquired knowledge. The competition among participants will conclude with a prize-giving to the three best competitors.
I'lam media center recently concluded a special six-month vocational course for young journalists, focusing on young people who want to be involved, knowing that they are learning the subject of media in a number of educational institutions, whether locally or in the West Bank

text: A flu outbreak killing 70 million people worldwide may cause global economic losses of as much as $2 trillion, a World Bank official said. A slump in tourism, transportation and retail sales, as well as workplace absenteeism and lower productivity, may cause the world economy to shrink by 3.1 percent, said Milan Brahmbhatt, a lead adviser in the East Asia region, citing a study by the Washington-based World Bank. The study predicted a surge in corporate bankruptcies in companies with a high level of debt to equity, such as airlines. "It goes almost without saying that these broad scenarios are not meant to be forecasts,'' Brahmbhatt said in a speech prepared for the First International Conference on Avian Influenza in Humans, which starts today in Paris. "They are only exercises to help think through the various channels of impact and possible orders of magnitude.'' The Bank, which funds projects to alleviate poverty, is working with developing countries to improve hospitals and laboratories to bolster disease surveillance and management of bird flu. Human fatalities from the H5N1 avian influenza strain have almost tripled this year, providing more chances for the virus to mutate into a lethal pandemic form. Since January at least 54 people have died from H5N1 as the virus spread in wild birds and domestic poultry across Asia, Europe and Africa. That compares with 19 fatalities in the first six months of 2005. In the past three years, at least 130 of the 228 people known to have been infected with H5N1 have died, according to the World Health Organization. "As these outbreaks continue and spread to new regions, they also increase the probability of a second stage, with human-to-human transmission and a global influenza pandemic, with enormously greater costs on a world scale,'' Brahmbhatt said. A pandemic can start when a novel influenza A-type virus, to which almost no one has natural immunity, emerges and begins spreading. Experts believe that a pandemic in 1918, which may have killed as many as 50 million people, began when an avian flu virus jumped to people from birds. The most immediate and largest economic impact of a pandemic might arise from the uncoordinated efforts of people to avoid becoming infected, not from actual death or sickness, according to Brahmbhatt.

OK. All pretense is gone – this cake isn't even masquerading as healthy by having fruit in it – instead it is a biscuit flavoured cake. Obvs I wasn't going to lose weight with apple cake anyway, and the reason I made this one this week is that Oreo cake is one of my teenage daughters favourites, and she is home from uni for a few days and nothing says welcome home quite as well as cake.
- 225g butter
- 225g caster sugar
- 225 self raising flour
- 3 medium eggs
- ⅔rds packet of Oreos, bashed into bits. (bits, not crumbs!)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Something- I used essence
- ½ tsp of baking powder
- For the buttercream-
- 250g unsalted butter
- 500g icing sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla essence
- Rest of Oreos - bashed into bits.
- ⅓rd packet of oreos
- To make the cake, start by creaming the butter and sugar.
- Add eggs, flour, baking powder, and vanilla essence and mix well.
- Stir through the oreo bits.
- Divide between 2 8" sandwich tins
- Bake at 180 degrees for 25-35 minutes - as always, my top tip is cover with foil if top is over-browning while inside still cooking.
- Remove and allow to cool before icing.
- To make the icing, beat together the icing sugar, vanilla essence and butter.
- Divide the buttercream between 2 bowls and stir ⅔rds of your remaining Oreo pieces into one half.
- Sandwich the cakes together using the Oreo buttercream.
- Ice the top with the plain vanilla buttercream and decorate with the last of your Oreo pieces.
Utterly delicious and utterly fattening. Oh well – there is always February for dieting right!! My next mission is a Lemon Drizzle Cake – yes, more cake with fruit – because it is my lovely man's 50th birthday on Sunday and that is his favourite cake. Hard to make a lemon drizzle look birthday-ish, as you can't do fancy icing, but better that he has cake he likes than cake that looks posh I say.

Outside of Pride parades and festivals, one could argue that no other LGBTQ event in the world is as recognizable as the one that occurs on the first Saturday in June every year at the happiest place on Earth.
Gay Day at Disney's Magic Kingdom has gone through many changes and obstacles in its 28-year history. What began as one day at the park ballooned into multiple days of events from many groups who bring circuit parties, concerts, expos and pool parties every year that encircle the original event and carry the same message of visibility that Gay Day at Magic Kingdom was founded on.
In April, Chris Alexander-Manley, co-owner of GayDayS, Inc., announced that starting in 2019 the company GayDayS, Inc.—which is not affiliated with Gay Day at Disney's Magic Kingdom—would be moving its events to a set of dates in August.
"GayDayS is a vacation event. I think a majority of those attending nowadays follow our lead of what dates we put out there," Alexander-Manley said. "A majority of people are not coming in for that Saturday at the Magic Kingdom. There are some that do come every year for that, which is great, but Magic Kingdom will be open for the Saturday of our event. I always say it's not a national holiday like Christmas or New Year's Day that fall on the same day every year."
But according to many in the community that is exactly what it is, including many of the individuals who were there on the very first Gay Day at Disney's Magic Kingdom in 1991. For many, Gay Day is a sacred holiday required to be celebrated on its traditional day of the first Saturday in June.
Gay Day at Disney's Magic Kingdom was the original idea of one man, Doug Swallow.
"Doug Swallow was just a lovable computer geek guy," says Michael Wanzie, a Central Florida entertainer who was at the very first Gay Day. "I don't think we had email back then, but Compu-Who had just become popular, and Doug was a regular on Compu-Who."
Compu-Who was Orlando's gay computer Bulletin Board System (BBS) in the early 1990s. Users, or "Whosers" as Compu-Who users were called, would log on, enter one of the "chat lines" and trade messages with each other.
Swallow used this early messaging system to suggest every "out" gay person should meet up at the Magic Kingdom to be visible and be seen, something that was dangerous for many to do in those days.
"If you were out as a gay person, you were putting your neck out there. You were putting yourself at risk," says Joel Strack, an openly gay Central Floridian who worked at Disney for more than 30 years. "Not necessarily at physical risk when you were at Magic Kingdom, but political and social animosity would be thrown at you just for being gay, if you identified publicly as a gay person."
Wanzie says that Swallow's suggestion for the community to do something to be visible wasn't meant as a form of protest.
"He was just let's go be somewhere where we can be ourselves and let people see that we're normal people, but let them know that we are gay and we'll do something like wear a red shirt so we can know who each other are. That was totally Doug's idea, to make that day what it is," Wanzie says.
At the time Swallow was on the board of directors for The Center Orlando, and Wanzie was The Center Orlando's executive director.
"He was just one guy. He wasn't representing a cause or a company," Wanzie says about Swallow. "He started promoting it on Compu-Who, and the majority of people who came I think came because they were on Compu-Who and that's how they saw it."
While Swallow took to Compu-Who to promote the event, others in the community assisted him the old fashion way.
"Gary Allen, who was a bartender at the time at Southern Nights I think, got all excited about it," Wanzie says. "So he and Doug printed up flyers to pass out and Gary went to different places and got bartenders to start talking it up and whatnot."
The first Gay Day at Disney's Magic Kingdom was set for June 1, 1991, with a designated meet-up time that afternoon in front of Cinderella's Castle just before the 3:00 parade.
As the day arrived Wanzie remembers asking Swallow how many people he thought would attend. "I'd be thrilled if 300 people showed up," Wanzie recalls Swallow saying.
"I remember I went to breakfast that morning at the Grand Floridian and the whole restaurant was filled with red-shirted people eating breakfast," Wanzie says. "We thought 'OK so there's at least 75 of us here.' We went to get on the monorail and realized the entire monorail was filled with red shirts."
When the time arrived 1,500 people in red shirts had gathered in front of Cinderella's Castle.
"We were all just standing there crying as we watched a sea of red shirts build in front of the castle," Wanzie says. "There was no money behind it, there was no political agenda behind it. It was just let's go out and have a good time and be seen and just finally claim the day to say 'We have the right to be open and who we are and be in a public place.' And that's really all it started out to be, a grassroots thing started by this one guy, Doug Swallow."
Gay Day at Disney's Magic Kingdom was a success, and it became an instant news story. The second year attendance doubled with 3,000 LGBTQ people in red shirts filling the Magic Kingdom.
"After the first year, it became newsworthy immediately because of the public relations nightmare it created for Disney," Wanzie says. "Believe me, they were not thrilled when they realized this was going to be a thing every year. They love it now, because they know how much money it makes for them, but back then, not so much. They were handing out refunds like candy to anyone who was upset by the presence of people like us."
Strack put a group of about eight men together, all of whom worked at Disney and had volunteered on their day off to come in and let people coming for Gay Day know where to go and at what time.
"There were buses coming up from Miami full of people for Gay Day," Strack says. "As they got off the bus we would explain to them that at 3:00 we would all gather in front of the castle for the parade."
Signs and sandwich boards were placed at the entrance of the Magic Kingdom that read, "WARNING: A gay and lesbian event is taking place today at the Magic Kingdom. This event is not sponsored by Walt Disney World."
Disney would also give free Mickey Mouse shirts to anyone who came to the Magic Kingdom on Gay Day in a red shirt who was not gay and was upset about the event.
"By the third year I was moved into management and was the go-between guy with Magic Kingdom and the Gay Day people," Strack says. "Disney execs were convinced everyone in red shirts was going to start a protest or some disturbance at 3:00. There was a lot of paranoia on the side of Disney's executive committee because they didn't know how to deal with gay people. They had lots of gay people working for them but all of them behaved, so to speak, and stay closeted."
Disney ended up adding more street entertainment to keep the crowds calm and occupied.
"They added all these small musical groups and jugglers so that it wasn't so obvious that there was a group of gay people in red shirts hanging around," Strack says.
Eventually, after a few years of Gay Day, Disney stopped putting out the warning signs and eventually even stopped giving refunds and free t-shirts to visitors angry about the event.
While warnings from Disney went away, a Gay Day tradition was started early on by a conservative group that would rent a small plane to fly over Orlando with a banner warning tourists that gays were at Disney.
The first party tied to Gay Day was Thursday night at Mannequins, a nightclub at Disney's Pleasure Island. Thursday night at Mannequins was cast member night and since many Disney cast members were LGBTQ it became an unofficial gay night.
Within a few years out-of-town producers started creating circuit parties around the Gay Day event.
"It later became known as 'A Day of Magic, a Night of Pleasure,'" Wanzie recalls. "Jeffrey Sanker was a great big name in the circuit party business worldwide. He heard about Gay Day and how it was building here. I think he might have been the first person to bring an actual circuit party to that week. He's a big name in the circuit party community, and so once he put his roots down and said he was doing a party, then all the other circuit party producers followed suit."By the mid-to late-'90s the week surrounding Gay Day became a huge event bringing upwards of 90,000 people to Central Florida. During this time Watermark started the water park event Beach Ball, which would undergo several name changes throughout the years finally becoming Riptide. Along with all these parties, a group simply called "Friends" out of Tampa decided to book a block of rooms at a hotel and called it "Friends Hotel."
"They would get a block of rooms in a hotel on U.S. 192 or somewhere, and they I think were the first to do that, to get rooms dedicated to this event," Wanzie says. "Then the circuit boys started getting blocks of rooms in hotels, so they were doing that too."
It was 1998 and with all of these events building up there was no central location where someone could go to find out what was happening and more importantly where you could get tickets for everything. Enter Tommy Manley (Alexander-Manley's husband). Manley owned a website design firm in Orlando during the '90s called Active Mind.
"Tommy thought, it's crazy that this is happening and there's no centrality to it at all," Wanzie says. "There's no keeper of the calendar. If you were from out of town and you decided you wanted to come to this thing you'd heard about that's happening in Florida that's now still called Gay Day in the Magic Kingdom but seems to be multiple days with multiple parties all over the town, there's no place to go really as a resource to buy all your tickets in one place. It didn't exist."
Swallow maintained his website, GayDay.com, and advertised everything he knew of that was happening in conjunction with the event, but he didn't offer tickets on the site and never tried to make any money off of it.
"Tommy very wisely said 'Hey, there's something to be made out of this. What if we could become like the central ticketing agent for it.' So he got it in his mind that he was going to start a website and capitalize on this for profit, nothing wrong with that," Wanzie says.
Manley purchased the domain GayDayS.com which was originally owned by The Center, according to Alexander-Manley.
"The domain GayDayS.com was bought by The Center and they didn't do much with it so Tommy approached The Center and bought it from them," he says.
Manley asked Wanzie to come on board and help him get GayDayS.com started. Wanzie had worked for British tour operators and had lots of ins with hotels and attractions. Only one problem: Wanzie didn't know how to work a website.
"I had never touched a website, didn't know how to use it at first. I had to learn everything from scratch," he says. "Tommy just said, 'This is my vision, do you think you can help me?' and I said 'Yes' and within a few months I had become the vice president in charge of partnership developments and I just got in there and I lived, ate and breathed GayDayS.com 24 hours a day."
GayDayS.com was now a thing and Wanzie got it going with a very well known Orlando institution.
"I remember after Don [Granatstein] and Susan [Unger] bought the Parliament House I sold them our first high-level sponsorship for $30,000," Wanzie says. "While [Tommy] was earning the money to keep his business going designing websites, I was doing all the stuff to start the new business GayDayS.com, which they trademarked. Unfortunately, I—when I was there—had trademarked it, I filed the paperwork for the company and trademarked the name GayDayS.com. I hate to mention that now because I think people may come and kill me, but at the time I thought it was for good reason."
Wanzie thought it would be a good idea, instead of renting out blocks of rooms at a hotel like the party promoters had been doing, to find a "host hotel" and do a 100 percent buyout.
"I was told at every turn that it's not done, the industry doesn't do it, not even with the biggest conventions. Nobody gives up 100 percent of their room inventory to one group. It's too risky," Wanzie says. "I got it in my head that that had to be something we could overcome. We had to be able to get our own hotel. The problem was that at the time, Tommy didn't have the type of credit to be able to get a contract for that kind of money, but the British tour companies already have these contracts with hotels where they own a block … they got the credit with the hotel … so I went back to one of the British tour companies that I worked for and said 'Hey, do you want to partner on this? I need a hotel.'"
Wanzie, with the packing of a British tour company, went to the Royal Plaza (now called the B Resort) and negotiated the first ever 100 percent buyout of a hotel's room inventory in Central Florida. The first year of having a host hotel, GayDayS.com sold out the entire hotel of more than 300 rooms. Within two years they were able to book the hotel without the backing of Wanzie's British tour company friends.
The first few years of the GayDayS.com's host hotel didn't have organized paid pool parties like they do today.
"There was a DJ and beach balls and flotations and what not," Wanzie says. "It was just an amenity. But we did a Gay Days Expo, which I organized and it just took off. I positioned the company as the keeper of the calendar and the mission statement was that this would be a one-stop resource for Gay Days. After that first year people started to see us as not only keepers of the calendar but wrongly saw us as producers of the overall Gay Days event."
Wanzie left GayDayS.com after three years and Alexander-Manley came on board in 2002. According to Wanzie, Alexander-Manley didn't understand why GayDayS.com would list events for groups who were not buying advertising from them.
"After I left, they still hired me intermittently as a consultant and hired me to still come back after I didn't work there. I came back the next year to manage the expo for them," Wanzie says."Chris [Alexander-Manley] came in and decided that they were in this to profit and were going to run it like anybody else runs a company. They weren't going to mention any event that wasn't their event."
Alexander-Manley says that other group's event were, and still are, able to be mentioned on GayDayS.com, but they do require the organization to have some type of relationship with GayDayS, Inc.
"If they want to piggyback onto the website that we put together every year they need to be involved with us either as a sponsor or vendor or advertiser, something like that," he says.
Throughout the first decade of the 2000s, with GayDayS.com now only promoting its host hotel and events, most of which focused on the circuit boys, other groups started organizing events focused on other members of the LGBTQ community.
Parliament House was already starting to bring in entertainment to coincide with the weekend.
In 2001, Allison Burgos started Girls in Wonderland, a series of events designed for lesbians and bisexual women.
"That first year we had 800 women show up," says Burgos. "After three years in, the women were asking for their own space and their own hotel. We created a relationship with the Marriott Courtyard at the Marriott Village, soon after that first year we sold out that hotel and then started overflowing into the other two properties, and eventually had to move because the pool party was just too big. We were turning people away from being able to enter the pool parties on Saturday, so we moved again to the Sheraton Lake Buena Vista."
The following year Orlando Black Pride was started by a club promoter named Trish and her business partner which was not tied into any Gay Day events and catered to the African-American LGBTQ population.
Trish, who asked that her last name not be used in the story, says that she started Orlando Black Pride because African-American LGBTQ people didn't see themselves in the people attending the other events and that attempts to join in with GayDayS.com events went ignored.
"When the seat at the table is not offered, does it mean that you must go hungry? You create your own table, make your own event," Trish says. "The other groups were like 'yeah you can come over and give us your money but we aren't going to do anything for you or help you along with your events. It was a struggle for the first few years trying to get venues and hotels because we weren't only gay but we were black. In the beginning we had a lot of doors slammed in our face."
In 2006, Danny Gallegos and his partner started Tidal Wave which caters to the bear community.
"We always took pride in stating the fact that whether you were big or small, smooth or hairy, it was your weekend too," Gallegos says. "If they wanted to wear a speedo and if they were big guys, then nobody should say anything derogatory. If girls wanted to come, then no problem. We always said that no matter what anyone was welcome. And I think that's why it's lasted so long."
In 2009, Tom Christ and Billy Looper started One Magical Weekend. That first year, under the name Let's Go Play, they only produced Riptide at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon. Within the next few years they added on more events including large-scale events at Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios and House of Blues. One Magical Weekend also launched a host hotel at the B Resort complete with pool parties, an LGBTQ expo and after parties.
After GayDayS, Inc. announced it would be moving the dates of its events in 2019 social media began to explode.
In a statement, One Magical Weekend said they—along with Girls in Wonderland, Tidal Wave, Orlando Black Pride and Parliament House—were committed to keeping their events on the first weekend of June.
"What started as a small but powerful idea grew into a huge, annual LGBT+ event that received worldwide attention from the press and protesters alike," Christ says. "It is easy to become complacent, but this event, started by a group of friends, is a milestone in our community for celebrating Pride and Equality everywhere, even the Magic Kingdom. Identified by visitors and protestors alike as 'a place for families,' they forgot that we come from and are families as well. The Red Shirt showed the world that we belong as well. We need the next generation to celebrate the accomplishments of those who led the way."
Alexander-Manley says he thinks it's great the other groups are staying on the first weekend in June as that will give locals and tourists three great LGBTQ events throughout the year.
"There will be something the first weekend in June, then something in August and then something in October with Come Out With Pride," he says. "I think it's a benefit for local because they will have more events to go to, and definitely better for the Central Florida economy because that will be three big events that will bring in a lot of money."
While none of the organizations have announced any of the events for 2019, One Magical Weekend has called for the community to rename the weekend that centers around Gay Day at Disney's Magic Kingdom since GayDayS, Inc. is moving, something Wanzie does not agree with.
"I think fucking GayDayS.com should rename their company," Wanzie says. "If you're not going to have anything to do with the event, because they're simply not. They're simply going to be this party producer that is unrelated to this historically rooted event."
Alexander-Manley says he respects Wanzie's opinion and he has the right to make suggestions but that Gay Days is now more than the event at Disney, it is now a citywide event.
"Our company is Gay Days, Inc. and our website is GayDayS.com," Alexander-Manley says. "And I know that a lot of locals probably do have an issue with that, but history changes."

Genesis – In the Beginning
By Carri Pratt
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
Genesis 1:1
Is the Bible true? How can one be certain that there is one God and that He is the creator of all things? How do we know there is only one way to God? What about the Creation view vs. Evolution and the Big Bang theory? What is sin and where did it come from? Does sin affect me? Was there really a great flood? Who was Abraham?
Titus2Women.org invites you to read through the pages of Genesis with us this year. Every Monday we will post a reading challenge for the week. This will usually be one chapter of Genesis to read and then the following week we will extract the message for modern day Christians.
This week's reading challenge: Genesis 1:1-31
