As much fun as he has touring with 3OH!3 and being a member of that act's live band, and as fond as he is of playing in Young Coyotes with Zach Tipton, American Tomahawk is Adam Halferty's baby, the place where he's able to express himself the most freely as an artist.
After spending the bulk of his time on the road with 3OH!3, Halferty is ready to unveil American Tomahawk's debut, Contradictions Generalities Future Criminals, which he recorded in an old church in the foothills of Colorado Springs this past February and co-produced with the help of his pal and former Young Coyotes co-hort, Matt Wilcox (current ringleader of Night Beds), who contributed guitar and keys to the platter.
Contradictions, in which Halferty sings and plays everything else, is slated for release on Friday, September 3, at the Meadowlark, in a show with the Weather Maps (Jimmy Stofer's new outfit) and Centennial (the new band featuring the Meese brothers), and features songs that Halferty wrote last summer while he was on the road with 3OH!3 during the Warped Tour.
"I was trying to deal with the culture shock and depression that comes from being away from your friends," Halferty explains, "and being around so many different people every day."

Right now, the live version of the band -- whose name was conceived through a dream Halferty had about discussing archaic war tools with a friend -- is made up of Halfterty and some of those friends, Mark Hawkins and Alan Andrews of the Photo Atlas, Brandon Anamire from the Chain Gang of 1974, as well as Isom Innis and Jay J Mattot.
If you're attracted to the breezy, sun-kissed melodies and harmonies of Young Coyotes -- and really, why wouldn't you be; Tipton crafts some of the most memorable melodies in the business -- you're going to absolutely fall in with love American Tomahawk. Besides sharing Halferty, the two acts reside in neighboring subdivisions.
Although the entire album is splendid, there are two tracks on Contradictions in particular that blow up our skirt every time we hear them. The first one is "1993," with its lofty chorus and dark, slightly unsettling lyrics about bedwetting and unspeakable things involving sisters, and "Number One," whose soaring melody is bolstered perfectly by a cherubic underlying harmony. American Tomahawk's greatest strength at this point is the thing that propelled Halferty's other band forward, and that's making instantly hummable music that's sprawling and yet deceptively sparse all at once.

#CouncilSpotlight – Peter Coffman
Wed, Apr 11, 2018
Jennifer Clark
Peter Coffman: Documenting the Stories Places Tell
The Ottawa Arts Council supports artists and arts organizations through leadership, guidance and the provision of opportunities to advance our local creative potential.
Our series #CouncilSpotlight presents stories and experiences of Arts Council members and art award recipients.
Peter Coffman received the Project X Photography Award in 2017.
Where are you from? Are you from the Ottawa area?
I'm from Toronto originally, although I've also lived in Québec's Eastern Townships, Kingston, Halifax and France. I arrived in Ottawa in the summer of 2010, and am here to stay.
How did you get involved in the Ottawa arts community?
I moved to Ottawa to take up a job in Carleton's School for Studies in Art and Culture, so right from the start I had colleagues who were art historians, curators, musicians and so on. I became more closely connected to the Ottawa photographic community when my friend Jake Morrison ran a series of informal talks in which photographers discussed their work.
How would you describe your artistic practice/discipline?
I am a photographer of places. By that I mean I love places – their beauty, their meanings, their auras, the stories they tell – and I try to capture these qualities in photographs. It took me a long time to realize it, but the thread that runs through all of my professional work is the love of place and the desire to evoke it.
What impact has your involvement with the arts/the Ottawa arts community had on your life?
Working in a vacuum is very demoralizing; it's really important to have a community of people who get excited about the same kinds of things. And they don't have to work in the same medium. I have been as inspired and uplifted by musicians and writers as I have by fellow photographers.
Is there a specific moment/situation in your art career that you remember fondly?
I can't really single out one moment. Whatever I'm working on next is always the most exciting thing.
Do you have any advice for artists in the Ottawa community or artists in general?
I wouldn't presume to offer advice; everyone's path is different and that's how it should be. All I can say is that what works for me is to keep it personal. My projects grow from deep personal journeys; I try to capture and communicate those journeys, and hope that doing so enables others to come with me.
What are you currently working on?
Many things – probably too many! I am still finishing my project Gloss, which won the Project X Award. I published a book last fall called Camino, which is a photographic and written evocation of my experience along the ancient pilgrimage road to Santiago de Compostela. I will be showing some of the prints from that collection this summer at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton, so I'm busy putting that show together. I'm also working with another photographer (Diane Laundy, who is also my wife) and the poet Lorna Crozier on a book of images and poems that will be launched in the fall of 2019. So, I have lots on the go.
What was it like to receive an award from the Ottawa Arts Council? How did it impact your career?
It was wonderful! It's very gratifying to get the recognition, of course, but the instant credibility the award bestows on the project is also really helpful. « Ottawa Arts Council Award Winner » is a great calling card!

Can we talk? I know we can: it's why I haven't shuttered this whole place down, even though it has been awfully ghost town-ish lately. As usual, the less I am saying here, the more cluttered up my thinking becomes, the harder it gets to say anything at all, the more thoughts bounce around in my brain, and the vicious cycle continues. There's a lot I'm not saying to anybody - not even to myself - lately, and that's got to stop. So I'm going to plug back in here, see if sweeping some of this stuff out into the open doesn't help me free up some space in my skull for quiet and peacefulness. It's a hope, anyways.
First off, how was everybody's Easter? Ours was good; no high drama or hysterics, just two kids with too much sugar and seven adults with not nearly enough - By the time all the grown-ups were looking to nap, the kids were plowing through their Easter baskets out of sheer boredom, and when we finally corralled enough people into playing a game, it was a sloppy, silly mess. It's a good thing Catchphrase doesn't require a lot of firing brain cells or strict compliance.
Speaking of compliance: I have to get a handle on my low-carb diet, which, since September, has taken a real beating. All the weight I lost last summer has meandered back on, which I'm not as happy about as I was about it meandering off. But more importantly, my liver and diabetes numbers are in trouble again and need refixing. Self-care, NTE: you need to practice it. So, I'm off for breakfast (which I find hard to do low-carb, since I don't eat eggs), and I'll be back before you know it.
Ok; good start. Random & short, just like always :) Talk to you soon!

So sorry I haven't been around much - just drowning in too much stuff to keep up on and blogs (even my own) are getting less attention than they deserve. or should I can the blog thing for a while? I know something has to go, but I don't want to give anything up!
Anyway, nice to see you here and I think you have the right idea - it really does help to have some place to "talk" and process all the stuff we are dealing with.
Glad you had a nice Easter!

The manufacture of glass containers is an important part of the global economy, so how might Coca Cola sold in plastic pods and other environmental footprint-reducing initiatives affect the glass bottling industry?
Credit: Aaron Paxson on Flickr (Creative Commons License).
Whether it's classic, diet, or caffeine-free, one thing's for certain: Coca-Cola is getting the quintessential 21st century makeover.
Coca-Cola Co.—the world's largest and perhaps best-known beverage brand (No. 3 and the only non-tech company on Forbes' list of World's Most Valuable Brands for 2013)—recently signed a $1.25-billion, 10-year deal with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc., which produces Keurig's single-serve coffeemakers and a host of the system's K-Cups. As a result, Coca-Cola will exclusively partner with the coffee company in selling its iconic fizzy drinks (and its other cold flat beverages) in plastic pods for Green Mountain's still-in-development KeurigCold system.
The move signals not only a strategy shift for Coke, but possible shifts for the beverage and glass bottling industries as well.
Though Coca-Cola Co. lays claim to the world's largest beverage distribution system (1.8 billion servings a day in more than 200 countries through more than 250 bottling partners), soda sales have slumped in recent years, in large part to growing concerns with sugary soft drinks and their artificially sweetened counterparts. And despite the company's vision to double revenues by 2020 (PDF), in February Coca-Cola posted a 1-percent sales volume decline in the US and slower growth in emerging markets overseas. Green Mountain, on the other hand, posted a 12-percent increase.
"Our 2020 Vision calls for decisive and timely action to continuously improve and evolve our global system to best serve our customers and consumers around the world," Coca-Cola chairman and CEO Muhtar Kent says in a press release. "This agreement demonstrates our creative approach to partnerships and ability to identify and stay at the forefront of consumer trends driving the industry."
One of those trends is the continued search for environmentally friendly bottling options for beverages that once were exclusively packaged in glass, plastic, and aluminum.
According to the company's 2012-2013 GRI report (PDF), only 12 percent of the Coke packaged globally was in glass (10 percent refillable glass, 2 percent "one-way" glass). More than half—55 percent—was sold in polyethylene terephthalate plastic, which is "lighter in weight, shatter-resistant, resealable, and easily recyclable." The "ultra-glass Contour Bottle" introduced in 2000 was designed for "improved impact resistance, reduced weight, and cost"—and to be 40 percent stronger and 20 percent lighter—and saved close to 52,000 tons of glass in 2006. Coca-Cola's new PlantBottle, made of up to 30 percent renewable plant-based material, seeks to make its packaging even more sustainable.
Plastics and other biodegradable packaging might generate headlines, but glass still remains an important economic driver both in the US and overseas. According to the Glass Packaging Institute, glass container companies are part of a $5.5-billion industry that employs 18,000 skilled workers in 49 plants throughout 22 states. The European Union is the world's largest glass producer, says the European Container Glass Federation, manufacturing more than 20 million tons of it each year.
In addition to the size and impact of the industry, health concerns also seem to favor packaging soda—and many other edibles—in glass instead of plastic. Concerns about the chemicals in plastic, particularly the much-publicized bisphenol A (BPA), leaching out of the container and into the consumable have prompted many consumers to favor more inert packaging, like glass.
Coke and its bottling partners recognize glass's continued relevance across the globe—and they haven't yet given up efforts to lightweight the iconic contoured bottle, thereby reducing its environmental impact.
Just after the Green Mountain announcement, Ardagh UK revealed that its own lightweighting project had resulted in the manufacture of a 330 mL Coca-Cola bottle below the 200 g level for the first time. According to an Ardagh release, the company's 190 g version "has been able to retain all the bottle's trademark dimensions, and maintain quality and strength while improving environmental performance."
"Our task is keep the brand shape, whilst determining the stress points and the optimum weight of a glass bottle," Ardagh Design Manager for Glass Europe Carsten Berkau says in the release. "State of the art technology ensures that when we are challenged, we can respond with even greater precision."
The manufacturer is also working with Coca-Cola on other sustainability projects aimed at reducing energy and CO2 emissions.
Whether "K-Coke" becomes a household staple or heads the direction of New Coke, or whether anyone ever achieves a less-than-190 g bottle, we're certain that industry will respond with a clear-cut plan to maintain glass's place in the global economy.

Sunday afternoon visitors
Yesterday my friend Steph, her soon to be hubby Joey and their daughter Cheyenne came to see me! So did my friend Saad who still lives here, but is just really busy like everyone else I know.
Steph & Joey's familly live in Mobile, so they were down from North Carolina visiting. It was Chey's 2nd birthday on the 24th, so we went to a restaurant and got her a free birthday cake (again) even though it was a few days later. Steph said that everytime someone says "birthday" she says "Cake!" :) VERY cute.
It was sooo much fun to see my dear friends again and so wierd how everyone is the same, but so different at the same time. I miss hanging out with people I like. All day long, I am forced to be around a particular group of people--some who I like, some who I don't like--and when you get to be around a whole group of people who you like, have fun memories with, and know who you very well, it's so great! Sometimes I forget what that is like. After college everyone moved and went different places. The only ones I kept up with are really the only ones WORTH keeping up with. Sometimes you realize that it wasn't all those people that were so great, it was the few good ones that made all those people okay to be around.

Nots are a band that make me proud to be from Memphis. They are currently owning everything they touch because, and there's no fancy-assed way of saying it, they're good.
This is four girls who burn it down at every show they play. Natalie, Charlotte, Madison and Alexandra are not playing with you, they are for real and that's why they're getting good press while you're struggling to write a big hit song. This is four girls in a far-above-average post-rock or post-punk or garage or whatever the fuck you want to call it band that is better than a lot of your other so-called "bands". All four have been a part of other projects they were good in, they sound great together and their album 'We Are Nots' is out on GONER Records right now. Geoffrey Brent Shrewsbury directed this video for the single, "Decadence", and it's a very good video.
See them live when they play in a city near you unless you are scared to see something that makes you question your choices in life.

Here we will help you make the best choice, because psychologically, to make the right choice with your ice axe is as important as to make a right choice with your boots: the ice axe is for the good times and the hard times. You may even think that your life depends on your axe, or maybe that it has already saved you.
Also, an ice axe lasts for many years (even a lifetime); therefore, it is important to have in hand a tool that we like and trust, instead of regretting not spending a little more money.
However, one ice axe is not like any other. Soon you will have several different ones, for different activities. Usually we do not recommend having several tools of the same type, but rather different models that complement each other.
First we must describe the elements we find on an ice axe, whose assembly and shape will determine the type and appropriate use.
Head (modular or fixed):
All ice-axes are certified with a safety standard. This helps the consumer have a better knowledge of the product, although it can sometimes be slightly confusing, for example, when you find you have to choose between a type T and B ice axe. So let's take a closer look at this now:
T (Technical) or B (Basic)
This classification can be deceiving since it is not related to the use, but to the resistance of the ice-axe. It is governed by the standard EN-13089 and UIAA-152, which indicates the resistance in Kn and the exact laboratory tests to be passed, by both the shaft and the blades.
Lately however, manufacturers have begun to use T-Type picks on ice and mixed climbing ice axes.
Checking the safety standards is is certainly an important factor to bear in mind when choosing your ice axe.
1.1 Classic mountaineering ice axes
In this group we include tools for hiking, crossing glaciers or climbing easy mountains on normal ascent routes.
In this discipline, 90% of the time the ice axe will be used in the walking stick position. It will occasionally be used in the low dagger position; and very rarely, or never be used in the mid dagger or traction position. The only emergency use you should be prepared for is to use the ice axe for self-arrest.
The walking stick position means you will grip the ice axe at the head, so it is important that this is comfortable in your hand.
Its pick may be "negative" or neutral, usually without a sharp edge or tapered at 90°. The negative pick facilitates self-arrest manoeuvres, but results in a diminished ice penetration.
The toothing often disappears near the cross to improve its grip.
If we have to use an adze, a big one is better.
A classic ice axe for hiking has a straight or slightly curved shaft.
It must be long enough to more or less reach the ankle when grasping it from the cross, without bending over. The longer it is, the more comfortable and practical it will be to use on mild or moderate slopes (it is not made for steep slopes). However it is more cumbersome to transport and it will probably get caught on many branches as it sticks out from the backpack.
As they are designed for a less aggressive use, they are constructed prioritizing lightness over robustness.
This type of ice axe has a "leash", with a small sling attached to a ring (leash stop) that runs along the upper half of the shaft. This leash is very comfortable to use, although its resistance to use for self-safety is quite limited as they are made of plastic.
1.2 Classic ice axe for ski touring
For ski touring, having an ice axe is as basic as using a helmet.
We are not talking about climbing with skis, when skiing is just a means of approximation to go climbing with our ergonomic ice axe, but rather when go skiing we are able to resolve difficult or dangerous situations if they arise.
The ski ice axe should be equally lightweight, small and sturdy. The reason for needing lightness is obvious. The small size prevents it from cropping out from the backpack while we ski, and to avoid becoming a dangerous item as we roll when falling.
And despite being as light as possible, it must withstand any use. Usually, it is only used when the slope is vertical, as a stake, or hoe, in dagger or traction position. We might use it little but very intensely.
1.3 Classic ice axe for climbing
If the ski ice axe must be designed to withstand any kind of use, imagine how a mountaineering ice axe should be designed.
As the ice axe must be strong, a T type axe must be used. A mountaineering ice axe is designed for more aggressive use, on steeper terrain, with hard ice and rocks; and it must be versatile to be used in many ways: as an anchor, carving ice mushrooms or whatever it required.
Construction using blades and crosses made from sheet metal (as in mountaineering) are not used here; these ice axes are forged in a single piece that is securely attached to the shaft. The same happens with the spikes.
The pick will be neutral or positive, sharpened at 90º or higher.
Full or partially rubber grips are often used with a bend in the shaft. This curve is functional as it separates our hand from the surface of hard snow when using it in a dagger position. This is very useful on long and cold steep slopes.
It may have a leash, but it will not be sliding and will be for self-arrest and traction.
Who says a classic ice axe cannot be technical? Let's see what Grivel offers:
The G Zero is the cheapest of its line. For less than 70 Euro you can have a Grivel ice axe of less than half a kilo, with leash and the best grip on the cross of the market: a great walking stick ice axe.
However, a user will talk about technical mountaineering when using two ice axes.
In this segment, at the functional level, we can identify three types of ice axe: with a leash, and with an adjustable or fixed hand rest.
They usually exist in several sizes (although not mandatory) and some can mount classical and inverted blade.
2.1.1 With leash at the wrist
This type of ice axe is still popular when you have to drive the grip regularly and it is not necessary to release the tool a lot, for example, snow areas in which we donât need to use too much rope.
2.1.2 Adjustable hand rest
The adjustable hand rest will give you more freedom of movement. The mobility of the support allows, by lifting it, to drive the grip correctly and move comfortably with the axe in dagger position. Lowering it, we can go on traction axe without wrist leash (in these cases, a harness leash is usually very good, single or double). It is a system with additional benefits; and of course, those in this category also serve as a starting point to have your own âminimum equipment."
2.1.3 y 2.2.1. Fixed hand rest: ice axe for technical mountaineering and climbing
This was the climbing ice axe until the ergonomic grip became popular, which until then were used only in competitions or technical climbing. But far from extinct, thanks to its versatility, it lasts till today.
This type of tool allows you to climb difficult areas, you can still stick the grip in the snow, despite the hand rest, being the best option where you also have to climb snow, or make exposed flanks.
It is curious that you can still find for sale some model with wrist leash, totally in disuse. Climbing without a wrist leash is much more fluid, natural and relaxed, despite appearances. In order not to lose the tools or to improvise any possible hanging or self-belay, we only have to get used to wearing a harness leash (the famous "elastic", like the X-Gyro or Spinner Leash).
In the blade which is always reversed, we find a sharp positive pick, with the very important first tooth, very flat and long for ice, either pronounced or concave for mixed; fine and sharp teeth later, before wider teeth. Near the cross, the teeth become small and sharp despite the detriment that this entails to grab the cross (they devour the gloves), since they are of great help to hook on to big objects.
The upper and lower bevelling is a must, because when climbing vertically, good penetration is as important as a good recovery of the tool.
The sharpening and the toothing are very important as they determine that the head must be modular: blades for ice are different from the mix ones, thicker, with less acute sharpening and a different first tooth. Fixed blade climbing axes also belong to this description.
In recent times and with only a few exceptions, grips are well curved, something very practical to hook cauliflowers, holes, logs and columns (together with the teeth). To adapt to this curve, the blades no longer emerge at an angle from the cross as before, which was used along with the curved grip to achieve a perpendicular impact on the surface for a greater penetration.
The handle has a rubber grip for a better hold, always with a support for the hand and another one on top to move the hand as well as to use it on more flat terrain. Some models display a trigger for the index finger. Although it may seem of little use, you immediately become interested in the trigger, as you can aim better with it.
Finally, spikes that can be clipped have reappeared, as they had disappeared in recent times as the rest had been mounted on them.
2.2.2 Ergonomic
Here we present the modern ergonomic climbing ice axes, where driving the grip in the snow is sacrificed for a better grip in search of our limits.
For the blades, everything in the previous section still applies, although on the cross, the back element, shovel or hammer, often disappears. There are more "sporty" models without this option, or with it, for a multi-purpose use.
The equally curved grip is always manufactured with a second rubberised position (this type of ice axe is usually covered with "grip") and the most striking element is the grip, with or without spike, adjustable in size or angle, with a trigger.
In short, what is achieved with these grips is a more effective punch when we are fully stretched (we are talking about serious difficult climbing) and better top release. We will see different elements and benefits when talking about each model in detail.
The Light Machine:For couloirs, goulottes and technical mountaineering "North Face" type Grivel offers us this model with the best advantages in its category, thanks to its modular cross and the aggressive Ice or Mix blades. It has the Easy Slider harness leash to use the hand rest in traction mode, or to nail the grip in the snow without hindrance, keeping the anchorage of the leash in place without changing the clip.
If you want it even lighter for the same type of climbing, the Jorasses 2.0 offers the latest fixed inverted blade of the market for an ultra-light and super technical tool, plus the Easy Slider as standard.
The North Machine Carbon: This is the most spectacular and popular tool in the market, with a carbon grip (aluminium coated with carbon-composite, more specifically) and the Machine cross to mount the Ice or Mix blades (with hammer or blade); it is ultra-light and ultra-precise.
The Tech Machine:We reach the segment of ergonomic grips and Grivel offers us a super rubber grip, with spike, whose shape allows variations in grip according to the circumstances, together with the typical elasticity found in Grivel tools. You need more? Then you must have the carbon version.

Dishonest but Not Illegal
Brian Valsavage
In explaining the bank bailout to the American people, President Obama implied that the dirty little secret in all of the financial mess was that much of the financial institutions conduct was dishonest but not illegal, meaning America had no laws on the books clearly declaring the banks, mortgage companies, Realtors and Wall Street's obvious fraudulent practices, crimes punishable by the rule of written law.
In the phrase, dishonest but not illegal the concept implies that the lack of illegality equates to a lack of accountability for that dishonesty. While mostly true, the lack of illegality does little to change dishonest behavior into something acceptable. This legal technicality absolves no one's liability for willfully flaunting, what has become, the cause of America's decline.
Today, every American, rich or poor, pays for dishonesty in this Nation. Our eroded ethical standards fare no better than our highway infrastructure. As long as the incentive to lie and steal is not offset by accountability for those actions we will continue to decline, and at an ever increasing rate. I give America one more generation before we forever lose our prominence in the world.
A thousand years from now, when historians and authors use the term American I predict it will have the meaning of unconstrained greed to the point of self-destruction. We are all contributing writers to: The Rise and Fall of the American Empire.

Year-end Finals Finish event helps students unwind
April 6, 2009
KALAMAZOO--Finals Finish, an annual event that has become a Western Michigan University tradition, will take place from 6 to 11 p.m. Tuesday, April 21, at venues across campus.
Now in its 13th year, Finals Finish promotes student success by making spring finals week less stressful.
The free event helps students relax, refuel and revive so they can stay focused on doing well on their semester-end tests and projects. It also recognizes the achievements of WMU's graduating seniors, and involves the entire campus in closing the semester on a high note.
Sites participating in the spring 2009 Finals Finish include computer labs and Waldo Library, which will stay open longer than usual to support students' late-night study needs. As in past years, the Student Recreation Center will also extend its hours, as well as provide snacks and massages to students seeking a break from the pressure they may be feeling.
Volunteers needed
Members of the WMU and local communities assist in publicizing as well as staging Finals Finish. Volunteers are needed to work a two-hour shift from 8 to 10 p.m. and will receive a free T-shirt.
Those assigned to the recreation center, where most of the help is needed, will greet students, staff the registration table, serve snacks, monitor the study area, and issue recreational and fitness equipment.
The spring 2009 Finals Finish is being organized by WMU's Presidential Spirit Committee with support from numerous business sponsors and from University offices, faculty and staff members, retirees and alumni.

We learnt that we can express intentions or resolutions using -be going to
I'm going to do more exercise or I'm going to learn how to cook
I'm gonna spend less money on clothes (more informal)
But we also found it very useful to use would like to+inf . Even though it doesn't express a resolution, we needed it to share with each other the things we wish to change.
I'd like to stop smoking or I'd like to drive less and walk more
What was really tricky was to express it all in only four words!

Mary Ellen Apostolopoulos:
About Me
Mary Ellen Apostolopoulos
Who is Mary Ellen Apostolopoulos? I come from a very large Greek family … could you have guessed from my last name? Being part of a large family made me who I am today… out-going, easy to talk to, with a great appreciation for humor. My big family also taught me how to listen and, how to speak up; how to connect with people and how to trouble shoot any number of difficult and/or sensitive situations. I am a lifelong resident of the Chicago area; living in the Gold Coast and Old Town areas since 1998. As an enthusiast of the City's vibrant food scene, I love exploring the city's popular locales as well as its best-kept secrets. I'll admit to being a bit of a health and wellness freak… when I'm not working you might find me running along the lakefront, or in any of a number of yoga studios, or fitness classes that I have made a part of my community. Why Real Estate? I built my real estate career from a combination of entrepreneurial spirit, a passion for client service, and a deep love of the architecture and markets of Chicago's real estate. As a broker, I provide both buyers and sellers with nothing less than a positive attitude, expertise in sales, marketing, negotiation, organization and attention to detail, the ability to creatively solve problems and a boundless commitment to achieve their goals. What's My Background? With a degree in Business & Marketing from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign I began my career with a Chicago marketing firm. There, I honed my business skills and then took an entrepreneurial leap, starting my own business in pre-owned luxury automobiles. After dabbling in real estate investment, I was hooked and decided to make the switch to real estate …it's been over 10 years, and I've never looked back. What Can I Do for You? When I take you on as a client, I am seriously dedicated to listening to your goals and giving 150% of my energy to achieving those goals. I will take care of all of the details for you and ensure that your journey ends in success! I also love working with clients relocating from out of state or out of the country. I quickly understand their unique needs and can efficiently help streamline the process so that their time spent in town, viewing properties is most productive. While I am knowledgeable about the City neighborhoods in general, I feel that I offer particular insight into the markets of Streeterville, River North, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, West Loop, South Loop, and Bucktown. I am always ready to help people discover the neighborhoods that best match their interests and personalities.

The result for the seat of Indi, the electorate of Coalition industry spokeswoman Sophie Mirabella, may not be known for days.
The ABC reports that vote counting in Indi, held by Mirabella by a margin of nine per cent before Saturday's federal election won by the Coalition, has Mirabella ahead by 52 to 48 per cent on a two party preferred basis.
However, the flow of preferences would be complicated and the final result would take more time to determine.
Mirabella polled 44 per cent on primary votes to independent Cathy McGowan on 32 per cent, with Labor candidate Robyn Walsh receiving 11 per cent.
The industry spokeswoman said that Labor's vote had collapsed, and that the challenge from McGowan had received a lot of support from Labor, unions, the Greens and left-wing activist group GetUp!
"We saw them all working today on the booths," Fairfax reports her as saying.
"We saw once and for all that this independent was anything but independent."
The swing against Mirabella is 7.5 per cent, though she is slightly ahead.

For the past 100 years, Florida has had a public records law, giving its citizens open access to any document connected with official business of any state agency.
Eyewitness News Reporter John Rogers continues his 'We the People' series by looking into how you can use this law yourself.
Public records are made available so the public can be aware of what their state and local agencies are up to.
But many in the public are unaware that they have this right.
When you're requesting a public record, you don't have to give a reason...and you don't have to reveal your identity.
Florida Sunshine and Public Record Attorney Alexis Lambert says, "You do not have to show your identification, say your name, or give any proof of who you are because the right to access public records is for everyone regardless of who you are."
You can request these documents from any state or local public agency.
Businesses working on behalf of the public fall in line with this law too.
The Attorney General's office says when doing so, the agency could ask for some address to send it to, and the office says a reasonable fee could be charged.
An 8-by-11 inch page can cost up to 15-cents per copy
Five cents more can be added for double-sided copies.
And depending on the nature of your request, the cost could be more.
"As a general rule, it's 15-cents a page," says Lambert.
But you don't always have to pay.
Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum says, "If he wants to access them just to look at them, and it's a reasonable request, then he has an absolute right to it."
And it's a right that some people believe in and others shrug at.
"I'm a taxpayer, I have kids going to the different universities here and I'd like to know where my money is being spent at," says one man while walking in downtown Tallahassee.
"I think it's a breach of confidentiality," says one woman.
The Attorney General's office says Florida is one of the nation's leaders in open government and public access.
The process of looking at this information is simple...all the public has to do is ask.
On Wednesday, John Rogers concludes the 'We the People' series by looking into who enforces the public records law and what the punishments are if it is not followed.

Environmental Monitoring
As global climates shift, monitoring the extent of change is imperative. Through the use of the Hawk Owl, observation of a given area, at an elevation of up to 300m is made possible. The use of multiple 1080p HD cameras giving a 360° field of view provides great scope to monitor the environment. Additionally , the Hawk Owl can be fitted with alternative sensor packages to monitor environmental pollution such as smoke particulates or gases.
The Hawk Owl is silent in operation so could be used to inobtrusivley monitor wildlife populations over a prolonged period to assess environmental impacts

Technology helps businesses of all kinds keep their operations running soundly, but depending on the way that it's managed, it could have detrimental effects on your company. For example, if you have all kinds of solutions hosted on specific servers or workstations, you're keeping them from being accessed by devices that aren't connected to that specific network. Wouldn't it be better if everything was centralized so that all of it could be accessed at a glance?
You should work toward centralization of your company's IT assets as swiftly as possible, as it can provide your organization with enhanced accessibility and flexibility. If your business' assets are all located in the same place, you might be surprised at how many possibilities are opened up, including the ability to access data anytime, anywhere, on any device.
Most businesses think of centralization as hosting company assets in one location where they can be accessed at any given point. For a lot of companies, this means implementing cloud computing of some sort. This includes taking your assets and moving them into a virtual environment, where they can be accessed by anyone who needs them. Examples of cloud computing include the following:
If your business wants to take full advantage of centralized IT, we recommend reaching out to MERIT Solutions at (757) 420-5150. We can consult you on any number of technology topics and help you maintain your infrastructure.

Anna105 avait besoin d'un nouveau design de Autre et a lancé un concours sur 99designs.
Un gagnant a été sélectionné de 88 designs proposés par 30 designers freelance.
I am finishing my literary fiction and about to load on Kindle
Hi Designers
I am about to launch my debut novel on Amazon after breaking my contract with a literary agent. Going indie is a big decision and I would like a great cover!
I will include a synopsis of the novel below, if you feel that you require more information please let me know. It is based in Sydney, Australia and is titled: Paint Stop Boom.
"Heroes versus heroic acts, intentions versus instincts, paintings that stop bombs, a city changing to the tick of the clock that everyone is racing against, and the nature of change."
Paint Stop Boom revolves around two very different characters.
Anais is an eccentric artist who unwittingly paints pieces that stop bombs. Yet she is unwilling to help stop the attacks in Sydney . She does not want to be a hero.
Michael cannot comprehend how anyone would not believe in saving the world if they could. He has lost his family to a terrorist attack that exploded in the heart of Sydney and steals her paintings to stop the bombs.
Anais wants her life back. All her paintings have been stolen and she is running out of time to submit her entry to the Venice Biennale.
Michael is running out of time. He has stolen all her paintings and he needs more. But the police are after him for theft and Anais is refusing to paint any more.
It is a story of heroes versus anti-heroes, examining the clash between those who care and those who don't; the difference between those who want to lead their lives as best they can and those who want to save the world.
And of course, it's about the new Sydney that emerged from the attacks.

Game addiction is a serious mental illness that can be identified in two ways: one person either a) continuously invests in things that use money or objects that value even if negative consequences arise as a result or b) they can not stop playing even if they wish . People who suffer from gambling addiction often display a strong call to invest in a wide range of gaming media - from sports games to poker, choosing lottery numbers and throwing dice. And while friends and family members of compulsive attempts do not see the symptoms physically, as they often do with alcoholics or drug addicts, the consequences have gambling serious consequences for their lives and the lives of their friends and families. Not understanding its severity or taking it too easily can be devastating to the dependent man in the long run. Gamblers can reach a point to completely lose everything, from cars to homes, to companies and even respect from those who care about.
It is well-known that Florida is famous for providing hotspots for players around the world, as well as its residents. But how many players are actually eating economic problems? A recent survey by the Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling showed card games and reported that 70% of these people had trouble paying their bills. But here is the worst part, which is known to be a side effect of excessive gambling - 1 out of 3 of these card players admitted they participated in illegal activities to fund their gambling. Playing cards is not as harmless as we thought; Criminal activities are still a cause of concern.
Game addicts are not always obvious about their situation; sometimes they do not even realize themselves. They do not judge what has been lost as a result of their destructive activities and behaviors. Instead, coercionists only focus on the winnings, or the supposed investment aspect of the games they play. And unlike drugs or alcohol addiction, a person who is addicted to games will not show symptoms like heavy fatigue, disease, energy loss or dizziness. Instead, other factors are obvious, like falling into deep economic problems, losing quality time with those they love and increasing the risk of getting into drugs or alcohol dependence.
It is difficult to determine who has a game problem and who does not. Where is the threshold between social players and addicts? Are there any red flags? The answer is yes. Pathological players often show one or more of the following signs: negligence in family associations, dealing with criminal behavior to get more things to bet on, rather play then hang out with friends, talk too much about games and win money, use drugs or alcohol to distract them from wanting to play more, get annoyed when they do not play, neglect important spell responsibilities and lie for family and friends to go out. A combination of these characters should be a red flag when identifying a compulsor. But keep in mind, neither of these characters mentions how many times a person plays during a period of time. Its not about quantity. A person can play every day and it can not affect his life. Gambling abuse is not okay if you are rich rich players can still have problems like neglecting their dear and other important responsibilities.
Florida is famous for its casinos, entertainment venues and cruise ships. But environmental factors like these can lead to people becoming more susceptible to the development of gambling addiction. Gambling addiction is not a problem alone - it can lead to criminal behavior, mental distress and depression and burn other dangerous addictions. As previously mentioned, a person may fall into drug or alcohol addiction to supplement or replace his behavior. The combination of multiple addictions can be devastating and harder to treat; It would be like tied a path of loose strings and try to rub them at once.
Addiction specialists and counselors use different methods to effectively deal with game dependence, including: helping the addict to understand what drives him or her to play, replacing his habits with more productive activities, understanding how it affects the people they care about, and finally , strengthen their willingness to live a more productive lifestyle. If you notice warning signs that you or your loved one suffer from gambling addiction, it is important to intervene and find treatment before its too late. Doctors treat game addiction as a serious brain disease, and people who suffer from it are also prone to drug abuse. The importance of acquiring immediate treatment may be the difference between losing everything and saving someones life.

Green Beer is the 'unofficial' song of the annual Saint Patrick's Day celebration, a day filled with leprechauns, shamrocks and, of course, green beer. It is sung to a "Die Dee, Die Dee, Die Dee, Die Dee" melody.
Once upon in Ireland
St. Patrick raised his arms
And cleared the Emerald Isle
Of Pagan snakes & charms
Now once a year in the month of March
The day of seventeen
We gladly raise a glass to him
And drink a beer of green.
Green beer, green beer
So bubbly as it pours
Green beer, green beer
The crowd cries out for more
Green beer, green beer
Come chase the blues away
Green beer, green beer
On old St. Patty's Day
Down in New York City
They put on a grand parade
Where everyone's an Irishman
If only for the day
The streets are filled with sham-a-rocks,
Shillelaghies and colleens
And down at Duffy's Bar and Grill
You can hear them scream
Repeat Chorus
Now you may wonder how green beer
Got its fancy hue
Well once upon in Ireland
A leprechaun needed to
Relieve himself and so he pissed
Into a nearby stream
That just by chance was passing by
The local brewery…(magically delicious!)
Repeat Chorus
The song was written in 1995 by Jerome A. Holst, the owner/webmaster of the ENCHANTED AMERICA website. ©All Rights Reserved.

Today's businesses have a content overload challenge. Every minute in 2017, there were 448,000 tweets along with 317,000 status updates and 54,000 shared links on Facebook.
With content so ubiquitous, competition for an audience is ferocious. It's also not cheap. The average one- to two-minute B2B web video costs between $1,500 and $20,000. The average small business, though, spends only $400 per month on marketing.
Despite these challenges, simply not marketing in today's world isn't an option. Entrepreneurs and small- to mid-sized businesses are forced to enter the fray, and to stay competitive, they must get scrappy in producing high-quality content across social media that can get their brand out there — and their story remembered.
Weathering the Content Storm
Great content starts with the right mindset and a good story. Businesses that foreground a brand narrative and embrace variety, particularly on social media, can leverage the fact that audiences want (and seek) to engage narrative content across multiple platforms and formats.
Unfortunately, though, disseminating a variety of content can be expensive. To maintain a tight budget, brands must get strategic with content repurposing. By altering content through either angle or format, companies can maximize the work they've already done in generating that foundational material while simultaneously reducing costs by reusing it in a "new" way.
A great example of both variety and content repurposing comes from RedPixie, a London-based Microsoft partner and one of Europe's largest cloud providers. RedPixie does an exemplary job of leveraging multiple social media channels with new and repurposed content that's always linked back to its website (the nucleus of a brand's web presence). The company consistently provides high-quality content in "homegrown" YouTube videos, professional Facebook videos, and blog posts, all aimed at engaging customers and prospects via storytelling — not just selling to them.
3 Rules for Crafting Effective Content
With these two strategies in mind, you're ready to employ a few simple rules to craft engaging content narratives.
- Be cohesive and concise. Often, brands try to "boil the ocean" when telling their stories. Resist that temptation, because less is more when it comes to crafting a compelling narrative. A single well-constructed story that resonates with consumers is far more effective than a slew of random anecdotes or a laundry list of disconnected facts, even if those anecdotes or facts reflect favorably on your company.
- Be consistent. In recent years, the number of B2B marketing touchpoints required to close a deal skyrocketed by at least 50 percent. Thus, businesses — particularly small- to mid-sized ones — must stay in front of customers and prospects longer, using content and information that deeply engages them. Establishing and sticking to a written editorial calendar based on desired business outcomes and target audiences can help brands train this new marketing muscle.
- Be committed. Social media success requires real investments in production, creativity, and time. Leaders must set their marketing teams up with the resources and agility required to execute social media strategies and to thereafter quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate their efficacy. Still, don't let budget constraints quash creativity and potential. Infographics, for instance, are visually appealing and relatively inexpensive data-driven tools that can intrigue customers. Short, on-point blog posts are also inexpensive and effective. More recently, Facebook Live has emerged as a unique video engagement tool for a business on a budget.
Social media has made it easier than ever to get your story out there. Brands that craft compelling narratives and then leverage those narratives by repurposing them on a variety of social platforms will quickly see their web presences far exceed their marketing budgets. You don't have to be a billion-dollar company to create strong digital content — but you do have to think like one. And a great story that engages audiences across the spectrum of social media is a gold mine.

Braces are often the ideal solution for repairing dental issues like crooked teeth, overcrowded teeth, large gaps in the mouth, and problems with underbites or overbites. They work to straighten teeth and re-align them properly to restore a naturally beautiful smile while preventing any more damage.
Traditional braces are incredibly effective, strong and deliver long-lasting results. They exert constant pressure on the teeth over time to adjust them into a healthy new position. These days there are a range of modern braces types available that are far less noticeable than those in the past, such as invisible Invisalign. Metal braces are stronger, while ceramic braces can be tooth-coloured and lingual braces are fully concealed by attaching to the back of the teeth.
Our dentists can professionally assess your teeth and recommend the perfect braces solution for you.
Price: FREE assessment and first consultation, after which we can provided a detailed cost
Contact us for further information.
Benefits of Braces
- Braces greatly enhances the look of your smile, restoring your face and mouth to its naturally beautiful state. A perfectly aligned smile also boosts confidence and self-esteem.
- Braces offer a highly effective and strong solution for most jaw problems, as well as having a long-lasting impact on the alignment of your teeth as you grow older. A range of options developed in recent years means they look more natural and no longer have the drawbacks of looking like 'metal-mouth'.
- Re-alignment of teeth makes them easier to clean, reduces plaque build up in your mouth and lowers the risk of dental issues such as tooth decay and harmful gum disease.
- Some braces treatments can be covered by health insurance. Ask your health insurance provider to find out if they are included in your policy.
Our Procedure for Fitting Braces
- Firstly, our specialist dental team will make a full assessment of your jaw and the results you are hoping to achieve. From here they will recommend and confirm which type offers the best solution, taking into consideration your personal preference and budget.
- The procedure starts by using separators to create new space in between your back molars.
- When separators are removed, bands are then fitted around your molars to anchor down the braces.
- We then attach a small bracket to your teeth, and wire is placed through the brackets before being attached to the bands. This is what creates pressure on teeth to re-align.
- Our dental team will set regular appointments for you to visit and get your braces checked for progress and adjusted if needed.

Mozilla Firefox 3.0.13 and earlier, 3.5, 3.6 a1 pre, and 3.7 a1 pre; SeaMonkey 1.1.17; and Mozilla 1.7.x and earlier do not properly handle javascript: URIs in HTML links within 302 error documents sent from web servers, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via vectors related to (1) injecting a Location HTTP response header or (2) specifying the content of a Location HTTP response header.
Mozilla Firefox 3.0.13 and earlier, 3.5, 3.6 a1 pre, and 3.7 a1 pre; SeaMonkey 1.1.17; and Mozilla 1.7.x and earlier do not properly block data: URIs in Refresh headers in HTTP responses, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via vectors related to (1) injecting a Refresh header that contains JavaScript sequences in a data:text/html URI or (2) entering a data:text/html URI with JavaScript sequences when specifying the content of a Refresh header. NOTE: in some product versions, the JavaScript executes outside of the context of the HTTP site.
Argument injection vulnerability involving Mozilla, when certain URIs are registered, allows remote attackers to conduct cross-browser scripting attacks and execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in an unspecified URI, which are inserted into the command line when invoking the handling process, a similar issue to CVE-2007-3670.
The Javascript engine in Mozilla 1.7 and earlier on Sun Solaris 8, 9, and 10 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving garbage collection that causes deletion of a temporary object that is still being used. NOTE: this issue might be related to CVE-2006-3805.
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the JavaScript engine for Mozilla Firefox 2.x before 220.127.116.11, 1.5.x before 22.214.171.124, Thunderbird before 126.96.36.199, SeaMonkey before 1.0.7, and Mozilla 1.7 and probably earlier on Solaris, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown impact and attack vectors.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Mozilla 1.7.12 and possibly earlier, Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7 and possibly earlier, and Netscape 8.1 and possibly earlier, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the -moz-binding (Cascading Style Sheets) CSS property, which does not require that the style sheet have the same origin as the web page, as demonstrated by the compromise of a large number of LiveJournal accounts.
Firefox and Mozilla can associate a cookie with multiple domains when the DNS resolver has a non-root domain in its search list, which allows remote attackers to trick a user into accepting a cookie for a hostname formed via search-list expansion of the hostname entered by the user, or steal a cookie for an expanded hostname, as demonstrated by an attacker who operates an ap1.com Internet web site to steal cookies associated with an ap1.com.example.com intranet web site.
Mozilla allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a Javascript BODY onload event that calls the window function.
The browser user interface in Firefox before 1.0.5, Mozilla before 1.7.9, and Netscape 8.0.2 and 7.2 does not properly distinguish between user-generated events and untrusted synthetic events, which makes it easier for remote attackers to perform dangerous actions that normally could only be performed manually by the user.
The InstallTrigger.install method in Firefox before 1.0.5 and Mozilla before 1.7.9 allows remote attackers to execute a callback function in the context of another domain by forcing a page navigation after the install method has been called, which causes the callback to be run in the context of the new page and results in a same origin violation.
Firefox before 1.0.5, Mozilla before 1.7.9, and Netscape 8.0.2 and 7.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (access violation and crash), and possibly execute arbitrary code, by calling InstallVersion.compareTo with an object instead of a string.
Firefox before 1.0.5 and Mozilla before 1.7.9 allows a child frame to call top.focus and other methods in a parent frame, even when the parent is in a different domain, which violates the same origin policy and allows remote attackers to steal sensitive information such as cookies and passwords from web sites whose child frames do not verify that they are in the same domain as their parents.
Firefox before 1.0.5 and Mozilla before 1.7.9 does not clearly associate a Javascript dialog box with the web page that generated it, which allows remote attackers to spoof a dialog box from a trusted site and facilitates phishing attacks, aka the "Dialog Origin Spoofing Vulnerability."
Firefox before 1.0.5, Mozilla before 1.7.9, and Netscape 8.0.2 does not properly verify the associated types of DOM node names within the context of their namespaces, which allows remote attackers to modify certain tag properties, possibly leading to execution of arbitrary script or code, as demonstrated using an XHTML document with IMG tags with custom properties ("XHTML node spoofing").
Firefox before 1.0.5 and Mozilla before 1.7.9 does not properly clone base objects, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by navigating the prototype chain to reach a privileged object.
Firefox before 1.0.4 and Mozilla Suite before 1.7.8 does not properly implement certain security checks for script injection, which allows remote attackers to execute script via "Wrapped" javascript: URLs, as demonstrated using (1) a javascript: URL in a view-source: URL, (2) a javascript: URL in a jar: URL, or (3) "a nested variant."
Firefox before 1.0.4 and Mozilla Suite before 1.7.8 do not properly limit privileges of Javascript eval and Script objects in the calling context, which allows remote attackers to conduct unauthorized activities via "non-DOM property overrides," a variant of CVE-2005-1160.
Firefox before 1.0 and Mozilla before 1.7.5 allow remote attackers to load local files via links "with a custom getter and toString method" that are middle-clicked by the user to be opened in a new tab.
Firefox 0.9, Thunderbird 0.6 and other versions before 0.9, and Mozilla 1.7 before 1.7.5 save temporary files with world-readable permissions, which allows local users to read certain web content or attachments that belong to other users, e.g. content that is managed by helper applications such as PDF.

Van Day Truex Envy
Jealousy reared its ugly head last week as I was perusing the February issue of House Beautiful. It was while reading the article on designer John Peixinho's attractive Newport house that I about fell out, so to speak. Right there on page 78 was a photo of Peixinho's dining room, which featured a wall devoted entirely to wash drawings by designer Van Day Truex. To someone like me who covets Truex's drawings (and who dreams about the day I own one of my own), this photo was simply awe-inspiring. In fact, I believe that the moment I saw this photo, I heard the proverbial choir of angels sing.
Of course, I'm not really jealous of Peixinho and his enviable collection of Truex art. Rather, I admire his keen eye and his good taste. The House Beautiful article mentions that one of Peixinho's Truex drawings (seen in the second photo, above) had originally been painted for Brooke Astor. I don't know the extent of Astor's collection of Truex drawings, but I do know that at least two were sold at the mammoth Brooke Astor Sotheby's sale in 2012.
Another person who owned an enviable collection of Truex drawings was Albert Hadley, who was Truex's great friend. Hadley had a number of his friend's drawings on display in both his Manhattan apartment as well as his Connecticut house, and he even included Truex's drawings on an Elle Décor-published list of the designer's favorite things.
If you wish to learn more about Truex and his drawings, then you must read Adam Lewis's wonderful biography of Truex, Van Day Truex: The Man Who Defined Twentieth-Century Taste and Style. And speaking of Lewis, he also owns a couple of Truex drawings, which you can see below. And rounding out this brief list of Truex collectors is Christopher Spitzmiller, whose Truex drawing graces the foyer of his Manhattan apartment. Look closely at the photos below, and you'll see that Truex drawings seem to get passed down amongst friends, which is really as it should be.

Really pleased to see the G. P & J Baker classic 'Ferns' Fabric being used a loose cover. About to feature in our new bedroom. Wasn't it supposedly Edith Wharton's favourite fabric too? I've learnt recently that it's based on an 18th century print or drawing depicting the various species of ferns growing within a mile radius of the Mansion House- the Lord Mayor's official residence in the City of London.ReplyDelete
Such subtle, serene, and ethereal works of art. Thank you so much for sharing these with us Jennifer.ReplyDelete

I love his paintings as much as you do. Not sure if you saw my post many years ago on the story of my own Truex painting, which I discovered in a small shop in Georgetown. They described it as "an old Italian print" and I think I bought it for $400 or something. I even sent photos of it to Adam Lewis who confirmed its authenticity and knew when it was painted and who for. I had it reframed a couple of years ago and now it has pride of place in my bedroom.ReplyDelete

The future of games distribution is digital. Whether that's in 5 or 15 years' time, that's what's going to happen. Your grandkids won't be buying games in boxes. But don't tell GameStop that!
The retailer has said that an "addressable market" for the digital download of games - as in, one that needs addressing by the company - "will not exist until 2014."
And even when we do get to 2014, GameStop reckons only 25% of its customers will "have access to the technology required to download full games" by then.
Right. Let's break that down.
- Almost everybody with a PC already has "access to the technology required to download full games", via digital delivery services such as Steam and Direct2Drive. These services are already seeing big take-ups, with more and more publishers distributing their titles on them. Steam, for example, now carries almost every game from all of the big publishers, including Activision, EA, Take-Two & Ubisoft. Those publishers, unlike GameStop, can see which way the wind is blowing.
- Soon, anybody with an Xbox 360 and an internet connection will be able to download the full version of retail games. Not demos, not limited online-only games, but full, complete games, just like the ones you used to buy at GameStop.
- The PS3 already has this ability, with the full retail version of Burnout Paradise having been available for download for months now, along with other titles like Warhawk and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. It'll only be a matter of time before, like the 360, Sony begins to offer more titles.
- Especially when you consider it's Sony who will soon be launching the world's first major download-only games console, the PSPgo. While the PSP was never really GameStop's #1 earner, the writing is clearly on the wall when a company doesn't just stop at offering games for sale at retail and via download, but cuts out retail altogether.
Ask yourself this: in 2006, how many games did you download? And that question is open to anyone, PC owners or console gamers. Now, in 2009, how many games do you download, with all the major publishers on Steam and digital downloads on all three home consoles starting to hit their stride?
GameStop can twiddle their fingers and cover their ears all they like, but saying only 25% of gamers will be downloading games by 2014 just sounds crazy. They'll be lucky if it's not at that number in half the time.

Chazon Tekna School's 10th Annual Charity Golf Day will be held at the Prestigious Highlands Gate Golf & Trout Estate, near Dullstroom in Mpumalanga. Highland Gate, as an Ernie Els signature course, is one of the most challenging and scenic courses in the country. "When golfers say they were torn between hitting their next shot and pausing to take a photo of the golf course or the surrounding scenery, you know it has to be a very special place. Highland Gate is definitely that kind of place". – Ernie Els
Chazon has been assisting the community through various projects since we opened in 2000. This Golf Day event aims to gather funds to finance our school's various community service projects throughout the 2018 year. While we have many projects, the most important of these is our outreach visits to the Silver Days Old Age Home in Waterval Boven, where we spread joy and comfort to the old and frail through small concerts and the comforting touch of a hug from a child. We also regularly provide groceries to this cause.
The field will be limited to only 25 four balls for this event. Join our special celebrity host and various top SA sport stars for a truly memorable golf experience.
Saturday, 5 May 2018
Tournament format: Betterball
R2800 per four ball
10:30 Shotgun Start
Big sponsorship opportunities are available and donations will be appreciated. See our website for more details: www.chazongolf.co.za.

Day Two.
On the Second day of Christmas we opened more gifts, enjoyed the day relaxing and recovering from so much going hither and thither then it was time to load up and go hunting for Christmas lights.
Ephraim had a stomach bug this day, so that was fun and required him to take along the Barf Bucket. Thankfully though we had no barfing in the van.
Martha crying but ready to go and looking very much like Russell in Fat Albert.
We found some lights! There are several fun spots in the city where the folks go all out. They even have their lights choreographed to music you can tune into on the radio.
After seeing lights we headed home. On the way we picked up McDonald's for supper. Daddy said we could eat picnic style in the basement while he watched basketball. Woot!
Day Three.
On the Third day of Christmas we had a White Christmas movie party with white party snacks.
