You will have quite a number of fast and very cost effective ways to make a deposit into and also a withdrawal out of any mobile casino site you have an account at, however many players prefer the convenience of using PayPal as their preferred mobile casino banking option.
PayPal is a very safe and secure and highly efficient web wallet type account, and it will take just a matter of minutes to open up an account with them, and as soon as you do so you can then start to move money into any mobile casino site that accepts PayPal and will also be able to get paid out your winnings from those sites too.
Be aware though that not every mobile casino site and casino app will allow you to use PayPal, and often it will be a case of where you are living as to whether PayPal will allow you to use your account to fund any type of gambling site account. Please read on to find out more about the pros and cons of using PayPal.
Making Deposits by PayPal
To fund a mobile casino site account using PayPal you will simply need to log into your casino account as normal and then simply tap onto the cashier or banking button. Once the banking interface loads you then simply need to select PayPal as you banking option.
You then need to enter the amount you wish to deposit and then click on the submit button, you will then be taking to the PayPal website where you need to enter your PayPal registered email address and your password and then log into your account.
You then simply need to authorise that transaction and instantly the funds will be removed from your PayPal account balance and will appear in your casino site account. Be aware that there are never usually any fees or charges to be paid to the casino site that you are making a deposit at.
However, if you do not have enough cash in your PayPal account balance then you will be promoted to top up that account using any of the usual payment methods you usually use to fund your PayPal account.
Making Use of PayPal Deposit Bonuses
One thing you will find of great interest if you like maximizing the value of your bankroll and gambling budget is that there will be no shortages of casino bonus offers and promotional deals available to you at all mobile casino sites if you do fancy using PayPal.
The first types of bonuses you are going to be able to make use of will be new player sign up bonuses which can take the shape and form of deposit match bonuses, free slot spins on which you can keep the winnings and even some free no risk no deposit bonuses too.
The bonuses and promotional offers will not end when you have claimed any mobile casinos sign up bonuses, for plenty of ongoing bonuses will be available to you too.
Also, it is worth keeping in mind that whilst you can play any mobile casino games for free and at no risk, when you play them for real money you will be earning comp points much like you do when playing at a bricks and mortar casino, and as such any bonuses you have claimed and are using in addition to the comps you will earn from your gaming action will always ensure you get plenty of playing value!
Rapid PayPal Casino Withdrawals
Now that you know about the bonuses you are going to be able to claim and make use of, how to make a deposit and also a little bit more about getting additional playing value, let us now turn our attention to enlightening you on the benefits of making withdrawals using PayPal.
As you may or may not know, PayPal is a two way mobile casino banking option and as such you will not only be able to fund your account whenever you like using it but you can also get your winnings paid back into your PayPal account too.
One thing we would advise you to do when you first register as a new player at any mobile casino site is to also send in copies of the required identification documents a casino requires to verify your account and you as a legally aged player.
By doing so you will then not have to waste any time sending those documents in at a later date but will also be benefiting from fast winning payouts once your account has been fully verified.
Quite a number of PayPal accepting mobile casinos have now also got in place a system that allows them to pay out all winning players instantly to PayPal, or if not instantly usually in a couple of hours or so. With that in mind when you are on the hunt for a mobile casino site to sign up to and play at as a real money player make sure you compare the payout times of each casino you check out.
If you do find a casino site that offers you instant winning payouts to PayPal then you are never going to be left hanging around for days or week to get your winnings paid out to you, which is what you could end up doing at some other mobile casino sites.
Also, never play at a mobile casino site that is going to charge you anything for making a withdrawal, as those withdrawal fees and charges can often make a sizable dent in your winning payouts once you have been forced to pay them!
Do All Mobile Casinos Accept PayPal?
Please take your time when you are looking for a mobile casino site at which to play at, the first thing you should be looking for are casinos that are fully licensed and regulated, as that way you will never be worried about your account balances or whether the games are fair and random.
Also, only select a mobile casino site to play at as a real money player that allows you to make a deposit using the banking option or banking options you want to use, and it is also very important to play only at mobile casino sites that allow you to fund your accounts using your own home currency too!
Not every casino site allows players to make deposits and/or get paid out their winnings to and from PayPal, but we do have a list of them on our website and on this web page, so stick to playing at those casinos if you do wish to use PayPal and you also want the peace of mind in knowing the casino sites you are playing at are fully licensed and regulated.
Remember if you are not 100% sure as to whether you will enjoy playing real money casino games on your mobile device, you can always test them out for free as all of our featured mobile casino sites have demo mode versions of all of their games they have on offer, so spend some time testing them out if you like!
What Mobile Casino Games Can I Play?
If you do wish to play at a mobile casino site and are thinking of using PayPal as both your deposit and withdrawal methods then you will be pleased to hear that you will not be making any compromises, for in regards to the numbers, types and categories of casino games that are on offer you will find hundreds of them at most PayPal accepting mobile casinos!
If you like playing slot machines then classic, 3 reel, video and progressive slot machines are going to be available to you and a range of UK themed fruit machines too, and you will of course be able to play them for any stake level you like or even play for free if you so desire.
Video poker players are going to be very impressed with the pay tables and payout percentages on offer on the mobile casino video poker games, and much like the slot machines mentioned above you will be able to configure them to any stake level you like.
We know many casino game players do enjoy playing card and table games on their mobile devices and as such you will find games such as Roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat as well as many unique casino poker game variants on offer, and it will be worth checking the payouts on those games and also the game play rules too for you will find plenty of very low house mobile casino games available to you too.
One word of advice if you are looking for the best paying mobile casino games and you want to use PayPal as you preferred banking option then all of those casino sites showcased throughout our website are going to the be the very best ones to sign up to and play at!

Obfuscating the MLK issue
It's impossible to tell how much of the contents of your letter to BeyondChron are deliberate obfuscation or just plain ignorance:
"On June 16, Judge James Warren ruled against the public interest when he validated the Golden Gate Park Concourse Project, thereby throwing out all claims under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Prop J, The Golden Gate Park Revitalization Act of 1998, as well as other state and county planning statutes." (see the Text of Prop. J)
In fact, Judge Warren validated the Concourse Project last August 10 in his first Statement of Decision. The only issue he had reservations about was the "dedicated" roadway to the southern, inside-the-park entrance to the garage (see pages 15-22 in the August 10, 2004, Statement of Decision for a thorough discussion of that issue). That was the only issue being litigated, regardless of the wishful thinking and/or outright disinformation from you and your allies.
Judge Warren's political affiliation: It's simply wrong to cite Warren's membership in the Republican Party as a factor in his decisions ("activist Republican judge [who]was preparing to give away the entire Park"). If you read both the decisions, you can see that they are well-written, logically argued, and based on the facts, including the text of Proposition J (both decisions can be viewed at http://www.sftc.org/ after entering case number, 427163).
The fact that neither you nor any of your allies in the anti-garage movement have done a public analysis of these decisions shows that your argument lacks intellectual seriousness. Instead, you just sound like a bad loser. In fact, no one has "given away" the park. The Concourse Authority is a public entity, as is Park and Rec., which oversees the Authority. Not to mention our progressive Board of Supervisors, which signed off on the final EIR.
"Our attorneys had never witnessed such a miscarriage of justice in over thirty years of environmental litigation."
Even if you didn't read Warren's 2004 Statement of Decision, Stephen, surely your attorneys did. It was irresponsible of them not to tell you that the game was essentially over, except for the "dedicated" access to the southern entrance issue. They also should have told you that your chances were slim to none that you'd win on that issue. Indeed, they should have advised you to forget about pursuing your litigation.
There's been no injustice here. Your attorneys are just bummed because they probably won't be awarded any fees---that is, money from the city's treasury---for their "public interest" litigation, since they haven't won a single victory to justify getting the $250,000. I'd like to see an itemization of that bill, by the way. Maybe you can send me a copy.
"Think about this: The City won this suit on June 16th, and there wasn't a single article in the San Francisco Chronicle, The Examiner or any other area daily. Could it be that they don't want to bring attention to their impending boondoggle, prior to the issuance of revenue bonds to pay off their personal loans?"
Don't forget that District 5 Diary published a note after the June 16 decision. And, in the past six months, I've done a number of blog items on the MLK/garage issue, including a long interview with the Concourse Authority's Executive Director, Mike Ellzey. Remember, Stephen, I'm always here for you. Your "boondoggle" charge is without foundation, since there's no evidence of any public money going into the garage. If you have any such evidence, let's see it. I'll publish it here in my blog.
The ballot measure against widening MLK: After all that litigation and all that money for lawyers, you're back where you started---having to accept the Concourse Authority's original plan to access the inside-the-park garage entrance. And you won't even get that if city voters reject your ballot measure, and I'll do my small part to ensure that they do reject it.
Dear Randy, Casey and Alison[Beyond Chron],
Thank you for alerting your readers to the upcoming ballot measure to stop the increase of traffic lanes on MLK Drive to provide "dedicated" access from Lincoln Way & 9th Avenue to the deYoung Museum underground garage.
On June 16, Judge James Warren ruled against the public interest when he validated the Golden Gate Park Concourse Project, thereby throwing out all claims under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Prop J, The Golden Gate Park Revitalization Act of 1998, as well as other state and county planning statutes. The judge you get is dependent on the luck of the draw. We drew a right wing, pro-privatization activist Republican judge who deferred to The City and the private Music Concourse Community Partnership on every point of law.
After reducing our entire legal claim down to the single issue of the illegal second garage entrance, he approved the increase of traffic lanes as mitigation, legalizing an intra-park garage entrance (which voters never approved) on Academy Drive adjacent to the Music Concourse Bandshell. We settled in mid-May because this activist Republican judge was preparing to give away the entire Park and hand our heads to us on a platter. Our attorneys had never witnessed such a miscarriage of justice in over thirty years of environmental litigation.
With over a quarter million in legal obligations, and serious threats being made against Chris's personal assets, we decided to negotiate the best deal for the public interest and pedestrian safety, by stopping the MLK Drive increase to four traffic lanes, while compensating our attorneys, and relieving us of the burden of a costly administrative record after losing in court.
Think about this: The City won this suit on June 16th, and there wasn't a single article in the San Francisco Chronicle, The Examiner or any other area daily. Could it be that they don't want to bring attention to their impending boondoggle, prior to the issuance of revenue bonds to pay off their personal loans?
FYI: Neither Chris nor I received any funds as a part of our settlement with MCCP.
MCCP agreed "to pay $30,000 to assist in pedestrian improvements related to the presently unfunded second phase of Concourse Improvements, including the restoration of pedestrian access to the area behind the band shell, in a check make payable to the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department."
Furthermore, it provided: " SGGP and MCCP both agree to support and/or not oppose a ballot measure to amend Proposition J to allow cars to enter and exit the southern entrance of the Underground Parking Facility at Martin Luther King Drive and Music Concourse Drive without requiring the use or construction of a dedicated access route."
Furthermore: "MCCP agrees to pay $30,000 towards the funding of the ballot initiative campaign. In its sole and exclusive discretion, MCCP may withdraw the $30,000 to fund the ballot initiative campaign described above if a ballot measure to amend Proposition J includes issues other than eliminating the requirement of the dedicated south access route. MCCP also will withdraw the $30,000 to fund the ballot initiative campaign if the measure to amend Proposition J is not on the ballot or otherwise approved by the Board of Supervisors by August 10, 2005. If MCCP withdraws funding of the ballot measure, MCCP will direct the $30,000 intended fo the ballot measure instead to the Concourese Improvements described" above.

On Tuesday May 14 at 11.30 a.m. Joseph Gallivan interviews curator Laura Mueller [pron. MOO-ler] about Northern Lights, a ceramics show at the Portland Japanese Garden which runs through May 27. Mueller talks about how ceramics in the northern Japanese region of Hokkaido developed under new freedoms in the 19th century and resulted in exquisite contemporary sculptural works that are visiting Portland for the month of May.
Northern Lights: Ceramic Art of Hokkaido Revisited
April 27, 2019 - May 27, 2019 / Garden Hours
Northern Lights: Ceramic Art of Hokkaido Revisited follows up on an exhibition held at the Portland Japanese Garden a decade ago and celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Hokkaido Pottery Society. A long sister-city relationship between the Hokkaido Pottery Society and the Oregon Pottery Association has resulted in numerous reciprocal exhibitions, and the bonds between these potters continue to flourish.
The exhibition, guest curated by Sachiko Matsuyama, features major works by 21 established artists of the Hokkaido Pottery Society, with additional work by the broader membership. It is held in conjunction with the Year of Hokkaido at Portland Japanese Garden which commemorates the 60th anniversary of the sister-city relationship between Portland and Sapporo.
During the Meiji period (1868 – 1912), abundant land and government support prompted artisans including papermakers, silk farmers, and potters to flock to Hokkaido from around the country. Almost all the existing kilns in Hokkaido were established following WWII. There are more than 400 potters in Hokkaido today, most of them working as individual artists.
This exhibition is sponsored by The Standard and by Katherine and Mark Frandsen.
Joseph Gallivan has been a reporter since 1990. He has covered music for the London Independent, Technology for the New York Post, and arts and culture for the Portland Tribune, where he is currently the Business Reporter. He is the author of two novels, "Oi, Ref!" and "England All Over" which are available on Amazon.com
This show was recorded at KBOO on May 10, 2019 in Production 1.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'friendship' tag.
By Nicolle
With the intention of making my unloading job easier, I once grabbed four dinner plates from inside the dishwasher. As I began to lift them, the wet, slippery underside of the bottom plate got the best of me. I dropped all four dishes on our ceramic kitchen floor.
That incident (along with a few others) convinced my family that I can't be trusted with dishware (even though I'm still the chief dishwasher-emptier). I'm forced to absorb jokes and jabs about my butterfingers, and the mismatched dishes in the cupboard don't do anything for my dish-breaker reputation.
My family thinks I'm just careless, that I don't pay attention to how easy it is to break the dishes (I disagree and argue that if we just used plastic dishes or had rubber floors, the problem would be solved). Their arguments remind me that even things that are really quite delicate can sometimes appear unbreakable. Friendships are one of those things.
One of my closest friends is dating a guy I think is wonderful for her. I don't believe in soulmates but if I did, I'd claim he was hers. That said, her relationship with him means she spends less time with me. And I get jealous.
Now, she's also pursuing a degree, living 45 minutes away from me and in the middle of an internship, so I can't entirely blame her boyfriend for the fact that I don't get to see her as much as I'd like. But occasionally, I feel like she's choosing him over me when her schedule opens up and she has a night free.
And, honestly, sometimes she does choose him over me. One of the reasons, we've recently discovered when we confronted this very issue, is that our friendship feels more dependable, more stable and more reliable. If we neglect our friendship for a few weeks (or months), we're both confident that we'll easily be able to pick right back up where we left off, no worse for the wear.
But, to neglect a romantic relationship for that same period of time is relational suicide. It clearly states to your partner that s/he isn't as important as your job, your friends, your softball team or your book club.
In general, we demonstrate that we value our significant others more than our friends even though our friends are sometimes the people we turn to in our most difficult times. We devote more time and energy to our romantic relationships because they feel more fragile, and seem to need more attention, while our friendships seem stable, consistent and dependable.
There's a lot of truth in that evaluation, especially to the unmarried. Right now, I've been "with" my best friends for more than six years. I've never had a boyfriend that long, so in my perspective, my friends are more dependable than a guy. I value my friendships more than any relationship I've had because my friends held my hand after my awful break-up, jumped up and down with me when I got my new job, visited me after I had my wisdom teeth pulled out and missed me when I lived in Australia. That kind of community is invaluable.
At some point, I realize, that could change. As my friends get married, their values have to shift in order to insure a successful marriage. I can no longer expect to share the same space as her husband on my best friend's list of priorities.
While that shift is expected, anticipated and even welcomed (I honestly want the best for my friends), it's not easy or fun. And until that shift is necessary due to formal nuptials, I don't want it to come early. I want to remain a priority in my friends' lives until they tie the knot.
We forget that our friendships need as much time, intentionality and deliberateness as our romantic relationships. Friendships take planning, phone calls, dinner dates, sleepovers and movie marathons to keep them thriving.
In other words, they take sacrifice. The fragility of our friendships is often hidden behind strong bonds, but to guarantee their success, we have to be as diligent about them as our romantic endeavors. We have to be willing to give up a little of our free time, a little of our sleep time and a little of other-relationship time to keep our friendships strong.
Without sacrifice, friendships, like my dishes, can easily be shelved, dropped or even broken. And while I can take the teasing about being a butterfingers when it comes to dishware, friendships are a much more serious and worthwhile matter.

Have you ever had one of those weeks that makes you really re-evaluate yourself? Not a bad week per se, but just a stretch of days that really makes you think? This is obviously a rhetorical question, because if you say "no" you are a dirty, rotten liar. In which case, kindly leave. (Kidding…mostly.)
Lately, I've had a lot of time to think because I've been jobless since September and essentially left to wallow in my own subconscious, which clearly has its pros and cons. I've been known to drive myself a little crazy with my over-analyzing skills from time to time.
The past week or so, however, the time to think has certainly been a good thing. As I've watched the people and world around me change on a daily basis, I've become more and more aware of how much I am changing as a person.
Even in just the last few months I feel like I have changed. A lot.
Some people embrace change. Some people fear change. Some people are so unable to change that they spend their entire lives doing essentially the same thing all day every day.
No matter how much or how little your day to day life shifts over time, there is one thing that will remain constant: your relationships. Not romantically, necessarily, but just the notion of surrounding yourself with certain people. The interactions within those relationships will change, and the people who you consider closest to you will likely change, but having people around you never will.
Trying to decide where you fit, and who is most important to you isn't just about deciding where you fit, but deciding who fits there with you. I've always struggled with that, because I've always struggled with forming legitimately close bonds.
Looking back, everyone can think of friendships that have stood through thick and thin, and everyone can think of friendships that have fizzled. Not by design, but just because life forces people in different directions. People change. People move on. People drift apart. It's a completely natural progression of life.
The fact is, someone you have known for six months could know you better than someone you've known for six years. Figuring out who is important in your life isn't about quantity. It is it about quantity of time, and it certainly isn't about quantity of people. Surrounding yourself with as many superficial relationships as possible isn't going to make you happy. And spending your time with people you've known forever isn't going to make you happy if that is the only reason you still hang out. Quantity doesn't matter.
It's all about quality. The people you know, trust and respect. The people who know you the best.
As I sit here thinking about the people in my life, I can't help but think of a quote from an essay by Mary Schmich that was turned into the song "Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen" by Baz Luhrman: "friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on."
The key is deciding who those precious few are, and realizing it isn't just how long you've known them, but how well.
By Nicolle
In seventh grade, a good friend of mine rolled into our first hour science class with her hair in butterfly clips (you remember those multi-colored hair clips that came in different colors and were overused by moms as well as teenage girls?). Now, this was not the "normal" way to wear butterfly clips (read: hair parted down the middle, one clip on each side). No, she'd taken it to a whole new level, with her hair in a ponytail, separated into eight pieces, all held to her scalp by a rainbow of butterfly clips. This resulted in her looking like she had spikes coming from eight angles of her head.
It was not a pretty picture, for anyone, let alone an awkward seventh-grade girl. So, when she asked me what I thought of her "cool new hair-do," what exactly was I supposed to say?
"Well, I probably wouldn't wear my hair like that," I told her as I desperately looked for something about the 'do that I could compliment. "But I like that you used four different colors of clips."
That comment started a minor seventh-grade feud between my friend and I. She didn't take my comment as well as I'd hoped, and I couldn't justify lying to her, even to make her feel better. I was supposed to be her friend – I was the one who should be most able and willing to tell her the truth.
But that's not always the case with our best friends. Often we count on those closest to us to back us up, to take our sides, to blindly support us, no matter what conclusion we come to. We inadvertently ask the people we consider our "besties" to lie to us.
An acquaintance of mine got married this summer, despite the fact that a few of her closest friends questioned her relationship. She even outright told one friend that she didn't want any more questions about why she was getting married, what she loved about her fiancé or what steps they were taking to ensure their commitment would indeed last; she preferred only what she deemed "supportive, encouraging words" instead.
Though the "if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all" adage seems like good advice, blatantly asking friends to keep their concerns to themselves is romantic relationship suicide. Our friends know us best – they've likely seen us at our worst, our most selfish, our most arrogant, our greediest, our most unkind. And they're still our friends. Once we get to a place where we don't actually want their honest opinions, maybe it's because we know we're doing something wrong.
It doesn't have to be that blatant either. The same principle applies when we get defensive at friends who are kind enough to tell us the truth. Our reaction (ranging from quiet, passive frustration to blinding anger, both of which can result in broken friendships) can inadvertently tell our friends to stop being truthful with us. Though we want unquestioned support from our besties when we complain that our significant others don't show us enough affection, maybe what we need is for a true friend to ask us hard questions about why we think we're not getting enough cuddle time. In most situations, we can assume some responsibility for relationship troubles and our friends should be able to tell us when we're the ones with the issue.
When we ask others to conceal the truth, we're stripping them of friend duties. It's their place to call us on our stuff – it's their place to tell us when we're full of it. And if we don't, it's detrimental to ourselves. If we encourage them to lie to us, we encourage ourselves to not see what's really going on in a situation. If we get defensive when our friends gently tell us that maybe we were too controlling, maybe we shouldn't have cheated or maybe we should assume some responsibility for that break-up, we're telling them that what matters most to us is how things appear, not how things really are.
And as ugly as things really are, the truth is what we need. Because, unlike multi-colored butterfly clips, a reality-check will never go out of style.


text: Back in February, a Texas forensic scientist announced that she'd identified a DNA sample from Bigfoot and had sequenced the creature's genome. Now the sequences have been released for wider scrutiny and Ars Technica's John Timmer had a chance to dig into the data and speak with the discoverer of the possible Bigfoot genome. This is a story that, I think, everybody can enjoy — a skeptical analysis that's respectful to the Bigfoot researchers and genuinely interested in understanding where the DNA in question came from and what the genome sequences can tell us.

Curated by Jan Corey Helford, this past May 15th marked the opening of the "Art From the New World" group exhibition at the Bristol City Museum & Art Gallery. This show will run until August 22nd, but for those of us that aren't able to see it in person, we now have some images of the art and even behind the scenes photos of the preparation and build up to opening day (see here).
Last year the Bristol City Museum featured the works of Banksy, and during the course of the exhibition over 300,000 visited the museum. Now for the "Art From the New World" show, there have been over 5,000 visitors in the first 6 days of the opening. This is not only a very exciting show, but an important one for the future of the art we love so much. Originally referred to as a scene filled with "illustrators", this art is now gaining more momentum than ever. Museums are taking notice, and the fan-base is becoming larger than ever. There is some amazing work in this show, from artists such as Kent Williams, David Stoupakis, Joe Sorren, Brandi Milne, Buff Monster, Camille Rose Garcia, Dave Kinsey, Travis Louie, Mercedes Helnwein, Ray Ceasar, Sas Christian, Melissa Forman, Jason Shawn Alexander, Dave Cooper, Liz McGrath, Mike Stilkey, Gary Baseman, Craola, Luke Chueh, Coop, Natalia Fabia, Chris Anthony, AJ Fosik, Joe Ledbetter, Todd Schorr, Van Arno, Martin Wittfooth, Josh Agle, Lola, Sylvia Ji, Marion Peck, Mark Ryden and many more. How is that for a lineup? I really wish this show was going to travel and come to some museums here in the states. Take a look at the preview images here, and then head over for the full preview.

San Antonio is home to three of the nation's top public high schools, according to Newsweek's annual list published this week.
Northside Independent School District's Communications Arts High School ranked 80 on the list of 500 schools. Northside's Health Careers High took the 142nd slot. North East Independent School District's Reagan High was ranked 228.
The magazine analyzed more than 1,100 schools using six criteria: graduation rate, college matriculation rate, Advanced Placement tests taken per graduate, average SAT/ACT scores, average AP/International Baccalaureate scores and AP courses offered per graduate.
The magazine lists all three local schools as having very high graduation and college bound rates.
The top ranked school in the nation was the School of Science and Engineering Magnet in Dallas.

Serious Money is perhaps Caryl Churchill's most notorious play, providing a savage breathless indictment of high finance and its greedy, cut-throat culture.
The play is a satirical study of the effects of the 'Big Bang' (the deregulation of the financial markets in 1986), written in high-speed, jargon-laced, profanity-scattered rhyming couplets, and interspersed with musical numbers. Churchill's script sprints across the trading floor of the London International Financial Futures and Options Exchange, following the machinations of an attempted corporate takeover, and the aftermath of the mysterious death of an underground trader. Though written in response to specific events, Churchill opens the play with an extract from a seventeenth century comedy about stock jobbers – little has changed, she suggests, and little will. Since its premiere at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 1987 it has prompted city financiers worldwide both to applaud and decry its presentation of their lives.

Rubber fabric pipes RTG are used in underground cavities in mines for transferring compressed air, contaminated water, water mixtures including backfill mixtures which contain sand or any other small pieces.
The outside layer, responsible for pipes' durability, is made of textile liners submerged with flame resistant and antistatic rubber.
There is an abrasion resistant layer inside the pipes. It protects the pipes from wearing resulting from the action of mineral particles present in the water mixtures.
Pipes can be used in the building of:
Due to the use of loose flanges, the same ones as in steel pipes, the pipes are compatible with typical steel pipelines. Thanks to their flexibility and lightness pipes are very mobile products for an easy, fast and comfortable transport and assembly.
There are five types of pipes with the following operating pressures:
The pipes have the authorization to be used in underground cavities.

War on Children at Home and Abroad: From US Labor Policy to Illegal Detention and Opposition to Breastfeeding
Introduction: Child Exploitation under Neoliberalism Most people would agree that the manner a society treats children is a reflection of its values and moral standards. This was as true of the Golden Age of 5th century Athens as it is of 21st century America.

At a small gathering last night for some friends of Desiring God, I met a dear saint who had a sister with Prader-Willi syndrome. Her sister died at age 35, many years ago.
Here are a few quotes:
"It is entirely a grace that mom and dad stayed married."
"I'm glad I've forgotten so many stories from those days. It was terribly difficult."
It was obvious as we spoke that those days were hard on her whole family. And equally obvious that she embraces God as sovereign and good over all things. I was greatly encouraged. We should not hesitate to speak "as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing."
And she left me with this happy statement:
"I want many copies of the book (Just the Way I Am)!"
So do I, dear sister! Lord willing, just a few more weeks to go.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The Pittsburgh Penguins have recalled rookie winger Beau Bennett from their AHL affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
The team made the announcement on their official website, Sunday afternoon.
Bennett has played in 19 games with the Penguins and has recorded two goals and seven assists. His first NHL goal came during a 5-on-3 power play against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Feb. 24. The goal was set up by Sidney Crosby.
With the Baby Pens, Bennett has seven goals and 21 assists in 39 games this season. On Friday, Bennett set up Alex Grant for the game-winning goal in overtime against the Adirondack Phantoms.
The Penguins will be back in action Tuesday night when they begin a three-game road trip in Carolina.

Another major win for Unity.
Unity continues to grow into a more and more important and major player in the gaming industry- especially since its middleware solution, Unity, is currently the go to choice for most developers making games on mobile devices, or smaller games on consoles and handhelds- which is the largest subset of game development as a whole.
As a result, it continues to attract a lot of talent. The latest example of this is Mike Capps, the former president of epic Games and one of the most important men involved with Unreal Engine (the industry standard for middleware), who has joined Unity's team as an internal advisor.
"Dr. Mike Capps will be joining Unity Technologies as an advisor to me, our exec team and to our core R&D team," Unity's John Riccitiello wrote on the Unity blog.
"Many of you are familiar with Mike. He's been one of the most important names in games and game technology for well over a decade. His knowledge and experience with engines is phenomenal and it's incredible to have him on our team."
"I'm excited to join the team as Advisor to the CEO, and I can't wait to help shape Unity's next chapter," Mike Capps said.
"As I've spent time with John, Joachim, and other smart Unity folks, I've been so impressed with their excitement, optimism, and commitment to the democratization of game technology. I was surprised to be invited to speak at the Unity 5 launch, but was happy to do so, because the message was one I believe in strongly: better tools, more easily available, will lead to more and better games.
"Unity is in such an enviable position in the industry. I see so much exciting potential, and opportunities where I might be able to help, that this role was a logical next step. I'll do my best to advise John and the leadership team to keep Unity's tools driving innovation and creative self-expression in ways we can't even imagine."
This is a major win for Unity, and should help it make even more inroads into the industry.

Webzen has officially launched European and North American servers for MMO Archlord, picking up where Codemasters left off and delivering a brand new Swashbuckler character class to the West in the process.
As we reported in September, long-time Archlord North American and European operator Codemasters had lost the rights to run the game, with South Korean publisher Webzen taking over the reins this month. Now the North American and European servers are live, and Webzen is accepting pre-registration for transfers from the Codemasters servers to their own, with in-game cash being offered as an incentive for making the move. Codemasters players can visit Webzen's Archlord home page for details on making the move.
Sweetening the deal for Western players is the introduction of the new Swashbuckler character class, a close-quarters female fighter sporting bunny ears, as seen in the picture here. All this, plus a bunny girl? I, for one, welcome our new South Korean overlords.

Ultra Colloidal Chromium/Vanadium 16 oz.
"Metabolift"Ultra Colloidal Chromium/Vanadium 50 ppm 16 oz.
Colloidal "METABOLIFT" is a combination of Vanadium and Chromium created in a proportion that naturally exists according to their respective concentration that naturally occur in the human body:
Vanadium is a biologically important trace mineral that is essential for normal cell function and development. Vanadium has been shown to help maintain blood-sugar levels that are in the normal range by its insulin-like effects in the liver, skeletal muscle and adipose (fat that surrounds our organs) tissue.
Vanadium regulates the circulatory system, helps prevent excessive cholesterol deposits in blood vessels and cholesterol build-up in the central nervous system.
Chromium is an essential nutrient required for normal sugar and fat metabolism. It potentates the action of insulin. This mineral occurs throughout the body with highest concentrations in the liver, kidney, spleen and bone.
Chromium works with insulin in the metabolism of sugar and stabilizes blood sugar levels; cleans the arteries by reducing Cholesterol & Triglyceride levels; helps transport amino acids to where the body needs them; helps control the appetite.
Medical research has shown that persons with low levels of Chromium in their bodies are more susceptible to having cancer and heart problems and becoming diabetic..
In 1985 the Vancouver Medical school declared that vanadium alone could replace insulin for adult onset diabetics and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
In addition Chromium and Vanadium may be helpful for:
• Gaining energy, burning fat, and building muscle
• Improving the uptake of glucose
• Cholesterol and atherosclerosis fighter
• Better blood circulation and maintenance of blood sugar level
• It assists the body in losing weight by helping it to build muscle to replace fat.

The CML said that interest repayments swallowed up 20.6% of first-time buyers' monthly incomes.
That was up from 20.4% in September and the highest level since 1991.
Meanwhile, Conservative leader David Cameron is asking banks to do more to help householders avoid repossession when their fixed-rate mortgages end.
Mr Cameron wants the industry to take a more sympathetic attitude to borrowers who get into arrears, and to plan now to deal with an expected flood of home owners who might be facing repossession.
Repossession fears
The worry is that higher mortgage rates could lead to more repossessions, as a wave of fixed-rate deals come to an end and mortgage lenders boost their rates.
Gary Murphy, a partner in the auctioneers Allsop, says that among the properties they auction, the number of repossessions has risen from 25% to 50% during the past year.
The industry thinks that repossessions will rise by 50%, with 30,000 repossessions by the end of the year.
Michael Coogan, director-general of the CML, said that people in difficulty with their mortgages should contact their lenders without delay.
He told the BBC that it might be possible in some cases to extend their terms, and that no one in the industry wanted to repossess if it could be avoided.
Housing downturn
The CML said that although total mortgage lending held up in October, it expected a downturn in the coming months because of the credit crunch.
"October is the last month we expect lending volumes to be higher than a year ago as lenders and borrowers will behave more cautiously in an uncertain and slowing market environment," said the CML's director general Michael Coogan.
"Lenders have already responded to the credit squeeze by tightening lending criteria and increasing some loan costs," he added.
"However, overall, in the coming months we expect the lending figures to be driven more by supply factors rather than lower consumer demand."
Home movers are also being increasingly squeezed.
They saw 17.6% of their incomes consumed by mortgage interest payments, the CML said, up from 17.5% in September and the highest proportion since 1992.
Liquidity crunch
Earlier this month the CML warned that unless interest rates were cut soon to ease the liquidity crisis in the financial markets, then lenders would not be able to fund half their expected mortgage lending next year.
Since then the Bank of England has cut interest rates to 5.5% from 5.75%, with more cuts widely expected.
"For those customers coming to the end of their fixed-rate mortgage in 2008, the potential impact of higher monthly payments will be diminished by the fall in bank rate this month and other rate reductions to come early in the New Year," said Mr Coogan.
The past few months have already seen a sudden slump in the number of new mortgages for house purchases being approved by banks and building societies.
As a result, in October, these loans made up just 39% of all loans secured on residential property, the lowest proportion for nearly three years.
But David Stubbs of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors said: "Significantly, the combination of stagnating house prices and lower mortgage rates in 2008 should boost affordability for the first time since 2001."
"Many would-be first-time buyers, who will have been unable to access the housing market in recent years, will see this as an opportunity to get their first step on the ladder," he added."

|Home > Economic and environmental assessment of alternative production methods for composite aircraft components
The use of carbon fibre reinforced plastics is steadily increasing in the aerospace industry as rising fuel costs and concerns over the environment push airframe manufacturers to improve aircraft efficiency. The high costs associated with manufacturing carbon fibre reinforced components in autoclaves have prompted interest in alternative out-of-autoclave processing methods. In this study a combined cost modelling and life-cycle assessment approach is applied to selected out-of-autoclave production scenarios. Out-of-autoclave specific "prepregs" and resin infused fabrics are cured in thermal and microwave ovens of comparable volume and assessed against a benchmark autoclave scenario. Results showed that materials, in particular carbon fibres, contributed most significantly to component cost and environmental impacts. Resin infusion processes were effective at reducing costs, as reinforcement fabrics and resin were less expensive. Due to the small contribution of energy to total cost, reductions in energy use did not lead to significant savings, although they did improve the environmental performance of the manufacturing process. Out-of-autoclave specific prepregs did not perform as well due to their higher costs, longer associated cycle times and the need for lengthy de-bulking operations. Microwave oven curing offered little in terms of cost reduction and environmental improvement as investment costs were comparable to those of an autoclave, and energy consumption was relatively high compared with traditional thermal oven use. Opportunities for improvement exist if investment costs can be reduced and additional work carried out to promote more efficient transfer of energy. Improvement of the carbon fibre production process would be the most effective approach for reducing impacts and costs from carbon fibre components. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Here is the new Aston Villa shirt and kit for 2015/16. The new strip is again made by Macron and the home kit sponsors are 'Intuit Quickbooks'.
The new 2015-16 Aston Villa Home Kit draws inspiration from the classic designs of previous strips.
The new home shirt features the famous claret and blue colours and comes with a collared neck and the roaring lion crest on the chest. The shirt also includes 'Villans' detail to the back of the neck.
The kit is completed with traditional white shorts with claret and sky blue detail and sky blue socks with claret hoops as you can see in the pictures.
Early reaction to the new home strip seems to be largely positive and we can't see many Villa fans being offended by the kit.

Marchant calculators: From pinwheel to SCM
The Marchant 1911 model was a derivative of the Odhner pinwheel design, with controls the same, but adding a crank for clearing the added number register.
Willgodt T. Odhner, St. Petersburg, Russia, invented his calculator in 1874 and died in 1905. The 1917 Russian Revolution caused manufacture of the Odhner machine to go to Sweden, initiated by Willgodt's sons, Alexander and George, and his nephew, Valentine Odhner. (See "Tiny calculator is of European homage") Marchant's first two models were the "Pony" and the "Standard." In 1923 Marchant stopped using the Odhner pin-wheel mechanism in 1923 and used a proportional wheel mechanism. (To see how the calculators worked, click here).
Calculators from two locations
"As I look back on my years with the Marchant Calculating Machine Company, I look at the best working years of my life," Jorgenson said. "We were out on our own, no one 'breathing down our neck,' and the paycheck was always in the P.O. Box on Saturday morning. We had a great product in the Marchant Electro-Mechanical Calculator.
Jorgenson started working for Marchant in Eugene, Ore. "The early Marchants such as the XL - EEG9,s - Pony Models were produced from the early part of the century until the early 1930's," Jorgenson said. "It is my understanding that the first 'Silent Speed' machine entered production in 1932, that would be the 8D's - 8M's, - CR8M - ACR8M - ACTOM.. Manufacturing of the FA Figuremaster-Figurematic line began in about 1948. These machines were painted with green on the side/front and back covers with a gray carriage cover."
It was on-the-job training at a training school in Pittsburgh,Pa. Later, there were training centers in Oakland and Columbia, S.C., Jorgenson said. He was soon transferred to the Salem, Ore., Branch, where he said he learned to repair the machines. Then 18 months later, he was transferred to his current town, Lewiston, Idaho, where he established a new office and become the service supervisor. He serviced and sold Marchants in Lewiston, and during his tenure, Marchant released a number of new models in the Figurematic and Figuremaster lines.
Ten Key Matic machine
"In 1958, Marchant merged with Smith Corona to form the SCM Corporation," Jorgenson said. "the SCM logo would soon appear on paint cans, home appliances and food items, as well as their office products lines."
SCM also acquired the Allied Paper company and release the Model 55 electro-static liquid copy machine built in Skoie, Illinois. In 1963, Marchant moved the calculator factory from Oakland Calif., to Orangeburg, S.C. During this time they released the suchsModels as the CMF - CM - CDF - CD and SKwith new, more modern tan covers, such Models as the CMF, CM, CDF, CD and SK. The new line was called "model consolidation."
"The machines shipped from the Orangeburg plant fell short of the standards we came to expect from Oakland," Jorgenson said. "I clearly recall receiving machines with spare parts enclosed in the shipping carton with instruction to replace these parts before selling the machine."
On Thursday, October 11, 1973, Jorgenson received a call from the San Francisco District Sales Office instructing him to be in San Francisco on Friday morning, Oct. 12. "When I arrived at the hotel Thursday night, all the managers from the West Coast were there. We were sure what we all expected was about to come true, and it did. At a meeting on Friday we were all dismissed with 2 weeks pay, and so ended 23 years of service. They did however, for a short time, continue to operated their branch offices while trying to build a dealer organization."
Editor's Note: The Nasdaq stock exchange recently notified Smith Corona that the office equipment supplier no longer meets its financial requirements and will not be traded on the exchange. It is not the first such action. After a Smith-Corona bankruptcy in the mid-90s devalued the stock, the New York Stock Exchange had dropped the stock from its listing after Smith Corona's bankruptcy reorganization plan proposed making the stock worthless. The company has about 50 workers.

If you wish to contact Ernie Jorgenson, contact him at Office Machine Americana, P.O. Box 1161, Lewiston, Idaho 83501, tel. (208) 746-8325, or e-mail him at email@example.com.

Revision as of 14:10, 27 December 2016
Malcolm Everard MacLaren Pearson, Baron Pearson of Rannoch (born 20 July 1942) is a businessman and UKIP member of the House of Lords.
Educated at Eton College, Pearson is chairman of the Pearson Webb Springbett (PWS) Group of reinsurance brokers, which he founded in 1964. He was made a life peer on 18 June 1990 as Baron Pearson of Rannoch, of Bridge of Gaur in the District of Perth and Kinross, sitting as a Conservative.
Pearson is a eurosceptic of long standing. [1] In May 2004, he called for voters to back the UK Independence Party (UKIP). Along with three other Conservative peers, he was then expelled by the Conservative Party on 30 May. He subsequently said that he would probably sit as an "independent Conservative". He threatened to quit the Tories to join UKIP, which he did on 7 January 2007[2], along with Leopold Verney, (21st Baron Willoughby de Broke)[3] He criticised the Tory party's leadership for being "silly" and argued that they should try to get UKIP members back into the fold by adopting more anti-European Union policies themselves. He has tabled a number of unsuccessful Private Member's Bills in the House of Lords demanding Britain's immediate withdrawal from the European Union. In November 2006 he tabled the European Union (Implications of Withdrawal) Bill 2006-07 [4]which calls for the establishment of a Committee of Inquiry into the implications of UK withdrawal from the European Union. Also, he joined the United Kingdom Independence Party sometime afterwards, citing David Cameron's refusal to tell the British people about the disadvantages they suffer because Britain is a member of the EU.
Think tank
He is one of the co-founders of an anti-EU think-tank, Global Britain, which has campaigned against alleged pro-EU bias at the BBC. [5] Others include UKIP donor Patrick Barbour.
He is a strong supporter of the pro-hunting Countryside Alliance, serving as chairman of its deerstalking committee.
Counterjihad links
Geert Wilders controversy
In February 2009, Baron Pearson further courted controversy when he and right-wing cross-bencher Baroness Cox invited Dutch Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders to show the anti-Islam film Fitna before the House of Lords[6]. However, Wilders was prevented from entering the UK on the instructions of Home Secretary Jacqui Smith. [7] In response, Pearson and Cox accused the Government of "appeasing" militant Islam. [8]Geert Wilders appealed successfully against his exclusion, and the film was eventually shown in the Lords in 2010. [9]
ICLA conference
Pearson attended the 2009 Washington D.C. conference 'International Legal Conference on Freedom of Speech and Religion', organised by the International Civil Liberties Alliance (ICLA), a prominent organisation in the counterjihad movement. Well-known American anti-Muslim activists Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer, who were later banned from entering the UK by the Home Secretary, also attended.[10]
Defeat Jihad Summit 2015
Lord Pearson was invited to speak at the 'Defeat Jihad' summit on 10th February 2015, organised by Frank Gaffney's CSP. Speakers at the summit also included Ted Cruz, several Republican Congressman, IFPS chair Lars Hedegaard, and de facto representatives of far-right European parties in the European Parliament such as the PVV's Geert Wilders. The summit gathered together many of the same figures it had hosted in 2009. Of the summit, Nafeez Ahmed wrote:
- 'The consolidation of trans-Atlantic ties between US self-styled counterjihadists, European neo-Nazis and Kremlin neo-fascists is thus part of a mutual effort to leverage the reigns of government across the US and Europe.' [9] Nafeez Ahmed, A Fourth Reich is rising across Europe — with ties to Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, Medium, June 22 2016. Accessed 05 October 2016. </ref>
Parliamentary questions
In December 2015:
On Islam and Muslim communities in the UK
- 7 December - To ask Her Majesty's Government whether, as part of their counter-terrorism strategy, they will encourage a national debate about the nature of Islam, including whether the Muslim tenets of Al Hijra, Taqiya, and Abrogation remain valid today.
- 7 December - To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the reply by Earl Howe on 2 December (HL Deb, col 1193), what actions will be criminalised from next April under the specific offence of anti-Muslim hatred, and whether the actions criminalised under that offence will include (1) criticism of the Muslim religion, and (2) statements from people who have left that religion explaining why they have done so.
- 2 December - Written question to the Home Office, asked by Lord Pearson of Rannoch, Asked on: 02 December 2015H (Status: withdrawn)
- To ask Her Majesty's Government whether, as part of their anti-terrorism strategy, they will encourage leaders of the UK's Muslim communities to identify, confront and expose their violent co-religionists. [11]
- 12 December 2016: 'Encouraging UK Muslim leaders to re-examine the Muslim tenet of abrogation'. [12]
- 'To ask Her Majesty's Government whether, as part of their strategy against Islamic terrorism, they will encourage United Kingdom Muslim leaders to re-examine the Muslim tenet of abrogation.'
- 'My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness for that reply, which was helpful as far as it went. I should explain that Islamic abrogation holds that the Koran's later, violent verses, of which there are many, take precedence over the earlier, peaceful verses, and so it lends support to the jihadists. Have the Government noticed that we can say what we like about any other religion, but we get...' [13]
Personal life
Pearson has been married three times: to Francesca Frua de Angeli in 1965, with whom he had one daughter and divorced 1970; to the Hon. Mary Charteris in 1977, with whom he had two daughters and divorced 1995; and to Caroline St Vincent Rose in 1997.

Dear Colleagues,
We would like to bring to your attention the following EMBO/CNRS summer school that we are organizing September 11-21 2018 in beautiful Cargèse (Corsica – http://www.iesc.univ-corse.fr/index.php?id=1&L=0), and would be grateful if you could share the poster and link with your young colleagues.
The objective of this summer school is to help biologists grasp basic concepts of Physics applied to Biology, such that they could more easily interact with physicists and design their experiments with physics concepts in mind. To help reach this objective, we have planned the programme along three lines:
1/ Some invited speakers will give tutorials to introduce key concepts or tools of physics and mathematics useful to biology.
2/ Almost all invited speakers are coming as pairs of biologists and physicists who have collaborated in the recent past to address a common biological problem; they will share how their collaboration unfolded and which obstacle they had to sometimes to overcome.
3/ In addition, there will be two prestigious Company of Biologists-sponsored keynote speakers, Jacques Prost a father of Physics applied to Biology, and Eric Wieschaus, Noble Prize in Medicine for his contributions to Drosophila development.
Additional info can be found on the following links:
The price for the course will be 850€ (including accommodation, breakfast and lunch). Please note that the deadline for applying is June 1st 2018.
We thank you in avance for making your colleagues aware of the event, and apologize in advance if you receive this mail more than once.
With best wishes,
Michel Labouesse and François Robin

She is calm and truly help the kids achieve self confidence in themselves. She is both a wonderful and inspiring teacher/turor and a great yoga instructor. Both of my kids (7 and 4) had yoga classes with her and they love her! She has been one of the best teachers my son had in school!
When I was looking for a fun and original idea for my 7years old daughter's birthday party, I knew that Leanne's Yoga class would be the best idea! She is a teacher and can handle young kids in any setting and her modern and intelligent approach to yoga not only makes kids move but it makes them think and feel!!!!
Abigail was able to choose a theme and Leanne thought of every detail. We were all so happy with the result! A fun and meaningful birthday for Abigail and her friends who all enjoyed learning about yoga through laughter! Thank you
A few years ago Leanne was my daughter's tutor. She used her knowledge, imagination and talent to teach her reading techniques, basic math skills as well as instilling confidence while thinking outside the box. Her learning improved and my daughter had all the tools and confidence to be successful. Thank you Leanne for sharing your power of knowledge.

The Proper Fax Formatby Kathryn VercilloUpdated September 26, 2017
A fax, also known as a facsimile, is an electronic transmission of a scanned paper document. The document being sent can be of any format, but it must always be accompanied beforehand with a fax cover sheet. The formatting of this fax cover sheet can vary slightly, but there are a few essential elements that should always be included.
Essential Elements
Certain items should always be included in the fax cover letter, such as the recipient's name, the number of pages being faxed, including the cover letter, and the date. Also include your name, fax number and phone number.
Other Standard Elements
Other items that are nonessential but can be included on your fax cover sheets are the recipient's contact information, the subject of the fax and any notes that you have for the recipient. You may also include additional sender information, such as your business name or website's URL.
Use a Standard Sample Format
Use a standard format when you send a fax cover letter, and templates are available on nearly all word-processing programs. A common format is to list the recipient's name, fax and phone on the left side and the sender's name, fax and phone on the right side, with the additional elements beneath these two sections.

Skip to 0 minutes and 1 secondThe refrigerator or air conditioner is a machine designed to remove heat from the low temperature side and pump it to the high temperature side by doing some work on it. So the coefficient of performance, the efficiency is ouput divided by input. Here the input is the work provided, and the output is the extracted heat QL. Here is an example. We have a freezer at temperature of -20 degree celcius and the outside is 30 degree celcius. Heat is extracted from the low temperature side. We can schematically represent the freezer like this. When we take the machine as our system as before, the relationship between QH, QL and W is the same as before for the heat engine.
Skip to 0 minutes and 54 secondsSo the coefficient of performance, is TL over (TH-TL). For this specific cases between -20 degree and 30 degree, the coefficient of performance is 5.06. So QL is 5.06 times W provided. What does that mean? We can extract the heat more than the work we provided. Heat pump operates similar to refrigerator, but the purpose of heat pump is to deliver heat to high temperature side. Therefore, the efficiency is defined differently. Output here is the heat delivered to the high temperature side the -QH, and the input is the work provided. So the efficiency is TH over (TH-TL). If it operates between -20 degree and 30 degree, the efficiency is 6.06. It is a highly efficient method to heat up a room.
Refrigerators and heat pumps
Refrigerator and heat pump extract heat from the low temperature side, release heat to the high temperature side by doing work on the machine.
Depending on the purpose of the machine, the coefficient of performance is defined differently. Surprisingly, we can extract heat more than the work we added. That is the marvel of thermodynamic laws.

How long have you been coming to the barre?
I started in September 2012. I still remember my first class with Stacy – I loved it from day one!
How did you first find us?
I was looking for something different in my work out routine and I had heard about barre classes. I was a dancer and loved ballet when I was younger so the barre work out sounded like something I might enjoy. I started searching and found The Barre in Wayzata. I tried a class and a month unlimited. I quickly fell in love with the studio, classes, other clients and staff. There is always such a warm and inviting atmosphere.
What changes in your mind and body have you noticed most?
I feel more lean and toned. I have more flexibility. I love that it never gets easier. I feel mentally and physically challenged with each class and always leave feeling great.
How do you fit barre into your busy schedule?
I work full time and have 3 kids so I try to fit classes in early morning or evening and on the weekends. All of the instructors are amazing and I know any time I come I'm going to have a great work out.
What is your favorite class time?
I enjoy all times but have really started to love the 6am classes in Edina with Kristen and Kalli. They are both very motivating and it feels great to be done by 7am. It gives me energy for the rest of my day! Both studios are great. I really love being at the Wayzata studio and looking out at the beatiful lake – helps take my mind off of the pain!
Favorite barre move?
I don't think that I have one favorite. I love/hate the thigh series. It is so hard but you feel so good when it's done. I think the seat series are my favorite part of class. You really have to focus and concentrate. I love the results!
