Summer means flip-flops, shorts, and breezy t-shirts- unless it's your workday. If you're waking up wondering how to adapt your work clothes to meet the heat, a few wardrobe tweaks are all you need to do to keep cool without going too casual. These five items top our list of the summer workplace wardrobe essentials, and a DRES certified stylist can help you select the right color and style of each to ensure you always look your personal best.
Sleeveless Tanks
Fifty years ago, classy women called these 'shells,' and using that term really draws the line between the casual summer tank and the workday tank that you wear for getting elbow deep in hard work. Many are embellished with lace or graphic designs.
Cap Sleeve Cardigans
Thin sweaters that cover your shoulders, cap sleeve cardigans are a great way to keep cool and still retain professionalism. You can wear these open or just do the top button over a nice tank and be considered good to go.
If you've ever ended a summer day by taking off your pants and noticing that your waistband was a bit moist from sweating, removing that waistband from your wardrobe will help your body cool itself more efficiently. Dresses should be sleeveless or short-sleeved, to avoid the too-casual look of spaghetti straps. The DRES dress is made out of a lightweight and breathable bamboo cotton blend.
A-line skirts
Straight skirts are wonderful in the cooler months, when hose prevents our thighs from rubbing against each other. However, many women choose to go bare-legged in the hotter months, and the close confines of a straight skirt captures more body heat, especially where the thighs touch. The A-line skirt provides more room on those hot days, keeping us cool and comfortable.
Ankle Pants
If you aren't a skirt person, these slightly cropped pants can do wonders for you. Spend the day walking about the office with a slight breeze running about your ankles can make a huge difference in body temperature, since your body is not used to the cropped hem.
Cool Colors
Dreaming of vanilla clouds, cerulean seas, fresh dewey grass, and arctic white icebergs? Colors we associate with cold things actually make us feel cooler, and wearing those colors will help you feel cool, calm, and collected even when hundreds of miles separate you from the ocean shores.

If you know of Elizabeth's work, you know that she can get extremely creative with her palette and create a beautiful painting. She often will create a series by starting with a natural depiction of a landscape and then asking herself "What if....?" Elizabeth encouraged us to take one of our own landscapes and ask "What if...?" by changing our own palettes. Rather than creating one resolved painting with a different palette, I decided to do lots of different studies. Color is an aspect of painting that is always challenging for me, so I wanted to just loosen up, try lots of things, and see what would happen. Here is what happened:
I had tons of fun doing this exercise, and I think it is one I will continue, even for other subject matter. The study in the upper right is unfinished in this photo. I finished it on the last day of class (yesterday), but haven't photographed it yet. I am still on the road, and since it is rainy out, I do not want to take a pastel painting out the car today to get another photograph.
I do plan to try to sum up the workshop in another post, probably when I'm back home. I'll have plenty of time while I am traveling to think of how to convey this experience in writing.
Hope you are well, Watchers!

John Enright is the leading financial planning industry process expert for teaching advisors how to work less, make more and have greater client impact.
Syracuse, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/16/2012 -- What came first, the chicken or the egg? For financial advisors it's what came first, the clients or the marketing? John Enright, founder of the 7 Figure Advisor System , says, "In the beginning of a planners career it's the marketing…the more people they see, typically, the more successful they are in their career.
There comes a tipping point when an advisors practice begins to mature and more marketing doesn't solve everything." Enright believes that many successful financial advisors shift from always marketing to systematizing their current practices by creating processes and checklists. The systems in turn make it easy for the advisor to create unique and meaningful experiences for their clients. They are more organized, they drop the ball less and they are better prepared to serve the needs of their clients because they have thought through all of the day to day operations and client interactions.
Bruce Charelton, Private Wealth Advisor from Rochester, NY said, "I choose to use John's system because it's scalable and repeatable and it's in my opinion in the best interest of my clients. It's going to allow me to do a thorough job. It's going to allow me not to miss anything because of the checklist provisions and if you want to make sure you do it right the first time, I think this is the way to do it."
The fact that the advisor and his or her team delivers a unique client experience with a consistent and personalized service model will set them apart from others. Advisors able to make that distinction for clients are often rewarded in many ways, including receiving more introductions and referrals. "As the advisor's practice continues to grow they'll find that they will attract new clients faster by over delivering to their existing clients and teaching them how to share their experience with others than they ever will by investing in the latest marketing idea. Nurturing the relationships and serving current clients is the key to sustaining long-term growth", exclaims Enright.
At a recent 7 Figure Advisor training, Steve Dold , a paraplanner from a substantial practice in Indiana said, "Coming here, I'm seeing the solutions that John has put together, on having everything ready to go for our team and to see the logical flow of all of the day to day activities put in a very step by step process; and how that will duplicate our efforts and create ease in the back office is incredibly exciting. Hours and hours and hours of time have been going into our team trying to figure out solutions and John has already spent years developing a system that has got it all ready to go."
John Enright is hosting a tele-seminar Thursday October 18, 2012at 11:30am in which he will be sharing many of his ideas and the wisdom he has acquired over the last ten years when he began moving from marketing to systematizing his practice. There were mistakes that John made when he began to add systems to his practice that he will be talking about in an effort to help other advisors avoid those same mistakes.

There is a lot of talk about the future of Obamacare. Many fear the exchanges are in a death spiral and, if left to current market forces, will eventually implode. Guaranteed issue laws and a weak individual mandate, among other ACA regulations, set insurers up for potential large losses, which is why many large national carriers are simply opting out. And while it is true that you can't provide affordable guaranteed coverage for anyone at any time without getting the healthy to join in and spread the costs, even if that "basic math" gets worked out in Washington, we still have the issue of continually escalating underlying health care costs.
While many would see this current healthcare situation as hopeless, I see an opportunity for a subset of insurers to step in and not only survive, but thrive in the exchange environment. I argue that having a provider-owned health plan in every exchange market would not only help to stabilize the exchanges, but also significantly influence the future delivery of health insurance in this country for the better.
Consider these three thoughts:
- The individual consumer is increasingly becoming the insurance purchaser and they typically don't buy an insurance company, they buy a provider network.
- Providers in the community deliver emergency health care needs for all even if a segment of the population lacks health insurance.
- Lowering the cost of care is most easily accomplished when you own the major cost center, the hospital.
Because of these dynamics, provider-owned health plans are in a unique position to create products that capture the value of lower cost through much needed improvements in health care management and delivery.
The rise of the individual health insurance consumer
In the simplest terms, the role of the health insurance company is to negotiate deals with healthcare providers and charge their customers premiums to be able to cover services delivered by providers. And if all goes well, they keep a little of the premium for themselves.
The employer group market has been the primary insurance vehicle for working adults and their dependents in this country. Successful insurance products have been driven by broad choice of provider and ease of use. Since employers are trying to meet the needs of many employees, this means having every provider in the network. This ultimately means the insurer has less negotiation leverage with hospitals, so prices go up.
Whereas an employer was trying to meet the needs and desires of all employees, the individual consumer is now the decision maker."
Enter health care reform and the creation of the health exchanges. Whereas an employer was trying to meet the needs and desires of all employees, the individual consumer is now the decision maker. They no longer need a choice of providers; they only need their provider. For the price-sensitive shopper, they may accept any provider.
This new market dynamic sets the stage for the rise of the provider as insurance entity.
In the expanding individual market, a provider-owned health plan can thrive for two reasons:
- First, unlike standard insurance companies, they can capture the margin on the increased hospital volume derived from their health plan, which helps keep premiums competitive. The goal of the provider-owned health plan is the financial health of the overall system, and that is often about gaining loyal customers to ensure future volume.
- Second, since health plan and provider are one entity, they can give themselves a better deal compared to their traditional insurance company competitors, so long as they maintain adequate margins for the system.
These two points highlight why the national insurers were unwilling or unable to succeed on today's exchanges. They don't have the health delivery system to capture the margins they need when the population is sicker than expected. They may have been unable to convince a provider network to give them a great deal for their exchange-based business in a narrow network, or were not willing to upset other competing providers who they still need in their large employer networks. Finally, since a national insurer has a large portfolio of products, it makes financial sense for them to abandon the exchanges and concentrate on their more profitable lines of business. For provider-owned health plans, it is a different story.
Providers can't opt out
Consider the scenario where the health care exchanges implode and many lose their coverage. Where will the uninsured patients go when they need emergency care or cancer care? To the emergency room. And who will treat them? Their local provider network. And who will pay? Good question. This describes the system we had for the uninsured before health care reform and the exchanges. Returning to this system would be a major detriment for the provider. Providers would be back to accruing high amounts of uncompensated care and playing the collections and patient bankruptcy game. Unlike standard insurers, providers don't have the option to opt out of a market or refusing to provide care.
An alternative for providers is keeping the exchanges alive through their own health plan. It's better to receive reimbursement through up front premium dollars than to go after it through collections on the back end. If the provider is the only exchange insurer in the region, it will be guaranteed volume and so will be able to cover its costs, and maybe even earn a little margin. If there are two or more provider-owned health plans competing on the exchanges, the community benefits even more. This competition will keep each plan's premiums in check, encouraging provider networks to improve efficiencies through better care management.
Lowering the underlying cost of care
The heart of the problem with the ACA and recent iterations is that it was not about health care reform, it was about health insurance reform. Politicians were discussing who was going to pay the premium, not ways to realistically lower the premium. The only way to truly lower the premium is by lowering the underlying cost of care. I recently wrote a paper on how a health plan, such as those that are provider-owned, could create products to always encourage its members to make the best decisions in regards to where to get care, and from whom, to ensure the lowest cost. I estimated that savings of 20% or more could be achieved through some simple benefit and network changes.
A provider-owned health plan is in the best position to meaningfully lower costs because the system owns the most expensive component in the cost equation: the hospital. And, by acting as a true integrated delivery and financing system, it can pass the value of gained hospital efficiencies directly to insured members. Our firm, Axene Health Partners, helps hospital systems lower their length of stay by providing benchmarks, actionable analytics, and clinical support to help them improve their underlying processes and performance. The result is improved care management and lower cost. While the provider is investing resources to lower the cost of care, why not share this value with their community instead of a national insurer? As a provider-owned health plan, they can.
Conclusion: The future of health insurance?
While large national insurers make decisions on whether they can succeed on the individual market exchanges, providers can fill the void with products built around their own systems. In the short-term, this allows providers to serve this market while avoiding the uncompensated care issues that plagued the pre-Obamacare days. If there is coverage across the US for most citizens, provider-owned health plans could literally save the exchanges.
The long-term opportunity is even greater. As the large employer segment that dominates today's US commercial insurance market can no longer afford premiums, they will be looking for alternatives. When this happens, provider-owned health plans, already operating successfully on the exchanges, will be in prime position to offer the narrow, efficient, high quality provider networks that the employer needs.

Bialetti | Impact Pan & Pasta Pot
Instructional Product Live Production
Bialetti, the iconic brand under the parent company of Bradshaw International, is known for its line of premier cookware, bakeware, and coffee-making products. With the IHA trade show coming up again, Bialetti was looking to promote their popular pasta pot line and impact pans.
View more from this series:
The wonderful folks at Bialetti looked to highlight the popular pasta pot with it's highly-functional, beautiful aesthetic product look and feel. The challenge for our team was to communicate the versatile nature of the product within a short period of time, but also communicate it in a visual way that worked well in 3 different time formats: 60 seconds, 30 seconds, and 10 seconds. In addition to the pasta pot, we also worked to create a video of another product line, the Impact cookware line. Our goal with these were to explain Bialetti's attention to detail and craftsmanship in an over-arching attempt to engage the consumer with Bialetti's attention to high-quality.
Thanks to clear communication throughout the process, and a positive response to feedback, our team was able to successfully meet the hard deadline and complete all the videos within a short timeframe. We developed a story narrative for the pasta pot video that included a few different meal scenarios to show the versatility and functionality of the product. Our shot list included the use of a hand model, professional-grade kitchen set, overhead rig, and a food stylist. Similarly, we created a narrative for the Impact cookware to highlight its features, that included the same set up for production. Additionally, each video included motion graphic animations for text and feature spotlights for easy viewing and clear messaging.
The final products are something we are all proud of. It was great for us to work with a professional hand model and food stylist to create a compelling and memorable result for Bialetti. We are also proud to be developing our reputation as an organization who can support a company like Bialetti through the busiest months of their marketing year. We received positive feedback from Bialetti about the overall success of the videos as they have been shared via marketing campaigns and social media. But what matters even more to us, however, is that the folks at Bialettii weren't just satisfied with the final product; they enjoyed their experience working with us.

10 Creative Skills You Need to Keep Creating
Creative skills are more important today than they've ever been before. Industries of all kind are always on the lookout for creative people or creative thinkers who have creative thinking skills that will help their company shine. But creative ideas can be a dime a dozen, and it can be challenging to exhibit creative problem-solving and critical thinking skills at all times.
Whether you're a graphic designer, web designer or social media manager, it's important to brush up on new creative skills and create a robust creative skills toolbox. Here are a few essential things to help you build your creative skillset:
Time and Space
The most important creative skill you can have is patience. You need to be patient in order for ideas to come and creativity to flourish. When giving yourself time and space to declutter your mind, you will find that ideas begin to flow.
I like to take at least one aimless walk every day. This is my way of letting my mind wander with no distractions. Sometimes, I achieve nothing with this walk except exercise. Other times, ideas strike me. Regardless, it is calming and achieves the peace I need for future creative endeavors.
Having goals gives you a direction to focus your energy. Rather than wasting energy on various endeavors, having specific goals can help you concentrate and achieve more. Make notes of the ideas you have so you can go back to them. When you feel that they're ready to be realized, move them to a goal list. Then, you can get to work.
Once you have some ideas ready to go, the first creative skill you're going to need in order to succeed is drive. While it may not initially feel related to creativity, the drive to get things done well and succeed is as important as any technique you use to get there. Your drive is what will get you up in the morning, out the door, and creating great work.
Rethink your views on networking and learn to forge genuine business relationships. Learn more.
Equally as important as the drive to create is the discipline to keep creating and seeing things through. Even when you don't feel like creating, keep at it. Regular exercises and maintaining a schedule will help you be creative when you need to be.
When times get tough, it's easy to lose the desire to create and break that schedule of creation you've worked hard to maintain. The most important thing you can do at this time is dig in and keep working. When it comes to a rough month, or just a problem on a project, grit is the skill that will differentiate you from other creatives. However, it's also important to know when you're spent. Know when to take a break and replenish so you can get right back on track.
Be curious. You never know what you might learn by exploring something different. Don't say "no" immediately because you don't have an interest in something. Explore all opportunities to learn and see where they take you. Even if they are not immediately related to your own work, be curious and hungry in your education. Try taking an online class or learning a new art form. Trying new things is a great way to flex your creative muscles.
An open mind
Allowing yourself to accept new ideas is an extremely important part of creativity. If you can accept new knowledge without judgment and see it for what it is, there is always something useful to be found. Practice looking at things for what they are and you will found yourself seeing new ways to express them.
Rethink your views on networking and learn to forge genuine business relationships. Learn more.
Don't take everything too seriously! Embrace that spirit of unknowing. Stop drawing the conclusions you've been taught to draw. Forget what you think you know. Play. Experiment. Sometimes new skills are realized when you're playing versus working.
Question everything
You should never stop questioning as a creative and of all the questions you could ask yourself, "What if …?" is the most powerful of them. When it comes to creative work, there is no harm in trying anything. Take stock of what you have and try to work with it. The combination of two seemingly unrelated elements is often what leads to the greatest creativity. Question everything and reach your creative potential!
Technical knowledge
All the creative skills in the world become useless if you cannot apply them. Know your tools. Understanding programs like Adobe Illustrator or even social media platforms like LinkedIn can help you effectively express the ideas you have. Don't forget to train yourself in the more technical sides of our disciplines as well.
Rethink your views on networking and learn to forge genuine business relationships. Learn more.

Following a meeting in Dungannon tonight, the A.O.H. St Joseph's Pro-Life Division calls on the Catholic hierarchy to uphold Church teaching on refusing Holy Communion to those who openly support or promote abortion, especially elected public representatives.This comes in the wake of the weekend's announcement by Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams that he supports abortion and the repeal of the Eighth Amendment in the forthcoming referendum in the South."As a pro-life campaigner of many years I have had to listen to SF candidates say that they and their party president are opposed to abortion," said the Division's President Catherine Sewell. "Now we have the truth in the form of Adams' admission. If this man should have the gall to receive communion after this he might as well spit on the crucifix while he's at the altar as he is openly defying Catholic teaching," she added.The St Joseph's Pro-Life Division promised to be at the forefront of the Tyrone Hibernian's fight against the introduction of abortion into any part of Ireland.
Remember, RememberEarlier this year the Tyrone Hibernians paid tribute to the memory of Blessed Patrick O'Loughran, a priest from the ancient parish of Donaghmore who was martyred in Dublin on St Bridget's Day,1612.The English crown forces put Fr O'Loughran to a gruesome public death simply because he had been a priest in the army of the exiled Hugh O'Neill during the Nine-Years'-War.Fr O'Loughran refused to renounce his Catholic faith or pledge allegiance to the English crown, stating that his only allegiance was to God. He was forced to watch the brutal execution of an elderly Catholic Bishop from County Down before he himself had his entrails torn out before his eyes.While we have understandably focused on Irish martyrs, the Tyrone A.O.H. also honours the memory of all Catholic martyrs around the world who have died for the Faith.On this date, while people on the neighbouring island to the east of us engage in an orgy of anti-Catholic bigotry involving celebratory bonfires and the like, we say a prayer for the English Catholic martyrs, many of them friends and supporters of the Irish, who also gave their lives for the one, true Faith.We also remember the little Irish martyrs of today, the unborn children whose mothers are now paid by the British government to travel to Britain and whose brutal deaths are also now directly financed by the British state. Is this yet another attempt to reduce the native Irish population and pave the way to more easily steal our gold and other resources?The Hibernian tradition from which Fr O'Loughran sprung is still here and still strong. Unlike others we will not abandon our Catholic Faith or our loyalty to the ancient Irish nation and her people, born and unborn.Éire go Brách!
Hi John,Do you support the "26+2 = 1" goal? That is, a united Ireland?
The local AOH chapter here in the US (along with all the other chapters across the US) has the motto/goal of "26 + 2 = 1". In other words, they want a united ireland. 26 counties in Ireland, plus 2 from Northern Ireland = 1 United Ireland.I was just curious if 1) such an idea is being pushed in Ireland 2) If "real" irish care about this goal 3) how politically charged this issue is.
! TAKE ACTION !Contact your Sinn Féin Representatives• Tell them you are totally opposed to Sinn Féin's abortion policy, and their campaign to legalise abortion is not done in your name as an Irish man or woman• Tell them you want ALL the children of the nation cherished equally – as stated in the 1916 Easter Proclamation• Tell them you want Sinn Féin to stop deceiving their constituents by claiming the Party "isn't in favour of abortion" while supporting abortion-on-demand• Tell them you will vote in future elections only for candidates who uphold the right to life of unborn children• Tell them you want both mothers and babies protected from abortion by being given life-affirming options in crisis pregnancies
Can you explain why they only want 2 counties from Northern Ireland?

Supporters of juvenile judge point finger at Public Defender's Office
Former public defender Susannah Meyer fired in January
Supporters of an embattled Tri-State juvenile judge are pointing the finger at the Public Defender's Office.
Former Hamilton County public defender Susannah Meyer was fired in January.
She claims the office was unhappy that she repeatedly pushed for evidence, filed objections and appealed judge's decisions in several juvenile cases.
Meyer said she was told to keep her head down on multiple occasions by her superiors.
"The things that I see Judge (Tracie) Hunter being attacked on are the same things that I was attacked on," Meyer said.
She went on to say children aren't getting a fair deal because the public defender's office isn't representing them vigorously enough; something the man in charge of the public defender's office said is slander.
"I have no idea why Ms. Meyer seems to think we are not doing our jobs. My juvenile attorneys speak up for their clients and fight hard on a daily basis for them," Hamilton County Public Defender Ray Faller said. "They take their duty to zealously advocate on behalf of their clients seriously."
Hunter is currently facing a number of civil cases against her for an alleged backlog of cases.

Tomorrow morning my mom will have her right hip replaced. We don't yet have a time for the surgery, but it will be early in the morning.
I would ask each of you to lift my mother in prayer before The Healer before, during and after her surgery.
She is very frightened to have the surgery. Christians know that fear is not of God, and we are praying for PEACE.
Please pray for the doctors and nurses and every health care provider that will come in contact with my mother. Pray for wisdom and direction as they make decisions before, during and after the surgery.
Pray against any infection, blood clots, excessive pain, etc. We are praying for a speed recovery,
Barring any complications, mom will be released to come home from the
hospital on Friday. Yes, just two nights in the hospital and they will
send her home.
Please pray for me and my two sisters, and my dad as we take care of her over the next few weeks.
My mom's name is Donna, so you can pray for her by name.
Thanks so much to each of you for praying. It means the world to me. I KNOW that God will go before us and make a way through this trial. And that our faith will be made stronger through all of this. I love you my friends.

Dear Robbin - I just said a prayer for all the above -- for your precious mother Donna! Praying for you and your sisters and entire family as well. Please keep us posted. ♥-tammyReplyDelete
I had trouble leaving a comment yesterday. Just wanted to let you know I am with you in lifting up prayers for your mom. Working in Ortho floor for 10 years, the last in 2000, if the technology then was awesome, I can't imagine the improvements by now. Our patients did well and there's always a Pain Management team if nothing helps for pain. Of course, nothing beats His overall provisions. God bless and protect your mom, you and your family.ReplyDelete

Are the producers of The Bachelorette already writing a theme song called: "Dancing to the Tune of Love"?!
Reports are flying around the Internet today that longtime Dancing With the Stars castmember Cheryl Burke is being courted by another ABC reality series: The Bachelorette!
A source tells us that the dancer isn't in talks, but has met with ABC on several occasions to talk about her doing some sort of reality show. The Bachelorette has been mentioned in those conversations, but there are no talks going on right now.
So will we see Burke hanging up her dancing shoes in exchange for roses? According to a Bachelorette insider: not a chance.
"Never gonna happen! Never!" our rock-solid source laments, revealing that Burke has been the one "begging to do the show" and not the other way around.
A second show source echoes the denial, saying that The Bachelorette producers don't like the idea of taking someone from another show because they want all their Bachelors and Bachelorette to be "real people." If Burke did take time off from DWTS next season, it would be the first time since the show started that she didn't participate.

Alistair Begg received this note from a conference attendee:
A friend was suffering through brain cancer and its treatments. His relationship with Jesus was such that the nurse wrote as a critical comment on his chart, 'Mr. X is inappropriately joyful." Since then it has become one of my goals to be inappropriately joyful.
Peter wrote of this type rare joy that characterizes people going through turbulent times:
"Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory," (1 Peter 1:8, ESV)
How many really joyful Christians do you know? Are you one of them?

At 06:00, Holland ordered his force to turn once again to port to ensure that the aft main guns on both Hood and Prince of Wales could bear on the German ships; during the turn, a salvo from Bismarck, fired from about 9 mi (7.8 nmi; 14 km), was seen by men aboard Prince of Wales to straddle Hood abreast her mainmast. It is likely that one 38 cm (15 in) shell struck somewhere between Hood's mainmast and "X" turret aft of the mast. A huge pillar of flame that shot upward 'like a giant blowtorch,' in the vicinity of the mainmast, followed by an explosion that destroyed a large portion of the ship from amidships clear to the rear of "Y" turret, blowing both after turrets into the sea. The ship broke in two and the stern fell away and sank. Ted Briggs, one of the survivors, claimed Hood heeled to 30 degrees at which point 'we knew she just wasn't coming back'. The bow rose clear of the water, pointed upward, pivoted about and sank shortly after the stern. "A" turret fired a salvo while in this upright position, possibly from the doomed gun crew, just before the bow section sank.[nb 4] Splinters rained down on Prince of Wales .5 mi (0.43 nmi; 0.80 km) away. Hood sank in about three minutes with 1,415 members of the crew. Only Ted Briggs, Bob Tilburn and Bill Dundas survived to be rescued two hours later by the destroyer HMS Electra.
The Admiralty later concluded that the most likely explanation for the loss of Hood was a penetration of her magazines by a 38 cm (15 in) shell from Bismarck, causing the explosion. Recent research with submersible craft suggests that the initial explosion was in the aft 4 in (100 mm) magazine and that it spread to the 15 in (380 mm) magazines via the ammunition trunks. It has been suggested from examination of the wreckage, found in 2001, that the magazine explosion in the 4 in (100 mm) armament near the mainmast caused the vertical blast of flame seen there, and this in turn ignited the magazines of the aft 15 in (380 mm) guns that caused the explosion that wrecked the stern. This explosion might have travelled through the starboard fuel tanks, igniting the fuel oil there, setting off the forward magazines and completing the destruction of the ship.
The wreck of Hood revealed the bow section bereft of any structure. A huge section of her side is missing, from the 'A' barbette to the foredeck. The midship section had its plates curled outward. Moreover, the main parts of the forward structure, including the 600 long tons (610 t) conning tower, were found about 1.1 km (0.59 nmi; 0.68 mi) away from the main wreckage.[21] This has sparked theories that the 15 in (380 mm) forward magazines exploded as a result of the force, flames and pressure, caused by the detonation of the aft magazines.[22] However, a team of marine forensic scientists has found that implosion damage to the forward hull due to the rapid sinking of the Hood, is the most likely cause of the state of the forward hull, and they do not support any theory that the forward magazines exploded.[23]
If you have Amazon Prime, I found The Battle of Hood and Bismarck: The Sinking of History's Greatest Warships to be pretty interesting.
I remember reading The Sinking of the Bismarck by William Shirer in 1979 when I was 8. I didn't understand most of it but I liked the pictures and I thought the cover was cool yet sort of creepy. I think I need to track it down to add to the library.

Riverfront Theater Company Presents Virtual Production, BACK TO THE 80s
Riverfront Theater Company will present a virtual concert production of BACK TO THE 80s, August 5-8, 2020.
From the era that brought the world the Rubik's Cube, Max Headroom, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comes the "totally awesome" musical Back to the 80s. In the style of movies such as Back to the Future, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and The Karate Kid, Back to the 80s is a nostalgic romp through the greatest hits of the decade.
Back to the 80s tells the story of the senior class of William Ocean High School, as remembered through the eyes of now 30-something Corey Palmer. Seventeen-year-old Corey is madly in love with his next-door neighbor, Tiffany Houston, one of the coolest girls in the school, but she is too busy mooning over Michael Feldman, the hottest guy around. Michael and his friends are athletic and good-looking - the kind of guys that Corey and his two best friends dream of being. However, while they may not be the coolest guys in school, they are still one up on Feargal McFerrin, III, whose best friend is his computer and who believes the crazy notion that one day, CDs will replace cassette tapes.
Throw in a Star Wars dream sequence, high-energy dance routines, the obligatory 80s party scene, copious amounts of blue eyeshadow, 20 cans of hairspray, as well as some of the most popular songs ever written, and the result is a musical that will not only delight and amuse audiences of any age, but will also inspire any young cast.

Downtown Stamford looks to maintain office-leasing momentum in 2020
STAMFORD — Corporate migration to downtown Stamford accelerated in 2019 — and that shift will probably extend into the new decade.
Although the city is still grappling with a high vacancy rate, its commercial center is attracting and keeping a growing number of companies that are attracted to the office buildings by their proximity to Interstate 95 and Stamford's main Metro-North Railroad station.
At the same time, a number of those properties are boosting their competitiveness by making multimillion-dollar capital improvements.
"Anytime you can get closer to I-95 or closer to the train station, that bodes well for companies both with attracting and retaining employees," said James Ritman, a Stamford-based executive vice president at commercial real estate firm Newmark Knight Frank.
"And buildings that are either newer or really well-retrofitted are the ones that are being focused on by the tenants, and those are the ones that have higher demand and lower availability."
Many deals
Stamford's central business district generated about 1.2 million square feet in office-leasing deals in 2019, according to Newmark Knight Frank.
The CBD accounted 36 percent of the leasing activity last year in Fairfield County. In recent years, downtown Stamford had generated an average of about 25 percent of the county's total.
Those deals helped to lower the CBD's vacancy rate last year by 4 percentage points, to about 27 percent.
In Fairfield County's largest lease signing of 2019, WWE announced last March that it will relocate its headquarters from the city's East Side to the downtown by early 2021. It has leased 415,000 square feet at 677 Washington Blvd., once the city's largest office vacancy.
Among other major deals in and around downtown last year, NKF cited a 60,000-square-foot lease for alcoholic-beverages giant Diageo at 200 Elm St., and renewals totaling about 50,000 square feet for professional-services firm EY and printing-and-mailing company Cenveo at the First Stamford Place complex in the city's Waterside section.
Diageo's arrival was linked to the relocation of its North American headquarters from Norwalk to Manhattan.
In addition to the WWE, 677 Washington last year signed media-and professional-services firm Thomson Reuters and investment firm Wexford Capital to leases total about 37,000 square feet, according to NKF.
Also last year, RFR Realty closed on about 100,000 square feet in new leases and 200,000 square feet in renewed leases across its seven downtown buildings.
New tenants include job-search giant Indeed, which has leased about 24,000 square feet at 107 Elm St. It stands on the 1 million-square-foot Stamford Plaza campus, which also includes the office towers at 263 Tresser Blvd., 281 Tresser Blvd. and 301 Tresser Blvd.
Indeed's expansion stems from its surging headcount a couple of blocks away at 177 Broad St., another RFR-owned property. When the firm moved there in 2011, it took a half-floor for about 50 employees. It now occupies nine levels.
Its new Elm Street offices house about 200 employees, while more than 1,000 in total work for Indeed in the city.
"All leasing is good for Stamford — that's how we view it," said Margaret Carlson, RFR's Stamford portfolio director. "Even though we (downtown office-building owners) compete for the same tenants, it's a very friendly market."
Making improvements
While the downtown's location automatically positions it to draw companies, landlords have sought to bolster their advantage with major upgrades.
At Stamford Plaza, RFR completed last year about $5 million of renovations to a campus whose first building was opened about 40 years ago. RFR purchased the property in 2007.
The enhancements included a $2 million investment in the new 130-seat Terrace Café at 301 Tresser and renovated lobbies for 301 Tresser and 107 Elm. The lobbies feature oak-wood finishes that showcase on the walls a number of works by artists Peter Halley, Kim MacConnel and Sean Landers.
"It's just like your house — you have to put money back into the buildings and maintain them as the Class-A office properties that they are," Carlson said. "Tenants want to be in a location where their employees are comfortable."
RFR is planning to make similar renovations at the neighboring mixed-use Canterbury Green complex at 201 Broad St.
The firm also owns the office building at 300 Atlantic St.
Other downtown office properties, including 677 Washington and the complex at 695 E. Main St.-200 Elm St., have also undergone significant renovations in the past few years.
In the most prominent addition to the downtown office inventory in recent years, cable-and-internet giant Charter Communications is building a new headquarters at 406 Washington Blvd. that overlooks Interstate 95.
Situated a few blocks from the Fortune 100 company's current home at 400 Atlantic St., the 500,000-square-foot glass-sheathed structure is set to open in 2021. Eventually, it will be joined by a second building, according to plans approved last year by city zoning officials.
Ongoing challenges
Overall, Stamford recorded a vacancy rate of about 31 percent in the past quarter, compared with 27 percent for Fairfield County.
Sections of Stamford outside the central business district are grappling with more stubborn vacancies, with the city's non-downtown availability rate running at 35 percent.
The widespread availability is a legacy of construction in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s when companies generally needed more office space than they do today and office parks outside city centers were much more popular.
In the city's South End, the development of the mixed-use Harbor Point project has spurred corporate interest.
Genomic-testing firm Sema4, which opened its headquarters at 333 Ludlow St. in 2017, expanded its footprint in the past year, with a new deal for about 87,000 square feet. At the same time, the company is building a 70,000-square-foot lab 1.5 miles west at 62 Southfield Ave., in the Harbor Landing complex.
Office properties north of the downtown have faced more of a struggle to recruit large tenants, but lower rents compared with downtown properties offer an advantage.
Those non-downtown office complexes still house some of the area's largest companies. Near the Merritt Parkway, 777 Long Ridge Road scored a major win when consumer financial-services firm Synchrony last year renewed its 313,000-square-foot headquarters.
City officials have recently explored options such as leasing space for public schools in to-be-constructed buildings on idle office properties, but the vacancy levels north of the downtown probably will not change dramatically in the next year.
"There are different tenants looking for different types of space. Some will only look near the train station," Ritman said. "And there are others that are priced out from being near the train (station) and are looking for different products."

CleanskinBlu-ray Disc - 2012
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
It was an okay movie. It drew on the same overdone premise about Muslim extremists.
Not a bad movie about Muslim extremists in the UK. Watchable but lacking something overall to make this a great movie.
Anything with Sean Bean is worth watching. He is a brilliant actor, who always gives a stellar performance, and he is not bad to look at it!!
Beyond some amazingly deep acting by Sean Bean - this storyline provides a great view of both sides. Certainly we all see the horror, catastrophe of terrorism and bombings. The part that made my stomache turn a bit, was the background view of the terrorists - also. Regardless - you still have no sympathy for the people who chose this path... but it was an interesting twist.
Chunky Sean Bean battles some of the world's stupider terrorists. More intellectually ambitious than the average action film, but everyone involved could do better.
Good! Lots of violence, and also presents the story from both sides of the terrorist story
Good – Cleanskin (2012) 108 min. The war on terrorism from the vantage point of Britain is featured in this film with Sean Bean playing a Secret Service agent trying to stop the next bombing in London. The film is well paced and provides the inside scoop about how Muslim terrorists are recruited to bringing down the west. Scary film but worth watching.

Xcaret's Sea Turtle Conservation Program is Certified
Xcaret is a major proponent of conservation, especially when it comes to sea turtles. So it was a landmark moment when the Quintana Roo park's efforts were certified by the Latin American Association of Zoological Parks and Aquariums.
As Xcaret puts it, "In over 25 years of hard work, important information has been generated related to the management of sea turtle populations, both in captivity and in the wild; this has enabled the development of various programs that have been successfully established."
READ MORE: Xcaret's Recommended Route Through its Beautiful Water Features
These programs include beach protection, which helps hatchlings successfully reach the sea and monitors female turtles; initiation, where only the strongest juvenile turtles are released into the water; tracking and monitoring, which is the use of technology to find out about turtle behavior and biology at sea; rescue and rehabilitation, where injured or stranded turtles get medical help; and environmental awareness, which uses educational programs to impart important knowledge about responsible conservation stewardship.
To find out more about Xcaret's sea turtle conservation efforts, visit the park's blog.

I figured this would have ended last year, but it didn't. I'm not happy about the fact I committed to my homosexual desires and what's done is done. Nothing to do with religion or some political thing. It's me. I am conflicted with what love is. I love my male friends, often wondered about being with them. But I have that with females, but it seems my sexual fixation is on men. I just feel what I am doing is wrong. I think it's wrong that LGBT is bias with itself and uses the conjecture of societal brainwashing without consent from the person.

Soon we will be off to the great whitey north. Hello SLC!
Since October I have been job hunting without much luck. The last company I was with figured (correctly) that they could pay some schlubs 10 bucks an hour to do what I was getting closer to 22 for. So two for the price of one and our department was disbanded. It was unfortunate, but it's business and when someone has to get rich it is understood that someone has to get poor. That's capitalism at work for you.
But now it looks like things are looking up finally for us. I got a new job with a company in the SLC area, the better half also picked up a job out here. And yesterday it seems that we may have been accepted for a house in the general area.
Pictures? Mebbe. Just not yet.
Good luck with the job. I'm in need of one myself but I'm stuck here and can't move.

On Sunday in the Berlin-Friedrichschain neighborhood [a formerly East Berlin district with a strong left, antifascist, punk, alternative, international, and hipster scene] there was a brutal attack from Neo-Nazis. What happened precisely?
Sunday morning around 6 o´clock, near the Frankfurter Allee subway station, Neo-Nazis first attacked leftists and then also randomly a group of passerby, who luckily were able to flee. As an uninvolved person crossed by, the Neo-Nazis attacked him until he lost consciousness. One of the Nazis dragged him onto the sidewalk, laid his face on the curb and kicked him in the back of the head with all of his might.

THIS article by our man, Mohamed Sankoh, was written few weeks ago. As Sierra Leone goes into official lockdown today, we reproduce the article, because it addresses the harsh, but unavoidable realities of the lockdown. READ :
Sorry, Sierra Leone Will Be Closed For Business
By Mohamed Sankoh (One Drop)
What started as a rumour translated into a suggestion by some Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and it was later bantered on social media. At first, it was unthinkable. Now it has become thinkable and implementable. That the entire Sierra Leone will be closed for business for three days is as frightening as someone waking up at midnight and finds an Ebola-nized chimpanzee perched on his or her bedside table.
But whether it is frightening or not, the seemingly unthinkable thing now is that Sierra Leone will be closed for business from 19 September to 21 September 2014 simply because the capital, Freetown, seems to be determined to breast the tape before Kailahun and Kenema in the race of death (or to death). As Chinua Achebe would have put it, "when the walls of a house fall in, the roof is not left standing"; which is why a lockdown would be necessary because Kailahun and Kenema seems to have handed over the baton of epicenter-cy to Freetown which seems to be registering more cases of Ebola with the frequency with which some of its inhabitants breath air.
But Doctors Without Borders (MSF—its French acronym) has thrown mockery into the current dying-man-clinging-on-a-straw situation of Sierra Leone, saying that the lockdown would not be the appropriate answer to the existing Ebola epidemic as new infected cases might not be reported. But the current Koroma-led administration, which has had its fair share of the International Community's doublespeak and clay-feet attitude, says it might worth the try.
Albeit about 21,000 volunteers from local communities will be recruited and given special training which will enable them to visit homes to identify suspected cases of Ebola and report to appropriate authorities; it is a fact that the process might be fraught with lots and lots of challenges. But the point is: something needs to be done in the current circumstance. That's what the Koroma-led administration is trying to do.
But as with all human decisions, the would-be lockdown has provoked debates from all walks of life. As I see it, the argument that the would-be lockdown might greatly affect mostly those who depend heavily on "hand-to-mouth" is a non-starter. This is because as a government with a humane face, the ruling All People's Congress (APC) has given about two weeks' notice which is enough time for even the crust of society to prepare and make provision for those few stay-at-home days. As Sierra Leoneans, at home, now know that there will be a shutdown they should start behaving like ants (in the metaphorical sense, of course) who store up food in the dry season to weather the weather in the rainy season.
What people should take cognizance of is the fact that Sierra Leone doesn't have a sort of Job Description for, or on, the Ebola virus. Even the hyper-assumed almighty MSF and WHO are still at a loss at the manner in which the Ebola epidemic is ravishing some parts of West Africa in general and Sierra Leone in particular. By all intents and purposes, MSF and WHO have ambiguously told the government of Sierra Leone that the lives of their personnel are treasured more than ordinary Sierra Leonean lives. So, if the government and people of Sierra Leone have been left on their own; it is good that the Koroma-led administration is trying to take the lead.
That's why it is very good that the Koroma-led administration is exploring several methods with the aim of proving that "a man's best servant is himself" (sorry to those with strong gender sensitivities). And the lockdown of the entire country is one of those drastic methods to curtail the spread of the Ebola epidemic in the country. Koinadugu District, in the north, has taught other districts the practicability and profitability of a lockdown which could be replicated in the entire Sierra Leone. So as a responsible government, the ruling APC cannot sit down counting the ticks on a ticking bomb without trying to dismantle the timer on that bomb.
What those who are now criticizing the would-be lockdown are willfully trying to ignore is the fact that these are not normal times. These are times when hopes have been eclipsed by fear; these are times when aspirations have been overtaken by despair; these are times when some people's faith and trust in their God (or gods) have been shaken to the core, and these are times when the only thing in most—if not all—Sierra Leoneans' minds is the question: Could it be me next? Or could the next infected person with the Ebola virus be someone I know?
But a decision has been taken. And as with all human decisions, the would-be lockdown of the entire country will provoke debates until the day it will end. But it will be far better for people to wrestle with hunger for few days than to become Ebola statistics in graveyards. Definitely, this is a time when we are to choose between life and death. And that decision is left with us.
But on a lighter note, one of the benefits that would be accrued from the would-be lockdown would be that most of the children that would be given birth to next year in Sierra Leone might be conceived during the lockdown period. Mark my words, as they are One Dropian predictions!

Land Rover have just started accepting applications to the next G4 Challenge.
The Land Rover G4 Challenge is an exciting global adventure competition with driving at its core, run in support of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. The programme begins with a gruelling series of selections and culminates in the three-week long Challenge Finals, when teams of two competitors from each of the 18 entered nations will compete for victory. The Challenge Finals take place in some of the world's truly spectacular urban and wilderness locations and combine off-road driving with activities such as mountain biking, kayaking, climbing, orienteering and abseiling, pitching competitor teams against each other in tests of driving skill, initiative, strategic thinking and physical fitness.
If adventure and driving excites you or you just want to see and interesting site, check it out.
At Tag we have both an established development team and a thriving, rapidly expanding, interactive department. The G4 Challenge is one of a growing number of projects that has involved people from both teams.
The interesting technologies being used here are:
- A flash intro consists of a number of layered images, creating a panorama effect with the landscape that follows your mouse movements.
- The application form uses PDF, so that online matches the offline paper version.
- Reader Extensions are used so that applicants with Acrobat Reader can save their application form and fill it in off line.
- The back end processing is using the new forms processing capabilities of ColdFusion 8
- We use a content distribution network to provide efficient delivery of the site worldwide.
We will be adding more interactive features over the next few months in the lead up to the main competition.

Just to show that I put my money where my mouth is, after enthusing about this American-made Strat type guitar allegedly made from DiMarzio parts for the 1984 NAMM show, I did actually go ahead and buy it.
However, the colour was a surprise. In my previous post about this guitar back in March, I dubbed it the "red beauty", and indeed in the photos it did look very red.
I feel the picture I have included here to the left here gives a better representation of the colour, although I still can't decide what colour it actually is as it seems to change in different lighting conditions. Sometimes it looks orange, sometimes salmon pink, other times - usually in dim or artificial light - it does look red. Actually, it looks almost fluorescent. I wonder if this was the only brightly coloured guitar on the DiMarzio stand at the 1984 NAMM show? Perhaps there were fluorescent green and fluorescent yellow sisters to this guitar. I'd love to know.
Despite the all-pervading colour on this guitar - not just the body but the whole of the neck and the fingerboard - the finish is actually see-through and you can see the wood grain beneath quite nicely. The body appears to be a 3-piece affair.
The seller had mentioned "Charvel San Dimas era", so I'd like to do a little research and find out if Charvel ever built guitar bodies and necks for the DiMarzio brand.
Given its age, the guitar is in very good nick. With only a quick glance, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was built recently, although a closer inspection reveals one or two minor knocks and dints. This guitar doesn't appear to have been played very much at all, which is unusual seeing that it's 24 years old. You may be able to make out in the photo an area where the finish has worn away on the headstock, and also the pink has worn away on the pink-coloured machine heads.
What is the sound like? Well, very authentic Fender Strat, I'd say, although I've not yet been able to test her at volume.
Did I really need another Strat? (This is my 5th). Well, no I didn't, but something about this guitar really appealed to me and I just had to add it to the collection.
UPDATE: I think I'm on the right track. According to the USA Charvels website, "...in 1978 Grover Jackson put a deal together with DiMarzio which allowed Charvel Manufacturing to make guitar and bass bodies for DiMarzio."
Futhermore, sandimascharvel.com tells us that Charvel's "Strat necks are most commonly oiled...", but goes on to add that "Some are 100% lacquered or painted to match the body."

This has to be one of the strangest collaborations on paper, but it really works. The electro synths of Liverpool's Kids On Bridges meets the New Orleans Funk of Zigaboo Modeliste from legendary band The Meters, producing Say OK, a perfect feel good summer track.
Described as Beck meets Prince and so fresh you could eat it, the track has already had over 88,000 plays on Spotify thanks to Kids on Bridges' growing reputation as one of the UK's most exciting emerging bands through their top 25 iTunes hit Something in the Water and Hype Machine Number 1 When The Needle Drops.
This unlikely but inspired collaboration came about when Zigaboo and Kids on Bridges singer Christian Bragg first met at a Jazz Festival in New Orleans; their subsequent bonding over a mutal love of funk and electro was further bolstered by Christian's love of all things New Orleans. Kids on Bridges were invited to remix two tracks on Zigaboo's EP New Life and his appearance on Say OK was a natural progression.
Kids on Bridges have headlined shows at legendery New Orleans venue Tipitinas and appeared at MOM's Halloween Ball. The growing connection between the two bands led them to join Zigaboo for a jam session in London where Say OK was born.
Kids on Bridges' New Orleans Conection continues to grow; they've supported The Hot 8 Brass Band, worked with New Orleans poet Chuck Perkins and the Grammy nominated singer Ledisi.

For this episode I talk briefly about my new musical equipment purchases. I also talk about starting a surf rock band with my sister and co-worker/friend. Then play a song where I used a homemade electronic drum set.
After that I'm joined by Frank Meyers on Skype, the author of History of Japanese Electric guitars! Frank shares his experiences of writing the book and talks about his own guitar addiction. Frank traveled to Japan and met the people responsible for crafting his very first guitar and talked to a bunch of amazing people along the way!
I close the episode with a song by the 90s cult indie rock group, The Excitables (coming soon to Anthill Recordings)
