4 Popular Types of Phone Cover that You Should Be Aware Of
Phone covers are of utmost importance when it comes to the safety of the phone. They can enhance the look of the phone and amplify its style. Given below are the most popular and widely used kinds of phone covers.
Skin cases are thin silicone or plastic phone cases. They cover the whole unit without augmenting the look and sleekness of the phone. Most of them are transparent or translucent, helping the owner to flaunt the brand of the phone and its looks. So, these covers have two-in-one purpose as not only does it protect the phone from scratches and chips, but also permits the phone to display its design in entirety. So, in case you need to flaunt your iPhone while also preserving its sleekness, nothing better than these skin iPhone covers.
Apart from these features, one thing worth noting is its non-bulky nature. It does not interfere or adds weight, thus making it feel like you're holding your phone without attached covers. Skin covers are flexible in nature. Now, this will come as a shock, but skin covers are one of the least expensive phone cases out there.
Shell cases cover the back and sides of the phone. It does not provide thorough full proof casing but us extremely stylish. The mobile remains intact and is it is very easy to clean the dust entering the cover. The covers are ideal for those who like to keep it simple yet classy.
Wallet/ pouch-
For those who are obsessed with their phones and treat it like a Horcrux in the Harry Potter movie; wallet/ pouch cases are your best friend. Not only do these cases cover the back and sides of the phone but the front too. One need not worry about the front screen scratches caused due to slipping the phone in the pockets, nor worry about sweaty palms. It completely guards the phone in every aspect and aminations the intricacies of the phone's designs even after many years. These might be bulky and tedious to handle for a few. You might have to open the front panel whenever you wish to use the phone. But these cannot hide the amazing safety features it offers.
Adding to these conveniences, these covers can also be used as a phone holder and a wallet. Most of these cases come with an inbuilt wallet making it less tiresome to carry a wallet along with the phone. It can store cards and bills as well. Nowadays, these cases also come in metal material. These covers are ideal and worth the investment for those who are not picky about their designs and do not negotiate with the safety of the phone. This is also beneficial for those butterfingers who tend to drop their phone now and then.
Outdoor/ sporty-
These cases provide complete protection for your phone. You might even get designer phone covers in this criteria. They are usually dustproof, waterproof, crack proof, and snow proof! These are not a luxury case in terms of look, but worth every penny.
These were the top four types of phone covers. Many portals offer these covers in addition to iPhone covers at reasonable prices. Keep in mind the need for a phone cover (whether it is just for looks or full protection) and select one according.

This is the perfect dress material for the men to stay away from harmful diseases like the cold, cough, fever and others. The thermal dresses are available in different brands and styles. So you have to select the type of brand according to your budget.

5 Shoe Mistakes that can Destroy Your Looks
The right pair of shoes can help you up your styling game, and the wrong pair can break it for you. Therefore, you need to select the right shoes when you are stepping out. However, there are times when you end up committing shoe blunders and there's no going back to correcting them. Unless you are sporting the ever-so-trendy Air Jordan. They are incredibly popular. Not only the sports stars but a lot of shoe-savvy folks cannot keep their hands off a pair Jordans for cheap. The brand has a huge fan base, and the fans cannot wait to own a pair as soon as the new collection is out.
Here, we are going to take you through some shoe mistakes and how you can avoid them.
- Pairing Sneakers with Formal Wear
No matter how much the advertisements glamourize the sneakers or the fortune you spent on them, they are not meant to be worn with formals! No three-piece suits, tuxedos, or formals look good with sneakers, and you should not let anyone fool you into wearing them to a wedding.
- Wearing shoes that were once incredible
The shoes that have gotten you through the fanciest of parties but are now worn out will not serve any purpose. You need to bid adieu to your favorite pair someday no matter how expensive it is. So, if the pair is faded, torn, or scratched and look rickety, throw them away. If your favorite pair of Air Jordans is worn out, you can always find Jordans for cheap online.
Having said that, you can always get your shoes repaired from a specialist if they have suffered a minor glitch.
- Wearing Socks Comes with a Rule Book too
Socks are a must when you're wearing sneakers or formal shoes. However, there is no exception to the rule of avoiding socks when wearing sandals or boat shoes.
- Owning Black Shoes Only
Well, black is the new black, and there is no exception to it. Then again, it is not just black which is classy, many browns and other vibrant patterns are waiting for you. They can look equally classy and help you win the hearts at a gathering. So, don't just own black when you can experiment with various colors.
- Going Back in time with Square Toes
Archaic is the word when pops in your mind when you think of square-toed shoes. They scream dated just as Mullets, Ed Hardy, and Affliction. So, if you want to match your feet with the current rhythm, square toes is a big no!
- Barefoot Running Shoes Made news but No Sense
Running barefoot was an idea which was assumed by our ancestors. Well, there was a time, 2-3 years ago, when barefoot running shoes were to be found on everyone's feet. But with time people started believing that it is a false notion and no real good comes to human feet when running barefoot. So, if you own a pair of these 'foot gloves,' better not step out in them and get subjected to fashion policing.
There you go! The above are the mistakes of others which you better not repeat to escape the critical eyes of the fashion police. Now, wait no more and hit all the events in style with your shoe game to the point!
Flower Girl Entrance ideas
Children always shine brighter in the events and they hold the attention of everyone and at the weddings just before the bride can enter to steal the show they make their own entrance and gets the attention of everyone and their presence announces that the arrival of the bride will be soon after they march their way down to the aisle. Flower girl and Paige boy are the two cute little additions in the wedding ceremony and the Paige boys basically the ring bearer and the flower girl is the girl with a basket of flowers to wish luck upon soon to be a married couple. Everyone wants their wedding to be perfect and different then you can do a couple of creative things like you can make the entrance of flower girls different and here are few ideas that will help you make your wedding different and unique
Holding a sign
You can have the flower girl holding a sign saying "here comes the bride" and other such things which you think would make the audience swoon and this will just lead to the grand entrance of the bride herself. You can make many play cards and have them ready so you may know which one she must go with. You can easily make these signs on your own and it doesn't even need that level of creativity. And what would be the best is if you make flower girl make these sign charts on her own and just help her with that.
If the theme of your wedding consists of balloons then what could be better than your flower girl holding a bunch of balloons and if it is an outdoor wedding you can also get the helium balloons for her so she can release then at the end of the wedding.
Bride cart
If your flower girl is just a toddler who can't even walk yet then have her brought in the cart that can contain the signs like "bride is just here" and anyone can carry that cart down the aisle. The younger the kids the cuter this whole event can get and having them dressed up in toddler flower girl dresses will just add more charm to it.
Cute little flower girls in their flower girl dresses and the magic wands will look just like the girls out of a fairytale and decorated wands like fairies will make them appear that way.
Kissing balls
Kissing balls are like flower balls and they suspended by a ribbon can be held by the flower girl and they would be better than a bouquet even.
Giant flowers
Instead of a whole basket of petals, they also may carry a giant flower like a sunflower if that matches the wedding theme and this would be even more economical.
Basket of Petals
In the end, if you still enjoy the traditional touch in the weddings then you must go for it and let the flower girl scatter those petals with her entrance.
So these were the amazing ideas that you can try.

Not long ago, I came to the conclusion that pancakes are just a bready, inferior downgrade for a thick, custardy slice of french toast. After wanting more make-ahead healthy breakfasts, these particular pancakes converted me back.
I do, however, still have some prerequisites when it comes to how I like my flapjacks. I need my cakes to be tall and fluffy. I feel less than eager to devour wimpy, thin little glorified leavened crepes as a counterfeit breakfast.
There are dozens of healthy pancake recipes out there, but few of them have great height and fluffiness to them, and some rely too much on eggs, making them rubbery. I have been working for months to perfect a recipe that comes out just right every time.
Banana Oat Pancakes– makes about 8 large pancakes
[dry ingredients]
5 cups Rolled/Old Fashioned oats
3 tsp sugar
1 ¼ tsp baking powder
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
[wet ingredients]
2 just-ripe bananas (note: don't use under-ripe bananas or the flavor won't come through!)
3 eggs
1 ¾ c almond milk
1 Tbsp vanilla
Place all dry ingredients in a food processor or VitaMix. Secure the lid and turn the processor on, running the blade until the oats have been ground as finely as they can get, about 2 minutes.
Add all wet ingredients and purée mixture until completely smooth. Leave the mix to sit and thicken about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat a pan or griddle for cooking.
Pour batter into a small pitcher or a large glass measuring cup. This will make pouring easier. A small ladle also works well for scooping uniform increments of batter onto the griddle or pan. Start by making one small tester pancake to test the heat of your griddle, and to ensure your baking powder is fresh and active.
These are unbearably delicious if you serve them with sliced fresh bananas that are then lightly drizzled with melted butter and real maple syrup. Fatality warning: you risk dying and going to heaven if you include a Mango Sorbet Mimosa on the side!

Granger on Movies: 'Dumb and Dumber To'
New Canaan News film critic Susan Granger reviews the new movie, "Dumb and Dumber To:"
More and more, Hollywood is looking back to its future. Understand that there's a fine line between a reboot -- which is a new take on an old concept -- and a sequel. Since the original twosome is back and this story picks up after the 1994 original, it's a sequel.
As it begins, Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels) desperately needs a donor for a kidney transplant. When he finds a 23-year-old postcard from an old flame, Fraida Felcher (Kathleen Turner), informing him that she's pregnant with his child, Harry and his buddy Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) discover that Fraida gave the baby girl up for adoption, but she shows them a recent photo of Penny (Rachel Melvin), a smokin' hot babe. Lloyd convinces Harry to try to find Penny, ostensibly to donate a kidney but also because he's smitten with the way she looks: "She's fruit of the loom."
What the perennial pranksters don't know is that someone else is also searching for Penny, a killer (Rob Riggle) who's in cahoots with Penny's scheming stepmom (Laurie Holden), who is slowly poisoning Penny's wealthy adoptive father, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist (Steve Tom).
After "Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd" (2003) flopped, directors Peter and Bobby Farrelly ("There's Something About Mary," "Three Stooges") realized that their franchise really depended on re-igniting the imbecilic chemistry between Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, even though 20 years has passed.
Despite (or perhaps because of) input from six credited screenwriters, it's ironic that the actors seem to be having more fun with the moronic, mistaken identity slapstick than the audience. Blind jokes and fart jokes abound, along with pee and poop jokes.
Instead, catch Jeff Daniels as the anchorman on TV's "The Newsroom." And, if you really want funny, go to YouTube and watch Jim Carrey mock Matthew McConaughey's Lincoln commercials on the Halloween edition of "Saturday Night Live."
On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Dumb and Dumber To" is a disappointing, tedious 2, ineptly trying to reprise the vulgarity and sophomoric humor.

about time, about time quote, air, bach - air, column, great day, happiness, life, love, o my days, relive, story of my life, writing
Today is just one of those days. Absolutely wonderful. Nothing else to add. I loved today. And having such a great day is worth a share too, right? I'm such a cheeseball sometimes. Right now I'm listening to Air from Bach and I'm just reliving my day, my beautiful, sunny day. It kind of reminds me of end-scene from the movie About Time. "I just try to live everyday, as if I deliberately came back to this one day, to enjoy it. As if it was the full final day of my extraordinary, ordinary life."

There are thousands of bird species occupying the world; scientists test them, revealing their intelligence and emotions.
Rio is a 10 year old scarlet macaw and trained entertainer; he is given a string pull test, a new puzzle for the bird requiring visualization to solve. He retrieves the treat, demonstrating the ability to learn.
In the 1930s, Konrad Lorenz studied geese, finding they learn when to perform instinctive behaviors by imprinting. He found some behavior purely instinctive; see goose egg experiment. Flying is instinct, requiring little thought.
Brad is closely bonded to his trainer; he is given a crushed water bottle with a treat inside; he partially fills it with water to swish the food free, demonstrating problem solving skills. Ravens are part of the crow family; along with parrots, they are the most intelligent avian species.
At Haidlhof Research Station, crows and parrots are studied and compared. John, a kea, is given a complex string pull test including a hidden treat and placebo option; he chooses the correct string under varying circumstances, indicating that he formulates and executes plans. Crows and parrots have larger brains than most birds; avian neurons are more closely packed than those of mammals.
Intelligence is believed to be influenced by natural habitat; food is scarce in New Zealand, to procure it, the kea must employ adaptive thinking. The species is inquisitive, explorative and brave; they do not have natural enemies, unlike crows who live alongside predators. Ravens scavenge, and must be clever and cautious while obtaining food.
New Caledonian crows mate for life and believed the most intelligent bird species; they use tools to obtain food in the wild. A researcher conducts a multi access box experiment with a crow and kea; both solve all components of the puzzle, displaying flexible thinking and problem solving skills. Kea likes to play and fit objects together; a specimen solves a tube test using a specific block to knock a treat from a cylinder, and showing conscious process and adaptive thought.
A New Caledonian crow is given a lever test, which she works with a stone. A researcher sets up a complex hook experiment; the bird immediately uses the correct barb to obtain a treat.
Scientists theorize that living in groups promotes animal intelligence. Crows maintain a complex social network with close friendships; a researcher conducts a social learning theory experiment with rooks; they learn different ways of solving the same puzzle by observing another's behavior. Geese are less intelligent, but an experiment shows they display inference; they fly in formation, working together for aerodynamic benefits.
Keas are given a cooperative experiment involving a lid lifted by a see saw lever; one sits on the platform opposite the food, allowing the others to eat; the birds trade off, eventually all feed; the test shows use of cooperation to attain individual wants. A jackdaw is tested for eye signal recognition; her handler hides food and indicates its location by glancing in its direction; she recognizes the cue and also displays object permanency.
Human children are tested with chocolate; they are given the choice to wait for additional reward; results vary, delayed gratification is a developmental milestone. A raven is similarly tested; he is taught to exchange bread for cheese, which he prefers, but must wait for it; the more he likes a food, the longer he will wait for the tradeoff. The birds cache food and toys for later use; they must remember locations, and who might steal their possessions.
Researchers experiment with a raven's cache; they watch the bird hide its toy; one finds and leaves the object, another steals it; the crow learns to guard its possessions when the thieving researcher is present. A professor discusses an ongoing experiment; eleven years ago, he wore a mask while catching and tagging seven campus crows; whenever he wears the disguise he is scolded and sometimes attacked. He theorizes that the birds communicate to each other that he is a threat; many were not captured or yet living when the tagging occurred.
Crow funerals are tested with a decoy; the birds surround the body, rattling and crowing; studies show they are accessing their memory centers. Theory of Mind is observed in the species, and requires empathy; birds display emotions similar to humans. See Brad's response to being reunited with his trainer; review experiments and avian learning behaviors.

Family and friends of multiple Grammy Award-winning music producer Phil Ramone came together on May 11 to celebrate and honor his life. Ramone, who died on March 30, was most noted as a record producer, crafting recordings for artists including Billy Joel, Barbra Streisand, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Natalie Cole, Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, James Taylor and others. But Ramone, a classical violin prodigy who studied at the Juilliard School, was as deeply interested and gifted in the technology of music production. In addition to his 14 Grammy Awards (out of 33 nominations), Ramone was the recipient of a Technical Grammy for his many contributions to the science and art of recording.
The memorial event, titled Phil Ramone, Music Memorial Celebration, was held at the Centennial Memorial Temple, a landmark Art Deco auditorium inside the Salvation Army's Greater New York Division Headquarters. The choice of venue held a particularly special meaning because, in November 2011, Ramone founded The Salvation Army Phil Ramone Orchestra for Children: the result of his lifelong dream to touch the lives of less-fortunate children in challenged communities by giving them access to music education. The program currently serves children ages seven to 12, and teaches these students how to play instruments through group and full orchestra lessons.
The event read like a "Who's Who" of the music industry. It drew a stream of luminaries who recalled Ramone's gifts as a person and music professional, including Tony Bennett, engineer Ed Cherney (Bonnie Raitt, the Rolling Stones), Josh Groban, Dave Grusin, Billy Joel, Quincy Jones, Shelby Lynne, Matthew Morrison, Paul Simon, Kevin Spacey, Noel Paul Stookey, Nikki Yanofsky and Peter Yarrow. In attendance were family members Karen, BJ, Matt and Simon Ramone, who shared the stage and the love everyone felt for Phil Ramone.
An all-star backup band accompanied many of the artists who performed, such as Billy Joel, Tony Bennett, Shelby Lynne, Paul Simon and Josh Groban.

Waves Vienna's motto is "East meets West"; numerous international alternative, electronic, rock, and club acts will be performing around Vienna's 9th district. Additionally, local artists and sophisticated musicians from Eastern Europe form an essential part of the festival's programme.
This year, Waves Vienna will welcome two countries as special guests: Hungary and Sweden. True to the motto "East Meets West", there will be a focus on acts from these countries in the live programme. The Waves Vienna Music Conference will furthermore devote a part of its programme to the respective music markets and scenes of these two countries.
The Waves Vienna Music Conference constitutes a part of the festival and offers the possibility to attend lectures and panels and participate in workshops. The subject-specific programme will deal with the topic "East meets West", which will serve as the basis and inspiration for many years of pan-European cooperation.
Waves Vienna Festival is organised by Verein Wien macht Kultur and Comrades GmbH. In the various areas Comrades works collaboratively with different companies and institutions. The conference is co-organised with MICA (Music Information Center Austria).
The Innovation Network of European Showcases, or INES, is a European cooperation project initiated by eight international showcase festivals and gigmit, the European digital platform for artist booking. Waves Vienna is one of the founding member festivals next to Ment Ljubljana, Monkey Week, Sonic Visions, Live at Heart, ENEA Spring Break, Westway Lab and gigmit.

Ez and Melissa at the beautiful blog Creature Comforts have a running challenge called Cheap Chic. The challenge is to put together a budget minded outfit that reflects your personal style. The theme for the current challenge is Shopping with the Girls! This challenge was just too fun to resist, so I just had to put my mile-long to do list aside for just a moment to put this together.
I decided to take the challenge a couple of steps further so that it would realistically fit into my life. I would never, ever go from store to store putting together an outfit, so I decided to make one stop shopping part of my challenge. And because I absolutely LOVE a bargain, I decided to shop at a store that is not necessarily known for it's "cheap chic." Consider it my little way of sticking it to the man ; ) So my cheap chic outfit to wear shopping with the girls is entirely from J. Crew and it is absolutely (for better or worse) something that I would definitely wear. As a matter of fact, I do own many of the pieces shown.
Here is the breakdown! (note: some things sold out while I was posting, so I was unable to create a link)
Ruffle Collar Pique Henley: $19.99
Petite City Fit Chino (petite on sale - woot!): $19.99
Mendocino Jacket: $19.99 (no, that's not a typo!)
Broken-in Madras Sneakers: $19.99
Soiree Laminated-canvas Bag (so practical!): $49.99
Glass Beaded Lobster Necklace: $69.99
Ok, now I admit that I would consider the bag moderately priced - not necessarily cheap. And the necklace? Even though it's on sale, it would be a total splurge for me. But I did so well on the other pieces, I just had to finish off the outfit with something great and that necklace just had to be included. So I could have done better with the accessories had I gone to Old Navy or Target, but I would never shop that way. I just do not have the time or the inclination to go running around town. And you have to admit, a complete outfit from J.Crew for under $200 is pretty fantastic!

I am doing it again. Editing as I go. Obsessing over every little word making my writing task tedious and joyless. This is my 4th attempt at writing this post. Why? Because it all has to be 'just so'. I am now anxious and irked instead of inspired and creative. When I get like this, I just want to give up. I have discovered that for me writing everyday is like being on a diet. When I miss a day, I kinda throw in the towel instead of picking up where I left off.
This is the first day since the 8th that I have written and like I said this is my 4th attempt at a post. In fact after I deleted the third attempt and went to open the front door for my son, I muttered, "I can't do this." Write.
I get stuck. Not writer's block, but OCD stuck. Writing and rewiring the same opening sentences. It gets so hard for me to get past the first few words into the writing groove that inevitably I end up stressed and anxious - devoid of creativity and inspiration. I get stuck. It's a brain thing.
It's a brain thing. Aha, it's a brain thing. The idea that OCD has had an impact on my writing has never crossed my mind.
Sometimes when my ADHD son does his homework he will go back and trace his letters over and over again to make sure they are perfect. He doesn't move on until the letters on the paper match the letters in his mind. Sometimes if I let him, he won't get past the start and I have to step in. He gets stuck - OCD stuck.
I forget I have OCD because for me it's invisible. The therapist that diagnosed me said I have a 'sticky mind' where a particular thought or image doesn't process out of my brain normally. It gets stuck in transit. For instance a few years ago I friend and I had a minor disagreement. I replayed the conversation (and it's accompanying thoughts) over and over again in my mind. I lost three nights of sleep and walked through my days in an absent minded fog. The difference between me and other OCD folks is that I don't respond physically to whatever is going on in my mind. I don't have a routine that makes me feel better.
What if all this time it was some form of OCD impacting my writing. Now that I think about it, some of my writing behaviors are odd. Spending four and five hours straight composing one comment on someone else's blog. Write and then delete. Write and then delete. Taking an hour to write what should be a five minute response to an email. I chalked it up to being an unreasonable perfectionist, which is why I started this, "Planning to Fail" writing experiment. If I have no expectations other than to express myself, then there is no reason to be perfect. If I don't make plans to write the "Great American Novel" than I can be free to stink. I just want to write. My plan worked, until it didn't.
I take responsibility for my stuff - I don't like passing the buck - I don't like a whole lot of excuses. However, I can't help wondering if my writing failures are due to OCD. It's a lot to think about.
The question I have asked myself over ...well...my lifetime has been - How Come I Never Finish What I Start? The answer seems simple...I can't get past the start. I never get past the start. Not really. The perfectionism gets me every time.
Oh my goodness, I just got it! I said earlier that I don't have a routine that makes me feel better. The Hell I don't! Freakin' rewriting the same thing over and over again IS the routine - the compulsion that says I have to get it 'just so'. But there is no 'just so' when it comes to writing. I need to get to 'just finished'.
It's a terrible cycle. I think my lack of discipline and consistency really says that I don't want to deal with the stress involved with getting past the start.

Fire blankets are made of fire resistant fiberglass and in most cases and come packaged as a folded product with the ability to quickly be released if needed making them easy to store in confined spaces, in particularly kitchens. The inflammable nature of the item allows it to work at temperatures of up to 550˚C and it suffocates a fire, not allowing any oxygen to it and breaking the fire triangle.
Here at Fire Safety Store, we like to keep things simple for you. We have five different sizes of fire blankets: 1m x 1m, 1.1m x 1.1m, 1.8m x 1.2m, 1.2m x 1.2m, 1.8m x 1.75m.
Smaller blankets are ideal for home kitchens or cafe environments that you may associate fire blankets with. Workplaces where there is a higher risk of employees' clothes catching fire, such as laboratories or industrial scale sites, could benefit from larger fire blankets. Just like the smaller versions, they can be mounted to a wall and be easily and quickly released so a staff member who may be on fire can wrap themselves in the blanket. Also with larger blankets, you can wrap them around you to give an added layer of protection whilst escaping from fire situations.
If using the fire blanket to put out flames, remember to turn off the gas or electric supply, roll up your sleeves and cover your hands with the blanket before placing it on the flames. Feel free to contact us if you are unsure of any aspect. We will be happy to give you further information about the use of any of our products, including fire blankets.
All our blankets are legally compliant and follow the latest regulations BS EN 1869:1997. We offer next day delivery when you order before 2pm and like our other products, our fire blankets carry a five year warranty.
Our welding drapes are available in a range of sizes including 1.2m x 2.4m to 1.8m x 2.4. The drapes are available either as medium duty or heavy duty. The drapes work by protecting damage on an area or fabric of a building and prevents the area catching on fire.

Thank you for joining us for Once Upon a Symphony! On this page, you will learn more about the experience you will have at Symphony Center. You can use the links below to navigate, or simply scroll to read more.
What is Once Upon a Symphony?
What will we see at the concert?
What will we experience?
Help! What do I do when…
5 Simple Do's and Don'ts
While many parents of young children tend to avoid orchestral concerts because of behavioral expectations at such events, Once Upon a Symphony is designed to take down these barriers and invite young children into the performance through developmentally appropriate content and techniques.
Imagine a traditional orchestra concert: a dark concert hall full of people, where everyone is expected to sit still and quiet for a long time, listening to music that is beautiful but is unfamiliar at times. It may seem that there are many unwritten rules for audience behavior and that applauding at the "wrong" time is frowned upon. Even at "family-friendly" programming, trying to take a crying or upset child out of the concert hall can be nearly impossible, but staying in the hall can be disruptive and stressful too.
Once Upon a Symphony is very different from a traditional orchestra concert. Designed especially for 3- to 5-year-old children, we have created an experience that will welcome your child into a safe, interactive environment. Research shows that children learn by seeing, hearing, and doing, and their experience at Once Upon a Symphony will engage them in each of these ways.
What will we see at the concert?
Once Upon a Symphony combines music and storytelling to introduce young children to the amazing world of classical music. This Once Upon a Symphony performance will explore the classic story of The Bremen Town Musicians through an original production featuring music performed by members of the "World's Best, Chicago's Own" Chicago Symphony Orchestra with storyteller Patrick Budde, and the Chicago Children's Theatre. This performance features musicians playing bassoon, clarinet, horn, and violin.
What will we experience at the concert?
Once Upon a Symphony will take place in Buntrock Hall and in the Rotunda of Symphony Center.
- Starting at 9:15 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., a series of interactive, educational pre-concert activities will take place at stations throughout the Rotunda. These activities, led by music educators from DePaul University and Roosevelt University, are an important part of the Once Upon a Symphony experience, as they will prepare you and your child for the performance. These activities will include opportunities to listen to, respond to, and create music, and we encourage you to participate along with your child.
- The Bremen Town Musicians will be performed in Buntrock Hall at 10:00 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. There are no assigned seats, so you may sit wherever you are comfortable. Buntrock Hall will open for seating 15 minutes before the concert start time.
- The performance will include moments where you will be encouraged to sing, dance, and move along with the music. It is very important that you be a good model and participate alongside your child; your child will respond most energetically if he or she sees you having fun too. Please note that no child will be forced to participate in any way that would make him or her feel uncomfortable.
- If your child becomes upset or uncomfortable during the performance, you are free to leave Buntrock Hall and re-enter later. Remember, if your child starts to cry, it is their way of saying, "I need a break." It's OK—stay calm.
- CSO ushers and volunteers will be on hand to help ensure that you and your child have a safe and enjoyable experience.
- … my child is ready to go home but the concert has barely started?
- Take a moment to step out of Buntrock Hall and get a drink of water. Remember, you can exit and re-enter at any time. It may be helpful to bring an "emergency supply" of snacks with you for moments like this too. If you will be attending the 11:45 a.m. concert, please thoughtfully consider how this might affect your child's lunch/nap routine.
- … my child is upset, uncomfortable, or even crying?
- This is their way of saying, "There is too much going on right now, and I need a break." It's OK—take a break outside Buntrock Hall and come back when your child is feeling better.
- … my child starts wandering toward the stage?
- It's OK for your child to be up and moving during the performance. This is a sign of their interest in exploring more. However, children on stage can distract the performers and other audience members. Please help us ensure that everyone attending this performance has a safe, memorable experience. After the performance ends, there will be opportunities to visit the stage and meet the performers. Parts of the performance will also take place in the audience, and there will be many opportunities where your child will be encouraged to dance, move, or sing with the music, so there will be many chances to be a part of what is happening on stage without having to leave your seats.
|To have the best experience at Once Upon a Symphony, DO…
|To have the best experience at Once Upon a Symphony, DON'T…
|1. Participate in the activities that take place before the performance along with your child—they will be fun, and they will improve your child's experience.
2. Sing and move along with your child during the performance—it's part of the experience!
3. Sit wherever your child wants to sit—there are no assigned seats.
4. Explore the story and some of the music before and after you visit Symphony Center.
5. Feel free to exit and re-enter the concert whenever you need to if your child begins to feel upset or uncomfortable. It's OK to take a break and give them time to calm down!
|1. Force your child to sit still and quiet during the performance—let them sing along, be comfortable, or ask questions.
2. Overdress—wear comfortable clothes so that you and your child may participate in the activities before the concert and during the concert itself.
3. Force your child to participate if they don't want to—allow them to experience the story and the music in their own way.
4. Be embarrassed or upset if your child needs to take a break from the performance. It's OK if you need to step out and calm down so that your neighbors aren't distracted.
5. Be afraid to experience new things!

PROVIDENCE, RI – The Johnson & Wales University men's volleyball team took on a pair of strong opponents on day two of the JWU Invitational. The Wildcats played one of their best matches of the season to top Nazareth 3-1 (25-18, 16-25, 25-15, 25-21). JWU hung with 10th-ranked Endicott, but ultimately dropped a 3-0 (25-19, 25-17, 25-19) decision to the Gulls.
Johnson & Wales: 9-3
Statistical Leaders:
Cameron Ponce (JWU): 8 kills, 5 digs, 3 blocks vs. EC / 31 assists, 4 digs vs. NC
Sanjae Holloway (JWU): 15 kills, 9 digs, 3 blocks vs. NC
Jack Pincince (JWU): 13 kills
Of Note:
The win over Nazareth was JWU's first over the Golden Flyers. The Wildcats were 0-11.
JWU got out to a fast start in set one with Sanjae Holloway staking the Wildcats to a 13-3 lead. A block in set two got the Wildcats within 14-12, but the Golden Flyers ended on an 11-4 run. Johnson & Wales went from down 11-9 to up 15-12 on its way to winning the fourth set.
The Wildcats hit .317 while also posting eight blocks. Nazareth did have a 53-32 advantage in digs.
Cameron Ponce had the JWU offensive in system, handing out 31 assists with four different players notching seven or more kills.
Holloway surpassed his career-high with 15 kills and just missed a double-double with nine digs. Freshman Jack Pincince produced a season-high 13 kills.
Back-to-back kills by Donovan Kelley and Ponce pulled the Wildcats within 21-18 in the first set, but a pair of JWU miscues gave the Gulls the opening frame. A Josh Pitzer winner got the Wildcats to 20-18 in the third set, but Endicott came through with three-straight kills to put the match out of reach.
Endicott had a .354 to .169 hitting advantage as well as a 46-31 digs margin. The Gulls added six service aces.

CONTRACTS; BREACH; ANTICIPATORY BREACH — Anticipatory repudiation is not limited to cases of express and unequivocal repudiation of a contract; instead, anticipatory repudiation includes cases in which grounds support one party's belief that the other party will breach the contract.
A lender held a debenture which, by its terms, was "subordinate to all indebtedness of the Corporation now existing and which may be incurred after the issue date for indebtedness and obligations to banks, trust companies, and other financial institutions or lending institutions." A time came when the corporate borrower, because of its financial difficulties, ... not only stopped making interest payments on all outstanding debentures, but also stopped redeeming all debentures." The following month, it wrote to the debenture holder, advising the holder "of its dire financial condition and [said] that it was going to voluntarily liquidate its assets. The letter informed the debenture holder[] that it had reached an agreement with its prime lender" wherein it would liquidate its holdings, pay a fixed sum to its prime lender (a bank) and then monies raised above that amount would be split 50/50 between the bank and the debenture holder. The debenture holder, "[n]ot wanting to stand second to [the bank], filed [a complaint], seeking to recoup the monies owed under" the debenture.
The lower court dismissed the complaint when it ruled that the debtor had not breached the terms of the debenture. In doing so, it rejected the debenture holder's argument that the debtor "had anticipatorily breached the debenture agreements because [the debtor] stated that it was going to default in the payment of the debentures or declare bankruptcy." The debenture holder successfully appealed with the Appellate Division agreeing that the lower court "erred in determining that [the debtor] had not anticipatorily breached its debenture obligations." Anticipatory breach "entitles a nonrepudiating party to claim damages for total breach when the other party, through an unambiguous affirmative act or statement, repudiates its contractual duties prior to the agreed-upon time for performance. ... However, there are two general views as to whether the nonrepudiating party may sue for damages when the other party acts in other than a non-ambiguous manner. ... Under the traditional view, '[t]he nonrepudiating party could either continue to perform, and subject itself to greater damages when the other party failed to satisfy its contractual duties, or hold its performance.' ... The modern view is not so restricted; it 'does not limit anticipatory repudiation to cases of express and unequivocal repudiation of a contract. Instead, anticipatory repudiation includes cases in which reasonable grounds support the obligee's belief that the obligor will breach the contract.'"
The Court ruled that when the debtor sent the debenture holder its letter "advising that it was ceasing business operations and that there was no guarantee that the unsecured debenture holders would receive the monies owed under the debentures, [and] ... informed [the debenture holder] that it had not only reached an agreement to liquidate with [the bank], its prime lender," this constituted reasonable grounds to support the debenture holder's belief that the debtor "was not going to pay the principal and interest on [the debenture]." Because this breach "goes to the essence of the debenture contract," the debenture holder was entitled to treat the debtor's action "as a breach of the agreement to pay and sue for damages."
It didn't matter that the debentures were subordinate to commercial loans because, although this may have placed the debenture holder "in a position behind the commercial lenders as to payment," it did not mean there was no breach and therefore did not mean that the debenture holder could not sue for breach of contract. In reaching its conclusion, the Court rejected the debtor's argument that the debenture holder, by being subordinate to a bank loan, had waived its right to receive payment or to declare a breach if such payment was not received. The Court refused to speculate as to whether the debenture holder could or would collect any money given that the debenture was subordinate to the bank loan.

The Waterboy will mainly appeal to the most forgiving of Adam Sandler fans, but the solid AVC/MPEG-4 transfer to Blu-ray is much better than expected.

I've been thinking about Imbolc and Candlemas, and something that keeps coming to me is that this is a day that falls within the darkness, and yet celebrates the light that we put out into the world. Candles are an obvious metaphor, and I am reminded of Matthew 5:
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
The light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Even if the darkness does not comprehend the light, the light still comes, and cannot be ignored. In this month where the darkness still has hold over our earth, the little lights of our candles are standing up and being seen, and cannot be quenched.
This lunation, I will ponder and meditate on Vision: what I am focusing on, where I am going, and also what kind of light I am putting out to the world.
During this new moon, my fast (I'm planning three days) will be from the internet...so I'll see ya later. ☺
As a closing, I wanted to share this song:
Be Thou My Vision
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul's Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven's joys, O bright Heaven's Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

Hey y'all!
Sometimes, I wonder what high school people go to where they did not learn that bathrooms echo.
Fun fact, walk into any woman's bathroom, and your voice will carry and echo—you're conversation isn't like Bilbo trying to sneak past Golum, all quiet and sneaky and successful. No. At best, you'd be more like Bill the Pony just wanting to follow Sam into the Mines of Moria like a faithful little pony… but you can't because you're just a pony…
Or, you're like Pippin when everyone's trying to quiet and stealthy up in those Mines of Moria– because everyone know those mines are filled with orcs. But then, because you're not the brightest crayon in the hobbit crayon box, you stumble into a skeleton and push it down a well. Now everyone knows y'all are in Moria, Pippin. Pippin! You fool of a Took!
Right. Point being, there's no chance you're going to be successful.
When I walked into the bathrooms at work the other day, I heard something that I haven't heard in a long time:
"Now, I'm just being honest…"
That phrase caught my ear—probably because I haven't heard it since high school. I thought people grew out of the phrase. I thought people understood. I guess, hoping that I'd never hear that phrase again was like hoping Sam would ever get his precious pony back.
When people say, "Now I'm just being honest", it seems like what they literally mean is "this is my subjective-somewhat-exaggerated-opinion". Any logical person would think that "I'm just being honest" was something you could take literally—but no.
The idea that you had to preface this sentence with the phrase "Now, I'm just being honest" is a huge red-flag for me. What were you doing at every other point in this conversation? Lying to me? Lying to yourself? Telling Bill the Pony that Sam will be back in a minute?
Sam will not be back in jiffy, Bill, and you are not "just being honest".
When I was a little bitty human being in second grade, I looked a bit like a hobbit, as most kids do. Every Monday our teacher would do a "characteristic of the week", and, more than one week, we had honesty. It was around this time when I first heard this phrase.
The teacher would say, "Honesty is very important. Can you think of any good examples of someone being honest?"
Then that one kid—there's always 'that-one-kid', even in the 2nd grade—would say, "Sometimes, cheaters tell the teacher on themselves and that's honest." That kid would get a gold star and sucker from the teacher.
This unleashed a spree in my second grade class. Suddenly, every kid who had ever done anything wrong would be like, "TEACHER! I CHEATED!" And, because they were being honest, they'd get no punishment AND a sucker.
Chaos. Mayhem. Destruction– 2nd grade.
When people say, "I'm just being honest", my brain comes back to that. I imagine that this 20 to 40 year old woman gossiping in the bathroom was once a second grade girl who learned the definition of honesty, put it into practice, and got a sucker for it.
The thing is, we aren't in 2nd grade anymore. "Just being honest" isn't a pass to say or do whatever you want, bro— and you can't throw a skeleton down the well and expect Gandalf to be alright with that.
I thought this was a basic fact that you learned in 3rd grade, around the same time you learned that gossiping in the bathroom was a terrible idea because bathrooms always echo…
Peace out, my home slices!
P.S. I made some more typographic things. I've posted them below, but, for the future, I'll probably just throw them onto:

Lebogang Rasethaba captures a dancing nation
Arcade Content's Lebogang Rasethaba has found his rhythm with two brand films about South African dance culture.
Lebo directed an eight-minute documentary on the Johannesburg leg of Boiler Room and Ballantine's Stay True tour, which has taken the brands from Chile to Mexico to South Africa so far, with Russia next up.
Intercut with dance footage from the event, Stay True: South Africa features interviews with the South African musicians who performed: Black Coffee, Black Motion, Shimza, Culoe de Song, DJ Vinny Da Vinci, and Okmalumkoolkat, who sums it up succinctly in his interview: "South Africa. It's a dancing nation."
As Boiler Room's Jack Hart says, "Sometimes on the global Stay True Journeys we're undertaking with Ballantine's Scotch Whisky, local themes emerge gradually. Not so in South Africa. There, the theme came instantly. Right up front, everyone we spoke to in the SA music world mentioned one thing above all others as important to them: the power and centrality of dancing in their lives."
"When I make a song, I picture how the people would dance to it," says Black Coffee in the film. "In South Africa, there's always a new kind of dance. There's always a new way of dancing to music."
"As something that is so central to our identity, dance is still a relatively novel topic here," says Lebo. "Can you imagine such a big story has almost never been told like this? I got to interview people who have been interviewed a million times, but as we were talking it occurred to me that they had never had this conversation before, not like this."
Stay True South Africa is beautifully shot by Lebo and DOP Motheo Moeng, who make the most of the distinctive combination of slow motion, smoke, incredible dancers and downtown Jozi at night. "The concept allowed me to tell a story that was so visually expressive I couldn't believe some of the footage I was getting," says Lebo.
The brand film has already been featured on international sites like i-D and High Snobiety, with over a quarter of a million views in its first week online.
"We've tried to capture just what a vital collective activity dance really is for South African music makers and their fans alike," says Jack. "It's a compelling vision of generations of tradition being retooled for the 20th century, and we couldn't be prouder of it."
Lebo also directed the first episode of +27: Social Innovators of South Africa, which recently premiered on Red Bull TV. His 22-minute documentary focused on Jarrel Mathebula, the co-founder of Indigenous Dance Academy in Tembisa. Together with his girlfriend, Neo, Jarrel has built an innovative business that gives township dancers the chance to earn money doing what they love.
"In South Africa, people still tend to think of branded content as cool short clips we watch at our desks during work hours, but Red Bull is being far more ambitious than that, building their own channel rather than just buying space on someone else's," says Lebo. "The length originally freaked me out a bit, but it was great to be challenged and broaden my idea of what branded content can be."

ARCADE is a division of Egg Films that produces content that falls outside the realm of traditional TV commercials. This includes brand films, web series, music videos and more. We are breaking the mould of commercial filmmaking with a more minimal, guerrilla style of shooting but with all the backup of an established production company.
We are no longer constrained by how long or short content needs to be, freeing us to focus purely on engaging and entertaining a specific target audience. In today's world of super-short attention spans it's all about making content that audiences want to watch.
Branded content isn't going to replace traditional advertising any time soon because it's not at the frontline of selling, but it is filling that essential and bountiful space between the hard-sell and the consumer's emotional breeding ground.
Arcade represents directors Lebogang Rasethaba, Rob Smith and Kyle Lewis. Egg Films' multi-award-winning roster of directors is also available for any work aligned with Arcade's style of producing content.
Arcade handles productions of any size and budget with creative skill and vision, collaborating with agencies and clients alike. The only thing we don't do is TV commercials; that we leave to the other guys – Egg Films. Lebogang will continue to produce commercials through Egg Films.
Arcade is owned by managing director Colin Howard, director Lebogang Rasethaba, and producer Will Nicholson.
