A Note on The Wilder-Ludwig Adaptation of The Beaux' Stratagem
Once upon a time, two penniless beaux are forced to flee their creditors in the expensive beau monde of London and roam about the countryside seeking salvation by marrying women of great beauty (if possible) and fortune (without question). They fetch up in Lichfield and put their stratagem into play. It all works out wonderfully well, although not before many a diverting moment involving such matters as highway robbery, life in an inn owned by a rogue, mistaken identify, much sexual innuendo played out in front of and behind beautiful and not-so-beautiful women, sword play, heavy drinking -- and lively comment on the nature and destiny of the genders, separate and together.
Welcome to the world of The Beaux' Stratagem, the late Restoration comedy by John Farquhar (1677/78? – 1707), a smashing success when it opened several weeks before the playwright's death on May 23, 1707.
In England and Ireland the play, known in the trade as The Beaux, has had a long and honorable history on the page and in an occasional production. It is a different story on this side of the Atlantic. Those who love the theatre will recognize its title, and some may recall that it resides in an anthology stored at the top of the stairs with other college texts. But as the work is rarely performed outside of university and conservatory settings, few can claim to have attended an actual performance of this minor classic. The play's professional history in New York underscores the point: down to the present it has been performed only once each century -- in 1751, 1843 and a brief Broadway run in 1928.
The determined and energetic producer-director Cheryl Crawford (1902-1986) undoubtedly knew these facts when she asked Thornton Wilder (1897-1975) to adapt The Beaux in the late spring of 1939 for a projected Broadway date that same December. The record of what now occurred is sketchy. What we do know from Wilder's correspondence is that Crawford developed the scheme for the well-known British-born stage and film star Brian Aherne, no doubt slotted to play the part of Archer. We also know from the same source that Crawford had two distinguished British actresses in mind for key roles: Edith Evans for the part of Lady Bountiful, and we believe the younger Shakespearean actress and director Margaret Webster for the part of Dorinda.
In addition to Wilder's established interest in adaptation and translation, the offer appealed to him for three reasons. First, he adored farce and comedy and thus Restoration theatre. (As a student he had once even tried to write a faux Restoration drama.) Second, he had free time—at last. It puts The Beaux in a broader context of his career to note that Wilder had been on a dramatic tear from 1937 through the summer of 1939 because of three principal projects: his stage adaptation of A Doll's House for Ruth Gordon, which was a Broadway hit; his fabulously successful Our Town that had opened on February 4, 1938 because of three projects as awarded the Pulitzer Prize that May; and a farce freely adapted from a comedy by the nineteenth century Viennese actor-playwright Johann Nestroy, The Merchant of Yonkers, a play that failed soon after it opened at the end of 1938. On top of all this, in the summer of 1939 he devoted himself to the challenge of acting the part of the Stage Manager in three summer stock productions of Our Town.
The third reason that Crawford's offer appealed to him had to do with the threat of war in Europe during the spring and summer of 1939. It was time of great uncertainty and the questioning of priorities. In early October, with war declared after the invasion of Poland on September 3, Wilder painted his situation this way to a close friend:
What with the war dinning in our ears work is the only thing to save us from growing savage or trivial; I'm locked up with a preface to Limited Edition Club's edition of the Oedipus Rex [completed but not published until 1955.] Again, because of the War I doubt whether I'll embark out on a novel or play this year –this year will be my non-fiction year, long postponed ventures into the essay and into criticism; but I will do a touched up version of Farquhar's The Beaux' Stratagem for Broadway.
Wilder worked resolutely his adaptation in October and November 1939, writing into it (as reported to his family) "lots that Farquhar never tho't of, and whole new twists in the plot." He also met at least once with Crawford (joined by Margaret Webster) who felt confident enough with his progress to select a theatre by early November. ("Wouldn't it freeze you. They've picked the theatre and everything!!!" wrote Wilder to his home front on November 4.) But in late November or early December, he lost his way and confidence in the piece, and by the end of the year had to tell Crawford that he was "stuck" and "must give it up." Reporting this news to his family early in the new year, he added that "she didn't seem downcast and I guess she's given it up too."
Despite a fifty-seven-page handwritten draft and a related typescript, so ended one of those good ideas that don't work out. Soon, however, Wilder fell under the spell of a new idea for a play, inspired by his search for a way to bear witness to a world at war. He titled it The Skin of Our Teeth. It received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1943.
In 2000 Tappan Wilder, his uncle's literary executor, rediscovered the unfinished Beaux manuscript - representing in length about half the play-- in the reading room of the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale. He laughed so hard reading it that he was reprimanded sharply by a scholar working on Medieval Illuminated Manuscripts at the next table. In May 2004, Tappan Wilder met playwright Ken Ludwig and discovered that he was not only deeply indebted to Restoration Drama as inspiration for his own work but had studied this literary period at Cambridge University in the 1970s.
[highlighted_text]Given this background Mr. Wilder asked Mr. Ludwig to read Thornton Wilder's unfinished manuscript and, if he found it worthy, to consider completing the play. Mr. Ludwig agreed to do so. [/highlighted_text]As his appended note indicates, he found Wilder's Beaux an exciting and most unusual adaptation, and went on to complete the play in the summer of 2004 and early 2005. It was with no less enthusiasm that Tappan Wilder approved Mr. Ludwig's work in finishing the play, including the careful cuts and revisions that Mr.Ludwig applied to Wilder's portion of the script in order to address inevitable questions of balance and length.
And the result? After a delay of sixty-seven years, audiences will have an opportunity to witness a "new" adaptation of a theatrical classic by a team of gifted American playwrights who stand tall for Restoration drama, Thornton Wilder and Ken Ludwig, who both separately and now as one explore ways to stage this classic drama for the 21st century audience.
Tappan Wilder
Perhaps the most remarkable feature of Wilder's adaptation is the animating idea itself. When a dramatist chooses an underlying work to adapt, it is commonly a piece that will, by its nature, give the writer the scope he needs to create a new work of art. Thus, usually, the underlying work is in a different language; or it is in another medium altogether, be it a novel, a poem or, lately, a movie. Thus, normally, the underlying work is not a play in English, to say nothing of a minor classic.
Wilder, however, broke this mold – and he may well have been the first to do so. In agreeing to adapt The Beaux' Stratagem, Wilder must have said to himself: "Here is a great piece of theatre with remarkable comic exuberance, gloriously funny characters and an abundance of genuinely witty dialogue; and it sits on the shelf, unperformed for decades at a time, because it is too long, contains many turgid, unedited passages (it was written and performed shortly before Farquhar's death in 1707), and features two minor characters who are given far too much stage time and whose 18th Century stereotypes (the funny Frenchman and the funny Irishman) leave us cold today. So why don't I pick this piece up and shake it a bit. I'll keep the exuberant story-line, the major characters and the great speeches and I'll cut out all the boring bits. And to make up for the cuts, I'll add some new plot twists and write some new scenes. Then, perhaps, I can restore this play to the glory it deserves as a true classic of the 18th Century, ready to stand beside its only peers, She Stoops to Conquer, The Rivals, and The School for Scandal."
I believe this is what Wilder did. And this was Wilder's genius.
Ken Ludwig
An Irish actor turned playwright, Farquhar is most celebrated for two Restoration comedies, The Recruiting Officer (1706) and The Beaux' Stratagem (1707). These plays introduced a more realistic and humanistic approach to comedy that was further developed by Goldsmith and Sheridan. Farquhar's original The Beaux' Stratagem was read as part of the Shakespeare Theatre Company's ReDiscovery Series reading in 2001, while Wilder and Ludwig's adaptation was read as part of the series in 2005.
This famous American author won Pulitzer Prizes in both fiction (The Bridge of San Luis Rey in 1928) and drama (Our Town in 1938 and The Skin of Our Teeth in 1943). He also translated and/or adapted dramas by Ibsen, Sartre, Otto Indig and Andre Obey. In the fall of 1939, at the invitation of producer Cheryl Crawford, Wilder began adapting The Beaux' Stratagem. In early 1940, distracted by the outbreak of war in Europe, he abandoned the project. Wilder had completed about half of the "new" Beaux' at the time. The work is further testimony to Wilder's fascination with farce and comedy as theatrical and literary forms – witness his own The Merchant of Yonkers of 1938 (later The Matchmaker of 1954), his 1935 novel Heaven's My Destination and The Skin of Our Teeth.
An American playwright and director who studied Restoration drama at Cambridge University in the 1970s, Mr. Ludwig is the author of several Broadway and London hits and has won the prestigious Laurence Olivier Award from the Society of West End Theatres, earned two Helen Hayes Awards and received two Tony nominations. Included among his musicals, comedies and adaptations are Lend Me a Tenor (1989), Crazy for You (1992), Moon over Buffalo (1996), The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (2001), Twentieth Century (2004) and Leading Ladies (2004). Ludwig's Shakespeare in Hollywood was commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company, received its world premiere at Arena Stage in September 2003, and won the Helen Hayes Award for Best New Play of the Year. Mr. Ludwig first read the unfinished Beaux' Stratagem in May 2004.

Designing a SCHOOL LOGO
This has to be one of my favourite topic as I am very fond of designing and for me aesthetics really do matter. LOGO for a school is an extremely important sign element. When i look around and see the school logos of the new and upcoming schools I find a lo of them who are getting it designed through established ad agencies or professionals they are doing fantastic job whereas the logos in smaller cities are still as horrible and stuck in time as they have been.
Let us try to understand the schools logos and its element
Now here there are three elements are in play
- Name of the School
- The LOGO or the Design
- The Tag line
Though here all three of them come together to form a logo unit. So what are the considerations one could keep in mind while giving the brief or designing a logo for a school;
- It should not be too intricate
- The reason being the more complex it becomes, it is difficult to create the same on school uniform, socks, belts tie, pens etc
- It should not have gradient colours
- The idea (most of the time) should be to avoid gradients in the type face or the design, since it is difficult
- Should be proportionate in dimensions
- Now a days a logo is required to be used across various mediums in which the internet features strongly. Try creating a logo which is proportionate in size and is clear even when made into a 10kb or a 15kb file.
I believe the logos like Books, Graduation caps, pens, pencils, nibs, kids flying with their hands in the air etc are done to death, try new elements.

Spotted! Winners brings big deals to the streets
The retailer is hiding larger-than-life items across Quebec for a social media-based scavenger hunt.
Winners is bringing its larger-than-life deal campaign to the streets of Quebec with a new social media-based scavenger hunt.
With work by John St., Smak and the Konrad Group, the campaign, which launched yesterday, has seven-foot tall shoes, jackets and handbags hidden in locations across Quebec. Hints to find the items are posted to the company's Facebook page, geo-targeted to Quebec, as well as to the event microsite at Findbigscorebig.com.
Fans who find the items are asked to take a photo of the installation and upload it to Twitter or Instagram with the custom hashtag found at the location. The first three to upload a photo at each site will win a designer item valued at up to $1,000, with the next 25 people getting a $25 Winners gift card.
The campaign, which is also being supported by radio and TV spots in Quebec with work by MediaCom, will run until Sept. 24, with a total of 38 installations being hidden in 26 cities across the province by the time the contest has wrapped up.
Stephen Jurisic, creative director at John St., tells MiC the stunt has the potential to move to other markets but started in Quebec because Winners already has a large fashionista following there.

Can you program Honeywell alarm panels from the keypad?
Honeywell alarm control panels can be programmed from the alarm keypad. While most keypads can be used, Alphanumeric keypads are recommended for programming, especially if you intend to use advanced features, or submenus, such as (*56) zone programming. Fixed English keypads, such as the Honeywell 6150 cannot provide the same level of feedback as alphanumeric keypads such as the 6160, and therefore you can make accidental changes to the programming of your alarm system, potentially compromising your security. You can enter programming mode on most Honeywell systems by pressing your four-digit installer code and then [800] on your keypad.

We keep getting an annoying chime on our Honeywell 6151 and it says chime batt. What do we need to do to get this to stop?
Our pleasure Dustin! We will get you the battery ASAP.
Ok - thank you. Just ordered this battery from you guys. I appreciate the advice!
Hi Dustin, Unfortunately, there is no way to disable the low battery supervision. I would recommend you simply add a battery like the one at https://www.alarmgrid.com/products/ultratech-1240 to get the message to stop.
Sorry - I should have mentioned I have the Vista 21ip with 6162RF keypad. Thank you -
My system works great so far, except it always says there is a System Low Battery. I did not attach a backup battery as I don't need one (whole house backup). This low battery issue also shows on my Tuxedo Touch too and it is very annoying. Is there a way to disable this 'system low battery' check? Thank you!

Tindrer (which hopefully means "twinkling" in Norwegian--thanks Google Translate) is now available for purchase on Ravelry and Craftsy.
This was a fun hat to design. It's fairly easy to knit--only 2 colors and you can work the lice pattern between the stars and the crown decreases on auto-pilot. i have my suspicions that this design would look awesome with a self-striping yarn like noro silk garden sock. i wish i had time to knit another sample.
The pattern comes in 3 adult sizes. I'm wearing the small and it fits very snuggly. If you have an average-sized head and prefer a looser fit, i'd go with the medium.
This hat is officially Daisy approved. She was so good during the photo shoot for Tindrer and Confection. She mostly sat patiently by our stuff, waiting for us to be done with the crazy camera. More pictures are here. The Erie Canal makes for a great setting this time of year.
If you aren't knit-inclined, the sample for Tindrer is in my shop.

In the past two weeks the German founder of an international porn distribution company was convicted of tax evasion stemming from charges he had not paid taxes on $100 million in profits, while Reuters reported that American authorities declined to investigate $327,000 in political contributions given by his old company to a political referendum in the US.
For conservatives the ramifications are scary.
Now that the current management of the company, Manwin International SARL, knows they will not even be questioned in connections with hundreds of thousands of dollars to a local referendum in the U.S., what is to stop them from dedicating millions of dollars to defeat any socially conservative candidate who has concerns such as pornography being readily available to children?
The founder, Fabian Thylmann, gave up the company after being charged back in 2013. He wrote to his successors that, "I hope I have taught all of you and management the right values to be able to continue the company in the best possible way and I am looking forward to following its development," according to XBIZ.com.
In a follow-up story last month Xbiz.com reported he had been convicted just a few days before Reuters reported that the gridlocked Federal Election Commission could not come to agreement on even investigating the $327,000.
Maybe I'm extra sensitive because I spent most of my life working with social conservatives – from my conservative Catholic High School in Virginia, to Marquette Students for Life in Wisconsin, to working to stop gambling from coming to Alabama.
But even if you are a conservative libertarian and do not share the pro-life, anti-gambling and anti-pornography views I share with social conservatives – are you comfortable with a precedent of hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign money potentially flooding into US elections? Do you really want foreign money to start to influence the government to pick winners and losers if that means preferring a foreign company over a US company? What about the impact of foreign dollars on national security issues?
As conservatives, we cannot continue to dismiss any attempt to change or enforce campaign finance laws as a "liberal" cause. There are in fact liberal campaign finance solutions we should not support.
We must be willing to admit there is a problem and working to ENCOURAGE more small contributions from citizens through approaches such as a tax credit, while working to STOP the influence of foreign dollars should be priorities for conservatives.
John Pudner is Executive Director of Take Back Our Republic, a group focusing on conservative solutions to campaign finance. The group is sponsoring a panel on foreign contributions and national security on May 18 at 2:30 p.m. at the National Press Club.

Apart from the day to day common sicknesses patients have been seen suffering from certain disorders which have not ruins one's life but at times also makes them pay their innocent lives. The dangerous ones are those few whose treatments are as rare as the abnormality. Down below is a list of top ten rarest diseases that have been diagnosed in one among millions.

1. Smallpox
Smallpox is the rarest disease caused by either of the two variants – Variola major and Variola minor. It is also known by the Latin name, Variola or Variola vera which means spotted. It is believed that smallpox was recognised as early as 10,000 BC. High fever, fatigue, and a rash with flat red sores over the body are its symptoms. Due to immunization throughout the glob it is said to be eradicated.
2. Dercum's Disease
Occurring just below the skin mainly on the upper legs, upper arms and trunks; Dercum's Disease is one of the rare diseases that is accompanied by several painful lipomas, weakness, irritability and depression. Since the cause of the ailment is unknown till date, its diagnosis is carried out based on the physical findings and history of the patient. Affecting adults, it occurs in women more as compared to men.
3. Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria
Progeria also known as Hutchinson–Gilford Progeria Syndrome is the third rarest disease due to genetic disorder with symptoms of ageing at an early age. The disorder has very low incidences and occurs in an estimated 1 per 8 million live births.
4. Fields' Disease
With only two cases diagnosed, Field's disease is another such an ailment which is listed in the records of most rare disease. Named after two twins, Catherine and Kirstie Fields from Wales it is a neuromuscular sickness exhibiting muscular degeneration. The extent of the disease is yet to find out as the twins are still alive, in their teens.
5. Fibro Dysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP)
Sometimes referred to as Stone Man Syndrome, Fibro dysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a disease of the connective tissue causing mutation of the body. With no known treatment for the illness it affects one in two million people.
6. Fatal Familial Insomnia
Another illness that makes its presence among the list of rare diseases is fatal familial insomnia that is caused either by a mutation to the protein PrPC or by spontaneous development in patients with a non-inherited mutation variant. There is no known cure for this syndrome and worsen conditions by leading to hallucinations, confusional states and delirium. After the onset of the disease, the survival duration of suffers is maximum 18 months.

If not treated during early stage it can lead to heart fails, and cardiovascular disease.
8. Landau Kleffner Syndrome
A rare childhood neurological syndrome, Landau Kleffner syndrome is named after Frank Kleffner and William Landau – who diagnosed it in six children during 1957. Affecting the brain parts that control speech and comprehension, it is basically seen in children in between the age group of 3 and 7. According to experts it is dominant among males and results in loss of language skills and clinical seizures. Speech therapy, medications and corticosteroids are few of the known cures.
9. Paraneoplastic Pemphigus (PNP)
Though there are many types of pemphigus, paraneoplastic pemphigus is the rarest and most severe of all. In pemphigus autoantibodies form against desmoglein which causes blisters and turns them into sores.
10. Alien Hand Syndrome
Regarded as outcomes of stroke, tumour, brain surgery, infection, wrong medication and aneurysm; alien hand syndrome is a neurological disorder where the sufferer's hand starts acting voluntarily without the consent of the person. The disease was first recognised in Germany in 1908 by the Kurt Goldstein, the preeminent German neuro-psychiatrist. Though the condition can be managed and controlled to a certain degree, there is no permanent treatment for it.

The Evening Standard reports that the rule that bans the mentally ill from sitting as MPs is to be relaxed in a shake-up of mental health laws.
An outright bar on MPs "of unsound mind" will be replaced by a test that allows them to carry on so long as they are able to turn up at Westminster. The change would allow politicians suffering severe mental illness to remain in the Commons for years, even if they could not understand debates and were undergoing compulsory treatment in the community. The proposal is part of the draft Mental Health Bill unveiled by Health Secretary John Reid last week. So they are finally making it official.

Title: Trouble From The Start
Author: Rachel Hawthorne
Paperback, 400 pages
Published: April 28th, 2015
Publisher: HarperTeen
Genre: YA - Contemporary - Romance
Avery knows better than to fall for Fletcher, the local bad boy who can't seem to outrun his reputation. Fletcher knows he shouldn't bother with college-bound, daughter-of-a-cop Avery. But when their paths cross, neither can deny the spark. Are they willing to go against everything and let their hearts lead the way? Or are they just flirting with disaster?Trouble from the Start releases simultaneously with companion novel The Boyfriend Project. These heartwarming paperback originals are the perfect summer reads, great for fans of Jennifer Echols, Lauren Barnholdt, and Susane Colasanti.
I probably should start by saying that I'm not a YA contemporary romance kind of girl, I usually prefer drama and pain over fluffiness and romance. That said, I cannot bring myself to dislike this book, not even a little! Is it clichéd? YES. Is it a little bit cheesy? YES. Did I enjoy it regardless? YOU CAN BET!
Trouble From The Start is your usual good girl falls for bad boy story, and it doesn't bring anything new to the table. There were some twists I saw coming a mile away and, of course, it is revealed that Fletcher (a.k.a. bad boy) has a tragic back-story and it's not as bad as his reputation suggests. Add to this the fact that the plot moved at a very slow pace, and you'll understand why it took me a while to get engaged in the story. However, I soon didn't care how many tropes were used, because I loved the characters and wanted to see how they could overcome their differences!
Avery (a.k.a. good girl) is not what you would expect from the heroine of this kind of story. Never was I more wrong than when I was convinced that in most of chick-lit books the girl just thought about the love interest all the time and pined for him until he decided to get his act together and be with her. Avery is such a smart and strong girl who has high expectations for herself. I like that she doesn't feel like she needs to break the rules because she's tired of being a good girl and that she isn't willing to let go of her self-respect to have a on-off relationship with someone who doesn't want to get serious. Fletcher has a rough life, with his mother being dead and his father beating him when he gets drunk, and that's why he's a guy of few words and unwilling to share or trust, with a reputation of getting into brawls and having a different girl every night. The book is written from both Avery's and Fletcher's POV, so you get to understand their thoughts and the reasons behind their actions really well, and I loved watching their romance unfold from both points of view. They really work as a couple and I laughed out loud when they bantered!
One thing that convinced me that this book deserved three stars was the lack of Absent-parent syndrome which seems to be a typical feature of YA lately. Avery's family is amazing and supportive! They are not a dysfunctional family, and I appreciated that for once I got to read about a normal family with two caring parents and a funny adoptive brother without drama. I didn't like Avery's best friend Kendall, though. She was always trying to control Avery's life and always repeating that she had to find someone like Jeremy (Kendall's boyfriend), then she started whining about her boyfriend being too much of a good guy. This is why I'll probably won't read the companion novel, which is about Kendall trying to transform Jeremy into a bad boy.
Overall, I'd say that Trouble From the Start is a fluffy and sweet story and I'd recommend it to fans of YA contemporary romance but also to everyone who needs some lightness and a swoony couple to ship!
Note: I decided to read this book because the synopsis is similar to a Disney channel movie I've recently watched on tv, Prom. To me, Avery and Fletcher have the same features of the main characters of the movie, so if you liked the book and you like Disney channel movies (and I know you won't admit it in public!) I'd suggest watching Prom!

Anyone saw Rouge One yet? I've seen it four times now and I feel like I'm going into this new year like Chirrut chanting "I'm one with the force and the force is with me". I'm already stressing over the spring semester and it hasn't started yet! You know what always helps me feel a little less stressed during the school year? A planner! The only problem is whenever I buy one at the store I never use it. I always would end up just using notebook paper to plan stuff out. Well, to solve this problem, last fall I decided to make my own planner!
I bought a cheap small binder at Target in their dollar section and printed out my own pages to use. I found that the Scattered Squirrel has hands down the best printable planner pages! I also found tons of cheap planner accessories at Target as well! I don't think I paid more than 1 dollar for anything other than my binder which was 3. In total, I think my overall planner only cost me $10 and I use it so much that I beat the first one I made up!
I thought I would go through and share each element of my planner and how I use it to give you some ideas for creating the perfect planner for you!
On the cover of my binder, I attached these two sticky notes. What I love about the weekly/monthly notepad is that it is perfect to log in my workouts! Rather than giving myself a set amount of workouts I must do each week, I find it easier to fill in the days I did work out and then at the end of the month compare how much I actually accomplished.
I also keep a little blank notepad at the front so that I can write something down real quick and then later when I have more time, I can fill it in more detail on a different page. And of course, the binder clip is there in case I ever need to attach something or clip some papers together. I also have paper clips inside my pencil pouch I have on the front page.
My planner begins with my monthly section. Inside of this, I have pages for monthly goals and calendar pages. The monthly goal pages are perfect for me to put down important dates, and really list out my main focuses for the month. I feel that if I put down the information in these pages onto the calendar pages I would never pay much attention. Doctors appointments, deadlines for scholarships, or things I need to pay are typical items for these pages. Oh, and I apologize for my oddly cut page below, it was late when I was cutting these out.
In the calendar pages, I mainly put down events, assignments, and upcoming birthdays. I feel that it's important to remember people's birthdays. One of my new year's resolutions is to write letters for every person birthday I can remember to help them feel important on their special day. Marking them in my planner helps me with that.
The following section in my planner is the Weekly section. This includes pages to help me organize the things I want to accomplish that week (i.e. what to buy, goals, things to do, places to go, and people to see) and daily pages that I typically go into more detail with my week plans on.
The next section is food. Not going to lie, I don't use this section too much during the semester because I typically eat on my campus due to hardly leaving the studio. But during breaks, this page helps me so much! As you can see below, the school week meal plans I provide myself are very vague.
Also in this section is a shopping list for all the items I need to pick up the next time I run to Walmart! Have this in the planner is very helpful when I think of something I need to get randomly in the day.
I'm a poor college kid, so managing what little money I do make is essential! The finance section of my planner helps me with that! I can keep track of what I've spent, my current balance, and how much I should allow for certain items. I highly recommend including a financial section in your planner!
This next section is one of my favorites: Goals. I have pages for both long term and short term goals. I'm always developing new things I want to accomplish and having and organized list of these with descriptions and plans to help me reach these goals is both inspiring to me and helps to keep me focused with life gets me down.
Finally, is my notes section. In this section, I just have blank pages that I use to take notes in my classes or jot down ideas. I love this for school because It allows me to have all my notes and schedule in a uniformed place making it easy for me to refer back to things! And I can doodle when I get bored!
I have an additional zipper pouch in the back where I keep a plethora of planner accessories I may need. These include stickers, cute notepads, colorful pens, and washi tape! These items all help the planner to be more personal and add a touch of fun and life too!
I hope this gives you some ideas of how you want to create your own planner and I hope this year is the best year yet! "Today is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Write a good one".

Jamestown was located in the eastern Virginia on the banks of the James River. The original colony, founded on May 14, 1607, expanded beyond the original fort into a village called New Towne in 1610 following four years of hardships and illness rocking the population.
Upon its founding the colony became known as James Forte, James Towne and James Cittie. The original triangle wooden fort surrounded small houses, a church and a weapons storehouse. Roughly 40 crew members and 100 settlers founded the first colony, but within three years most of the crew returned to England, and the majority of the settlers died. In 1610, 150 more settlers arrived with fresh supplies just as the original settlers considered abandoning the fort.

Letters to the Editor
'Recycle an old idea'
Reading my Voter Information Guide, I was astounded how politics can make even a noble idea an excuse for spending millions of dollars.
While I am all for breathing cleaner air, reducing our dependence on foreign oil and looking for viable "green" alternatives, why can't we look at simple, existing options first? When the used car we bought in Europe last year cost more than $100 to fill up, we simply spent an extra couple of hundred dollars to convert it to use a mixture of propane and butane.
We cut our spending at the pump by 55% and even reduced our emissions. Our savings outweighed the expense in just a few tanks!
This idea is nothing new. Cars running on this mixture have been in existence for more than 20 years in Europe. Perhaps our first step in being energy conscious is to recycle an old idea.

Natural Beauty: The New Foundation I've Been Wearing and Loving/
Way back in January I did a discussion post on natural beauty products and my desire to start changing the way I buy makeup. I was on the hunt for skincare and makeup products that were free of parabens, fillers or any other synthetic materials. After I wrote that post I went to a local natural beauty store and got matched with RMS and Jane Iredale foundations. I felt like I was getting more coverage from the Jane Iredale BB cream so I decided that when I ran out of my current foundation I would make the switch. Well, I'm happy to report that it's now September and I finally using my new foundation!
At the end of August I ran out of my Bare Minerals foundation, which apparently lasted me a lot longer than I anticipated! My reason for switching isn't because I was unhappy with the product--Bare Minerals was actually the first foundation I had ever used after being mesmerized by the infomercial I watched with my mom when I was in elementary school. It's a product that I've worn for a very long time, but this year I have been wanting to switch things up and try the all-natural route.
I had always heard wonderful things about Jane Iredale's products and how they are non-GMO, free of synthetic fragrances and only use ingredients from nature. I've been wearing the Glow Time Full Coverage Mineral BB Cream and love how smooth it goes on! I feel like the product enhances my complexion without feeling like I'm caking on product and wearing a mask. I definitely prefer a more natural makeup look anyway so this product is suitable for that. I also love that it has SPF 25 which is something we need here in Arizona! I mean, I'm inside pretty much all day but it's nice to know I'm still protected :) And a little bit goes a long way--I watched this application video and it's amazing how such a small amount can give you all day coverage.
I'm very eager to try more Jane Iredale products after having success with this one! The highlighter, eye concealer, and lash conditioner are on my list of things to try, hopefully before the year is over! I'll keep you posted as I test out new products, and with the onset of cooler weather I'll be changing up my routine slightly to keep my skin hydrated. xo

"Schoooooool's out…for summmah!" (Man, remember when parents thought Alice Cooper was dangerous? A bad influence? Pffft. Today, he'd be considered an angel.)
Anyhoodle… it's officially summer break for us. And I am really enjoying not barking at my kids "GET DRESSED! WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE!!!" every morning. And while I'm still giving Haley some math and language worksheets to do, there's certainly not that horrendous load of homework due anymore.
I thought I might dread having to keep them occupied all day, but I must admit, I'm slightly smitten with my offspring right now. I remember friends with older kids used to say, "6 and 4 are good ages." I'm there now. And they were right. So to all you parents who have 2 and 3 year olds, there is light at the end of the tunnel. I promise.
We're spending boat loads of time riding bikes, swimming, and playing in the yard. I'm taking care of them and my 3rd child (no, not Paul) – my garden! I've had so many sugar snap peas, and now my cherry tomatoes and jalapenos are coming in. Whenever I see a new flower bud, it's like Christmas!
Along with the fruits and veggies, my herbs are insane. I have more basil than I know what to do with. And you know what that means, right? Pesto.
I've had this tart bookmarked forever and I finally made it. It was wonderful. Fresh, light, beautiful, and delicious.
Tomato and Basil Tart
Serves 4-6
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 35 minutes
• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 1 egg, beaten
• 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3 tablespoons pesto sauce
• 1-2 tablespoons milk
• 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
• 4-5 large fresh basil leaves, torn or chopped
• salt and pepper
• extra virgin olive oil
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with cooking spray. Unfold the pastry on a lightly floured surface and transfer to the baking sheet.
Brush entire pastry with egg wash. Pierce pastry several times with fork. Bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and gently lift pastry to a rack to cool off a bit. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
In a small mixing bowl combine cream cheese and pesto. Add a tablespoon of the milk at a time and determine whether you need to use both – you want the mixture to be loose, but not runny. Mix well. Spread cream cheese mixture carefully over bottom of pastry, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Arrange tomato slices, overlapping on top of cream cheese mixture. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until tart has set up and there are no visible juices. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with basil. Serve hot or at room temperature.

text: Sam Posted March 12, 2007 One don't ever talk about filing for disability with a employer unless you aks for accomdations for work. I had made this mistake and lost my current job and I really like it alot. The reason why I said something is that I should be hearing something by the end of the month, plus as some of you all know I am an honest person. Last week I had talked with my boss about me filing for disability and said that I would still work for him plus I would need my pay cut. He said to me that we would work this out when the time comes. Then On Wednesday I started not feeling good and I left early, we had everything ready for Thursday patients and there was three of us there at the office. So I wasn't leaving anyone short. Well on my way home I started getting sick and that evening was just awful vomiting and direahea, So I had called the boss( doctor) to let him know I was sick and would not be in on Thursday. Again I was not leaving them short at the office. We need two people there and there would of been the threee of us. Well thursday morning I wasn't feeling any better but the vomiting and direahea stop but I could breath and my chest ws hurting a bit, Well I had made an doctor's appointment and he told me that I had an upper respirtory infection. He gave me a script and a note for the doctor to excuse me for that day. I had gone into work on Friday since we didn't have any patients to help get things ready for this week. Which we did in four hours. On friday's we only work until 1:00. Well on my way home around 2:00 and 2:30 the doctor called and said that it wsnt working out, I said what isnt working out. He said the girl said that I just wasn't getting it. I said getting what? He said the job. My job consitis of billing and coding and insurnace claims. Which I was trained for in School and greaduated with a a 3.96, well I had hung up on him, I was really upset and plus I was drining at the time of the call. I had called the lady tht was training me to see if she knew anything and she didn't. She said it was probably becasue I had missed work on thursday. And that she is really upset, she said finally we get the help we need and someone who can do the job and he lets you go. She also mentioned that she might quit her job because of it. I told her not to do anything rash. So ther is a lesson to be learn from this. Well take care, Sam Quote Sam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress
Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress in North Carolina
In Gardner v. Gardner the plaintiff mother brought suit against the defendant father who drove his truck into a bridge abutment. Their son was fatally injured in the wreck.
Plaintiff, who was several miles away from the site of the accident, was notified by telephone and went to the hospital. About five minutes after she arrived, she saw her son taken into the emergency room and watched emergency personnel attempt to resuscitate him. The boy was taken to a treatment room and she went to a private waiting room, where, after being advised periodically of his condition, she was later told that he had died. The parties to the action stipulated that the emotional distress she suffered as a result of these events was severe.
The Supreme Court held that severe emotional distress, as defined by Ruark, was not reasonably foreseeable. There was no allegation or forecast of evidence that defendant knew the plaintiff was likely to suffer an emotional disorder or a severe and disabling emotional or mental condition as a consequence of his negligence. Such knowledge is essential in order to hold that the emotional distress for which the plaintiff sought recovery was reasonably foreseeable. The Court also pointed out that the plaintiff was not physically present at the scene of the accident, did not observe the negligent act of the defendant or immediately experience the collision or witness the injuries to her son.
In Andersen v. Baccus, a husband sued for negligent infliction of emotional distress when his pregnant wife was injured in a car wreck, gave birth to a stillborn son the next day, and subsequently died from her injuries. Based on the reasoning in Sorrells and Gardner, the Supreme Court held that defendant was entitled to a judgment as a matter of law on the issue of foreseeability.
In Hickman By and Through Womble v. McKoin, the Supreme Court, synthesizing Gardner and Sorrells as applications of Ruark, stated that an allegation of a parent-child relationship is insufficient to establish reasonable foreseeability of emotional distress. Thus, the Court pointed out that since under Gardner and Sorrells the parent-child relationship was insufficient when the parent sued for emotional distress because of injury to a child, the same result followed when the child sued for injury to the parent.
In McAllister v. Ha, the plaintiffs alleged that the wife became pregnant and gave birth to a child that had sickle cell disease as a result of defendant's negligent failure to inform them of the results of certain blood tests administered to plaintiffs. The court held that the plaintiffs' allegations of the wife's fears regarding their child's health and her resultant sleeplessness, ''while sparse,'' were sufficient to state a claim.
Prior to Ruark, the courts had allowed recovery for certain kinds of negligence where there is ''an especial likelihood of genuine and serious mental distress ... which serve[s] as a guarantee that the claim is not spurious.'' Among these are the negligent delivery of messages, especially those announcing a death, the delivery of which the carrier should know would result in mental anguish for the recipient, and the negligent embalming, mishandling, or mutilation of corpses.
In Butz v. Holder, plaintiffs, the parents and a brother of a bicyclist killed by a negligent motorist, sued to recover for emotional distress after seeing the deceased covered in sleeping bag at scene of the accident.
The mother had sought psychological and psychiatric care for emotional distress suffered, and the father developed high blood pressure and was put on medication in addition to psychological treatment as a result of the accident. The Court of Appeals held that in light of the Supreme Court's decisions in Sorrells and Gardner, the parent's severe emotional distress was not a reasonably foreseeable result of the negligent conduct of the defendant. Moreover, the Court of Appeals suggested that the meaning of Gardner was that plaintiffs claiming negligent infliction of severe emotional distress must allege and forecast in their evidence that the defendant knew the plaintiff or plaintiffs were susceptible to emotional or mental disorders or other disabling emotional or mental conditions as a result of defendant's conduct. Thus, the Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court, which had granted summary judgment for the defendant.

I was just having this chat with my colleague about upgrading his DSLR camera. His camera is clunky and inconvenient to carry around. Nowadays cameras have advanced so much. How about getting a camera like mine? For all purpose and intent, I've got a pretty good camera you know. It features Carl Zeiss optics and Tessar lens, complemented by autofocus system, macro shooting, 8 scene modes, built-in flash with red-eye reduction, and produces high quality 5 megapixel images that make for superb 4R photo prints. It also captures full VGA resolution video at 30fps in MPEG4 format. It is tinier than most compact cameras.
My camera also has lots of other bells and whistles. It comes with bluetooth, which allows me to very easily transfer my photos to a PictBridge compatible printer. This is really very convenient. In fact, it also has other wireless data transfer capabilities such as InfraRed and 802.11b/g Wireless LAN support. I can sync my freshly taken photos directly with Flickr and a variety of online photo sharing websites. Built-in GPS features also let me geo-tag the photos taken.
The wireless network capabilities make this camera gadget really powerful. Included in the built-in software are applications like a full-fledge web browser. Yes, wireless web-surfing with from this little gadget. In fact, it has a whole lot more things: appointment scheduler, address book, VOIP internet phone client, MSN Messenger client, etc.
Okay, if you still haven't gotten a sense of where I'm headed… here's a big clue about what my camera gadget is: It also features quad-band GSM with UMTS/HSDPA capabilities, so that I can even make phone calls and video calls with this thing.
Have you gotten it yet? It's a camera phone actually. More specifically, my Nokia N95 8GB.
Yes, camera phones like the Nokia N95 8GB does work pretty well as a camera. In fact, I like it so much more than a DSLR or even a compact camera because a camera phone is always with me, always on-hand to take photos at a moment's notice.
Camera phones don't yet have the speed, image quality, flash lighting capability, lens flexibility and other accessories to match the big DSLR cameras. But how useful is a camera if it is not there when you need to take a photo?
The camera phone has also become quite indispensable at work. I think companies should probably buy camera phones for their employees, or pay/subsidize one that they employee buys, much like how many companies give their employees notebook computers. I find myself taking lots of photos for work related purposes: capture evidence of work done, or work not done, or violation or infringing work, etc. Sometimes it is to just capture images for asset tags, serial numbers, etc, so that I can batch compile them later. How about photographing all the nonsense scribbled on a whiteboard during a meeting for later transcription? Photographing or video recording an activity to document a "situation" for reporting? Documenting the "before" and "after" of an activity? There's a whole lot of work-related need for a camera phone eh!

Justin Bieber Headed To NYC For Fashion's Night Out — But Will Selena Gomez Join Him?
Justin is on a plane right now headed to the Big Apple and we know exactly where you'll be able to find him!
Justin Bieber not only has swagger, he has fashion sense! The 17-year-old popstar has kept us all guessing as to whether he would attend NYC Fashion Week and now we have our answer!
Justin took to his Twitter bright and early on Sept. 8 to tell his over 12 million followers: "Packing up for NYC in the morning. going to support @pencilsofpromis and @dolcegabbana for Fashion Night Out."
Justin later continued: "NYC…Fashion Night Out…LEGGO! @kennyhamilton is sleeping on the plane. #theusual."
We know that Justin will be at the Dolce & Gabbana store on Madison Avenue starting at 6pm for their Passion Duos celebration. All of the proceeds from tonight's event go to Pencils of Promise, an organization started by Justin's manager Scooter Braun's brother. Justin has been a long-time supporter of this charity which helps kids all over the world get school supplies.
We told you that we thought the happy couple would attend the NYC festivities together since their schedules mesh this week. Now that his girlfriend Selena Gomez has a Dream Out Loud line at K-Mart — it makes perfect sense for her to mingle with other fashionistas!
Even though Jelena didn't fly out together, there's still time for these two to connect in NYC!

Good Morning to you all. Well another week has passed and the days are starting to get longer and warmer, which is a blessing that's for sure. As you are aware I have been pretty busy with some intense stuff away from work, and I do find it a little difficult to get this out to you regularly, so thank you for your patience. The images this week are starting to change a bit from the norm, as I wander through the web I find myself in some strange places and I hope that the images that I bring you are of interest in some way. Check out the black and white images of the chinese people. Whats amazing about these images is that they are drawn with pencil, not photographs. You could be fooled into thinking that they photos, but no. I've said this before I am constantly amazed at the endless stream of talent that some people have and this little selection is awe inspiring to say the least. There's also a lot of travel images this week, as I sit here in my tower I find my thoughts tend to drift of to overseas places and spaces, so there is always room for this in the blog. Anyway thank you for your messages of support I do appreciate that, and here's this weeks blog for you all to enjoy.
This is a really nice house built from Containers, how smart is this.

9's and 1's, such as 991 or 919 – A new door has opened for you as a product of your thoughts. You have the opportunity to stare your thoughts in the face and come eye-to-eye with your own creations. Let the old fall away, as it is replaced with the new in accordance with your desires.
9's and 2's, such as 992 or 922 – If you've recently suffered a loss (job, lover, etc.), expect it to be replaced in the very near future. Everything is working in your favor, although there may be so much behind-scenes activity involved that you wonder if God has forgotten you. Worry not! Feel the energy of your life, which is moving forward right now. You are not being punished by your recent loss. The universe is, instead, preparing you for newness.
9's and 3's, such as 993 or 939 – This is a strong message to let go of situations in your life that aren't in integrity or that have served their purpose. Do not artificially hang on to situations because of fear. Know that each and every moment you are taken care of. It is vital that you hold a positive viewpoint about yourself and your future. This viewpoint actually creates what you experience, so ask the masters to help you choose your thoughts from the high point of love.
9's and 4's, such as 994 or 944 – The angels say to you that it is time to let go of a situation that has ended. They remind you that, as one door closes, another opens. The angels are certainly helping you to open new doors and to heal from any pain that accompanies the transition that you are now undergoing. Please ask your angels to help you have faith that these endings and beginnings are answers to your prayers.
9's and 5's, such as 959 or 995 – In order for the new change to manifest, it's important to release the past. This number sequence asks you to let go of the old and know that it served a vital function during its time. However, life is fluid and change is inevitable. Know that the new is standing at your doorway, waiting for you to let it in. You invite the new in as you detach with love from the old.
9's and 6's, such as 966 or 996 – Detach from your material items, especially if you have had any obsession with any particular type of material possession. This number sequence asks you to let go and detach. Also, this is a message that something in your life is about to be replaced with something better. Be open to receiving new possessions that exceed your expectations, as you are ready to be upgraded. You deserve the best!
9's and 7's, such as 977 or 997 – Congratulations! You are shedding old parts of your life that no longer fit who you are. You are living a more authentic life that is in integrity with your highest view of yourself. This number sequence applauds your decisions to live honestly.
9's and 8's, such as 998 or 988 – Some significant phase in your life has come to an end, bringing with it other events that will also end in a domino effect. Like a train coming to the end of the line, one car will stop while the following train cars will take a moment to slow down before stopping. This number sequence is a message that you are going through a chain of events, where many parts of your life are slowing and stopping. Worry not, though, because these changes are necessary for new sequences and circumstances to begin for you.
9's and 0's, such as 900 or 909 – This is a message from your Creator signifying that the part of your life that has just ended is Divinely guided. Nothing is ever truly lost. There is no death, and there are no accidents. Your recent life change, in which a significant part of your life has been halted or altered, is actually an answer to your prayer. God is letting you know that He is not taking anything away from you or "causing" your loss. Rather, your life plan or prayers called this life change to you, through your own God-given power. Be willing to forgive everyone involved so that you can be light and free as you enter into a beautiful new phase of life.

If salads could sing, mine would sound like a Mozart sonata. Infused with joy, my salads are lifesavers lifting me from a sea of sadness. These cheerful creations get me focused on something other than my loss. They help anchor me to a community of friends.
It started out years ago when I was part of a small foodie group that made the rounds of regional restaurants and got together Saturday nights to cook what we'd toast as "the best food in Ithaca tonight." The others in the group were much more accomplished cooks than I. So each week my contribution was the salad. Not too much stress; if I botched the salad, there was always an appetizer, a main course, the cheese course, and two desserts. We wouldn't go hungry. Salads became my specialty.
"What can I bring?" I ask now when invited to dinner. Almost always I hear, "Can you make a salad?" And most of the time, based on the individuals, the season, and the main dish or theme of the dinner, I get an immediate idea for the conglomeration I will build.
Making salad for friends is almost a ritual: spreading a blanket of greens, chopping on the ancient cutting board, mixing in pomegranates, pistachios, sugar snap peas, or florets of Romanesco broccoli. Into the bright concoction I throw cheeses, nuts, legumes, seafood, fruit, … sometimes even edible flowers. I top each bowl with something beautiful, like splashes of yellow bell peppers, confetti of red cabbage, a snowfall of scallion, roasted cubes of sweet potato.
My salads are celebrations of the sweet and savory, colors and crunch, local ingredients and exotic delicacies. And of the world that is ever turning, to which I still belong despite my grief. When you dive into my gift, the bowl that brims over in greens and gratitude, maybe you can tell: each toss is a song of love for those who have seen me through hard times.
How do you take care of the ones who take care of you? What do you put into your favorite salads?

Resignation by Thank You Note
Last week a friend gave me a valuable lesson on how to think of a resignation letter. She told me she was blocked when she sat down to write a resignation letter that would declare her intention of leaving, give the required notice, yet also assure that she didn't burn any bridges on the way out. Some advice from her sister saved the day. Think of it as writing a thank you note, her sister suggested. The moment my friend adopted that mindset, the words began to flow. She thanked her boss for all that she learned while at the same time explaining it was time to move on.

Confession: I don't really like beans. I'm sorry, I should love them and theoretically I do, they are cheap and healthy but the taste? It just doesn't... excite me. So I put off making this last set of beans because, well who wants to make something they don't really want to eat.
I was right about them, sort of. When I first made them, they weren't great. They weren't bad per se, but they weren't changing my world because they are beans. Beans are like plain white rice, sometimes they are comforting and sometimes they are just there waiting for something to happen.
In this case "what happened" was leftover hot sausage from a barbecue and a healthy dose of cilantro. Suddenly I couldn't get enough and I swear that my beans started posing for the photos. You can practically see them "smizing".

The larger an event becomes, the more tedious it can be to handle and this can put a strain on you, the event creator. But you don't have to tackle this alone. When you create an event, you can assign other users as organizers of the event. These users will be able to perform the same functions as you. You can assign as many organizers as you need and they can help you manage your event.
You can also assign people as specific event contacts. For example, you can assign someone as an emergency contact, another person as a hotel contact and someone else as a media contact for your event. This will help take some additional load off your shoulders.
So whether you have an event of 10 attendees or 100 attendees, you can assign as many organizers and contacts as you need to help make sure that everything runs smoothly.

John D Wood
A client testimonial video that also serves as a useful area guide for Chelsea.
Getting clients on camera talking positively about your brand and their customer service experience is hugely powerful. John D Wood have produced a number of these videos with TMC. Focusing on specific areas around London, they also use the videos to guide clients on what it is like to live in an area – in this case Chelsea.
Chelsea, London
Established in 1872, John D Wood is one of London's most respected estate agents. TMC were commissioned to produce a series of videos that focus on their various branch locations throughout London. Chelsea is one of a series and will be followed by the remaining branch network in line with their planned refurbishments. The brief for this video production was to capture the essence of Chelsea and what it is like to live there.
Without interviewing any sales staff or managers we developed the authenticity of the brand by interviewing two clients who lived in the area – one lettings and one sales. The clients shared their experience of living in Chelsea whilst explaining how John D Wood have helped them to successfully buy, sell and rent properties in the location.
We filmed the branch, Chelsea and the interviews over one day. As with all our video production projects we worked with the client beforehand to establish the message, tone of voice and key objectives. We then developed the interview questions and created a storyboard for sign off.
The video production has been very well received and is embedded on the John D Wood website under the Chelsea location. These kind of client testimonial videos are highly effective for our clients as they subtly sell their message whilst giving their potential customers value added information and peace of mind. It's all about delivering great content and this video production does that exceptionally well.
