Press Release
BIM Adoption Expands from 17% in 2007 to over 70% in 2012, According to New McGraw-Hill Construction Report
NEW YORK – January 31, 2013 – According to its latest SmartMarket Report, "The Business Value of BIM in North America: Multi-Year Trend Analysis and User Ratings (2007–2012)," produced by McGraw-Hill Construction, BIM adoption expanded from 17% in 2007 to 71% in 2012, demonstrating impressive growth despite the recent economic pressures.
"Though it may seem counterintuitive to increase spending during a recession, the research indicates that the industry is continuing to invest in a more efficient and productive future by embracing technologies and processes of BIM," said Stephen Jones, senior director at McGraw-Hill Construction and research director of the report.
"The results of the survey validate many key trends we are seeing in North America — notably, the strong growth of BIM in construction and adoption amongst owners, architects and engineers," said Phil Bernstein, vice president, strategic industry relations at Autodesk. "The results also point to the increased business benefits that all users derived from using BIM, such as better profits, more accurate documentation, less rework, reduced project duration, fewer claims and the ability to offer new services."
The report states that owners are becoming an important driving force to this increased adoption. Patrick MacLeamy, CEO of HOK and chairman of buildingSMART International, predicted, "Over the next ten years, building owners will demand ever-increasing usage of BIM as a precondition, ushering in a new era of accuracy, quality and sophistication for the building industry."
As a way to quantify users' level of commitment to BIM, McGraw-Hill Construction developed a BIM Engagement Index, calculated from each BIM user's skill level, years of BIM experience, and percentage their projects that use BIM. McGraw-Hill Construction found that:
BIM, an innovative approach to design and construction for pioneering early adopters just a few years ago, is now taking its place firmly in the mainstream of the North American construction industry.
"McGraw-Hill's SmartMarket Report series on the Business Value of BIM has provided the industry with relevant research and metrics on BIM adoption and return on investment," said Mike Ozatalar, vice president and manager of Engineering, Parsons. "Parsons is proud to be a sponsor of this report and continues to provide contributions in the engineering and construction industry in BIM and integrated design and delivery solutions."

I grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., in a very dysfunctional household. My mother was not the best role model for me. My parents divorced when I was about five. I was very shy all throughout my school years. I thought that I would never amount to much in my life. I always felt lost. All I knew was what I had lived.
By the time I was 19, I was tired of the rut I felt like I was in. I was ready to get out of my shell and move away from that environment. I was pretty much depressed about where my life was going. My father had wanted me to join the army, and, a lot of my friends were joining the army, so I thought it would be a way out for me. I wasn't prepared for what was in store for me.
Once I joined the military and arrived at basic training, I was terrified. I didn't think that I was going to make it through. I kept saying to myself that it was too hard. I was scared of failing and not being able to get past my fears.
As I went through the training, I was surprised at what I was able to do. I was able to run the distance, fire a variety of weapons, road march 12 miles, adapt to diverse situations, and so many more things that make me very proud.
The military was both mentally and physically exhausting, but I handled all these tough situations and events that I thought at one time were too hard for me. Who would have thought that I, a shy girl from Brooklyn, would be able to accomplish this? I found out a lot about myself back then. I was a lot stronger than I thought I was.
I learned to challenge myself in every aspect of my life, whether physically or mentally. I am now able to work in the corporate environment using my military skills. The military gave me a confidence about myself that I never knew I had. I am able to work in the corporate world using my discipline and my work ethic to get the job done to the best of my ability.
We always had to work together to accomplish a mission in the army. I was able to meet many people with different personalities and from various cultures. I learned how to approach different types of people. I was able to trust and rely on my fellow soldiers, and it was a good feeling to know that my buddy had my back in whatever situation I went through. We went through it together.
I was a medic in the army. It was such an amazing experience for me. I learned how to practice many different medical procedures and how to work in emergency situations. This experience has helped me adapt to being under pressure and with multi-tasking. I worked in a hospital setting and in the field setting as well. I enjoyed being a medic because I was able to help people who were physically sick and make them feel better. I loved the feeling of being able help those who were hurting.
In the military, I learned not to take the simple things in life for granted. There were so many things I would normally do at home, which I was not able to do in the military. Simple things, like taking a warm shower every day, were just not available all the time. I was not able to see my family every day or allowed to just leave and go home. Basically, I was in the hands of my superiors. So, now I appreciate just living my life and "smelling the roses." It is just so important to me now to be able to sit back and see this wonderful world and all its incredible beauty.
Now that I am in the corporate world, I have learned to appreciate my job and my co-workers. I am able to communicate effectively with the people around me because of my military experience.
I chose to work at Accenture because of the company's experience with hiring people from the military and the welcoming environment. Accenture works with the military community in many different areas. We are involved in USO Operation Phone Home and in supporting military spouses with information and resources to help them better understand policies and make their transitions easier. I just attended a suicide prevention workshop to better understand and help military soldiers work through their fears and issues and to see the red flags of a soldier who is suicidal.
I am also able to have a challenging job to keep me going and engaged. Accenture is a global professional services company that deals with a variety of clients. My job requires a lot of multi-tasking. Basically, what I do is mediate between suppliers and our clients to get the best pricing possible on different types of materials and parts for space-related items.
Being in the military has prepared me for the challenges of the corporate world and different types of jobs. I learned to adapt to a variety of situations very well. I believe that if I was able to get through the challenges that I faced in the military, then I can get through anything in life and accomplish it!
The advice that I would give to women transitioning from the military to the corporate world is to use what you have learned in the military. The training that you have learned will apply to the things that you do today. You will be amazed at what you can do when you put your mind in it completely. People in the military have to deal with mentally and physically demanding situations every day. Soldiers can handle anything they face with motivation and discipline. I am very proud to have been a part of the military.

Every year, thousands of people set off on the path to find their ancestors. They search for the names, dates, and places they need to complete their family trees and family group sheets. Many get to experience the excitement of entering some piece of newly discovered information when their search is successful.
But, filling in the blanks on the charts is only one step. Our ancestors were more than names and dates. They were real people with full lives. Reaching beyond the basic statistics can help us understand their lives better, learn more about history, and often find a source of inspiration for our own lives. It can also be a lot of fun.
The goal of this site is not to help you find your ancestors' names (although the Records section does contain a lot of how-to information). Instead, this site's goal is to help you understand your ancestors' lives – particularly those who lived in the 1700 and 1800s in Western Europe. For grandparents and even great-grandparents, you can often learn quite a bit about their lives by talking to people who knew them. However, once you get back several generations, the task becomes more involved. In most cases, the only evidence of these ancestors that survives is names and dates in basic records.
Despite the lack of detail about your ancestors individually, there is a lot of information that can help you understand your ancestors' lives. By accessing this, you can gain important insights into their daily routines and most important life events. To find this information you have to do two things: first, look deeper into the records and second, look beyond your ancestor. I hope this site can help you do both of these.
The website focuses on the experiences of ancestors from Western Europe. Many of the topics describe the events and circumstances of peasants (the group into which the huge majority of our ancestors fell) in this area. Specific sections provide a more in-depth look at lives of the common people from Mecklenburg, Germany; Skåne, Sweden; and Buckinghamshire, England. Those with ancestors from these three countries but not these specific localities will probably find much of use here as well.
Another section follows the experiences of Immigrant Ancestors coming across the ocean and then continuing on the overland trail system. Finally, this site has a Records section with suggestions on certain types of records to use to learn about your ancestors specifically as well as how to get as much information as possible out of the basic sources. I will continue to add more information in this section, so keep checking back. In the "Useful Sources and Links" page of each section, you'll find an annotated list of the sources I used to compile the information in that section as well as some useful websites which will help you extend your research further.
This, of course, isn't a comprehensive guide to everything you ever needed to know about your ancestors. It's a continually growing site that has resulted mostly as a by-product of my writing. As you can see in my "List of Publications," I've published a number of familyhistory and history focused articles in magazines and journals. Much of the "how-to" focused information on the site comes from these articles. Also, I have spent thousands of hours researching my narrative nonfiction book entitled The Journey Takers, which seeks to tell the Western European immigration experience. I wanted to share some of the information I have gathered with the hope it could shed light on other people's families as well.
As I have learned more about the circumstances of my ancestors' lives, I have been rewarded greatly. For one thing, these insights have helped me trace my family more effectively. But, the information I've found has done more than this. Learning about my ancestors' lives has made my genealogy research and the people whose names I add to my family tree more meaningful to me and to other family members with whom I share the information. I know it can do the same for you.
Good luck!

This is the story of the Sankofa child, whose Nia, or purpose, is to provide balance for the world of ImBalynce.
Those who live in this world have heard the story, but many dismiss it as a myth.
Stories of good and evil, a savior's battle with a destructor, have been floating around since before The Shattering nearly 3,000 years ago. That was when the ancient land known as Ngona-Kuu was shattered, creating two separate continents from one.
So came the prophecy of the Sankofa child, whose balance would save this world, and the Yurugu child, who would destroy it.
And so begins Antoine Mitchell's story of Sankofa's Eymbrace, which involves more than words.
Mitchell is a Baton Rouge artist who many times works under the nickname, "Ghost." His subjects primarily focus on African themes and the black experience portrayed in minute detail through graphite and color pencil.
His pieces usually are large, and they toured East Baton Rouge libraries during the summer of 2010.
But his artwork has taken a different turn. Mitchell is a fan of author J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy. He also harbors a love for the Star Wars film series, The X Men films and comics and the Final Fantasy video games.
It's a love he developed in childhood, when traveling with his mother from his small hometown of Norwood down the road to the bigger city of Baker. Baker had a small mall at the time, which housed a comic book shop. Mitchell would walk in and buy the latest issues mapping out new adventures of his favorite superheroes. They were worlds he loved; worlds he still loves.
This makes creating Sankofa's Eymbrace all the more fun.
Because now he's creating a fantasy world filled with his own heroes. And, of course, villains.
After all, there would be no conflict without villains. And without conflict, there would be no story, a story that Mitchell introduced to prospective readers through an exhibit of his characters in April at the Jones Creek Regional Branch Library.
This is why Mitchell's story is more than words. It also incorporates artwork, for in the end, Sankofa's Eymbrace will be a graphic novel. The exhibit simply was a sneak peek into Mitchell's world. Each of his characters is fully drawn, accompanied by complete descriptions.
Each has a distinct personality and physical characteristics. And each has a purpose.
Still, Mitchell doesn't want to give too much away all at once.
So, when looking at his exhibit, viewers knew the Sankofa child would have a purpose, or Nia.
"I incorporated words from the principles of Kwanzaa," Mitchell said. "Nia is the principle of discovering purpose."
He paused. He couldn't help laughing.
"You know, I love The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit," Mitchell said. "But I used to tell people, 'I love these stories, but I'm frustrated, because there aren't any black characters in them.' They used to say, 'Well, Antoine, write your own.'"
Mitchell's friends weren't being harsh; they were serious. They knew Mitchell loved comic books. They also knew he was an artist.
And they knew he was more than capable of creating his own world of fantasy, where a young thief named Aybel Sundiata becomes the protector of Assata Mwokozi. She's a beautiful and mysterious young woman he's known only in his dreams.
But now she stands before him, and it's through her that he discovers the secret behind ImBalynce but also his own Nia.
Could Assata be the Sankofa child? Maybe.
For now, Mitchell portrays her standing face to face with Aybel, both holding hands as they stare into one another's eyes.
Yes, this is as much a love story as it is an adventure. And who knows? Movie fans may one day see it play out on a big screen.
But that's getting a little too far ahead of Mitchell's plans. He's drawn all of the characters and placed them in digital settings. Now he's creating the world of ImBalynce, and he's continuously developing the story.
Those wanting to learn more can visit Mitchell's website at http://www.poeartry.net. In the meantime, he has an unrelated exhibit called Wife Queen, which is showing through Friday, May 31, at the Scotlandville Branch Library.
Mitchell's wife, Erica, was the inspiration for this exhibit. He never refers to her as his wife but his wife queen.
And his wife queen has been the biggest supporter of his work.
"She's completely honest," Mitchell said.
He lets out another laugh.
"She's very honest," he added. "She tells me what will work and what won't. And she's so excited about this project, but she doesn't want me to give away too much of the story too early."
Erica Mitchell is right. Mitchell shouldn't reveal too much to his future readers. There has to be an element of surprise, and besides, mystery always stirs curiosity.
Just as it did at Jones Creek Library. Patrons stopped to look at the framed pictures of Mitchell's characters during the exhibit, moving from one image to the next while reading the descriptions.
And now they're visiting his website, asking when they will be able to read more.
"The emblem I use for this story is two swans," Mitchell said.
"I put that up first, and people started asking me, 'Antoine, what is that?' They were so curious — they really wanted to know. I'm trying to decide if I want to search for a publisher or publish this, myself."
Either way, the Sankofa child's story will be told, and Mitchell's fantasy will come alive.

It all started with an idea.
As Michael Barnhart worked with his classmates Danny Thompson and Alexa Villa in the courtyard at Brush High School an idea came to him.
"Why don't we sell the food that we make in the classroom?"
Knowing Michael's tendency towards shrewd business ideas, Aaron Ingersoll gave Michael a look of caution.
"No, Ingersoll, we could use the money we earn to return this courtyard to what it once was, you know, what it was meant to be."
Since that day at the beginning of March, the Life Skills class at Brush High School began creating a breakfast menu, thinking of what to call their fundraiser, and most of all, cooking and delivering over 65 orders.
The Life Skills class consists of students with special needs and their classes often teach them skills like personal hygiene, cooking, social skills, job training, etc. These three students cooked and delivered breakfast items and sold them to teachers in order to raise money to use at the end of year to clean up and beautify the courtyard at Brush High School.
After deciding to call this project the Beetdigger Breakfast Corner, students cooked and delivered breakfast items such as eggs, bacon, pancakes, hash browns and breakfast burritos and then delivered them to teachers to enjoy.
The staff at BHS generously gave their own money towards this clean-up project supporting the students' vision.
After raising over $400, Michael, Danny, and Alexa used that money to purchase stone, potting soil, mulch, and flowers to plant in the BHS courtyard
On the second Saturday in May, the group got together, with help from parents, and spent the morning shoveling, raking, mulching and planting flowers.
Overall, the students and staff at BHS not only have a cleaner, prettier courtyard; but got to learn and eat in the process! What could be better than that?
Good things are cooking at Brush High

EAST STROUDSBURG — Junior outfielder Chris Knott hit the game-tying home run in the sixth and a walk-off single in the eighth inning of a 3-2 win in the opener, and added a two-run triple in an 8-0 win in game two as East Stroudsburg University swept a non-conference doubleheader against the University of the Sciences on Saturday.
ESU (12-6) completed a 5-0 week with four pitchers combining on a two-hit shutout in the nightcap. Junior Matt Smith started and didn't allow a hit in four innings of work to improve to 3-1 on the season.
Knott's heroics lifted the Warriors in the opener, going 3-for-4 in the game and 5-for-7 with a double, triple, homer, five RBIs and three runs scored on the afternoon.
USciences (9-10) took a 2-1 lead in the top of the fifth, but Knott tied it in the bottom of the sixth with a two-out home run to right-center.
Junior Keenan Stare, who relieved senior Brian Ernst (3 IP, 1 hit, 1 unearned run) in the fourth, threw the final 5 innings (3 hits, 1 run) and held USciences scoreless in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings to earn the win.
The Warriors went down in order in the seventh, but senior OF Eric Boyer led off the eighth with a single and ultimately scored the winning run. He moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Ernst, third on a flyout to center by junior catcher Eric Forth, and came home on Knott's two-out single.
In the second game, ESU scored all eight runs in the first three innings to break it open early. The Warriors had 14 hits, including two-hit games from Knott, Boyer, Forth, senior 2B Joe Bennie and redshirt sophomore OF Andy Brandstetter.
On the mound, Smith struck out three, walked two and didn't allow a hit in 4 innings. Senior LHP Mike Glassic, junior Keith Moyer and freshman Brandon Holup all threw an inning in relief.
EAST STROUDSBURG — East Stroudsburg University held off West Chester for a 5-3 win in the nightcap for its second straight split in PSAC East softball Saturday.
The Warriors (12-9, 2-2 PSAC East) also split Friday at Millersville on the opening weekend of the conference schedule, winning game two, 4-0.
West Chester (19-8, 2-2) won the opener 6-0 behind a four-hit shutout by Devon Utterback. The Golden Rams scored one run in the first, then pushed across another in the fifth, two in the sixth and two in the seventh to extend their margin.
In the second game, ESU went ahead 3-0 in the bottom of the first inning and never trailed.
The Warriors had three hits, including RBI singles by sophomore SS Cara Woods and sophomore 1B Cara McNeil, in the first inning.
Junior Laura Suits, who had the save in Friday's win at Millersville, threw her fifth complete game of the season to earn the win in the circle. She held West Chester scoreless for the first four innings and ESU added another run in the third on an RBI single by junior Amanda McKay for a 4-0 advantage.
West Chester put three runs on the board in the fifth to make it 4-3, but wouldn't get any closer.
Rebecca Smith's double extended her hitting streak to 10 games. She is hitting .531 (17-for-32) with nine extra-base hits, nine RBIs and nine runs in that stretch.
Woods had two hits in the second game and five other players had one hit each. Smith, freshman OF Sierra Wagner and sophomore OF Kasey Meckes, a Pleasant Valley graduate, all had hits in both ends of the doubleheader.

Smoking! What messed up the engine?
When it comes to items you hope you'll never have to return, truck engines have to be near the top of the list. William Mason, sadly, is about to do just that.
Mason bought a new engine for his 1986 GMC half-ton light pickup from Advance Auto Parts in May 2001, and, for the next 11 months, everything was fine. But in April 2002, he claims, the truck began blowing smoke and burning through a quart or two of oil a month. He called the store on Seminole Trail and was told to call the warranty department at the company's headquarters in Roanoke. There, in turn, he was given the number for Recon, the manufacturer, and told to call them.
Between April 2002 and April 2003, Recon's techs logged 14 conversations with either Mason or his mechanic, William Rhodes, owner of William's Auto Repair in Charlottesville.
During Mason's first trip to the shop, in April 2002, Rhodes couldn't find anything wrong. Mason returned in late June and said again that the truck was burning oil and blowing smoke. Rhodes spoke to a tech named Steven at Recon, and, according to the Recon log, was told to "check systems, pull plugs and check for oil on plugs, etc." Rhodes was allegedly supposed to call back if he saw any sign that something was wrong with the engine, but Recon claims they didn't hear from him again until July 10.
This time Rhodes spoke with Brian, who logged the following note: "[Rhodes] states plug #1 has oil on it. He thinks it might be coming from the rings but not sure...will do leakdown [a test that locates the source of engine leaks] to determine where oil is coming from."
That was July 10, 2002. Sixteen months later, when I called Advance Auto Parts to discuss the situation, the leakdown test still hadn't been done. Mason, meanwhile, had driven the car for several months after the July 2002 trip to William's, but had taken it back in December of 2002. It's been at William's ever since. The 15-month warranty expired in July 2002, shortly after the truck's second trip to the shop. This past summer Mason finally went to an attorney, who suggested he contact me.
I spoke with Axel Oberg, manager of the warranty department at Advance Auto Parts in Roanoke, who faxed me Recon's log. According to that, Recon techs spoke with Rhodes about the necessity of doing the leakdown test six times between July 2002 and April 2003– yet the test was never done.
As Oberg explained, neither Recon nor Advance was willing to simply replace a $1,600 engine (especially one that's now almost a year out of warranty) unless they had evidence that the engine was defective– and that's what the leakdown test would have shown.
When I spoke with Rhodes, he confirmed that he has never done the test. It takes "four to five hours," he stated, and Mason had refused to pay; Rhodes wasn't willing to do the work unless he knew he'd be paid. Mason, in turn, confirmed that he'd refused to foot the bill, saying that Advance should pay. Oberg, in reply, said that the company would reimburse Mason if the test showed that the engine was in fact defective– but it wouldn't pay up front.
Most such engines, according to Oberg, turn out to have been damaged and not defective. For instance, a replacement engine can be damaged by parts the customer adds on, or by whatever condition ruined the original engine. In that case, of course, neither Recon nor Advance should be held accountable.
In the end, however, Oberg decided that Advance was "tired of fooling with" Mason's situation, and has agreed to give Mason a replacement engine. Mason will pay to have the present engine removed and pay to have the replacement engine installed. If Recon's diagnosis of the returned engine concludes that it was in fact defective, Mason's costs will be reimbursed.
It'll take six weeks or so to get the post-mortem, but when I have it, I'll report the results.

Start-Up Domo Goes 100 Percent More Social Starting Today
When I last looked in on Domo Technologies, the Utah-based business intelligence start-up run by Omniture founder Josh James, it had just raised a $20 million round of funding led by Institutional Venture Partners.
It has been relatively quiet there in the Utah desert ever since, which is odd, because it had been such a chatty company, throwing parties to kill old outdated identities, holding complicated math contests to guess its new name, things like that.
Now it's about to get noisy again. Effective today, you're going to start hearing a lot more from Domo and from its employees, and not because its new product is ready. Not quite. (James tells me the company will be talking about it this summer.)
No, starting today, all employees — everyone in the company — will be required as a condition of employment to get seriously engaged on social media in all its various forms in order to make Domo part of the wider conversations taking place on Twitter and Facebook and Foursquare and Pinterest and the rest. It's called the #Domosocial experiment, and will last eight weeks. James puts it thusly in a post on the company blog:
"The program is designed to get everyone here engaged with and learning from consumer and social technologies. The goal is to help us develop a better product, understand the viral nature of web offerings more effectively, assist in getting the Domo brand out there, enable better customer conversations and see what impact it all has on our business."
Part of the intent, James told me, is a matter of geography and culture. Being based in Utah, Domo employees are probably better than their equal numbers at other Utah start-ups when it comes to being facile with the ebb and flow of the daily global conversation that takes place on all the social spaces. But they're probably not as familiar with it all as their rivals in Silicon Valley.
James has seen this sort of thing before. He started Omniture in Utah in 1996 and by 2009 sold it to Adobe for $1.8 billion. "With Domo, I wanted to ensure that we are every bit as adept at understanding and leveraging social as any other bleeding-edge startup," he wrote.
But on top of that, he's turning the effort into a live case study to see just how much of a difference it makes in Domo's business prospects, if any. The company will track important metrics and share them with the world. "We'll track how things change week after week. The good, the bad and the ugly, it's all going to be public," he told me.
Though not about everything. There's a list of "don'ts." Don't tweet about deals in the pipeline, don't debate with or quarrel with the boss on Facebook. Don't post about meetings or leak financial information.
What do employees stand to benefit? The best among them will be getting cash rewards for their performance, extra days off, that sort of thing.
What does he expect? He's been exploring social media pretty seriously for the last six months, and occasionally now gets stopped in the local mall by people who recognize him. "You start having influence in ways you didn't before," James told me. He learned with a 10-page article he shared on Twitter, where he has about 12,000 followers, that he experienced a 15 percent click-through rate. "The influence will increase dramatically," he told me. Also, Domo's development team will have their eyes opened to the finer points of what works and what doesn't with social features that are under development at Domo. "We don't want to re-invent what Facebook and Twitter did, but if you're not intimately familiar with how those things work, then how can you learn from their mistakes?"

While racist Indianapolis police regime terrorists identify Michael Inman as "one of the city's most dangerous career criminals, Marion County Black Foot Soldiers say Inman is regarded as icon to blacks in the grassroots movement and that many of them have even met and were schooled by the legend personally.
"The reason reparations offenders and racial terrorists with the police regime continue to mischaracterize our leaders, role models and activists who fight for Trans Atlantic slave trade restitution, is because sub-consciously (and some even openly) they embrace the white supremacist doctrine that denies reparations are owed.
"When you hear whites say: 'get over it,' 'slavery was a long time ago,' 'my family didn't own slaves, 'the Jews owned the slave ships,' 'your own kind sold you into slavery,' and other sentiments like these, know these are the most common excuses these devils will use in attempts to not accept responsibiltity for and make restitution for their kind's generational race crimes. Know today that these are unacceptable racist statements reparations offenders use in support of their kind's historical racial terrorism. Whites who make statements like these are just as racially terroristic as the whites who dehumanized and terrorized our ancestors during the slave trade and even in this – the post Trans Atlantic slave trade era. Most often, these are the kinds of whites you will have to defend yourself against in a repartions protest. From this day forward, when you hear these fork-tongued lepers espouse such racism, tell them to ask reparations offender David Pedigo what the fuck he thinks about that bullshit." Marion County Soldier Eli Ladd III is quoted as saying.
"It's remarkable. Did David Pedigo forget about his kind's crimes in the Trans Atlantic slave trade. If he and the whites who mourn him and support him did forget about it or, perhaps, do think it's insignificant today, they need to learn from this example that we are educated about how through racism they continued to deny the justice of reparations. They need to know that we haven't forgotten about it and do hold them accountable. And, they need to know that regardless of how they dismiss it, we know it is not insignificant today and, until restitution is made, we will continue to hold them accountable."
"Make no mistakes about it, white Indianapolis and white America. David Pedigo and you are the 'dangerous generational racial terrorists and modern day career criminals'. Soldiers like Michael Inman are the protesters bringing them to justice. Ask David Pedigo."

What does it take to put on Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights?
Creative director Mike Aiello discusses 23 years of HHN
Halloween Horror Nights 23 at Universal Orlando begins Friday, so what does it take to put on an event of its size? Just ask creative director Mike Aiello.
In its 23rd year, Halloween Horror Nights has taken guests through the years from the "Midway of the Bizarre," to the "Tales of Terror."
This year's event includes eight haunted mazes, including five collaborations and three originals.
Related: Halloween Horror Nights, behind-the-scenes
Aiello said his team will start planning for next year's event in October, but that planning starts with a bunch of ideas.
"We attack every event with more ideas than we can use that year," said Aiello. "There have been cases we have taken a maze to a certain point in the year and said 'This isn't ready yet.'"
One of this year's mazes has been in progress for about five years, according to Aiello.
"American Werewolf is a perfect example," said Aiello. "There were a lot of roadblocks in the last 5 years that prevented us from doing that maze – getting that wolf right, because it's the maze. When you see it, you're there and that's the goal."
But with an event that has been around for more than two decades, Aiello said it's all about figuring out something new and fresh to achieve with the next one.
"Every year there are things we want to try and do to innovate the event, and every year we are doing tiny pieces and parts," said Aiello.
Aiello believes the future is endless for the brand and event.
"That's mainly where I want to take the event in the next 5 years," said Aiello. "Try and innovate the way our guests are going through mazes and how they are experiencing our content."
When working with global brands, such as "The Walking Dead" and "Resident Evil," Aiello points out that to do the maze justice, you have to be a fan first.
"I think you have to be a fan of it first," said Aiello. "You can't go into these projects and be uneducated in the brand. You have to know it like the back of your hand going into it, or get educated very quickly."
Video: Experience the West Georgia Correctional Facility
"The day we found out we were doing 'The Walking Dead' again we went back and re-watched it," Aiello continued. "Season three was happening as we were creating the maze."
So, does the creative director have his favorite maze at this year's event?
"(My) favorite maze is like choosing a favorite child, which I try not to do, but I do sometimes. But it would have to be 'An American Werewolf in London,'" Aiello said.
Houses for this year's event, include "Urban Legends: La Llorona," "The Walking Dead: No Safe Haven," "Resident Evil: Escape from Raccoon City" "Havoc 2: Derailed," "Evil Dead," "Afterlife: Death's Vengeance," "An American Werewolf in London" and "Cabin in the Woods."
Halloween Horror Nights runs select nights from Sept. 20 to Nov. 2.
The streets will once again be filled with "scareactors" to keep the fear alive even when guests step out of the haunted houses.
A general admission ticket this season costs $91.99.

Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney Opera House
No matter how well you know an animal, no matter how well you read its moves, it is still an animal: wild, unpredictable and dangerous. A bit like love and fate. A bit like Carmen.
The ultimate femme fatale is back to stamp her feet, toss her hair and dance.
Will she love Don José? Maybe.
Will you fall for her sultry Habanera? Definitely.
"You ask me when I will love you. I don't know. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe never."
Dark, beautiful and a little bit dangerous, the vivacious gypsy girl Carmen has been captivating hearts for nearly 250 years.
Every so often, a mezzo-soprano emerges who can do more than just sing the role – she can inhabit it. It takes a certain fire, a certain physicality, and a certain throatiness to really sell the feisty Carmen to an audience.
As she draws Escamillo and Don José to her flame, the audience needs to cheer for this provocative woman from the wrong side of the tracks.
Spanish mezzo Nancy Fabiola Herrera is emerging as the Carmen-of-the-moment. With dark hair, a Latin temperament and an alluring physicality on stage, Herrera is in demand around the world to sing Bizet's lead, travelling from the Metropolitan Opera in New York to the Deutsche Oper Berlin to the Sydney Opera House in 2014.
She shares the role with Milijana Nikolic, who performed the role so spectacularly at Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour last year.
This production of Carmen is based on the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and Norwegian National Opera co-production first performed at Covent Garden in 2006.

Running time: 3 hours, including one 20-minute interval
The action takes place in Seville in the mid-19th century. Don José, who was training for the priesthood in his native Basque country, killed a man in a quarrel and has had to enlist in the army in Seville. His mother and Micaëla, who loves him and hopes to marry him, have followed him to the south and live in a village near the city.
A square in Seville
While Moralès and his soldiers are chatting about the passers-by, Micaëla comes looking for Don José, a corporal. Moralès explains that Don José is in another company that will shortly take over the guard, but Micaëla decides not to wait. The new guard led by Zuniga arrives, followed by a swarm of children. Moralès tells Don José that Micaëla was asking for him. While Zuniga is curious about the tobacco factory women who work nearby, Don José is uninterested.
The cigarette women come out of the factory for a break. Carmen attracts most of the attention, but she tells the men that she will love only someone who does not love her. She tosses a flower to Don José who, perturbed by the gesture, quickly hides it. Micaëla returns with a letter to Don José from his mother in which she forgives him his crime and asks him to return to marry Micaëla.
Uproar in the factory spills out into the square as Carmen and another woman quarrel. Carmen insolently refuses to answer for her fight, so Zuniga orders her to be imprisoned. Don José is left to guard her, but she promises to love him if he helps her escape. Don José lets her go and is himself arrested.
Lillas Pastia's tavern
Carmen, Frasquita, Mercédès and the gypsies are dancing. The victorious torero Escamillo arrives with a crowd of admirers. He is drawn to Carmen but she shows no interest. The crowd and soldiers leave.
The smugglers Remendado and Dancaïre try to enlist the help of Carmen, Frasquita and Mercédès in some of their plans. Carmen refuses: she is in love and waiting for Don José. Incredulous and mocking, the men suggest she brings Don José with her.
Having been released from prison, Don José arrives and Carmen dances for him. When he responds to the summons back to barracks Carmen accuses him of not loving her. In answer, Don José describes how in prison he treasured the flower she threw at him. If he really loves her, Carmen says, he will desert the army and go with her to the mountains. Zuniga reappears to meet Carmen and he discourages Don José. They fight, but when Remendado and Dancaïre disarm Zuniga, José decides to join the smugglers, leaving behind his former life.
In the mountains
The smugglers rest while a safe route to Seville is reconnoitred. Don José is still obsessed with Carmen; she, however, is tired of him but senses that he may kill her if she leaves him.
Frasquita and Mercédès read their fortunes in the cards; when Carmen joins them she only turns up cards that foretell her death. Dancaïre and Remendado return, and the gypsy women leave, enthusiastic at their task of distracting the customs officers who have been spotted on the smugglers' route. Don José is left to guard the contraband.
Micaëla comes alone looking for Don José. A shot frightens her and she hides; it was Don José firing at an intruder: Escamillo. Having heard that Carmen no longer loves her soldier, Escamillo has come after her. Enraged at this, Don José appears and challenges Escamillo to a fight. They are interrupted by Carmen herself. Escamillo invites the assembled company to his next bullfight in Seville and leaves. Still jealous, Don José threatens Carmen.
Micaëla is discovered in hiding. She begs Don José to return to his mother, who is calling for him. Carmen urges him to go. He is suspicious of her motives for encouraging him, but when Micaëla reveals that his mother is dying and wants to forgive him, he agrees to return with her. Escamillo is heard in the distance.
Outside a bullring in Seville
A crowd has gathered to watch the procession before the bullfight. Escamillo is accompanied by Carmen. Her friends Frasquita and Mercédès warn her that Don José is in the crowd. She decides to wait and talk to him, but when they meet he pleads with her to go away with him. She will not, as she no longer loves him. As the crowd is heard cheering Escamillo's success at killing the bull, Carmen confesses she now loves the torero and returns Don José's ring. He kills her.

New From McDonald's China: Black and White Burger Set
Black bunned fast food burger? Seen it. Black bunned fast food burger paired with a white bunned fast food burger? ...INNOVATION!?
Last month McDonald's China released this limited-time set of two mini black and white burgers (黑白通吃堡) for 16 RMB (about $2.50) or 28 RMB (about $4.40) with fries and soda. The white sesame seed-topped black burger features a beef patty topped with onion and black pepper sauce, while the black sesame seed-topped white burger features a chicken patty topped with some kind of sweet and spicy sauce and lettuce.
What's the meaning behind the black and white colors? Josh Ong of The Beijinger offers this explanation:
We weren't sure whether these burgers were meant to be a yin-yang sign, a tribute to Michael Jackson or just a lab experiment gone wrong. But then a colleague informed us they're a play on a Chinese phrase: heibai liangdao tongchi (黑白两道通吃), which describes people who are so well-connected with both the government (that's the white side) and organized crime ("black society," as it's called in Chinese) that they can "eat from both sides." In other words, someone who has a foot in both camps.
I'm guessing this isn't exactly the same meaning that McDonald's is pushing. If you can read Chinese, maybe you can glean more info from this article from health.huanqiu.com; otherwise, Google Translate offers this semi-comprehensible translation (emphasis mine):
Since August 13, McDonald's will break through the traditional heavy launch black and white take Fort, a package, you can experience two different forces of the black and white in. enough, interesting enough, stimulate it! Right! If you admit that you are young, if you think you have the guts, full of energy, creative, still hesitating? Black and white take Fort with interpretation from the taste buds with a young true!
McDonald's has always been concerned about the needs of young people committed to encouraging young people to individuality, bravery breakthrough innovation efforts, flying self. Black and white take Fort break the Hamburg's traditional way of eating with the power of both black and white young people dare to break applaud efforts to pursue their dreams. The unique shape of the black and white, will be able to inspire you the most in the creative way of eating, collision unlimited fun life. Original Hamburg also can praise the 100% beef with flavor onions, grilled tender chicken with lettuce, a variety of taste you embrace the mouth. The delicious classic traditional combination to create a new form will allow you hooked.
Any AHT'ers live in China and want to give this a shot? If not, we totally understand.

Happy Monday!
I apologize for the lack of regular posts. I am trying to kick of my YouTube channel and a lot of my time and effort are going into filming and editing, which is a lot more work than I thought.
I haven't decided if I am going to continue to blog on this blog anymore. I have created a new blog, we will see.
Friday I was extremely exhausted so I decided to leave work early, and by early I mean by 3:00... It was a rough week for me.
I snapped this shot at my work when I was leaving. How gorgeous is this?!
I finally finished editing my Sephora haul. I picked up a lot of holiday sets and if you would like to see that video please click here.
After I finished editing I decided to check out Wal-Mart's Halloween clearance. And I wandered into the makeup aisle...
I picked up this Hard Candy eye shadow set for only $6.00. I really like the variety of colors in this palette and can't wait to try it. I'll let you know how I like it.
I'm trying not to use my expensive makeup when I don't need to, so I'm trying to test out more drugstore brands. Any recommendations?
Pure Ice, a brand I typically don't buy, has a new collection of nail polishes. I think the colors are really pretty. I decided to pick up the one on the left. We'll see how it goes...
Has lots of chunky glitter and stars in it.
I also wandered into the Dollar Tree because I was looking for Christmas washi tape for my Erin Condren life planner - no luck. But I did stumble upon a bunch of Essie nail strips!! I only picked up this color but there is a ton more!
Saturday evening I ended my night playing Black Ops III. Yes, I play Black Ops III.
Sunday I decided to bring out this guy. Turkey candle holder is from Bath & Body Works and was free because I had a coupon. Score!
Yesterday I filmed my first ever ColourPop purchase from their new Holiday set, Vixen. There are two other holiday sets but I decided to just go with one for now. They are priced at $30.
If you would like to see the video, review, and swatches please click here.
I hope to do a full review on my blog, but like I said I am considering changing blogs so I may start doing blog posts there. We'll see.
This is a phone picture so the camera really doesn't do the colors justice!
The colors are SUPER pigmented and so creamy.
Sephora VIB Sale starts this Friday for VIB members, it started on the 6th for VIB Rouge members.
I decided to start making my wish list.
Like I really need another eyeshadow palette, but I don't own anything by Makeup Forever because it's so expensive. It's limited edition!!! Plus 20% off!
I'm definitely getting the Formula X Bottle Service nail polish set. This will look so cute on my makeup vanity!
I'm also definitely picking up the Philosophy Gingerbread House. Includes 4 shower gels and 4 lip glosses.
Have a great night!

What happens when a horsemad Ould Wagon moves from Cork to Provence with 2 horses, 2 dogs and a Long Suffering Husband? Why, she gets a third dog, discovers Natural Horsemanship à la Française, starts writing short stories and then discovers a long-buried talent for art, of course…
(Don't worry, translation will follow…)
We've had an old friend staying with us for a few days – some of my (very) old friends who glance at this blog from time to time will no doubt recognise the name JP. JP is French, he lives in Nice and drove up to see us. We wore him out – despite the torrential rain that's been falling all week, we did lots of walking and touristy stuff with him. He left this morning to go home and sleep.
Today is May 1st – Le Fête du Travail – I suppose you'd translate it as "Labour Day." It's a public holiday all over Europe, greatly associated with unions and the good they have done over the years, and there are parades and marches in most big cities to mark the occasion.
I already knew about May Day/Labour Day because it is a holiday in Ireland, but today, I learned about Muguets. It all started back in the 16th century when King Charles XI was given a bouquet of muguets and was told it was a "Porte Bonheur" – a bringer of good luck. The following year, he decreed that all the ladies of the court should be given muguets… to bring good luck to them and, by association, their menfolk I guess! The tradition has lasted throughout the centuries and is still observed, with French men presenting muguets to all the women in their lives on this day. Muguets are produced in vast quantities for the occasion in a city called Nantes, where, by a strange twist of coincidence, The ED spent an unhappy three-months on a college exchange. I bet she never heard of muguets while she was there.
Yesterday we dropped into a super-market for a few essentials (no, wine was not one of them) and I wondered why everyone was buying little sprigs of Lily-of-the-Valley. This morning, JP surprised me with this :
Ever the gentleman (like most Frenchmen, it must be said) he spotted that the LSH didn't know about Les Muguets so, when he went out for his morning cigarette, he popped into the flower-seller next door and bought me my very first muguets.
Thanks JP!
(information about the origin of the muguet tradition from these clever people)
I love the tradition of "Muguets" being given on May 1, the "Fête du Travail." Here in the US, "Muguets" are known as Lily of the Valley. I like the tradition of common folks selling the "Muguets" on the street corner on May 1. We saw lots of sellers around Montpellier when we went over to see our cousins on Labor Day a year ago.
Love it! What a great tradition. We have Labor Day here in the states too but it's in September and there are no lovely muguets to pass around. Enjoy yours.

I spent an hour or two today in our office, inserting collected receipts and important documents or business cards into a slim white scanner. They pulled through, quickly and quietly. If I inserted a piece of paper a bit skewed, it self-corrected.
Insert receipt. Push scan. Watch it glide through. Catch the paper. Set aside. See it come up on the computer monitor. Repeat.
It worked like a charm.
We're on our way to being (almost) paperless in our office.

Bronx Eats: Hot Flat Sopressata at Calabria Pork Store, Arthur Avenue
The secret has long been out on Calabria Pork Store, the house of sopressata (all $14.99 a pound), and it remains for me the foremost destination on Arthur Avenue: the only place you must, no excuses, go. Borgatti still churns out good ravioli and egg noodles, Zero Otto Nove makes solid if not spectacular pies, and Mario's makes my favorite red sauce in the neighborhood. But Calabria is something else entirely, free of the gimmicks that often plague the neighborhood's stores and chuck full of Old World charm.
Over my years in the neighborhood I've become partial to their extra hot sopressata, moving from sweet to spicy as my fondness for chilies grew. Once I'd bought a link there was little that could be done to stop me from biting off a chunk, or at least nervously tugging at my bag, on the walk back home. But a friend's recommendation of their hot flat sopressata has won me over. The flavor is sweeter and more concentrated than the sausage links, with a prickly, fiery heat that creeps down your throat towards the end of the chew. It's oily but not too fatty, with plenty of quality, chewy meat. And while it doesn't have the more substantial heat of the extra spicy, which packs much more of a punch, it's a flavorful bite.
What's New On Serious Eats
Calabria is the earliest of my formative food experiences in the Bronx, and stepping into that tiny storefront was like a trip through the looking glass. Innumerable sausages hang from the ceiling, all in various states of the curing process: some covered in white mold, others ready to eat. The room is filled with a pungent aroma, not all that pleasant and certainly not for everyone. But it's a visceral experience, and for many Americans the closest they'll get to the sausage making tradition.
Alongside the sopressata, Calabria offers a roster of fresh sausages, including liver and broccoli rabe, as well as and fresh mozzarella. But these are all sideshows, distractions from "the Real Little Italy's" biggest star. So whatever else piques your fancy, don't forget about what made the store famous in the first place: one of the city's best sausages.

Zucker Poaches Rachel Nichols From ESPN
CNN to build a weekend sports show around reporter
Jeff Zucker has made his first official hire as the new CNN boss, luring long-time ESPN reporter Rachel Nichols to CNN and Turner Sports.
In her new role, Nichols will field a range of assignments across Turner's sports holdings, including the NBA and Major League Baseball. In addition to her TNT/TBS duties, Nichols also will cover all major sporting events for CNN.
To sweeten the pot, Zucker has offered Nichols the keys to her own weekend sports program, which is expected to premiere on CNN later this year. She'll join fellow transplant Anthony Bourdain (ex-Travel Channel) as part of CNN's expanded Saturday-Sunday programming slate.
Nichols' tenure at CNN/Turner begins next week. Her first assignment: reporting from Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans.
"We're just thrilled that a sports journalist of Rachel's stature and expertise will now be a regular part of the CNN lineup," said Zucker, by way of announcing the hire. "Her arrival … is an important step in expanding the range of programming and storytelling on CNN."
A nine-year ESPN standby, Nichols has served as a correspondent for SportsCenter, Sunday NFL Countdown, NBA Countdown and the network's newsmagazine show, E:60. She also has worked the sidelines on Monday Night Football.
"Rachel is a high-profile talent and skilled reporter and we are proud to have her join the Turner Broadcasting family," said David Levy, president of sales, distribution and sports for Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., adding that Nichols' facility with breaking news, investigative journalism and human interest pieces make her "a perfect fit" for TNT/TBS.
Nichols tweeted the news to her 359,606 followers shortly after CNN and Turner Sports issued a joint statement.
Zucker officially began his term as president of CNN Worldwide on Jan. 21. In his first memo to CNN staffers, issued shortly after his hiring in November, Zucker said while he was "committed to maintaining CNN's core mission," it was necessary for the brand "to continue to evolve."
