March 30, 2008: Well, it's now snowing here, quietly burying my blooming daffodils (the dwarf ones), so I type on. These attached records are from the St. Patrick's Church on Nepean Street in Ottawa. I was quite surprised to find that many, many of the deaths that occured after 1870 are not listed with the online Ontario BMD's, so I've also included those up to and including 1881. Primarily just the adults, as they give the most useful information. Most of the children's or infants' deaths I have not included :( ... Sue ____________________ Sue: Thanks, as usual, for these records. So far we have no blooming daffodils here in Ottawa. But lots of bloomin' snow!

Perfect World Chapter 6 – A Time for Reminiscence
Chibi Jennifer on 08 21, 2010
Ling Er wrapped her arms tightly around Xiao Yao's neck. He had carried her for nearly half the day and had not looked at her once. His eyes, glued to the path they were on, showed a glint of bitterness, of regret.
"Xiao Yao gege, ni mei shi ba?" / "Xiao Yao gege, are you ok?" asked Ling Er, looking deep into his eyes, searching for answers. Instead of answering her question, Xiao Yao turned his head and forced a most painful grin.
"Ling Er ah…wo men gen Hu Die da de shi hou…ni…ni you se me gan jue?" / "Hey, Ling Er…when we fought with Hu Die…how…how did you feel?"
Ling Er focused her eyes at a spot on Xiao Yao's neck. "Wo…wo jue de…" / "I…I felt…"
"Wo jue de hao tong ku – hao nei jiu. Wo zhen de hen xiang ta men." / "I felt so horrible – so guilty. I really miss them." interrupted Xiao Yao.
"Xiao Yao gege…"
Xiao Yao looked at Ling Er. She missed everyone as well. Xiao Yao began recalling the many memories they had with their friends. First meetings, the good times…the bad times. The sky, as though it sensed their current moods, began to release small droplets of rain. Xiao Yao continued walking and Ling Er didn't bother to attempt shielding them. The falling water quickly fell faster and harder, so that each drop that fell upon them became fully audible. Sighing, Xiao Yao looked around for shelter. He couldn't have Ling Er falling ill, now could he? He spotted a few large trees and started to make his way under their thick branches. Xiao Yao set Ling Er down in the center of the trees, where the lightening would be least likely to strike. Brushing the water off his brow, he sat down next to his wife and spread out his legs for a nice, long stretch. Staring off into space, Xiao Yao seemed to be getting lost in his own thoughts. Ling Er went around to Xiao Yao's back and leaned her head on his shoulder. In response, Xiao Yao reached for her hand and started massaging it with his thumb.
"Mei yi ci Hu Die bian xing de shi hou, wo mei you jue de wo zai gen wo men de peng you dou. Ke shi kan dao ta men de lian, ting dao ta men de sheng ying, wo zhen de hen gua ze ta men. Hao ren, shi bu shi yi zhi hui bei huai ren li yong, bei huai ren qi fu, zhi hui shou ku?"
"Everytime Hu Die changed form, I didn't feel as though I was fighting our old friends. But seeing their faces, hearing their voices, I really do miss them. Is it that good people will only be used by villains, be bullied by them, to experience only suffering?" ask Xiao Yao, as he started pulling out the grass where he sat. His breathing became deep pants as he continued.
"Ta men yi ge you yi ge bei ne ge wang ba dan hai si le." / "One by one, they all died because of that bastard." Xiao Yao scorned. "Wo hai da ying le Yue Ru, ci dao lao, wan dao lao. Wo men lao le ma?" / "I even promised Yue Ru, that we'd eat until seniority, play until we were old. Are we that old?" asked Xiao Yao, facing Ling Er. She smiled knowlingly at him and stroked his face with the back of her hands.
"Wo yie hen xiang Yue Ru jiejie. Ta zai ze shi shang shi ge da hao ren. Ta he Jin Yuan gege zui hao xin le. Wo xiang xin, tian hui bao da ta men de. Ze shi jie shi hen bu gong ping, hen duo shi hou shi wu li de. Hao ren huai ren dou you ta men de xuan ze, you ta men de zi you zuo ta men xiang zuo de shi. Ke shi wo xiang xin, wo men zuo shen me dou hui you bao ying de, bu guan shi xian zai huo shi lai sheng. Dao zui hou, tian shi gong ping de. Lao Tian Yie bu shi bu zhang yian de."
"I, too, miss Yue Ru jiejie. While on this earth, she was a great person. She and Jin Yuan gege had hearts of gold. I believe, that heaven will make it up for them. This world is very unfair and sometimes is without reason. People both good and bad have their choice, the free will to do whatever they want. But I believe, whatever we do will have consequences, whether it's in this life or the next. In the end, heaven is fair. Father God is not without eyes."
Xiao Yao hoped Ling Er was right. She had always been his strength, his foundation. Though Yue Ru was there to share in his pain as a companion, no one could take the place Ling Er had in his heart. As if sensing Xiao Yao's thoughts, Ling Er asked if, after everything, he felt it was wrong for her to push him towards Yue Ru. Surprised by this sudden question from his wife, Xiao Yao struggled to find the right words. When he finally answered, it was evident he had been thinking about this for a long time.
"Ne ge Uh Nu…wei le wo, ta xi sheng le hen duo. Wo yie zhi dao wo zai ta xin li you shen me di wei. Ni shi kan ta ren hao, xin hao, hai you wei wo de tong ku zhao xiang, cai ze me zuo de. Wo bu guai ni; ke shi, you shi hou wo zhen xi wang wo you liang ge xin, yi ge gei ni, yi ge gei ta." / "That Evil Woman…sacrificed a lot because of me. I also knew the place I had in her heart. It was because you saw she was a good person, with a good heart, and was considering my well-being, that you pushed me towards her. I don't blame you; however, I sometimes wish that I had two hearts, one for you and one for her."
Ling Er nodded. "Xiao Yao gege, ni zhen de cheng zhang le." / "Xiao Yao gege, you've truly grown."
"Na hai yao shuo." / "I know." he replied, smiling at Ling Er.
"Ni ai bu ai ta?" / "Do you love her?" asked Ling Er. On one hand, she wanted Xiao Yao all to herself. On the other, she wanted Xiao Yao to be a good man and wanted Yue Ru jiejie to have what she deserved. She didn't want to be selfish, but she couldn't help but wish Xiao Yao would say no, or, just as a sister, or something of that nature. Xiao Yao looked at his wife and felt her personal dilemma. She had never been very good at hiding her emotions behind any form of exterior. Even when she tried to leave him before, it was only because he was so shocked and hurt that he didn't see through her fronts. Thinking back, he was an idiot.
"Ai." / "Yes." he said. Ling Er could only nod as Xiao Yao continued.
"Yi da bu fen shi xiong di jie mei de nei zhong ai. Ke shi, you yi xiao bu fen shi qing ren de ai. Wo xiang le hen duo hai shi xiang bu kai. Ke neng, wo jue de dui bu qi ta. Hai you wo dang ran hen guan xing ta. Wo jue de, rang ta gan shou yi xiao bu fen wo xin li mian de ai shi gong ping de. Ta shuo guo ta bu yao gan zi de ai, ke shi, kong pa, wo dui ta zhi you ne me duo."
"A large portion of it is the kind of love that siblings share. But, a small part of it is the kind that lovers share. I've thought about this for a long time and I still can't really figure it out. Maybe, I felt that I owed her far too much. And of course I really cared about her. I think, that letting her feel a small piece of the love I have in my heart is fair to her. She once said that she didn't want love that was formed from gratitude, but, perhaps, the love I have for her only goes that far."
Xiao Yao stopped massaging Ling Er's hand and turned around to face her. Tapping her nose, he took her into his strong arms. Instantly feeling his security, Ling Er closed her eyes and buried her face in her husband's chest.
"Zi de, ni jiu shi wo de wei yi." / "Remember, you're my one and only." he assured her. "Wo yie shuo guo, wo, Li Xiao Yao, ai ni, Zhao Ling Er, YI SHENG YI SHI!!!" / "And I've also said that I, Li Xiao Yao, love you, Zhao Ling Er, FOREVER AND EVER!!!" he screamed, smiling goofily. Ling Er stared at him with a rigid and emotionless face. Xiao Yao looked around and wondered if he had done something wrong. Was it something he said? He sniffed himself to make sure he didn't need another bath. Slowly, a grin cracked on Ling Er's face.
"Xie xie ni, Xiao Yao gege." / "Thank you, Xiao Yao gege."
They looked around them as they realized the rain had stopped.
"Wo men ying gai shang lu le, hehe. Wo men hai yao da bai Bai Yue, hui qu zhao gu Yi Ru ne." / "We should get going, hehe. We still have to defeat Bai Yue and return to take care of Yi Ru." urged Xiao Yao as he stood and reached to help Ling Er up.
"Mm. Wo men yao hao hao de huo xia qu, wei le wo men de peng you." / "Mm. We have to continue living on well, for our friends."
Ling Er asked Xiao Yao how he was so sure that Bai Yue was at Nan Zhao Guo castle. Simple, he replied. She had explained to him that this world was a conglomeration of his nightmares. Concerning Bai Yue, his worst nightmare would be if that bastard was emperor, of his wife's homeland, no less. Actually, on second thought, his worst nightmare would be if he himself were Bai Yue. Thank God he was himself, Li Xiao Yao, beloved husband of Zhao Ling Er. Dust kicked up along the trail as they continued their journey to Bai Yue, to their way out, to the rest of their lives.

MMS: Miracle Mineral Supplement: Burn Victim:
Any burn should be sprayed with full strength MMS Miracle Mineral Element (no acid added) directly from a small spray bottle.
Do not add citric acid or lemon juice at all. No spray bottle? No problem. Apply MMS Miracle Mineral Element directly onto the burn, making sure the area is soaked with MMS (Miracle Mineral Element).
Wait up to five minutes (longer is not recommended) before rinsing off. If you fail to rinse off, the burn will continue to hurt. On the other hand if you do rinse within 5 minutes the burn will heal in 1/4 the time normally required to heal. The pain should stop immediately or reduce to almost zero within several minutes even on badly burned skin.
Sunburn: Miracle Mineral Element
MMS: Miracle Mineral Element: Sunburns
Sunburns should be treated the same way. Spray the red area with Miracle Mineral Element wait 1 to 5 minutes, and rinse off. If the area is still sore, in about an hour spray the area again and wait 5 minutes before rinsing off. Remember, do not allow the MMS Miracle Mineral Element to stay in place. It must be rinsed off. The pain should be gone in a couple of minutes. Generally two doses will overcome most sunburns, but on rare occasions if the discomfort is not all gone you can use a third dose. Be sure to rinse it off.
Note that MMS Miracle Mineral Element is alkaline and the burns need the alkalinity of the MMS Miracle Mineral Element to neutralize the acidity that resides in the burned areas. This is part of the reason why burns heal rapidly after the MMS applications.

Now most of these are not Telecom Related there are a few I would like to point out 3 of them as being Telecom Fraud related:
1. Mobile Malware:
Malware is not new, it has been around in the PC world for a long time, but now that there are enough smartphones around to make it worthwhile financially to attack them.
That said, be aware that Gary mentions that a new cell phone specific attack has started:
New malware has recently been found that targets QR codes, a digital barcode that consumers might scan with their smartphone to find good deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, or just to learn about products they want to buy.
2. Malicious Mobile Applications:
I have written about this before when Symantec broke the story about the phony Netflix Android apps. Just to show this is not a problem for Android alone, recently there was a story about someone who created InstaStock, a Stock Ticker app, for the iPhone that was designed to
A researcher with the security firm Accuvant, Miller had rigged the app to connect to a server in his St. Louis home and to receive commands to perform a number of devious tasks, including reading an iPhone's files, making a phone vibrate and remotely downloading the pictures and contacts stored on the device of a person running the app.
7. Holiday Phishing Scams
Again Phishing is not new, and I have written about it in the past, but Gary has pointed out 3 specific ones related to the holidays you should watch out for:
• A common holiday phishing scam is a phony notice from UPS, saying you have a package and need to fill out an attached form to get it delivered. The form may ask for personal or financial details that will go straight into the hands of the cyberscammer.
• Banking phishing scams continue to be popular and the holiday season means consumers will be spending more money—and checking bank balances more often. From July to September of this year, McAfee Labs identified approximately 2,700 phishing URLs per day.
• Smishing –SMS phishing—(in the US it is Text Phishing) remains a concern. Scammers send their fake messages via a text alert to a phone, notifying an unsuspecting consumer that his bank account has been compromised. The cybercriminals then direct the consumer to call a phone number to get it re-activated—and collects the user's personal information including Social Security number, address, and account details.
Again none of these are new, and there have been email variants of them all. All 2 have the intention of tricking you out of information that can be used to access your bank account, but the SMS one has an additional cost in that it asks you to call a phone number which in and of itself can cost you significant money.
The phone number that they have you call can be a premium or other high cost number that can charge you at least $1 per minute. So pay attention to the number to make sure it is not one you want to avoid (examples are 809, 900, etc.).
I recommend you read his article if only for the refresher of all the hazards out there at the holiday season and how to protect yourself from the ones I have not mentioned.

David Rosenberg was uber bearish after the financial crisis.
But his tone has been getting increasingly rosy. And it's surprising almost everyone.
- He sounded extremely bullish after the most recent jobs report citing 10 reasons to love the US employment report.
- He followed that up by saying the third act of the economic recovery is in full swing.
- Rosenberg also called the death of the painful deleveraging cycle. "The building blocks for the consumer to grab the torch are being put together with each and every passing data point of late. Don't fight it. Embrace it," he wrote at the time.
- Now, even as mortgage rates hit a two-year high, he argued that this spike won't hurt the housing recovery because incomes are rising too.
And Rosenberg knows this change of tone has surprised his readers. Because, quoting economist John Maynard Keynes earlier this month he wrote: "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?"

The genesis of ZingChart came out of a Web analytics platform that needed an interactive client-side charting solution. The poor scalability and flexibility of JavaScript and Flash based charting solutions circa 2008 encouraged us to roll our solution which make at the time forced us to roll our own solution which was launched as ZingChart a year later in February 2009. We've been iterating it ever since (see release history). Years later ZingChart and its related products are widely used around the world in some of the most data and feature intensive visualization applications.
ZingChart was founded and is currently lead by Thomas Powell, a noted JavaScript author and Web development professional. Initially incubated by San Diego's oldest Web consultancy (PINT.com), ZingChart is today an independent California corporation based in San Diego with the bulk of our employees and primary operations in San Diego. ZingChart also has remote employees based in Northern California, US Midwest, India and Eastern Europe.
ZingChart and its related products encapsulate many design goals and business attitudes in code including:
It is easy to find solutions online to plot a simple line, bar or pie chart with no features. ZingChart aims to go well beyond the basics. Custom chart types and themes, multiple scales, interactivity, full API, mobile support, multiple syntax approaches, numerous data type and transport methods, and much more. ZingChart aims to package common and advanced charting cases so you don't have to write the code yourself and get your products and sites built faster.
For ZingChart being "fast" isn't just about the screen painting and the vast data size handling we support. We also aim to make development just as fast. A few lines of configuration may be all it takes for most situations and our syntax should be familiar and easy for most developers.
Always a moving target, to be modern ZingChart is constantly evolving. From Flash to Canvas and SVG using JavaScript, from standard JavaScript to modern ES2016, from desktop to mobile and on and on it goes. We aim to make your charts work wherever your end users encounter them either on the Web or mobile device.
Coding never happens in a vacuum. ZingChart acknowledges that we must work with whatever framework or language makes the most sense. Vanilla JavaScript isn't the only approach, so whether it is an Angular integration, Typescript binding, wrapped mobile application, or something we just heard of we try to work with it. Opinionated coding may be a thing, but we aim for agnostic coding instead — if something works for you we want to hear about and see if ZingChart works with it.
We build ZingChart for our customers and their needs. If you are a ZingChart prospect or customer we always want to hear from you. It is important that our products incorporate customer feedback in all phases of their lifecycle. Never hesitate to reach out and talk to us online, phone, even postal mail if you like such things. We try to be a friendly bunch and are happy to buy you an IPA at one of our hundreds of San Diego breweries if you happen to be in our neighborhood. ( Seriously we have had numerous visitors, including some of our overseas customers stop by, just drop us line first! )
There are many choices in source code and product distribution. ZingChart has adopted what we term Responsible Source. Like commercial software the ZingChart team is responsible first and foremost to our customers for quality, compatibility and appropriateness. However, we are always collaborative and aware of on boarding and locking concerns of commercial software. As such ZingChart has no evaluation limitation and anyone can use ZingChart fully in its finished form as long as branding is displayed.
While using a free branded version works for some, we know our customers want the guarantee we will be responsible and available for our code and its support. We offer a wide range of paid licenses and support plans for all levels of customers.
Our aim is to balance the accountability of commercial software with the collaborative feeling of OSS without exposing execution details or dismissing our role as stewards of the success of ZingChart and products built with it.
ZingChart is always looking for skilled Web, development and design professionals, both at the main San Diego office and remotely. We offer competitive compensation packages, stimulating and inclusive work environment and open ended career growth. If you are interested in joining the Zing Team email email@example.com
ZingChart is a US based company and a California C Corporation.

C.Y.O. Cosmetics Review + GIVEAWAY
Hey everyone! I'm back this week with another beauty review (sorry they aren't spaced out better, I'll try to work on that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). Today, I'll be discussing yet another budget brand. This one is relatively new to the game: C.Y.O. Cosmetics! C.Y.O, which stands for "Create Your Own," launched earlier this year, in August. You can find it at Boots overseas and at Walgreens/Duane Reade in the United States. Everything in this line is under $15, but is the quality up to par? That's what I decided to find out with this C.Y.O. cosmetics review.
I bought four different products from C.Y.O. to test and rate for you all. I picked a combination of standard products and products unique to C.Y.O., so I purchased a kohl eyeliner pencil, a matte primer, an overnight lip primer, and an ombre lipstick.
I ran out of my liquid liner right as I was due to test these products out in time for today, which was quite fateful! This was my first time using pencil eyeliner in YEARS, so I was eager to experiment.
Wow, I discovered I am SO RUSTY at pencil application! I definitely struggled to apply this, but I think it's because I'm so used to using liquid liner. If you're a regular pencil user, then I think that this will be just fine. I was able to do a pretty solid cat eye even though it had been ages.
While I'm used to the matte look of my liquid liner, this pencil liner has a softer look because of the texture. It was difficult to get it to be as black as I wanted, but that may be because I'm not used to the amount of pressure that pencil liners require to achieve the desired pigmentation. Could totally just be a me thing, but just to be safe, I'm knocking down a few points for pigmentation.
This stayed on all day with no signs of wear and tear. 5/5
Matte and Blur Primer Matte-Attack
Matte primer is something that I've never previously owned or used before. This one is inexpensive, so I decided to give it a go. I also don't have anything to compare this to, as this is my first primer, so keep that in mind!
This primer was very easy to apply and seeped directly into my skin. This was pretty straightforward.
I have foundation that I use each morning that tends to appear cakey (I really need to get rid of it lol) especially in between my eyebrows. I happened to have a blemish in that area when I was testing these products, so I dabbed some of this primer on and then applied my foundation. And guess what?? My foundation looked LESS CAKEY! It was still a little cakey, but not as much as it would have been without this primer. So, yeah, I think this definitely works and I'm gonna be using it in my regular makeup routine from now on.
'Tis the season for chapped/dry lips, unfortunately. I picked up this overnight lip primer, curious as to whether or not it would alleviate my cracked lips.
The tube makes application of this product super simple. It's basically like a lip gloss; simply squeeze the tube and run it across your lips for foolproof application.
Uhh… yeah guys, I don't think this actually works that well. It could be because I got a ton of sleep and it wore off by the time I got out of bed? If you don't get a ton of sleep, then this might work. I'd love for someone else to try it out! I'm going to continue testing it in the meantime.
Ombre Lipstick Two Tone Twist in Couplet
We all know that the ombre lip trend hit Instagram/editorials HARD, but few brands have tried to capitalize on it. C.Y.O. clearly did some research on what's ~cool~ and came out with this half and half lipstick to make our feeds #goals.
(after eating)
The application was tricky on this. You have to turn the tube to the darker color to line your lips and then rotate it to fill them in with the lighter color. The fact that the tips aren't pointed like regular lipstick definitely poses a challenge to creating smooth and sharp lines. Luckily, the glossy formula helps keep things cleaner.
Pigmentation did not disappoint here! The colors showed up very brightly. It was a little hard to see the orange inner color, but it's there and it definitely adds more depth to your overall look. I would love to try the purple/pink version of this cause I feel like it would be easier to see the ombre effect.
I applied the colors and promptly made and ate shakshuka, and this actually had great staying power. There's a little bit of wear and tear in the corners of my lips, but overall, most of it stayed on after I ate a full meal!
Overall, these products from C.Y.O. worked great and are incredibly affordable. I think the matte primer and liner are definitely steals! I definitely want to try more of this line; they have eyeshadows, lip glosses, and highlighters, too!
And…judging by the title of this post, you're probably wondering about the GIVEAWAY!
I picked up another set of each of these products to send to one lucky U.S. based winner. To enter to win, sign up to receive my weekly newsletter below! The winner will be drawn from my list of subscribers in two weeks. Good luck!

The seasonally-adjusted CIPS/Markit Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to 42.9 in April from 39.1 the previous month, but was lower than last year's figure of 49.7. Despite remaining below the neutral 50.0 mark (a figure less than 50 indicates a contraction) for the 13th month running, the PMI moved further from February's joint survey record low.

When my #2 son was running for 5th grade class president, I had a brilliant idea for his campaign slogan, or so I thought. The flyer looked like this:
After all, who didn't like spaghetti? It had universal appeal -- especially to the grade school electorate. Teddy didn't think so and flatly rejected my flair for the creative. (He always had a more grounded outlook on life than his Dad.)
Today, we learn that the chairman of the world's leading pasta maker -- Barilla -- probably wishes he was more in touch with the universal appeal of his signature product.
Company namesake Guido Barilla, during a radio interview, proclaimed that his company's advertising would never feature a family with two Moms or two Dads. Specifically he said:
"Ours is a classic family where the woman plays a fundamental role," he said, adding that if gay people "like our pasta and our advertising, they'll eat our pasta. If they don't like it, then they will not eat it, and they will eat another brand."
Not unexpectedly, this faux pas has caused an uproar and consumer boycott in Italy, which if the media echo chamber takes hold, will likely spread elsewhere.
Ironically, in 2012
Separately, but perhaps not unrelated, Cheerios was the object of scorn from another (the same?) group of less-than-tolerant Americans when it aired a TV spot featuring a mixed race couple. The company stood up to the haters, and eventually was rewarded with enhanced brand awareness and reputation (maybe even product sales).
Barilla has a full-blown crisis on its hands - one that will require a considerable amount of contrition, i.e., no al dente here. In English also, please.
As for Teddy, I think he won that election even without his Dad's creative copywriting.

Updates about the University of California's largest off-campus agricultural research facility.
- Author: Laura J. Van der Staay
Published on: January 3, 2017
On January 2nd, 2017, abc 30 news aired a story on the 50 year old tea plants at UC ANR Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center. When the 1967 20-yr long Lipton tea project ended, some of the top two cultivars were kept in the general landscaping. The Global Tea Initiative at UC Davis learned that the tea plants survived for fifty years without any special treatment. The initiative plans to do some studies on these plants.

Hello dearies! I found this lovely lavender jersey a while back but I hadn't found the time to do anything with it until this week. Since I'm on spring break, I've had plenty of time to work a bunch of little projects I've wanted to do. I decided to make an adorable high waisted ruched skirt out of this fabric, and it turned out absolutely lovely!
This is the light jersey fabric I got. I bought about a metre.
So I started out by making a pattern for the skirt part. I just used a bristol board, and then traced it onto some tissue paper, which I pinned to the fabric when I cut. It was easy enough. So first I had to take my measurements, which I've displayed on the picture below. (It's length is 25″.)So after I cut two of this piece, I basted the edges together. I did it by hand, but it's definitely possible to do it using the machine as well. In fact, it's probably easier to baste on the machine, but mine doesn't do it very well, so I just chose to save myself the hassle and do it by hand. After I basted the edges, I pulled the ends of the threads to create the ruched effect. I kept going until my skirt was about half the length it originally was. After this came the tricky part. I had to sew the edges and keep the ruffles in place. I'll admit it took me a couple tries and a LOT of tweaking before it finally looked right. So my suggestion to you is really push those folds together and push them right into the needle. I found that if I didn't keep holding the folds together until they were literally right under the needle, they flattened out and then I had to go over them again. This is what the skirt looked like after I pulled the threads to create the gathers.
So, see where the fabric folds and gathers along the edges? Just hold those together and push them right through the machine to keep them from flattening out when sewing the edges together.
Anyway, after sewing the two sides, I turned the skirt right side out and it was time to sew the waistband in place. For the waist band, I cut a long rectangle that was the width of my waist and 6″ in length. I then folded it in half so it was 3″ x 27″ and then I folded it again so it was half the width and I had a big circle. I sewed the two 3″ sides together so I had my waistband. I then sewed the bottom of the waist band to the top of my skirt.
Sewing the waistband on.
This way when I flip up the waist band, everything is the right side out and it all looks nice and neat.
I really like this skirt, because it's going to be perfect for springtime. The colour is absolutely lovely, and it's one of those skirts that hides all those unwanted bumps and lumps thanks to the gathers in the fabric. It really smooths everything out, but defines all the right places, due to the stretchy fabric. And it's great because I can adjust the gathers make it longer or shorter depending on where I'm going. I'm very happy with my little project.
Hope this inspires more fashionistas out there to start sewing and be creative!

In two cases involving a statutory defense to possession or dealing of drugs within 1,000 feet of a school, the Indiana Supreme Court defined the term "briefly" and ruled on whether the defendants were briefly near schools when they committed their crimes.
The high court granted transfer to Reynaldo A. Griffin v. State of Indiana, No. 71S03-0907-CR-333, and Stephan M. Gallagher v. State of Indiana, No. 15S04-0909-CR-405, to address the meaning and application of the statutory term "briefly." Reynaldo Griffin was convicted of Class B felony possession of cocaine with 1,000 feet of school property. Stephan Gallagher was convicted of Class A felony dealing in a schedule II controlled substance within 1,000 feet of school property.
Griffin was stopped around 2 a.m. June 25, 2006, by police while he was pushing a moped along a street adjacent to school property because the officer thought the moped could be stolen. The officer estimated Griffin had been walking by the school for nearly five minutes when he stopped him. The officer found cocaine under the moped.
Gallagher met with a law enforcement agent Nov. 29, 2005, at an arranged meeting site behind a pharmacy that was near a school to sell pills. The meeting happened in the middle of the night and he was near the school for approximately 20 minutes.
Both Griffin and Gallagher asserted the statutory defense for their respective charges that their sentences shouldn't be enhanced because they were only briefly within 1,000 feet of the schools and no children were around at the time of the crimes. Gallagher also argued he was near the school at the request of the law enforcement agent.
In Griffin, the justices decided "briefly" implies a relative comparison and isn't the mere abstract passage of a discrete period of time. When a defendant's presence in the proscribed area is primarily for a purpose other than the illegal activity, the risk to children is smaller and briefly could encompass a greater duration of time, wrote Justice Brent Dickson. But when the defendant is in the area to engage in drug activity, especially if the activity is visible to children, even a relatively short intrusion in the area would be more than brief and shouldn't excuse the defendant from the enhancement.
"We therefore understand 'briefly,' as used in the statutory enhancement defense, to mean a period of time no longer than reasonably necessary for a defendant's intrusion into the proscribed zone principally for conduct unrelated to unlawful drug activities, provided that the defendant's activities related to the charged offense are not visible," wrote the justice.
The high court overturned Griffin's Class B felony conviction because the state didn't prove his presence within 1,000 feet of the school lasted longer than reasonably necessary to push the moped down the street, nor did the state prove there were any children present. The justices remanded for the trial court to impose the conviction and sentence as Class D felony possession of cocaine.
But the justices upheld Gallagher's conviction because he was behind the pharmacy near the school to sell drugs, even if no children were present. They also rejected Gallagher's argument that the state failed to rebut the statutory defense applicable to his charge that he went behind the pharmacy at the request of a law enforcement agent. The evidence was inconsistent as to who selected the location, and the Supreme Court declined to reweigh the evidence. The high court also affirmed Gallagher's sentence.

An SHRM survey recently reveals that employee preferences toward health are fast changing. Employers witness a rapid shift of employee preferences toward gym memberships and subsidies, yoga and dance classes, and health monitoring gadgets. Millennials in the workplace are leading this trend and employers are responding to these by increasing the scope of health benefits to include them as part of an employees' overall compensation, even though fixed pay scales in the market remain fairly stagnant. While work-life balance has been spoken about for several years, the world is still debating about it. Many argue that the correct term in today's work environment is work-life integration. Others are still struggling to find the sweet spot where work and life balance each other out. With leaders talking about holistic talent management and about the business of talent more deeply, the answer to the question of work-life balance may finally be revealing itself.
The employer should drive work-health balance- for its own good
As the trend of offering augmented health benefits is still in primitive stages, participation to company-sponsored health programs (such as gym memberships/subsidies, dance classes, fitness competitions) is optional and voluntary in most companies. While the number of employees opting to utilize these benefits has increased, many employees still choose to stay out of them. How many times are we guilty ourselves of justifying why work kept us from visiting the gym or taking the routine evening walk? How many of us have signed up for gym or yoga classes, only to drop out after 2 or 3 sessions because it felt like the investment was just too demanding? Here arises another crucial question, who is accountable for driving work-health initiatives- the individual or the enterprise? Has the enterprise done enough by provisioning these benefits to employees? Research indicates that in order to realize the full benefits of providing health benefits to employees, it makes business sense for an employer to also drive them. Here are some findings that support why an employer should drive work-health benefits for its own good.
- EY research indicates that work-life flexibility is the third highest driver in candidates evaluating a potential job after fixed pay and benefits.
- A survey by Quantum Workplace says that companies with company-sponsored programs have 44% more engaged employees compared to the ones that do not.
- Companies who proactively drive wellness save substantially on employee health costs. For example, J&J saved over $250 million in healthcare costs between 2002 and 2008 since the time the company invested in driving employee wellness among employees.
Change the buzzword: Work-health balance
Companies that change their employer brand messaging to reflect their commitment to employee health and wellness are able to build a much more emotional connection with future and current employees. It sends the comforting message across that the employer cares about each of its employees. Most talent strategies focus on the outcomes from surveys that indicate employee satisfaction. Gallup's "Customer satisfaction doesn't count" article indicates that satisfaction is useless without making an emotional connection. Investing in employee health and wellness is about just that- the emotional connection.
Employees too, can stop worrying about how to balance their work and life and instead focus more on balancing work and health. After all, it is always about simplifying life into "the one thing" that makes everything else easy.

Furniture Disassembly Service in NH?
Q: I'm in desperate need of a recommendation for a good furniture disassembly / reassembly service in southern NH. I have a leather couch from the 1970s that I LOVE, but I'm renting a house from my father in law and he adamently refuses to widen any of our interior 23" doorways. The only way to get the couch into the room is to take it apart...
I know there are many companies in NYC, but I'm having a difficult time locating someone who does it in New Hampshire. Please help! Marissa
Editor: This is not Marissa's couch, its just what comes up when you search "moving sofa" on Flickr. How on earth do you ride a bike with a couch on top? Anyone in NH have a tip on movers who will disassemble and reassemble a sofa?

This weekend, the Harrisburg Symphony and conductor Stuart Malina open the new season with a masterworks concert that includes a well-known favorite – the Tchaikovsky 1st Piano Concerto with pianist Di Wu – an almost unknown but delightfully tuneful jazz-classical cross-over hit from the 1930s by Morton Gould – his "American Symphonette No. 2" with its once very well-known "Pavanne" which many listeners might recognize even if they don't know the piece – and a grand symphony by a late-Romantic French master – Ernest Chausson's only symphony, in fact – which few people in the audience may have had many opportunities to hear live.
The Saturday night concert begins at 8:00; the Sunday afternoon concert, at 3:00. There's a pre-concert talk, as usual, an hour before each performance with a post-concert Q/A "Talk Back" session with Stuart and a guest or two (perhaps the soloist or a member of the orchestra).
Here is Di Wu playing Franz Liszt's transcription of Gounod's "Waltz from Faust," one of her performances at the Van Cliburn Competition in 2009.
= = = = = = =
Several seasons ago, Stuart Malina mentioned, when faced with conducting a ubiquitous favorite like Beethoven's 5th again, a quote he'd heard from conductor Robert Shaw who said something to the effect that every time you perform a work like Beethoven's 5th there's always somebody who is hearing it for the first time – and somebody who is hearing it for the last time.
Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto is just such a work.
I'm sure there will be people in this weekend's concert audience who've never heard the whole piece before, live or otherwise – beyond its famous opening – and who knows who in the audience we may lose between then and the next time Tchaikovsky's concerto will be performed?
Our soloist for the first concert of the New Season is Di Wu who appeared here a few seasons ago to play another concert favorite, the Grieg Piano Concerto.
And since she was a finalist in the 2009 Van Cliburn Competition, founded by the great American pianist who won the first Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow in 1958 at the height of the Cold War and who was even treated to a ticker-tape parade in New York City when he returned – when was the last time a classical musician received a tribute like that? – it seems appropriate to include here a video of the complete concerto recorded from Cliburn's return to Moscow in 1962, again with Kiril Kondrashin conducting the Moscow Philharmonic.
And yes, that is Soviet premier Nikita Krushchev smiling and applauding at the concert's conclusion. In 1958, when the judges had decided on Cliburn as the winner, they felt compelled to ask Krushchev if they could award the first prize of this competition – designed to demonstrate Soviet prowess in the arts the year after they'd launched Sputnik – to an American. Krushchev is reported to have asked "Is he the best? Then give him the prize!"
Incidentally, Cliburn performed two great Russian concertos during that competition. The other was Rachmaninoff's 3rd Piano Concerto, a work you can hear when the HSO concludes the 2015-2016 season with Ann Schein in May.
While it's difficult for me to imagine a better performance than Cliburn's, for those of you who might prefer a more "modern" recording of the Tchaikovsky, here is a 2001 Van Cliburn Competition winner born in the former Soviet republic of Uzbekistan, Stanislav Iudenich, with James Conlon conducting the Fort Worth Symphony. This performance is from the actual competition final round, not just a live concert performance (talk about pressure). That year, Iudenich shared the Gold with another Russian pianist, Olga Kern who, incidentally, played the Rachmaninoff 3rd in her concerto competition final.

But what makes a popular hit like the Tchaikovsky 1st Piano Concerto?
Since it's called the 1st, clearly there must be at least a 2nd, and there's also a 3rd, but since these are little known and rarely heard, it's also clear Tchaikovsky did not have the same luck with the public with these two later works.
Here are some early reviews of one of Tchaikovsky's most beloved works, beginning with the world premiere, Hans von Bülow, the soloist, which took place, of all places, in Boston in October 1875.
"This elaborate work is, in general, as difficult for popular apprehension as the name of the composer... There are long stretches of what seems, on the first hearing at least, formless void, sprinkled only with tinklings of the piano and snatchy obbligatos from all the various wind and string instruments." – Boston, Evening Transcript, October 25th, 1875.
"Tchaikovsky is unmistakably a disciple of the 'new school' and his work is strongly tinged with the wildness and quaintness of the music of the North. Taken as a whole, his Piano Concerto appeared chiefly as a novelty. It would not soon supplant the massive production of Beethoven, or even the fiery compositions of Liszt, Raff, and Rubinstein." – Boston Journal, October 25th, 1875.
"This extremely difficult, strange, wild, ultra-modern Russian concerto is the composition of Peter Tchaikovsky... We had the wild Coassack fire and impetus without stint, extremely brilliant and exciting, but could we ever learn to love such music?" – Dwight's Journal of Music, published in November, 1875.
At it's first performance in Russia, a concert in St. Petersburg the following month, the critic of Novoye Vremya was more succinct. "Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto, like the first pancake, is a flop."
Tchaikovsky's said of that same Petersburg performance pianist Gustav Kross had reduced his concerto to "an atrocious cacophony."
It should also be mentioned that, the Boston critics aside, the audience at that world premiere cheered the concerto enough that the finale had to be encored! George Whitefield Chadwick, a leading composer in Boston, wrote the performance was not well rehearsed and at one point, when the trombones came in early during a passage in the middle of the first movement, the soloist could clearly be heard singing out "the brass may go to hell."
Anyway, just a few things to keep in mind when you hear a new piece for the first time...

|Tchaikovsky, Early 1875
Tchaikovsky, who had always wanted to be a musician though when he was growing up there were no music schools in Russia where he could study, had finally graduated from the recently formed St. Petersburg Conservatory founded by pianist and composer Anton Rubinstein who then sent his younger brother Nikolai (also a pianist and composer) off to Moscow to open a branch there along with Tchaikovsky who would teach theory and composition, though he was just out of school himself, totally inexperienced and not yet successful.
So far, he had composed a small number of works but the only ones that endure are the song "None but the Lonely Heart" (rarely heard today, but once another ubiquitous favorite); his 2nd Symphony (later to be eclipsed by the popularity – and comparative greatness – of his 4th, 5th and 6th Symphonies); the original version of his Romeo & Juliet though we know it by the 3rd version rewritten 11 years later; and the 1st String Quartet but only because its slow movement became popular as the Andante cantabile.
If you look at the published opus numbers, it would look like the ballet Swan Lake pre-dates the concerto, also, but he didn't begin composing it until after he had completed the concerto. Arguably one of the great ballets in the repertoire, it, too, by the way, was a complete failure at its premiere.
|Nikolai Rubinstein
And then all hell broke loose.
"It turned out," Tchaikovsky wrote years later to his friend and patron Nadezhda von Meck, "that my concerto was worthless and unplayable; passages were so fragmented, so clumsy, so badly written that they were beyond rescue; the work itself was bad, vulgar; in places I had stolen from other composers; only two or three pages were worth preserving; the rest must be thrown away or completely rewritten. 'Here, for instance, this—now what's all that?' (he caricatured my music on the piano) 'And this? How can anyone…' etc., etc."
He continued, "I was not only astounded but outraged by the whole scene. I am no longer a boy trying his hand at composition, and I no longer need lessons from anyone, especially when they are delivered so harshly and unfriendlily [sic]. I need and shall always need friendly criticism, but there was nothing resembling friendly criticism. It was indiscriminate, determined censure, delivered in such a way as to wound me to the quick. I left the room without a word and went upstairs. In my agitation and rage I could not say a thing. Presently R[ubinstein] enjoined me, and seeing how upset I was he asked me into one of the distant rooms. There he repeated that my concerto was impossible, pointed out many places where it would have to be completely revised, and said that if within a limited time I reworked the concerto according to his demands, then he would do me the honor of playing my thing at his concert. 'I shall not alter a single note,' I answered, 'I shall publish the work exactly as it is!' This I did."
Hoping that Nikolai Rubinstein would premiere the work, instead (somehow) he convinced the German conductor and pianist, Hans von Bülow, a friend and champion of Brahms (who at the time had not completed his 1st Symphony), to take on the first performances even though he quickly dropped it from his repertoire.
But by the Moscow performance in November of that same year, Nikolai Rubinstein had changed his mind about the piece and, even though Tchaikovsky's own student Sergei Taneyev was the soloist, Rubinstein conducted the performance. Later, he would perform the work frequently as soloist, especially on his European tours.
Regardless of the composer's reaction to Rubinstein's suggestions – most of which were about the piano-writing or technical issues of "balance" between soloist and orchestra, as well as concern about the famous Introduction being in "the wrong key" and, beautiful as that theme is, never being heard from again – Tchaikovsky did make slight revisions on three subsequent occasions: in 1876, after a German pianist had given the London premiere; when the work was finally published in 1879, following advice from the Russian pianist Alexander Siloti, one of his own students (who later taught Rachmaninoff); and finally a few more simplifications and adjustments made in 1890, fifteen years after the premiere, the edition we usually hear today.
In the five years after showing his piano concerto to Rubinstein, Tchaikovsky then composed Swan Lake, the opera Eugene Onyegin, the "Rococo Variations" for cello and orchestra, the Violin Concerto, the 4th Symphony and The 1812 Overture.
You could say he was on a roll.

We welcome you to join our association and be a part of a fast growing network of professional women who share expert knowledge, relevant industry trends and potential business opportunities with each other.
In mid 2011 it was recognized by a group of female parking professionals that while women continue to emerge from all disciplines within the parking industry, opportunities to further narrow the gap between men and women in terms of promotion, advancement and C Level presence in the board room still exist. As a result the abilities and talents of women are underutilized in the industry. With this realization the group set out to establish a professional organization and in the fall of 2011 Women In Parking was established.
Our association is comprised of representatives from nearly every discipline who share the common goal of being dedicated to promoting the advancement and achievement of professional women by providing networking, leadership, and career enhancement opportunities to all members.
As Women In Parking evolves in the years to come we look forward to providing more and more opportunities for networking, mentoring and continuing education scholarships to women in an especially demanding and dynamic industry.

Vendor Transparency Solutions, LLC, conducts detailed screening of both potential and current suppliers to provide insight into their background, integrity, financial and compliance standing. The VTS web based platform is designed to comprehensively screen and monitor.
VTS provides you with a powerful web-based dashboard that allows you to view the results and comprehensive profiles of each and every contracted supplier in your network. You will know which service providers in your network are fully compliant while also viewing those that have not submitted pertinent documents and those that are red-flagged and need your attention.
You will not only see results of office, lot, and compliance inspections together with supporting photos, but your customized dashboard will also provide you with detailed search features and the ability to view and print all company required documents.
The VTS Lender Dashboard gives you the ability to search, review and contract with active VTS subscribed service providers in specific areas through the use of our electronic RFI (Request For Information) module. Once the RFI has been electronically approved by the service provider, you will have the ability to view the entire compliance profile for that company and make an informed decision.
The VTS Leadership Team is backed by over 50 years of experience in the Asset Recovery, Investigations and Risk Management industries. Our leadership team has also accumulated many years of experience in the development and implementation of web-based business solutions that have become standard in the asset recovery industry. Unlike other vendor screening companies, VTS is industry specific and designed to streamline the vetting process, giving financial institutions the security of an in-depth look at their service providers.
VTS will help you prevent problems that could have a negative impact on your organization's revenues, reputation, your customer's safety and your company's ability to remain compliant.
