Long distance charges do apply, but not any additional conference call charges. If you have a flat rate or a "bucket" of minutes to draw from, there is no extra charge.
Want to ensure your telephone number isn't known? Dial *67 first, then the number. - February 5, 2009 at 6:28 AM

You can send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, but let me know you sent a message here, I don't check the account very often.

P.S., feel free to notify others they are welcome to call as well. As you probably know, I have been "banned" from the randi forum.

The above number is good indefinitely.

Tex, I'm not sure what your issue is, but when you post comments on blog's you should do a little resarch first. The comment that you posted on the Godwin Amway Orhphange and shcool blog is named after the man that founded it. His LAST NAME is Amway. He is not related to whatever your issue is. I blieve you owe our friend Jacob an apolgy. We have know this fine young man since he was a kid and he is not doing anything that is quesionable in any way. As a matter of fact, my husband and I just donated $1500 to the effort in the memory of our son David who was a good friend of Jacob's. If you are going make comments like that, you should be responsible enought to get the WHOLE STORY first! Shame on you.

Godwin had a very unusual and extremely unfortunate last name. I guess it could have been worse, such as Hitler or Madoff. Of course I apologize if Amway is a man's last name and he has nothing to do with the Amway tool scam, don't be silly.

What do you do for a living? Why do you blog about Amway? How much PV did you have running through your Amway business when you quit?
April - February 2, 2010 at 12:53 PM
- Tex said...
What do you do for a living? ---> None of your business.
Why do you blog about Amway? ---> To get the ATS shut down.
How much PV did you have running through your Amway business when you quit? ---> I didn't quit. - February 10, 2010 at 5:13 PM
Tex, would you please stop messing up other people's forums and blogs with your off topic comments about Amway?
We all get it, Amway are a bunch of crooks and junk. The reality is that No One Cares About Amway in the first place!! They're just a bunch of old people's crooks anyway, and no one with any sense even bothers with them. Amway and all of that MLM madness went out of style way back in the 80's, when all the people who actually matter were still just little kids or weren't even born yet.
Plus, those of us who want to read about the latest Hollywood gossip or about Tiger Woods' scandals don't care about your problems with Amway and we don't want to keep reading your totally off-topic comments. Not only is it hugely annoying to see your off topic comments about Amway posted everywhere, it's totally insensitive of you to keep shoving that Amway crap down people's throats. Please just stop it and leave the articles and forums that aren't relevant to your problems with Amway ALONE. - March 12, 2010 at 8:02 PM
Tex, you're like a little whiney boy. We IBO's are sorry you couldn't generate enough PV/BV or team members to create any income. However, me and 3 other of my friends have recently started up and are making well over $100 in our first few months :) I know, not too shabby right? That on top of my part time job I'm making well over $500 bucks a month. Planning on paying for college and graduate free of debt. So from me (an 18 year old) and my friends, grow up and stop wasting your time. BUT, on the other hand I would like to thank you for spreading the Amway hate. Your site, and the other 8th grade like sites and blogs, are keeping everyone from starting up their own Amway business and you are allowing me to have more customers, more volume, and more money. Hope your lovin' the new Amway commercials, I know I am! Thanks Tex, and have a great day!

Anon #1,
No. LOL
Anon #2,
Is that gross or net profit? LOL
Anon #1 & 2,
Do you realize your posts directly contradict each other, and neither of you understand the ATS? LOL - April 4, 2010 at 6:29 AM
If you took half of the energy you have spent on this retarded blog and put it towards being an IBO you would be making over $100,000 a year. I'm sorry that every time you rebuttal someone's comment all you can say is "no lol." You type as if you are a 17 year old who is only mad because you're not old enough to run a site and sign up reps. At least make yourself sound educated so people will want to agree with how you feel about Amway. Yes IBO's who are diamonds make money from training tools but that is because they become part owners of Amway and have earned the right to profit from that. For the time being please take a step back and look at yourself and how sad your life is because you waste your time with this site and are sincerely jealous of those who retire after spending 3 years working for Amway.

hey Tex,
Found you blog via an inactive one.
I was in Amway before it became Quixtar and through the inital transition. Shortly after I left several diamonds in the Dexter organization broke off and founded their own groups.
The tool scam hit home for me when I realized I was the only person out of several downline in my area at a conference. I realized I had sacrificed my rent to pay for it $500. Just to get there.
I keep hearing books tapes functions and I realized one day, I voted for Bush becuase upline said too, and then they talked about how great he was when they weren't suppose to talk politics from stage. That was really what did it for me.
I knew instictivly that something was wrong when they showed me the numbers and said we have to show these but its really much better. The numbers never added up.
I wasted 4 yrs of money on this. I did however make some friends I never would've meet otherwise.
Not really anything else. Just wanted to say glad someone is doing this.

Thanks for visiting, your story is typical. If you want to be more involved in shutting down the Amway Tool Scam, let me know. - November 14, 2010 at 6:27 AM
Yes. Very typical indeed Christian.
There were many things uplines did which they weren't supposed to. The reason I left was not the fraud; but it has been the reason I didn't go back. And after getting to know people like Tex, I decided to join the cause. I really believe the day will come when the tools scam will be shut down. - November 15, 2010 at 11:49 AM
- Tex said...
If you want to work together to get the Amway Tool Scam shut down, feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com, and suggest a time to talk on the telephone. - November 27, 2010 at 4:38 AM
- John Povejsil said...
I've always disliked the MLM model, but something occured to me that I never considered before. Amway and the AMOs may have a pretty good argument that they are doing B-T-B rather than consumer sales, and may not be subject to various state and federal consumer protection regulations.
Thoughts? - April 10, 2011 at 9:39 PM
I just read your blog about Kristie Purcey and Sean McLafferty and I'm disgusted. I can't believe anyone would be sick enough to write that a murder victim is rotting in hell. Kristie was a beautiful girl that trusted the wrong man and paid for it dearly....with her life. She was violently murdered and I can't believe anyone would make light of a situation like that. All you seem to do is bitch that the people running Amway are crooks. I find it ironic that you continually judge them for their dishonest business practices, while writing such a horrible blog about someone you didn't even know. If you have even one decent bone in your body, you will remove your disgusting comments about Kristie. The monster that murdered her is rotting in hell and how dare you even put her in the same category as him.

quote:(Reuters) - Congressional investigators probing the U.S. Internal Revenue Service's scrutiny of conservative political groups will interview a key Washington IRS official on Friday and want to speak with as many as 20 more people, sources told Reuters on Thursday. IRS lawyer Carter Hull will be deposed by congressional lawyers on Friday, said sources close to the Republican-controlled House of Representatives committee taking the lead in an inquiry that involves several panels on Capitol Hill. LINK
quote:At least one Cincinnati IRS official not previously interviewed was called in to speak with investigators this week, according to a congressional committee source involved in the inquiry. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has identified about 20 more officials for future interviews, another source close to the process said. Leaders of the House committee have been squabbling all week about whether to release full transcripts of the interviews their staffers have done. Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, a Republican, first released selected excerpts from some interviews on June 2. He was criticized for that by Elijah Cummings, the committee's top Democrat, for "cherry picking" statements to prove there was political involvement. Cummings on Sunday unveiled his own selected excerpts, including comments from an IRS manager in Cincinnati who described himself as a "conservative Republican." Cummings said the interview showed the screening of conservative groups originated in Cincinnati office and called on Issa to release the full transcripts completed thus far. To respond to Issa's contention that doing so would compromise the investigation, Cummings proposed Issa redact portions that would interfere with the investigation by Monday.

quote: Where have I ever said none or any of this should be made public?
quote:The deposed DC attorney named in the article MAY be given whistle-blower status.
quote:So it is not for an Obama boot licker like yourself, or me or anyone else to judge legalities of testimony being leaked.
quote:Cummings cherry-picked leaks that was wrong, as an attorney should know.

The outlook depends on the bacteria involved and how quickly the patient is hospitalized and treatment begins. The death rate is high -- more than 50% for some infections.
Septicemia can quickly lead to:
Septicemia due to meningococci can lead to shock or adrenal collapse (Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome ).
Septicemia is not common but it is very serious. Diagnosing it early may prevent septicemia from worsening to shock.

Call your health care provider if your child's vaccinations are not up-to-date.
Getting treated for infections can prevent septicemia. The Haemophilus influenza B (HIB) vaccine and S. pneumoniae vaccine have already reduced the number of septicemia cases in children. Both are recommended childhood immunizations.
In rare cases, people who are in close contact with someone who has septicemia may be prescribed preventive antibiotics.

Residential Mats & Stairs can only connect to other Residential Mats. They do not connect to our Heavy Duty Commercial-Industrial Heated mats or stairs. The Residential and Commercial systems have different connections.
Each Residential Heated Walkway Mat and Residential Stair Mat comes with its own built in watertight connector cables. A customer can use the watertight connector cables to connect the mats to other Residential Mats or to a Power Unit. Every group of Residential Mats requires one GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) Power Unit to connect the system to an electrical outlet. A customer can connect up to 5 Residential Walkway Mats, 15 Residential Stair Mats or any combination thereof (up to 12.5amps) on a single Power Unit. If your run is longer, simply buy an extra power unit.
Remember, each set of Residential Snow-Melting Mats requires one Power Unit to connect the system to an electrical outlet.

great product
We had a problem with ice forming on our front stairs from water dripping from the roof overhang. These mats heated the stairs enough to keep the stairs completely clear of ice. No more falls!

Our house faces north and the sun seldom hits the stairs in the winter. When it snows or sleets or anyone walks on snow before I have been able to get it cleaned off we had a pack of ice that seemed to last forever. It was very unsafe for anyone trying to use the stairs. A couple of years ago I bought two packs of the three treads and hooked them together and the stairs have been clear of ice and snow ever since. We were afraid that someone would get badly hurt on them. We have had many compliments from visitors and delivery men since then. It doesn't stay on all the time but comes on when the temp drops to freezing.

Cloud computing primarily comes in three different forms, it has been claimed.
Writing for Digital Trends, Mika Turim-Nygren highlighted the existence of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
She noted that IaaS is the foundation, or 'base layer' of cloud computing, and includes physical infrastructure such as servers, storage disks, and facilities.
"Organisations benefit from pay-as-you-go, on-demand storage and web hosting, which can be easily scaled bigger or smaller as need fluctuates," Ms Turim-Nygren said.
She noted that PaaS is the 'middle layer' of cloud computing, which provides the operating system from which applications run.
"Here, the service operator provides a programming language and web server, which allows application developers to create and run their software solutions," the expert stated.
She said the 'top layer' - SaaS - offers the software applications specifically developed for the internet.
Consumers generally pay a monthly or yearly fee in order to use a certain piece of software in the cloud, Ms Turim-Nygren noted.
"Because pricing is pay-per-user, organisations can quickly add or remove users without having to accordingly scale their associated platform and infrastructure," she explained.
"This on-demand approach allows for rapid, efficient adjustments in staffing."

Published Papers
Cure Alzheimer's Fund is proud to present a list of published papers that result from Cure Alzheimer's Fund support.
Most of the papers grow out of the Alzheimer's Genome Project™ (AGP), as that is where most of our investment has gone. The AGP has met its goal of identifying most of the remaining genes that affect risk or provide protection from Alzheimer's disease in three years for about $3 million. Some 70 genes have been newly identified and now are available for follow up by Cure Alzheimer's Fund-supported researchers and others.
The other papers represent innovative and in most cases collaborative investigations of more "translational" research–research enabled by the discovery of the first four genes that have been known to the field for some time. These papers point to ways for potentially faster development of therapies that affect the disease mechanism, not just the symptoms.
We thank all the researchers and lab personnel for their dedication and commitment to the common mission of ending this disease, and we congratulate all of them for the important work reflected in these papers. We also are grateful to all of those who literally made this work possible. Without those of you who have supported Cure Alzheimer's Fund projects through your generosity, these papers and the momentum forward they represent would not exist.

If you smoke, you should quit. But quitting can be hard. Most people who have quit smoking have tried at least once, without success, in the past. View any past attempts to quit as a learning experience, not a failure.
There are many reasons to quit using tobacco. Long-term use of tobacco can increase your risk of many serious health problems .
Some health benefits begin almost immediately. Every week, month, and year without tobacco further improves your health.
Other health benefits of quitting smoking include:
Infants and children who you live with will have:
Like any addiction, quitting tobacco is difficult, especially if you do it alone. There are a lot of ways to quit smoking and many resources to help you. Talk to your doctor about nicotine replacement therapy and smoking cessation medications.
If you join smoking cessation programs , you have a much better chance of success. Such programs are offered by hospitals, health departments, community centers, and work sites.

A cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) smear is an exam of the fluid that moves in the space around the spinal cord and brain. CSF protects the brain and spinal cord from injury.
Spinal fluid smear; Cerebrospinal fluid smear
A sample of CSF fluid is needed. This is usually done with a lumbar puncture. For information on how this procedure is performed, see spinal tap .
The sample is sent to a laboratory, where a tiny amount is spread on a glass slide. A member of the laboratory team looks at the sample under a microscope. The smear shows the color of the fluid and the number and shape of cells present in the fluid. Other tests, such as a Gram stain, may be done to check for bacteria.
For information on how to prepare for the procedure to obtain the CSF sample, see spinal tap .
The laboratory test is painless and does not involve you.
For information on how it will feel to have a sample of CSF fluid removed, see spinal tap .
The test is done to check for signs of infection in a sample of CSF.
Bacteria or other germs in the sample may be a sign of:
Some bacteria or viruses can also be detected using special tests.

Jmac: If you've ever wondered how difficult it is to install a set of vinyl decals on your Mustang, we're going to show you just how easy it is by installing set of our tail light decals on this 2012 Mustang. Couple of things you're going to want to have plenty of is time, patience, and also one of our SVE decal installation kits.
You'll want to start out with this area clean, so if you need to wash your car before hand, go and do that. Start by eyeballing your decal and trimming it before installation. For this particular decal, I trimmed closely along the bottom edge for a baseline and then trimmed out inside the reverse light openings for proper positioning.
Peel the protective backing off. Spray the decal with the SVE decal solution. Lightly apply the decal in place, properly align it, and start using the squeegee in the SVE decal installation kit to smooth all the water out from behind the decal.
Let it dry for 15 to 20 minutes, squeegee begin, and carefully start peeling back the adhesive paper. Keep your squeegee at hand, and wipe over the decal slightly if needed.
Fully remove the adhesive paper, wipe down over the entire decal, and work out any air bubbles. Any small air bubbles that remain, don't worry. They'll come out after a few days in the sun.
And there you go. Time, patience, and the right tools, you can have any decal kit installed on your Mustang in no time at all. Check out latemodelrestoration.com's full line of decals for 1979 to present Mustangs today.

A hip pointer is a bruise to the upper part of your hip. Many muscles, including abdominal muscles, attach at this site. A hip pointer can involve injury to bone and soft tissue.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Hip pointers are caused by a direct blow to the bony part of the pelvis. This commonly occurs in when the pelvis comes into contact with a hard object, like a helmut or the boards.. It can also occur by taking a hard fall onto the hip.
Participating in contact sports increases your chance of developing a hip pointer. Football players and hockey players are especially at risk. Hip pointers are also more common while playing basketball and soccer.
Symptoms of a hip pointer include:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may be referred to specialist. An orthopedist focuses on bones and joints. A sports medicine physician focuses on sport-related injuries.
Images may need to be taken of structures inside your body. This can be done with x-ray.
Hip pointers are treated with:
It may take several weeks to heal and for normal movement to return. Check with your doctor about a timeline to return to normal activities. You may be able to return to activity as soon as you feel you are able.
Hip pointers occur through direct blows to the affected area. This is often accidental. As a result, not all hip pointers can be prevented. However, make sure to wear proper sports equipment and padding to decrease your chance of any injury.

Cancer Resource Center of the Finger Lakes
Last Modified: November 16, 2010
Since this is a gift-giving time of year, I have been thinking about gift suggestions for people who are being treated for cancer and for those who have recently completed treatment.
As a starting point, my recommendation is to give gifts of life rather than gifts of cancer. No matter how well-intentioned the gift, I become cranky if I find my stocking stuffed with pink ribbons or books with titles like, "Cancer is a Special Blessing" or "I Beat Cancer with an Eggplant and Zucchini Diet."
Give people an opportunity to think about something other than cancer.
In addition to everything else, cancer is expensive and disposable money is often tight. Give little luxuries. A gift certificate to a favorite restaurant or to a local theater can be a real treat. Join together with friends and give a person a day of pampering at a local spa. If they have an iPod, give a gift certificate so they can download their favorite tunes.
Sometimes, basic necessities are needed most of all. Something as simple as a gas card to help pay for trips back and forth for treatment can give a family a little breathing space.
For the person who's completed treatment, consider something with a future orientation. The time immediately following treatment is often unexpectedly difficult, so help them look ahead. Perhaps tickets to a play that's coming to town in a few months or an upcoming sporting event.
Many people who have had a life-threatening illness recommit to making their lives as meaningful as possible. Consider making a donation to their favorite charity in their honor.
You can also give of yourself in a very tangible way. You can register with the National Marrow Donor Program (1-800-627-7692) to help people with leukemia, lymphoma and other diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow transplant.
Finally, make it a point to send cards and call people who have been affected by cancer and tell them that they are in your thoughts, not only during the holiday season, but throughout the year.
Bob is the Executive Director of the Cancer Resource Center. His articles about living with cancer appear regularly in the Ithaca Journal. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com

Perfectionists? They freely admit it. That explains the deep dives for knowledge they make on any product category they consider entering.
But that's part of the reason that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are at the helm of a megamultimillion-dollar licensing and manufacturing company, Dualstar Entertainment Group — which they're now adding to with fragrances and next year with a first Los Angeles flagship for their The Row brand. They're also juggling their Elizabeth and James contemporary brand, their Olsenboye line for J.C. Penney and a T-shirt line called StyleMint, among other projects.
During an exclusive interview at TriBeCa's Locanda Verde, the Olsens discussed their new brand of two women's fragrances, Elizabeth and James Nirvana, which is built off of Elizabeth and James and will be exclusive to Sephora. Black is a sensual woody scent, while White is a musky floral fragrance. The duo will be launched in late January, after a quick in-store holiday preview from Dec. 13 to 25.
RELATED STORY: The Row RTW Spring 2014 >>
Given that they've been working since they were nine months old — their age when they began the shared role of Michelle Tanner on the ABC sitcom "Full House" — spending much time relaxing isn't usually comfortable for Ashley or Mary-Kate.
"We were always hard workers as kids," said Mary-Kate. "It's just the way we are, the way we were raised. Our work ethic was everything, and that never left us. We like to work hard, and we like to try to do everything 100 percent. In fact, it's actually almost impossible for us not to. Sometimes you succeed and sometimes not so much, but it's learning."
"I always looked at myself, even as a kid, as a businesswoman," said Ashley.
Added Mary-Kate: "With what we were doing in business when we were younger, I don't think it ever felt like we were actresses — because we spent so much more of our time not in front of the cameras, building a brand."
In fact, the Olsens founded Dualstar in 1993 at the tender age of six — "We couldn't see over the top of the table," Ashley joked — and their marketing savvy and the support of a strong team of adults reportedly made them millionaires by their 10th birthday. In 2004, on their 18th birthday, the sisters took over as copresidents (they are now co-chief executive officers) of the privately held firm, which has produced movies, TV shows, magazines and video games. While in their tweens, their business efforts included not only movies and videos, but clothes, shoes, purses, hats, books, CDs and cassette tapes, fragrances and makeup, magazines, video and board games, dolls, posters, calendars, telephones and CD players — with a market share made up mostly of the tween demographic. Mattel produced various sets of Mary-Kate and Ashley fashion dolls from 2000 to 2005.
"We've been exposed to so much," said Ashley. "We were very fortunate to have parents and people around us who wanted us to be part of the creative meetings and the business meetings, and we would just sit and listen and be sponges. At that time in your life, you really are a sponge. And we've learned so much from people we've been exposed to in our lives — interesting people from different walks of life, different ceo's. The list goes on and on. Mary-Kate and I have always taken advantage of our time with those people and walked away learning a thing or two."
Best business lesson they've learned? Both Mary-Kate and Ashley prize one above all others: trusting their guts. "We have really good instincts, and it's better when we listen to them," said Ashley. "That's both personal and in work."
"And [growing up] we also were learning about branding and staying true to ourselves as well," said Mary-Kate. "What always worked was that we were speaking directly to our customers, who were our age. Even down to writing a script, they would want us and our input on what the script should look like or how it would sound — because a 50-year-old man is not going to know the way a 10-year-old is speaking. It was very collaborative, and we were able to learn a lot about branding and marketing and product."
After moving to Manhattan as 18-year-olds, the sisters took a break from entertainment — and developed a true passion for fashion. "Mary-Kate and I moved to New York to go to NYU, and we put everything else kind of on hold because we wanted to just go to school and experience education without working at the same time," said Ashley. "While doing that, we started conceptualizing The Row. We started one item at a time, and took it to L.A. because the machines we wanted to use [to create the pieces] weren't available in New York."
"We sold it at first with no label," said Mary-Kate. "Only certain people knew it was us behind it. We didn't do any press. Our idea — because we had been in the branding industry for a very long time — was 'If the product's good, it will sell.'" While Ashley and Mary-Kate were building The Row, the opportunity came for them to do the Elizabeth and James line with a partner. "It was when the contemporary category was very small, and now we have several partners who help us with Elizabeth and James," said Ashley. "We still do everything with The Row ourselves."
In fact, the Olsens are about to become vertically integrated. Next year, they will launch their first store for The Row, in Los Angeles. Eventually, they'd like to do a fragrance for that brand, noted Ashley.
"Retail is really our next step," Ashley added. "We're building the store right now for The Row in Los Angeles."
Following the sisters' affinity for perfectionism, they'll build the empire "one store at a time," said Ashley. "And eventually, Elizabeth and James would love a home as well." Other categories are likely for The Row down the road. "We pretty much have all categories with Elizabeth and James right now, but for The Row it's just apparel and handbags," said Ashley. Shoes are on the wish list, "but that's a very different type of business," said Ashley. "We've done a ton of research, and it can be a really big expense, depending on how you want to do it. We like having success with one thing before we move on to the next. We don't like to spread ourselves too thin."
But they do appreciate what each of them comes to the table with. "We feel so fortunate to have each other, to have a dialogue," said Ashley. "Communication is key; it's the most important thing in life. And Mary-Kate and I get to communicate all day long, on all sorts of subjects. It gets us to a more educated, thoughtful place, because we often come to things from different directions — although we want to get to the same space and have the same goal and vision. But that conversation is what gets us there."
Ashley and Mary-Kate were inducted into the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 2009, and confess they get overly excited when they spot someone wearing one of their pieces. And while you'd think taking surreptitious shots would be the work of their fans, Ashley and Mary-Kate both confess to snapping shots when they see someone on the street in one of their creations. "Anytime we've started a brand and we see people wearing it — and we haven't given it to them — we try and take pictures of them," said Mary-Kate. "The first time we saw a Row T-shirt, an Elizabeth and James piece, a handbag — we got giddy." Added Ashley: "It's such a nice feeling that somebody appreciates your work."
Roughly two years ago, Sephora's Kendo division — the development arm that handles strategic partnerships — approached Mary-Kate and Ashley after a fashion market research survey commissioned by the beauty retailer continually referenced the Olsens' Elizabeth and James brand. "We always knew we wanted to have a fragrance for this brand, because it's very lifestyle," said Ashley. "There are many components to the brand. We felt that between the brand Elizabeth and James and Sephora that we were really speaking together directly to our customer. We felt that was a really good place to start exploring the world of fragrance and beauty."
After deciding the venture felt right, Ashley and Mary-Kate began working with fragrance veteran Robin Burns, cofounder of brand developer Batallure, and Michael McGeever, senior vice president of Sephora and general manager of Kendo.
Mary-Kate and Ashley spent close to two years developing the scents. "We're not perfectionists at all," deadpanned Mary-Kate. In fact, the Olsens' attention to detail included flying in out-of-season peonies from New Zealand and lily of the valley from Holland for the interview because they are key ingredients in the scents.
Nirvana Black, developed first, took a year and a half, with around 50 different concoctions before hitting on the winner — "and that's 50 versions not including the various tweaks we made to individual notes," said Ashley. Nirvana White took just a few months.

Hi, fellow dancers. My first dance experience was when I was 7 yrs old, in my first school in Kilkenny, Ireland. The girls and boys were encouraged to do Irish Step Dancing. At the age of 17 I moved to Dublin. At weekends I danced at the local Ceili dance club. When I moved to Australia in 1970, I wanted to learn some different dances, so I enrolled in some ballroom and Latin American classes. After 2 years I moved to England. I started line dancing in 1999, which I really enjoy. I choreographed my first line dance in Oct. 2006. My second passion is American two step, which I now teach and also choreograph new routines. Good luck to all dancers.

MU Grape and Wine Institute hosts wine tastings, March 25, 26 and 28
The Grape and Wine Institute at the University of Missouri College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources is hosting the 4th Annual Experimental Cultivar Wine Tasting, a spring workshop during which participants will blindly sample 18-20 Missouri wines from the 2012 vintage.
"For the past several years we've been conducting this workshop to determine the quality aspects of the wine produced," said Michael Leonardelli, an enology extension associate with the Grape and Wine Institute. "What all these varieties of wine have in common is that the grapevines grow well in Missouri."
These grape varieties may easily grow in Missouri, but do the grapes produce good wines? Participants get to help answer that question.
There will be three tasting sessions to choose from:

Westminster College was born Jan. 21, 1852 in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania at a joint meeting of the Ohio and Shenango Presbyteries. One of the earliest coeducational colleges in the nation, Westminster was founded to promote the spirit and values of Christianity while focusing on the development of the individual – intellectually, spiritually, and socially.
Westminster is proud of its heritage, and optimistic about its future. Serving the needs of students has enabled Westminster to become one of the nation's finest liberal arts colleges.
The origin of this history might be traced back a long way. As a small child trying to come to terms with the adult world around me, I became aware of an invisible presence in our family of something called Westminster College. Later, when I could understand that my Grandmother Gamble was in the first regular graduating class at the College, that her father was one of its founders, and that my father and his brother and sister were also graduates, I realized why I had been hearing fond and frequent references to Westminster. When I was a little older, references to the College assumed a current flavor as my father began serving what would be a 20-year stint on the Board of Trustees. By the time I was in high school, my sister and brother were students at Westminster, and one of my favorite weekend activities was to visit my brother and learn what it meant to be "collegiate." After he graduated, I became a student myself, then an alumnus and then a part-time member of the College faculty.
In 1949, with Westminster's centennial anniversary approaching, I was recruited by President Will Orr to serve as alumni secretary. My duties included editing the College magazine, the Blue and White. Because of centennial preparations and family ties, I decided to write a series of articles for the Blue and White about the College's history. As part of the 1952 centennial celebration, these articles, with minor additions and editing, became the first published history of the College, Westminster's First Century. That collection, as the original preface stated, made "no pretense of being a formal or analytical history of the College. It is rather an informal year-by-year summary of the things that have happened at Westminster."
As 1977 grew near, the committee planning Westminster's 125th birthday observance requested a revised and updated history. This second edition of the College history, published as History of Westminster College, 1852-1977, added 25 years to the account and strengthened coverage of academic development and certain pivotal controversies, but it followed the same year-by-year format as the original. As the preface stated, "It is packed with detailed information which may tend to clutter the story for the continuous reader while at the same time increasing the value of the history for reference purposes." When we ran out of copies of the 1977 history in 1992, we turned out a hurried third edition – essentially a reprint of the second edition with 15 additional years summarized briefly in outline form.
One hundred copies of this 1992 edition were thicker than the others because they included "A Personal Perspective on the History of Westminster College." After I retired from the faculty, while I was still serving part-time as curator of the College archives, my conscience began to nag me because a lot of what I knew about the College's history had not been included in the published editions, largely to avoid offending anyone by discussing controversial topics. For the benefit of future historians, I put down what I knew about these episodes and placed a copy of this "Personal Perspective" in the archives. When we were preparing the 1992 history, President Oscar Remick, who had read the "Personal Perspective," wanted to include it in copies that would be distributed to the Board of Trustees, so this material was added to about 100 bound copies of the 1992 history. Much of this material has become less sensitive with the passage of time and now can be included in this sesquicentennial edition of the College history.
For many years I have wanted to rewrite the history and break away from the limitations imposed by the year-in-review format. I wanted to cover major story lines coherently rather than in annual fragments. I also wanted to accommodate more analytical discussion of major events, problems, and trends. With the approach of 2002, thanks to good health, plenty of time and some help from my family, I finally got that opportunity. This history takes a more thematic, less chronological approach. The earlier histories, while out of print, are available in libraries to those who need to look up key facts in a chronological reference book. This text is written for the reader who wants a readable account of how the College grew. The voluminous records of annual faculty additions and retirements and the won-lost records of the various sports teams that made up a large part of the earlier histories are here relegated to appendices. Those who want to consult them may do so, but the general reader will not find them cluttering the text.
I knew that preparing such a substantially different history would be an ambitious undertaking for a man approaching 90, so I collaborated with my son, Richard Gamble '63, who brought to the project a computer and experience gleaned from 20 years of magazine editing and two book-length bank histories, as well as the relative youth of a man approaching 60. He agreed to help rearrange already written material from the earlier histories, "Personal Perspective" and several speeches and magazine articles of mine, and to supply necessary transitions as well as a more journalistic writing style. This history would not have been possible without his skilled contributions. Needless to say, collaborating with my son on this project has meant a lot to me. The other indispensable family tie is to my wife, Anna Mary Shaffer Gamble, whose support has made possible almost everything I have done since we were married in l938.
In preparing this and all earlier editions of the College history, my principal sources have been the minutes of the Board of Trustees and faculty meetings, College catalogs and other College publications: Holcad, Argo, Blue and White, and Westminster Magazine.
I am indebted to Robert Gracey Ferguson, Westminster's president from 1884 to 1906, for insights contained in his The Early History of Westminster College, first published as magazine articles and later reprinted as a 20-page booklet. Some additional sources for particular sections will be identified in the text.
I want to express my gratitude to Oscar Remick, Art Rathjen, and Amy Rose Wissinger for their support in getting this history off to a good start, and to Tom Williamson, Gloria Cagigas, Mark Meighen, and Pat Broadwater for bringing it to a successful conclusion. A special thank you goes to Dewey DeWitt, my successor as curator of the archives, for helping to round up information for this history, and for preparing the appendix on faculty and staff additions and retirements. My thanks also to Joe Onderko for compiling the appendix of year-by-year sports summaries.
In covering his subject, any historian needs to find the right balance between reporting events and interpreting them. Understanding the past usually requires not just collecting and ordering the facts but also explaining why events happened and how they are interrelated. Finding that balance is an art, not a science – certainly influenced in this case by my close association with the subject and the sheer accumulation of decades of memories. During the 50 years I have worked on the College history, I have had access to a mountain of relevant documents and conversations with participants, many of them now dead, whose clear memories of events and personalities went back even further than my own 1921 memories of meeting President Ferguson and seeing the previous "Old Main." I have known personally all of Westminster's presidents and interim presidents since W. Charles Wallace (1916-1931). I worked for 16 years in administration, 15 years in the classroom, and 20 more years as archivist and historian. Because of this background – and because few authorities now are likely to rise to contradict me – I run the risk of indulging in too much interpretation. When clear personal memories supplement the written record, I have used them freely, shifting from third person to first person when doing so would improve this account. Even when I follow the conventions of an objective, third-person historical account, the reader should know that I am telling the story from my own perspective. Clearly, I am fond of "Mother Fair." I have tried to deal candidly with her controversies and fairly with those who fall within the bounds of this history, but if readers suspect a bias and a tendency to present the College in a favorable light, they probably are right. Age has its privileges, and familiarity brings insights as well as blind spots. Hopefully, my collaborator has brought added objectivity to the project.
As we prepare this sesquicentennial history for the printers, it is our hope that it will bring to its readers a better appreciation for the host of people – teachers, presidents, trustees, students, and alumni – who have made their contributions, large and small, to Westminster's rich heritage.

After 23 years at Bloomingdale's, Kevin Harter still knows how to keep things fresh. "I'm the luckiest guy in the world to have this job," said the VP of men's fashion direction for the retailer. "The industry is always changing and there are always new trends, so every season my job seems new to me." Another cause for excitement has been footwear, he added. Last month, the New York flagship opened a men's-only Louis Vuitton shop with a significant shoe presentation. And for spring, the department store will introduce Gucci, Church's and Rivieras men's shoes. "Bloomingdale's knows [men's footwear is] a priority, and we're looking at redesigning floors based on the strength of the business," said Harter. "We're bringing in new resources, and we're marketing it differently." Here, the executive shares a few of his favorite things and how he manages to get in some quality time with his five-month-old twin boys.
