Please use the form above to request admissions info for CCBC.
Human resources management specialists must recruit, screen, and interview job applicants. They often are tasked with other duties such as compensation and benefits, and employee training. To fill a job opening, the human resources department may choose to recruit on-campus at a local university, sponsor a job fair, or simply place job ads online. Each method has advantages in employment screening, and built-in drawbacks. Although the best candidates would be hired through recruiting, the resources required may be prohibitive. Online ads would attract a larger applicant pool, but many applicants may lack proper qualifications.
There are a variety of approaches to human resources management. Critical chain management (CCPM) puts more emphasis on the resources required to execute tasks, while event chain methodology focuses on managing events that will affect scheduling. Regardless of the method you choose, the main idea is to list out specific project objectives, and create a working timeline of both interviewing and personnel selection. Human resources department decisions must take into account a limited advertising budget, as well as the necessity of maintaining low employee turnover. With a bachelors degree, the average human resources management salary in 2015 was $58,350 annually.

Have you ever had an identity crisis? I think I've had two... I'm in one now... I can't tell if I'm becoming a new person or just need to find my way home. Any advice here? Anybody, anybody? :) A lot of the things that used to make me a better person are teetering on the edge of something... and at the same time, some new things are entering in which are lovely in their own way too.
In the midst of all this, I am still a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister... again I want the desert island ever so. So much so that you shouldn't get me near the ocean now or I might make a swim for it. I know this stuff comes in seasons. I know if you talk to someone over 60 they will tell you to just hang in there that everything pans out... or as the Bible says, "All things work together for good for those that love the Lord and are called according to His purpose in Christ Jesus."
I feel a bit lost in dreamland now... not very rooted or grounded, yet going no where. I am lonely, but I don't want to be around people. I am tired, but I don't want to rest. I am out in the open, but hidden away. A freak maybe... The rest of you look great though :) Real life is a bit unappealing to me now... Bills, illness, children leaving the home, children left to raise, marital trials, family issues... oi vey!!! My head is down... I am plowing right now... can't seem to get back in the rat race... tough stuff... anyone else struggling?
Arise oh dreamer... wipe the slumber from your eyes! Mmmmmm... easier said than done. I know one thing I need to do... above the tread mill, above the daily chores... I need to be grateful. God hates ungratefulness... He surely does. Maybe this is a one day at a time, one thank you at a time kind of thing. So here I go... thanks for bearing me out.
My God!!! Thank You!
For redeeming me, first and foremost!
For a husband who has loved me deeply and loved You most of all.
For children who are well and safe and beautiful.
For friends who put up with my awkwardness.
For a home with four walls and a roof and all the extras.
For forgiveness of sins!
For Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!!!
And lastly, for HOPE!!!
I want to be with God in Heaven forever and I want all of you to be there too cause I love you ALL! Truly! I beg you each to seek Him. Without Him there is nothing real, nothing that lasts!!! Grab hold. You will still be you... not crazy like me... that's my thing :) You will just be saved and on a path that leads to life. One prayer... reach out to Him, He loves you, He created you and He created you for His good pleasure. Romans 5:8

Hi all,
I travel to MTL once per month on business, and go to Holder restaurant frequently. Would be looking for something of equal cost. Staying @ Westin (near Holder), but can cab it if there is good option. I'll leave it in your good hands to recommend something (I like everything) - but perhaps something "different" from where I'm from - Toronto.

By Zachary Fagenson
MIAMI (Reuters) - Florida patients with epilepsy and other diseases hoping to gain limited access to medical marijuana may have to keep waiting as the state's largest nursery is contesting newly developed rules needed to roll out a special strain of cannabis.
Miami-based Costa Farms filed a legal challenge on Monday to the rules developed by the Florida Department of Health for implementing a new state law permitting the strain of marijuana known as "Charlotte's Web."
Costa Farms argued the state should abandon the lottery system it plans to use to select five nurseries to legally grow marijuana.
"The Department of Health has a duty to ensure that the dispensing organizations that are selected to make this medicine are the very best, not merely the luckiest," Costa Farms Vice President Peter Freyre said in a statement.
The rules allow in-state nurseries to file one application each. But other businesses, including out-of-state companies, can apply for multiple licenses by partnering with Florida growers, potentially monopolizing a burgeoning industry.
Only Florida nurseries meeting the state's stringent requirements, including having been in business for 30 years and having the capacity to grow 400,000 plants, can qualify to grow Charlotte's Web. Many more than five meet the requirements.
Florida Governor Rick Scott in June signed the law allowing Charlotte's Web, named for a Colorado girl whose epileptic seizures have shown some response to the drug. It is specially cultivated to be very low in tetrahydrocannabinol, the element that gets users high.
Cannabis dispensing in Florida is supposed to begin on Jan. 1, 2015, but could be postponed by the Costa Farms challenge.
"The parties behind a challenge should explain why they are delaying the process of providing compassionate care," Florida Surgeon General Dr. John Armstrong said in a statement.
Voters will decide in November whether to approve a state constitutional amendment to more broadly legalize medical marijuana across Florida.
The Florida Charlotte's Web law is so narrow that some advocacy groups do not count it among the 23 states, plus the District of Columbia, that have legalized medical marijuana, according to the Drug Policy Alliance.

My article about Robots on Stage in WIRED UK
Mayfest 2010 Reviews
I wrote a few reviews for theatrebristol.net about shows in this year's Mayfest. It was a two week feast of theatre.
Here are the links:
Vitamin Water
This guy rules. If I ever go to Japan, I want to meet him. We found some videos he'd made a while ago, reviewing electro music equipment, like vocoders. But he also stretches to reviewing yogurt and now… vitamin water.
Edinburgh Festival Busy Bees
After a nasty start to the weekend, when we discovered that some drunk gits had let down our front bike tyres whilst they were stowed in the luggage area on the train, things have been looking up. We made it to my favourite restaurant David Bann last night, and ate nice soup, and in between these we squeezed in 9 shows, and very good they were too.
Here's our dessert at David Bann…
Snow Leopard
I'm looking forward to getting my hands on this OS upgrade for my mac. One of the main benefits is that it takes up 7GB less space – always good. Also Snow Leopard just sounds cool.
Ed tells me that an improved operating system is like a good manager – better at breaking up tasks and delegating them appropriately, not micro-managing with the check-backs, better utilising the resources available and so on.
New personal aim: Be more like Snow Leopard.
Welcome to Guinnesstown™, Ireland. Oops, I really mean Dublin, but its easy to get confused.
Here's a few pics from our long weekend in Dublin.
25 Eustace Street, our spectacular house for the weekend. The floors were so wonky I felt like I was still on the ferry.
Just your average holiday rental – here's Will playing the boudoir piano.
The view from the Guinness Storehouse Gravity Bar – pretty impressive stuff. Couldn't help but think they could have found a million better uses for all the cash they poured into that 'museum', which was really a massive advertisement with about 1,000 video screens showing videos of barley fields.
Here's Kilmainham Gaol. This is one of the wings. Its a Panopticon. All the prisoners were meant to feel they were being watched by an all-seeing eye. Strangely some of the theory and discourse around the Panopticon actually inspired one of the characters in Black Tonic (Jo – the 300 year old all-seeing blind card-playing criminal) – which might help to explain why audiences found him and that whole scene a bit left-field!
And finally, here's the Porteous siblings, rarely seen all in the same place at the same time, and even less frequently all holding the same type of drink. We had a grand time.
On our last night, Ed & I met up with my friend Gary from my MA course at Central all those years ago. I hadn't seen him for years, and it was great to find out all his news, including about his theatre company Broken Talkers.
I just about survived the ferry home, through force 8 gales in the Irish Sea. No photo of that – I was too busy lying down trying to remain zen. Don't think I quite achieved that, but at least I didn't need to make use of the 'Convenience Bags' that had been thoughtfully left on every available surface.
I've been barely concealing (ok not managing to conceal at all) my jealousy of people nipping off for nice sensible week or two week long summer holidays over the last month.
But I've been biding my time, and now, just as 'back to school' time approaches, my holiday season begins. Hooray!
It starts with a long weekend in Dublin, which I'm excited about as I've never been to Ireland. We're taking the train and ferry (as you'd expect) which turns out to be a total bargain, and for once in my life cheaper than taking the plane! Here's the details of how to do it on Seat61.
I've managed to find us a genuine georgian pad to stay in, complete with 'boudoir' piano, courtesy of the Irish Landmark Trust. We're going with Ed's brother and sister, and I'm told that his bro is a pro on the old piano, so I'm hoping for a concert.
Then we're up to Edinburgh for another long weekend, to check out the festival. I've got a rigorous schedule lined up, but I'm going to make darned sure I squeeze in a visit to David Bann, my favourite veggie restaurant.
Well, that's it for August. September and October hold more holiday treats, but more of them later.
Origami flowers
I saw this in the paper ages ago, and finally got round to making one of these flowers myself last week. I followed this video tutorial. The presenter guy is pretty low-key, but you know its paper folding, not a high impact sport you're learning here.
Hopefully I'll get round to making 10 or more, and put them onto a trail of fairy lights like in the picture above.
Homeless Heroes
Saturday, and off to that London for 2 plays in one day.
By coincidence, they both featured a homeless person in the central role.
1. Vagabond's Voyage by Little Wonder (see my earlier post).
I enjoyed the show a lot – the highlight being a trip through the 800m long Islington Tunnel on a canal boat. Great music and singing, and a gentle introduction to the canal and its community both past and present. Made me think about how important these wild, quiet, uncommercialised spaces in the middle of cities are. It's now finished its run.
2. Mincemeat by Cardboard Citizens
A fantastic show. I was excited about seeing it, after being so impressed by the last major site-specific show of theirs that I saw – 'Pericles'. 'Pericles' had been a visual feast – amazing scenography on a big scale – around 6 enormous halls of an industrial warehouse complex.
Mincemeat has a similar feel – the audience member journeys through a handful of different spaces, each scenographically different. The cast play with performance styles, and the meta-theatrical stuff near the start (which seems a bit naff at first) makes progressively more sense as the production unfolds – the story is all about a man trying to construct his identity.
Some of the performers are really stunning, with an outstanding performance by the protagonist, who really takes you on his journey with him, painfully unfolding his true identity.
It's on till 12 July. Go see it.
A Brum Weekend
The weekend started well with a Flying Start 2 unofficial reunion dinner at ours. Lex made a fantastic apple pie which finished our meal off nicely. Lovely to catch up with everyone.
Saturday, Ed and I cycled over to Hockley for the Flyover Show headed up by the inspiring Soweto Kinch. It really was under a flyover, as you can see. Good vibe and an eclectic mix of music – from hip-hop to verging-on-classical type jazz glockenspiel!
Today we headed over to catch the last hour of Stan's Cafe's 24 Hour Scalextric. Impressive commentary from James and Craig, who kept it up for the full 24 hours, and were still keeping the crowd entertained with their sometimes hilarious free-associating right up to the final minute.

Welcome to the DELIBERATE LIFE!
The blog for spiritual people (or seekers) who know they are born for something more than the regular life and who want to wake up every day, knowing they are on track to the best days of their life.
People who want to make the world a more beautiful place, simply because they were here…
People who do not always feel like they belong in any specified spiritual path but long for deep connection with Source and to live an intuitive life.
Hey, I am Rosemary Nonny Knight and I am committed to a vision of 334000 people connected to Source, empowered to live life deliberately and intuitively, making a dent and a difference just by being themselves and doing life with the people they are called to… rather than getting caught up in the norms of the passive life where dreams are buried in favour of just getting by.
We live in a world that needs people like you and I, to truly own who we are, to remember why we are here so that we can change the course of the planet. It does not need you to be some kind of superhero (unless that is what you are called to be)…
It just needs you to be awake, being all you are born to be, living THE DELIBERATE LIFE!
This blog will cause you to question religious beliefs, cultural beliefs, your work ethic and it will encourage you to live intuitively and deliberately so that you do create an abundant, fulfilled, freedom life – Ultimately, you will prosper IN ALL AREAS simply because you learn to deliberately design a life where this is possible.
The goal of everything I write, sing, speak and do is to support you in one of these 4 ways…
1) Develop intimate connection with your Source, Higher Power, God, Spirit, whatever you choose to call it
2) Get clarity on your purpose, your reason for being here on this planet – I truly believe this is the only path to lasting happiness
3) Eliminate or handle emotional/mental blocks that keep you repeating the same cycles and keep you from your purpose-driven life
4) Learn the appropriate practical action to take that utilises your strengths and gets you your desires as quickly as possible
Interested in knowing more?
Grab my book – PRAY. AFFIRM. RECEIVE – how to get clear, stay clear and take action to get what you want out of life at rosemaryNonnyKnight.com/bookgift.
This will get you the book and also, get you on my mailing list and I will warn you – I have a lot to say. You will hear from me frequently and you will love it… or hate it. I am on a mission and I do not hold back. From the get-go, your thinking will be challenged and you will be offered ways to go even deeper.
Welcome to the DELIBERATE LIFE!
Find out more about me
I was a pharmacist, once upon a time, feeling the life force drain from me as I passively continued to do work that was not my true work. After hitting rockbottom (bankruptcy, depression), I started a business that got me out of pharmacy completely and I carried on to do this work that I am called to do.

Our Denim –
Made in Italy
Here in Hamburg, we generally shy away from overstatements. But even we can objectively say that partners don't come any better than our Italian collaborators, who have been with us for years: three long-established companies that practice their craft with modern expertise, work sustainably and care about their staff and the environment. Our jeans wouldn't be the best without our close cooperation and collective know-how.
Made in Italy –
The Closed Denim Triangle
Weaving Mill
Based near Milan, Candiani provides most of the fabric used for our jeans. Now into its fourth generation, the mill has been run by the same family since 1938 and employs 650 workers from the local region. With their mix of specialist knowledge and patented technologies, Candiani was the business that first made designer denim possible.
"People also call it the greenest mill in the blue world."Gordon Giers
The Facts
- Any waste thread created during the production process is recycled.
- 35 percent of the cotton used comes from partners in the Better Cotton Initiative.
- Candiani has been awarded the Global Organic Textile Standard and the Global Recycle Standard.
Sewing Manufacturer
Paul S.P.A.
Our first Pedal Pushers were sewn by Paul all the way back in the 1980s. The processing of each of our jeans' components is overseen by one of the 70 experts working at this family business near Ancona. The company has been run by Paolo Galassi, who took over the reins from his father, and Mario Ceccarelli for almost 30 years. They nurture their trade by investing in creativity and sustainability.
Nice to Meet You
Paolo and Mario – company managers.
Rosanna – responsible for our triple stitching.
Marina – sews the fly label onto our Pedal Pushers.
Carlo – cutter for our jeans.
Francesca – Mario's daughter, in charge of handling orders.
Our Joint
Angled at 33° to allow for easier access to the front pocket. Not only are they our trademark, they also embody the Closed philosophy, defined for the brand years ago by our founder François Girbaud: form follows function.
Sacrum cut:
A small, clever adjustment expertly made to the rear part of the jeans in line with the sacrum. Ensures a perfect, comfortable fit.
Fly label:
Positioned on the front of the fly. Hand sewn by an expert. Another hallmark of Closed jeans.
Triple stitching:
Our renowned triple stitch for extra style and stability. Developed by François Girbaud. A trademark feature of certain jeans, like our Pedal Pusher.
Ever since Closed founder François Girbaud developed the stonewash technique in the 1980s, our brand has been synonymous with special washes and used effects. The Everest laundry has been helping us achieve these looks since 2007. Based in the small town of Piombino Dese, they apply the most innovative and ecological finishing techniques.
The Facts
- All our used look jeans are processed by hand. Using brushes, sandpaper and grinders requires specialist knowledge and years of training.
- Eco-friendly treatments are carried out using a laser.
- Dyeing processes using high-pressure jets reduce the time required by 20 percent and water usage by 30 percent.
- Every day 1,200 cubic metres of water are recycled in the company's own wastewater treatment plant.
Key Invention
- Sandpaper and grinders: used to manually create wear marks. The crucial skill: making sure all jeans look exactly the same at the end.
- Laser: adds fade to denim without washing or bleaching. This machine can be used to create an array of blues.
- Ozone washing: during this process, jeans are treated with ozone gas (O3), a powerful oxidant – without additional chemicals and using a minimal amount of water.

A blog reader recently asked me what I thought about boards mentioning the names of delinquent owners at meetings when the question "who isn't paying their assessments?" is raised.
What if, however, the questioner did ask the board to name names? Should they?
This reader was incensed over the practice as she was delinquent in her assessments as a result of having financial difficulties that were exacerbated, in her opinion, by job market issues. The reader asked if the law could be changed to prevent boards from advising community members of the names of the delinquent members. She suggested instead that the boards "discuss the names privately and just give a lump sum at the general board of directors meeting."

Howdy all, I am now a Canadian citizen, I taught ESL in HCMC for about a year 2008/9 and enjoyed it a lot. I was born and raised in South Africa and a number of family and friends living there are keen to learn more about ESL teaching in Vietnam now and in the short-term future, mid 2017. South African ESL teachers are welcome in Korea and Taiwan, where I also lived, but I cannot recall any in Vietnam. Are there any South Africans on here now teaching in Vietnam? Or anyone who knows of any, and whether or not Vietnam makes any important distinction re South Africans (white and of colour, native English speakers with education) compared to citizens of the five major English-speaking countries - USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. Any info gratefully received, thank you. Back to top suphanburiJoined: 20 Mar 2014Posts: 891 Posted: Wed Jun 07, 2017 10:38 pm Post subject: You can usually add Ireland to the 5 and make it 6. The only distinction you will find in SE Asia is that S.Africans may also need to "prove" their English proficiency. As an example, in Thailand they NEED to have a valid TOEIC test cert when they apply for their teacher permit, visa and work permit (IELTS and TOEFL are also accepted by immigration). There is a bias based on color (darker is not better) regardless of country of origin. Darker Asians are less preferable than lighter Asians, Caucasians over others. Blacks can find work but they will struggle to find the work and will often be required to "authenticate" their documents (degree, transcripts, police check, etc.) with embassy stamps, foreign office authentications, notarization, etc. Vietnam is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention so an apostille is not necessary. Authentication is also becoming more common for other races now but it is often more pronounced for non-Caucasians. .

Gerald Langiri
Philip Muchiri describes himself as an ambitious, energetic and career minded actor who strives to excel in the role he is assigned to. He also believes he is flexible in terms of playing different roles and having studied digital editing, he also has experience in production. Acting is his passion and something he derives satisfaction from. What however makes Philip stand out in the saturated acting industry; it is that brown belt in KARATE that he holds. Add the fact that he wrote, directed, edited and cast himself as the lead role in his movies Gicagi and Boda Boda, and you have a complete package of someone looming success.
Nicknamed mentor by his peers, Phillip says Jean Claude Van dame is among his influences as he establishes himself as Kenya's Bruce Lee an opens the possibilities of action flicks and martial arts films we have in Kenya. Why anyone hasn't capitalized on making an action packed blockbuster with such talent around beats me.
However, Philip isn't waiting for that big break instead he is creating his own opportunities as witnessed in his low budget films Gicagi where He was nominated for the Best Lead Actor Award in the first Riverwood Awards for his role in the film and the film took home the Best Cinematography Award in was also nominated in the Best Feature Film category.
His other self produced film Boda Boda won him the best lead actor in a film at the 2nd riverwood academy awards.
Muchiri has since produced and starred in the films suchs as Mtaani, Street Game and Nairobism.
Phillip attended Waigiri Primary School and Kirinyaga Township Primary and later then joined Othaya Boys Secondary School. He studied a Diploma in Bio-Medical Engineering in Mombasa Polytechnic (currently known as Technical University of Mombasa) and cleared in 2009. I later enrolled at Mombasa Aviation and studied Digital Editing as he had an interest in filmmaking.

Your role model in the film industry Phillip? Well, truth is I have no role model. This is because I tried to get someone to help me achieve my dream of making films and most people thought it's not possible since no one had done such films in Kenya. I had no option but to Mentor my own self and just believe that my dreams are real and practical… that's where the nickname 'Mentor' came from. I Mentor my own self, am my own role model. All I do is 'Try To Be Better Than I Was Yesterday'. With that, I keep on improving myself. Its self motivation.

Pastor's CornerSubmitted By Mike Mavity, Grace Capital Church
We just celebrated Easter and the resurrection of Jesus. What a
great day Easter is; celebrating new life as we celebrate the
resurrection. You know, we get the advantage of history and knowing
the end of the story. We've 'read the book' and know that Jesus rose
on the third day. Think of those who were there, in the story, who
didn't know the outcome. (We know that Jesus had predicted his death
and resurrection but that didn't really sink in for the folks he
told.) They were devastated by his death and gave up hope of a
resurrection very quickly after his burial. However, we know the
rest of the story and that he rose!
There is a story in the book
of Matthew about two people who were on the road from Jerusalem to a
tiny town called Emmaus on the very day that Jesus rose. They left
Jerusalem before the resurrection so they had no idea that Jesus
had, indeed, been resurrected.
Jesus comes to these two (one was
named Cleopas and the other remains unnamed to this day) and asks
them what they were talking about. (Never mind the irony of God
Himself asking someone what they are talking about.) Jesus carries
on a conversation with them for the entire 7-mile trip to
Emmaus and they never recognize who he was. They tell Jesus the
whole story about Jesus (more irony)! Finally, Jesus reveals himself
to them and their hope is restored.
Jesus can seem to be a
master of disguise. Think about it; He was the Son of God disguised
as a little baby in a cattle stable at birth. He was a healer
disguised as a carpenter for many years. He was a little sneaky by
letting Lazarus' sisters think he was coming too late to heal their
brother. Here, he was a master of disguise as he snuck up on Cleopas
and his companion. His ultimate disguise was when he disguised his
greatest victory as death on a cross.
We all can be on the alert
to see Jesus in our own lives. He's there. He promised us that he
would never leave nor forsake us.
Miles - Circumnavigating NH By Bicycle to Benefit Cystic Fibrosis
Raising money for CF Foundation in memory of my
I, Brian Hand, have decided to circumnavigate the
state of New Hampshire via bicycle for the purpose of bringing
awareness and to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
I had two brothers die from Cystic Fibrosis (CF) one passing at the
age of 7 in 1971 and the other at 21 in 1985. I remember my
brother riding his bike through the city so that he could get
exercise in order to breathe more easily. This is the reason
why I chose cycling to raise money for the CF Foundation. My
journey of 600 miles to circumnavigate NH will begin and end at
Hampton Beach starting on September 16, 2017.
There is no cure
for Cystic Fibrosis now. CF is a genetic condition which
causes the digestive fluids, sweat, and mucus to become thick and
sticky blocking airways, digestive passages and other ducts
throughout the body. Real progress toward a cure has been
made, but the lives of people are still cut far too short.
According to Health Research Funding, "The number of Americans who
are believed to be carriers of the CF gene is 10 million."
Today, 70,000 people are battling CF with the average survival age
of 37.
Please help support life-saving research, quality care,
and education programs that my ride will help fund. We need
your continued support to further the mission and help extend the
lives of those with the disease.

United Way Promotes Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive On Saturday May 13,
Granite United Way is proud to promote the 25th Annual
Letter Carriers' Stamp Out Hunger® Food Drive on Saturday, May 13,
This is the single largest one-day food drive across the
United States of America, and Granite United Way has been supporting
this effort for many years across its entire region.
In 2016,
more than 80 million pounds of non-perishable food was collected
across the nation. All food that is collected stays local to that
area. In Merrimack County this is done in partnership for the
Greater Concord Area with the Letter Carriers and the Capital Region
Food Program.
It is simple to participate in the effort.
On the second Saturday of May (May 13, 2017), just set out your
non-perishable food well before your letter carrier's normal pick-up
time. The earlier the better! Note that he or she will be delivering
and collecting mail as usual, on top of collecting food donations,
so that pickup time could be slightly later than usual. Your letter
carrier might also have helpers. A good rule of thumb is to have the
bags by your mailbox by 9 a.m.
"We are proud to participate in
this effort each year," said Val Guy, Granite United Way's Area
Director for Merrimack County. "Each year this single day helps to
fill local food pantry shelves that have been depleted over the
winter months. It's an important part of ensuring access to quality
food and helps reduce food insecurity in our community."
The top
requested non-perishable food items are: cereal, pasta, pasta sauce
or spaghetti sauce, rice, canned fruits and vegetables, canned meals
(such as soups, chili and pasta), 100% juice, peanut butter,
macaroni & cheese, canned protein (tuna, chicken and turkey), beans
(canned or dry). You also can donate healthy, low-sodium, low-sugar
items such as beans, oatmeal and other whole grains, and canola or
olive oil.
Most towns participate in this effort. For more

Celebrate Drinking Water Week, May 7 - 13, 2017Submitted by
Kathy Kelley of Epping Well and Pump
Epping Well and Pump and the
American Water Works Association encourages 'getting to know and
love' tap water during Drinking Water Week Epping Well and Pump,
the American Water Works Association and water professionals across
North America are kicking off Drinking Water Week with the theme
"Your Water – To Know It Is To Love It".
Epping Well and Pump,
AWWA and the water community will celebrate Drinking Water Week by
recognizing the vital role water plays in daily lives. "This year's
Drinking Water Week will motivate water consumers to be actively
aware of how they personally connect with water," said AWWA Chief
Executive Officer David LaFrance. "We should all know how to find
and fix leaks, care for our home's pipes and support our utility's
investment in water infrastructure."
How you can play a part in
this year's Drinking Water Week Celebration:Get the lead out -
Lead presents health concerns for people of all ages, particularly
pregnant women, infants and young children. In children, low
exposure levels have been linked to learning disabilities,
behavioral problems and other issues. Lead is sometimes present in
pipes connecting older homes to the water system or in fixtures and
home plumbing. A licensed plumber can help to identify lead service
lines and other materials such as lead fittings and solder.
Households can find out more about their water quality by having it
tested by a certified laboratory such as Seacoast Analytical
Services in Lee, NH. More information on lead in water can be
found on DrinkTap.org.
Check and fix leaks - Consumers are
encouraged to quickly and efficiently fix leaks in and around their
homes to prevent water waste. To test for leaks inside, customers
should shut off everything connected to water and inspect the home's
flow indicator on the water meter. If the indicator continues to
move, even with everything off, there's a leak somewhere in the
To check for a leaky toilet, customers can place a few
drops of food coloring in the holding tank and wait five minutes
without flushing. There's a leak if coloring appears in the bowl.
Also, customers should check all faucets and under the sinks for
dripping. To check for leaks outside, customers should inspect the
lawn for wet spots or pools of water around spray heads. Brown or
muddy spots would also indicate there is a leak in the irrigation
Check your pipes - Many things can unnecessarily clog a
home's plumbing system, including "flushable" wipes, fats, oils and
grease. Each year, these clogged pipes, back up systems and harm the
environment when they aren't disposed of properly. Specifically,
flushable wipes, facial tissue, paper towels and medications should
be thrown away in the trash and should not be flushed down the
toilet. Also, fats, oil and grease should not be dumped down the
drain. Instead, they should also be thrown away in the trash.
"Caring for our pipes should be considered maintenance around the
home and not just thought of when something goes wrong with them,"
said AWWA Chief Executive Officer David LaFrance. "We have to do our
part not to clog up our already precarious water and wastewater
For more than 35 years, AWWA and its members have
celebrated Drinking Water Week, a unique opportunity for both water
professionals and the communities they serve to join together in
recognizing the vital role water plays in daily lives.

To The EditorSelect Board meeting 05/02/17
Meeting opened
with a letter of resignation from Chairman Konopka, sighting recent
health issues as the reason for his regretful departure from the
board. We accepted his resignation, also with regret, and thanks for
the many years and countless hours Larry dedicated to the position
and the town.
Some redistribution of Larry's appointments and
duties must take place. Jim Allard was appointed Chairman of the
Board, and immediately assumed that duty. The other duties Larry has
been doing are covered for now, and when an interim Board member is
appointed, that person should be able to shoulder some of the
responsibility as well. Cara was instructed to place a notice in The
SUN immediately soliciting letters of interest from any resident who
would like to be considered to fill out the 5 person board until the
expiration of Larry's tenure next March. We agreed to change our
current bi-weekly meetings from the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each
month to the 2nd and 4th Tues, with a firm start time of 6 PM.
appeal of the assessed value for 60 Main St. was heard for Northway
Bank by their representative Mark Lutter of Northeast Property Tax
Consultants. Mr. Lutter argued for an assessment reduction below
that recommended by the town's assessors, Avitar. The Board decided
to continue to follow the advice of the firm that we pay for expert
opinion, and take our chances with Northway's appeal to the State
Bureau. Defense of the town's position is included in our Avitar
contract with no additional expense.
A donation of $270 to go
toward the cost of water for the newly established Community Garden
was accepted.

To The Editor
To The Editor:Linda Small is proposing that the
PARETF be defunded and the proceeds put into the town's general
fund. PARETF is a loan fund to be used by non-profit groups to
acquire and rebuild properties so they can be restored to taxable
The proposal for defunding seems to be based on the fact
that the EDC and its non-profit subsidiary SVRDC have been
unsuccessful in convincing the Pittsfield BOS to deed town owned
properties to them.
I am thinking that the BOS has based its
decisions on the reality that the EDC, while having been in
existence for over ten years, has accomplished little and has not
convinced the BOS that it can do much going forward.
EDC has
created a wordy mission statement and published a list of businesses
with inaccurate descriptions of their operations, but has not yet
done much else to enhance economic development.
Several new
businesses have in fact come to town since 2006 - Liberty Machine,
Inofab, NEMO, Joe Darrah, MRP, Mike's Meat Shop and Wellbuilt
Cabinetry come to mind. But EDC has not been instrumental in these
It seems to me that Linda Small wants to defund PARETF
just because EDC has not found a way to use it.
I say let's keep
it. EDC has been ineffective but that does not mean that other
non-profits are incapable of doing well in town. PARETF funds should
be available if viable plans are presented.

Members Participate In Citizenship NH Focus
On Wednesday, April
26, sixty 4-H members from all corners of New Hampshire converged on
the State House in Concord to participate in active citizenship
through Citizenship NH Focus. Merrimack County had 12 youth
participate in the pilot experience of this event. Skyelar
Baillargeon of Concord, Trevor Braley of Epsom, Helen Connor of
Henniker, Clara Cooper of Concord, Margaret Cooper of Concord,
Elizabeth Hanson of Dunbarton, Connor Meehan of Barnstead, Ella
Mulari of Concord, Grace Murdoch Roy of Concord, Samantha Veilleux
of Henniker, Gwendolyn West of Center Barnstead, and Ian West of
Center Barnstead.
The day's activities started in
Representatives Hall with a welcome from Dr. Ken LaValley, Dean and
Director of UNH Cooperative Extension and Representative Terry Wolf,
Assistant Majority Whip. The young people were then introduced to
Representative Jim Belanger, Hillsborough County; Representative
John O'Connor, Rockingham County; and Representative Michael Vose,
Rockingham County. After a mock legislative session, the
Representatives answered questions about what led them to public
service and many other topics related to our State Government. As
they toured the State House, the young people began to get a picture
of "a day in the life" of a Legislator and what it means to be in
public service. The morning's activities culminated with meeting the
Speaker of the House, Representative Shawn Jasper.
A highlight of
the day was lunch in the State House cafeteria with several Senators
and Representatives from around the state in attendance. The 4-H
members had the opportunity to sit with the Senators and
Representatives to engage in frank conversation about the issues of
concern to them. Event organizer Michele King, was not surprised,
but truly humbled by the level of sincere engagement on the part of
Legislators and youth alike.
After lunch, the youth
learned about the complex legislative process from David Aulukonis,
Acting Director of the Office of Legislative Services. They then
wrapped the day up with a tour of the NH State Library, and learned
about the 300th Anniversary of the Nation's oldest library.
As a
result of their State House experience the young people said they
learned: "Senators and Representatives are very underpaid for what
they do, but they do it for the community"; "the people in our
government are very passionate and dedicated"; and "the government
isn't as mysterious as I thought". They also said they would;
"get more involved in their community government"; "take on more
leadership roles in my county 4-H program"; and "encourage others to
get more involved in their government".
The NH 4-H
Program, a program of UNH Cooperative Extension, strives to develop
young people who are engaged and informed citizens. Through programs
like this we are intentionally connecting youth to their government
so they will come to understand "the big picture" and their role in
civic affairs. For more information about UNH Cooperative Extension
programs, visit www.extension.unh.edu.

discuss and decide the future of Pittsfield's Town Forest at a
general meeting at the Pittsfield Middle High School Library

Possible benefits of the Rocky
Ridge Town Forest:• Pittsfield, a town with both city and rural
character, should have a place for folks to go hiking, hunting,
jogging and horseback riding or to enjoy a picnic in the woods. A
144 acre town forest can improve the quality of life for many of the
people who do not own large parcels of land.
• The Town Forest
is a place where neighbors can come together to share and celebrate
their connection to each other and to the land. The Pittsfield Youth
Workshop supports the creation of a Town Forest which will provide
many community service and recreational opportunities for their
youth members.
• The Pittsfield Conservation Commission has an
active Forestry Plan in place for the proposed Town Forest. This
plan will produce significant revenue which will pay the management
costs of the Town Forest while creating Recreation and wildlife
value at no cost to the taxpayers.

There is no such thing as real poverty in 21st Century Britain, Lord Alan Sugar has said. The business magnate, who progressed from humble beginnings, pointed to ownership among the working classes of smartphones, large televisions and white goods, which would have been considered unimaginable luxuries to the inner city communities of his childhood.
Lord Sugar, 68, made his remarks during an interview with The Times, saying: "Who are the poor these days?
"You've got some people up north and in places like that who are quite poor, but they all have mobile phones, being poor, and they've got microwave ovens, being poor, and they've got televisions, being poor.
"Compare that to 60 years ago. If you really want to know what poor is like go and live where I lived in Hackney, where you didn't have enough money for the electric, didn't have a shilling for the meter."
Now said to be worth £1.4 billion, Lord Sugar started life as the fourth son of an East-London tailor; the family lived in a council flat.
In his autobiography he recalls attending secondary school wearing a uniform made by his father, to save money. His father "had this worry about money falling out of my pockets," so created exceptionally deep trouser pockets for his son's short trousers, with the result that "they looked like they were falling down, and this tempted the older lads to pull them down".
He also recounts how his family were unable to afford a party for his Bar Mitzvah, so his friends parents told them to drop him. They did.
He became a multi-millionaire at the age of 31 with his consumer electronics company Amstrad, and now admits that he never looks at the price of anything, "apart from planes and boats and things like that, and also the price of fuel is interesting, as far as boats and planes are concerned."
He doesn't know the price of a pint of milk. As for a dozen eggs "If you asked me to guess, I would have said a fiver, a tenner. A loaf of bread? No idea."
Critics will likely say that he is out of touch, therefore, with the poor of modern Britain. A report by the Debt Advisory Centre earlier this year found that more than 4 million people have had their electricity cut off "regularly" after failing to pay their bills. 15 percent admitted to having it cut off every few months and six percent said it happens weekly.
A further 4.7 million people on pre-pay gas meters say they often cannot afford to top it up. The West Midlands was the hardest hit, with 63 percent regularly struggling to top up their meter.
During the wide ranging interview, Lord Sugar, a former Labour party member slammed Jeremy Corbyn's leadership, saying "I just don't see how the Labour party are going to get into power again in the next 10, 15 years, if this is the way it's going to go. It's out of the ark, this Robin Hood stuff, stealing from the rich to give to the poor. If they ever did get into power then people like me would just give up and leave the country."
Lord Sugar quit the party in May, citing a "shift to the left" in the party's politics, and now sits as a crossbench member in the House of Lords.
And of the Ukip-supporting columnist Katie Hopkins, who first found fame as a contestant on his show The Apprentice, Sugar says "She's chosen a niche in the market for herself. She's become Piers Morgan on steroids, if there could be such a thing."

Hi my name is Lauren and welcome to our travel website.
Youneedtovisit is a travel website aimed at parents and families. The reason I have set up this travel website has come from a love of exploring new places with my husband and 2 children. Travelling is something I've always enjoyed. Having lived in Edinburgh for 22 years I moved to Wales to be with my husband and visiting new places helped to get to know the area I was living in.
Since having my two girls who are now 5 and 8, every holiday or trip we have taken I have written a little diary of the places we visited and enjoyed and thought it was time to document it live and continue further.
I love taking my girls to new attractions or historical venues to help broaden their horizons and show them what culture is around them.
"I hope you enjoy our travel website and get inspiration and ideas of where you may want to go yourself with your family."
I want to educate them as best I can and help with their development from a tiny person up in to an adult. I like to show them that anything is possible and by taking them to different places it lets them explore and become creative and best of all seeing them laugh and enjoy.
I always give honest opinions on everything I write about, and in the interests of disclosure, any posts where we have had any complimentary access or affiliate links will be clearly flagged.
Welcome to our site. You need to visit, we are so happy to have you!
PR & Media
We are very PR friendly, so please contact me at email@example.com if you would like to work with us. I am always open to working with brands, destinations and holiday providers as long as there is a strong connection to families having fun on holiday, on a day trip, at a theme park or even local museum.

Esalen Massage & Bodywork is the international benchmark for conscious, caring and skilled touch. Our signature 'long stroke' is both an art form and a scientifically validated healing art form.
Touching Essence™, developed by Ellen over the last 30 years, is a multi-sensory, multi-cultural, touch based shamanic healing art. Combining skilled and caring massage, with sound healing, essential oils, the use of mantra, visualization and affirmation in support of desired outcome. We work with deleting old, limiting, data from our internal dialogue, and replacing these old, limiting messages with new software. Our brains are the best computer we'll ever own; we learn to use our brains in support of enhancing our life experience. Touching Essence works with the map of the 8 Chakras.

This moving meditation practice is poetry in motion, a playing of the body as one plays amusical instrument. Classical Esalen® Massage is said to elicit the relaxation response of the autonomic nervous system. Once engaged, this branch of our nervous system takes us from fight/flight to a state of relative peace and wellbeing. Once deeply relaxed, the human organism is designed to self heal.

CVS Caremark hosts grand opening of new mail service pharmacy, customer center
WOONSOCKET, R.I. — CVS Caremark held a grand opening event on Tuesday at its new mail service pharmacy and customer center in Mt. Prospect, Ill.
The 150,000-sq.-ft. facility, representing an investment of approximately $67 million, supports pharmacy inventory and fulfillment needs across the CVS Caremark PBM book of business, which serves approximately 60 million members throughout the United States. With the capability to fill 50 million prescriptions annually, this new facility is an example of CVS Caremark's continued investment and commitment to the State of Illinois, the company stated.
(Larry Merlo, president and CEO of CVS Caremark, gives Governor Quinn of Illinois a tour of the new mail service pharmacy in Mt. Prospect)
CVS Caremark hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a tour of its new Mt. Prospect facility. Company officials also took the opportunity to recognize and thank supporters from the state and region who helped make the development of the Mt. Prospect mail service pharmacy possible. Fifty-nine Illinois-based businesses were used during the construction of the facility.
The new facility will employ more than 400 people by the end of 2013, including pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, automation technicians and process-improvement engineers. Technology at the facility enables 90% of prescriptions to be dispensed and 80% of prescriptions to be packaged for mailing, using full automation. In addition, in order to further assure safe and accurate dispensing, all prescriptions are visually checked by one of the on-site pharmacists before they are mailed.
"This new CVS Caremark mail service pharmacy and customer center is a great example of our commitment as a pharmacy innovation company to helping people on their path to better health," stated Larry Merlo, president and CEO of CVS Caremark. "The combination of technologically advanced automation and the expertise of our highly qualified pharmacy teams help us ensure people have convenient access to affordable medications."
"We are pleased that CVS Caremark chose to build this new state-of-the-art facility in Mt. Prospect, Illinois," said Governor Pat Quinn. "I am happy to have the opportunity to participate in this ribbon-cutting event today, and appreciate the role that CVS Caremark plays both as a national healthcare innovator and as an employer in our community."
The facility also includes a CVS Caremark customer center complete with an executive briefing room designed to introduce clients and future partners to CVS Caremark's integrated programs and services. Video and touchscreen technology illustrate the CVS Caremark story and allow direct interaction with CVS retail pharmacists, specialty pharmacists and mail service pharmacists, as well as with Minute Clinic nurse practitioners, via real-time telepresence technology.
In combination with the mail service pharmacy capabilities, the customer center offers opportunities to work with clients and partners to identify and develop solutions that leverage the full CVS Caremark enterprise for improving access, cost and quality for patients and payers.

Southeast Asian generics market projected to grow
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — A variety of macroeconomic factors are driving growth in the generic drug market in Southeast Asia.
According to CPhI, which is sponsoring the CPhI Southeast Asia Summit 2013 in Bangkok next month, the drug industry in the region is projected to grow to $3.9 billion by 2016, and macroeconomic factors, such as government policies, stable economies and growing population are driving generics.
"Generics will grow in the next five to 10 years, but without a balanced environment for cultivating innovation, such development will not be sustainable," Bayer Healthcare, China, senior patent attorney and conference speaker Jennifer Jian Kang said.
Government policies include plans by the Indonesian government to implement universal health coverage. "This is a huge undertaking by a government who, within the next four years, has targeted touching on over 90% of the population — a huge undertaking given Indonesia's population of 240 million people," SOHO Group president, CEO and director Marcus Pitt said. "The pharmaceutical market dominated by local players has been gearing up its production and distribution infrastructure to cope with the expected multiple increases in generics."
The growth in generics, coupled with the fact that many governments in the region support local business, puts local generics manufacturers in a strong position. This means that most foreign companies will need to set up local partnerships, giving a welcome boost to local generics companies. - Penina Mezei, Attencia
L'Oréal Luxe Group launches makeup brand co-created by YouTube beauty vlogger, online community
NEW YORK — Em michelle phan, a start-up brand from the L'Oréal Luxe group, marks the first makeup line co-created by a community of beauty lovers and YouTube beauty vlogger Michelle Phan.

text: HBO really knows how to do good TV. They recently had the premiere for a new documentary called "One Thousand Pictures". It's created by Jennifer Stoddart to tell the story of Robert Kennedy's funeral train through the stories of many of the people who waited to see it. This story is particularly told through the photographs of Paul Fusco who was on the train tirelessly taking pictures of the vast cross section of Americans who came to pay their respects to the assassinated Senator.

Being a squealer is no laughing matter
I REALLY don't like it when I squeal like a girl, which I have been known to do.
Oh come on.
Surely none of you are surprised by that.
I'll bet you've all squealed like a girl on the odd occasion.
Even you girls.
I did it just the other night during that big storm.
I wasn't scared, mind you.
It was just that a big bolt of lightning caught me by surprise.
And I squealed.
Thankfully, my wife wasn't home when it happened but she had a good laugh when I described it to her later.
Probably because I said it sounded like a cross between Santa's elves singing the high notes in Here Comes Santa Claus and the sound a kitten makes when it sneezes.
Not very masculine, I'll grant you.
But you don't plan to squeal, do you?
It just happens.
If I was planning to squeal it would have a more debonair, devil-may-care, man-about-town tone to it which would mean it was no longer a squeal but a warrior's battle cry.
And they are very different things, let me tell you.
I squeal on roller-coasters.
And water-slides.
I'd probably squeal on a bungee-jump but we're never going to find out about that.
I don't think I'd squeal if I went skydiving - being unconscious from fear would probably make it difficult.
My most embarrassing squeal happened in a very public place and my wife still brings it up after a few drinks, which is most days of the week.
We were walking out of a popular Gold Coast cabaret venue where the staff were all dressed as ghosts, ghouls and other monster-like things which, for some reason I can't explain, start with the letter "g".
As we passed down a dark corridor a gargoyle jumped out at me and said "boo" ... or something equally frightening.
And I squealed.
Very loudly.
I also did a little skip like the girls used to do in primary school.
It only took a split second for me to compose myself and square up to the gargoyle in a very manly way.
I stepped between him and my wife, just to let him know he'd have to get through me if he wanted to hurt the woman I love.
It was a natural Alpha male response but I needn't have bothered.
My wife had already collapsed on the floor in a fit of laughter, tears rolling down her cheeks.
About 20 other people around us were also having convulsions.
The funniest thing they'd ever seen, apparently.
I hear the gargoyles still play the video at their Christmas party which is completely unprofessional, if you ask me.
Even gargoyles should show a bit of respect for squealers.
Even if the rest of you mob don't.

More than 100 workers at the Vauxhall van plant in Bedfordshire could lose their jobs in a restructure.
The workforce has voted in favour of a move to a single shift to keep production at Luton as markets in mainland Europe decline.
Severance, including early retirement, is to be offered to 117 workers.
A new design for the Vivaro van is to be produced in 2014, £95m invested in new equipment and apprenticeships boosted, in a deal agreed with unions.
Proposals came from negotiations with the Unite union and were accepted by the workforce in a vote.
The new arrangements will begin on 1 January 2013.
A statement said the new arrangements are designed for "stability by matching supply and demand".
They would also "ensure Luton plant's sustainable future … by bridging the current downturn in mainland Europe", the company said.
The plant will recruit more than 100 new staff to support the launch of the new Vivavro model in the second quarter of 2014 and some of them will be apprentices.
Vauxhall aims to market about 40% of production in the UK

Rural Education Matters (REM) – December 2010
By Jennifer Jarosz
Richard Wood and I attended the MAPSA (Michigan Association for Public School Academy's) conference held at the Cobo Center, in Detroit on November 1st and 2nd. Along with over 3,000 other charter school authorizers, administrators, leaders, board members and teachers there were over 150 vendors of all types to aid in everything from school finance, curriculum, green cleaning products, management companies, insur-ance companies and school lunch programs. These vendors were there to assist schools that are just beginning along with offering established schools new and exciting programs to add to there existing schools.
Each day there were over 50 breakout sessions, designed to focus on specific areas of school excellent to discuss and learn from. Richard and I attended a number of these sessions both days. One session included New School Development, a session that provided us with insight into successful practices that build a culture of leadership and responsibility in preparing a plan for new school development and appointing development teams for success. Other sessions for New School Development focused on how to define quality, schools of excellence and high performing schools. Many new school developers joined in open discussions describing what quality means to them and how these standards will raise the bar across Michigan. We also attended sessions geared towards administrators. One session was presented by Vern Hazard of the Flippen Group. He provided us elements of a process called EXCEL that increases student attendance, academic achievement and teacher satisfaction thus decreasing discipline referrals and drop out rates. We gained insight from administrators and teachers on how to empower people and capture kids' hearts in the classroom. This session gave us a better understanding of what we will expect from our school leader, administrators, teachers and every school employee, setting the tone for leadership in our school, that will be not only expected of our staff, but each and everyone of our students.
Lunch each day offered us an opportunity to gather for two highly acclaimed keynote speakers. Monday we had the pleasure of learning from Rita Peerson, a teacher, administrator and counselor who is known for maximizing a person's strengths and building the quality of the charter school movement. Her speech focused on how to make a difference in every student regardless of economic class status. Tuesday Mitch Albom inspired us to "Have a Little Faith", taking us on his personal journey that showed us how learning to trust and believe in others we can overcome differences and allow great things to happen. Mitch provided motivation to all attendees to overcome the adversity and misperceptions charter schools face. Both individuals reminded the thousands of listeners of how important it is to step out from everyday status quo and do something out of the ordinary to meet the needs of children before the needs of adults!
This experience allowed us to not only gain knowledge from successful individuals in the charter school world, but an opportunity to network with unique leaders in education.
Rural Education Matters will meet again Thursday, December 2nd at the Township Hall at 7:00 pm. The community is as always encouraged to attend. This month our curriculum consultant, Tony Diola, will be sharing a presentation on testing programs for ELA. As always we value any and all questions or comments you may have to further meet the community mandate to develop a quality educational institute for the children of our community. If you have any questions you can reach REM at (989) 632-1114.

Another very important component of the Primal Lifestyle. Eating and exercising the right way are the baseline of getting your body and mind healthy and balanced, but:
PLAY reduced stress and contributes to overall mental and physical well being.
PLAY exerts an epigenetic influence on our genes to shape a lean, fit and healthy body.
PLAY will help you remain positive and creative.
PLAYwill help you find that child within and have fun.
Let out your craziness and
Making sure you have enough "play time" or "fun time" during your day, week, month, year and whole life is super important to having a long healthy life. Doing something you really enjoy either on your own or with friends. The key here is that you are not seeing it as work or something you have to do. You need to be looking forward to this and enjoying and smiling whenever you are doing it.
PLAY could be my favorite hobbies such as Water-skiing or Kickboxing, this can be Tennis, Baseball, Bowling, Golf, SUP, Hacky sack, Diving, Fishing, whatever tickles your fancy.
Playtime is best enjoyed with friends as it maximises the socialising element of the Primal Lifestyle. It's also advised that it has some sort of physical difficulty as it adds to the whole "moving frequently" concept and it will then aid in keeping you fit as well as happy.
Add as much play time as you can each week, minimum 3 times per week!

Tom Sheffer has sent in two piano compositions.
Tom writes: 'The first piece is called: "Tales of Adventures Old" and tries to convey the image of an old man's tales of past heroics and adventures. The second piece is called: "The Last Piourette" and tries the convey the image of a prima ballerina's last dance.'
Both are very well written. I found myself lost in them. Tom is a fabulous player - nice touch and very expressive. It seems perhaps Chopin and Liszt were influences.
Tom looks forward to input from the forum members.
Thanks Tom for sending this in for all of us to enjoy!

Suicide Squad #30
- Story by
- Sean Ryan
- Art by
- Andre Coelho and Scott Hanna
- Colors by
- Brett Smith
- Letters by
- Jared K. Fletcher
- Cover by
- Alex Sinclair and Doug Mahnke
- Publisher
- DC Comics
"Suicide Squad" #30 is the last issue in the series — unless you count "New Suicide Squad" #1 just around the corner. With "New Suicide Squad" writer Sean Ryan also writing "Suicide Squad" #30, this is almost an issue #0 as he deals with the aftermath of "Forever Evil" even while he sets up the new series that's soon to follow. And so far, it's off to a reasonable start.
Some parts of "Suicide Squad" #30 are clearly developments that Ryan was handed. The wreckage from "Forever Evil," for instance, and the mess that's been made in recent issues. And on some level, Ryan is given room to wrap up the series. But don't let the cover fool you; half of the cast has already been swept under the rug, pushed off to one side so that the new characters can be brought in.
Still, those who read issues #0-29 will see some familiar faces. Amanda Waller's new position within Task Force X and A.R.G.U.S. is heavily altered here, a strange mixture of punishment and reward for what worked and what didn't. It's a story with a heavily dejected Waller, one stripped of most of her power and ultimately walking with her head held low. Of course, if you've ever read a comic with Amanda Waller before, it seems almost inevitable that she won't stay that way for too long.
The bigger focus is on two of the stars of the upcoming "New Suicide Squad," namely Deadshot and Black Manta. Ryan is playing Deadshot as the, "Been there, done that" old hand of the Squad, and it's a perfect position for him. His blase responses to the newbies who are ready to break out are amusing, without giving up the ruthless nature that is Deadshot. This is a character who's been around the block and knows when it's best to just hang tight. Black Manta as someone who can't adjust to life on the outside free of his goal to destroy Aquaman feels a little problematic, though, perhaps because this isn't someone who's been hunting Aquaman for quite that long a time. It's a definite drawback to the shortened timeline of the rebooted DC Universe; this feels like a development that would have worked better in the previous incarnation of the line.
Andre Coelho and Scott Hanna step in on art duties to wrap up the series, and the book looks perfectly fine. The steely-eyed gaze of Black Manta on the final panel of the comic is strong, for instance; that almost-smile on his face as he prepares for his new life is a little chilling. And likewise, the dejection on Waller's face as she slides into her chair in the final scene is the most beaten down I think we've seen the character so far. There's a lot of finger pointing in this issue though — every time you turn around that index finger appears to be out — and it's a very strange visual crutch that starts to feel a little tired by the fifth or sixth time. While Coelho isn't penciling the new series (that's going to new talent Jeremy Roberts), he'd certainly be a good fill-in artist if the book needs it.
"Suicide Squad" #30 says goodbye to the old Squad, even as it prepares to greet the new Squad. It's a good enough lead-in to "New Suicide Squad" #1 that I'll definitely take a look at it come July. It's a shame that "Suicide Squad" wasn't able to wrap up with a bang, though. This is really more epilogue than finale.
