United Nations Global Compact
Initiated by the UN Secretary General at the time, Kofi Annan, the Global Compact rallies companies, organizations, employees and civil society around ten universal principles concerning human rights, labor standards, the environment and the fight against corruption.
Through a collective effort, the Global Compact seeks to promote responsible corporate citizenship to ensure that the business community helps develop the solutions needed to meet the challenges of globalization.
Global Compact: 10 principles
The Global Compact asks businesses to adopt, support and apply, within their respective spheres of influence, a set of fundamental values (concerning human rights, labor law, the environment and the fight against corruption). In other words, businesses are only asked to change in the areas that really concern them.
The ten principles are derived from the following texts:
- Universal Declaration of Human Rights
- International Labour Organization's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work
- Rio Declaration on Environment and Development
- United Nations Convention Against Corruption.
Within these four main categories the 10 principles are as follows:
Human Rights
- 1. Businesses should support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights;
- 2. Make sure that they are not complicit in human rights abuses.
- 3. Businesses should uphold the freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining;
- 4. The elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory labor;
- 5. The effective abolition of child labor; and
- 6. The elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation.
- 7. Businesses should support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges;
- 8. Undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility; and
- 9. Encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies.
- 10. Businesses should work against corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery.

Ferno Challenge Pro Fall Arrest Harness size M/L
$525.00 $486.75
Ferno Challenge Pro Full Body Harness
The Challange Pro from Ferno is an amazingly lightweight, full featured, incredibly comfortable harness. When I talk about comfort, I am not talking about walking around with a harness on. I am talking about being in suspension because that is what really matters.
Ferno claims that rope access is one of its applications. This is really the only thing it is not good for. Please don't try to use it for rope access. Everything else, however, is ideal. One of the very few fall arrest style harnesses that is actually ok to hang and fall when attached from the front.
A very well designed, well made, high-end harness with a multitude of uses. A solid piece of rope access equipment.

The Left-Wing Evolves
Reader comment on item: Anti-Semitism Evolves
Submitted by Octavio Johanson (Italy), Feb 16, 2005 at 12:11Before 1989, the left-wing was mainly concerned with capitalism and social-justice. Come 1989 and communism collapsed. At that point, the left-wing had to reinvent itself and they adopted multiculturalism as their new reason to exist. That is still true today.
At the moment, multiculturalism means integrating Muslim immigrants (the new proletariat), into white Christian societies (the new capitalists).
In this crazy multiculturalist view, the Jews are seen as an obstacle to peace between Muslims and the West, especially Europe. Israel is seen as a burden to the new era of friendly relationships between Europe and the Muslim world.
Consider that, liberals, socialists and left-wing lunatics still see the Jews as rich and therefore justify anti-Semitism as a new fight against capitalism.
Turkey is a good country because it is Muslim. Israel is bad.
The left-wing has evolved and so has anti-Semitism. There are now liberal anti-Semites, people who defend the Muslims because they are seen as poor.
Left-wing lunatics love everything Muslim and hate the Jews, whom they incredibly identify with the United States.
Left-wingers call their opponents "racists". They conveniently forget how racist and anti-Semitic they themselves are.
Left-wingers are the new Anti-Semites. The expression "left-wing fascists" is very appropriate.

Common Spirits in Goshen gets more funding for construction by asking friends
Ryan and Jami Hawkins are still on course to open their dream, but it meant asking for more help.
The Goshen couple didn't want to, but publicly asked for more money to get Common Spirits, a craft cocktail bar, open at 111 E. Lincoln Ave.
The couple had already raised $15,000 through a crowdfunding campaign.
They didn't want to make another public appeal.
"I would rather have a tooth pulled," Jami said.
But they felt they had no choice. They couldn't get an SBA loan, don't have family money and have just purchased a house. "What are we supposed to do?" she said.
The good news for them is that between the public post and some private conversations, they've had people step forward to loan them enough to open. Ryan said Tuesday they're still finalizing some of the arrangements with a few people, but think they'll have the $15,000 they need.
Who are the funders? "It's people who care about Goshen. And want cool things to happen," he said.
- RELATED: Goshen bar Common Spirits raises $15,000 of startup funds in less than a month, May 11, 2015
Construction is progressing and the couple hopes to have the bar open in a few months, they said.

"This place is great! This is my first time ever taking self defense classes, and I love it! Everybody here makes you feel so comfortable and welcome and really encourages you to do better! Not only are you learning some of the most effective self defense you are also getting an amazing work out! Hezi is the best teacher, and I would recommend these classes to anyone! :)!"
Ms. Alexandra Penn
"This is what you need for a child who wants to do martial arts. Maximum range of techniques from karate to jiu jitsu. Hezi is great coach focused on transfer of his knowledge and his invaluable experience to his students!"
Mr. Igor Bassov
"Exceptional !!! I have taken martial arts classes from 3 different places (each with good teachers) in the past 30 years, and this is by far the best ever! Hezi is the instructor and he teaches the best and most practical techniques I have ever experienced !!!
I am currently taking the beginner class, have participated in the mixed advanced/beginner class, and have many positive comments. Please read below:
- Like I stated, the techniques taught are fast, and effective.
- The workout is incredible! Be ready to sweat like no gym you have ever been to (and the workout time flies by because the it reflects and emphasizes the techniques. No time to be bored).
- Very friendly environment.
- Maybe above all, Hezi takes a real interest in each individuals development. I have spoken with students who have been there for 1 year and longer and they are bigger fans that I am, which to me ensures that I am not just impressed at first, but have a lot to look forward to !!!
- Final point, they offer a free intro lesson so you can get a feel for the class before signing up.
I dare you to find a better self-defense class because you wont !!!"
Mr. Scott S.
"Here you will learn much more than just punching and kicking. Besides my physical shape, this system upgraded also many of my life skills. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR EVERYONE!"
Mr. Eliran Refael
"When I began the Israeli Martial Arts Academy nine months ago, I joined to 'just learn a little self defense'.
I quickly fell in love with this place! I found that I was getting SO much more than JUST self defense. Hezi Sheli is an amazing instructor that inspires you to put forth 100% every time you put on your gi! Hezi has taught me control, respect, perseverance, good spirit, along with a myriad of martial arts. Hezi is more than a sensai, he is a mentor and a great friend.
As a female, I thought a mat full of 200+ lb guys and a boot camp style atmosphere would be difficult and intimidating, however, I have been so pleasantly surprised with the way in which all the members have embraced me and encouraged me. We truly are a family! The martial arts style and form I am learning at the Israeli Martial Arts Academy is a far more complete system that I have ever experienced, and I have been part of several gyms, however, this place transcends the boundaries of a typical gym... This place is more than a gym, it is home!
I highly recommend the Israeli Martial Arts Academy to everyone! "
Ms. Vanessa Tsakrios
"I'm a 40 years old average guy,and the best thing i ever did in the last 20 years was to joined the Israeli Martial Art Academy ,and like many others before me,i can only say that for those who wants to train and practice a mixture of judo,jiu-jitsu and karate,and of course regardless of their age, be in the best shape of their life ,then this is the place..!!!
With the guidance and teaching of one of the best practitioner in the I.M.A. Hezi ,a fourth dan black belt, no non sense kind of a guy,with a heart of gold,will take you to a level, where the colour of your belt doesn't matter,but your spirit and dedication. My 9 old daughter has also been taking classes for over a year,and i can honestly see the difference in her physical abilities and state of mind."
Mr. David Zerbib
"I've joined the Israeli Martial Arts Academy almost a year ago. I could go to any other place closer to my home (I live in West Hills) but I've found this place to be the right place. I was overweight and out of shape, a typical couch potato and then I met Hezi the owner. A great guy and amazing instructor with a personal touch that created a place with a family feeling and a boot camp regiment. Today, I am leaner and in great shape.
I am 46 years old and I am sure that I will never be the next Bruce Lee but I am a happy loyal customer and a friend to, Hezi, the place and the system he teach.
If you are looking for the real thing, Hezi is!"
Mr. Udi Menashe
"Great place. If you want to work harder than you thought possible you will learn so much. Boot camp? Hezi is the best! Utz!"
Mr. Rob Weinstock
"That was a great class and I just wanted to thank you again for all your work putting on a great seminar."
Mr. Don Gaffney
"Dennis Survival training has made me a more confident and stronger person, inside and out, and i know that I now have a much greater chance of survival In all aspects of life thanks to this system, I definitely feel like I'm part of a big family, Dennis Survival Is no joke, the training Is tough but very rewarding, this Is the real thing, and I am hooked!"
Mr. Rob Grimes
"The kids are so excited and love "Dennis Survival". They are not only learning but say they LOVE IT."
Mrs. Mandy Ellen

text: Jean Phillippe Tremblay examines how the media in the US is in the controlling hands of a handful of commercial enterprises exercising extraordinary political, social, and economic power. Having always allowed broadcasting to be controlled by commercial interests, the loosening of media ownership regulations that began under Reagan and continued under Clinton has led to the horrifying present scenario where five mega companies today control the vast majority of the media in the United States. These companies, with their endless corporate concerns, not only don't prioritise investigative journalism among their media holdings, but in fact actively clamp down in it. Tremblay illustrates the disastrous consequences that have befallen the few journalists willing to stick their heads above the parapet. The nefarious nexus of the military-industrial complex and the news media which paved the way for the Iraqi war is just one example of the tragic legacy of a country which continues to put corporate interests above public good.

Times To Smoke Pot
By Ben Livingston
This article originally appeared in the April 2013 issue of Dope Magazine.
Most cannabis consumers know 4:20, the global shared smoking phenomenon. A good time, to be sure, but serious tokers need more symbolic times at which they can thoughtfully imbibe. With this list of potential marijuana moments, we explore and explain toke time numerology.
A worldwide meme ingrained in the minds of most pot people, 4:20 celebrates the hour during which a group of San Rafael teens decided to meet after school to smoke weed 42 years ago.
Halfsies are half-size hits at the midway point to 4:20. It is a time to appreciate the small things: a clean bong, life-giving water, humble one-hitters.
Double down on 4:20 with two bowls at 8:40. Consider the larger things: the universe is big, we make our own reality, war is over if you want it.
Legal puffs taste sweetest at Initiative 502 time. Take solace living in the land of legal pot, and send positive energy to the remaining drug war regions. May they soon sprout.
Prohibition's over on 12:06, the first date a pot legalization initiative took effect. Know the power of positive celebration by smiling appreciatively at your pot.
On the 20s
Each time zone has its own 4:20, and you can join them. Consider the connected nature of our world. Bonus points for naming a city in that time zone.
Mixed-up bowls
People with dyslexia love 2:40, 4:02 and 2:04. It's time to load the bong with a mix of strains, to confuse oneself even more. Find happiness in confusion at these times.
Mix-ups plus one
Mix a bowl and add one—a sprinkle of hash, kief or oil perhaps—at 10:24, 10:42, 12:04, or 12:40. Practice transcending the confusion and fully embrace forgetting.
Live for today
Every day of the year has a unique toke time, from 1:01 on January 1 to 12:31 on December 31. Remind yourself that no day exists but today, and no time exists but now.
Birthday hits
If your birthday is June 18—like Jack Herer—your time is 6:18. Similarly, you can send more powerful prayers to distant loved ones simply by imbibing on their birthday hour. It's a mental ping through the indica ether.
Military time
Most peoples' 2:20 p.m. is 14:20 in so-called military time. It's a good time to honor service members past and present.
180-degree rotations
Turn the wall clock upside down and 10:50 becomes 4:20. Ponder duality, the concept that opposites comprise everything. Work on letting go of attachment to one's certainty: the opposite may be an equal truth.
Powers of three
Pythagoras thought three was the perfect number. We think in ternary, not binary. Duality is achieved through two, while relativity is achieved through three. Most of the above times create a "numerological" sum of 3, 6 or 9—like 4 + 2 + 0 = 6.

Thoughts On Quick Solutions Of free slotsWhat Are The Usual Catches In Free Slots?

The Suckerpod is constructed of materials unsurpassed for long-term marine and outdoor use — stainless steel, anodized aluminum and high-strength fiber composite polymers.
Concerned about wind resistance while boating, paddling or sailing? With its three stainless steel legs streamlined to reduce aerodynamic drag, the SuckerPod's performance in wind and spray places this tripod in a league of its own.
At Kayalu, our materials testing of the SuckerPod began and ended in Boston Harbor — subject to salt spray, heavy seas and even the occasional nor'easter.
We've mounted the SuckerPod on a variety of watercraft including sea kayaks, sit-on-tops and stand-up paddle boards and our own classic Boston Whaler Revenge powerboat with its feet stuck to three sides of a 175 hp Evinrude outboard.
The SuckerPod easily fits the bill to join the Kayalu family of premium mounts.
Under the Hood
We manufacture the SuckerPod using ball-and-socket components patented by RAM Mounts, the world leader in mounting systems for use in challenging environments.
No expense has been spared — the SuckerPod's assembly includes 22 component parts from the RAM Mounts catalog.
These include the SuckerPod's high-strength composite power-locking suction feet and ankle joints, seven high-strength composite couplers, seven marine-grade, anodized aluminum ball joints and a lightweight, solid aluminum, triple-ball hub.
The camera head above the hub is fabricated of high-strength composite with a stainless steel 1/4"-20 standard tripod stud. An SBR rubber pad on the 1/4"-20 tripod stud protects your camera and video equipment from abrasion.
This camera head is compatible with any camera accepting a standard tripod screw including the GoPro Hero (all models) with the factory GoPro Tripod Adaptor.
As an alternative to a standard head, the SuckerPod can be purchased with a RAM Mounts GoPro Hero adaptor. To read about different options for the GoPro cameras, click here.
Our own marine-grade components and fittings complement the SuckerPod head and assembly.
The SuckerPod's stainless steel legs, insulated in UV-resistant PVC, are virtually unbreakable.
The legs have a tensile strength easily capable of managing the impact of a paddle whack or the brush of tree branches.
Below the SuckerPod's head, we've added a hefty stainless steel eye that lets you fasten the entire tripod to your deck. You can use this eye with your own cable to prevent loss of the tripod (and your camera) while you are repositioning the feet, or with a steel cable lock as a theft deterrent.
A shock cord pulled taut between this eye and your deck can provide downpressure on the tripod feet — especially useful if you are paddling through heavy seas, cruising into a headwind, or mounting the SuckerPod on a vertical plane such as a car door.
How does the Suckerpod™ differ from a Kayalu Claws-All™?
Because the Suckerpod is engineered of lighter weight materials, we don't recommend a Suckerpod for mounting a heavier camera or device.
Major Differences:

Online Roundup Friday 11th May 2012/
Well, it's Mother's day weekend here in Australia (isn't it at different times to spare postal services around the world?). We hope you've remembered to get Mum something nice. If not, why not try the world of online vouchers/coupons. A gift for mum straight from the printer.
On a completely different note, it seems it's digital wallet week again.
Digital, mobile, online and emerging technology news from Australia and around the world.
Mother's Day
According to someone, Mother's Day is second to only Christmas in eGifts.
Actually, someone else thinks it's big business as well.
Digital Wallets
Digital wallets are nothing like the paperless office. Wallets are smaller. That said, something has to stick soon.
Interestingly CBA thinks "smartphone payments were safer than credit card payments because a PIN was required to access the phone and Wallet service and the phone could wiped of information remotely is it was lost or stolen". We wonder if that will translate into cheaper merchant fees?
- MasterCard PayPass Wallet trials with CBA & Westpac - Banking Review
This digital wallet approach includes a case for your iPhone with a fingerprint scanner. We're sure the Apple designers are wringing their hands about this one.
- iCache's Geode – Secure Digital Wallet for iPhone – Wins 1st Place in Two Categories at CTIA E-Tech Awards - PYMTS.com
American Express is in on the mobile wallet action as well.

Some things to consider about how, and how not, to service your customers online here. You can get it right and wrong irrespective if you're big or small.
- Miss Terry Shopper and the Smashed Art Deco Vase - PowerRetail
David Jones is really trying to get their e-commerce capability up to scratch.
- David Jones' Digital Metamorphosis is No Small Task - PowerRetail
Anecdotally, we'd have to agree that most businesses aren't ready for the Australian National Broadband Network (NBN). It's a little hard to commit when it's so far off and political games keep moving the goalposts.
- Online Retailers Aren't Prepared for the NBN - PowerRetail
Around the world
Social media? A waste of money without a plan?
Online social stats in coat hangers. What will they think of next?
Brazil's growing middle class is getting online. As is India's middle class. And they all want something nice.
Apparently the affluent in the US are an easy target for Luxury brands using mobile commerce (depending on your definition).
- Luxury Brand Apps Can Open the Mcommerce Door - eMarketer
Big data. Big data. Apparently people with cash know what it is. They're investing in it. The realities of most companies is that they're so parochial, how is it going to work?
- Investors are pouring funds into big data - Computerworld
More crowdfunding news. Another report with big numbers (but not that big).
- Crowdfunding raised $1.5 billion in 2011, says report - Computerworld
Rats and mice
We've previously mentioned the phenomena of online retailers getting into the bricks and mortar space. Well, what about an iphone game creator getting into theme parks?

Learn, Remember, Share
Life over the past few months has been intriguing to say the least. Not only did I get married 2 months ago, but so much has changed along with it. I no longer live at home, which is weird because I've lived in the same house – aside from camp & college – since I was born. I now pay my own bills, and have new responsibilities – some that I expected and some that I didn't. I take care of things differently, as there is a deeper level of ownership involved in life. I do some work I've never done, and no longer have to do other work that I've always done. But, maybe most interesting for me is my current relationships with my friends.
I have always been used to having friendship that are in the same phase of life as me, but that is no longer the case. In high school and college friendships were so different. Everyone seemed to be doing the same types of things: looking for a girl to date (or marry); studying for a test; longing for graduation; goofing off when work should be done; going to bed at 3 in the morning; working a part-time job; sleeping in; etc… But now life is different for all of us. I expected it to be different, but the most intriguing part of all of this is that I was told a lie. I was told by so many people that it is nearly impossible to relate to unmarried people if you are married. Maybe not in those exact words, but I've heard so many people say that they wished they had more married couples to interact with now that they are married because single people just don't understand.
I understand that people who are married go through things that single people don't and that, as a result, they might not understand those things completely, but I don't think this marriage makes us unable to relate to people – saying that is harsh and unloving. Instead, what I'm learning that I can relate to them in a new and profound way now that I'm married. For example, my 4 best friends are all in totally different phases of life, and I love how I can relate to each of them: one has been married for 4 years; one is in a serious relationship; one is corresponding with a girl; and one is currently single. I have loved this because it has helped me be able to learn, remember, and share as I interact with them on a weekly basis.
As they go through situations I've been able to interact with them in new ways. I've been able to hear their story and learn from them; share my story and give advice; and remember well the times when I was in those same phases of life. The fact that I am married has not caused me to not be able to relate to them, but it has allowed me to relate to them in ways I never could before. As a 'newly-wed' I can relate to them in a way I couldn't as an engaged man, dating man, or bachelor, and it has truly been a blessing.
I think it is a shame that we so often look for people who are simply in our phase of life because we are in that phase of life. My hope that we can look to those who have been with us the whole time and attempt to learn, remember, and share with them as we journey together.

Brand Building
While the difference between a good and bad logo can have a positive or negative impression, your brand is much more than just your logo, tagline, company colors and letterhead. Your brand – your identity – is a thought, a lasting or ephemeral impression in the mind of your customers, employees and prospects.
What you "say" and what they "hear" or "see" can be very different. We'll help craft all aspects of your brand identity, to create the desired impression and make a lasting and profitable impact on your bottom line.
Vision + Mission Statements
A vision statement is an organization's guiding hand that paints a vision of the future – where the organization is going, and its "big picture" objectives. The vision statement helps to inspire, guide and challenge the employees to achieve its mission.
A mission statement is a written overarching plan that defines an organization's purpose. It outlines the organization's culture, values and core competencies that support its overall vision.
Custom Direct can help you articulate and communicate your vision and mission statements to keep you on your path to continued success and growth. We will work with you to weave these common threads throughout your communications – to build a stronger awareness and understanding of your business.
Positioning Statement
A company's market position is about how it is viewed in the mind of the marketplace – market perception. Market positioning is the attempt to control this perception, especially as it relates to your competition.
As the name infers, a Positioning Statement should "position" the company or product in the mind of its target audience. It should differentiate you or your product from your competition, be benefit-oriented and leave an impactful and lasting emotion.
Unlike a Tagline, which is communicated externally to the marketplace, a Positioning Statement is internal. A Positioning Statement serves as guide for creating a marketing strategy and tactics.
While image and reputation contribute to perception, they cannot control it to the extent that marketing can. Create a distinct and lasting impression on your market with a positioning statement carefully crafted by Custom Direct.
Logo Design
A good logo can leave a positive, lasting impression in the mind of those who see it. So what makes a good logo? It's a combination of planning, creativity and simplicity, along with the right font, color and graphics, to help communicate your company's overall brand.
Effective logo design considers the business – it's products, services, industry, personality, customers, competitors, and more. Our experienced logo designers follow a proven process that includes market research, design concepts, testing, and integration. Just as important, we'll do a thorough search to make sure it's unique and doesn't infringe on existing trademarks.
Content Development
Content development. Messaging. Copy writing. Story telling. The process of effectively communicating your message, in any medium, requires an understanding of how to MOVE people to take some form of action.
Features don't excite. Benefits are boring. You must take a step further and translate your features and benefits into a story that resonates with prospects, validates your customers' choices, and your marketing instantly becomes more understandable and more memorable.
Developing engaging content positions you as an expert and thought leader in your field, and inspires confidence in your brand. Good content also drives Internet search engine optimization and inbound marketing leads, and improves your ranking on search engine results.
Telling YOUR story has the potential to engage your buyers by showing them you understand their challenges and information needs. Let Custom Direct tell your marketing story.
There are many different options for advertising today – print vs. digital, targeted vs. mass media, audio vs. visual, and the list goes on. As with most marketing efforts, advertising has synergistic effects when multiple media are used, and when integrated with other marketing channels.
Advertising can be used to build awareness, enhance an image, evoke emotion, sell a product, and more. When including advertising in your marketing mix, it's important to understand who you're trying to reach, the best medium for reaching them, the message you want them to receive and the action you want them to take.
Custom Direct can help you select the best media options and create compelling ads that get your message across to your target audience.
Trade Show Marketing
In certain industries, exhibiting at trade shows can be a cost-effective strategy to build brand awareness, showcase a company's products or services and meet potential customers face-to-face. Exhibiting at trade shows can also be expensive. If done right, however, you can realize an attractive return on your investment that continues well beyond the event.
Custom Direct's trade show team can help you develop your trade show strategy and related tactics – from selecting the right show and exhibit space location, to in-booth displays, events, literature and giveaways. To maximize trade show exposure, we can develop pre-, during- and post-show marketing and public relations campaigns to bring foot traffic to your booth, generate qualified leads, and convert leads to customers.

As a non profit organization telling our story is so important to us. The Custom Direct Team spent a lot of time listening to us in order to capture the essence of our mission and organize our website in a way that tells our story efficiently and effectively. We couldn't be happier with the product! Your responsiveness allowed us to move the project from start to finish without delay. Thanks for your high degree of professionalism, wonderful team work, understanding of our resources and passion for helping us improve our social media message!
The leadership and staff at Custom Direct have been instrumental in all phases of the relaunch of the Marcel's website. Because they understand our business so well and are aligned with our functional and stylistic needs, we were able to go from concept to design to implementation in a very reasonable amount of time. The team at Custom Direct is creative, resourceful, budget conscious, flexible, and reliable. When challenges are encountered, they find solutions rather than simply reporting on the challenge. They answer the questions I don't think to ask and they stay focused even when I create distractions or ask them to research something that ends up being an unimportant detour. Custom Direct is a key partner to our growing business.
Custom Direct worked closely with us at The Quarry Cable Park as we launched our new website. They were able to help us design, brand, and launch a fantastic website which is not only user-friendly, but seamlessly incorporated changes that we made along the way. We riddled the team with challenges and they went above and beyond to quickly find solutions. They had the ability to ease our minds and the expertise to balance our needs and wants. The Custom Direct team exceeded our expectations and we look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.
We enlisted the help of Custom Direct to modernize existing literature and develop new brochures for our participation in a trade show as well as for use in our sales efforts through our field sales force. It was a pleasure working with Custom Direct. They developed three brochures that were creative and of high quality. We were extremely pleased with their performance and are going to involve them in more of our literature and marketing projects.
Custom Direct's strength is not only that they provide collaborative design, coordination of photography and complete follow through to the printed piece, but the high standards of the quality they produce are hard to duplicate in the marketplace. Another thing that helps alleviate my stress is that I have no worries once Custom Direct has committed to a project. They do it, do it well and have hit every single deadline (and there have been some really 'there's no way they're going to pull this off' deadlines)!
We hired Custom Direct to modernize our corporate logo. They did such a great job, we decided to use them to create a corporate capabilities piece. Next, they designed our signage for trade shows and the graphics for our booth. We are always pleased with their professionalism, creativity and attention to detail. They go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure they get us what we need ahead of our deadline and right on budget. I recommend them to anyone seeking a creative/corporate communications firm!
From the start, Custom Direct took the time to understand our business, our needs, as well as our clients' needs (Bank of America; First National Bank of Omaha). The outcome of this insight has not only led to the proverbial 'meeting and exceeding expectations', but setting a standard and level from which we rate our other vendors. Custom Direct offers us a partner with a deep understanding of creative and production. More importantly, Custom Direct offers the people and resources that care about our clients as much as we do.
Custom Direct has been a valuable partner to The Swiss Colony for more than 25 years. They have provided valuable problem-solving research, direction and support in printing, prepress, art direction and photography projects. We look forward to their continued support.
In converting our workflow from in-house to an external partner, Custom Direct made the transition as painless as possible. The professionalism of this group is second to none. It has been a pleasure to work with them and we look forward to continuing our association.
I just wanted to thank you and your staff for designing my new web site. It turned out beyond my wildest dreams and has brought many complements from my staff and clients. The new design so complements my operation and it has already brought many clients to my shop.
When working with Custom Direct on a project I feel like they are part of the AMP team. For the past four years we have worked together on what I consider a huge project. It involves over 400 images each year, some come in as film, others are digital. And did I mention it falls in my very busiest part of the season? But Custom Direct makes the process pretty painless. They truly are pros when it comes to color. And what really makes everyone happy here is they are competitive with pricing and I have never had any surprises at billing time.
After over 35 years, we changed our name, moved our offices and needed a new identity – quickly. Custom Direct was able to guide us through the process with their creativity, timeliness and professionalism. Their follow-through, attention to detail and personal consideration for our needs was extraordinary.
The team at Custom Direct goes that extra mile and have become an invaluable and trusted part of our marketing team here at AMES Taping Tools. We've been working with them on a wide array of projects including (but not limited to) retail sales circulars, advertising materials and website maintenance. They really embrace the brand and help maintain the brand integrity in any request we've sent their way. In addition, they treat each request with a sense of urgency that has been unmatched and we couldn't be happier with the results.
We have worked with Custom Direct for over 4 years. They have an excellent creative eye and our magazine looks so much better than it did before. Custom Direct took the time to understand our business and our clients and they help us throughout the entire publishing process. If I ever forget anything, they remind me and make sure each issue is complete. They are organized, meet deadlines, and their process makes it very easy to work with them. I highly recommend Custom Direct for magazine layout, design, and publishing.

In any organisation, we hear about the need to manage a 'change process' to navigate staff through a major transition such as a new IT system, staffing restructure or relocation
Meaningful conversations at work can help avoid potential incidences of suicide
GLOBAL EXECUTIVES are not monitoring areas of HR risk with the same scrutiny as other traditional risk issues, leaving them open to severe financial and reputational consequences, a global report has found.
"HR risks are the challenges that stem from managing your people, programs and processes, both inside and outside the walls of your business," said Bill Leisy, Americas markets and services leader, performance and reward for Ernst & Young, which conducted the report.
"By proactively addressing these areas, the C-suite, as well as those in HR and finance, can drive sustainable, positive business results. But if not managed properly, these issues may cause significant damage."
Risks in the HR arena extend beyond what many would consider the responsibilities of the HR department. Examples include insufficient training and development programs for employees, pay and performance alignment issues, as well as weaknesses in manageing vendor relations (such as relationships with recruiting agencies or healthcare assistance hotlines), among others.
The report, based on the results of a survey conducted among global finance, HR and risk executives from Fortune 1000 companies, found that in today's economic climate, C-suite executives are contemplating ways to make broader changes to their businesses. If viewed on a company-wide basis, manageing HR risks can drive significant financial (and non-financial) performance improvement efforts by identifying areas where these opportunities may exist.
Global organisations do not have a full understanding of the extent of HR risks, which may be because they are not easily identified, the report found. But results also show executives do have the desire to look outside the designated responsibilities of HR and build an understanding of how these risks, when managed well, can help them meet the desired goals of the business.
The report found that 43 per cent of respondents said the area of strategic HR risk – in which organisations have the ability to improve business performance – will gain the most exposure over the next three years. Individual risks – such as talent management and succession planning, ethics/tone at the top and pay and performance alignment – are all seen as having a high or very high presence in terms of their impact and likelihood of occurrence within an organisation.
Gus Cummings, a partner with Ernst & Young in Australia, said that HR risk is indeed manifesting as a matter of greater importance with much greater credibility. "Greater emphasis is being placed on HR risk management strategy development and implementation. This supports many disciplines in HR management, behaviour management, organisation structuring, risk and reward management, communication, cultural change and diversity," he said.
He said, however, that the challenges also present good opportunities for competitive success for those who get the responses right. Cummings also cautioned that if something as obvious as HR appears undermanaged, the focus needs to continue to be on truly strategic risks to the business.
The report, 2008 Global HR risk: From the danger zone to the value zone –accelerating business improvement by navigating HR risk, found that 41 per cent of respondents said their Board of Directors either never formally reviews the companies' HR risk profiles or only reviews them on an ad hoc basis (with only 39 per cent communicating results from the HR risk management team into the corporate risk management process).
However 34 per cent say traditional corporate risk matters are formally reviewed on a quarterly basis (or even more frequently), and 14 per cent say they are never (or only) reviewed on an ad hoc basis.
Bill Farrell, partner, Ernst & Young, said the risk impact of talent shortages and ageing will manifest itself in several ways.
"HR managers need to take custodianship of this people risk profile," he said.
"The talent shortage has resulted in organisations accepting lower competency standards and lower skill levels – ultimately resulting in risk impacts on operations and projects. We know, for example, the key reasons for project failures are lack of knowledge and competency at project management levels."
Key findings
• Less than half (42 per cent) of companies validate and prioritise their HR risk profile
• Only 43 per cent analyse HR risk coverage by business unit and develop, monitor and enhance their plans
• Nearly half (46 per cent) validate their HR risk profile with executive management and the audit committee
• Slightly more than half (56 per cent) of the respondents say they identify and document the likelihood and impact of HR risks to the organisation
• Only 29 per cent of companies say their corporate risk budget will be increasing over the next 12 months, while 57 per cent say the budget will stay the same

Paganism competed with Christianity on Belarusian lands for quite a long time. Lithuanian tribes that had polytheism with gods similar to East-Slavic ones until the 15th century strengthened its positions. As recently as in the beginning of the 20th century, there was a pagan temple in Minsk near Lodačnaja street. A giant stone that was worshipped there is now part of Uručča Boulder Museum exposition.
One can still trace pagan heritage in Belarusian folklore and festive traditions. Check paganstva.org to find out more about paganism and its modern supporters in Belarus.

Artists Who Are Cool With Pirating Music
Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead and Prince were pioneering innovators who actively released their new music to P2P file-sharing networks. A widely-celebrated example is pop sensation Justin Bieber. His success and popularity were fuelled by free sharing on YouTube, Twitter and P2P networks. On a more balanced note, well-known musicians like Lady Gaga, Norah Jones, Neil Young, Shakira and several other big stars have stated that they don't care about their music being pirated.
Others may not speak out aloud but Liam Gallagher, founder and lead singer of rock band Oasis has eloquently expressed what many musicians feel about piracy: "I don't mind it. I hate all these big, silly rock stars who moan – at least they're f**king downloading your music, you c**t, and paying attention, know what I mean? You should f**king appreciate that – what are you moaning about? You've got f**king five big houses, so shut up!"
Proponents for piracy do garner a lot of attention when they speak in favor of piracy. It could be a loaded attempt to market themselves or perhaps they do feel honestly about it. There are many success stories of Indie musicians who went the P2P way. While their reasons may vary, it's clear across the board that pro-piracy musicians and celebs tend to care more about sharing their music than selling it for a price.
Justin Bieber's popularity is fuelled by music sharing. His first 2 albums still achieved Platinum status in USA and Canada.
Lady Gaga doesn't mind people downloading her music for free, telling Times Online "touring makes up for piracy."
Dave Grohl believes piracy is not a crime. He supports downloading because it's people trading music, saying 'stop bitching about the 25 cents' lost at a time.
Shakira supports internet file-sharing. Music piracy makes her feel closer to her fans, calling it the democratization of music.
Radiohead guitarist Ed O'Brien feels downloading is like home taping. He doesn't agree file sharing is killing the industry, knowing downloaders also buy concert tickets and merch.
Joss Stone thinks music piracy is great. She loves it. Period. She feels piracy is brilliant because music should be shared. The only part attached to music Joss dislikes is business!
Nelly Furtado has outright stated she supports music piracy. She thinks musicians shouldn't worry about making money, saying 'if you love music, you're going to make it anyway.'

The only thing wrong with this fantasy fuck festival with Linsey, the most beautiful woman with the SCORE-GROUP is that it is not me that gets to nail this woman of perfection.
Unable to play the trailer? Try one of these: MP4 640X360
Featuring: Linsey Dawn McKenzie and Terry
Date: July 24th, 2013
Duration: 20:28
This SCORE Classic time warps to the first hardcore video that English superstar Linsey Dawn McKenzie made with her new husband. Sadly, the marriage didn't last but this XXX scene did and was a huge hit on DVD (Ultimate Linsey) when it debuted. It was especially popular in the UK where Linsey rules. Linsey was nervous about this on-camera virgin voyage because she didn't know what kind of effect it would have on her career and Linsey has always been mindful about how her fans react. It took a long time for her to decide to go hardcore. But the majority of them enjoyed seeing her sucking and fucking her hub's big cock while her world-famous HH-cup tits dangled and swayed. Always candid, Linsey admitted she was "Scared, because lots of things were channeling through my mind. Things like, 'Oh my God, this is it. I'm finished. Say goodbye to my career.' It's very nerve wracking.

A Death in the Dales
- A murder most foul
- When the landlord of a Yorkshire tavern is killed in plain sight, Freda Simonson, the only witness to the crime, becomes plagued with guilt, believing the wrong man has been convicted. Following her death, it seems that the truth will never be uncovered in the peaceful village of Langcliffe ...
- A village of secrets
- But it just so happens that Freda's nephew is courting the renowned amateur sleuth Kate Shackleton, who decides to holiday in Langcliffe with her indomitable teenage niece, Harriet. When Harriet strikes up a friendship with a local girl whose young brother is missing, the search leads Kate to uncover another suspicious death, not to mention an illicit affair.
- The case of a lifetime
- As the present mysteries merge with the past's mistakes, Kate is thrust into the secrets that Freda left behind and realises that this courageous woman has entrusted her with solving a murder from beyond the grave.
- It soon becomes clear to her that nothing in Langcliffe is quite as it appears, and with a murderer on the loose and an ever-growing roster of suspects, this isn't the holiday Kate was expecting.
"Frances Brody matches a heroine of free and independent spirit with a vivid evocation of time and place. [A] Death in the Dales is a novel to cherish."
"The talented Brody again proves adept at superior plotting, which, when combined with a charming and determined heroine and an appealing setting, produces an updated take on the English village mystery that leads to a clever conclusion."
Frances talked the The Bookbag about the settings and period of the Kate Shackleton books, and what the future has in store for Kate.
Suspense Magazine chose A Death in the Dales for their "Best of 2017" in the Cosy category; Find the announcement, and three questions with Frances, in the December issue of the magazine.

"... cozy without being twee and covers some serious issues. The storytelling style is soft, but the actual threads of the story are taut. Kate uncovers some very dark happenings in the most unexpected of places. Her familiarity with the landscape, culture and dialect is very natural and adds to the story she's telling in this delightful read."
Robin Agnew, Mystery Scene
"A Death in the Dales is a book that readers will want to get comfortable with, on the sofa, drinking a cup of tea/coffee. Why? Because this is a terrific British cozy with such a great plot and cool characters that it will steal away the day... (the) unexpected ending will have readers clapping. If looking for deep romance, however, the Kate and Lucian storyline may be explored more in the future. For now, it is the mystery that commands the book and sets up that all-day read. 5-Stars to this one!"
"Frances Brody's seventh and newest Kate Shackleton mystery ... has such an intriguing premise, and the way the storyline plays out is completely absorbing. This is the seventh book in the series - I've read four - and the best so far. I loved pretty much everything about it, from the quaint English village setting with all of its interpersonal tensions, to the well-developed characterizations of both adults and children, to the pacing - which is leisurely enough to reflect rural life in the Yorkshire Dales in the mid-1920s, but with sufficient activity that the novel is never dull...
"For readers who enjoy sagas or historical novels about long-buried secrets but don't think they enjoy crime novels, this book would be a great choice as "gateway" to the historical mystery subgenre."
"As usual, Brody sets a deceptively gentle pace, allowing her story to unfold naturally and realistically but always tugging forward. It doesn't take long for the quiet pace to get the pages turning quickly as the plot becomes more complicated, but Brody makes it easy to keep up as she holds the reader's interest. Part of the interest arises, of course, from the characters, and Brody does a nice job of portraying even minor players and making them real enough that they and their actions are believable. Kate is the most well-developed character, and her likeableness and spunk do much to enhance the novel, as does the convincing portrayal of the times."
"Frances Brody is an excellent storyteller and her books are well-plotted and complex murder mysteries in the historical setting of the 1920s and in the style of the golden age crime fiction."
"In Kate, Brody has created an assured, self-reliant woman - rare in a society that still regarded them as second class citizens,"
"Brody efficiently weaves together the various threads, setting murder against the beautiful but harsh backdrop of the Yorkshire Dales. There are lovely snippets of 1920s life, the cars, the fashion, the food, the Yorkshire dialect, and the aftermath of the Great War.
"More than just a detective story, a period drama with strong female characters, a thoughtful reflection of the impact of the war on the lives of everyone, in city and country."
"Frances Brody sets the gold standard in historical crime writing with her sublime gift for characterization, her fantastic ability to transport readers back in time and her talent for taking them on a nail-biting journey where the twists and turns come quick and fast, the suspense never flags and the tension is taut and palpable. A Death in the Dales is a gripping, compelling and intriguing tale guaranteed to keep readers eagerly turning the pages late into the night and enthralled until the very last full stop."
"...a series that gets stronger all the time. The central characters are well drawn and appealing... The strands of the plots are woven together with skill and make a convincing conclusion. The historical background is beautifully portrayed..."
"It felt so different, so fresh and so clever, a story written with a lot of subtlety and gentleness, and also with a great dose of humour. Even though the plot was complex and the author was adding new mysteries on the way, it was still a very neat, logical read, and the characters were brilliant representatives of this age. It was truly wonderfully pieced together and I really can't wait for more Kate's adventures."
"It's very difficult to recommend further reading which comes up to the standard of the Kate Shackleton books"

Today is... MOVING DAY
I am so lucky to have a fabulous group of friends who are all coming over to help me get things moved, even though they have to carry some pretty heavy stuff down 3 flights of stairs and get it up to the 5th floor of the new place (there is an elevator there, thank goodness). Apart from good, strong pals, what do I need to make it through moving day?
To start things off right, I've got a skein of Dream in Color Squooshy in Spring Tickle that's about to become a pair of de-stressing socks. Because when things get tough, the best way through it is to knit, right? I'm already enjoying this and a high-sugar, high-caffeine beverage to help me get going bright and early.
I'm ending the busy and sweaty afternoon with a concert, listening to a few of my favorite songs performed live and enjoying the company of one of my sweetest friends. Laura and I are seeing The Weepies! So excited! For now I'll leave you with a taste of Weepies goodness...

Yashwant Sinha, Shatrughan Sinha should resign, says BJP leader

- Yashwant Sinha, Shatrughan Sinha should resign, says BJP leader
Criticising Finance Minister Arun Jaitley over imposing a "deeply flawed" Goods and Service Tax (GST), Yashwant Sinha on Tuesday said countrymen can rightly demand he quit for hardships caused and also felt he is a "burden" on people of Gujarat.Shatru ghan Sinha and former Union Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha.

Telangana BJP spokesperson Krishna Saagar Rao on Wednesday said Yashwant Sinha and Shatrughan Sinha should resign from the party if they have âproblemsâ on governance and are not finding enough opportunities to raise issues at party forums. Rao said both the leaders have long ago crossed the partyâs disciplinary line â" âlakshman rekhaâ, as he put it.
Criticising Finance Minister Arun Jaitley over imposing a âdeeply flawedâ Goods and Service Tax (GST), Yashwant Sinha on Tuesday said countrymen can rightly demand he quit for the hardships caused and also felt that he is a âburdenâ on the people of Gujarat.
Jaitley is a Rajya Sabha member from Gujarat.
Actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha, a Lok Sabha member, said recently that the BJP would be able to live up to the expectations of the people only if it ceased to be âa one-man show and a two-man a rmy.â
The BJP views Yashwant Sinhaâs outbursts against Finance Minister Jaitley as being âpurely disgruntled remarks of an individual who seeks some participation in the government and he is not provided for,â Rao told PTI.
âSo, only out of that disgruntlement â" that he is not being considered for administrative or ministerial position â"he is attacking the Finance Ministry and Arun Jaitley. Otherwise, how does it substantiate that his attack is only coming at election time?â he asked.
âWhenever the BJP goes for election, that is the exact time Yashwant Sinha or Shatrughan Sinha make remarks like these. It happened during Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and now it is happening during Himachal (Pradesh) and Gujarat polls,â Rao said.
âIt goes to show there is a devious plot which is unfortunate that they are trapped in. The BJP considers that somebody else is using them,â he said.
Rao said if the two leaders were so disturbed and peeved b y the way the government is being run, they, being members of the National Executive Council and Yashwant Sinha also being member of âMargdarshak Mandalâ, should have raised the issues at party forums, which gives them many opportunities to do so.
âWhile he (Yashwant Sinha) does not do that, he only uses media to attack our own leaders. It goes to show that there is a deviant plot, they (Yashwant Sinha and Shatrughan Sinha) have become puppets in the hands of âspecial interest forcesâ in the country,â the BJP leader said.
Noting that the two are very senior leaders, Rao said if the party has to take action against them, it has to be discussed at a wider level and the decision cannot be knee-jerk, which the BJP would not indulge in.
âAn ideal situation is they resign from the party. They should take a call, if they have so much of problems in governance and they are not finding enough opportunities to voice within the party, they should resign,â h e said.
Rao also said allowing without doing anything about it, these kinds of open dissent, when there are party forums where they can debate and discuss issues, and remarks which can harm the interests of the party, certainly shows the partyâs decision-making process in a poor light.

Colorado Medicaid Disputes Findings in Federal Report
Thousands of Blind or Disabled Children Would be Denied Medicaid Eligibility
August 16, 2016
Media Contact
Marc Williams
Denver, CO - The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General (OIG) has notified the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (Department) that Colorado and six other states received millions of dollars in unallowable bonus payments from the federal government between 2010 and 2015. The payments were made to the Department under the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA). Colorado was awarded more than $157 million in CHIPRA bonuses and the OIG is requesting the state repay the federal government more than $38 million. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) own words describe the CHIPRA bonus payments as a way to "encourage and assist States in reaching and enrolling more uninsured children who are eligible for Medicaid."
"The Department strongly disagrees with the OIG's findings as we have dutifully complied with federal law, as well as the spirit of the CHIPRA bonus payment provisions," said Susan E. Birch, MBA, BSN, RN, executive director. "Both the statute and federal guidance emphasize that states include all children who are blind or disabled and who meet eligibility requirements for Medicaid as of July 2008 – 'with no exceptions, limits or 'carve-outs.'' The Department is investigating its options to further contest these findings."
With this notice, the OIG effectively disqualifies children who are blind or disabled from the CHIPRA bonus payment program calculations. The Department complied with the federal statutory definition of "qualifying children" buy including children who are blind or disabled in the current enrollment data for the CHIPRA Bonus payments. The OIG notice is contrary to the plain language of CHIPRA.
About the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing
The Department administers Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid Program) and Child Health Plan Plus as well as a variety of other programs for low income Coloradans who qualify. For more information about the Department, visit Colorado.gov/HCPF.

Final editor of the Irish Press
Hugh Lambert, the last editor of the Irish Press, died in Dublin after a short illness. He was 61.
was in his blood. His father had been a printer with both the Irish
Press and Irish Times. Hugh began his career as a sub-editor with the
highly successful Evening Press in the 1960s. In 1971 he also became
film and TV critic for the Sunday Press, then the biggest circulation
national Sunday in the Republic. Subsequently becoming features editor
of the Sunday Press, he was appointed production editor in 1980.
the departure of the celebrated editor of the broadsheet Irish Press,
Tim Pat Coogan, Hugh became editor of the daily in 1987. Within six
months he was given the task of transforming the Press into a tabloid
but the paper was already in considerable difficulty through lack of
investment and the company had entered into a disastrous association
with the American Ingersoll company. Coogan had made his opposition to
the tabloid version of the Irish Press clear so for Hugh, it became
evident that he had been given a poisoned chalice. The tabloid format
was not one which regular readers took to. Moreover, the task of
transforming the Irish Press from within proved almost impossible, with
reporters remaining broadsheet in approach and reluctant to embrace the
style of the tabloid format.
The only colour available on
antiquated printing presses was the red used in the paper's masthead.
The last issue of the Irish Press appeared in May 1995 and Hugh, along
with many colleagues in the Irish Press group, was left jobless.
spells with the fledgling Leader, and later the short-lived Evening
News, Hugh joined the Irish Times, initially on the 'Education and
Living' supplement.
Hugh Lambert is survived by his wife Angela and sons Alan, Paul, John and Sam. He was predeceased by a daughter, Anna Victoria.

Pastor Rick Joyner is back with his nonsensical – and may I say blasphemous? – praise of Trump. This time, he is comparing the Orange Scourge to Jesus.
According to Joyner, the chaos in the White House is a good thing because it shows that Trump, just like Jesus, is an extraordinary leader.
"I'm expecting some chaos in the White House team for the duration of Trump's administration, and I am saying this is because he is such an extraordinary leader. It's not a lack of leadership. It's a different kind of leadership than we're used to being in any place in our government because our whole system has evolved in a way of – you know – elevating people to leadership positions in our present government system that are not real leaders. They're politicians. Trump is a leader!
Now Jesus, as I shared yesterday, he was the best leader will ever be. … Here are these guys (the apostles) who lived with him. He personally chose them for his inner core, his team, you know; his cabinet, if you will, and trained them himself. They lived with him for three and a half years, and yet on the night before he was crucified, they're still fighting over who is the greatest. Why were they fighting? Because they are stallions! These are serious leaders."
Well, I'm not as well versed as Pastor Rick in the Holy Bible (and seriously, I wonder if he's ever read the entire book – I have), but I seem to recall that on the night before Jesus was hauled away to be tortured and crucified, none of his "stallions" came to his defense. In fact, those "leaders" Joyner refers to denied even knowing him and ran away.
Elevating Trump to the status of Jesus, a being whom billions believe is the physical manifestation of God, is pretty insulting to Jesus. It's also pretty insulting to our intelligence to equate a man who heaps scorn upon immigrants because of their ethnic backgrounds and their lack of ability to speak English upon arrival on our shores to the Christian savior. Did Jesus go around boasting that he grabbed Mary Magdalene's pussy – because he COULD? Did Jesus tell his apostles to go rough people up when they didn't agree with his message? Some say that Jesus may have married. If so, did he cheat on his wife and sire children with five different women? I mean, I'm just asking.

Circa. 1900's and originally found looking rather rusty and tired I set about cleaning and restoring these little iron furniture and jewellery box keys to its natural beauty. You will notice that I have not painted over the metal as this loses the antique quality of the key – I wanted to retain the rustic feel. The key is strung on a luxurious piece of velvet ribbon in a dusky rose colour and finished off with a lovely little bunch of cotton lace bound forget me-not flowers. This is a really pretty summer necklace full of charm and character – no two keys are the same it is truly one of a kind!
Perfect for weddings, as a keepsake, home décor and more

Direct from the Great White Way, Aaron Lazar, received a standing ovation from a sold out crowd following his premiere performance of "From Broadway to Hollywood" at Rockwell Table & Stage in Los Angeles this week.
An evening of songs and anecdotes about personal experiences with the legends of stage and screen that he encountered during his remarkable career. The show written by comedy genius, Bruce Vilanch, and produced by 2017 TONY Award winning Producer, Scott Mauro (Dear Even Hansen, The Glass Menagerie, Priscilla Queen of the Desert), received overwhelming praise from the evenings patrons, including stage and TV star, Ilene Graff, who remarked, "A wonderful evening. Aaron Lazar sings like a dream, is funny and charming, and is awfully cute, too!" as well as screen and scream icon, Dee Wallace, who added "Oh My God! What a remarkable voice. I have not witnessed such a professional, funny, enjoyable and energetic performance in a very long time. Everything you could want in a live cabaret show. I smiled, cried and will go again anytime he returns."
Among the list of toe tapping and melodic tunes Mr Lazar offered an enthusiastic and devoted audience were Something's Coming, Lot Of Livin' to Do, She Loves Someone Else, All I Ask of You, Music of the Night, Lady is a Tramp, If I Loved You, Almost Like Being in Love, Pretty Women, Bring Him Home, I LOVE LA (in dedication to the venues patrons) as well as a very special Hollywood Medley.
With almost a dozen Broadway credits to his name, including Les Miserables, Mamma Mia, A Little Night Music and The Phantom of the Opera, Aaron Lazar, is uniquely qualified to bring Broadway to the West Coast … or anywhere else in the country that may be lucky enough to book his show. Lazar creates a seamless cabaret, which features both high-quality singing and a humorous story through-line. His personal stories, which flowed well with the song selections, offers a compelling insight and remarkable talent, that can bring an audience to their feet.
Critically acclaimed on stage and screen, Mr. Lazar has one of the most diverse careers of any young leading man. He has starred on Broadway 10 times, from his debut in The Phantom of the Opera to Mama Mia! and Les Miserables to his most recent work in Sting's musical The Last Ship. He has worked alongside some of Broadway's best including: Bernadette Peters, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Angela Lansbury and the late Elaine Stritch (A Little Night Music); Jeremy Irons, Joan Allen and Marsha Mason (Impressionism); Kelli O'Hara (The Light in the Piazza); and legendary creatives Bill Condon, Sting, James Lapine, Joe Mantello, Sir Trevor Nunn, Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Stephen Sondheim.
