Made in Britain
can be personalised
Following on from our hugely successful Personalised Destination Prints, we're pleased to now offer wedding date prints in the same stylish design.
These fabulous bespoke reproduction bus blind prints are personalised with all the important wedding details: Date, Place, Time, and of course the happy couple's names!. A fantastic piece of statement art and a unique gift for the über cool.
Each print is individually created and emailed as a proof to you for your approval before printing. We normally send the proof within 3-5 days of accepting your order, so please keep a look out for it.
Need your print quickly? We offer express shipping on our unframed wedding print to mainland UK destinations. For orders placed on a weekday, with the additional express shipping option, we'll upload your proof to your customer page within 6 working hours. We still need your approval on your artwork before dispatch. If we get sign off before 1pm we'll dispatch your print on the same working day. Sign off after 1pm and we'll dispatch the following working day - working hours are 9.30-17.30, Monday to Friday. We'll use Royal Mail Special Delivery which will require a signature on delivery. We cannot offer an express service on framed prints at the moment.
Please be aware, unfortunately we are unable to send framed prints to the Highlands and Islands, non-Mainland UK and overseas.
made from:
Our Giclée prints are created on fine art archival matte paper using a professional large format printer and Ultra Chrome K3 pigment based inks. In combination with the museum grade archival papers that we use, your print quality will last a lifetime.
We post them to you unframed, wrapped in luxury tissue paper in a protective cardboard tube. Or if you'd prefer, you can have it custom framed in a black frame, teamed with a black mount board, by local framers using FSC approved wood (please allow an additional 10-12 days for framing).
Unframed prints will be printed with a white border around them. This allows for easier and cleaner handling when unwrapping and when framing, which we highly recommend to preserve the quality of your print. This border is not part of the print and is meant to be trimmed or hidden under a mount.
29x54cm approx. as a framed print, or 21x47cm approx. as an unframed print.

Sussman defined and examined the linked concepts of "critical contemporary issues" and "complex sociotechnical systems." Critical contemporary issues encompass the most significant and pressing challenges we face today, including issues such as global climate change, energy/environment, the global economy, national security and mobility. These issues often involve technical systems and components, and also have great social, political and/or economic relevance.
- Video: Watch the event
Sussman discussed some different types of complexity, explaining that the study of complex sociotechnical systems must also be applicable to the actual design of such systems.
"Those of us interested in complex sociotechnical systems are not just observers of the systems," Sussman said, explaining that these systems are "purposeful." Ultimately, it is not enough to consider whether a system is performing well, but it is more important to "consider what good performance actually means," he added.
Sussman offered a real-world example of a major transportation project in Mexico City to show many interlinked challenges (such as mobility and productivity problems, environmental impacts on human health, and social equity issues), all existing within a complex institutional sphere.
Sussman suggested that a key aspect of the study of complex sociotechnical systems is to have core, underlying concepts for creating integrated approaches across domains — so that challenges are not just addressed individually and in isolation, but are addressed with a set of principles and tools that can be transferable to many different systems.

Santa Claus at the Healey Asylum, Lewiston, c.1950
Contributed by Franco-American Collection
The Healey Asylum (Asile Healey) was an orphanage operated by the Sisters of Charity of Ste-Hyacinthe, a religious order from Quebec who were invited to Lewiston to help care for the Franco-American population. The Asylum was opened in May 1893 on the corner of Ash and Bates Streets in Lewiston to accommodate the boys under the care of the Sisters who had previously been living at their convent on Sabattus Street.
Although originally conceived as an orphanage, the Healey Asylum functioned more like a boarding school for needy families. Boys were cared for until the age of 12, as the sisters considered it improper to care for boys as they reached puberty.
The Asylum was named after Bishop James Healy, the second Roman Catholic Bishop of Maine. (1875-1900), who donated $5,000 to its construction. In 1968, the orphanage became a daycare center; in 1970 it became part of the 'model city' program funded by the Federal Government. The sisters continued to work there until the Asylum closed in 1973.

Rebutting Tax Criticism, Romney Gives A Number
By editor
Originally published on Thu August 16, 2012 4:19 pm
Mitt Romney told reporters Thursday that he has never paid less than a 13 percent tax rate over the past decade. Until now, the presumptive Republican nominee had sidestepped questions about his personal income taxes. Romney has come under withering criticism over the tax issue from President Obama's campaign and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

McGuckin appointed UW-Parkside Dean of Students
The University of Wisconsin-Parkside has announced the appointment of Dr. Tammy McGuckin as Dean of Students. Dr. McGuckin brings 18 years of experience to the position most recently serving as assistant vice president for Student Affairs and Dean of Students at the University of West Florida (UWF) in Pensacola.
Dr. McGuckin said she is "very excited" about joining the UW-Parkside community and working to attain the university's mission.
"I am looking forward to working with the dedicated staff in Student Affairs to fulfill the UW-Parkside Promise," she said. "Through collaborations within and across divisions, we will strive to provide programs and services for students that support the university's academic mission, positively impact retention and persistence to graduation, and promote an inclusive environment.
Dr. McGuckin joined the University of West Florida in 1998 as an assistant director of housing and residence life. She was named assistant vice president for Student Affairs in 2008, adding Dean of Students duties on an interim basis a year later. The interim tag was removed in July 2011. Her doctorate in education was earned at UWF.
She spent the first four years of her professional career at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, where she earned her bachelor and master of arts degrees.
As dean of students at UW-Parkside, Dr. McGuckin will support the teaching/ learning process and implement the university's overall mission. She will serve as a contact person for people with questions about university policies and procedures or who may be experiencing difficulties. The office is committed to assisting students in achieving their educational goals and provides them with advice and referrals.
Dr. McGuckin's appointment is effective Aug. 1, 2012. Her office will be located in Wyllie Hall.

SAN FRANCISCO--When Bebo co-founder and CEO Michael Birch took the stage in a theater at the Metreon complex here to announce the social network's Open Application Platform, he made the eyebrow-raising claim that the new initiative was, "dare I say it, 100 percent compatible with the Facebook platform."

The Jun group is exploring the environmental impacts of human activities through improved understanding of the fate and transport of contaminants and nanoparticles. In particular, we aim to improve our understanding of the climate change impacts on water supply. We also are studying biogeological cycling in complex environmental systems from nanoscale to macroscale, with a view to conserving and restoring sound water environments.
In addition, our group is performing a comprehensive analysis of the potential risks associated with CO2 sequestration strategies to mitigate climate change and developing new treatment techniques and new catalysts for purifying drinking water and remediating contaminated water and soil.

After this week's earlier entry, Chinese Architecture, Old and New, I just had to run this short follow-up. Homeowners Luo Baogen and his wife refused to allow the government to demolish their home in Wenling, Zhejiang province, China, claiming the relocation compensation offered would not be enough to cover the cost of rebuilding. So, adjacent neighboring homes were dismantled, and, bizarrely, the road was built around the intact home, leaving it as an island in a river of new asphalt. [3 photos]

Optima Beverage Tub
Great Deal
Looks beautiful, but haven't used it yet. Larger than what I was anticipating it would be - should be wonderful for our superbowl party.
December 15, 2011
Perfect for entertaining
Excellent beverage tub that frees up space on the kitchen island.
December 14, 2011
Love the stand and it was perfect for displaying the tub.
It wowed the crowd!
Nice quality as well.
December 14, 2011
Optima Beverage tub and floor stand
The Optima beverage tub with the floor stand is gorgeous. It is a perfect size - not too big and not too small. I have already used it at a holiday party. I put ice in it about 5:00 PM. I had 3-4 bottles of wine chilling in it all evening. Then after partying until about 11:00 PM it was still filled with ice. There was only a little melted water and there was no condensation on the sides. It is definitely a keeper.
December 13, 2011
Very nice beverage tub--looked great indoors for a cocktail party. Even the smaller one can hold 8+bottles + a bottle of wine. Also goes well with the matching ice bucket/scoop.
December 10, 2011
Love the Quality
We have been purchasing items from Frontgate for several years. We love the customer service, quality, selection and variety. We were not disappointed when we received the opener. It's a great addition to the beverage tub and ice bucket.
December 10, 2011
A terrific buy
This tub is not only attractive, it also performs as advertised. I filled it with ice and did not see one drop of condensation on the outside.
December 10, 2011
Honestly, THE best beverage tubs you will ever purchase. Ice will stay floating in them for a minimum of 12 hours! Absolutely, no sweating or leaking. I am the happy owner of 2 of the large size tubs, 1 small size tub and an ice bucket. I have also given the smaller tubs twice now for house-warming gifts. Value-wise they can't beat and believe me I have shopped around.
December 9, 2011
Great beverage tub
This tub is so elegant whether it holds wine or beer. Loved it so much had to buy the stand to go with it
December 8, 2011
Anyone who has parties needs one of these
I have had my beverage tub for several years. It has never sweated or leaked and always looks beautiful on my bar table. This year I purchased the stand for it which was very simple to assemble and looks as beautiful as the beverage tub. It will save a lot of space on the table. Thank you, Frontgate, for incredible products. I've never been disappointed.
December 7, 2011
Optima Beverage Tub
Liked it so well, I ordered another one for my daughter and son-in-law for Christmas

Classy Purchase
I absoutley love my beverage tub and stand. I ordered it at the last minutes but it arrived right on time for my party. It added a nice touch to my bar area and is a beautiful tub to hold my beverages.
December 5, 2011
Love it
My new beverage tub was a big hit. I received many compliments. It was a nice touch to my Thanksgiving dinner party.
December 2, 2011
Beverage tub and free stand
I love all of it. It is heavy and will stay in place. It is well designed; it can remain permanently in our room.
Great impression when pulling a party.
For a smaller party, if you just need to keep few bottles of wine cool, then you can put another bucket inside, in the center. All the other bottles will nicely stay along the edge, around the smaller bucket.
December 1, 2011
No Sweat!
I was skeptical of the claim of "no condensation" but based on other reviews I ordered. It's true! I used this all through the Thanksgiving weekend inisde the house and not only is it attractive, there was no wet mess!
I purchased the ice bucket as well. Great looking combo!
December 1, 2011
Spreading the word
I purchased this for my daughters anniversary gift and ended up borrowing it many times. Now I bought one for myself and have recommended it to many of my friends. No more puddles of water under cutesie beverage tubs. Buy one, you'll love it.

A Party Must-Have!
I purchased the Optima Beverage Tub for entertaining at our lake cottage where we have lots of company. We could not be more pleased with the quality, functionality, and beauty of the beverage tub!
November 16, 2011
Regrettable Design
A round beverage tub is not an aesthetically pleasing design.
November 15, 2011
Optima beverage tub
absolutely love it. I got so many compliments on this tub. The quality is superb.

beverage tub
This is an excellent tub and I recently purchased a second one for a Shower gift. I had a question and spoke to your phone rep who satisfied my question and assisted me with my billing adjustment.
November 10, 2011
Beautiful and useful product
After seeing this at our friend's house (and borrowing it!), we knew we wanted one for ourselves! Even in the most humid of summer conditions, this tub doesn't sweat and make a wet mess indoors. We got the large 21" tub which has plenty of room for ice and bottles/cans. It is also very elegant looking....much better than the plastic beach cooler we used to use! Seemed like a lot to spend for a beverage tub, but it last and look great forever!
November 10, 2011
The large Optima Beverage Tub with pedestal stand is spectacular. It's the stand that truly makes a difference. More than just making the tub more user-friendly by allowing one to extract a beverage without bending over, the eye-candy "wow" factor of this provides an elegant and stunning focal point in any room. The gleaming stand is graceful yet well-built. A substantial counterweight in the base gives it heft and stability. Leave your old plastic ice chest in the garage for your next picnic. Though nobody truly needs to have such an extravagant toy, the pleasure you'll enjoy from owning this is worth the price. "Swanky" is the best word for it.
November 9, 2011
Gorgeous purchase!
I purchased the Optima Beverage Tub this summer and used it for a graduation party. I received so many complements on it. I recently added the pedestal to complete the set. It is gorgeous. I Love It!

Optima Beverage Tub
I just love it!
It really stands out in the room and just screams 'let's party'.

Great purchase.
I am very happy I selected this for our office, I now have to buy one for my home, it looks great and is durable. I love it !

Stainless beverage tub and ice bucket
Received product quickly, in perfect condition. We saw this product at a friend's party and rushed home to find and order it online. The tub holds multiple bottles of wine and looks elegant. This will be our new"go to" for all future parties in our extended family.
October 13, 2011
Very nice
Stainless material is heavy and very high quality. I kind of wish it was foam filled so it didn't ding and dong as much, but otherwise very nice. We own 2 of them now because we liked the first one so much.
September 28, 2011
Optima Beverage Tubs
They are attractive and easy to use to class up a party.
September 14, 2011
Love it!
I have the large beverage tub and love it! Now I can bring the small tub out for more intimate gatherings. The tub really doesn't sweat and is very stylish. I bought the stand as well, which will come in handy and save me table space (fits both tub sizes).
September 14, 2011
Superior Product

HU drops two in MCC opener
The Foresters started out the MCC season with two tough losses falling 3-2 and 4-2 to Marian College on Tuesday.
In game one, the Foresters got behind in the second inning when Marian scored a run. HU tied it up in the top of the fifth, only to give up two runs in the bottom of the inning to the Knights.
HU tried to rally back from the two-run deficit by adding one run in the seventh, but it was not enough. The Foresters finished with eight hits in their 3-2 loss.
Lauren Ward pitched the full six innings giving up six hits and one walk. The Foresters out-hit Marian 8-6 but couldn't capitalize as they left six runners on base.
In their second game of the day, the Foresters had a similar start giving up one run in the second. Marian added another run in the bottom of the fourth inning and took a 2-0 lead.
HU got two runs back on a Ward home run to tie the game at 2-2 in the top of the fifth. However, the Knights added another two runs in the bottom of the sixth to take the lead for good at 4-2.
Molly Long took the tough loss for the Foresters giving up eight hits on the day while striking out five.
At the end of the day, the Foresters stood at 7-5 overall and 0-2 in the conference on the season.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Will the Democratic National Convention forever transform Charlotte?
A reporter for the local Realtor Reflections asked Tom Hanchett, staff historian for the Levine Museum of the New South, that question recently.
Probably not, says this go-to guy for reporters around the globe who are curious about this Southern town that refers to itself as a New South city.
Hanchett, a Chicago native who grew up in Upstate New York and the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, says the convention is certainly very important to Charlotte. But, he says, a citys reputation is not built on one event. Rather on many, many impressions.
Hanchett, 56, the man who knows so much about Charlotte, arrived here in 1981 with a masters degree in history from University of Chicago to work for the Historic Landmarks Commission. He studied the origins of Charlottes historic neighborhoods, left in 1987 for a doctorate in Southern history at UNC Chapel Hill, and returned in 1999 to the Levine Museum of History to help create a permanent exhibit.
Hanchett has fielded an array of questions. Reporters from The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, LEspresso, among others have visited or called for months. Theyve asked about everything from where to get the best barbecue to where to go after the speeches to the more difficult questions.
When a West Coast public radio reporter based in Washington, D.C., called to ask about Charlottes history of race relations, Hanchett pulled no punches. That history is part of who we are, he says.
I think that in the South, people have worked really hard at owning that history and working through that history, says Hanchett. Part of the story the Levine Museum tells is that everything was not OK here, and we needed the civil rights movement.
Charlotte continues to fascinate Hanchett, mostly, he says, because Charlotte continues to reinvent itself. Not everyone in the media is aware how far Charlotte has come from a rough-cut crossroads 100 years ago (population 35,000), with cotton growing along the banks of Sugar Creek to a city of almost a million, the largest in the Carolinas and the second-largest banking center (after New York City) in the country.
So it doesnt surprise Hanchett that one of the impressions hes received from the media calling, though no one used the exact word wannabe, is that were still hankering after world-class status.
Twenty years ago, he says, we were indeed talking about world-class status, because we were in a such a boom (our population doubled between 1990 and now) we hardly knew what to do with ourselves.
The citys visionaries were calling for us to dream big, to open our wallets for those very amenities art museums, an arena, a stadium, pro sports teams, a new convention center that would make us the kind of city to one day attract something as exciting, say, as the DNC.
We answered that call, re-upping, revamping, revitalizing. And it worked.
Heres how a Washington Post reporter described us in a June article headlined, In Charlotte, N.C., the New South rules:
Charlotte is all buttoned-up business (a banking center, an airline and retail hub), a multicultural melting pot and a farm-to-table haven. Its all (well, mostly) about growth, progress, diversity. The Future with a capital F.
In August, a Boston Globe reporter reminded readers that Charlotte had long been saddled with a reputation as the Wonder Bread, vanilla-flavored center of North Carolina. She went on to say that last year someone launched a Facebook page called Keep Charlotte Boring, a takeoff on the Keep Austin Weird slogan.
No longer, she said. And just as Austin has become more mainstream, Charlotte, she wrote, has livened things up.
Hanchett says: Our stated goal seems no longer to be an Atlanta or to be a world-class city, he says. We dont talk about that as much. Were comfortable with who we are.

The sys admin's daily grind: HAProxy
Balancing Stuntman
Charly's candidate today is the HAProxy load balancer, which not only distributes the load between servers, but also helps admins overcome their fears of lengthy configuration files.
Linux has no lack of free load balancers. Previously, I talked about Pen [1], which you can set up in a couple of minutes, and Pound [2], which is world famous. However, the high flyer in the balancer scene, HAProxy [3], has thus far led a fairly secluded life as an "Unknown Stuntman" [4]. The HAProxy balancer can handle any aspect of the proxy business – yet nobody has heard of it. The program's author, Willy Tarreau, has successfully demonstrated his competence as the maintainer of the 2.4 kernel, but it doesn't look as if userspace software users are interested in taking his offerings.
HAProxy uses a single thread – multithreading is for the timid. Tarreau's single-thread approach offers the decisive benefits of low overhead and high speed but requires meticulous care on the part of the developer. The single thread can go down because of a single error – a memory leak or a race condition, for example – and then the stuntman takes a tumble without a safety net.
The lack of fame could be due to HAProxy's configuration file, which is far more bulky than its competitors; however, it definitely is not from poor performance. Tarreau's profound knowledge of the Linux kernel is evident in the proxy's development history, and polling provides a great example of this. The earliest versions of polling still used select(), which tends to be fairly lethargic when faced with a larger number of open file descriptors. The function was replaced by calls to poll(), which in turn was ousted by epoll().
The brand new splice() transports data between two interfaces, and this beams HAProxy into the league of two-figure gigabyte peak performers. Tarreau also proudly points to reference applications that permanently shovel between 2 and 3GB through his balancer.
I can find no real reason to be afraid of lengthy configuration files. Although I am allowed to tweak the settings, the basic setup for balancing between two web servers is pleasingly simple, as you can see from Listing 1. Admittedly, this is a simple task for the HAProxy balancer, yet stuntmen are used to hiding their light under a bushel to make the star of the show look better.

Webinar Recording: More to VFX than just Hollywood!
Last week we were joined by Junior Lighting TD and Escape graduate Alastair Cross for a webinar that shows another side to VFX. The Hollywood side of VFX is probably why most of us want to work in the CG industry, but CG artists are putting their skills and knowledge to good use in lots of different areas. If you missed this webinar, the great news is we recorded it and the recording is now available to watch on our YouTube channel.

As far as careers go, this is an industry that keeps us on our toes, offering us a never ending number of new creative project ideas to be realised, fun new problems to be solved and new technologies to be developed. This is an industry that constantly pushes us to learn and discover more.

SIGGRAPH Round Up...
Another year another SIGGRAPH and what a packed in week it was. This year, LA didn't just give us earthquakes, heat waves and the biggest burritos known to man but also a full week of presentations from some of the biggest and newest studios plus an exhibition hall packed with the latest technology from around the world.
Here is a quick summary and a few favourites from last week. These are just some of the things to check out:
Online Academy - Free Trial!
Is your mind a whirling dervish of creativity? Do your ideas formulate out of the blue, and evolve from non-existence to intrinsically detailed visions, in a matter of minutes? Channeling these skills can be an adventure, especially if you enter an industry where the boundaries are seemingly limitless…
These Autodesk eyeball sweets are causing quite a storm at Escape Studios—not least because a trail of Chinese whispers has led some students to believe we're giving away 'free Autodesk suites' ... awkward!
Also awkward: the look visitors give as you sit casually munching eyeballs, whilst taking a phone call.
IKinema LiveAction
SIGGRAPH is going to be bursting at the seams with new releases, with UK based IKinema set to unveil IKinema LiveAction at the LA conference next week.
Introducing the BOXX renderPRO
BOXX Technologies present the BOXX renderPRO, the first personal, dedicated, rendering solution for animation, VFX, engineering and architectural visualisation. The renderPRO is designed for desk-side rendering with easy configuring and a compact design for professional performance in minimal space.
Mark Spevick VS. Indiana Jones... Bridge
Don't you all just love it when our resident VFX tutor Mark Spevick shares his knowledge with us? And don't you just love watching, with bated breath, Indiana Jones conquering new feats as he crosses a rope bridge that appears to be on it's last tethers above a dangerous gorge? And of course we know you'll just love to know that we've put the two together.
Full of E.Motion
On Tuesday, a lucky few of us got to go on a trip that ventured outside of the confines of the Shepherds West building. Drinking more coffee than one body ever needs, we went to do some film and games grade motion capture at the impressive facility at E.Motion.
mocha Pro Mini-Series... Part Two
Last week we posted part one of our mocha Pro miniseries and as promised here is part two of four.
Launched: Softimage Creatives Are Go!
The Softimage Creatives launch event went ahead on May 29th as planned, and it was nothing short of amazing. There was an incredible turn out of XSI enthusiasts, which confirms to us all that the community of users is still very much alive. Over 150 people squeezed into Jerusalem Bar on Rathbone Place to celebrate the launch of the London Softimage user group, and among those were visitors who travelled from Ireland and the continent. It's this dedication to the cause that will undoubtedly help make the independent Softimage user group a real success, and I'm sure it has proved to the SiC founders that their efforts have not been in vain.
GTC 2012 NUKE spotlight
The GPU Technology Conference (GTC) took place in San Jose California from May 14th to May 17th. The conference is the brainchild of GPU giant NVidia and looks to celebrate global awareness of GPU computing and visualisation as well as the importance of the future of science and innovation.

Joss Whedon Killed The WB
January 31st, 2006 | people I know, researchmaterial
The show, produced by 20th Century Fox Television, was a runaway hit with teenage girls. But in early 2001, the WB balked when Fox executives demanded $44 million to license a single season. That fall, the show shifted to UPN, and with it went the WB's identity as the go-to destination for young viewers.
Now, as CBS Corp. and Time Warner Inc. develop the CW, their new jointly owned network, what killed the WB and UPN is a hot topic in the offices of TV executives all over town. In the end, many agree, the WB's loss of "Buffy" — which breathed new life into the struggling UPN — set in motion a pitched battle for the coveted youth market that would eventually doom both networks…

Shots - Health News Will Obamacare Mean Fewer Jobs? Depends On Whom You Ask July 30, 2013 Are employers already cutting hours and jobs to avoid pending requirements of the Affordable Care Act?

The Two-Way Investors Brace For News Out Of Fed Minutes July 10, 2013 The minutes of the Federal Reserve's June meeting will be released a 2 p.m. That's the meeting chairman Bernanke said the Fed could begin to think about reducing the amount of money it pumps into the economy. Listen Loading… 4:03 Download Playlist
The Two-Way Jobs Report Due Out This Morning July 5, 2013 When the Labor Department releases June's employment report Friday morning, economists also expect to hear that 165,000 jobs were added to payrolls last month.
The Two-Way Revised GDP Numbers Weaker Than Projected June 26, 2013 Gross domestic product expanded at a rate of 1.8 percent in the first quarter, down from the 2.4 percent pace previously reported.
The Two-Way Weekly Jobless Claims Rise Slightly June 20, 2013 The level, however, remains consistent with moderate job growth.
The Two-Way Positive Signs: Jobless Claims Drop, Retail Sales Rise June 13, 2013 There were fewer people applying for unemployment insurance last week. And in May, consumers spent more — particularly on cars.
The Two-Way New Data Confirm The Economy Isn't Growing As Fast As Hoped May 30, 2013 Gross domestic product expanded at a 2.4 percent annual rate in the first quarter, the government reports. At one point, economists thought growth was closer to 3 percent in the first three months of the year.
The Two-Way Jobless Claims Drop, But Stay In Recent Range May 23, 2013 There was more of a decline than economists expected, but the weekly pace hasn't really changed much since late 2011.
The Two-Way Weekly Jobless Claims Stay Near 5-Year Low May 9, 2013 The news could be another sign that the economy's picked up enough strength to convince employers that it's OK to hold on to workers.
The Two-Way Applications For Unemployment Benefits Tick Up; Monthly Average At 5-Year Low March 21, 2013 Economists said this means progress in the job market, mostly through a reduction in layoffs.
The Two-Way Mixed Signals: Jobless Claims Dip; Layoff Plans Rise March 7, 2013 As many eyes turn to Friday's employment report, new data offer a somewhat conflicting picture.
The Two-Way What Nations Were The Most Forward-Looking In 2012? February 7, 2013 Germany was the world's most future-oriented country in 2012, followed by Switzerland and Japan, according to the "Future Orientation Index," which is based on Google searches. Scientists say the index is "strongly correlated" to economic health.
The Two-Way Consumer Confidence Drops; All Of 2012's Gains Gone January 29, 2013 Though there have been other signs to indicate that the economy is on the upswing, many Americans aren't feeling all that good about how things are going.The private Conference Board reports that its widely watched consumer confidence index fell to 58.6 in January from 66.7 in December.
The Two-Way Federal Reserve Boosts Effort To Lift Economy December 12, 2012 The central bank's policymakers also said they expect their policies aimed at stimulating growth will remain in effect until the jobless rate drops to 6.5 percent, from the current 7.7 percent.
It's All Politics Why The Economy Won't Help Obama — Or Romney October 26, 2012 The economy is growing and consumer confidence is rising. But the data are too mixed to point to a robust economy. And it may be too late anyway to change voters' impressions.

"We began rehearsals January 10. By January 11, everyone started asking me, 'So, are you going to be at Easter Bonnet?'… like I'm supposed to know what the f--- that is!" He also said he was suffering from a cold and added, "You know what people on Broadway do when they have a cold?" (pause) "Eight shows a week!"
As I mentioned, I got to see the opening night of Pippin! Andrea Martin gave tickets to James and me, and it was thrilling to be there. First of all, I was so blown away that I was sitting in the audience watching Andrea Martin, someone who was one of my all-time comedy idols when I was a kid – who I'm now friends with (!) – stop the show! And when I say "stop the show," I actually mean it. Her song got a full-house standing ovation! In the middle of Act One! How rare is that? I wasn't the only one who was amazed; on the way to the opening night party, we ran into the lovely Jane Krakowski who also couldn't believe how amazing Andrea's number was, and how shocking it was to get a "standing O" before the bows.
Afterwards, Jane and I were chatting by the Minskoff Theatre, and I mentioned that I had auditions at the Minskoff rehearsal studios when I was a kid. Jane said she did, too. Soon, we began to realize what similar childhoods we both had, growing up in the '70s as theatre kids. The only difference was when Jane would audition for a show in New York, she'd actually get it. I, instead, would have to endure the depressing ride home with my Dad, stopping only for Blimpie's.

Jane, who was cast at age 12, was called a "Milli-kiddie." She said she had a low, raspy voice that people thought was hilarious, so she always got to do a lot of dialogue. She also tapped up a storm with stars like Donald O'Connor. She said the show began at 8 AM, which was horrifyingly early for the cast because most of them were doing Broadway shows at night. One year, the big star was Ginger Rogers, and she'd start her warm-up at 6 AM! I haven't been up that early since I had Drivers Ed before first period.
Jane and I had various experiences/friends in common from back then, but one thing we didn't share was doing Beginnings (later changed to Youngstars). That was an all-kids club act I did for two years. Sarah Jessica Parker, Alison Smith, Ricki Lake and various other kids from Peter Pan and Evita were all in it. Here's an Obsessed video I did with another alum, Kerry Butler!
On Wednesday, I got to interview Robert Klein for "Seth Speaks," and I loved hearing about his first Broadway show, The Apple Tree, starring Alan Alda and Barbara Harris. He had a tremendous crush on Barbara and remembers taking her out to the park where she told him, "Warren Beatty won't leave me alone." I used to hear the same comments when I was dating, but instead of my prospective boyfriend starting the sentence with "Warren Beatty," he would start it with "Please" and then segue right to "leave me alone." As for They're Playing Our Song, he told me that the role of Vernon was first offered to "The pianist's son." The audience stared blankly, but I realized he meant John Rubenstein (son of Arthur and the original Pippin!).
