Winter Activity Holidays: Styles and Grades
Independent holidays
Exodus are leaders in small group activity holidays, but we understand that many people prefer to travel with their partners, families or own group of friends. Our series of independent holidays offer the research, organisation and backup that Exodus is known for, but without the obligation to travel in a group. We will arrange flights, transfers and accommodation for you. Once at the base, you can pick and choose your activities each day, according to your own preference. See the following trips:
Cross-country Skiing: Dobbiaco - Trip code: CXD
Cross-country Skiing: Kvitavatn - Trip code: CXK
Cross-country Skiing: Trins Austria - Trip code: CXT
Independent Winter Holidays with our sister company: Headwater
Based in some of the best cross-country skiing resorts in Switzerland, Italy, Finland and Norway, we stay in comfortable 3 or 4 star hotels with ski lessons and equipment hire included. Ski lessons are arranged by a local ski school and may be mixed with non-Exodus/Headwater clients. Each centre also has a variety of optional activities available such as downhill skiing, snowshoeing, winter walking, tobogganing, ski touring and even dogsledding.
With Headwater's unrivalled experience in organising self-guided holidays, you can rest assured that all the relevant maps and support will be provided. An information pack is sent out before departure, which includes details about the food of the area, ideas for extra activities and some handy ski exercises.

Group holidays
Most of the holidays in this brochure are group holidays. Group sizes vary from 4 to 16, but generally comprise of around 10 participants. Travelling with like-minded people adds plenty of fun and laughs to your winter holiday, particularly if you are trying a new activity.
Perfect for solo travellers
It may surprise you to know that almost half of our clients are solo travellers, choosing to travel on their own rather than with a partner or friends. Of course, when you travel with Exodus, travelling solo doesn't mean travelling alone.
All of our winter activity trips are ideal for solo travellers. From the moment you arrive at your destination, you'll be with a group of likeminded people who share your passion for active travel. There will be others who have booked individually, and the couples and friends who travel with Exodus generally do so in order to socialise within a group and to enhance their holiday experience.
Dinners are taken as a group, and even on 'free days' your Tour Leader will recommend a restaurant and the majority of the group choose to eat together. It's a great way of meeting new people.
Solo departures
For those clients who wish to travel with a group of other solo travellers, on certain trips we have set aside departure dates that are specifically recommended for clients booking individually. Solo departures are aimed at taking away that concern that you may be the only solo traveller when you arrive overseas. Look out for the SOLO Departures logo on the holiday pages and against the respective departures on the dates and prices page of the trips. Or see our Solo departures page for the full list.
Private groups
We have a dedicated groups department which can arrange private departures on most of our brochured tours. We generally work with a minimum group size of 4-6 and maximum numbers usually apply (usually due to legal guiding ratios), as stated in our brochure. Where possible we will accommodate larger numbers, but it is important to us as supporters of sustainable tourism that we do not compromise the good of the environment or your enjoyment by taking too many people to sensitive destinations. For further details, please contact our Group Sales Department on
0845 330 6009 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com

Our simple grading system
Many of our holidays are aimed at beginners and are designed for people of just average fitness. All necessary instruction and equipment is included. Snowshoeing, dogsledding and snowmobiling are easy to pick up and require no previous experience. Cross-country skiing will involve more intensive instruction, and our groups are carefully graded to ensure participants have similar levels of experience.
It is important to choose a holiday appropriate to your fitness and experience levels. Of course some are tougher than others and the activity profile section gives more detail about what to expect. All of our holidays use one or other of the grading systems below.
Snowshoe and activity grades
Grade A - Easy activities requiring a little physical effort for a short amount of time. Previous experience is not necessary at this level, anyone who is reasonably fit and healthy enough to complete a weekend walk will manage.
Grade B - Relatively full days, with 4-5 hours of walking, although occasional longer or harder days may be involved. Previous experience is not necessary, but you should be confident of your fitness level.
Grade B/C -Generally 4-6 hours a day, with longer ascents and a faster pace in order to complete circular walks. There may be more challenging sections throughout the week and/or more basic accommodation in the evening. Previous experience not necessary but good fitness level required.
Grade C - Full days in the outdoors, with walks or activities lasting 4-6 hours a day. Fitness becomes more important at this level and some previous experience is desirable. Walks at this grade compares to extended walking in mountainous terrain, climate and remoteness can also play a part.
Grade D - Be prepared for long, steep ascents and descents, and for off-track skiing over variable snow. You need good fitness, stamina and sound and controlled technique. Climbing skins will be needed on some days.
Please note: On our website we currently use the above grading on the Winter Walking and Snowshoe holidays. However, in the Winter Adventures 2013/14 brochure there is a new 'icon' which shows a 'dial and rating number', along with the above wording (see image on the right)
The grades are still the same and the icon will be updated in due course on our website once all the programmes take up the new format. We apologise for any inconvenience or confusion this may cause.
Cross-country ski grades
It is essential to choose the right grade of trip for your level of cross-country skiing experience or ability. Please read our grading system carefully, and see the notes for each trip on the dates and prices page.
Grade 1 Beginners.
Recommended for beginners, or those who feel the need to improve basic techniques. We teach you the essentials and explore gently undulating terrain. All or most skiing is on prepared tracks (loipe). More experienced skiers are welcome, but the pace will be set for the beginners. Towards the end of the holiday you might ski 10-15km or more a day, at a gentle pace. Throughout the week you will be taught how to snowplough and different techniques to have you gliding along the tracks in no time.
Grade 2 Intermediates and confident beginners.
A mix of flat and hillier terrain. Grade 2 weeks are for people who have enjoyed a Grade 1 holiday, grasped the snowplough and now want to improve technique. We ski a little more quickly and over more challenging ground than on a grade 1 trip.
Acceptable for newcomers to cross-country skiing, but you should be very fit and have experience of ther sports that develop balance - ice-skating, roller-skating or downhill skiing. Most of the skiing will be on tracks but there may be some off-track skiing.
Grade 2+Intermediates (unsuitable for beginners).
On these holidays we will be skiing on some steeper terrain. Suitable for clients who have done a couple of weeks with us, have developed their snowplough and can cope fairly confidently with undulating tracks. Also suitable for those wishing to progress onto a skating week.
Grade 3 Advanced.
Choose this level if you can tackle 'ups and downs' competently, manage a controlled snowplough descent, and if you want to ski at a lively pace. You should also be able to get up swiftly and easily by yourself after a fall. The mix of track and off-track skiing varies.
Grade 4 Strenuous.
Be prepared for long, steep ascents and descents, and for off-track skiing over variable snow. You need good fitness, stamina and sound and controlled technique. Climbing skins will be needed on some days.
Cross-country Skating levels
Level 1 Beginners.
Recommended for those who have tried classic cross-country skiing, mastered the basics (including the snowplough) and now wish to try the skating style. Generally a faster skiing motion than classic cross-country skiing, you will need to be of reasonable fitness and have confidence on the snow. Whilst not skiing in tracks you will be on prepared, gradually undulating slopes and cover approximately 10-15km a day. This is not suitable for those who have not tried classic cross-country skiing.
Level 2 Intermediates.
Covering more challenging terrain, this level is for those who have already mastered the basics of the skating style and wish to improve their skating technique. Terrain covered will be slightly more challenging and you should expect to cover 15-20km per day. You will be taught techniques to help you increase your speed, perfect for those wishing to take on the challenge of a ski race.
Multi Grade: At certain centres we have two leaders running two grades at the same time, allowing skiers to move between grades during the week. Multigrade weeks are a great option if you are slightly unsure of your level, or like to ski at different intensities on different days, or if you are a couple who ski at different levels. These trips are highlighted with the 'Multigrade' logo
NB: The cross-country grades are listed against the departure dates on the holiday dates and prices pages so you can check which is the best week to travel with the correct grade for your ability.
Different Cross-country Styles
The majority of our holidays follow classic technique. Skiing will be in prepared tracks that are also known as loipes.
The movement is similar to walking with a gliding action involving a more pronounced motion back and forwards of the arms. Wax or grip under the ski holds it to the snow when a skier's weight is on it, helping to tackle steeper gradients with ease and glide along flatter terrain. One of the easier ski styles to learn, the toughest element is the challenge of more undulating slopes. Once the snowplough technique is grasped these can be mastered with ease.
The movement for skating technique is more side-to-side and is similar to ice-skating or rollerblading. Skating skis are lightweight and shorter than classic skis, with increased ankle support provided in the boots. To join a skating holiday it is essential that you have mastered the basics of classic cross-country skiing first, including the snowplough. More physically demanding than classic style, once mastered most skiers find they can pick up speed and travel greater distances
at a faster pace than those on classic skis.
Off-track skiing offers adventure and exploration, taking you quite literally out of the tracks to make your own trails. Different skis are used to cope with the deeper snow and steeper slopes and you should expect to venture to more remote areas, often crossing frozen lakes and tackling steeper terrain. A style of skiing more commonly found in Norway, you are not restricted to following tracks and set routes. Deeper snow can provide a more controlled ski pace and softer landing should you fall!
Once you have picked your activity and your preferred grade, you should also consider a few other important issues.
Do I want to stay in a lively but traditional village or on a remote mountainside?
It's worth thinking about what you like to do in the evenings. Most of our holidays in Scandinavia are in wilderness locations, where evening entertainment is homegrown. The best locations for access to some low-key nightlife are: Seefeld in Austria, Villabassa in the Dolomites, and Slovenia.
What else is there to do, other than my chosen activity?
Even on the single activity weeks we offer a number of other options for the evenings or free day, for example: hot-tubs, dogsledding trips, downhill options and torchlight sledging. Refer to the 'Optional Activities' section on the trip page Essential Info. tab for a list of what's possible in the area. Otherwise try one of our multi activity holidays where the variety comes included.
How about downhill skiing?
Although you probably don't want to spend an entire week downhill skiing, it can be an excellent
way to spend a free day. Many of our holidays are ideally located within easy access of excellent
resorts. Where this is the case we have given details in the 'Optional Activities' section on the trip page Essential Info. tab, more detailed information is provided in the Trip Notes.
I like cross-country skiing, but my partner or friend doesn't
If you and your travelling companion are into different activities but would still like to enjoy your holiday together, we have the perfect solution. Our Winter Walking trips in Trins and Dobbiaco are scheduled to coincide with cross-country skiing departures in the same destination. While one of you glides gracefully off with the group on the ski trails, the other can lace up their walking boots to join the winter walking group. Each evening you will meet up again to enjoy the comforts of your hotel. Please confirm room arrangements with a member of our sales team at the time of booking.

rubber stamps
So now we're going to do embossing and it requires a heat gun which is you know, women love tools. Don't kid yourselves, it's not just those guys. And then this is a clear embossing powder. Which I am going to liberally sprinkle on my stamped image. And then I just gather it together like that and pour it into my container and it puts like a little film of this powder on it. I recommend always shutting your embossing powder, so quickly you can knock it over. Anyways, so there that is, I'm going to turn on my heat gun which is very loud, and what I'm going to do is be melting the powder. This is very hot, this is not for kids, or weird adults who think it's a hairdryer or you will have fried hair and a blistered scalp. So you turn this sucker on, and there we have an embossed Thanks. Embossing is so much fun, here you can see here is color, here is black and white. You could go in with water colors or colored pencils and do other techniques. I forgot to clean my stamp off so I'm going to do that now you don't think I'm completely worthless. These are baby wipes, and this is sort of an easy way of cleaning a stamp. A sponge in a plate of water works also. And basically all you're doing is you're stamping off all the color. You'll never get your rubber back to that beautiful little red thing again, but there you see it, I'm taking it off. I'll wipe it like this, speaking of this wiping, on a brand new stamp, if you want to abrade your surface just a little bit just even on brown paper, by just going like this, that will just rough up that rubber just a teeny bit so it takes the ink better. My stamps always look pathetically dirty, I think it's a mark of creativity.
So we can talk about actually making your impression with multiple images. Some stamps, like this wonderful little leaf, it doesn't really make any difference if you mask with it because you just do multiple images right on top of each other like this. There's one, and you can just do another one right on top and the image is beautiful without masking. And you can change the color, so I can just add another color, notice I didn't wash it in between because then I'll have a little tinge of the green in at the same time. So, you can just do that, which is just multiple overlapping stamps, or, you can actually mask. So I'm going to do a little composition to show you what that means. I'm going to do this little label stamp. I'm just going to do this on white paper, you're obviously going to be doing it on your project, or your card or whatever it is you're making. So I'm inking it up with orange, just a Cat's Eye because it's handy. And this is small enough that I can almost get enough pressure without standing up so I'm just going to make a simple impression just like that. And now I'm going to use post it stamps and I'm going to, I don't even have to re-ink it, I'm just going to do that image again, and now I'm going to get a scissors and I'm going to cut that out, and this is my mask. I should have done it closer to the post it note border because that really is wonderful to help it stick down. And I'm cutting in a bit on the image, if you cut on the outside of the image you're going to get a little color halo around it so I'm trying to keep the halo pretty much to a minimum. That's pretty good. Then I'm going to use how about this cute little leaf image and I'll use this green again that I used on the other leaves, get this sucker back in place and I'm going to just, this is a very simple mask because the wonderful little image is very tiny. And it's very easy to do. Sometimes it'll take you a half an hour just to cut your mask out for God's sake save it, just put it in a little glassine envelope or anyplace like that. And now I want to introduce a little color so I'm going to use my Cat's Eye to just tip the edges of this it'll make it a little more interesting. And notice I am not using a mask over my leaves because they are quite charming on their own. Then again I'm going to put a little color on that, now I'm going to put one over here, and you just go on and on building and building until you finish. So I'm going to call that done, and there is it is, isn't that cute? It really looks as if I did the back ones first when in fact, the front layer is always the first one that you ink. I'll show you another fun thing. Let's pretend this is some kind of holly sort of plant, one of my favoritest tools is an eraser on a pencil so I'm just going to put some berries in there, and then because I want to continue this illusion of behind, I'm going to do a few of them just halfway. Cute, huh? And then you could just write your name on that if it's going to be a placecard or you could cut the whole thing out as a label for herbs or spices. Masking is a great thing.
Then last, but certainly not least is stamping on things. Walls, foreheads, lampshades. So this is a cute little lampshade that somebody up in design actually made. And I asked her if I could borrow it, she used it for one of our photo shoots, and she didn't finish it, so I said 'Oh I can try to finish it', I could also ruin it, but that's okay. Now this one happens to be covered with linen. Linen is a harder surface to stamp on than paper, but it's pretty forgiving also. You can see in the back there are some empty spaces so I'm going to stamp right here and this is a little trickier because you want to roll the stamp ever so slightly. Because it's a curved surface, so I'm just going to tilt it a teeny tiny bit and I've got my hand behind it to give it some energy and you see it still it too light. So the trick then is to put light ones all over the place so that's my technique for covering up mistakes. Oh, there's another one, use our stickers, cover it completely up, but that's a different point, you can't do that on lampshades. But, so now I've got, you can see this one is way too light, so I'm going to be down here and I'm going to push down much harder, I wonder if my stamp pad is dry. That's another problem, you always have to make sure that your stamp pad is juicy, now see much better. Now you just go all the way around making your images, and you can cover just about anything. Pretty cool!

Symposium, Speaker Series, and Festschrift
Posted By Kevin R. Johnson, Sep 27, 2013
It's a busy Friday! I am taking part in several events today. Fenwick and West Symposium: I stopped by this exciting conference in King Hall's Kalmanovitz Appellate Courtroom. Sponsored by leading law firm Fenwick & West, SCBA Luncheon Speaker Series : Today the Civil Litigation Section of the Sacramento County Bar Association presented a panel discussion titled, "Effective Strategies for Resolving Complicated Cases Through Negotiation." I was the moderator. Our own negotiations expert Professor Donna Shestowsky was among the speakers. Our alum Steve Boutin '72 recently helped to found the Civil Litigation Section and introduced me. Alum Daniel Stouder '03 was among the organizers of the event. Festschrift for Professor Angela Harris: King Hall Professor Angela Harris is being honored by her former colleagues at Berkeley Law with a symposium on her work. The Festschrift Symposium in Honor of Angela Harris is a daylong conference with legal scholars from around the country, including our Professor Madhavi Sunder. I'm attending the dinner portion of the event, and I look forward to making remarks to recognize Professor Harris's incredible work!
"On the Frontier of the Future: Innovation and the Evolution of Patentable Subject Matter" brings together practitioners, academics, and students in law, management, bioscience, high technology, and other related fields to discuss the expansion of the definition of patentable subject. The lunchtime keynote speaker was Hon. Randall Rader of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Many thanks to Fenwick & West for its partnership!

Teaching President Lincoln with Primary Sources Resource Booklet
Primary Source Set
Abraham Lincoln is one of the most recognizable names and faces in the world. Those of us who are fortunate enough to live in Illinois, the land of Lincoln, sometimes take for granted the impact President Lincoln had on our country. His rise from meager beginnings to leader of the United States is well documented in many biographies, documentaries and lectures.
As adults we look for attributes of Abraham Lincoln within ourselves, either professionally or personally. He was a living, breathing contradiction. He often quoted and read the bible and included references to his spirituality in speeches and written documents, yet he strongly rejected the concept of organized religion. Although he never received a formal education or studied abroad like many of his presidential predecessors Lincoln's intelligence and leadership are held in the highest esteem to this day.
What and how do we teach our students about President Lincoln? We sometimes assume that everyone is familiar with Lincoln's story because his name is everywhere – from schools to streets to shopping malls. However, it is important that we expose students to more than just the major events of Lincoln's life: humble beginnings, Gettysburg Address, Emancipation Proclamation and his assassination. The details of Lincoln's personal life are fascinating. Abraham lost his mother at a young age and became part of a blended family when his father Thomas married Sarah Bush Johnston who brought her own children into the household. This is a situation that many children today can relate to on a personal level. Abraham Lincoln the husband and father faced indescribable pain and loss in his personal life, while leading the United States through turmoil.
Educators can "bring Lincoln to life" by incorporating primary sources available on the Library of Congress website. At the end of the booklet and by following the link below you will find pages highlighting exhibits and features of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum incorporating Library of Congress resources.

Thousands of police have been put on guard in the centre of Athens for German chancellor Angela Merkel's first visit since the eurozone crisis began three years ago.
More than 7,000 officers have cordoned off huge areas to keep demonstrators away as Mrs Merkel holds talks with prime minister Antonis Samaras.
Her five-hour stop is seen by the government as a historic boost for the country's future in the euro, but by protesters as a harbinger of more austerity and hardship.
Many of Europe's leading politicians have avoided official travel to Greece and the risk of a hostile reception, as the debt-saddled country struggled to keep up with commitments needed to guarantee rescue loan payments and long-term euro membership.
But Mrs Merkel, heading Europe's largest bailout contributor, accepted Mr Samaras' invitation to Athens despite failure by his government so far to conclude a massive new austerity package.
After months of tough rhetoric, the chancellor may be preparing her own voters for a more tolerant approach toward Greece ahead of federal elections next year, according to Jason Manolopoulos, author of the 2011 book on Europe's financial crisis, "Greece's Odious Debt."
"Given how some other members of the (eurozone) core - Austria, Holland, Finland - had made some very harsh comments ... I think it does send a message to Greece," he said.
"But I think it's also important, if not more important, for German domestic consumption."
Mrs Merkel will meet Mr Samaras and president Karolos Papoulias, the largely ceremonial head of state, in adjacent buildings before flying back out of the country.
Draconian security measures include a ban on public gatherings outside the German Embassy and other parts of central Athens as well as within 100 yards of her motorcade route from the airport. Mr Samaras' own partners in his coalition government described the police measures as excessive. And Greece's main labour union, the GSEE, called them a "display of force ... aimed at cancelling our democratic rights" insisting it would go ahead with plans to stage a rally near parliament.

5. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Nintendo | Nintendo | 2003
"A young boy clothed in green appeared as if from nowhere." While everyone expected an epic Link adventure on GameCube, many were surprised by this entry's bold departures from the past
What made it so great?
Anyone who complains that the Zelda games don't take enough chances must have missed this one. The Wind Waker risked everything by transforming everything - the series' familiar look, its beloved world, even its iconic hero.
You know what, though? It all paid off. The clean and colorful Disney style ensures that the game will never date; like a classic animated film, it will appear vibrant and beautiful forever. Likewise, switching the setting from endless green forest to endless blue ocean, and your transport from horse to boat, proved that the Zelda formula is immortal. Its magic works no matter where or how you apply it.
Finally, and most controversially, Link is recast as a bite-sized tyke. But the brave spirit of the character is intact, and his wide-eyed childlike expressions actually make him more sympathetic than ever before. If you can get through the scene where he says goodbye to his grandmother without getting a little emotional, then you're made of tougher stuff than us.

There are tons of ways to find friends.
Playing one of the 11 MMO (Last stand dead zone recommended). In an mmo you can make a clan, talk to people and just generally have fun. If these people are on AG you can just add them and comment on their profiles.
Exitpath, Colony, The last castle and shell shock live are also great multiplayer games where you can interact with players and talk to them.
And if you really want to go over the top. You can make a thread in the newcomers section describing yourself and generally being nice.
There's a lot of ways to get friends on AG, but you just have to look a little harder. Comment on some peoples profiles. Tell them you're new and you're wondering about the site. Trust me, active people (usually) are willing to help out new people and have a conversation.
Oh yeah, and you can go to the popular media section and find people with similar music taste or the flash games section and talk about some games.
Pointless thread by a new user again
Actually you're post was probably more useless than his thread. He was just asking how to meet people and he might not know how to make friends as easily you do. You'd be surprised.
Oh and yes that big add friend button works too.

TOEFL Writing Tips: Adjective Clauses 101
The adjective clause is an important aspect of grammar to keep in mind on the TOEFL writing portion. Unlike the adverbial clause, which is mostly used on the integrated essay for compare/contrast, the adjective clause can be found in both the integrated and independent writing sections. What do adjective clauses do and when is it important to use them? (Please note: Adjective clauses can also be referred to as adjectival or relative clauses.)
An adjective clause will contain the following:
· a subject and a verb
· a relative pronoun: who, whom, whose, that or which OR
· a relative adverb: when, where or why
· also, the adjective clause will ultimately function as an adjective
Adjective clauses are divided into two main categories: identifying and nonidentifying.
Identifying Adjective Clauses give information that is essential to the overall meaning of the sentence.
For example: Men who are willing to work will undoubtedly find a job.
In this sentence, the adjective clause is who are willing to work. In other words, if we extracted who are willing to work from the sentence it would alter its meaning entirely, making it identifying.
Nonidentifying Adjective Clauses give nonessential information – they serve the purpose of adding extra bits of information that aren't crucial to the overall meaning of the sentence.
For example: The movie lasted about three and a half hours, which at times felt somewhat longer, so I made sure to have plenty of soda and popcorn.
The adjective clause which at times felt somewhat longer isn't exactly necessary in terms of the overall meaning of the sentence. The main ideas expressed in the sentence are in the beginning and the end, making the middle somewhat additional and nonidentifying. (Also, with nonidentifying adjective clauses "that" is not used.)
Overall, adjective clauses will pepper your writing and allow your ideas to come across smoother and clearer. Just make sure when you use them to acknowledge whether you are using identifying or nonidentfying so you have mastery of your own TOEFL writing.

The Illinois Senate overrode Gov. Pat Quinn's request to delay implementation of a new law that sets provisions for gubernatorial appointments.
The Senate overrode the veto without opposition Friday. The House must override it for it to become law.
The law says the Senate must review temporary appointees and people serving after their terms end or they will lose their jobs.
Previously temporary appointees could serve indefinitely.
Quinn used his amendatory veto power to return the bill to the General Assembly with a request that the measure take effect in July for salaried appointments and October for everyone else.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"Very cool, very simple & laid back. Thick paper that did well in the mail, plus I saved on envelopes. Lets be honest, most people don't save your Save the Date's... save money where you can! I also got the matching magnets for close family and friends that I knew would appreciate it :)"
"I ordered my cards to come in red with the pearl white shimmer and rounded corners, and they were very beautiful! The quality of the paper was better than expected. I am very pleased with my order. :)"
"These are very pretty cards. I ordered them in the purple shade as our wedding colors were along that color palette. The quality is phenomenal. I expected a little more vava-voom as did many others in my wedding party but they did the job of announcing our wedding date successfully."
"This save he date postcard was perfect for our destination wedding. The paper quality is excellent; which was a relief since they are not protected by an envelope. The proof was provided within 1 or 2 days and we received within 5 days of confirming the proof. There are not any other matching products, but this was not important to us."
"I am so impressed by how quickly our Save the Date cards were sent to us after we ordered them - it took less than a week to print and ship to Australia! I'm not a big fan of the paper used for these Save the Dates but my fiance loves it :) I highly recommend Wedding Paper Divas and will deffinately purchase from them in the future."

Bill Morelock
Host, Classical Music
Minnesota Public Radio
Bill Morelock fell into radio as a refugee from graduate school. This was in Pullman, Washington, where Murrow learned how to speak like Murrow. A permanent inferiority complex developed. In 1988, he conspired with Bob Christiansen to create the daily classical music show, Bob & Bill. It was distributed nationally by NPR from 1991-1996. In Minnesota, Morelock has worked at WCAL in Northfield, and at Minnesota Public Radio in St. Paul. He writes an occasional piece of prose, occasionally funny, but not often enough to really annoy anyone.

Powdered Wigs, Quaint No More - An Essay by Bill Morelock
We're used to thinking of the 20th century as the high point of technological and cultural change. The case is easy to make: A generation which knew the horse and buggy watched Neil Armstrong's moon walk. There was Einstein, two world wars, a smallpox vaccine, Elvis Presley and laptop computers. Make your own list.
1964: A Child's Christmas on the Willamette
Your house is about to flood, and you can take three things. What do you take? Young Bill Morelock took his new vinyl copy of "A Hard Days Night," his baseball glove and trophy for a hole-in-one on a par-3 course. Learn more about his story.
A Hollywood Holiday
Join Bill Morelock and Lynne Warfel for an hour of holiday movie music that ranges from the sentimental to the completely cranky. From "White Christmas" and cozy homes for the holidays to Grinches and Scrooges, <i>A Hollywood Holiday</i> takes in your favorite holiday movies from a musical point of view.
Taste, an Accounting in Three Scenes
Bill Morelock digs into the tricky question of taste, approaching it through three different scenes.
Gallic Ghost Story
The popular notion is that any self-respecting ghost story must pack a nightmarish punch. But Bill Morelock tells a tale of two amusing and inspiring spectres.
Notes for a Radio Show About the End of the World - An Essay by Bill Morelock
In 1965, Walker Percy published an essay called "Notes for a Novel about the End of the World." I wondered if we might not sketch out something similar for a radio show. Again, purely theoretical, but if the notes turn out to be a practical blueprint for an actual broadcast artifact, so be it.
Sisyphean Labors - An Essay by Bill Morelock
What's wrong with Sisyphus, anyway? Whenever we refer to someone working endlessly to no apparent purpose -- in an office cube, a fast food restaurant, writing a blog -- we invoke Sisyphus. I don't get it. Futility was only one facet of his professional life.
The Epic Battle Between Anxiety and The Well-Turned Tale - An Essay by Bill Morelock
In this curious negotiation between us and you about the hows and whens and whys of listening -- digital platforms turning what once was the simple arithmetic of radio into a calculus requiring armies of very smart people to solve -- we don't know what's going to happen next.
How I Landscaped Upon the Stage - An Essay by Bill Morelock
I'm not a performer by nature. Given a Briggs-Myers choice between getting up and doing a song and dance in front of a crowd and undergoing a colonoscopy...
Trusting the Grump - An Essay by Bill Morelock
Paul Fussell was the author of "The Great War and Modern Memory" (1975). It was a compelling, and surprisingly popular study of literary perspectives on the disasters of World War One. Among his trenchant theses, that the war introduced irony as a pervasive mode of thinking which affected the entire culture.
Elegy: May 18th, 1980 - An Essay by Bill Morelock
I lived in Pullman, Washington when Mt. St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980. Though 250 miles away, Pullman was in the path of the twelve-hour ash fall that turned day to night on that Sunday 32 years ago. Because it coincided with another significant but small spreading of ashes on that same day, I've tended to recast the event in largely symbolic terms -- in a sense turning the mountain upside down.
George: An Appreciation - An Essay by Bill Morelock
Last week I filled in for Fred Child on Performance Today for a few days. One day the show featured George Gershwin's Concerto in F, played by a Quebecois pianist named Alain Lefevre.
High on Symbolism: Composers' Mania for Pelleas and Melisande
Literary movements are, in certain ways, like theoretical physics. They both operate mostly under the radar, undergoing subtle changes, describing rarified events too arcane for the likes of you and me to grasp or care about. But then, every once in awhile, a charismatic personality with a catchy equation (E=mc^2), or a thermonuclear device, demands our attention.
Sims Serenade - A [Non-] Essay by Bill Morelock
Non-fiction can be as imaginative as fiction, given a strong imagination. But when those sinews fail, when the muscles refuse to twitch on cue, and exuberance parts company with clarity once and for all, what does one do? In baseball, the aging power pitcher re-tools and defends himself with off-speed stuff. Indirect, but effective.
A Baseball Hymn - An Essay by Bill Morelock
Possibly you've heard all you need to hear about the aesthetics of baseball. And here I am adding innings.

Contemporary / Modern 2 Light Bathroom Fixture Contructed of Recycled Material from the Fascination HO Collection
Breathtaking…that's what came to mind when we saw the ruins of an old Nevada mine at sunset. The walls had been constructed of wine bottles and mud.

DescriptionThe Office of Cultural Affairs is responsible for highlighting the exciting and vibrant artistic com- munities that make Jersey City both their homes and their workplaces. Throughout the year, we sponsor and promote numerous art fairs, ethnic festivals and flag raisings, as well as local theatre, film and performing arts. We are a proud partner in the October Jersey City Artists Studio tour, which draws thousands from across the tri-state area.
In addition, the Office of Cultural Affairs promotes Jersey City's unique history, from our 19th Century "Everything For Industry" past to our current postion as New Jersey's Gold Coast. We support patriotic events, including Memorial and Veterans Day activities and do our best to help foster civic pride in our gorgeous and historic neighborhoods. Check below for a list of our annual Tapestry of Nations Ethnic Festivals.
