Zombies, book clubs and beer cans.
Not the traditional ingredients for a solid Friday night, but then again, A Comedy Revue – Whistler Style! isn't your typical theatre production.
Whistler's arts community will come together for Friday's (Nov. 16) performance at Millennium Place, which will feature five outrageously divergent one act plays.
Event producer Susan Hutchinson, a stage veteran who also directed a play for the revue, was inspired by the one act productions put on by Squamish's Between Shifts Theatre in the past.
"It's easier rehearsal," said Hutchinson of the one act format. "It's easier to organize people when you're not dealing with a big cast."
The Comedy Revue features 12 local actors with the majority of the plays featuring three thespians each, with some performers pulling double-duty.
Hutchinson, who wanted to hold open auditions for the production but admitted she wasn't organized in time, reached out to other locals — including writer Karen McLeod, who penned two of the plays — involved in Whistler's emerging theatre scene.
"I got the local writer, I've got local dancers, I've got a local musician and local actors. It's really trying to showcase the talent in this town," Hutchinson said.
Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Zombie Hordes, directed by Hutchinson, features everyone's favourite sleuth in a case unlike any he's ever seen. It portrays Arthur Conan Doyle's famous character as a bumbling buffoon who is rivalled in stupidity by none other than his trusty sidekick, Dr. Watson.
"Watson is a little bit in love with Sherlock, I think. Mrs. Hudson is the alcoholic landlady who calls them out on every stupid assumption that they make, which are always wrong," said Hutchinson.
The play features local dance troupe, The Vibe Tribe, as a funked-up zombie horde that would give the undead in Michael Jackson's notorious Thriller video a run (or boogie) for their money.
"The rest of the cast was looking at them rehearse, thinking: 'Wow, we really need to raise the bar here,"' said Hutchinson.
Time Flies is an irresistibly cute production about two mayflies who realize their days are numbered, and decide to maximize their final fleeting moments by shacking up together.
Beer Girl is an offbeat script that tells the timeless tale of a man and his love for a makeshift girlfriend he constructed entirely out of beer cans.
"I really love this play. I had one last act to fill the five, and I found this play online," said Hutchinson. "It's kind of an alcoholic Frankenstein story. I thought anything with beer in it would appeal to Whistler people."
The remaining two plays, written by McLeod, offer up a Whistler flavour for locals to enjoy.
Book Club was inspired by none other than Hutchinson herself, who recently joined McLeod's book club.
"I usually get my ideas from things that people say, that's what starts all my stories," said McLeod. "So (Hutchinson) said a couple of funny things one night and I wrote it from there."
McLeod's next script is called Council's Den, a riff on the popular Canadian series, Dragon's Den, crammed with plenty of insider humour — including a cameo by former mayoral candidate Kristi Wells — that should tickle the average Whistlerite.
The play features a fictional RMOW council deciding on what festivals they should spend precious RMI dollars on.
"In Whistler, there's all these festivals, you just can't keep track. So I thought about what it would be like to pitch festival ideas to someone like Kevin O'Leary, getting shot down," said McLeod, who has previously penned plays for The Chairlift Revue, an annual short play series that has been performed at the World Ski and Snowboard Festival for the last six years.
"I find that my ideas come and then I work them into these 10 or 15 minute plays that I seem to have the opportunity to do," said McLeod. "I've submitted stories and you get a lot of rejections but when you submit locally, it's easier to have success."
The Comedy Revue, produced in partnership with the Whistler Arts Council (WAC), is a prime example of the strong ties that underpin the local arts community.
"The Whistler Arts Council has been a huge motivator to get more local people involved and create a cultural scene in Whistler," said Hutchinson, who applauded the non-profit for partnering with local artists to offer performance space that they wouldn't be able to afford otherwise.
The council is currently seeking input from the community and locally-based artists in particular, for the creation of their Community Cultural Plan, which aims to provide a foundation for Whistler's cultural development in the coming decade.
The lack of easily accessible, affordable rehearsal space is a common issue for many of Whistler's artists, including Hutchinson, and will be addressed in the upcoming cultural plan, said WAC's executive director Doti Niedermayer.
"Whistler is a really expensive town and space is limited," she said. "If you're going to move forward and create an environment for the arts, you've got to find places to rehearse."
A Comedy Revue – Whistler Style! plays Millennium Place Friday at 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased for $20 at the venue or online at www.artswhislter.com.

Hello from the year 2009.
In November, my hosting provider notified me that there'd been some data compromizes affecting my site. As best I can tell, this involved htaccess redirects that caused links on my site to instead send traffic to malware "anti-virus" sites. They said they'd fixed it and that I only needed to worry if I'd been using a Windows machine to FTP into my site during a certain time period. I use Linux, so I was not concerned. However, I did do some googling to find out more about what happened and found others blaming the host itself for poor security. (more…)

Dobson's selection won't just be a boost for Herd fans - it will be a pick-me-up for Kanawha Valley football. Let's put it this way: If you can think of an area player drafted since Capital's Darrion Scott (2004, Vikings) and East Bank's Chris Massey (2002, Rams), you're better than me.
Otherwise, Dobson is going to break a nine-year drought. He has earned it.
After the second scrimmage, typically the real highlight of MU's spring, I'll offer up some winners:
And hey, did anybody miss cornerback Darryl Roberts last year?
One wonders if Chuck Heater, the secondary coach, may have more impact than Chuck Heater, the defensive coordinator. If that makes a shred of sense.
Shawney Kersey could have been added, but he is turning into the team's top enigma. He can get open against anybody, but he had a bunch of drops in the two scrimmages.
Can he fix that over the summer, or is this another source of anguish for Herd fans?

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS -- Inclement weather forced multiple delays during the final day of the 2013 Greenbrier Classic Sunday afternoon.
Many spectators packed up the their folding chairs and headed home at the first signs of rain, but the diehard fans waited out the three-hour-10-minute delay for the chance to see their favorite players tee off for the last time.
At 1:50 p.m., just before the final two groups were set to begin play, dark ominous clouds began rolling over the mountains, bringing with them bursts of cool rain.
With the first flashes of thunder and rumblings of lightning officials and volunteers began ordering spectators to seek shelter. As neon signs along the course walkways flashed a warning message, clusters of disappointed fans began to leave the green. Players and caddies were brought off the course and forced to wait in the locker rooms.
With each clap of thunder or flash of lightning, officials were forced to call an additional 45-minute delay.
Of the fans that chose to stay, some headed for the canopy-covered stands, while others donned ponchos and huddled under umbrellas.
The drizzle didn't bother Terry and Marlene Hammerick, who where attending the tournament as part of their 45th wedding anniversary celebration.
"I'm glad that this weather came," said Terry as he held an umbrella for his wife. "They'll postpone it until tomorrow and we'll be able to walk down from the resort and get to see another day."
Terry had attended the Classic twice before, but it was Marlene's first time.
"Really, we're just killing time," she said. "Normally, we'd love this weather but not today."

Bridgit Claire Mendler was born on Dec. 18, 1992 in Washington D.C. The future star moved to Northern California, just outside San Francisco, when she was eight years old. Mendler began to express an interest in acting as a young girl, and pursued an entertainment career by the time she was 13. She landed her first onscreen role in 2006, appearing on the popular daytime series "General Hospital" (ABC, 1963- ). Her Hollywood career took off shortly after her daytime soap debut, whereupon she was cast in the family film "Alice Upside Down" (2007) opposite Luke Perry, as well as the teen comedy "The Clique" (2008), about a young woman who tries to fit in with the most popular group of girls in her middle school.
Mendler's career went full speed ahead in 2009 with a role in the Betty Thomas-directed "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel," the follow-up to the hit family film, "Alvin and the Chipmunks" (2007). That same year, she co-starred opposite former Disney darling-turned-tabloid queen Lindsay Lohan in the comedy "Labor Pains." Mendler was cast as the younger sister to Lohan's character, a woman who fakes her own pregnancy in order to save her job. Mendler also reportedly auditioned for the lead role on "Sonny with a Chance" (2009- ), a Disney Channel series about a young Midwesterner who moves to California after winning a featured spot on her favorite TV show. The role eventually went to singer and actress Demi Lovato, who the network touted as "The Next Big Thing."
Disney Channel, however, took note of Mendler's star potential. In 2009, the network cast her in a recurring role on its hit comedy "Wizards of Waverly Place" (2007- ) as a young vampire who falls in love with a teen wizard (David Henrie) living in New York. That same year, she was cast as a love interest for another heartthrob, Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers. Mendler played a girl who inspired the rocker to write a song about her on an episode of "Jonas" (Disney Channel, 2009- ). Mendler finally landed a starring role on a new Disney Channel sitcom in 2010, "Good Luck Charlie." The series revolved around a suburban family who grows after the birth of their fourth child, Charlotte (aka "Charlie"). Mendler played the eldest child Teddy, who videotapes life around their home and gives on-camera advice to her baby sister. "Good Luck Charlie" also starred comedians Leigh Allyn Baker and Eric Allan Kramer as the parents, and Jason Dolley and Bradley Steven Perry as her troublemaking brothers. The show focused on bringing the family sitcom back to the small screen, but it also launched Mendler - who performed the theme song "Hang in There Baby" - as a Disney Channel breakout star. In 2011, Mendler starred in the TV film "Lemonade Mouth," about a group of high school students who meet in detention and form a band.

I don't think this question is even worth asking. Apple will never allow OS X to be installed on non-Apple hardware or in a VM on non-Apple hardware. Why would they want to sell you a copy of Lion for £20.99, when they can sell you a MacBook Air for £849.99-£1,652.00? Steve would be turning in his grave if this happened.
The 10.7.2 update released yesterday mentions the following...Other people suggest that Apple should allow OS X to be virtualized on any brand of hardware, even suggesting that Apple should sell a special license for this case. But this is a bad idea. Just selling the OS separately to run as a VM... what's the point of that? So people can run it without buying Apple hardware? What's in it for Apple? Then you'd have all these people who can't afford "real" hardware clogging up the Apple support ecosystem because their piece-of-*** machine doesn't paint the graphics as well as a MacBook.
Other folks have suggested that Apple should sell these virtual hardware licenses so Mac OS X can run in a datacenter on real datacenter (e.g. "non-Apple") hardware which could be used to drive massive OS X-based VDI deployments. Again, this would be a colossally bad thing to do. The reasons people use VDI and the reasons they use Macs are not the same reasons. (In fact, they're almost the opposite.) And all of the beautiful graphics that Apple has can't be remoted except with the fastest LANs, so if you're only going to use an OS X-based VDI environment with a fast LAN... really.. what's the point?

It is not quite beach weather here yet but I have taken the Ostrich for a "test drive" out on my sunny, south facing porch several times and think it is great. I find it to be plenty sturdy and very comfortable while lying sunny side up or down. The face port is the main reason I purchased the chair as I have neck arthritis. This chair is well designed to support the head and neck in both positions. I am also practicing folding and unfolding the chair before I take it on its maiden beach voyage. It does take a bit of muscle to get it folded and mainly I am trying to be aware and take extra care to keep the hinges off the ground/sand when I am folding. I just have a sneaky suspicion that if beach sand gets into the hinges of this chair, that it will not be a good thing regarding flexibility and longevity of the chaise lounge. My plan is to be extra careful with it when at the beach, especially while opening and closing the sections and legs. Having a pre-calculated open and closure strategy, I am sure it will be ok. Overall, am so glad I ordered, look forward to enjoying it, and yes, mom, I promise to wear sunscreen.
Exactly what I was looking for. Will be great for our trip to florida! Only way it could improve is if you could pick the design you want.
It is what I wanted!!
This is the best, most comfortable, and handy beach chair out there. It is the perfect size for us "big kahuna''s" with nice amenities as well.

Best Uses For AVG Internet Security: Anti-Spam, Firewall, Identity Protection, Virus Protection
Product Description
AVG Internet Security provides multiple layers of protection for everything you do online, which means you don't have to worry about identity theft, viruses, or visiting harmful sites.
AVG Protective Cloud Technology and AVG Community Protection Network are included, meaning we collect the latest threat information and share it with our community to make sure you receive the best protection.
Protection that actually speeds up your PC
Some security products slow down your PC; AVG Internet Security 2012 speeds it up, by accelerating the download of content-rich files. Faster system start-up and support for Flash and HD video means you can enjoy online video like YouTube faster than ever before.
AVG Accelerator
AVG Accelerator maximises your computer's connectivity to deliver content faster. It accelerates the download of binary files and minimizes the hangs and delays while watching videos on YouTube. AVG Accelerator is enabled as a default setting when you switch on.
AVG System Tools
AVG's System Tools monitors your PC to allow you to turn off unneeded applications that auto-run at Windows start-up – plus the System Monitor option also provides information about which processes are running. Using this tool, you can make informed decisions about the trust level inside your computer and the safety of your files.
Block hackers and stop identity thieves
More than just Antivirus, AVG Internet Security protects you when shopping and banking, keeping your identity safe. The AVG Firewall prevents inbound and outbound attacks, while Identity Protection secures personal content you enter online.
AVG Enhanced Firewall
The AVG Enhanced Firewall protects you from malicious attacks by examining communications on each network port. When the Firewall recognizes an intrusion attempt it will immediately block it and keep your private information safe from inbound attacks, as well as outbound attacks where malicious software takes control of your computer and attempts to cause damage to other people.
The AVG Enhanced Firewall also includes smart intrusion detection capabilities to keep your home wired or wireless networks secure.
AVG Identity Protection
AVG Identity Protection™ goes way beyond the typical identity theft protection software. Not only will we keep you safe from online threats - we're also able to see when anything potentially bad might be happening on your PC, and stop it before it can do any damage.
Award winning Anti-Virus that just works
Antivirus protection that automatically updates to protect you from continually evolving threats. As hackers develop new techniques, AVG's research labs are constantly processing web data to provide new defenses to keep you automatically protected.
Anti-Virus, Anti-Malware, Anti-Spyware
Our Anti-Virus technology protects you from falling victim to (or unwittingly spreading) a virus, worm, or Trojan horse. The first layer of protection is traditional anti-virus, which keeps known threats out of your system by matching them to a database.
AVG Anti-Spyware protects you from Spyware and Adware that can keep track of your personal information.
AVG Resident Shield provides an additional layer of protection by examining files for threats as they are being copied opened or saved and prevents you opening infected files.
AVG Protective Cloud Technology
Emerging threats are identified "in the cloud" and prevented from infecting your computer via AVG's automatic updates to your anti-virus software.
AVG Community Protection Network
Information about the latest threats is collected from customers who choose to participate, enabling us to constantly identify new threats, supporting everyone in the AVG community and helping us to provide superior anti-virus protection.
Gaming and surfing without interruptions
Get on with your surfing and gaming without interference. Scans operate when you are away from your PC, and it also knows when you are gaming and ensures that the security operates in the background only, leaving you free to play.
AVG Smart Scanning
Our intelligent and lightweight smart scanning technology operates in high-priority mode while you're away from your PC and drops into low-priority mode when you move your mouse or strike a key. AVG Smart Scanning ignores files it has scanned in the past and already knows are safe, enabling vast improvements in scan times.
Game Mode
AVG's Game Mode provides non-stop protection during non-stop action in multi-player games like Call of Duty without annoying lags and freezes caused by scheduled updates and scans. AVG safeguards your digital profile against teams of hackers who are crawling the web, specifically looking to steal your game rewards and sell them for real money.
AVG 2012 constantly monitors your protection level and reports back to our labs team if it detects a security risk. Next to the flagged alert message you will see an Auto-Fix button -- once click resolves the problem. The Auto-Fix button in AVG 2012 will automatically correct errors and set itself back to the best protection mode.
Keep messaging free of spam, worms and scams
Keep your inbox clear of spam and also protect it from phishing scams along with the hidden viruses that they contain. AVG will also protect you when exchanging files through popular instant messaging like MSN and Yahoo.
AVG Anti-Spam
With AVG Anti-Spam, the risk of you becoming part of an online scam is greatly reduced as we regularly update our scanning databases to ensure you have the most complete protection.
Internet-based spam can contain worms and form part of a botnet – a centrally controlled hijacked computer network, which then become the source of more scams.
AVG Online Shield™
AVG Online Shield checks files before you download them and ensures online chat links are safe. It checks files against both AVG's Scanning Engine and our own LinkScanner technology. Instant Messaging Protection also makes sure you are safe when exchanging files using ICQ, MSN and Yahoo! instant messenger.
AVG Email Scanner
AVG E-mail Scanner checks attachments and links sent in emails for threats so that they don't arrive in your inbox and cause damage. AVG E-mail scanner works as a plug-in for email applications – including Microsoft Outlook 2010 - or as a personal e-mail scanner on accounts that use POP3 and SMTP.
Surf and search the web safely
You want to search and surf, but you don't ever want to go to any infected websites. AVG helps you out by clearly alerting you to threats and keeping you clear of them.
LinkScanner® Search-Shield
AVG LinkScanner® shows safety ratings in your search engine results, allowing you to assess the safety of a site before you go there. Search-Shield works with Google, Yahoo!, Bing and other popular search providers, by placing a safety rating next to each link, letting you know which sites can be trusted and which are to be avoided. Sites are rated in four categories, each of which is colour-coded for easy recognition.
LinkScanner® Surf-Shield
AVG Surf-Shield actively checks web pages in real-time at the only time it matters - before you land on that page. If it detects something suspicious, it prevents you from visiting the site. Surf-Shield protects you both when you click a link to a web page and every time you enter a web address directly into your browser. In AVG 2011 we have improved LinkScanner further to give our best detection rates ever.
Share your life on Facebook, not viruses
With AVG protecting your system, you can chat and message your friends on Facebook and other social networks in the knowledge that each web page and link is checked for safety. You won't pick up a malicious link from your friends - and you won't send one either!
AVG Social Networking Protection
AVG Social Networking Protection is powerful in AVG 2012 and is unique to AVG. Links that are exchanged within Facebook, Twitter and MySpace are automatically checked in real-time so that you and your friends are safe.
AVG Social Networking Protection will activate as soon as you install AVG - there's no need to bother with cumbersome account or application settings.
Expert support from techies that care
AVG understands the need to stay safely connected to the web no matter your geographical location or time of day - our mission is to provide ongoing peace of mind on a 24/7 basis.
AVG Support
We have a team of experts that you can turn to at anytime for technical support. Regardless of being an installation query, a product configuration or an AVG technical related question we are here to take the stress out of your life and make sure you are fully protected.
AVG Advisor
AVG Advisor is a new proactive service that constantly monitors the computer and advises the user with solutions on various computer problems they may have. We know that many of our customers have browsers and other applications open for many hours without knowing these applications are constantly consuming the available memory of their PC. Over time, the available memory becomes low and causes the computer to slow down. AVG Advisor will help with such problems by advising you of the potential issue and helping you to rectify it.

Editor's Review
One of the most popular security suites around, AVG Internet Security is an ultra-protective, intuitive, and most importantly, user-friendly antivirus and internet security suite. Offering total security from PC viruses, identity theft attempts, malicious software and much more, AVG Internet Security 9 is one of the most comprehensive and powerful security suites available for Windows users.
AVG has long been a popular option for antivirus security, largely because of their incredibly popular free antivirus packages available in the early 2000s. AVGs paid line of products is also remarkably popular, used by millions of people worldwide, and drawing critical acclaim from a wide range of software critics and publications.
Internet Security 9 provides full protection from unwanted downloads and connection attempts. With a built-in internet security firewall and automatic blocking of potentially harmful websites, Internet Security 9 provides low-maintenance protection from malicious online software and unauthorized online access. Potentially dangerous pages are blocked before users even see them, leaving no risk of infection or hacking attempts.
Alongside the online protection features, AVG Internet Security 9 includes a variety of offline protection applications and scanning tools. Built-in antivirus, anti-spyware, and anti-rootkit tools are ideal for users requiring ongoing offline protection, while email scanning options prevent users' PCs from becoming infected in the first place.
AVG are well-known for their slim installations, and Internet Security 9 is no different from the rest of their product line. After a quick installation, the software is very easy to configure and adjust, leaving users ready to switch it into the background and have silent ongoing internet protection. For PC gamers, a built-in game mode limits system resource usage to boost performance and limit in-game interruptions.
Next to its competition, AVG stands as a remarkably good value internet security suite. Boasting advanced and powerful features, simple user operations, and dedicated PC protection, Internet Security 9 is a great choice for home or office PC protection.
AVG Internet Security: What We Liked
One of the most comprehensive security suites available, boasting antivirus, anti-rootkit, and anti-spyware support, alongside a wide range of other features.
Game mode limits system resources while in-game, allowing gamers to protect their PCs while they're at play.
Slim installation and relatively low system requirements mean that almost any home user can make use of AVG Internet Security 9.
AVG Internet Security: What We Didn't Like
Besides some minor and very rare installation issues, there's little to fault about AVG Internet Security 9.
AVG Support
Online support is available through AVG's online support center. A detailed FAQ, video tutorials, and a large product-based knowledge base are available to Internet Security 9 users. Customer phone support is available for licensing issues and order queries.
About AVG
One of the world's most popular antivirus software developers, AVGs products are used by more than 80 million people worldwide. Founded in 1991, the company has experienced impressive growth since the early 2000s, and are now the fourth largest vendor of PC antivirus software.
No complaints with AVG Internet Security.
Offers a wide array of features including antivirus, anti-rootkit, and anti-spyware, and much more.
Great overall, outside of some minor installation issues.

Is there a tool that can generate Django models from a DTD? Failing that, are there any decent DTD parsers available for Python?

The xmlproc module from PyXML has an XML DTD parser. Try this:
For an example of its usage you can take a look at my DTD "compiler": It basically transforms XML DTDs to Python code for faster access. |

Monique Brasher's first-grade class celebrated 100's day in a big way. Students brought in collections of 100 objects. There were 100 toy cars, 100 army men, 100 grains of rice, 100 cups, 100 pennies and much more! They wrote about what they would do with $100. (A few students even wanted to save it!) Students read books about 100 things. They made glasses out of the number 100. They made necklaces with 100 beads. There even was a visit from a local super hero, Zero the Hero! He is the superhero of numbers ending with zero! Our snack that day was comprised of a mix of 100 pieces of cereal, 100 goldfish crackers, 100 pretzels, 100 Craisins, and so on. It was an exciting and fun way to celebrate 100 days of school!
— Monique Brasher, teacher
Emily Ellefson's second-grade class worked together through the writing process to produce a persuasive letter.
Dear Mrs. Ellefson,
In our opinion we think we should have a class pet. We know you don't think we should have a class pet, but here's why we should. First of all, we will take care of it by feeding it, giving it water, and cleaning its cage including… scooping the poop. Another reason is that we will love and care about the pet. For example, we will play with it. For instance, we could take turns taking it home on the weekends. You could take it home in the summer. Just think how much fun it would be for Annabel and Colby. Finally, the most important reason of all is that we will only play with it during free times. We could even research the pet to learn more about it. So you can see we should get a class pet to enjoy at school.
Sincerely, the Class
Students in Ione Marcy's first-grade have been working on persuasive writing. They have learned that in order to change their audience's mind they must state their request and have good reasons for it. Here are samples of their first efforts:
Dear Mom,
I do not want to clean up the toys anymore because I don't like to clean and it takes forever and also it is very tiring. I will wash the dishes. Please I will also do the laundry and I will always read the books at home.
— Your oldest daughter Angel Wagner
Dear Mom,

During Wolf Pack period on Feb. 23, eighth-grade WEB leaders taught lessons to classes on the importance of asking good questions. In Jeffa Verdu's Wolf Pack group, the assignment involved asking the right questions to determine the location within the classroom of a hidden candy bar. Generally, WEB leaders deliver three lessons during the year. The first lesson of the year was about good study skills. There will be one more lesson this school year. WEB stands for Where Everybody Belongs.

Welcome, guest
Thu Jan 19, 2012
Man Group, the London-listed alternative investment group that includes GLG Partners, has issued a trading statement for the nine months to the end of December showing a further drop in assets under management on the back of weak performance by its core AHL systematic trading engine in 2011 and investor outflows across its range of products.
Separately, the publicly-quoted firm also announced that Noam Gottesman – the original co-founder of GLG along with Pierre Lagrange and Jonathan Green in the early 1990s and the firm's co-CEO in recent years – was stepping back from day-to-day executive responsibilities to become non-executive chairman of GLG's US operation.
Man's funds under management fell to $58.4 billion at the end of the calendar year – down from $64.5 billion at the end of September 2011 and $69.1 billion at the end of March 2011 – with sales in the third quarter of $3.1 billion...

Expanding your business internationally may create new opportunities for employees to work abroad. Here's how to make the experience a positive one.
If you're thinking about taking your business into global markets, you (or your existing employees) may face some concerns about the possibility of living and working abroad. I (Bill, the less dynamic of this column's dynamic duo) lived overseas in London for a year and in Johannesburg, South Africa for another year. My wife and daughters joined me in London, and my wife joined me in Jo'burg (my daughters having moved on to college by then). So I can offer some firsthand experience on the professional and personal challenges involved with a foreign assignment.
In both cases my overseas assignment was to advise Global 1000 corporations on growth strategy. In London I was assigned to the London office of a strategic advisory firm. There was already an infrastructure in place, which eased my transition. Even better, the London team had experience with the legalities and formalities of moving an American to London. Regulations vary from one location to another, so having experts in local employment law is invaluable.
In my case, the London office had to prove it had exhausted reasonable avenues to hire locally before it could bring an ex-pat to fill the position. They advertised for my role in several UK newspapers for one to two months to prove there were no suitable local candidates. The results of the local search became part of my visa and work permit application.
The London HR team also put me in touch with relocation realtors who could work with my wife to find a suitable, fully furnished apartment for us. As our daughters were with us, we wanted to be within walking distance of our daughters' high school.
School was a major challenge for us. The British curriculum is quite different from the American curriculum. If we had put our daughters into a local British school, they likely would have been "off course" in that school (i.e., having to repeat certain subjects and not having the prerequisites for other subjects). Even worse, they would certainly have gotten "off course" for their return to America.
As a result, we really had no choice but to enroll our daughters in an American school in London. Major cities overseas often have American schools that teach a typical American curriculum, precisely so that ex-pats like myself can keep our children on course. If you plan to stay overseas for several years or less and your children are middle-school age or older, these schools allow them to stay on track to graduate on time.
Of course an American school overseas is a private school, which means we paid private-school tuition rates. In general London is a very expensive city; prices are about two times the prices in most U.S. cities. At the time we could not have afforded to move to London and pay tuition for two daughters, so we negotiated with my employer to cover all of our expenses, including rent, tuition, periodic travel back to the U.S., and a daily expense allowance. My employer was very generous (although since their alternative was to turn away very lucrative work, it was a worthwhile investment).
Although we were given a travel allowance to travel back to the States every quarter, we chose not to travel home at all. Instead, we took advantage of all London and other European cities had to offer. We drove out to Stonehenge as a family, took the train to Edinburgh for a long weekend. We spent Christmas week in Spain (on the Costa Del Sol). We spent a long, cold summer weekend in Goteborg and Stockholm, Sweden. We took the Chunnel to Paris. We spent Thanksgiving in Rome. Our blowout Spring break trip was to spend a week in the Seychelles Islands in the Indian Ocean. Some of our best memories as a family are of the amazing trips we were able to take during the year in London.
In an upcoming article I'll talk about our experience in Johannesburg, an amazing and dangerous city.
What has your experience been working and living abroad? Please share with us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: To be fair there, a lot of that rests on the artists. I was reading an interview in which someone in the industry - I forget who, Stephenson maybe? - was talking about how disappointed he was in the work Moore was putting out at the time, and then one of his friends was like "no, check this" and gave him a look at the script. It, apparently, revealed how much was simply left out and ignored by the artist.

A Catholic school in Redlands has scheduled a mass for Wednesday to remember the victims of today's school shooting in Connecticut.
Angela Williams, principal of Sacred Heart Academy, said the school dedicated its morning prayer to the victims of the shooting in Newtown, Conn. which has left 20 children and six adults dead. The memorial mass is scheduled for 8:45 a.m. Wednesday at the school on South Eureka Street in Redlands.
"We will be praying for the victims. We will be praying for the shooter," Williams said. "We will be praying for anyone who has a thought like that, that they can experience some kind of conversion to repentance for what they've done. And it reminds us our security at the school."
Williams said it was likely the school will issue an automated phone alert to parents -- though it had not been finalized -- informing them of the incident and that they may want to discuss it with their children.
"We haven't talked to the children about it. We don't want to scare them," said Williams. "The first reaction was of being heart broken and going into prayer. For our children, this is the type of news that when they go home, to let the parents talk to them about it."
Williams, who has been at the school since 1992, is in her second year as principal. Sacred Heart, with its 260-student population, is the oldest still-operating school in the San Bernardino Diocese. It dates back 115 years.

Harrison County has issued a burn ban due to the lack of significant rainfall.
The order, signed by Harrison County District Judge Hugh Taylor, prohibits burning in unincorporated areas of the county, except as provided in state law, or for outdoor cooking in enclosed pits or grills.
Burn bans can be ordered when the Commissioners Court finds that circumstances are present in all or part of the unincorporated area of the county that create a public safety hazard that would be exacerbated by outdoor burning.
"We have been getting a lot of rain from July, "explains StormTracker 12 Chief Meteorologist Stephen Parr, "But we're coming off of 2 years of drought, so we started behind and we're still behind for the year overall. We've been getting showers just about every day, but they haven't been heavy soakers."
It's the only burn ban currently in effect in the ArkLaTex, but StormTracker Steve says we could get more popping up if we don't get enough rain falling down.

In the wake of the Newtown, Connecticut shootings, a chilling fashion trend has popped up: bulletproof clothing and accessories for children. Miguel Caballero, a Colombian business man who has been designing protective gear for politicians and security guards for over 20 years, launched the idea after what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
After the shootings, Caballero and his company started getting orders from worried parents. So they designed a line for kids that includes t-shirts, vests, and backpacks to be sold in the U.S.
"We have received messages from all over the United States' seeking the protective gear," Giovanni Cordero, the company's marketing director, told the AP. "The products were created with the American market in mind, not for the Latino market. All the designs and colors, everything is thought out with them in mind."
The collection is developed for kids aged 8 to 16, with prices ranging from $200 to $400. The company explains that the garments would not be for everyday use, just in case of emergencies for teachers to hand out.
Does it make anyone else as sad to read about this as it made me to write this? Do you agree with Caballero that there's a need for these garments, or would our efforts be better spent elsewhere?

Tremella, considered as the Mushroom of Beauty in Chinese culture, was made popular by the Chinese Imperial Concubine Yang Guifei.
