Experts look at financing options for Caribbean wastewater management
Our Habitat
THE Caribbean Regional Fund for Wastewater Management (CReW) will this week host its first regional workshop in Belize, which will explore revolving funds.
Revolving funds are among the more flexible, innovative and effective financial management mechanisms which can provide sustainable financing for the development of much-needed wastewater treatment facilities, costly propositions for regional governments struggling to maintain those that already exist.
A 2009 UNEP report entitled Assessment of Wastewater Management in the Caribbean found untreated domestic wastewater had severe consequences for coastal ecosystems in the wider Caribbean region. This has resulted in:
* increased fish mortality and negative effects on commercial fisheries;
* declines in coral reefs estimated to cost the region up to US$870 million by 2050;
* threats to human health; and
* threats to the tourism sector.
Belize is one of four participating countries in which GEF CReW is piloting financing mechanisms that can be used to provide sustainable financing for environmentally sound and cost-effective wastewater management.
"US$5 million of GEF CReW funds are being provided directly to the Government of Belize as a capitalisation grant for the Belize Wastewater Revolving Fund (BWRF) to establish a regional sewage collection, treatment and disposal system for the Placencia Peninsula. This is the first generation project of the BWRF, which will provide zero or below-market interest loans for eligible wastewater treatment projects," said a release from CReW.
The Ministry of Finance is the pilot executing agency for the BWRF. Eligible projects include local wastewater projects that advance the obligations of the Cartagena Convention's Land-Based Sources of Pollution (LBS) Protocol, the only legally binding regional agreement for the protection and development of the Caribbean Sea. The LBS Protocol entered into force in 2010, committing signatories to making major improvements in wastewater management.
The workshop -- which will run from September 18 to 19 in Belize City -- aims to provide participants, who come from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) and utility, finance and environmental sectors in CReW's 13 participating countries -- Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Panama, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad & Tobago -- with a broad view of the operation of revolving funds with particular reference to the experience in developing countries.
"It will also assist the pilot countries in the operation and design of their own national funding mechanisms to be developed under the GEF CReW Project and promote a network of expertise that could facilitate the replication and/or development of similar funding mechanisms in other non-pilot Caribbean countries," the release said.
Martin Baker, an environmental lawyer with extensive experience in the planning, financing and operating of water, wastewater and other infrastructure projects in Latin America, Asia, Eastern Europe and the Gulf States, will lead the Workshop.
Peter Shanaghan, team leader of the National Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Programme for the Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water, United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) will share their experience in operating revolving funds.
Paul Marchetti, an economist and executive director of the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority since 1988, will share practical experience in maintaining, replenishing and growing revolving funds.
The GEF CReW Project aims to: provide sustainable financing for the wastewater sector; support policy and legislative reforms and to foster regional dialogue and knowledge exchange among stakeholders in the wider Caribbean region.

Some of the best ice cream can be found in Panama City Beach. The website TripAdvisor has ranked the Pink Pelican ice cream bar number two on it's list of America's top ice cream bars.
Pink Pelican owner Rick Dorman says he takes the rankings serious because reviews are peoples experiences and the better the reviews, the better their experiences. When you're rated second best in the nation it's obvious you must be doing something right and Dorman says the lofty ranking is great and the next step is reaching number one.
Rick moved to Panama City Beach from Seattle four years ago and opened the Pink Pelican which features 40 different flavors of ice cream. The Pink Pelican is located in the Shoppes at Edgewater on the beach.

Welcome to the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Society of Appraisers!
Leading Appraisal Organization
Serving Pennsylvania and New Jersey
Many Fields and Specialities
Why Choose An ASA-Accredited Appraiser?
2014 BV Seminar "A Stunning Success"
The Eighth Annual ASA Philadelphia Chapter Spring Business Valuation Seminar on Friday, May 2, 2014, was a stunning success by all accounts.
The all-day event, held at the DoubleTree Suites in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, and attended by approximately 50 appraisers whose practices extend along the entire eastern seaboard and west to Ohio, featured four acclaimed thought leaders as speakers.
Read the complete press release.
Best Chapter Mentor Program
The ASA Philadalphia Chapter was one of only four Chapters to come home from the 2013 Joint International Appraisers and Advanced Business Valuation Conferences in San Antonio with an Award plaque in its kit bag. At the annual International Awards luncheon, presided over by ASA International President, J. Mark Penny, ASA, Chapter President Robert J. Luciani, ASA accepted the Award for Best Chapter Mentor Program. As a member and past President of the Philadelphia Chapter -- and a 2-term Regional Governor -- Mark Penny knows mentoring is a core Chapter value, one that has brought the Best Chapter Mentor Program trophy home to Philadelphia from three previous International Conferences.
Susan Golashovsky, ASA: 2013 Sinclair Award Winner!
The 2013 George D. Sinclair Professionalism Award was presented to Philadelphia Chapter member and ASA Region 1 Governor, Susan Golashovsky, ASA by Samuel F. Luceno, FASA (left) at the Chapter's September meeting. The Award, which was created in 2003 by the Philadelphia Chapter, recognizes an individual -- not necessarily a Chapter member -- whose actions have enhanced the appraisal profession. Ms. Golashovsky is the principal of her eponymous Doylestown, PA appraisal consultancy, which serves corporate, general public, industry and governmental clients worldwide. She is accredited in Personal Property with specialty designations in Residential Contents, Antiques & Decorative Arts, Antique Furniture, and American Folk Art. She also holds a Winterthur Museum certificate in American Material Culture and is an elected Fellow of The Society of Antiquaries of Scotland (National Museums Scotland). Known for her wide-ranging expertise, Susan is often called upon for presentations and mentoring. Before joining the Board of Governors, Ms. Golashovsky served ASA as Chair of the Ethics Committee, and is a past President of the Philadelphia Chapter. She is the immediate Vice-Chair of the Personal Property Committee. As the 2013 recipient of the Sinclair Award, Susan Golashovsky is both honored by and does honor to the award.
Mass Appraisal Designations Revised
The ASA Real Property Committee recently released a white paper outlining an updated and expanded Ad Valorem/Mass Appraisal designations. Philadelphia Chapter member Samuel F. Luceno, FASA, (at right in photo) who chairs the Committee, recommends an AppraisalBuzz article Ad Valorem/Mass Appraisal: A New Direction and Opportunity by Micheal R. Lohmeier, FASA, which describes the circumstances and logic behind the new designations. Mr. Lohmeier, also a member of the Real Property Committee, is Assessor for the City of Auburn Hills, Michigan. In brief, the new designations are Ad Valorem/Mass Appraisal General, and Ad Valorem/Mass Appraisal Residential, both of which have rigorous experience, education and examination requirements.
Mark Penny Swears in 2012-13 Officers
Susan Golashovsky Elected to Board of Governors
Susan M. Golashovsky, ASA, a personal property appraiser who has served ASA in many capacities, has been elected to the Board of Governors for Region 1. When not working with the clients of her eponymous Doylestown, PA appraisal consultancy, Ms. Golashovsky also serves ASA as Vice-Chair of the International Personal Property Committee and Chair of the International Ethics Committee. As a member of the Board of Governors, she can be expected to advocate for high standards of experience, ethics, and education. An exemplar of the "well-educated appraiser," she holds a Winterthur Museum certificate in American Material Culture and has earned ASA accreditation in multiple specialities. Raising the bar for standards, she is designated in Residential Contents-General, American Folk Art and Antique Furniture, and Antiques & Decorative Arts.
Chapter Supports George Sinclair Fund
At a time when true heroes and great leaders are hard to find, the Philadelphia Chapter is fortunate to have had among its members George D. Sinclair, FASA (1925-2005), whose example continues to inspire. To carry on George's tradition of generous mentoring, the Chapter established a George Sinclair Memorial International Education Fund in 2006, making the initial contribution. The Fund, which is administered by ASA, provides tuition assistance to qualified international applicants, including most recently to Machinery & Technical Specialties Candidate, David Mbindyo of Kenya.
This year, with the economy making scholarships more important than ever, the Philadelphia Chapter is pleased to announce a grant-in-aid to the George Sinclair Fund of $750.
Past Regional Governor J. Mark Penny, ASA of Hempstead & Co., Inc. in Somerdale, New Jersey has also made a generous contribution, donating the $250 honorarium he received for conducting the recent USPAP Update Course.
ASA members and the public are encouraged to support the fund too. Donations to the George F. Sinclair, FASA International Studies Fund can be sent payable to "ASA Chapter 35" to ASA-Philadelphia, 8 Terrace Road, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462, or payable to "ASAEF" to ASA Educational Foundation, 555 Herndon Parkway, Suite 125, Herndon, VA 20170.

rates (USD)

vacation rental description
Amid the warm Mexican Caribbean climate, spectacular natural beauty and stunning
Mayan culture, Casa Whitley inspires relaxation, tranquility and a true retreat from
everyday life. Located on the Riviera Maya, in the exclusive gated resort community of
Playacar (40 minutes south of the Cancun airport), Casa Whitley is an exquisite
hideaway for only the most discriminating guests. The sun-drenched ambiance is
reflected through the simple yet elegant architecture of the Spanish Colonial design by architect Angel Eslea. Interiors were designed by the owner, renowned Connecticut interior decorator, Carol Whitley.
Double height ceilings, rough-sewn wood beams, skylights and custom Talavera tiles add
to the home's unique style. A Mayan waterfall spills into the sparkling swimming pools
reflecting a lush landscape of tropical plants and palms. A fully equipped gourmet kitchen awaits the amateur chef. The large living room has a 18-foot wrap around sofa, 2 large rattan arm chairs and antique coffee table. The center piece of the dining room is a massive 9-foot mahogany table and rattan arm chairs to encourage hours of dining
pleasure. All the main rooms spill out onto the terra cotta tiled terrace and the pools
beyond. The Casa is perfectly situated on the 4th hole of the beautiful and
challenging Robert Von Hagge Golf Course. The Spa at Playacar Golf Club, within easy
walking distance, offers luxurious and relaxing treatments.
Four bedrooms and a master suite sleep a total of 12 guests. Four and a half bathrooms,
some with double sinks, a sky-lit tub and showers, are each enhanced with hand-made
blue and white tiles. Each upstairs bedroom has its own terrace. The Casa is fully air
conditioned with individual room controls.
Only a short walk away (less than a mile) is the beach, ferry boat to Cozumel and Playa's famed "La Quinta" (5th Ave). The pedestrian street is lined with many shops and
international cafes. La Quinta comes alive at night with strolling musicians and lively
international conversations. But the best of Playa is the miles of silky white beaches kissed by the sparkling turquoise waters of the Mexican Caribbean.
The friendly atmosphere of Casa Whitley, its romantic nights, myriad of daytime
activities and its location in the heart of the Mexican Riviera Maya, make it the perfect
place to spend your vacation.
Be sure to check out our sister property 8147, Casa De Velas-House of Sails. It is located a few miles away. It sleeps 6, enabling us to accommodate up to 18 in both villas.
A perfect location for a destination wedding, family reunion or just a large group of friends!

activities and attractions in Playa del Carmen Yucatan
The Crocodile Farm: This attraction is a 25 minute drive north of Playa. A lot of fun for
families. Animals to hold and good picture opportunities. A fun cloudy morning adventure!
Xcaret: This nature park is fun for the entire family. The admission fee is approximately
$45 for an adult. There is a swim-with-the-dolphin program (call early for a reservation).
A very worthwhile experience! There are animals to see, underground rivers to snorkel,
beaches to relax on, sea turtles, and other marine life to explore. The Mayan show at night is great. Many upscale restaurants. Plan on spending a full day and evening at Xcaret. Only
5 minutes south of Playacar.
Xel-ha: Xel-ha is very similar to Xcaret but more natural. Perhaps more fun for adults. For
an entrance fee of $45, it is ALL INCLUSIVE. This includes a locker, snorkel equipment and ALL food and drink!! A terrific deal. This attraction can be included with a tour of Tulum, which can be arranged through any travel agency in town. Transportation included.
Puerto Aventuras: Another resort community with a marina, only 15 minutes south of
Playacar. A nice place to have a drink and watch the dolphins. There is a dive shop there, Mike Madden Dive Aventuras, which is suppose to be the best in the area.
They provide transportation from Playacar hotel zone.
Aviary Xaman-Ha: Located right in Playacar, a short walk from the Casa. This bird
sanctuary is 1.8 hectares of jungle that is home to over 200 birds from 60 species. A lovely area. Be sure to bring your camera and insect repellent! A modest entrance fee.
Explore Mayan ruins right on the grounds of Playacar or venture out and discover the

Auditors Steve Moore and Geoff Bryant of Potter, Bryant and Moore, PC, gave board members and those in the audience a "very clean" report.
"With your general fund, your total revenues came in at $21.1 million. You spent $21.2 million, so there was a decrease of $156,000," Moore explained. "If you flip the page over, you can see that you had transfers in and transfers out of $479,000 ... so there was an increase of $322,000 in the general fund last year; that added to the $6 million you had at the beginning of the year gives you the $6.4 million net position fund balance that you have at the end of the year."
He continued to talk about the system's special revenue fund, which consists of the child nutrition program, local schools and federal programs. The special revenue fund had an ending balance of $1.771 million, according to Moore, who also praised the district for having an untarnished report regarding federal programs.
"For your federal programs, there were no material weaknesses or reportable conditions. We issued an unmodified opinion on your major programs, and we did not find any findings that were required to be disclosed in accordance with federal auditing standards ... The major programs this year were Title 1 and your 21st Century Community Learning Center," Moore said. "Three hundred thousand dollars was the threshold for your Type A and Type B programs, and you qualify as a low-risk auditee. This is something for you to take pride in, in the fact to qualify as a low-risk auditee, there cannot be any findings in your federal programs for the last three years, and I know that with the Jasper board it goes back at least nine years. So, that's something I think you should be proud of."
Toward the end of the presentation, Moore had board members notice a two-page letter that basically lets the board know if there was anything found during the audit that they should be concerned with; however, Moore said, "This is a very clean, boilerplate letter."
Assistant Superintendent Jean Lollar said she and superintendent Robert Sparkman were very pleased with the results of the audit, especially the compliments given toward the system's federal programs.
"It was a very clean audit, to quote the auditors. They were very complimentary in the fact that we had no discrepancies. ... There was one thing I was particularly proud of, the auditors gave accolades to the federal programs section of our audit," Lollar said. "... It's a collaborative effort, and that is one thing that Dr. Sparkman said when the auditors finished, that it is not just one person, but it is a collaborative effort.
" ... Managing federal programs is not easy. It's a very difficult task. Any time that you are dealing with federal money, there are so many strings attached and so many regulations, and it's the type of budgeting that takes extra time," she continued. "You have to go the extra mile when dealing with federal programs. I thought that was an extremely good report, particularly for federal programs. Overall, they were very complimentary."
In other business, board members:
•approved the minutes for the May 19 and June 3 meetings.
•approved the financial report and presentation of bank reconciliations stated by the school system's chief school financial officer, Monique Rector.
•approved the 2013-2014 District Budget Amendment.
•approved a concessions contract with Coca-Cola for Walker High School.
•approved the district's salary schedule.
•approved a technology upgrade purchase.
•approved the purchase of school buses.
•approved the disposal of surplus equipment from schools.
•approved the parent/student handbook for 2014-2015.
•approved overnight field trip requests.
•approved the superintendent's report of monthly personnel and recognized new employees.

The San Francisco 49ers may have to beat the New York Giants without starting guard Mike Iupati, who exited the game and headed to the locker room late in the first quarter. The team hasn't officially characterized the injury. Iupati appears to have some sort of leg injury as trainers attended to him as he tried to walk around on the sidelines.
The 49ers shook up their offensive line due to Iupati's absence with Chilo Rachal at right guard and Adam Snyder at left guard. [Update: Iupati has since returned to the game.]
Also getting dinged up was Giants center David Baas. It's unclear what happened to him but he exited the game early in the second quarter and was replaced by Kevin Boothe. Baas missed five games earlier this season so the Giants have some familiarity playing without him.

(News-Register, July 19, "Off-leash dogs prompt warning")
"Pets are prohibited entirely in Rotary Nature Preserve Park, Upper City Park, --> all park playgrounds
oops! there was a lot more to my previous post but where it went, I do not know! :)
anyway, leashed dogs not allowed on park playgrounds. How does one know what part of Discovery Park or all other parks is just that -- a playground? I found that part of the rule/regulation somewhat confusing.
Dogs need to run freely in large open spaces to break up the monotony of a back yard and the ever present leash.
I am surprised at the lack of free open space in McMinnville.
The problem is people who stubbornly insist on letting their dogs run loose in parks not designed or equipped for off-leash dogs and inflicting their bad behavior on others.
I am a responsible owner who very much resents irresponsible owners. Their bad behavior forces adoption of more and more regulatory measures.

Few Broadway musicals ever seemed less likely to get revived than Nine. The winner of the Best Musical Tony in 1982, its reviews were nevertheless mixed and it went down in theatre history as a stylish but substance-free vehicle for a male star and an array of flamboyant females. (Some hard-core show fans revile Nine for taking the Tony away from Dreamgirls, by opening on the last day of the 1981-82 season.) Furthermore, no director was willing to challenge the memory of Tommy Tune's stunning original production, with its white-tiled setting, chic black costumes (the show effectively launched William Ivey Long's career), and once-in-a-lifetime cast, led by Raul Julia, Karen Akers, Liliane Montevecchi, and Anita Morris.
But shows are meant to be revived and reinvented, so it fell to English director David Leveaux to find a new approach to Nine. Based loosely on a quite different production (designed by Anthony Ward with lighting by Paul Pyant) at London's Donmar Warehouse, Leveaux's new take on Nine has become one of the hottest tickets of the New York season. The reasons are many, including star Antonio Banderas' sensational Broadway debut, and a galaxy of supporting stars, including Mary Stuart Masterson, Jane Krakowski, and the indestructible Chita Rivera. Nevertheless, Leveaux's achievement is twofold: He has, with his designers, given Nine a sleek, stylish new look, and he has also found the emotional core of this musical, adapted by Arthur Kopit and songwriter Maury Yeston from Federico Fellini's film masterpiece, 8½.
As in the film, Nine centers on Guido Contini, an internationally celebrated film director. Guido seemingly has everything, but in fact his life is rapidly disintegrating. His marriage to Luisa, the love of his life, is unraveling. His lover, Carla, wants him to get a divorce, right now. His leading lady/muse, Claudia, is missing in action. His producer, Liliane LaFleur, is pressing him to start filming — and he hasn't written a word of the script. In short, Guido is burned out, used up, and overextended in every possible way. He flees with Luisa to a secluded Venetian spa, in search of privacy; what follows is a Fellini-esque carnival in which Guido is beset by a city of women, each of whom wants a great big piece of him. The ladies appear and disappear as in a dream — seducing, cajoling, begging, denouncing. Nine is a thoroughly surreal exercise, a fantasia taking place in its leading character's mind, as past and present collide, and Guido, on the verge of a nervous breakdown, faces the fact that every life, even his, is about making choices.
In this new production, Nine is distinguished by a crisp, chic look that establishes its own identity even as it recalls the black-and-white Fellini original. Scott Pask's spa setting, a sleek creation in stone, glass, and metal, is filled with visual surprises, including floods of water and a tiled mural of the Three Graces. Brian MacDevitt's lighting works endless variations on the theme of white light to distinguish the many levels of Guido's imagination. Most dazzling of all are Vicki Mortimer's black and white costumes, all of which could have come right off a Milan catwalk, circa 1965: chic, tailored suits that end in the tiniest of miniskirts; hostess outfits with sprays of flowers across the front, one-piece Empire minidresses with black bow ties placed just above the breasts — everything accessorized with big earrings, purses, headbands, and other key period accoutrements.
Mortimer says that, based on her conversations with Leveaux, a number of design ground rules emerged, chief among them that "apart from Luisa, all the women should look as they did when Guido first met them — i.e., they should have one look, as opposed to changing with the events of the piece." Equally important, she says, "It was crucial that each woman have her own persona, not a generic or choric look, in order to earn her place in Guido's past."
These designer-director conversations also dictated many of the stylistic choices that followed. The black-and-white look, says Mortimer, "was connected to the dialogue between reality and fantasy, memory and present time in the piece." (The one exception is the addition of gold in some clothes for the Act II sequence in which Guido begins shooting a film about Casanova.) In addition, she says, "The '60s were very important to David's view of Nine, especially the early '60s of Catholic Europe. That was the point of balance between '50s conservatism and the permissiveness of the later '60s and '70s. Fashion is a fantastic illustration of this — you can see young women still dressing like their mothers in, say, Chanel, alongside the new icons of Pucci, Quant, and early Paco Rabanne." She notes that the clothes then reflect "the thrill of liberation, the excitement of individual expression rather than conformity."
Seeking inspiration for her designs, Mortimer says, "I was keen to find reference material specifically from mainland Europe, not England or the US, so I asked an Italian-English design associate, Justin Arienti, to find material in Milan on my behalf. He came up with some wonderful pictures, mostly from Italian fashion magazines of the time, of which there is a good collection at the Biblioteca Roditi." Interestingly, she adds, "Fellini's own clothes aesthetic was very influential, of course — he had a wonderful ability to push the boundaries of what a particular woman is likely to wear, from the very ordinary to extreme artifice."
The designer began working before she met the cast, "to be sure there were sufficient iconographic triggers for the audience to release their own associations of the time." However, she says, "Most drawings were altered in some way after I met the women. They were a heavenly group — diverse, independent, gorgeous."
Each of the leading ladies has a carefully wrought look that speaks volumes about her character. Carla, Guido's luscious mistress, played by Jane Krakowski, wears "a simple trapeze shape of Mackie net with strategically placed lines and jingles of beads intensifying as they reach the hem." She appears virtually nude, covered only in glittering baubles. The designer says, "I had originally thought that she would have more in common with the Carla in 8½. I based her look on a dress worn by Natalie Wood at Cannes in the early '60s — very presentational and curvy — but Jane brought such a modern, provocative presence that we had to start again. The key was to find something that could give us a child/woman sexuality; what nailed it was a fashion picture from a recent magazine showing a girl in what seemed to be a shower of water. This gave us a surface combining nudity and a reflective shimmer, the perfect counterpoint to Luisa," who is dressed in a gray tailored skirt and white blouse, with square black glasses.
Even though Luisa (Mary Stuart Masterson) wears the simplest outfit onstage, Mortimer says her clothes underwent the most transformations. "It took two goes before we realized the crucial thing: that she and Guido should feel like real partners, that they should look like they belonged together, despite the range of temptations around him. Mary Stuart's way of describing it was that Luisa should feel like the script girl — her discretion masks her hold on her husband." In contrast, the costume for Claudia (Laura Benanti), a serious, dedicated actress, is designed to look like "the archetype of New Wave French cinema — trench coat, dark glasses; this was something that Anthony had used in the Donmar production, and it clearly worked well for the part."
Two characters are exempt from the prevailing '60s style ethos. Guido's mother (Mary Beth Peil) wears a long black dress, with a hat and black fur muff that is appropriate to her station as a well-off widow. "It was important that she should be the epitome of the ideal mother for Guido — feminine, austere, beautiful, and witty," says Mortimer. "David wanted her to look as she would have done at Guido's father's funeral, handbag and all, even in the lineup for 'Folies Bergère.'" That musical number is delivered by Chita Rivera as Liliane, as she urges Guido to make a musical film; Liliane is dressed in the New Look of the 1950s, with a voluminous black skirt, and a hat and veil — "Parisian, of course," says the designer, "the Dior thing, representing the liberation of postwar sensuality, and playing shamelessly on Chita's own star status to emphasize the gloss and glamour of Liliane's past as a great vedette and chanteuse. On a simple level, she is part of a lost and beautiful past, and should feel part of that era, a grown-up in grown-up couture." Of course, Liliane's skirt disassembles, allowing her to dance a sizzling tango with Guido.
Most of the costumes were built by Tricorne, the New York-based costume house founded by Doug Quandt, Katherine Marshall, and Scott Traugott; the latter is one of Mortimer's US assistants, along with Brian J. Bustos. Antonio Banderas' outfit, a simple, well-tailored set of white shirt, black tie, and black pants, was executed by John David Ridge. Rodney Gordon built the millinery. Speaking of other key collaborators, the designer says, "I was incredibly lucky to have [hair designer] David Brian Brown and [makeup designer] Naomi Donne working on the show — none of the looks for the women mean anything without their work. They were happy to respond both to my reference pictures and bring their own, and made me recognize the incredible wealth of invention around the way women presented themselves at the time." She also mentions UK assistant Lynette Mauro, who found many of the show's fabrics in London: "She is absolutely my equal in her ability to become childishly over-excited at the sight of the right button for something!"
Summing up, Mortimer says, "Nine was, for me, a dream project — a wonderful eclectic period; Italy; the movies; a license to make each woman look as fantastic as possible; just one man at the center. Heaven!"
There are some sets you look at and immediately think, "I'd like to live there"; Scott Pask's set for Nine makes you think, "I'll have a sauna, mud bath, and full body massage, please." Set in an ultra-posh spa in 1960s Venice, Pask has melded ancient Roman rubble with Italianate tiling and sleek steel and glass to create what the designer likes to call an installation, one that somehow manages to be both Fellini-esque and completely realistic at the same time.
It's also very much in keeping with Pask's style, which has been heavily influenced by his background in architecture (he has a bachelor's in architecture from University of Arizona), and which director David Leveaux calls "effortlessly modern." Leveaux had directed a production of Nine at the Donmar Warehouse about seven years ago; designed by Anthony Ward, it shares only the use of water and a table as a central object with the current Broadway incarnation. For this production, Leveaux stressed to Pask, "It's got to be Italian."
That wasn't a problem for the designer. "I lived in Florence during my education, and studied architecture there," he explains. "There aren't many Italianate references per se in this production; it's a deeper world. We have this ancient floor and a big crumbling wall, and then we have these modern glass walls, which move like a '60s game show, first to allow fluid entrances, then, ultimately, to reveal the complete space."
One of the most breathtaking visual elements of the production is a huge Botticelli-esque mural of the Three Graces, hidden upstage behind the glass walls and a moveable curtain until the second act centerpiece, "The Grand Canal." As the main character, director Guido Contini, struggles to film his movie with no script, water trickles down the mural into a standing pool, as if the women were weeping, and the downstage bath fills with water and overflows.
For Pask, half the fun in building the Nine set was finding the materials, most of which come from the architectural world. He especially enjoyed finding the tile that covers the stage floor. "My studio's on Union Square, so I just ran around to the tile vendors, and fell in love with a sample at Country Floors called travertine noche, which is a dark travertine. The beauty of this tile and its grout is that it changes color when it's wet. I was adamant that we not use any sealer that would prevent that effect from happening onstage. So, in the end, after Antonio's 'drowning,' when the water has drained, you're left with that damp, darkened surface."
The glass doors and walls also came from the architectural world; the translucent panels are film-covered Lexan and the stainless steel fittings are a system of glass framing and support commonly known as the Pilkington system. The curtain hiding the mural was made of Tyvek. "It's meant to look like a renovation curtain that pulls across this fresco in a great state of decay. It's indestructible, and because of its texture and color, when it's backlit, it's incredible." Hudson Scenic built everything, with the exception of the tiling, which was subcontracted to Dimension Stone.
The fresco, inspired by Botticelli, was painted on plaster by Grace Brandt and her team at Hudson. Though it had to be waterproof, for the crying effect, Pask still wanted it to retain the chalkiness of a fresco. "To make the gold tile field surrounding the fresco, several varied laser-routed templates were created. Those were filled with a plaster compound; when pulled up, they leave depressions that create the tile grout lines. The whole field is done that way, and then when those were all set, they'd go in and hack away at the plaster to simulate various states of decay. Then they gold leaf the large areas, and then add the water damage from above. I just bow down to Grace and her team of artists for what they accomplished."
Pask and the Roundabout tech crew turned to effects specialists Jauchem & Meeh to create both water effects. A 3,000-gallon reflecting pool, which runs the length of upstage, is the source for the crying effect, for which water is pumped up to a set of pipes at the top of the mural. "It had to be laid onto the wall in a very non-turbulent way, to prevent splash," explains Gregory Meeh. "Noise was also an issue; there are some big, flat spaces onstage. Originally, it came out of a spray head and we heard a splatter sound, which amplified and echoed around the room. And then we also had to keep the water running down the wall rather than dripping, because when it drips and hits the pool then there's the sound of it hitting the water. Changing nozzle configurations and pressures solved that problem."
The pool is a tiled ellipse located center stage that features a glass edge at the front so the audience can see it fill with water. "I loved the idea of an infinity pool, and thought it would be great to have it here, even though usually the edge is intended for the pool's inhabitants," says Pask. The water that fills the pool comes from a 2,000-gallon tank housed underneath the stage and is pumped up very quickly on cue; both water effects are cued via the lighting console. "There's a huge amount of water to get into that pool in a relatively short time," Meeh explains. Even trickier, he notes, is getting rid of the water. "We had to put a 6" drain on it; that's a very large valve on the drain. But now it can drain back into the tanks faster than we need it to."
Both tanks are filtered and treated much like the water in a swimming pool, though with milder forms of chemicals, since no one's actually taking a bath. The water is monitored and changed regularly. "I like working with water," says Meeh. "It's one of my favorite media. [Roundabout technical supervisor] Steve Beers and consulting carpenter Dan Hoffman knew this was a challenge, and they really worked with it, as did the shop, to make a setup that would work. Scott's set was stunning, and he designed it around the water, so it was built to interact with everything."
Pask stresses that the Eugene O'Neill production sought to match the closeness of a Donmar production. "That became my mantra: making sure the scale of the room is big enough for the actors but small enough to maintain the intimacy. Having done shows in the Donmar, it's incredible to be in the presence of a great production in that space with a great cast. And that's what we wanted Nine to be: We wanted it to be an event, so when you walk in you feel like you're sharing a room with them." A room, and maybe a spritz.
Nine Lights
For a flashy Broadway show like Nine, the light plot is deceptively simple. But it's one that LD Brian MacDevitt puts to great use. For the most part, the lighting is no-color, white light that signifies the dreamlike state of Guido Contini as he looks back over his life and all of the women he's loved. "It is, by musical standards, a small light plot," MacDevitt concedes, "with a small number of moving lights, and I think the play lends itself to that. The director's idea lent itself to keeping things simple and using fewer things to their greatest effect — exploiting the dynamics of how bright something could get and how dark something could get, how many different colors you can get out of blue and white. It is really a big range."
When a splash of color is used, as in the Folies Bergères number, it is in striking contrast to the rest of the show. "It is his memory of seeing the Folies Bergères," says MacDevitt. "Also, it is what the music calls for; so many of the choices in the show are from the score. There really aren't any questions that can't be answered by listening to the score. If you are wondering which direction to go in, you just listen to the music and it tells you; it is very exciting." MacDevitt originally conceived the Folies number very differently, more in keeping with the monochromatic nature of the rest of the show, but after some convincing, reworked the number. "When I first cued it, I used just blues and whites, and after discussions with the team we added in some color, but it is really restrained. The color energized the number."
MacDevitt chooses his tools carefully and has been known to light musicals with little or no automated luminaires, such as Urinetown, in which he only used City Theatrical AutoYokes. For Nine, he played around with choices of fixtures and lamp types for the proper feel for each scene. "It was a show where at times I really welcomed the arc sources," says MacDevitt. "In this one we have [High End Systems] Studio Beams™ and I really feel that they are much more believable as daylight, more than other arc sources. Also, because it is cinematic, we used some HMI sources for this strong, nasty edge. To light people, I use incandescents, except at the end, when his world is falling apart, I bring in the HMIs. It is having sensitivity to the color temperature and controlling it emotionally, using it at times in the show when it will have the best effect. I never believe color-corrected HMI as incandescent, to bring across the heart of the person. If there is no heat coming out of the light it is almost otherworldly. In this case it worked well. It is not a show that takes place in nature, it takes place in somebody's subconscious. To go to that nasty place that the HMI can take you was perfect and then beautiful."
Working with MacDevitt for the first time was production electrician Michael LoBue. "It was an absolute treat," LoBue says. "It is a sizable show, and a little bit of a tricky hang with having to fit stuff inside the walls, but the production carpenter, Donnie Robinson, and I have worked together several times so it ended up painless."
LoBue got to deal with some of the trickier elements in the show, the biggest involving water. You may ask yourself, "Why is an electrician working with water?" He interfaced with effects specialist Greg Meeh of Jauchem & Meeh, who created the water effects for the show. LoBue explains, "There was a lot of time spent on the water effects, operating all the water. I programmed the show and it was just easier to know it first-hand; it was a basic non-dim situation with pumps so it was just easier for me to put it through the Obsession. I put everything for the water effects on subs and programmed it into the show and use the subs as inhibits. It is all controlled with the console go button now." Easy to do now, but there was some trial and error. "We doused the conductor, and the harp really bought it one night, so we fixed it so the water level only comes up so high."
LoBue details MacDevitt's automated luminaire selections. "He uses the Studio Beams for a lot of the backlight and he uses the AutoYoke units quite a bit, with ETC Source Fours lamped at 750W, and four Martin MAC 2000s. The AutoYokes light a lot of the show; the followspots are 10° ETC Source Fours with City Theatrical AutoYokes and are manually operated." Fourth Phase provided the lighting equipment. David Arch handled the programming of the automated luminaires. MacDevitt says he'd like to keep Arch a secret. "David Arch is a true associate designer," he explains. "He sees stuff from a different viewpoint and is fantastic. I almost want to whisper that, because I don't want anyone else to know about him."
MacDevitt also has praise for set designer Pask, with whom he worked previously on Urinetown. "We walked into the theatre when his set was being built, in the worklight, and everybody gasped. As a lighting designer you think, 'If it is that beautiful in worklight, I would really have to work to screw this up.'"
Sound for Picture
Jon Weston is apologizing for his work on Nine. "I know most of these articles are geared toward a problem and finding a solution, but I hate to say it: We didn't have any problems."
The fact is, Weston's work on the hit revival is as seamless and intimate as the production itself, which is just the way director David Leveaux wanted it. "In our initial production meeting it was clear that David and I had the same plan in mind: that everything be organic and emotional," he explains. "My desire was to not get in the way of that and not do anything that would not convey the emotion of what was happening onstage or in the music."
Weston thought initially there might be a problem adequately miking some of the cast, which includes Spanish-speaking Hollywood star Antonio Banderas. But "[costume designer] Victoria Mortimer and [hair and wig designer] David Bryan Brown were very accommodating. Antonio's hairstyle is such that we were able to get the mic in a great place and have it not be seen."
Weston was concerned about the fact that Scott Pask's design called for the pit to be covered, but that was easily dealt with. At one point he thought he'd have to supply a sound effect for the draining of the water that fills the center stage pool in the big second act number "The Grand Canal," but the noise from the 6" drain bounces off the tile of Pask's set and fills the theatre. "There's not one sound effect in the show," the designer notes proudly. "Not even a pre-show announcement."
It wasn't a total walk in the park. The Eugene O'Neill Theatre is not the best house for speaker placement. "Its design makes it hard to accommodate speakers where the sound designer feels they will serve the production best," Weston explains. He had originally specified his speaker of choice, EAW JF-60s, for the under-balcony position, but switched to the smaller, lightweight Meyer MM4s. "The left and right proscenium speakers just happen to fit in a natural reveal of plaster, and it couldn't have been better looking head on." The rest of the gear includes EAW 300es in the cluster and sides, Meyer USW subwoofers, delay truss of EAW JF-100s, d&b E3 stage monitors, Sennheiser SK-5012/EM3532s, an ATI 8MX stereo submixer, and Lexicon 480Ls, run on a Cadac J-Type console.
The show was originally set to play at the Virginia Theatre, but the venue was switched to the O'Neill. "The stage is deeper at the Virginia, and there's a whole different relationship with the show to the theatre," Weston says. "But I think the show plays better in the O'Neill than it would have at the Virginia, as far as connecting to the audience." A little speaker placement inconvenience is a small price to pay for a flawlessly intimate sound design.

Green party leader in pre-election Hyndburn visit
3:02pm Thursday 30th January 2014 in News
THE leader of the Green Party is set to visit to Hyndburn and Accrington today in the run up to May's Euro elections.
Natalie Bennett will visit Whalley Community Hydro at 11am and will be talked through the project by the organisers. Around £750,000 is currently being raised before building work can start which organisers hope will be in April.
The power house, which will generate electricity from the River Calder, will use the movement of the river's water to create electricity. The power will then be fed into the National Grid and generate money for other local renewable energy projects.
She will then move on the Prospects Environment Centre and One Planet shop in Accrington in the afternoon.

PFW associate editor Kevin Fishbain presents a running meter that indicates the Patriots' top five MVP candidates through their most recent game.
1. QB Tom Brady: Brady did not have to do much to collect his 100th career victory as the special teams and the defense dominated in the Patriots' victory over division-rival Miami. Brady was accurate on Monday night, completing 19-of-24 for 153 yards and a TD. He has nine TDs and just two INTs this season. But on Monday night, he was mainly a cheerleader but engineered scoring drives when he needed to.
2. WR Wes Welker: Brady's favorite target was not heard from until late in the second quarter Monday night, and then he got into a rhythm. Welker led the Patriots with eight catches for 70 yards, consistently burning Dolphins CB Benny Sapp. He leads the Pats this season with 26 receptions and is tied with Randy Moss for the team touchdown lead with three.
3. TE Aaron Hernandez: The rookie was quieter on Monday night, relative to his last two performances. He had five catches for 29 yards and one big play that was called back because of a holding call. People expected big numbers from Hernandez against a Dolphins team that struggles against tight ends, but Hernandez never got that big play he had gotten in each of his first three games. He still leads the Patriots (and all rookies) with 240 yards receiving.
4. FS Patrick Chung: Chung had an incredible game on Monday night, accounting for 21 Patriots points. He's a free safety, not a quarterback. Chung blocked a field-goal attempt that was picked up by CB Kyle Arrington and returned for a TD. He blocked a punt that the Patriots recovered, and they scored on the ensuing possession. And then he took one in himself, intercepting Dolphins QB Chad Henne and taking it 51 yards to the house. Chung is second on the team with 34 tackles this season.
5. RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis: Green-Ellis makes the list this week after a 16-76-1 output on Monday night. With Fred Taylor nursing a toe injury and Kevin Faulk on I.R., Green-Ellis has taken over as the primary back for Bill Belichick. And carries were not shared equally, either, with Green-Ellis collecting twice as many carries as Sammy Morris. Green-Ellis leads the team in rushing this season with 47-215-2.

I recently participated in a Nokia "first app promotion". I believe it is through a consultant.
The detail are here:
I met all the requirements, and published my first app before the deadline:
Because I have student account with dev center, i was not eligible to get the free 1 year $99 token. My student account expired during this (I was banking on getting the token to continue developing) and I have paid that out of pocket now.
He said he ran out of phones and the last group of 40 would get their phone directly from Nokia. I have not heard recieved anything, phone or even a tracking number. When asked, Rich says he has not gotten a response back, and now I'm not getting replies from Rich.
Any idea how I track down whoever it is who is in charge with this? I am not going to keep buggin Rich, he hasn't gotten any info either. Id like to find out if my phone has shipped, maybe it was stolen off my porch or something, or if I am even actually going to get a phone at all?

The Flames have hired former Leafs and Canucks general manager Brian Burke as the team's new president of hockey operations.
As a Tampa Bay Lightning fan, I've got a bit of a curiosity toward Flames GM Jay Feaster and his relationship with the Flames farm club in Abbotsford. While Jay had worked in the Hershey Bears...
Despite Calgary possibly being buyers at the trade deadline, it's not all bad news.
The second of a two-part look at Jay Feaster and what he brings to the table. This addresses some of the less direct qualities.
The Calgary Flames new GM Jay Feaster has an interesting history. This is a hard look at what it means for the franchise and the team.

Before the candidates hit the stage for Wednesday's prime-time debate, new poll numbers are adding fuel to the fire in the Virginia governor's race.
The two polls released Monday, one from NBC News and another from the Washington Post, tell similar stories. They put Democrat Terry McAuliffe up over Ken Cuccinelli, with female voters playing a big role in the results.
McAuliffe leads by five points in the NBC4/NBC News/Marist poll, 43 to 38. Among women, he leads by a whopping 18 points, while Cuccinelli only has an eight-point edge among male voters.
In the Washington Post poll, McAuliffe leads by eight points overall. It gives McAuliffe a 24-point lead among women, and Cuccinelli a still smaller 13-point lead among males.
University of Virginia political expert Larry Sabato says Cuccinelli has no choice but to be very aggressive in Wednesday's live debate, even though it could continue to cost him in the eyes of women.
"You have a relatively competitive race, but a steady and somewhat hardening McAuliffe lead. Cuccinelli might actually aggravate his already deadly problem with women by going hard negative, but what else is he to do?" Sabato said.
The Cuccinelli campaign is trying to find a silver lining in the results, noting that their candidate has far more enthusiastic supporters than McAuliffe.
Also, averaging the past six public polls, McAuliffe holds a smaller lead just around 4 percent. But results show Cuccinelli will also have to overcome significantly lower favorability among voters.
Watch the live gubernatorial debate Wednesday night at 7 p.m. on NBC29.

A large new bouldering area is being developed. Because so much rock is being found, cleaned and climbed, named and rated so rapidly, I'm not sure how to best organize this area. Is there a way to add things just so the info is not lost, but keep it private until we're sure that the info is correct and understandable?
Assuming that you can legally climb there, I would start by drawing topos with the names of the boulders and their problems. Also, make sure to layout well-thought-out trails. If the place becomes popular, and there isn't a good trail system, the place may get trashed by a pile of trails going all over the place.

The New England Revolution spent the entire match clearing the ball out of their own box. They had nothing going forward and the Montreal Impact just pummeled them, but the Canadians couldn't turn it into a goal. That proved costly because the Revs finally got a chance and they made it count when A.J. Soares rose up and snapped a header past Troy Perkins to earn the visitors a 1-0 win in the season finale for both teams.
To say that the Revs never showed any inclination to attack would be an understatement. They were completely devoid of options and dominated in the midfield as the Impact played fantastic. They were able to use the flanks to get crosses in and went right down the middle on a few occasions to turn the Revs defense inside out. New England was left to just clear their lines, which proved effective, but it always felt like a goal was coming for Montreal.
It wasn't to be, though. The Impact never made their dominance count and when the Revs got a free kick near the endline, Chris Tierney whipped in a great ball. It found Soares, whose header left Perkins no chance and handed the Revs a win that will at least send them into the offseason on a high note.

A gruesome discovery was made by teenagers at a popular hiking area in Suffield - a body was found sealed in a duffel bag Friday afternoon.
Teenagers made the discovery in the area of Quarry Road around 2 p.m. after smelling a rotting odor, police said. A man's body was dropped about 25 yards off the trail that police believe had been there for two or three days.
The body, which was wrapped in a black plastic bag and placed in a large duffel bag, was slightly decomposed, police said.
"It's a slightly decomposed body," said Suffield Police Chief Mike Manzi. "With the heat and the weather, I do not have the ability to make that determination at this time."
Police are aggressively trying to find out how it got here and the identity of the victim. The names and numbers of everyone who passes through are being taken as this investigation continues.
Suffield Police said the body appears to be that of while male between 25 to 30 years old. The body has been taken to the Chief Medical Examiner's office in Farmington for an autopsy.
Connecticut State Police Major Crimes is assisting Suffield police in their investigation, along with police from Massachusetts as the body was discovered not too far from the state line.
"I couldn't elaborate on the injuries. It's hard to tell," Manzi said. "It's wrapped up in a black garbage bag and that was placed into a blue canvas duffel bag."
Police told Eyewitness News that they don't believe the homicide did not take place in the area of Suffield.
The trail is a popular one, especially amongst kids, so police believe someone may have seen something.
If anyone has any information or may have seen something, they are asked to call the Suffield Police Department at 860-668-3870.
