June 2002
It's now four months after the closing ceremonies for the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, and the production team still speaks to each other as if we were all on an episode of Survivor. The usual post-production gripes of "not enough money, time, and space" paled in the face of snow, ice, sleet, and rain, and the largely Californian production team learned a new expression: "It's too cold to snow."
This project began nearly three years ago, when Don Mischer Productions was awarded the contract to produce the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2002 Winter Games by the Salt Lake City Organizing Committee (SLOC). Mischer assembled a production team of experienced and enthusiastic people, all of whom were acutely aware that this project was more than a job. It was this attitude by production, union crews, volunteers, vendors, and performers that made these events not only possible but also successful.
The contact binder was 2" thick and the hundreds of names of individuals, companies, and committees required an index from animal wrangler to Zamboni operator. Each listing was a key component in creativity and supply. The core creative staff reads like a who's who of television and live event production: Don Mischer the producer; Kenny Ortega, the director; Sarah Kawahara, the ice choreographer; Peter Minshall, the creative consultant; Steve Boyd, a designer who had worked with Don Mischer on the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta (and our expert on the history of the Olympics); Michael Curry, the puppet designer; Pete Menefee, the costume designer; Bob Dickinson, the lighting designer; myself, Jeremy Railton, production designer; and Richard Schreiber, principal art director.

This group, among other consultants, started meeting in 1999 to construct the creative aspects of the opening and closing ceremonies. We did this in adherence to distinct guidelines outlined by the Olympic Committee. It was decided early on that the most exciting way to present the ceremonies of the winter games would be on ice, so Willy Bietack was hired as the ice consultant.February 2001
On February 8, a year to the day prior to the opening ceremonies, we conducted tests in the Rice Eccles Stadium, the University of Utah's football stadium in Salt Lake City. Forty sq. ft. of ice were laid onto the field. Projection, fiber optics, paint, pyrotechnics, and lights were tested on a freezing night with light snow falling. Apart from the fact a 40' × 40' square of ice looked like a pocket handkerchief laid out on this massive field, the tests went well and inspired us to move forward with most of the plans.
I had called Technifex and asked Rock Hall if he would come onboard as technical and effects support. We were already discussing the use of fiber optics, ice cars, ice bridges, and fog machines, and Technifex had the technology not only to design the systems, but also to produce a tough, all-weather product.
Scott Givens, the managing director, creative group, had been engaged earlier by the SLOC to be responsible for the look of the games. The Medals Plaza, all the Olympic venues, and the appearance of the stadium itself fell under his watchful eye. Christa Bartels and John Sadler were engaged to build and design the props and costume structures. As the months passed, their scope grew to encompass organizing the volunteers, running rehearsal schedules, and supervising the show flow backstage. By the time Wet Designs was awarded the contract by the SLOC to design the cauldron, the design team was in place.August 2001
Richard Schreiber had completed the drafting of the stadium, Bob Dickinson had finished the lighting plot, and Pete Menefee had designed most of the costumes. Beautiful costume sketches for the opening number, "The Fire Within," began arriving from Peter Minsall in Trinidad. Peter is well known for his brilliantly conceived and constructed works on huge carnival structures, and now three Olympic ceremonies.
As a production designer, I am always asked about the challenges of the design process, the inspirations and the intent. I am usually at a loss, as the initial stages for me are intuition, experience, emotions and the ability to be able to thrust myself forward to the moments of performance in a sort of 3D mind's-eye CGI. That is the easy part. The difficult part is the manifestation. It all begins with a dream that turns into a script, which then evolves into a sketch, which then transforms into a plan; that becomes a reality to support the performers, providing them with the ultimate place to shine.November 2001
The producers and their production staff moved to Salt Lake City, followed closely by EDC's Richard Schreiber, for the initial laying of the ice and installation of the stage.
The field at Rice Eccles Stadium was leveled, and the trenches for power, glycol, and liquid nitrogen were cut into the field. Asphalt was laid over the entire area. An early 2" of snow fell before Thanksgiving, giving everyone a taste of things to come — shoveling snow before you can get to work. The ice borders were laid and filled with sand, the glycol pipes were laid in the sand and frozen. Next, the fiber-optic cables were laid in and frozen with water. After that, the ice was painted with opaque paint as a base for the final ice coating.December 2001
The stages and the ice surround arrived. The surround (arriving from Los Angeles in 20 semi trailers) was built by Global Entertainment Industries and supervised by Global's owner, Chris Hyde. The staging was engineered to accommodate lighting, fog and pyrotechnics, housed within. It was engineered by Global in such a way that the installation could be completed in five days. Measuring 30,000 sq. ft., we think this is one of the largest continuous stages ever built (any challengers?).
The bleachers and main stage for the athletes, orchestra, and choir were installed by SGA Production Staging with many engineering iterations. The challenge was to accommodate enough room for an as-yet-undisclosed number of athletes, to support the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and to provide enough elbow room for the Utah Symphony Orchestra, while also allowing the maximum amount of circulation space beneath and enough room to store band risers and props during the show. All engineering was created to withstand 70mph winds.
By the time I moved to Salt Lake City on December 14, the stadium was ready for rehearsals, both on ice and land. It was snowing regularly by this time, so snow shoveling in the morning replaced the Stairmaster. Rehearsals for 1,000 children, 500 skaters, and 800 dancers were the order of the day. Field work, ice making, and continued installation of the set was done in the mornings. Since most of the ensemble was still in school, rehearsals started after school and went on into the night. The California crew quickly learned of the value of hand and foot warmers.
Near the end of December, the beautiful ice puppets (buffalo, deer, elk, rattlesnakes, and all other animals appearing in "The Land of Enchantment") arrived. Designed by Michael Curry, the puppets were built and tested in his studio located in St. Helens, OR. Also, the last of Peter's costumes for "The Fire Within" — wind, trees, ice shards, and ice warriors — arrived from Trinidad.
By Christmas, we were working sometimes 20-hour days, seven days a week, and had learned four important lessons: paint does not dry under 30°, linoleum snaps at freezing point, anything dark left on the ice absorbs the heat and melts the ice, creating potholes, and screw heads in plywood make little studs of ice. Through it all, Rosemary Schreiber, Richard's wife, who was in charge of production catering, was making 130 gallons of hot chocolate per day.January 2002
The arrival of the new also brought the arrival of the cauldron, built by a Utah-based company, Arrow Development, with a special heat-resistant glass made by Technical Glass Products of Seattle. It arrived in three pieces, and the 75'-tall tower took five days to erect and test. Not only did it have a propane fire system, but because the cauldron itself was made of glass, it needed a water cooling system and a means of keeping the glass clear so audiences could witness the "fire within."
There were also unanticipated challenges. The moment the cauldron was up, pigeons landed on it, thinking it a fine vantage point. Of all the pressures Wet Design's Jim Dole had to face, this one was not anticipated. He hurriedly devised a screen to stop the bird droppings from polluting the water system, a problem we all noted would not exist after the cauldron was lit. Roasted squab, anyone?
Kish Rigging arrived to hang and mount the scaffold for lighting in mid-January. Ed Kish had been a consultant from the very beginning and had been through many exercises in trying to devise flying systems and overhead cables to support lighting instruments over the field. The riggers ringed the outside perimeter of the stadium with trusses.
Bob Dickinson arrived with his team headed by Dan Reed. The predominantly Vari*Lite rig included Vari*Lite® VL2416™ wash luminaires, 238 VL5Arc™ lights, VL5™ wash luminaires, and 54 VL6™, 52 VL6C™, and 126 VL7™ spot luminaires. There were two Virtuoso consoles, one run by Laura Frank to concentrate on the VL2416s, and the other run by Christian Hibbard, to cover the rest. Additional equipment was supplied by Fourth Phase and Xenotech.
Each light was then covered with a plastic bag for weather protection until it was used. The problems of theatrically lighting a stadium are as big as the stadium itself. Every vantage point must be utilized without blocking sightlines. It is theatre in the round, and key lights are 300' away. [For more on Dickinson's lighting, see the May issue of Lighting Dimensions.]
Audio also loaded in about this time; the stacks were placed in their pre-appointed positions and the final audio mix by studio audio designer Patrick Baltzell could only be done when an audience filled the seats for the first time, four days before showtime.
Meanwhile, the moveable fire drum platforms for the five Native American tribes had arrived. Constructed by Technifex, they lived up to all of our expectations. A limit switch had to be installed to keep the speed down on the circular all-terrain vehicles that housed batteries and pyrotechnics — not to mention the poor cold driver, who had 180° visibility through aluminum bars and gray Textaline. These platforms were able to carry, with ease, a circle of Native American drummers; they worked so well that we repurposed them for the closing ceremonies.
The two bridges that the athletes used to cross the ice and make their way around the ice to their seats were huge and heavy, and proved to be troublesome. The north stage bridge was retrofitted by Technifex, which had a huge task. A change in the temperature altered the ice level. Along with this hindrance, the wheels were not riding on the ice; we think the frame was bent by its own weight as it was forklifted from the truck.
Rehearsals had started to become the focus of everyone's attention, and the technical staff took a back seat vying for the ice and crew time. The days seemed too long, yet not long enough. Still, a work rhythm had been established, and the arrival of the stage managers helped all of the departments. During this period, I was able to start designing the scenic elements for closing ceremonies. I hung at Kenny Ortega's side, doing sketches and renderings as each performer was signed or each act was put in place.
A late addition to the opening ceremonies was a huge 120' circular quilt made of Poly Sheer. George & Goldberg, a well-known Southland scenic shop that had already delivered the trains for the hoedown, took on the task of such last-minute additions.

Steve Boyd had designed the lantern of "The Fire Within" and supervised its production. Now, his hands were full designing the placards and card stunts, assembling and editing the program, and kindly doing any other design production jobs, from logos to laminates for anyone (including myself) who could use his talents. In week or two, his life would revolve around seating charts, counting and numbering all the seats, as well as designing, packaging, and organizing the audience kit bags. He personally supervised 700 volunteers and the placement of every bag, which took five weeks to fulfill. One wrong package or one misplaced kit would ruin the card stunt.
The prop department was flying. Somehow, everything had landed in their court. In the course of a day, Christa and John were responsible for rehearsal preparation, running all the props and scenery, repairing any damages and designing/creating new props as fresh ideas evolved (Richard Schreiber and I never made a final decision on materials until we had consulted either Christa or John). They organized all of the prop volunteers who painted, carried, pushed, packed, and manipulated. For example, it took 100 people to operate the trains, and 11 people just to man the buffalo. Their volunteers were easily in the hundreds every day.
Every department I turned to was strong, creative, hardworking, and positive. I was in heaven. Don Mischer's choices for his team were perfect. There were no weak links.
As January 2002 came to a close, 30 cameras arrived (covered in plastic) and a pop-up camera was placed in the deck for the Olympic flag. Ron de Moreas was to be the director of the world feed. He would call every shot, both of narrative and spectacle, which would translate the ceremony, drama, and experience to the rest of the world. Only 60,000 people would see it live.February 2002
All the conversations overheard among the staff revolved around numbers. A cast of 5,000…crews of volunteers of 3,000…10,000 sandwiches…20 pages of revisions…hundreds of thousands of dollars…10,000 lights…20,000 costumes… ⅔ of the planet…EIGHT DAYS LEFT!
The stage was starting to look shabby after two months of use. Steel wagon wheels, ice skates, cloggers, snow shovels, and horse and oxen urine and manure made it very clear that the stage had to be painted. We were going through freezing nights of 2° and days of 10°.
Paint froze and never dried. We found an epoxy-based paint that needed chemistry to harden, rather than heat. At ten o'clock one Saturday night, Richard Schreiber and I found ourselves with a team of 20 volunteers spreading paint that had the consistency of grease. All the volunteers were tireless and amazing, a credit to the Salt Lake City community.

The eight days before the show were devoted to run-throughs and put-togethers. Land performers, ice performers, pyrotechnics props and costumes, cannon shots, wagon trains, the choir, and the orchestra were all assembled. Lighting could only be programmed at night after they had seen the run-throughs. They would work all night until the show day. Each night would develop more color separation, definition, and subtlety of hue, and, of course, new light cues.
The rush was on. People would show up with bandaged ankles and crutches — wrists and arms bandaged in slings as a result of injuries from falling on the ice. I was rushing around, not paying close attention and cut my head on a camera arm. The stage had officially been anointed by blood, sweat, and tears.
Security had become very tight. Even the sandwich truck that brought 3,000 sandwiches for every meal had a federal marshal escort. No one was particularly sad when a certain product that comes in a Mylar package was banned because the scanners couldn't read the contents.
At a dress rehearsal, the wind picked up and as the buffalo left the ice, a strong gust took the buffalo's head and twisted the steel support. The 15'-tall masterpiece slowly fell forward, looking exactly like a dying buffalo. Luckily, the prop department had it repaired and working perfectly in one day (and night).

Balloons provided by Zimmer Industries Zero G were to be one of the secret surprise elements for the opening ceremonies. Helium inflated five 25'-tall giants that could lift a man into the air for as high as the tether would allow. The balloons were to rise and daredevil athletes, representing winter sports, would perform a surprise drop from a specially constructed gondola. The balloons were extremely wind-sensitive and required many late-night rehearsals. Three nights before opening, a wind storm dashed the balloons against a chain-link fence, severely damaging three of them. They would have to be repaired and, somehow, worked into the closing ceremonies.
Finally, on February 8, the opening ceremonies officially heralded the 2002 Winter Games. The show was a success, the weather held, and there were no disasters. My favorite moment was a unique camera shot that had been prepared by NBC. It was the view of earth from space, which moved in one continuous shot to the ice in the stadium, pinpointing one particular event on the planet that was a clear example of what humans can do when brought together in the spirit of creativity, stamina, and love.
But our work was only half done. The next day we were all back at work for the closing ceremonies. Rehearsals, pre-records, new props, new costumes, and the new costume designer, David Cardona, who was designing in Los Angeles, and being fed sizes, numbers, and concepts via phone and fax.
The balloons returned, fully repaired. The weather had cleared and we were able to repaint the stage with the original textured paint. The drum platforms were pushed into the parking lot to be redressed for the American musical number, each one representing a specific genre of music. These scenic elements were constructed by Technifex and skinned with a new holographic technique developed by Trevor Goss of Light Emitting Designs. I found myself sweating in the sunlight, attaching resin icicles to the handrails. The irony never escaped me.
We tested the blacklight paint and ordered 100 gallons to be thrown, sprayed, and poured on the ice for the finale. As the athletes were to be invited onto the field, their safety was important. At first, we were going to throw walnut shells, which are usually sold as a texture in paint to provide a non-slip surface, but the ice makers told us that the shells would stain the ice. As the ice had to last for the Para Olympics in March, we took no chances. Silicone sand was tested and laid out by hand during the show, just before the athletes walked on the ice.
The two dinosaur heads arrived from Curry Designs. These must be the biggest puppets ever made, weighing in at only 120lbs, 18' long, made of cast neoprene. They fit over the cab of a man lift. The puppeteers were inside the head as the machine operator, Michael Curry, once again proved himself a master designer by delivering a beautiful and practical product.

Before we knew it, it was February 24. The closing ceremonies went off without a hitch, our work was done, and it was still very, very cold. We all wanted to see the green grass of spring.June 2002
I have two enduring memories of this experience. My worst memory was the first night we saw the stage on camera with partially focused light. Every shot of the stage revealed a dirty, untidy pattern of plywood joints. The stage had just been painted, so that was not the problem. During the day, everything looked fine. The next night we discovered the problem: the steel support underneath the wood was acting as a speedy conductor. It would freeze before the plywood and highlight the joints with a 2"-wide band of ice as the stage warmed up. The steel would warm up faster, creating a band of water on a frosted deck. The solution was to stop the deck from ever freezing by applying a saline solution. This acted as a wet down and eventually improved the look of the stage by reflecting all the edge lights, adding a magical look we had never planned.
One of my favorite memories came from that Saturday night before the opening ceremony, when we repainted the stage. Half of the volunteers were women and the whole crew was painting with the efficiency of scenic artist professionals. As I was painting, I turned toward an attractive 35-year-old and jokingly asked her if she had a life. She was married with three kids, aged three to 14, she had a job as a medical assistant, and just wanted the experience of participating in the Winter Games. At that point, all thoughts and gripes about grand production designers painting stage floors on Sunday morning in 5° weather went flying from my head. The job was finally completed at 2am, and the volunteers asked if they could do anything else.

That was the only blemish for Wade, who hit a grand slam and drove in seven runs in the Vikings' 23-1, five-inning area victory at Curry High School.
Wade finished 2 for 3 with a double, three runs and three stolen bases to go along with his home run and seven RBIs.
That was more than enough offense for pitcher Bailey Tidwell who allowed one unearned run on one hit and three walks. Tidwell gave up the hit with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Walker (12-17 overall, 2-2 in Class 5A, Area 12) scored two runs in each of the first two innings before batting around nearly twice in a 12-run third inning. The Vikings scored seven runs more in the fourth inning.
Walker won its opener over Curry 10-0 at home on Tuesday.
On Thursday, Wade wasn't the only one to put up statistics for Walker.
John Michael Reed was 1 for 1 with two runs, two stolen bases and three RBIs, Bryant Atkins was 2 for 4 with a stolen base, three runs and an RBI, Jackson Holliday was 1 for 1 with two runs and an RBI, Baylee Royster was 1 for 1 with a run and an RBI, Chandler Crump was 1 for 2 with a run and Tidwell was 1 for 2 with an RBI.
Walker also took advantage of 10 walks and eight hit batters.
Tyler Woodley had Curry's hit.
Jarrod Owens took the loss on the mound.
The Vikings host both Sumiton Christian and Winfield at Valley Park on Saturday.
Walker plays Sumiton Christian at 11 a.m., Sumiton Christian plays Winfield at 1 and Walker plays Winfield at 3 p.m.
With Thursday's win, Walker is in good position to earn a playoff berth.
The Vikings need one win over Hayden next week to clinch the No. 2 spot in the area behind Mortimer Jordan, which is 4-0 in area play.
Walker hosts Hayden on Tuesday and plays a double header at Hayden on Thursday.
Sumiton Christian 17, Parrish 2, five inn.
Both Spencer Black and Austin Bice drove in four runs and the Sumiton Christian Eagles improved to 5-1 in 1A, Area 10 play with a 17-2 win at Parrish on Thursday.
Bice earned the win, allowing one hit and striking out three in three innings. Grant Shepard went the final two innings, allowing four hits and three walks while striking out two.
Black finished 2 for 3 at the plate with two runs and four RBIs, Bice was 2 for 4 with a run and four RBIs and Tristan Weldon had a triple and a run.
Sumiton Christian (9-7) plays a pair of games at Walker on Saturday. The Eagles face the Vikings at 11 a.m. and follow with a game against Winfield.
Sumiton Christian won its junior high game, beating Maddox's seventh-grade team 6-2.
For the Eagles, Chandler Overton and Jarrett McClain combined to throw a one-hitter.
Cooper Boyd, Overton, McClain and Peyton Alexander each had hits for the Eagles.
Cordova splits with Hamilton
Hamilton earned a series win over Cordova after splitting a double header at Cordova High School on Thursday.
Cordova lost the series opener to the Aggies on the road Tuesday. The Blue Devils bounced back with a 4-3 win in Thursday's opener before dropping an 8-7 decision in the tie-breaker game.
In the opener, Clark Chance threw a complete game, allowing six hits and two walks while striking out two.
Hunter Gilmore delivered the game-winning hit, a three-run double, in the fifth inning to put Cordova ahead. Taylor Trotter led the team at the plate, going 3 for 3. Cam Honeycutt was 2 for 4.
In the second game, Cordova (14-8, 3-1) fell behind 3-0 after the first inning, but notched the score at 3-3 in the second.
The Blue Devils led 7-4 after a three-run fourth, but the Aggies scored two in the bottom of the fourth to cut the gap to 7-6. Hamilton added single runs in the sixth and seventh to earn the win.
For Cordova, Taylor Trotter was 3 for 5 with an RBI, Logan Shumate was 2 for 3 with an RBI, Jed Cordell had a two-run double, Garrett Woods had an RBI triple and Jeffre Wingo added an RBI single..
Cordova plays Cleveland and Leeds on Saturday.

The Valor was an older ship, but it had everything we needed. A couple more hot tubs would be nice.
The buffet food was just okay. Dinner in the main dining room was good. The first night was a little rushed but everyone was getting it together on that first night. We did the Chef's table which was AMAZING. The chef explained each cruise they get lots of new employees so now I understand why that first night is a little more hectic.
The shows with the singers and dancers were great. It would be nice if they were featured in more shows. Comedy club was good late night entertainment and the piano bar with Seth was a great time. Adult piano after 11 was hilarious.

Michelle Williams attempted to vamp up her style for the punk themed 2013 Met Gala on Monday evening in New York City.
I say attempt because even with the vampy makeup and punk rock hairdo, I still see sweet innocent Michelle underneath.
Keeping to her trademark classic style, she donned a black strapless Saint Laurent gown with a high-low hemline, with black T-strap Saint Laurent pumps giving the look a ladylike finish.
Fred Leighton jewels, which included a diamond tiara, and an Olympia Le-Tan book clutch for a quirky finish completed her look.
Should Michelle have pushed the punk element further? A pair of studded cuffs or studded Giuseppe Zanotti pumps perhaps?

CATEGORIES MoviesWe've got an exclusive look at Meryl Streep's Oscar-winning role in "The Iron Lady." Plus, a full breakdown on all the home entertainment releases for the week -- whether you're DVD or Blu-ray, streaming or rental. Moviefone's Pick of the Week "Into the Abyss" What's It About? Werner Herzog turns his documentary lens onto Conroe, Texas, examining a triple homicide case and the tragic fallout that affected everyone involved. See It Because: "Abyss" doesn't try to change any legislation regarding the death penalty; Herzog -- who is against capital punishment -- simply tries to understand the issue from all perspectives. What follows is a tragic, but ultimately thought-provoking film. New on DVD & Blu-ray "The Iron Lady" What's It About?The Margaret Thatcher biopic may have been met with divisive reviews, but you should find out for yourself if the movie truly deserved to end Meryl's unlucky losing streak at the Oscars. See It or Skip It: See it.
Also Available on Redbox DVD & Blu-ray | Amazon Instant Video "The Darkest Hour" What's It About?Young pretty people fight aliens that take the form of clouds of dust, in one of the stupidest movies made in a long time (and that's saying something). See It or Skip It: Skip it. Also Available on Redbox DVD & Blu-ray | Amazon Instant Video
"Astonishing X-Men: Dangerous" What's It About?Part two of Joss Whedon's acclaimed storyline starring Marvel's mutants, gets adapted as a motion comic -- as in animating the panels of the comic book itself; it's not always the cleanest-looking effect, but it's still a worthy experiment for superhero entertainment. See It or Skip It: See it, if you're already a comic-book geek.
"Dorothy and The Witches of Oz" What's It About?A modern-day reworking of the "Oz" story featuring Christopher Lloyd, Lance Henriksen and "LOTR's" Sean Astin and Billy Boyd could make for some B-movie fun, but this project is just too damn cheap-looking. See It or Skip It: Skip it.
New on Amazon Instant Video "The Trip" New on Redbox "The Descendants" DVD & Blu-ray
New to Blu-ray George Melies's "A Trip to the Moon"
"A Streetcar Named Desire" 60th Anniversary
"A Hollis Frampton Odyssey" Criterion Collection
Romances galore! "Bounce" "Don Juan DeMarco" "Kate & Leopold" The Director's Cut "The Truth About Cats & Dogs"

(POOL/CNN) – There were no "Blurred Lines" to read between during Thicke's Twitter question and answer session on Tuesday.
People were pretty blunt with the singer, asking him about his marriage and his public attempt to win his estranged wife, actress Paula Patton, back.
For example, one person tweeted, "Do you think Tim Howard can save your marriage?" The tweet referred to the Team USA goalie's performance in the 2-1 World Cup loss to Belgium.
Thicke tweeted, "I'm a big boy, I can handle it" during the session.
The conversation was in partnership with VH1 and used the hashtag #AskThicke.

HPCA Senior's Pep Rally Shirt by David Loy - 7 months ago
"We ordered 55 Senior Shirts for our school's spirit week and Pep Rally. These are some shots I took during the Pep Rally itself."
Green may not be the new black, but it's a great color for festive custom t-shirts from CustomInk! Take a look at the customer photos below to get some ideas for your next order of family reunion t-shirts, military t-shirts, and more - you can even design St. Patricks Day shirts for you or your group! With our free shipping and easy-to-use online design lab, CustomInk is the place to go for green t-shirts!
"We ordered 55 Senior Shirts for our school's spirit week and Pep Rally. These are some shots I took during the Pep Rally itself."
"This was our 4th annual Beer Olympics. It is always one of everyone's favorite days of this year. Due to hectic schedules we had to hold it in November instead of the summer... so we got hoodies instead of t-shirts! CustomInk was awesome throughout the whole design process. The somewhat complicated order was accurate and delivered exactly as ordered. These amazingly colorful hoodies added even more fun to the day! They were a huge hit and everyone loved them. "
"This is picture of the National Family Affair Event held in Savannah, GA from 26-29 July 2013. CustomInk worked so well with me in order for the T-Shirts to arrive on time for the event. Each color stands for a different state in attendance at the weekend event. The people I worked with at CustomInk were all outstanding. Thanks CustomInk. I'm looking forward to our 2015 event. "
"We ordered our team shirts through Custom Ink for the Chick-fil-a Fall Stampede, which is a great event that raises money for the Children's Cancer Center in Tampa, Fla. The event was a huge success and Custom Ink was an amazing company to do business with! "
"Last year was our first year participating in Cycle for Survival. Our Team participated in two cities (DC and NY) and our CustomInk shirts really helped us stand out. With the help of customer service I created these great t-shirts for my team and our supporters. Because of the great success we had fundraising last year we will be participating and hopefully raising more money this year to fight rare cancers. With a personal loss it's nice to commemorate her memory with these shirts as well as raise awareness and money for a cause she would be proud of. We look forward to ordering a new batch of shirts for this years race and showing our pride!"
"Achieving our goals is a measurement identified by the colors of red, yellow, and green. Green is an indication that all goals were met for the team. We celebrate each time we achieve our goals by wearing our Green is How we Roll shirts. Why dice you ask? We all live in Vegas of course, so no other symbol would do!"
"Here are just three of the 168 CustomInk T-shirts we ordered for our Advanced Technology & Engineering Volunteer Event. We had our employees spread across our area at eight different locations lending hands to agencies in need. The agencies included: Habitat for Humanity, King's Harvest Food Kitchen, American Red Cross, Quad City Botanical Center, Boy's & Girl's Club, United Township High School, Arrowhead Ranch and Family Resources. Everyone involved had an amazing time, and I know that I, as the organizer, was absolutely thrilled with the quality, timeliness and overall experience that I had with CustomInk!"
"OAKWOOD SCHOOL CELEBRATES 15 YEARS Oakwood School, located at 105 John Wilson Way in the south end of Morgan Hill, celebrated their 15 Year birthday in style on Monday, September 16. The entire student body and staff gathered for a picture and all were wearing their grade level spirit shirts. Then, after a rousing Happy Birthday sing a long and a school wide wave, everyone enjoyed cupcakes and ice cream while some students continued with dancing. Fifteen years ago the school opened in portable buildings while the permanent buildings were under construction. Since then, the school has grown and provides a more intentional education for students from pre-school through high school. Oakwood is Morgan Hill's independent, non-sectarian, college-preparatory school. The school has a diverse community, thriving on an expansive campus and provides a home for an extended family of learners. Oakwood students also kicked off their Fund Run fundraiser which will culminate on September 27. Students will be soliciting donations and then participate in running laps around a track, surviving an obstacle course and then celebrating with a family social BBQ. If you would like more information about Oakwood School and their events please visit their website at pictureoakwood.com or call 408 782-7177 Working with CustomInk has been GREAT!!! Every employee of CustomInk has been extremely helpful and accommodating. They went out of their way to get us additional shirts when we needed them and their service is very speedy and great quality. Thank you CUSTOMINK! Oakwood looks GREAT in your shirts!"
"This was outside the gates of Tucker prison we had just finished a bike rodeo for the inmates we had a blast. The inmates loved it. Everyone loved the shirts. Customink done the most wondennrful job of helping me with my shirts and making sure i got my shirts on time so they helped me make this event a success. "
"We wanted to make a fun way to say that we were from Pittsburgh, PA while vacationing in Disney World in Florida! So we came up with the 'Yinzers' family vacation shirt! And sure enough, everywhere we went with them on, Pittsburghers were laughing and enjoying the t-shirt that we made... even after the vacation people ask where we got the shirts! I tell them that they were custom made on CustomInk.com... I might even make a few more for friends who want them! Working with CustomInk was a breeze!"

Officials in Moultrie and Colquitt County are looking for ways to combine services to save money.
At a recent joint city-county meeting officials discussed areas where cooperation between the two governments could be possible. Elections, healthcare, waste services, and law enforcement were among the services discussed. County officials say the idea is just good business.
"It makes business sense, it makes sense for the community. We're all dealing with a finite set of resources and we do a lot of the same type of things and it just makes sense for us all to work together as much as we can to try to maximize the resources we have to work with," said County Administrator Mike Stewart.
City and County officials will have another meeting at a later date to discuss other suggestions.

Fighting BikeRadar.com
Bike radar forum was established in place of several well loved mountain bike forums. All these forums had happy communities and friendly atmosphere.Now bike radar is a congested open forum with no sense of community. Also we have been mixed with road bikers and commuters for money saving reasons. The only reason for the merge is to make money as they're will high numbers of people as it is a big forum, so they can charge more for advertising. Future publishing is just trying to take advantage. The site has no freedom links to another forum www.ukmb.org.uk has been blocked, as people are moving away from Bike radar. To add to this the site is layed out terribly. Sign the petition and tell your friends.

Nobody else has a chance, they said.
You might as well gift-wrap the American League pennant and have two cards ready: one for the Boston Red Sox, another for the New York Yankees, they said.
Except in late September, somehow the Red Sox fell off the Christmas list. And now in early August, the Yankees are gone, too. You can spend all the money you like, but there are some things you just can't buy, among them love and the American League flag. Shoot, this year you couldn't even buy a trip to the Championship Series.
It was a close-run thing, though.
In the fourth inning of the decisive Game 5, the Yankees loaded the bases against Detroit starter Doug Fister with just one out. In the first, the Tigers had taken a lightning-quick 2-0 lead when both Don Kelly and Delmon Young homered off Iván Nova (who departed after two frames with a minor injury). But it was still 2-0 in the fourth when the Yankees jammed the sacks, with the caveat that maybe they shouldn't have jammed them.
Alex Rodríguez led off with a walk, and moved to second on second on Nick Swisher's one-out single. Jorge Posada, continuing his fine swan song, drove another single up the middle. In some alternate dimensions, Alex Rodriguez waved around third base; in some of those he was out on a thrilling play at the plate, and in some he was safe. In this particular dimension, he was held at third and the bases were loaded.
And Fister took over from there, retiring Russ Martin on an infield fly and Brett Gardner on a pop foul.
Meanwhile, Nova's early exit brought on a parade of pinstriped firemen. First Phil Hughes, then Boone Logan Boone, then big CC Sabathia, who threw 106 pitches in his Game 3 start just three nights ago. And in his first inning, the fifth, Sabathia gave up a leadoff double to Austin Jackson. He recovered to strike out both Kelly and Young -- Nova's tormenters in the opening frame -- but after an intentional walk to Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martínez plated Jackson with a shot up the middle. (Will they never learn?)
Sabathia got out of the inning, and his successors -- Rafael Soriano, Dave Robertson and Mariano Rivera, right on schedule -- held the Tigers scoreless the rest of the way.
It just wasn't quite enough. Leyland pulled Fister after only five innings (but 92 pitches), and Max Scherzer -- throwing 96 rather than his customary 93 -- pitched a scoreless sixth. Scherzer got lifted for Joaquin Benoit in the seventh, and Benoit was shaky, issuing a couple of walks, including one with the bases loaded. But he escaped the inning by striking out Nick Swisher, then came back and pitched a scoreless eighth, working around Gardner's two-out single.
Which brought everyone to the ninth inning, and José Valverde.
Papa Grande had 49 chances to save games during the regular season, and saved all 49 of them. He'd recorded saves in Games 2 and 3 of this series, though neither were easy.
Sometimes history's a pretty good guide.
MVP candidate Curtis Granderson led off the ninth, and lifted an easy fly to right field.
MVP candidate Robinson Canó batted next, and lined out to center field.
Hall of Fame candidate Alex Rodriguez batted next and, with two strikes already, Valverde threw a fastball right past him.*
* Rodriguez also struck out in a huge spot in the seventh inning. Is there any doubt about what's going to be stuck in the collective craw of the Yankees fans all through the cold Northeast winter?
The Yankees outscored the Tigers 28-17 in their Division Series. But if there was ever a time when run differential was irrelevant, it's exactly right now.

Paroline v. United States
What causal relationship must exist between a defendant's conduct and a victim's harm for the victim to recover restitution in a child pornography case under 18 U.S.C § 2259?
Doyle Paroline was convicted of possessing 150 to 300 images of minors being sexually abused, including two images of Respondent "Amy" being abused by her uncle at the age of eight or nine years old. The Supreme Court will settle a circuit split over the required causal relationship between a defendant's possession and a victim's harm in order for the victim to recover full restitution under 18 U.S.C § 2259. Paroline argues that a victim's damages must be proximately caused by the defendant's conduct because any other result would turn child exploitation restitution proceedings into a procedural nightmare. Amy argues that § 2259 does not require proximate causation for a victim to be entitled to full damages; otherwise, the victims of child abuse would bear the burden of collecting tiny shares of restitution from several defendants and might never receive full recovery. The Court's ruling will impact the rights of exploited children and the procedural rights afforded to those charged with possessing child pornography.
The Fifth Circuit held, contrary to the holdings of every other circuit considering the question, that there was no requirement that restitution be limited to losses proximately caused by the defendant's criminal acts and that the defendant is responsible for restitution for all losses suffered by the victim regardless of whether the defendant's criminal acts proximately caused the loss and the victim's losses occurred prior to the defendant's indictment and arrest.
- In determining restitution in child pornography cases pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2259(b)(3), is the award of restitution limited to losses proximately caused by the defendant's criminal actions or may a defendant be required to pay restitution for all losses, regardless of whether his criminal acts proximately caused the loss?
- Whether the Government is correct in its argument that authorizing $3.4 million in restitution against a defendant to a victim of child pornography who has never had contact with the defendant may violate the Eighth Amendment's ban on excessive fines in the absence of a proximate cause requirement in the setting of the amount of restitution assessed against that defendant.
Respondent, a young adult under the pseudonym "Amy," was sexually abused by her uncle when she was eight or nine years old. See In re Amy, 591 F.3d 792, 794 (5th Cir. 2009). Amy's uncle took a number of photographs depicting her in sexually abusive poses, captured his acts on film, and distributed the materials over the Internet.

Live Or…..Posted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
I've noted this before, and I've been surprised that more people don't agree with me: some pieces are more vivid in live performance, others work better on recording. I don't see this as a positive or a negative either way, just as a fact. I always decide at the outset when a piece I am working on will be better served in one medium than the other.
I decided early on that Singing silver, with its mix of amplified and acoustic elements, would fare a bit better on recording than live, and composed it accordingly. Not to say it can't be performed live – after all, I just performed it — but the intimacy of a recording will bring all of the details home in a way that is very difficult to match on stage. I've scheduled two more performances of the piece, but its ultimate destiny is on a set of speakers.
Why, if I'm planning to have a piece exist primarily through recording, do I schedule live performances? Because live performances give me the opportunity to reach a complete understanding of the piece, without which a recording is bound to sound a bit sterile. I wish I could explain it more clearly than that, but I don't think I can, at least not yet.
Ironically, the pieces of mine that get the most live performances are often the ones that fare better on recording. Performers hear a recording of something that sounds fantastic and decide to program it, ending up a bit disappointed by the results on stage. Conversely, I have pieces that don't get performed much even though they are really killer in a live performance, simply because people can't fully grasp their impact through sample recordings. I'm having a harder and harder time finding people who will actually look at a score and make decisions about how a piece is going to sound. Everyone seems to want a recording, and nobody is giving enough attention to the disparity between the experience of listening to a recording and the experience of attending a concert.

Rapunzel's Frying Pan Necklace
It's a good thing Rapunzel brought her trusty frying pan with her when she left the tower. She used it to protect herself in all kinds of situations. A miniaturized version of Rapunzel's lucky pan, this pendant is a pretty way to accessorize any outfit. Little princesses can personalize this charming necklace with glistening jewels and colorful ribbons.
You'll need:
- Lid from a baby food jar (or similar sized jar)
- Black tissue paper
- Mod-Podge
- Black chenille stem
- Hot glue
- 4 pieces yellow yarn, each 2-inches long
- 2 pieces of thin ribbon, each 2-inches long
- Paintbrush
- Glittery jewel decal
1. Spread a thin layer of Mod-Podge over the top of the baby food lid. Place torn pieces of black tissue paper onto Mod-Podge and let dry. Continue to layer the Mod-Podge and tissue paper until the entire lid is covered, inside and out. Be sure to allow each layer to dry (approximately 15 minutes) before adding the next.
2. When the lid is covered in black tissue and completely dry, it's time to add the handle. Cut a chenille stem in half and then fold one half into a loop. Twist the ends together and glue onto the back of the pan.
3. Use a dot of hot glue to add a jewel decal to the center of the pan.
4. To make the chain, start by tying the yellow yarn and two pieces of ribbon together. Use the yarn and ribbons to make a tight braid -- the yellow yarn is one section and each ribbon is its own section. When you have reached the end of the braid, slide it through the frying pan's handle and tie the two ends of the braid together. Be sure that the necklace is large enough to fit over the head of the child who will wear it.

With Valentine's Day in the air, buying some beautiful new underwear may be on the minds of some women, or men brave enough not to be daunted by the lingerie aisle!
However after a diagnosis of breast cancer, more than 80% of women suffer the trauma of surgery to remove part or all of one or both their breasts. After going through surgery, women affected often tell Breast Cancer Care they feel unfeminine and like they will never be able to feel confident and glamorous.
Breast Cancer Care's free Lingerie Evenings, which take place in local communities across the UK, can help women find body confidence after surgery, give them the opportunity to be fitted with post-surgery bras, and see how the lingerie looks on volunteer models who have had breast cancer themselves.
Elaine Wilson, 47, from Macclesfield, attended a Lingerie Evening having a full mastectomy of her right breast. She said: "Before I attended the Lingerie Evening, I was not interested in nice clothes or lingerie at all. I just wanted to hide away in baggy, 'nothing' clothes after surgery. I didn't know how to make the most of my new shape and I had no idea of the underwear that was available.
"The Lingerie Evening gave me some great ideas and a new feeling of confidence. Seeing the women there who had also gone through it and had adjusted to their new 'body normal' was inspiring. The fact they were able to make the most of their new figures proved to me that I could still feel and look good."Find out more.

Request: Mark as Spammer link in Activity stream for Admins
I'm getting a lot of bots signing up on my site everyday. Currently I go to each profile and click "Mark as spammer" from the admin window. This is pretty time consuming so it would be great to have that option next to their stream updates and it be all ajaxy so the page doesn't load after each click.

English as an Additional Language
The English as an Additional Language (EAL) program offers curricular and extra-curricular support to Columbia College Chicago students whose core literacy instruction occurred in languages other than English through specialized course offerings and individual tutoring. "International" sections of Writing and Rhetoric I and II, College Reading, and Oral Expression are specifically designed to serve a multilingual cohort of students, to build from the international perspectives students bring to the classroom, and to offer EAL support with small class sizes. These courses meet the LAS Core Curriculum requirements in Writing and Rhetoric and Oral Communication.
Students are advised to take EAL/International courses based on their iBT (or comparable exam) scores and/or results from the COMPASS test. Students who have home/heritage languages other than English and who have been in the United States for less than 6-8 years should also enroll in the international sections of the courses. All of the courses share goals, objectives, and course design with non-international sections, but they are designed to specifically address the needs of EAL students in the following ways:
- International sections are taught by faculty who specialize in working with EAL students.
- International sections limit enrollment to 12 students so that teachers are able to spend more time with individual students.
- International sections build from the diverse perspectives and cultural and linguistic experiences that student bring with them and provide targeted instruction for the cultural and linguistic challenges that students may face in the US classroom.
- International sections of Writing and Rhetoric and Oral Expression provide weekly, one-hour tutoring sessions with EAL specialists in the Columbia College Chicago Writing Center.
The Academic EAL Program is part of the college-level academic program at Columbia College Chicago and does not have a separate application for admissions. Visit our International Admissions page for more information. Questions? Contact Molly Ades.

please, really need your help!

Spam mails is a complex subject.
First off, are you sending a properly formatted header? The fourth parameter in mail();
Besides that, the rest of the settings are outside of PHP, namely on the mail server.

that sounds like you read a book that was below your reading level. Try another book that would surprise you on how many words are new to you. Now, how should you know if that book is within your reading level? Flip through a few pages and if you found that there are about 5 words on a page that new to you, it's yours to take home to read to increase your vocab.
