I live in the Pacific Northwest and the dark, dreary winters have really taken their toll on me in the past. I was researching what I could do about it and learned about vitamin D deficiency and its effects. I thought why not supplement with Vitamin D and see what happens. I read that Vitamin D3 Cholecalciferol was most efficacious for supplementation so I ordered Bluebonnet's product and have been exceptionally well pleased. This is the second winter that I have taken it and I've noticed a tremendous difference in my outlook. I would recommend this for anyone living in a northern climate. Also, last winter iHerb shipped me a bottle that was damaged during shipment. They replaced the product at no charge. I highly recommend doing business with them.
Only D3 I found without lanolin

I find this D3 to be perfect for me. The D3 from lanolin sources made my skin itchy. Bluebonnet doesn't do that. I'm pleased to have found a lanolin free D3. I absolutely will purchase this product again and have shared the information about this product with many people who have had lanolin sensitivities to other D3 brands.

I am allergic to sheep's wool, which most D3 is derived from and cannot tolerate the brands made from it. I break out in a rash. So far this is my first purchase of the fish oil D and I seem to be able to tolerate it much better.

Just brought my first bridge camera, the Fujifilm FinePix S4000. I brought it to replace my Canon Ixus 700. I decided to buy the FinePix S4000 as the reviews on Amazon.co.uk were very good, and so was the price! I have never used a camera like this before so I took some pictures in the auto mode, when I got home and uploaded them I was a little dissapointed as the images (when zoomed) appeared to be very soft, kind of like painted! 4 days after buying the camera I read a review on a blog site, they mentioned what I first thought about the softness when zoomed and many comments were saying how bad the images were! I have uploaded a few these were all taken with the auto setting and some of the close up with macro. Are they that bad, should I return the camera?

La nouvelle American Deluxe Precision Bass® de Fender possède les mêmes caractéristiques exigées par les bassistes, avec un nouveau circuit de préampli qui offre des tonalités actives et passives enthousiasmantes. Ses micros pickup N3, puissants mais silencieux, offrent une plage d'égalisation plus nette et plus étendue que jamais et des options tonales encore plus polyvalentes sont assurées par l'interrupteur actif/passif et par le contrôle de tonalité passif.

Fender has done a great job of keeping the faith of purists, meanwhile pushing the envelope a little more each year. Some would say I'm crazy, but I'll put this bass up against those vintage models any day! This bass resonates well, the expectations are all there, and a BONUS...ACTIVE mode! The beautiful bottom end you can get from this on a stage is beyond anything you can grab from the past. Yes, I went there. I've played many sought after vintage basses, and they all sound terrific in their own ways. However, when you pick this one up, you'll be pleasantly surprised at what it does without breaking your bank (or your back).
Balance is incredible, the playability is second to none, and tone for centuries. I can't put it down! Play with a pick in Passive mode through a tube amp and you'll know what it means to play a genuine Fender P-Bass! Go Active and fill the room with beautiful bottom end!
I would like to see a "black-out" option from Fender (all black hardware and pick guard).
I modded mine with new hardware, but it was very tough to get exact replacement parts I needed.
The N3 pickup can be a bit noisy near a computer (at least my copy is), but is otherwise super-silent. The wiring inside leaves something to be desired, not what I'd expect from an American model, but it works just fine, and I'm happy with that.
Finally, and something that was a problem with my older Jazz Active bass. Plugging it in and unplugging this bass is silent. No more loud thump/pop!
Give one a try!! Plug it into a 300-Watt tube amp mated with an 8x10 cab. FEEL what nothing else can compete with!! GOOSE BUMPS!!
This is an excellent bass in terms of tone, features and playability. Every passive pickup position is reminiscent of a classic record and the active tones just catapult this into uncharted - yet still classic-sounding - territories. Round Precision and growly Jazz tones, with very satisfying mixes of the two, a cutting but warm passive tone control, and very musical active 3-band EQ. A dream all-rounder, yet with very identifiable vintage character.

I own several basses; Fenders as well as other name brands including boutiques. This bass however, has swiftly become among my all time favorites. Never before have I played a more versatile and solid bass. The Deluxe Precision marries the traditional old school Fender Precision sound with the new age jazz tones. If you're seeking a wide range of tones from that Motown sound to the modern funk, traditional blues, or rock; then look no further. The Deluxe P offers the old school growl, rump shaking bottom, and new age modern funk with clear mids and crisp highs; all in one bass.The noiseless pickups are extraordinarily responsive; whether active or passive. I'd been searching for that one bass that can hold its own no mater the musical style and finally it's here.
Seriously, I own 3 additional Fender jazz basses; one 5 string 24 fret, one traditional 5 string, a Fender Marcus Miller Jazz bass, and one 4 string Fender Select Jazz. I also own other Fender Precision basses (fretless and fretted), a Peavey Cirrus 6 string bass, a Lakland AJ (Active Jazz) bass. I've also played or owned and/or played Pedulla, Alembic, Ken Smith, and Fodera. For my money, I'll stay loyal to Leo; the originator of the first electric bass ; more specifically, the deluxe P. Hopefully Fender will design and release a 24 fret 6 string version!!

This bass is awesome.
Starting however with the negatives: the range of colours is woeful - this really needs to be improved, given what is available from other companies. Also, if I were a hardcore bass soloist / trickster, then I probably wouldn't reach first for this bass.
The good parts: great sound and tone - sounds so nice (people keep commenting), THUMPING low end - I mean THUMPING, easy to play - smooth.
If you want to play a bass in the traditional rock / punk / blues sense, then you won't beat this bass.

Due to a need to downsize my collection and following a few gigs with a friend's 2012 American Deluxe,P-Bass, I recently sold my US Standard P and J basses to acquire a black maple board '13 US Deluxe. Many reviewers of this bass have attested to its hybrid nature. They are quite correct. The American Deluxe makes a very good stab indeed at both American Standard P and J basses in passive mode and has the added bonus of switchable active circuitry to give a much wider palette of tones. It is at home with any musical genre you can think but obviously your amp settings are equally critical here.The Deluxe also retains a lot of the traditional and uncluttered look of Fender basses and is of very light weight despite high-quality electronics and hardware. It has a neck feel to die for. Overall build quality is top-class. The basses I sold to acquire this one are industry standards with a decades-long and rich musical heritage. The Deluxe does it better, however and is one of a very few successful hybrid instruments that I'm aware of. Because both Precision and Jazz Bass players will appreciate what is on offer here, the American Deluxe Precision Bass represents a carefully thought-out evolution and convergence of..... two great instruments! Very highly recommended!

After 30 years of playing bass I have played a lot of different basses. My only Fender was a 1980 Precision Special. I prefer to play active basses
because that gives me more control of my bass sound that is coming out of the PA. All the basses I played were really nice sounding
instruments but after I while I was not really satisfied. Something was missing. So when Fender brought out the new american deluxe
instruments my dealer told me that I should try it out. I needed 3 years before testing the new Precision Bass. It kicked my ass from the
first moment I held this beauty in my hands. There was the little thing that I was missing in the sound of my other basses. I have this bass in
sunburst and it looks beautiful. The preamp is really good and you can get lots of different sounds. The jazz bass pickup gives this
bass the punch and clarity that I love. I think that the P\J setup is the best combination you can put on a bass guitar. The really good thing is that this bass never looses his precision character. It just sounds a bit better. The active passive switch is a really good feature and if you switch it to passive mode, blend to the preci pu you have got the passive precision in a very high quality. I was so hypnotized by this bass that I also bought an american deluxe Jazz. So check it out. You can't get more bass for your money. The american deluxe series beats the rest on the marked.
Thank you Fender that you built those two basses for me ;-)

This bass is amazing, but when you get it (like most Fender instruments) you're going to need to tune it up. Like shave the nut down so the strings rest in the right spot and put paper under the neck bolt so it doesn't buzz in the high register, besides all that, this thing is the master. And I have been playing for years and own many Fender basses. It's the bombdiggity
Matthew_Stango owns this item
I own the 98/99 American deluxe p-bass. This bass delivers the best range of tones you will ever need: you can play the vintage precision sound or otherwise use the classic jazz bass tone in a modern style with the active circuitry. Though my model has a modern hum-bucker instead of the jazz pickup, with this bass you have the option to switch between an active or passive bass, which is a mayor upgrade. Anyway, with the versatility, elegant style, 3 EQ band and everything else that is given with this bass, you will finally see yourself using the precision pickup more often than you imagine, because that sound is non replaceable... in the end what its a p-bass (that can give you the jazz and modern bass sound if you wish or need so).
NDF owns this item
This is a fine instrument. Full stop. Playability, weight, balance, fit, feel, finish, and build quality are all superb. The pickups are hot, even without the active circuitry. The ability to get "true bypass" of the active circuitry was one of the things that initially attracted me to this model and it works great! It's like having two separate basses available, all at the flip of a switch. I have a '74 fretless P-bass, a '78 Gibson RD Artist, and a 2012 Jaguar. Tonally, this American Deluxe is like having them all combined into one extremely playable (and great-looking) package. Like the title of the review says, I'm pretty sure this is the last bass that I will ever need.
dstdean owns this item
Is this a PBass or a JBass? Well, it's actually BOTH, and everything in between! If you're looking for that classic Precision Bass growl, you have the split single-coil P pickup. If you want that iconic Jazz Bass sound, there's the N3 Noiseless J pickup. If you want the best of both worlds, leave the pot in the mid position, or, just a tweak either way will get you a custom blend of the two best sounding bass guitars known to man! This bass played great right off the wall with the factory setup. Very impressive. The active/passive mini-toggle switch is a handy addition in case the two 9 volt batteries start losing their juice. Fit and finish is excellent, typical of the American Deluxe series. I bought the black version with the maple neck almost a year ago, and I'm very pleased with it. I never thought I could love another bass as much as my 5 year old American Deluxe Jazz Bass V, but this PBass is coming very close. My one and only complaint, (and this goes for the JBass as well) is that when I went to replace strings on both basses, I found that a screw had fallen out of one of the tuners. Fender and Hipshot quickly sent me new ones, and a drop of Locktite will ensure that they stay put. If you can't decide between the P and J basses, this is the guitar for you!

Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao? Maybe in 2015
Manny Pacquiao says that a bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. could not happen until 2015 if Mayweather is not willing to work with Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum.
Manny Pacquiao says that a bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. could not happen until 2015 if Mayweather is not willing to work with Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum.
Floyd Mayweather has acknowledged the potential for bouts with either Amir Khan or Marcos Maidana, while dismissing the notion of a fight with Manny Pacquiao.
Trainer Virgil Hunter believes Amir Khan "can shock the world" and defeat Floyd Mayweather Jr. if his fighter gets a shot at the reigning welterweight and junior middleweight champ on May 3.
Amir Khan said he has signed his part of the contract to face Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 3, but added that would also welcome a clash with friend and former stablemate Manny Pacquiao.
Marcos Maidana's manager, Sebasian Contursi, believes his fighter would make for a more exciting bout against Floyd Mayweather Jr. than would Amir Khan.
Richard Schaefer on being chosen Promoter of The Year by Sports Illustrated: "In the end, this is all about the fans of our great sport and I will continue to deliver the best fights and fighters to them in 2014 and beyond."
In a recent Tweet, Freddie Roach touted Floyd Mayweather Sr.'s "great performance" as The Predator creature in the movie of the same name.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. lampoons Manny Pacquiao, Marcos Maidana and Amir Khan during a series of Tweets and photos over the Christams holidays.
Trainer Mike Stafford said that among Adrien Broner's mistakes against Marcos Maidana is that he tried to make their bout "a street fight" too early.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. suggests that Marcos Maidana is a more likely opponent than Manny Pacquiao, and that Adrien Broner's next fight should be on his undercard in May.
Saturday's win by Marcos Maidana to dethrone Adrien Broner as WBA welterweight titleholder drew 1.3 million viewers, Showtime's Executive Vice President and General Manager of Sports, Stephen Espinoza, announced on Tuesday.
Robert Garcia on Marcos Maidana's win over Adrien Broner: "We were ready to throw 100 punches a round. We know that's the only way to beat somebody like Adrien Broner, or that's the way to beat somebody like Floyd Mayweather [Jr.,]. That's the way [Roberto] Duran beat Sugar Ray Leonard."
Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer on Marcos Maidana-Adrien Broner: "I would like to see a rematch. I would like a rematch at the Alamodome. There is no rematch clause."
WBA welterweight titleholder Adrien Broner has a speedy boxing style that usually troubles challlenger Marcos Maidana, who may employ an aggressive strategy that once stymied Broner. RingTV.com polled 25 boxing insiders/fans about whose style will prevail on Saturday.
Adrien Broner's trainer Mike Stafford said the undefeated WBA welterweight beltholder is going to "make Marcos to Maidana look so bad, that he's going to look like an amateur" during their showdown in San Antonio on Saturday.
Heavyweight Magomed Abdusalamov has been taken out of a coma and out of the intensive care unit, according to his promoter.
Showtime's Stephen Espinoza on a potential Floyd Mayweather fight in New York: "Floyd is intrigued by being the biggest and the best and being a trailblazer. Coming into the New York market in a way that no one has before would be very appealing."
Manny Pacquiao has been made the WBC's No. 1-ranked welterweight contender behind the organization's titleholder Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Floyd Mayweather calls potential May 3 opponent Amir Khan "a young, strong champion," who "comes and fights."
Amir Khan on a potential bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr.: "I just told them, 'Yes, I would fight him,' and left it up to Golden Boy to maybe get it done."

|© Marc Riboud/Magnum Photos, Washington, DC, October 21, 1967
This guest blog post has been written by janrose, who was photographed by Marc Riboud in the famous image above.
Photographer Marc Riboud, who snapped the well-known photo of me holding up a flower in front of a National Guardsman during an anti-war protest in 1967, is a man of peace. He was a member of the French Resistance movement that fought gallantly against the Nazi occupation during World War II. No one but Marc could have perfectly captured this moment in my journey to understand "The War Machine."
I was a troubled 17-year-old who had butted up against "The Establishment" in many ways. I was passionate in my feeling that the war in Vietnam was wrong. For me at the time, it was proof perfect that the powers in Washington were corrupt and vile. All of the wrongs of the establishment and the horrors of that illegal war melded into the rhetorical monster, " The War Machine". In my mind at the time, the soldiers were the "mongrels of death".
I joined thousands of my comrades in peace in Washington, DC, marching from the Washington Monument and over the bridge to the Pentagon. I shouted, "Viva Che," (even though I had no idea at that time who or what a Che was!) only because it was what everyone around me was chanting. At one point, we marchers decided to break from the designated route. The soldiers knew this and lined up, forming a barricade to keep us in place. I confronted them, coming closer and closer, beseeching them to put down their guns and join us. I continued to shout, but as soon as I was close enough to really look into their eyes, my idea of "the war machine" melted away, and suddenly I realized that these soldiers were just young boys. They could have been my brother, my date, my cousin....
Marc's camera captured my deep sadness as my realization bridged the gulf isolating and alienating me from those young men. The rhetorical facade melted away, reducing the monsters into mortals.
Precisely, at that moment, a simpatico resonated between me and those young soldiers. We were one.
If you look into my eyes in the photo, you will see this deep sadness, as I realized that they too were the victims of war.
WAR/PHOTOGRAPHY: Images of Armed Conflict and Its Aftermath will show at the Annenberg Space for Photography through June 2, 2013.

The City's goal is to reduce energy use, control cost, and limit the environmental impact (e.g. carbon emissions) of outdoor lighting while balancing the safety and security of Alexandria residents.
As part of the City's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant program and the Eco-City Alexandria initiative, the Department of Transportation and Environmental Services has partnered with Dominion VA Power to retrofit approximately 34 streetlights with light-emitting diode, also known as LED technology. The pilot project will help the City and Dominion VA Power better understand operational and performance factors such as equipment life cycle costs, lighting performance, and energy usage. The first pilot site encompasses the Braddock Metro Station area, and includes streetlights along E. Braddock, N. West, and Madison streets. This area was selected because it has high pedestrian traffic and includes four of the most commonly used lighting fixtures throughout the City: cobra head, colonial, gadsby, and acorn. The pilot project began in June, 2011 and will conclude in June, 2012.
The City welcomes feedback from the community about the LED Streetlight Pilot Project. Please feel free to submit your comments to email@example.com. Should you have questions, call 703.746.4065.

Title: HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!
Date: Sep 01, 2011
Do NOT waste your money on this shirt!!!! What a waste. My daughter is currently in 18month sized shirts from The Children's Place & this shirt wouldn't have fit her when she was 6 months old!! She is right @ 20lbs @11 and half months old and there, is NO WAY this shirt would fit her. What a waste of time & money. ;( I had really hoped it would work b/c it is very cute but, I would love to know where they get their sizing chart, trying to call it a 2T. Please do NOT buy this product. I love all of the plates, napkins, etc for this theme. But, wish I hadn't wasted my money on the shirt. They are going to charge me $7 to return it along with what it cost to ship to me. So, I'll not even get half of my money back. :( ;( :(

Title: Cute shirt but small
Date: Mar 04, 2010
I ordered this for my daughter's first birthday party. It is a really cute shirt, but I was disappointed at how small it was. The description said 2T for the size, but it fit more like 6-12M. My daughter is 50% for weight and 80% for height, and is wearing 12-18M clothes. This shirt was tight on her and was too short in length. I was expecting it to be roomy (as 2T size) and that she would be able to wear it for a while this spring. She wore it for her party, but that will be the first and last time. I wish the shirt would have been larger because it's really cute.

Last night was the Royal Premiere of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in London, and although we were a leeetle bit sad that a pregnant Kate Middleton was too sick to attend and Prince William had to come on his own, we were in awe of Cate Blanchett's white Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci white Spring Summer 2013 gown. Anyone else inspired to try out winter white?
Cate was yet another Hollywood actress to brave the freezing red carpet in Leicester Square. This time last week, it was Anne Hathaway and Amanda Seyfried who arrived for the premiere of Les Miserables before Rosamund Pike did the same for the Jack Reacher premiere. Cate, however, was surely the savviest red carpet-er, opting for a long-sleeved, high necked gown from the French fashion house. Anne Hathaway also opted for Givenchy when she arrived in London and showcased her new crop in a backless gown. Similiarly, Cate's frock was no plain column dress - oh no. It featured side slits, metal touches on the shoulders and a dramatic open back. She's just as fashion-forward as ever.
La Blanchett paired the look with a white Givenchy clutch and some Givenchy spring 2013 sandals. Cate then kept her make up look nice and simple wearing a simple chignon and nude lip, keeping all the attention on the statement dress. Anyone else think this is one of the best Cate Blanchett looks, well, ever?
This certainly isn't the first time Cate has chosen to wear Givenchy on the red carpet and she is not afraid of trying out their more daring designs. Remember back in 2011 when she wore a lilac chiffon gown gown with contrasting yellow beading?
Take a look through Cate's style evolution in the lookbook below...

I had a butch lesbian 7th grade science teacher who used to scream at us, "Sit down on your anus!" she was a weird lady, but she was cool all the same
My school only has hot substitute teachers, 'tis sad, you only see them for one day and the next day they're in another school making students have the fantasies I had the time she was teaching my class and I...

I remember there was this one woman, Mrs. Markio (sp?) who would knit these worms made of yarn and give them out to people at the end of the day if they were good. I rarely ever got them
Other than that, she was a real witch. I hated her.
i wouldnt do any of my teachers
they are all either old or just ugly
I just noticed, those in kindergarten gets the hot teachers
I got a cranky old lady for Kindergarden. She was funny tho. During story time, she wouldn't notice that I was mindlessly walking around the halls.
I had a teacher named Mrs. Burg in kindergarten. I remember one time she left the room so some kids and I began jumping on the furniture. when she came back she began yelling at us and made us put our heads down on the desk as punishment while the good kids got to play outside in the playground

The first set from this show is one of my favorite first sets out there. It's one of those that looks decent on paper, but can't possibly be appreciated without being heard. I chose to grab some seats this night and ended up next to a bunch of folks who had brought tons of the those really big rubbery balloons. I think it was someone's birthday. At any rate, a whole bunch of us spent the pre-show blowing them up and writing songs names on them, the usual. But the CCCC is so intimate, and the energy was so high after the previous night's show, that when the band came on, and we launched the balloons, there was almost an New Year's Eve effect. Tons of them went flying towards the stage and you could feel that the band was touched and the energy was soaring.
"Limb by Limb" opened things up beautifully and was followed nicely by the first somewhat extended "Back on the Train" - an incredibly danceable, funky, early version. And if there any of you who tire of the predictable "Disease"s that are straight-ahead Trey wailers, you'll want to hear this one to keep your faith. There's an absolutely beautiful ambient-like jam in here, with a theme that the band who pick up again in the Big Cypress version. A first set treat to be sure. It segues into one of the best "Fast Enough"s I think the band has ever played, and is then followed by a fifteen minute "Ya Mar" with techno-like jamming. You like your "Antelope" to rage? Find me a meaner one.
Oh yeah, and the second set was pretty damn good, too.

November probably isn't the best time to think about a portable iPod dock—unless you're compiling a gift list, of course. However, the Yamaha PDX-11 Portable Dock is something you just can't ignore. Look at it!
The company just announced this standout portable player dock. It looks a little like a strobe light. However, this octagonal horn-shaped design is built for travel. Yamaha says it's a rugged player, but we don't think it's the type of thing you want to leave out in the snow or even drop-kick across a holiday party.
That said, the PDX-11 has a "grab and go" roll bar chrome handle, which makes it easy to tote around. Six AA batteries boast up to 8 hours of portable power, or you can use the included AC power supply.
Once you get to your destination, park that iPod or iPhone in the dock on top, and get ready to rock out via a 4-inch woofer and a separate tweeter.
Of course, the PDX-11 doesn't always have to be on the go. It also works with a PC, Mac or other digital audio player via a mini jack (3.5mm) on the back of the dock.
Available in white, dark blue, green and black, the Yamaha PDX-11 is available now with an MSRP of $99.95.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Preparing a Budget
In most organizations, the treasurer will be asked to prepare an annual budget. Since no two genealogical, historical or family societies or organizations are exactly alike, a budget for any one organization will have its own peculiarities. However, there are some standard guidelines which, when adhered to, will assist the treasurer submit a successful budget for the president and board to approve. Before you begin, gather some important information by answering these four questions:
- What is the purpose of our organization?
- �
- Genealogical?
- Historical? �
- Family Association? �
- Other?
- What are our financial needs?
- �
- Do we publish?
- A Quarterly
- A Newsletter �
- Other publications
- Do we maintain a library facility? �
- Do we sponsor conferences and/or seminars? �
- Are there travel expenses? �
- Are there advertising expenses? �
- Is there paid staff with the associated employee benefits?
- Do we publish?
- What are our financial resources?
- Membership Dues? �
- Subscriptions for publications? �
- Interest/Investment Income? �
- Donations? Gifts?
- How do we balance our financial needs with our financial resources?
- Increasing membership dues? �
- Decreasing services? �
- Fund raising?
The purpose of your organization directs the efforts of board and members. A well defined mission statement helps you know why your particular organization exists. Your strategy for promoting your organization or society should be based upon this goal. As treasurer, it is your responsibility to advise the board if the financial expenditures are straying from the stated purpose of the organization.
As you evaluate the financial needs of your society or organization for the coming year, consider the following items:
Operating Expenses Organizations which differ in purpose will have different levels of operating expenses. For example, genealogical and historical organizations may operate a headquarters and/or library facility, whereas a family association may not. The headquarters may move annually as the president is changed. Factors such as these will have to be tailored to your organization. First, let us examine "normal" operating expenses. Expenses related to operating a facility will be handled secondly.
Consider the following items when preparing your budget:
- Telephone
- Letterhead stationery
- Envelopes
- Mailing/Postage
- Computer equipment and printers
- Software
- Computer disks/CDs
- Photocopy paper
- Rubber stamps/pads
- Equipment maintenance
- Post office box
- Miscellaneous office supplies
The treasurer should request assistance from other board members to itemize expenses they anticipate. Or, if operating a small organization, the treasurer may decide to compile all of the information personally and submit the budget for review and additions. Whichever method is used, it is helpful to work from the previous year's budget. The treasurer should supply copies of the budget to other board members as needed.
If your organization operates a permanent facility, the following items would all be budgeted under this category:
- Rent/Lease/Purchase
- Furnishing/Equipment
- Utilities
- Cleaning/Maintenance
- Miscellaneous
Equipment maintenance contracts are available from most office supply firms. When equipment such as computers, fax machines or photocopy equipment is purchased, the firm may try to contract for maintenance. This is usually a good idea, especially for photocopy equipment.
If your organization also operates a library, these items should be considered:
- Acquisition of new material
- Repair/Binding
- Replacement costs
- Cataloging
- Dues to other organizations
- Miscellaneous
Always include a miscellaneous fund in your budget. This item should not exceed five percent of the overall budget. If it does, anticipated expenses should be better estimated or more detailed in the future.
Undocumented Expenses
Well-meaning board members may donate a number of items during the year to "help the organization." If undocumented, the treasurer does not have a true picture of expenses. When that board member is replaced, expenses "unexplainably" go up. If board members do this and insist on not being reimbursed, impress upon them the importance of documenting the expenses to provide a better idea of the actual operating costs needed to operate the organization.
Employee Benefits
If your organization is paying employee benefits or anticipates paying them in the future, these may be as high as twenty-eight percent of your employee payroll expenses.
Numerous options are open to every society or organization to meet operating expenses. Major sources of the income are from 1) membership dues, 2) subscriptions and publications, and 3) donations. Some organizations have interest income on investments and/or savings.
Membership Dues
Membership dues must be evaluated to ascertain if they are meeting the expenses of the society. If you increase membership dues to cover operating expenses, consider the impact of the increased membership on all aspects of your organization. Many organizations produce publications which are included in the price of the membership dues. At some point, it may be necessary for an organization to reevaluate and completely understand their operating and publication costs.
Subscriptions for Publications
Numerous publications cover the spectrum of the genealogical and historical community. The quality of publications ranges from poor to excellent in both content and materials. It is a good idea to secure bids for producing and/or printing your publication at least every two years. The printing industry is very competitive and there are always some "hungry printers" out there. When calculating the costs for your publications consider the following:
- Production
- Printing
- Mailing preparation
- Labels
- Postage
A non-profit organization may consider obtaining a bulk rate permit from the postal service.
Your organization may have the luxury of having a surplus of funds. The treasurer is usually asked to investigate methods to maximize interest income. If account balances are considerably higher than expected expenses, you may want to recommend to the board that funds from the general account be placed in a Certificate of Deposit or Money Market account. Also, some financial institutions are willing to give free checking services. If your organization has several accounts and some money should be placed in higher interest bearing accounts, stagger the terms of the accounts so all organization funds are not tied to the same time table.
Many individuals want to donate to organizations. Those societies operating a library are likely to receive gifts. We have been taught not to "look a gift horse in the mouth", but your organization must do this at times. For example, your library should have a collection development policy for the materials to be acquired. If someone wants to donate a considerable collection of material, does it meet the criteria? If not, you are devoting space, materials and resources to a "gift" your organization really didn't need or want. This is very costly. Thus, evaluate all donations before accepting them. One exception may be cash. However, this too must be evaluated if there are "strings attached."
When projected financial outlays do not match your potential financial resources, you should consider doing one or more of the following:
- Increase membership dues
- Decrease services
- Fund raising
(Note: Fund raising is addressed in a separate Society Strategy Paper and FGS Wiki entry).

Movement 1: Introduzione quasi una Fantasia
Movement 2: Molto vivace
Movement 3: Collana musicale: Andante moderato
Edmund Rubbra sounded new musical depths after 1950, above all in his sixth symphony, and there are musical connections between that work and the viola concerto composed a year earlier, in 1952. In particular, a motif with a falling fifth, fundamental to the symphony, is a good deal in evidence in the concerto's scherzo. At the start, its first movement also anticipates two symphonic openings from later in Rubbra's life: a harp note and deep tremolando C look to the seventh symphony (1957), while its deep solo stringed instrument over an even lower bass is reproduced another seventeen years later at the start of the tenth symphony. As both composing colleague and former music-reviewer, Rubbra would have been well aware of Walton's viola concerto, but it is surely pure coincidence that in both works the solo line opens with a rising minor third.
This opening, too, is predominantly thoughtful, but where Walton becomes daringly impulsive, Rubbra, for all his frequent insistence that composing was like improvisation, builds a long line with supreme skill. As so often with him, a livelier section begins about two minutes in—one can be no more exact, for one of his characteristics, sensed more clearly in the concerto's finale, is the overlapping of sections like the links in a chain or necklace. The new one brings a further anticipation of the seventh symphony, this time of dancing, Tchaikovsky-like music at the same structural point. After a brief but violent storm has brewed up and blown over, one turn of phrase five minutes in is like a literal quotation from Tchaikovsky. The sober atmosphere, soon returning, is more than once dispelled by something almost frantic, but eventually prevails and is finally underlined in the cadenza. Despite the Elgarian precedent, the idea of couching the soloist's traditional showpiece entirely over a brooding timpani-roll was daring and dramatic and ran the risk of alienating potential performers.
Neither Walton nor Rubbra would have wished to avoid some echo of perhaps the century's greatest symphonist—Sibelius. Rubbra's scherzo sets out in a Lemminkäinen mood, with the soloist first joining in the heavyweight dance, then wending his own quieter way like Berlioz's viola-playing Harold shunning the Orgy of Brigands: as well he might, given some quite outlandish goings-on in the background, where sinister birds seem to be rehearsing for an appearance in a Hitchcock film (in the sixth symphony they reappear, now totally happy!). Though Rubbra always uses the percussion instruments with great economy, here he lets the side-drum gear itself up for its big moments in the seventh symphony. Near the end we meet someone he called his 'far-distant Spanish ancestor'. That colourful though purely imaginary person, in evidence ever since an early violin sonata, seems to be over on a flying visit—perhaps for the 1953 Coronation, since he is also around at the opening of the BBC's commission for the great event, Ode to the Queen. One could be hearing one of the Spanish pieces from Façade, and there is almost a feeling of parody, comparable to Bartók's send-up of Shostakovich's Leningrad Symphony in his Concerto for Orchestra. Like most Rubbra scherzos, this is for the most part uneasy music, the product of a very full mind.
Rubbra said his finale, a 'collana musicale' or musical necklace, was based entirely on material from the viola's first thirteen bars, making up 'nine interrelated meditations … without a central theme, but linked together in spirit'. The boundaries of these 'meditations' are often blurred by his overlapping of sections, and one may then perceive rather a gradually changing flux, within an atmosphere of intense concentration.
Meditations I and II are long and slow, minor then major, sombre then serene, and both strikingly beautiful ('from the heart it came, may it speak to people's hearts', in Beethoven's words). Another instrument Rubbra used with as much tact as economy was the harp, sometimes giving it music that suggested a clock ticking life away. That is so in the extremely still music that ends Meditation I, for viola and harp over the barest string accompaniment—it suggests someone straining his perceptions almost to the point of pain as he tries to recall something infinitely precious that is about to disappear. The rhythm changes to 6/8 (Meditation III), but the mood is still sombre, and after about seven minutes we find another Rubbra fingerprint, a series of drum beats that could be saying 'All flesh is as grass'. Meditation IV brings a milder 'memento mori' from the harp, with a lovely added clarinet line that looks forward to a great moment in the slow movement of the sixth symphony. Quite abruptly (Meditation V) the music breaks into a brisker (though ephemeral) 6/8: we seem to be into a typical Rubbra form—slow first half, quick second half, in effect two movements rolled into one, a scheme he would return to in the sixth symphony. But the quick music all too soon turns back toward the minor mode and subsides (Meditation VI). In Meditation VII Old Mortality harp again seems to pluck off the moments one by one. This varied restatement of II is followed (in Meditation VIII) by another version of III, a new touch being a texture that figures in the slow movements of the preceding and ensuing symphonies (Nos 5 and 6); the entire string section plays slowly moving chords, like a cloudscape that has changed each time one looks at it. A final flurry of life (Meditation IX) looks back to a theme that opened the upbeat finale of the war-time fourth symphony; then it had been a public matter, here the composer is coming to terms with some private issue, perhaps of reassurance. And here, at least, the soloist can end on a flourish!
