If a BABY can do it...
by DeAnna Lee
posted Apr 11 2013 11:54AM
Whoooooa! Look at this baby PLANKING!
Ok I admit that finding the motivation to plank everyday is tough! It's easier if you have someone doing them with you and holding you accountable. Like last night, I was snuggled up on the couch watching American Idol. My boyfriend came home from band practice asking if I had done my plank. I told him I had not done my plank. And he MADE ME get up and do mine with him! Ha!
The night before it had been me pushing him to do his plank. So the roles were reversed, and I began to understand the importance of having a battle buddy when it comes to working out.
Many of you have sent me other challenges to try, and I appreciate all of the support! Keep em' coming! I'm trying to do something every day to make myself stronger and get into some type of routine where I'm working on my fitness every single day.
I'm gonna make it through this 30 Day Plank Challenge somehow, then I'm gonna add the 30 Day Squat Challenge to it.
Have you started the challenge yet? If not, it only takes 20 seconds to get going! Check out the graph below: You can do it!!

"Everything was great about this design. We used the periwinkle colour and got lots of compliments. Great service re the design. We altered the text quite a bit and all worked out perfectly."
"I love this suite! It matches well with my winter themed wedding! I will say that I had to have my invites reprinted because on the first batch the main words were blurry. Once I told them about it, customer care sent me a new suite and the words were much better, crisp lining. Everything was beautiful and shipping was fast. The only downside is that the paper wasn't as textured as the sample I received (one of the main reasons I like the suite in the first place). The paper seemed flat, almost no texture at all :( but other than that the invite is beautiful."
"I loved this look but the brown was not in my color scheme and was nervous to do a color change and having to pay before I could see it. I loved the invite so much I decided to do it and I designed it how I wanted it and submitted it. within 10 mins I had a proof emailed to me and it was exactly what I had imagined. Super fast, super cute, super cheap, super awesome"
"I love these invitations! They quality is better than I expected and they look more expensive than they really are! The classic look of this design is just perfect for what I have in mind for my wedding. I can't wait to send these out to everyone."
"I got this invitation with square edges in the deep blue and a silver backing card. I loved everything about this invitation and the reason I gave Print Quality a 4 is that the blue ink from the invitation rubbed off in the mail and didn't look perfect when my guests got them. Besides that, I loved the look, the designers made the changes I wanted and I would buy this invitation again! Our reception will have lots of hanging lanterns so this invitation plays into that perfectly."

Wisconsin to buy "all new voting machines"—and Koch/Walker will go on "winning" there FOREVER!
From Mary Magnuson:
Mark, I had an extensive conversation with Wisconsin's GAB Director, Kevin Kennedy on 7/20; among other things, he indicated was that Wisconsin will be getting "all new voting machines within the next three years," as the equipment we have now is "old and outdated."
GAB held a "demonstration" of the new systems in Madison last evening – folks were invited from 5 – 7pm:
"There is a demonstration of 1 voting system the DS200 with the AutoMark and UNITY election management system"
This blog written by Dennis Kern is in response to the "demonstration":
And footage of the "demonstration": Called "GAB Dog and Pony Show":

APPLICATION FILED NOV. 17, I915- Patented Apr. 24, 1917.
WATCH-STAND- Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 24, 191i '7.
Application filed November 17, 1915. Serial No. 61,907.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILBUR C. SwANsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Diego, in the county of San Diego and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Watch- Stands, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a watch stand upon which a watch may be readily placed and removed, which stand is for supporting a watch in an upright position, and the objects of my invention are: first, to provide a stand for supporting a watch in an upright position so that its face can be readily seen from a distance; second, to provide a device of this class in which the watch may be readily placed and removed; third, to provide a stand of this class which presents a pleasing appearance to the eye with or without the economical of construction and durable.
With these and other objects in view as will appear hereinafter my invention consistspf certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter described in detail, and particularly set forth in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the characters of reference thereon which form a part of this specification in whichz Figure 1 is a front elevational view of my watch stand showing a watch mounted thereon by dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a side elevational view thereof without the watch. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view of the same at right angles to that of Fig. 1. Fig. 4; is a side view of the stand in a slightly modified form from that of Figs. 1, 2, and 3, and Fig. 5 is a top or plan view thereof.
Similar characters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
he base portion 1, pad 2, stem 3, watch holder 4, and cushion 5 constitute the principal parts of my watch stand.
The base 1 isvflat at its lower surface to provide alarge bearing surface and tapers upwardly as shown in the drawings. It is provided on its lower surface with a pad 2 secured thereto, adapted to provide a construction, combination cushion for the base to prevent noise and the scratching of the surface of highly polished furniture. Mounted centrally on the top of this base piece 1 is a stem 3 which extends upwardly a slight distance and upon the upper end of which is secured the watch holder 4 which is a semi-circular recessed piece adapted for the watch case to fit into, t e front portion being cut away so that the full face of the watch may be seen while the back portion 4 extends upwardly for a support for the case of the watch. This watch holder face with a lining 5, preferably soft felt, to provide a cushion for the watch. In the modified form of structure shown in Figs. 4: and 5 of the drawings, the rear portion of the base is extended providing a recess 1 around which a wall 1? is formed which provides a pocket for the loose end of the chain hanging from the watch.
Though I have shown and described a particular construction, combination and arrangement of parts, I do not wish to be imited to this particular construction, combination and arrangement, but desire to include in the purview of my invention the and arrangement substantially as set forth in the appended claims.

Is this a felony or misdemeanor? As a felony the maximum is 3 years. If its a misdemeanor the maximum is 180 days. Felony theft is greater than $950.00 however it is not usually strictly applied. What the punishment is depends upon the strength of the case against your daughter and her record.
The judge can give her 5 days for the failure to appear. Beyond that she'll have to either fight the charges or deal with the DA. Either way she needs an attorney.

La Flor Dominicana's First Box-Pressed Chisel
David Savona
Posted: June 28, 2013
The Chisel, the strong, distinctively tapered cigar made by Litto Gomez, is getting flat.
The La Flor Dominicana Chapter 1, a limited-edition smoke packed in a book-shaped box containing 10 cigars, is set to be unveiled next month at the cigar world's biggest trade show. The dark smoke is wrapped with an upper-priming Brazilian wrapper. The inside is a blend of Connecticut broadleaf binder and filler tobacco grown on the Dominican farm that Gomez has used for years in his signature cigars.
Most of the cigar's body is box-pressed, a first for a Chisel, and the head of the cigar has that signature flattened tip that looks like a wedge.
Gomez told Cigar Aficionado the project was the brainchild of his son Tony. "He made it fatter and he flattened it," Gomez said this morning.
When asked if the cigar was strong, Gomez replied: "Very. I think it's the strongest Chisel. The broadleaf binder kicks it up."
The Brazilian wrapper used on this smoke is from the same tobacco used for the La Flor Dominicana TAA cigar and in the Casa de Tabaco Air Bender Maduro, but from a higher priming. A high-priming leaf is grown higher on the tobacco plant, resulting in darker color and more power.

Be Yourself: Musical Connections in Washington, DC
Backstage at George Washington University's Lisner Auditorium, 8-year-old pianist Oscar Paz-Suaznabar has his head bent over a cell phone, launching angry birds at stubborn pigs, and From the Top alum Clifton Williams reaches over to show him a trick. Clifton has recently graduated college and moved to Los Angeles to build a career composing and playing piano, but this weekend he has become a superstar to young Oscar, who watched intently each time Clifton took his seat behind the piano. Around the corner in the dressing rooms, you can hear soft giggles as 15-year-old Kiarra Saito-Beckman and 17-year-old Taiga Ultan, who only met a few short days ago, recount their performances on the stage. Over the stage monitor beats the super cool rhythm of Christopher O'Riley's break piece, a version of Aphex Twin's produk 29 [101], which is being performed by Christopher, joined by alum Marcelina Suchocka and her all-girl percussion ensemble "Excelsis." These From the Top musicians have had an amazing week in Washington, DC, filled with musician-to-musician interactions that are the start of new friendships.
The recording of From the Top with Host Christopher O'Riley, presented by Washington Performing Arts, was the final event in a week-long residency in Washington, DC, sponsored by The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation. The recording lauded the 15-year anniversary of the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation and celebrated our ten-year partnership – which has resulted in over $2 million in scholarships for amazing young musicians with financial need. All of the performers on this show received From the Top's Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award, a scholarship to be used on instruments, lessons, travel, or other essentials needed to further their musical education.
The whole experience began at a middle school half an hour away from George Washington University's Lisner Auditorium on Tuesday, October 21. There, the performers met face-to-face for the first time in the auditorium at River Bend Middle School in Loudon County, Virginia. They gathered around From the Top's education program staff to see videos of how some of From the Top's alumni are taking their music beyond the concert hall. Inspired, they got down to business, planning and rehearsing an assembly that they would present to the seventh and eighth grade students the next morning. They practiced what they thought they might say to the young audience before turning to the school's teachers for advice, who smiled and told them "Be yourself." As they made their way back to Washington, DC, the performers were ready.
The next morning, the fresh-faced bunch performed their assembly to thunderous applause. The performers made their way into the audience to greet their new fans. High fives were given generously and grins adorned each performer's face. As the last audience member made their way out the door, the young musicians peeled off into a row of classrooms where eighth grade music students would visit for mini-master classes with From the Top's mini-masters.
In the band room, Marcelina selected kids to play the marimba, shakers, and wood blocks, while she laid down a groove on the congas. Next door, Clifton gave the kids a lesson in networking usually reserved for young professionals, "Be kind, be assertive, and be yourself" he told them. Kiarra used Bach to demonstrate how classical music employs repetition, as popular music does. And finally, Taiga and Oscar encouraged students to explore how the experience of listening to classical music changed when they were lying down, or facing the wall, or doing anything but sitting quietly in a normal concert hall.
This day of outreach was a huge learning opportunity for our performers. Asked to speak for a group of donors later on in the week, Kiarra told us that she wouldn't have known how to tell her story prior to the education experience with From the Top.
But that was only the beginning. They still had to record an episode of the most popular weekly one-hour classical music program on public radio. Now that they had planned and presented such an involved program for such a discerning audience – middle-schoolers! – this team of performers had experience and confidence that would support them in their From the Top radio recording.
You can hear their show the week of November 17, by listening on your local station, downloading the podcast, or streaming the show at www.fromthetop.org.
Soft Rains, Big Sounds
On a cool, crisp November day last fall, as the leaves completed their yearly makeover of the New England hills, painting them in swaths of red and orange, a rainstorm was brewing INSIDE of Boston's Symphony Hall.
Some of the area's best musicians had gathered on stage of the historic music venue along with From the Top's Music Director Tom Vignieri to record a very special piece of music. Tom's hauntingly beautiful piece "There Will Come Soft Rains" was commissioned by the Columbus Children's Choir and by Deborah Price and the Chamber Music Connection – a music program in Ohio that has had many performers featured on our NPR show.
"There Will Come Soft Rains" was written using the text of Sara Teasdale's poem (by the same name and written during World War I) about nature reclaiming a world devastated by war. In the video below, you can see many From the Top alumni and staff members, and hear them create a rainstorm with their voices and instruments. Enjoy!

Exploring Arts Leadership with the National Youth Orchestra of the USA
On July 16, we recorded a show with the National Youth Orchestra of the USA (NYOUSA). Our friends at Carnegie Hall bring this orchestra of amazing young musicians together each summer, and the result is pretty incredible. (You can listen to the show here, if you'd like. We highly recommend it!) The next day, From the Top staff took the entire orchestra through our Arts Leadership Workshop, led by Director of Education & Community Partnerships, Linda Gerstle. We asked Linda to share some of her favorite moments.
PS: It's worth noting that normally, a From the Top Arts Leadership Workshop has less than 20 young musicians involved. This time, there were a few more.
REQUIEM! Classical Music is Dying in America!
120 members of the National Youth Orchestra of the USA debated this with conviction – from strongly agree to strongly disagree with shades of gray in between. A chorus of voices engaged with the big issues at play in their world – what it means to take it beyond the concert hall as 21st century musicians, how an orchestra can be a resource to a community – an apt illustration of the overall tone of the arts leadership workshop for Carnegie Hall's NYOUSA.
Orchestra member (and From the Top alum) Audrey Chen summed it up best:
It was amazing seeing everyone speak out and voice their opinions. The whole orientation really went so far to show that all of us can not only play great music but can also communicate our ideas really well!
Exploring the ways music can transform lives – as individuals, small and large ensembles – was viewed from many perspectives, using an array of From the Top alumni examples. Whether raising dollars to benefit a rare blood disease like alum Stephanie Block, or mobilizing an entire community to address the gap in musical opportunities across a district's schools like alum Thomas West, it was inspiring to watch pre-collegiate musicians tell their stories to empower others. Michael Dahlberg, an alum of the radio show and now a member of From the Top's education team, narrated his personal journey, helping the audience to define their own version of success for themselves, envisioning the possibilities in their lives.
This workshop was just the beginning; with outreach opportunities built into the five week NYOUSA tour schedule, each participant was asked to take a question or thought from the orientation that they wanted to explore throughout the course of the tour. One of From the Top's primary goals for the arts leadership workshop was to leave orchestra members feeling as excited and curious about the opportunities outside the concert hall as those that lie within. Many expressed an eagerness to take a next step – and we look forward to showcasing their leadership moments that we know will inspire current and future audiences.
In the meantime, check out the incredible array of thoughtful responses to a simple question:
"Music has the power to…?"
In addition, here are some other quotes from the participants about the arts leadership workshop:"One of the highlights for me from the From the Top workshop was definitely the emphasis put on thinking outside the box… I think the whole workshop was very eye-opening for a lot of us." –Lily Honigberg "I have always had the general idea that I wanted to use music to create positive change in the world, and the orientation helped bring focus to my ideas… A lot of what my colleagues said I had not considered yet, in examining the question, and I was glad to broaden my understanding of something so key in what I am choosing to do with my life… There was a lot of variation in how the material was presented, and we were all engaged." –Josephine Stockwell " [the orientation] really left a strong impression on me, and also got me thinking about what I could begin to do in college, and how I could build upon and put into action the big and small ideas I previously had on this topic of community engagement for artists." –Soyeong Park
PS: Editor's Note – It's pretty clear that classical music is alive and well thanks to these young people.
Notes from Aspen
Well, there's no doubt that being in a place as gorgeous as Aspen gets the creative juices flowing. I mean, really, how can you not feel inspired when this is your view?
Tonight (8/3/14), we'll record a show of From the Top with host Christopher O'Riley. We'll feature a host of incredibly talented musicians who are here at the Aspen Music Festival and School. Seriously, these kids will blow you away with their talent, and we'll tell you more about them later on.
But today, what strikes me the most about this experience is being poised on the edge of something, and I don't mean all the cliffs around here. We are surrounded by young people, at the top of their musical game, who are experiencing the ultimate training and music-making experience. And we grown ups are smack in the middle of the swirl of energy and potential, pondering how best to help these incredible young people bring their talents and viewpoints to a larger audience.
The folks from the "What Would Beethoven Do?" documentary crew have been following us around, asking us all kinds of questions about why classical music is relevant, how we can bring more people to it..all those questions that those of us in the classical music field tackle on a daily basis. Not surprisingly, we're finding that the young musicians have some incredible answers.
Just a few moments ago, we heard flute player and From the Top alum Anthony Trionfo talk to the documentary crew about his experiences as a young musician.
Anthony, age 19, already a teacher and a young philosopher who believes that "music is about healing", is full of ideas and thoughts on how classical music can make life better. Here's my favorite quote of his, when he was asked how musicians can help bring more people to classical music. "We can play in parks, anywhere," he says. "The world is (our) concert hall."
Right now, 16-year-old cellist Lucy Ticho is telling us of her love for movie soundtracks, and how, when she's in an angsty mood, she likes to listen to Shostakovich; it lifts her up. "Imagine if everyone had that," she says. "Imagine if they could use classical music to change their mood."
For anyone who has doubts about the intelligence and compassion of young people today, I wish you could be here with us, listening to these kids. They are inspiring, energetic, and thoughtful. Luckily, you can hear them on the week of October 6 on the radio, on our website, or via our podcast.

Film Review: Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
SYNOPSIS: An All-American trucker gets dragged into a centuries-old mystical battle in Chinatown. REVIEW: "This is Jack Burton in the Pork Chop Express, and I'm talkin' to whoever's listenin' out there." Sandwiched between the sweet science fiction of Starman and the dark, quantum horror of Prince of Darkness, Carpenter's 1986 film presents a happy medium blending more genres than most filmmakers cover in their entire careers. Poorly received by critics at the time of its … Continue reading

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Winning warming-hut designs once again push the envelope
Pool noodles wouldn't normally be considered a building material, but the designers of a unique warming hut used 2,700 of the colourful foam sticks to show it can be done.
It was one of five huts unveiled Friday as part of the kickoff to Warming Huts: An Art and Architecture Competition on Ice at The Forks. The new huts will join 12 other huts from previous years.
The winning designs required a combination of an art and architectural component, and they have to push the envelope design-wise, explained Clare MacKay, vice-president of marketing and communications at The Forks.
"How can we take what is a basic structure of a warming hut and elevate it to something that's pretty spectacular?" said MacKay.
This year, the open competition that invites innovative designs received nearly 200 submissions from countries including Russia, Norway and Sweden. It is the first time the jury, which judged the submissions "blindly" without knowing the identity of the designers, chose all three winning designs from Canadian teams, with two coming from Toronto and one from Vancouver. A fourth hut was chosen from student submissions at the University of Manitoba. A fifth hut was designed by invitation to renowned Manitoba artist and architect Étienne Gaboury.
"Its nice to have a competition that's small-scale, but that doesn't just stay as a conceptual idea," said David Colussi, a member of the so-called Red Blanket team from WorkShop Architecture in Toronto.
Their design is composed of red, felted wool panels, held in place by a rod at the top and hung in two parallel lines from a bridge. Cold skaters are invited to wrap themselves in these immense blankets, huddle in groups, play and be social.
The only western Canadians in the competition are Kate Busby and Bella Totino, a mother-daughter duo who are called the Windshield team. Their structure is a yellow, five-metre-tall wind vane placed on a circular, rotating steel base. The light frame shields skaters from the wind by rotating according to the wind pattern. The centre column serves as both a handhold and a source of heat and light. The design is based on the tectonics of the early birch-bark canoes.
"It's a very monochromatic world in the winter and so we thought, 'let's use the inspiration of the canoe, use the inspiration of the birch-bark pattern and then zap it up with some great colours,' " said designer Totino.
The other winning design is Skybox, chosen from a separate University of Manitoba competition. It was designed by third-year U of M architecture students Matt Hagen, Ryan Lewis and Evan Taylor. The students explained they wanted to create a piece that was photogenic and would embrace social media.
Their warming hut creates the illusion skaters are sitting among the winter skies through the use of purposefully placed reflective material in its interior. Each time a visitor uploads an image with the tagline #SKYBOX, the Internet is used as a platform to promote the Red River Mutual Trail.
Designed by Gaboury, the Voyageur Hut is inverted pants and sash, suspended by two helium-filled balloons; the lower one, a voyageur carrying a canoe, and the upper one, a floral form that can be seen from afar.
"We invite all Manitobans to skate the trails this winter, but to also stop, pause and appreciate the innovation, creativity and artistry," said Lee McCormick, the vice-president of the Manitoba Association of Architects.
