Soundcraft Consoles Mix Monitors For Maé Arena Tour
Experienced Paris-based monitor engineer Laurent Midas has been mixing Christophe Maé's Autumn national arena tour for the first time on a Soundcraft platform, using both a Vi6 and a Vi2.
The sound man has been providing a reference mix for the best-selling French singer's backing band, including drums and bass, two guitarists, a keyboard player and two backing vocals. A fully equipped 96-channel Vi6, provided by French rental company Potar Hurlant, is assigned to the IEM's, with sends to the floor monitors (plus additional mixes for guest performers) from a Vi2 (supplied by Soundcraft's French distributors, SCV Audio).
Growing up in the studio environment and then developing his own home studio, Laurent Midas switched to live sound 15 years ago. He quickly made a niche for himself as a touring monitor engineer, winning a number of prestigious accounts—mostly in Monitor City. "You could say I am specialised in IEM — around 95% of the time I am mixing in-ears … with or without wedges," he says.
Until recently he had been working in a different digital environment—but six months ago he was introduced to Pascal Briam at SCV Audio, and his life changed. Laurent was soon beta testing the latest Soundcraft Vi digital software for the Soundcraft Vi4 and an enlightening visit to Soundcraft HQ in the UK followed.
Not that the sound engineer wasn't already familiar with the operating topology. "Working in studios I became familiar with the Vistonics™ interface from using the Studer Vista desks. I encountered the Soundcraft Vi6 four years ago, when the product was first released and was pleased to see that it used the same engine."
"When the software was adapted for the Vi4 it became like a brand new desk for me. I love the quality of the sound — just as I loved that Studer Vista sound."
When Christophe Maé started to experience problems with his previous monitor sound two years ago Laurent was drafted in "to clean up the mix" — and he has remained with France's biggest album seller ever since. "This is probably the biggest tour I have worked on — other than Mylene Farmer in 2009," he declares.
The features of the Vi6 have certainly found favour with Laurent. "Definitely the sound is my first goal — and I'm very happy with this desk. I also love the intuitive Vistonics touch screens and the MADI connection too — giving the ability to work in playback mode for virtual soundchecks.
Other features of the Vi highlighted by Laurent Midas are the 'isolate' channels and parameters — which he says are the most powerful and flexible that he has seen — the Aux VCA, the user-definable layers and the Fader-Glow colour-coded desk design.
Having entered the world of Soundcraft quite late on it seems there is now no turning back. "I now look forward to being able to save sessions which can be used right across the Soundcraft Vi portfolio — on Vi1, Vi2 Vi4 and Vi6 without trouble," he says.

Hawaii musician sentenced for marijuana smuggling
A 33-year-old musician from Hawaii who admitted smuggling marijuana inside drums on a flight from San Francisco to Honolulu has been sentenced to three months in jail and three months of home confinement.
Brian Kusko apologized to his family in federal court Tuesday afternoon before being sentenced for possessing about 20 pounds of marijuana with intent to distribute.
Kusko was also fined $20,000.
A plea agreement says Kusko checked in three drums to a Hawaiian Airlines flight in October 2012. Transportation Security Administration screeners in San Francisco found about 23 pounds of marijuana in one drum. The TSA seized the drugs and the drum, while allowing the other drums on board.
Authorities then examined the other drums in Hawaii, finding marijuana and hashish.

There's a saying in the fire service: When you go too long without any fires, be prepared: Something big is coming.While the films United 93 and World Trade Center are reenactments, this is the real deal.9/11 is a documentary film of the attack on the World Trade Center in New York City by brothers Jules and Gedeon Naudet (pronounced "No-day") and James Hanlon.It is comprised of footage they filmed as they followed a probationary firefighter, Tony Banatatos, in his journey to become a full fledged firefighter in New York City. As the weeks go by, the brothers get great footage of the life of firefighters, but none of any "real" fires.On the morning of September 11, 2001, Jules goes out with some of the firefighters to investigate a gas smell. He hears a loud rumble in the air and turns his camera upward... to capture one of only three known videos of the plane that hit the north tower of the World Trade Center. Jules accompanies the firefighters to the World Trade Center and films them (the only footage captured inside the towers that morning) as they do their best to handle the situation. While Jules follows these firefighters, he hears the second plane crash into the south tower. A bit later, the firefighters hear some rumbling, so they and Jules scramble to safety at the foot of an escalator as the first tower begins to collapse above them. Disoriented in the dust as it settles, Jules and the firefighters find their way outside. As the firefighters try to set up a second command center, the second tower collapses.Gedeon had remained at the firehouse that morning to capture Tony's reactions. He walks down to the World Trade Center and captures both the second plane hitting the south tower and the collapse of said tower.Both filmmakers survived the day. All of the firefighters from that station survived, too.CBS aired the documentary without commercial interruption on 10 March 2002, six months after the attacks. Steve Busceminote and Robert De Nironote hosted. The network later re-aired the documentary on the fifth and tenth anniversaries of the attacks.If you are thinking "This is all Real Life, how can there be tropes?", it's the tropes that make it interesting to watch whether they were intentionally put there or not.
—Robert De Niro, introducing this film for the first airing.

U.S. imposes 3-hour limit on tarmac delays
By Gary Stoller, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON Passenger-rights advocates won a major victory Monday when the Transportation Department announced a rule to let passengers stuck inside stranded planes disembark after three hours.
The rule, which will take effect in late April and applies only to domestic flights, prohibits airlines from letting an aircraft remain on an airport tarmac for more than three hours without deplaning passengers.
Exceptions are allowed for safety or security, or when air-traffic controllers notify a pilot in command that returning to a passenger terminal would disrupt airport operations.
The rule came as a pleasant surprise to consumer advocates who had grown frustrated that a bill in Congress to help stuck passengers was stalled.
"We have achieved our near-term goals of a mandatory three-hour rule, and it's akin to a Christmas miracle," says Kate Hanni, executive director of FlyersRights.org.
The DOT rule is a setback for airlines. They have strongly opposed a government-ordered time limit on how long they could keep passengers on planes stranded on tarmacs.
The Air Transport Association, which represents major U.S. airlines, says the rule will be detrimental to passengers.
"We will comply with the new rule even though we believe it will lead to unintended consequences — more canceled flights and greater passenger inconvenience," says James May, the association's president and CEO. "The requirement of having planes return to the gates within a three-hour window or face significant fines is inconsistent with our goal of completing as many flights as possible."
Last month, the Transportation Department for the first time fined airlines for leaving passengers stuck on a tarmac.
Continental Airlines and its regional airline partner, ExpressJet, were fined $100,000 for keeping passengers on a plane overnight at the Rochester, Minn., airport in August. Mesaba Airlines, which handled ground operations for the flight, was fined $75,000.
The incident, as well as other stranding incidents, a "high incidence of flight delays and other consumer problems," caused the DOT to establish the new three-hour rule, according to an agency news release.
The rule will apply to all U.S. passenger airlines operating flights with more than 30 seats, department spokeswoman Olivia Alair says. Commuter airlines flying planes with fewer seats must comply with the rule for all their flights if they operate any planes with more than 30 seats.
The rule requires U.S. airlines to adopt policies for tarmac delays on international flights. An airline with a policy allowing passengers off a plane after a certain number of hours during a delay might be subject to a fine if it doesn't adhere to its policy, Alair says.
Other provisions of the rule:
•It requires airlines to provide adequate food and water and operating restrooms for passengers delayed for two hours, as well as any necessary medical attention.
• It prohibits airlines from scheduling chronically delayed flights.
•It requires that airlines designate an employee to monitor the effects of flight delays and cancellations, give consumers information on where to file complaints and respond "in a timely and substantive fashion" to complaints.
•It requires airlines to display flight delay information on their websites for all domestic flights.
•It prohibits airlines from retroactively applying changes to their contracts of carriage — the conditions passengers agree to when buying tickets — that "could have a significant negative impact" on consumers who have already bought tickets.
"Airline passengers have rights, and these new rules will require airlines to live up to their obligation to treat their customers fairly," says Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.
The new rules are supported by business-travel groups and passengers who have experienced lengthy tarmac delays.
Passengers will "finally have hope and realistic expectations that there is an exit strategy if a flight is destined to remain excessively delayed," says Kevin Mitchell, chairman of the Business Travel Coalition, which represents about 300 corporate travel departments.
The Department of Transportation "showed great leadership in issuing landmark regulations to protect passengers," says Mike McCormick, executive director of the National Business Travel Association, which represents about 4,000 corporate travel managers and suppliers.
Link Christin, a college professor in St. Paul, who was stranded on the flight in Rochester, says he couldn't be more satisfied.
"It's a groundbreaking rule that will give some level of protection for the health and safety of millions of passengers in the future," Christin says.
Brad Dwin, president of a marketing and public relations company in Silver Spring, Md., spent about six hours on a United Airlines plane waiting to take off from metro Washington's Dulles International Airport in June. He says the new rule is "a major victory" for any passenger who has had to endure such a delay.
"It delivers a strong message to the airlines that they need to rethink how they handle passengers when there are delays," he says.
Airports Council International-North America, which represents North American airports handling nearly all airline passenger flights, commended the DOT for its actions and urged the agency to finalize other passenger-protection regulations under consideration.
The DOT plans to begin formulating other rules to "further strengthen protections for air travelers," the news release says. The agency is considering requiring airlines to submit plans for addressing lengthy tarmac delays to the DOT for review and approval; report additional tarmac delay data; provide more disclosure of baggage fees; and disclose the full fare for tickets in advertisements.
Hanni says she didn't envision the passage of so many passenger-rights rules when she founded Flyersrights.org after spending more than nine hours stuck on an American Airlines plane in Austin in December 2006.
"Dec. 29th will be three years since my family was stuck on the tarmac," she says. "We have since built a 27,000-person organization and worked from the wee hours of the morning until late at night to get legislation to protect the flying public."
Though she and her organization lobbied hard in Congress for the three-hour rule, they weren't optimistic.
"In our wildest dreams, we did not think we would get the three-hour rule," Hanni says. "This shows that the Obama administration took seriously its commitment to the flying public and the American people."

Anoka County is ordering extra ballots for the November presidential election, and inquiries by new voters are coming in at an eye-opening rate.
The percentage of eligible metro-area voters who will cast ballots in November's presidential election will be the highest in half a century, predicts a former state elections director -- so high that Anoka County has doubled its request for ballots.
"That would be wise," said Joe Mansky, Ramsey County elections manager and former state elections director. "Statewide, we expect 80 percent of our eligible voters to vote. You'd have to go back to the 1950s to find a percentage higher than what we'll see in November."
The intrigue and anticipation that has created record turnouts in many of the nation's primaries is expected to be magnified in Minnesota, with its strong political traditions and a Senate race that may accelerate pulses by November.
Minnesota mandates that each county order an excess of ballots -- enough to cover 118 percent of its current voters -- with the anticipation that many new voters will have registered by November.
But Anoka County has gotten so many inquiries from prospective new voters that the county will order enough ballots to cover 200 percent of its current voters, said Rachel Smith, the county's election manager.
"The last time we got nearly as many calls from young people was when Jesse Ventura ran for governor" in 1998, Smith said.
Each week, more than 200 prospective voters mail registration cards to Anoka County officials, while another 30 inquire about voter registration in person, Smith said. It's a stark contrast, Smith said, to 2006, when there was no presidential election, but a proposed Vikings stadium in Blaine was still a hot-button political issue in Anoka County, where three commissioners' seats were at stake.
"Anoka County voters tend to be independent, not affiliating with one party or another," Smith said, explaining that calls to county offices are not just coming from Democrats anticipating a historic run by Barack Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Many of the inquiries Anoka receives are from young voters, Smith said, but not all. Voters hoping to cast absentee ballots are calling early.
"The turnout for the primaries and caucuses has been universally high," Mansky said. "Traditionally, registration and voting has been related to education, home ownership, income. But this year, we're looking for high turnouts across the board.
"You can assume in the metro area, the DFL voter turnout will be high. But this could be the highest overall turnout we've seen any time."

Emil Lou, MD, PhD received a Mezin-Koats Colon Cancer Research Award from the Masonic Cancer Center. The Mezin-Koats Colon Cancer Research Award, designed to support research that advances the treatment of colon cancer, will support Dr. Lou and his research team in their efforts to determine whether tunneling nanotubes act as a physical conduit for intercellular transfer of oncogenic KRAS and miRNAs in colon cancer. Long and narrow, tunneling nanotubes are membrane structures that provide a physical channel for the transfer of cellular contents from one cell to another. Dr. Lou's studies will examine the role of tunneling nanotubes in mediating direct intercellular transfer of oncogenic KRAS and microRNAs and their effects on recipient tumor cells. The ultimate goal of Dr. Lou's project is to establish a novel biologic mechanism of cancer cell communication that can be targeted with inhibitors of tunneling nanotubes.

Warren Buffett says economy still improving slowlyMay 3, 2013 @ 7:41 am
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Investor Warren Buffett believes that the economy and the U.S. job market will continue to improve, but slowly.
In an interview that aired Friday, Buffett said business has been creeping upward at his Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate.
"The economy is improving, not at a rapid clip, but this country has done well since 2008 _ certainly compared to the rest of the world," Buffett said to CNBC.
Buffett thinks it would be extraordinary if the Federal Reserve were to expand its bond-buying program beyond the current $85 billion a month level. The Fed said Wednesday that it would consider buying more if the economy needs help.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke needs some help from elsewhere to get the economy moving faster, Buffett said. Bernanke has urged Congress to do more to stimulate hiring and growth.
On Saturday, Buffett will take questions in front of more than 30,000 people at Berkshire's annual meeting.
In a separate interview with the Fox Business Network on Friday, Buffett tried to reassure Berkshire shareholders that they shouldn't worry about his successor.
The 82-year-old billionaire said he isn't concerned about who will next lead four companies in which Berkshire invests nearly $50 billion, such as Coca-Cola, IBM, Wells Fargo and American Express.
"I don't know who's going to succeed the present CEOs there and in every case, each one of the four they have changed CEOs since we started buying the stock in certain cases more than once," Buffett said. "I never knew who they were going to be. I knew they'd pick good people."
Buffett said Berkshire's board spends more time discussion succession planning than any other topic. But Buffett has no plans to retire. He has said Berkshire's board has picked someone to succeed him as CEO if the need arises immediately, and it has two backup candidates. But Buffett won't publicly identify his successor, partly because he has said the candidates could change over time.
Currently, all of the CEO candidates on Berkshire's short list are men, but Buffett said that could change.
"Maybe 10 years or 15 years from now it will be a she. I hope it is," he said.
Berkshire plans to split Buffett's job into three parts when he no longer leads the company. The next CEO will run Berkshire, but two others hired by Buffett in recent years will oversee investment. Buffett wants his oldest son to succeed him as chairman.
Berkshire owns more than 80 subsidiaries, including railroad, clothing, furniture and jewelry firms. Its insurance and utility businesses typically account for more than half of the company's net income. The Omaha, Neb., company also has major investments.

Scenario General Wisdom?
Posted 17 February 2009 - 03:39 PM
btw if anyone goes to Black River Paintball in Angier, NC join the Order of Disorder in the Hunt for Red October.
Posted 17 February 2009 - 05:23 PM
Point is, make everyone feel included.
2. Keep the game going with the bigger picture in mind - don't so overfocus on the present without any thought of the future.
3. Recruit, recruit, recruit -- spread the word through local means: local paintball stores, local area forums, word of mouth at paintball fields, etc. The more people you can rally to an event makes it more successful for you, the event producer, and really everyone. We all love a big scenario.
4. Never show signs of demoralization, fatigue, or frustration -- this can and likely will demoralize your own players.
5. Take all news from the front professionally, congratulate people on a job well done as appropriate.
6. Don't snap at or "boss around" players -- be serious and professional, but don't yell at them. They came to have fun, same as you, and nobody likes a general taking the game too seriously. Don't be in a rush to shove them out of the reinsertion point - let them get water (see 7).
7. Hydration -- make sure everyone on the field is getting adequate water. Pull a player who clearly is overdoing before he hurts himself. Best of all, bring a big jug of water (think like a sports' team on the sidelines of their events) in the deadbox or your HQ (if it's a safe area where masks can come off) and cheap disposable cups. Give water to the underprepared or to the ones who have just done a difficult task and are showing signs of exhaustion and need a rest.
This is my experience as a command officer (have yet to general an event, but XO/other logisitics while the general was away -- one game we had a general who was so ill he appointed three of us to keep the show running for him).
Posted 17 February 2009 - 05:32 PM
Case in point: My own team had done decently in a variety of scenario games, but we were never able to join the inner sanctum and get the juicy missions. The first game our general would even talk to us, we were out there in the field capping flags like it was nobody's business. The game after that, once we had synergized, we killed the enemy base for him. We're unsponsored, totally unprofessional looking, most of our gear has an unhealthy amount of duct tape on us... My point is give everybody a chance and you'll get some good results.

little back ground on me i'm actually a walk on player. my friend and i were angry at the previous General in the last game because he treated the walk-ons like bodies and not useful assets. so i applied and got it. i want to prove what a walk on player can do so i'm not afraid of asking them to run the "important mission".

Get past being polite. If you are running a team, and its your job to make it happen, do it!
Tell your guys. For example, i have a light guy on my team goes by reaper.
If we're in the middle of a big firefight, i dont go "um, excuse me, hey.. dude. mind goin over there to shoot at those guys?"
Its more like REAPER GET OVER TO THE RIGHT FLANK NOW! COVER FIRE!
And thats how it goes. And the thing is too, if you are playing with a bunch of new rec kids, they start to feel like they are in the army and they WILL listen.
Simple psychology i guess. Look like a soldier, behave like one, everyone thinks you are.

Keep a sense of humor & make sure all your players HAVE FUN.
Things will go wrong, plans will fall apart, and the enemy is rarely where you want them. Get used to it...

My team held steady at the line of skirmish. Then, the horn sounded... the ref came over the radio, asking more than stating, that my team had succeeded. Apparently, a first timer (a friend of mine) had listened to the plan and followed it blindly... and alone. He never fired a shot, just ran past all the defenders then walked up to the base, blew the horn... then got shot from three hundred and sixty degrees.
He will remember that story every time someone mentions paintball. Give folks opportunities like that.
Also, don't be so preoccupied with your brilliant strategy. Strategy is good, but remember its about the players, not you. I made the mistake, later in the same game, of setting up an impenetrable defense. My team got bored, the other team got discouraged... no one was having much fun. It could have been the scene of an awesome firefight that everyone would have loved and talked about for years to come. Instead, I'm the only one who'll remember it.
Don't be so concerned with not loosing, sometimes the best strategies for winning are really boring.

Eat a lot of protein before and after the game, and don't invest your hopes into one particular plan. It will ALWAYS fail.
More to come later.

Bevilacqua, 55, who will become the 77th Chancellor of America's oldest big-city bar association on January 1 made his remarks to more than 400 of his colleagues at the Association's Annual Meeting luncheon at the Park Hyatt Hotel.
Bevilacqua, a Philadelphia resident and a partner with the center-city firm of Saul Ewing also reiterated the bar's support of a non-elective, merit-selection system for selecting judges at the appellate court level. "We must appoint appellate judges. But until that ultimate better way becomes a reality, we must do a better job of advising and guising the voters," he declared.
With an eye on the Commerce Court to handle business-related cases Bevilacqua said that he would work with "the state Supreme Court, the leadership of the First Judicial District, our legislature and all appropriate parties" to create the new court."

Rebuilding the site!
November 2, 2011 in Uncategorized by pbb
After the site crashed at the end of April we held out hope that the host would recover the site from the supposed nightly backups, but they answered none of our support tickets, forum posts, or e-mails (apparently we weren't the only ones getting this treatment). We've finally decided to rebuild the site from scratch. It won't look exactly like it did, but we felt Project Book Babe should live on.
The site will continue to be a monument to the original event thrown for Faith Hochhalter on April 4th, 2009.
We are considering resurrecting the event to help others survive breast cancer.

Jeremy Morin, RW
Shoots: R
Height: 6-1
Weight: 189
Born: 1991-4-16
Hometown: Auburn, NY
Drafted: 2009 2nd round 45th overall – Atlanta Thrashers
March 2014 - Jeremy Morin was named the CCM/AHL Player of the Month earning a point in all 11 contests in the month of February. The point-per-game AHLer notched nine goals and 18 points in 11 games helping the Rockford IceHogs to an unbeaten 9-0-1-1 record. Morin is very close to making the full-time jump to the Chicago Blackhawks and should be owned in most keeper formats. Brendan Ross
June 2013- Morin turned in his best pro season as he finished third on the Icehogs in points with 58. The 58 points represented a healthy 18 point jump from the previous season. He still racked up 86 PIM, but the decrease there from his high of 121 shows he's learning to play more disciplined hockey, but without abandoning his physical style. Depending on how the 'Hawks go about creating space under the new, lower, salary cap, the door may be opened a bit for guys like Morin to make the roster next season. That said, it's still most likely that Morin plays the majority of the 2013-14 season in Rockford. Rex Doty
March 2012 – Morin was a highly touted American prospect coming out of the USNTDP and also the OHL's Kitchener Rangers. He is a good stick handler with a decent shot, but his skating ability has caught up with him in his first two pro seasons. He definitely isn't afraid to play the physical game and work the corners penalty minutes are outpacing the goal output in the AHL. Russ Bitely
Fantasy Outlook: B-
Morin possesses the goal-scoring touch but has yet to demonstrate consistently at the pro level. May play too rough a style to stay healthy long enough to develop top-line ability.
Jeremy Morin scoring the overtime, game-winning goal for Rockford IceHogs on 2/26/2012.
Fantasy Prospects Report Notes (Any FPR's released in the last 18 months will not be listed here):
2009 Fantasy Prospects Report:
Scouting Report: Always known and coveted for his size and natural gifts around the net, Jeremy Morin likely saved his status as a top-45 pick with a strong World U18s. Despite leading the NTDP in goals, it was an up and down year for Morin as the program experienced a number of difficulties. Issues such as motivation, skating ability and the ability to keep it cool came to the fore during a cold streak in the second half. However, Morin put that all behind him with a star-making performance for Team USA. Morin finished tied for third in tournament goals (six), the same total top-10 pick Magnus Paajarvi potted. There's no denying the big man's terrific skill and willingness to agitate opponents; his skating has also improved, a huge plus.
Notable Numbers: Despite scoring 13 goals on the man-advantage, Morin still led the NTDP in even-strength goals (20).
Potential: Corey Perry, 30-40-70, 100 PIM
Years Away: 3-4

Portuguese Timor
For Woolcott and Cooper
In our O.CH2799661 we asked you to advise the Indonesians of our extreme disappointment that they have found it necessary to resort to large-scale military intervention in Portuguese Timor. You were also asked to advise the Indonesians that the Australian Government would need to refer publicly to the fact of having made these representations to the Indonesians when the full extent of Indonesian involvement in Portuguese Timor became public knowledge.
- In the event, there has been no effective response from the Indonesians to our representations or to the ideas we have expressed about alternative approaches to the problem of Portuguese Timor. The Indonesians show no sign oflimiting the extent of their involvement in Portuguese Timor. Recent press and other reports of Indonesian military involvement in Portuguese Timor, including in particular those relating to the fate of the five Australian journalists, have increased the pressure of public opinion on the Australian Government to the point where Australian Ministers see no alternative to making the sort of public statement foreshadowed in your conversation with Malik (JA24982).
- Our immediately following telegram contains the text of a statement which the Minister wishes to deliver in the Senate tomorrow morning, 30 October. We should be grateful for your urgent comments on possible drafting changes. You should know, however, that the Minister has approved the text as is, and has also shown it to the Prime Minister.
- You will see from the third paragraph of the text that the Minister wishes to inform the Parliament that Australia has acted in Lisbon and Jakarta to express the hope that the Portuguese and Indonesian Governments will approach their talks later this week in a positive and constructive manner. We should be grateful if both Ambassadors could act accordingly.
- The Minister's intention to make a statement may be conveyed to both Governments. There would be no objections to providing both Governments with the text on the basis that it is confidential until delivery, and that the text may be subject to late amendments.
Australian assistance has far exceeded that provided by any other country. As far as we know New Zealand is the only other government to have announced a contribution-of $NZ25, to the ICRC, although a number of national Red Cross societies may have offered small contributions.
For Jakarta only
- In conveying this advice to the Indonesians, you should repeat Australian Ministers' continuing desire to limit as far as possible damage to relations between the two countries as the result of their differing approaches to Portuguese Timor. The terms in which the Minister's statement are couched reflect that continuing desire.

Vogue 2671 c. 1980s - Anne Klein Jumpsuit
Very loose-fitting dress or straight-legged jumpsuit has extended shoulders, below waistline seam, partially elasticized self-drawstring, self or contrast pants and skirt and side seam pockets. Pants have narrow hem. Edgestitch and topstitch.
Fabrics: Soft or crisp fabrics: lightweight crepe, silk broadcloth, challis, tissue faille, gauze and crepe de chine.
The yellow jumpsuit is the item I sewed with this pattern in the early 80s, using a butter cream yellow crepe de chine. A terrible color for me actually, but I was still a few years away from having my colors analyzed. Turned out that I was a winter and yellow - especially light yellows 0 are one color I could never wear.
The jumpsuit was sewn to wear when I went dancing. You know, jumpsuits were really popular and some of them were really cute, but they sure weren't very practical for wearing any length of time!
Labels: 1980's, Anne Klein, designer pattern, Dress, Jumpsuit, Vogue

Hi Sharon,
I've been reading your Sharon Sews blog for several months now, but just discovered this blog. Love It!
I too made the Vogue jumpsuit sometime in '80 or '81. I think it was a rayon turqoise orchid flower print. Wore it to death. I do seem to remember going to the ladies room was rather difficult--lots of acrobatics!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

* * * * * Noveller – Desert Fires * * * * *
Noveller is the solo project of Brooklyn-based sound artist and filmmaker [ Sarah Lipstate ]. She has performed in [ Rhys Chatham's ] Guitar Army, and as a member of [ Glenn Branca's ] 100 guitar ensemble. In March 2008, Lipstate joined Brooklyn art-rock outfit Parts & Labor as their guitarist. She contributed to the band's critically-acclaimed release Receivers and completed several U.S. and European tours before leaving the band in July 2009.
Last year [ Lipstate ] performed as part of the Underground at the Abrons performance series at the Abrons Arts Center on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. In December, she played at the Un Son Par Là, Music of Today festival in Nîmes, France. She recently performed in the revival of [ Rhys Chatham ] and [ Karole Armitage's ] " Drastic-Classicism " as part of the Think Punk! program at The Kitchen in NYC.
Following that performance, she joined [ Rhys Chatham ] and his cast of guitar-allstars at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for a performance of his minimalist punk classic " Guitar Trio ". Along with 199 other guitar players, Lipstate performed in Chatham's " A Crimson Grail " for 200 guitars which debuted at Lincoln Center's Damrosch Park in August 2009.
In April, No Fun Productions released her debut LP Paint on the Shadows. Following the release, Lipstate performed at No Fun Fest at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn. In September, the label released her full-length CD follow-up titled Red Rainbows and Lipstate performed at No Fun Fest Sweden in Stockholm.
Her short films screened at the SXSW film festival in both 2006 and 2007, and earned Lipstate the " Diamond in the Rough Cut " award for exceptional emerging filmmaker at Cinematexas 2006. Her short, Memory Scars, screened at the Reel Venus Film Festival at Anthology Film Archives in NYC in October 2008. She debuted a new short film, Interior Variations, at the New Museum in NYC as part of No Fun: Infinite Sound and Image in May.
She has previously performed as a member of Cold Cave, Parts & Labor, One Umbrella and Sands. Lipstate received a BS in Radio-Television-Film at the University of Texas at Austin in December 2006, and currently resides in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY.
[ Desert Fire ] Opening track, " Almost Alright " stakes claim to ground in territory charted by Fripp & Eno or synth-heavy contemporaries Emeralds, and leads the listener into the spacious, sprawling landscape of 'Desert Fires'. " Kites Calm Desert Fires " is a sandstorm of rich, percussive guitar, warm humming bass and swirling rhapsodic chimes.
" Toothnest (for Chris Habib) " arrives at an idyllic sonic plateau of windswept fuzz and tremolo, then charges blindly with a soaring guitar solo evocative of bagpipes triumphantly marking a return from battle. Closing track " Fades " is the precipitate of a fragile complexity of deeply sensual sonic reactions-physically pairing texture, air and chance with the strings of Lipstate's guitar—it exposes the emulsion of one's ears to the light of Noveller's sounds.

National League Game Summary - Washington at San Diego
(Saturday, May 18th)
Final Score: San Diego 2, Washington 1
San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - Everth Cabrera hit the go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning and Eric Stults outlasted Washington starter Jordan Zimmermann in a pitchers' duel, as the San Diego Padres downed the Nationals, 2-1, in the third installment of a four-game set at Petco Park.
Stults (4-3) tossed eight stellar frames, allowing just one run and four hits, while striking out five for the Padres, who dropped the first two games of the series. Yonder Alonso added a homer in the victory.
"We were, again, not real patient," Nationals first baseman Adam LaRoche said. "He (Stults) was throwing that changeup down and away, slow curveball, slider, spotting the heater."
One night after absorbing a heartbreaking, 6-5, loss in the 10th, Huston Street picked up his 10th save of the season, despite walking two batters in the ninth.
Steve Lombardozzi tied the game in the sixth with an RBI single for the Nationals. Zimmermann (7-2) lasted eight innings, allowing seven hits and two runs -- one earned -- and fanned six, though it was his error in the eighth which kept alive San Diego's rally to score the eventual game-winner.
With one down and Alexi Amarista on first base, Zimmermann tried a pickoff throw, but his errant toss to first allowed Amarista to advance to second. Cabrera made Zimmermann pay, as he ripped a single up the middle for the difference-maker.
With Zimmermann still on the hill entering the eighth, the Padres broke a 1-1 tie thank's to the right-hander's error.
Amarista, who pinch-hit for Stults, reached first on a bunt fielder's choice to make it one out. Zimmermann's pickoff attempt went wide of LaRoche and advanced Amarista before Cabrera changed the game on one swing.
From the start, it was clear both pitchers brought their best effort, while each team's offenses took a back seat.
The only scoring early on came from Alonso, who led off the second with a shot down the right field line. The lefty crushed Zimmermann's inside 1-0 offering over the wall.
Stults, meanwhile, stifled the Nationals' lineup and failed to allow a hit through the first five innings. The first batter he faced in the sixth, however, Kurt Suzuki, singled to right.
"When he's on like he was on tonight, it's fun to play behind him." Padres second baseman Jedd Gyorko said.
It would be the least of the left-hander's problems of the frame.
Suzuki advanced to second on Zimmermann's sacrifice bunt. Following Denard Span's fly out to center, Lombardozzi then tied the game with a single to right.
"That's a game that Stults is capable of," San Diego manager Bud Black said. "I thought the inside fastball was extremely effective. Especially to right- handed hitters and I thought he had a really good change. So the fastball - change combo was outstanding."
Game Notes
The Padres reinstated outfielder Carlos Quentin from the paternity list and optioned pitcher Brad Brach to Triple-A Tucson on Saturday ... LaRoche's single in the seventh extended his hitting streak to 15 games ... Zimmermann, who threw his third complete game of the season, was also looking to become the MLB's first eight-game winner ... The game lasted 2 hours and 1 minute ... It was the shortest Padres game at Petco Park since August 23, 2005.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Not happy with your job? Just wait.
A study by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that 9 in 10 workers who are age 50 or older say they are very or somewhat satisfied with their job. Older workers reported satisfaction regardless of gender, race, educational level, political ideology and income level.
Consider Oscar Martinez.
If Disneyland truly is the happiest place on earth, Martinez may be one of its happiest workers.
Never mind that at 77, the chef already has done a lifetime of work. Or that he must rise around 3 a.m. each day to catch a city bus in time for breakfast crowds at Carnation Café, one of the park's restaurants. With 57 years under his apron, he is Disneyland's longest-serving employee.
"To me, when I work, I'm happy," said Martinez, who's not sure he ever wants to retire.
Though research has shown people across age groups are more likely to report job satisfaction than dissatisfaction, older workers consistently have expressed more happiness with their work than younger people have.
The AP-NORC survey found significant minorities of people reporting unwelcome comments at work about their age, being passed over for raises and promotions, and other negative incidents related to being older. But it was far more common to note the positive impact of their age.
Six in 10 said colleagues turned to them for advice more often and more than 4 in 10 said they felt they were receiving more respect at work.
Older workers generally have already climbed the career ladder, increased their salaries and reached positions where they have greater security, so more satisfaction makes sense, says Tom Smith, director of the General Social Survey, one of the most comprehensive polls of American attitudes.
"It increases with age," said Smith, whose biannual survey is conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago. "The older you are, the more of all these job-related benefits you're going to have."
Looking at the 40-year history of the GSS, the share of people saying they are very or moderately satisfied with their jobs rises steadily with each ascending age group, from just above 80 percent for those under 30 to about 92 percent for those 65 and older.
But as in the AP-NORC survey, the age gap grows among those who derive the greatest satisfaction from their work, as 38 percent of young adults express deep satisfaction compared with 63 percent age 65 and up.
Smith says earlier in life, people are uncertain what career path they want to take and may be stuck in jobs they despise. Though some older workers stay on the job out of economic necessity, many others keep working because they can't imagine quitting and genuinely like their jobs.
Eileen Sievert of Minneapolis can relate.
The French literature professor at the University of Minnesota used to think she would be retired by 65. But she's 70 now and grown to love her work so much, it became hard to imagine leaving. She's instead just scaled back her hours through a phased-retirement program.
"I just like the job," she said. "And you don't want to leave, but you don't want to stay too long."
Walter Whitmore, 58, of Silver Springs, Ark., feels the same. He says he has plenty of things to occupy him outside of his account representative job at a grocery distributor, but having a reason to get out of the house each day brings a certain level of fulfillment. He sees working as keeping him vibrant.
"It wasn't a goal to live to do nothing. You live to accomplish things," he said. "You have to maintain that functionality or you turn into Jell-O."
Robert Schuffler, 96, still reports for work most days at the fish market he opened in Chicago decades ago. He has turned over ownership to a longtime employee, but he can't imagine not seeing the customers he has known so long, and who still show up with a warm smile, a kiss for Shuffler and a shopping list. His job does more than just keep him feeling young: It keeps him happy.
"It's like some guy would make a million dollars today," he said. "He's very happy with the day. I'm very happy being here."
Associated Press Director of Polling Jennifer Agiesta and News Survey Specialist Dennis Junius contributed to this report.

The following is excerpted from the CA Redevelopment Association's Executive Director Update
In the face of a threatened veto by the Governor, the Legislature made changes last Friday to the budget passed a week ago having to do with a new "rainy day" fund and increased income tax withholdings, but left intact a $350 million take of redevelopment funds. The Governor is expected to sign the budget bills tomorrow.
Because the take of redevelopment funds violates Article XVI, Section 16 of the California Constitution, which specifies that tax increment must go to redevelopment agencies, the CRA Board of Directors is considering whether to file a lawsuit against the State. If the Board decides to proceed, local government plaintiffs will be needed to join the suit.
The estimated amount for each redevelopment agency's ERAF shift is posted on the CRA website, www.calredevelop.org, under "Impact of $350 million Take Away."
To gather information for a possible lawsuit CRA needs to hear from agencies that will be adversely impacted by this take of local funds. We need specific details of projects that will be eliminated or critically diminished because of the cuts. In addition to a description of the project, details should include the costs, the purpose of the project, and financing and timing issues. Please contact John Shirey at firstname.lastname@example.com or (916) 448-8760, if your agency is interested in joining a possible lawsuit as a plaintiff. (Costs of the lawsuit will be paid by CRA.) Please send information about the impacts to Lillian Henegar at firstname.lastname@example.com or (916) 448-8760.
Agencies considering filing a lawsuit on their own are asked not do so without first contacting CRA.

Student Life
Student Services
The Career Development Center is a link between the world of education and life after St. Mary's College. This office will provide assistance in getting into graduate school or finding that important first job and will also teach job search skills that are needed throughout one's lifetime. Most students have a difficult time deciding on a career path to pursue. Advising is available for assessment of interests, abilities, and work-related values. An extensive collection of online and print resources on career planning, occupational exploration, job searching, and graduate and professional school is available.
Throughout the year, workshops and programs are presented on a wide variety of career-related topics: career exploration, résumé writing, interviewing skills, job-search strategies, and graduate school application. The end product of the career development process is a self-directed student, able to compete for entry-level positions or graduate programs.
Part-time and summer employment are crucial sources of funds for students financing their own education. The Career Development staff encourages students to find employment that is career-related, as career-related experience is a valuable component of a student's education and career development. The office is committed to assisting students in finding career-related experiences, including credit and non-credit internships, and paid employment on and off campus.
Counseling Services, located in Chance Hall, is staffed by licensed professionals. Our therapists assist, at no cost, full-time students with academic, family, or personal concerns. The college years represent a period of transition and change for almost everyone, and at times a need to talk about concerns and issues may arise. The counselors can provide assistance to students dealing with issues such as stress, interpersonal relationships, concern over life goals, alcohol and drug abuse, mood, sexuality, or academics. Psychological assessment, psychiatric care, and ongoing therapy are available through counseling services. Groups, workshops, and consultations are also available. Our services follow the ethical guidelines of the American Counseling Association. If a student requires specialized treatment that falls outside our scope of practice, he or she will be appropriately referred.
The Health Center, located in Chance Hall, offers limited outpatient medical services to all full-time students by qualified medical personnel. It is a member of the American College Health Association. Appointments for the clinic may be made Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday. Emergency and after-hours care is provided through local urgent-care clinics and area hospitals. Students are strongly advised to carry an individual health insurance policy that covers them for laboratory, x-ray, emergency services, and hospitalization, none of which are covered by student fees. The College does not endorse or sponsor any particular health insurance plan. However, information on several student health insurance plans is available through the Health Center.
The Counseling and Health Center is a resource for health and wellness education and information, providing resources and teaching skills that will assist students in making health lifestyle choices now and in the future. Under the direction and guidance of the wellness advocate, programs on a variety of topics and issues are presented throughout the academic year. Alcohol and other drugs, sexuality, healthy relationships, smoking cessation, and body image are some of the topics addressed. Students interested in being involved in health education should contact the wellness advocate.
The Public Safety Office has the responsibility of providing safety and security for persons and property within the College. The staff provides this and other services to the campus community 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Some of the services provided include crime prevention, criminal investigation, temporary and visitor parking permits, and bicycle registration. The office is also a prime source of information about the campus and the surrounding community.
All student-owned and -operated motor vehicles must be properly registered with the College before parking in any College-regulated lot. Vehicle registration permits may be purchased at the Business Office. All visitors must register at the Public Safety Office and obtain a temporary parking permit.

Wedding Song Help
by Rocky
posted Apr 23 2013 6:22PM
Lisa called the show this morning asking for help picking out a wedding song. She'll be walking down the aisle in a few months but doesn't want to use the traditional wedding march.
We got some GREAT ideas from you guys.
What was YOUR wedding song? How did the crowd react?
Add to the list. Lisa will be checking my Blog for more ideas.
I had "Trumpeter's Voluntary" and was able to get trumpeters & violinists thru Singers Guild that were associated with King's College.
"Grow Old with You" from the Wedding Singer.
We walked into the reception to Hulk Hogan's original theme.
My husband and I got married at Disney world and we have 2 children that love Indiana Jones so we walked down the aisle to the theme song of Indiana Jones.
My daughter had the regular bridal march on the way down the aisle but on the way up the aisle my son in law had "Highway to Hell" played. We thought it was funny, but I don't think the minister did!
Tom Petty "Here Comes My Girl."
I tried to get my wife to walk down to the theme song from Jaws but she wouldn't do it.
We played the instrumental to "Make You Feel My Love." But we also played the instrumental to Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters."
"Here and Now" Luther Vandross as I walked down the aisle. "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" when we were pronounced husband and wife!
The Penn State fight song with the Nittany Lion walking us in.
I walked down to a portion of the Romanian national anthem. I was born in Romania so it was very special.
"Highway to Hell." Oh that's what should have been playing, it was really "Pachelbel Cannon."
I walked down to "Think of Me" from Phantom of the Opera...just the instrumental.
"Cannon in D"

Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park
About Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park
Previously known as one of Key Largo's "best-kept secrets," this park has become a favorite of residents and tourists alike. Visitors quickly become stewards for the environment, as the park is home to 84 protected species of plants and animals. Created to protect the unique status as a tropical hardwood forest in the United States, the park's focal point is a self-guided nature walk along the main trail. At the "circle" one will find a native plant butterfly garden and a picnic table (please pack out your trash). In early fall, visitors may still need insect repellent and long sleeves and pants to ward off the mosquitoes. As the warm rainy season gives way to the cooler dry season, the mosquitoes will disappear.
The Port Bougainville Trail extension lengthens your walk by one or two miles on the loop trail. Use of this trail no longer requires a backcountry permit, but visitors must stay on the designated path. Additional backcountry trails may be explored simply by completing a backcountry permit at the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park Ranger Station.
The park operates on the honor system, so please fill out an envelope, enclose your entrance fee and deposit in the 'Iron Ranger.' Your support of this unique gem of a Florida State Park will ensure survival of its environment for generations to come. Explore and enjoy the park today!
- The main entrance and marked nature trail at Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park is located on Monroe County Road 905, approximately .5 miles north of County Road 905's intersection with U.S. Highway 1 at Mile Marker 106.
- For forms, information and benefits of volunteering visit Get Involved.
- Florida State Parks Pet Policy
- Pets are permitted in the picnic areas, along the sea wall, bike trails and hiking trails. Service animals are welcome in all areas of the park, as required by law.
