When I went to Switzerland this summer I had plenty of time to contemplate living life alone. There was nobody to call in Zurich to hang out with until the wee hours of the morning. I couldn't share a walk along the romantic Chapel Bridge at sunset in Lucerne. Nor could I experience with someone the amazingly steep Mt. Pilatus Railway that arrives at the top of Obwalden. Every experience is locked up in my memory. What a shame words nor pictures can do them justice.
Although a week of traveling alone isn't a long time period at all, I've realized I fear being alone as much as I fear being broke. I did everything I could after high school to make sure I wouldn't have to depend on anybody to survive. I'm not sure I can say the same for finding companionship since my family has always been there. It's like I've taken them for granted. I've also never not been in a relationship since college as luck would have it.
If I didn't take companionship for granted, I'd probably be a nicer, more patient person. I'd probably exercise more and eat less lemon meringue pie. I might even try and learn some jokes. Alas, I've got a ways to go.
Popping over to Mallorca after Switzerland with nine other people in a villa only buttressed such fears of loneliness. We literally went out every single night to unspoken amounts of fun. We'd sleep in the next morning, make us some jamon with slices of honeydew by the pool for brunch, hit the clay courts after and then relax on a nearby beach before going out all night again. It was one extreme to another, neither of which I could handle for an extended duration of time. But if I were to choose, I would select being surrounded by interesting people any day.
We want to spend as much time with someone who likes us as much as we like them. Unfortunately, the pain is unbearable when you discover the other side doesn't feel the same.
This simple concept is scalable to practically everything that involves another person. As a landlord, I get a huge urge to want to select a prospective tenant who just crows on about how much she loves the place. At work, all I want to do is sing someone's praises if they sing back. You can see the harmony demonstrated every time a maitre d greets her regulars. There's something about reciprocity that generates so much positive energy.
It's not fair to say that there's someone out there for everyone if you are already with someone. Yes there are billions of people on Earth, but that just makes folks feel worse when they've got nobody.
Traveling has allowed me to re-kindle old relationships and discover new relationships I never thought possible. Traveling takes us out of our comfort zone and forces us to speak to other people much in the same way as a new kid does at school.
For those of you who are able to travel for extended periods of time alone, I'd love to know how you do it. One suggestion given to me by a nomadic traveler was to stick to hostels. Hotels simply close you off to the world, while hostels open you up to endless possibilities. What else?
What about those of you who are more introverted by nature. What are some of things that allow you to enjoy the silence? I understand being an introvert doesn't mean you don't want to be with someone. I'm just trying to get some perspective to tame my restless soul.
Perhaps the problem is that I never got to be a crazy 20-something year old after college because I was so busy working so I didn't have to work forever. It's as if I grew up too fast and am trying to make up for things now. Does anybody feel the same way?

Big Ruby 2013
Tobi Lutke wrote the first line of code for Shopify nearly 10 years ago to power his own Snowboard shop. Two years later Shopify launched to the public on a single webserver using Rails 0.13.1. Today Shopify powers over 40k online stores and processes up to half a million product sales per day across the platform. Over 30 people actively work on Shopify which makes it the longest developed and likely largest Rails code base out there.
This is the story of how Shopify has evolved to handle its immense growth over the years. This is what getting big is all about: evolving to meet the needs of your customers. You don't start out with a system and infrastructure that can handle a billion dollar in GMV. You evolve to it. You evolve by adding caching layers, hardware, queuing systems and splitting your application to services.
This is the story of how we have tackled the various scaling pain points that Shopify has hit and what we have done to surpass them, what we are doing to go even further.

Must I join a gym in order to learn strength training with a trainer? I don't have any equipment at home and don't know if someone can do this at home without equipment. Will a trainer come to my house to teach me if I have no equipment? |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are two main issues with starting an exercise program. Incorrect posture(injuries happen this way) and pushing too hard,too fast being impatient(same outcome!). Fitness for health doesn't go to the fastest or the strongest.It goes to those who keep on keeping on at a steady,resonable pace. I'd start with a trainer to get help in those 2 very important areas. I'd go with someone I trusted on a gut level as well. I'm sure there are trainers that will come to your house but I've never done that so I don't know what they'd expect or charge. Good luck! PJ |

Actually, I'm a personal trainer that owns my own in-home training business. I use a variety of equipment that I bring to the clients house (stability balls, bowflex adjustable dumbells, flex-tubes, medicine balls etc.) and I've been doing this for the last seven years. (I worked in a gym before that). In anycase, pjtexgirl is right about starting with a trainer to be assessed for any current muscle imbalances and to learn good form and appropriate training regimes. I think if you go to websites like Acefitness.org or NASM.org, they both list certified trainers all over the US. That would be a good start to find a certified personal trainer. I don't want to break any rules, so I hope posting this general sites is ok. Cost depends on your area. |

Great for small cakes
Pros: easily adjustable, cuts well for the price
Cons: wire breaks eventually, there is a small hump in the very center or the cake after leveled
I used these for years, and still have a couple. I bought about 5 over the years, mostly because they are so insubstantial, I would lose them! They work plenty well enough for a hobby, but will not cut through a crust, or a large cake. I got around this by placing the wire up against the cake, and cutting it with a knife, then the wire would cut all the way through. And to cut a large cake, you can use this to score and cut the first few inches all the way around the cake, then use the cuts to guide a long knife the rest of the way through.
I did have one that the wire broke, but I fixed it by replacing the wire with a piece of thin wire, by just measuring, then looping the ends around and twisting with pliers. And I found it worked better without the rubber feet. The rubber would catch, and the wire would skidder through the cake leaving a jagged cut. Pull them off, and you get a good cut.
Now I have a $300 cake leveler, that is 300 times better, but this works great with my fixes if $300 for a leveler isn't in your budget. It is a lot easier to adjust than the expensive one, that's for sure.

Giving all the ladies something to drool over, Orlando Bloom turned up on the Durham, North Carolina set of "Main Street" today (April 14) in a fireman's uniform.

I really want to get a haircut I think. Well, it changes on my day and my mood. At the moment I'm sure I'm male. So I want to get a haircut. Not a buzz cut. But I have thick and curly/wavy dark brown hair.
I'm trying to find a celebrity picture for some sort of hairstyle that I might want. That's step number one.
Step number two? Convince my parents that's the haircut I want.
best of luck. i have the same type of hair (suuper curly tho) and i keep it short, around my ears sort of. but it looks pretty "feminine" most of the time.
I like the first guy's hair.
go for ittt. it looks super-good on the face that my imagination decided you have. ^^
it looks super-good on the face that my eyes decided you have XD But yeah... haircuts all around! We can be Happy Haircut people and party together!
(Psycho mood alert.)
If you've got curlywavy hair and don't straighten it, you should probably either leave it a little bit long, like down to your jaw, or make it really short. Like not buzzcut short but above your ears. Good luck with the haircut thing though =3
~ It's a cosmic joke that I'm a lesbian, because I understand men so well but women are a complete mystery to me.
The reason mine still isn't as short as I want it is because... curlywavy and no-straightening! I could never get away with it really short... I wish.
Anyway, Insane is right.

I get that and respect that, kinda what I had posted several posts above, we did the same thing when our kiddos were small, that work for us too.
Get the idea you get where I am coming from too. I actually don't have a vested interest if anyone visits WDW, Uni or SeaWorld, well actually I am a stockholder of Dis but you know what I mean. The thing that is hilarious to me as an example is the awful reviews of Harry Potter expansion by Fanboys that haven't even stepped foot into the expansion yet speak with such authority. It makes me giggle.
Uni wasn't exactly my cup of tea in the early years and certainly not when I had young children, it had been a thrill park and not much for my young kids. That has changed dramatically and the expansion in 2014 will bring even additional family attraction unlike when my children were small. Our revisit many years later was an eye opener to the changes that vastly improved the Uni parks. I credit Disney tongue and cheek with the sucess of Harry Potter expansion as they were former Disney Imagineers that Disney fired after Epcot and Tokyo were complete and they had a glut of excess imagineers. They found employment with Uni. You can see the Disney style imagineering that Uni lacked previously.
Disney too has also had their fair share of originally mediocre parks in their early years, DHS, AK and on the West Coast, especially the California Park. Even Disney Paris has come a long way over the years. Like I said they all have their fair share of blunders. Any corporation can put out a dog of a park and fix it. If my DD was young again, in a heartbeat I would have hired a Towncar to take her to Legoland. She was obsessed with Lego's, had enough to fill a room, she would have been in heaven when she was young to visit Legoland and I would have indulged her.
Have a great trip.

The inauguration of a president is a time for beautiful words of unity and soaring national aspirations. That was evident in President Barack Obama's speech Monday. The work of a president, a Congress and the politicians who inhabit those offices is too often far from beautiful or soaring. That was evident in Obama's news conference last week brimming with scorn toward Republicans and in the heated rhetoric that Republicans have been more than happy to heap on the president. For all his talk of unity — "we must do these things together, as one nation, and one people" — Obama clearly laid down the gauntlet that he was going to push his liberal agenda: green energy, climate change, more spending and more taxes. There was no invitation to other ideas from Republicans and conservatives. Perhaps surprising was that Obama listed his energy and climate goals ahead of immigration reform. That will only reinforce suspicions on the right that the White House sees immigration not as a legislative objective but as a continuing political hammer with which to bludgeon Republicans.
The president seemed to draw a line in the sand against any significant changes in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — "these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us. They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great." Yet these things, especially Medicare, have been identified by virtually every mainstream economist as the chief drivers of our national debt and as entitlements that must be reformed, not just to prevent fiscal disaster for the country but to preserve the safety net for future Americans in need. Obama's assertion that "a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play" is a warning to business that more regulation is on the way. "We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care" portends a heavy hand from the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, that will fall on business, health-care providers and inevitably on the consumers of medical services. Obama's inaugural speech made a couple of optimistic assertions: "A decade of war is now ending. An economic recovery has begun." The bloody hostage drama in Algeria, the fighting against Islamist militants in Mali, and the resurgence of al-Qaida and its allies across the Middle East and North Africa mean that America likely will be tested by terrorism in the years ahead. His rosy description of the economy came with unemployment still high and the national debt surging. Despite the soaring rhetoric, make no mistake about it, this was a fiercely partisan speech, promising more big government, more taxes, more spending, more battles with a GOP opposition that, however weakened by the last election, hasn't given up on the struggle to preserve the Founding Fathers' vision of limited government reserving the greatest liberty to the republic's citizens.

The Cheesecake Shop Elizabeth and Munno Para
This unique two store combination involves a production and retail site in Elizabeth combined with a high turnover, pure retail site located in the Munno Para Shopping Centre. A steady and well established business, it has been trading in Elizabeth since way back in 1996, some 18 years ago.
The affection the local public have for the Cheesecake Shop brand and the local franchisees excellent service levels have combined to provide excellent financial performance. The stores combined declared gross retail sales for the the 2013/14 financial year came in at over $1 million .
Success Is A Piece Of Cake
Our award winning franchise system makes The Cheesecake Shop one of the simplest businesses to operate. Our franchise system calculates how many cakes you need to produce each week and how much of each ingredient to order. All you have to do is place the order.
Our cakes are baked from easy to follow recipes. You don't need to be a baker or have any trade qualifications, its so straightforward any one can learn to bake our fabulous range of cheesecakes, tortes and mudcakes.
As our customers typically spend more than $20 at a time, we have fewer transactions than other retail food outlets. Combined with our efficient baking system, this means some of our stores can be run by the franchisee working with as few as just 2 or 3 full time staff. How easy is that!
One of Australia's Favourite Brands
With more than 4 million cakes being sold each year, chances are almost everyone in Australia will at some time enjoy a slice of the love that goes into our cakes. This sales level has translated into a tremendous level of goodwill in the Australian community for the Cheesecake Shop brand. A recent market research study found that 95% of people when prompted were aware of the Cheesecake Shop.*
Marketing Support
Franchisees contribute 2% of their sales turnover to the National Marketing Fund which is managed by our specialist marketing team.
Our dedicated team of Franchise Business Coaches also assist franchisees with their local in store marketing calendars
Training Provided
As a two time winner of the FCA Franchisor of the Year award, you can be sure the Cheesecake Shop's training programme is one of the best.
The Cheesecake Shop provides a 4 week full time training course at our dedicated training facility in Sydney. During the course we teach you how to make Australia's yummiest deserts and how to operate the Cheesecake Shop franchise system
Store Upgrade
The franchisee has upgraded its Elizabeth fitout in 2013 in accordance with the Cheesecake Shop's new look. The new modern look draws upon the European roots of The Cheesecake Shop founders and has been well received by the Elizabeth public.
The Munno Para has an exciting future with the option of upgrading its fit out to the very latest Cheesecake Shop format with not only a coffee offer but also a savoury and ice cream line. The larger photo shows an alternative store with the very latest format.
The Cheesecake Shop was founded by brothers Warwick and Robert Konopacki in 1991. From humble beginnings in the back blocks of Sydney's inner western suburb of Rozelle, the brothers Konopacki baked delicious cakes fashioned from' Mamuska', their Polish mother's, traditional recipes. Robert had entrepreneurial flair and experience in food while Warwick, a clinical psychologist by trade, documented recipes and procedures. In 1993 the first of 200 franchised stores opened in Baulkham Hills.

Lang Wiseman of Wiseman Bray Shares His Take on the Importance of Law
This is the 11th entry in our new weekly blog, "Beyond the Bio," where we ask MBQ Power Players to write a post of their choosing about their industry. This post starts the entries from our March/April Power Player category of Personal Injury Lawyers. Last week's post featured Gary Mmith of Apperson Crump on the importance of justice. The January/February Power Players category,Chief Operations Officers, featured Dawn Rapoport COO of Waddell & Associates discussing what makes COOs a "unique bunch." The week before, Chuck Woeppel, COO of UT Medical Group, addressed the future of health care. Previously, Mary Sharp, COO of CB Richard Ellis, discussed why business plans are so crucial to have to fall back on in a time of crises. Lee Rone, COO of Youth Villages, shared why youth are so important to the family unity and the community. Richard McDuffie, COO of Dunavant Logistics, discussed the impact of technology on business. Check this space weekly for future installments of "Beyond the Bio."
"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."
This clever little line was penned by none other than Shakespeare in King Henry the Sixth, Part II. You've probably heard it quoted for laughs, or maybe as evidence of how longstanding an aversion for lawyers seems to go.
Ironically enough, the play is not even one of Shakespeare's more well-known or well-regarded works of art. In fact, the isolated quote actually enjoys more fame than the play itself.
The next time you hear Shakespeare's pithy line, though, know that the quote actually comes from the lips of a murderous traitor who Shakespeare aptly named "Dick the Butcher" in his play, which has caused many to interpret the line as actually being a compliment to lawyers, not necessarily denigrating them. Indeed, "Dick the Butcher" was part of a plot to overthrow the government and set up a dictatorship, and as you might expect, lawyers and the rule of law can be pesky little problems for guys like him.
Lawyers suffer from the fact that we are often associated with times of great stress, anxiety, and angst. I often find, for example, that many of our clients seek our help because they find themselves in unfamiliar, and sometimes even threatening, territory. They don't really want a lawyer. They need one.
To be sure, the pursuit of justice is imperfect. It can be ugly. It can be costly. It can at times even seem unfair. The pursuit of justice is often no different than that other branch of government and the proverbial comparison between making sausage and legislation -- something you'd rather not see, and definitely not be a part of. By definition, legal claims involve at least two competing sides and contentions, and they can be quite disagreeable and unpleasant. Lawyers are at the forefront of that unpleasant fray, fighting for justice on both sides.
No matter how tempting it may be, though, we must always remember that it is precisely the rule of law that separates our great republic from all of the other failed political experiments in the history of the world. Or to borrow from yet another great Englishman, Winston Churchill, who famously said about democracy "[I]t is the worst form of government except all of the others that have been tried."

NYJ Cheerleaders:
disappointed so far
You're never too old for tater tots.
The great thing about cheerleaders is I don't care what team they represent so long as they have nice....
File photo of a chicakdee I dated a few years ago. She was a PSU cheerleader; turned out we actually knew each other from college, but didn't realize it. She cheered for the Washington Wizards, then the Redskins (when this pic was taken), then went on to direct the Wizards cheer/dance team. Really cool gal...I'm still bummed that things didn't work out! ;-)
Heh...check it out. Under my name, it says "member".
My daughter was a cheerleader in high school.
As a result, I can no longer look at cheerleaders without thinking of my daughter.
Which means I am no longer able to appreciate cheerleaders correctly.
I'm glad I don't have daughters.
When Chris Cooley married one of the Redskins cheerleaders, their relationship violated Redskins organizational rules. So, his wife had to quit, and his response was something to the effect of "We won't really miss the $50 per game she gets."
Also, cheerleaders remind me of the girls who were mean to those of us who weren't in the popular crowd in high school. Their smiles are fake and their eyes are evil. This is, of course, a generalization.

What you wrote right there only prooves that what Jerome Joseph Acayan wrote is true.
If we were to say that everyone that sounds similar were ripping eachother off, we would have to complain about all the new bands and artists that have taken shape over the years.
I am sure that you could find alot of other people that make music similar to The Postal Service or Owl City.
People make the music they feel like and Im pretty sure that you will be able to compare almost every song you find out there to another one.
In the end, there is no such thing as individuality you know.

text: Ok, so I got my popcorn, gonna watch Andrew McCutchen of my beloved Pirates in The MLB Homerun Derby on Monday Night. Now granted, "Cutch" wasn't originally asked to be in the contest, he was a replacemement for the injured Giancarlo Stanton of Miami, but COME ON!! Most of his at-bat was "split screened" with Josh Hamilton being interviewed, and Chris Berman and his washed up cronies barely paying attention! McCutchen LEADS the Major Leagues with a .360 average, the Bucs in first place, (please see my earlier blog back in early Spring!), and most "talking heads" STILL give little or no attention to what is going on with Pittsburgh! That's cool though..in September they will!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

sigh..ive had the lucky bamboo for a little over a year now and it was very healthy..then classes started for college and i gorgot to water it for a week and a half...so when i looked at it.all three stalks were yellow and mushy...im sure that its probably dead and that theres no hope for it...but this bamboo means a lot to me and its terrible that i neglected it.
BUT. i changed the water..cleaned the pot...and cleaned the mush off the stalks... AND...theres TWO green leaves still.... SO....is there any hope for my plant? |

You may be luckier with a real bamboo. Wait and see what happens, it sounds like you have done all that you can for it. Keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best. If the worst does happen, try growing a potted bamboo instead, you will be glad you did. Kt |

I pretty much have incredible luck with plants EXCEPT for lucky bamboo and jade plants! I can keep them hanging on for about a year but sooner or later.... |

Dandelions are pretty easy to grow and care for... |
Last fall, I left mine outside and it froze. The entire thing died and turned to mush except for a small part at its base. It was slow but has grown back. It's planted in soil. I'm actually going to try growing dandelions indoors for a Russian Tortoise this winter. Problem is dandelion has a long taproot and needs a fair amount of sun. |

I have one thats been in my sunroom for 3 years. It began yellowing... but not to the extent of your situation. I slowly added soil to the water...over about a weeks time untill my planter was a soggy soil mix...seems to add life span to the plant. I read a few articles that say the life span isnt very long and anything over 2 years is exceptional. Might wanna try a little soil in the mix. I see they sell liguid nutrients for lucky bamboo too. Never tried it though. Best of luck. CJ |

So,Feedmymonkey, in other words, Lucky bamboo is not a bamboo. Just like a Rose of Sharon nor a Confederate Rose are not roses. |

There's an Asian Gardening Forum now. :) And CountryNest is right. Lucky bamboo isn't a true bamboo at all. |
Oh no! Lucky bamboo has returned from the dead... |
Just when you thought it was dead, a rhizome appears... from out of no where, equipped with air channels, it survives even drowning... |
For luck, i grow hibanobambusa tranquillans shiroshima, oh! and 4 leaf clovers. |

you will be lucky if it dies!! then you will have an excuse to get real bamboo. |
The Yellow leafs can be Lack of nutrients Giving the plant Nitrogen Fertilizer will bring out dark green color in plants. Give half or less the amount recommended on the package. Tip: You can add nutrients to water by adding air to the water. Place the water in the blender or shake up the water in a clean jug or cup. |

My Lucky Bamboo's stalk is really yellow, and has a scrape on the stalk, it looks infected I'm not sure how to fix it? Please help. i love this bamboo. |

Lucky Bamboo, not a real bamboo, grows best in soil, not water. If you plant the thing in good soil, it will take off and spread. I planted one in the ground in florida about 8 years ago and it now has about 40+ new stems and is about 3' tall. |

I am a human, so sometimes I forget things. Generally, they are small, mostly unimportant things ("Aw crap, I forgot to return 'Jonah Hex' to Blockbuster"). Sometimes, they're slightly bigger, slightly more consequential things ("Aw crap, I rented 'Jonah Hex' from Blockbuster"). And occasionally they are very nearly catastrophic things (my biggest blunder remains leaving our weeks-old twin sons at a restaurant table unattended while I went and got sweet tea, which, make sure you know, was as traumatic as watching 'Jonah Hex'). But still, I remember I was at a sports bar the last week of March 2012, and I remember that because that was the first time I watched JaVale McGee do something HYPER amazing in real time.
In the third quarter of a close (albeit boring) game, McGee swiped in and a stole a lazy pass from Jose Calderon to Andrea Bargnani. Rather than pass it off to his outlet, the lovely Ty Lawson, he instead kept it. He dribbled the length of the floor — he's nine feet tall, don't forget — spied that Calderon was the only one that had bothered to get back on defense, cockpunched gravity, then raised up and dunked it from, if I'm remembering correctly, right around halfcourt. Poor Jose Calderon was atomized. I believe they buried him the next day. It was a closed casket funeral.
I love JaVale McGee. I hope you do too. If you don't, the least you can do is help him remember what he was thinking about earlier. Leave your handiwork in the comments or on our Facebook page.

Center President Terry Dwyer addresses the crowd at the Bhathal residence
Marta and Raj Bhathal hosted the kick-off to Segerstrom Center's 2011 Candlelight Concert on Friday, June 10 at their Laguna Beach home. Marta Bhathal, a former Candlelight Concert chair, welcomed this year's chair, Dee Higby, Center board members, committee members and prospective underwriters.
Higby announced that this year's gala would celebrate the Center's silver anniversary and that her vice-chairs are Betty Huang and Elizabeth Segerstrom. Higby noted, "We celebrate Segerstrom Center's 25th anniversary, 25 years of bringing extraordinary artists, companies and performances for us to enjoy, as well as education programs that have changed the lives of generations of young people."
Additionally, Caroline Jones of Cartier South Coast Plaza was applauded when Higby welcomed Cartier as a Candlelight Presenting Sponsor. As Higby noted, Cartier has been a loyal and generous supporter of the Center, including sponsorships during the 10th anniversary and the opening of the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall.
Candlelight Concert nets more than $1 million each year in support of the Center's artistic and education programs. During the past 25 years, more than 15 million people have attended performances at the Center and the lives of more than 6 million young people have been enriched by its many education programs.
The Candlelight tradition began in 1974 to raise funds to create a major performing arts center in Orange County. A small group of community visionaries transformed a vacant Kresge store into an elegant ballroom. The money raised from that first Candlelight Concert, as the event was titled, supported what was then called the Orange County Cultural Center, Inc. The committee called the evening "Candlelight" because they utilized subtle lighting with candles to add glamour to an otherwise utilitarian setting. This annual gala is held now in the magnificent performing arts facility that the founders envisioned, and it is a venerated holiday event for Segerstrom Center for the Arts and, indeed, all of Orange County.
The evening features a private cocktail reception, an elegant dinner and dancing, as well as performances by celebrated artists. In the past, guests have enjoyed concerts by such entertainment greats as Diana Ross, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, Jay Leno, Natalie Cole, Tony Bennett, Diana Krall, Kenny Loggins, Harry Belafonte, Johnny Mathis, Diana Ross , Donna Summer and Smokey Robinson.
Among those joining the sunset reception were Center Chairman Larry Higby, Center President Terry Dwyer and his wife Amy, Ronnie and Byron Allumbaugh, Catherine Emmi, Jerry and Maralou Harrington, Betty and S.L. Huang, Elizabeth An, Tom and Margaret Larkin, Jan and Mike Lowther, Jennifer and Tony Mathews, Alfred Somekh and Liz Merage, Harriet and Sandy Sandhu, Marie Gray, Eve Kornyei and Mike Ruffatto, South Coast Director of Community Relations Kathryn Glassmyer, Mindy and Glenn Stearns and Richard Reisman. Seating for Candlelight Concert is limited. For information regarding contributions and purchase of seats or tables to the 38th Annual Candlelight Concert, visit SCFTA.org/candlelight or contact Stephanie Jernigan at (714)556-2121 x 4247.
