Nicholas Wohlfarth put the Franciscan value of service to work and benefited thousands. During his senior year at Lourdes, Nick established a volunteer pilot program at The Toledo Hospital (TTH) to enhance customer service in the Emergency Center (EC).
In his role as Supply Coordinator in the Respiratory Department at TTH, Nick was responsible for maintaining respiratory equipment, among many other duties. "I also took pride in making myself available to assist the respiratory care department team in any way possible and am very grateful for the team's experience and professionalism," he adds.
The Toledo Hospital has an established reputation for providing great customer service in all areas of its facility. The Emergency Center sees the highest number of patients in the northwest Ohio area and management is always looking for new and innovative ways to better care for patients. Having an interest in the workings of an EC, Nick realized as he was pursuing his nursing degree that there was an opportunity to enhance the customer comfort care experience due to the fast pace and high acuity of unpredictable patients. When he was elected Vice President of the Student Nursing Association (SNA) he was in a position to make a difference as the SNA is "always trying to think of new ways to better the community."
Nick took his idea to better serve patients in the EC and sought the advice of Brian Biggie, his supervisor at TTH and Mallie Kozy, PhD, Chair of Lourdes' Undergraduate Nursing Studies, on how to make his vision a reality.
With the guidance and support of his TTH supervisor, and the Chair of Lourdes' Undergraduate Nursing Studies, and the SNA, Nick, TTH and Lourdes created a volunteer ER customer service pilot program. "It was amazing to see so many of my fellow classmates pitch in and volunteer," adds Nick. "We had a strong team of 12 students from SNA who took time out of their busy schedules and the effort was definitely worth it."
The win-win situation allowed TTH to enhance patient satisfaction and the students were exposed to and learned about the inner operations of an emergency room. As Nick sees it, "Where else could we have an opportunity to help so many people in need and gain experience in this unique, specialized area of nursing? In return, we provided an open ear to patients and provided therapeutic communication to help make their visit to the EC as pleasurable as possible."

Smart Marriage Advice from 8 Rock-Solid Couples
5 Simple Tricks for a Better Relationship
Play those heightened sentiments like a pro. Go from throat-clearing to 'bottom's up' in style, for both the rehearsal dinner and reception toasts.
You're starting to feel it -- the terror that strikes every man who's ever taken the long walk down the aisle. We're not talking about the wedding vows here -- we mean your toasts.
There may actually be two occasions on which you'll have to deliver your words of appreciation for all those who helped make the big day happen -- at the rehearsal dinner, and at the reception. First thing's first: There will be plenty of opportunities during the reception to crack a few of your classic one-liners -- this is not one of them.
The rehearsal dinner is when all your out-of-state relatives and friends get together for food, drink, and to meet whichever half of the couple they don't already know. So what do you say to an assembled crowd when half the room has never met you before and the other half is busy sizing up your soon-to-be lawfully wedded wife? You start dishing out the compliments, of course.
There will be plenty of opportunities during the reception to crack a few of your classic one-liners -- this is not one of them.
From this point on, whenever you are called on to say a few words in reference to your wedding, always start out by saying how lucky you are to have met a woman like [fill in your bride's name here]. Of course you really mean it. Just don't forget to remind everybody else of that.
The next thing you want to do is thank all the out-of-town guests for going so far out of their way to watch you and your beloved take the plunge. This is a good time to throw in a couple of random anecdotes about Uncle Sid, who got you your first pair of roller-skates (remember, keep it general and clean -- you really don't want to get bogged down in the details here).
Finally, it's time to give your parents their due for putting on this lovely evening and doing everything they've done so well to support you over the years. If you feel like camping it up, walk over to Mom and give her a hug -- people gathered for sentimental occasions eat up this stuff.
If you follow this basic routine, you're sure to make it through the rehearsal dinner just fine.
Next up: The wedding reception toast. The difference between the rehearsal dinner and the reception is (a) you're actually married, and (b), her parents are probably footing most of the bill instead of yours. Your toast should be adjusted accordingly.
Again, it's always recommended that you begin any comment about your wedding with an enthusiastic reference to your bride. Actually, it's more than recommended -- let's face it, it's required. So, once you've reminded the crowd how much you love this woman, "the glowing light of your life" (it's impossible to be too sappy at this event, so go for broke), move directly to a few words regarding the evening's sponsors: your new in-laws.
There will be plenty of opportunities during the wedding reception to crack a few of your classic one-liners -- this is not one of them. When referring to your newest "Mom" and "Dad," you must be a stranger to sarcasm, an alien to irony. With emotions running this high -- to say nothing of the caterer's bill -- you just can't risk a misunderstood attempt at humor. So play it safe and leave the wisecracking roast to your fraternity brothers.
Remember, you want to thank the in-laws for more than just the good food and great company. Their biggest gift to you is their daughter's hand in marriage. Let them know that if you had never met their daughter, you'd be a much poorer man.
You'll also want to give one last nod to your own dear mom and pop for all they've done for you over the years. This is, after all, a milestone moment in their lives, too. So raise your glass high, send a hearty toast in their general direction -- if you can manage a tear, that's a nice bonus but not required -- and then walk over to your wife and give her a big kiss. A good and tipsy crowd (or even a sober one) will love it.
-- Robert Mortiz

Democrats voting in opposition to background checks. A Presidential temper tantrum on live TV. A Hitler parody video that sums it all up. Priceless!
This video is very funny, but very true. Obama and his gun-grabbing anti-Second Amendment idiots acted just like Hitler did in this video. They had a temper tantrum. They are children trapped in adult bodies. It is truly shameful. They are used to getting their way like spoiled children. It's time to put them in time-out and let the adults rule the country.


text: Early '90s dance music is pretty sacred to me. Probably because I grew up in that era and so many of those tunes soundtracked parties and whatnot for a very impressionable time in my life. Maybe that's why I generally turn up my nose to any remixes or rewerks of these classic tunes, some of which we've already collected for you in an effort to educate. Sometimes though, I'm willing to let down my guard a bit and give something a chance. This Altered Tapes rework of Dee-Lite's classic "Groove Is In The Heart" makes me extremely glad a did. This rework adds a Latin funk flavor that I'm sure b-boys everywhere are going to eat up. I would hope DJs will, too, as this original always cracks off in my DJ sets. This is definitely going to get some serious burn from me in the cut. This flip is FUN.

@:Additional driver awareness signage intended to reduce the number of accidents at the increasingly busy intersection formed by APD 40 and the Spring Creek mixed-use development have been erected, and more traffic alerts could be ahead.
Bart Borden, vice president of the Cleveland Utilities Electric Division who also oversees the city's traffic signal network, reported utility engineers have been in contact with the Tennessee Department of Transportation to discuss possible enhancements to the sometimes congested traffic signal area.
"Cleveland Utilities engineering contacted the Region 2 traffic engineer (for TDOT) to discuss the possibility of increasing driver awareness of the APD 40 at Spring Creek intersection," Borden told Cleveland Board of Public Utilities members during a recent session.
He added, "A few accidents have occurred that involved vehicles coming down the hill on the westbound approach. The Tennessee Department of Transportation suggested installing an additional 'Signal Ahead' warning sign in the median. A flashing warning beacon could be installed in the future, but must be installed on both signs."
Borden pointed out CU crews will add "back plates" to the eastbound and westbound signals to make them more visible to motorists, and possibly even flashing warning beacons — especially for during the morning and evening hours when the sun is rising and setting. Glare from the sun is reportedly making the existing traffic signals more difficult to see from both directions, he advised.
The two "Signal Ahead" warning signs have been placed in the median. CU traffic engineers, along with Tad Bacon who coordinates Cleveland's traffic signals for the utility company, will monitor the junction to assess the effectiveness of the signage. If necessary, CU will consider the additional measures to enhance motorist safety in the busy area, Borden reported.
Borden is expected to provide updated reports on Electric Division activities at the CU board's next meeting which is scheduled for Tuesday in the Tom Wheeler Training Center. It is a regularly scheduled monthly gathering. Updates are expected to include the impact of January's bitter cold temperatures, and last week's snowfall, on CU operations.
In another traffic development, which also covers a busy area where safety is paramount, Borden alluded to a project on Ocoee Street that involves crosswalk design, materials and coordination for Lee University students and other pedestrians.
"A work order was issued to install new crosswalk signals with black decorative poles and mast arms on North Ocoee Street, just south of Billy Graham Avenue for Lee University," Borden reported. "All the materials to construct the signals have been received."
Installation work began in late December with the intent of completing it prior to the return from the holiday break of Lee University students; however, inclement weather has delayed progress.
In his monthly report to CU board members, Borden also touched on several additional project updates:
n CU and TDOT representatives were scheduled to meet to discuss the feasibility of dividing the APD 40 interchange project at Stone Lake Road into two phases. Borden said TDOT's proposal is to construct the overpass and both on-and-off ramps on the west side in Phase I. Phase II would be the construction of the east ramps, he said. Phase II would impact transmission lines operated by both CU and TVA.
n Work on the Chatata Creek Substation C-214 tie line project has been placed on hold, in order to move CU crews to TDOT's road-widening project at Durkee Road "... due to the immediate need to move the lines for construction," Borden reported. He said work will resume on the substation once the Durkee Road project is complete.
n CU's engineering and metering personnel have been working with Discount Tire Center on Stuart Road to properly meter the new facility.
n CU engineers are preparing to work closely with the contractor and electrician on the Speedway fueling and convenience stores being constructed at the intersections of 25th Street and Chambliss Avenue, and Georgetown Road and Paul Huff Parkway.
n Talk Wireless, a Sprint retailer of cellular services and products, has requested electric service in the Publix Shopping Center and will have an expected load of 10 kW.
n A work order was issued to install 10 underground-fed street light poles and fixtures in the Weston Hills Phase IV development. Home construction in this phase increased over the past year and required the addition of lighting, Borden reported. The estimated cost of the project is $16,082.50 and will be added to the street light investment account.
n Site plans reviewed by CU engineers in November included Speedway at Westland Drive and APD 40; Ocoee Medical Office Park at 2400 North Ocoee St.; and Nelson Place on Fletcher Road N.W. (a water and wastewater design plan).
n Plat reviews considered by engineers included Habitat Tasso on Dalewood Lane, two lots (final plat); STT Millwrights Property on Overhead Bridge Road (final plat); Stonebriar Lot 41 on Stonebriar Drive N.E. (final plat); Stonebriar Development on Stonebriar Drive N.E. and Gate Tower Way N.E. (final plat, Phase 4); Lakewood Subdivision off Freewill Road N.W. (revised final plat); and Brookstone Townhomes, Chelsea Drive N.E., preliminary lots 4-5 and 7.
"A few accidents have occurred that involved vehicles coming down the hill on the westbound approach. The Tennessee Department of Transportation suggested installing an additional 'Signal Ahead' warning sign in the median. A flashing warning beacon could be installed in the future, but must be installed on both signs." — Bart Borden

The Joint Operations Center at Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan is the main hub for international operations in the region. It is the heart of the effort to hunt Taliban and terrorist masterminds. The Long War Journal was granted access to the "Bridge" during the preparation for the recent strike against the Haqqani Network in Pakistan. This slideshow from inside the Bridge looks at the people who make the operations happen.

More than 100 people evacuated from WA flood zone
PUBLISHED: 16 Mar 2011 13:03:39 | UPDATED: 16 Mar 2011 13:03:39PRINT EDITION: 16 Mar 2011
More than 100 people have been evacuated from a severely flooded town in Western Australia's east Kimberley region, where 45 homes have been destroyed and another 20 remain uninhabitable.
The Department for Child Protection (DCP) says 103 people have been evacuated by helicopter and bus from Warmun to Kununurra.
Another 100 people were housed at Turkey Creek overnight and will be evacuated on Wednesday, the DCP says.
The residents will stay at Garrjang Village, a fly in fly out workers camp, which is equipped with units, a first aid post and a commercial kitchen.
Regional Development Minister Brendon Grylls said it was expected that the evacuees would remain at the village for up to three weeks, while recovery works take place at Warmun.
"The use of Garrjang Village has meant that the Warmun residents have not had to travel too far from home for shelter during this time of crisis and hopefully lessened what is no doubt a time of trauma for these people," he said.
The Fire and Emergency Services Authority (FESA) says about 130 people from Ringers Soak, 170km south east of Halls Creek, will be resupplied on Wednesday with food, water and medication.
A nurse and doctor will be available with a helicopter for medical evacuations, a spokeswoman said.
People in the towns of Wyndham, Kununurra and Halls Creek, including outlying communities in the Ord and Fitzroy River catchments, have also been warned to remain vigilant.
Deputy Premier Kim Hames flew to the East Kimberley on Tuesday afternoon to inspect the damage.
Dr Hames said he intended to meet with members of the local council and Kimberley Development Commission to discuss the recovery of the region.

Statewide Wage Theft Bill Fails, Paving the Way for Alachua County's Ordinance
Published May 7th, 2013
Loading Video...
ALACHUA COUNTY - It's now full steam ahead for Alachua County's Wage Theft Ordinance after a statewide wage theft bill failed to get a final vote during this year's regular legislative session.
Senate Bill 1216 was introduced in the state Legislature more than two months ago by north central Florida Senator Rob Bradley. If passed, the bill would have superseded the county's Wage Theft Ordinance.
While the county's Wage Theft Task Force celebrated the move, members of the Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce have expressed their reservations. They say business owners need a consistent law across all counties on a statewide level instead of a "patchwork" of different local ordinances.
As for the costs associated with the local ordinance, the county commission budgeted $10,000 for the Hearing Officer process last month. Tattersall says that should be a one-time cost and that the county will add fees and fines they collect as a result of cases they mediate.
The Wage Theft Ordinance is set to take effect at the beginning of next year.

A Chorus Line is a Broadway musical that opened at the Shubert Theatre July 25, 1975 and closed there April 28, 1990 after 6,137 performances. It held the distinction of being the longest running show on Broadway until it was surpassed by Cats in 1997 and The Phantom of the Opera in 2006. It currently holds the record for the fourth longest-running musical, after Phantom of the Opera, Cats and Les Miserables (in that order). The musical is based on two taped sessions with Broadway dancers, including eight of the actors/actresses of the original Broadway cast. The show was conceived, directed and choreographed by Michael Bennett, with music by Marvin Hamlisch and lyrics by Edward Kleban. The book was assembled by James Kirkwood, Jr. and Nicholas Dante (and script-doctored by Neil Simon). It had a successful Off-Broadway run at the Public Theater before opening on Broadway. A Chorus Line also toured successfully, including a run at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood. A Broadway revival is scheduled to open at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre on October 5, 2006; tickets go on sale June 18, 2006. With 19 main characters, the setting is a Broadway theater where young dancers audition for the part in the chorus line of a musical. The show gives a glimpse into the personalities of the performers and the choreographer as they describe the events that have shaped their lives and their decisions to become dancers. Highlights include the songs "One," "Nothing," "The Music and the Mirror" and "What I Did For Love." A Chorus Line received 12 nominations for the Tony Awards in 1975, winning nine: Best Musical, Best Actress (Donna McKechnie), Best Featured Actor (Sammy Williams), Best Featured Actress (Carole Bishop), Best Director (Michael Bennett), Best Musical Book(Dante and Kirkwood), Best Score (Hamlisch and Kleban), Best Lighting design (Tharon Musser) and Best Choreographer (Michael Bennett and Bob Avian). It also won the 1976 Pulitzer Prize for drama, one of the few musicals ever to receive this honor. SynopsisAt an audition for an upcoming Broadway production, a director and a choreography assistant choose 17 dancers. The director tells them he is looking for a strong dancing chorus of four boys and four girls, and he wants to learn more about them. They are then told to talk about themselves. In "I Hope I Get It," we are watching the beginning of the final phase of a Broadway tryout. A rehearsal piano plays as groups of dancers in rehearsal clothes vanish and reappear. The dancers eventually surge forward into a line, holding their eight-by-ten inch head shots in front of them. After the director, Zach, informs the dancers that he wants to know more about them, they begin with great reluctance to talk, revealing portions of their life stories. In order to get this job, they must put themselves on the line. While the show uses different characters to move through the audition, the overall pattern of stories progresses chronologically from early life experiences through adulthood to the end of a career. The first candidate is Bobby, who tries to hide the unhappiness of his childhood by making jokes. With "I Can Do That" Mike recalls his first experience with dance, watching his sister's dance class when he was a pre-schooler. Certain he could do it too, he took her place one day when she refused to go to class – and he stayed the rest of his life. The 17 dancers have misgivings about this strange audition process ("And..."), but since they all need the job, the session continues. Zach starts to question the girls and becomes angry, since he thinks that the candidates do not take the audition seriously. The girls start to open up and sing "At The Ballet," a poignant tribute to the escape Sheila, Bebe and Maggie found in the beauty of ballet. Sheila's mother married at a young age and her father neither loved nor cared for them. She realises that ballet is a relief from her family life. Bebe adds that she likes ballet as she was not beautiful as a child and everything in ballet seems beautiful. Moreover, Maggie says that she loves ballet because in the ballet someone is always there, unlike the father she has never had. The next ones are a husband and wife, Kristine and Al. When Kristine speaks, Al finishes her sentences. "Sing!" makes it clear that Kristine is tone deaf, and Zach moves on to Mark, a young dancer guy who is eager to be in Broadway. His stories lead into "Hello Twelve, Hello Thirteen, Hello Love," a montage sequence in which all of the dancers share memories of their traumatic early teens. Gregory speaks about his homosexuality, and Diana's recollects her horrible high school acting class ("Nothing"). "Dance Ten, Looks Three" follows, with Val's explanation that talent doesn't count for everything with casting directors. Zach reiterates to Cassie that she's too good for the chorus and shouldn't be there at the audition - she should be out dancing solos. But she hasn't been able to find work and is attempting to "come home" to the chorus and start again. "The Music and the Mirror" tells of Cassie's love of dance and of her need to dance. She is a terrific veteran "gypsy" who has had some notable successes as a soloist. After Cassie's plea, Zach agrees to allow her to go downstairs and learn the combination with the rest of "the kids." Zach calls Paul back on stage and what follows is a monologue in which the emotionally vulnerable Paul comes to terms with his early career, manhood and sense of self. Cassie and Zach's complex relationship resurfaces in the first rendition of "One," where Zach and Cassie confront each other and their romantic past - ending with Cassie's rant, "I'll take chorus, if you'll take me!" Late in the show after Paul falls injured during the tap sequence and is carried off, the director asks the remaining dancers what they will do when they can no longer dance. "What I Did for Love" expresses the emotional drive that keeps these dancers focused, ever hopeful and free of regrets. This number fades into the final elimination process as the final eight dancers are selected: Cassie, Bobby, Diana, Judy, Val, Mike, Mark and Richie. "One" (reprise/finale) begins with an individual bow for each of the 19 characters, their hodgepodge rehearsal clothes replaced by identical spangled gold costumes. As each dancer joins the group, it is suddenly difficult to distinguish one from the other. Each character who was an individual to the audience is now an anonymous member of an ensemble. Musical numbers
1985 filmThe film adaptation, A Chorus Line, released in 1985 by Columbia Pictures, stars Michael Douglas as the director. Favorably reviewed by Roger Ebert and others, it was nominated for three Academy Awards and two Golden Globes. Adapted for the screen by Arnold Schulman and directed by Richard Attenborough, the film had several changes, including a different ending, a reduction of homosexual elements and an expansion of the role of Cassie and her romance with Zach. 2006 revivalThe show is being re-mounted at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater scheduled for an October 5 opening (with previews beginning September 18 after a San Francisco run scheduled for July 23 to September 2), with direction by the show's original co-choreographer, Bob Avian, with the choreography reconstructed by the show's original Connie Wong, Baayork Lee. The cast includes Charlotte d'Amboise as Cassie, Deirdre Goodwin as Sheila, Michael Berresse as Zach, Heather Parcells as Judy, and James T. Lane as Richie. |

This free online training page is designed to allow anyone to complete any of the multimedia Risk Management and Loss Prevention training modules for free. Also by registering as a training manager you can use our online induction program to nominate a group of people to complete any of the online training modules. The Online Induction System will track, record and manage the training of the group for free.
The multimedia online training modules cover a range of topics such as Risk Assessments, Enterprise Risk Management, Fire Prevention, House Fire Prevention, and Terrorism Awareness.
Risk Assessments and Enterprise Risk Management modules painlessly explain the basic concepts and principles associated with risk management and help organisations create a consistent approach to risk management. Fire Prevention modules are designed to reduce fire losses, demonstrate employee loss prevention training to underwriters and reduce insurance costs. The Terrorism Awareness module will train employees to identify and report suspicious behaviour. This module is designed for large infrastructure sites and other sites which may be attractive terrorist targets. All these modules and others are designed to benefit companies by improving risk management, reducing losses and reducing costs.
The objective was to make it easy for companies to provide simple risk management training for their employees. We have tried to select training modules that companies would like to provide to their employees and will be adding more modules and updating existing modules based on feedback from interested parties. Most of the training is designed to be generic and for general employees, so that most businesses and most industries can find it useful to provide the training to their employees
Risk Central is providing the free service to demonstrate how online training systems and Online Induction programs can be used for risk management training and to improve risk management outcomes.
This free online training system is similar to our online induction system and therefore clients can use this system to test drive our online induction system. Risk Central can produce customised versions of any of these free modules for specific clients.
The page also includes a free Risk Assessment Training Tool. The Risk Assessment Tool is designed to help improve the accuracy, quality and consistency of risk assessments. The tool guides users through each step of the risk assessment process using instructions, examples and a multimedia tutorial and is in line with ISO and Australian - Risk Management Standards.
Risk Central can also fully customise the online risk assessment tool for specific organisations. A customised tool uses your own company's risk matrix and methodology. Risk Central can also use the same online technology to develop a customised Job Safety Analysis Tool or JSA - Training Tool for companies.

I found a tree of these asian pears in my neighborhood. They all had the same asymmetrical shape (lop-sided) and the same swollen stems. Is this a common variety with a disease, or are there asian pear varieties that don't come out nice and round? The one in the photo was on the ground and slightly bruised. The flavor was sweet and interesting, a mix of grape and caramel.

Here is another picture I took of the mystery fruit. Erwin Meekers has suggested this is Bong Ri, (a Nijiseiki x Ya Li cross). Here is a picture of Bong Ri from an Australian government website, I think he is right. How it got in my neighborhood is a mystery. |

First lady Michelle Obama was in Chicago recently to promote the national "Let's Move" fitness campaign, and I applaud her efforts to reduce childhood obesity. Through her leadership and the continued partnership of government, business and the community, we have made and will continue to make great strides in advancing the health of children across the nation.
The beverage industry in Illinois and throughout the country is committed to the health of our nation's children. When the first lady launched the "Let's Move" campaign in February 2010, America's beverage companies were eager to get involved, introducing the "Clear on Calories" initiative to support her efforts.
You may have noticed that a calorie label is now on the front of all cans, bottles and packages. This initiative has enhanced consumer access to information and enabled consumers to personalize their beverage choice.
The American Beverage Association and its member companies have encouraged healthier choices by reducing beverage calories shipped to schools by 90 percent and decreasing soft drink advertising aimed at children by 96 percent.
I commend the first lady for bringing the health of our children to the forefront of public discussion. These are initiatives that people from all industries and organizations can support.

A foe of fracking
From depleting fresh water resources to generating toxic, chemical-laden wastewater of which we can't safely dispose, drilling and fracking for natural gas unnecessarily threatens our collective health and future.
It pollutes our water and air, endangers public health and contributes to climate change. It should not be allowed in Illinois.
HB 2615 is a weak regulatory bill that essentially provides a road map for the oil and gas industry to frack our state. It is the product of exclusive negotiations between industry and a small number of organizations, excluding from the process grass-roots groups that have been working to protect their communities from fracking.
The bill does not allow communities affected by fracking to regulate the practice at the county level, and it provides only minor and insufficient protections for fracking near schools, water sources and other critical areas. Moreover, it withholds from the public information about toxic fracking chemicals.
Drilling and fracking to extract natural gas has caused contamination of drinking water, air pollution, accidents and dangerous explosions in states across the country, among other issues.
Why should we settle for this in Illinois? Gov. Pat Quinn and the Legislature have to stand up for Illinoisans. Rather than this weak bill, they should instead support a long-term moratorium or a full ban on fracking.

The Schon! Magazine 'Miami Blue' editorial is electric. Despite its indigo undertone, it is far from cool. As the title suggests, the photoshoot embraces the heat of the Cruise Capital of the World. Model Bregje Heinen is captured in all of her sensual sweaty glory against a background that is as dark and mysterious as it is vibrant and textured.
Shot by photographer Rayan Ayash, the Schon! Magazine 'Miami Blue' editorial appears in Issue 21 of the United Kingdom publication. The outfits showcased throughout were put together by stylist Andrew Holden. Glamorously textured, patterned and embellished, the looks are all short and form-fitting. They were complemented with pink-tinted tresses by hairstylist Yoichi Tomizawa and pastel lips by makeup artist Fumi Nakagawa.

Brunei Travellers Tales
You don''t see taxis or motorbikes on the road as most people have their own cars. So don''t expect to haul a cab on the roadside. Was told the whole country have only about 40 taxis operating. The city is very clean and people are generally friendly. Pace of life very relax (it seems).
For the urbanites, Brunei is extremely quiet country even in the major city. Most locals in Brunei have their own means of transpo, so we are quite amused that even in the downtown area we saw few people walking in the sidewalk. The tourists that we saw in the morning were the same people we saw in the afternoon. Just to show how small the country or city is.
I was only on a stopover from China but absolutley wrapped with Brunei. Went on a 1 day tour with Intrepid Tours (Brunei-NOT Intrepid Travel Int.) Alan Riches is an Aussie with 12 years on-ground experience in tour management/guiding in Brunei. Culture/location environment fantastic. Went on the water village tour (a must-see)/water taxi/Mosque visits-highly recommended. 4WD adventure tours into Sabah in the pipeline with this operator & highly anticipated. Will include caving/trekking/rafting/accomodation in village longhouse & basic homestays. Many eco-adventure/local cultural but low impact things to do & see for the discerning traveller who wants too immerse themselves in the riches of this beautiful kingdom. See the real untouched magic of Brunei & surrounds. I had a fantastic time in only a 1 full day visit & was so captivated that I am already planning another longer visit at the end of this year. Only a short flight from Australia & en-route from London/Frankfurt/Bangkok to Brisbane/Syd with Royal Brunei Airlines. RBA awarded the Best Asia Airline ''04. They were great to travel with only dont go if you are a hard core drinker-no alcohol on board which is a great thing. No hangovers/derelicts or empty wallets at the end of the flight!
Four weeks before my stay at the Traders Inn, Bandar Seri Begawan, I stayed at the Brunei Hotel as part of the Royal Brunei overnight stay package. The following morning I signed up for the 3 hour tourist trip around Bandar Seri Begawan to see the sites. This was fascinating as it provided me with an insight into the Muslim way of life in Brunei. Coach stops on the visit included the Brunei Museum which contained many ancient artifacts, art and books of exquisite detail such as the ancient hand written Korans. The trip also took in the latest mosque built by the current Sultan of Brunei. Again, the craftmanship and construction of this amazing mosque is awe inspiring with Italian marble, Austrian Crystal, English stained glass and gold and gold-plating almost everywhere on the roof and ceilings. To all travellers to Brunei, I recommend this trip as an introduction to the independant state of Brunei and to absorb the many cultural and geographic aspects of this small nation located on the Northern part of Borneo Island.
I found Bruneians very friendly and approachable. While there isn''t much for entertainment in this strictly Muslim nation, I enjoyed myself shopping for chocolates and biscuits imported from the U.K. I''ve found that the cheapest place to get imported chocolates is at local supermarkets. Do not buy chocolates at the airport, because even though it''s duty-free, they were more expensive than those sold outside.
Brunei is interesting to see (once) but I would not be putting it on my list of countries to return to. The standard of living is high for Asia and the cost of food and travel is reasonably expensive or at least equal to Australian prices. (We paid $4.00 for a cappucino). We arranged a four hour tour to the water village, museums and mosque. This was expensive ($45 each) but probably the best way to see a bit in a short time. The James Ahr Mosque was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone going there. It is a very safe, clean place but lacks the fun, excitement and pizzaz of the rest of Asia (I guess that is the Muslim influence). The people were friendly and helpful, but there is very little to do there, but none the less we found it interesting for a short stay.
If you are going out to a restaurant go out early. If you go out after 8pm you are likely to find most restaurants nearly deserted. Negotiate taxi charges when you get in. Sometimes the fixed rates appear a little flexible if you question them.
Although Brunei is not a usual holiday destination, we found it an interesting place to visit: friendly locals, fantastic architecture and the water village of Kampong Ayer is definitely worth a look (although don''t go on the boat after eating!) We didn''t even feel the need to rent a car: the shopping mall, local night market and the river were all easily accessible. As long as you don''t mind the humidity, Brunei really makes for an impressive visit. We intend to come back to see the palace in the month the Sultan opens his doors!
Brunei reminds me of a cross between KL & Singapore. It is very clean, but nothing much to do.
Rent a car!!! That''s the best advice I can give for Brunei. And don''t miss visiting the water village.

MyMoon Wedding // Brooklyn wedding photographer
I met first met Danna (aka DJ Whitney Day) at one of her epic New York City women's parties. I was relatively new to "the scene," but I knew her as THE top gay women's party producer in the city. After casually shooting some photos at one her events, Whitney reached out and asked me if I'd photograph her wedding.
Little did any of us know that in that year leading to the wedding, the three of us would become such close friends. At our initial meetings, we spent hours chatting about around-the-world adventures, business ideas, relationships, and our own personal dreams as gay travel-addict entrepreneurs! As the summer unfolded, I became Whitney's personal photographer, accompanying her to some of her largest, most successful events of her career, including Mayor Bloomberg's Pride Party, Rapture on the River, and her New York City Pride after-party. We had a blast, and through our friendship, I had one of the best summers of my life!
But beyond getting to know Whitney the DJ, I also became witness to the amazing love between her and Hillary.
Here's a little back story on how they met, directly from the two of them:
In 2005, I went with friends to hear the female acapella group at the University of Massachusetts, where I attended college. I quickly took notice of Hillary, whose rendition of Wild Horses completely floored me. When I decided to try out for the same group, Hillary was the only member who voted me out, thinking my voice wouldn't blend with the rest. Thankfully, Hillary was outnumbered by everyone else… and luckily so! We quickly became friends, best friends, girlfriends and eventually wives!
As you are scrolling through their beautiful wedding day, you have the treat of listening to a song Hillary sang to Danna (which they danced to at their wedding). It's safe to say between both of their talents, beauty, and smarts they are one of New York's hottest power couples in the LGBT community. It was truly a gift to be part of their wedding day and to become part of their lives.
Rain or Shine sung by Hillary to Danna

You have the right under the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (as amended by the Education Act 2002) to appeal to an independent appeal panel if your child has not been allocated a place at your preferred school(s). There is no right of appeal in respect of applications for nursery schools or classes.
If your child has not been offered a place at the school you prefer you can appeal to an Independent Appeal Panel.
School places in Ealing are very limited and places are allocated according to admissions criteria. We strongly recommend if you have been offered a place at an alternative school, that you accept the place that you have been offered whilst you await the outcome of your appeal.
In Ealing and across London it is not exceptional for siblings to attend different schools.
If you are the parent of a child with a statement of special educational needs and wish to appeal against the school named in the statement, or the fact that no school has been named, such appeals are considered by a Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal. Please call the SEN Helpline on 01325 392760 for more information.
Ealing Council organises appeals for all community schools in the borough and the following voluntary aided, foundation and academy schools:
- Alec Reed Academy (High)
- Alec Reed Academy (Primary)
- Brentside High School
- Brentside Primary Academy
- Christ the Saviour CE Primary School
- Dormers Wells Infant School
- Dormers Wells Junior School
- Edward Betham CE Primary School
- Featherstone High School
- Khalsa Primary School
- Northolt High School
- Villiers High School
- Wood End Infant School
Ealing Council organises the following types of appeals:
Coordinated admission appeal:
Infant class size appeal - Reception, Year 1 and Year 2
Regulations made under Section 1 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 limit the size of an infant class (a class in which the majority of children will reach the age of 5, 6 or 7 during the school year) to 30 pupils per qualified school teacher. Not all appeals for infant classes are infant class size appeals. It only applies when the class has 30 children.
The appeal panel will consider the admission authority's reasons for refusing your child a place and your reasons for appealing against their decision. There are limited grounds on which an infant class appeal may succeed for classes of more than 30. The panel will consider, as specified in 4.4 of the School Admissions Appeals Code:
a. Whether the admission of an additional child/additional children would breach the infant class size limit
b. Whether the admission arrangements (including the area's co-ordinated admission arrangements) complied with the mandatory requirements of the School Admissions Code and Part 3 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998
c. Whether the admission arrangements were correctly and impartially applied in the case in question; and
d. Whether the decision to refuse admission was one which a reasonable authority would have made in the circumstances of the case.
For the decision to be 'unreasonable' the panel will need to be satisfied that the decision to refuse to admit your child was "perverse in the light of the admission arrangements", i.e. it was "beyond the range of responses open to a reasonable decision maker" or "a decision which is so outrageous in its defiance of logic or accepted moral standards that no sensible person who had applied his mind to the question would have arrived at it". The panel will be reviewing the admission authority's decision in the light of the material available at the time when it made its decision.
Appeals for school years 3 - 11
The appeal panel will consider the local authority's reasons for refusing your child a place and your reasons for appealing against their decision.
The appeal panel will initially decide whether the school's admission arrangements are lawful and were correctly applied and if the admission of an additional child would cause prejudice. If the panel are satisfied that the arrangements are lawful and there has not been any error that led to a place being denied, they will proceed to considering whether the benefit to your child of going to your preferred school outweighs the prejudicial effect that admitting one more pupil will have on the school and the other children in the class
In-year admission appeals
All appeals for places that fall outside the main intake to primary and high schools in the autumn term, are called casual (in-year) admission appeals. If you do decide to submit a casual (in-year) admission appeal, please contact the in-year admissions team for an appeal form.
How to appeal for a place at a voluntary-aided, academy or foundation school
To appeal for a place at any other voluntary aided or foundation school not listed above, you will need to contact the school(s) directly for details of their arrangements and an appeal form.

RUMILLY, France, June 7, 2012 (AFP) — Unheralded Frenchman Arthur Vichot broke away to win the fifth stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné, as Britain's Bradley Wiggins held on to the overall lead.
The 23-year-old FDJ-BigMat rider was part of an eight-man early breakaway, and then raced clear of his fellow escapees seven kilometers from the finish line to take the biggest victory of his career.
Spain's Egoi Martinez came home in second place, 26 seconds behind Vichot.
''It was today or never for us with a hilly stage, the type that our team likes,'' Vichot said. ''Luck favors the brave. I have shown everyone that I am capable of progressing to the next level.
"To win a major stage at the Dauphiné is encouraging for the future," he said.
Team Sky rider Wiggins' hold on the leader's yellow jersey appeared under threat when Cadel Evans and Italy's Vincenzo Nibali attacked on the descent of the hors categorie (unclassified) Grand-Colombier, which will feature in next month's Tour for the first time.
However, Wiggins battled back with the help of his Sky teammates and rejoined Evans 45km from the finish to ensure that his 38s lead over Germany's Tony Martin stayed intact.
''We did what we had to do and, once again, we've defended the jersey,'' the triple Olympic champion said. ''There was a bit of bluffing going on from some of the local guys as we approached the top of the Colombier, which caught us out a bit, but that was about it.
"They warned us that it was a dangerous descent, but then went full gas and caused the bunch to split. Cadel and three of his guys managed to stay in that group and it was a bit of an error on our part.''
Evans, who moved up one place to fourth overall, hinted there could be more skirmishes to come.
''Sometimes you have to take those opportunities when they come your way,'' he said. ''In the end, it was reasonably successful because it moved me up one place on GC [general classification] and it has the possibility of helping me at least get on the podium in the future.''
