Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 I am writing this to you, my children, so that you will not sin; but if anyone does sin, we have someone who pleads with the Father on our behalf - Jesus Christ, the righteous one. | 1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. |
2 And Christ himself is the means by which our sins are forgiven, and not our sins only, but also the sins of everyone. | 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. |
3 If we obey God's commands, then we are sure that we know him. | 3 We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. |
4 If we say that we know him, but do not obey his commands, we are liars and there is no truth in us. | 4 The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. |
5 But if we obey his word, we are the ones whose love for God has really been made perfect. This is how we can be sure that we are in union with God: | 5 But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: |
6 if we say that we remain in union with God, we should live just as Jesus Christ did. | 6 Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. |
7 My dear friends, this command I am writing you is not new; it is the old command, the one you have had from the very beginning. The old command is the message you have already heard. | 7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard. |
8 However, the command I now write you is new, because its truth is seen in Christ and also in you. For the darkness is passing away, and the real light is already shining. | 8 Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining. |
9 If we say that we are in the light, yet hate others, we are in the darkness to this very hour. | 9 Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness. |
10 If we love others, we live in the light, and so there is nothing in us that will cause someone else to sin. | 10 Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble. |
11 But if we hate others, we are in the darkness; we walk in it and do not know where we are going, because the darkness has made us blind. | 11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him. |
12 I write to you, my children, because your sins are forgiven for the sake of Christ. | 12 I write to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name. |
13 I write to you, fathers, because you know him who has existed from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you have defeated the Evil One. | 13 I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, dear children, because you have known the Father. |
14 I write to you, my children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who has existed from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you are strong; the word of God lives in you, and you have defeated the Evil One. | 14 I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one. |
15 Do not love the world or anything that belongs to the world. If you love the world, you do not love the Father. | 15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. |
16 Everything that belongs to the world - what the sinful self desires, what people see and want, and everything in this world that people are so proud of - none of this comes from the Father; it all comes from the world. | 16 For everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the world. |
17 The world and everything in it that people desire is passing away; but those who do the will of God live forever. | 17 The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. |
18 My children, the end is near! You were told that the Enemy of Christ would come; and now many enemies of Christ have already appeared, and so we know that the end is near. | 18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. |
19 These people really did not belong to our fellowship, and that is why they left us; if they had belonged to our fellowship, they would have stayed with us. But they left so that it might be clear that none of them really belonged to us. | 19 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. |
20 But you have had the Holy Spirit poured out on you by Christ, and so all of you know the truth. | 20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. |
21 I write you, then, not because you do not know the truth; instead, it is because you do know it, and you also know that no lie ever comes from the truth. | 21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. |
22 Who, then, is the liar? It is those who say that Jesus is not the Messiah. Such people are the Enemy of Christ - they reject both the Father and the Son. | 22 Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist--he denies the Father and the Son. |
23 For those who reject the Son reject also the Father; those who accept the Son have the Father also. | 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. |
24 Be sure, then, to keep in your hearts the message you heard from the beginning. If you keep that message, then you will always live in union with the Son and the Father. | 24 See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. |
25 And this is what Christ himself promised to give us - eternal life. | 25 And this is what he promised us--even eternal life. |
26 I am writing this to you about those who are trying to deceive you. | 26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. |
27 But as for you, Christ has poured out his Spirit on you. As long as his Spirit remains in you, you do not need anyone to teach you. For his Spirit teaches you about everything, and what he teaches is true, not false. Obey the Spirit's teaching, then, and remain in union with Christ. | 27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit--just as it has taught you, remain in him. |
28 Yes, my children, remain in union with him, so that when he appears we may be full of courage and need not hide in shame from him on the Day he comes. | 28 And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. |
29 You know that Christ is righteous; you should know, then, that everyone who does what is right is God's child. | 29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him. |

IIt's Christmas Eve, 1910, in French Guiana. The thermometer reads 105. But that is the least of the problems facing the French shopkeeper and his family at what should otherwise be a time of celebration. The shopkeeper's boss is coming from France to check on the sales and accounts which are in a mess,and the man is no charmer. He is bringing his nephew, who was once the shopkeeper's daughter's boyfriend. Only now the boyfriend is conveniently betrothed to a French heiress. It seems the end of the road for the family's happiness. But…on the scene appear three convicts from Devil's Island who are, of course, lovable, and have some ingenious, but unorthodox, ways of solving things. "My Three Angels" is a charming comedy with interesting ideas about what is good and what is evil..

The following reviews feature concerts in which compositions by George Perle were performed along with other composers. Included are the Perle segments only; links provide access to the full review.
April, 2012 Why George Perle's Music is Not Serial by Paul Lansky George Perle's musical language is not derived from serial methods in which the order of events is predetermined in some way, but rather from tonality in which harmonic contexts and collections are referential.
Perle's 12-tone tonality operates on the principal that a harmonic vocabulary of chords that are related to each other in a special way can interact and proceed just as chords do in tonality. The relations between these chords are ultimately derived from symmetry and different 'keys' exist in the sense that different pitches can act as the centers of symmetry. In a given 'key' his music moves in unordered (i.e. not serial) ways from place to place in a harmonic landscape according to his whimsey. George was even able to improvise in it to a certain extent.
What his system owes to serialism is really only the idea that he is using a 12 pitch-class system of some sort. It is much closer in some ways to Bartok, Scriabin and some Stravinsky, than it is to Schoenberg.
28 October 2011 Bridge Records 30th Anniversary Concert Review The Daedalus Quartet offered the most arresting performance of the evening, of Molto Adagio (1938), an early work by George Perle (1915-2009). At 23 years old, Perle was already crafting his Berg-inspired and highly individual approach to harmony. The ensemble finessed the piece's inexorable, gradually unfolding chromatic lines with poise and sumptuous tone. If this kind of playing is an example of what Bridge may have in store for us over the next 30 years, the future looks bright indeed. 17 August 2010 Festival of Contemporary Music at Tanglewood Festival Has Familiar Faces, if Not Always Music, for an Anniversary Ensemble works with soloists were also hot items, and the festival could not have wanted a more inviting opening than George Perle's vigorous, at times surprisingly Beethovenian, Concertino for Piano, Winds and Timpani (1979), in a powerful performance conducted by Mr. Macelaru and played by William McNally.
17 April 2010 eighth blackbird: New-music ensemble melds technique, drama George Perle's Critical Moments 2 offered a panorama of contemporary compositional techniques. The piece proved not only fascinating but engaging. The Columbus Dispatch
13 January 2010 Eighth blackbird returns in fine form George Perle's "Critical Moments 2" (2001) was a stark contrast. More in the musical language of Schoenberg, its instrumentation relates to "Pierrot Lunaire," with the percussion taking on the vocal part.
It was an exploration in subtlety and economy. Each of its nine movements unfolded like a miniature character piece, as snippets of themes bounced between instruments like so many sparks. Each note was delivered with passion and split-second precision, and nothing was mechanical. Cincinnati Enquirer
16 November 2009 eighth blackbird cause to celebrate Indeed, one of the works heard Sunday — George Perle's deftly wrought, nine-movement piece "Critical Moments 2" (2001) — echoed an earlier account by eighth blackbird. Hearing the group's remarkable facility with this succinct, lightly pointed score testified anew to the composer's pristine ear and the ensemble's skill at making the densest instrumental textures clear and revealing. Louisville Courier Journal
October 2009 Eighth Blackbird and Gloria Cheng Wow L.A. Crowds Playing the music memorized and therefore free to roam around the hall, the performers finessed the carefully constructed miniatures of George Perle's "Critical Moments 2." Annenberg Digital News
24 September 2009 Eighth Blackbird flies high with Birmingham audience George Perle, the esteemed American composer who died in January, wrote "Critical Moments 2" for Eighth Blackbird in 2001. With its intricate weavings, periods of intrigue and repose, rhythmic delicacy and a colorful variety of textures, the nine-movement work taps into the sextet's sound world with great ease.... The Birmingham News
26 February 2010 Sextet x 2: eighth blackbird, Curtis group play together Though the Curtis musicians were a bit tentative during the Perle piece, performances were well in hand technically - no small thing in a modern-music program. As for eighth blackbird, its central strength lies beyond the notes, in the ability to project the most enigmatic musical gesture with a sense that plenty of meaning is there if you just look for it. Some musicians believe their job is to answer questions posed by the music; eighth blackbird encourages the listener to do that. -David Patrick Stearns, Philadelphia Inquirer, February 26, 2010
28 January 2010 Remembering George Perle, With Humor George Perle could seem a model of compositional sobriety: a composer of complex but poetic works, influenced by serialism but not wedded to its techniques or accents, and a theorist who wrote with clarity and passion about thorny aspects of contemporary style.
The Da Capo Chamber Players showed a different side of him at Merkin Concert Hall on Tuesday evening, just days after the anniversary of his death. In four of his works written for the ensemble or its individual players, lyricism and structural ingenuity remained at the core. But the real focus was Perles sense of humor and fascination with virtuosic display, qualities that pull him away from his academic moorings. These works were not just the illuminating or provocative essays you expect at new-music concerts; they were also fun.
Nightsong (1990), which opened the program, is a reconsideration of a movement from Perles Sextet for Piano and Winds (1988), with the ensemble reduced to a quintet and rescored for strings, winds and piano. The playful bounce of the wind version remains intact, as does the give and take among the instruments. But the new, more expansive palette lightens the textures alluringly.
The three-movement Triptych (2003) is packed with witty turns of phrase and high-wire technical effects, and is the kind of piece you would expect violinists to jump on. Perhaps this revival by Curtis Macomber, for whom it was composed, and Blair McMillen, who played the piano part with a vitality that matched Mr. Macombers on the fiddle, will put the score on violinists radar. It deserves a berth in the repertory.
That can also be said of Cadenza and Allegro (1985), a colorful cello piece with just about everything: scampering and slides; long, convoluted lines and pithy melodic cells; and rich double-stops and brisk running figures. André Emelianoff and Mr. McMillen gave it the polished, high-energy performance it demands.
Compared with the rest of the program the Sonata a Quattro (1982) may have seemed abstruse, at least in its angular opening. But as in so many of Perles works, brash passages melt into beautifully involved writing with a natural flow. Here the wind and string lines wrap themselves around one another, creating depth, movement, atmosphere and an implicit drama.
For perspective Mr. McMillen contributed streamy renderings of Scriabins Five Preludes (Op. 74), a set Perle regarded as influential. Patricia Spencer, the flutist, gave an appealing account of the Third Fantasy (2007) by Leo Kraft, whose music balances chromaticism and melody in ways similar to Perles. And the full ensemble played Odd Moments (1999, revised 2009), an accessibly tuneful, thoroughly tonal quintet by Paul Lansky, a former student of Perles who found a very different path. -Allan Kozinn, New York Times, January 27, 2010
Much has been made of Perle's spiritual connection to Alban Berg, though the range of material on this two-disc collection shows just how much Perle has made of those influences. Just listen to the two earliest pieces here - the charmingly crafted harmonizations of Two French Christmas Carols and the darkly expressionist Quintet for Strings, both from 1958 - and it's hard to conceive of these as coming from the same mind, to say nothing of the same year.
A comparable range exists even in his works for solo instruments. Although Perle himself credits his impetus in solo works to avoiding harmonic structure in a post-diatonic world, there's no mistaking his sonorous feel for the bassoon in Three Inventions (1962) and its lighter follow-up in BassoonMusic (2004), his last completed composition. His Solo Partita for violin and viola (1965) and Triptych for solo violin and piano (2002) likewise show a kindred relationship not only with the instrument but with the individual performer in mind.
This latter connection revelas itself most directly in Perles works for piano, where the range of his musical expression has palpable roots in his writing for specific musicians. Horacio Guttiérrez's playfulness in the Bagatelles is everywhere apparent, whereas Shirley Rhoads Perle's poetic lyricism pulls a profound depth from the Adagietto con affetto from Chansonns cachées.
The best example of this comes in the contrast between the Piano Concerto No.2, which rounds out the first disc, and the Serenade No.3 for piano and orchestra, which opens the second. Pianist Michael Boriskin (for whom the concerto was written) gracefully negotiates a difficult piece, asserting a soloistic presence with the Utah Symphony despite his own description of the concerto as having a "chamber-music ideal work[ing] collectively toward a common goal". Richard Goode (who premiered the Third Serenade) offers a truly chamber-music collaboration withe Music Today Ensemble under Gerard Schwarz, who collectively refract a full spectrum of musical colour from Perle's crystailline shapes.
Ultimately, the Serenade No.3 (reissued from Nonesuch) and the Second Concerto (reissued from Harmoni Mundi) make more than serviceable anchors to this collection, which offers probably the best performances and recording quality any composer could hope for. --Ken Smith, Gramophone, August 2007
"George Perle is a remarkably gifted composer who consistently manages to delight the ear while simultaneously stimulating the intellect. His music is immensely rewarding both as an aesthetic experience and as an object of structural, musical discourse: it is both well made and beautiful. The seemingly effortless balance achieved between these two aspects of his music is not easily accomplished; that he so consistently manages it suggests not just mastery but genius." — Richard Brooks, Notes, March 1995
27 January 2003; Premiere Performed by Speculum Musicae Triptych for violin "...Mr. Perle's astringent atonal voice spoke through textures and gestures of Haydnesque grace and lucidity." -Anthony Tommasini, New York Times, January 31, 2003
6 May 2002 Perle leads Chicago Chamber in eloquent tour of his favorites
"The Chicago Chamber musicians and the Museum of Contemporary Art could hardly have chosen a stronger program with which to launch the second year of their spring Composer Perspective series than the one presided over by George Perle... ...The concert's title, "Schoenberg and Us," had to be interpreted loosely. It was difficult, if not impossible, to trace a line of influence leadkding from Arnold Schoenberg through all six of the pieces Perle selected. One must assume he simply chose works that appeal to him and would make for a nourishing, widely ranging 2 1/2 hour program of recent chamber works. Almost four decades separate the Perle pieces heard at either end of the concert - Woodwind Quintet No.1 (1959) and Critical Moments (1996) - yet their harmonic grammar is the same. Each is characteristic of Perle in it's beautifully enameled sonorities and deft, good-natured instrumental interplay. The newer piece - six aphoristic movements for six winds, strings, piano and percussion - suggests a witty, capricious Anton Webern..." -John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune, May 8, 2002
"Genuinely and deeply moving music." -Oliver Knussen, Tempo, London, June 1981

manual w diagrams craftsman 917.257 631
I think it is part #72 on page 42 of my owner's manual I think it is the spring return that goes on deck blade brake area have no idea where it goes just by looking at their pics does anyone have a better visual that will help me? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well looks like Mownie is not going to help you after all. Walt Conner |
Heh Heh. Well, I'm trying, to the best of my disabilities, to gain some information on the subject. And apparently Model # 917.257631 was not included in the manual list at managemyhome on the Sears direct website. Viewing the IPL is no help anyway and none of the other Craftsman manuals I have access to really address that there is even a "blade brake" feature that must be maintained, let alone how to service it. And by clicking the link below, you can see a recently resurrected thread where the exact same problem was posed, and for all practical purposes, still remains "unresolved". I made a weak appeal for owners of similar Craftsman models to post some pictures of the blade brake system so that there would be some definite examples to show how it works and where the parts go. So far, no offers of pics have been posted by owners of same or similar models. I will create a thread dedicated to asking owners of the subject models to post some photos. |
Here is a link that might be useful: The unstoppable blade
Well I knew if anyone could dig out the info, you would. Walt Conner |
Seems to me, there is a double slot cut into the front top of the mower deck, and the spring hooks into that, and back to the double pulley mechanism, in the center of the deck. |
I have an LT2000 with a 42" inch deck. I'd imagine the deck has the same set up. How do I attach a picture from the user's manual about the deck and where the springs go? |
Hot dog!! Now we're getting somewhere. tomplum sent me some photos to work on too. I'll post tom's when I'm finished with the editing. Thanks guys. |
Here is a link that might be useful: picture postin' primer
Well... I followed the instructions of uploading photo's and hopefully this works. It's a picture of the deck on my LT2000 from the owner's manual. # 148 is the Spring Return Idler. If you want all the listing of each part included, let me know and I'll attach it to my photo bucket. |
Sboricic, Ha ha! well, I guess that joke is on me. I thought you had some photos of your deck that you took with your camera. And real life, real time, real pictures is what is needed. But at least you now know how to post pictures. :^) |
Next time I take the deck off to clean it, I'll get a few REAL pictures. I may try with it on too to see how well they turn out and post them. |
I am having the same problem, I can not lfind where the return sprong is on my model. The tractor model number is 917.252610. the return extension spring PN 146927 is missing from the deck, The diagram and pictures in the this thread do not match my deck. I do no have a slot for the spring in my deck. If anyone has a picture for my deck that would help me a lot. |
Your deck doesn't have a return spring on it. The only springs are the torsion springs on the brake arms. If you have binding when disengaging, likely the idler cam has a wear spot where the brake arm roller wore into it. An additional spring is used in the linkage at times above, along with the torsion spring on the lever itself. |

I think this spring fell off when replacing my drive and mower belts. Unfortunately, my blade doesn't disengage. Can't figure out where it goes, but pretty sure it doesn't belong on the mower deck. It's 3 inches long, 3/4 inch wide. Appreciate any ideas where it goes so I don't wear down the mower belt and safety of course. |
I can't quite come up with the correlation between that spring and the deck not disengaging. Springs like you have are most likely from the above lever or the brake rod. A model number would be a great thing 917XXXXXX or at least whether or not the deck engagement is done with a cable or not. |

We would like to save energy so we're thinking of keeping our freezer in a building that stays fairly cool in summer and is unheated in winter (we're in upstate NY, so it will get substantially below freezing). I've read that it's inadvisable to keep freezers outdoors or where temperatures are extreme, but the specifics were all about the dangers of keeping a freezer where it's too hot; can it b a problem to have a freezer in a really cold space? |
Follow-Up Postings:
We have a fridge/freezer in an unheated garage in Md. We had problems with the freezer in the winters. Kenmore came out and said that it had to do with the thermostat being controlled in the fridge section so that when outdoor temps dropped, the temp in the refrigerator was cold enough so the condenser would shut off so the stuff in the freezer would start to thaw. Not sure how it would work with a freezer but seems like it may shut off and on a lot due to outdoor temps. Here is a note on installing them in garages. Perhaps there are some models that are designed to operate effiiiently at lower temps but seems like the majority would not: Note: manufacturers do not recommend you keep a freezer in the garage or any other outbuilding, as it may have to use much more energy. Most models require a minimum ambient temperature of 10░C (50░F) to operate efficiently. If the outside temperature is any lower, the freezer will struggle to keep your food chilled ľ it may even start to defrost. If it does break down, the appliance may not be covered by the guarantee. |

We've had our 25+ yo chest freezer in our garage for over 13 yrs now. We live in a northern climate with below freezing temps for much of the winter. I have no idea what our energy consumption is with this set-up, but we have no problems with performance. |

Joanna, There is a problem with new units in below freezing conditions. I've been told by a salesman that it has to do with the new refrigerants used because of EPA regulations. If I have this correct, the new refrigerants liquify at higher temperatures, so the compressor doesn't work at temperatures below freezing. We're trying to replace a 50 plus year old freezer that is in our garage and having a problem. We may end up having to keep it, until it dies. There is one freezer, called a Gorilla that is supposed to work in unheated conditions. It's unfortunately out of our price range. Petro |

Keep the kids happy and active with our award-winning day camps and holiday programs. We offer a variety of fun, challenging and educational programs including swimming, sports, arts and more.
Day camps are offered during summer break, school holidays (Christmas, Spring Break), Professional Days and Teachers' Convention. Available at locations across Calgary for children ages 3 – 17.
To find day camp programs available right now, see Recreation's Day Camps Program Guide or build your custom program guide with My Rec Guide.
Parks also offers a number of nature day camps throughout the year.
We offer Arts Ventures programs for children during school breaks, winter holidays and summer holidays.
To find arts camps check out the Arts Centres program guide, build your own guide with My Rec Guide, or search the Arts - Visual section of the Online Recreation Program Guide.
The Calgary Soccer Centre will be offering day camps again next summer!
Visit registration for recreation programs.
Strict guidelines and supervision are provided in all day camp programs. To ensure the health and safety of participants, the programs have the following standards in place:
Our day camps welcome and include children with disabilities. Please make us aware of any disabilities or behavioural needs that may affect your child's participation. While our goal is inclusive participation, there are times when a child requires more support than our current ratios are able to provide and day camp supervisors reserve the right to request an aide. If required, it is the parent's responsibility to arrange for and provide the aide. Please contact the day camp supervisor to obtain the Aide Expectation Information.
Pre and post care is offered at most facilities for an additional fee. Pre-care at the Leisure Centres and Aquatic and Fitness Centres begins at 7:30 a.m. and post-care ends at 5:30 p.m. Pre-registration is required so it can be appropriately staffed.
To save time on the first day of camps, we recommend that the Day Camp Participant Information Form be filled in, signed and ready to hand in on the first day. This will ensure we have all your current important information on hand, and will save parents time on the first day. For the safety of all participants, authorized pick-up persons may be asked to produce photo ID. Please read your City of Calgary Recreation Receipt to ensure you have completed all the required forms for your child's specific program.
Need a reminder? Sign up for an e-mail reminder to bring your forms before your program starts.
1. What's the ratio of children to leaders?
The ratios are different at each facility but do not exceed 1:15
2. Can my child be with their friend?
If the friend is the same age and registered in the same program, then yes, your child can be with their friend if possible. Sometimes groups have to be separated for different activities. The final decision will be left up to the programming staff.
3. What are the exact activities during the camp?
The activities vary in each camp. The camp description found in the Recreation Program Guide or on-line is the best indicator of which activities will be included in each camp.
4. What should the children bring to camp?
Please refer to the day camp handbook for details on what children should bring with them to camp.
5. Should kids bring their own towels for swimming?
Yes most facilities can loan a towel to a child but they are expected to provide their own.
6. How much time is spent in the pool and at what time do they go into the pool?
This varies by facility and program.
7. Does the whole group go in for swimming lessons together?
Where possible yes.
8. How much time is spent with outdoor activities?
This varies by facility, program and weather.
9. What the off location trip is for the camps?
The off-trip locations for all camps is indicated in the Recreation Program Receipt that is emailed to all registrants.
Village Square Leisure Centre was awarded Most Inclusive Organization in 2011 by Between Friends Calgary as a direct result of the inclusion workers who staff their summer day camps.

The news wires of late have been filled with stories one after another of NFL players involved in some form of domestic violence. Listening to Roger Goddell's statement last week added to the feeling that something in this picture was missing.

As we tend to get older, the thought of referring to one self as a "senior citizen" can seem somewhat disheartening. Many people assume that a senior citizen is someone who has retired at the age of 65 but some organizations such as the American Association of Retired Persons only requires couples who have one spouse who have reached the ripe age of 50 to join.
Although many fear the term, there are several benefits to becoming a senior citizen. Many businesses have used the term to market to the elderly and offer substantial discounts for those of a certain age. Many restaurant chains, movie theaters, and chain stores offer discounts to seniors may of which have different requirement ages to participate.

Seriously. Just look at your Pinterest. Actually, to save you time, I've compiled some of the memes that stereotype women and define them by their body type.
And then I'm sitting over here all awkward, being like, Dang it, I thought I was a woman, but since I don't have curves, I guess I'm not.
But seriously. Let's talk about it.
It sucks that so many women have experienced the pressure to be skinny because of the media. It sucks that Victoria's Secret models all have the same exact body type. It sucks that there isn't more diversity portrayed on TV shows.
And it also sucks to post snarky memes about how skinny, curveless women are sub-standard, inferior women. My thighs and chest are not what make me a "real woman." Which, by the way, what the hell does that even mean? Does the fact that I have a vagina not make me a real woman? I'm pretty sure that's the only requirement for being a woman.
Throughout highschool and college, people would constantly comment on my body. Boys, girls, women, men, teachers, friends, coworkers.
"You're so skinny!"
"Girl, you need to eat a sandwich!" (Told to me by a fellow teacher at my last job. Awesome.)
"Do you ever eat?"
"What do you do, like workout all the time?"
"Are you anorexic?"
"Go eat a sandwich!" (What is it about sandwiches?)
"Why do you even work out. Seriously. You weigh like two pounds, so just quit."
"You need to put some meat on those bones." (Approximately 27 times)
"Haha, do you ever make yourself throw up?"
Rather than saying, "shut the hell up," like I should have, I would politely laugh at their inane, asshole comment and move on. It really bothered me, though, because I would never, ever make a comment to somebody struggling with being overweight, so the fact that they thought they could make a comment to be because I struggled with being underweight seems very arbitrary and hateful.
I didn't choose my body type. I didn't choose my struggles. Being a normal weight is a struggle and a constant challenge. I feel like I have to think about food way more than other people, because gaining weight is incredibly difficult. And no matter how much weight I gain, I'm never going to have a big chest or a big bootie. I will probably always be able to fit into twelve year old boy jeans. I will probably always have the option of not wearing a bra with my clothes.
And that's okay.
Categorizing women based on their curves is embarrassing. It's embarrassing that we as women are allowing these false, indecent ads to be pinned to our Pinterest boards and shared on Facebook. It's embarrassing that so few people are standing up and calling people out on crap like this. And it's embarrassing when people judge women on their bra size. Let's not allow judgement on skinny girls or curvy girls.

The Z30 smartphone is rumored to have a 5-inch Super AMOLED display with (1,280 x 720 resolution) which is big enough to be considered one of the new generation of over-sized smartphone/kind-of-a-tablet devices that are often referred to as a phablet.
The Z30 will run the latest version of the BlackBerry OS (vers. 10.2), powered by a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage, an 8 megapixel camera on the back and a large (2800 mAh) rechargeable battery inside.
TheStreet.com spotted some leaked photos and video on Vietnamese websites that claim to show the new Z30. A BlackBerry spokesperson said the company doesn't "comment on rumor and speculation."
In a statement that was released earlier today, the company confirmed that a special committee will enquire about possible joint ventures, strategic partnerships or even the sale of the company, but stressed that "there can be no assurance that this process will result in any transaction."

I am considering buying a dwarf Bartlett pear tree but it needs another pear variety for a pollinator. Does anyone know which pear varieties perform best in Frederick County area, Maryland? I love anjou and comice pears...do they grow well here? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Janie, I can't answer your question with any authority but there is a fruit & orchard forum here at gardenweb. There are several knowledgable pear growers from this area who post there. I grow Asian pears and they've done very well here. I would guess that European pears would do well also. Good luck. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Fruit & Orchards
Thank you Peggy, I'll check it out. Mmmm...Asian Pears are wonderful! |
Are you sure they need a pollenizor (a pollinator is the insect that moves the pollen)? I thought all pears were self-fertile. |
Thanks for teaching me the correct term Annebert. Wow...I thought the Bartlett tag said it needed a Pollenizor. I'll double check. Thanks! |
Bartlett pears are self-pollinating but a pollinator will help the tree bare better fruit. Bees help in pollination. |

[private]How will the three point line being moved back play into this season?
The guys who really shoot the three can hit them, so it won't bother us that much. It could become a little bit more of a specialty because teams will not have as many players who can shoot the three. So, that can change how our game plan works. Knowing the three is a little further will have us scouting team and looking for the changes.
As a team, how will you deal with the last two seasons early outs in the NCAA's?
You are going to be judged on what you do in March and we haven't done much. All of us were anxious last year to get back after the loss in our freshman year. This past year we learned you have to take the games one step at a time and when it comes March we'll worry about that.
How does it feel to be a captain for the Duke Basketball team?
It's something I dreamed about, wanting to be a captain and it's an honor to be named one at Duke University. I'll do whatever it takes to lead the team. I'm glad Coach and my teammates have confidence in me and I don't want to let them down.[/private]

The Empty Your Nest Philosophy
Clutter always comes from your past. Books you no longer read, projects not yet begun or never finished – they always draw you back to your past. Clutter does damage to your mental and emotional space as well as to your physical surroundings.
Emptying your nest is freeing yourself from things and energies that you no longer need in your life and making room for your future. It really is that simple.

I planted it last summer along with four other varieties, (Navajo, Arapaho, Ouachita, and an unknown). It was the first to leaf out this March, is growing along the ground (trailing), and is putting out blossoms on fresh new growth. When I looked up "Rubus Apache" I discovered it supposedly produces fruit on second year growth later than the other varieties, and grows in an erect shrub like fashion. Any ideas or guesses on what this is? Could it be an apache? At least it appears to be thornless....(so far). |

I believe I have an apache as well if I remember correctly. It definitely trails. |

Was the wholesaler Duarte Nursery on those tags? The tissue culture clone those thornless varieties and places like Lowe's sell them. The young canes are sometimes meek and fall over. Give it one year in ground the next year the canes will be stout. If you bought the plants with a cane already that was last years growth, and it might put out a few flowers.... |
- Posted by Centurion_ Verde Valley, Z8, A (My Page) on Thu, Apr 11, 13 at 14:33
The plant was obtained in a trade, but the sender is reliable. Just went out and took a better look at it. There was a two foot cane that, when I planted it last summer, I laid horozontal and along the ground and buried the tip to propagate a new plant. The blossoms are on 4 to 8 inch long new shoots that come off the cane. I had thought that the fruit would be on the old cane...not on shoots branching off the old cane. Is this the case? |
Just to be clear, the flowers aren't on a new cane that emerged from the soil this year -- they're on laterals that are growing off of an existing cane (the trailing one you mentioned)? If so, that's what it should be doing. I bought five Apaches from Simmons Berry Farm last spring, and one of them did much the same as yours -- it flopped over on the ground and tip rooted. The others behaved as they were supposed to and grew erect, upright canes. |

glanced through a couple of the short posts from various
business & thought leaders. One by Seth Godin caught my eye,
including this thought that is still bouncing around in my
head after returning home and continuing to coach my business
professionals all have a daily practice.
It's easy to create when you feel like it…the difference
between an amateur and a professional is that professionals
have a daily practice that they engage in consistently –
even when they don't feel like it…and that's led to their
productivity and results.
So my question for you (and myself) today is this:
What is your daily practice?

hello poppedeye. did you ever get any help with you phillips tv? there used to be a lot of help on the garden web by a guy named peewee. i have the same problem, faint clicking with no power at all. mine's a phillips/magnavox smart series 32" the exact model number is not clear: TS325?? C101 Chassis Model # 32D700-7570. most situations with our symptoms are pointing to an undersized burnt disc capacitor toward the back near the power supply coordinates: (G-5). some people on the garden web got advice from this peewee guy. to replace this burnt capacitor. most appeared successful. in almost all cases the capacitor showed obvious physical charring. mine shows no obvious damage to the capacitor so i'm wondering if it is something else. if you solved you problem or have any light to shed on this one i would greatly appreciate it. i hate to toss it without a fight. if anyone out there has some answers you help or advice is welcome!!! Happy Holidays to All!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Hello friends! I have a TV Philips Magnavox HD1918 C125 19" 1998. The problems is: When I turn it on, the screen goes white, then changes to gray with various scrolling horizontal white lines and one top to bottom vertical white line, near the left side. The sound is working fine and I can change the channels. I have changed the TDA3653B CI, but nothing different happened. Does anyone have any idea for repairing my TV? Thanks in advance! |

I had to work at the office when the fabricator came to template, although I had talked with him extensively about how we wanted things done. He was referred to us by the folks where we bought our granite, with great recommendations/reviews. Now I wish I was there to coach him.....
One side of our kitchen is about 1" longer than the other - the old laminate countertops weren't even, but rather were even with their respective walls (if that makes sense). Well, apparently this granite fabricator decided that the countertops on either side of the galley kitchen should be the same length, despite the length of the walls behind them. See these pics: What do we do? Can they come out and cut down that one side after it has been installed? Or will be have to build out the wall 1" to accommodate that overhang? I don't really want to do that, as we've just recently installed all new baseboards and doing so would require us to change those out. I'm totally lost. Having 1" extra counter space is fine and dandy, but not at the expense of looking good / normal! Anyone have any thoughts on how to rectify this? P.S. - These pics are horrible, I know, but I hope they can show what is going on. Also, don't mind the old cabinets and unfinished walls - thankfully that is going to change this week and will be done correctly! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have my installers here RIGHT NOW. Let me ask them. |
They looked at the picture and said "Why does it hang over the wall like that?" They said it will be messy, but they should be able to cut it, grind it and then polish it where it is since it is hanging over the edge of the wall. |
Oh my gosh, you are a life saver! I will plan to call them tomorrow morning and have them fix it. I'm so upset I couldn't be there today either - my husband is essentially useless when it comes to this stuff. He just let it happen. Ugh. |
I'm so sorry! They need to fix it!! I hope they're able to fix it quickly and painlessly. What on earth would make them think you'd want the counter hanging out beyond the wall like that? Duh! It is so important to be there when they do the template. Right now my BS tile is going in and I'm trying to hang out at home as much as possible. Every so often I get a question asking "How do you want me to handle this area?" Past experience has taught me that I want to be the one making those decisions! BTW, my hubby would have been just as useless making decisions if he'd been there. Good luck with the fix! |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Tue, Jul 24, 12 at 19:40
Did they do the standard 1 1/2" overhang, regardless of if the cabinets were so near the end of the wall? Would you actually be OK with having zero overhang on that counter run? (I wouldn't, as it protects your cabinets against damage.) Frankly, there doesn't look to be a good solution to this as the origination of the problem is the cabinets that are too long and too near the edge of the wall. I might ask them to clip the corners a bit to keep them from being obstacles to be bumped into, but I wouldn't want to go without an overhang on my counters at a high traffic point like that. |
Did they really think that was okay? It's not an ideal spot, sure, but that's gotta be something where you stop work and make a phone call while templating! Of course, if hubby signed off on it, you might have to pay for it...the overhang (or lack of it) didn't bother you before so it won't bother you now. Other than hanging some sort of googah on the end of the wall to sort of disguise it I'm not sure what else you can do. (I also don't think it'll really be an issue either way once you get used to it. I've seen much weirder in older homes and just thought it quaint.) |
- Posted by mama_goose (My Page) on Tue, Jul 24, 12 at 21:34
I have one of those quaint older homes, and the same type of counter 'overage.' I did it on purpose to eke out another inch of counter space beside the sink--I lost part of the old counter to an opening to a new addition, and didn't want to relocate plumbing. It really isn't an issue. We have frequent, large family dinners where everyone walks through that opening into the DR, and no one notices the overhang. I did something similar with the opening between the kitchen and LR, but I don't want to freak you out with that picture. ;) |
Don't let anyone cut, and polish where it is. You will be cleaning up after that for months. Have them remove the piece and take it outside. There may be an issue with the cabinets being to close go the end of the wall to allow sufficient counter overhang but I cant tell from the pics, could have something to do with me viewing it on my phone. |
I realize this isn't what you want to hear, but I don't think it's horrible. I've seen that, yes, in older homes, but I've also seen it in newer ones. One friend wanted to be able to hang her little step stool under an overhang. Another just wanted to protect the cabinets. If they're going to ruin the granite and have to start all over? I'd let it be and ask them for a concession of some sort. |
I know you are upset but I agree with Christine and don't think it looks bad either. Like others have said that overhang will protect your cabs and I would have never noticed it:) |
Be cautious sometimes the fix is worse than the problem. It looks fine to me and I wonder if it isn't one of those things where it wasn't what you envisioned so at first it seems very off putting (been there) but once you get past your initial surprise\disappointment maybe it won't be a problem. Your house your call. I would lay the ground work for the fix (building out the wall should be off the table) but not pull the trigger until you have lived with it for a bit. |
Thank you everyone! It is very confusing as to what to do. The issue is that they did a standard 1 1/2" overhang even though the cabinets are very close to the wall. Seems like it would be a mess to fix in place - they'd be shaving off about an 1", which doesn't seem like it would be all that easy. Taking it off and doing it in the workshop 45min away doesn't seem that easy either. I think, perhaps, that once we have "moved back in" to the kitchen, it might not be as apparent. It is very similar to mama_goose's picture (which I thank you for, by the way!). There will be things to distract your eye from it, maybe. So, I guess we'll live with it and see what happens. I may call the granite fabricator and just see what they could do, should we decide to have them rectify the situation. Thanks again - your ideas and thoughts were helpful! Glad to hear that, while it isn't totally right, it isn't the worst thing! |
- Posted by may_flowers (My Page) on Wed, Jul 25, 12 at 12:14
One idea is to wrap a chair rail around the corner and onto the adjacent wall at the same height as the countertop. |
I am no expert in this by any means but I think robbcs3 makes a good point. I hear that granite dust can destroy wood floors. Before they begin cutting the granite find out how they are going to control the dust. |
- Posted by advertguy2 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 25, 12 at 13:16
Doesn't look strange at all. If they provided the standard 1.5"or so overhang, then it's fine. No overhang would look even worse in my opinion. If that wall was part of an archway that was trimmed out, then it might look weird, but since it's just drywalled I think it's fine. |
- Posted by denali_2007 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 25, 12 at 13:18
I have no ideas for you other than talk with the fabricator about it. As someone else said, sometimes the fix is worse than the problem. I'm sure this overhang really bothers you but I bet no one else will ever notice. When we had our granite installed I was working and DH was in charge. We had talked about and I said I didn't want a 3 inch backsplash. When I got home, there it was!! I was furious. Two months down the road, it is not as infuriating as it was when I got home. I was afraid to have them remove it. |
Have you spoken with the installer yet? It looks like really the cabinet should have been shortened there to allow for the overhang, so I would be surprised if he didn't say it wasn't his problem to fix. Honestly though, like everyone else is saying...I think it looks just fine. It would look strange to me to have the counter end exactly at the cabinet. |
- Posted by weedmeister (My Page) on Wed, Jul 25, 12 at 15:54
I thought it looked normal. But I'm a guy and what do I know? I think lengthening the wall would be easier than cutting the granite. A couple layers of drywall, tape and paint and voila! But that depends on the moldings above and below. |
- Posted by loves2read (My Page) on Fri, Sep 14, 12 at 23:23
so what did you decide? I had one section of granite that was not cut just right and my contractor cut piece of 3/4 round, stained like cabinetry, and got it to fit to finish the seam... it is not perfect but it does not call the eye to it like it would have otherwise... |
loves2read - You know, we just left it. And guess what? Doesn't bother us one bit. In fact, I don't notice it and no one else does either. It is amazing how those little things seem so big, and then in the end, it is nothing. I need to post pics of the finished kitchen! We're about to embark on the next project so I've been totally preoccupied - from one project to the next. Thankfully this is it. |

[UPDATE: We received official word from Ubisoft's Alex Monney regarding the delay. You can check it out in the story below.]
Sorry to have to burst your bubble, but that Scott Pilgrim DLC you were looking forward to tomorrow will have to wait some more.
Ubisoft revealed that the long-anticipated online multiplayer and Wallace Wells content was delayed "for fine-tuning and to incorporate feedback from the passionate Scott Pilgrim community."
"Ubisoft is addressing feedback from the community on the best ways to honor retro games in the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game DLC in an accurate and respectful manner," the company said in its official statement. "Ubisoft, and the new team developing the DLC, respect creative properties and, of course, want to be sure to deliver a game experience that is a proper tribute to the Scott Pilgrim franchise."
It also sounds like a bit of retooling is being applied so as to not infringe on any IPs. This is evident after a tumblr blog revealed that one of Wallace Wells' animation sets seems to have been ripped straight out of Sega's GBA title Sonic Battle.
Yep, better change that animation lest you want to cause problems. Let's hope we won't have to wait too long.

And if the present-day adaptation of Ramayana is helmed by a master storyteller (Mani Ratnam), the moviegoer should, and must, expect the moon. Nothing less would suffice. After all, a Mani Ratnam film is not merely an experience, it's an event!
Special: All about Raavan | Images: Aishwarya, Abhishek at the Raavan London premiere
Mani Ratnam, who has penned the screenplay of Raavan, models his characters on the lines of the Ramayana:
You've come to expect scintillating visuals in the master film-maker's films and Raavan is no exception. But Raavan falters in narrating the story with dexterity. In fact, this one's a game of see-saw, with a dull and lifeless first hour, an absorbing second half and a weak, lacklustre climax.
Final word? Raavan comes with the baggage of humungous expectations, mainly for the one name attached to it: Mani Ratnam. Even though comparisons with the genius filmmaker's earlier accomplishments like Mouna Raagam, Nayagan, Agni Nakshatram, Geethanjali, Anjali, Roja, Bombay and Guru are sacrilegious since all belong to diverse genres, Raavan is nowhere close to those epics.
The benchmarks only get higher and higher every time Mani Ratnam makes a film and Raavan, unfortunately, is a step down. Sorry, several steps down!
Images: Abhishek Bachchan-Mani Ratnam: Third time lucky? | Aishwaryai Rai & the right moves
Dev (Vikram) falls in love with Ragini (Aishwarya Rai), a spunky classical dancer who is as unconventional as he is. They get married and he takes up his new post in Lal Maati, a small town in northern India.
In the town, the world of law is not the police, but Beera (Abhishek Bachchan), a tribal who has, over the years, shifted the power equation of the place from the ruling to the have-nots of the area.
Dev knows that the key to bringing order to any place is not to vanquish the big fish - in this case, Beera. In one stroke Dev manages to rip open Beera's world and set in motion a chain of events which will claim lives.
Beera, injured but enraged, hits back, starting a battle that draws Dev, Ragini and him into the jungle. The forest becomes the battleground – the battle between good and evil, between Dev and Beera, between Ram and Raavan.
Mani Ratnam's adaptation of the Ramayana begins with the wife getting kidnapped and her husband launching a massive hunt to track her down and nail Beera. The reason why Beera takes this extreme step is revealed much, much later, towards the post-interval portions, which means that Mani Ratnam follows the nonlinear pattern to narrate his story.
Let's talk about the factors that pull this film down. First and foremost, when you've a title like Raavan, the demon king, who couldn't be vanquished by Gods, demons or spirits, you expect Raavan aka Beera to be equally powerful, who could send a chill down your spine, who spells terror and fear.
But in Raavan, Beera comes across as a psycho. The streak of madness in his character makes a mockery of the character itself.
Also, his makeup and the shabby avatars of his family/henchmen do not make them look menacing. In fact, it makes the entire gang look repulsive.
Even the finale leaves a lot to be desired. Ideally, the film should've ended after the fight on the bridge, but the entire track thereafter seems like an add-on, which is forced into the screenplay.
On the plus side, the track, which starts with Nikhil's kidnap to the entire flashback portion, is attention grabbing. The factors that prompt Beera to spell havoc in Dev's life are apt, although Beera's sister's portions aren't easy to comprehend in entirety.
The fight on the bridge - between Abhishek and Vikram - is astounding. One hasn't watched something like this on the Hindi screen yet, I'm sure. In fact, the execution of each and every stunt (Shyam Kaushal, Peter Hein) is exceptional.
Every Mani Ratnam film is embellished with stunning visuals and Raavan boasts of mind-boggling visuals as well. Shooting the film at tough locales isn't easy and Santosh Sivan and V Manikandan's vision creates magic on screen. Every frame is worth admiring and applauding.
AR Rahman's music is excellent and the visual appeal only enhances the impact. I'd like to single out Behne De and Thok De Killi, two tracks that I'd like to hum even after the show concluded. In fact, the latter is very energetic in terms of choreography.
Vijay Krishna Acharya's dialogues hit you like a sharp object at times, which is in sync with the mood of the film.
Images: Raavan - Abhishek or Vikram! | Santhosh Sivan on the sets of Raavan
I've admired Abhishek's work in Mani Ratnam's earlier films Yuva and Guru, but despite putting his best foot forward, for some strange, inexplicable reason, Abhishek doesn't look convincing for the part. Also, his dialogue delivery isn't coherent at times.
Aishwarya is wonderful, looking ethereal and enacting her part with conviction.
Vikram is first-rate, although the role isn't substantial enough.
Govinda fails to create any impact whatsoever.
Amongst the plethora of actors, Nikhil Dwivedi (a revelation - very good]), Ravi Kishan (nice) and Priyamani (perfect) stand out.
On the whole, Raavan is a king-sized disappointment, in terms of content. From the business point of view, a Mani Ratnam film might ensure a healthy opening, but the weak script and the heavy price tag will make Raavan see red.
Rating: One and a half stars

National Mango Board promotes communications manager
The National Mango Board promoted Kristine Concepcion from communications manager to director of industry relations.
Concepcion, who joined the board in 2012 as a communications specialist, will now be responsible for industry communications such as crop reports, trade media and Mango Connection, according to Megan McKenna, director of marketing for the Orlando, Fla.-based board.
"The great work Kristine has done over the past couple years made her a natural fit for this position," McKenna said.
Vision Import Group increases distribution
River Edge, N.J.-based Vision Import Group, along with its partner company Vision Produce Company on the West Coast, will combine to offer national distribution of mangoes.
This year, the company will offer mangoes from Guatemala in a generic box. It's not their first time shipping Guatemala mangoes but Ronnie Cohen, vice president of sales, said the company wants to be sure about the supply before shipping them under its Van Gogh label.
"The goal is to pack everything under the Van Gogh label but it's a new supplier this season so we want to see how it goes," Cohen said.

Video and Control Systems for Distance Learning, Part 2
Oct 28, 2010 10:37 AM, With Bennett Liles
Have they got any sort of communication between the presenters and the production crew or is it a visual thing through the control room window?
It's visual from the window; we did plan IFB at one point—[a] pretty sophisticated intercom system for the camera people and for the presenter. However, that was asking a little bit much of an attorney to put something in his ear and actually try to understand the value of that, but eventually we'll get there. [Timestamp: 6:21]
Yeah, trying to work in an IFB can be confusing enough for an on-camera pro, especially if you have somebody in the control room who likes to stay on the channel and yak in their ear all the time, so I can see why they may have been a little reluctant on doing that.
There is a talkback system in the room; we put a Yamaha audio console in the back and through the public address system inside the conference center we do have a talkback situation so if from the control room somebody does want to address the audience and/or the presenter, that can be done from the control room. [Timestamp: 6:52]

So once you got the ball rolling on this project, did anybody suddenly come up and change their mind, or did you have to switch horses in midstream on the installation, or did it all go pretty much as planned from the beginning?
This is an organization of attorneys, which is an organization of committee; I think our organization was very patient. There was always change; there were always questions because they did not know. They came to us as obviously as professionals in knowing this space, but the target and the scope changed a little bit as we went through, and we were very patient and we understood what they were. I just wish I was able to build at their rate and not my rate, and I think that's fair but no, all in all, it was a very good project; obviously they kept us in check through our contractual agreements. You don't want to mess with 1,500 attorneys….
...which is the organization. So on our Ts and Cs, when we originally went into our agreement, it was reviewed very carefully; let's just put it that way. [Timestamp: 7:50]
Yeah, I guess if there's any time you want to make sure you have everything on paper dealing with an organization like that would be the one.
Yeah, that is it, and I will tell you what continually happens in projects like this is best laid plans and then obviously when you're doing a pretty significant T&I project with a contractor and you're putting a lot of money into a space, a lot of things do change in construction and construction costs sometimes can be very expensive if they're not thought of upfront. And with the Washington State Bars Association's best efforts, they really didn't understand the process, I think, of construction, therefore the construction cost went a little bit deeper than they anticipated. As a result things had to be scaled back in certain areas and well, where do you think they scaled back? [Timestamp: 8:41]
They made concessions everywhere, and the plan is still there to build it out to everything that it was supposed to be. We had to cut back in a few little areas; we would have liked three new cameras, but we had to use two of their legacy, but eventually we will get there. [Timestamp: 8:55]
Well, that's where having experience in this type of work really comes in so that you can avoid bricking yourself into a closet somewhere on the technical end of it and being able to leave room for expansion. So where do they get the crew people for this? How do they recruit those?
They have a full-time staff. Washington State Bar Association I think has maybe 125 employees, but for the staff of this, they have a department; usually the person that is the moderator is the technical director—the producer; it's like the one-man band and operates the robotic camera. They normally have two people in the control room, and currently the two-man cameras are pretty much in a lockdown mode. If they have to move one of them around they, I'm sure, recruit somebody within the organization to be camera person for the day. [Timestamp: 9:46]
Well, that's probably a format where just a little bit of experience goes a long way any how. So how wide a participation do they have with this? I mean, they have an idea of allowing their members to avoid having to do a lot of time-consuming travel; does it seem to be working as far as the participation level?
If Washington State Bar Association can save its members money and time; I mean, you take an attorney out of his office; that costs a lot of money. If they can accomplish these courses for their certification from their local location, that's a tremendous time savings and that's obviously what this is all about; you avoid the hotel cost, the travel costs, a lot of other costs other than the course itself by having to come to Seattle. But then there are those that do. I mean the classroom is set up for 140 people to attend these courses and I'm sure they're going to have probably five fold of people that will take them over the Web. [Timestamp: 10:40]
Well, any kind of distance learning or videoconferencing solutions now are being seriously considered against travel cost. Does Advanced Broadcast Solutions have any more projects like this coming up?
We sure hope so; obviously, this is in line with a lot of government-based, municipality-based projects, whether it's the city council or … the effect is all the same. It's being able to take today's technology, which is a very affordable technology, to use to communicate. Everyday we're developing new tools in our industry to make it easier, more affordable to bring video and audio communication tools to future clients. I think Washington State Bar Association is probably one of the first in the country—bar associations—to do this at this level. I think it will probably be the benchmark for others to come, and we hope to be taking this model to other states and having them see the success that Washington State Bar Association had.

All right, Mark, I wish you a lot of luck with it. It's Mark Siegel of Advanced Broadcast Solutions and the project is the Washington State Bar Association's distance learning and conferencing facility in Seattle. Mark, it's been great having you here to tell us about it.
Thanks again.
