Terrain has implemented a Quality Assurance program to ensure that our customers continually receive a quality product free of defects, poor workmanship, or color shading problems. The quality control auditing of all items will be conducted in the Terrain Distribution Center by the Quality Assurance Department. The audit sample will be pulled on a random basis, and the acceptance of the order will be based on the Military Standard 105E as a guideline.
A) Vendor Out-Going Merchandise Inspection Policy
Terrain requires vendors to perform independent 'out of the box' Quality Inspections on their own products before shipping orders.
All items should be inspected by workers before packaging; however, Terrain also requires that company Quality Inspectors (or Management in lieu of a designated person) inspect a portion of packaged boxes before releasing them for shipment. This involves opening packaged boxes and fully inspecting the item.
B) Distribution Center Inspection Policy
All incoming merchandise is inspected by the Distribution Center (DC) Quality Assurance Department for order accuracy and quality. This is to ensure what is received matches what was ordered, and that the product meets Terrains strict quality expectations.
Inspections are performed by the DC Quality Assurance Inspector.
The inspection of an initial sample per SKU will be performed to check for the accuracy of the order. The physical condition and description of the item will be verified against what was actually ordered. (i.e. Does the 42" wooden bench with stenciling, match the description provided on the Product Information Sheet.)
Once order accuracy has been confirmed, the QA Inspector inspects for quality compliance.
'Inspection Sampling Plans' are used to determine the number of items that must be inspected to give a representative sample of the complete order at pre-determined level of assurance.
C) Rejected Merchandise Procedure
- Any goods that fail inspection due to inferior quality, incorrect product, damages in transit due to packaging, or incorrect packaging or labeling will be subject to a vendor charge back.
- Charge backs may include a total replacement or credit for defective merchandise.
- Terrain will charge the vendor for the direct cost of labor incurred for 100% inspections.
If defective merchandise is shipped, Terrain will email the vendor for a Return Authorization (RA) # to return the goods. Vendors are required to pay for the return freight. If replacement merchandise is sent it must be shipped immediately and the vendor will pay for the shipping of this merchandise.
If damage occurs to merchandise, due to inferior packaging, prior to its arrival at the Terrain Distribution Center, Terrain is absolved of the total cost of the merchandise.
D) Sample Requirements
It is required by Terrain, that when your product has been chosen for inclusion in the assortment, that the vendor furnish us with a sample as outlined below. The sampling policy may be modified at the discretion of the buyer. Failure to deliver all samples and information in a timely fashion may result in the cancellation of all purchase orders. All samples are considered a cost of doing business and should be furnished and sent to Terrain at the vendor's expense, unless otherwise stated and approved by the Buyer.

Lytch said L&M lost 3% to 4% of its oldest spring plantings, the ones planted in December, to the freeze and experienced some damage on the rest of its crop but has seen recovery.
Six L's Packing Co. Inc. had some acreage near Estero that went undamaged by the freeze.
"We have a lot of younger pepper that will be fine," said Gerry Odell, chief operating officer of farming and packing for the Lipman Family Cos., which grows and packs tomatoes and vegetables through Six L's and Custom Pak.
"We had a lot of pepper acres that were somewhat affected by the cold weather that will return to production faster than the product that was just transplanted.
"The ones in the midst of planting (during the freeze) came through fine. We will have good pepper production sometime in early March."
Peppers grown in the Devil's Garden area east of Immokalee sustained heavy damage.
Some growers there were able to cover some of their crops and had varying results, Odell said.
Growers with fields in the traditionally warmer lands on the East Coast saw only minor damage, Odell said.
Delayed production
The unseasonably cold weather that hit central Florida in January and February will likely delay the start of that region's harvest.
"Things should be delayed a little bit here," said Gary Wishnatzki, president of Wishnatzki Farms, Plant City. "People were concerned that there could be quite a bit of overlap with south Florida this year as south Florida will come in a little later this season."
Wishnatzki said he expects central Florida to begin pickings in early May, a little later than the deal's normal mid- to late April start.
Wishnatzki's growers were wrapping up plantings in mid-February.
In south Florida, Six L's plans to ship peppers through early May.

Christian Louboutin Champagne Le Rituel Box Set by Piper Heidsieck
Famed shoe designer Christian Louboutin has launched his own champagne in partnership with eccentric champagne house Piper Heidsieck. To commemorate, they have released a limited edition "Le Rituel" box set resurrecting a ritual of the 1880s that is emblematic of Europe at its peak: drinking from the shoe of a woman. This crystal stiletto designed by Christian Louboutin of course has a red sole like the famous shoes and is included in this limited edition gift box set. Available to pre-order now at wine.com.
Piper-Heidsieck is known for being somewhat "eccentric". In 2007, Viktor & Rolf, the Dutch designers well-known for turning things upside down lent their unique abilities to Rémy Cointreau's Champagne house Piper Heidsieck to create Viktor & Rolf Rosé Sauvage. In true V&R style, the champagne bottle's bottom becomes its top, and its back becomes the front. The accompanying ice bucket and champagne flutes share a similar illusion, with the flute turning upside down into a cocktail glass.

"It stopped just short of a fistfight."
This was the lead to a news article in the Banner regarding the sheriff candidates debate.
The article was written by Brian Graves, and he started the article quoting someone (who knows who?) regarding the debate.
This is a totally misleading and inaccurate statement and not even close to being truthful or factual.
Both Sheriff Ruth and Rep. Eric Watson were never even close to a fistfight. They both conducted themselves better than that.
To head a news article on the front page of the Banner with such an inaccurate statement when neither candidate was ever close to a fight is misleading the public.
You all can do better than this!

Visitors at the Brookefields Mall on Sunday had a chance to win free tickets for The Hindu Friday Review November Fest. Music lovers in the city, including students and homemakers, came forward to try their luck by answering a volley of questions thrown at them.
The questions were based on various publications of The Hindu group. Each participant was given a chance to win an entry pass for a day's programme at the music fest to be held at Corporation Kalaiarangam, R.S. Puram from November 17 to 20.
"Naming the supplements issued on different days would be a cakewalk for all the regular readers of The Hindu," said K. Karthik, one of the participants. The participants' knowledge of history was also tested with questions on 'Triplicane Six', the group of six members who had started the newspaper in 1878.
"We are interested in music. The Hindu had conducted the programme last yearand we thought of attending it this time. We are happy that we have already got one ticket free," said R. Srikanth and T.R. Saranya from Vadavalli.
S. Gopinath, A. Abdu, S. Arun who had come to the mall for Sunday shopping said it was a pleasant surprise for them.
The three friends said they love music and were happy to win free tickets to attend the programme.

So far so good. I use this with the Dove Beautifully Clean shampoo on my straight, thick, slightly coarse hair. I blowdry every day, but I don't color my hair or use styling products, so it's in fairly good condition. It gets really dry and static-y in winter, though, so I need a heavier conditioner. The conditioner covers pretty well (you don't seem to need that much), but it does take a while to rinse out. It doesn't seem to increase my blowdrying time, and it gives me soft hair without a coated feeling or dullness. I hope using it with the shampoo for normal/oily hair will keep the buildup at bay. The scent is fairly strong but it dissipates after I dry my hair. It was around $3 at the grocery store and comes in a sturdy bottle that's easy to operate. All in all, a good, inexpensive winter conditioner.
this is the best conditioner i have ever used...it works so well on my straight black hair. everyone noticed the difference: hair is shinier, softer and less fizzy! i love the smell too!!!!
*edit* looking back now i dunno why it works well on my hair because now it does nothing.
While I loved the way my hair felt and smelled after I used this, it made me break out in hives all over my face/neck/back when I got out of the shower. I couldn't figure out why I reacted until I used it the next day and the same thing happened. This (and the shampoo) were the "new" things I was using, so I have to chalk it up to that. Bummer. I've been happy with dove products NOT irritating my skin until now. VERY DISAPPOINTING.
Great scent, leaves my hair soft and shiny. I have fine wavy/curly hair and it does not get weighed down using this conditioner. Definitely repurchase.
More reviews by XxPinaColadaxX
This is my HG conditioner :-D I love the way this smells. I wouldn't call it "Intense" but it's certainly the most moisturizing conditioner I have ever used. My hair really does feel like it's weightless, and I have really thick hair. It leaves my hair shiney, soft and smelling good. :-)
*Edit* I have found out that this conditioner has a very high silicone content, which isn't an issue for my hair, but I would rather use hair care products with low silicone contents. Also, the scent of the Dove Intense Moisture Conditioner was too strong and overwhelming for me.

Usually, I could skip the whole hair drama; but with corkscrew curls prone to frizziness, I have no choice. I buy this in giant discount bottles from Costco, and since I have short hair and a slightly compulsive behavior; it still lasts me for more than four months. The only problem was that the packaging (for the bulk bottle, with a push top) broke, and so the nozzle becomes very messy and caked. Wonderful conditioner; I dye my hair with a semi perminant dye and it helps keep the after-bleached hair soft and nice.
This product is heaven sent. It is like an intense conditioner that you can use daily. It is thick and instantly softens and detangles my hair. I leave it on for 3 minutes and then rinse. My hair is soft and shiny after I blow dry it then. And it smells great. I only gave it a 4 though because I think this is what caused my back to have small breakouts. I wash after I condition, but the conditioner still breaks me out. I think my back has gotten used to it though because I dont have the breakouts any more. This conditioner is wonderful though either way.
I really like Dove Intense Moisture Conditioner as an everyday conditioner, and it's the best drugstore cond. I've ever had. Because of its silicones, it really smoothes out hair and makes it shiny and manageable. I have very thick hair which needs serious detangling and this works. The shampoo, though, can be skipped-- I used to use it a lot and it really built up and made my head itchy. I have mid-back length hair and am growing it out, so this is a good everyday smoothing treatment, and I can afford to use lots of it. I would recommend using a deep conditioner twice a week though, and also a clarifying shampoo to rid your hair of the silicones.
(From Paula Begoun: "Silicone is an outstanding hair-care ingredient and the unsung hero of the hair-care world. Not only does silicone add reflection and sheen, it also imparts an unbelievably sensual, silky feel. The only trick with these types of products is to not get carried away thinking more is bettertoo much can build up to a greasy mess that looks more wet and sticky than shiny.") I also love the scent-- the clean scent of Dove soap, just a bit sweeter.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Well my hair is curly, dry, and frizz-prone..so I guess this stuff wasn't strong enough for me. I mean, yeah, it has a nice smell and it "moisturizes", but not enough. My hair is still frizzy after conditioning, which I don't get with Aussie 3 minute miracle. This may work if you don't need as intense moisturizing. It's really not that "intense" compared to other products.

Newspaper: Super Mario's Gym Will Focus On "Fighting Fit"
For years, Mario Roberto ran jiu-jitsu and mixed martial arts classes out of the Fourth Street Gym in Rochester.
But Roberto had bigger dreams. So after years of saving and planning, Roberto has opened a gym he can call his own.
Roberto, who originally is from Brazil, opened the Mario Roberto Jiu-Jitsu Academy earlier this year, with a grand opening planned for this month.
It's a state-of-the-art facility, featuring a complete weight room, a wide-open mat area, locker rooms, an impressive range of cardio machines and a 30-foot MMA-style cage.
In short, it has everything Roberto envisioned.
"I had been saving for quite a while, and I guess it was somewhat of a risk," Roberto said. "I put a lot of money into the facility. But it was something that needed to be done. And now I get the satisfaction of walking in here and seeing the kind of gym I envisioned."
Roberto's new gym, which is located on the north side of the Slumberland North complex (4915 Highway 52, Suite B), has been designed to accommodate students of all kinds, from professional mixed martial artists to beginners who are simply looking to get into shape.
Members at MRJJA will have access to high level martial arts and fitness training, and Roberto said there will be a special emphasis placed on the fitness aspect.
Classes in jiu-jitsu, grappling, Muay Thai, self-defense and mixed martial arts are being offered. Roberto also would like to rejuvenate the kids program.
"We are going to be able to cater to people who don't necessarily want to train MMA, but want to get into the MMA lifestyle," Roberto said. "MMA fighters are probably the fittest athletes on the face of the earth. But you don't necessarily need to be a fighter to train like one. We're calling it 'fighting fit.' There's fit and then there's fighting fit."
Roberto's "fighting fit" starts in his meticulously designed weight room. There, gym members will find a full set of kettle bells, gymnastics rings, bumper plates, glute-ham raise benches and much more.
"We've tried to create a strength room that revolves around functionality rather than looks," Roberto said. "We're offering something that other health clubs or gyms don't do. We are training for performance here and performance alone. The looks are just a side result."
Roberto took the same approach with his cardio equipment, securing top-of-the-line "Life Fitness" machines.
While Roberto, who was a licensed and practicing medical doctor in Brazil before moving to Rochester in 2004, has some high-profile regular clients like UFC veterans Travis Wiuff and Tommy Speer, he said the majority of his clients will never compete.
"We want the layman to come in here and be able to train like a fighter," Roberto said. "We want everyone to be able to go through the things that our pro fighters do to push himself or herself to the limit and to get to their goals. We feel like what we offer can do a lot more on a personal-life basis, with weight loss, self confidence, self-defense skills."
Roberto always offers free trial classes for those simply looking to "check out" the gym. Plus, during the grand opening month of June, Roberto is offering a promotion — new members receive the first month free.
Roberto, who is the longest tenured Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt (1998) in Minnesota, is betting new members won't be disappointed.
"Our goal is to provide the best experience for every single one of our clients," Roberto said. "We want to provide the best fitness facility around, and we believe that the hard training that's involved with martial arts can help anyone."

Hello all:
My husband and I are currently reparing walls and moldings in our 1920's bungalow/mini Colonial in Massachusetts. We have had a lot of trouble stripping the woodwork in order to restore it or repaint it. We need to replace at least some of it. I'd like to keep to the original character, and see if I can match the molding. Before talking to a woodworker to have it custom milled, I would like to see if we can purchase it. HD doesn't have it at all. Does anyone have any online sources they could recommend? If posting a picture will help, I will try to take on in the next day or so. (My camera is acting up a bit, sorry!) In the meantime, the current molding is about 4" wide. It has a 2" recessed panel in the center, with a 1/2" ridge on either side, and a 1" panel on the outer edge. I have found "belly band" molding, and it sort of looks like that, but the center panel is flat instead of rounded. Thanks in advance for any advice you may be able to offer! Take care,

Hi Have you thought of "This old house?" They won't do the work of course but could give you long list of shops that do. Check their website on PBS. They're headquartered in Boston so should be even more helpful. Maybe you could even get them to do the work for you!! gary |
Hi, find an architectual millwork shop in your area and have them take a look at your mouldings...we do it often and have a set of cutters made to machine the profiles per different homes and ages Sometimes they're built-up mouldings and it takes a trained eye to figure them out. bruc |
There are still real lumberyards around that make doors and moldings to order. You probably will have to pay a setup charge, but should not have to have knives made top match an old molding in the same geographic area. Most large cities have at least one place that can make any molding used in the area for the past few hundred years for a price. Expect to pay a pretty decent amount though. Old moldings often require thicker wood, and many are built up from multiple pieces. Wide door jambs are commonly at least two pieces. |
Check out the woodwork on the inside of your closets. Its usually the same as the rest of your house. I removed mine and replaced it with new wide woodwork. No one sees the inside door jamb anyway. |

I to am looking to strip molding for an 1910 home and can't find any solution for this molding.I have spent a ton of money on all these amazing stripper with not much of any result. |
John, you should start your own thread, and provide more detail about what you've tried and what the results have been. But the topic has been discussed often on the Old Home forum, you might search the past threads there for helpful information - use search terms such as "stripper" (no joke intended :-) or "moldings" or both. And that might be a better place to post your thread than here. KarinL |
Since you are in Massachusetts try Anderson McQuaid in Cambridge they have tons of moulding profiles. Most in stock mouldings are poplar, but will run stock in any species. http://www.andersonmcquaid.com/ |

I first chose the one on top because it reminds me of the barbie movie I saw online. It's quite simple, just a tube cut dress but it's embellished with glittering rhinestones. Hmm…this will make you stand out from the crowd! I'll probably wear this when I need to dance and party all night long.
The second dress, I'll probably wear it during a formal event. It looks sophisticated and much suitable for a formal evening event. Lastly, the third dress i've chosen may be quite unique. It needs confidence to have this dress stand out. It's colorful and fun to wear!^^
Accessories are also important in one's outfit. Your attire may be completed with a nice piece of jewelry like a statement necklace that would totally match a sexy tube top gown or a pair of earrings that will make the whole outfit stand out from the crowd. May it be a pair of earring, a necklace, or a bracelet…DressV has it!^^
So what are you waiting for?

Translation: CU's Electric Division revenue improved in May, but water sales are down; at least for now. But that's expected to change as the summer sun begins its seasonal sizzle across Bradley County.
In his monthly financial update, CU controller Marshall Stinnett told Cleveland Board of Public Utilities members in a recent session that the local utility's cost of purchased power as a percentage of retail sales [from TVA] decreased to 82.8 percent compared to 84 percent in April.
In budgetary terms, that's a good. It means CU paid less to TVA for purchased power. Whereas retail customers pay Cleveland Utilities a monthly bill for electricity, CU pays a wholesale bill to TVA for purchased power each month.
According to a chart presented monthly to the board, Stinnett showed that CU's Electric Division revenue is slowly rising thanks to an accompanying increase in the number of "degree days." In the utility industry, a degree day is loosely defined as the increased use of air conditioning required to cool a home or business in the summer (cooling degree day) or the increased use of heating to warm a home or business in the winter (heating degree day).
The number of degree days traditionally jumps during months with temperature extremes like the dog days of summer (July and August) or the dead of winter (January and February). Months like March, April, September and October are often considered transition periods because of moderating temperatures, thereby creating fewer degree days.
In May, CU recorded 310 cooling degree days, compared to 282 in April.
"As we look forward to the month of June, the number of degree days will exceed that of May," Stinnett said. "This is driven by the increased summer temperatures that we have continued to experience across the area."
Those rises in the mercury are coming into play more and more now that July has arrived, and that means power customers will be cranking down the thermostats of their cooling units. Although it's a trend that follows the seasons, it's one that the utility industry depends on for revenue.
"As we reach these summer months, it is imperative that we continue to track the number of degree days incurred compared to the sales and purchased power margin," Stinnett told the board. "This will be imperative when looking toward FY 2015."
In May, CU electric sales revenue totaled $7,582,359, an amount that was offset by the purchased power bill to TVA of $6,277,642. This resulted in an operating margin of $1,304,717. CU's budgeted forecast was $1,176,955. Other revenue sources in the division contributed $125,616.
For the month, the Electric Division recorded 30,486 customers.
Operating expenses in May were $1,403,530, compared to the budgeted forecast of $1,398,761.
May's net income was $26,803 which bettered the forecast of a $101,309 net loss.
"This brings the division to a combined net income of $968,689 for the year to date," Stinnett said. "This is compared to a budgeted net income of $487,532 for the same period ended. We can also compare this to the previous year which recorded a $1,339,441 net income during the same period."
For May, as is expected to be the case for the rest of the summer, the key is customer demand.
"During the month of May, the Electric Division exceeded budgeted revenues, operating margin and net income," Stinnett said. "The main driver of this was the increased demand during the month of May."
He added, "This is related to an increase in the number of degree days for the month of May as compared to April. As we look forward to the month of June, we must be cognizant of the margin received during the summer months. A steady margin will help the division to continue to meet budgeted results for FY 2014."
Water Division
Consistent rainfall in May dampened CU's water sales slightly. For the month, the division sold 227,141,250 gallons of water, compared to 234,102,750 gallons during the same period last year. This resulted in water sales revenue of $1,024,923, compared to the budgeted forecast of $1,035,138.
Other revenue sources added $85,916.
For May, the Water Division recorded 30,576 customers.
Operating expenses in the division were $1,097,158, which is actually lower than the budgeted amount of $1,108,790.
"The division recorded an operating income of $13,681 for the month of May, with an operating income of $483,117 for the year-to-date," Stinnett cited. "The actual operating income for the month was less than budget by $4,953. The resulting year-to-date numbers are compared to a budgeted operating income of $346,153."
Wastewater Division
In May, the division billed for 151,685,250 gallons of wastewater, compared to 146,320,500 gallons during May 2013.
"This resulted in wastewater treatment revenue for the month of $847,784, as compared to a budgeted amount of $818,582," he explained.
Other revenue sources added $63,331 for the month.
For May, the division recorded 18,149 customers.
Total Wastewater Division expenses were $848,436, compared to the budgeted forecast of $867,323.
"Operating income was $62,679, as compared to a budgeted amount of $10,219," Stinnett reported. "This was an increase of $52,460 over budget. The Wastewater Division exceeded budgeted revenue numbers and budgeted operating income for the month."
The division's year-to-date earnings total $875,290, which far exceeds the budgeted forecast of $345,425 for the same period.

Oscar Peterson
Oscar Emmanuel Peterson, CC, CQ, OOnt, jazz pianist, composer (born 15 August 1925 in Montréal, QC; died 23 December 2007 in Mississauga, ON).
Oscar Emmanuel Peterson, jazz pianist and composer (b at Montréal 15 Aug 1925, d at Mississauga 23 Dec 2007). The second-youngest of five children, he was raised in the poor St Henri neighbourhood of Montréal. His father, Daniel, a CPR porter and amateur organist, insisted that all of the Peterson children should study music, each in turn teaching the next youngest. Thus Peterson's first instructor was his sister Daisy, who would in fact become a respected piano teacher in the Montréal black community; her later pupils included the jazz musicians Oliver JONES, Joe Sealy and Reg Wilson.
Peterson subsequently studied during his youth and teens with two teachers of widely dissimilar backgrounds: Louis Hooper, a classically trained Canadian veteran of the Harlem jazz scene of the 1920s, and Paul de Marky, a Hungarian concert pianist in the 19th-century tradition of Franz Liszt. Peterson's growing command of the keyboard reflected his classical background; his future, however, lay in JAZZ. Under the influence of the popular American pianists Nat King Cole, Art Tatum and Teddy Wilson, Peterson emerged during the early 1940s as a celebrity in Montréal, performing on local radio and appearing as the featured soloist from 1943 to 1947 with the Johnny Holmes Orchestra, a popular - and otherwise white - dance band.
Peterson made his first recordings for RCA Victor in March 1945; although these early releases, notably I Got Rhythm, capitalized on his skill in the popular boogie-woogie style of the day, they also revealed in nascent form the extraordinary piano technique that would characterize his playing throughout his career. Their popularity, together with the interest generated by his exposure on such CBC Radio variety shows as Light Up and Listen and The Happy Gang, as well as two western tours in 1946, established Peterson as the first jazz star that Canada could truly call its own.
Leaving the Johnny Holmes Orchestra, Peterson formed his own trio and made the Alberta Lounge in Montréal his base from 1947 to 1949. He continued to appear on radio and to record; the 32 tunes that he recorded in Montréal for RCA Victor were collected on CD by BMG France in 1994 and repackaged by BMG Canada as Beginnings, 1945-1949 in 1996.
By the end of the 1940s, however, Peterson had all but exhausted the possibilities of the limited jazz market in Canada. In September 1949, at the suggestion of the American impresario Norman Granz, he made his US debut as a "surprise" guest at a concert of Jazz at the Philharmonic - an all-star troupe of American musicians - in Carnegie Hall, New York. Peterson's brief performance caused a sensation, launching the pianist, then 24, on an international career of remarkable productivity and great distinction. He would maintain his home in Canada, however, moving in 1958 from Montréal to Toronto and later to nearby Mississauga.
With Granz now his manager, Peterson began in 1950 to tour with Jazz at the Philharmonic. His bravura performances, both in concert and on record, immediately captured the imagination of the American public, as witness his first-place showing during the early 1950s in readers' polls conducted by the Chicago jazz magazine Down Beat. He made his first US recordings for Granz's label, Verve, in 1950 with Ray Brown as his bassist; Brown would be a stalwart of the pianist's working trio for the next 15 years, with a guitarist - Barney Kessel or Herb Ellis - as the third member until 1958, and a drummer, Ed Thigpen, thereafter.
The Peterson trio of this period was celebrated for its seemingly telepathic sense of interplay and for its collective virtuosity, as documented by its many concert and club recordings for Verve, perhaps most notably Night Train (1962). Peterson subsequently worked with a variety of bassists, guitarists and drummers; in the 1970s he performed almost exclusively as a solo pianist before returning to the small ensemble format. He maintained a rigorous international touring schedule well into the 1980s but reduced his itinerary dramatically after a stroke in 1993 affected his use of his left hand.
Peterson continued to record, however, and by 2001 had completed more than 130 albums under his own name, principally for Verve (1950-64), MPS (1967-71), Pablo (1972-86) and Telarc (beginning in 1990). He also made recordings in the 1950s and 1960s for Verve as an accompanist to Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Lester Young and others; many of his own recordings from the 1970s for Pablo found him in collaboration with Fitzgerald and such other major figures as Count Basie, Roy Eldridge, Dizzy Gillespie and Stéphane Grappelli. Inevitably, his sensitivity in these supporting roles has been overshadowed by his virtuosity as a soloist.
Peterson's other activities in music were similarly undervalued by his pre-eminence as a pianist. He was, for example, known to sing in a smooth, relaxed style similar to that of Nat King Cole. As a composer, he wrote and recorded a variety of his own jazz themes including the popular Hymn to Freedom, which celebrated the US civil rights movement of the 1960s. His most significant work was The Canadiana Suite (1963), an eight-part programmatic survey of the country's distinguishing features, including Wheatland (the Prairies) and Land of the Misty Giants (the Rocky Mountains). In addition to Peterson's trio recording in 1964 for Limelight, the suite has been arranged for big band by both Phil NIMMONS and Ron COLLIER and for orchestra by Rick Wilkins. Peterson also composed The African Suite (1979), A Royal Wedding Suite (1981), Trail of Dreams: A Canadian Suite (2000) and the score to the Canadian feature film The Silent Partner (1977).
In the field of education, Peterson operated the Advanced School of Contemporary Music in Toronto from 1960 to 1962 with Nimmons, Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen; several Canadian pianists studied with him at this time, including Brian Browne, Wray Downes and Bill King. He was also present at the inception of the Banff (Centre for the Arts) Jazz Workshop in 1974 and taught occasionally as an adjunct professor of music at York University in the late 1980s.
Peterson's influence on his fellow musicians more generally is difficult to estimate. While he was an early inspiration to many pianists, his extraordinary level of skill made his playing exceedingly difficult to emulate directly. Moreover, his approach to jazz piano was shaped by a transitional period in the music's history, the 1940s, rather than by any specific style. Paradoxically, his greatest strength, his technique, brought him his greatest criticism, in brief that his performances - for all of their facility - lacked a certain emotional warmth.
Peterson was one of Canada's most honoured musicians. He was appointed an Officer in the ORDER OF CANADA in 1972 (elevated to Companion in 1984) and made an Officer in the Order of Arts and Letters in France in 1989. He also received honorary doctorates from several Canadian and US universities and held the chancellorship at York University from 1991 to 1994. The FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL DE JAZZ DE MONTRÉAL established an annual Prix Oscar-Peterson in 1990 for Canadian musicians of note, and Concordia University named a concert hall in his honour in 1998.
Peterson was inducted into to the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1978 and received a "lifetime achievement" award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, parent body to the (US) Grammy Awards, in 1997. Several of his recordings won individual Grammies for solo or group performance: The Trio in 1975, The Giants in 1978, Oscar Peterson Jam at Montreux '77 in 1979, Jousts in 1980 and Live at the Blue Note in 1991. He also received a Juno in 1987 for the album If You Could See Me Now. In 1993, Peterson was awarded the Glenn GOULD Prize, whose namesake should be considered his only rival among Canadian pianists of international renown.

I got this adorable dangle thing from my sister for Christmas (she didn't make it). I wonder what the top "plate" is that the old bottles dangle from ? It's kind of thick glass with a large center hole and 12 small holes around it. Can anyone tell from this picture? It looks like a fun project to copy.

It's a bobeche. It is used under the "candlestick" in a crystal chandelier. The little holes are for the crystals that hang from it. They are fairly easy to find and come in all sizes and are nearly always glass or crystal. |
It also looks like the base of an old glass lamp. I have many old glass lamp bases and they can come apart, so this may be the base. I have one that also has the holes around edge. It is just decoration for the lamp base. |

At a time when as many as 2.6 billion people worldwide are living on less than $2 a day, evidence demonstrates that sustainable economic growth is critical to reducing poverty. In fact, countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America have shown repeatedly that growing the economy is the best way to help people permanently lift themselves out of poverty.
This is because a dynamic, growing economy will create jobs and higher incomes. Economic growth, in turn, generates the financial resources governments of developing countries need to invest in the well-being of their citizens. When governments create the right economic conditions, they can spur investment and innovation, and stimulate trade. They can produce a fair, open and equitable marketplace in which the enterprises that drive the economy can grow and succeed and in which the people behind them can prosper.
The Government of Canada understands the value of stimulating sustainable economic growth to fight global poverty. In keeping with the Canadian government's commitment to deliver international assistance that is more efficient, focused, and accountable, CIDA has developed a sustainable economic growth strategy that will help developing countries:
For developing countries, the barriers that prevent sustainable economic growth are difficult to overcome.
These barriers can include:
With accountable governments, open and effective markets, quality infrastructure, capable human capital, equal opportunities for women and men, and natural resources that are managed sustainably and responsibly, economies that flounder can turn into economies that flourish.
Through the Sustainable Economic Growth Strategy, CIDA will support development efforts to ensure the essential elements for growth are in place and that they function together to reduce poverty.
CIDA will implement the strategy while recognizing that all countries face different challenges, with their own unique barriers to growing their economies. CIDA will work with development partners, including those in developing countries, other donors, and Canada's civil society and private sector to understand better what prevents economic progress in each situation and to identify and apply the measures that will best generate sustainable economic growth.
Through the Sustainable Economic Growth Strategy, CIDA will focus its main targeted investments to support sustainable economic growth that:
The strategy also integrates environmental sustainability, equality between women and men, and governance as essential considerations to achieve sustainable economic growth.
Within the strategy, CIDA will focus on three paths:
Growth happens best where governments encourage investment, innovation, and transparency, and where fair regulations let entrepreneurs grow their businesses without the burden of excessive red tape.
In too many developing countries, obstacles like bad fiscal management, corruption, and political instability overshadow opportunities of investment, innovation, and competition.
For economies to flourish, countries must ensure sound financial and economic management that encourages private investment and reduces corruption.
Developing countries must also build up the institutions, laws, and regulations that govern their economies in order for growth and success to happen. This includes government policies that open markets to trade and attract infrastructure investment to deepen integration into local, regional, and global economies. It also includes promoting policies that improve natural resource management and environmental sustainability, including corporate social responsibility.
To help build economic foundations, CIDA will:
These measures will translate into an economy that is an attractive place to invest, is more resilient to instability and external shocks—such as financial crises, natural disasters, or climate change realities—and that can identify effective options to reduce poverty.
The private sector is the driving force behind sustainable economic growth, yet in the developing world, many people—especially women—face constraints in establishing and growing their businesses and fully contributing to the economy.
Given that developing countries with diverse and healthy private sectors typically have higher levels of growth and poverty reduction, it is crucial that, to stimulate economic growth, businesses in the developing world be more sustainable, more productive, and more competitive.
Businesses, especially those that are micro, small and medium-sized, need support to meet international standards, to integrate into local and global value chains, and to move from the informal to the formal sector. They also need greater access to innovations and new and emerging technologies that increase productivity and sustainability.
Entrepreneurs also require the financial means to launch their business or grow it once it gets off the ground. They therefore need support to access credit, and insurance and financial services, including microfinance products, and to bridge the gap between microfinance and mainstream financial services.
To help grow businesses, CIDA will:
Through increased access to global and local value chains, technology, and financial services, more enterprises, especially those led by women, will be viable and productive.
At its core, sustainable economic growth revolves around people. People create and seize economic opportunities for themselves. People fill jobs, own businesses, and invest in local economies.
Developing countries need to create opportunities that allow the poor, particularly women and youth, to reach their potential by developing new skills, expanding knowledge, and breaking down the barriers that limit opportunity.
Because many workers lack the skills required to find and keep a good job or to take on the risks of running their own business, they need demand-driven skills training programs to acquire the skills they need to meet changing labour market opportunities. They also need support to strengthen their essential employability skills, such as the ability to read and write, count and compute.
To help invest in people, CIDA will:
As CIDA works with countries to help them better invest in their people, more working-age adults will gain marketable employment skills, women and youth will be better equipped to take advantage of economic opportunities, and workers will have acquired new knowledge and skills that increase their productivity and revenue-generating potential.
For developing countries to reduce significantly the number of people living in poverty, they must stimulate long-term, sustainable economic growth.
Canada's own experience of sustainable economic growth underscores the importance of open trade and free markets governed by prudent policy and sound regulation. This means avoiding the extremes of protectionism on the one hand or ungoverned markets on the other.
CIDA's Sustainable Economic Growth Strategy, with its emphasis on building economic foundations, growing businesses, and investing in people, aims for concrete results that will make a significant and sustainable difference in reducing global poverty.
CIDA will review its progress against the Sustainable Economic Growth Strategy and report this progress and any lessons learned on a regular basis. All activities associated with the development and implementation of this strategy comply with the Official Development Assistance Accountability Act.

Customer Service
Survive and Thrive

It may also be time for both you and your spa's team members to get additional training in customer service and client management. When it comes to customer service, it is not enough just to hire nice people with licenses. It is about knowing the needs, wants and desires of the client, responding to these correctly, and fixing problems when and if they come up—and they inevitably will. Customer service knowledge is not basic, it is not internal and it does not usually come naturally. If you are neglecting this aspect of your business, you may end up being surprised by your lack of business.
Use educational sales to retain your clients by building your business with e-newsletters on skin care technology and your services, all while building your clients' confidence in your professionalism. This does not mean you are pushy—sensitivity to client needs for quiet are important too—but being well-spoken about your products and services is essential to success in this environment.
Differentiate more
Just as it is important to train, educate, support and manage, it is also important to point out to your clients how you differ from the competition. You need to help clients understand why they should choose your business over the place down the road.
Focus on the positives, whether it is the fact that you have a more Zen-like approach to professional services or offer a particular service that sets you apart. Many people do not like negative marketing, so a definite positive approach is necessary to encourage potential clients to check out your spa. Your specific uniqueness—while important to the ongoing success of your business—does not matter in this regard. What does matter is that you are different, and that gives you a platform from which to speak.
Additionally, don't bury your lead. Simply put, this means finding the one thing you are the best at and extending it out into your circle of influence. It means dealing from your strongest position. So if you are the best at facials, focus on facials. If your eye treatment works wonders, revel in it.

I've never had problems before when I used to lift, but recently I've been noticing that my left rotator cuff has been feeling pretty tender.
I've been doing this exercise daily (a few sets of 8 slow reps with a 5-lb. dumbbell), especially before I do my benching/pressing:
The pain/tenderness I feel happens when I am opening my car door, opening a window, lifting a chair away from me, etc. All external motions, which is why I chose to do the external rotation exercise I linked above.
I haven't been noticing it going away though, if anything it has been getting progressively more tender. I'm not really sure what to do. It never feels bad while I'm working out, just while I'm at home doing normal stuff.
Any input?

Backsplash options?
posted by: Kelly.Gee on 04.24.2013 at 07:34 pm in Kitchens Forum Okay...I have to say I am impressed by the amount of activity on this forum so here goes nothing...
We just completed a 4 month gut job/renovation of our kitchen but we have stalled at the backsplash...we are concerned about water damage and grease around the range. But we love the simplicity that no backsplash gives. I had bought subway tile and planned on going only as high as the cabinets. But then we balked... There's a link to my blog that gives more pics Honestly I'd love for you to throw out any and all ideas/suggestions...pics...have at it. Thanks! Here is a link that might be useful: I'll Tell You Later, Betty NOTES: <none>

My little town everyone knew everyone and so far I have met no one.Everything is so different here.We had to sell our house of course and we are in an apartment,I thought I would get to know people here in the complex but people just kind of say hi and don't seem to want to talk much.So far all I do is roam around the thrift stores and in and out of the differnet area stores,thank goodness I don't have to get on the freeway,I have never driven a freeway in my life.And to top it off I was having some female problems before I left home so when I got here went to the doctor and found out I am in pre menopause,I'm 44.I am afraid to go home for a visit because I don't think I would come back and my husband loves his job.He works in Ontario.Anyone have any advice for me I really need it.Thanks for listening I really neede some one to talk to. |

Hi tami, My dad and sister live in Victorville. My dad is in his 60's and my sister is 30 with four kids. I also have a sister who lives in Rancho Cucamonga (near Ontario) with her family. Ironically I live in Ohio (lol) and don't care for Cali either. A few suggestions: 1. Join a church and get involved 4. When you miss Ohio just think about driving in slushy brown snow in below freezing weather... Let me know how things go...here are some links: http://ci.victorville.ca.us/index.html http://www.johnleemd.com/books.html |
Hi Tami, I live here in Riverside, about an hours drive from Victorville. I have a sister that lives in Apple Valley. I wish you could meet her. You would really like her. She lives off of Bear Valley road by KMart and McDonalds. I also work in Ontario for the school district. Have been there almost 20 years. Where does your husband work? I really don't envy him on the drive to and from the desert. I remember when Victorville was hardly nothing. Now it is a big city. My grandparents lived up there. My grandmother was just moved to Oregon just this last year. My aunt thought that that was the best thing for her. Grandma is going to be 91 this year. I know I was young when I moved to California. I lived in Salt Lake City, Utah. I was only 10 then and hated moving here. But now, you couldn't even get me to go back to Utah to live. I go visit my mom and my one brother that still live there and that is enough. But I do know how it is being away from your family. I am very close to mine. And I know how it is being away from them. Even though they live all over California now. I am 56 now and am really enjoying life. I live on a half acre that I just bought about 2 1/2 years ago. And I love it. But anytime you want to talk to someone I am here. We don't want you being lonely. Have you ever thought about getting into gardening? I did, and I love it. Plants are so rewarding. But anyway, write if you want and just hang in there. Things are going to get better. There are people out there that you will meet. So I will end this now. Take care and hope you get to doing better. Norma (Riverside, Ca.) |
Tami - how are things going? I have been reading the posts, and hoping that you have made some connections. Good luck! Go outside and enjoy the sun! Chilihot |

Welcome to Anglophone South School District
Superintendent's Welcome
Welcome to the new school year 2012-13! As we approach September students and families are starting to think about the start up of school. This year there are changes in the structure and organization of our School District. Districts 6 (Sussex to Rothesay), District 8 (Saint John, St. Martin's Westfield) and District 10 (St.George, St. Stephen and the Fundy Isles) have now been amalgamated as of July 1, 2012 to be the Anglophone South School District. Our District has close to 25,000 K-12 students in 74 schools and four high school alternate education centres.
The Office of the Superintendent is located in Saint John, on Woodward Avenue and attached to Millidgeville North School and we have three Education Centres with staff who will attend to local issues and support Principals and teachers in each of the three areas. In Saint John, the Education Centre is located within the Office of the Superintendent and is led by Senior Education Officer Debbie Thomas. The Education Centre in the St. Stephen area is in the location of the former School District 10 Office and attached to St. Stephen Middle School; the Senior Education Officer is Jenny MacDougall. The third Education Centre will be located within Hampton Elementary School but for now staff are located in the former School District 6 Office on 70B Hampton Road and Paul Smith is the Senior Education Officer for schools in that area.
Our school boundaries remain the same and our bus routes have not seen any major changes for fall 2012. We are getting calls about school supplies and you may want to check your schools' website or pick up some basic supplies. You may also check with your school when school administrative assistants are back at work – after August 20th in most schools.
It has been a busy summer with the hiring of teachers, school principals/vice principals, and non-teaching support staff. Our facilities staff has worked hard to clean and complete repairs in schools. In addition, some schools have had major improvement projects.
We are in the process of building a new website for Anglophone South School District and from this site we will have links to the three Education Centres and information about our District. The former School District 6, 8, and 10 websites can still be accessed. The new website can be accessed through the following address:
. The website is a work in progress and we will be migrating information from the three websites over the coming weeks. Links to the previous sites can be found on the front page of the new site while we work through this process.
Information is included below on the opening of schools. Educators return to school officially on August 27 and Principals/Vice Principals attend District meetings the week before. For most students, school begins on Wednesday, September 5th, 2012, which is a day later than usual. On Tuesday, September 4th, 2012, staff will be working with their Principals and Vice Principals on their School Improvement Plans and there is no school for students. Exceptions to the September 5th return to classes are outlined in the information below.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome back all students, staff and families for the new school year 2012-2013! May it be a safe and happy year for all.
