He did it :-)
Paddy just married the heartthrob of his youth, Joelle Verreet. On April 13 they celebrated their wedding on the Irish Westcoast. Already as a teenager Paddy had a "massive" crush on the present-day journalist, as he says. But for a long time nothing more came out of it. Back then he wrote the song "Looking for Love" out of lovesickness, since his sweetheart had no interest in him. Two decades later, things are completely different now.
"In many respects we click on the same frequency", says Paddy. The born Belgian is doing her doctorate on philosophy of religion and spent a lot of time in european monasteries during her academic years. Mutual experiences, like voluntary services with the Missionaries of Charity, are shared by the couple. "But we're both bullheads and love our personal freedom", he adds laughing. "I can completely be myself next to her, she is a gift from heaven for me."
With Paddy's new song "The Waltz", written for his female squeeze, 1993's "Looking for Love" receives its fulfilling answer. The song will be on his upcoming solo CD, planned for release by the end of the year. But also in private respect, Paddy is up to quite something: "We are very happy and want to raise a family."
Surrounded by family and friends, the wedding ceremony was held in three languages at the 800 years old Ballintubber Abbey and was accompanied by monks from Paddy's monastery days.
Paddy's Homepage team congratulates the bridal couple and wishes them the very best!
"Art Peace"-Event in der Bunkerkirche Düsseldorf
Vergangenen September präsentierte Paddy der öffentlichkeit erstmals seine Leidenschaft für die Malerei und rief damit zugleich eine neuartige Reihe von Events unter dem Titel "Art Peace" ins Leben. Gebunden sind die Veranstaltungen an besondere Orte, die in symbolischer Weise das Thema Frieden repräsentieren.Für das jetzt bevorstehende Event hat Paddy mit der Bunkerkirche in Düsseldorf ein beeindruckendes Mahnmal des Zweiten Weltkriegs ausgewählt. Termin ist der 17. und 18. Mai, jeweils um 20 Uhr (Einlass 19 Uhr).
"Art Peace" will eine "Kunst des Friedens" kultivieren und gleichzeitig friedensrelevante Projekte unterstützen. Das kommende Event, bei dem Malerei und Musik gleichermaÃen eine Rolle spielen, ist deshalb auch als reine Benefiz-Veranstaltung angelegt. Erlöse kommen teils der Bunkerkirche, teils dem Caritas-Hilfsprojekt "Sol Mansi" im afrikanischen Guinea-Bissau zugute.
"Art Peace", sagt Paddy, "mag nur einen Tropfen auf dem heiÃen Stein ausmachen, doch je mehr Tropfen fallen, desto schneller wird der Stein abkühlen."
Teilnahmekarten für die Veranstaltung sind ab nächster Woche Mittwoch, dem 17. April, ausschlieÃlich online erhältlich. Weitere Infos finden sich unter www.paddykellyart.eu
Einen Vorab-Eindruck eines "Art Peace"-Events erlaubt die rund 10-minütige Dokumentation der letztjährigen Veranstaltungen in Fulda.

New solo concerts announced
[Photo: Artwork for Paddy's concert tour.]
In March 2013 Paddy will be giving a series of solo concerts as a part of his Eurosarium Tour, visiting Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia. The reportoir will be a mixture of songs from his first solo CD, some from the Kelly Family days, certain covers and new compositions he is preparing for the upcoming album. With no band attached, the acoustic performances will have a very personal and intimate character and are limited to smaller audiences. "I really look forward to the challenge and fun of these solo concerts", Paddy says..
Paddy, Patricia and Joey supporting RTL-Charity-Event
[Photo: Paddy Kelly painting for the RTL-Spendenmarathon (photo taken by Patricia Kelly).]
Once a year numerous celebrities get together for a unique 2-days tv-event in order to collect money for children in need. Early in the morning, Paddy visited Wolfram Kons live at the studio and created a large-sized painting entitled "The Holy Spirit of Love". It centers around a cheerful dove spreading her wings and revealing a big red heart, while from all sides people reach out with their hands. Bids for the painting will be accepted via firstname.lastname@example.com until Sunday, November 25, 8pm. The proceeds will got to the projects of the RTL-Spendenmarathon.
Alongside Paddy, his sister Patricia was also there and answered donation calls by the audience on the phone. Their brother Joey proved himself once again as an extreme athlet: For 24 hours he walked up a descending escalator and thus set a record for the Guinness Book.
"Stille Nacht"-Tour coming closer
[Photo: Joey, Kathy, Patricia, Paul, Paddy.]
Paddy is currently busy with preparations and promotion activities for the "Stille Nacht"-Tour, an extraordinary project for which he and his siblings Joey, Patricia, Kathy and Paul got together.
Accompanied by a live band, dancers, a children's choir and a narrator, the Kelly siblings stage the original Christmas story with "Stille Nacht" in an entertaining, reflective and festive way. One of the artists joining them on stage will be Russian star Natalya, a sand paintress, who creates beautiful stories by skillfully pouring sand onto canvas. With the music playing, her images will be projected live on a big screen.
Also, what started out as spontaneous performances of the new generation of Kelly kids during the tour in 2011 has become a part of the fixed program this year. The evening will include many international Christmas songs as well as some of the big Kelly hits.

Together with his siblings Patricia and Joey, Paddy visited the talkshow of Markus Lanz. German network ZDF will air the 75-minute show an November 13th, 11.30 pm.Art Peace: Video-Documentary on Paddy's exhibition in Fulda
For the first time ever, Paddy exhibited his paintings on September 28th and 29th in Fulda. The events at the Radom and the Kinderakademie were accompanied by a film crew, resulting in a little documentary on the Art Peace Events of about 10 minutes. The video was made public today and is ready for everyone to be seen. A lovely memory for those who attended the exhibition and a nice consolation for those who did not have the chance. Either way: Enjoy!Paddy's works of art can be purchased under www.paddykellyart.eu
Paddy rocks the church in France and sings in honor of Pope John Paul II in Poland
[Photo: Paddy at the Cathedral Sainte-Croix d'Orleans.]
Last weekend Paddy was busy bringing his music to France and Poland. On Saturday he held a concert in the Cathedral Sainte-Croix d'Orleans. The numerous young people in the crowd could not hold back their enthusiasm during this first pop/rock concert ever held in the Cathedral of the city of St. Joan of Arc. Paddy was joined by the French rapper/singer and frontman of the band "Les Guetteurs" with whom he sang "God is Love". He also performed a solo version of "Une famille c'est use chanson", an old Kelly Family track dating back to the 80's.
The next day, the national Polish tv held the "Song of songs" event in honor of Pope John Paul II on the street of Warsaw. At this occasion, Paddy sang the classic "One more song" as well as "Agape", a new track for which the Polish tv orchestra delivered the musical arrangments. The performance was recorded for you to enjoy. Watch and listen below.
Art Peace events coming closer
[Photo: Paddy in front of a giant walk-in heart at the Children's Academy in Fulda.]
Preparations for the first exhibition of Paddy's paintings on the 28th and 29th of September in Fulda are being made. Since the 1990's he has been experimenting with colours and shapes and soon developed his own style. The public presentation of his work will be a chance for everyone attending to get to know a different artistic side of the musician.
But the "Art Peace" events are not just usual exhibitions. Known for his engagement for peace in the past, Paddy wishes to stress the need for a culture of peace through his paintings. "I find it of great importance to counterweight the numerous wars and violent tendencies in the world with a culture peace. According to a study, there were but 21 days in the last century without war on earth. The Art Peace events may only be a drop of water on a hot stone, but the more drops fall on it, the quicker the stone will cool down", Paddy explains his intention.
The locations for the events were thoughtfully chosen. The Radom on the Wasserkuppe served as a military institution during the Cold War but is now a cultural memorial. It reminds of the brave and peaceful fight that the people of the former GDR fought in order to make their dream of freedom come true. Hence it is a place that symbolizes a troubled past that got transformed into a brighter present.
However, with children being our future, chosing the Children's Academy Fulda for the second day of the exhibition, means to focus on a better tomorrow. Both perspectives combined provide with an idea of how peace is possible and should always be actively strived after.
[Photo: Paddy at the Radom Wasserkuppe in Fulda.]
Paddy back in Studio
After performing in France and Austria, Paddy goes back into studio to continue working on his upcoming album. Together with Ralf Gustke on the drums and Robbee Mariano on the bass both known for their collaboration with Söhne Mannheims and Xavier Naidoo as well as Dondieu Divin on piano and keyboards, he is currently recording a number of brand new and some older compositions.
The latter include a title called "Where do we go from here" which was already composed in 1997 but yet has not been released. Among the newer songs will be "Parousia" which reflects on the end of time, and "Agape", the title song of the identically named tour from June this year.
"Making an album is like a pregnancy in which the baby develops until the day comes when everything is fully grown and it's ready to come out", says Paddy. "A lot of these songs were written during the time in the monastery. That's where the spirit of this new music was conceived. It's very exciting to hear them take shape. It's a bit like watching an unborn baby thorugh the ultrasound, were you don't exactly know what it will look like until it's born." Stay tuned for more.
The musician shows an other artistic side
Public presentation of his works at selected locations on September 28th and 29thAlready in the 1990's, the musician with Irish roots discovers his passion for another artistic form of expression: Painting. He begins to experiment with colours and shapes and develops his own unique style. The young painter's work contains seriousness paired with refreshing innocence and in part childish, playful perspectives. In his pictures he processes emotions, questions, experiecnes and desires very intimate messages. This distinctly personal approach, the source of his work, allows an insight into the person Paddy Kelly and his inner self. He does not consider his works as decorative objects but as a chance to express his feelings and convictions.
Painting is amongst others a way for him to find his personal inner peace. But Paddy does not limit that to his own peace. With his philosophy of "Art Peace" he wants to make a contribution to the peace of others as well. As an ambassador of Caritas International he supports projects that bring about peace. He donates parts of the proceeds of the sold pictures and also of the ticket revenues of the "Art Peace"-events to said projects.
On friday, September 28th, an event entitled "Art Peace" will take place at the Radom on the Wasserkuppe/Hessen. In collaboration with gallery Bilder Fuchs from Fulda, Paddy will present his works for the first time publically and also accompany the event musically. The location of the premiere was very carefully chosen by him.
After World War II the Radom was under military use during Cold War between East and West. Today it is a cultural memorial and monument of the Cold War due to the urge for freedom and the faith of the people of the former GDR, who achieved the realization of a supposed utopian goal their freedom by means of their commitment, their stamina and energy alone.
Paddy wants to address the topic of peace in particular, since it had been the faith and prayers for peace in Leipzig's St. Nicholas Church, which cleared the path for a peaceful German reunification.
On Saturday, Semptember 29th, the artist will show his work at the Children's Academy Fulda.Again Paddy, supported by further musicians, will also perform some of his songs at that occasion. Additionally, he will explain his works and discusss them with the audience.
Unlike the evening at the Radom, which focuses on the past, the main thought of the second evening aims at the future, a peaceful future, which depending on how they get raised and educated is in the hands of the children. In advance of the event, the artist will start a transnational painting project with children from the Academy and children from Haiti.
In order to not let his pictures remain unreachable, he decided to produce some of them as high-class art prints, limited to 150 items each. Every sheet will be numbered and manually signed by the artist. The prints can be bought on both evenings.
Afterwards they will exclusively be available via the official online-shop under www.paddykellyart.eu.
Paddy performs at the Anuncio Love Revolution Festival in Paris
Paddy's performance at the popular Christian festival on August 25 at the Sacre Coeur Basilika on Montmartre consisted of a concert with his band and joint ventures with other international artists. The collaborations were dedicated to promulgating the importance of love, faith, freedom, justice and truth in a world heavily influenced by individualism, materialism and consumerism.
This common aim found its particular expression in a medley of cover songs from Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, The Beatles and Bob Marley. Paddy kicked it off with a version of
"The times they are a-changin'" and ended with a sympathetic "All you need is
love" which was the core of the festival's message.
During Paddy's concert, young Parisian rapper/singer Fratoun joined him on stage for a powerful version of
"God is love". The other artists were equally invited to participate in the closing song
"Thanking Blessed Mary".
Says Paddy, "I find that artists have an important role to play in reminding people of the essential human values in life. Especially when politics and economy are not in service of a healthy humanism and even enslaving humanity in many
The long awaited new album is in the works
A reason for pleasant anticipation: For his upcoming album, Paddy just began the recording process in studio this week. He plans to record a total of 20 to 25 tracks throughout the next months of which a final selection will then be taken for the album. The styles vary from fast rock over pop and folk elements to acoustic ballads. So far 9 songs have reached their first recording phase. Stay tuned for more to come.
Stille Nacht Tour Huge run on tickets after start of presale on August 6th
The Kelly siblings did not expext such an enormous rush for tickets: Only shortly after the presale had started on monday, August 6th, the server capacities were fully stretched and further ticket systems had to be activated in order to match the huge
demand. "We are really very happy that our tour is so popular and that the audience secured seats so early
on", says Paddy Kelly, initiator and head of "Stille Nacht".
In December 2011 the musical christmas story went on tour for the first time, and due to the huge success, Paddy and his siblings Joey, Kathy, Patricia (not attending a few evenings) and Paul decided to stage it again this year with new ideas and some added surprises. Accompanied by dancers, actors, a live band and a narrator, they tell the
"original" christmas story in an entertaining way. Says Paddy, "With our project we hope to make people think about values, traditions and what is really important in
life." Of course, a lot of music is to be heard as well and hence the production provides for a festive and contemplative evening for the whole family.

Stille Nacht 2012
Together with some of his siblings, Paddy Kelly goes in tour again with the musical christmas story Presale starts August 6th
Various sold-out houses after 5 days already that is how the 5 Kelly
siblings' "Stille Nacht"-Tour startet off last year. After the huge success in 2011, Paddy, Patricia (not part of every concert), Kathy, Paul and Joey decided to stage the musical christmas story together with organizer Manfred Hertlein in december 2012 again. And they tell this story in their own special way: Accompanied by dancers, actors, a narrator and of course a lot of music, the production provides with over 2 hours an atmospheric and contemplative evening for the whole family.
The show is scheduled for 11 cities this time and due to the enormous demand, the siblings play in less places than last year, but chose bigger halls
instead. "We have worked a lot on this project in the last few months and added a few new ideas and surprises compared to last year. When deciding for the bigger venues it was important for us to not lose an intimate
atmosphere", says Paddy, who newly orchestrates the stage production together with theatre director Joachim Lang. Thus the siblings partially use with theatre seating.
With "Stille Nacht", the siblings want to establish an opposite pole to the countless commercial christmas shows and tell the
"Soriginal" christmas story instead. Says Paddy, "With our project we hope to make people think about values, traditions and what is really important in
life." How successful they were in achieving this last year was proven by positive reactions coming from media and audience alike.
The siblings are accompanied by an international live band, and also the offspring, the next Kelly generation, will enter the stage on various occasions. And of course: Next to many well-known christmas songs from all over the world, a couple of Kelly-Hits will be heard as well, including
"An Angel", "Fell In Love With An Alien", "Why Why Why" or "One More Song".

Paddy kicked off the series of 10 AGAPE evenings with a sold out premier in Düsseldorf.
The spiritual concert with a mixture of old songs such as One more song, Fell in love with an alien, Rain of roses and others, and new spiritual songs which are to go on his upcoming album, was greatly appreciated. His sister Patricia joined in as special guest for a common performance of Calling Heaven. The prayer vigil that followed had a beautiful atmosphere of grace and Paddy was visibly happy throughout the evening, whether in euphoric joy or sunk in contemplation when singing with eyes closed.
See below some new pictures.
Few tickets are left for the remaining AGAPE evenings (see events)

Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Event!
At tarte we love events! Yes, I had to yell it but we do. It's such a wonderful opportunity to showcase our artistry and be a part of new, unique projects. That being said when Celebrity Makeup Artist Geoffrey Rodriguez asked tarte to be the makeup sponsor for Teen Vogue's 8th Annual Young Hollywood event it took us less than 2 seconds to hop on board. Held at the Paramount Studios in Hollywood this past weekend, the "who's who" of Young Hollywood came out to have a great time and enjoy the trendiest of runway shows.
Geoffrey teamed up with tarte's in-house artist Tracy Davis to create a look that was fresh, fun and effortless. Of course, I want to share with you all the goodies in their tarte bag of tricks! Here's what they used:
Complexion: ReCreate™ silicone-free primer used lightly– just to perfect skin
Cheeks: TEN natural cheek stain for a pop of color on apples of the cheeks. Topped with a light touch of smooth operator™ illuminating serum to achieve a healthy glow
Eyes: Use an assortment of shades from the Femme Naturale natural eye palette. Apply emphasEYES aqua-gel eyeliner in black to the top lashline—exaggerated then smudged in the center to create a light smokey line. Use one coat of lights, camera, lashes! natural 4-in-1 mascara for dramatic lashes.
Lips: Apply LipSurgence™ natural matte lip tint in lively & then vitamin infused lipgloss in om just in the pout
Check out event images above from both backstage and the step-and-repeat. I hope you love it just as much as the glossy pages of their mag

Inky Glam
The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards turned out some killer performances and avant garde get-ups (envision star holding Lady Gaga), but my favorite looks came from "young Hollywood" –whose inky frocks were ultra-glam. Personally, I think the Grammy's are one of the few Red Carpet events where thigh-skimming mini's are acceptable. Two of my faves were Lea Michele's navy Romona Keveza feathery number & Miley Cyrus' edgy Herve Leger. Although both were totally different in feel, they were equally flawless. Who do I think really stole the show? I think hands-down the number one look of the night came from none other than the 4-time winning Taylor Swift. Her custom Kaufman Franco was AMAAZIINNG. The closest thing I will ever come to such sophisticated blue shimmer is my Chanel blue satin polish–oh well , kudos to her!

Frame by Marcus Abrahamsson & Kristoffer Fagerstrom
Konstfacks University College of Arts Crafts and Design grads Marcus Abrahamsson and Kristoffer Fagerstrom took on the design of the Konstfacks outdoor café as their degree project. A site specific element, an outdoor bench called Frame made of 4x4's, got our attention for its simplicity and utility...
Konstfack Outdoor Café
From Marcus Abrahamsson:
With the aim of creating an interdisciplinary space, we have created a framework that lets the space react to influences and allows it to change over time. In the future when the wood content of this framework is worn out it is up to the current students to decide the content. By this we hope that the space will develop into a collage of materials. We are leaving something behind us that not only represents us and Konstfack at present but can also represent Konstfack in the future...

'The Twilight Saga' may be over, but the love Kristen shared with Rob on set is something that she'll never forget, according to a brand-new interview!
Fans may argue over which moment from The Twilight Saga is their favorite, but Kristen Stewart is a big fan of the love story she told with Robert Pattinson.
"I'm happy that the love story is told. I feel liberated and I am free, but I do miss it at the same time," Kristen tells Bild regarding her feelings about the end of The Twilight Saga.
We have to agree. Kristen and Rob's chemistry was simply magnetic throughout the entire series.
Kristen and Rob are quietly settling into their lives post-Twilight as they were spotted food shopping in London!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? What will you miss the most from Twilight?

I would think that scenario is all wrong. Yes, she was under age when the first Twilight was being filmed but she had a relationship with Michael since she was what fourteen? What that all entailed we don't know or need to know, of course. But it would be surprising if Rob was her first. If so, that would certainly account for Rob's devastation at what happened recently. Even in this the twenty-first century that old double standard still floats around, doesn't it?

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 14
Posted By: Anne O+ INFPDate: Friday, 22 September 2000, at 10:28 p.m.
In Response To: Mozzerella Vs string cheese (Carolynn ( O+ ))
String cheese had been a favorite food for me for quite some time. I was happy to see that mozzerella cheese was a neutral, so I continued eating it.
At the same time I was having problems with a VERY sore tongue with deep cracks forming in it. Nothing I did seemed to help.
After I had been on ER for about 1 1/2 months I saw on the er4yt food list that string cheese was on the avoid list... bummer.. but I quit eating it, and son of a gun!!! my tongue problems cleared right up.
So... there must be something in it that isn't good for us. I don't know what it is or care, but it's on my avoid list now! Anne

Contrary to what you might think, this post really isn't about Sagrada Familia. It's more about the fact that I decided to foolishly purchase a Nanoblocks set attempting to replicate the sight of this massive structure. This was revealed to be an intensely poor decision after about five seconds, for reasons including but not limited to a lack of stability, a poor choice of colors, and decisions about assembly that require a level of manual dexterity that even I don't naturally possess.After several hours of work, the completed project sits on my desk, a reminder that the next time I'm curious about this sort of thing I should just try assembling some LEGO blocks with a set of tweezers.
But the mistakes of the week can be overridden by the glories of the weekend, and this week's WRUP is just past the cut. Check out our weekend plans and let us know what you'll be up to over the next two days in the comments.

At the highest setting for most cribs, the crib mattress is approximately 20-inches from the floor. When the crib mattress is lowered, as the child grows, the space is approximately 14-inches from the floor for most cribs. You may select one to use for the duration of your baby's crib use or you may choose to order both if you wish for the crib skirt to be flush with the floor at each height setting.

TS HAS BEEN INUNDATED by press releases from firms promoting the efforts of staff taking place in that big thingy that's happening over the coming month (we daren't name it for fear of the Brand Police).
So who's doing what?
Well, Chantrey Vellacott DFK's Tejinder Kalsi will be dancing in the opening ceremony tomorrow. The 30-year-old trust accounts specialist from Isleworth said: "I'm taking part in a segment of the ceremony which covers the Industrial Revolution, but I can't say any more than that as I don't want to spoil any surprises!"
Sylvia Kavanagh, who works for Larking Gowen in Norwich, and Mike Carroll, an accountant based at its Dereham office (both pictured), will be heading to the Games shortly.
Sylvia recently attended a training session at the Olympic Village, where she was briefed on her volunteering role: greeting people, crowd management and stewarding at the venue.
Mike is assisting at the Athletes' Village, helping the competitors and team officials with any questions they may have, ensuring they settle in and have a pleasant stay. They have been supplied with a cap and official umbrella – just in case of bad weather.
BKL's HR partner Marjorie Hurwitz Bremner carried the torch yesterday through Brent. She was nominated by her son, Robbie, who highlighted his mother's extensive voluntary work for a wide range of community organisations, as well as her fund-raising achievements, which include completing no fewer than nine marathons.
Loughton-based firm Haslers sponsored an epic Olympic-style event featuring more than 1,500 pupils from across Essex.
The West Essex Olympics, which took place at the Davenant Foundation on June 29, included participants from all 43 schools in the West Essex School Sport Partnership (including six secondary, 35 primary and two special schools).
Its staff were also put through their paces, taking part in a range of healthy activities including yoga, Zumba, rounders, walks, spin classes and healthy living workshops.
And well done, Deloitte, for its professional consulting services supplied to the Olympics.
Okay, TS knows they've been paid for the pleasure, but don't be mean to them. They've still helped.

Order Up: Nu-Sushi and Sushi Simon
Categories: Food News, Restaurant Reviews
John Linn |
Beautiful presentation and fresh fish combine at Sushi Simon in Boynton Beach. |
Nu-Sushi is, in fact, not new. Rather, it's been serving authentic Japanese hot dishes and both nationally and locally sourced sushi for almost 20 years.
The menu is so extensive, it's difficult to decide whether to order yakitori, yaki-soba, or yakinasu. Luckily, prices are very reasonable and the plates are small and sharable in typical izakaya fashion, so you can make selections liberally and share with friends.
At Sushi Simon, the focus shifts from hot dishes to impeccably fresh seafood served in creative ways. My favorite dish might be a thin-sliced usuzukuri of local mutton snapper that, according to our waitress, came fresh off the boat just an hour before. The chefs there draped it in a wasabi-ponzu sauce and scattered scallion and cilantro around the plate. In the center was a mound of spicy tuna that mixed perfectly with the delicate, thin snapper.
Thinking about both of these eateries is making me long for sushi.

Sir Edmund said Peter "sounded very good. He struggled a bit up the Hillary Step (a difficult stretch of the climb named after Sir Edmund). When he told me he wanted to go home, I said I thought it was a very good idea."
The expedition set out to climb Everest a month ago. It faced illness, crowds, and high winds that delayed its climb.
The team had originally planned to ascend in two groups, one following Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's original route along the South Col, and the other climbing the West Ridge in Barry Bishop's footsteps.
During the brief window in May when weather conditions are favorable for climbing, around 80 other climbers wanted to make the ascent.The National Geographic team decided to delay its ascent, as climbing on a crowded mountain can be dangerous. On Monday, the team reached as high as the South Col before turning back because of high winds.
Saturday was the team's last chance to make the climb, as winds were expected to pick up over the weekend and make climbing impossible. It was decided to consolidate the team into one climbing group on the less windy South Col route.
The entire film crew sent to document the climb for the National Geographic Channel was forced to abandon the ascent. Sound recordist Dave Ruddick lost a tooth and returned to base camp with an infected jaw and sinus. Cameraman Michael Graber and assistant Jimmy Surrette are still weak from an earlier climbing attempt and a gastrointestinal infection.
Athans and Kami Sherpa took charge of the filming, with Liesl Clark (head of the National Geographic film unit on the mountain) helping them from Camp III.

The Joan G Lovering Health Center, formerly the Feminist Health Center of Portsmouth, is now located in Greenland.
The late Joan G. Lovering, founder of the Joan G. Lovering, clinic in Greenland.
The center had made a decision that downtown Portsmouth brought little privacy for its clients. In the spring of 1987, Griebsch and the board moved the clinic to what they saw as a quiet, ideal location in Greenland. The hope was for less confrontation between protesters and clients seeking what most would consider a very private medical service.Griebsch noted that by law protestors are entitled to protest in a nonconfrontational way and must keep off the clinic's property."The ability to control our body is essential for opportunity," Griebsch stressed.For every belief, there is an opposing side. New Hampshire Right to Life is the largest, oldest, and most active NH anti-abortion organization. After attempts to try to reach the activist group, no call was returned for this story. According to the NHRL website, they defend all innocent human life without exception or compromise. Former President of NHRL, Darlene Pawlik, states on the website, " a movement working to respect the God-given right to life by recognizing all human beings as persons who are "created in the image of God" from the beginning of their biological development, without exceptions."
Last Saturday, NHRL organized memorial services at the Concord Landfill for unborn babies, rallied at the Statehouse steps and protested past the Concord Feminist Health Center. The Joan G. Lovering Health Center has educated women of all ages, with parental notification required for 17-year-old and younger girls. Griebsch said there are healthy discussions about sexuality and education about contraception. The community-driven clinic has provided a safe environment for women to undergo a quick procedure with clean instruments and knowledgeable people.Abortion using medication is also an option. Medical experts from the clinic monitor the process and allow the client the privacy and comfort of her home. Violence has always surrounded abortion. Though the protests have always been intense, neither the Portsmouth location, nor the Greenland facility were the scene of more serious violence at clinics seen elsewhere in New Hampshire and the nation.In 1984, a gunman dressed in all black killed two receptionists and wounded five others at an abortion clinic in Brookline, Mass. The man charged in the case, John C. Salvi III, was a 22-year-old man who lived in Hampton, N.H. and wanted to be a hairdresser. He was described as strongly opposed to abortion.
Police in Hampton surrounded a hotel room in Hampton Beach, but Salvi had already left for Virginia. He wasn't caught until he fired a rifle and shattered the glass doors at another abortion clinic in Northfolk. Luckily, no one was hurt in that attack. In November 1996 Salvi was later found dead in prison, his death listed as a suicide.In May of 2000, abortion violence was a little closer to home. A second case of arson at the Concord, N.H., clinic caused $20,000 in damages. That case remains unsolved.Despite past strife at New Hampshire abortion clinics, there is support in some quarters. "Public support for our values are alive, well, and strong as ever in New Hampshire," said Jennifer Frizzell, New Hampshire Senior Policy Advisor at Planned Parent of Northern New England. Frizzell stressed that harassment and intimidation of medical providers is still an issue. "We regularly experience in-your-face scare tactics and protest activity in our Manchester location," said Frizzell. There are very limited doctor offices that offer abortion services, simply for the safety. "We have full-time security to protect entrances. Rarely, but sometimes, people are followed home," said Frizzell.
She noted that the organization is committed to advocating the health of women, helping them with breast screening or detecting ovarian cancer, not just abortion. "We need to move beyond labels and how people characterize this issue. Politicians are not the experts of women's personal decisions, yet they continue to interfere with women's rights," said Frizzell. Politically, the abortion landscape has changed, too. In New Hampshire, President Barack Obama and Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan won the women's vote, with both officials supporting abortion.According to the Guttmacher Institute, in 2008, there were 19,900 pregnancies to the 261,372 women of reproductive age (15-44) in New Hampshire; 69 percent of these pregnancies resulted in live births and 16 percent in induced abortions. In 2008, there were 65,400 women in New Hampshire in need of publicly supported contraceptive services and supplies. Of these, 21,700 were in need of publicly supported services because they were sexually active teenagers, and 43,700 because they had incomes below 250 below of the federal poverty level. In 2010-2011, 16 percent of women aged 15-44 in New Hampshire were uninsured, while 6 percent were enrolled in Medicaid.
"Abortion is one of the safest surgical procedures for women in the United States. Fewer than 0.5 percent of women obtaining abortions experience a complication, and the risk of death associated with abortion is about one-tenth that associated with childbirth," according to the Guttmacher Institute.Though still controversial and the subject of daily protests and political fights, Roe v. Wade began as one woman's fight. In June of 1969, McCorvey, who was single, discovered she was pregnant with her third child. Texas State law turned her down when she asked for an abortion, because at that time, there had to be evidence of rape, incest, or a medical reason that the pregnancy would endanger a woman's life. With representation of two University of Texas graduates, Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington, McCorvey filed a lawsuit in a U.S. District Court against the state of Texas. Prompting a national debate, the case went to the Supreme Court that ruled 7-2 in Roe's favor, stating her First; Fourth, Ninth and Fourteenth Amendment rights fell under an individual's "zone of privacy." The court then argued that the zone of privacy was broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.
From either side of each activist, the fight is far from over.

I've been invited to give feedback to all Parsons students, regarding your thesis projects.
Your project idea is playful and environmentally conscious, for sure. It's clever to articulate it as you have ask well: "packaging as furniture and furniture as packaging." You can never downplay the power of strong messaging.
It's great how you've positioned this design concept in the context of NY's packaging AND furniture waste problem. You've not addressed existing waste at all, but you have provided a proactive strategy for keeping new waste out of the picture.
The only other thing I'd suggest is to consider this design beyond a work station alone. How might Funcy be all kinds of furniture made from its packaging? Limiting it to work stations cuts down the overall positive impact.
Have fun with this! J.

George Ellery Hale (June 29, 1868 – February 21, 1938) was an American solar astronomer.
George Ellery Hale was born on June 29, 1868 in Chicago, Illinois to William Ellery Hale and Mary Browne.[1] He is descended from Thomas Hale of Watton-on-Stone, Hertfordshire, England, whose son emigrated to America about 1640.[1] His father acquired a considerable fortune manufacturing and installing passenger elevators during the reconstruction of Chicago, which had been destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.[2] The oldest of three children, George received strong encouragement from his father, who supported the boy's active mind and curiosity, and his mother, who inculcated in him a love of poetry and literature.[3] He spent his youth fascinated by the books and machinery given to him by his parents—one of his most prized possessions was a small microscope. With his father's encouragement, he built a small shop in their house that turned into a laboratory.[4] The microscope led to his interest in optics. At the age of fourteen, George built his first telescope. His father later replaced it with a second-hand Clark refractor that they mounted on the roof of their Kenwood house.[4] Soon he was photographing the night skies, observing a partial eclipse of the sun, and drawing sun-spots.
As an avid reader with a strong interest in the budding field of astrophysics, Hale was drawn to the writings of William Huggins, Norman Lockyer, and Ernest Rutherford.[5] His fascination with science, however, did not preclude interests more typical of a normal boy, such as fishing, boating, swimming, skating, tennis, and bicycling.[5] He was an enthusiastic reader of the stories of Jules Verne—particularly drawn to the tales of adventure set in the mountains of California.[5] Hale spent summers at his grandmother's house in the old New England village of Madison, Connecticut, where he met his future wife, Evelina Conklin.[6] After graduating from Oakland Public School in Chicago, Hale attended the Allen Academy, where he studied chemistry, physics, and astronomy.[7] He supplemented his practical home experience by attended a course in shop-work at the Chicago Manual Training School.[7] During these years, Hale developed a knowledge of the principles of architecture and city planning with the help of his father's friend, well-known architect Daniel Burnham. Upon Burnham's advice and encouragement, Hale decided at the age of seventeen to continue his education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).[7]
Hale was educated at MIT, at the Harvard College Observatory, (1889–90), and at Berlin (1893–94). As an undergraduate at MIT, he is known for inventing the spectrohelioscope, with which he made his discovery of solar vortices. In 1908, he used the Zeeman effect with a modified spectrohelioscope to establish that sunspots were magnetic.[8] Subsequent work demonstrated a strong tendency for east-west alignment of magnetic polarities in sunspots, with mirror symmetry across the solar equator; and that the polarity in each hemisphere switched orientation from one sunspot cycle to the next.[9] This systematic property of sunspot magnetic fields is now commonly referred to as the "Hale–Nicholson law,"[10] or in many cases simply "Hale's law."
In 1890, he was appointed director of the Kenwood Astrophysical Observatory; he was professor of astrophysics at Beloit College (1891–93); associate professor at the University of Chicago until 1897, and full professor (1897–1905). He was coeditor of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 1892–95, and after 1895 editor of the Astrophysical Journal. He also served on the board of trustees for Science Service, now known as Society for Science & the Public, from 1921 to 1923.
In October 1913, Hale received a letter from Albert Einstein, asking whether certain astronomical observations could be done that would test Einstein's hypothesis concerning the effects of gravity on light. Hale replied in November, saying that such observations could be done only during a total eclipse of the sun.[11]
Hale was a driven individual, who worked to found a number of significant astronomical observatories, including Yerkes Observatory, Mount Wilson Observatory, Palomar Observatory, and the Hale Solar Laboratory. At Mount Wilson, he hired and encouraged Harlow Shapley and Edwin Hubble toward some of the most significant discoveries of the time. He was a prolific organizer who helped create a number of astronomical institutions, societies and journals. Hale also played a central role in developing the California Institute of Technology into a leading research university. After retiring as director at Mount Wilson, he built the Hale Solar Laboratory in Pasadena, California, as his office and workshop, pursuing his interest in the sun.[12][13]
Hale suffered from neurological and psychological problems, including insomnia, frequent headaches, and depression. The often-repeated myth of schizophrenia,[14] alleging he claimed to have regular visits from an elf who acted as his advisor, arose from a misunderstanding by one of his biographers. [15] He used to take time off to spend a few months at a sanatorium in Maine. These problems forced him to resign as director of Mount Wilson.[14]

For others, partnering with a man means sorting out identity issues. When Margaret McCurry, FAIA, IIDA, ASID, became the female half of Chicago-based Tigerman-McCurry Architects in 1982, she worked independently to establish her own credibility. Her husband, Stanley Tigerman, FAIA, was older and already well-known. "I didn't want to be Stanley's sous chef," she says. To this day, they maintain separate clients on all but the occasional project. And although McCurry has experienced her share of dismissive treatment over the years, her design and leadership skills are widely recognized. She was the first woman to head the AIA Committee on Design and is currently president of the Harvard Club of Chicago—only the second woman to do so in 150 years. "I've found that if you're competent and can deal with large groups of people and energize them, people find you," she says.
For Scott Brown, who formed a creative partnership with husband Robert Venturi, FAIA, in 1967, the experience has been bittersweet. On the bitter side, in 1991 the Pritzker Prize went to Venturi alone, though Scott Brown says their roles completely intertwine. "The Pritzker people have consistently refused to consider me," she says. "They take a traditional view of architecture—although they call themselves modernists. I've had to face the fact that my role on projects is submerged in the general estimation that architecture is male-run, and that, in our office, all design is by Venturi. That's hard for me."
That said, Scott Brown suspects she would not have done better on her own, simply because her and Venturi's tandem talents help them produce better work, especially on complex campus planning and urban projects. Many women have told Scott Brown that because of the Pritzker incident, they won't practice with their husbands. But she believes it's worth trying. "It is hard, but if you love each other and are on the same wavelength, you can create better ideas together," she says. "People say an idea has to generate in one mind; in actual fact, the fun of working with a creative team is the way ideas zip between people. So you would lose doing that with your best partner. And you can get larger projects that way."
She adds wryly: "One of our clients said, when you have us together, you have double your problem. What he meant was that if he was not convinced by Bob's argument, he found he had to hear mine. That's an advantage, though; I can find a way to explain something when Bob's version doesn't ring true with a client. We can also, between us, approach a project from three or four different viewpoints. This makes the building better, even if it sometimes makes our lives harder."
Of AIA members, men outnumber women by roughly 6-to-1. But women have made serious progress. A recent AIA Business of Architecture survey found that the number of licensed women architects rose from 14 percent in 1999 to 20 percent in 2005. Women comprised 26 percent of all architecture staff, up from 20 percent in 1999. And the number of women principals and partners at firms also increased to 16 percent in 2005, from 4 percent in 1999.
At the helm of a successful nine-person firm in San Francisco, Anne Fougeron, AIA, feels her minority status keenly. She's received a slew of design awards for projects ranging from health care and civic facilities to high-end houses, yet her 21-year-old firm is routinely overlooked by large multifamily housing developers. To improve her visibility, Fougeron partners with other firms to go after big jobs, engages in outreach programs for women in business, and aggressively markets Fougeron Architecture as a woman-owned firm. "Some of our best clients have been female clients like Planned Parenthood," she says. "We seek out groups whose point of view we can understand."
Indeed, for mid-career female practitioners, getting ahead has meant a persistent refusal to be typecast. Early on, Suman Sorg, FAIA, principal of Sorg and Associates in Washington, D.C., resisted a gravitational pull toward interiors and historic preservation in order to build a reputation for modernist buildings. "I never felt there were career-advancement issues, but it was more the service itself that women could perform," she says. Her diverse, 40-person practice revolves around embassies, condos, educational facilities, and civic centers. The public sector is an equalizer, since it encourages minority involvement. But Sorg laments that private-sector office buildings are hard to get. "It's been easier for women to be on the housing side—people think house, woman," she says. "But I find housing to be a much more complicated building type, because office buildings are just the skin and core." She surmises that, in contrast to the smaller developers doing housing, the old-boys' network is alive and well among big-time developers of office buildings.
Julie Eizenberg, AIA, cofounder (with husband Hank Koning, FAIA, FRAIA) of Santa Monica, Calif.-based Koning Eizenberg Architecture, suggests that what some perceive as a glass ceiling might simply be a mismatch in the way women see themselves and the clients who want them. "Women are afraid of saying, 'These are my values. If this is what I am, I want the people who think like I do,'" she says. "I don't think we should be changing to meet other people's preconceptions about what an architect is. We tell them what we do, and it will change because we do it. The same people who think there's a glass ceiling should think they're a unique commodity. They have a different point of view, and to me, that's marketable."
For example, Eizenberg likes doing community-based projects in which she can overturn cultural norms and "deinstitutionalize things that have gotten stodgy. It's not generic architecture but architecture that makes a difference and affects people's sense of self," she says, adding that "there are tons of clients who prefer to work with women. Some are just tired of guys." Spear agrees. "When I set forth into the world, I was under the illusion that men aren't as oppositional as they really are," she says. "In fact, they think very differently. They're not that collegial and are very competitive and jealous." However, she continues, "It's all in what you want. I find nothing glamorous about designing condo buildings. That's why I became a landscape architect." Three years ago she added landscape architecture to her long list of accomplishments because, she says, the next wave will be about being good stewards and designing buildings that relate to the earth.
Young women have only their academic experiences and a few years of practice to go on. But even they have registered gender issues differently. In her seven-year career, Lindy Roy, founding principal of New York City's ROY Co., has encountered sexism on jobsites and in project management meetings. "In some of the battles we've had with developers, I often feel that they wouldn't try that with a guy," she says. "If you raise your voice or are adamant, what comes out is the idea that you should calm down or go for a walk around the block. It's a cheap putdown I've gotten from fairly sophisticated men."
Hansy Better Barraza, a principal of Studio Luz Architects, Boston, teaches at the Rhode Island School of Design, where the faculty is equal parts men and women. By contrast, she says, "When I'm on the review panels at different universities, I tend to be the only woman, so that's where I see the disconnect." It's a subtle message to women that men are in charge and will be the ones to comment on the value of their work.
Others have observed apparent inequities in mainstream firms. Angela Dean, AIA, LEED AP, who established Salt Lake City-based AMD Architecture in 1997, says she's seen female colleagues passed over for principal and others hired at lower salaries than men. "It's a real [trend], and I don't understand it," she says. "It's prevalent even among employers I had respected and trusted. That's why I decided I'll do it my way." Dean currently has three women on staff and says she's thrilled to be thriving in a conservative town. "It wasn't a deliberate decision to have just women," she continues, "but it's a good fit for the sustainability we promote. For the men who have applied here, that hasn't been their driving force, and for the women it has."
On the other hand, Michelle Kaufmann, AIA, design principal of Michelle Kaufmann Designs in Oakland, Calif., has never felt that being female made a difference one way or the other. Still, "I am grateful for the hard work of the women who paved the way," she says.
