Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Dad stands behind teen activist's trek
Says daughter facing racial taunts from passersby
Alyssa Nepinak turned 13 this week, an event she marked by taking on some very adult challenges.
The Grade 7 student is walking from Winnipeg to Ottawa, part of an environmental group that supports the aims of the Idle No More movement. It's a daunting task, made more difficult by racial taunts and slurs she has faced along the way.
"They wouldn't serve us in a restaurant," the young teen said in a telephone interview from Kenora. "A guy said some things at a gas station."
Those things, says her father, Clarence, included a man rolling down his window and shouting at his then-12-year-old daughter.
"He said, 'Get an effing job, you effing Indian'," Nepinak said. "You can't even get a social insurance number when you're 12. Why would he say that to a kid?"
He walked with his daughter from the legislature grounds to Deacon's Corner when the group left Winnipeg March 28. They hope to reach Ottawa on May 26.
As they walked to Deacon's Corner, "some guy in a truck called us f___ing dirty Indians."
Melinda Thomas is one of the adults on the walk. She drives the support vehicle that transports the walkers when they're not on foot.
Thomas says when the group arrived at a restaurant in Richer, they were refused service.
"We went in to order some food and we were ignored. We could hear the two ladies (who worked there) talking. One said, 'Dirty Indians' and the other lady said, 'Are they gone yet?' They wouldn't take our order."
The group walked out. Thomas says the slurs hurt, but the group doesn't get into arguments.
"We just say 'Have a nice day' and keep on walking."
Alyssa called her dad from the restaurant.
"She said, 'Dad, they won't let us eat here,' " he says. "She sounded sad."
Lee Guetre is co-owner of the Richer Inn Motor Hotel. He was at the restaurant when the group arrived and disputes their version.
"It's totally false," he said Tuesday. "They wanted pizzas right away. I make everything from scratch. It takes 35 minutes. They didn't want to wait. I told them to order burgers."
Guetre says he has plenty of First Nations customers.
"I've met natives I didn't like at all, but I've met Polish people and Ukrainians I didn't like at all either."
Despite the difficulties, Nepinak supports his daughter's decision to participate.
"I'm not really political, but I've voiced my opinion to her and stuff," he said. "She's having rights taken away. I want her to understand that."
He says he's told her her grandfather wasn't given the right to vote until 1967, and First Nations people used to be tossed in jail if they left their reserve without their treaty cards.
"She needs to understand what has happened in this country."
Still, when he agreed to let Alyssa walk, he didn't think she'd last.
"I was thinking maybe she'd make it to the Ontario border and give up," he laughed. "Like any 12-year-old kid, she wanted to have her voice heard. But I didn't think she'd stick with it."
The group wants to see lakes and waters protected. Alyssa Nepinak says she used to fish Pine Lake with her dad.
"We can't anymore because the lake is polluted."
Arthur E. Wright, Alyssa's Winnipeg school, is charting her progress on a large map.
They've set up a blog so teachers and fellow students can offer their support and encouragement.
They hope she can educate other students on what she is doing and why.
Clarence Nepinak consulted with the school before he allowed his daughter to take the time off for the walk.
He was driving to Kenora Tuesday morning with an armload of homework for her.
"I was trying to figure out what she'd learn on the walk. Life skills, for sure. She's going to meet a lot of ignorant people, but she's going to meet some good people, too. For her English, I told her to keep a journal. I haven't figured out the math yet."
What he has figured out is he's proud of his daughter for getting involved in activism at an early age. He hopes she learns her voice matters and the name-callers don't represent the average person.
Thomas says she's teaching young walkers to keep their heads held high.
"People can say what they want. They can call us dirty natives. We just keep walking."

About Lindor Reynolds
National Newspaper Award winner Lindor Reynolds began work at the Free Press as a 17-year-old proofreader. It was a rough introduction to the news business.
Many years later, armed with a university education and a portfolio of published work, she was hired as a Free Press columnist. During her 20-plus years on the job she wrote for every section in the paper, with the exception of Business -- though she joked she'd get around to them some day.
Sadly, that day will never come. Lindor died in October 2014 after a 15-month battle with brain cancer.
Lindor received considerable recognition for her writing. Her awards include the Will Rogers Humanitarian Award, the National Society of Newspaper Columnists' general interest award and the North American Travel Journalists Association top prize.
Her work on Internet luring led to an amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada and her coverage of the child welfare system prompted a change to Manitoba Child and Family Services Act to make the safety of children paramount.
She earned three citations of merit for the Michener Award for Meritorious Public Service in Journalism and was awarded a Distinguished Alumni commendation from the University of Winnipeg. Lindor was also named a YMCA/YWCA Woman of Distinction.
Reynolds was 56. She is survived by a husband, mother, a daughter and son-in-law and three stepdaughters.
The Free Press has published an ebook celebrating the best of Lindor's work. It's available in the Winnipeg Free Press Store; all proceeds will be donated through our Miracle on Mountain charity to the Christmas Cheer Board.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Maurice Devereaux is a director to watch in the indie horror scene. I saw his Lady of the Lake some years ago, and I recall liking it; unfortunately, it is not available on DVD, so I haven't had the opportunity to re-watch it. His Slashers made the leap to DVD, and it is a favorite of mine. The premise was terrific and ahead of its time (the film was released in 2001, but Devereaux was working on it in 1998): a group of contestants on Japan's newest hit reality show are pitted against larger-than-life, celebrated serial killers in the hopes of winning a few million dollars. Unfortunately, the acting in Slashers was so bad that I feel I have to classify the movie as a guilty pleasure rather than as a legitimately good film.Happily, the acting in Devereaux's latest, End of the Line, is better than the acting in Slashers. The film also looks better than his previous films: in one of the DVD's special features, Devereaux mentions a review he read complaining about the movie's CG effects; the reviewer missed the fact that the "CG effects" were just people in makeup and costumes.End of the Line drags a bit in places, but is on the whole disturbing and unsettling. It follows a group of passengers on the subway's late train who soon find themselves fighting for their lives against a religous cult. The cult members have received a text message from their leader, informing them that Armageddon is coming, and they must save the souls of as many people as they can by stabbing them to death with their crucifix-shaped daggers. The winding underground tunnels make for a dark, claustrophobic setting, and the cult members, with their big smiles and belief that they are doing right, are genuinely creepy.Somebody needs to give Devereaux a bigger budget. The man has some really good ideas, and it would be great if they weren't relegated to the direct-to-DVD graveyard. In this DVD's special features, Devereaux says that having to serve as the writer/director/editor/etc. harms his films. It does, and so does not being able to afford better actors. In spite of its limitations, End of the Line is still a movie Devereaux can be proud of, and hopefully the one which will convince someone to take a chance on him.

Minnesota rest stop. Courtesy: Panoramio
By the time this blog post is up, the rest stops in Minnesota will probably be open. Thank heavens. Not only will the truckers have someplace to pee, but so will the patriots and the perverts. Those are the three people groups we associate with such conveniences: the stops are places where truckers converge not only to relieve themselves, but also to rest and perhaps socialize. It is where families stop not only to take care of business, but also to learn about the state through which they are traveling. And it is where people with certain needs and desires that they feel they cannot meet at home or in a more traditional setting go to find sex.
As a piece of architecture, rest stops, which many of us will be visiting for many reasons during this summer season, are something between infrastructure, civic representation, and (inadvertent) stage set. They are a necessary part of the interstate highway network that tied this country together starting under the Eisenhower administration, although there does not seem to be a uniform standard for them I could find, in the manner that there is for minimum height of bridges or curves of exit ramps. As spaces, they are generally completely cut off from their surroundings, appearing as bulges in the canal of asphalt, median, signs and other paraphernalia that make up interstate highways. That makes them into strange mixtures of a landscape that is part of the surroundings, and an area shaped by the curves of the on- and off-ramps, the parking areas, and other utilitarian concerns.
Functionally, rest areas go from the grand to the grotty: they can be fully equipped service areas with restaurants and even hotels, a veritable Edge City node without any influence on the neighborhood; they can be fueling areas as well as rest areas, or they can be just places for toilets. The rest area strictly speaking is the latter: a place to rest, with a toilet facility, vending machines, and information such as maps or a way to reach the highway police.
Virginia rest stops. Courtesy: Richmond Times-Dispatch
When I first arrived in this country after growing up in Europe, I marveled not so much at the rest areas, as the type is much more sophisticated in Europe, as at the manner in which many of the structures, especially in New England, tried to discipline their utilitarian functions with brick, white-painted wood trim, gabled roofs and even vestigial turrets. They were a cross between George Washington's home and a church of convenience. The anonymous designers working for the highway departments of Connecticut or New Jersey had tried to make them into calling cards for what they felt was the historic character of the state, spreading Neo-Colonial architecture along with the ribbons of transportation as the lingua franca of the American state.
Few states, notably ones in the West, such as Colorado and California, have experimented with modern architecture for their rest areas. Minnesota, from what I can see in news reports and what I remember from visits, is firmly in the Neo-Colonial camp. What that style has to do with the vernacular or the geography of that great state, I have no idea, but it confirms that rest areas, no matter what use we make of them, or where they are, aim to be part of something we share and believe should be provided to us. This summer, we should remember that such humble structures also make us Americans.

Could today's Iran election be a 1975 turning point?
It's difficult to predict how Iranians will react to this election. The peeling back of even the veneer of political choice and change may be the last straw for Iranians and eventually lead to another uprising, just as the shah's 1975 scrapping of political parties helped spur the 1979 revolution.
Yalda Moayeri/Reuters
Is today's presidential election in Iran a 1975 turning point?
That was the year when the shah of Iran, who seemed at the zenith of his power, decided to take down the facade of democracy that had been hiding the dictatorial nature of his regime. He dissolved the two political parties, popularly nicknamed "Yes" and "Yes, Sir," and replaced them with a single "Yes, Sir" party, called Resurrection. It set him on the road to his own downfall.
With this move, the shah basically gave Iranians three options: Join the party, leave the country, or go to prison. But Iranians recognized that a single party meant the end of any hope that the government would permit democratic reform. Overthrowing the regime became the only logical alternative for a people yearning for independence, freedom, and democracy. This simmering discontent eventually burst out in the 1979 revolution, by which nearly 3,000 years of monarchic despotism were brought to an end.
But the democratic revolution of nearly 35 years ago was hijacked by the ayatollahs, and now, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei may be walking in the path of the hated shah.
As the shah abolished the two-party system, so has Mr. Khamenei abolished any semblance of a competitive slate of candidates for today's election. The Iranian Guardian Council, which vets presidential candidates, has eliminated those candidates who might have been perceived as having a reform or independent streak in them, including former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, whom the council declared unfit to run – to the dismay of reformists.

Since Friday is supposed to be a snowy evening, I'll second l'Espalier. You can walk across Dalton Street to the Sheraton and stroll through the Prudential Center to the restaurant. Ask for directions to reach the Mandarin Hotel from inside the center and walk through their second floor lobby to L'Espalier.
You could start out early and go downstairs to have a drink at the M-Lounge in the Mandarin on the way.

DJ Spooky, That Subliminal Kid (born Paul D. Miller, 1970), is a Washington DC-born electronic and experimental hip hop musician whose work is often called "illbient" or "trip hop". He is a turntablist and producer. He borrowed his stage name from the character The Subliminal Kid in the novel Nova Express by William S. Burroughs. He is also a professor at the European Graduate School.
DJ Spooky
DJ Spooky to tour with Launchpad
From humble beginnings as a party DJ in downtown New York, Paul D. Miller (a.k.a. DJ Spooky) is today a formidable force in hip hop. But he's also an acclaimed multimedia artist who's written on the subject of the history of hip hop and the aesthetics and art of the genre, and has criss-crossed the globe on the search for art and music.
His latest Album, The Secret Song, is a fusion of hip hop, dub, rock, house and breakbeat, with snippets of the numerous genres moulded together to form what reviewers have said "may be the only concept recording of the 21st century that can be considered crucial listening".
His forthcoming tour will see him using Novation's Launchpad alongside turntables when he takes the album on the road. DJ Spooky: "The thing with my music is that everything is made from bits and pieces, there's nothing that's a whole chunk of something. What you're doing these days is finding edit points. So when I'm touring with the album, I'll bounce all the pieces into the Live interface, set up Launchpad to my liking, then show up with my laptop and sequence things for my scratch routines."
"The way I see Launchpad is as a live instrument that I can incorporate in my DJ set for making music on the fly."
But it's not just on the road where DJ Spooky will be using Launchpad. In the studio, it will save him hours of programming time, thanks to its immensely tight integration with Ableton. "In the past, it would have taken a lot of time to programme all the edits, but with this, you can set up stutters and glitches in Live then trigger them on the fly with Launchpad. The software has changed the game but so far the interfaces haven't kept up. This is something that finally feels as flexible as what you were able to acheive back in the day."
You can catch DJ Spooky on tour in an exotic location near you. His new CD, The Secret Song, is out now, and can be downloaded from iTunes.

Study: Ga. charter schools struggling financiallyBy The Associated Press ATLANTA - A new study shows that nearly half of the charter schools started by independent organizations in Georgia could be in financial trouble.
The report reviewing the fiscal health of the charter schools in the state was released Tuesday by Georgia State University. It found that money problems have led a handful of charter schools to close in the last few years, but more could shut down if the schools don't find a way to operate in the black. The report looks at 25 charter schools that were open in 2006 and 2007, the most recent financial data available. The schools operate independently of local districts and the state, but receive taxpayer dollars. The schools are given the autonomy to be innovative and are exempt from most educational mandates, such as class size. Link: Georgia State University © Copyright 2015 AccessNorthGa.com

Short functional peptide motifs cooperate in many molecular functions including protein interactions, protein trafficking, and posttranslational modifications. Viruses exploit these motifs as a principal mechanism for hijacking cells and many motifs are necessary for the viral life-cycle. A virus can accommodate many short motifs in its small genome size providing a plethora of ways for the virus to acquire host molecular machinery. Host enzymes that act on motifs such as kinases, proteases, and lipidation enzymes, as well as protein interaction domains, are commonly mutated in human disease, suggesting that the short peptide motif targets of these enzymes may also be mutated in disease; however, this is not observed. How can we explain why viruses have evolved to be so dependent on motifs, yet these motifs, in general do not seem to be as necessary for human viability? We propose that short motifs are used at the system level. This system architecture allows viruses to exploit a motif, whereas the viability of the host is not affected by mutation of a single motif.

I want to put in a couple shooting lanes in my NRA classroom. Air Soft, 7 yards. What garage door openers work for lengths of 21 feet or so, that would work for target retrieval?

Call sears they carry genie and craftsman. Screw drive and chain drive. They will tel you what horse power you would need
A garage door opener of 20 foot or more would definitely be at least half horse. For retrieving targets any horse power would work the trick is to find the proper length for your application. You might want to check with your local overhead door repair man they take in alot of old openers and you may be able to find extra rails to extend your length. Sent from my XT1060 using Firearms Talk mobile app
A standard garage door opener would not work the limits would time out before 21' could be reached. The most travel you can get out of a residential garage door operator is 12'. Plus anything that is made after 2001 has to have a safety system that only allows for so many seconds of run. You would have to use a commercial operator and a heavy duty one at that to facilitate the 21' of reach. Just adding rail will and chain will not work. Pm me of you have any other questions. Sent from my iPad using Firearms Talk
Gads, for 20 whatever feet, why not use a pulley type Clothesline and do it by hand? Going further, any Motor with a small pulley will work fwd and reverse by tilting the motor against the upper or lower line. Keep it simple.
Dont you have quite a few target retrievers/students in your class?

Cold room - no heating, cigaret smoke leaking in from the corridor, no available info on hotel facilities, services, check-out time etc in the room, worn and uncomfortable double bed with the springs felt through the mattress, telephone not working. The breakfast was good with very typical Polish ingredients, in nice rooms. Unfortunately, music was played at too high volume in the breakfast room every day.

We had a good stay at the hotel Polonia. Everything was clean and tidy, the location is good (10 minute walk from the main square). The rooms weren't luxurious but good value for the money paid. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was great, a lot to choose from and very tasty. The only problem was that the walls between the rooms seem to be very thin - you get a lot of noise from your next door neighbours.

A hotel to spend no more than one night. Quite convenience if you are arriving by train. 15 minutes to city centre. Some areas in the hotel are really creepy. Worst breakfast I had in Poland.

If you are a safe sex practitioner who is also a raging weed addict, welcome to the greatest day of your life. A company in Amsterdam called Cannadom is now selling cannabis-flavored condoms that, according to the website, both smell and taste like the real thing. It's almost as if you just rolled a giant spliff and now you're about to...uh, never mind. Anyway, a single condom will run you about 2 bucks, or you can buy a 10-pack for around $13. Of course, since it is only weed flavored, it'll mean you get the taste of weed without getting the high. And since it's a condom, you'll get the act of sex without actually feeling it. Actually, you know what? Maybe this isn't such a great day.

Cranberry-Orange Cornish Hens
From Good Housekeeping
triple-tested at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Tom Kasica, of Melbourne, FL, contributed this recipe. Whether Tom is cooking for himself (he lives alone) or for a small group, he likes to make Cornish hens because they are easier to prepare than a whole turkey. "I love to try different spices, too," he says, which explains his tasty, coriander-laced stuffing.

Wedding: 10/22/2011
Booking with Rick Reuther's Music Host Entertainment was the easiest part of our wedding planning process. Our DJ, Andrew Round, was easy to reach, flexible about meeting times, laid back, yet professional. After our initial meeting, I had total confidence that he would do an amazing job. My husband, Nick, and I decided to go with the Jazz Trio for cocktail hour and dinner, then DJ after dinner.
The day of our wedding, Andrew was amazing. He had a presence that could only be described as classy. He looked as good as the wedding party in his tux! He had every detail taken care of; it was clear he knew what he was doing and he was so familiar with the venue and staff that everything was coordinated seamlessly. Every once in a while, he would check in with us to let us know what was coming up next and gave us time to finish up our mingling before we were needed to cut the cake or come up for our first dance, etc. He did so in a relaxed and well-paced manner. Never did it feel like things were dragging along or rushed.
The trio was WONDERFUL. I could have listened to them all night! Everyone commented on what a nice touch it brought to the after-ceremony ambiance. They played beautifully and it was perfect for cocktails and dinner. Not too soft, not too harsh. Got people's attention but didn't overpower conversations at the tables.
Andrew did a FABULOUS job playing fun music, appealing to different ages and genres. He really kept things lively. Nick and I had established a "No Play" list. No chicken dance, no Macarena, no Grease, etc. We also had a couple artists that we asked not be played. He respected our wishes and did so respectfully! Weeks after our weeding, we were out with friends. When a friend told us that he kept asking our DJ to play (banned artist), Andrew respectfully declined and explained our preferences in a way that was polite but firm, and with a smile. Rather than getting annoyed by his declined request, our friend was impressed with the way Andrew handled the situation. Enough so, that he wanted to make sure that he mentioned it to us!
DO NOT GAMBLE WITH ANYONE ELSE in GR; Rick Reuther's does a great job and you will not be disappointed. Ask for Andrew - he's the consummate professional!

We used Music Host Entertainment for our DJ at our wedding this past Friday. Joel, was absolutely AMAZING! He went above and beyond any expectations we had, our guests were dancing ALL night long!!!
Wedding: 6/2/2012
Can not say enough good things about this DJ company. Great to work with and went above and beyond a normal DJ's job. Made the whole night run smoothly. You WILL NOT REGRET booking them!
Wedding: 6/21/2014
My husband and I were married in June and had the most beautiful, fun, and hassle-free reception- much of which we owe to the wonderful people at Music Host. Our DJ, David, was truly amazing-can't thank him enough for giving us such awesome memories! For all the brides-to-be spending countless hours researching different vendors (trust me, I was there!), choosing Music Host will be the best decision you'll make. I was very particular about who we selected for a DJ and I had contacted several companies to 'shop around' and make sure I found the right one for us. I knew from the first time I talked to Rick (the owner) that I'd found the right one.
Our experience with Music Host was a little unique in that the DJ that was originally scheduled to do our wedding, Kurt, was unable to be there due to a sudden, tragic death in his family the day before the wedding. My mom, sister and I had met with Kurt a few weeks prior to the wedding to discuss the music selection and timing of the evening. He is such a personable, kind, and professional guy and I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders after meeting with him because I knew he would take care of everything. The night before the wedding Rick called us to tell us about Kurt's devastating loss and our hearts went out to him and his family. There was never a moment of panic or uncertainty, Rick assured us that Music Host always leaves one of their DJ's unscheduled each weekend in the event that something like this happens. David, our replacement DJ, called me the night before the wedding to discuss all the particulars, which Kurt had already meticulously organized and prepared. The reception was perfect and David kept the evening flowing with ease. Music Host is a professional, experienced company that will go above and beyond to make sure your reception is flawless. Can't thank these guys enough
Wedding: 9/27/2014
We chose Rick Reuthers music host entertainment for our wedding because we knew we wanted the best of the best. A trusted, well known company with many years experience was just what we were looking for. We were blessed with Joel for our DJ. What an amazing DJ he was! We met with Joel prior to our wedding and he seemed to know exactly what we were looking for. We didn't even make a play list we just went over a few basics and Joel took it from there. Needless to say our wedding was AMAZING and I contribute a great deal of that to the music. The music was great, the dance floor was PACKED all night and everyone is still talking about how much fun they had and how great our DJ was. Joel is a professional. He adjusts to the crowd to keep the floor full. We couldn't be any happier with the service we were provided and we will certainly be referring Joel/ music host to all future brides/grooms. Thanks again Joel!:)
Wedding: 8/12/2014
We wanted to let you know we enjoyed planning our daughter's wedding with your business.
The DJ services provided for our barn wedding reception, July 12, 2014 by David White were fantastic! His communication to us behind the scene and announcing the events of the evening were very professional.
The music was a huge hit! The appetizer/ dinner hour was relaxed according to plan. He was then able to engage all our guest creating an energetic atmosphere. The dance floor was filled for 2 plus hours with the volume maintianed at a level that others could still enjoy visiting. He did a great mix of country and pop. Several commented that his services were the best they had experienced.
Thanks so much for helping us bless our children and guests with a memorable evening.
Wedding: 8/5/2014
I booked Music Host Entertainment for my wedding this past August. My brother had them as their DJ for their wedding back in 2011 and they did a great job back then. From the very first conversation I had with my DJ, Jeff Schroeder, I was impressed! He was incredibly professional, personable, funny, and very thorough! I had a hard time picking songs for the special events of the night and he was quick to throw out some great suggestions for me. He came to our meeting well prepared and covered things I hadn't even thought of, like what attire I would prefer him to wear the night of the wedding.
At my reception, we had a pretty strict time frame because it was Friday night wedding, and I didn't want things to go too late. The bridal party ended up arriving late but Jeff was so great at speeding things up and keeping us going through the toasts, cake cutting, and first dances without it feeling too rushed. Everything ended up falling in on time!
Jeff was great at song choices and timing throughout the night. He could really get a feel for when the guests didn't like a song and knew when to move on to something else.
Overall, Jeff and Music Host Entertainment were incredible. I am a firm believer that the DJ will make or break your reception and I have no regrets choosing Music Host Entertainment for my big day! I will recommend them to every future bride I know!
Wedding: 7/27/2013
Our wedding went off without a hitch in large part due to our MC and DJ Jeff Schroeder from Music Host Entertainment. I would highly recommend him as he is professional, personal and a pleasure to work with. He did everything just as we wished. I couldn't have asked for a better service or experience. Thanks Jeff!
Wedding: 9/7/2014
We had the honor of initially meeting DJ Joel at my now husband's brother's wedding the year before we got married. At their wedding and ours, he did a wonderful job of presenting and orchestrating the night. In our talks prior to our wedding, we were very impressed by the level of thought he put in to song choices for certain dances and the order in which to play them to keep the party going. Moreover, we were very pleased at how easily Joel coordinated with our other vendors, in particular the live band that played during cocktail hour and dinner :).
Wedding: 7/12/2014
Our wedding was nicely done and Jeff did a nice job as our disc jockey. He did exactly what we wanted as an introduction and kept the night moving right along as we wanted to. He was very responsive and reliable during the pre-wedding meetings and answered any questions we had going into the big day. Overall it was a good experience for us both.
Wedding: 8/16/2014
Your reception is in great hands with these guys. We would especially recommend our DJ, Joel, who did a phenomenal job with the pacing and organization of the reception. Joel asked for our input on certain important aspects (e.g. "Would you like to transition to the first dance now or give it a few more minutes?") and took care of the rest in a very positive, professional way. Everyone had a great time, requests were played, and Joel kept the music coming.
Wedding: 6/30/2014
Our DJ, Joel, was amazing! Very organized, and seemed to be very flexible. Extremely knowledgeable with many different genres of music, and was able to play everything we were hoping for! Our guests LOVED the music - the whole night!
Also, he was very professional not only at meetings, but also at the reception. I am 110% pleased with our experience! I know many others who used Music Host Entertainment who also had amazing experiences. I would recommend them to anyone!
Wedding: 8/8/2014
I could not be more pleased with the music at our wedding and owe it all to Kurt! He did an amazing job with the flow of the reception and kept our dance floor packed ALL night. Our guests didn't want to leave! We received, and continue to receive compliments on how wonderful and CLASSY it was. Perfect for my "simple, classic elegance" theme. Absolutely loved the Jazz Trio for my cocktail hour and dinner-it made the room feel like I was in a dream. One of my favorite memories is of my mom singing a song with the Trio and my sister singing our fist dance song. Kurt even gave us a CD of the songs at the end of the night to add a personal touch. I can't say enough good things and how glad I am that I chose them for our special day!
Wedding: 7/26/2014
Very professional! Our DJ, David White was awesome. Very accomodating, funny, and was a great emcee for the evening. Wedding music can be hit or miss, but David really made our special day unforgettable! Thanks David!
Wedding: 9/6/2014
What a wonderful company to work with. Very professional. We worked with Andrew who did a great job and was really patient with us. Highly recommended from a someone who appreciates good quality and great service!
Wedding: 8/23/2014
I was very impressed with Andrew and VERY glad we went with him! He was great about checking in just the right amount of times and made sure that we were having fun! We even had a bride from another wedding at the B.O.B. walk through the dance floor on our mother/son father/daughter dance and blame him for the mic coming in downstairs....he handled the situation exactly how I would have wanted, by staying calm and collected...especially since it wasn't his fault. My husband and I asked for song requests on our RSVP cards so we had a rough playlist for the night, but Andrew still took requests that night (and paid attention to our do not play list). Everyone raved about the music! I would definitely recommend to others!! Thanks, Andrew!
Wedding: 8/9/2015
I used Andrew Rounds for our DJ and he was so great to work with and knew exactly what we wanted for our wedding music he was also a lot of fun for our wedding guests as well. We also used Rick Reuther and the quartet which was SUCH a great idea for cocktail hour and beginning of reception they were awesome and so much fun! Great music in all!
Wedding: 8/23/2014
This company was great to work with! Joel was appointed to our wedding and he was fantastic! Could not have asked for a better DJ! He knew exactly what to do and when. He really puts you at ease and really is the narrator of the whole night. Between myself, the photographer and our DJ, we were in constant communication as to when each piece of the night would happen and it all fell into place. Our guests danced all night long and we received tons of reviews from these guests as to how our DJ really knew what kind of music to play. He knew how to read the crowd to see what was keeping people on the dance floor. Joel was great to work with and I could not have asked for a better DJ and "captain" that night. He kept everything going.
Wedding: 7/26/2014
Right from the start, our DJ, Joel, was incredibly professional and understanding. He was quick to respond to emails and set up meetings to get to know us and what we wanted. He was never pushy and provided examples of what would work well for us. We told Joel we wanted everyone to be out on the dance floor the whole night and that's exactly what we got. He played a variety of music that encouraged everyone to dance. He did an outstanding job of controlling the night and making sure everything ran smoothly. I would definitely recommend Joel as a DJ for anyone's wedding!
Wedding: 5/17/2014
I used Music Host Entertainment at my wedding and could not be happier with my decision. I found the company through a recommendation and am so glad I did. Jeff was my DJ and he did a fabulous job! We met together several weeks before the wedding for well over an hour to plan out every tiny detail. Jeff did the music for my ceremony and reception. Everything from the songs switching depending who was walking down the aisle to announcing introducing the bridal party and speeches went off without a hitch! They really do run all the major events so you can enjoy your night and not have to worry about timing. I prepared a song list and Jeff stuck to it super well, some guests requested songs, but he made sure he had a "do not play list" from me to make sure the few requests he did allow were okay. My friends who are engaged asked who our DJ was at the wedding because they liked him so much. We also had people comment that the music wasn't too loud, apparently at other wedding they had been to the music was so loud that you couldn't talk and it really turned people off. The music was the perfect volume, he stuck to our song list, and he ran the whole event from start to finish. If you book music host entertainment you won't regret it!!!
Elegance and Fun!
Friendly, gracious professionals who provide a level of competence and class you may not have thought possible from a DJ company. Explore our signature Jazz pack option with a seamless flow of live dinner music to DJ dance music. Always delivering superb sound and lighting.

Findings for PPC in Providence
Providence Ranks Amongst Least Expensive Markets for Google Adwords in USA
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that Providence was the 173rd least expensive city in USA in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of December 2014. Providence also ranks amongst the least expensive cities in Rhode Island, ranking as number 1st. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in the country, while Manchester ranked as the least expensive city.
Month over Month Google Adwords Prices for Providence Rise in December 2014
SEP's research shows that the average price of a click to advertisers targeting Providence keywords increased by 13% in December 2014.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 11% Higher in Providence than Cambridge
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Providence are 11% higher than in Cambridge. The average price of a click in Providence is $8.97.
This price difference is understandable though, given the population of Cambridge is less than Providence, which generally means less competition and therefore lower prices.
To get a better sense of relative prices, we also compared prices with another city of equal population, Salt Lake City, and found the average price of a click in Providence was 46% lower than in Salt Lake City. This suggests that perhaps prices in Providence are relatively low.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

Data for Social Justice: The Impact of Data on Underserved Communities
Wednesday, September 10, 2014 - 9:00am - 10:30am
Center for Data Innovation
1101 K Street, NW
Data-driven innovation promises to deliver a wide array of social and economic benefits from better and more affordable health care to improvements in education. But how can we ensure that the riches of the data "gold rush" are shared by all members of society? Better use of data can help combat discrimination, promote equality, and ensure social justice, but to achieve these outcomes, policymakers must embrace these opportunities.
Join the Center for Data Innovation for a panel discussion about the technologies and policies that can ensure that the rising tide of data "lifts all boats" and helps build a more inclusive society.
The event is free, open to the public and complies with ethics rules.

Troubled Air Force tanker program halted
Defense Secretary Robert Gates calls the aircraft procurement effort too flawed to continue.
Northrop Grumman Corp./AP/FILE
Once again, there is no joy for the Air Force.
The most recent delay in the service's bid to procure a new tanker means it could take three more years for the service to see a new refueling plane. And by that time, say experts in Washington, the Air Force will have had to completely revamp its flawed acquisition program blamed for years of delays in what the service says is its most critical purchase.
"It's like we're starting over," says Loren Thompson, a senior analyst at the Lexington Institute, a public policy group in Arlington, Va., adding that the service must now enter a phase of extreme introspection.
"The Air Force so thoroughly fouled up the acquisition of the next generation tanker that it has raised broader questions about the acquisition community," he says.
On Wednesday, Defense Secretary Robert Gates made a surprise announcement that he is canceling altogether the $35 billion contract to replace the Air Force's fleet of tankers, a move that put defense giants Boeing Co. and Northrop Grumman back at Square 1.
The move came after the Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a controversial set of recommendations earlier this summer saying that the Air Force's original decision to award the contract for 179 new tankers to Northrop Grumman and its partner, France-based EADS, was flawed.

The Wii is already bloated with party games, but there's a good chance the frenetic pace and schizophrenic style of WarioWare: Smooth Moves will topple them all. Using only the remote (called the Form Baton here), you'll engage in 200-plus ultra-fast minigames that range from clipping fingernails to balancing on a ball to whacking the thieving arm of a dodgy old man. Each lasts mere seconds, and then it's off to the next with barely any time to catch your breath. It's fast, it's fun and most importantly, it charges the room with an energy few other titles can muster. Basically, when you've got two girls saying "Oh my God could this get any cuter?" and that's followed by "It just did!" you've got a multiplayer winner.
As a series, WarioWare has always been about slapping you in the face with incessant minigames. What makes Smooth Moves the best yet is its expert use of the remote - before each minigame, you're shown a way to hold the remote for maximum efficiency. For example, "The Janitor" is a form where you hold the remote vertically like a broom and swish it side to side. "The Boxer" has you holding the wand in an outstretched arm, ready to strike at a moment's notice. Some of the strangest ones, like "The Mohawk," "The Elephant" and "The Samurai" practically force you to get off the damn couch and act out nutty movements in front of the whole room. And trust us, you'll want to play this game with friends.

I used to like agapanthus. I preferred the softer smaller ones, and I liked the ones with darker blue flowers. I knew some of them were noxious weeds but I wasn't sure which ones were which, so I continued to grow them. It was so easy to divide them to fill gaps, and they were totally reliable.

influence of cyberfriends and new mulching method
I used to like agapanthus. I preferred the softer smaller ones, and I liked the ones with darker blue flowers. I knew some of them were noxious weeds but I wasn't sure which ones were which, so I continued to grow them. It was so easy to divide them to fill gaps, and they were totally reliable.
13 comments:
Poor Agapanthus, love them, love them, love them! Wouldn't want to be without mine at all, they bring a real wow to my border by the drive in the summer. I know, in some parts of the worls, that they are considered weeds, but definitely not here, we can continue to enjoy them in our part of the world.
ReplyDeleteCatmint, I've hated Agapanthus as long as I've known it. That's an exaggeration. What I've hated is the laziness of gardeners who've used it EVERYWHERE simply because it fills in space. There are zillions of other plants.
Two other points: Agapanthus CAN look really good. Australian light does not lend itself to a multitude of plants that are used extensively, and to me, Agapanthus can be one of them.My Agapanthus, some grown from seed, have only agreed to flower nicely this year. Now I've learnt the hard way that they are from the other summer rainfall side of our country.
I share your mulching method but - the secret is to clip it into hand sized pieces. That quickly settles and rots to an unnoticed mulch. Yes, absolutely anything is better than bare baked earth. Someone said it makes them think of third degree burns, or flayed alive. And our neighbours call it clean and tidy!Hi Catmint, I do love the Agapanthus flowers and like you, once grew them in our garden. They made it through two summers in our driveway border before I removed them. The leaves just looked wrong in our mostly indigenous garden, our sometimes scorching heat burned the leaf tips and they couldn't get by on just rainfall as our other plants do. As with many other plants, I can admire them, without wanting them.
ReplyDeleteDear Pauline, enjoy them, we share a lot, but also differ on some things.
Dear Faisal, Agapanthus can look good. It's partly I think that I just want a change.
Dear Alastair, you are welcome to use my mulching method, I decided not to copyright it.
Dear Diana, I didn't realize that they are not from your part of SA. We should talk about plants being indigenous to a particular area, shouldn't we. Cutting the mulch in small bits is of course desirable, depending how hot and tired you are at the time!
Hi Re, I can admire them but mostly they look uninspiring.
Dear Diana, great minds think alike!
cheers, catmintdear diana, I'm so pleased the boys liked the picture.
dear catherine, it's very interesting how we change, I never tolerated orange and yellow, now I love those colours. I'm not keen on that cedar, but that's only today ...
Dear andrea, I wish you a happy new year, with yellow cosmos found!
dear Phoebe, every space provides an exciting opportunity ... keep you posted.
Dear Mrs B, so far it's still a space ... yes eyes are gleaming, I could salivate too but that wouldn't be so socially acceptable ...
cheers, catmint
