CAREER GEAR HOUSTON Reviews
Invite reviews
Invite friends and colleagues to share their experiences with this nonprofit
April 15, 2014
Dear Friends, I have personally seen men come in job ready for an interview, but they do not have the job attire needed for their first scheduled and confirmed job interview. These men are sometimes down and out, needing a second chance. After their appointment with Career Gear Houston, these men leave feeling like a million bucks!! Their heads are lifted a little higher and their self confidence and self worth are back! These men leave wearing a nice business suit, dress shirt, tie, and belt, socks and shoes if we have them in their sizes and have received some from our donors. We believe that if you help out a man, he is able to help his entire family; wife and children. Thank you in advance for your consideration, as many times we operate on a shoe string budget! http://careergearhouston.org/
December 7, 2012
As a volunteer, I would like to encourage everyone to make a financial donation today to this great organization! Career Gear Houston operates each year on a shoe string budget. Getting friends to donate clothing is not the problem, and is truly appreciated. However, funds are needed each month to keep the doors open. Financial donations of any amount will help to pay for electricity, telephone, internet, and other misc monthly bills that come in. Thank you for sharing your holidays! Abundant Blessings! For additional information, please contact Chris Pfaff, Founder and President of Career Gear Houston, at 830-629-2297
Thanks again for your time and consideration!
Gloria Greene
Marketing Volunteer 832-689-2988
Looking to make a end of the year tax donation? Please help us on December 15th by sharing your holidays, sponsor a Career Gear Houston male client for $100.00 or more. Any amount will help.

December 6, 2012
After being somewhat unemployed for the last year, I volunteered at Career Gear Houston because their cause and care is so genuine and important to those of us wanting to claim our life back. Months after volunteering I needed their services so I went down to Texas Workforce, received a voucher and got an appointment and fitting within a day. Donna and Christine are angels sent from heaven and I wish them success and recognition for their assistance to all of us needing a hand up - never an handout. I highly recommend Career Gear Houston to any potential donor, person wanting to volunteer, or a potenial client of need. For me, they were a Godsend. Keep up the great work y'all do.

Ryan Fisher
Ryan's Contributions
Ryan Fisher hasn't written any articles yet.
About Ryan Fisher
Ryan Fisher is a graduate of the Musician's Institute School of Music Business. His experience with music and the music industry ranges from his high school Choral, Jazz Band, Symphonic Band, and Competition Band experience to his career as an independent-jazz performing acoustic artist/percussionist and studio drummer to a more recent internship with a Music Licensing Firm in Los Angeles, California. As a Professional Musician- Drums, Guitar, and Commercial Voice are Ryan's passion. He has studied with and taken master-classes from globally recognized artists/mentors such as Derico Watson, Dom Famularo, Rene Grant Williams, and Jessica Ford. The massive symphony of concepts, techniques, methods, philosophies, and work ethics that Ryan was fortunate enough to learn at a young age have been combined, rearranged, and improved upon; the cumulative inspiration each instructor provided compels Ryan to transfer, in a single package, his knowledge to other young aspiring musicians. Currently, Ryan works as a private instructor for Percussion, Guitar, and Voice. As a member, Ryan attends PASIC to spread new ideas and techniques with some of the world's top drummers, industry professionals, and teachers. He looks forward to attending NAMM and other conventions. Ryan also volunteers to perform clinics at Elementary, Junior-high, and High School summer music camps to further the advancement of music education. Aside from personal music study, Ryan pursued Juilliard for the Bachelors in Jazz Studies Percussion program, but noticed greater opportunity for his specific music career elsewhere. Ryan attended Belmont School of Music- Nashville, TN - for a Bachelors in Percussion and Voice in 2009. While at Belmont, Ryan realized the importance of understanding the Music Business, which led him to Musician's Institute in Los Angeles, CA- one of the top Music Business programs. Ryan is a Jazz-o-holic and Audiophile/Recording artist. Ryan emphasizes and appreciates: true quality and excellence in all form, a will to develop a deep understanding, and educated, positive, logical hypotheses. In accordance, Ryan constantly seeks personal advancement of an unbiased respect for all forms from Jazz to metal; Ryan sees all music as an art of expression subjectively judged by the listener, whose single opinion is not necessarily indicative of what another listener might hear. His more recent listening revolves around Jazz and Classical, because he sees these genres as the innovator for more than 90% of genres that exist today. In his recent research in the field of high quality audio, he has found an interest and passion for holophonic recording and .Wav 32-bit Lossless files. Today, Ryan studies Business and is preparing to attend the USC Entrepreneurship programs. He plans to follow his degree with an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business. He is extremely involved in tennis training and anticipates his ambitions of playing NCAA Division 1 tennis for USC. Ryan's philosophy is a complex yet minimalistic approach that resembles "The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary." – Vince Lombardi. He seeks to form relationships with intellectuals, break competition, and learn as much as he can from others in all fields of study. Edit: Another good one: "If you don't know all the information, will your life fall apart? No. It will simply pass you by."
Ryan Fisher joined the JazzTimes community on Dec 05, 2010

You hear a lot about financial identity theft, but a lesser known form of identity fraud happens every day when people fake their identities during routine traffic stops.
What has happened during those routine traffic stops is a drivers will say they don't have their license or ID on them and give officers a name that is not their own.
Often times the name given is that of a family member or close friend, someone the driver knows very well and is able to recite personal information by memory.
If someone doesn't have their driver's license on them when they are pulled over the officer can take a picture of them. And even if they have an ID on them the officer can snap a photo if he has any doubt about who the person is.
This law would have been a big help to officers who stopped John Dickinson, a North Carolina man who gave fake names on more than 20 DWI stops.
Dickinson pleaded guilty to four DWIs in September and was sentenced to eight and a half years behind bars.
Another law that went into affect in October is also designed to stop identity fraud. That one requires law enforcement officers to photograph and get fingerprints of people pulled over for DWIs who do not present a license.

Some of the pages and features were slow to start, even with high-speed Internet access. The most advanced and customizable part of the site, Disney XD, still had parts that weren't working, and Disney said it remained in a testing mode.
"It looks good, but it's very slow to load. I have a feeling they're gearing this toward the teenagers," one fan wrote on the MiceChat.com discussion forum.
Al Lutz, a longtime Disney watcher who writes at MiceAge.com, said the navigation was too complicated. But he added, "Anything's better than what they had before."
A Disney spokesman declined to comment on the number of Web visitors or the sort of feedback received by the firm.

Cisco Earnings: Live Blog Recap
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Despite concerns that Cisco (CSCO - Get Report) would feel the same pressures that weighed on other Silicon Valley heavyweights this earnings season, the networking giant eased past Wall Street's estimates on Tuesday.
Cisco reported first-quarter revenue of $11.88 billion and earnings of 48 cents a share, up from $11.27 billion and 43 cents a share in the prior year's quarter. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were looking for sales of $11.77 billion and earnings of 46 cents a share.
Similar to its prior-quarter results, Cisco enjoyed strength in its U.S. enterprise business, which saw revenue grow 9% year-over-year. The company's U.S. service provider sales were also robust, increasing 13% compared to the prior year's quarter.
"We delivered record results this quarter -- with revenue growth of 6 percent and strong earnings per share growth -- demonstrating our vision and strategy are working," said Chambers in the company's press release. "Our innovation engine, operational discipline and on-going evolution are enabling us to differentiate in the market." The tech bellwether also offered healthy guidance, predicting revenue between $11.9 billion and $12.1 billion and earnings of 47 to 48 cents a share. The current consensus view calls for revenue of $12.02 billion and earnings of 47 cents a share. Investors relished the results, pushing Cisco's shares up 7.06% to $18.04 in extended trading on Tuesday.

America gives him a Standing Ovation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=att6NNC2DKM&mode=related&search=
Funny how that was downplayed in the press, in fact I think it came out as he was booed by a minority, guess it depends where you sit and how you view it.
Did you see him make a move for the dugout right off the mound, but then turned to the catcher. He was friggin clueless, and he wanted to leave.
Emotions on display form hardliner Neo-Con DICK CHENEY, he acted like he was crushed, and deservedly so in my opinion...The wrath of public opinion in americas favorite past time is Clear and Precise directed at The VP of the bush administration...He should stick to fox news and the heritage foundation if he needs his balls shined.

The biggest member of the Shadow Group from the Teimo High, Unsho Onizuka is not a person to get mad. He relies on his brute strength and size in order to gain a quick advantage in battle. He is brought along by Kiriya in his attempt at getting revenge.
Not much is known about the origins or early years of Unsho Onizuka, other than the fact that he is one of the four members that make up Teimo Tech's feared Shadow Group and that he is their biggest member. He is rarely seen with both eyes open, and can be seen usually with his left eye open.
Unsho Onizuka, who is created by Ryuhei Tamura, has no information regarding any inspiration used to create him. He first appears in Episode 36 of Beelzebub. His Japanese voice actor is Teruyuki Tanzawa.
Unsho Onizuka and the rest of the Shadow Group first make their appearance within Beelzebub inside one of the maid cafes that is being held during the St. Ishiyama Academy Festival. Their leader, the skinhead Kotaro Mikagami, is shown questioning one of the maid waitresses about the pricing on one of the items posted on the menu. His meal, however, is interrupted when Unsho, Kosei Kuroki, and Takumi Dezaki arrive to notify him that Kiriya along with the other Teimo Tech thugs has made their move inside of the gym. They depart from the cafe and begin making their way towards the gym, to where their partner Reiji Kiriya and several dozen Teimo Tech delinquents have taken the student population hostage in the process of getting Kiriya his long-awaited revenge upon Oga Tatsumi. It is after Miki reveals to Kiriya about his involvement in the incident three years ago with Oga back in middle school that the feared Shadow Group from Teimo Tech makes their appearance inside the gym to help aid Kiriya in his quest for revenge. The unsuspecting Miki is blindsided by a powerful two-way attack that sends him flying across the gym floor from the impact of both of Takumi and Kosei's attacks.
Faced with multiple enemies and with the well-being of the St. Ishiyama students being held hostage on the line, Oga and Miki team up in order to deal with the members of the Shadow Group first before turning their attention upon the vengeful Kiriya. Oga decides to take on leader Kotaro Mikagami, Unsho Onizuka, and Reiji Kiriya while Miki takes care of both Kosei Kuroki and Takumi Dezaki. Charging forward at full speed, Unsho slams his broad shoulder into Oga with such force that it sends him sliding backwards across the gym floor, doing his best to defend himself against the pushing attack until he manages to bring the stunned Unsho to a stop. Puzzled, Kotaro wonders how Oga managed to stop Unsho's usually unstoppable advance, and before he knows it, Oga launches a "super" version of his fabled Burying Punch, slamming his fist into the gut of the flabbergasted Unsho with such force that it sends him flying across the gym, colliding with the stunned Kotaro and sends both of them smashing into the wooden bleachers with such force that they get stuck in them. Meanwhile, Miki faces off with Kosei and his dangerous num-chucks, and with a single strike, manages to not only shatter Kosei's weapon into pieces, he brings the shell-shocked Kosei down with a single hit. Watching in pure disbelief, the stunned Kiriya watches as the feared Shadow Group from Teimo Tech gets utterly humiliated in battle against both Oga and Miki, and before he knows it, he becomes the target of Oga's wrath.
Unlike some of the characters in Beelzebub that use powerful, superhuman-like attacks against their foes, Unsho Onizuka relies mainly upon his brute strength and towering figure in order to gain a upper hand in battle. Being the largest member of the Shadow Group, he is the member who takes care of business when the need for brutality and size is called upon. He uses a powerful charging attack against Oga in their brief fight inside of the gym by slamming his broad shoulders into Oga's chest. His powerful attack is stopped by Oga and it is after his attack fails that Unsho is K.O'ed by Oga's "Super Burying Punch" .

General Levy (born Paul Levy, 28 May 1971, London, England) is a British born ragga vocalist, regularly employed on studio tracks by drum and bass DJs. He is best known for the track "Incredible" which he recorded with M-Beat.
General Levy's first major releases were with the independent record label, Fashion Records, who signed a distribution deal with London Records for the re-releases of the tracks he had recorded. He had earlier releases with the record producers Lloydy Crucial and Robbo Ranx, but these were mainly tracks that were hits on the underground dance scene. General Levy was ostracised by the UK jungle scene in 1994, due to comments he made relating to his collaboration with M-Beat on "Incredible". He had claimed in an interview with The Face that "I run jungle at the moment". Many[who?] argued that certain artists were lambasted, while other artists are able to communicate their feelings without any backlash. "Incredible" was featured in the film Ali G Indahouse.
General Levy introduced and popularized the slang word "booyaka" which has been attributed to "the closest sound to a gunshot", but which Levy claims is a salutation in the jungle scene. "Booyaka" was the catch-phrase that the character Ali G adopted in the film, Ali G Indahouse. General Levy briefly collaborated with Rocco Barker of Flesh for Lulu in the band The Space Police. Levy also featured on the song "Only God Can Judge Me" by R&B singer Mark Morrison.

Constantine Koukias
Constantine Koukias (born 14 October 1965) is a Tasmanian composer and opera director of Greek ancestry based in Amsterdam, where he is known by his Greek name of Konstantin Koukias. He is the co-founder and artistic director of IHOS Music Theatre and Opera, which was established in 1990 in Tasmania's capital city, Hobart.
Koukias's works range from large-scale music theatre and opera to mobile installation art events. His atmospheric compositions are characterised by mesmerising temporal, spatial and production designs, while his recent works exhibit eastern influences.[1] His avant-garde approach to the presentation of opera has resulted in hybrid productions such as Days and Nights with Christ,[2][3] To Traverse Water, Mikrovion, The Divine Kiss, Tesla – Lightning in His Hand and The Barbarians.[4][5] His music theatre works include ICON, Kimisis – Falling Asleep, Borders, Orfeo, Rapture – Sonic Taxi Performance, Schwa – The Neutral Vowel, Antigone and The Da Ponte Project.
Koukias was commissioned in 1993 by the Sydney Opera House Trust to compose the large-scale music theatre piece ICON to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Sydney Opera House. His Incantation II for soprano and digital delay won the International Valentino Bucchi Vocal Prize in Rome in 1997,[6] and in 2004 he was awarded a Sir Winston Churchill Fellowship.[7]
Prayer Bells, in which the composer draws on traditions of Latin, Hebrew and Byzantine chant,[8] had its US premiere in 2010 at the Chicago Cultural Center.[9]
The Barbarians, which was commissioned by the Museum of Old and New Art and inspired by Constantine Cavafy's poem Waiting for the Barbarians, premiered in Hobart in 2012 as part of the MONA FOMA festival.[10] It was nominated for a Helpmann Award for Best New Opera[11] the same year, and Tasmanian company Liminal Spaces won the Event category of Australia's Interior Design Excellence Awards for its conceptualisation of the production's design.[12]
In 2014, Kimisis – Falling Asleep had its Netherlands premiere at Splendor Amsterdam and toured to the Karavaan Festival.[13]
Koukias has been the recipient of numerous other international commissions and awards, and his design credits include the internationally acclaimed Odyssey and Medea.[14]
Koukias studied at the Tasmanian Conservatorium of Music and the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

Loyola of Chicago Ramblers (5-10)
@Youngstown St. Penguins (8-6)
Thursday, January 05
Beeghly Center
Attendance: 1,415
Loyola of Chicago
Youngstown St.
Youngstown, OH (Sports Network) - Ashen Ward scored 21 points, leading four starters in double figures, as the Youngstown State Penguins captured a 68-64 overtime win against the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers in Horizon League play at the Beeghly Center.
Damian Eargle accounted for 14 points, nine rebounds and five blocked shots for the Penguins (8-6, 3-1 HL) as they won their second straight outing. Kendrick Perry chipped in 13 points and Blake Allen 11 in 43 minutes of action.
The Ramblers (5-10, 0-5), still the only team in the Horizon without a league victory, were led by Walt Gibler who put together a double-double with 26 points and 11 rebounds, both of which were game highs as the team lost for the third time in as many games. Ben Averkamp made good on all four of his three- point tries as he finished with 23 points before fouling out.
Loyola led by five points early in the meeting, but the team ended up hitting only nine total field goals in the first half, leaving the Ramblers with a 29-22 deficit at the break.
In the second half YSU had issues out on the perimeter, converting just 2-of-9 shots behind the three-point line, not to mention 5-of-12 at the free-throw line which opened the door for the Ramblers to battle back. A layup by Gibler with under one minute remaining in regulation gave the visitors a one-point lead at 58-57, but Kendrick sent the meeting into overtime after he converted the second of his two free throws with just over 20 seconds remaining.
Even though YSU made just 4-of-9 at the charity stripe in the bonus session, the Penguins still came out on top thanks to 3-of-4 shooting from the floor.
The hosts made good on only 10-of-23 shots at the free-throw line, but the fact that they turned the ball over just three times made up for that inaccuracy.

The New Coffee Shop "Dumb Starbucks"
Starbucks most widely know for their coffee, started up in Seattle, Washington in the early 1970's. In Amarillo we have three Starbucks coffee shops across the city. What if one you could open up your own Starbucks shop with out getting into trouble?
21 Examples of Starbucks Employees Completely Massacring Someone's Name
If there's one thing we love about Starbucks, it's that they always give us a place to go to the bathroom. Aside from that, it's also always a good time when they mix up a customer's name. When a Hong Kong Starbucks employee thought a woman named Virginia was actually named Vagina, we laughed.
We figured why not keep the laughs coming and found some more Starbucks name fails. We also included what the original name is supposed to be, since it's not always entirely clear. You're welcome.
Jimmy Kimmel's $7 Starbucks Challenge
The new seven dollar cup of Starbucks coffee left talk show host Jimmy Kimmel wondering: would people even notice a difference between the regular cup and the premium?
Is This the World's Most Expensive Starbucks Drink?
People who get their morning jolt of caffeine from Starbucks are accustomed to the steep prices, but Logan Warren of the site Geek on Call may very well have found the exact combination necessary to create the most expensive Starbucks drink in the history of ever.
The tab? Almost $24.00.
Starbucks' Eggnog Latte is the Big Mac of Holiday Drinks
If there is one thing the holiday season is good for, it's getting to partake in many delicious, yet terribly unhealthy, food and drinks. Starbucks' Eggnog Latte may be pushing the envelope of bad holiday food a little too far.
White Whine Tackles the Minor Perils of Starbucks Coffee
White Whine, a website dedicated to chronicling all the first world problems folks complain about, has just released a very important infographic about the everyday challenges of Starbucks drinks.
Teen Arrested for Fighting With Mom Over Starbucks Coffee
We all get a little cranky before our morning coffee fix, but a teen in South Florida went off the deep end after his mom drank his Starbuck's iced coffee without asking permission first.

Proactive Threat Protection Off after install - waiting for updates
Created: 11 Jan 2008 • Updated: 21 May 2010 | 6 comments
We pushed Endpoint 11 installation to two clients. Now the clients show Proactive Threat Protection is OFF with status waiting for updates. "
When I click FIX I get a dialog with:
"Endpoint Protection has requested new definitions from the management server. When the management server responds..."
We started the Management Server Console and set LiveUpdate policy to allow clients to do their own LiveUpdate but the LiveUpdate button is still disabled on the clients. I suspect the clients aren't seeing the management server but don't know how to diagnose this. I supposed that by using the Migration & Deployment Wizard a connection between the deployed client and the management server would be insured. I did add one of the PC's manually to the console but don't see any indication that made a difference.
Can anyone assist with this?
Note we have started installing the rest of the Endpoint Clients manually and they can do the live update thing and have full protection.
Thanks for any help with this.

The Proactive Threat Protection doesn't work on Windows Servers... If you install that feature on a server, you'll see exactly the symptoms you've described.
I found that out the hard way too because I didn't read all the documents before installing to some systems (desktops and servers)... it had me puzzled for a few days before I realized that's not a supported option on servers.
Also, the network threat protection, if you selected that option as well, doesn't show up until after a reboot.
In the SEPM can you find the clients and do they have a green light signifying they are connected to the server. On the clients you installed manually was the install from an exported install package or from the CD?
Do the clients show up in the management console with out manually creating the entry? If not make sure you do not have a firewall on the server preventing the clients from connecting.
This issue still could not been slove since last year.
Please ref. below this K.B from Symantec :
to symantec employee:
What time we can get this solve ? It's could be hack when this issue not been solve.
Hi kindly check the link below why the Proactive threat protection status shows "off" in the client interface most especially if it's server. One good reason is that PTP doesn't work for servers.

GOOD NUDES FOR CLUNES; For wife-swapping drama Touch And Go, Martin Clunes had to get his kit off yet again. He bares all to Phil Tusler about his swinging career move.
Martin Clunes lies naked on a bed, having added another woman to his list of conquests. He leans over and plants a seductive kiss on the lips of the blonde, then says his farewells.Twenty-four hours later, he's at it again - this time with a different woman in another bed. And then it's back home to the wife.
But this is not a return to Martin's hell-raising past. His bed-hopping is confined to the drama Touch And Go, which is shown on BBC2 on Tuesday at 9pm.
"This bloke I play has every woman he comes across," says Martin, 35. "Not that I'd ever consider wife-swapping. Besides, I don't think the missus would approve."
The "missus" is producer Philippa Braithwaite. They met filming Staggered four years ago, following the break-up of Martin's first marriage to actress Lucy Aston. They had only been married a few months when Martin took on the part of swinger Nick Wood in Touch And Go, which required him to spend his working days naked in bed with other women.
"She wasn't very keen about it but these things have to be done," Martin smiles. "You know how you ask, 'What did you do at work today?' That was awkward. I could've said, 'I went to bed with these wonderful women' but I don't think it was quite what she wanted to hear. Luckily, not a lot fazes her, or me.
"I'm not sure whether she'll watch it when it comes out - I know I won't. I'm proud of the film but I'm sick of watching my stupid face."
It's not the first time Martin has appeared naked for the cameras - for Staggered, TV drama Neville's Island and even Men Behaving Badly he has stripped off. But not even he was prepared for the amount of nudity he'd be required to do for Touch And Go.
"I started off playing a few scenes in my underwear because I was a bit self-conscious," he says. "But a day or two into it I thought, 'What the hell' and off came the trolleys. It was strangely empowering being in the nude."
Touch And Go concerns a professional couple's attempt to save their ailing marriage by trying wife-swapping. Sliding Doors star Zara Turner plays Martin's screen wife Alison. While the subject matter proved an eye-opener, it gave Martin a welcome change of direction.
"I can't be funny all the time and for this I've had to visit emotional places I'd never touched before. Mention wife-swapping and everyone has a good giggle, but the reality can be very dark for those involved," he says. "Most of the stuff I'm shown is sub-standard Men Behaving Badly, but this is really well-written. I thought, 'Just do it'."
The last decade has been hugely successful for Martin - his one regret is that his father, classical actor Alec Clunes, isn't around to share in his glory. Alec died of lung cancer when Martin was just eight.
"I miss him a lot," he says. "But I've got good memories of him. I look a lot like him apparently - although he wasn't blessed with my ears! Hopefully he would have been proud of what I've done in my life. I was definitely proud of him."
His future projects include appearing with Gwyneth Paltrow in Shakespeare In Love, doing three Men Behaving Badly Christmas specials, and completing a TV drama, Hunting Venus, which he directs and stars in opposite Men Behaving Badly cohort Neil Morrissey - who plays a transsexual '80s new romantic!
"At least I'll be able to watch someone else getting their kit off for a change," Martin laughs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How soon do I need to reserve my order?
The sooner the better. If we receive your reservation early, we can prioritize delivery/pickup times and assure you of availability of certain rental items. If you are not sure of the exact amount of tables and chairs needed, we can let you change the number by 20% up to a week before your rental. If you wait to the last minute to add items during our peak spring, summer, and fall seasons, chances are they won't be available.
What size tent(s) should I order?
We have an estimation guide on our planning guide page to assist you. ALWAYS consult your a-1 tent representative to make a final choice.
Do side curtains come with the tent?
No, side curtains are an accessory and are an additional charge.
Can we rent a tent when it is cold/warm?
Yes. We can provide tent side curtains, heaters, and fans to make your environment more suitable.
What factors should be considered when setting up a tent?
Underground items like sewer, wires, cables, sprinklers, etc. Overhead obstructions like trees and powerlines.
Can you setup a tent on a paved parking lot?
Yes. You can stake into the black top. After we are done we can fill in the holes with blacktop. If we can not use stakes you can use a frame tent and use weights to hold the tent down. There will be additional costs involved if we stake into blacktop or use weights for frame tents.
When do you setup and remove the tent?
For large events we usually try to set up a day or two early. Many factors such as flexibility of scheduling, size of installation and coordination of other services such as decorating, catering, and a/v will influence time of setup.
Can you install my tent during off business hours?
If you have restrictions for setup and takedown of an event, we will try to accommodate you. There may be an additional cost for setup or takedown during holidays or non-business hours.
Can I setup the tent myself?
For smaller tents this may be possible. If it is a frame or a large pole tent, only our experienced crews may do the tent setup.
How close does your delivery truck have to be to the setup location?
The closer the better! Most backyard events only require a cleared driveway. Larger events require close proximity. Some equipment can weigh over 5000 pounds! If there is an abnormal distance to the event site there may be an additional charge.
Should I use round or rectangular tables?
Rectangular tables are generally used for less formal events such as backyard parties and church festivals, etc. Round tables are used more for formal events such as weddings and corporate events.
How high should a stage be for a wedding reception or speaker?
Generally 12" is high enough for attendees in the back to have a good view of the people on stage.
For evening events, what type of lights should I use?
Each type of event is different. For weddings we recommend perimeter lighting which gives a subdued lighting affect. This gives you a fine restaurant type lighting. We also recommend some supplemental lighting like pole lamps in the corners or entrance way to the tent.
Do you setup everything on delivery?
Setup of the tent, lighting, dance floors, and staging is included in the rental price of those items. The setup of other items such as tables and chairs will result in an additional charge.
Who is responsible for the repair of any damaged property where the event is held?
We will fill in any holes left by tent stakes. We cannot be responsible for damage to lawns/landscaping caused by being covered by a tent or a floor. We also are not responsible for damage caused by pedestrian traffic at the event.
If I do not see an item I want to rent on your website/catalog can you help me locate it?
Many times our website and catalog can not catch up with our inventory purchases. Call us and we will try to accommodate you.

Morley Callaghan
Morley Edward Callaghan | |
Born | Toronto, Ontario |
February 22, 1903
Died | August 25, 1990 Toronto, Ontario |
(aged 87)
Occupation | novelist, short-story writer, broadcaster |
Awards | Order of Canada, Order of Ontario |
Morley Edward Callaghan, CC OOnt FRSC (February 22, 1903 – August 25, 1990) was a Canadian novelist, short story writer, playwright, TV and radio personality.
Of Canadian/English-immigrant parentage,[1] Callaghan was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. He was educated at Withrow PS, Riverdale Collegiate Institute, the University of Toronto and Osgoode Hall Law School. He articled and was called to the Bar, but did not practice law. During the 1920s he worked at the Toronto Daily Star where he became friends with fellow reporter Ernest Hemingway, formerly of The Kansas City Star. Callaghan began writing stories that were well received and soon was recognized as one of the best short story writers of the day. In 1929[1] he spent some months in Paris, where he was part of the great gathering of writers in Montparnasse that included Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and James Joyce.
He recalled this time in his 1963 memoir, That Summer in Paris. In the book, he discusses the infamous boxing match between himself and Hemingway wherein Callaghan took up Hemingway's challenge to a bout. While in Paris, the pair had been regular sparring partners at the American Club of Paris. Being a better boxer, Callaghan knocked Hemingway to the mat. The blame was centred on referee F. Scott Fitzgerald's lack of attention on the stopwatch as he let the boxing round go past its regulation three minutes. An infuriated Hemingway was angry at Fitzgerald; Hemingway and Fitzgerald had an often caustic relationship and Hemingway was convinced that Fitzgerald let the round go longer than normal in order to see Hemingway humiliated by Callaghan. Whether this boxing match ever took place is a matter of conjecture, but it is certain that it could not have taken place at the American Club of Paris; since its founding in 1904, the American Club of Paris has never had a clubhouse, so it would have been impossible for the fight to have taken place there. If the fight did happen, it could possibly have been at Pershing Hall on the rue Pierre Charron, also known at the time as the American Soldiers and Sailors Club.
Callaghan's novels and short stories are marked by undertones of Roman Catholicism, often focusing on individuals whose essential characteristic is a strong but often weakened sense of self. His first novel was Strange Fugitive (1928); a number of short stories, novellas and novels followed. Callaghan published little between 1937 and 1950 - an artistically dry period. However, during these years, many non-fiction articles were written in various periodicals such as New World (Toronto), and National Home Monthly. Luke Baldwin's Vow, a slim novel about a boy and his dog, was originally published in a 1947 edition of Saturday Evening Post and soon became a juvenile classic read in school rooms around the world. The Loved and the Lost (1951) won the Governor General's Award. Callaghan's later works include, among others, The Many Colored Coat (1960), A Passion in Rome (1961), A Fine and Private Place (1975), A Time for Judas (1983), Our Lady of the Snows (1985). His last novel was A Wild Old Man Down the Road (1988). Publications of short stories have appeared in The Lost and Found Stories of Morley Callaghan (1985), and in The New Yorker Stories (2001). The four volume The Complete Stories (2003) collects for the first time 90 of his stories.
Callaghan was also a contributor to The New Yorker, Harper's Bazaar, Maclean's, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, Saturday Evening Post, Yale Review, New World, Performing Arts in Canada, and Twentieth Century Literature.
Callaghan married Loretto Dee, with whom he had two sons: Michael (born November 1931) and Barry (born 1937), a poet and author in his own right. Barry Callaghan's memoir Barrelhouse Kings (1998), examines his career and that of his father. After outliving most of his contemporaries, Callaghan died after a brief illness in Toronto at the age of 87. He was interred in Mount Hope Catholic Cemetery in Ontario.
Callaghan was awarded the Royal Society of Canada's Lorne Pierce Medal in 1960. In 1982 he was made a Companion of the Order of Canada.
Morley Callaghan is the subject of a CBC Television Life and Times episode, and the CBC mini-series, Hemingway Vs. Callaghan, which first aired in March 2003.

Russian textbooks attempt to rewrite history
Now you see him, now you don't. Stalin was a past master at the art of airbrushing. In one classic set of photographs, there Stalin is with his secret police chief, Nikolai Yezhov — and in the next photo, there Yezhov isn't (he was executed in 1940, with his boss's approval). And now, in Vladimir Putin's Russia, the airbrushing of history seems to be all the rage again.
If you look hard enough — and we travelled for 5,000 miles around the former Soviet Union — you can find old Soviet airbrushing in concrete. Not far from the railway station in Volgograd, formerly Stalingrad, are three giant faces on the frieze of a building: Marx, Engels, and Lenin. Next to them is a strange shadow, a memory of a fourth face no longer there. Stalin's visage was chiselled off, sometime after Nikita Khrushchev's "secret speech" of 1956, in which he denounced Stalin to a closed session of the party congress.
But that is in the sticks, where folk are behind the times. In Kursk underground station in Moscow, a frieze saluting Stalin was removed after the "secret speech". This summer, after an absence of half a century, it mysteriously reappeared. Stalin is back, his name high above the heads of Muscovites heading down into the underground, with a line from the old Stalinist Soviet anthem: "Stalin brought us up and inspired us to carry out heroic deeds." Russia seems to be not de-Stalinising but re-Stalinising.
In Russian schools, something even more troubling appears to be happening. They call it "positive history" and the man behind it is Putin. In 2007, the former secret police chief told a conference of Russian educationists that the country needed a more patriotic history. Putin condemned teachers for having "porridge in their heads", attacked some history textbook authors for taking foreign money — "naturally they are dancing the polka ordered by those who pay them" — and announced that new history textbooks were on their way. Within weeks, a new law was passed giving the state powers to approve and to disallow history textbooks for schools. What does Igor Dolutsky, the author of a history textbook that has been dropped by the Kremlin, make of "positive history"? "It's an appalling idea which hinders proper teaching in schools. School history should not create patriots, it should teach children to think. Putin's task is to rule a state edging towards totalitarianism."

Cupcakes are something you may not think of when you think about Seattle… but hidden in some of the hippest neighborhoods are a few cupcake shops that are sure to surprise. My husband, daughter and I went on a Mini Cupcake Crawl of the Seattle/Tacoma area this weekend. I had four cupcake shops to visit, but only got to three before they all closed. Each had delicious cupcakes, but served them in different style of environments making each stop a unique cupcake experience.
First stop was Hello, Cupcake in Tacoma, WA. This cupcake shop is located on the University of Washington – Tacoma's campus set between several stores, coffee shop and is housed in an original old Tacoma building. You'll notice the old tall, brick buildings that line the street in the photo. The store front was quaint and inviting and even had a pink bike with a basket leaning against the front window, making it feel like a place you could just ride your bike up to, stop in for a cupcake and relax. The vibe inside was very pretty pretty princess. It was clean with lots of light colors. They also had a party room in the back where a little girl was having her birthday party.
I had been in this cupcake shop before, so I already knew which cupcakes I wanted to eat. My daughter picked her favorite, chocolate cupcake with vanilla buttercream frosting and my husband chose the carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.
The chocolate cupcake was very moist, I love a moist cupcake. And the buttercream frosting was smooth and delicious. My favorite though was the carrot cake cupcake. The cinnamon in the cupcake was so flavorful and the cream cheese frosting was a perfect pairing.
Our next stop was Cupcake Royale in Ballard, WA. This location is 1/2 cupcakes 1/2 coffee. Verite Coffee and Cupcake Royale share a space in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, WA making it a very "urban" cupcake shop. Hip, young music paired with eccentric art on the walls and a carefree staff make Cupcake Royale (CR) a true taste of the Seattle life. There was great diversity in visitors at Cupcake Royale. There were college students with their laptops studying while eating a cupcake and enjoying their cappuccinos, 40-something girlfriends catching up on old times, a few people sitting alone, enjoying their treats behind their computer screen, and of course, my family.
The Peppermint Pattie cupcake had a moist, chocolate cupcake with a peppermint buttercream frosting. My husband LOVES peppermint and this cupcake was right up his alley. The buttercream peppermint flavor had just the right amount of mint flavoring… not too over the top, just enough to make it taste minty delicious in your mouth.
The mini cupcake was perfect size for my daughter. It was your basic chocolate with buttercream frosting cupcake, but the frosting was pink with sprinkles. This cupcake definitely made my little princess feel like she was eating a dainty, cupcake made just for her! "Emily-Size" we called it!
This Lemon Drop cupcake was a surprise in my mouth. Lemon buttercream frosting on top of a vanilla buttercake cupcake… MMmmmmmmmmm Yummmm-O is really all I can say. It was an explosion of flavor in my mouth. Sweet, sour all at the same time. Smooth. This was one of my favorites of the day!
Our last stop was to Trophy Cupcakes and Party in Wallingford, a suburb of Seattle, WA. This neighborhood is a little more upscale from Ballard and the cupcake shop was located inside the Wallingford Center full of shops and restaurants.
Trophy had the largest selection of specialty cupcakes on display in comparison to the other two shops, although none of them were for sale. Bright colors, unique frosting, flowers, sprinkles, Valentine's Day themed, all white. Very beautiful displays. They were really fun to see!
Since we made it to Trophy only an hour before closing, all they had left was the triple chocolate cupcake. We cut into the moist cupcake and took a bite. This was the richest, most chocolatey cupckae we had tasted all day. It was too much for any of us to finish. We left 1/3 of the cupcake on the plate.
We also tried a very special cupcake, which I have to say was probably my most favorite cupcake of the day, astecially. It's the Barack Obama cupcake. Chocolate cupcake with vanilla buttercream frosting with sprinkles on the side with Baracks face on the top of the cupcake. His face made with edible ink and a special printer that prints on to the cupcake. Although the buttercream at Trophy had a thinner texture and tasted less like butter than others it was just as delicious. These novelty cupcakes would be a great addition to a Jan. 20, 2009 Presidential Inaguration Party! I may just order some!
In the end we had gone to three cupcake shops, eaten seven cupcakes and had three very full bellies. My husband liked the Peppermint Pattie cupcake the best, my daughter enjoyed the Chocolate and Vanilla buttercream the most, but liked the how the Obama cupcake looked and my favorite was the Lemon Drop with the Carrot Cake and Peppermint Pattie in close second and third. My plan is to visit a few more cupcake shops in the Seattle/Tacoma area in the coming months… of course, I'll blog about those too.

The rumor mills are churning: Will architecture firm Perkins+Will merge with the London-based Pringle Brandon design studio?
Perkins+Will, which opened its own London office in 2007, announced last week that it is in discussions with Pringle Brandon about joining the two companies. If they go through with the merger, the new firm would be known as Pringle Brandon Perkins+Will and would cover multiple sectors including corporate and commercial design, healthcare, and transportation.
Both companies have seen rapid growth in the past few years and are now looking to expand their businesses by joining forces. Perkins+Will president and CEO Phil Harrison said this about the potential merger:
Pringle Brandon's stature in corporate interiors, workplace strategy, and more recently architecture, is a compelling complement to Perkins+Will and would enhance our ability to provide local resources to clients throughout Europe.
Pringle Brandon Drew, a new practice offering base build architectural services, launched by Pringle Brandon, would also operate under the combined company. Together, Perkins+Will and Pringle Brandon have more than 100 years of design experience.

Grantees that are not designated as a Section 166 grantee for PY 2008-2009 will not receive Section 166 funds and therefore, there is no need for them to submit a two-year plan. Grant designations will be made in accordance with the procedures described in the Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA) process which was published in the Federal Register on January 4, 2008 (73 Federal Re. 883).
As indicated in No. 4 below, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) expects the initial submission of the two-year plan to thoroughly address the guiding questions in Attachment B. Plans that fail to meet these standards will not be approved. Therefore, grantees are encouraged to begin working on their two-year strategic plan as soon as they receive this TEGL.
