Arizona Education Leaders Come to Washington DC to Discuss Education Policy
The Obama Administration continually seeks opportunities to meet with state and local stakeholders, whether in Washington DC or in communities across the country. The White House and the Department of Education recently hosted a group of education leaders from across the country. Arizona State Senator David Schapira was part of the group and shared an overview of their day:
150 current and former teachers descended on the nation's capitol lastweek as the White House invited the educators to come to Washington to meet with Education Secretary Arne Duncan. Many in this particular group of educators have the common experience of working in high-need schools in urban and rural areas across the country through their participation in Teach For America. Many of those who have completed their two-year Teach For America teaching commitment still serve those communities as classroom teachers, while others have moved into school leadership, education policy and elected leadership positions.
Those in attendance on August 16 had the opportunity to visit the White House and the Department of Education. At the Department,they met with Secretary Duncan and his senior staff. The Secretary hosted a two-hour discussion on the state of education in the U.S. and the future of education policy at the federal level. A wide range of topics were discussed, including teacher quality initiatives, education funding reform and rural education policy, as well as issues involving reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (No Child Left Behind).
The forum concluded with the sentiment that many more of these conversations with educators should take place, ensuring that teachers and local education leaders are involved in the decision-making and implementation of federal, state and local policy.
Michael Block is Assistant Director in the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs.

9 appointed to foreign posts; turf of envoy to US widened
MANILA, Philippines—President Benigno Aquino III has expanded the jurisdictions of the Philippine ambassador to the United States and four other envoys in a major revamp of key diplomatic posts overseas.
The President expanded the power and responsibilities of Jose Cuisia Jr., the ambassador to Washington who has concurrent jurisdiction over the US Virgin Islands, Grenada and Puerto Rico.
The revamp gives Cuisia three additional territorial jurisdictions—Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica and Haiti.
Nine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) officials were also given overseas postings in the United Kingdom, France and other European, Latin American and Middle Eastern countries.
Mr. Aquino submitted their nominations as ambassadors extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the congressional Commission on Appointments on July 19.
Besides Cecilia Rebong, who was appointed as the new permanent representative of the Philippines to the United Nations in New York, Mr. Aquino appointed the following ambassadors: Maria Rowena M. Sanchez (Turkey with concurrent jurisdiction over Georgia and Azerbaijan); Victoriano Lecaros (Czech Republic); Theresa Lazaro (France with concurrent jurisdiction over Monaco); Jaime Victor Ledda (The Netherlands); Catalino Dilem Jr. (Mexico with concurrent jurisdiction over Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Venezuela and Cuba); Narciso Castañeda (Oman); Edsel Barba (Iraq); and Vicente Vivencio Bandillo (Bangladesh with concurrent jurisdiction over Sri Lanka and the Maldives).
Dilem will replace the current ambassador to Mexico, George Reyes, who will be retiring soon.
The incoming ambassador to Mexico will oversee a vast posting encompassing the current jurisdiction of the Philippine Embassy in Mexico (plus the Central American countries), with Venezuela, the Dominican Republic and Cuba as additional jurisdictions.
Mr. Aquino also expanded the jurisdictions of the following ambassadors: Eleanor Jaucian (Hungary with concurrent jurisdiction over Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia), with Romania, Bulgaria and Moldova as additional jurisdictions; Enrique Manalo (the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland), with Ireland as additional jurisdiction; Bayani Mercado (Norway with concurrent jurisdiction over Iceland and Denmark), with Finland and Sweden as additional jurisdictions; Patricia Ann Paez (Poland), with Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania as additional jurisdictions.
According to deputy spokesperson Abigail Valte, the reconfiguration of the foreign policy terrain would not affect the country's bilateral relations with these regions nor overstretch the reach of an already lean consular workforce abroad attending to the needs of overseas Filipino workers.
"Out of the additional jurisdictions announced earlier, only the post in Dublin and Cuba were part of the 10 that were closed down by DFA since the current administration assumed office. The rest of the areas were simply realigned from other existing posts after an assessment done by the DFA," Valte said.
Most of the new appointees, like Ledda and Lazaro, are currently occupying sub-Cabinet-level positions at the DFA head office in Manila.

Re: Modern Hull forms and Motion Comfort
Different hull designs have different applications example: the "entry angle of a racing boat is for one purpose and one purpose only, speed (with no concern for comfort or ease of handling)...while the bow of a cruising boat designed handle comfortably in nasty weather at sea is a totally different thing...for a good reason. So why do you find racing hull designs on cruising boat. The marketing industry does this for two reasons, [1] "if my boat has some of the features of a racing boat it will go faster. [2} People are led to believe that anything of old design is bad and anything new must work better.

LOL..if anything the reverse. Connors kept playing because he loved the $$$ and milked whatever he could out of the fans and the game for this.
not only that he had no respect for the game or himself playing someone who
is nowhere near as good a player as he is...then "goes through the motions"
now how "going through the motions" translates to respect for the game i don't know.
by contrast...borg and especially sampras knew their ending as good players was near and thus didn't BS fans in paying money for seeing "a great player" when in reality it was crap play from a washed up player due to age.
then Connors has the nerve to say he was one of the most competitive
just LOL
So does he have a weakness?
yeah..he can't cook - chang talking bout sampras

All Items : Estate Jewelry : Other Metals : Pre 1930 item #1108206 (stock #0011161L)
This bracelet is so lavishly decorated that words are really lacking to describe it with justice. It is a true Art Nouveau period piece circa 1915-1920's. Art Nouveau was an important, avant-garde movement that appeared at the turn of the 20th century whose principle was that nature rather than the ancient classicist should be the foundation of all art. The entire surface of the bracelet is covered with opulent Art Nouveau patterns of flowers, flourishes, and in the center, a raised design of an iris. The craftsmanship on the bracelet is superb and it is still in great condition. It has a snap closure that works well and closes with a strong, "snap". It measures 1-3/4" tall at the center of the front and tapers to ¾" the rest of the way around. It is approximately 7-1/4" inside circumference. It is an extraordinary bracelet and one that will steal the show. As with all antique and vintage jewelry, you must take care of it to preserve it as well as it has been thus far.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Other Metals : Pre 1980 item #1070239 (stock #0011690e)
This is an extraordinarily beautiful cuff bracelet, crafted with impeccable artisan workmanship. The base is solid brass, with copper wire channel-set in perfect symmetry. It is marked with an "L", which is a mark I am unfamiliar with. This bracelet is one that is a real treasure in design and craftsmanship. It measures 1-1/2" wide X 2" across the widest span.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Costume : Pre 1980 item #1045660 (stock #001175L)
Here is masterpiece charm bracelet that is totally top shelf! This one is so packed with prize pieces that it is difficult to count them, but I think there are 45 charms! These intriguing and nostalgic charms are pearls, faceted crystals, stones, mother–of-pearl, pearl and gold-colored ornaments, and many other baubles too unique to describe. The photos show better details of this bracelet, fashioned from a bygone era. The gold color chain and decorative parts appear to be brass or something similar. The bracelet is in excellent condition with only one charm that shows wear. It is almost 8" wearable length and looks like a wrist ruff on the arm. This is one that will stop a clock at any gathering!
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Silver : Mexican : Pre 1940 item #1124922 (stock #0011191e)
These elegant vintage Taxco sterling silver earrings are decorated with symmetrical flourishes covering the surface, reminiscent of heraldic symbols. The graceful design is raised with dark patinaed background. They are marked, " Taxco 925 Mexico" in a circle, with the artist's initials, "AVC" in the center. It also has the Eagle 3 assay stamp and part of what was probably "sterling". This artist is documented in Bille Hougart's, "The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks". They are approximately 1-1/4 long and ¾" wide, and are screw backs. They weigh 7 grams. These were probably cast and then cut out around the edge of the design. Then the alpaca screw backs were soldered on. These are in excellent vintage condition and are a striking sophisticated design.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Silver : Mexican : Pre 1940 item #1132204 (stock #00011192e)
This vintage Mexican brooch depicts a large pitcher or ewer that is rounded and punctuated with silver balls and turquoise. It is beautifully crafted and an old style from the pre-Eagle era of Mexican silver. It is circa 1930?s-1940?s. The small cabochon stone is turquoise and is bezel-set. The artist who crafted this was very skilled because the piece is impeccably executed. Gerardo Lopez designed a ewer like this and this could have been done in his shop. Often tallers allowed silversmiths to sell a few of their own without the maestro's mark. It was fabricated by hand, cut from silver sheet, and the shape formed by repousse, as well as the raised silver balls. Then the clasp was soldered on and the back soldered to the front and the stone set. It is marked, "Made in Mexico Silver". It measures 2-1/2? tall x 1-3/4? at the widest point. It weighs 10.6 grams. The piece is in beautiful vintage condition with absolutely no scratches or dings. The clasp works perfectly. This is a highly collectible piece.

This old silver pendant is highly decorative and intriguing. Made by hand by tribal artists in this country in western Asia. This piece was originally made to go with several matching beads, strung as a bridal necklace. The starshot design is one of three prominent patterns used by Yemen Jewish silversmiths in the early 1900s. These artisans were were always conscientious about preserving wealth of his bridal customer because she would depend on her cache of silver should her husband be unable to provide for her. The surface is adorned with silver wire and raised designs and displays a rich grey and black patina with the raised silver design peeking through. This pendant also has a maker's mark next to the ring that holds the small dangling balls. The cartouche is pressed into molten silver. The chain is 21" long and the large bead is about 1-1/2" in diameter. This is a treasure for someone who appreciates very old tribal arts.

Copper Giant Link Abstract Design Bracelet-1950's-'60's This vintage bracelet is such a large scale that no one can miss it. It has three huge links with a raised abstract that looks like a "tornado" design on each one. It's very shiny and a captivating design for someone who is not afraid to wear striking, fashionable pieces that are always noticed. It measures about 7-1/2" wearable length with each link measuring 2"X2". It fits a smaller wrist because there isn't much curve to it. It is in very good vintage condition with no visible flaws. The clasp works fine with a tiny bit on wear showing on the outside. It is not marked.

These sterling silver earrings are large and showy and were made by a Mexican silversmith sometime in the late '70's-'80's. They are sculptural and dramatic and weigh 24.8 grams. They are marked, "925, TO-40, Mexico". TO-40 is for Taxco artist Judith Cuervo Ortiz. They are worn with the pointed end down and measure2-3/4" tip-to-tip and are almost 1" wide at the widest point. The design is bold and they are definitely a statement piece.

This vintage Kazakh silver Asyk Heart pendant is representative of those that are given to the Turkoman women as dowry gifts and worn as a symbol of marriage and fertility. The surface of this pendant is adorned with perfectly formed spirals and tiny circles made of silver wire. The edge also was wire that was flattened to create a texture. In the center is a bezel-set agate and there is still some gilt showing on the surface. This is a very fine historical piece in good vintage condition. The pendant measures 2-5/8" tall X 1-3/4" wide at the widest point. Like other nomadic tribes of Central Asia, the Kazakh's were of Turco-Mongolian heritage. Their nomadic travels brought them to Iran, China, Tibet, Afghanistan, Mongolia, Iraq, and elsewhere. There are Kazakhs living in Turkmenistan and Turkmen in Tajikistan, and there is often a mingled influence of cultures in jewelry design and function.

This ring has a very contemporary vibe, but is more likely from the 1950's. It has 5 raised bands around the shank that begin wider at the stone, tapering to smaller at the base of the ring. Each of the band is square-cut and raised with textured depressions in between. The center is graced by an onyx elliptical-shaped, bezel-set, cabochon stone. The only marking is "925" with no makers mark. It has the look of very old Taxco, Mexican work, but I cannot be sure. It is in excellent vintage condition. It has been sized at one time, but looks fine.

This distinctly elegant brooch was made by a known Mexican silver master, Lico. The impeccable execution of this brooch substantiates the skill of the artist who created it. This exquisite piece is a lyrical shape of swirls and suggestion of leaves, and is very 3-dimensional. It measures 2-3/4" on the longest dimension and is 1-1/2" at the widest point. It weighs gram 12.1 grams. It is marked, "Sterling, Lico, Taxco, 925". It is circa 1940's. The silversmiths of this era in Taxco were known for their unequalled design and craftsmanship. Their worked became sought-after all over the world and brought fame to the tiny village of Taxco. Most of these masters are no longer living, so their work is even more collectible. The roll part of the clasp is missing, but it still works as a clasp. It is very striking and is obviously quite old, but is in excellent vintage condition.
All Items : Estate Jewelry : Ethnic : Far Eastern : Pre 1950 item #1174129 (stock #.122308)
This necklace is very primitive in style as it was made by tribal peoples many years ago. I don't know the age precisely, but it must be about 40 yrs. old., maybe older. It is about 24" long with silver beads interspersed between the pipestone. It is something that looks well with other beads and chains to have a layered effect. It is in good condition and the clasp is a simple hook and eye.

This little pin shows a dancing monkey and other symbols. This dancing monkey or "Chuen", is a familiar theme in Mayan artifacts and Mexican jewelry. Chuen is the name for the Monkey Day Glyph in the Mayan calendar. This symbol is associated with master artisan, master craftsman, imaginative, mischievous, gaining wisdom through curiosity. William Spratling, the father of Taxco silver artistry, and other designers used it often. Although it is small, it is a really fine piece of inlay work. The face is matt-finished silver with the monkey cut out revealing the black material underneath. It may be plastic. It also has other bits of copper and turquoise that show through the cut out shapes. The back is also matt finished silver that has tiny rivets securing it to the black material. It is magnificently crafted to perfection, and was entirely fabricated by hand. It is marked, "Sterling, 925, Mexico" in the shape of a triangle. The maker's mark, "AMI", is inside the triangle, and what looks like a crown is below the triangle. "AMI" is referred to in Bille Hougart's, The Little Book Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks". It measures 1-3/4" x 1-1/8" x 1/8" thick, and weighs 7.5 grams. This lovely piece is in excellent vintage condition. It would be a great gift.

Copper jewelry was very popular in the 1950's and '60's and this cuff bracelet is from that era. It is a remarkable design with pierced brass covering most of the copper, but with cutouts that let the copper peek through. Each cutout is a scalloped-edge circle with a brass dome in between each one. It is a simple, yet intriguing design and is quite stunning. It measures about 6" end-to-end and is 1-1/2" wide. It can be bent to fit most any arm as copper is very malleable. It is in excellent vintage condition and will grace the arm of the buyer with great panache.

This antique bracelet and earrings are made in the traditional Mexican "coffee bean" style with green half moon stones. The coffee bean style is made from silver domes that have been mashed in the center with a narrow tool. This sterling bracelet has 8 links, with alternating stones set in silver with rows of small silver balls, and the coffee bean "flower" motif in between. It has a pair of matching earrings that are screw backs. The bracelet is marked, "Taxco, 925" and the earrings, "silver, Mexico". They are most likely from the 1940's because of the markings and the typical wear. I'm not sure of the stone, but think it could be Lucite or some other synthetic material used in that era. This is a very nice set and the clasp on the bracelet works well.

These vintage earrings are the work of Marjorie Baer, jewelry designer, who has made a name by designing unusual mixtures of metals in intriguing powerful designs. She reuses some objects to combine in ways that have an "industrial" feel. She started designing when she finished school at UC Berkley, went to New York, and sold her first pieces on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum. She is based in San Francisco and signs her work, "Baer SF". The intriguing thing about these earrings is the stair step levels that give the pieces a look of an ancient pyramid. They are very 3-dimensional because of the way she has handled the "steps" in the brass. They measure 1" square and are in very good vintage condition, but could use a good cleaning if you like them very shiny. These are clip ons.

This magnificent sterling silver cross is a true masterpiece of silversmithing. It is sumptuously decorated with silver braided wire and silver balls covering the surface, and a pink CZ in the center. Even the bail is covered with the same ornate design. It is a Jerusalem Cross, also known as the Crusaders' Cross, which was first used in 1099 as a coat of arms for the newly established Kingdom of Jerusalem, marking the recapture of the city and the Christian Holy Land by the First Crusade. The Jerusalem Cross is comprised of a central cross with four surrounding smaller crosses. It is said that the Jerusalem cross (Crusaders' Cross), represents Christ and the four Evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and the spread of Christianity from its origins in the Holy Land to the four corners of the earth. It is extremely well crafted and is quite old. It is marked, "Silver 999 Jerusalem", on the back, which indicates that it is almost pure silver and made in Jerusalem. The pendant measures 1-3/4" long x 1-3/8" wide. It is in good vintage condition.

This interesting necklace was crafted by someone from a Kuchi nomadic tribe in the Middle Eastern area of the Shomali Plain in Afghanistan. The name Kuchi is translated from the Persian work for camper. The Kuchi have continued to remain a migratory tribe. These bejeweled and brightly colored robed people are known for their very lavish and ornate jewelry and embroidery work which require many hours to create. The necklace is a little over 20" long with the decorative lapis and beads occupying about 4-5". The dangles hang down about two inches and there are 9 bezel-set lapis lazuli with tiny wire rope at the base. The rest of the necklace is silver beads, most likely coin silver with a simple hook and eye clasp. This is a beautiful, unusual and striking necklace.

A very spacious townhouse which catches the cooling tradewinds off the Pacific Ocean. The property has two storeys; on the upper floor are 2 double bedrooms and a bathroom; on the ground floor is a double bedroom with en-suite and air conditioning and a smaller bedroom also with air conditioning. There is also a large lounge/dining area and kitchen on the ground floor. All rooms have ceiling fans.
Outside is an enclosed garden with a covered veranda looking onto the lagoon with a table and seating for eight. The garden has banana and papaya trees and is surrounded by coconut palms. See the link - http://www.vanuatu.travel
Also see our chalet/cottage in Norfolk ref. no. 497441 to rent.
Vanuatu luxuriates in a tropical maritime climate with characteristic uniform temperature, high humidity and variable rainfall. Winds are generally light except during a tropical storm. The climate of Vanuatu can be defined by two main seasons, the cold (dry) season from MAY to OCTOBER and the hot (wet/cyclone) season from NOVEMBER TO APRIL.
The island of Efate is full of the most beautiful white sand beaches; the sea is a wonderful clear blue and the temperature is usually around 28 degrees. The locals have been voted the happiest and friendliest in the world. For eating you can choose between simple local meals at the colourful market or haut cuisine at one of the many top class restaurants or resorts, (the locally reared beef is outstanding). A new road now circuits the island and so every corner is easily accessible by hire car, taxi or local bus. Visit the handicraft, local fruit and veggies market in town. Port Vila is Vanuatu's only duty-free port and a shopper's delight with its colourful blend of French, English and Melanesian cultures. French perfume, champagne and patisseries can be found alongside souvenir outlets, jewellery and gift shops, and fashion wear including brightly coloured sarongs and-printed t-shirts, board shorts and beachwear.
Divers come from all over the world for Vanuatu's superb visibility, warm water and world-class dive sites. The underwater world offers plunging cliffs, grottoes and overhangs plus huge caves and intricate tunnels and life abundant over all this making for a visual feast. Divers can be surrounded by sea fans, soft corals and acropora gardents, plate corals, sponges and thousands of curious fish.
But the true drawcard for diving in Vanuatu is the SS 'President Coolidge' - the largest wreck dive in the world. This 22,000 ton luxury liner converted to troop ship sank fully laden during the war, just a few metres off the beach.
Vanuatu (Vanuatu means 'Land Eternal') is a 'Y'-shaped chain of 83 islands 800km west of Nadi (Fiji). The islands range from towering volcanic cones to others covered in dense rainforest to others which are raised coral islands with wide beaches and deep natural harbours.
Port Vila is said to be the most beautiful capital in the Pacific. It lies on a horseshoe-shape bay on the south-west coast of the island Efate. Port Vila is charming mixed cultures, blending elements of Melanesian, English, French and Chinese tastes.
One of the main attractions of Port Vila is the famous Port Vila Market which comes alive everyday, except Sunday when the stall holders return to spend a day with their families. Wander through rows of tropical fruits, vegetables, flowers, shells, artifacts and souvenir stalls. Make your visit to Port Vila memorable, and let our town house be your Home Away from Home! Available for long term rents.

What is Group Therapy?
- Group Therapy is intended for you to gain peer support in dealing with personal or interpersonal challenges.
- It can be especially effective for people interested in exploring their interpersonal style and enhancing their approach to relationships in such areas as trust, intimacy, anger, conflict, assertiveness, taking risks, or improving self-esteem.
Group Confidentiality
One of the most important aspects of Group Therapy is the trust that is built between members. Each member must be prepared to make a commitment of confidentiality and respect for each of their fellow members. Depending on the group, some other commitments might include agreeing to come for a minimum number of sessions, coming to every group meeting or calling if you have to miss a group. As in any relationship, the development of trust, cohesion, and a sense of safety allows people to talk personally and honestly.
We offer a variety of groups...
Undergraduate Student Therapy Group
College can be an overwhelming experience. Therefore, each week, we provide time for undergrad students to freely discuss concerns or challenges they may be having. Some of these concerns may include unsatisfactory relationships (family, friends, or romantic), isolation, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and academic pressures. Members will help each other better understand their difficulties and will support each other through the process of positive change.

Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation
Being 'mindful' means directing attention towards one's experience of the present moment, in a non-judgmental way. Meditation has long been used as a tool for cultivating a more mindful awareness. In recent years, research has shown that regular practice of mindfulness meditation can improve mood and reduce the negative effects of stress. This semester, we are offering an introduction to the practice of mindfulness meditation. This group will meet for one hour a week, over a six week period. There will be an experiential (meditation) component each week. No previous experience with meditation is required. Enrollment is open to all undergraduate and graduate students. Interested students should contact Dr. Jodi Pendroy to schedule a brief screening to determine if meditation is right for his or her needs.
Here is an example of weekly offerings (subject to change):
Week 1 - Stepping out of auto-pilot: how mindful awareness differs from routines as usual
Week 2 - Radical acceptance: learning to practice self-compassion
Week 3 - Everything changes: learning to accept change and get through the present moment
Week 4 - Body and mind: attending to the wisdom of the body, and listening to thoughts as 'stories'
Week 5 - Avoiding experience and obsessing over experience: mindfulness as healthy middle ground
Week 6 - Review: making use of tools from group in everyday life
Mondays 5:00-6:00pm (March 23, 2015 - April 27, 2015)

Stocks end lower
popular .
Local stocks weakened for the third straight session Monday as investors across the region turned cautious ahead of the "ghost month" and a forthcoming US Federal open market committee (FOMC) meeting.
The main-share Philippine Stock Exchange index lost 45.96 points or 0.68 percent to close at 6,717.66.
Across the region, stock markets were mostly in the red as investors awaited the stream of second-quarter corporate earnings results, further clues on US monetary policy from the July 30-31 FOMC meeting while some investors remained on the sidelines as the "ghost month" drew nearer. The so-called "ghost month" from Aug. 7 to Sept. 4 is expected to result in meager trading volumes in the market.
Volume turnover amounted to P5.7 billion. There were only 59 advancers, 101 decliners while 34 stocks were unchanged.
By counter, the financial sub-index was the most battered
(-1.86 percent) as second-quarter profit growths were seen mostly slower compared to the first quarter.
On the other hand, the mining/oil counter was the day's outperformer (+3.7 percent) led by Lepanto (+25 percent) after the mining firm led by businessman Felipe Yap obtained consent from indigenous people to proceed with the Far Southeast gold mining venture with Gold Fields in Mankayan, Benguet.
Among index stocks, the laggers were Jollibee (-3.99 percent) and BPI (-2.89 percent) while RLC, MWC and Metrobank all declined by more than 2 percent. Semirara, Philex, SM Prime, Ayala Land and AEV all fell. Doris C. Dumlao

About the Owner
We have been visiting Branson since we were children, came here on our honeymoon over 30 years ago and will likely retire here in the coming years. We love the hills, the community and all that the area has to offer. Silver Dollar City is a favorite attraction for us from opening in April through the last day in Dec. We had our adult children there one year over Christmas riding roller coasters with mittens and muffs on! My husband is a fly fisherman and the trout season never ends at Taney Como. The new addition of the Landing has proved to be yet another place we visit each time we come. I have been told that I have the gift of hospitality and we would have loved to have run a bed and breakfast but we would not like having to live on site on the weekends, so having vacation homes for rent seemed to be a great fit for our dreams. I am a professional decorator and enjoy getting to decorate our vacation homes for our guests. We hope that you find them to be luxurious yet comfortable and a wonderful place to share time with your family and friends. Enjoy! Debbie and Bruce Stolle
Guestbook comments from the owner
"Dear Debbie and Bruce, My husband and I LOVED your cottage! The fireplace was cozy and we found ourselves watching the birds feeding off the deck with great interest. I even took some pictures. Thanks for providing the extra bird seed, they went through it so fast. We found everything we could possibly need and so organized! The highlight for us was the private hot tub and spa robes. We were grateful to be able to purchase a set to have at home and your welcome note and gift was so thoughtful. We hope to return in the summer to enjoy the pool and lake! Thank you again for your great hospitality. PS. Okay, so my husband REALLY loved the PIN BALL machine too!"

Fantastic Christmas
Great house!!
Great family trip!
Such a beautiful place to stay!
The grand-kids loved the pool, the adult "kids" enjoyed the pool table and the pin ball machine, and the hot tub.
We made all of our breakfasts in the well stocked kitchen, and grilled outside on the deck for several dinners. I brought a ton of paper plates, but when the kids saw the cute kids' plates, those were the only ones they would use!
While there, we went to Silver Dollar City and Moonshine Beach, both easy drives from that location. Also, several of our coffee enthusiasts in the family discovered an impressive local coffee shop. And they are not easily impressed!
We had made the reservations many months in advance and so had several emails and conversations with the owners, Debbie and Bruce. They were so gracious and accommodating - a real joy to work with. Thank you so much for the hospitality!
Gorgeous 6-Bedroom HOME AWAY FROM HOME, but BETTER!
From the Owner
"We dreamed of owning a vacation home that we could visit regularly. On my husband's birthday we came to Branson after not having been here in a long while. We were surprised at how close it actually was to our home near St. Louis. While he was fishing ALL DAY, I explored the internet looking for properties. I landed on Branson Canyon and showed him the cottage display saying this is what my dream vacation house would be. We found it and signed the contract to build within the week. It has the privacy of being in a home, yet the grounds are kept by the HOA and we have the use of a lovely pool and club house."

From the Owner
"We have brought all of our generations here to celebrate holidays and enjoy the walk to Table Rock Lake, the wonderful getaways within our home...front porch swing, window seat upstairs, deck, patio, not to mention the two living areas and five bedrooms. The pool and clubhouse are always on the list and our location is so great we get to visit many attractions and restaurants while here. We usually have movie nights, we take turns preparing meals, love a game of dominos and the pin ball machine is too much fun! We have had horse shoe tournaments in the back yard, made smores over our fire pit and soaking in the Hot Springs Hot Tub is a great way to end the day. We just enjoy being together in one beautiful space."

Provenance Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc 2011
Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
This Sauvignon Blanc is made exclusively from Provenance's Rutherford estate fruit. By pressing the cluster whole cluster and fermenting the wine primarily in stainless steel, they captured the aromas of lemon lime, guava and pineapple. Bright acidity and notes of spice add balance to this wine. Provenance selected a Stelvin closure for the Estate Sauvignon Blanc to enhance the freshness and ensure the quality of this wonderful ready-to-drink wine.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Grassy herbal tea notes give a fresh note to the citrus and apple flavors on a sleek, juicy frame."
Provenance Vineyards
Provenance Vineyards showcases the distinctiveness of Napa Valley's best growing areas for red wines by selecting some of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards in the Rutherford and Oakville districts and Merlot vineyards in the Carneros district. The same uncompromising approach also characterizes Provenance winemaking, with the goal of bringing the grapes from these great vineyards to their fullest potential. Starting with its inaugural 1999 vintage, Provenance's approachable, yet cellar-worthy wines display a fine symmetry of substance and elegance.
The word provenance means "origin" or "source." In the art world, a provenance is the record of a work's ownership, from its creation to the present day. Connoisseurs place great importance in provenance as a guarantee of authenticity. The name reflects Provenance Vineyards' goal of creating fine wines that are works of art.

About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just grated an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Ten Holt (Canto Ostinato) died
Posté par jpgadmin activé Monday, 26 November 2012
Lundi, Novembre 26, 2012 - 11:34
Composer reference:
Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt, who became world famous with his Canto Ostinato, died yesterday in a hospital in Alkmaar. Last year there was a Dutch documentary film about the Canto Ostinato, called Over Canto (About Canto) about the influence the composition had on various people.
Simeon ten Holt became 89 years old. He started his composing career as a serial music composer, but switched to his now famous harmonious, repetitive style in the 1970s.

Pro-strongman Jesse Marunde died about a week ago as well...
RIP Jacob Schlottke - 1984-2011
"If Cornell finishes ahead of Iowa with five all americans I'll jump into the Des Moines River after finals." -Herkey#1 8/16/12
"cerebral" ... that's the word I was looking for!
Do any of you guys remember Dan Akroyd's dead on impression of Tom Snyder from the original SNL cast? His impressions were so good, I sometimes have trouble differentiating the real person from the impression. Bergman, Snyder and Walsh. Sad to see these three go.
It's been interesting to see on the video obituaries for Tom Snyder, most have shown Dan Ackroyd's dead-on impersonation... which is perfectly cool, because, for many folks, that's all they know of Tom Snyder. (More folks probably watched SNL back in its heyday than viewed "Tomorrow" on a regular basis.)
Interesting to hear today of the passing of yet another art-house movie director, Michangelo Antonioni, Italian film director who gave the world one of the quintessential Sixties mod movies, "Blowup" about a photographer who may or may not have snapped an image that includes a murder. (Not to be confused with Brian DePalma's 1980s movie "Blow Out" with Travolta, about a sound engineer who may or may not have made a recording of a murder.)
And... let's not forget the passing of the Houston TV consumer reporter whose real-life "involvement" with a brothel was the inspiration for the musical "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas." (Sorry, I forgot the guy's name!)
"Let's fire up a colortini in honor of all the greats who've left us this week." ("Fire up a colortini" was a Snyder catchphrase on his 1990s CBS show)

A friend got these for my dog
posted 7 years ago
Okay when I told a friend how I came up with my newly adopted dog's name she suggested that she wear these when she is naughty like her namesake. Hence her name is Mean-a Meana. She can be mean with her siblings if you let her and she is smarter than most people think. Anyway the product is red demon horns that fit comfortably on her head. I'm going to post a photo so you can see so you'll know what I'm talking about. I love this and if you can find it when the holiday comes back around get one for your pooch if they are a little devil like mine. My friend said the company makes a variety of these so you're bound to find one you like.
Pros: My dog looked great in it
Cons: Not everyone will use these

Scientific explanations aside, there are many myths about the origin of Kelimutu. This is one of the reasons why Mount Kelimutu was, and still is a sacred place for the local people. Over the years, the three crater lakes have often changed color. At present, one of the lakes is black-brown, one is green, and one is currently changing from green to a reddish color. A reason may be the varying mineral contents of the water. Another explanation suggests that the changing colors are caused by the neglected ancestral souls.
The first lake is named Tiwu Ata Mbupu (lake of the ancestors' souls ); the second is named Tiwu Nuwa Muri Koo Fai (lake of young people's souls); and the third is called Tiwu Ata Polo (lake of evil spirits). The first and second lakes are situated close together; while the third lake is about 1.5km to the west. Kelimutu is a beautiful place at any time of the day. However, the best time to enjoy this magical place is in the early morning when the clouds haven't yet covered the view. Many visitors prefer to see the sunrise

World Youth Peace Summit Aims To Increase Role of Women in the Peace Process
HARTFORD, Conn., June 9, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The World Youth Peace Summit (WYPS), an initiative of the Institute for International Sport, has set an important objective to give women a greater voice in the peace process.
Daniel E. Doyle Jr., Founder and Director of the World Youth Peace Summit made the following statement:
"One of the most impressive outcomes of Title IX is that the legislation opened the doors to women to enter the field of sport as professionals in a variety of areas. There is better policy, better writing, and infinitely more enlightened thinking on ways that we can use sport as a means to educate.
Which leads me to world peace.
As a student at the Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy in the '80s, I recall one of my professors stating that of the people in our world making decisions on peace and war, less than 2% are women. Regrettably, that statistic has not changed very much."
On July 2nd one of the featured panels is the "Voices of Women." The panel will be chaired by The Honorable Silvia Poll, Costa Rican Ambassador to the U.N., Olympic medalist and member of the "Champions for Peace" club of elite athletes committed to serving peace through sport. This panel will be followed by a spring 2012 symposium at the Center for Social Entrepreneurship focusing on this important issue.
About the WYPS
Taking place from July 1-4, 2011 in Hartford, Connecticut, it will bring together engaged citizens from all over the world and foster international dialogue, along with awareness and exploration of community-building initiatives. Individuals and organizations will present the story and process behind their work and impart "how-to" knowledge during workshops and lectures. The WYPS mission is to take the positive energy and motivation of engaged citizens and to encourage the creation and implementation of community-building initiatives all over the world.
Keynote addresses include Brad Corrigan (of the band Dispatch), Nobel Laureate Jody Williams and General Colin Powell. The Summit will also feature a number of panel discussions such as "Voices of United Nations", which will include six leading U.N. Diplomats.
Tickets for the World Youth Peace Summit are on sale now. Full four day ticket packages are $120, day passes are $45.
To order tickets by phone, call the University of Hartford Hartt School at 800.274.8587. To order tickets online, visit http://harttweb.hartford.edu/tickets.aspx. For more information, visit www.youthpeacesummit.org.
